Padgett agreed, and a trial date in mid-January was set. Court appointed psychiatrists have already examined D'Arcangelo and found him mentally competent to stand trial. D'Arcangelo has been represented by Cury, who was appointed by the court because D'Arcangelo and his family can not afford to pay for his defense.

Cury is still assisting in D'Arcangelo's defense. But Cury said Thursday that D'Arcangelo felt that Cury, as a state-paid public defender, was part of the court system and that he was suspicious of the relationship. "The family is practically destitute," Ragano said. "I'll receive no compensation." Thursday was Ragano's first day back in the practice of law. He had been suspended by the Florida Supreme Court for five years afte'r a federal income tax conviction.

Royal died five days later. A third fireman was wounded, and police say D'Arcangelo fired at a building maintenance man but missed.

This Fish Tale Is A Whopper m. Massive, Moody Lolita Is The Center Of Attention At Miami Seaquariuni Casual Casting 1 Tampa Bay neatly silhouettes Joe Decker as he casts a line into the water near the Seaplane Basin. "It's a good place to watch ships and porpoises and planes," Decker says. "Ikyou catch a fish that's something extra." Tribune Photo by Britt Committee Backs Away From Secret Meeting KEY BISCAYNE (AP) Lolita is a happy widow who attracts a lot of attention. She's still young, intelligent and, although she's moody at times, she's easy to get along with.

There's one problem, however she has one whaleuva appetite. In fact, she consumes 130 pounds of fish daily give or take a few pounds. That's to be expected, however, for a killer whale who tips the scales at close to four tons. But "killer" she's not, says her head trainer, Lou Roth, a 23-year-old bachelor who looks as much at home in the water as she does. "She's gentle," he said affectionately after putting the 20-foot mammal through a performance at the Miami Seaquarium, "but if she decides she doesn't want to do something, she won't do it." Of the three trainers who work with Lolita four shows a day, 365 days a year, Roth knows her best.

He's worked with her for four of the five years he's been with the tourist attraction. "I don't think of myself as her, trainer it's more of a partnership," he explained, "and if I ever leave here I'll miss her." Roth is justifiably proud of her and brags that she usually performs 21 "behaviors," or tricks during a performance. "She actually knows about 40," he added. Responding to hand, voice or whistle signals from Roth, Lolita will, on cue, nod "yes" or "no," swim upside down, wave to the audience with either of her fins, perform swan dives and belly flops and, in the finale, leap 21 feet from the water to touch a rubber ball suspended in the air. Her big splash back into the tank from that "behavior" usually drenches many of the spectators, but no one ever complains.

Lolita prefers it when Roth is in the water close to her. "She likes it best when I'm in her environment." Bills From Page IB turh-for the company of 10.31 percent. GenTel had sought a rate of return of 10.81 percent. The staff set the return on common equity at 16 percent. General Telephone had wanted 16.5 percent.

He has such confidence in her that he can open her huge mouth and place his head between her powerful jaws! He has yet to be nicked by her 45.shatp teeth. The only danger for me is sne might crush me against the her tank in her enthusiasm." Lolita, experts calculate, is 1.5 years old now halfway through her lifespan. She was captured as a youngster in Puget Sound in 1970 and brought to the Seaquarium to join Hugo, a male whale caught in Vaughn Bay, in 1968. No one seems-to remember who gave Lolita.

her name, but Hugo received tits "to honor Hugo Vihlen, a Delta jet prjbt from Homestead, who sailed the Atlantic alone in a six-foot sailboat that year, a feat yet to be surpassed. Hugo and Lolita performed together until he died of an aneurysm March 4, 1980. "We expected problems when Hugo died, but Lolita performed as Usual the next day," recalled Roth. "Once in a while she would look rfor him, but she got over it." As husband and wife, the. two whales lived well together arid, although Lolita was pregnant a few times, she never delivered a live offspring.

Lolita seems to have no complaints about her life in captivity. However, she does have her moods and can be stubborn. "I can tell by her eyes if she's upset or bothered by something they get big," he explained, And when Lolita feels particularly cantankerous, she let's Roth know it in no uncertain terms with a "behavior" she's taught herself she sticks her tongue out at quest down to $30 million, the staff made the following observations: General Telephone's inventory of material and supplies is $12 million too high. They concluded that the company had the second highest investment in materials and supplies in the state, with an average of $32.27 in supplies for every telephone. The state average for all phone companies is $22.86.

Advertising expenses of $347,452 designed to enhance General Telephone's image will not be allowed in the rate base. The company had listed more than $3 million in advertising expenses. Charitable contributions of $301,720 will not be borne by the customers of General Telephone. General Telephone's president, George Gage, had said failure to allow the company to recover this expense from customers would jeopardize the contributions. However, the staff concluded a "good corporate citizen" should donate its own money rather than the customers who are paying law and would not, in fact, meet in public.

"We're not a public body. We're not a decision-making body," said committee Chairman James Sander-lin, a circuit judge from Clearwater. Sanderlin said he had been advised by Attorney General Jim Smith's office that the meeting wouldn't have to be in public. State Attorney Robert Stone of Fort Pierce, a committee member, suggested that someone double-check with Smith. Pamela Davis of the Department of Corrections, who sits on the committee, walked down the hall to Smith's office to inquire.

She returned a few minutes later and conferred with other members of the panel secretly. The doors soon were opened and the interviewing done in the open. TALLAHASSEE (UPI) A committee screening applicants for the Parole and Probation Commission tried to meet in secret Thursday, then backed down after the Attorney General's office said the Sunshine Law would have been violated. The Parole and Probation Qualifications Committee agreed finally to conduct its two days of interviews before the press and public. The panel is considering 22 persons for four commission seats, including the incumbent commissioners who want new terms: Ray Howard, Charles Scriven, Maurice Crockett and Anabell Mitchell.

Candidates for the seats, who will be named by Gov. Bob Graham and the Cabinet, also include state Rep. A.M. Tony" Fontana and former Leon County Sheriff Ken Katsaris.
