Stock market takes beating NEW YORK (AP The stock market today took a severe beating, which analysts blamed on bad news about Laos and the economy as well as on profit-taking pressures.

Trading was very active. The decline swept through stocks of virtually every industrial group. By noon the Dow Jones average of 30 industrials, which had been sinking fast since the session's start, had tumbled 10.61 points, or 1.20 per cent, to 867.95, near the low for the session so far.

"That since the suit was filed by the Firefighters Local 184 against the City of Hatties-bi rg, the City has begun to harass and fire employees of the fire department without any cause whatsoever for political reasons, and that such conduct on the part of the City of firing employees without cause is reducing the fire department to the extent that there will not be enough firemen left to put out a brush fire if it is not stopped." Fire Chief A. G. Sumrall said today that some three weeks ago Morgan started to build himself a new home in McLaurin area and that he and his family moved into the home before it was completed. On Feb. 15, Sumrall said, he notified Morgan that he was 0 move back into the city and that he had three days to comply with the order to 0 back inside the city.

The letter from the fire department notifying Morgan that he had been removed from the fire department was dated Feb. 17, according to Jones. Sumrall went on to say that he was not concerned with where a fireman lived as long as he maintained a residence and was a qualified voter inside the city. "I'm not going to run around at night checking houses to see if the men are there," he said.

Power The City of Hattiesburg has intervened in opposition to a rate increase requested by Mississippi Power Company. Commissioner Ford Vance said today that he, Mayor Paul Grady, Commissioner Walter Parker, and city attorney Frank Montague went to Jackson Friday to appear at a hearing on the request for increase held before the Mississippi Public Service Commission. The city previously had filed a brief opposing the increase on the grounds that it would be inflationary at a time when interest rates are going down. Montague made a statement in support of this brief at Friday's hearing. "We are acting on behalf of the citizens of Hattiesburg in an effort to keep their electric rates from going up," Vance said.

The Public Service Commission is expected to rule shortly on the rate increase request, which was made last month by the company. Morning stocks id to state JACKSON, Miss.

V. Montgomery. State officials scheduled a meeting with William Hollo-way, regional director of the office of emergency planning, who planned to tour the area. Stennis said: "Within 12 hours of the storm, almost as many deaths have been attributed to Mississippi tornadoes as were attributed to the entire California earthquake of two weeks ago. "Such magnitude of devastation demands fullest cooperation of federal government with state and local officials." Eastland, whose plantation was in an area skirted by the storm's worst fury, planned a personal tour "unflower County later in day.

A spokesman for the University of Mississippi at Oxford said 40 students were hospitalized after a tornado struck a trailer park on the edge of the campus. He said 50 trailers were destroyed and 50 others damaged. Damage at Inverness, a community of about 1,100 persons about 90 miles northwest of Jackson, was widespread. Ray Armstrong, a Civil Defense worker who was helping to look for victims in the debris, said: "We don't know how many are dead, how many are injured or how many may still be under this stuff." Authorities said a Negro section of Inverness was completely flattened and all homes in a four-block white residential area were either destroyed or heavily damaged.

Louisiana was placed under a tornado watch in early afternoon, but little severe weather developed until the system neared the Mississippi border. The Weather Service in New Orleans said the system which produced the unusual number of twisters contained "a very deep low" pressure system fed by un seasonably warm air boiling in from the Gulf of Mexico. A spokesman said the conditions which set the stage for Sunday's tornadoes were no different in nature from those which often occur, but were more pronounced. In the Midwest and Southwest, a snow storm struck, kill ing five persons, stranding trav elers and cutting power lines. Oklahoma and Kansas were hardest hit.
