Every representative wants at least a junior college, and, to he outstanding, should get a four-year college for his county, Baughman said. "I appreciate the economics and opportunities that are afforded by the junior colleges, but Florida will never gain greatness on this point, and the opportunity you seek for your youth will not be found in this state," he said. Talent Leaves Talent leaves the South board chairmen or presidents of 12 of 15 of the largest New York City banks are southerners by birth, he avowed, saying the same situation exists in other industries.

"This is a real indictment of a state that can be the pivotal state of a quarter of a great nation," he said. Stanford University, which grew up in the wilds of California, now is surrounded by 270 industries with their re search centers, and the same phenomenon exists in the area of Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Florida was due a National Aeronautics and Space Administration facility because of division of political support, but it went to Texas to be near Rice University, he avowed. Stresses Quality The Florida Council of 100 stresses education, but never quality education: "Numbers alone are not going to do this. When you go to a racetrack.

the payoff is on number one," he said. Just as an inch can make the difference between a- winner and an also-ran, a few dollars of faculty salaries can make a difference between great and mediocre colleges, he said. After looking at sites in 24 states, Sarasota was selected as the site of New College because the area is America's last new frontier. It was about time a really great private institution, unfettered by the Johns commit tee or political support, was founded in Florida. If it is less than the best, we are lost," he contended.

Two of the five Florida students in New College's first class are from this area, he said. The 50 to 100 students were selected from 1,500 applicants, he told the club. The tuition is $3,900 a year, and is a package deal of room, board and tuition. Students can't pay just tuition and arrange their own living accommoda tions, he told The Tribune later, insisting the cultural environment is worth the price. About 80 per cent of the students have scholarships, and no student is ever turned away because of Uck of money, he assured.

Stolen Safe Was Empty SARASOTA (By Staff Writer) Two Negro men have been charged with breaking into the Savoy Bar on Central Avenue here last Saturday morning and carting away the cash register. The register, however, was empty.

All six prisoners were recaptured about 30 minutes after they jumped the jailer, took his keys and fled out a little-used side door in the jail. Manatee County sheriff's deputies, officers from the Braden-ton and Palmetto police departments and highway patrol troopers surrounded Point Pleasant, a residential section near the downtown area. By shortly after 8 p.m. they had recaptured: Billy Joe Nix, 20, held on a charge of breaking and entering and escape; David Harrington, 25, charged with auto theft and escape; Thomas Little, 25, breaking and entering and escape; John G.

Rodgers, 17, charged with rape; Elton L. Wilberg, 19, charged with breaking and entering; and Harold Splitt, 17, charged with rape. Now all six face an addition charge of escape which carries a maximum 10-year sentence, according to sheriff's department officials. Harrington, Little and Nix had broken out of the Brooks-ville state road camp several weeks ago. They were captured locally and were to be trans ferred back to state facilities yesterday.

Examiner Resigns SARASOTA (By Staff Writ er) The resignation of Harry F. Kelly, a member of the county's building contractor's examining board since it was organized In 1957, was accepted by county commissioners here yesterday. The board simultaneously ap pointed E. E. Simmons to fill out the unexpected portion of Kelly's term on the board.

It ends in July, 1965. The commission also reviewed an application to the State Board of Conservation for funds for both the acquisition of new county recreation areas and the development of older ones.

AN INTERESTING in fact, fascinating news release ap peared last week. It is from the Treasury Department's Bureau of Customs and deals with the $10 gift parcel privilege. In listing the privilege, the release says they include falsely labeling the par cels, under-valuing the contents, splitting-up a shipment (like a set of dishes) and here is the statement which makes the release memorable: "Including prohibited mer chandise in the shipments, for example, Communist Chinese." Now, we know very little, ac tually, about the Communist Chinese but we are reasonably sure that they are seldom considered merchandise even in Shanghai.

We are not, necessarily, against the idea. Just ship them as merchandise somewhere else, please. Of course, we know what the government writer means and so do you. So, presumably, did the GS-7 who wrote the thing, the GS-9 who approved it and the GS-12 who initialed it.

The three main problems are: Lack of an electronic shucker, need of a mechanical harvester and more markets. "'We have a problem in labor," Mrs. Cortes explained. "There are not many shuckers left! and we would like to know if there is any talent here." New Process Because the cultivation of oysters here is a new process, no mechanical harvesters or dredges are available. The dredges from northern waters cannot navigate in the local shallow bays.

Station hers will By BERNIE McGOVERN Tribune Television Editor Florida West Coast Television Inc. and the University of South Florida proposed yesterday to the Florida Educational Television Commission a joint venture that would enable the expansion of an existing educational television station and would place a new ETV station on the air.

The venture could bring educational television to 127,000 new viewers and bring better ETV reception quality to viewers and schools in the Tampa Bay area. The Florida ETV commission met yesterday at USF to take care of usual business and to hear the proposal that was said to be unique in educational television. Florida West Coast Television Inc. is a non-profit, community-owned company operating WEDU, Channel 3 in Tampa-St. Petersburg.

The university is a hopeful applicant for a new television station. The proposal centers around effort to erect a joint-use trans mission tower to bring better ETV to more people. Giving the presentation to the commission, LeRoy Liftinger, general manager of WEDp, pre sented facts and figures to secure the help of the commission in the operation planned by WEDU and USF. The venture would have the three organizations apply for grants under the Educational Television Facilities Act admin istered by the Federal Depart ment of Health, Education and Welfare. The grants would be used for one single purpose, The cooperative venture has already aroused the Interest of the federal department to the point where the agency is said to have unofficially told the groups that it would help in the planning of the grant applications.

USF and WEDU have been working on the plan and presented it yesterday to the commission during its morning ses sion at the university. Under the plan, the three or ganizations would cooperate in approaching the Department of HEW for grants to erect a transmission tower which would serve both WEDU and the uni versity. WEDU is presently broadcasting in-school lessons to students in seven county school systems. In addition it telecasts, from studios in Tampa and St. Pe tersburg, informational and cul tural programs.

It is affiliated with the National Educational Television Network. USF operates a fully equipped television station that operates on a closed-circuit basis on the campus. The university is an ap plicant for Channel 22 as an eon? cational station. The channel is now allocated for educational use in Lakeland. The Florida ETV commission has petitioned the Federal Con munications Commission for a reallocation of the channel to Tampa so that it might be utilized by USF.

The channel, if moved to Tampa, will still serve Lakeland. Outlining the cost of the joint-use tower project to the commission, Lastinger cited a figure of $89,492 as the projected expense to the commission should it joi in the venture. The proposal to the commission was made with the assumption by Channel 3 and USF that land for the tower and transmission building would be donated to the project by the commission and that the commission would stand the cost of construction. The total cost of the joint tower project, according to Lastinger, would be $791,610, not Including the land or structures. The commission recently re- federal ETV grant funds.

The grant would still leave $271,198 needed by the groups to complete the project. Dr. Gerhard Eichholz, director of USF's Division of Educational Resources, which includes the university's television operation, told the committee the university has more than on hand to use on its television operation, If the money is not used for the joint tower project, it will be used elsewhere within the university. The remaining amount needed, along with construction costs, would, under the plan, be provided by the ETV commission. It would total about $89,000.

Dr. Eichholz stated that nei ther the university, WEDU or the commission could undertake the project alone at the present time. The commission approved proceeding with joint studies of the project for the purpose of proposing an informal application to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The commission would not, however, commit itself to allocating funds for the project. The commission will decide on its course of action after a proposal is drafted and informal ly submitted to HEW for opin ion.

In other action yesterday, the commission advised the USF that the commission's broadcast lawyers, representing it before the FCC, have advised the ETV group that the Channel 22 ques tion remains undecided. How ever, the application for a con struction permit for the station has not been turned down.

Uncle Sam, bless his little old heart, is also ready to be of any help he can. (And why not?) If you live in Tampa or can get here by mid afternoon, you may ankle over to the Infernal Reve nue Service office at 309 Water Street and the experts there will give you a hand though they cannot make out your return for you. They can just tell you what to do and, if you do as they say, the chances are good there will be no repercussion if and when your return is audited All this is presupposing, of course, that you tell the truth If you dont tell the truth, there's no telling how much difficulty you'll get into. And you can hardly console yourself with the realization that, by paying your 1962 Income tax, you helped finance your prosecution this year. This is just the democratic way of doing things.

Incidentally, everyone within traveling distance of Tampa can use the IRS office at 309 Water St. for turning in returns, instead of mailing them.
