AN ATTORNEY'S ADVICE Student Achievement On High Level Asked By ART BEAUCHAMP Times Staff Writer There's a movement under way to increase the statute of limitations for felonies and on crimes which carry a maximum pen alty of life imprisonment. Escambia County Solicitor Henry R. Barks dale of Pensacola disclosed the plan at the Florida Attorneys' Beauchamp Assoc iation conference in Tampa last weekend. Barksdale's proposal would not change the statute of limitations on misdemeanors which is two years. He proposes that the statute of limitations on felonies be increased from two to five years and on crimes carrying up to life in prison from two years to 10 years.

There is no statute of limitations on capital offenses such as first degree murder and rape. A bill embracing Barks-dale's recommendations will a 0 1 2 If to 01 to in 9 5 05 Wwfr JlMLi rfTYmd Tampa's Urban Renewal Agency this week passed the $1 million mark in purchase agreements signed for the Maryland Avenue redevelopment project. A. R. Ragsdale, chairman of the UR commission, said that through yesterday $1,138,000 in purchase agreements had been made since acquisitions began last November.

Of that amount, Ragsdale said, approximately $800,000 in purchases have been closed and title cleared. The million-dol lar figure represents U3 par cels or "about 45 per cent of the total, he said. "We will try to complete acquisitions for the Maryland Avenue project in 1963," Ragsdale said, "but tiiat doesn't mean we will do it." The Maryland Avenue proj ect, whose land will be sold to be developed by private enterprise, is comprised of approximately 64 acres located east of Nebraska Avenue and south of East Broadway Avenue. Ragsdale said the commission this week discussed the possibility of expanding the boundaries of the project slightly "to straighten up our present boundary lines." He said a survey is being run on the east, north and west sides of the project area to de termine the expansion. The UR chairman also point ed out that progress is expected to continue on the Maryland Avenue setup with the opening by city officials next Tuesday of bids for the demolition of the first 26 structures acquired by UR.

Mediator Plans Florida Rail Strike Talks JACKSONVILLE, March 7 (P) A federal mediator plans separate talks with Florida East Coast Railway officials and union representatives today to see if there is any basis on which to negotiate a settlement of a strike now in its seventh week. The mediator, James Holaren, said he was making another effort to get the parties to agree on a plan to end the walkout which came after the FEC refused a 10.28 cent wage boost asked by 11 non-operating unions. Holeran has tried twice previously to get the parties to settle their dispute. Some 2,000 FEC workers, including 1,200 striking union members have been idled since Jan. 23.

The FEC disclosed yesterday in St. Augustine that it lost $1,242,726 last year, compared to a deficit of $1,386,887 in 1961. But losses in the final three months of 1962 were $97,879, compared to only $10,890 in the corresponding 1961 period. THE STORE WITH TV I ft 1 i 'I'V rjp 4 4 and sales jobs. I'm certain there will be many more incentives for students," Mrs.

Roach continued. "It's' difficult for a child to realize somewhere along his educational career that he has reached a point from which he can go on further," she said, adding that this same problem has caused a psychological "block" of sorts in the minds of some Negro teachers. Statewide Negro education goals coincide with those of local teachers and vice versa, Mrs. Roach said. "THE PROBLEM of greatest concern to our profession is the performance of our seniors on the statewide 12th grade tests," she emphasized.

Now that the state has abandoned its double standard of grading, she said, Negro educators have had to face up to the fact that Negro students' achievement levels have been "poor" in comparison. "We have not before known the relative standing of these two groups of students," she said, "and this Is of great concern now to all parents and teachers." "IT MAKES US more aware of the opportunities that need to be provided. We don't think it should begin in the 12th grade. It is a problem of books, home study, parent cooperation with the schools," Mrs. Roach added.

Negro teachers, she said, have made up their minds that the gap will be bridged. Thus the concern around the state for establishment of new goals and new thinking. Mrs. Roach, who married Cato Roach, well known Broward County principal, last year, will end her second continuous term of office as local FSTA president in May. And when school closes she'll move to Fort Lauderdale with her husband.

She'll leave behind an impressive record of service in Hillsborough County. A TEACHER and administrator here for 18 years, Mrs. Roach is a Tennessee native. She holds a masters degree from Atlanta University and has studied student personnel and administration at the University of Chicago and Teachers College at Columbia University. She participated in the 1955 White House Conference on Education and has attended the universities of Michigan and Minnesota for further professional training.

She has been supervisor for Negro schools in Manatee County and currently is a part-time counselor for Gibbs Junior College in St. Petersburg. An immediate past vice president of the Tampa Urban League, Mrs. Roach is one of the initial members of Florida Council on Human Relations and has been a member of the state department of education's advisory council on teacher education.

Here in the county this work is being carried out by the local unit of the Florida State Teachers Association, which is headed by Mrs. Margaret Blake Roach, a veteran Tampa educator. Mrs. Roach, assistant principal at Howard W. Blake High School, named for her late husband, pointed out that the local FSTA unit, which has about 500 members, has placed its emphasis on raising Negro student achievement levels.

"WE ARE AIMING at the elimination dropouts," pointed out Mrs. Roach, "and we are emphasizing the instruction of reading through in-service clinics for our teachers." Education must be made meaningful to Negro students, Mrs. Roach explained, for some of the necessary reforms to come about. "In all educational pursuits we are motivated by vocational opportunities, and certainly the job opportunities that come at the end of a formal training period for our students is something we have to reckon with," she said.
