17-year-old Barbara Duquett,
the Rockets queen for the day,
saw Allen fire "a yards to
Isreal for a first down on the
Bladensburg nine that set up
Brian Wright's courtyard touch
down run. Wright's 35-yard
punt return had started the
drive.
Bladensburg's Burt Holcomb
got back one of the scores on a
29-yard pass to John Savia, but
seven plays later Allen threw to
Isreal in the flat and Butch
squirmed 10 yards to the Mus
tang one. After Charlie Snow
denis I'd was called back, Allen
threw to Bill Coulhart for the
third Rocket score.
RMHSs last I'd came mid
way in the third quarter after
Bill Morrison recovered a
tumble on a Bladensburg fake
punt. Isreal got his second
touchdown on a 19-yard heave
from Allen and Lester sent the
subs in to finish the game.
Although Bladensburg COM
pleted nine of 81 passes for ITO
yards, four of these including
a touchdown - were aimed
against the second string and
Lester felt his teams pass de-
tense did well. Ken Magee in
tercepted two passes, and Isreal
and Richard Prugh each nabbed
one. Magee also got a tumble.
Richard Montgomery's vic
tory string will get its toughest
test of the season this Saturday
at Northwood. The Indians will
not only be the biggest and
toughest team that Rockville
has faced this season, but &C.
cording to Lester, the fastest.

tenance and operation thereof by
the county at its expense for a
period of time not to exceed nine
ty-nine (99) years, or SO long as
any such person, firm or corpora
ton, continues to use said proper
ty for industrial purposes.
None knows to what extent
port authority may wish to use its
powers in the future. But the law
IS strong enough to urge maximum
caution by its users.
Again the public, through its
representatives, places great faith
IN local governing unit - the
board Of supervisors-and its crea-
tons, port authorities and the like.
The new law beefs up boards by
spelling out their eminent domain
power. "In the exercise of eminent
domain, the county, acting through
the port authority or development
commission" says the law, shall
determine the amount and charact-
er of the land or estate therein thus
to be acquired and the public nee
essity for such exercise and their
determination shall be conclusive
and shall not be subject to attack
in the absence of manifold abuse
Of discretion or fraud. -"
Obviously the law gives super
visors powerful tool. With it they
may accomplish much in the public
interest. AS with any such privi-
lege, though, the responsibility it
carries may not be as obvious.

Long before public knowledge
Of the Standard Oil Refinery plan,
company officials called on Gov.
Ross Barnett at the Mansion, got
assurance of a 40-foot channel at
Bayou Casotte as part of the con-
struction agreement.
Just in advance of noon Thurs
day, then, the Senate hurriedly
passed 'backup" bill. so to speak,
to assure a channel deep enough
for the big:tankers destined for it.
Now law, the measure enables the
Jackson County Port Authority to
deepen the channel if the U. S.
Engineers do not.

tomarY first step. and we think the
Engineers will do the job all right"
In any event, the new law gives
port authorities and county de-
velopment commissions extensive
powers of eminent domain. Know
ing that, Sen. Stanford Morse of

the floor, emphasized that any

Indeed the law is detailed. 1t
gives port authorities and develop
ment commissions the right not
only to maintain channels but also
to control wharves, even operate
air and rail terminals. They may
operate marine railways, tugboats,
warehouses and perform a multi
tude of other functions advised by
a board of supervisors. Under no
circumstances, though, Morse said,
would any property taken 60 for
private gain.
No question exists but what the
