The Better Business Bureau is not a credit bureau and no credit information of any kind is given. It does report on a firm's business ethics and record in the community. Regulars- Continued from page 1) hibit the loyalists from holding themselves as the state's Democratic party and also asked an injunction barring the use of the designation Democratic party, State of Mississippi by the other faction. Russell had indicated in his earlier ruling that the court would be open to further relief if the regulars were not given a chance to gain relief from the party officials in Washington. Waller declined comment following the credentials committee ruling and it was uncertain what steps he planned should the court refuse to move on behalf of the regulars.

He claimed the committee had acted arbitrarily and unconstitutionally in changing the rules on McGovern after the primary. Successors to the ousted Illinois delegates were selected in meetings in the state's congressional districts. Original selection was by popular vote of Illinois Democrats. The challengers are "new backroom bosses selected by losers" in the election, claimed Jerome Torshen, attorney for Daley forces.

The Credentials Committee held that the Daley slate underrepresented blacks, women and youth, and was compiled at closed meetings. The ousted delegates go to court in Illinois today in an attempt to prevent the successful challengers from attending the convention.

Market prices make gains NEW YORK (AP) Stock market prices made broad but fairly shallow gains in today's moderate trading. Glamour issues helped the trend. The noon Dow Jones average of 30 industrials was up 4.06 to 932.72 and advancing issues on the New York Stock Exchange had a margin of almost 2 to 1 over declining issues.

The Big Board index was up .31 to 59.82. On the American Stock Exchange the price-change index gained .07 to 27.39. Favorable factors influencing investors, said Charles M. Lewis of Treves included the fact that "the Paris peace talks will be resuming next week." He also declared that "second-quarter corporate earnings are going to be strong."

Japan's- (Continued from page 1) would have been expected had Fukuda been chosen. Tanaka made a brief, restrained acceptance speech stressing that unity of the party must continue. He has said previously that he would give his major attention to repairing the frayed relations with the United States and to bringing about diplomatic relations with Communist China. Problems with the United States developed when Japan achieved a favorable balance of trade, then steadily widened it with a river of low-cost, highquality goods poured onto the American market. Angry talk combined with American restrictions soured the old relationship, and relations are still strained despite a visit last month by presidential adviser Henry Kissinger.

President Nixon's unexpected rapprochement with Peking without prior consultation with its chief Asian ally, also hit Sato in the political jaw and weakened his standing within the country and the party. And Peking said there could be no real improvement in Japanese-Chinese relations until Sato went. Tanaka should be well fitted to deal with the economic problems between the United States and Japan, having served both as Minister of Finance and as Minister of International Trade and Industry. Short, dynamic and outspoken, Tanaka was the son of a poor horse trader-farmer turned carpenter. He did not go beyond high school, served in the army during the war as a cavalryman, got out because of illness and started a small construction business in Tokyo.

As his business prospered, he studied law at nights and made his debut in politics at the age of 28, winning a Diet seat in 1947.

Survivors are his wife, a daughter, Tracy Larraine, of Poplarville; his mother, Mrs. Irene Holliday of Poplarville; and a brother, John of Poplarville. John Edward Wright, 17, of 1006 Franklin was drowned Monday afternoon in a gravel pit off of James St.

Wright's body was recovered quickly by city fireman J. L. Cody. Cody said the body was located in about 15 feet of water "between two shallow places in the lake." Witnesses to the accident told officers Wright went to the gravel pit with a companion but that the other boy did not go into the water. Wright attempted to swim the width of the pit, about 150 feet, and seemed to get in trouble just after crossing a submerged sand bar.

Relatives told officers that the youth was subject to muscle spasms of the shoulders and neck and said this probably contributed to his drowning. The traffic mishaps over the state raised Mississippi's road death toll to 466 for the year, the Highway Patrol said. Nine persons died Tuesday before the holiday death counting period ended at midnight, including two Jackson sisters who drowned in the huge Ross Barnett Reservoir. They were identified as Dorothy Mae Taylor, 13, and her 9-year-old sister Barbara Ann. A Pascagoula man, Ricardo A.

Clay drowned Tuesday in the Mississippi Sound at Biloxi. Bodies of two drowning victims were recovered today from Lake Ferguson at Greenville. The two men were among three who drowned at the lake Monday. They were identified as Tommy Lee Misso, 18, Roger Dale Horton, 17, and Robert Odom, 18, all of Greenville. Tuesday's auto fatalities included: Curtis Stasher of Hernando, killed in a two-car accident near that city on U.

S. 51. Richard D. Collier, 58, of Meridian died Tuesday in the Community Hospital in Laurel of injuries he sustained Sunday in a two-car collision on 1-59 near the 16th Ave. exit.

Stacy Lee Baker, 6, of Columbia was injured fatally in the same accident and died shortly after the 2 p.m. wreck. Six other persons were injured in the accident. Willie Wright 43, and Edward S. Harmon, 21, both of the Vicksburg area were killed in a two-car crash three miles north of Vicksburg on U.S.

Wallace still is recovering from the gunshot wounds he suffered at the hands of a would-be assassin, but there is no indication the shooting has slowed down other campaigners.

Most of them feel as Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey said in a recent interview if you let yourself feel fear, it will be evident to the voters. And, there is no sign any of the major office seekers will avoid potentially dangerous situations. The day after Wallace was shot, President Nixon plunged into a crowd on the White House sidewalk to shake hands and pose for tourist photographers.

Nixon also has ventured out for dinner at Key Biscayne, and mingled with flood victims at Harrisburg, Pa. Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, said in an interview he has never been afraid personally while in a crowd. And, he said, he doubted other candidates would ever stop mingling with crowds.

"I just think it would be a mistake for our candidates to go under cover because of this possibility," Muskie said. "It would change the whole nature of our society and the nature of the campaign for the presidency of the United States." The attempt on the Alabama governor's life, combined with political assassinations of the past decade, however, has brought increased security measures for all presidential contenders. Agents are evident, for example, at such spots as Mus-kie's Capitol Hill office. The Secret Service also has started taking pictures of audiences at political gatherings. Mexico is bounded by the Pacific Ocean on the west and south; on the southeast by Guatemala, British Honduras, and the Caribbean Sea, and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico.

During the last two weeks, the U.S. Command has reported nine planes lost over North Vietnam and 16 fliers missing, raising the toll since the resumption of full-scale bombing on April 6 to 54 aircraft downed and 61 airmen missing. In a delayed report which apparently had to be cleared by the Pentagon because of its political sensitivity, the command said that a naval task force last Saturday caught a flotilla of barges transporting supplies from offshore freighters presumed to be from the Communist bloc. Navy spokesmen said the destroyers Berkeley, Everett F.

Larson and Gurke waited until the barges were clear of the freighters, then blasted them with their five-inch guns. The spokesmen said the destroyers' radarmen observed that 12 barges were sunk or damaged, but the ships were unable to identify the nationality of either the freighters or the barges because of darkness. Radio Hanoi claimed today that North Vietnam is getting war supplies by sea through 12 coastal points which the United States had not been able to close by mines or offshore patrols. The broadcast did not locate any of the points. In South Vietnam, the U.S.

Command said, American planes accidentally attacked South Vietnamese marines five miles southeast of Quang Tri City. The command said 11 marines were killed and 30 were wounded. Spokesmen said the attack is under investigation. Small clashes were reported east of Quang Tri City, and South Vietnamese forces were reported still on the outskirts of the provincial capital that is the first major objective of the counteroffensive launched last week. Heavier fighting broke out to the rear of the offensive.

Spokesmen said North Vietnamese forces shelled and assaulted South Vietnamese positions about 10 miles southwest of Hue but were driven back with air and artillery strikes. The Saigon command claimed 67 of the attackers killed and said South Vietnamese casualties were two killed and 12 wounded. Hue was shelled Tuesday for the third night. Five 122mm rounds landed, wounding one soldier. On the southern front, four fights raged along the Cambodian border 50 miles west of Saigon, and the Saigon command claimed 132 North Vietnamese troops were killed.

It said South Vietnamese losses were six men killed and 27 wounded. Olympic trials enters last day MARION, Mass. (AP) -Jeff Lenhart of San Diego held a commanding lead in the Finn class and Glenn Foster of New York led in the Tempest class today in the final trials of the U.S. Olympic sailing competition on Buzzards Bay. Lenhart had a low total of eight points.

In the Tempest competition, Foster had 5.7 points. (Continued from page 1) U.S. Circuit Court in Washington. U.S. District Court Judge George L.

Hart refused Monday to overturn Democratic Credentials Committee decisions ousting 151 McGovern delegates from California and 59 uncommitted delegates from Illinois headed by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. Frank Mankiewicz, McGovern's national political director, said on the CBS radio program "Capitol Cloakroom" there is still hope the competing Illinois delegations can reach a compromise "and that something can be worked out seating them both." In this sweltering convention center, meanwhile, the City Council planned to reconsider today whether it will reverse a decision against granting campsites for the young nondelegates expected in Miami Beach. At a news conference Tuesday, Convention Manager Richard Murphy announced that the hall would be "buttoned up" from midnight Sunday until late Monday afternoon for a bomb search recommended by the Secret Service. He said afternoon sessions may be necessary next Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon to handle minority reports on the party's platform before the nomination proceedings begin.

Alternate delegates may be forced to take seats in the gallery, Murphy said, because Credentials Committee rulings on contested delegations have resulted in half-vote splits between warring factions. A number of protesters are already here, in advance of the candidates and delegates. About 40 staged a brief mock funeral outside the Convention Hall Tuesday for a young Vietnamese killed in Saigon Sunday when he tried to hijack an American plane. When they sought to drop a 3-by-5 foot slab of plywood Local firemen's request for rehearing denied The state Supreme Court Monday afternoon rejected a petition from Fireman's Local 184 for a rehearing on their suit attempting to strike down a Hattiesburg Civil Service requirement that makes it mandatory that firemen live within the city limits. Earlier the court ruled that the city government was within its rights to have such a requirement.

The action of the high court followed on appeal from a Chancery Court ruling. Representatives of the local firefighters' group say they plan to appeal the matter to the federal court system, to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.

Spassky told The Associated Press this afternoon he still did not know whether the match would begin Thursday.

He said there would be an announcement by the Russian delegation later. as part of the ceremony, police retrieved it twice, then carted it off in a boat the third time. The demonstrators then dispersed. While the demonstrators and party officials were the main players on this stage, major attention was still on the credentials battles in Washington. In Circuit Court, Joseph A.

Califano the attorney for the Democratic National Convention, pressed his argument that the federal courts have rto role in the credentials issues, regardless of the wisdom of what the party panel was doing. "If it (the party) wants to push the self-destruct button on these issues, that's its First Amendment right," he argued. The California case, heading for a convention showdown on Monday night, is the most crucial because the 151 delegates taken from McGovern by the committee decision to require proportional representation of the 271 delegates may leave him short of a first-ballot nomination. Including the decisions reached by the Credentials Committee, the latest Associated Press count gives McGovern 1,281.9 first-ballot votes 237.1 short of the 1,509 needed for the nomination. Restoration of the 151 California votes could leave him less than 100 away.

Far behind the South Dakota senator are Humphrey with 498.55; Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace, 381; and Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, 225.55.

A total of 454.4 are uncommitted. In other developments President Jerry Wurf of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employes switched his support from Muskie to McGovern. But United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock said praise for McGovern Monday night was "misconstrued" as being an endorsement. He added he could support either McGovern or Humphrey but that "it looks as if McGovern is going to get it." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People adopted a resolution at its 63rd annual convention in Detroit condemning President Nixon for his antibusing views and saying he had aroused "passions of hate and bitterness" among Americans.

Police said Smith apparently slipped aboard the unoccupied jet about 5 a.m. and demanded that American Airlines provide a pilot for the craft. "I want a pilot," he shouted to police and FBI agents who surrounded the plane as it stood at a terminal gate. A group of FBI agents and police gathered near a ramp to the plane, using a baggage cart as a barricade. A man and woman took turns using a bullhorn to call up to Smith.

The woman, identified by an FBI agent as Smith's mother, walked part way up the ramp at one point, talked with Smith, then returned.
