Coordination Sought Among
Groups StudyingRed Tide

NAPLES Rj-The special Florida
House Committee set up to study
the fishkilling red tide has made
it clear that one of its aims is 10
avoid what it thinks might be dupli-
cation in research efforts.
The committee also sounded a
call for more cooperation and CO.
ordination among all agencies
studying the red tide which has
killed fish by the millions lin the
Gulf of Mexico since 1947.
Scientists from the Universities
of Miami and Florida asked the
committee yesterday for aid in
obtaining $280,OOO in state monies
to conduct research. The Miami
Marine Laboratory wants "a mil
lion dollars of the amount.
Rep. D. c. Jones Jr,, of Naples,
chairman of the committee, and
Rep. Tom johnson of Tampa
sounded the principal notes on what
they said was lack of coordination.
Also conducting research is a
team of federal scientists working
out of Fort Myers. These research.
ers are part of the Federal Fish
and Wildlife Agency.
johnson observed that it appears

asked DR.. James B. Lackey of the
new Florida research laboratory at
st. Petersburg whether coordina-
ton could not be effected.
DR.. Lackey replied that coordina-
ton already is being accomplished
and that his staff of researchers
have not had the time to publish
their findings. He said also that
the University of Florida informal
ly had furnished results of their
studies to other agencies.
Dean Joseph We'll, head of the
University of Floridas Engineering
and Industrial Research Division
and Lackey's superior, said the
Florida scientists want to be sure
of their facts before getting them
into print.
johnson obtained no complete
answer to his question on whether
all the research could not be con-
centrated in one laboratory.
Robert Engle said the University
OF Miami wanted to use its money
obtained from the state to CD study
the basic biology of the red tide
believed to be caused by the or
ganism gymnodinium breviS-and
results of tidal currents on the red
tide; (2) find control measures;
CD make cultures of the marine
life killer and laboratories and;
(4) keep a floating laboratory ship
permanently on the West Coast.
Dean We'll was asked why the
University of Florida was seeking
considerably less money than M.
ami. We'll explained he hoped the
research would be continuing
process and that funds from private
sources and foundations might be
supplied to supplement the state
money.
He added that much more re-
mains to the problem than making
cultures of the marine organisms.
He said much engineering study
will have to be done.

scientists want to look into deposits

Engle also said there appeared
to be something washing off from

which might touch off the red tide

the institution during the period
from January l to July 81 this
year This is 1913 more admissions
than for the same period in 1858,
when 827 were admitted.
Added to this is five percent
increase in emergencies. During
the previous year, 1869 patients
were treated for injuries, but not
admitted to the hospital. Thus far
in 1854 this figure is listed at LII
treatments.
Alarmed by the heavy demand
on the hospitals already over-taXed
facilities, the building committee,
at its recent meeting, discussed
plans for the proposed new wing
with Dr.. Fred C. Carter, hospital
construction consultant, Of Cleve-
land. In his conference with the
group, DR.. Carter indicated that
new plans might be the means Of
saving some money and at the
same time make more practical
use of space in the new addition.
Hospital authorities expressed
the hope that construction might
get underway as early as next
spring, but said that the final de-
cision rested with the people of
the county, who so generously
pledged their contributions during
the drive last January.
AT that time total of $268, ,OO0
was realized. Payments to date
have reached total of 100000.
On the advice Of construction
men, officials at the hospital feel
that it would not be feasible to
start actual construction until at
leas tWo-thirds Of the money is on
hand. Treasurer Gene Rolte reports
that contributions are coming in
at a good rate, but estimated that
it would be the fall of 1855 before
the 100000 needed could be OBJ
tanned.
Ray Lambert, chairman of the
drive, this week issued an appeal
that all outstanding pledges be
paid up at their fastest rate, and
that anyone not contacted in the
drive wishing to make a donation
do so as soon as possible, so that
actual construction date can be
moved up to the spring.
Total cost of the new wing has
been set at $300,000 and will in
crease the capacity of the hospital
by thirty beds.
The building committee of the
hospital is composed of Vincent
BRO, Charles Wolfe, Albert Holz-
hauer, Carl Heckler and Dr. A. D.
Miessner. They have been in close
contact with John Richards, of Bel
Imam, Gillette and Richards, arch
itects of Toledo, which firm drew
up the plans for the original struc-
ture.

Promise Biggest
Sheep Show Of
World For Fuir

AS the premier state in produc-
tion of pure-bred sheep, boasting
more sheep per square mile than
any state in the Union, Ohio is
offering the largest sheep show in
the world at the 1854 Ohio State
Fair in Columbus, Aug. 27-Sept. 3,
according to Willard Bitter, presi-
dent of the Ohio State Board of
Agriculture, board member in
charge of sheep exhibits.
Scheduled for the 1854 exposi-
ton is the American Corriedale
Association meeting and the Ma
tional Corriedale Show, with E. K.
Faulkner, of Laramie, Wyo., al
judge. Nearly $4,000 in prize money
is offered, making it the richest
stake yet offered. The Ohio State
Fair Special for the show amounts
to $1,000 and the American Corrie-
dale Association is offering a SINH
lar amount.
Breeders of Cheviots from six
states have already made entries
and an increase in the number of
Hampshires, Dorsets and South
downs is noted. Buyers and breed
ers are attracted each year by the
big sheep sale Saturday, Aug. %,
when they gather to see the best
sheep of the leading flocks and to
purchase breeding stock.
