Ill Hillsborough County School Supt. Raymond Shelton yesterday asked the FBI to aid in the investigation of two recent school fires.

Shelton also said the county probably will be able to rebuild the burned-out main building of Middleton High School on the same site. There were reports that, since the school served an all-Negro student body, federal guidelines might prohibit reconstruction which would prolong segregation. Shelton said, "If the FBI will assume some jurisdiction, I would like to have them join in the investigation." J. F. Santoiana, special agent in charge of the FBI's Tampa office, said he would first have to determine whether some of the destroyed equipment was still under federal authority before he could enter the probe.

Accused Killer Of Two Weeps At Court Hearing Dibble told the board that he had been advised by the Atlanta office of the Housing and Urban Development Agency that revenue certificates, in lieu of bond, would be acceptable for the $250,000 loan that will be necessary to finance the 35-bed addition to the hospital.

DIBBLE ALSO SAID that Gene Page of the Division ol Community Hospitals had informed him that the Advisory Council would meet on Jan. 16 in Tallahassee and would probably approve the eligibility of the hospital building plan for a Hill-Harris grant. Time is an important factor now as "bricks must be laid by this fall if we are to qualify for the Hill-Harris grant," Dibble! said. Dibble also reported that Johnson Savory, attorney, had filed a brief on behalf of the hospital with the State Atty. Gen.

Earl Faircloth with respect to the "roll back" law. Savory contends that the hospital is entitled to seven mills of the county tax voted in 1966 despite the fact the board agreed to accept .35 mills in 1967 for operational expenses.

Charged on two counts of first degree murder in the fatal Sunday night shooting of his wife and a male companion, McMurray won a continuance of a preliminary hearing. He told District 2 Justice of the Peace David F.

Patterson he lacks funds to hire an attorney. RACKED by emotion, the 250-pound McMurray told Patterson he lives on a small disability pension, and estimated "I have about $100 in the bank." An automobile and a trailer are registered in his late wife's name. Patterson appointed the Pinellas Public Defender's office to represent McMurray, and set Jan. 16 at 1:30 p.m. for preliminary hearing.

McMurray, 43, is charged with firing a single shot from a 'high-powered rifle, killing his wife, Isabelle Patricia, 47, and Chester Dale Sickels, 40, a Madeira Beach carpenter.

They said the national average is about $G15 per pupil, according to Slade, which would mean the state would spend under the commission plan about $740 million a year on schooling or about $300-million more than it does now. The full commission meeting will be held in Orlando Jan. 23, six days before the special session of the Legislature on education is expected to begin.

The drafting team also agreed yesterday that it is the commission's desire to have the state float a bond issue large enough to absorb all counties' outstanding school bonds and also to pay for catching up on all school building needs. The commission has recom mended that at least a 4 per cent sales tax be levied with all exemptions in that tax being closed except those on food and drugs to pay for the school improvements.
