Highway Program JACKSON - The Mississippi Economic Council has called f?r a national highway pr.9gra!11 m which the states would be primarily responsible for construction. The council issued a statement Tuesday saying the function of t~e federal government ~ho~ld ~e primarily one of coordmat1on in the interests of interstate commerce and national defense. Conwell Sykes, Greenville bank-er and chairman of the MEC's National affairs committee, said fed_ eral aid funds should be matched .by states in not less than equal amounts, except on the interstate highway system where the federal share should be a major part of the cost.
Injunction JACKSON - Mississippi Valley Gas Company holds ,a temporary injunction prohibiting the city Of.

The company is seeking to make the injunction permanent. CotnpanY attorneys termed the two per cent ordinance an "arbitrary and lllegal tax" but the city charged the company's refusal to pay is, in attorneys words, "a left handed method of forcing the city to give them a franchise."

An employe of the Tupelo Area Artifical Insemination Association was seriously injured T u e s d ay when one of the TAAIA's bulls attacked him at the association's stud barns. W. T. Millwood, who resides on the Old Saltillo Road, suffered serious back inju:ries and bruises when attacked by the bull in the hall of the breeding association's barn early Tuesday morning. The injured man is being treated at Community Hospital. Cecil Trawick, TAAIA manager, and Ted Earrey, a technician, rescued Mr. Millwood from the enraged bull by driving the animal away from his body. The injured .man was r.aretaker for the TAAIA's bull stud. The bull that attacked him was Sparkling Sir Standard Sir, one of the association's oldest and best Jo;,nown bulls. The Jersey bull has a reputation for being the most vicious and temrpermental male in any breed of cattle. Horns on the TAAIA bulls have been sheared but the animals are still considered dangerous. ,. . t. •., .. - .:..-
HATTIESBURG, Miss. -Ccmstruction of a real "blue chip" industrial plant, an oil refinery which will process .Mississippi crude oil into gasoline and other products for sale throughout the South is ijnder way on the banks of Black Creek in Lamar County, officials of the firm said Tuesday.. In terms of total , investment, the Black Creek Refinery will be one of Mississippi's largest industries. It will cost about $18,000,000.00 to build and put into operation. Pontiac Eastern Corporation, Corpus Christi, Tex.. will build and operat_e the huge refinery. The Gulf Refining Company will supply from its prodw:tion In the Bavterville and Heidelberg Fields the volume of crude oil necessary to operate the refinery, and will purchase a large· percentage of the refinery's products for sale through the Gulf's ~foi:teastern marketing organiza-
and the Bankers Trust Company, New York. In acquiring the Lamar County plant site, Pontiac Eastern Corporation purchased some 2,000 acres, which is considerably more acreage than is necessary for the refip.ery alone. The potential for expansion and growth from this basic plant is evident in the fact that more than 2300 products, ineluding a large number of plastics and chemicals now can be manufactured frorn crude petroleum and by-products of refining.

Journal Staff Writer Circuit Judge Raymond T. Jarvis directed Tupelo police Tuesday to return 90 cases of beer they had seized from a Union County man but urged the City of Tupelo to appeal his ruling to the Supreme Court In ~nnouncing his ruling, Judge Jarvis criticized the state's beer law as being almost impossible to enforce and added that he thought possession of beer should be made a crime in counties where it has been voted out . The judge ruled that James Malone was ent~tled to th': $540 worth of b_eer seized from him by Tupelo pohce last August. Mr. Ma. lone had entered suit against Chief of Police Robert Monaghan for return of the beer, charging that it had been illegally seized from him. 'But the circuit judge took the occasion to urge the City of Tupelo to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court to get a high court ruling on .whether character and reputation testimony could be used by the city as a defense in such cases. The judge ruled Tuesday that the city could not bring in Mr. Ma!one's character and reputation. On this ruling the city's case in the law suit collapsed and the judge granted a motion by Mr. Malone's attorneys that the jury be instructed to return a verdict for their client. The city and Mr. Monaghan tried to put testimony about Mr. Malone's reputation before the jury. The testimony was scheduled to be given by Union County Sheriff Luther Hamilton, Union County justice of the peace Tommy Owens ;1:btee County Constable E.arnest

Sale Of Christmas S·eals Needs Greater Increase The citizens of Tupelo and Lee County are being urged to in_ crease their purchases of Christmas Seals in order to cover the cost of the county's fight against TB for 1956, it was announced Tuesday by Mrs. M. M. . Foster, chairman of the county Christmas Seal committee. The Christmas Seal drive has gained only $1,140 so far this year, Mrs. Foster said, and 40 percent of this will go to the state organization for further work in the fight against tuberculosis. The

r est of the money remains in the county but it will .take at least $3,500 to care for the TB victims in Lee County next year. Mrs. Foster went on to point out that there are 30 patients in the county who are now getting a new drug that costs an average of $1.75 a day per person over a long period of time. This means that the drug will cost $52.50 a day for the entire group. The drugs now being used by the county in TB treatment have been developed over the last few years and ,a re the first drugs that have successfully ar_rested the progress of the disease. They have cut the time of recove~:r for the disease victims by a wide margin, Where any progress against TB took years in the past, Mrs. Fost er said the patient now is able to be up and around again in months,_Qccasionally it takes a few years for the drugs to completely arrest the disease but even in these . cases it is a shorter period than before. . _H owe.ver. the drugs are only part of the · expense" Mrs. Foster explained. Transportation also has to be provided to and from the hospitals for the yictims, xrays have to be paid .f or when the patient can't afford them and a number of other expenses have to
90 Percent Supports On 'Top Grade Crops' Under Consideration
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (U>) Agriculture Secretary Ezra T . Benson disclosed tOday that the Eisen~o';;r ad~ninistration is "explormg th_e idea of restoring 90 per cent price supports on "top quality products only," While . emp~asizing he is not abandoni~g his flexible suppo:ct pla!l: wh1~ h has become an angry political issue.

In ~efense of flexible supports he said: "I do f!.O.t believe we get anywhere by ra:ismg prices above the levels where commOdities wm .sell.: .we must market what the public . wants and at price levels that will clear the market." · The general idea of restoring M per. cent supports on top-grade basil: farm. crops has . attracted bacl\:.mg from several leading farm belt senators. including Chairman Allen J.

Under present law, supports may range from 75 to 90 per cent. The "basics" are wheat, corn, cotton, peanuts, rice and tobacco. Tobacco still is supported at 90, per · cent under a special law. · Benson said he does not consider the idea of r.aising ·supports oil ·top-grad,e commoditi.e s on the gov• ernm~nt s support list as a com• promise. -------
