Hugh White APP,
To Head Polll
! inted By Masonic
! IN Investigation
Will Sc Expert
Cooperation In
Problem Solution

Former Governor Hugh White
a member of the State Agricul-
tural and Industrial Board, will
at the request Of Eugene Hol-
land, president of the Masonite
Corporation at Laurel, head q
committee to be formed for the
purpose of investigating the
company's pollution problem
which has resulted in the kill
ing Of large numbers of fish in
the Leaf and Pascagoula rivers.
Through the Associated Press
Governor White this week an
nounceo from his home in Col
umbia that he has accepted the
appointment and has named Eas-
ton King, editor OF the Chrcn-
icle-Star and Advertiser, to serve
on the three-man board. The
third member, he said, will be
chosen from Hattiosburg.
Governor White, in the Asso-
ciated Press interview, said it is
anticipated the committee will
employ, at the expense of Ma
sonlte, nationally recognized en-
cheering skill to work on tho
problem of removing oxyger,-
hungry wood sugars from the
effluent discharges by the plant
into the Tallahala creek and
thence INTO the Pascagoula and
Leaf rivers. 1t is these sugars
which are harmful TO the fish
and marine life.
Believes Solution Possible
The Chronicle-Sta instigated
a fight against the destructive
practice which has been follow
ed by Masonic for 20 years about
two years ago and has urged that
the company avail itself of the
country's most expert opinions
N an effort to correct the stu
alton. The paper has maintained
editorially that a solution is pos
sibie and feasible although ur-
doultedly expensive for the Of
Tending company and that the
money spent by the company in
solving this problem would re-
present only a small part of tho
cost to the state in loss of natur-
al resources and beauties If the
condition continues without rec
tification.
In recent months the Moss
Point Young Mems Business
Club and the Metropolitan Club
of H~attiesburg have actively
aligned themselves in the fight.
Masonite Corporation still has
approximately a month to correct
its stream pollution before che
temporary INJUNCTION granted
the state game and fish commits.

from dumping effluent into Tai
lahala creek becomes effective.
The commission has indicated Il
will not oppose extension of the
date-December 5--if it is con.
WINGED the corporation is making
satisfactory progress" in its ef-
forts to control lis stream poll

Second Church Pastor We've Il as Becoming Accepted Translation

Publication of the Revised stand. ard verslon of the New Testament may prove to be the most important publication of the year l946, said Rev. pr. John c. Walker. Second Cunereaatlonal Church pastor and st will win its way into the aitec- tons Of Protestant readers.
 Dr. Walkers fun comment on the Revised Standard Version follows;
 rt Is much too soon Co predict with any accuracy whether or not the rank and He of our people will acc cept and approve this new translas tion but the signs arc propitiouS I have no doubt that the first reaction in many quarters will be bit criti. cal, A great many people have be- come welded fer life 70 the King James Version; 1 have myself a fond affection for that particular translation. Many other people will have a favorite modern translation, Nevertheless we have good warrant and reason for believing that the new Revision of the New Testament will win It's way into the affections of Protestant readers It may take a generation or two but 1t may well fulflll the hopes of its sponsors and become at some future time the most generally used and most vide iy accepted translation. We have to remember that the King James Yer sion, of which We are now so fond and which has been for three hun- dred years the most widely used and loved translation of the Bible. had Co wait fifty years for more or less general recognition. We are told that it was charged with bad the- olcgy, bad scholarship, and bad English"
 Our Protestant constituency has every right to ask certain questions about this new translation and 1t Is in the hope of anticipating some of these questions that speak of The New Testament. Some of our friends will say. What is there that sets thls translation apart from some other new translations such as those of Weymouth. Moffatt and Goodspeeo. which have appeared during these last thirty or forty years7" The short and simple ans wer to that question is that this is a transition by authority" As matter Of fact this Is an author ised' revision. If it were not for con- fusion in terms We might call this a modern authorized version Of the New Testament Scriptures.
 A question that might emerge might well be, With the proven power and popularity of the King James Version what are the req sons that prompted another attempt at revision and who has authorized this latest version? The answers here are important and enighten- ing. We need not hesitate to give some thought to these matters. They are of concern to every Pro- testant Christian in America and indirectly to all Protestants Of the English speaking world.
 Now while 1t is true that the King James Version is, by common con- sent, incomparably the greatest of

Curtiss Says Wage Offer Detrimental
 Company Sought tO
 Avert Strike, Prevent
 Terrible Less

The scovill Manufacturing Com. pany's offer of wage increase prior to the start Of the brass strikes was made to the detriment of the cofnpany's financial posi-. ton in order to forestall a strike, and prevent the terrible loss a strike would cause to our employees and to the community" says Alan c. CurtiSs, companysvice-president and director of employe relations.
 MT. CurtiSs statement was made in a letter to the Scovill Local, MMSW, accompanying a back to work" proposal which the union rec jected yesterday.
 The text of Mir. Curtiss' letter follows:
 Since the strike against the Scovill Main Plant and Waterville Division started at l2.0l a. m. we'd neSday, February 6, l946, all of our employees in the Bargaining Unit, except the few necessary to main- tain these plants. have been out Of work. These employees will have no further income from this Company. We are fearful that their economic situation will deteriorate rapidly and that in order to live, they will have to use up savings which they had hoped would provide for their future. To them this strike is catastrophe.
 Immediately before the strike, there was no unsettled issue be. tween the Company and the Union except wages. The Company offer ed an immediate 10 per cent gen. eral wage increase and agreed to meet whatever additional raise was given later by Brass in Water bury. The strike was called by the Union solely because the Company would not agree to meet the Steel settlement. This Company is in no way connected with the Steel h. dustry either competitively or by labor market. There was, therefore, no good reason for such an arbltra- Y demand.
 The Company's offer of a 10 per cent immediate increase was made to the detriInent of the Company's financial position in order to fore stall strike, and prevent the ter- rible loss a strike would cause to our employees and to the Communi- ty. The increase, if accepted. would have increased the Company's op- erating loss. This strike is actually against the Government which controls prices, and thus makes it

Decent Living Wage Price of Consolidation c. |. 0. Chairman
 ARaIyzes Family's
 Expenditures, Small
 Income

The brass strikes will continue un- til the companies settle 1t on a basis Of a decent living wage says Fred Saginario, chairman of the American Brass Go. unit Of the C. I. O. Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers Union.
 Speaking on a union broadcast on Station WATR, MT. Saginario de- clared that we are on strike not only for ourselves but for our wives and kids" He outlined his family budget, based on a 40-hour week Sal- axy of c26.60, saying that overtime pay will soon be 'out of the picture. !"
 Said MT. Saginario, father of four children:
 T pay 50 cents for the hospital plan, 50 cents for the Community Chest, 20 cents for a company insur- ance plan, and my social security is 37 cents. That adds up to $l.57 and leaves $35.23 out of my present pay for 70 hours Our rent figures 43.7O a week and our weekly food bill, including not enough milk for the kids. runs around $20. All that AS AcAL OuL O1 9oodoO pay d4be t1Aas is 9il53. Our fuel bill comes to e2.94 week, and We pay on an aver age for gas and lights. according to our old bills, SIP a week. At home I have insurance bills to pay amounting to $l47 a week. Deduct these items and have only $5.85 Left out of my pay. ."
 we have not included any ex- pense for clothing No allowance has been made for the lunch I have to eat at the shop. There is nothing for doctor bills. Nothing for the dentist Nothing for many Of the things family needs to live right ."
 My final word Is to the brass companies. It is this: We are on strike not only for ourselves, but our wives and kids. We intend to win this struggle, win it for them. We want to live like decent Americans. This strike will continue until you. the brass companies, settle it on the basis of a decent living wage. We'll give you an honest days work, but you must give us an honest days pay. An honest days pay is enough to live. More than we're getting now"
