Paris Success By RUDY ABRAMSON Staff Correspondent PARIS. Paris rolled up the carpet and danced out the "world's biggest fish fry" last night after more than a ton of catfish and thousands of golden hushpuppies had been gobbled down.

More than 50,000 persons attended 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 number 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 rade, 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 fishing rodeo, which began Friday, called this year's festival the best in history. Karen Richardson, high school freshman from Springville, 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 is 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 one woman driver to put her the cause, 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 pholocked tograph Friday's for parade was on the roof 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 sizzled. Rodger Van Dyke, one of the cooks, ate a pint of ice cream during his rest period yesterday afternoon. loked at fish, smelled fish. and cooked fish until I'm tired of them," he said.

Gov.

John Patterson has ask. ed for $42 million a year in new taxes to finance the biggest school budget in history. But, mindful of the integration threat, he also wants the power to abolish the public school system if need be to keep Negroes out of white classrooms. The mere thought of integration has made some legislators reluctant to raise taxes. Still others.

Unless the administration backs off, opponents will try to write a law to take away the revenue department's authority to review property assessments. Patterson has appealed to the people to put pressure on the legislature to go along with him and has accused "selfish interests" of trying to wreck the school program.

Housing Administrator Norman B.

Mason said Trigg county qualified under the federal program because of its proximity to Barkley lake. Forced Moves Cited County Judge R. H. Upton, el leader in getting the program approved, said an estimated 300 Trigg farm families and 50 families in Cadiz, the county seat, will be displaced when the Barkley dam reservoir is flooded during 1960-61. Because of this forced moving families.

Trigg officials said they are interested in becoming eligible for all allocations of federally-assisted, low-rent publie housing units.

Codes and Regulations enactment workable, numerous building program requires codes and regulations. Upton said Trigg county now has electrical and gas codes.

It has adopted schedule which calls for enactment of building and plumbing codes by April 1960 and a housing code by the end of 1960.

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 papers graded by an electronics device.

As Andrews, the originator the plan, observed, "If the Negroes want to sue someone, let 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. ago, It would cost some new voters $36 in a lump for every year between the ages 21 and 45. The present law goes back only two years for a maximum back payment Other of issues $3. besides the goverstir fact, Black Belt nor's tax, program, are likely legislators armed with a powerful new filibuster weapon.

have spoken of the possibility of a general -down campaign. Because of that threat, and for tactical reasons, Patterson probably will ask the legislature to terrupt the regular session and convene in special session to consider school needs separately. Patterson has taken up the cry for legislative reapportionment and may face trouble there, too.
