They will be delegates to the

plain the need for creating world

an and child in America. SINH
lar groups are doing the same
thing in other countries as a
part of a world movement.
The Asheville group amalgam-
ated their views in two brief
and lucid statements. Their pre-
amble was:
1--WE believe that peace is not
merely the absence of war, but
the presence of justice. of law.
of order - in short, of govern
ment and the institutions Of gov
eminent; that world peace can
be created and maintained only
under world law, universal and
strong enough to prevent armed
conflict between nations"
And the purpose:
Therefore, while endorsing
efforts of the United Nations to
bring about a world community
favorable to peace, we will work
primarily to strengthen the Unit
ed Nations into a world govern
ment of limited powers adequate
to prevent war and having di-
rect jurisdiction over the indivi-
dual in those matters within its
competence"
This point that world govern
ment have authority over each
individual and thus be respon-
sible to the people instead of to
separate national governments
is a key feature. This is the
federal idea which has worked
so we'll in the United States
where both the national and 48
state governments are respons-
ible to the people at the same
time.
Today in North Carolina the
movement has II chapters GOV

Aid From Sales
Tax Solution To
Cities Problems

Return of a portion of the state
sales tax is the only solution to
the financial difficulties of many
Mississippi cities, Mayor G.. B.
Cousins, Jr., of Biloxi, told guests
at a meeting of a press-legisla-
ture forum Friday of last week
at Gulfport.
Mayor Cousins advocated an
increase in the sales tax, and fol-
lowed BY outlining the finan-
cial condition of Biloxi and other
cities of the state, all of which
were in financial troubles. Forty
seven percent of the population
of the state resides in cities, he
said, and added that the strength
of the state is built on the strength
of its cities.
Mayor Cousins declared that
the cities could plan for the flu
ture only if they had a fixed am
cunt to work with and a return
of the portion of the sales tax
would be an answer.
He said it was impossible to
continue raising assessments and
pointed out that Biloxi had a tax
of Al mills and had raised assess
ments this year from $1,000, 900
to $4,000 600. Its bonded indebt-
edness is 81. 300, 900. He mention
ed the needs of the various city
departments and said other mu-
inequalities in the state were in
the same condition.
State-Senator H. Evans told of
plans for Coast development, in
Guiding port development at Gulf
port, as well as sea wall repair and
the development of a sand beach
along the coast front. This, he
said, would make the area the
most magnificent recreational
area in the country.

Radio Controlled
Low Enforcement
Equipment Due

Radio : controlled police and
county highway patrol vehicles,
long a dream of local law enforce
ment agencies, will become a fact
in Pascagoula and the county
within the very near future.
Authorized by county and city
officials several months ago, the
program has been deloyed several
times by equipment shortages
and communication laws but the
machinery for the station is
scheduled to arrive this week.
Units for the two county high
way patrol cars and two city po-.
lice department cars will arrive
at the same time and the install
lation will be by a factory ex-
pert.
The station will be located in
the Pascagoula police station and
will be operated on a twenty
four hour basis by the desk ser
geants. A three-way set up is
called for with communication
from car to station, from station
to car. and from car to car.
1t has been pointed out that
the installation of the equipment
viii greatly increase the effiei-
eney of law enforcement agen-
eies and will have effect of doubl-
ing the number of patrol cars in
Paseagoula.
It is expected that the sheriff.
who controls the highway patrol
under the law, will also have a
unit in his official car.
