Page plans to introduce nine of 11 district directors to department Tuesday, an aide said Monday. Rex Newman, HRS information officer, said Page had filled all but two of the 11 district directors positions created by the 1975 legislature. The new jobs become effective with reorganization of the agency Wednesday.

He said the nine directors would appear with Page in a meeting for department employes who fear transfers and loss of jobs in reorganization of the social services agency.

The police task force of the Governor's Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals said also it is recommending that two years of college be required by new officers by 1980. Policemen hired before 1980 should be required to sign an agreement that they will complete two years of college within five years, the task force said.

Introduce Directors livery of services by the state's largest agency. Divisions in areas such as health, mental health and retardation were abolished, replaced by program offices and 11 districts which are intended to coordinate delivery of all services. Page has described the 11 district directors as "little secretaries" who will have considerable decision-making power within the boundaries of their districts. Howard Selection Apparent TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Chairman Ray E.

Howard apparently will be reappointed to the Parole and Probation Commission by the Cabinet without opposition Tuesday. Cabinet aides said they had heard no opposition to the appointment Gov. Reubin Askew has announced he plans to propose. However, that does not mean Howard is assured of remaining in the seat. Senate Ways and Means Chairman Jack Gordon, D- Miami Beach, who is a sharp critic of Howard, said he would not appear before the Cabinet but would examine the appointment closely when it comes before the Senate next year for confirmation.

(AP) Florida need not sacrifice clean water and air for the sake of the industrial development it needs, Gov. Reubin Askew said Monday. 'Ours is slot a between economic expansion and environmental protection," Askew told the 19th TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Senate Education Chairman Phil Lewis, D- West Palm Beach, urged universities and community colleges Wednesday to standardize their academic timetables. "I see that as one positive step we can make for the furure," Lewis told higher education officials at a meeting of the Florida Public Post-Secondary Education Finance Committee.

Community colleges now operate on a modified semester system, but the state universiities operate on the quarter system. Vice Chancellor Joe Stafford told the committee that Board of Regents officials and state university presidents have ex- Phil Lewis Urges College Standards rds pressed interest in changing to a semester system "if we can get the act all together." He pointed out that the universities have changed a number of times in the past, moving from a trimester system to quarters a few years ago. Stafford said university officials were fearful that it would cost too much to adopt a semester system. However, he agreed with a community college spokesman who said that a semester system costs less administratively than a quarter system. "We think the big savings is probably in reduction of administrative costs, one less registration and grading period," Stafford said.

Many persons, particularly legislators, have complained that the Askew administration has demonstrated an antibusiness attitude through such steps as strict environmental regulation which has hurt the state's industrial development and efforts to recover from the recession. Askew said, "We have tried, in recent years, to free Florida from the tattered fetters of the booster mentality.

No longer are we willing to sacrifice our land and the livelihood of our people for the sake of indiscriminate development." The state needs to concentrate on clean industry compatible with tourism, farming and construction, which have brought past prosperity, he said. The governor cited the solar energy industry which could mean "thousands of jobs." Two Regulations Help Deter Juvenile Crime TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

Gladys Moves Westward. Hurricane Gladys moved steadily westward Monday but, like Hurricane Faye in a distant portion of the North Atlantic, posed no immediate threat to land, forecasters said. At noon EDT, Gladys was located near latitude 23.0 north and longitude 64.0 west, about 350 miles north northeast of San Juan, P.R.

The Florida Power experiment, to be conducted with 200 residential customers for a year, is aimed at convincing consumers to use appliances during off-peak hours through rate bonuses and penalties. During the experiment, customers will be charged 1.7 cents kilowatt hour, about half the per current rate, for plugging in during off-peak hours. However, power consumption during peak hours will cost 7.9 cents per kilowatt hour, about double the current rate. Company officials have estimated that customers who change their lifestyles under the experiment could cut their electricity bills by one-third. Summer peak hours, from April through October, are 1-9 p.m.

while winter peak hours fall between 7 and 11 a.m. and from 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., company officials said. Faircloth Issues Warning ents to participate in family counseling with delinquents.
