The only two state historical markers in Neshoba County are at the Holy Cross Catholic Church and the Neshoba County Fairgrounds.

State Rep. Aaron Henry of Clarksdale, head of the state NAACP, said state officials "don't want to give official sanction" to the site. Cleve McDowell, former field director for the state NAACP, said the state should recognize the incident. "We keep saying Mississippi is changing," he said, "but we don't do anything to show it." That attitude is causing the state "to lose the public relations war," he Brightwell has been gone from the school since September. Reasons for Alexander's possible dismissal have not been made public.

The deaf school was the target of probes in the fall by a number of state agencies because allegations of sexual misconduct among staff andor students at the school were linked with the diagnosis that a former house parent has AIDS. No AIDS virus infection was found among about 70 students voluntarily tested at the school. Youth Court officials were acting on a Nov. 18 state Welfare Department report on the school when they prohibited the school employees from contact with the deaf students. Others covered by the court order are house parents Ann Terry, Clifton Young and Jerry Prestage and teacher Don Spears.

Benton, who is superintendent of the Mississippi School for the Blind, will hire the principal under the supervision of the board's deaf school subcommittee, the group decided. "Somebody is needed now, and I will move as fast as I can," Benton said. He said he will try to hire someone not on the deaf school's staff within a month. "I will be very careful in trying to get somebody," he said. Hinds County Youth Court officials, in Dec.

14 hearings involving 20 students, found 12 cases of physical abuse, 12 cases of sexual abuse and seven cases of neglect. Brightwell and Alexander were among six employees the court prohibited from having contact with the deaf students. "In fact, I don't hear anything about it," Glasgow said. Lott said his recent appointment to the Senate Commerce, Science and Technology Committee, which has purview over NASA, would help the project move along. "Watch me.

I'm going to work with NASA," Lott said. He said funding increases in the final budget President Reagan submitted to Congress this week are a positive sign for the region. "Nothing's absolute when you're in the federal government, but I feel like NASA is a program that benefits all Americans," Lott said. "President Bush is very much committed to NASA, and so is Congress." Roger Blodgett, president of Hercules-Atlantic, told local officials he, too, is encouraged by the mood in Congress. "We desperately need an advanced solid rocket motor to meet the future," Blodgett said.

He said his company has received more than 5,000 applications from workers willing to relocate to the area. Choctaw said, referring to the release of the film Mississippi Burning, which focuses on the slayings. The film opens Friday in Jackson. By erecting a state marker, "it would speak louder and show we actually have changed," he said. "That would be a better indicator that Mississippi is changing than anything else." Mississippi didn't recognize the incident before 1980 because it hit close to home, Beard said.

"Since those murders occurred in 1964, the '70s were too close to think about markers." There is another option. Markers can be purchased by private groups for $925, although the text must be approved by the state Archives and History Commission. Henry, who gave Goodman a place to sleep the night before he and the others disappeared June 21, 1964, said he believes time may change attitudes and solve the problem. Beard called the incident the turning point in the civil rights movement. "It's one of the most historic sites in Mississippi," he said.

"It would be a sign to the nation that the state is maturing." He said a marker would show "we can recognize the truth and no longer cover it up. We are no longer a closed society." Newman Yellow Creek site, he met with Tishomingo County residents at a reception. NASA has chosen Yellow Creek as the construction site of the next generation of solid rocket motors for the space shuttle. NASA officials are deciding which of two teams of companies will complete the project: Hercules-Atlantic or Lockheed-Aerojet. Officials from both companies say they hope to begin moving in by this summer.

Area residents hope the plant will bring thousands of jobs to the region. But many were angered during the Senate campaign between Lott and Rep. Wayne Dowdy when published reports revealed Lott had described the site as inferior to the Stennis Space Center north of Bay St. Louis. On Election Day, Dowdy carried Tishomingo County.

In two letters to NASA officials in February, Lott said the site in Hancock County was "the best overall site in Mississippi" and said it would be difficult and expensive to locate the plant near Iuka. "Last year I represented the 5th Congressional District. I supported the people of that area and they supported me big time," Lott said Wednesday. "But I am now a senator of all the state of Mississippi, and I want the people all over this state to know I'm going to be working with them." Asked if this trip was a reconciliation effort, Lott said, "We are reconciled. I like the people up here very much.

As they see me more, they're going to feel more comfortable with me." Iuka physician Kelly Segars, who accompanied Lott on the tour, said northeast Mississippians were eagerly awaiting Lott's support. "There was some local negative fear he might not support the area," Segar acknowledged of the campaign flak. But, he added, Lott now has "a tremendous amount of support." James Glasgow, an Iuka retiree, said antagonism toward Lott was considerably less than during the election. Reagan the children. Her husband died recently.

Under the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, tribal courts have the power to decide adoption cases when the child lives or is "domiciled" on the reservation. The act was passed to stem a high rate of court-approved adoptions of Indian children by non-Indian parents. Previously, courts "often applied their own cultural standards of what was best for the child, placing greater weight on such material factors as the income of the adoptive parents, and less weight on the effect on the child of losing his or her Indian heritage," according to a written summary of the Mississippi case by Catholic University law student Catherine J. Drissel and law professor Nell Jessup Newton. Mississippi courts, including the state Supreme Court, approved the adoption on grounds that the children's presence in the state and the biological parents' intention for them to be residents of the state rather than the reservation gave the state authority in the case.

"As a tribe, we have a right to govern ourselves," Phillip Martin, tribal chief of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, said following Wednesday's hearing. "We want non-Indians to respect our courts and tribal culture and come to us." CORRECTION The government argues its tests show the motor is unique but does not perform as Newman claims. Government patent researchers ruled the motor operates within known laws of physics using more energy than it produces. Newman said Wednesday he planned to pack his equipment and move it to Mexico. "This isn't a victory for me," he said, "it's a victory for the human race." Newman has said his device will change the world, ending pollution caused by fossil fuel energy sources and providing a limitless source of power for humanity.

Newman also has patents on the energy machine in Spain, South Africa, Argentina, India and Venu-zuela. But he said the relatively "nearby" location of Mexico will allow him to produce the devices while keeping his home in Luce-dale. He said the plant to produce the devices will "probably be at least a million square feet" in size and employ thousands. He said he expects private companies to eagerly grab at the opportunity to produce the devices. "They won't talk to you until you have a patent.

What motivates them is greed." Newman, who says God has told him he will be president of the United States, issues frequent press releases in which he links natural disasters, major accidents, pollution and other tragedies to warnings from God of a pending destruction of mankind. He condemns President Ronald Wilson Reagan as "the first beast," saying Reagan is the Beast of Revelations for a variety of reasons, including that Reagan's first, middle and last names all have six letters 666. He has repeatedly said the number 14 is "God's handprint," and notes that many events have some link to the number such as occurring on the 14th of the month or at a time of day when all the numbers in the time add up to 14. He said Wednesday that production of his machine "will expose the corruption of the Reagan administration and the Bush administration. People are going to wake up." his tenure, Reagan said little.

Nothing of the barracks bombing that took several hundred Marine lives in Beirut, nothing of the Americans taken hostage and still held captive, nothing of the trade deficits or the scandals that tarnished his administration. Citing "a great tradition of warnings in presidential farewells," Reagan offered "one that's been on my mind for some time." "We've got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise and freedom is special and rare. It's fragile; it needs protection." Reagan summarized what he said his presidency had proven: "Once you begin a great movement, there's no telling where it will end. We meant to change a nation, and instead, we changed a world." The Clarion-LedgerJackson Daily News on Sunday incorrectly reported the owner of Le Nae's Beauty Center in Philadelphia.
