 The two men had an argument at an ice service station on Con- gress avenue. It was testified to in court that Baker warned Ur- banitis to remain away from the place.

Atlanta, Ga, July 28.-(UP)- Democrats in at least three states of the "solid democratic' old south will sympathize with Mississippi's state democratic committee in re- fusing to endorse the prohibition repeal plank in the national plat form.
 While these states may not go quite so far as the committee in ''refusing to endorse" they will be with the committee in spirit at least by simply Ignoring" the party's plank, 1t was indicated today.
 The Mississippi committee voted to support the party's candidates but defeated a motion to endorse the platform, and adopted, instead. a platform in which the prohibition question was ignored.

Tennessee and Alabama leaders indicated they would choose to ignore the repeal plank. Prohibi- ton will not be an issue in those states. 1t was said.

the court that he and his wife be-
came rich when they struck oil on

our lands began producing oil at
the rate of 100 barrels a day." he
testified.
