WILLIAMS AMERICAN Staff Writer Former trucking and moving company executive Jim Bean used a 500-vote margin Tuesday to take the District 44 Senate seat from Petal businessman Farris "Poodle" Shows. "I would like to thank the voters for their trust," Bean said Tuesday night. "With their votes, (the voters of District 44) can consider that they've done their part.

Gannett News Service WASHINGTON When Antonin Scalia was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1982, the American Bar Association only gave him a "qualified" rating. But Scalia's supporters say the ABA withheld its two higher ratings because of his conservatism not his credentials.

Tuesday, both Scalia's credentials and his ideology played a part in President Reagan nominating him to the U.S. Supreme Court. Success, however, is nothing new to Scalia (pronounced Ska-lee'-ah). Born in Trenton, N.J., Scalia decided to go to college in the marble-and-power city of Washington, D.C. There, the affable, energetic son of an Italian immigrant became the brightest star of Georgetown University's Class of '57 graduating valedictorian, first in his class and summa cum laude.

"Some judges, when they put on their robes, have a big ego, but he's just down to earth," said Paul Kamenar of the Washington Legal Foundation.

"He's very personable, has a great sense of humor and is very unassuming." University of Chicago Law School Associate Dean Douglas Baird agrees. "He's a very fine lawyer who approaches problems in a common sense, down-to-earth way," Baird said. "In addition to all that, he's a warm person youthful, vigorous, fun." Even Scalia's legal adversaries respect him. Burt Neuborne of the American Civil Liberties Union begrudgingly said: "Scalia is very smart man his biggest asset is a formidable intelligence and independent man. You can't ask for much more than that." Pat McGuigan of the Free Congress Foundation sums it up this way: "He's a nice guy." But that doesn't mean Scalia's legal rulings are universally liked.

Johannesburg's black newspaper, The Sowetan, which is white-owned, appeared with a three-column-wide blank space on its front page, and said it had been effectively censored from carrying pictures from Soweto, the city's vast black township. The Sowetan said it was effectively prevented from carrying even pictures of blacks in the township playing or praying because it would have to seek police permission.
