NEWS IN BRIEF

SEATTLE, (R) A spectacular three-alarm fire, heavily damaged the roof and interior of the old armory building adjacent to the Pike Place market early today.
 The castle-like structure, built in 1909, was used, in part as stOrerOom for records of the state unemployment compensation de- partment. Fire Chief William FitZ- gerald said he was considering the possibility that the fire was set to destroy the records which now are being audited in an attempt to dis cover fraudulent compensation claims. The records, however, were not reached by the blaze.
 Fitzgerald estimated the fires damage at Sl5,000.

 Senator Cochran rem r k d about the good the Territory is do- ing for the tubercular cases in the new Sanatorium near Sitka, WheCe many persons from the Second Di- vision are being cared for. The senator stated he had also visited the new school on Japonski Island, operated by the Department of h. dian Affairs, and saw the group of more than 300 well-behaved, and well-cared-for children from all parts of the Territory.
 The Pioneer Home at Sitka was another of the points visited by the Senator and about which he states he found in very good condition, and that the charges of inconpe- tence and mismanagement, by the Investigating committee were un- founded and unnecessary, and that the old-timers who hail from all parts of the Territory, spoke high ly of the management, the board, and pr.

Board Orders Appropriations "FreeZe''

JUNEAU, CP)-A freeze" order on all appropriations for the l947- 49 biennium except those essential to the operation of the Territorial government, has been issued by the Territorial Board of administra- ton, Atty Gen. Ralph Rivers dis closed Thursday.
 The action followed estimates that revenues for the biennium would fall an estimated S3,75O,000 short of the $1O,OO0,000 appropri- ated by the legislature Rivers said.
 Principal effect of the order will be to halt all new construction of schools, hospitals, roads, airfields, floats and small boat harbors. Road and airfield construction appropri- ations totaling $400,000 were frozen by the order, but an estim- ated S6OO,000 annual receipts from the gallon motor fuel tax, earmarked for the roads, har- bors and airfields fund, was unaf- fected.
 Specifically exempt from the freeze are expenditures for the maintenance of schools and public asylums; pensions and grants to aged, indigent and dependent chil- dren; salaries an operations of Territorial offices; and bounty payments.
 The board met April 1.

Labor Bill With Teeth In House

WASHINGTON, lH) - \ stiff new bill to put the brakes or strikes and unions reached the vot- ing stage in the House labor com wl.ee today.
 Traces of opposition 10 it still smouIdered among some Republi- can members. Several Democrats, getting their first look at the terms were ready to swing on it with all their power.
 The bill, with a couple of chan ges, got the approval yesterday of Republican leaders and the policy shaping COP steering committee.
 One change would provide a pc riod of mediation and arbitration for settling strikes, such as the telephone row which the bill de- fines as affecting the national health, welfare and safety. The other would remove a proposed Dan on the union shop if both man agement and labor wan, one.
 The bill still would forbid the closed shop, under which an em- ployer may hire only union mem bers. Under the union shop, non union men may be hired, but they must join the union soon after go- ing on the payroll.
 A strike affecting the national interest would be handled by giv- ing the attorney general the right to ask for a court order to slave off or stop the tie-up. The injunction would be good for 75 to 90 days. During that time, mediation and arbitration would be tried. If that failed the union still could strike, but the govern ment could also get another in junction and try again.
 A new, independent administra- tor of the labor relations law would investigate cases, present them to the board. and take deci- sions into court for enforcement, if necessary.
 Across the Capitol, indications were that milder bill before the Senate labor committee probably will be toned down even more when it's members start voting on it Friday.
 As it stands, the preliminary Senate draft outlaws the closed shop, authorizes temporary injunc- tions to block serious strikes, pro hibits secondary boycotts and jur- isdictional strikes, and makes nu- merous Wagner Act changes de- signed to restore justice in rela- tions between employers and em- ployeeS."

WASHINGTON, P)-The atom is energy commission came out of .t- storm cellar today and plunged immediately into long range plan hing for peaceful and military de- velopment of nuclear power.
 The tornado which roared about the commission during il weeks of argument on Capitol Hill sub sided last night when the Senate voted 50 to 3l to confirm David E.. Lil!enthal in the chairman'5 job he has held since last January l. Four fellow commissioners and general manager Carroll Wilson also were confirmed without the formality of roll calls.
 Lilienthal made an oblique ref erence to the commissions difficult ties in a terse victory statement in which he said "the important thing now is to get on with this job"
 "This job" entails the outright ownership for the government of all atomic plants and materials in this country as well as sweeping authority over research and devel- Opment work in all fields.
 
 SEATTLE, (P)-Confirmation of David F. Lilienthal as chairman of the atomic energy commission was termed good for the west" las: night by Sen. Warren C.. Msgnu- son D.-WashD
 "Lilienthal favors a program which will require more power than is now available out here" ," Magnuson declared. His appoint ment means that we should be able to present strong case for in- stallation of additional generators at Grand Coulee Dam, and it gives some hope for at least token ap- propriations for McNary and Eos ter Creek dams"

Slavery was abolished, but all men,
white and black, had to live. Only
the deep, black, everlasting soil
gave, them hope. All men were de-
pendent upon agriculture, mainly
cotton.
Progress came slowly. Missis-
sippi could not be rebuilt in day

constitution was rewritten. Subse-
quently, economic changes made
other revisions necessary. It took
80 years for prosperity to become

ways will be-One of the leading
agricultural states. Its 10 dis
tinctive types Of soils will grow
almost anything. Approximate
ly so per cent of the population
is rural.
Cotton is still the states greatest
source of income. Corn, oats, beans,
vegetables, fruits, pecans and other
crops supplement cotton. In the
Pearl river country alone are
grown some $1,000 acres of tung
trees, or approximately one-half of
the total acreage of tung trees in
the United States. Three tung
crushing plants are in operation.
The mild climate of Mississippi
means more months of grazing, less
expensive barns and sheds, and
greater profits for it's S135, 1T 900
livestock and dairy industry. With
1,518,000 head of cattle in 1915, Mis-
sissippi was ahead of most of her
southern neighbors. Hogs, sheep
and poultry add substantially to the
farm income.
Forestry Ranks High.
Next to agriculture in importance
is lumber and forest products.
Again the long growing season and
ample moisture have made MISS
sippi fourth in the nation in produc-
ton of lumber products. The state
has four pulpwood plants and more
wallboard manufacturing plants
than any other state. The forest
harvest is placed at S62,500, 900 an
nually. Naval stores, paper, pitch,
tar, turpentine and other byprod-
ucts of the forests also are pro-
duced.
And, too, Mississippi's forests are
being perpetuated. A state nursery
furnishes seedlings for farmers and
cumberland owners. Nearly Is mil
lion trees are set out each year.
All of the foregoing is fine,
says Mississippi, but we want
even more-we want manufac-
turing! Agriculture alone makes
a lOpsided economy, so the
state is doing something about
it.
With great volume and diver
sity of raw materials at hand, and
more than $500 industries already
operating, Mississippi is going out
after more. Annual payrolls are
now more than 200 million dollars a
year and increasing steadily, while
manufactured products are valued
at more than 400 million dollars an
nually. The good, black land will
produce the raw materials, plenty
of labor is available and the will to
do is strong!
Oil, one of the states newest nat
ural resources, flows from % pro-
ducing fields in the state. Every
town in the state with a population
of 10000 or more people is served
by natural gas.
Thus energies the NEW Missis-
sippi, the pace-setter and leader,
still guided by the indomitable
spirit that colonized the rich land,
raised it to great heights and sus-
tanned it through years of heart
ache. Mississippi is on its way to
the mountain top!

WNU Features.

WNU Features.
Way down south in the land
of cotton, all men have faith in
the deep, rich alluvial soil.
Like plants and trees, their
roots grow deep and they draw
their well being, their very
life, from the black earth, the
natural means for restoring
fallen fortunes and mending
the scars of war. Since men
first saw Mississippi it's soil and
climate have inspired them to con-
quer the wilderness, to defend their
heritage with word and sword, and
to renew their faith in themselves
and their opportunities.
Europeans explored the Missis-
sippi territory for so years before
fernando De Soto established site
in the northeastern part, and in
May, 1541, discovered the Missis-
sippi river. A century later the
French traders and explorers came
Marquette, Joliet and Sieur de la
Sale. Through La Sales efforts,
Louis XIV provided ships to move
colonists to proposed site at the
mouth of the river in 1884. and an
expedition under Sieur d'Iberville
established post at Fort Maure-
pas, near modern Biloxi, in 1899.
Under Many Flags.
After the Seven Years war, the
French divided their North Ameri-
can possessions between England
and Spain in 1853, and Mississippi
became British province. During
the 16 years under British rule the
territory developed agriculturally,
and in 1779 Spain took it over and
extended the prosperity already
founded. In 1893, Mississippi came
under United States control.
The years that followed were
eventful - Indian wars, admission
as state on March 81, 1914, the
writing of the first constitution by
George Poindexter and a population
increase of ITO per cent!
In those ante-bellum days,
Natchez, high on the bluffs
overlooking the river, was the
wealthiest town in the South
and in the nation. OF the IS mill
liOnaires in the United States,
II of them lived in Natchez. All
of Mississippi had magnificent
homes, material riches, able
statesmen. Such was the har-
vest from bountiful land.
Then dark days came. In 1861
war between the states became an
actuality. Jefferson Davis, a son of
Mississippi, became president of
the Confederate States. In four
years of bloody war, Mississippi
saw the siege of Vicksburg and the
fall of that stronghold on July 4,
1863-the blow that sealed the fate
of the Confederacy but ended major
fighting in the state. And at the
close of the war Mississippi was
bankrupt.
