Welborn Daniel of Clermont said yesterday he would ask for a recount. His protest of the count in Tuesday's Democratic primary in the coast-to-coast senate district came on the heels of a brief request for a recount by Boyd himself. Boyd told officials in Dade City he believed one machine there credited him with 98 votes, but that official results certified only 78 votes by his name. But he withdrew the request through a Leesburg attorney, and Daniel said he precincts. He said the ballot was "confused" as a result of reapportionment.

However, the county's vote total was certified 90 minutes before Daniel's protest was filed, and the canvassing board adjourned. County Judge William H. Seaver, chairman of the board, is to meet with McClain this morning to discuss the validity of the move. "The margin is 63 votes," said Daniel, "less than one-tenth of 1 per cent of the vote cast. "The possibility of human error makes it almost imperative that the recount be conducted, whether on his (Boyd's) request or my request.

Daniel said he would file the requests in all of the 11 counties ranging from Volusia on the east coast to Pasco on Snow 'WW -v hjuns Show Hujli Trmpriof COIO Flurms i i rH But only 212 persons were tallied on the public counter, which totals the number of persons using the machine. Miss Pasteur said it is possible the Daniel counter may not have been entirely cleared when the machine was set up for the election. "Sometimes it's hard to see the number at the left-hand edge of the counter and it may have gotten by the inspectors Tuesday morning," she said. Sh? added that "even Billy Mayo (candidate for the Public Service Commission) got only 119 votes in Summerfield and that's his home area. I don't see how a man from another county would have gotten more." Other counties in the district are Seminole, St.

Johns, Osceola, Citrus, Flagler, Sumter and Hernando. The race was for a seat created by latest reapportionment. Daniel holds a senate seat formerly held by Boyd and now eliminated by reapportionment. Boyd served two terms in the senate and was previously in the house.

Cully, head keeper Ronzell Shepard, and a large crew of assistants spent six hours Wednesday trying to get Jiffy into the box with harsher methods. They beat on her thick hide, they sprayed her with a hose and they kicked a little. Jiffy sweated a little, but otherwise was indifferent. "The trouble is there is no place to hang onto her to pull," said Cully. "When they lay down, what are you going to do?" For all her indifference, Cully is afraid to go too far.

"When we got done, she was shaking and sweating and we were afraid she would die on us," he said. "We worked so hard that two of my men are off sick today." KANSAS CITY iff) First they threw in some grain. Jiffy just stared. Then some hay. Jiffy closed her eyes and yawned.

Then marshmallows. Jiffy snorted. Jiffy is 4,600 pounds of stubborn hippopotamus. The Kansas City Zoo has sold her to Topeka, for a new mammal house. The way to get her there is in a crate.

The problem is how to get her into the crate. "She just doesn't want to leave," sighed Zoo Director William T. A. Cully. "But she'll get hungry.

Sooner or later, she'll get hungry." Since Jiffy normally eats a 75-pound meal once a day, the hunger when it comes should be an enormous one. Jiffy last ate at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The Westinghouse research was supported in part by the Geophysics Branch of the Office of Naval Research. Details of the research were published yesterday in the Journal of Geophysical Research in a paper titled "A Theory of Ball Lightning." Although lightning strokes apparently give it birth, ball lightning is not at all like the short, brilliant, jagged flashes so familiar to everyone. The mathematical theory of ball lightning advanced by Drs. Uman and Helstrom describes it as a luminous, high-temperature region of air having high electrical conductivity. The heating occurs when direct currents of electricity funnel through a particular region between the storm clouds and the ground, making the air In that region hot enough to glow.

James, 45, pleaded guilty yes-1 terday to charges of bank robbery, attempted bank robbery, post office robberies and money order thefts and was sentenced to 75 years in prison. U.S.

District Court Judge Robert Elliott sentenced Jesse James Roberts to 25 years for bank robbery; 20 years on count of attempted bank robbery; two counts of five years each of robbing post offices and four counts of five years each on theft of postal money orders. The sentences were to run consecutively. Roberts, whose appearance has been described as "deceptively gentle has also been charged with the $34,144 robbery of a Quapaw, Okla. bank last December.

She said she did, but didn't remember when. Pacht showed her a faded newspaper clipping dated Feb. 13, 1924, containing an announcement of the marriage.

"Yes," replied the witness. a severe thunderstorm, a glowing ball of fire came down the chimney, dropped at her feet and danced about the kitchen floor. Snapping at her heels, it reportedly chased her into the next room, crossed it, and sMpped outside through an open door. It floated around the yard, entered a barn through a doorway, climbed up a wall and exploded with shattering force. Did it all actually happen? Or was it a figment of her imagination? Was the fireball real? Or only an optical illusion? Two scientists at the West-inghouse Research Laboratories have added to the growing evidence that ball lightning does, in fact, exist.

Aided by an electronic computer, Drs. Martin A. Uman of Tampa and C. W. Helstrom have LOS ANGELES Actress Corinne Griffith testified at her contested divorce trial yesterday and promptly got into a dispute about her age.

And she said she isn't the silent screen star who began making films back in 1918. That would make her 71 years old, according to newspaper clippings, which gave no indication there are two actresses of the same name. The Motion Picture Almanac lists Corinne Griffith's age as 66. Miss Griffith told the court she is "approximately 51." "I don't know my age," she testified yesterday. "I don't give my age because it's part of my religion." She said she hadn't kept a record of her age since she was 13.

Miss Griffith is seeking a divorce or annulment of her marriage to Actor Danny Scholl, 44, on grounds the marriage was never consummated. She said the marriage lasted 33 days. He says it lasted 40 days. Scholl is counter suing charging cruelty and requesting $960 monthly alimony. He says he has been disabled by severa1 brain operations.

The age dispute arose when Scholl's attorney, Rudolph Pacht, sought to establish that Miss Griffith falsified her age and prior marriages when she married Scholl Feb. 14, 1965, in Alexandria, Va.

But "If the bill were passed as written," Adams said, "Congress would be abrogating its basic role in the determina tion of this nation's transportation policies. Therefore, modification of the legislation is imperative. This modification should give the secretary of transportation the responsibility to develop recommended standards and criteria for federal investments in transportation facilities. But it should require that these standards and-criteria be consistent with the national transportation philosophy and policy as promulgated by Congress."
