YE EDITORS NOTEBOOK
POLITICALLY SPEAKING

Governor Leroy Collins opened the Legislature on
Tuesday with lengthy but interesting speech He asked
penal and correctional Institutions and appropriation
of $6340 900 for the state university at Tampa He
wants six new community junior colleges.
In relations the governor believes the program
enacted at last summers special session would be ade
quate but he wants sufficient appropriated to
finance the pupil assignment law and that permanent
advisory committee appointed to assist him rela
tons.
Look the that legislation is be put through
to restore Circuit Judges on practically full salary and if
correct there is to be increase of the SIT
salary now paid Circuit Court judges.
Supreme Court judges who now receive $4,000 will
get $25,0OO Is $4,000 year reasonable increase?
The state attorney wants an increase from 1900 a
year to $21 900. That's $1,000 more.
Teachers salary increase going to be big matter
for legislators this session. The teachers want in
crease of S., 100 year.
Gov Collins disagrees. He recommends an increase
from the state of $500 for the first year and 5000 for the
second for merit raises those counties prepared to
provide matching funds under system proved by the
board of education
In the light the increases proposed asked for by
other departments of the government the teachers
justified in their request.
In our opinion all of the applications proposals for
increases should be favoraby considered but of
them far too high and legislators must consider
the taxpayers pocket also.
Governor Leroy Collins recommended an increase of
80 in automobile tax in order to provide
for schools.
This would mean car owners now paying $500 for
tag would pay $3.50 and those paying $4,000 would
Dade County Commissioners do not agree with this
increase and think they right They inclined
toward increase in sales tax
Even if the tag tax to be increased 80 percent
increase is by far too much.
Some of legislators far too generous when il
to increasing taxes.
And sales tax for the month of March, 1857 amount
ed For the first nine months of the fiscal
year it $72,346,1s7.

MONDAY, APRIL I

A small total of 80 cazes was
listed for trial in Judge John D.
John2on's Municipal Court Mon
day morning, April !.
Getting plenty of attention was
the case of David Hayes of 2045
NV 4th court, who was charged
with assault with a rifle on Mrs.
Bessie Mae Cant of AL NV 21st
terrace. The incident occurred on
last Tuesday afternoon on NV
4th court near goth terrace, &C.
cording to the court records.
Mrs. Cant told the court her
l4-year-old son and another boy
were engaged in a childish fight
when Hayes interceded. But in
stead Of making peace and sepa-
rating the boys, Mrs. Cant said
Hayes apparently took sides with
the other boy and began to man.
handle her son. Mrs. Cant added
that another son called her to the
scene. When she arrived, Mrs.
Cant said, Hayes struck her and
then waved knife at her in a
threatening manner. Mrs. Gant
explained that Hayes ran to
his car and got a rifle and shot
at her. She added that the bullet
struck parked car and dented its
body. Officers Charles Thomas
and John Westmoreland were the
arreSting officers.
In his defense, Hayes told the
court Mrs. Giants son had
thrown a bottle at the other boy
which struck his home, broke
into pieces some Of which almost
glanced into his eye. Hayes de-
clared that he was only trying
TO make peace between the two
young boys. Hayes admitted
shooting his rifle but the he
merely shot into the air to frigh-
ten off Mrs. Cant, her daughter
and son, whom he said hac
snged up on him.
Warning that such promiscuou.
shooting endangers the lives Of
innocent people, Judge johnson
found Hayes guilty and fined hin
500 or 40 days in jail.
Among other cases heard anc
disposed of were the following:

Star Stan Correspondent

OCEAN CITY. Md. July 10.
-Ninety-nine men in 80 boats
went to sea yesterday to catch
white marlin and only one
caught a fish.
The lucky and skillful angler
was Luis de Hoyos, a perfume
executive who was fishing for
the Rod and Reel Club of
Panama in the 18th annual
International Light Tackle
Tournament going into its sec
ond day here. 1t was De Hoyos'
first white marlin, and, because
he caught it on 15-pound test
line thereby qualifying it for
the 20-pound test class, his
team has 100 points toward the
championship.
Now De Hoyos Of Monticello,
N. Y. a proponent of salt water
angling with fresh water tackle,
proposes to go out tomorrow
and catch another white mar
lin on regulation bait-casting
equipment.
Used Lighter Tackle
Considering the light tackle
that tournament trollers use
consists of a fairly heavy salt
water rod. a fairly large reel
and 20 to 30-pound test line
whereas his fresh water outfit
was designed for bass or perch
1t would be no mean feat.

CLUB SCORES
Light TockIe Anglers
Get Only One Marlin

Don't think he can't do it.
Two years ago he whipped an
80-pound sailfish with a bait
casting outfit at Pinas Bay,
Panama. in what he calls his
toughest catch
Last year he boated q 37la-
pound dolphin on a plug and a
24-pound dolphin on a fly rod
at Island Morada, Fla.
This is de Hoyos' first year in
the light tackle tournament.
Fishing from Capt. Fish Pow
ellis Mira-a-mor. he boated his
white marlin in only seven
minutes.
One Other Hooked
It was one of the few marlin
seen. Barney Forgeson. also
from Panama, who was fishing
with Port Arkansas CTexas) Rod
and Reel Club, fought one for
"a minutes only to have the
hook pull out as the mate
reached out for the leader.
AS to the scarcity of fish in
this tournament, de Hoyos, like
all others. was philosophical.
Osbourn Owings of Washing
ton, the chairman, pointed out
that this week was picked after
a study of fishing results here
for the last five years.
The men continue to fish to-
day and Friday. The women
will have their innings to-
morrow.

ILuttreII Suit
lis Decided
For Nashville

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. July 10
(R.-Lyle Luttrell. former in
fielder with the Washington
Senators, has lost the $1,000
Judgment he previously won
against the Nashville Club Of
the Southern Association for
the broken jaw he suffered in
a fight with Earl Averill, jr.,
during a Chattanooga-Nash-
vile baseball game two years
ago. The $4,000 judgment
against Averill still stands.
The Tennessee Court of Ap-
peals threw out the judgment
against the club awarded by a
Hamilton County Circuit Court
jury in a decision written by
Judge Peabody Howard of
IOLldLOd1lOOSd.
Luttrell sought damages from
both Averill, the Nashville
catcher at the time of the in
cident. and the Nashville Club.
He was awarded both by the
Circuit Court. but the club APP
pealed. Averill did not.
The assault Averill made
upon Luttrell the Court of APP
peals held. was neither Incl
dent to nor in the furtherance
of his employers business. 1t
seems to be the rule generally
that a master is not liable for
the willful acts of his servant
who steps aside from his mas
ter's business and commits an
act wholly independent and
foreign to the scope Of his en-
ployment."
