August A. Busch president and chairman of the firm, made the announcement during a preview of "Boma," a new $1 million small animal attraction at the gardens here. He was accompanied on a tour of the facilities by Gov. Claude Kirk and other officials. He said a $2.6 million expan mil Legislature sion of the gardens will be started immediately and "I am thinking in terms of spending another $10 million over the next eight years on other additions at Tampa." Piiflp Ouf of his mind I have decided to slip away for another little vacation next week, my second one of the year.

I get three weeks altogether, except I can't take them all together. Well, I could, but the company credit union gets nervous when I'm gone for a long time. Being a neat sort of person, I always like to leave things orderly when I go away, so today I've been cleaning out my mind, and here are a few old column ideas I found among the clutter: EVER SINCE the quick-energy beverage, Gator Ade, hit the market, there's been a rush by competitors to get in on the action, and new limitations are popping up all the time. While watching a TV commercial for one of these products the other night, it occurred to me that everyone seems concerned with cornering the youth market, and huge segments of the population are being ignored in the rush. Consequently, when I return from vacation, I plan to introduce my own new beverage Middle Ade.

It's a low energy drink for middle-aged people, that gives us just enough pep to crawl to the sofa after Sunday dinner and watch a football doubleheader on television. (If that's a success, I'll follow it up with Old Ade, a special formula of citrus juice spiked with just enough caffein to keep Lawrence Welk fans awake during the show on Saturday night.) A RHODE ISLAND man has formed a cor-portion called "Rhode Island Silent Majority the purpose of which is to provide speakers on behalf of the so-called silent majority. The founder said he felt it's about time somemody broke the silence. "We are not heard from, and we ought to be," he commented. I wonder who his first speaker will be Marcel Marceau? U.S.

AIRLINE officials reportedly still aren't sold on the virtues of the controversial supersonic transports now under development here and in France and Russia. The French SST, the Concorde, has the best chance to be the first in commercial use', but a Pan Am spokesman says he's worried that passengers won't like going back to the narrow, tube-like Concorde after riding the spacious new Boeing 747s. On the other hand, the Concorde will be twice as fast as the 707. The logical answer would seem to be using both airplanes. Put the passengers on the 707, and the luggage on the Concorde, and maybe they'd all get there together for a change.

FINALLY, I SEE where four California science students plan to spend their three-month summer vacation in isolation, living off recycled water and oxygen in a simulated space station. If you think that sounds grim, I'm getting ready to spend my week off with my family in a motel room at the beach during the rainy season. I'll see you in a week, if I survive re-entry.

Claude Kirk plans to do with the $1,278 billion state spending bill. Kirk asked the legislature yesterday to rush the spending bill to him before the legislature adjourns today amid speculation that he would veto all or part of it because of his unhappiness with the $914 million education appropriation. Kirk has gone on record as being opposed to laying out vast sums toward education in the state without a complete restructuring of the educational system to make school administrators appointive rather than elective. HOUSE SPEAKER Fred Schultz said there is "practically no chance" of getting the bill to Kirk before the scheduled 5 p.m.

adjournment time. Kirk has scheduled a "people-to-people" meeting in Tampa today and a tour of the Busch Gardens. But he was reported ready to fly back at once if the bill reaches his desk. Bill would halt rollback BUSCH SAID the move would commercially diversify the company into the outdoor attractions field through the recreational facilities it now maintains as part of the plant tour program here. Noting that Anheuser-Busch, through its plant tour program, already ranks second only to Disney in attendance among the nation's outdoor attractions, Busch said, "We will no longer be able to accommodate the tremendous crowds that visit our attractions without greatly expanding the scope and size of our facilities at considerable cost to the shareholders.

Richard J. Bender, vice president of corporate affairs for Busch, said much of the work undertaken in Tampa will be the enlarging and streamlining of existing facilities. "AMONG THE improvements include construction of a amphitheater and converting a smaller amphitheater for animal shows and movies," Bender added. Busch said the expansion would also call for a general admission charge for the attractions that heretofore have been largely free. He added that the move seemed necessary since the cost of expansion would be See BUSCH, page 17-A Jobless rate climbs again WASHINGTON (UPI) The nation's jobless rate rose in May to 5 per cent of the work force, the government reported today.

The seasonally adjusted unemployment count was estimated at 4.1 million, highest level since January, 1964. This was the fifth consecutive month that the unemployment rate has included counties in the bill to make the millage ceiling effective throughout Florida on Jan. 1, 1972. The amendment tactic was resorted to after Hillsborough legislatures were unsuccessful in efforts to persuade the house ad valorem tax committee to release a bill delaying the rollback. The committee was intent on killing the bill and allowing the rollback to go into effect this coming budget year, according Rep.

Richard Hodes, who supported Danahy's amendment. By LOWELL LANGFORD Times Staff Writer TALLAHASSEE A bill delaying the millage rollback for all of Florida's cities and counties until Jan. 1, 1972 was in Gov. Claude Kirk's office today awaiting final action. The bill was approved by both the house and senate yesterday and sent to the governor's office today.

The rollback delay, if approved by Kirk, will eliminate possible fiscal crises for Tampa and Hillsborough County, which would have lost a combined total of nearly $10 County, city officials elated over rollback delay clearing legislature, page 2-B million in operating funds of the millage cap were enforced this year.
