Three more runs were chalked up by St. Joe in the fourth, one in the fifth, two in the seventh and f four in the eighth, to take the .tilt 11-1. The invaders made their lone tally' in the sixth when the first man up got a pne-baggler to right field, stole second, and went to third on a wild throw to second by Bert Cox, Saint catcher. The second Oysterman to bat hit a slow roller to first, which was fumbled by Belin and the runner came In from third. Lefty Thomason pitched an ex- cellent game, giving no walks and securing six strikeouts. Had it not been for the two errors he would have had a shutout.

On Need of State Budget Director Governor Caldlwell and Members of Cabinet Opposed To Change From Present System A revolutionary step in Florida. state government, on November's general election 'ballot for, public decision, already is causing a stir throughout the state. especially in official circles at. Tallahassee. The question is whether the legislature shall choose, a budget director, responsible only to tlk e lawmakers and with,.a term of of- fice not necessarily limited to four years of most -state offices. The legislature hasn't elected a public officer since an amendment to the federal constitution took away from state assemblies the selec- tion of United States senators. Just what is meant by the term "budget director" is a definition which the legislature must also work out if the people write that amendment into the constitution. A budget director can be merely a gatherer of figures for other peo- ple to use, or he can be a final arbiter of public spending with veto power over estimates of a-e- partmental and agency bosses.

It is believed that Hayes fell asleep at the wheel. i Legion Is Behind Move To Secure Guard Unit Here Has Taken On Job To Recruit Al Least One Hundred Men In This Section At the regular meeting of Willis V. Rowan Post 116, American Le- gion, held Tuesday night, it was I voted unanimously to get behind I the movement to secure' a Nationas Guard unit .for Port St. Joe. Plans are to recruit at least 100 men between the ages of 18 and 35 years of age, and those desiring to sign up are urged to do so at once, as time is getting short. Be- ginning Monday, an application book will be at Schenider's Depart- ment Store, and those wishing to join are asked to drop by and sign up. It is pointed out that the placing of a unit here will bring into th-' coiai. unity a payroll of about $1-,- 000 yearly and in addition the city will be in line for an armory cost- ing about $125,000. If Port St. Joe should be assigned a unit, it la planned to use the Centennial Building .as an armory 'until such time as the war department con- itr'acs :1 building. Chances are excellent for secur- ing a-unit here, as Florida's post- war National Guard, has been in- creased to 9,541 officers and men, including elements of two di- visions.

State Labor Act Violated Says Attorney General Attorney General Tom Watson said Monday that Florida "unions are, without many exceptions, ut- terly .disregarding and ignoring" the 1943 state labor regulation. act. The statute requires unions to register their names, offices and business tgentg with the secretary of state and pay a one dollar an- nual registration fee. The law also prohibits lees of more than $15 for joining a union, requires labor organizations to keep financial ae- counts ,. en for inspection of their memberss, prohibits collection of back pEy: ent of dues by veterans for the time they served in the military forces, and places other restrict ons on union operations. Watson sated. that only two unions have complied with the law. He estimated there are between 7,50 and 1000 local unions in the state.

The budget board, under the present system, consists of the governor and the six other mem- bers of the cabinet-the secretary of state, commissioner of agricul- ture, state treasurer, attorney gen- eral, comptroller -and school super- intendent. These officers control at first hand: the spending of 56 per cent of the state's money in their own departments and, indirectly thru service on other 'boards or the ap- pointing of members, the disburs- ing of a great deal more. The legislators at their last ses- sion, along with submitting the constitutional amendment to the electorate,, required aIL agencies to submit estimates of needs and in- structed the comptroller to fur- nish detailed breakdowns of ex. penditures and revenues for each agency. Prior to this enactment, lawmakers had' complained that the budget submitted to the legis- lature by the budget commission encompassed 'but a part of the ac- tivities of government, omitting those financed, within themselves by fees ond licenses. At a recent meeting of the cabi- net Secretary of State R. A.

Thos. D. Beasley of DeFuniak Springs ac- cepted the. nomination as speaker of the 1947. Florida house of r.;p- resentatives. (His nomination was. merely a formality, since he was designated at the 1945 legislative kiession.) In his speech of acceptance Beasley called for revision of the state constitution, higher salaries for school teachers', central state purchasing, better budget proce- dure, and careful husbanding of the state's record cash balances.' -Beasley stated that the constitu-' tion adopted in 1885 is out of date and is "almost worn out" by more than 70 amendments. He recom- mended calling a constitutional convention to arrange for revision of the state's 'basic law. The caucus adopted a resolution in .favor of making "substantial raises for school teachers and school attaches" one of the first items of business for the 1947 legislative session. The caucus also moved to put a stop to the practice of designating its speakers far in advance of the legislature. It adopted a resolution pledging all candidates for the 1949 speakership to defer their campaigning until May 31, 1948- just three days, after Democratic nomination of 1949 members. Four announced, candidates for the 1949 post already had started their cam- paigns. A DIFFERENCE "Now. really, Private, in civilian life, would you.come to me with a trivial complaint like this?"
