Save of Purvis. or Fresh By EDMOND LeBRETON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The machinery to enforce Phase 2 wage, price and rent controls is in place as 1971 nears its end, and administration officials are expressing hope but not making predictions that Hie restraints can be removed before 1972 ends. President Nixon signed the bill extending his control au-, thority for the full period he asked, through April 30, 1973. The legislation gives him essen-stially what he requested from Congress and one or two things he did not seek. One is a pay raise for federal civilian employes and the mili-'Lary Jan.

1 instead of July 1, at an estimated cost of more than billion. The act also specifies that pay raises caught in the freeze are to be paid under certain conditions. AFL-CIO President George Meany hailed this provision as a victory for labor. Among the beneficiaries are an estimated 1.7 million teachers. Secretary of Commerce Maurice H.

Stans, meeting with newsmen, predicted a strong 3 policemen resign from local force Chief of police Hugh Herring said today that three patrolmen had resigned and that the vacancies will be filled as soon as possible. Herring said Oscar Aldridge and Dan J. Breland said they were quitting to accept better-paying jobs. Allen H. Maxie gave no reason for leaving the department.

Aldridge joined the force Sept. 1, 1968, Breland July 1, 1969 and Maxie Dec. 26, 1970. This cuts the strength of the local police department to 50 Letter to editor HOG JOWLS Home for Mrs, Lottie Russell Britt, 62, of Hattiesburg, who died Saturday at the home of her son, Robert E. Russell, 1200 Windsor where she was making her home.

Rev. Kenneth Roberts and Rev. Stacy Carter are the ministers. Burial was to be in Easthaven Cemetery. Survivors are three sons, Robbie R.

BABY xrnivo nnv YEAR'S DAY Radiance Asks legislators io limii governor's pardoning power upsurge in the economy in 1972, perhaps reaching 6'i per cent, which would be the biggest annual gain since 1955.

Asked about the duration of the controls, he said "the decontrol process already is being studied," but that no one now can be sure when Phase 2 will end. The cost-of-living index moved up two-tenths of 1 per cent for November, the same rate as for October. It reflected the continued effect of the freeze that ended in mid-month and administration officials expressed satisfaction. Christmas shoppers apparently were not deterred. The Commerce Department, after a telephone check, said it appears seasonal buying was up 11 to 12 per cent in dollars over last year, 8 to 9 per cent in volume, which would be the biggest annual gain in five years.

The Pay Board and Price Commission continued to make decisions and to run into controversy. The commission issued complicated new guidelines on rents that chairman C. Jackson Grayson Jr. said would hold average increases to 3 or 3' 2 per cent. But Mrs.

Rossetta Wylie, tenant member of the Rent Advisory Board, said the regulations would be inflationary, enabling landlords to hike rents as much as 30 per cent in rare cases. Business members of the Pay Board issued a blanket challenge of all scheduled pay raises exceeding 7 per cent, throwing doubt on such future raises. Some other members questioned whether a blanket challenge was legal or practical, but the business members said they would challenge individually each raise over 7 per cent in any case. Internationally, the newly devalued dollar surprised its guardians by riding high on foreign exchanges. tried to accomplish on the misuse of drugs and illegal sales of narcotics.

And you gentlemen in the legislature have the power to change this law. Let it go on record that we sincerely believe that no one man in the should be given the unlimited power that this law provides him with. I beg you gentlemen as you take office in 1972, in the legiuslature, be mindful of the many students in our and schools even to your children and mine. Consider the harm that can be done by the misuse of drugs. And in closing, think of the many days and nights that our local law enforcement officers have spent trying to protect our children from drug abuse.

I am proud of our local law enforcement officers. Won't you gentlemen join our local law enforcement officers throughout the State of Mississippi by revising this law in giving one man this much authority. Respectfully. C. C.
