PROHIBITION

the Special Session called by me in
March Of this year, ! recommended the repeal
of the Black Market Tax. Ny position on
this remains the some and the new Leoislo-
ture to be elected by the people will have an
opportunity at the session c%onveninq in
January to pass on this importont question,
but we must face the stern foct thot q change
in the general attitude of our people to low
enforcement is vitolIy needed, especially os
pertains to the sole and consumption of
liquor.
ut is my conviction that O majority of the
people of our state want the prohibition lows
retained and enforced. | will not recommend
the repeal of our liquor laws and will oppose
any effort to repeol or weaken them. On the
other hand, with your help and the help of
the legislature, we will retoin, strengthen and
enforce the prohibition lows we now have"

Here are some Of the measures Fielding
Wright advocates in his platform for

stote. In order that the agricultural program

lectures of which ore:

ket. continuance of the statewide marketing
program, construction Of branch markets at
various places in the state where needed.
Adequate support Of research work
through the experiment stations SO as to i'm
prove every phase of Mississippi agriculture.

ture q program thot will maintain us as q

HIGHWAYS

i shall continue to work to have Mississippi
covered With O network Of m-to-m market
roads SO thot every former may enjoy the
benefits OF q hord-surfcced link between his
form and bigger and better markets. We
must hove adequate roads for our farmers to
move their crops efficiently and economical
Iy."
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1947-07-24

W. must use our natural resources to
increase the prosperity of the stote and in
crease the income of every M~ississippion. We
must hove safe and sane conservation proc
tices to these resources so that maximum re-
turns may be reolized by our state and oil its
people. This opplies particularly to our soil,
timber and the great oil within oar
stote."
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1947-07-24
EgEsAeT FEEDS

Il will recommend at TIE next session Of
the legislature thot legislation be posed to
exempt feeds from the Stote Soles Tax, just
os fertilizer and seeds olreody ore exempt.
This le9islotion, if enacted. will reduce for
the formers the cost Of raising livestock and

zens Of this state-the oeed, the blind. and

Justice Unit Opposes
Steamship Airline Bill

A bill to permit steamship COM
panies to enter the airline business
was opposed before the House Com
merce Committee yesterday by a
Justice Department spokesman on
the ground the legislation was con-
trary to the policy of Congress and
the review courts.
Edward ]. Hickey, jr., special as
sistant to the Attorney General, said
his department objected to the
change because it would upset 'long
established Congressional policy"
and transfer authority of the Civil
Aeronautics Board to the Maritime
Commission.
Mr.. Hickey argued that "competi-
ton is suppressed when competing
forms of transportation are brought
under common control" and that the
shipping interests also are protected
under this concept.
Earlier, United States Ambassador
to Brazil William Pauley expressed
opposition to bill to consolidate
our overseas airlines into one

clared the proposed monopoly would

Ferguson Asks Congress to Pass
Wheeler Bill Vetoed by Truman

President Truman's veto of legisla-
ton that would permit former Sen
ator Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat,
of Montana to serve as special
counsel for the Senate War In
vestigating Committee while retain
ing his private law practice, con-
tinued today to bedevil the White
House.
Senator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan said he would demand
that Congress pass the joint resolu-
ton over the veto-a move requiring
two-thirds majority in both houses,
and one, incidentally, that might
cause a bit of embarrassment in
White House circles, if successful.
President Truman, in the face of
a statement by Press Secretary
Charles G Ross that the veto was a
mistake" which would be "rectified," +"
stood by his guns under news con-
ference questioning late yesterday.
He indicated his full agreement with
an opinion by Attorney General
Clark that the veto, prepared by his
department, was proper.
The President, using the veto for
the first time in the new session of
Congress, had held in message to
Congress Wednesday, that the Ian
guage of the resolution was too
broad. Bolstered by the Clark opin-
ion, Mr.. Truman said he would sign
a measure with the objectionable
language removed. Otherwise, moth
ing.
The veto message said that the
legislation, as drafted, might be in
terpreted to permit committee coun-
sci to institute civil or criminal
proceedings on behalf of the United
States-a prerogative reserved to
the Justice Department.

'Tie-In' Rentals Barred
On New Priority Housing

Morris S. Werner, director of COM
pliance for the. National Housing
Expediter's Office, today warned
builders who started rental units
before December "a with Govern
ment priorities that they will not be
permitted to offer to rent dwellings
on condition that prospective ten
ants purchase an investment inter-
est in the property.
Is Mr.. Werner explained that the
Government priority carried with it
Ia ceiling price. An additional re-
quirement in the way of financial
investment would be in violation of
the ceiling price, he said.

lplaints with the area housing ex-
pediter's office in the Social Security
Building.
