He predicted the dic tator of his native country will fall this year. By REX NEWMAN Times Staff Writer County commissioners voted today to call for bids on the new county jail with two alternatives in the bids. Commissioners all seemed to acree that there is little hope they will accept the initially cheaper scheme, which would "Any of my countrymen who have any ability or ambition cannot accept the regime theme SAW NEW ORLEANS FACILITY I was there in February and Councilman Urges Study of Free Port a three-story jail administration building in the form of a It also provides for a control building for the cell block wings.

The jail administration building will be built to accommodate the master plan for the jail, which will eventually be expanded to house nearly 1,000 prisoners. Today's action culminated more than two years of study and preparation by the commission on the subject of a new county jail, which will be constructed on a two-plus block area on and adjacent to the existing jail structure. Shoal Removal In other action, commissioners heard an official objection by resolution from the City of Temple Terrace to County Engineer R. T. (Bob) Gupton's proposal to remove a shoal in the river at the Fowler Avenue Bridge.

my medical colleagues were telling me of their discontent," he explained. "Now most of them are in this country. Any Cuban with a brain cannot stand for what is going on there. "I like this country and I can make a living here." The Cuban people are still friendly to the United States despite Castro's propaganda, said Dr. Angel Alonso.

"The people back there like this country very much. They cannot accept communism," he cost approximately $2 million and retain the present four-story cell block and rehabilitate it and construct a single new cell block wing. They all favored the initially more expensive plan, which would do away with the four-story cell block except in case of an emergency and build two cell wings at the outset. However, the alternative was put in the bid in an attempt to get contractors to give a better bid on the all-new jail, which is estimated to cost $2,269,000. Putting the other alternative in the bid will cost commissioners an additional $6,000 for architects plans.

The firm of McLane and Ranoii is making the drawings. Commissioners feel the all-new jail will be cheaper in the long run because of savings in personnel and maintenance costs on the old structure. Detailed Plans The architects are now authorized to prepare the detailed plans for the jail with specifications on which the bids will be based. Kennedy (Continued from Tage 1) fiscal year starting next July 1 and $1,6 billion annually for the following four years. The loans would run up to 50 years, at no interest or at low rates of perhaps up to 2 per cent, and would be repayable in dollars.

Kennedy saw long-term authority, rather than the present year-by-year appropriations system, as the core of his plan, to tackle foreign economic problems which he said roquire long-range solutions. "A program based on long-range plans instead of short-run crises cannot be financed on a short-term basis," he said. 3. Arms aid, now running about $2 billion a year and administered through the Pentagon, would be separated from the annual foreign aid package and placed in the military budget. Special Favor 4.

Carefully tailored programs for each country receiving aid, based on over-all needs and local resources rather than unrelated projects, with special favor toward those nations undertaking social and economic reforms. 5. Emphasizing loans repayable in dollars, doing away with most of the loans repayable in local foreign currencies now handed out by the DLF. 6. Encouraging other industrial nations to share more of the aid burden.

For the fiscal year beginning July 1, Kennedy said that while he would stick with Eisenhower's $4 billion spending request he would shift "sharply" the use of the funds, including transferring $200 million from military to economic aid. County Buying Group To Meet On Proposals A special committee studying county purchasing practices will hold a meeting next Friday at 10 a.m. in the county commission board room to hear final recommendations for improving county purchasing practices. Russell Bogue, chairman of the group and members of the Budget Commission, announced the meeting today. Miller McLeod, purchasing agent and members of the committee, will make his final recommendations concerning purchasing through his office.

The report will concentrate on purchasing of janitorial supplies. A series of Times articles revealing uneconomical purchasing practices in the janitorial supply field prompted the creation of the committee a year ago. McLeod's recommendations, if adopted as presented or if altered, will be presented to county commissioners for their consideration. Others on the committee are Commissioner Rudy Rodriguez and County Atty. William Mc- City Councilman Fletcher Stribling, back from a two-day inspection of New Orleans' free port, said today he was "very "But it also is my opinion that it would be a losing proposition for a number of years, even if we could find an interior market." Stribling said that the interior market capability apparently is important to the success of such a venture.

Parking Lots Busy The city's new downtown parking lots were reported by Parking Commission Chairman Harry Orr today to be proving more popular than had been anticipated. The lots opened a week ago. Orr said, "They're doing quite well, especially the ones on Whiting Street, which have been full on a number of occasions. "The other one (on Tampa Street) is deevloping a little more slowly, but is increasing its business every day.

I think they'll pay out, probably faster than we had planned." Orr said his own personal check with private parking operators in the immediate vicinity indicated they have not lost customers to the city lots. He said, "This shows that a need did exist for the added parking in the area." Fleming Arrested A 73-year-old Sun City man was released under recognizance of Judge Bob Johnson today after being arrested at Lafayette and Pierce streets and charged with profanity. Police identified the man as J. T. Fleming, a Sun City developer and frequent battler with the county commission.

Patrolman Tony Lemus said that he saw Fleming cross the intersection against the traffic light and went over to warn him that it was dangerous." Lemus said that Fleming then began to curse him and tell him to get away. Son Beater Fined A 36-year-old Tampa man was sentenced to $100 fine or 50 days in jail today after pleading guilty in city court to a charge of assault and battery against his 10-year-old son. Harry Cannon, 4507 W. Virginia paid the fine imposed by Judge Bob Johnson. Judge Johnson found Cannon and his wife, Bea, 34, innocent of a second charge involving the couple's depriving minors of proper treatment.

Cannon told the court that he whipped his son with a broomstick on March 10 after discovering that the boy had been absent from school for seven days. The charge of depriving minors arose after the police received complaints that the Cannons had failed to properly supervise their children, and had left them alone. Cannon told Johnson that a neighbor was watching the children in their absence.

Then, they learned that there is no "Easter Park" and that the plaque cannot be permanently placed in cement on the Bayshore, as intended. Dr. W.

M. Rowlett, chairman of the City Parks Board, explained: "It has lonsr been the custom of the parks board to keep monuments and memorials off the Bayshore. "While I was out of the city once, they put up the Columbus Memorial, at the head of Bayshore. and were fixing to put up six more monuments. No More Monuments "So we drew up rules that no more monuments will be put up on Bayshore." Dr.

Rowlett said that he believes there are "other more suitable places' for the Du- pree plaque, and added, "The parks board will always be ready to assist in any way it can to help beautify such spot as may be found." Earlier, Parks Supt. Frank Neff had explained to crippled children association leaders that if an Easter Park should be designated on the Bayshore, other similar organizations would also request special portions. The association for crippled children recalled that it planted a tree in the section in question two years ago, and It was publicized at that time as Easter Seal Park.

The flights would operate six days a week between Miami and Mexico, with a Tampa stop on one of those days. A spokesman in Miami for PAA said the line plans to begin the service with 121-passenger jet clippers. No firm schedule has been drawn up, he said, pending a final ruling.

"PAA is prepared to give Tampa all the additional service it needs." the spokesman said, "daily if necessary." The air line expects to haul 2.000 passeneers annually from Tampa to Mexico. But he asserted that when it comes to annexation of Port Tampa or not, "It's up to the legislature as to what action is taken." Asked specifically whether, in view of the facts that have been marshaled in the case, he favors or opposes an annexation by Tampa of the city of Port Tampa, Lane said he would "evade" that question. He said the report deals with what the possibilities are in provision of the services: "What we could do, when we could do it, and how we could do it."

Both clinics are helped by high school students and adults taking a dental assistant's training course at Brewster who benefit from on-the- the United States to have all local cleft palate teams organized at the state level.

"Our aim," he says, "is to get a child with speech problems associated with cleft palate or harelip, talking as normal as possible before entering school to avoid further job experience. Making up the cleft palate team are a plastic surgeon, oral surgeon, prosthrodontist (speech appliances consultant), orthodontist (specialist in straightening teeth), general dentist, radiologist, speech therapist, child dental specialist, pediatrician and social worker.

A fee of 10 dollars is charged for a patient's evaluation by the team which also plans a sequence of treatment and rapid solving of the problem.
