Deny Increase
In Rates To
Phone Company

The Mississippi Public Service
Commission last week denied the
application of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company to increase
its subscriber rates in the state
to yield an additional $780,
600 in revenue to the company.
The action followed a defer
ment on the request Of the COM
pany by the commission after
the submission of testimony three
months ago.
A raise in rates was granted
the telephone company by the
commission in May 1947. In jan
uary of that year the company
had asked for increases TO yield
additional revenue of 81, 900, 900.
The commission granted increas-
es to yield $89O,000 annually.
In asking for the second in
crease in rates representatives
said that the telephone company
is operating at a considerable
loss in the state amounting to
approximately $4,000 monthly.

PRICE DROP!

The sensational price drop in
market values of many COM
modities was felt only slight
lY in Moss Point and Pasca-
goula this week but merchants
agreed that a more definite de-
crease in prices will be seen
next week.
Local stores reported slight
reduction in bacon and other
pork products. pure lard and
flour. Merchants said that sales
men held out little hope for
any price change in beef. veal
or canned goods. Another mer-
chant. however. declared that
lowered prices are expected on
all meat due to the plummet-
ing of grain in the world mar
kefs.
Housewives were hopeful,
however. and greeted even the
smallest drop in price cheer
fully as an indication that the
gruellins price rise has at last
been broken.

1--WE should with firmness but
in good faith and with sound
calmness, ably and fully state
our needs and our problems to
the top men, official and unof-

"Still with calm and reason and

be those who say this will do

will do good.
* do not want to be driven
out of our party without fighting

Rates Revised
AT Meeting Of
Taxi Operators

Pascagoula taxi cab operators
meeting at the offices of the
Chamber of Commerce this week
revised the new cab rates that
went into effect February 1st SO
that two Or more persons enter
ing a cab at the same point OF
origin and travelling to the same
destination will be charged only
25-cents each.
The revised rate went into eff
feet Thursday morning. Under
the new rate setup adopted by the
operators on February LIST fares
had been increased to 35-cents
per person. However, under the
revised rate the 35-cent fare will
apply to single passengers only
entering the cabs at different
places and travelling to different
destinations.
The operators stated that it was
impossible to haul single passen-
gers distances allowed by the
present zone rates and cited in
creased costs of operation, which
included a six-cent rise in the price
of gasoline, 24-cents per gallon
increase in lubricating oil, and in
creased prices of both tires and
automobiles, as well as increased
taxes and insurance.
No Change In Bus Fare

regret that the Chamber of Com
merce had been criticized in con-
nection with the recent raise In
fares. 1t was explained that the
notation on the rate schedule sug-
costing that violations of the rate
schedule be reported to the Cham
Der was included through error,
and was included from an old
rate card used during the war.
A special fare of 25-cents was
reinstated for school children
riding to and from school.
The Two-One Bus Company
spokesman said that the bus fare
increase to 15-eents was made
necessary because of increased
cost, and the sharp decrease IN
passenger loads. A fare of To-
cents has been established for
school children riding to and
from school.
Taxi cab operators also agreed
that no charge would be made for
ried by passengers. However, ex-
ira luggage. tool boxes, large bum

ouire an additional 25-eent fare.

Three Local Golden GIovers Lose Title
In Southern Finals At Nashville

Three members of the Pasca-'
goula Golden Gloves boxing team
fought their way to the finals at
Nashville Wednesday night, but
each was o~utpointed in their fight
for the Southern amateur title.
The Pascagoula champions had
won the South Mississippi title
here in the annual tournament
sponsored by the Chronicle-Star
and Advertiser. and had been en-
tered in the Southern regional
tournament as a team.
Salem Labbous, 236-pound hea-
vyweight favorite, who had adj
vanced to the finals at Nashville
by impressive knockouts Monday
and Tuesday nights, dropped a
close decision to Wayland Dubose
of Troy, Ala, in the title fight
Wednesday night.
Dubose, who gave considerable
weight advantage to Labbous,
evaded the rushes of the Missis-
| sippian in the first two rounds
and landed singing rights to build
up his margin of victory.
Labbous was particularly inn
p~ressive in the final stanza, when
he landed two powerful rights
that stunned his opponent and
almost won the fight. The judges
unanimously awarded the final
round to Labbous.
Wayne Rouse, Pascagoula feath-
erweight, also lost a close de-
cision to Billy Poague of Birming-
ham in the fight for the Southern
title in that division. Rouse fin
ished strong and took the final
round after staggering his oppo~
nent with a looping right, but lost
the close decision.

chick of Keesler Field, who won
the Mississippi title here and en-
tered the Southern championships
on the Pascagoula team, also lost
a decision to Oscar Cox of Attain
ia in the finals in that division.

first Pascagoula entry to see &C
ton when he fought Monday
night. He lost a decision to Roy
williams of Knoxville. One judge
voted to give the decision to Ezeii
in the extremely close fight.

Bob Blythe of Keesler also were
both eliminated on the opening
night. Lightweight Bosarge was
decisioned by Beecher Keller OF
Knoxville, and Welterweight

first round by Butch Bahakel oil
Birmingham.

night. fell victim to the punches
of Ed McGhee of Atlanta Tues
day night. Acosta was counted
out in the second round, and NC

PHAHeads
Will Confer
Before Sale
FILA Commitments
On Navy Units
Are About Ready

Executives of the Atlanta Of
flee of the Public Housing Au-
thority will confer with the Pas,
cagoula Housing Committee and
other local groups here before the
government-owned Navy houses
in Eastlawn are put on sale, r,
E. Bates, regional director for
PHA, said in a long-distance tele-
phone conversation with the
Chronicle Star and Advertiser
Thursday morning.
1--WE have not as yet received
FILA commitments on the per-
manent Eastlawn housing" Mr.
Bates said, "but expect to have
them on Blocks A and B some
time the early part of next week.
Block A comprises a group of
"a single dwellings on Buena
Vista and Williams street, and
will be the first houses that will
be put on sale, to be followed
by Block B, which comprises all
units east of Market street and
South of Lincoln, a total of 1855
houses.
Meeting Postponed
Meanwhile Karl Wiesenburg,
commander of the Pascagoula
Veterans of Foreign Wars post,
said that the citizens mass meet
ing which had been called for
3 p. m. Sunday at the 18th street
auditorium, has been temporar-
ly postponed because of develop
nents, and pending the final or
,~anization of a COMMUNICATIVE
ommittee.
Following a meeting of the
Pascagouia Housing Committee
asst week kilograms were sent TO
Washington and Atlanta officials
IF the PHA asking for a post
ponement of 60 days in the sale
until PHA and FILA appraisals
could be reconciled.
kilograms were sent by the
housing committee, veterans
groups, and the Pascagoula Metal
Trades Council.
In a letter answering the tele-
grams this week Mr.. Bates said
that information used in news
stories and statements by others
concerning the pricing of the SO
Gulfdale units for negroes was
incorrect.
The FILA placed a total apprais-
al of $4,000 on the so units, Mr..
Bates said, and under FILA pro-
cedure they were permitted to
insure up, but not to exceed, 80
percent of the sales price.
"As we wished to afford the
purchaser the maximum COM
possible" the letter said,
I'VE reduced our appraisal of ap-
proximately $4,000 per unit to
their (the FHA) appraised figure
Of $4,000 per unit and averaged
these over the houses according
to location, some being set at
So, $50 and others at $2,250. The
FILA makes their insurance COM
mitments in multiples of even one
hundred dollar units. This made
a slight difference in the percen-
tage on so low a priced house,
bringing the Town payment on
the $3.50 house at IL percent
and the down payment on the
$2,250 at IA percent . The total
down payment in either case is
$3.50 and $3.50, and not the $3.50
additional as quoted in the news
paper"
In discussion of the sale, and
in news stories, it was charged
that in addition to the down pay
ment, the purchaser must pay
the difference between the FILA
commitment of $1,000 and the sale
price which was nearest
Mr.. Bates also indicated that
the PHA would accept the FILA
appraisal and commitment figure
in setting the price on the East
lawn Navy Houses.
