This service would provide helpful hints, veterans' news and a program in which books would be read over the air for the blind, Brent said. If all goes well, the public station also hopes to conduct a training program for broadcast journalists through area colleges such as Millsaps and Tougaloo. The 29-member board, made up of representatives of the arts, business, industry, labor and education, is calling itself the J.C. Maxwell Broadcasting after the Scottish physicist of the mid-1800s who is credited with discovering radio waves. Brent said the group has asked the FCC for the call letters WJCM in Maxwell's honor.

The new station would broadcast a clear signal within a 37-mile radius of Jackson and would be picked up as far away as 90 miles, covering 17 counties, Brent said. The company received a 15-year 16th Section land lease, from the Rankin County School Board this week to construct a 500-foot tower at Monterey near Florence. Much of the funding for the station would come from Communications Improvement which until recently Thomas B. Alexander UENDENHALL Thomas Brent "Tom Alexander. H.

Friday By DOUGLAS DEMMONS Clarion Ledger Staff Writer Radio entertainment in Jackson may be about to come of age. By year's end, radio listeners weary of the mindless drone of Top 40 Golden Smash Hits played between commercials and disc jockey jive might be able to tune in to public broadcasting here. It's called National Public Radio -radio's answer to educational TV and a station to broadcast it could be licensed this year, said W. Clarence Brent, vice president of the 29-member community board that would oversee the project. Brent's license application is pending before the Federal Communications Commission, which is awaiting further study before deciding whether to approve it.

The class FM station would be located on the Millsaps College campus in a renovated faculty house. The non-profit enterprise would be financed by more than $1 million in foundation grants, Brent said. He said the station would broadcast classical music, vintage jazz, opera, blues, historical gospel, folk music, a daily 90-minute syndicated news magazine and selections on Mississippi history and folklore. The station also would be "very heavily into news in depth," Brent said. With its own news staff, the station would concentrate on issue coverage and public advocacy, Brent said.

He said television and radio stations in Jackson are giving only "token" attention to anything other than day-to-day news coverage. The station, which has applied to the FCC for 88.7 on the FM dial, also would develop a children's format that would include such programs as an introduction to the classics. Other programs which could be made available over the new public station include Blues in the Mississippi Night, a program produced partly by the Smithsonian Institute; Radio Theater, a replay of old radio dramas from the 1930s, 40s and 50s; and Voices of the Civil Rights Movement, a contempo Realtors like board's stance Realtors, from page IB March execution set for murderer Kosic Bolaml CALHOUN CITY Rosie Cozart Boland. 77. widow of Frank Boland.

Aubrey 'Buck' Nail and Coy E. Nail, both of Stewart. Jones and Willie N. Reddix were convicted of capital murder for killing Arthur Weinberger during a 1974 pre-Christmas robbery of his store. Jones and Reddix were sentenced to death in 1975 for the same crime, but were retried after the state Supreme Court overturned the death penalty law then in effect in Mississippi.

Reddix confessed to the murder, saying that as he distracted Weinberger, a retired railroad guard who owned the store, Jones hit him over the head from behind. Clothes found at Reddix's home were identified as Weinberger's at the lower court trial. The Mississippi Supreme Court upheld Jones' conviction and death sentence Jan. 30, 1980.

Brent estimated 'Jiat as much as $750,000 of the expecteo million in grant commitments come from that source. Additional financ'jjg is being sought through the NationatTelecommunica-tions Information Administration, a federal agency.

Locally, Brent said the group will raise money through the sale of radio guide subscriptions and perhaps telethons. Brent and the Maxwell group have been working on this project for three years and are promising big things for radio listeners. 1 "It's totally different from anything that's ever been 'on," Brent said. "We're one of the very last states to have public broadcasting (in radio)." The Maxwell group may soon have a lot of company in the public broadcasting field, however. The Mississippi Authority for Educational Television has filed applications for eight frequencies statewide, according to Lee Morris, program director at ETV.

Morris doesn't expect the statewide network, which would operate out of the eight existing ETV studios, to air until July 1982. National Public Radio already has reached Mississippi on a limited basis through a public station in Senatobia. push for a council vote on the ordinance. Smith said the realtors' board, the only group that has opposed the proposed ordinance, is "deeply interested in preserving the beauty and desirability of our neighborhoods." But, he added, the real estate agents believe the best tools for preserving historic architecture are current zoning laws, applicable housing codes, restrictive covenants and active neighborhood organizations.

The execution date was stayed by the state Supreme Court one week before it was to take place when Jones' attorneys asked the state's highest court to reconsider its decision upholding the conviction and sentence. On April 2, 1980, after refusing to rehear the case, the State Supreme Court reset the execution date for May 21, 1980. The May execution date was stayed April 16, 1980, when Jones appealed his conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court. The nation's highest court then refused to consider the case and the state Supreme Court Wednesday set the March 1981 execution date.
