Thursday that he is still hopeful
of getting his civil rights pro-
gra through Congress, however,
he would make no comment on the
recent filibuster carried on IN
the Senate.
In reply to a question as to
whether he was anticipating the
appointment of DR.. Ralph Bunche
as ambassador to Moscow, the
President said he had been try
ing to persuade General Walter
B. Smith, the present ambassador
to retain his post.
A reporter then asked the pres
ident if DR.. Bunche's name had
not been mentioned as a possible
candidate for the position. The
Presidents answer was that sew
eral names had been mentioned
mainly by columnists.
The press conference was open
ed with an announcement that MI.
Truman had cancelled his two
speaking engagements in New
York on April 10 and %. Inc
President said that all Of his time
will be spent, from daylight to
dark trying to clear up the pie
of work on his desk, which &C
cumulated during his Florida va
cation and seeing various sena-
tors and congressman who had re-
ouested appointments with him.
This statement brought a series
of questions from the reporters
They wanted to know what the
lawmakers wanted to talk to the
President about. To this the
President answered that he always
saw senators and congressman
whenever they requested to see
bim-that had been his policy ev-
err since he had been in the White
House.
Laughingly, he added that there
had always been a close relation
ship between him and the Con-
.gress. despite the comments by
newspapers.
In reply to the question as to
whether any southern senators had
requested to see him, MI. Truman
said ga few. He always saw
southern senators WIloii0NSA Wy
requested it just as he did any
other brand, and that Republicans
e also welcomed to see him up
on request.
"The White House is sort OF al
sat home to all congressman then
isn't it Mr.. PRESIDENT" asked one
of the reporters.
"The White House is an al
home for the business of the gov
ernment," answered the President
He would not comment on the
Rent Control bill which has jus
passed the Senate.
However, he vas high in hi
praise of the appointment OF DR.

In Moss Point at the Young

a historical exhibit of especial
interest to all citizens of Jack

by the Jackson County Historical
society.
The next point of interest will
be the flower garden of MI. and
Mrs. John Hill. Comparatively
new from a viewpoint of garden
ing time the flower beds are a

while not in full bloom promises
a wealth of roses later. On one
of the highest terraces in town

sweep down to the bayou with a
fringe of thrift in bloom on the
crest of the terrace.
One of the showplaces in Moss

dens. These gardens contain
sixty-five dogwood trees and
twelve red bud trees and a wealth
OF azaleas. Daphne Salmon, Moss

Formosa are all so artfully used
that there is no clash of color.
Hundreds of King Alfred daffo-
dis, tulips, blue Dutch iris,
thrift and pansies fill the flower
beds, while a mass of Easter lilies
and Amaryllis form a garden of
their own. Rose gardens and a
trellis covered with Paul Scarlet
roses will appeal to rose lovers.
An information booth will be
placed near the Collie Towing COM
pany offices by the Pascagoula
River bridge. Members of the
hostess garden clubs will distri-
butte pamphlets with the gar
dens which are open to the pub
lie listed and in addition a list of
grounds that are worthy of no
lice either for their prolific bloom
Or their specimen plants.
The route of the tour will be
distinguished by red and green
markers and hostesses will re-
ceive the guests at each of the

May Seek Assembly
|Action on Bond Issue
BY q Stor Sfoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. "a. - Legisla-
ton to require the st. Marys County
Commissioners to issue $3.50, 0,000
worth of school construction bonds
will be introduced in the General
Assembly unless the county heads
reverse their stand last week against
the bond sale.
This was revealed here today by
Oliver r. Guyther, a member OF the
county legislative delegation.
OF the total amount, 100000 was
authorized at last years special ses-
sion of the Legislature while the
remaining s350,000 was placed be.
fore the voters in a referendum.
Although the proposal was ap.
proved overwhelmingly in the refer.
endum, according to Mr.. Guythel
the commissioners have refused II
issue the bonds.
Plans Last Appeal Tomorrow.
He said he would make a fina
appeal for issuance of the bonds al
| the commissioners meeting tomor'
row. If they reject his request, Mr.
Guyther added, he will introduce
his bill this week.
Our public schools are the worst
in the State according to Uni.
versity of Maryland survey last
year." Mr.. Guyther declared. "1he
county's population has more than
doubled in the last eight years and
its schools simply have not kept
pace with the increase"
The delegate insisted that the
county would have ample funds to
pay off the bonds in IA years, as
recommended last summer by
committee headed by Mr.. Guyther
Cites Expected Revenue Rise.
He pointed out that approximate
iy $150,0O0 in additional revenue is
expected during the coming year.
This includes $4,000 from slot ma
chimes, $3.50 from the State school
incentive fund, $4,000 from liquor
licenses and about $4,000 resulting
from increased real estate assess
ments.
Mr.. Guyther said the three coun-
ty commissioners are members Of
the "old line" county Democratic
organization and apparently are un-
willing to permit credit for the bonds
to 90 to the faction of which he is
a member.
IF these bonds aren't Sold" Mr..
Guyther said, II don't know how our
schools could care for the increased
enrolment"

has been built which carries three
mikes" tilted to pick up various
sections of the orchestra.
Since each auditorium in which
the concerts are held has a different
state arrangement, requiring some
changes in the seating Of the musi-
clans, 1t Is necessary before every
concert to work out blend OF the
music which sends each section OF
