lJenicoln News Friday, April 23, 1965 Council Land for Votes to Acquire Community Center 1 I it SS, who wants it," said Reed. He provided a similar service last year and some council-men did, and some did not, take advantage of it. The City Council agreed, by 7-3 vote, to go ahead with a test of a paper bag refuse collection system on about 10 per cent of the residences in the city under an agreement with St. Regis Paper Co. Cost to the city will be about $29,000 if the test is successful and the plan is extended to the whole city, but St.

Regis has agreed to buy back the bag holders, about $13,000 worth, if the test proves unsuccessful. Thoroughbreds Flee Fire LEXINGTON, Ky. A group of thoroughbred horses runs across a field on the Manchester Farm, in the heart of the Bluegrass horse-breeding country near Lexington, as smoke pours from a barn fire that killed 22 horses. This picture, made by Larry Spitzer of the Louisville Courier-Journal, was taken shortly after the fire broke out. Damage was estimated at $750,000 by the owner, Duvall Headley.

Cause of the blaze was not immediately determined. (Ptnsacoli Ntwl AP Wlrtphoto) Senate Passes UF Veterinary Bill The Senate also passed a bill which included Sen. Reu-bin Askew of Pensacola as one of those introducing the measure which provides for a comprehensive study of the construction industry. The measure now goes to the House. It provides for the Legislative Council to make this study for the next two years and then to make recommendations at the 1967 session of the legislature.

Holland Fights LBJ Voter Bill WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Spessard Holland, criticized yesterdav the voting rights bill's stipulation that the Attorney General's findings on a voting formula was final and could not be appealed. In a senate debate, Holland asked if there was any other law where a determination of a cabinet member is final, without any recourse to the courts. He challenged judiciary committee figures supporting the bill showing that five Florida would be covered by one automatic triggering section of the bill authorizing federal registration of voters in any state or county where less than 25 per cent of the Negro population is registered. Holland told the senate that registration figures supplied by the Civil Rights Commission were outdated.

On the basis of November reg istration, he said, only two small counties would be covered. Holland said Negro registra tion amounted to more than 25 per cent in Gadsden and Jefferson counties between March 1964 and November. 1 Sen. George Hollahan of Miami, who introduced the measure, said the contractors, the architects and others connected with the construction industry have expressed an interest in this study being made so that legislation beneficial to the industry can be adopted in 1967. Also passed and sent to the House was the bill relating to the practice of veterinary medicine.

While zoning was under discussion, Councilman Arthur Bowman told fellow council members he had misunderstood the intent of a proposed legislative act which he, along with two other councilmen, had urged the legislature to pass. Bowman said that while he was in favor of annexation "I very much object to bringing in any area by force." The act, which subsequently was given an unfavorable committee report in the legislature, provided a means for the cities to take in additional territory by ordinance under certain conditions. City Manager Homer D. Reed, apparently remembering some criticisms of two years ago that he was participating in the city election, announced last night his office will supply factual information on any subject pertaining to the city to any Candidate for council offices.

"My office will serve only one function in this election and that is to provide information to any councilman or council candidate Committee Okays Out-of-state Barbers' Bill News-Journal Bureau TALLAHASSEE Barbers coming into Florida from out of state would have to conform to Florida aee and educational re- jquirements before they could receive a Florida barber's li cense under a bill approved by the House Public Health Committee this morning. It was one of five bills introduced by Rep. George Stone and given unanimous approval by the committee. Under present laws, an out-of-state barber moving to Florida can obtain a Florida license if he can show proof of barber ing for five years. Under the provisions of the bill given committee approval today, he would have to meet the requirements of a 10th grade education and age 17, as well as pass other Florida tests.

It would eliminate license by proof of barbering in the other states. The second bill is (resigned to force apprentices to apply for a barber's license. Those with three or more years as an apprentice by July 1 could take only the demonstration test to qualify for a license. They could take the test three times or more with special per-mis- sion. The original bill had given them one chance at the dem onstration, then required the full oral and written exams.

Apprentices with less than three years after July must still take the full test within 6 months after they have completed 18 months as an apprentice. A third bill changes the re quirement of instruction at bar ber schools from 1,000 to hours to be taken within 18 months rather than the 12 now required. The bill originally raised the education requirement to high school completion or equivalent. By PAUL JASPER The City Council voted 10-0 last night to proceed with aquisition of the land and construction of the long pending E. S.

Cobb Community Center. Total cost is expected to be about $170,000, including some $25,000 for the land and the remainder for the building. The Cobb center, named after a well-known Negro physician here, culminates years of effort on the part of the Negro Advisory Committee to the City Recreation Board to obtain a new community building. The center will be on prop- erty bounded by Moreno and Mallory Streets and Sixth and Seventh Avenues. Dr.

Cobb, long-time member of the advisory committee, was present at last night's regular meeting xf the council. Thanking councilmen for naming the center in his honor, he said: "It is going to mean for the community an outlet for bigger and better services to the community." At the request of another member of the advisory committee, the council specified the center would be used "primar-' ily" for youth recreational activ- ities. Council members agreed last night to annex an eight-acre tract of land off Ninth Avenue provided the Baars Estate would bring in several hundred acres more. Proposal that the eight-acre tract be annexed was made at Monday's committee of the whole meeting by Theo Baars who said a developer planned to put up an apartment complex on the site. At that meeting, the council voted to table the whole issue pending agreement from Baars to bring in the remainder of Baars family property in the Ninth Avenue area, but Thursday night this was changed to a definite offer to annex if Baars would agree to bring in all the property pnder a tentative zoning plan outlined at both meetings, or something similar to it.

City Manager Homer D. Reed told the council that without a definite offer to negotiate on the city's part it might be possible for Baars to set up his own utilities (sewer) system in the area.

I Wayne Mason of 7411 Pont Ave drew the sentence after a 'pre sentence investigation was returned today. Judge Beall said was giving Mason the maxi-! mum "primarily because he was living in adultery."

In other action, Henry Hines, no address available, Negro, 41, was sentenced to six months when he pleaded to unlawful escape from custody.

R. B. Thornton, no nge or address available, was sentenced to three months when he pleaded guilty to unlawful escape from custody. James Christopher, 18, of Rt. 1, McDavid, was sentenced to one year in county jail when he pleaded guilty to' larceny of a motor vehicle.

Judge Beall suspended sentence en two youths when they pleaded guilty to malicious mischief provided they make resti tution. Richard Lambert, 17, of il09 Georgia and Larenee Courtney, 19, of 1024 Trenton Dr. received the suspended sentences. Robert O'Neil, 3fi, of 4207 Anthony was fined $.50 for driving while intoxicated.

but that Kitt If the plan is successful, and adopted, it will probably mean an increase of about $75 to a $1 a month in costs for garbage collection, but the council made no decision about how this money would be obtained. Present proposal is to test the system for one year. A formal contract must still be signed. At the suggestion of Councilman Robert C. Duell, a majority of the City Council has approved a change in the zoning act which would prohibit construction of residences in industrial zones in some instances.

The zoning act, now undergoing revision, will be changed to provide that no new residential dwellings can be constructed in either M-l or M-3 industrial Kones unless there is already a residence in a given block. In M-2 zones, any residential construction would be prohibited, since the only M-2 in the city has no residential construction near it. Councilman B. I. Greenhut objected that such a change would benefit only Newport Industries and Armstrong Cork Co.

here, where Duell works, but the change approved by 7-3 vote of the council. Council members also agreed to go ahead, at a subsequent meeting, with adoption of the completely rewritten zoning act. Liquor licenses for two business establishments were approved by the City Council last night, over the objections of two councilmen. One of the licenses will be for a proposed 100-unit motel at Palafox and Cervantes Streets, a part of the Rodeway Inns of America chain, of Phoenix, Ariz. Councilmen Charles H.

Overman Jr. and Robert C. Duell attempted to delay issuance of the license pending further study, but were outvoted by the other eight members of the council. Duell also objected to the issuance of a license to the Royal Package Store, on the southeast corner of Palafox and Maxwell Streets, but the license was approved this time by 9-1 vote. Robert S.

(Bob) Box, manager of Downtown Development was appointed to the Pen- sacola Biracial Committee by the City Council last night. His appointment was recom mended by'other members of the committee to fill a vacancy created by the removal of a former member for non-attendance. The council passed a resolu tion calling for construction of sanitary sewers, to be assessed against the property owners, in the "old" section of the city. The sewer lines would be on Gimble Street, from A to Streets, on Street, from Pine to Gimble Street, and on Street, from Gimble to Pine Street. Cost is expected to be about $4,504, to be assessed against the property owners.

The bill, introduced by Sen.

L. K. Edwards of Irvine, says the school is to be maintained and operated in accordance with standards approved by the nationally recognized veterinary associations for accredited school of veterinary medicine. It authorized the Board of Regents to start planning of school upon the receipt of any funds for such purposes. Edwards said Congress is expected to pass a bill this year to help establish three or four veterinarian schools in the nation.

"We want to be in position to take advantage of this money if it becomes available," he said. Northwest Florida senators who were introducers of the bill were Dewey H. Johnson of Quincy, Clayton Mapoles of Milton, Dempsey Barron of Panama City, Maurice McLaughlin of Fort Walton Beach and Gerrge Tapper of Port St. Joe.

This would be the first contact with the Americans in Viet Cong hands and might lead to other steps to make their lot easier. Both the Pentagon and the American Red Cross said they have no knowledge of the condition of the Americans held by the Communist guerrillas. This may change if regular communication develops.

There is no direct U.S.-Viet Cong link on this matter. It is being handled with the International Red Cross and neutralist Cambodia's Red Cross acting as intermediaries. American Red Cross officials disclosed the moves to The Associated Press as the Defense Department shied away from discussing actions being taken to help the 11 soldiers and two Air Force officers. They are listed as "detained" a term used to avoid calling them captured. "bvery possinie channel is explored to make contact or effect relief," the Pentagon told the AP.

"It might be detrimental to the interests of the prisoners to reveal details or channels," it added.
