Redistrict Stay Is Granted NEW ORLEANS (AP) The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has told the cities of Lufkin and Nacogdoches they may go ahead with at-large city elections, but cautioned the elections may be declared void. The appeals court Tuesday issued the two East Texas cities stays of orders by U.S. District Court Judge William Wayne Justice of Tyler, who ruled the cities must elect their officials in single- member districts rather than by the old at-large method. His order was the result of suits filed by the cities' black residents, claiming the at-large method of elections "unconstitutionally diluted" the voting strength of minorities.

The court said that in accepting the stay, the two cities realized the election "may ultimately be set aside if the district court's judgment is affirmed." Both cities have filed appeals of Justice's ruling, but the appeals court has not yet set a date for a full hearing on it. The Ports Mows, March 26, 1975 A Honey Wins and Loses WESLACO, Tex. (AP) The high price of sugar has brought more prosperity to America's beekeepers. But the better price has resulted in some problems, says Roy S. Weaver of Navasota, former president of the American Beekeepers Federation.

Higher prices have made it profitable to adulterate honey, more hives are being stolen, there is more competition for territory on which bees can range, more people are getting into the business and there are higher imports. Adulteration became a problem with the development of isomorose, an inverted corn syrup, by the Japanese. When ordinary syrup is added to honey it can be detected. But isomorose tends to remain in suspension with honey so that the housewife cannot recognize it. The American Beekeepers Federation is working on a model law on labeling to protect both the consumer and the beekeeper, Weaver says.

The more adulterant that is used the less honey beekeepers can sell. "We have got to protect the name Weaver said. "The proposed laws would not prevent mixing but would prohibit confusing the consumer." Weaver said bee numbers have not increased rapidly but a trend of decline has been reversed with younger persons attracted to this lucrative field and more existing beekeepers trying to expand their business. Any expansion brings competition for territory, Weaver said. Certain areas will sustain only a certain number of bee colonies, and crowding could be as disastrous as running too many cattle in the same pasturen One 5ing4e difficulties is to decide who has priority in location because colonies frequently are moved around.

Texas beekeepers, for instance, usually begin an exodus to more northern states during the cotton season because of the devastating effect of cotton crop insecticides. Ground applications are not as much of a problem as wind drift during applications by. airplanes. The price of honey to beekeepers has doubled to $1 a pound in the last two years or so. One reason is that many persons substituted honey for sugar when sugar prices went out of sight, increasing demand and price.

Then, too, the supply was short because, beekeepers say, American bees were lazy in 1974 and production was off possibly 40 per cent from the 208 million pounds produced in 1973. Imported honey helped fill the gap. Beeswax has hit a period of extremely low demand, where it once was heavily used for candles, for coating ammunition and other purposes. Weaver believes one solution might be a marketing order which would control the distribution of honey by the producers. It could be possible under a marketing order to make imports meet the same requirements as honey produced domestically.

The trend toward planting hybrid soybeans and hybrid cotton will require many bees for pollination. "We will not be able to feed the increasing world population without honey bees," he said. Texas Expecting Effects of Storm Five Youths Rob Employe of News Paris police were investigating the Tuesday strong-arm robbery of a 16- year-old Paris News circulation employe Wednesday. Police said Steve Lee Cline, 274-28th NE, had been robbed by some five teen-age youths in the vicinity of 5th NE and Tudor Streets late afternoon Tuesday. According to reports, Cline met two teen-age youths near the Booker T.

Washington Homes, one wearing a denim jacket with the sleeves cut at the elbows, who asked him for a cigarette. Cline answered he had none, and the two walked with him to the intersection of 5th NE and Tudor Streets where they met "four or five others." Police said'Cline had been knocked out in the scuffle, but later refused to go to the hospital. A billfold, containing some petty cash and a cigarette lighter, were stolen. REPRESENTATIVES of Harrison and Walker Construction 222 Hickory, told officers that someone had stolen a $175 calculator from one of the firm's offices.

By The Associated Press Effects of a spring storm stretching from the northern Rockies into New Mexico threatened unpleasant changes in Texas weather today.

Forecasters looked for a cold front spreading farther south to reach into the Big Bend country of far West Texas by early Thursday. And while it still approached, a warning went up for motorists about high winds in Southwest Texas, where gusts up to 60 miles per hour were expected during the day. A special advisory from the National Weather Service said high-topped vehicles should be taken into mountain passes of the wind belt only for necessary trips. Blowing dust was promised on the South Plains. At the same time prospects were seen for increasing clouds and probable showers or thunderstorms the next couple of days in other parts of the state.

It was generally clear this morning except for overcast skies in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. With south and east winds due to shove damp air inland from the Gulf of Mexico, official observers called for light rain and scattered thunderstorms tonight and Thursday, particularly in Central and East Texas. Temperatures near dawn ranged from 38 degrees at Amarillo and Dalhart in the Panhandle up to 74 at McAllen in the extreme south, with most other readings in the 40s to 60s. Tuesday afternoon's top marks went as high as 87 at Alice, Cotulla and McAllen. B.
