State officials sued federal highway officials last year over regulations that would have opened the entire federal highway system to the double-trailer hookups. A state trooper spokesman said the settlement averted a possible loss of federal highway funding.

Graddlck said the twin trailer rigs will be allowed on all sections of the state's 828 miles of Interstate highway. Among the routes deleted from the federal government's designated routes were the notorious "Blood Alley" section of U.S. 80 from Selma to the Mississippi U.S. 98 from Interstate 10 at Daphne to the end of the four-lane near Falrhope.

rp3 PI Authorities go around liquor law to make case Anniston honors 'Miss Mildred' By ADAM NOSSITER Star Staff Writer Mildred Goodrich came back to the library she helped build Monday morning, not to lend books as she had so many times in the past, but to receive the thanks of many grateful Annistonians and to hear her name permanently linked to the library of which, in the words of Mayor Gertrude Williams, "she is the pillar." Mrs. Williams was one of about fifty friends and relatives of "Miss Mildred' attending a ceremony at Liles Memorial Library during which the library's reference section was named The Mildred Goodrich Reference Library. Miss Goodrich was born in Favetteville. Tenn. in Mrttfcv Kami IMiIm AUBURN (AP) Prosecutors, unsure about the status of a state law that forbids the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors, resorted instead to a seldom used statute and charged a store clerk with selling beer without a license.

Margaret Howe, 20, was granted youthful offender status, fined 8500 and given a 10-day suspended sentence by City Judge Richard Lane. Lane charged the woman with selling beer without a license, rather than selling beer to a minor. ABC agent Van Kominitsky said it was the "first case I know of" that has brought a conviction under those circumstances. Kominitsky said the prosecuting attorneys decided to seek the less-frequent-ly used charge because of questions about the latter charge that surfaced but week in an unrelated Dothan trial. In that case, a circuit Judge dismissed charges against a tavern owner charged with selling beer to a 16-year-old girl after ruling the state's prohibition on the sale of beer to minors applies only to the owner of the state-issued license.

Mrs. Howe, a part-time Auburn University student, was charged during a recent investigation of 16 convenience stores. Police said a youth was wired with a microphone and the transactions were monitored by police and Alabama Beverage Control Board agents. Local convenience store owners at the versity, took over the Carnegie Library (later to become the Anniston-Calhoun County Library) in 1920, there were about 8,000 books in stock, mostly classics of English literature. Only two books were allowed out at a time, and one of them had to be non-fiction.

When she left it 37 years later, the collection had increased six-fold. It was still solidly rooted in classics, but it also contained a healthy dose of history and biography, Miss Goodrich's personal favorites. And she had long since dropped the checkout limit. Pictures of Miss Goodrich taken around the time she became library director show a determined-looking, square-jawed young woman. And this is how she is remembered by people who grew up with the library.

She took a keen Interest in the books young people borrowed. Doug Stewart said his trial expressed concern that the Dothan ruling would shut down their businesses, saying the literal interpretation would mean only ABC license holders, which In most cases is the store owner, could legally sell alcoholic beverages. Lane said he would make no comment! about the case because the 15 other cases have yet to be heard. Kominitsky said he would Inform the state ABC board about the ruling and its possible implications. He assured the store owners that no additional arrests would be made under the charge brought against the woman until the ABC board makes its own interpretation.

"No one knows bow far this is going to go" said Kominitsky. "I don't think the ABC board is going to jump up tomorrow and shut everyone down." But he said there is a problem In Auburn. "We don't want to just open up this area to selling liquor to minors," said Kominitsky. "And It's pretty wide open now, when 16 of 18 places we go to sell to a minor. The woman's defense attorney argued that her case was one of "selective prosecution" and that convicting her on the charge of not being an ABC licensee was "obviously an attempt to come in the back door when you couldn't get in the front." He also said the woman had been "entrapped" by the youth who purchased the beer, who was granted immunity.

Mildred Goodrich, left, talks with Lois Goodwyn son as far as being interested in me was concerned," and Rose Kllby recalled, "She was always wanting to help everyone." David Eden, the library's present director, said that librarians like Mist. Goodrich were "purveyors of culture to the community." Eden said that "the interest in Shakespeare in this town could be a direct result of her efforts." wife remembers Miss Goodrich saying, "I want to screen every book you check out." "It was awful dry, but it was character-building," Stewart said. But if Miss Goodrich had high standards (she herself only says "we tried not to give 'em anything she always treated young borrowers with respect. Judge Bill Bibb said that unlike most librarians, "Miss Mildred never said sshhh." And she insisted that the young Bibb needed an adult's card at an early age. "I was about 9 at the time" said Bibb.

Others remember her as an affectionate mentor, a librarian who cared about the young people coming into her Jane Wheeler said, "I felt like she was a very loving per 1900. She came to Anniston at the age pf 11. Her father was a hiehwav engineer who, she said, built the roads to Piedmont and Jacksonville. When Miss Goodrich. fresh out of Columbia Uni H.L.

Callahan switches parties "I can only stand effectively for my conservative beliefs in the national Republican Party," he said, surrounded by relatives and GOP insiders. "Here on the local level, it really doesn't matter very much whether you are a Democrat or a Republican because virtually all of our local office-holders are conservatives. But in Washington, it is an entirely different matter," Callahan stated. Edwards, also a former Democrat, said in a statement released during the Callahan news conference that he welcomes Callahan "with open arms" into the Republican ranks. "It hasn't been too many years ago that I made the same move and I have never regretted it," said Edwards.

He called Callahan's decision another stop in "building a two-party system in our state." Callahan's switch came as no surprise to local Democrats, gearing up for the Edwards' race. "He hasn't been active in the party for a number of years," said Mrs. Pat Edington, vice chairwoman of the state Democrats. MOBILE (AP) U.S. Rep.

Jack Edwards welcomed former state Sen. H.L. "Sonny" Callahan into the ranks of the Republican Party with open arms, but held off immediately endorsing Callahan's candidacy for Edwards' seat. At a news conference Monday, Callahan announced he's quitting the Democrats to run in the GOP primary for Congress. Edwards is retiring after 20 years of representing the First District, which covers the southwest corner of Alabama.

Callahan, 51, who served in the Alabama Legislature for 12 years and ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor in 1982, said Edwards' endorsement would be a "tremendous plus" for any candidate. Regardless, Callahan said he expects to win the GOP primary against attorney William Stoudenmire, executive director of the Mobile County Republican executive committee. Callahan, a trucking executive in the port city, said the Democrat's national agenda was too "liberal" for him.

At a public meeting in Piedmont last summer, the commission heard countywide support for including Jacksonville in the service area, and the connection is tentatively set for 1988.

Glen Browder said Monday that he has received a written commitment from the Alabama Public Service Commission and a supporting letter from South Central Bell to include Jacksonville in the planned toll-free telephone service between Piedmont and the Anniston area. "This is a major step in the long fight for toll-free telephone service throughout most of the county," said Browder, who has been pushing the Piedmont project since his election in 1982. He made the announcement in a press conference at the Calhoun County Comm-mission office Monday.
