Creal Funeral Home, is in charge of arrangements. Alleged Sicilian 'godfather' Giuseppe Genco Russo, 80, reportedly one of the last big godfathers of the Sicilian Mafia, died in his native Mussomeli Thursday. Half blind from cataracts and broken in health, Genco Russo had spent the past four years quietly in his son's home. His troubles with the law spanned most of his life, including trials and exile. But he spent only a few years in jail because most of his trials ended with the judges saying they lacked specific evidence of criminal charges against him.

In the main trial he underwent in the 1960s he was accused with 17 other Mafia suspects of running the Sicilian end of a drug smuggling line to the United States. But the court dropped and sentenced him to three years in jail on the broad count of criminal association. Sicilians said he had gradually estranged himself from the Mafia underworld partly because he rejected some techniques of the new Mafia. Jack Palmer, songwriter Songwriter Jack Palmer whose most popular tunes included "Everybody Loves My Baby," "Jumping Jive," and "Just Another Love Affair," died Wednesday in Woodbury, after a brief illness. Mr.

Palmer's name never became a household word, but his songs have been whistled and hummed by two generations since he wrote his first folk tune "Silver Dollar" in 1920. "Silver Dollar" made a recent comeback in a commercial for a pancake syrup. Norbert Fryd, Czech author The death of Czech writer Norbert Fryd, 63, who described his experiences in the Nazi concentration on camps of Auschwitz, Dachau and Terezin, was reported Thursday in Prague. No cause or date of death were made known. A former member of the Pen Club presidium and a member of the Czechoslovak Writers Union central committee, Mr.

Fryd told of concentration camp life in the novel "'The Box of Living," which was translated into several languages. A journalist, he was also known for his books on Mexico and Latin America.

Sat. 9 to Noon Sat. 8:30 to Noon PHONE 391-9911 Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. JACKSONVILLE A 14-year-old boy with braces on his teeth bought piles of allegedly pornographic material at stores in Jacksonville. He did it with his parents' approval and the help of police.

It was all part of a raid. As the result of the boy's undercover work Wednesday, 12 men were charged with possessing or distributing pornographic material. "We found a concerned citizen who was willing to allow his son to be subjected to seeing such material," said Sgt. James Pfeiffer. He refused to identify the boy.

"All of the stores he tried had signs saying that no minor under 18 years of age is allowed to enter or purchase such material," the officer said. "In one store he was asked how old he was and when he said he was 14, the salesman said, 'Well, I'm not supposed to do this and then sold him the material." Peiffer said an undercover agent an adult was in each store for the youth's visits and that one of the boy's parents was in the immediate area. The arrests were made immediately after the purchases. It wasn't the first time police here have used teenagers to make such purchases, Pfeiffer said. He said teenagers are used because it results in more serious charges against shop owners and operators.

"Many people feel there is nothing wrong with such material unless it gets into the hands of the kids," he said. "We know they're selling it to minors and this proves it." Prosecutor pushes FBI for evidence ORLANDO State Atty. Robert Eagan, worried about an approaching trial deadline, will travel to Washington Friday to try to hurry an FBI analysis of evidence in the quadruple murder case against furniture-store owner W. T. Zeigler.

Eagan voiced concern about delays in receiving "very important" ballistic test results on weapons recovered from the scene of the bloody Christmas Eve murders of Zeigler's wife, in-laws and a customer at his Winter Garden store. Eagan's concern centers on the state's speedy-trial law which requires that a defendant be prosecuted within 180 days of his arrest. Zeigler was arrested on Dec. 29 on four murder charges, giving Eagan only a little more than two months in which to prosecute him. Couple rescued after 4 days adrift FERNANDINA BEACH Their food and water gone and their 14-foot boat on the verge of sinking, a man and his wife were rescued after four days adrift in the Atlantic Ocean, officials said Thursday.

Albert Berry Tucker, 59, and his wife Phoebe, 62, of Brevard, N.C., were rescued Wednesday about 5 miles offshore near the GeorgiaFlorida border. Tucker released from a hospital in Brunswick, where he had been under observation. Mrs. Tucker was released after an examination. They went fishing Saturday with only a one day supply of food and drinks.

The boat's motor was damaged when they hit an underwater object and they could not get back to shore. No one realized they were missing until Tuesday, when the Coast Guard began a search. When a line of thundershowers passed over Tuesday, Mrs. Tucker said, they were able to catch rain to quench their thirst. A Coast Guard helicopter spotted them at dusk Wednesday.

Authorities said that as the two were hoisted into the helicopter, their boat sank. "WITH REGARD TO A CARD OF THANKS" Very often a card of thanks in the St. Petersburg Times and Independent meeis a need which can hardly be solved in any other way. Not only is it a gracious expression of gratitude to those who have sent floral tributes or memorials but courteously acknowledges the services and kindness of the many to whom a personal note of thanks cannot be mailed or whose names and addresses are not known. A card of thanks may be arranged by calling Mr.
