I-C Sentinel Star, Friday. April 7, 1971 'Double dipping' unresolved Officials differ on way to lift fund limit ban 'X The objective, he said, is to get Stafford's ruling, if unfavorable, to appeal courts as quickly as possible. Smathers, in seeking a re-hearing, said the temporary injunction is keeping the elections division from enforcing the limit on such groups as "Let's Help Florida," a committee trying to get enough voter's signatures to put on the ballot an amendment to legalize casino gambling. But, he said, it leaves the 67 state attorneys in a legal limbo because they were not enjoined from prosecuting a committee or person who might violate the law, The injunction order also needs clarifying, Smathers said, as to how the state would recover money collected in excess of the legal limit should the law ultimately be ruled constitutional. Every day the injunction is in force, he said, "the evils of unlimited contributions, some not reportable," are unregulated.

It will allow, he said, a committee to spend thousands of dollars for media advertising to endorse six or 60 favored candidates without reporting the expenditure or source of the funds. Urging the judge to dissolve the temporary injunction and proceed to a final decision, Smathers argued that no irreparable harm would be done to the casino gambling committee. On the other hand, he said, the injunction opens the door to all persons to form political committees to favor or oppose an issue which at some future time might find its way to the state ballot. u. t.

1 1 IT fJ it i If $4 i Unilxl Praia lnlrniiWMi DifM'cfe TALLAHASSEE Attorney General Robert She-vin and Secretary of State Bruce Smathers disagreed Thursday on which legal approach might produce the quickest decision on whether Florida's $3,000 limit on campaign contributions to political committees is constitutional. Smathers, the chief state election officer, asked Federal Judge William Stafford for a re-hearing and clarification of his March 29 order temporarily enjoining enforcement of the limit and indicating he probably will rule it invalid. Shevin, the state's chief attorney, declined to join in this motion, saying he will ask Stafford to throw out the temporary injunction and hand down a final decision upholding the contribution limit. "We feel it will be quicker to try to get the whole matter back before Stafford than to seek a re-hear-mg on a temporary injunction," Deputy Attorney General Jim Whisenand said. 1 4 1 M.

"Hi From 1-C Dogs 4. V' Auocieted Preii Dupetch TALLAHASSEE The Cabinet hit an impasse Thursday over whether to allow certain lawmen to receive incentive pay that Gov. Askew calls "double dipping," and thus threw the controversy in the lap of the Legislature. The Cabinet has struggled over the issue for several weeks and appeared no nearer agreement Thursday before it postponed any action until its June meeting after the Legislature is scheduled to have adjourned. The controversy affects about 400 investigators for the state De partment of Criminal Law Enforcement and Florida's state attorneys.

The Legislature appropriated about $1.4 million last year for the program, which was conceived as a method of encouraging law enforcement officers to receive additional training and education. A lawman completing the prescribed education requirements would receive a monthly boost in his paycheck of $80; he would receive a $105 monthly raise for completing the advanced training requirement. However, in no case could a law epforcement officer completing both the education and training requirements receive more than a $130 monthly raise. The controversy revolves around whether the education incentive pay ought to be mada available to investigators working in jobs that require a college degree although the job specifications allow the investigator to substitute experience for the education requirement. Askew contends those investigators already are paid as if they 'met the requirement for a college education, and it would be unfair to college-educated investigators to allow colleagues without college degrees to collect the additional education incentive pay for college courses they might take.

Osceola Update Film festival slates Holmes classic tonight it 1 tl afternoon to give her dog some water. She said when she told the pack of dogs near the puppy to "scram," two of them chased her. Smith made it to her back door unscathed and called her daughter, who called the sheriff's office. Osceola County does not regulate the number of dogs a resident can keep, but says the animals must be kept under control. But Mrs.

Derr Thursday said someone must have let her dogs out of the four-foot-high chain link fence that surrounds the family's mobile home. She said when she left for work, Wednesday morning she latched the fence gate, put two cinder blocks in front of it and dropped a padlock in place but did not lock it. "They were let out," she said. "There's no way they could have gotten that lock out and moved those cinder blocks." Mrs. Derr's husband said he kept so many dogs because a number of them were born with bobtails "and I just wanted to see how they'd turn out." 1L I Denmi W'Mlentintl Iter Heck-ed patience From Sentinel star Bureaus KISSIMMEE The Osceola Art and Culture Center's classic film festival series will continue at 8 tonight with showing of a Sherlock Holmes classic, "Murder at the Baskerville's." and two more short films.

"Teddy at the Throttle" is a comedy brief filmed early in the careers of Wallace Beery and Gloria Swanson. "The Flight of the Penguins" was made in the Antarctic. Center patrons are admitted free to the film presentations and the general public is asked to give a "folding money" donation, said George Beauchamp, chairman of the film committee. Because interest in the films has been high, he said, a bonus event May 5 has been added to the season schedule.
