ofes
By The Associated Press

Florida's highways came in for
comment from two Democratic
candidates for governor Tuesday
night.
Alto Adams said in a radio
broadcast originating at Panama
City that. the State Road Depart
ment has added LOO employees to
its payroll in the last five years
and that il doesn't make sense
for the agency to have more in
spectors than common lab0rers.
Adams said t.e Road Depart
ment is just one example" Of the
growing state payroll and added
There is no telling how many
times il is being multiplied
throughout the iumbled assert
mcnt of boards and bureaus which
Rave taken over our state govern
ment."
Dan McCarty told a Hollywood
audience that Florida's road and
traffic problems have become
critical because of our great
growth.
I'VE must widen and expand our
arterial highway system. It's a
matter of self-preservation for Us
and good investment for all
Florida.
McCarty also said he is opposed
to any increase in state taxes and
pointed out that 'as most revenue
comes from the consumer level,
il is certain to increase with the
states growth in population
Adams said since 1916 the states
payroll has more than trip!ed and
that there are more than $4,000
people drawing paychecks from
the state.
Adams charges were denied by
Road Department Chairman AL
fred A. Mcclellan who said:
Apparently Justice Adams is
confused and continues to be con-
fused. In talking with some of his
friends, | find that they are con-
fused at his confusion. +"
McKethan said most of the main
tenance work on highways is done
BY convicts and most of the con-
struction work is done under con-
tract with common labor on pay
rolls of contractors.
Gov. Fuller Warren also replied
10 Adams. In his statewide radio
broadcast, Warren said:
"A certain candidate for gov
ernor is either attempting to mis-
lead and deceive the people OF
Florida or he himself is grossly
ignorant about the facts OF our
state government. He has been
running around over Florida telling
the people that about 60 state
boards and commissions are under
control of the governor.
Warren said only the State Bev-
erage Department is headed by a
man who serves at the pleasure
OF the governor. Tie added that
heads of others appointed by the
governor have commissions which
can be suspended only for six con-
stitutional grounds.
This added and confused can
didate wants to abolish the State
Road Department as now eonsti-
t,ted. Warren said. III would not
be surprising TO hear him start
hollering 10 start moving the state
capital"

TeleyisiGn is credited with build

But this little view box can de-
stroy as well as build. And isn't
this already becoming evident?
The American people love a

Of Franklin d. Roosevelt's famous
fireside chats lay in the fact he
didn't make one every day.
Are some statesmen already
making the mistake of ir siting
themselves too often into Ameri-

II is thought that must cost
them considerable soul-searching,

epitaph of some candidates may
be this:

The trouble with using television
as an electie1eering medium is
that even the wisest speaker, the
most veteran campaigner, doesn't
realize the point at which he may
begin TO bore more people than
he interests.
Television is without doubt the
greatest entertainment bargain
since the free shows the Caesars
put on in the Coliseum at Rome.
Mediocre as many of the pro-
grams are, the average man, what
ever his interests or educational
level. can find 10 to Is hours Of
entertainment worth his attention.
The programs would be even
etter if as much time, talent and
effort were put into them as are
put into the commercials. That is
why more and mere thoughtful
viewers prefer the artful and tune
full commercials TO the drab pro-
grams that preccde and follow
them.
Maybe the answer is for the
sponsors TO concentrate even more
on the commercials and drCp the
programs altogether.
