Atty. Lee Munson of Uttle Rock said Thursday he had received a request that he bring ouster proceedings against three state highway commissioners and that he planned to fully research it.

Pulaski County Democratic chairman Roger C. Mears Jr. made the request in a letter to Munson. Mears says the three com- missoners are serving illegally. Those commissioners are George Kell of Swifton, James Branyar of Camden and David Solomon of Helena, all of whom were appointed since 1971.

Mears first asked Atty. Gen. Jim Guy Tucker to bring ouster proceedings against the three, but Tucker said he thought they were serving legally. The issue concerning the three commissioners centers on a section of Amendment 42 to the slate Constitution That says members of the Highway Commission must be appointed from the state at large, but that "no two commissioners shall be appointed from am single congressional di.strh-t." The amendment was ratified in 1S52 when the state had six congressionl districts. The slate now rms four congressional districts.

Two of the com- missoners live in the Second District and two live in the Fourth District ROGER L. BATES, county Extension agent agriculture for Hempstead County, had the best series of educational color slides entered in the public information awards program sponsored by Amchem Products, Inc. The slide series was also named the best of show of the six categories in the program. He was competing against the best feature story, best radio program, best piece of direct mail, best personal column, and best newsletter. The award was presented during the 39th annual meeting of the Arkansas Agricultural County Agents Association held at the Downtown Holiday Inn, Little Rock, June 13-14.

Presenting the award is Jerry M. Smith (right), county Extension agent, Star City, who was chairman of the awards program. Iii Bossier City Religious leaders vow to fight boose BOSSIER CITY, La. (AP) Religious leaders in this Southern Baptist stronghold vow al- lout opposition from the pulpit if city officials try to hold a vote on Sunday liquor sales at Louisiana Downs. Officials of the $20 million race track say they were given permission to sell liquor at Sunday races when they agreed not to fight incorporation into the city.

The track was built on land outside the city limits, but it was absorbed before it opened. During its first racing season, the city council was besieged by blue law advocates who persuaded them to revoke their permission. Mayor James Cathey said Thursday that his administration is considering putting the issue on the November ballot. "We haven't decided anything definite yet," he said. He added that a decision would have to be made on whether to lift the citywide ban on Sunday liquor sales.

Vincent Bartimo, the track's general manager, said he's not been contacted about reconsideration of the issue. He estimated the track lost $200,000 every Sunday because of the ban. "A further problem is that when you don't permit drinking it encourages people to bag their liquor which is difficult to AARP forms chapter here Douglas Woodruff, national president of the American Association of Retired Persons, has announced the formation of the Hope Chapter No. 2009 in Hope Ark. Mr.

Woodruff offered congratulations on behalf of the eight million member organization to the new chapter and its president, Mr. Alvis L. Park of 208 East 15th Street, Hope, Ark. Local AARP chapters sponsor community public service programs; work to influence the enactment of local, state and national legislation of benefit to older Americans; and acquaint members and other older citizens with the programs and services offered by the national organization. Founded in 1958, AARP is the nation's largest organization dedicated to helping older citizens achieve retirement lives of purpose, dignity and independence.

The Association encourages older Americans to remain active in community and public affairs, provides legislative representation at all levels of government, and sponsors services to help them stretc'h fixed retirement incomes. It also publishes magazines and other materials of special interest to older readers. supervise," he said. Dr. Damon Vaughn, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bossier City and one of the leaders in the losing eight-year fight to ban the track, said he would oppose any attempt to reopen the issue.

City Finance Commissioner Harold Bond said he favored letting voters decide whether the track will be wet or dry on Sundays. The track narrowly survived a referendum on whether it would be built at all. Then-Gov. John McKeithen vowed there'd never be a horse race track in North Louisiana as long as he occupied the mansion. Shortly after he left office, however, Bossier Parish narrowly approved construction 6,925 to 6,430.

Gov. Edwin office only a short time when the referendum was his support to the track and is credited with swinging the vote for the Downs. Democrat pressmen on strike LITTLE ROCK (AP) Pressmen at the Arkansas Democrat went on strike this morning, but publisher Walter E. Hussman Jr. said the newspaper would continue to publish.

More than 20 persons set up a picket line outside the Democrat in downtown Little Rock. All wore printed signs which said: "Pressmen on strike. Democrat not bargaining in good faith." The striking workers are members of local 59 which is affiliated with the International Printing, Communications and Graphics Union. Hussman said the union has about 10 employes who operate the printing presses at the Democrat. Strike captain Bill Bailey said the union's contract expired last Sept.

30. Hussman said that when Uttle Rock Newspapers, purchased control of the newspaper in March 1974, the union was informed that the new owners of the Democrat would not accept the old contract. Refugees Obituaries wait to go home FT. CHAFFEE, Ark. (AP) A lack of aircraft has delayed the repatriation of Vietnamese refugees for about a week, an Army spokesman said Thursday.

Refugees at Ft. Chaffee, Eglin Air Force Base in Florida and Indiantown Gap, will be flown at U.S. government expense to Camp Pendleton, according to Col. Joe Rogers. At Pendleton, the refugees will be processed by the United Nations to be returned to Vietnam.

The program was scheduled to begin this week, but was delayed because "of the availability of military aircraft," Rogers said. The Provisional Revolutionary Government (PGR) the new Saigon government must approve the repatriation, Rogers said. U.N. officials have arrived at each of the refugee camps to assist refugees wishing to return to their homelands, Rogers said. The refugees wishing to return to Vietnam are asked to fill out a questionaire, which is sent to the new South Vietnamese government.

If the PGR agrees, the refugees can return, Rogers said. He said more than 160 refugees have asked for repatriation. Rogers said camp officials are uncertain about the exact number of refugees wanting to return because only heads-of- families have filled out the U.N. questionaires. He said some families are very large, and some have only one member.

Rogers said he didn't know how many refugees at the other relocation camps have requested repatriation. Army officials have said that many refugees have become disenchanted with their lives in the United States. Most refugees have had to spend their entire time in America within the confines of relocation centers, and jobs and sponsors for refugees have been difficult to find. For example, 30,322 refugees have been processed at Ft. Chaffee the largest relocation center and only 8,141 have been released.

Several families have returned after their sponsors and jobs failed to work out. John Eisenhower, the chairman of the civilian committee overseeing the refugee program, has said some refugees may have to spend the rest of their lives in relocation camps. The military is trying to move the last of the refugees on Guam to relocation centers in the United States. Chaffee received 291 refugees Thursday, and was scheduled to receive 560 Friday. Rogers said the refugee population at Chaffee which was 22,181 Thursday probably will reach 25,000 by next week.

Rogers said he had no idea when Chaffee would be returned to normal use. Loyalty oath LITTLE ROCK (AP) A special legislative committee voted Thursday to ask Atty. Gen. Jim Guy Tucker if a loyalty oath like the one in Massachusetts would be constitutional in Arkansas. The committee was named to draft a bill to prohibit employment of Communists by state agencies and institutions.

According to a recent study done for the Legislative Council, a loyalty oath is one of two alternatives the state has open following an Arkansas Supreme Court ruling. The court struck down a state law as too broad that barred Communists, Nazis and facists from state employment.
