(CwHnuwi from Page I ffie amount of these credits, declined to estimate how much is in danger of being lost, saying he was not sure of (be amount and adding that although they aren'l (oo excessive, "it will be greater than 510,000. but far less than the 5500,000 in danger of being iosf by Nprdi Little Rock." Little said another item in the city's favor is the facl (hat HUD knows that "unless our project js funded soon, construction! will be further delayed because' tve only have about another 90 days of good weather in which to begin construction." As far as the overall status of the program, Little said, "I feel much better about the project, since we made this trip." The original purpose of (he tnayor's Washington trip was to testify before both (he House end the Senate's Public Works Subcommittees concerning a request for funds needed by Drainage District 17 for drainage projects Mississippi County. Little's appearance before the committees was at the invitation of the District's officials as part of a plea for more funds by (he Lower Mississippi Valley Flood Control Association. In addition to the Arkansas delegation, Little, said others speaking for the Association came as representatives from Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi Louisana, aH of whom are members of the organization. Fearful that District 17's request for $2.4 million in flood control funds might be lost in the shuffle of much larger re- quesfs, Little said he was adamant in pressing the district's case.

Little said his desire to speak for the district was strengthened after he was denied the opportunity to address he House Subcommittee orally. "Instead," he "after about six representatives had spoken for a small number of large Southern landholders about their pet projects, the rest of us were advised that we could submit a written eommu- nicaiiort with the subcommittee." Little said he didn't consider leaving a written report as the primary function of the trip, "because I wanted to talk to them and let them know just how sirongly we felt about our project and how desperately we need it." This opinion was conveyed to Alexander, "and he was largely responsible for insuring that I was permitted to speak before the District's flgW for ttw project will bear fruit will not known unlll final aclion oh the budget is taken this fall, 'he said. Ultle's confidence remains unshaken with regard to the proposal, as evidenced by his concluding comment. "The air base is our ace in (he hole liere. The government has about $64 million tied up wit there in fixed assets, and I think it would be reasonable to assume that they would want to spend J2.4 million to eon; trol flooding and protect that investment." Mrs.

Milligan DRINKS from Page 1) Rev. Paul Ktrkindall a 1 this morning that he was disappointed in only one respect. "I was pleased that we won," he said, "But I was disappointed that more people didn't fake a stand against it. "I'm not condemning anyone, you understand, but I do; fee that more people should a gone to the polls to voice their convictions against the sale a mixed drinks." Quoting from the Scripture. KirMndall added, "Jesus said 'He that is not with me is a- gainsl me; and he that gather- eth not with me scattereth of the election by precincts is as foloiws: Ward One For: 189 Against: 413 Ward Two For: 52.

(subcommittee)," Laughing softly, Little added that Alexander introduced him to the subcommittee "as fighting mayor of Blytheville." What is at issue, he continued, js how both the city and Blytheville Air. Force Base are going to find adequate means of handling rainfall runoff to prevent flooding. "The (Army) Corps of Engineers has made a study of Blytheville, the air base, and surrounding farmland, finding that we simply have no outlets to take care of rain water after the ditches are full. "The funds being requested will be used to clean existing ditches, widening them, and installing three additional pumping piants out where we have the single plant at Half Moon." Once this is accomplished, he explained, "we should get 90 percent relief and greatly tes- sen (he danger of flooding in this area." Drainage District 17 has already been successful in Including the project in the 1068 Omnibus Rivers and Harbors Flood Control Authorization Bill, Little said, "and now what we are frying to do is get the project included in the 197-71 (federal) budqci, so it can be funded." Whether or not Little's and PAGEANT (Continued from Page 1) you enforce discipline?" Judges for the event include Forrest City Municipal Judg Olmon Hargraves; Tim Bowles of "Osceola judge at the Miss Arkansas S(a te Beauty Pageant; And Miss Marti Meroney fashion coordinator for Lower steins Downtown of Memphis (Miss Meroney heH the fraa chise for the 1968 Miss Arkan sas Miss Universe pageant' Friday's first place wirme will receive a $100 U.S^ Saving Bond and an all expense-pai trip (with her chaperooe) to th Miss Arkansas contest.
