More than 50.000 persons at tended the two-day event which ended last night at city auditorium with a dance honoring Rita Mcintosh, the new Queen of the Tennessee valley, selected Friday night. Yesterday's crowd was no comparison in numbpr to the mob which jammed downtown Paris Friday. But the late-comers' appetites and enthusiasm were sharp as fish bones.

They giggled at the Junior parade, squaled in the midway rides, chatted with old friends, and went home stuffed after the dance. 'Best in History' Officials of the Chamber which sponsors the fish fry and the month-long- fishing rodeo, which began Friday, called this year'a festival the best in history. Karen Richardson, a high school freshman from Spring-ville, said, "I wouldn't be at all surprised if the President of the United States is invited next year." "It's getting bigger and better all time." she added. "The only thing wrong it that it comes only once a year." No cases of sickness from overeating were reported. And.

so far as Paris police and doctors knew, no one was hurt from swallowing a fish bone. The excitement did catse one woman driver to put her car In the wrong gear and run into a house trailer near the fish fry tent. She was not injured. Reporter Locked In A reporter who rushed to the top of a five-story building to pho tograph Friday's parade was locked on the roof for the duration of the hour-and-a-half parade. He was blistered by the sun.

About the only persons glad to see the fish fry come to an end were the cooks who labored over the boiling- kettles where the fish and hushpuppies sir.zled. Rodger Van Dyke, one of the cooks, ate a pint of ice cream during hit rest period yesterday afternoon. "I've loked at fish, smelled fish, and cooked fish until I'm tired of them," he said.

Ky. Trigg counti pro gram for slum clearance amd pub lic housing has been approved by the Federal Housing and Horn finance agency at Washington. Formal approval ot a workable program Is a prerequisite for fed eral assistance in loans and grants for alum clearance and rehabilitation, for public housing, for liberal types of FHA mortgage insurance of project areas, and for rehous ing displaced lamiiiea. Housing Administrator Norma a B. Mason said Trigg county quali fied under the federal program because of Ha proximity to Bark-ley lake.

Forced Movaa Cited County Judge R. H. Upton, a leader in getting the program ap-p roved, said an estimated 300 Trigg farm families and 50 families in Cadii, the county aeat, will he displaced when the Berkley dam reservoir la flooded during 1960-61. -Because of this forced moving of families. Trigg officials aaid they are interested In becoming eligible for all allocations of federally-assisted, low-rent public housing units.

Judge Upton aaid the number of unite to be re quested still is undetermined. Trigg officials also indicated they would seek certification for a number of unita of low-cost private housing under FHA. mortgage insurance. Codes and Regulation The workable program require enactment of numerous building codes and regulations. Upton aaid Trigg county now has electrical and gas codes.

It haa adopter! a schedule which calls for enactment of building and plumbing; codes by April 1960 and a housing code by the end of 3960. The county does not ha a planning commission because vf the lack of state enabling legislation, the judge noted. Trtgg officials, however, reported they are supporting a bill to be presented to the state legislature to enable counties to establish planning and zoning commissions. Carroll Highway Law Discussed HUNTINGDON. Tenn.

Approxi mately 100 persona attended a meeting in the courthouaa hera yesterday to discuss Tuesday' referendum on a new Carroll county road law and a general sessions court. Questions ware answered by D. D. Maddox, direct representative from Carroll county, and Sen. John Padgett, who introduced the road law and aeaaiena court acta in the atata legislature.

The proposed road bill calls for five road directors, who would employ a supervisor of roads. At present, the county haa four road commissioners. A ganeral aaaaien court would replace juitieea of the peace immediately, should votara approve. The firat judge would be appointed by Gov. Buford Ellington.

If the vet la negative, the county will not have a aeaaiena court until the atata general aet aetting up aeaaiona courts bo-cornea affective. D. C. I Buck) Crider and K. M.

Mother fretted, fixed dresses, and combed hair for the paraders as they approached the judging stand. Fathers wielded famllv cameras, and grandmothers and grandfathers thought it was all "just grand." Silyer Dollars Awarded One woman watched her granddaughter ride past and com mented, "Isn that the cutest thinsr you have ever seen?" Richard E. Maxwell, president of the Chamber of Commerce l.J ll nsnutn om silver aoiiars sua iro Ax-mrrtm unl 4a till Dallerien pretties girl; Bill Holt most recent federal court ruling that all schools operated by the" same controlling authority must remain open or closed. Under the district arrangement, only the school threatened with desegregation would be controlled by that one authority. The committee also auggetted drastic measures to preserve white supremacy on election day.

On the expressed theory that most Alabama Negroes would fail a strict intelligence test, committee members proposed a push-button voter' registration law with test paper graded by an electronics device. As Andrews, the originator of the plan, observed, "If the Negroes want, to mie someonelet them sue the machines." He referred to the threat court, action against registration officials who turn prospective Negro voters down. Another recommendation would restore the provisions of Alabama's cumulative poll tax which were rubbed out five years I "OUIQ cost pine new VOierB I it would cost (some in lumP tum for every year between the ages of 21 and 45. The present law goes back only two years for a maximum back payment of $3. Other Issues besides the governor's tax program-are likely to stir up a fight.

In fact, Black Belt legislators armed with A powerful new filibuster weapon, have spoken of the possibility of a general slow-down rampaign. Because of that threat, and for tactical reasons, Patterson probably will ask the legislature to interrupt the regular session and reconvene in special session to consider school needs separately. Patterson has taken up the cry for legislative reapportionment and may face trouble there, too. Andrews and his group have served notice they will tie up f- handsome boy; Patricia Jean Wright, prettiest float; Ernie Greer, most original float; Joe Mitchell and Debbi Veazy. most original costumes; and Kathy Cole, most beautiful coatume.

"The kids are coming Into prom inence In the fish fry," one father said. "We parents like to see our children out there as well as the big girls In convertibles." Another father, W. H. Wright, whose daughter won first place for her float, said, "This is work. lit takes as much effort to get one of these little ones dressed as it does to build a floRt." KmnAm Maxwell said yesterday ha be lieves the Paris extravaganza has made catfish more popular in the Paris area.

"Of course it Is already the most popular dinner in the South." he added. "But what we want to do is make fishing more popular in general." The program started here In 1P53 after Paris and the Chamber of Commerce abandoned their annual "Mule day." "It just got to we eouldn't find enough mules to have a show." Maxwell said, "and we had to change to something more popular." Mule day was celebrated the first Saturday in May during the 1940s. D. E. Roberts, a veteran observer of "Mule day," eaid every man also brought about 10 knives to trade.

Each year also brought 50 hound dogs to be traded for mules, knives, or any other movable object. The annual fish fry square dance has helped to make the fish fry celebration just as popular with Henry countians as was "Mule day." Rodeo Adds Interest The fishing rodeo, which lasts throughout this month, with the angler landing the biggest fish being awarded an outboard motor, 'also'adds interest. The annual Queen's ball honored a Kentucky girl for the second year in a row last night. Miss Mcintosh, 16-year-old Mayfield, Ky high school sophomore, was crowned Fridav by last ear's Queen 'of the Tennessee Shannon Besjey, Henderson Ky. Named firit maid was Joan Crockarell, 20-year-old Austin Peay State college student.

Fran Avery, 16, of Alamo was named second maid in the competition between 26 Tennessee and Kentucky beautiei. An added attraction to this year's program was the dedication St at. the site of the Battle of Paris during the War Between the States. Edmond Arnett. Grove junior high schol student, unveiled the marker, which was dedicated by W.

T. Alderson executive secretary of the Tennessee Historical commission. Arnett's discovery of an old newspaper account of the battle led the commission to erect the marker. candidates for re-election. Aldermen Vernla Power, A.

A drews of Bulock county, leader of the Black Belt bloc, haei made that clear. The governor hat antagonized soma legislators with his property tax equalization program. He has undertaken to level off assessments at 30 per cent of the market value.

Patterson has appealed to the people to put pressure on the legis latuie to go along with him and has accused "selfish interests" of trying to wreck the school program.
