But only comparatively The war ot words over the proposal to authorize issuance of I140.9W wo road and bridge bonds Is quickening.

Among the 23 other proposed constitutional amendments to be voted on ar a few that probably will come In for attack and defense before the ballots art cast For Instance, Proposition No. 17 affects all municipalities in the state outside ot New Orleans and their taxpayers. The pro party taxes which cities, towns and villages now may levy are limited by law to seven miUs in municipalities which do aot maintain their own public schools, ten mills In those which do. The proposed amendment would raise these limits to 12 and 13 mills respectively. City officials, individually and inrougn organizations, have been complaining repeatedly In past years tnat tney were in an Impossible financial squeeze pod- lations swollen by a trend off the xarrns were demanding more services and city taxes were virtually frozen by law hlle the state went Into more and more revenue fields.

The question to be determined at the election is whether the officials have made their case strong enough to overcome voters' distaste tor additions to an already heavy tax load. Not directly of statewide application, but a hot issue in western Louisiana and the source ot much oratory in the legisla'urb, 1 the proposal tor a Sabine river authority. The features of the proposed amendment which aroused most controversy In the legislature were those authorizing the authority, a public body, to develop hydroelectric oowcr projects in the basin ot the Lou Alexandrian on New Casualty List WASHINGTON, Sept. 15-') Pfc.

Sept. 18 (UP) The Korean war, increased demand, a short reserve tup-ply, heavy destruction of this year's crop and the highest prices in "0 years spurred cotton industry leaders to action today. To meet the situation, cotton men want a greatly-increased production of their staple in 1051 and at least soma limitation of cotton exports until next year's crop becomes available. This course of action was shaped at a weekend conference between the industrywide cotton mobilization commutes and the national cotton council's board of directors. It will be implemented in discussions between com mlttee and government representatives in Washington.

The suggestions already are known to oe under consideration for swift action by official Wash ington, with Agriculture Secre tary Charles arannan probably ready to lift marketing Quotas on 1991 cotton this week. Man, weather and war have combined to put the nation's cot ton needs in a aeucate position at this point. Cotton acreage controls lmpoi' ed last year whan a surplus was feared have helped cut the 1950 crop to an officially-estimated 9.882.000 bales, compared to 16 128,000 last year and the 10-year average of 11,599,000 bales. The carryover from last year gives the nation about 18,600 000 bales for use during the 1950-51 marketing season. And, with war demands, this is a dangerously low figure.

Thus, with the smallest cotton crop in 60 years and a mall reserve left over for next year cotton men say the situation will be critical unless remedial sieps I Masons Pledge $50,000 For Homo Building Members of Masonic Lodges from all parts of Louisiana converged on Alexandria yesterday for the homecoming celebration that marked the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Masonic Home for children here Highlight of the day's activities was the announcement 17 Dr. Dee A.

16 gifted local artist, was presented Thursday In the first art show ever held in the historio town or Cheneyville. The local Garden Club sponsored the exhibit wmcn was attended by large numDers of enthusiastic townsfolk and visitors from throughout central Louisiana. Most impressive to the visi tors was the use of modern tech nique applied to such local scenes as plantation cabins, Cyprus trees hung with moss, and magnolia blossoms. Employing various textures and using pure color right out of the tube, Ewell manages ably to weld the modernistic technique with tradition al subjects. Outstanding among his pic tures was "Red Shoes" which won first place in the Bunkle Art Show recently, and "Sunset on Cyprus Trees' Ewell's distinc tive interpretation ot vibrant sunset colors against Cyprus trees and moss.

Ewells mag nolias, usually in brown tones against rich colored back grounds, received considerable attention. Ewell graduated from Cheney ville Grammar School, then moved to Glenmora where he attended high school. He studied at Louisiana Tech and then went to Carmel, whert he worked as a waiter in order to have time to paint. He lived in the famous Art Colony at Monterey and exhibited his pictures there. Later, he went to Chicago where he studied at the Art Institute, Ray School of Art, and DePaul University.

He exhibited at the Little Gallery in the Esquire Theatre in Chicago and sold numbers of his pictures there. His pictures will now be on display at his studio at the Tanner Plantation on the Old Bayou Road between Cheneyville and Bunkle. Twelve members of the Cheneyville Garden Club were hostesses for the exhibit which was held in the educational building of the Baptist church. Unusual flower arrangements set off the art exhibit. These were prepared by Mrs.

Joe Pearce and Mrs. Roland Stafford. The tea tables covered with lace cloths were very attractively centered with bowls of pink hibiscus flanked with silver candelabra holding pink tapers. Mrs. W.

H. Ledbetter and Mrs. M. R. Earnest presided at the silver service.

Alternating at the punch bowls were Mrs. McNutt and Mrs. Walker McNutt. Mrs. L.

L. Lovell is president of the Garden Club. Housing Shortage Reported At Olla OLLA, La, Sept. 16 (Special) A temporary and acute housing shortage has developed in Olla, with some 80 or 90 families critically in need of hous ing accomodations for the next six weeks to two months, it was reported this week by Mayor J.

isiana-Texas boundary river and to issue $25,000,000 bonds against the expected revenues. The objections of public competition with private business and a trend towards a socialized power enterprise were raised during legislative debate. Besides the big bond Issue a al, another proffered amendment, numbered eight on the ballot, would provide for the long-talked about causeway over Lake Pontchartraln, bringing the St. Tammany surburban and "playground" area closer to New Orleans. The amendment would authorize issuance ot $30,000,000 bonds to be backed by causeway tolls and a special highway fund made up from license taxes in surrounding parishes.

Another $15,000,000 bonds for the Pontchartraln lakeshore highway would be authorized also. On the $14,000,000 bond authorization, the arguments pro-and con have already been aired at length. The big argument for it is that "nickel and dlming" Gov. Earl K. Long's phrase won't get the major bridges and road improvement! built.

Among the arguments against the issue are the prospects that something like a wartime econ omy may make hig civilian construction impossible and the lack of specific earmarking ot much of the bond money designated simply for primary roads. Some groups, such as residents ot the area along U. S. Highway 90, tried in vain to have their favorite main highways specifically Included. The fund division set up In the proposed amendment is for main trunk highways, $2,000,000 for secondary roads, $45,000,000 for New Orleans projectsan intown bridge over the Mississippi river and a traffic tunnel under the Industrial canal.

Gov. Long repeated to the legislature this week his earlier assertion that the roads to be improved would be selected on the basis of need. JENA SCORES III 4TII QUARTER, TIES MANSFIELD Giants Hold Favored Squad 19-19 lrv Grid Deadlock JENA. Sept. 16 (Special Jena and Mansfield battled to a 19 19 tie here last night on Giant field, with the Black and Gold fighting back from a 6-19 haixtlme deficit to tie the score and keep some 2000 fans on the edge of their seats, Mansfield's Green and White Wolverines were no less determined but were soundly out -played In the last semester of the game as Jena held them to 41 net yards gained and enly two first downs for the entire night, one In each half.

Halfback Jack Stout, cut loose in the opening minutes of tha se. cond quarter for a 6 yarl gallop for Mansfield's third and final score of the night in one of the most spectacular runs ot the night. Mansfield scored first early when Jena fumbled on the lnvad. er's 45 yard line Dick Hawthorne Mansfield tackle, picked up the ball on the run and raced 55 yards to score. Doyle Leach passed to Stout for the extra onint.

Mansfield returned to the Giants' 31, then on five plays advanced to the Jena five from which point Jimmy Stoker hit Stout in the end zone for Mansfield's second TD. Stoker pass. was no good. Jena Scores Opening the second quarter, Jena took the kickoff on their own 20, returned it to their 40 Donnie Sheppard rocketing through for the marker. His i-ass to Bo Wilsn failed.

Fred Benson bulled through center for 16 and a first on the Wolves' four from which nulnt J. Coleman slashed over guard for Jena's second tally. Qurter-back Don Taylor's attemuted sneak failed for the point, leaving Jena on the short end of a 19-12 count. Sheppard tossed to J.

Approve Fund to Fight Bollworm in Cotton BATON ROUGE, Sept. 14 WPi Tha board of liquidation of state debt yesterday approved a $12,000 deficiency apropriation for the agriculture department to fight the pink bollworm in Louisiana. The board acted after Agriculture commissioner W. E. Anderson advised that there Is a "serious situation ahead ot us." He said the pest comes from the Rio Grande valley by (lying or being windborne.

In another action the ooard refused to designate a March 15 storm in th Hammond Pon-chatoula strawberry area a disaster. Anderson reported that an inspection ot 'he area 10 days after the hail and wind storm indicsv-ed original damage estimated was too high. The crop, he said, made a recoveijy. In addition worst rainy harvesting season in a coup'e of generations has further hurt mis year's crop. Boll rot, boll worm, boll weevil, red.

spider, wilt an-i other afflictions have taken their toll. Most observers say the south eastern crop has been hardest hit and has lost ground since Sept. 1, particularly in Alabama and Georgia. Rain and lower temperatures favored boll weevil activity and delayed maturity In some areas And while this should be the holfhth of the picking season in the deep south, most of the cot ton still is in tne iieias. Great damage has been done as farmers tell of heavy tolls weighted to the wet ground and rotting, middle crops lost to the bad weather in July and top crops eaten by the weevil.

Reports from North Mississippi are that the crop has depreciated 15 to 20 per cent, with losses as high as 25 per cent in some parts of Arkansas. The result has been a sharp rise in the price of cotton futures and spot prices on the nation various markets. New York spots closed at 42.01 last Saturday, with futures see. sawing over moderate limits on alternate trade buying and hedge selling. Spots went to 41.15 cents on the Memphis market, to reach the highest level since 1919 when the price was 43 cents, Of course, this Is a long way from the wild dollar-a-pound cot ton of immediate cost-Civil War days, but the result ultlmntely will be reflected in a higher cost for such 'things as shirts and towels.

Hoboes, Age 2 and 4, Miss Their Ride BATON ROVGE, La. Sept. 18 (flV-A couple of "Bo hopped a rattler at Denham Springs, and rode two miles before they weie discovered in the caboose of the freight train. Then there was no wm's rush and call for the law.
