State Building !;
Fund Will Get
Surplus Money

TALLAHASSEE, July 25.-
FNS)-Upholding the position
of Governor Caldwell and the
Cabinet majority, the Supreme
Court last week directed Comp
troller Lee to transfer into the
state building fund nearly $4,-
100000 which the Budget Com
mission has declared to be sur
plus money.
The ruling apparently opened
the door for record progress on
a $15,0O0,00O program for erect
ing new buildings for the state
institutions and agencies.
The court left entirely to the
discretion of the Cabinet Budget
Commission the question of de-
termining when there is more
than enough money in the treas
ury to meet necessary regular
expenses and upheld a 1945 act
permitting the board to use sur
pluses for construction.
Comptroller Lee, on the advice
of Attorney General Watson, had
declined to make most of the
transfers directed by the Cabinet
until he had a Supreme Court
ruling on the constitutionality
and effect of the building act.

Jaycees TO Ask Commission
For Court Decision Opinion
BELIEVED TO BE ONLY
WAY TO SETTLE EN-.
TIRE CONTROyER-
SIAL MATTER

Junior Chamber of Commerce
at a regular meeting held at
WKWF offices last night decided
to ask the City Commissioners
to instruct the City Attorney to
get a declaratory opinion from
the Circuit Court in the con-
troversy about the City Man
ayers power to hire and fire en-

that the matter can be settled
satisfactorily only if the powers
of the Managers office be
clearly stated by court decision.
A letter of protest was order
ed written to the Miami Herald
with copies to the Managing
Editor, Publisher, ETC., because of
the article by Ed. Wall appearing
in the July % issue which Of
fered a Misrepresentation of To-
cal conditions.
The feasibility of procuring a

ordered looked into. A represen-
tative of company selling this
apparatus has advised that none
are available in the county and
pointed out how necessary they
were in the event of casualties
resulting from fires and other
disasters.

More Workers
To Be Released
From Sub Base

With Approximately $4,000
weekly saved the Navy Base by
its recent reduction in force of
428 mechanical trade workers, il
was learned by The Citizen to-
day that budget restrictions call
for the release of 121 classified
or office workers there by Sept.
so.
Representing % per cent of
all classified employees at the
basej the combined annual sal
airy of the III, to be released is
about $275,00O. Following the
September 30 date, more CLASH
fled workers are scheduled to be
released until the leveling off
status is achieved in March.
The pressure Of budget re-
strictions and decrease in work
load necessitated only a weeks
notice to the 428 mechanical
trade workers leaving tomor-
row. They are carried on the
payrolls either in a payable or
non-payable capacity, depending
upon the amount of their accu-
mulated leave.
Employment officials herr
state that few of the 428 to be
released tomorrow can be alb
sorbed in any private employ
ment here. The majority of those
unemployed are making plans to
leave the city.
War veterans among them are
given opportunities to qualify
for ratings in other trades. Every
effort is also being made to give
veterans with temporary civil
service appointments, opportuni-
ties to qualify for absolute ap-
pointments.
All employees at the yard agree
that reduction in force at the
base is being done on the most
equable basis possible.

ment was verified by his wife.
Witnesses declared that Hector
Castro, another police officer, was
in the filling station when GU
tierrez arrived. Castro admitted
under questioning that he was

left it ahead of schedule.
Asked by Board Chairman
Ralph Sierra why Castro wasn't

tierrez pointed out that most
restaurants were dispensers of
liquor and that he would prefer
eating at home with his wife and
family.

BIKINI, July Though Ad-
miral Blandy and his corps of
experts have not yet been able
to enter Bikini lagoon because
of the presence of radioactive
elements, it was learned today
that far worse damage was done
to the ships than was estimated.
yesterday.
At first report, it was said
that three ships had gone to the
bottom. but today it was learned
the total is Ii. seven large ships !,
and four small ones.
Other ships are listing badly
and are expected to sink. Parts :
have been torn from practically {
all ships that, remained on the
surface despite the violence of
the blast.
One spectator, aboard Admiral
Blandy's ship at a distance of :
mile from Bikini, said he saw
parts of ships shot into the air
in column of water half mile
in diameter. The peak of the
column was estimated to have
reached a mile in height. Out OF
the top of the column steam
streamed upward to an addi-
tional two miles.
Opinion was that the five sub
marines that were submerged in
the lagoon, to an undisclosed
depth, also have been destroyed
Admiral Blandy said it was too
early to determine definitely to
what extent the bomb had de-
stroyed or damaged the 81 ships
that were in. the lagoon at the
time of the explosion. He added
that when the radioactivity in
the, lagoon subsidized, coI1tihgents
of the task force will enter to I
ascertain the full extent of the
damage.
