THE MIAMI HERALD May 16, 1973 Renick's Trip Cost: 'All' Paid But $401 By TOM MORGANTHAU Herald Staff Writer School Board records show that board member Robert Renick collected $401.50 in public funds for his expenses during a five-day convention which he attended only one day. Renick, who says he fell ill shortly after arriving in Anaheim, for a National School Boards Association convention April 5, said Tuesday he stayed in his hotel room April 6 and 7, then left for Las Vegas on the evening of April 8. He said he went to Las Vegas, where he stayed two days before returning to Miami, to find a doctor. But he admitted that his stopover in the Nevada gambling center was planned before he left Miami April 5. RENICK, criticized by fellow board member Phyllis Miller for collecting expenses for the trip, announced at an April 18 board meeting he would pay all his bills himselfi, has come to my attention that a certain faction on the School Board thought that at a recent convention I wasted the taxpayers' money," Renick that meeting.
"On the second day of the convention, I became ill and was confined to bed and because of this I was unable to attend all the functions scheduled. Upon my return to Miami, I was immediately the convention to go to Mexico, a charge that Renick denies. If Renick was ill, she said, adding that she has no reason to doubt his claim, he is entitled to reimbursem*nt. She also said she now believes he did not go to Mex1CO. RENICK SAID he was hospitalized on returning to Miami for treatment of polycythemia, a disease which causes the body to manufacture an oversupply of red blood cells.
"When I left Miami I felt all right," he said. "When I got to Anaheim I felt poorly. It's like being a diabetic. You start feeling weak and dizzy. There's nothing you can do." Renick's physician, Dr.
Edward St. Mary, said he treated Renick periodically for polycythemia. But, he said, the disease should not incapacitate the patient. "He'd get a headache from it and he'd feel sluggish," St. Mary said.
"He'd just feel uncomfortable. "Many people have this and don't even know it," he said. "They'd be able to function perfectly well." Renick said Tuesday he would correct his April 18 statement at today's School Board meeting. But, he said, "I should go down there and fill out a voucher for all my expenses. I'm entitled to it.
If I got sick, I got sick. But I'm not going to do i it." Burning of Evidence Frees Mom Convicted of Pushing Frees Pushing narcotics, implements and lottery tickets in her apartment, the woman was ordered held without bail. Sepe convicted her mother of drug charges in April 1971 and sentenced her to years in prison. As Mrs. Robinson reported to Lowell where she enrolled in high school, her lawyers appealed the case first to the District Court and then to the Florida Supreme Court.
When both courts upheld the conviction, Dade court clerks who were ordered to store the drugs as evidence, notified state prosecutors they planned to burn it. IN DECEMBER, one year after the Third District Court upheld the conviction and one month after prosecutors were notified, the drugs were hauled to the city of Miami incinerator along with the evidence from 258 other cases and was burned. By that time, however, Mrs. Robinson had taken her case to federal court and on March 26 she was granted a new trial, based on her argument that her public defenders were not prepared for her trial. Tuesday, when Sepe called the case for a re-trial, Prosecutor Graves announced the state had no evidence.
Ahern, angered that Mrs. Robinson served less than two years of the sentence, vowed Tuesday to renew his investigation of the woman. "We'll get her again within two months," he predicted. Besides teaching ker son, Larry, the rules of her trade, Ahern said, Mrs. Robinson "recuited everyone else in her family to peddle for her," Ahern said.
A second son, Barry Brown, is serving two life sentences for robbery and parole violation and once before was sentenced to life. During her brief tenure at Lowell, Mrs. Robinson proudly informed the judge, she completed four years of high school work in three months. Prison teachers who graded her awarded her a 90 per cent in "social service." 2 With Interest Conflicts To Quit Model City Board Two Model City board members who violated federal conflict of interest laws said Tuesday they will resign from the board, and a Model City a agency spokesman said an investigation will be made to determine if there are other conflicts. Adelle Dillard and Leroy Washington said they will resign rather than give up their jobs after they were ruled in violation of a law that prohibits people employed by an agency from planning, monitoring, evaluating or voting on funds for that agency.
Mrs. Dillard, who works full-time for the Model City Development and Washington, who works part-time for a model city funded cultural arts program at Miami Dade Community College, voted on program funding levels May 7. ISRAEL MILTON, assistant director of the Model City program, said the agency DEATHS Robert Renick criticized hospitalized. "Therefore, be because I was unable to completely accomplish my purpose in attending the convention, I paid for all my own expenses." BUT BOARD records show that public paid Renick's $307 plane ticket, his $45 convention registration fee, and that he received $49.50 for meals and cab fare. Renick said Tuesday that his original statement was intended to refer only to his expenses in Anaheim, not to travel costs.
He said he paid his own hotel bills and the cost of renting a car while in California. Mrs. Miller said she criticized Renick's spending of School Board money for the trip because she was told in Anaheim that Renick had left Betty Robinson three generations lice added. Sepe ordered the 35-yearold woman to prison in 1971 after three police raids on apartment at 1718 NW Second Ct. During the first raid, Miami Oficer Mike Ahern said, Mrs.
Robinson popped a package into her mouth when police arrived at her home and served her with a search warrant. Ahern attempted to retrieve the package, he said, but Mrs. Robinson resisted and a fight broke out. The front of her dress ripped open 1 and 10 bags of cocaine, 50 syringes, a vial of cocaine and a package of marijuana all fell out of her bra, Ahern said. When Ahern finally forced open the woman's mouth, he said, he recovered 13 foilwrapped packages of heroin Mrs.
Robinson apparently was trying to swallow. Normally, Ahern said, 13 packages of heroin would be a lethal dose, but because they were wrapped in foil, the packets would eventually pass out of her body without dissolving in her stomach. Mrs. Robinson was arrested, but quickly posted bond and was released from jail. IN DECEMBER, Ahern said, police raided her home again and this time found her sitting on a bag containing marijuana and 100 syringes.
Again Mrs. Robinson was arrested, posted bond and was freed. After a third raid in February, when police found will look at the members of each of the seven task forces to determine if they are violating the law. If they are found in violation, they will be asked to resign their jobs or give up their task force memberships. The task forces oversee the 64 model city programs.
An executive board meeting to discuss ways of preventing further violations will be held at 7 p.m. today in the old Model City office, 6207 NW 27th Ave. Mrs. Dillard said she would resign from the board because, "I can always serve my community without serving on the board." WASHINGTON SAID resigning from the board in the event of a conflict of interest "has always been position. The cultural type of program is my type of work."

BRIDGE charles goren nine tricks at no trump, provided that West led a heart. South accordingly jumped to three to trump which became the final contract. West gave careful consideration to his opening shot. If he led the queen of hearts to dislodge the king, he would probably establish five tricks for himself in that suit.
However, West lacked a quick card of reentry and he feared that the unit of time surrendered to the declarer, by giving the latter a trick at the outset, might deal the defense a fatal blow. West decided to lead from his sequence in diamonds in the hope of finding his partner with something in that suit. The king of diamonds was opened and East signaled encouragement with the seven. When the king held, West continued with the queen on which South dropped the jack. A third round of diamonds enabled East to mop up the suit, and now a heart shift thru declarer's king turned the deal into a total rout.
The defense scored four diamond tricks and six hearts for a net profit of 600 points. If West had led the queen of hearts originally, South would have taken all 13 tricks. Gen. James L. Price killed in crash Gen.
Price; Lightning Hit Plane HOLLAND PATENT, N.Y. (AP) Maj. Gen. James L. Price, 51, commanding officer of the 21st Region of the North American Air Defense Command, was killed Tuesday when his F106 jet was struck by lightning and crashed.
The crash occurred near Holland Patent a Central New York community. Price, a 32-year veteran of military service, was commanding officer of the 21st Air Division, which is headquartered at Hanco*ck Air Force Base in North Syracuse. Witnesses reported seeing a "ball of fire" in the sky as the plane plunged to earth. Wreckage was scattered over a one-mile area. Officials said Price was on a routine training flight with members of the 49th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron at Griffiss.
The squadron is a unit of the 21st Division and the 21st Region, North American Air Defense Command. Price, a native of Hornersville, became commander in February 1972 and quickly became a well-known figure in the Syracuse area with his community-relations efforts.

VAN ORSDEL GRATIGNY ROAD CHAPEL 770 NW 119 St. Burial Southern Memorial Park. By JUNE KRONHOLZ Herald Staff Writer A convicted Miami heroin pusher who police said learned her trade from her mother and was teaching it to her son, was freed from a year prison term Tuesday when state prosecutors announced their evidence against her had been burned. "Don't thank me," Judge Alfonso C. Sepe told Betty Brown Robinson as he freed her from prison Tuesday.
"This is not something I want to do. You don't deserve it. Your crime deserves a life sentence." Sepe angrily freed Mrs. Robinson, the mother of nine children, after state prosecutors told him their evidence against the woman includ1ng packets of heroin, cocaine and marijuana was burned by court clerks last December. ORDERED BY A federal court to either re-try her or allow her to go free, prosecutor Fred Graves told the judge that without the evidence the state had no case.
"The only consolation I have in releasing you is that I'm confident the police are going to be looking for you," Sepe told the woman. "And whatever judgment you receive from the courts will be nothing like you'll receive from God." Miami officers who compiled a 100-page report on Mrs. Robinson and her activites during three years of investigations, called her Tuesday "one of the largest heroin dealers on the streets." Known to her addicts as "Fat Betty," Mrs. Robinson inherited her heroin business from her mother in 1969 after the elderly, often-convicted woman committed suicide in the Miami River, police said. FOR THE NEXT three years, until she finally was ordered to Lowell Prison, Mrs.
Robinson was one of the lieutenants in the Ernest Nelson heroin ring and patiently taught her son, Larry, to follow her lead, po- PEARCE HORACE 63, of 4161 West 2 Hialeah, passed away Tues. at the Homestead Airforce Base.
