2-A THE MIAMI HERALD Saturday April 6 1957 Record Crop of Lo Is Shaping Up By STEPHEN THUMB I'LL Hrld tuff Writer TALLAHASSEE Florida's 1957 legislature appeared Friday to be on itsway to a record-breaking crop of lobbyists Exactly 135 already hae signed the House register In 1955 the crop total for the entire session was 436 which included all those who came here in delegations for single committee appearances Former House and Senate members who as such have the privilege of roaming at will around the floor figure high on the current list They include: Former Sens Warren (Bobbj) Sanches representing the mortgage bankers Raeburn Horn representing the small loan lobby e-Hnuse members John Ward Hender son of Tallahassee representing Asiociated Industries along with William Jihb of that same city Tom Johnson of Tampa representing the Insurance agents Griner of Cross City representing the South Florida Racing Assn of Pompano Beach and Glenn Summers of Tampa representing Dade Circuit Judge George Holt There was also Rep Pren tiss Pruitt of Monticello to represent the segregationist Florida Federation for Constitutional government Probably the best-h I fellow in the slate to sign the lobbyist list and who always signs up early is John Lykes head of the Lykes cattle steamship packing and citrus dynasty He is highly respected in both houses McGregor Smith chairman of the board of the Florida Power and Light Co who always spearheads the watchdog chore for that company was on hand but was not among the early signers Neither had one of his assistants on the scene Ben Fuqua of Miami Shelley Jr of Tallahassee and Dick Judy of St Petersburg were signed up for the Florida Power Corp and Paul Gregory of Quincy was signed for the Gulf Power Co Lacy Mahon Sr of Jacksonville father of the former representative from there who now is Duval County solicitor signed as a lobbyist for the naturopaths fighting a bill that would outlaw them on Oct 1 Among the very long-timers to sign early were A Tom- masello of Bartow representing the Florida Trucking Assn and Steed of Orlando representing both the citrus industry and the automobile dealers the latter fighting a proposed 2 per cent sales tax Probably the most mild mannered and quiet signer of the lobby list was Donald Lane of Miami long time representative of the Christian Scientists of Florida Ha scrupulously avoids getting involved in any bill other than one that might violate the teachings of that church Dozens of other known lobbyists are on the scene and busy at the chore of making friends in the right places but they spurned the early rush at the registration desk By House rules they should do this signing before talking to the first member on any -bill One Agency Cut Ofi Army Rules In

The military banned demonstrations and warned the people in radio broadcasts that the police have been ordered to shoot looters The announcement sternly forbade any incitements to disorder during the political crisis resulting from the ouster of three presidents in four months Many burglaries have been reported during recent nights The technique is to smash street lights then break into stores under cover of darkness The army communique appealed to employers and workers to settle their differences and an end to strikes It said the of the country is so precariously balanced it cannot

Joseph Mazzei discredited Pittsburgh undercover agent for the FBI the trial record had only slim evidence to offset steadfast denials ruling by Judge Pearson reversed his earlier decision in July 1956 and went in cottadiction to the Sept 3 1954 disbarment order of Circuit Judge Vincent Giblm The Florida Supreme Court reversed the order of Judge Gibiin and ordered a neve trial on grounds that neither testimony nor proof of the charges had been heard Highlights of the judgment and opinion by Judge Pearson included these: matter has had a long and inglorious history in the courts of this state (Shemer) In his original answer denied that he had ever been guilty of unprofessional acts 'or misconduct and stated he did not believe in advocating or teaching the forceful overthrow of government of the United States of America question before the Supreme Court (on the appeal from Judge Gibhn's order of disbarment) was directly: Whether or not the respondent's refusal to answer questions was sufficient ground upon which to disbar The Supreme Court answered in the negative is recognized by all legal authorities that a person has the right to refuse to answer questions which might tend to incriminate him must be made clear that the respondent (in recent hearings) answered all questions directed to him regarding his activities after April 1 1952 The state advised the court it had no ev idence of Communist activities or improper activities of any kind or nature regarding the respondent subsequent to the date Judge Pearson observed further: had hoped at each hear- ing that respondent (Sheiner) would not invoke his constitutional privileges but would come forward and make a full and complete denial or explanation of this matter to the court his fellow members ofv

recommended 5653665060 for the fiscal year starting July 1 This is 5217827940 less than President Eisenhower requested in new funds and 568950 076 less than the current year's appropriations In addition to the cut one of the biggest thus far this year the committee ordered the War Shipping Administration to return 565251 000 in unspent funds to the Treasury Jobwise the committee approved only 4038 of the 7499 new Commerce Department-agency positions provided for in Mr budget Most of these are in the Civil Aeronautics Administration The 5328 325660 allotment includes $177747800 for operation and regulation and would permit employment of 3 330 new technicians to handle the steadily growing flow of airways traffic While asserting it recognizes the need for economy the committee

a subsidiary of National Airlines and is headed by XAL President George (Ted) Baker It was recently granted an FCC permit scheduled to start operation about September Approval by the FCC of the transaction would mean channel 10 would be on the air three months before the originally-scheduled date Baker had flatly denied a Herald report two weeks ago that he was negotiating for purchase of the WGBS-TV facilities Purchase price paid by Public Service was not revealed The company bought WGBS's land tower and studio facilities The facilities purchased include the 9S0-foot operating tower and transmitter site of 31 5 acres located north of Miami a second tower disman- tied but ready for use if needed and property for new studios at Biscayne Boulevard and 21st Street in Miami George
