Back at James A pair of Ward 1 police jurors, barbecued" by Assessor Trent James in the watershed dispute Saturday, did some cooking of their own today. John McConnell flatly denied making a deal with James to support the project and accused the assessor of "slinging vilifica tions." Louis Ulmarm charged James with "raising a smoke screen and attempting to confuse and mislead the voters." He said such methods are used by dictators and empire builders when they can't sell an issue on its own merits." "That is exactly what James and (Hot Wells resort manager) Ed Barrett are attempting to do with their pathetic cries of petty politics and fencing with wind mills," Ulmann said. McConnell said he would leave the game of petty politics to "be played by the experts." McConnell 'Amused' "I was rather amused at James' remarks about some political dream he had concerning me being appointed mayor of Alexandria in the event the pre sent mayor had been elected lieutenant governor, McConnell said.

"It was absurd to make such a remark since it has no bearing on the watershed issue and especially since It is completely untrue." "Actually, I was loo busy at the time running for re-election' to the police jury to dream up such a proposal," he added. "Mr. James was lucky enough to have his opponent eliminated on a technicality while I chose to follow the democratic tradition ot letting the people Fund Dedication Would Be Halted BATON ROUGE (AP) -Rep. Eugene W. McGehee of Baton Rouge last night introduced a bill to give the Legislature added control over expenditure of state revenus.

His proposal would eliminate statuatory dedication of funds not tied to bond retirement. McGehee estimates the move will swell the general fund by 165 million dollars. Present laws divert the 165 million directly to state agencies for operations. McGehee's bill, written to become effective a year from now, would triple the $74 million in revenues controlled by the Legislature. The Baton Rouge lawmaker explains that existing dedications afford some departments more money than they actually need.

He charged as a result of a "concerted effort" is made to expend the surpluses so they will not revert to the general fund. roll 1121 Chester St. AIR CONDITIONER pose constitutional amendment to exempt agricultural implements from all taxes.
