Sen. Edmond Gong said that Florida congressional districts now vary as much as 24 per cent, which he said is far outside the one-man, one-vote cri-, teria established by the U.

S. Supreme Court. Gong, chairman of the Senate Apportionment Committee, has also filed suit in a Miami court challenging the legality of the state's districts for U. S. representatives.

The first hearing in the court New Flag Presented To County The County of Manatee is flying a new American flag today as a special observance of Flag Day. This was made yesterday when Veterans Service Officer Joseph Siciliano presented a large flag to the Board of County Comissioners. He said the flag was the gift of an anonymous donor. He also gave each commissioner a simulated coat-pocket handkerchief in the national colors to wear today. The board agreed with a plan presented by Siciliano at the request of Commissioner Richard Briggs, related to Flag Day, and outlined as a means of giving special recognition to deceased veterans.

The plan is for the families of deceased veterans to arrange, through Siciliano, for the memorial flags given them to be flown from public buildings, instead of being put away. A roster of names would be provided and each such flag would be flown in a certain place on specified days. Newspaper publicity was asked for the project. It was also noted that Siciliano could notify the various veterans' organizations of the project so that members would know of it and be able to use their flags in this manner, if desired.

The 18- year-old Miss Moore competed with eleven other young women for the title, and as 1967 Dairy Princess will represent the dairy farmers of Florida at agricultural events throughout for the state for the coming year. She will appear on radio and television as "spokeslady" for milk and dairy products, and will be called upon to talk to, and talk with, young people her own age regarding the value of dairy products and good nutrition in today's busy young world. Miss Moore just graduated from Southeast High School in Bradenton, where she studied speech, English and drama.

She plays the piano and enjoys outdoor sports, including horseback riding, swimming and water skiing. She also cooks! When Mr. Moore was asked if there were any more at home like her, he replied, "This is the last one." This is significant because 1965 Elaine's sister, Ruth Ann won the title Florida Dairy Princess and went on to Chicago where she represented the state in the national contest. The contestants were judged on appearance, presonality and speaking ability. Runner was Eula Blackwell, of Orlando, a student at Orlando Junior ColIge.

Judges for the contest were Ormund Powers, editor of the Orlando Sentinel; Doris Ashwell, WKIS Radio personality and fashion consultant, and Dean Baxter, from WTVT-CHANNEL 13, in Tampa.

Commissioner Howard Ridyard presented and vigorously recommended action on a proposed ordinance to that general effect. Mayor William Blake and other commissioners asked for more time to study the document.

All agreed that the city should expedite an ordinance which would give the city the right to improve existing streets and roads and lay out new ones. Ridyard's proposed ordinance stated that property owners on roads and streets to be brought up to new city standards could be assessed 66 and two thirds percent of the cost. Though not bogging down on this point commission did, it its majority, feel that more precise and comprehensive language should be used to define the exercise of city authority and responsibility in the matter of bringing thoroughfares on the key up to higher standsrds. Commissioner Ridyard was asked to continue work on the proposed and much wanted ordinance, adding Commissioner Michael Brescia to the road resolution committee. In other business the city commission agreed to re-zoning of lots at the north end of the key, owned by Cecil Schofield from commercial to multiple dwelling classification.

A first reading was given an anti-pollution ordinance which is comprehensive as to the burning of trash, disposal of garbage, seweage effluents, noxious substances in the air, etc. On the proposal of Mayor Blake, City Attorney Richard Cooney was instructed to draw up an ordinance creating a buffer zone around the Buttonwood Harber Development, Trailer Park Plan Tabled LONGBOAT KEY An involved proposed ordinance connected with trailer parks was discussed by city commissioners in regular meeting last night, there tabled for further study. Mayor William Blake and Commissioner Michael Brescia led the comment on the proposed ordinance, finding that it seemed to provide loopholes whereby more trailer or mobile homes parks could be set up on the island. General commission feeling seemed to be that the two such now in operation in the center of the island were enough; that nothing should be put on the commission books which might be interpreted as providing a wedge for further development of this sort.

OHIO ALUMNI FROM AFAR--Three Ohio University alumni, class of 1917, travelled farthest to join 33 other classmates for a recent 50th anniversary Airport Officially Has No Name Now Rep. Tom Gallen lost his fight yesterday to change the name of the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport to Bradenton-Sarasota Airport. Gallen only narrowly lost the fight in the House Local Government Committee. He then proposed a "officially" bill leaving unnamed. the This airpassed.

Gallen had pointed out that Manatee County has the greater share of the land involved in the airport facility and therefore stood a greater share of loss. "Manatee loses $31,000 a year more than does Sarasota," Gallen said, "and Bradenton is being squeezed out of recognition even though it's financial loss is greater and it contributes as much as Sarasota." Gallen contended that the name Bradenton coming first on airline schedules that go all over the world would be invaluable publicity for the area. Rep. Granville Crabtree of Sarasota accused Gallen of "sneaking the name change into a bill that had nothing to do with the designation of the airport." Rep. Kent McKinley of Sarasota said he had moved to A handy wash-day helper is a clothespin bag suspended from the clothesline and pushed along as you hang clean damp clothes.

Island Catholics To Build Church LONGBOAT KEY Catholic devout of the island communities win have a new church to serve them within the reasonably near future, according to action taken last night at the regular June meeting of the Longboat Key city commissioners.

Attorney John Manson, acting in behalf of the Diocese of St. Augustine, appeared to assure commissioners that a 10-acre plot for which the Diocese is negotiating would be used for church purposes. Commissioners satisfied themselves that portions of the plot not immediately designated for church or church building and grounds construction would remain on the tax rolls, then voted in an ordinance on second reading, permitting the transaction. Manson thanked the commission for its action saying he now expected to go ahead and close the land deal.

the day preceding publication. ELAINE MOORE begins reign case is scheduled for June 30. Gong said that practically all the Florida congressmen want the Legislature to put off action til on after redrawing the 1970 their census, district and til after Congress completes action on proposal dealing with district variations. The U. S.

House of Representatives has approved a bill to allow congressional districts to vary up to 30 per cent until 1972, when the variation would drop to 10 per cent. The proposal would make the districts immune from court action implementing the one-man, one-vote decision on the federal level. The U. S. Senate has amended the House bill to require that states go into the 10 per cent maximum variation now instead of waiting until 1972.

In letter to Gong, Congressman James Haley of said any redistricting would have to be based on the 1960 census and it would be better to wait for the 1970 census when Florida will need to redistrict anyway. "In as much as the courts have held that the figure for redistricting must be based on the 1960 census, which is now seven years old, if we redistrict now on that basis, we will be more malapportioned than we presently are," Haley said. He said that in the one-man, one vote rule," we seem to be losing sight of the fact that in 1970 we will have another federal census and Florida will undoubtedly be allotted four or possibly five additional congressional seats. "I think it is the general feeling of the delegation," headded, "that it would be much better, and much fairer, to try to retain the present districts as they are until we get the 1970 census figures and our allocation of congressional seats on the basis of the 1970 population." Palmetto Youth Center Budget Under Study John Marble, park and ation director for the county, will ask the advisory committee in that department for a recommendation on the Palmetto Youth Center, according to instructions given him by the county commission yesterday. He had reported to the board that the center wished to use its budget money allocated to supplies for the purchase of concrete blocks to be used in a room addition.

Commissioner Ken Dierks also said he would like to see an inventory of supplies for this unit. He said the number of bills approved for this center "seemed excessive" to him. Marble also reported that the Bayshore Gardens Homeowners Association had given his department $200 toward completion of parkway plantings in that area. A letter was read indicating the Association's appreciation for work done and maintenance. A resolution was read and passed, during Marble's presentation, which places $9,750 in federal funds received "for beautification projects" in the park department budget.

School Board Member Urges Unity In Education "Party politics" do not jeopardize Manatee County schools, Mrs. Betty Rushmore said last night. Speaking before the League of Women Voters, the Republican member of the Manatee County Board of Public Instruction emphatically denied charges made by Supt. J. Hartley Blackburn.

Mrs. Rushmore told her audience, "I never think of an individual in terms of party affiliation, in terms of party unless I'm forced to do so. "We must work in unison and do the best job possible in the field of education," she said. a CHIEF COOKS at the annual barbecue given by the Manatee County Cattlemen's Association and Kiwanis Clubs of the county inspect a piece of meat at the pits.

(Staff Photo by Baldwin) MRS. RUSHMORE Kirk Names Sheriff TALLAHASSEE (UPI) Gov. Claude Kirk has appointed John P. Bent, an investigator for the Florida Forest Service, as sheriff of Charlotte County. Bent, 30, a Republican, was named Tuesday to succeed Democrat Dave Keegan, effective 5 p.m.

Thursday. Deegan, who was appointed interim sheriff last year by then Gov. Haydon Burns when Republican Sheriff Richard Stickley was indicted, said Tues. day he replaced "solely because I am a Democrat." Deegan said Paul Marko, a Kirk aide, asked him to resign last week. "When I asked him why he wanted my resignation, he said it was because I am a Democrat," adding that Marko told him Kirk wanted to name a Republican sheriff.

Stickley has been acquitted on one of four counts against him. Three other trials are pending. One disadvantage of durable press garments has been the impossibility of alterations because factory-set creases just wouldn't come out. However, a special chemical spray has recently been developed to remove such creass so that new ones can be placed where desired. That altered hem seam, or cuff will then be just as durable to wear and suds as the original..
