Sometime ho a far a oung man goes is dependent on how much gas Dad left in the car.

ON FATHER'S DAY He wasn't short, he wasn't tall. He wasn't big. he wasn't small; His life was a patient plan- My Dad was just that kind of man. He had a coat that once was new; He wore it manv seasons through. In fire and flood, in rain and In famine, and good fortune's glow.

In sickness and in health his coat Was part of Dad, his badge of note; In time it was both frayed and worn, Yes, it was tattered, too, and torn. In flush of youth I wondered why He did not toss it out and buy A brand new coat of lale design. As elegant as garb of mine. He proudly hung it up one day, He knew his end was on the way, Then he laid down in faith and trust And holy slumber of the just. Rut yesterday I look it down, That ragged, little coat of brown I pulled it on, the seams burst free-Yet it was much too big for me.

UN MEET Continued From Page 1 is expected to be rouiine with Ambassador Abdul Rahman Pazhwak of Afghanistan in the president's chair. He was president of the last regular session. There will be the traditional moment of silent meditation, appointment of a credentials committee and adoption of the agenda. Some fireworks could Clare over the wording of the agenda. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A.

Gromyko asked that the assembly consider "the question of liquidating the consequences of Israel's aggression against the Arab stales and the immediate withdrawal of Israel's troops behind the armistice lines." Goldberg was expected to oppose any wording along that line as one-sided and prejudicial, and argue that the item be listed as "the Middle East question." or something similar. The Soviet wording reflected the Soviet demand that the General Assembly condemn Israel as an aggressor arid order a withdrawal of troops to positions held before the war started June 5. The U.N. Security Council refused to approve a Soviet tes-olulion containing those demands, and the Soviet Union asked that the emergency special session be convened to discuss the problem.

Cameron to Van Winkle, Morrclle Wells to Alta Woods, Charles Duke to Broadmeadow, Guy Sigrest to Grace and Hollis Landrum to Wells Memorial. Betty Blue was chosen as the 1957 Miss Jackson with Jackie San- ford and Laura Nan Alley as top alternates. The new queen was crowned by the retiring beauty, Regina Harlan, who has; just won new laurels for herself by being chosen Miss Hospitality for Jackson. TWENTY YEARS AGO funeral services were held for Miss Eugenia Dameron, one of the city's best known business women and civic leaders. She was the granddaughter of Supreme Court Justice J.

A. P. Campbell. Snead came from behind to tie Lew Worsha for the National Open golf crown at 282 at the Clayton course in St. Louis, and the pair readied themselves for a playoff.

THIRTY FIVE YEARS Ago Architects Hull Malvaney displayed for the first time "their sketch of the new Jackson post office, and the government announced bids will be accented in six weeks for construction of Ihe new building on the site of the old. Harry J. Dolton of the Miss. National Guard was named United States Property and Disbursing Officer, and will be promoted to the rank of major in his new position. LONG Continued From Page 1 "The committee is not through with the presentation of its material," Bennett said.

"I'm willing at any time that the Senate wants to vote on the charge that this man committed a federal crime and double billed the government," Long said. "In my judgment, there's just no case whatever on this double billing," said Long. He said some of the instances by the ethics committee were mistakes of which Dodd was unaware, and charged that two were the work of a former aide who wanted to discredit Dodd. At least two of the charges stemmed from official trips on which Dodd received speech-j making fees or other expense payments from private groups, while his airline travel was billed to the government, Long said. Out lo prove that point, Long turned toward Dodd, seated at a back-row desk.

"I'd just like to ask the senator a question," Long said. "If the senator would just take his feet." Dodd rose wearily. VIETNAM Continued From Page 1 cans. Mud of monsoon rains muffled the force of the explosions and held down casualties. U.S.

jet planes and artillery hammered at the suspected Viet Cong positions. Results of the cotinterfire were undetermined. In contacts elsewhere, South Vietnamese headquarters said government troops killed IB Viol Cong 20 miles south of Saigon. Briefing officers had reported 3(i(i of the enemy killed in a of stiff engagements Wednesday and Thursday. Twenty-two Americans and five Vietnamese soldiers were listed as dead in those lights, which ranged from the Mekong River delta to the hills south of Da Nang in the north.

Radio Hanoi said two of 'he three Viet Cong under sentence were identified Bui Van Chien, alias Nam lloa, and Lc Chau, alias Canh. Neither of these names matched Saigon records, POLITICAL PRINTING Everything From Bumper Strips To Candidate Cards 24 HOUR SERVICE UNION SHOP JACKSON PRINTING 1 W.

WOULD NOT ARGUE Cox told him he did not wish to argue the matter and pronounced sentence. After -wards, the judge explained the procedures for appeal of the decision to the appellant court, which would involve Willard's signing a pauper's oath in order to obtain defense aid.

Willard objected to the reference of a pauper's oath and thanked the judge for referring to him as a pauper. Judge Cox firmly but quietly told him. "Don't get impudent with me." Willard told the clerk he did want to sign the pauper's oath for the appeal. Then a deputy U. S.

Marshal put handcuffs on him and he was led out of the courtroom. Willard had been serving four life sentences in Kentucky when he was paroled about six weeks before the November bank robbery here. He had been convicted on four counts of armed robbery in the early 1950's. Now at Co mi try Chas. Rankin Paid Honors The Jackson Central Lions Club honored a man known as "Mr.

Mississippi Lion" when tributes were paid Friday to Charles Stephens Rankin. Past President Ray Tillman was in charges of the pro-grant which took a "This Is Your Life" theme and presented varied facets of the life and labors of the oft-honored member of the club. Mr. Tillman talked of Mr. Rankin, the man, and gave a biographical sketch, including mention of the Rankin family, Mrs.

Rankin, Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Rankin. of Charleston, and granddaughter Lenora Rankin, 8th grader at IWest Tallahatchie High, all present for the occasion, i "Christian Soldier" was the I topic of Purser Hewitt, who sketched the Rankin contributions to First Baptist Church as deacon, Sunday School superintendent and other activities.

"Patriotic American" was the theme of remarks by Judge L. Arnold Pyle, with special reference to past Post Commander Rankin of the Louis Jiggitts post of the American Legion. "Professional Man" was given by Walter Thrash, who recalled the services performed for the Jackson chapter of the National Association of Accountants. "Civic Leader" was the theme of Cecil Jaquith, who paid tribute to the former chairman and only charter member still active on the Jackson Appeals Review Board after 20 years of eervice. "Lion" was the topic for R.

L. Stainton, who traced the career of Mr. Rankin in the local, state and International Lions clubs, enumerating the many offices held by Mr. Rankin. The climax came when McKeighney, past president who performed in the absence of President C.

Ken Johnson Ralph Suuell, Jr. Sam Wright Willard, his weight down dras- tically from the 240 pounds he weighed at the time of the bank robbery, tried to present a picture of promises made by FBI agents in exchange for a confession. In prese li the government's answer, assistant U. S. Attorney Don Strange put Roy K.

Moore. Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Mississippi and Special Agent John Puddister on the stand. Moore declared emphatically that he made no promise to Willard but arranged for him to talk with Mrs. Strong, who identified herself in court as Mrs. Geraldine Franks, and her attorney while in the Greenville jail.

A the conference, Moore testified, Willard indicated that he wanted to make a statement and was subsquently inter-viewed by two agents. They later testified as to his admissions. PROPOSED EXCHANGE The government contended that Willard wanted the state charges dropped against him for assault and battery with intent to kill (Capt. Long) and kidnapping of the Greenville officer, and no prosecution of his girl friend in exchange for the identity of Tomlin and Bryan. In giving his ruling, Judge Cox said that any statements made by the defendent were voluntary and there was no evidence that Willard was intimidated, mistreated, or opressed.
