NATIONAL St. Petersburg Timet, Thursday, May 1. 1961 Disney dated January 15, 1968 and S50-million, five per cent convertible subordinated debentures dated March 1, 1969 -are available as well as a five-year credit agreement with the Bank Of and nine participating Florida banks for a line of credit up to $50-million. Financing for EPCOT has not been ar-(; ranged, Admiral Fowler told The Times. Fourteen air conditioned buses carried newsmen and'' other guests on a two and one-half hour tour of the 43- a square-mile site twice the 3 size of Manhattan Island, about the same size as the city of San Francisco, and 21 times larger than Disneyland, World." ASKED WHEN the public would be able to buy lots or homes in Walt Disney World, Tatum said peripheral areas not presently owned by Disney would be developed for residential use, but he did not know when.

(Previously, it has been stressed that EPCOT will be a proving grounds for urban innovations, a sort of glorified "company town" available only to Walt Disney World employes.) i To finance the first phase, Tatum noted the proceeds from the sale of two bond issues S40-million four and one half per cent convertible subordinated debentures General Tire and Rubber's board chairman1 Thomas F. O'Neill the new system, using underground pneumatic, tubes, will be the first of Its kind in the United States and will provide, a prototype for use by communities in overcoming the impending threat of inundation by their own trash. Edward J. Bock, president and chief executive officer of the Monsanto a chemical firm long associated with Disneyland, said his company is committed to "working with people in the Disney organization who are seeking exciting new concepts for the systems, structures, products, and services of Walt Disney from Latin America and Europe who come to Miami won't continue on up there; they'll go to Walt Disney World instead." ON OPENING day and through the first year Tatum said the project would employ 5,500 people with an anticipated annual payroll of $20-million. The estimate of 6-million visitors for the first year made at the time of the original announcement i February 1966 has been raised to8-milllon.

No delays in construction due to labor problems are expected thanks to a three-year contract between Allen Contracting general contractor aslo for California's Disneyland, and 17 individual international unions calling for a binding arbitration system. Asked how the unions would take to the announced plans for building a 750-unit convention hotel of unitized steel via modulized construction as disclosed by U.S. Steel board chairman Edwin H. Gott, Tatum said, "This has been explained to the unions. They have said since the modular units are assembled on the site, there'll be no problems." THE 10-STORY Contemporary Hotel will be one of two to open on the first day.

The other will be a 12-story 700-room Polynesian Hotel, information required anywhere in Walt Disney World on an immeidate and continuous basis. "Looking ahead, the total system is expected to contribute to basic improvement in education, health, safety, utility operations, municipal government, transportation and recreation. Over the full life of the program there will evolve for citizens of EPCOT a vivid picture of what electronics can do for life in the 21st century." Aerojet-General Corp. a subsidiary of General Tire and Rubber, has designed an automated trash collection and removal system for Walt Disney World. According to also to be built by U.S.

Steel. Later on, a 600-room Asian-Theme Resort, a 500-Room Persian Theme Resort and a 500-room Venetian-Theme Resort, with facilities for water sports and golf, will be built. Chase Morsey executive vice president of RCA's Oper-at ions Division, disclosed plans for development of a computer-based totally integrated communications system who's focal point would be a communications center as an attraction of Tomorrow-land. Describing the concept, Morsey said, "Our plans involve an unprecedented network capable of gathering, processing, communicating and displaying any types of ft in June, Fowler said. A similar shop for fiberglass con struction is also scheduled.

Asked if Miami Beach would suffer a loss of convention business as a result of competition from Walt Disney World, Tatum said, "I have a Macy-and-Glmbels theory about this. Walt Disney World will be another contributing factor in bringing more people to Florida. We'll help each other." From the audience, Gov. Claude Kirk interjected, "The only place that will lose will be New York City. The people Nixon Opportunity set out to cata-logue the number of government assistance programs several years ago, a book of over 600 pages was required.

"IT IS AN almost universal complaint of local officials," Nixon said, "that the web of government programs has grown so tangled that it often becomes impermeable.

At issue is the question of how the government can best help solve social problems on the state and local level. Some congressmen believe the appropriate response to a specific problem is to devise a specific program which requires local communities to vacy," said Sen. Robert Shevin, D-Miami, shepherding the wiretap bill "But nobody has the right of privacy to use the telephone in his own home to conspire to commit murder." It is primarily aimed, he said, at the $3-billion a year organized crime industry which relies heavily on telephone communications.

"It has all the safeguards," he added. "You have to prove the information cannot be obtained any other way before wiretapping is authorized." THE SENATE followed the. example of the House in rejecting by overwhelming voice vote an amendment that would have permitted 'emergency' wiretaps for up to 48 hours without court order. Louis de la Parte, D-Tampa, battled the amendment, stating that eventually every situation would be la-, beled an "emergency" by law officers and they would use the emergency provision all the time. "Big brother is going to be listening with this wiretapping bill" if the emergency amendment holds, De la Parte said.

"The next thing we'll have big brother watching on television where someone thinks a law of Florida is going to be violated," he said. nns is tiii ran plaza mn fcfttm PA) ny, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, to carry a concealed firearm and a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine to conceal a billie, sling shot or brass knuckles on your person without a permit. Mace and tear gas guns were exempted on a plea that women need them to guard against muggers. "This, with the 'stop and frisk' law, if it passes, gives the police and the courts the tools to stop a lot of criminal activity before it begins," said Sen. Robert Shevin, D-Miami, the sponsor of most Senate anti-crime legislation this year.

The House vote was 61-47, against reconsidering the favorable abortion bill vote. THE HOUSE voted 97-5 for a bill banning sale or rental to juveniles of printed pornography and sent it to the House. An exact duplicate of a New York state law which has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, the measure uses explicit language to describe the type of pornography prohibited.

Others maintain the "categorical" grant-in-aid approach destroys initiative, financial flexibility and administrative creativity on the local level. These are the advocates of the "block grant" approach, under which cities would be given large lump sums of money with no strings attached. NIXON, IN his message, seemed to strike a middle course, urging that individual categorical programs be grouped under broad categories a gesture towards the block grant enthusiasts while, at the same time, assuring Congress he would only exercise this authority "within carefully defined limits." For example, he said, only programs "in closely related functional areas could be consolidated;" no program "grpup" emerging from the reorganization could provide aid to persons not already eligible under at lesat one of the original programs, i MOREOVER, the President said, he would do everything possible to maintain the character of the individual programs even as they were being, merged into broad categories. The act would require the President to submit any proposed reorganization to Congress, and would give either the Senate or House the right to veto the proposed reorganization within 60 days after its submission to Congress, MID CITY PAR 3 GOLF COURSE DRIVING RANGE Rtntal Clubt Flntit Turf In Tkt Arta In "Heart" of City 3001 13th Ave.
