Regular Hours Al
Schools For First
Time Since 1871

For the first time since October
81, l941, all pupils in the Pasca-
goula school system are on a nor
NAL schedule, Thomas r. Wells,
city school superintendent, an
nounced. The regular hours be-
came effective for all students
Thursday.
Schools were put on double
shift with half the pupils attend
ing in the morning and the other
half in the afternoon when Pas
cagoula became so crowded dur
ing the height of the wartime ac-
tivity of the ingalls, Shipyard.
Gradually the smaller schools
were eased back into the regular
hours as enrolment dropped and
at the beginning of this year
there remained only a few grades
at South and Central Elementary
schools, the two largest in the
city, whose schedule had to be
adapted to an overload. Begin
ming Thursday these boys and
girls joined the others in a nor

The legislative investigating ommittee's probe into
conditions at Whitfield hospital for mental patients is draw
ing to a close, and a report is expected to be made this
week on the findings of the committee.
Serious charges were made concerning conditions at
the hospital by Rep. Hayden Campbell of Kinds county,
who said that his charges were based on personal obser-
vations, and are backed by sworn statements. The charges
involved lax administration, brutal treatment of patients,
and generally disgraceful conditions.
We hope the legislative investigating committee has
made a complete and serious probe into the charges and
that, If they are true, a full and public report will be made.
Whitfield has been the center of such charges for many
years past, and they have generally been met with a lick
and a political promise.
Other Mississippi public institutions have also been in
volved in various charges of maladministration There were
the startling charges of State Senator Fred Jones of Iver-
ness concerning the parole racket at Parchman. AS far as
we can see, Senator Jones never pursued his charges, which
involved peonage and the virtual sale of human beings
for political favor, and nothing was ever accomplished in
the way of a reform If Senator Jones statements were
true, someone should have been prosecuted, and if not they
should have been disproved.
Recently a Lauderdale county grand jury issued a
blistering criticism of the East Mississippi State Hospital
at Meridian where, the report said, patients and attend
ants are living and working under conditions that the State
of Mississippi should be ashamed of" The grand jury urged
that a copy of the criticism be directed to the governor of
the state and to the state building commission, stating that
"these people are aware of conditions but for some reason
no action is being taken"
There is often q tendency on the part of those respon-
sible to play down these conditions and seek shelter be-
hind walls of political favoritism. AS a result startling
charges are made, and promptly ignored or buried.
1t is high time that we face up to these conditions and
take necessary steps to correct them, for where there is so
much smoke there is bound to be some fire.
Civil service for workers in these institutions, increas-
ed pay so that able and honest attendants and employees
can be hired, political appointments on the basis of fitness
and ability are all factors in the situation.
We believe Rep. Campbell sincere in his charges con-
corning Whitfield, and there is bound to be some truth in
the mass of evidence that he has accumulated. We hope
the legislative investigating committee has sought out this
truth and will take steps to rectfy a situation that obvious
ly needed severe corrective measures long ago. Such meas
ures will also tend to set a pattern for other state institu-
tons. So NsMs.a1

The liquor bootlegging rack
ct continues to occupy the time
and attention of reform groups
throughout the state with va
ried results and a considerable
amount of publicity. At Nat

to place a partial cover over the
wide open flourishing liquor
business there. Injunctions were

not be confined to these places,

School Building Aid
Bill introduced In
Senate BY Stennis

Senator Stennis of Mississippi
has introduced a bill into the u.
S. Senate to authorize federal aid
for school districts overburdened
by increased school enrolment
incurred by war, defense or other
federal activity in construction of
additional school facilities. ac-
cording to notification received
this week by Superintendent of
Schools Thomas R. Wells. Senator
Stennis joined several other sem
ators who introduced similar bills.
This would authorize the ap-
preparation of $3.50, Zoo, 1000 for
construction of school facilities
in these areas on the basis of
school district needs, outstanding
Indebtedness and constitutional
or statutory debt limit.
The United States would pro-
vide needed facilities and the
school district would agree to
lease these facilities at an annual
rental of two per cent of the cost.
When the local district had paid
out so per cent of the actual cost.
the United States would convey
title to the facility to the school
district, according to the bill.
Senator Stennis and Eastland
and Representative Colmer re-
Gently appeared before the ap-
preparation committee to testify
as to the need for the $1,000. 900

his organization and himself.
Lauderdale county is up in
arms over the bootlegging sit
uation, as is Jones county.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Thomas L.
Bailey, state tax collector, filed
Chancery court proceedings
against 10 prominent Jones
county bootleggers for failure
to pay the state "black market"
tax. This tax, passed by the
state legislature during the term
of Mrs. Bailey'S late husband,
Governor Bailey, makes the
State of Mississippi part and
parcel of the bootlegging racket
by levying a 10 per cent tax on
the sale of whiskey. Vicksburg
has been collecting a similar
tax for some time now, and
Paseagoula will levy a 'black
market" tax of 10 per cent be-
ginning April LIST. Unofficial
tribute on the illegal racket is
paid in many other counties
and cities, but of course there
is no record of these payoffs
as they go to elected officials
and others in a position to levy
tribute.
All of the fuss and furore has
had little effect on whiskey
peddling throughout the state.
Sales continue as brisk and vir-
tually as open as ever. AS a mat
ter of fact, it strikes us as hard
ly reasonable to expect officers
to enforce the prohibition laws
while the state government in
the form of the tax collector is
pushing him aside in order to
get there first for the taxes.
