Future of Downtown Paris Is Discussed The future of Downtown Paris received a thorough pwrmna- tion here Tuesday in a meeting of downtown leaders. The session aroused new ideas as to what can be done to brighten the future of the downtown area and as a result a committee was appointed to look into specific plans. Henry Ayres, president of the Downtown Development Association, named W. M. House, Paris jeweler, to head the Downtown Improvement Committee.

The committee will meet first February 24 to take up ideas and suggestions offered at yesterday's discussion. The Tuesday meeting was called by the Downtown Development Association at the request of Paris Board of Bealt rs. Nathan Ben, realtor board president, explained the purpose was to express local realtors' concern that the downtown ar a would decline and even more buildings would become empty as shopper trade decreases. Ayres explained the Downtown Development Association had formerly been organized to secure a parking lot on the Hinkle Lumber Co. block, but that when the First National Bank purchased the space for parking, this corporation was unnecessary.

Thus, he said, the organization transferred funds, changed names and took on a more general purpose to attract more downtown shoppers. He g- gested, and agreement was generally voiced, that this should become a vital organization of downtown people with specifiejbe coBsrrccted ia the Plaza dowatown, aad tie foostam be removed to ByKraters Park. Figures were cooted to the effect that 930 cars coaM be parked on the acre space. An objection to this proposal caiae from Mrs. CecOe Roden, who has been on the pfrpmng of the Chamber of programs of action to resolve difficult problems.

Appointed to serve with Eocse on the improvement committee were Durward Barfleti of Sress Store; Glenn Edwards, Famous Shoe Store; Nathan BeQ, realtor; Bob Kennedy of National Hardware; Glyna Lowe, First National Bank pressd Gradv Morphis of Belk's Store; F. "Doc" Beep of p's Furniture Store, and John Williams of Williams Sporting Goods. They will have several suggestions to consider that were offered by some of tbe 35 people with downtown interests attending the Tuesday meeting. Among the problems outlined and specific proposals: (1) City and school taxes for the downtown area are proportionately much higher than taxes for shopping centers. Commerce and is espedaSy interested in application of methods to revitalize downtown in connection with the Paris Master Plan.

She said, "1 disagree. The garden dnbs would rise ID arms. I thinjr Bywaters Park is lovely and the Plaza is lovely. I can't see changing them both and petting a parking building in the Plaza."

(2) The public is less inclined to come downtown today because of traffic congestion and difficulty of parking space near one's destination. It was noted that there was plentiful parking space in the First National lot that was rarely occupied to near capacity. Someone suggested that people dont like to walk one or two blocks but prefer to be able to drive right up to the store. One suggestion which represented the thinking of several downtown merchants was that tion, to provide beauty areas and rest areas n- Mrs. W.

He said the city of Paris was proceeding toward the Master Plan with part of this year's budget going to right-of-way purchases to build this street pattern.

Suggestions by other participants at the meeting were to make one-way sreets downtown and allow no" left tarns off the a multi-story parking buflding! square. IN SENATE New V-Nam Talks Begin Mrs. Sam Reddell was eo- hostess with Mrs. G. J.

Haggerty of the AFL-CIO Construction and Building Trades Department broached the charge in saying "it is a possibility" that the first civil rights suit against a labor organization was part of the Johnson administration's campaign to bring pressure against what it considers Inflationary wage increases. Construction union spokesmen concede there has been trouble in the past in persuading some local unions to accept Negroes, but said that a Justice Department eivtt: rights suit in St Louis was not justified. A high- government source said that the suit against the St Louis AFL-CIO Building Trades CouncQ came "like a bolt out of the blue" while attempts were being made to settle the case amicably. However, there was no immediate official reaction from the Labor or Justice departments on Haggerty's statement that he St Louis suit might be connected with a Labor Department effort to impose a national wage settlement plan on the construction unions. He made the statement at a news conference after hearing a detailed report from St Louis AFL-CIO officials, who were charged with racial discrimination under the 19M Civil Rights Act for -walking off the job of constructing the St.

Louis arch when three Negro were hired. plumb rs The AFL-CIO officials the dispute is purely a jurisdictional matter because the Negroes belonged to another union. The Justice Department suit came at a. time when Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz was proposing the national wage settlement plan, which Haggerty and the 18 construction union presidents are expected to formally reject Thursday.

The Johnson administration, in its effort to hold down what it considers the threat of an inflationary wage-price spiral, has singled out the construction industry and unions as one of several "problem areas." 'Haggerty said that about 25 per cent of workers on the march were Negroes, mostly members of AFL-CIO unions and that there was no hint of 'racial problems until the Justice Department filed the suit McCUISTION HOSPITAL Admitted: Mrs. Dan Simpson, 391-30th NE; Jack Norwood.

Powers Placed Near to Murder ML4MI, Fla. (AP) Melvin Lane Powers was placed by a state witness today near the home of his uncle, Jacques Messier, about an hour before the multimillionaire was slain. Badar Sheehan, a bartender, testified Powers was in the Stuft Shirt cocktail lounge about 7 o'clock the night of the slaying, and asked him for an empty soda bottle. The lounge is not far from the scene year-old Mossler's cf the 63- bludgeon- stabbing in his apartment June 30, 1954. Sheehan said he again saw that night between 12:30 and 1 a.m.—about an hour before the slaying.

"He came tn and ordered a double scotch and I served him," the witness said. "He drank it and left." The testimony was part of the state's effort to prove the element of painstaking retracing of Ihe defendant's footsteps in an attempt to show he was in the vicinity of the crime and therefore could have committed it. Powers is on trial for his life with his blonde anut, Candace Mossier.
