Burch Sees Profanity On TV News As Problem WASHINGTON (UPI) Scattered profanity in news reports in posing just as many problems for broadcasters as sexy scenes on television, Chairman Dean Burch of the Federal Communications Commission said yesterday. "Obscenity is not the question we have any more," Burch told a meeting of broadcasters. "What we're really talking about is decency and indencency." SAID that because the Supreme Court has classed obscenity as material that appeals to purient interest some things may not be technically obscene and yet may be objectionable to listeners and viewers. "I could stand here and say every dirty word I know and I doubt anybody would be sexually aroused by it. But you might be offended." At a session with state presidents of the National Association of Broadcasters, Burch admitted the obscenity-decency problem "is very tough" especially in live news coverage where ear-burning language occasionally crops up.

"A five-year-old child probably wouldn't be hurt by whatever he might hear, but his parents might be very offended by what you're exposing their child to," he said. "BUT THIS isn't obscenity, You can't arouse purient interest in a five-year-old child." Burch said he was "not offended at all" by hearing "Goddam" on the air, but SATURDAY!

TEL. 223-4611 Patient Sues Chiropractor A Tampa chiropractor was charged in a suit field Thursday with "carelessness and negligence" because of paralyzing injuries incurred by a patient seeking relief from sore muscles.

Dr. Ivan M. Roberts was accused by Clarence S. Brewer of causing a compression fracture of his cervical vertabra while attempting an adjustment of his neck muscles. Brewer claimed that the chiropractor was "violently twisting his head to the left and right" when a loud popping noise occurred causing him to scream and become numb and paralyzed from his neck down.

Brewer is seeking in excess of $1,500 for injuries which 1 he claims were painful and permanently damaging. He also seeks damages for hospitalization and medical treatment. Brewster said in his suit that he went to the chiropractor in February for relief from sore muscles he had acquired while working in the yard.

Yent Blount Pome a 1970 Pres. Convenient Chapels In TAMPA BRANDON LUTZ questioned the pripriety of leaving such expressions in pre-recorded programs "when they don't add to value" and could be removed. "I don't care if everybody has pornographic films and books in their homes that's their business," he said. "But you as broadcasters have no control over who watches or listens to what you put on the air." Bombs Rack Two New York Theaters NEW YORK (AP) Bomb explosions rocked two Bronx movie theaters only minutes apart last night injuring at least six persons police reported. Both theaters were evacuated.

Fire erupted after the blast in the Dale Theater on West 231st street and police said at least one unexploded device was found there. Six persons were reported injured the blast and blaze. The other explosion occurred at the Paradise Theater on the Grand Concourse at 188th Street. Ryals Backs Bill To Probe Locksmiths Tribune Bureau TALLAHASSEE State Rep. John Ryals, D-Brandon, said Thursday a bill he introduced to provide investigation of applicants for locksmith occupational licenses was drafted at the request of persons in the industry.

It is said, Ryals asserted, that locksmiths do extensive work changing combinations on safes, replacing locks in hotels and motel rooms, homes and other places subject 1 to burglary, yet are not investigated. Investigation could weed out unscrupulous persons who might use the occupations to set up a crime by duplicating keys and recording lock combinations, it was said.

STONE GORDON, FUNERAL DI- Florida tugboat pioneer, passed away at Northshore Hospital, Miami, Florida April 30 at 78. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1892, became a captain of merchant ships at 19 and served as master on one of the first Standard Oil Company tankers and was also on the first vessel to load cargo at Houston, Texas via the then newly opened Houston Texas Ship Channel.

He inaugurated the first coal and phosphate barge movement from New Orleans to Tampa, Florida, in the early 1920's for the Sipsy Barge and Coal Company which became S. G. Coyle and Company and later Debardeleben Marine, serving as master of the Tug DEBARDELEBEN. Captain St. Philip moved to Miami, Florida in 1925 and founded St.

Philip Towing Company which pioneered the tug industry along the Florida East Coast. He established an ICC freight line by barge connecting West after the Florida East Coast Railroad tracks were destroyed by a hurricane in 1935. He established the first ship docking service at Port Everglades, Florida and for many years did also serve the port of Miami. During World War II, he was instrumental in keeping our military base in Cuba supplied with fuel by leaving Port Everglades, Florida with the convoy, then diverting alone along the Florida coast through the Hawk Channel, then cutting along the Florida straits at night, blacked out in order to dodge enemy submarines. After the war he concentrated on docking ships at the Port of Miami until 1960.

In 1961 he started operations in Tampa, Florida and became owner of the largest tug boat operation in the Port of Tampa. Cap- of tain St. Philip was past president Miami Propeller Club, a 32 degree Mason. He is survived by a brother, Edward; sister, Mary; daughter, Euwin Shultz; and grandson, William H.
