Rear Adm. Workman, was Navy's chaplain director Rear Adm. Robert DuBois Workman, 92, director of the Navy's chaplains division during World War II, died Monday at the Chester County Hospital in West Chester, Pa. Admiral Workman retired from the Navy in 1947 after 32 years of active duty in the chaplains' division. He had lived near San Diego until last year, when he and his wife moved to Pennsylvania, near their children.

He supervised recruiting, training and assignment of more than 1,800 Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard chaplains from 1937 through 1945. In 1945, upon leaving his post as commander of chaplains, he received the Navy's Legion of Merit from President Harry S. Truman for meritorious service. A funeral with full military honors will be held today at the Fort Myer Chapel at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, where Admiral Workman will be buried. rm rr 0 -s 1 iST" gtf ii 11 HI' 1 it iii iio-tlf 111 mil in illiiiniT- MMfifa--2 The paperwork has to be done some time Rolando Semino of Miami wasn't too flustered after an acci- struck a disabled vehicle in the center of a freeway, causing the dis-dent Wednesday to fill out an accident form while waiting for an am- abled vehicle to explode.

A city scrambles to spend windfall Associated Prats WINTER PARK Still puzzling over what to do with a federal windfall, officials of this small but fashionable Central Florida town are trying to crank up 20 projects so the money won't be withdrawn. A municipality with a population of about 20,000 next to Orlando, Winter Park received word a couple of weeks ago that it would get the money from the Economic Development Administration. It had only requested $883,500 for a new library, and the federal grant announcement came as a shock to city commissioners, who were given until July 13 to come up with a list of projects or lose the money. Several officials said the money will lead to waste and profiteering, and one commissioner suggested only half seriously Tuesday that the city refuse it on patriotic grounds. But commissioners decided to declare a "state of emergency" to circumvent public hearings so they can get bid requests on 20 projects by the July 13 deadline.

"Maybe we ought to pioneer this thing of turning the money down," Commissioner Harold H. Roberts said. But later, Roberts said he was just "being philosophical." Among the 20 projects the commission is considering are the library, construction of a second floor to the police station, a parking lot for the fire department, tennis courts, a bike path, a $400,000 grandstand at the city's baseball field, $200,000 worth of repairs to the sewage treatment plant and paving and drainage of a number of streets and intersections.

So, Kay told a newspaper reporter about his problem, and after a story appeared Tuesday he found out quickly that hundreds of nonprofit organizations are eager for the liquor. They can give it away to their friends, obviously in hope of donations. "I got to my office by 9 a.m. and already there were 20 messages about it," he laughed. "It never dawned on me that this would happen.

Just every bottle was spoken for by 20 minutes after I got here." MIAMI Ed Kay thought he had a problem: How do you legally give away 20 cases of liquor? Just get the word out and be ready to answer the telephone. Kay, a vice president at Glenmore Distilleries' national marketing office here, is closing the office and had to find a way to unload the liquor, which was used for "charitable and tasting purposes." The problem was that it is against the law to take it across state lines, to sell it, or to give it to anyone who might sell it in away Tuesday, June 21, 1977.

The current election law, which remains in effect until Jan. 1, does not require disclosure of occupations and does not prohibit contributions to a politician in another person's name. Smathers said the rule forbids hidden contributions. 50-100 crop loss feared MARIANNA Florida Panhandle farmers told state agriculture officials Wednesday that West Florida crops will be "anywhere from 50 to 100 per cent wiped out" unless the areas gets a lot of rain soon.

Even though 2 inches of rain were dumped on some areas near here when Agriculture Commissioner Doyle Conner and some of his staff arrived, farmers said the spotty shower came too late to help the corn crop. Peanuts and soybeans still have a chance if more rain comes, they said. A request for federal assistance is being drafted. Gov.

Judge seeks aid for his appeal JACKSONVILLE Circuit Judge Samuel S. Smith of Lake City has asked the government to pay for his appeal of a conviction for possessing and conspiring to distribute 1,600 pounds of marijuana. Smith, 54, filed a motion in U.S. District Court saying he cannot pay for the appeal, which would include $6,000 for a transcript of his four-week trial.

Smathers imposed an emergency rule on testimonial dinners Wednesday, but said that it may not apply to a recent affair in which Senate President Lew Brantley raised as much as $25,000. Smathers said the rule will require Brantley to report contributions received at the testimonial in Jacksonville Tuesday only if he uses the money to finance a campaign.

Smathers said he implemented the rule to fill a gap before a new election law takes effect Jan. 1. The new law prohibits politicians from holding testimonials unless they are announced candidates. About 1,000 persons attended Brantley's testimonial. Tickets cost $25 each, and Brantley said he hopes to raise $250,000 to finance a future campaign.

Brantley reportedly is interested in running for treasurer-insurance commissioner, but he told the testimonial audience he is not ready to announce his plans. Smathers rule requires politicians who hold testimonials to report the names and addresses of donors and the amounts they gave If contributors gave more than $100, they would be required to report their ue kb, iex two brothers, Jesse, of Bethesda, Md, and David, ot Rock vise, a sister, Ruth J.
