This, he said, would provide an alternative applicant for the channel should the school board decide to abandon its plant to operate a station. Graham doubted that the matter would be discussed by board at meeting this morning. He said he preferred to defer action until the board has a fifth member.

The Miami Beach post on the board was vacated three weeks ago by the resignation of Milton Weiss. Acting Charlie Johns has not yet appointed an interim member to fill the job. Henry I. Beetham who headed the Educational Television Facts Committee which fought the school board plan said the vote clearly indicated how the area's citizens feel about it. He pointed out that his group has never opposed educational TV as such but only its operation by a public agency, supported by public funds, Shores Receives Bid of $38.474 The Hoefle Construction with a.

of $38,474, was the apparent bidder Tucsday for blow remodeling the Miami Shores Country Club, including a kitchen extension, addition of a storage room, glass jalousing of a patio and relocating the club bar. Nine bids submitted to the Miami Shores Council, which also rejected a renewed petition for a beer and wine license from the Pickin' Chicken Restaurant, 9060 Biscayne blvd.

no mail or phone orders Labor Told GOP Broke Promises (Continued from Page 1) through Taft-Hartley will really be felt, he said. Labor is pleading for a "fair law," not the current act, he said. "But it would appear that a fair law is not the real intention of the administration," he declared. "I that the delays and runarounds in Washington have gone far toward making it easier for your enemies to do their worst." Riley told the labor delegates. He urged Florida leaders to renew efforts through pressure and letters to their congressmen and senators for the so-called "dollar amendment." This is an amendment to the minimum wage law.

Labor wants to increase the minimum hourly wages from 75 cents to one dollar-but is meeting stubborn resistance from the administration, Riley said. He called this a "hot potato" which Republican leaders are trying to dodge. "I believe the administration will try to run for cover unless smoked out by labor." Riley said Weeks does not seem to realize each cabinet officer has a specific functionand the functions of commerce do not include intersecretary, labor legislative matters, he said. (lican platform of President Elsenhower last fall, he added. Frank Roche of Miami, president of the Florida federation, was formerly re-elected for a twoyear term without opposition in balloting for state labor offices Tuesday afternoon.

C. Farris Bryant of Oala speaker of the Florida House, said the Florida constitution has become "blurred by piecemeal amendments" over the years and now is in dire need of revision.

Bryant urged the Florida Federation of Labor to throw its support behind a statewide move to force constitutional revision at the next session of the legislature in 1955. The outmoded constitution, drawn in 1885 to serve a state stretching from Pensacola to St. Augustine, is unwieldy in serving the needs of a progressive state which has expanded ah the way to Key West, he said. Bryant said revisions are in order for the executive, legislative and judicial departments of state government, The problems created in succession governorship by the death of Dan' McCarty has focused attention of many of the needs, he declared. But the people should be made aware of the shortcomings, and through the polls bring about the needed changes.

Bryant said the question of a 60-day legislative session every two years must be considered, although he believes--with an adequate constitution--this is sufficient time for the lawmakers to act on their problems. Jury Selected In Bribe Case A six-man jury that will try H. H. Hill, former county building department employe, on charges of "accepting illegal compensation" for issuing a license to a contractor, was selected late Tuesday in Criminal court.

Child Molester Boy's Assailant Puts The Blame on Liquor By JOHN SENNING Herald Staff Writer FORT LAUDERDALE-This, now, is Winston Morse: "I know there's something wrong with me.

Twice, he said, he was convicted in Massachusetts, his home state, on child fondling charges. "I was examined by doctors both times and finally given a clean bill of health. Then I was put on probation," Morse continued.

"I haven't done anything like this, though, since 1944. I know now there's something wrong with me. I know it and want to do something about it." He interrupted his story to ask, "Will you ask them to have a minister visit me? Any protestant minister. I'd like to talk to one." Morse was still wearing a brown shirt which was badly torn when Bruce Strandhagen's father, Harry, beat him after learning of the crime Monday night. He peered through darkrimmed glasses.

His thinning hair is receding. One lock is gray. He said he had seen eightyear-old Bruce walk by his cabin off the beach several times in the two and a half weeks he had lived there. "It never occured to me to do anything until Monday night. I'd been drinking quite a bit, beer and whisky both.
