FaHout falls off
One-tenth Of peck
recorded Tuesddy
is Thursday report

Radioactive f fa1Iout in
P a sc a goula Thursday
m orning was estimated
down to one-tenth of the
peak recorded Tuesday.
A reading at $3.50 am. was
estimated at so units, COM
pared with 504 units 48 hours
earlier.
Robert r. Roster, Jackson,
in charge of the Pathological
measurements for the state
board Of health, told the
Chronicle tests we'll be made
on an around-the-clock basis
in Pascagoula until nuclear
testing by the Russians stops"
Tom Moore. Jackson. a
nuclear engineer with the
state board of health, Is
assigned TO Pascagoula to
conduct the tests.
Increase in the readings,
Roster said, is due to hurri-
cane Esther hating air masses
in the area causing the radio
activity reading to sky-rocket.
There is no danger unless
prolonged readings prevail.
This is not likely since the
readings are decreasing now
and are expected to continue
downward as Esther moves
farther away from the area.
Roster said readings in Pas
cagoula, measured in micro
microcuries, have been:
Sept. ID zero: Sept. is.
l.3; Saturday. "a; Sunday.
AZ; Monday. 472.6: Tuesday,
504. and Wednesday. 202.4.
Roster and co-workers were
in Pascagoula Tuesday con-
ferring with engineers after
the sudden jump in radioac-
tive fallout was noted.
He explained that if the
radioactivity was being
brought down with a surge of
polar air from the north that
the urricane disturbance
might have tendency to halt
the flow to a degree and thus
bring about the increase.

Points plan
OF area annexation
900 Escotdwpons
vote mo- Monday
at public meeting

Approximately 300 Esca-
tawpa citizens voted Mon
day against annexation by
Moss Point.
The group voted in favor of
having the county extend sew
er and water systems to Esca-
taWpa.
The meeting was organ
ICED by Dan MCQUEEN. Inter-
national Paper Company
assistant personnel director:
Sidney Smith. IPCo. time
office clerk. and Clyde
Oliver. ingalls, machinist
leaderman.
Mcqueen was appointed
temporary chairman.
The hour-and-a-half session
featured questions directed to
Beat Two supervisor E. A.
Khayat and to Karl Wiesen-
burg, special advisor to the
county board of supervisors.
Moss Point officials invited
to the session were unable to
attend, Mcqueen said.
He said, "We are deeply
concerned about this annexa-
alton. First, Moss Point says
they can give us sewerage, wa
ter and police protection. Then,
when we ask how long, their
reply, is a reasonable length of
time-about five years.
THE city was asked how
far Moss Point planned TO
extend their city limits and
they stated they did not
know" he said.
Officials of Jackson County
have acknowledged need of
utility services in the sur
rounding areas due to contin-
ued growth.
Supervisors have publicly
announced intention to extend
the services if Moss Point and
Pascagoula did not. Both cities
later announced plans for an
nexation, including the exten-
sion of water and sewer sys-
TENS to the areas.
Khayat told the group Mon
day the county plan was to
offer water and sewer exten-
sion on a revenue bond issue
basis. The people will pay for
their share Of the system on a
use basis, Khayat said.
Wiesenburg said. The e
county is in a position to go
into this extension because
of a federal grant of some
$600.000.
''Rates set up by engineers
will not exceed the present
Moss Point rate.
"If you have a good cesspool
that meets requirements of the
state board of health, you will
not have to tie on. Water will
be optional. You will have no
ad valorem tax to pay with
this utility system. And this
will include a fire station"
Wiesenburg said.
"The county asked the city
officials what they are in a
position to do. Today, this has

demanded
Stephenson charge
about slot machine
denied by captain

Dismissal of a second
Pascagoula policeman has
been demanded with an
affidavit filed by a private
citizen.
Filling station and auto
wrecker operator Dan K.
Stephenson charged Capt. J.
w. Johnson with allowing the
unlawful removal" of a slot
machine from police head
quarters.
AS in Stephenson's first
charge demanding the dis
missal Of Capt. J. B. Gibson.
mayor Ben L. Briggs said he
will not suspend or dismiss
the officer.
johnson denied the charge.
In his sworn statement,
Stephenson said that a slot
machine was seized about
July 20 at the Red Rooster
Cafe on Krebs Avenue.
It was taken to headquart-
ers, Stephenson alleged, and
was later removed by a man
Stephenson said was Wesley
Pierce, who was not identified.
Johnson said the slot ma
chine removed from the Red
Rooster place was still in pos
session of police and is being
stored at the city dog pound.
He said it is being kept at
the pound due to lack of stor-
age space at headquarters.
"We still have the machine"
Johnson said. Anyone who
doesn't think so can come see
it for themselves"
The affidavit states that
"J. w. Johnson, a police cap
tain :, was present at said
time and place and observed
what occurred but did moth
ing to prevent the unlawful
removal of said contraband
machine -"
Stephenson's covering let
ter demanding J o h n MS
dismissal was addressed TO
the city civil service COM
mission as well as to mayor
Briggs.
w. B. Mccullough, commits
sion chairman, said that the
commission views the situa-
ton as a matter on which
action must be originated by
the hiring authority, the ma
yor's office"
"As in the past" said Nc
Cullough, "the civil service
commission will investigate if
an officer is suspended or dis
charged and if he specifically
requests a hearing"
Stephenson's first charge
demanded the removal of
Capt. Gibson, saying he had
been involved in a public
fight with Det. Chief Owen
Davis.
Both Gibson and Davis
denied the charge.

My dear Mr.. President:
IN my message to the Third Legislature on April il,
800 stated as follows: ].
"Our, Rent Control Law has been challenged
in the courts. agree that it is not based on reals
tic and ~up-to-date conditions in the islands. It
was written, I believe, in local ordinances of the
former municipal councils and fixes rent ceilings
on rentals in force and effect on July !, 1947. In
addition, after a study of the situation here, do
not believe that we can justify control Of rentals
on commercial property as there is no emergency
situation involving such property"
Pursuant to the foregoing, I hand you herewith draft
ii a bill To Amend Certain Sections Of Title %, Chapter
81, Subc1apter III Of the Virgin Islands Code on the sub
ct OF Rent Controls.
These proposed amendments are intended to provide
a system of rent controls which is generally fair and equit-
lie; also for an orderly transition from and termination
Of emergency controls without undue dislocations or infla-
tionary price rises.
"A substantial number Of property owners, particu-
larly OF small properties, are earning little or nothing on
their properties because no provision is made in the pre-
sent law whereby owners of rental property may qualify
for increases in rents sufficient to offset unavoidable in
creaseS in operating costs for which they have not been
fully compensated, increases in services or facilities, and
or unique or peculiar circumstances. Under the proposed
new legislation provision is made whereby regulations can
be adopted designed to permit a landlord relief where he
can establish that his net annual return is fairly in
adequate.
While many landlords frankly have been deprived Of
some return, it is also true that tenants have required and
still require protection because of the total absence of va
cant housing. New housing construction has been so costly
II even persons Of medium incomes have suffered where
this has been the only shelter available to them.
I am also enclosing a memorandum from the Depart
ment Of Property and Procurement explaining this bill in
detail.
