war criminals will begin by

objections from British or
Russian sources to the mode
Of procedure he has advo-
Gated.
From another source. it
was said that probably Nazi
leaders will be tried on
charges of conspiracy under

ENDANGERED FROM
SEEPAGE OF WATER

TARPON SPRINGS. June a.
FNS)-Officials report that Lake
Butler. one ol the largest and
most beautiful lakes on the Flor
ida West Coast, is endangered
from salt water seepage and -
now SD brackish that a fish hatch
cry established there for fresh
water fish has to he closed. The
long continued drought is blamed
for the condition. The lake, which
is seven miles in length and from
a mile to a mile and a half ~
width, is located close To the gulf
and BIOLOGISTS believe the se"p-
age is coming from an under
ground connection with the bayou
in Tarpon Springs, caused by the

HARD PROBLEM
BEFORE STATE
LEGISLATURE
REINFORCEMENT ISSUE
KEEPS MEMBERS GOING
WITH NO REAL HEADWAYI
ON QUESTION

TALLAHASSEE, June % FNS)
1t was case of IAN irresistible
force meeting an immovable
body" in Tallahassee last week
as the legislature continued to go
around in circles in search of the
answer to the reapportionment
problem. se .-....
With the issue in a hopeless
deadlock, the Senate, unable to
reach any kind of a compromise,
passed a resolution TO recess un-
til 2 p, m. Monday, November q,
1916, the day before the next gem
eral electi6h, when the terms Of
Ian members Of the house and half
the Senator'S will expire g.
The house in the, meantime,'
passed resolution asking Gov
efnor Caldwell to give his views
on the problem. The Governor
has already pointed out that this
is strictly legislative job and he
expressed the hope that the leg
lslature would be able to find an
early and constructive answer to
the problem.
The house then frightened the
deadlock when an embattled
South Florida majority voted to
stand firm against the proposal of
the senate for a recess and indi-
vidual members served notice
that they were prepared to stay
all summer if necessary.
Representative Joe Jenkins of
Alachua termed the present con-
stitutional system for reapposnt-
ment of senate membership
among the counties ian absurd
ity" under which no statutory re-
districting ever could be accom-
plished. $3.50
He proposed an amendment re-
writing the clause and dividing
the state into areas of "homogen-
olis interests assigning a specific
VI CdCll
and providing some formula for
revising by statute or automatic
procedure.
The only tangible progress made
by either branch came when the
house passed a bill to reapportion
its own membership on a basis of
the 1945 census. It would take
house seats away from the North
Florida counties of Madison, SUI
wannee and Putnam and move
them south to Sarasota, Lee and
Brevard.
Friction between North and
South Florida factions in the
house flared to new heights when
the southern majority requested
use of the house chambers for a
closed caucus and some North
Floridians objected to. leaving
their seats. They relented, how
ever, after some sharp debate and
the caucus was held.
Indications are the deadlock
will continue and no one can pre-
dict how long the extra session
will last or what will be its out
come. BE- $50 '''t
