Mississippi Sees The Light Of New Day

attitude toward industry and Industrial
ously since the days when no industry
valued at one million dollars was even
wanted in the state! This has not been
because of any one person or one political
administration but because Mississippians
as a whole nave walked up to the fact that
industry brings much needed jobs and
payrolls for people who need work.
This change in attitude began in earnest
Whites original Balance Agriculture With
Industry Act and has continued undated
until this good day. We confidently ex-
pect it to continue.
The new refinery, construction OF which
is expected to start soon, will employ
700 people in the beginning and is expect
ed TO increase in size and employment.
Even more important, it will eventually
industries in the petroleum and chemical
fields. And these will employ hundreds
more people!
The new refinery, together with the
three other smaller refineries in the state,
will give Mississippi a total refining capac-
ity of about ninety per cent of the states
daily crude oil production. No longer will
the black gold be sent out of Mississippi
to be refined. 1t will be processed at home
with Mississippi workmen doing the job.
1t is a foregone conclusion, certainly,
that members of the Legislature will APP
prove these state constitutional amend
ments in the form necessary as speedily
as possible whereupon they will be voted
overwhelmingly by the states electorate.
Mississippi marches ahead into what we
have every reason to believe will be a
glorious future, industrially speaking, any
way.

This is truly an historic week in Missis-
sippi.
The Legislature in its extraordinary
session, on call from the Governor, to
vote two amendments to the state consti-
tuition in order to make certain that Mis-
sissippi will be awarded a $125, 600, 900
oil refinery.
We might say the fabulous new indus
try,largest ever established in Mississippi
and the largest initial refinery to be built
in the nation, in a way is a sort of gift
from the United States Justice Depart
mentor it is because of a ruling of the
Justice Department that the new refinery
is being built at all.
Before the Justice Department would
approve the merger sought by Standard
Oil of Kentucky with Standard Oil of Cal
ifornia it required the Kentucky operation
to go elsewhere for its supply in the in
terest of keeping alive competition in the
industry. Formerly Kentucky had secured
some eighty per cent of its requirements
from the ESQ refinery in Baton Rouge.
This meant the new refinery had to be
built near a supply of crude oil in an area
that would offer opportunities for econo-
mical processing and speedy transporta-
ton to market.
The choice boiled down to Mobile in
Alabama, Pascagoula on the Mississippi
Gulf Coast, and some possible sites in
Louisiana remote from the Baton Rouge
area and the ESQ installation there.
Fortunately, Bayou Casotte was ready
for just such far-reaching development
due to vision, foresight, planning and
preparation on the part of a good many
state citizens as well as those of Jackson
County who had and have their eyes on
the future.

ready and able buyers. One
brokers says that he has more
than 5000 million available for
such investments, particularly
in the manufacturing field.
The demand to purchase bust
nesses is strong in the East, also.
A New York City broker says
demand is growing and far ex-
ceeds the supply, A Boston 60
between reported recently that
he had a client with a million
dollars to spend but could find

NEWSLETTER

The future OF flood control
programs throughout northwest
Mississippi will come before the
Public Works Committees of the
Congress for decision either in
1862 Or 1868. The Corps of En-
gineers has recently completed
a comprehensive review report of
the entire Mississippi River tri-
butary food control system. If
this report is adopted by the
Congress without major modi-
fication the flood control pro-
grams still urgently needed
throughout the Mississippi Delta
and the adjacent bluff hills area
will be choked off far short of
the essential goal of complete
flood protection for the area.
Specifically the report calls
for no major changes in the
present plans for the Yazoo
headwater area, even though
additional work should be
authorized for Leflore, Talla-
hatchie, Carroll. Quitman, Tun-
lea, Pamela and DeSoto Coun-
ties. The Yazoo backwater pro-
iect, vital through the South
Delta. would be severely limit
ed by withdrawing the present
authority for pumping plans.
The Big Sunflower project, on
which most of the flood control
and drainage work in the mid
Delta depends, would be re-
stricted to its present author
ization.
In addition to these limita-
tons, the flood control program
in Jul rear would be further
curtailed by the restrictions
which the limited runoff capac-
itv of the streams would bring.
Few, if any, of the projected
Soil Conservation Service water
shed projects would be approx
ed because the rivers would
lack the capacity for additional
runoff. All types of local drain
age activity would have to be
sharply limited.
These and other short-sighted
aspects of the review report
are the result of a study con-
Quoted under the outmoded
rules and restrictions imposed

ton. l have formally recon-
mended to Lieutenant General
