Odom's last words on Okahumpka rape tale end in silence
Wiley Sam Odom, 19, who claimed knowledge of a Okahumpka rape, was executed last Friday. He recanted his story, saying it was a ploy to gain time, and pointed to another man before the chair. The case involved Melvin Hawkins and an alleged white attacker in Okahumpka, with investigations led by Lake county officials and Governor Collins.

Government stockpile waste cited by Rep Herlong
Rep. A. S. Syd Herlong Jr warns in a weekly message that the defense stockpile has cost the government about 8 billion dollars with a third of a billion for nickel and that nearly a billion remains obligated for unwanted materials. He notes GSA renegotiated aluminum contracts saving over 96 million and an agreement with International Nickel Co of Canada to avoid a 26 million pound nickel purchase. He calls for further reductions and to get the government off the hook while acknowledging some progress toward a sounder stockpile basis.
