With the aid of helicopters many of the rebels and deserters were tracked down and 61 were killed. In Tunis, a mob of Frenchmen turned from a funeral and sack ed the U. S. Consulate and Information Office Friday.

An American Embassy ource in Paris said the anti-American outburst was caused by "an unfounded rumor that the United States is encouraging North African ter rorists." A member of the consulate staff and his wife and child were in the office when the mob surged in. They were not molested. Two French language newspap ers also were attacked.

Following a conference with Mayor Allen C. Thompson and Commissioner D. L. Luckey, Friday, school board members declined to comment on the exact figure.

Thompson and Luckey also were silent on the matter. Another meeting is scheduled for Tuesday at 10 a. but the possibility arose that a decision may not be reached at that time. Questioned by newsmen following the conference. Mayor Thompson stated that the new school construction will raise the school tax levy.

But he repeated earlier statements that a proposed $4 million water plant expansion can be financed by water revenues and that a planned $2.5 street program can be paid for with present tax revenues, anticipating further growth of these revenues as the city gets larger. The mayor has stated repeatedly that the street program would bring only a very small increase in taxes, if any at-all. Mayor Thompson said the city will approve whatever the school board feels is necessary for school expansion to meet a growing population. The mayor has contended that each part of the proposed four-part bond referendum schools, water, streets, and fire stations is as important as the other. The mayor and commissioners are unanimous on the bond program with the exception of streets.

Commissioner Chalmers Alexander will not vote for the street bond referendum because he feels it might overload the city's financial structure. mmibwouer x.uy i street program, giving it a 2-to-l majority in the City Council.

Speaking on a point of personal privilege, Mrs. Gore declared that the people of her county and many others have not been given sufficient opportunity to make educational surveys for school consolidations and that untold harm may come of rushing them She had just lost a determined effort to get a bill considered by the house in committee-of-the-whole, which would have delayed the effective date for the consolidations until Jan. 1, 1958.

A similar bill had been killed in the education committee, headed by Rep. Jim Baxter, Lauderdale.

S. Arm ed Forces as a result of the top secret discussions being conducted by the joint chiefs of staff in Puerto Rico. Returning from a trip to Puerto Rico during which he sat in for day of the week-long military session, Wilson described the meeting as a "realistic reap praisal involving all of our long-range problems." Asked whether the changes would involve a large-scale adapa-tion of the Army, Navy and Air Force to the use of guided missiles, Wilson refused to comment except to say the results of the new planning will "show up from time to time." The Defense Department an nounced simultaneously that Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the joint chiefs who is presiding over the discussions, will visit the Army's Redstone I arsenal at Huntsville, Ala.

Reaction was swift: 1. The Greek government early today announced in Athens it was recalling its ambassador to Lon don and complaining to the United Nations. 2. Task forces from the 50,000 British troops on the island spread out over Nicosia and urban centers in strength, and violence flared as expected. A British patrol was nred upon rear Paphos and a bomb was hurled at another patrol in Fama-gusta.

At the time of Grooms' order Autherine was under suspension for "her own safety and the safety of others" after three days of lioting on the campus over her enrollment Feb. 1.

The trustees accused her ot making "false, defamatory, impertinent and scandalous charges" and said "no educational institution could maintain neces-f ary disciplinary action if any student, regardless of race, guilty of the conduct of Autherine J. Lucy be permitted to remain." In the motion today Autherine's attorney, Arthur D.

Shores, asked Grooms to amend his Feb. 29 re turn order by overruling the ex pulsion and changing the date of her return to next September. The motion set tortn tnat the interim between the issuance of the final order of Feb. 29 and the expulsion order by the board of trustees nothing new transpired or became known in this cause which would excuse failure to comply with the court order and the expulsion order should be deemed a legally ineffective inter ference with the performance of a duty.

Girl Tells Murdered SEOUL, March 10 (Saturday) (INS) A Turkish girl who said she was a prisoner of the Communists in North Korea for 43 months told Friday of a death march during which the Reds shot and killed an American Army officer before the horrified eyes of fellow-captives. This was only one of numerous Red atrocities she witnessed, according to 20-year-old Sida Sal-ahuttin who related her harrow ing experiences to the U. S. Army newspaper Pacific Stars and Stripes. The attractive, dark-eyed girl, born in South Korea of Turkish parents, told of how she and her family, together with many other civilian and military prisoners of the Communists, were forced to march more than 100 miles north through a "Korean Siberia." Describing one shacking atrocity on the second day of the march, Sida related: "The Red commandant halted us.

Lynch's .22 was taken from behind the counter by a patron in the cafe and Lynch said that Cassell got the rifle and began advancing toward him. Lynch said that he had already fired two or three times into the ceiling 'to stop" the fighting, and cafe manager said he shot at Cassell twice with a .22 pistol. Lynch told the detectives that White was coming toward him with an icepick in his hand when he shot at him twice also.

A Baldwin ambulance picked up the victims and took them to University Hospital at 11 p. m. The bullet entered White's left ear and apparently lodged in his brain. Attendants said that Cas-sel's spinal cord was apparency severed by the bullet. Lynch was charged with shooting with intent to kill.

Solons Abolish Wheat Supports Corn Growers Win Acreage WASHINGTON, March 9 (J) President Eisenhower scored another big farm bill victory tonight with a close 46-45 Senate vote to knock out 90 per cent price supports on wheat. Administration forces needed the vote of Vice President Nixon to break a tie. The vote first was announced as 46-45 in favor of an amendment to knock the high wheat prjee supports out of the general farm bill. But it was discovered shortly afterwards that a clerical error had been made on this tally. Then, in an unusual move, the Senate ordered a recapitulation of its vote.

The new tally showed the true result was 45-45. This tie gave Nixon the right to cast his vote the only Senate situ ation in which he can do so and ha cast it for the amendment and thus put it over by one vote. Actually the Senate had passed on to another vote when the error in the wheat amendment roll call was discovered. This new vote was on a maneu ver by administration forces to ciincn tneir earlier victory. This is done by moving to reconsider the earner vote, and then to lay ministration forces carried this 46-41.

Before taking up wheat, the Sen ate approved an amendment which would permit corn growers to plant 51 million acres this year and still qualify for the adminis tration soil bank program.

The officers said the woman said she was very nervous and couldn't stand to be goosed, so she- whacked him in the face with a drinking glass.

"For this crime, the American was bound and before the eyes of his friends and ours he was shot to death." The tortuous march was described by the Turkish girl as a "death- per-mile" procession.

Her captivity, Sida said, began shortly after the invading North Korean Communists captured the ROK capital of Seoul in the early days of the Korean war. She was then only 15 and was living with her parents in Seoul where her father, a Turkish businessman, had been employed by the U. S. Embassy. Sida said she and her family were seized by the Reds on July 29, 1950, and were transported north, making their first stop near the Communist capital of Pyong yang.

T. (Bubba) Ashford Jr.

said Friday. In the first place, Ashford said, poll taxes would have to be paid for them for two successive years, which would be very unlikely. Secondly, a person assuming the identity of someone who is deceased would run the risk of being detected bv one or more of six officials at polling places. Ashford did not criticize a grand jury report Thursday which stat ed that approximately 10,000 to 12.000 persons who have died or moved are still on the registration lists. He stated, however, that it is next to impossible to keep the lists current at all times.

When a person dies the clerk's office may not be notified so tne name can be purged from the re-sistration lists. Also, many peo ple move from their districts without advising their change in registration, Ashford said. He pointed out that it would De practically impossible to hold another comnlete registration at this time because of the city election coming up next year. Re-registration would be a very extensive and lengthy process and would take several months to complete, he said. Ashford said his otiice is cur rently at work transcribing the registration lists and is making every effort possible to purge the lists of persons who are dead or no longer live in the same district.

It swept through the House of Representatives 93-0 and the Senate swiftly gave its approval 30-0 a short time afterward. 1 The resolution noted that the cotton program as now being administered "is creating undue and extreme hardship upon individual cotton farmers in- this state." Citv Council approved a group of recommendations for improved bus service Friday and directed A. L.

Smith, city transportation co-ordinator. to forward the pro posals to Jackson City Lines Inc. Smith said, during the reading of the recommendations, that few improvements have been made here because "they have to get orders from Chicago for anything they do." He said that, in some cases, old destination signs are used when the bus does nt go to that destination. "In other words, you have to be a crystal gazer when you get on a bus," Mayor Allen C. Thompson stated.

After reading the proposed changes, Smith stated that "I think these recommendations should be put in effect at his time. I will have more recommenda tions later." Smith said he did not believe the proposals would add more mileage to the bus company present routes. Mayor Thompson and Commissioner D. L. Luckey agreed to spread the recommendations on the city's minute books.

Com missioner Chalmers Alexander was not present for the meeting. The recommendations are as follows: Place schedules of all routes on each bus in operation (and). in conspicuous places at all time points along the routes.
