The remaining five junior colleges, Hinds in Raymond, Utica, Coahoma in Clarksdale, Mississippi Delta in Moorhead and Copiah-Lincoln in Wesson, probably would be settled through a trial, he said. He said the five schools were located in a junior college district that overlaps the district of another and that the plaintiffs felt each school would receive more local tax revenues if it were in a separate district. Moody said the agreement would be submitted to U.S. District Court Judge William Keady by Sept. 1.

He said the plan was a compromise of the individual desegregation plans submitted in 1975 by each of the junior colleges. The junior college official said the Justice Department had scheduled Sept. 1 as the deadline for making comments about the acceptability of each of the plans under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

He said the day-to-day operations of the board would be under the commissioner, just as the state bank comptroller supervised the daily work of the banking board. Member Odell Godwin of Indianola said the fact that all state-chartered associations must have federal deposit insurance "mandates a very high degree of cooperation between the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and this board." However, members said they would make certain the commissioner had enough audit and statistical information for the proper supervision of the associations under him. Godwin also said that board wanted to secure a commissioner as soon as possible because it needed his expertise in drafting rules and regulations for the industry.

Neill and Godwin, both officials of associations, said they expected all members to recuse themselves from voting on matters in which they had pecuniary interests. Eastland working on behalf of a former state senator Sears JACKSON, Miss. (AP) Boards of trustees of some Mississippi junior colleges have agreed to a proposed out-of court settlement over how to increase the number of black students and faculty members, officials say. Dr. George Moody, state director of junior colleges, said the proposal had been submitted to 11 of the state's 16 junior colleges.

He said trustees at some of the two year schools had accepted the plan, but he declined to identify the schools. The junior colleges were included in the suit filed in 1975 by the Black Mississippians' Council on Higher Education. The suit also covered the state's public senior colleges. Attorney Isaiah Madison of Vicksburg, representing plaintiffs who filed suit in 1975 charging that the state's system of higher education promoted racial discrimination, said the proposed agreement sets up timetables for hiring faculty members and enrolling students who are of races other than the predominant race at each junior college. The plan projects enrollment ratios through 1980, Madison said, but that the deadline may be extended to 1982.

'We're not talking in terms of quotas," he said. "We're just talking about improving black ratios." The attorney said the proposal also would increase the number of blacks in administrative positions at the schools. Madison said the plan had been presented to 11 junior colleges, including East Central in Decatur, Holmes in Goodman, East Mississippi in Scooba, Holmes in Goodman, Itawamba in Fulton, Jones County in Ellisville, Meridian, Gulf Coast, Northeast in Booneville, Northwest in Senatobia, Southwest in Summit and recommendation for Patridge in which Finch said Patridge was capable of serving in a federal position. The Finch spokesman said Patridge had mentioned that he was trying to get a position on a nine-member federal parole board in Washington. The U.S.

Parole Commission has four members based in Washington, while the remaining members are the regional directors for the South Central, North Central, Southeastern, Western and Northeastern regions.

(AP) The new State Savings Association Board launched a search Tuesday for a commissioner to oversee the state-chartered savings and loans. Chairman Benny E. Pittman of Jackson called the biggest task" and said members wanted to secure the right man and did not know when he could be located.

"This is our first official meeting," said Pittman. "We had a brief three weeks ago to get acquainted, but no savings and loan business was brought up. We did elect officers." Pittman said the new board, set up to replace the old ex-officio board after a withdrawal crisis among the state-chartered asso ciations last year, had received three or four applications for the commissioner post. "We want a positive man," he told newsmen before the group went into executive session to plan for its work. We want enough (staff) to ensure that the depositors' money is in no danger."
