The wind-whipped tides covered most of the coast and the ground floor of the Cameron courthouse was reported 2-5 feet under water. Associated Press newsman Stanley Meisler, who toured between Port Arthur. and Lake Charles, reported debris littered highways and streets the battered section.

TREES, SIGNS SCATTERED He said Audrey scattered trees and signs, pulled roofs off houses and ripped telephone and electric lines from poles. "At Sulphur," Jvleisler said, "Audrey smashed a drive-in theater to bits.

Dave Yarbrough of Prattville refused to vote. The bill under consideration, sponsored by Sen.

Herman Vann of Huntsville, is identical to a measure also pending in the House of Representatives. It would put a limit of 3 per cent per month interest on loans up to $100 and IV per cent for the next $400. During some two hours of testimony by supporters of the bill the Senate committee heard statements almost identical to those made earlier before the House Business and Labor Committee. Witnesses testifying included Rep. Roscoe Roberts of Huntsville, Rep.

Hugh Kaul of Birmingham, Atty. Gen. John Patterson, labor leader Earl Pippen and the Rev. George Bagley, an official of the Alabama Baptist Assn. Roberts, a bonafide crusader on the question of short loan legislation told the committee: "I wouldn't be in the short loan business for all the money in Alabama.

I had rather have prostitution going on in my garage than to be in the small loan business." Opponents of the bill did not testify, and it was this group which Calvin wanted to hear. Palmer Keith Jr. of Birmingham, an attorney representing the loan companies, told the committee it would take "45 minutes or an hour" for their presentation. But when Calvin suggested they go ahead and testify, Keith recalled that there were several other opposing witnesses "so it might take an hour and one-half Hurricane Audrey, moving Inland at a lesser speed today, will cause heavy rains in Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio valley.

Other merchants agreed with the Brantley's, and B. D. Cohn, manager of Gottlieb's Department Store, the largest here, expressed the hope that the long and friendly business relations with Negroes would soon be renewed.

"We have always helped them (the Negroes) with their many projects and it is our hope that they will see the injustice of punishing us for something we didn't instigate." E. C. Howard who has operated a dry cleaning plant here for 37 years, joined with the others in saying "the boycott is certainly directed at an innocent group of people who have helped to build this town into a respectable, enjoyable place in which to live. While some merchants are already 'hanging on the ropes' the economic situation at best can be described as serious. The merchants, all seriously affected by the boycott, do not blame Mayor Phil Lightofot and the City Council for the bombastic development.

They are mighty anxious to remind all parties responsible for the boycott that the merchants should not have to suffer this wound. Reports were circulated here that cars, trucks or buses had been made available for Negroes who wished to travel outside the city limits of Tuskegee to shop.
