pits and tables in the area in the

Record Damages
Awarded by Jury
To C.. W. Entrekin

The largest damage verdict
ever to be given in a Jackson
County court was brought in by
a l2-man jury in circuit court
this week which awarded $35, 1000
to Calvin w. Entrekin in a suit
against Billups Oil Company.
The suit was for $4,000 in con-
lsection with injuries suffered
by Entrekin when he was en-
ployed as service station attend
ant by Billups at Ocean Springs.
The contention in the suit was
that loose gravel had aceumulat-
ed between the station and the
highway in Ocean Springs and
this caused an automobile driven
by Tommy Harrison, Jr., to strike
Entrekin in the station after the
driver lost control of the car as
it rounded a curve and struck
the loose gravel. The complain
ant, who was putting gas in an
automobile at the time, suffered
multiple fractures of one leg and
severe internal injuries and as a
result was hospitalized more than
a year.
The original suit for damages
was filed against Tommy Harri-
son and the Billups Company but
this was withdrawn and the new
suit naming only Billups was
then filed, records showed.
Entrekin was represented by
Mitchell and Hill, Pascagoula law
firm, and Billups was represented
by Marshall and Stennis of Gulf
port.
The amount allowed in the
case exceeds by $i2,500 any pre-
vious verdict. The erstwhile
record was $22,500 awarded a
Mrs. Prouse in a suit against the
Mississippi Power and Light
Company in the death of her hus-
band on a power pole, according
to Vertis Ramsay, circuit clerk.
A motion for a new trial in the
Entrekin -Billups case was sched-
uled for hearing in court Thurs
day afternoon as this paper went
to press.
Oliver Nolan, charged with
grand larceny for the theft of an
exhaust fan from r. M. Whit
field, was found guilty of petit
larceny by a jury and sentenced
to a fine of 500 and a four-month
all sentence.

ton at this point. The 2O-foot
strip will be decided to the state

chairman of the county organiza-
ton, announced this week.
The meeting here follows a ses-
sion at Gulfport Thursday of last
week attended by organizational
committee members from a five
county area at which the plans
and detectives of the state organ
iZation were outlined.
In calling the dinner meeting
Friday Mr. Virgins said:
THE purpose of this meeting is
to organize Jackson county as a
part of the Mississippi Economic
Council, which is a state Chamber
of Commerce, differing some in
its operations from most state
chamber of commerce organiza-
tons. We believe that it is nee
essary to have an organization in
u state such as this.
Areas within states differ
widely, making it difficult some
times for business interests with,
in the state to agree on funda-
mental policies of governmental
procedure. All these conditions
make it more imperative for lead
ership to develop an organization
through which they can unite for
the purpose of achieving their
common objective"
Reservations for tonight's din
ner must be made by 10 a. m.
Friday at the Chamber of Com
merce office.
Inasmuch as no funds are avail
able for such purposes the dinner

Fisheries Pact
Signing SET For
Mobile In July

A meeting has been tentatively
set for Mobile on July Is at
which time governors of the five
Gulf states will sign a pact set
ting up uniform commercial fish
ing laws for the Gulf waters, and
removing present restrictive leg
islation.
The date was set last week at
Montgomery by a subcommittee
of the continuing conference com
mittee of the Gulf States Marine
Fisheries Commission, which has
been working for the past three
years towards a compact between
the five states bordering on the
Gulf. The compact became a
reality last week when President
Truman signed an Act giving
Congress- consent to the action,
a requirement of the US Consti-
tuition.
Fridays meeting in Montgom-
cry was attended by Naif Jordan,
president of the Mississippi Sea-
food Commission, and Hermes F.
Gautier, Jackson county state
representative.
While each of the states will be
represented at the Mobile meet
ing by their respective three rep
resentatives on the continuing
conference committee, provisions
of the compact call for the gov
ernors to sign the articles of or
g~anization.
Heretofore restrictive state leg
islation has prevented fishermen
of one Gulf state from fishing in
waters of a bordering state, ex-
cept under heavy penalties. Pur-
pose of the pact would be to abol-
ish this restrictive legislation and
establish uniform procedures.
Three states, led by Alabama
with Florida and Louisiana fol-
lowing in that order, have had
the necessary enabling legisla-
ton enacted. Texas is expected
to secure the passage of enabling
legislation within the next 30
days and Mississippi when the
legislature convenes.

Ask Approval For
Proposed New
Dog River Cutoff

The House Public Works Com
mittee was asked to approve con-
struction of the SAL 900 Dog River
cutoff channel Tuesday by Con-
gresham William M. Colmer, who
testified before the committee in
behalf OF the project.
The proposed channel would be
~ feet deep and would extend
from the Escatawpa river bridge
through Robinson and Bounds
lake. The new channel would
eliminate four sharp bends from
the present navigation route,
would shorten the distance in
volved, and would divert the
Seavy river traffic In this area
from the Moss Point city water
front.
The route Is heavily used by
tugs and barges supplying the In
ternational Paper Company mill
at Kreole with pulpwood. and
menhaden fishing vessels which
transport their catches TO the two
fish meal plants above Moss Point.
II committee approval is gain
ed for the project, il will also
have to get the approval of the
budget bureau and would prob
ably be included in next years
omnibus rivers and harbors bill.
The project was given the APP
proval of the U. S. Corps of En-
eineers earlier this year.
