Highway Il Dispute

In speaking of the routes from Columbus to jack
son, the Columbus Commercial Dispatch says three routes
are available. First to be completely paved is the route
by Meridian. Next will be the Winona route. Third,
and shortest route, the Kosciusko and Durant route
by Highways IL and 81. The Commercial Dispatch
states further, and correctly that this route Highway
12) will be completely paved Within q year. Now
comes the Winston County Journal and says that the
shortest and best route for them to take is by Starkville,
Louisville, Philadelphia and Canton. You are wrong,
Brother Will. We grant you that you now have the
best route, but not the shortest. In a few months you
will have neither the shortest nor the best.-Kosciusko
Star-Herald.
You are a mighty good, Conscientious editor,
Stokes, but you are wrong again. While neither OF us
have very much to brag on in this highway distance
business, we have you on the best route part of it.
Your road passes through thirteen towns. Ours passes
through six towns, and you know distances through
the towns are not counted. We suspect if you subtract
the miles taken up in the towns, the nine miles the new
map shows in your favor will be more than taken up.
Besides, in travelling our route, one misses the narrow
Indian paths through your good little city Kossy, to
say nothing of the hindrances getting through the other
dozen villages, and missing the metropolis of east Mis-
sissippi. See? At any rate, Stokes, as soon as these
highways are completed, we will come over and get
you, show you a good town, and go over and measure
From the Winston County Journal.

Senator Harrison Speoks

Senator Pat Harrison told members of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States recently that
they, perhap more than any other group, were respon-
sible for huge federal spending by a constant clamor
from their communities for public money to be spent
on local projects.
He also told them one of the basic facts about this
tax reduction. He said that in order to reduce taxes
spending must be curtailed.
The Birmingham ge-Her had this to say re-
garding Senator Harrison:
Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, is one of the
ablest men in the senate, a new school Democrat who
has not forgotten what he learned in the old school.
Happily, he is one of those fortunate representatives
Of the people who is able to think clearly and speak
plainly and still come out on top In the elections.
H with customary southern courtesy but with firm
frankness, Senator Harrison this week told American
business some hard, not altogether pleasant truths, about
the part they must play to help right a topsyturvy eco
nomic picture. He spared neither the government nor
business men in what appears to have been an extern.
poraneous speech before the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States"

Miss Hazel Brannon, Editor
The News
Durant, Mississippi
Dear Miss Brannon:
Believing as ! do that the public
should be completely informed as To
State business and more particularly
with reference to Highway construc-
ton in the State, / want to say that
we have great hopes of getting some
additional money from Washington
through a PW1A grant. VIE should
contracts for the next thirty of forty
days whether our hopes are founded
on something more tangible than a
mere wish or not. We have been
advised by our Delegation In Wash
ington that 1t might be well for us
to withhold awarding purely State
contracts for the next thirty or forty
days, because we would not want
to lose out on a PWA grant because
we did o have the funds with
which to match it. Therefore. we
are tentatively Withholding awarding
contracts wherein the State money
is used in order to be ready for any
emergency. We intend to put all
of our money under contract by Jan
uary 1st. and we are preparing our
selves to that end. AS soon as we
determine definitely from Washing.
ton what to expect, we will proceed
with ~ contracts.
1t might be interesting to know
that we have put more money under
contract within the last twelve months
than eve before in the history OF
the state, and we are putting these
contracts underway in accordance
with the Legislative Mandate, as to ths
relative importance, etc. WI appre-
ciate the spirit Of cooperation Of the
Press and Of the people OF the State,
aud we will work to the end that
Mississippi may have the greatest
System of Highways in the United
States and that with the least amount
Of money Of any state in the Union
for a Major Highway Program.
With grateful appreciation for past
courtesies on the part of your paper
and with the kindes. regards and
best wishes, / am
Yours very sincerely,
IS. T ROEBUCK.

Calento And
Louis Might
Rough 1t Up

Pompton Lakes, N. j., June 21-
(AP)-One of those good old gas
house district brawlS is shaping up
for the gallery when Joe Louis and
Tony Galento collide in the Yankee
stadium a week from tonight.
There may not be much of 1T, but
it will be good while it lasts.
The Galento camp has announced
# will ask that Arthur Donovan,
No. | New York referee, be named
to officiate. and today the Sugges-
ton was approved, confirmed and
heartily coun.erSigned by the brown
bombing champion himself.
This coulG mean but one thing
rough things up and Louis, who can
rough things up. and ouis, who cam
when he has to, are anticipating
nothing less than a knockdoWn, drag
out affair in their 15-rOund bout
for the heavyweight title.
Varied Tactics
When GalentO fought Arturo
Godoy some time back, all sorts of
tactics not endorsed by the books
gouging, elbowing and butting-
were brought into use. Donovan
took the attitude that if the boys
didn't mind, neither did he.
Joe Jacobs referred to this fight
in letting it be known he would ask
for Donovan in next weeks bout.
Louis. who does most of his talk
ing with his fists, opened up long
enough today to say:-"Donovan
suits me fine. If GalentO wants to
rough it. we'll rough it. Don't for
get | was once an ice man, too"
Today Julian Black and John
RoXborough. the champions man.
ayers, retaliated in part for the
"gimmick' statement Joe Jacobs
made and then withdrew last week.
Letter To Commission
They sent letter to the New
York state athletic commission sug-
gesting that as a matter Of precau-
ton the commission have an inspec-
tor make an identifying mark on the
back and palm of each fighters
bandage hands before they enter
the ring
This" said the letter, sin our
minds will prevent the bandages
from being tampered with in any
way, shape or form before the gloves
are placed on the hands"
Black and RoXborough feel it
might not be bad idea to protect
both champion and challenger.
Louis, rapidly nearing peak form,
stepped through a six-round drill
today with Willie Enell, Joe Banovic.

construction actually done by a gov
ernmental agency.
Attorneys for the coops, however,
among them the firm Of Shepherd
and Shepherd Of Raleigh, are con-
testing the liability unGer the 1887
act, and a conference between them
and State attorneys is set for today
in an effort to iron out the diff
ferences.
Of course the cooperatives them
selves will not be the losers in the
event the tax is collected, except that
in the future contractors bidding for
the construction jobs will quite ma
turally take into consideration the
fact that they will have to pay the
three per cent levy.
Otherwise the cOOpS will not lose
unless it proves impossible for the
State to collect from the contractors
who have completed jobs and who
are not North Carolina companies.
For example, the construction of
CaldWells S905,0O0 rural electrifica-
ton job was done by Florida and
a Baltimore concern.
The Revenue Department has a
three-Way shot at collecting. It will
start with the contractor, but if it
cannot get the money out of him, it
will pass on to the concern which
sold the material to the contractor,
and only in the event it cannot get
blood out Of either of these ''turnips'
will it proceed against the owner
in the case Of electric lines, the coops.
Lines which have already been
built and upon which the tax is al
ready due, are, with total cost of the
construction involved:

These pictures of training maneu-

it is sealed tight with a rubber

submarine, by underseas water
pressure. Finally. the hatch is
opened and the men in the subma-

weight Of the rescued men. Finally,
the rubber gasket is released and
the bell rises to the surface Of its
own buoyancy. Meanwhile the men
inside pay out a cable fastened to
the submarine, by which they had
pulled the bell into position, and
thus regulate the rate of rise.
Air is pumped continually into
the rescue chamber from above dur
ing the entire operation and until It
again reaches the surface with the
rescued men.
In event the BELLS downpull cable
becomes stuck, as it did during the
last trip in the Sqatalus rescue, it
can be cut and the bell pulled up by
cranes mounted on surface vessels.
