Concluded from Page One prohibits pledging the faith and! credit of the state for the purpose of aiding any private person or corporation." He said that the legislature specifically prohibited M. S. U.

from undertaking any self-liquiprojects without express legislative consent. He claimed that the Jackson firm, as taxpayers of the state, would suffer irreparable harm from such an "unlawful expendliture of public funds." Leland W. Carr, M. S. U.

attorney, pointed out that no money is borrowed to finance the project, that no bonds have been issued and there is no stipulation for repayment of any special funds used. He said finances for the transmitter are provided from Jenison fund at M. S. a priendowment and under the exclusive control of the M.S.U. governing board.

Carr urged quick action on the temporary injunction in view of the Nov. 3 deadline date for start of construction. Before adjourning the hearing Monday, Judge Simpson promised to "act as quickly as possible" on the temporary injunction and then to hear further arguments on the merits of dismissing the bill of complaint, after the attorneys file briefs in five days. The federal communications stipulates must commission construction, permit start construction within 60 days and have the station on the air within six months. The university probably would be called upon by the FCC to explain why construction was not started, said.

ahead of the deadline, a that Rogers the U. S. code contended, however, provides that if delay is beyond the control of the awardee, the commission will waive the 60-day deadline. Legal authorities commenting on the court action felt that Judge Simpson was som a peculiar position Monday a the question of the injunction. If he lifted the injunction and M.

S. U. carried on with its construction, he might find several weeks from now that the project was illegal and considerable sums of money might have been wasted in the station construction. On the other hand, he was faced with arbitrarily forcing M. S.

Final soundings of grass root opinion appeared to point to Democratic gains of from 8 to 12 senate seats, including that wrested from O. P.

This did not take into account Alaska's two seats, to be filled by Nov. 25. Democrats now outnumber senate Republicans 49.47. With Muskie's vote they need only to hold their own in today's contests to have the required 50 majority after Alaska adds its two. Test readings from around the country showed the Democrats might pick up from 17 to 40 house seats and possibly more.

But if the Democratic rocket went only that high, it would fall far short of the 97 seats the party took from the Republicans in 1932. Democrats now outnumber house Republicans 235-200.
