Office, with a minimum of $25.
Councilmen would be paid $4,000
a year and members Of the school
board a maximum of $3.50 a year.
On motion by Representative Al
len, Republican, of California the
group agreed that the name OF any
one failing to vote in three success
sive years be removed from the list.
This would require the person. If
still living here and wishing to vote,
to re-register.
The original plan called for va
cancies on the council and the
school board-between elections
to be filled by appointment by the
chairman of the proposed Congress
sional Joint Committee on the Dis
trict. The subcommittee now rec
ommends that the council and the
board fill vacancies in their own
membership.
Three Other Changes Adopted.
Three other changes from the
original plan were adopted. Under
one of these the highway depart
ment would be set up as a separate
city department instead of being
placed under the proposed public
works department. This would raise
the number of main departments
to IL.
The group considered renewed
proposals for the appointment in
stead of election OF members OF the
Board of Public Education, but de-
cided to stay by, an elected board.
The Auchincloss subcommittee,
however, now recommends that
members of the council and school
board be elected at the same time,
in November, instead of electipg a
council in November, and delaying
the school board election to June.
One other change recommended
by the group would place the public
housing functions of the city in an
autonomous authority directly under
the council instead of under the de-
partment of public works.

Two Fires Cause Damage
OF $50o,o0o in Louisville
By the Associoted Press

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 29-Two
fires of major proportions struck
Louisville's business district last
night and today, leaving property
damage estimated at more than
s5OO,000.
The first blaze broke out last
night in the Boston Building, de-
stroying or running merchandise
and equipment of several business
firms. 1t threatened for hours to
spread into adjoining structures.
Within few hours after 1T was
brought under control, another fire
destroyed warehouse of the Struck
Construction Co. officials said the
origin OF neither fire had been de-
termined.
The Kaufman-Straus Co. depart
ment store, one of Louisville's
largest, adjoined the Boston Build
ing and suffered heavy damage from
smoke and water.

While some political scientists
believe the difficulties of propor-

! Charter Referendum.
2. The holding of a local refer
endum on adoption of the proposed
charter before it would become
effective. The subcommittee in its
original plan left this out Of the
program but now plans to recon-
slider it..
3. Provision of a run-of election
for elective officers for at least the
first election of councilmen and
members of the Board of Public
Education.
Since successful candidates would
not be required to obtain majority
vote, it has been suggested that at
least for the first year, If there is
as expected large number OF can
didateS, there be a run-of election.
4. Adoption of more equal popula-
ton areas for the eight district posts
on the council At present the plan
provides for election of four of the
councilmen at large and eight for
the city's four geographical areas
two each from the Northwest,
Northeast, Southwest and South
east. Objection has been made that
the Northwest with a population of
some 47OO0O would have but two
regional representatives, while an
equal number would represent the
Southwest, with a population of only
about $4,000
Mr.. Auchincloss said his group
would recommend a change from
the original plan to require only 100
instead of $50 signatures on petit
tions for the nomination of men,
bers of the council or the new school
board.

agreed that all candidates for the

Sailing Of Last G|s
From Italy Delayed
BY the Associated Press

ROME, Nov. 29.-The Army said
tonight that departure of the troop
ship Admiral Sims with the last
units of United States Army forces
in Italy had been delayed. The SAIL
ing had been scheduled for Decenl-
ber 3.
Mai. Gen. Lawrence c. Jaynes,
United States theater commander,
was quoted by spokesman as say
ing this would not interfere with
the American Army getting out OF
Italy before the date set by the
Italian peace treaty." That date is
December IA.
No reason was given for the de-
lay.
The Army spokesman said he
could add nothing to the informa-
ton given him by telephone from
Army headquarters at Leghorn. Ell
forts to reach Gen. Jaynes or his
aides direct were not successful.
The ships delay seems certain to
raise questions whether the Army
such of it as is left-is lingering be-
cause of leftist-inspired violence
which has plagued Italy. But Gen.
Jaynes' statement, as issued through
the spokesman, that the delay would
not prevent the Army from leaving
before the treaty deadline, would
mean that the troops are staying
only II days longer than planned.
Best estimates of the present
Army strength in Italy-exclusive OF
those IN the Trieste free territory
run to approximately 1000 officers
and men. These estimates are based
on the fact that single transport
was scheduled to carry all remain
units, plus their dependents. With
these gone there would be only the
final liquidation detachment, num-
herring perhaps 300.

Electrical Workers Take
Voluntary Pay Reduction
By the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 29-A voluntary
wage cut of so cents an hour for 60
electrical fixture assemblers en-
ployed in St. Louis fixture plants,
to restore the firms to an equitable
competitive position, was part of a
contract signed by IS firms and the
AFL International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, Frank w. ia
cobs, union vice president, said to-
day.
Mr.. Jacobs said the assemblers
were reduced from $l.60 to $1l0
an hour, largely on showing that
the scale for assemblers in other
major cities is $106 an hour.
I'VE had succeeded in building up
wages for assemblers some years

which went to Mrs Marguerite

and wife of the former church

Shiloh rally went beyond the set
quota of $500 and last reports
had the figure at s468 with more
contributions coming in. Mrs.
Pinkston topped the list with
$106, and Mrs Helen Lightfoot
was second with 500. Certainly
all of the workers, with their

Farmers Urged
To Cover Crops
With Insurance

cotton farmers can take the guess
out of farming by covering their
l947 cotton crop with Federal all
risk insurance, MFR. William E.
Ammons. State Contact Represen-
tative for the Production and Mar
keting Administration, said this
week.
While the 1947 program is SUBJ
stantially the same as the 1916 pro-
gram farmers are urged to get COM
plete information on program pro-
visionF. from their local sales agent
or from the County AGA office.
The amount of insurance increases
as the crop grows, because more
costs have been incurred and the
crop is worth more to farmers, Mr.
AnthbHsl pointed QUIT This years
program offers an increasing am
cunt of eoYerage through four stag
es of production; first, alter it is
too late to plant cotton but before
first second, after first
cultivation bu before laying-by;
three, afterS laying-by bat before
harvest; and four, after harvest and
to the end of the insurance. period
Mr.. Ammons emphasized that
while Federal crop insurance pro-
tects crops from many unavoidable
hazards it does not give protection
for losses due to avoidable hazards.
Unavoidable hazards INCLUDE
drouth, hail, insect infestation,
floods, fire, tornado and hurricane
Avoidable hazards include crop neg
lect, poor farming practices and
failuge to poison for insects where
practicable.
While applications for Insurance
will be taken until March 18th in
South Mississippi and until March
31st in the Northern part of the
State, farmers are being urged to
sign their contracts at the earliest
possible date according to the Re-
preventative. Applications may be
