Group Urges Old
Courthouse Be
Used AS Museum

A group representing the Jack
son County Historical Society and
other county groups presented a
petition to the board of super
visors Monday asking that the
present courthouse on Delmas
avenue be preserved as a museum.
The petition was read on be-
half of the group by Mayor Bob
Cirlot of Moss Point, who told
the board that the petitioning
group was a token representation
of those interested in preserving
the present courthouse.
The petition said in part that
the signers felt that the county
should preserve and safeguard
the memories and incidents in
the history of the county and that
this can be accomplished by
maintenance and conservation
of u present unique historical
landsites."
The petition appealed to the
board of supervisors to "retain
title to the present historical
courthouse in order that such
building may be set aside and
preserved as a museum and as
such become a mecca not only for
residents of this county and state
but for all the peoples of this,
our United States"

would be to use the building as
a War Memorial to those who
died in the World Wars.
The building would be used to
perpetuate the memory and his
tory of the Pascagoula Indians,
of the legend of the Singing river
and of the French and Spanish
settlers as well as other phases of
county history, with Individual
rooms in the building furnished
as a typical home of a given his
torical period, as we'll as the nat
ural resources and products of
the county's modern industry.
The petition concludes with the
request that, if it is favorably re-
ceived by the board, the Historic
al Society of Jackson county be
allowed to assume control of the
building as custodian on a trial
basis and after plans have been
submitted by the director of His
tory and Archives for the State
of Mississippi, If approved, the
plan would be carried out with
out any cost or expense to Jack
son county, with the Historical
Society additionally agreeing to
maintain the museum and grounds
without cost or expense to the
county.
A. P. Moran, president. thanked
the group on behalf of the board
and told them that the matter
would be taken under advise
ment. He assured them that any
action taken would be with the
approval of the majority of the
county's citizens.

Historic Biloxi, City Of CoIorfuI Past,
Observes 25Oth Anniversary Week

A week long celebration and
series of events were planned to
mark the 250th anniversary of
historic Biloxi depicting its col
orful history under eight flags.
The Bishop Richard Gerow Of
Natchez celebrated a solemn high
mass at the Nativity Church on
Sunday morning which was a
fitting beginning of the anniver-
sary, for when Biloxi vas found
ded by d'Iberville mass was said
on that day by a Jesuit priest who
accompanied the explorer from
Canada.
In his talk Bishop Gerow re-
viewed the historical background
of Mississippi and Biloxi begin
ming with DeSoto. In the after
noon the history was continued by
a colorful pageant depicting the
landing of d%'Iberville, which was
presented on the eastern shore
OF Biloxi Bay, the site of Fort
Maurepas, nov the city of Ocean
Springs, which was once called
Old Biloxi.
The pageant was written and
directed by Mrs, Orwin Scharr
and enacted the landing of Pierre
Charles lie Moyne d'Iberville and
his little band of followers from
the good ship, "Badine." Coming
ashore the small group were
greeted by the Indians and after
a peaceful reception d'Iberville
planted the flag of France in the
ground and claimed the land in
the name of the King. Thus the
first day of celebration was de-
Dictated to France.
The highlight of Mondays pro-
gram, which was dedicated to Eng
land. was to have been a parade
of Biloxi shrimp trawlers and
other fishing boats in the after
noon, but this was cancelled due
to inclement weather. However
the ~seafood industries held open
house.
Five hundred students in 10
coast bands paraded through
downtown Biloxi on Tuesday af-
ternoon on the third day of the
celebration led by Biloxi high
students who carried the eight
flags which have flown over
Biloxi.
Band Parade
The Pascagoula high So piece
band in charge of G. F. Rooney,
band director. occupied the No, l
position in the parade. 1t was
followed by the Notre Dame AZ
piece band, Biloxi and Gulfport
high in sequence. Other bands
in the parade were Moss Point,
under the direction of James R.
Bishop, Gulf Coast Military Aca-
DENY. Sacred Heart. Ocean
Springs and st. Stanislaus.
AT night the bands presented
a massed concert and also rem
dered individual numbers. Drum
majors and twirlers gave exhibit
tionS and special music was play
ed as students presented the
eight historical flags.
Army Day was observed on
Wednesday with a parade of
Keesler Air Force Units, National
Guards. Organized Reserves, Nav
al reserves, COMA cadets and

Representatives of the tuna
packing industry left Pascagoula
this week after a Today stay for
California where they will at
tend a meeting next week that
it is hoped will result in the es-
tablishment OF the first Gulf
Coast tuna packing plant at Pas

Gilbert Van Camp, head of one
of the West Coasts largest tuna
packing firms, arrived here Sum
day night and stayed through
Tuesday inspecting local facili-
ties-and studying the advantages
offered at Pascagoula.
Other representatives of Cali
fornia packing companies are
scheduled to arrive here during
sthe next several days.
Seek Government Vessels
Meanwhile State Representa-
tive Hermes F. Gautier has start
ed a movement through Cover
nor Fielding L. Wright and Rep
resentative William M. Colmer to
obtain two government expert
mental fishing boats that are
presently laid up at Seattle, Wash.
The vessels are the Oregon and
Alaska. They are 100 feet in
length and were built and
equipped by the federal govern
ment for extensive experiments
in locating and studying new
fishing grounds. They are pres
emily owned by the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation and
will shortly be put up for sale.
Plans call for securing these
two vessels to be operated by the
Gulf Coast Research laboratory,
which has been established by
the state institutions of higher
learning at Ocean Springs. The
State has thrown its weight be-
hind this development and plans
are to make it one of the out
standing marine research labor
atories in the country.
Inasmuch as the tuna industry
will be new to this area the YES
sells would be invaluable in con-
Quoting exploratory work in the
Gulf, certain areas of which are
known to contain tuna.
The visit of representatives of
the tuna industry brings to a head
plans made during a trip to the
West Coast in July of last year
ny W. ID. IlGfIliiB dllu wi. 1du-
tier, who contacted packers at
that time and interested them in

Push Access Road
The Pascagoula Port Commits
sion will be asked to allocate APP
proximately 1000 feet of river
frontage on the reclaimed land
on the West bank of the river
adjacent to the LIN railroad as
a site for the tuna plants. Such
an area will accommodate some
five to six ~canneries, it is esti-
mated. Concentrating these plants
in one area will offer advantages
to both the industry and commu-
nifty.
Meanwhile, the access road to
the new rea was being pushed
by county crews. The United
States Engineers have granted the
Port Commission a 70-foot right
of way across the rear of the en-
gineer boat repair yard for the

quiring police Intervention in at
least two party rallies. The first
disturbance occurred at meeting

Parliament Breakup,
New Election Likely
On Issue Of Leopold
By the Assoeioied Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Aug. g.
Belgium-her three chief political
parties deadlocked over whether
exiled King Leopold should re-
gain his throne-today faced the
threat of another Parliament
breakup to be followed by general
elections.
Delegates of the three parties
met four hours last night to study
a message from Leopold declaring
that his royal future rests with
Parliament.
Leopold's message followed a
40-day deadlock which has left
Belgium without a government.
The conferees failed to agree on
a compromise to form one but will
reconvene today.
A spokesman for the pro-Leo-
pold Social Christian Party said
agreement seemed impossible. >"
The Socialists made 1t clear their
party is not ready to enter the
coalition government.
Met Party officials Earlier.
The Liberals had no comment
to make. The Socialists and
Liberals are anti-Leopoldist.
Several delegates agreed that
Leopolds message had done little
to clarity the intricate situation.
In his message the King indi-
Gated that Parliament alone could
decide whether he should be re-
stored to the throne. Some po-
litical observers have said a
popular referendum might be the
solution to the problem.
While accepting in principle a
popular referendum on his re-
turn, Leopold refused to say
whether he would abide by the
results OF such a referendum.
The King declared a referen-
dunn could only give an indication
of the Belgian peoples opinion to
himself and to Parliament.
Leopold had met delegates OF
the three parties at his Switzer-
land residence IN Pregny carrier
this week.
New Attempt Seen Doomed.
An attempt of CASTOR Eyskens,
Social Christian premier-desig-
nate, to form a three-party gov
ernment seemed doomed to
failure.
The Socialists are against en-
tering a government which would
propose a popular referendum on
the royal question.
The Liberals are not willing to
enter the government if the So
cialists stay in the opposition.
A cabinet of Social Christians
alone is not likely to get the
needed votes of confidence in a
Chamber of Deputies where the
party lacks majority.
The only solution seemed to
many observers to be dissolution
Of the present Parliament and
new elections within 40 days.
