"We hope to move by spring before the tourist season, but it is still indefinite," Jones replied. "A lot will depend on the weather and other factors." Nancy Jones Howse, granddaughter of Casey Jones and a plaintiff in the lawsuit, said she was "naturally disappointed" with the decision. "It's a sad feeling. I just think it's a shame," she said.

Mary Jo Middlebrooks, a member of Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities, which opposed moving the home, said there would probably be no further legal action in the case. "What else is there to say?" she replied. "We tried but that's about as far as we can go." Please Turn To Page 5 By ELLEN DAIINKE Sun Reporter Casey Jones' East Chester Street home, where he lived until his fiery death aboard the "Cannonball," will be moved to U.S. Highway 45 Bypass sometime this winter, the president of the Old Country Store said Monday. Responding to a Tennessee Supreme Court ruling Monday upholding the city's lease of the home to the Old Country Store, Norwood Jones said the moving date still is being considered.

"OF COURSE, we're delighted because we felt all along that this was the way it would go," the president of the company said. "It's good news and we're glad to have this step behind us."

"We had been concerned about curtailment," said Madden, who has long been a proponent for deregulation.

"It was intrastate gas that kept us going last winter." "This is very good news," said Madden. "It gives us more security and means less operating cost." JUD ABSORBED an increase in purchase price of natural gas in August, May said, but three increases expected next year may be passed on to the customer. Increases are scheduled Feb. 1, April 1 and Aug. 1 he noted.

The additional cost will mean about $700,000 more annually, he said. As for extending gas lines to new residences, May said JUD will analyze the situation. "Some of it depends on the amount of building in Jackson," he explained. The demand for natural gas in new homes is still great, he noted. "Even now, it's still the best buy in fuel," May said.

a 20 percent curtailment. Lifting the curtailments is the result of a substantial increase in JUD's allocation from Texas Gas Transmission Co. May said the division will receive more than 366 million cubic feet, or more than than 10 percent, over the original allocation of 3 billion cubic feet. May said deregulation of natural gas in the energy bill passed by Congress last session has probably resulted in additional supplies. Interstate producers of natural gas have long sought deregulation on grounds that they could not compete with non-regulated intrastate companies in exploration for new gas.

NEWS OF THE end of the curtailment was generally greeted by local industry as good news, though some companies will not be affected. "Unfortunately, it's kind of a mixed blessing for us," explained Charles E. Dunham, plant manager for Quaker Oats one of JUD's major industrial customers. Dunham explained that in the emergency last winter the company, which is one of the interruptibles, By ELLEN DAIINKE Sun Reporter For the first time in five years, large industrial customers in Jackson face no curtailment of natural gas supplies for the approaching winter. Charles May, superintendent of the natural gas department for the Jackson Utility Division, said Monday the division has lifted curtailments to both firm industrial customers and interruptibles those industries that can use alternate fuels.

"UNLESS WE HAVE a very harsh winter, industries will have as much natural gas as they want," May said. He added that JUD will study the natural gas situation in Jackson to see if the ban on extending natural gas lines to new residential areas and small commmercial businesses can be lifted. Both the ban on natural gas line extensions and industrial curtailments began in 1973 when JUD took steps to curb dwindling supplies of natural gas.

Jackson A. The same height limitation is applied to both men and women, said Dennis Helmis, Navy recruiter in Memphis. A member of the Navy would have to be at least 5 feet tall to perform certain jobs. If the requirement were lowered on the basis of sex or for a particular job, it would be discrimination, he said.

Q.I am interested in getting plastic lenses for my glasses. Will they last as long as glass? Do they scratch badly? Why are they more expensive? II.B. Jackson A. Plastic lenses will last as long as glass lenses if properly cared for, said Richard Davidson, local optician. "Mine have lasted four or five years," Davidson said.

Plastic lenses are 40 percent lighter than glass and will not break as easily. The optical quality is the same, but the lenses do scratch more easily. When cleaning plastic lenses, always wet them, then wipe with a clean, soft cloth or tissue, Davidson advised. The lenses, made from rosin material, are more expensive because special machines and chemicals are required in their preparation. Also, the work in grinding the lenses is more tedious.

Sprague was prepared to plead guilty to murder and testify against Thomas Michael Menth, a co-defendant, but backed out Monday afternoon because of fear for his life.

1 a -Vg A SPRAGUE, 25. had been brought from the state penitentiary here to the Davidson County Courthouse in downtown Nashville to enter a guilty plea but refused until security could be arranged. Chancellor Robert S. Brandt ordered Sprague returned to the penitentiary until security measures are completed.

Both men had been offered the same arrangement. District Attorney General George Hymers of Jackson said.

Menth, from Mound, refused to accept the negotiated plea, and his trial began Monday in Davidson County Criminal Court, Division Two, with Brandt presiding as special judge. Selection of six men and six women jurors and two alternate men jurors was completed about 2:30 p.m. Monday. "Mr. Sprague feels he has a severe security problem involving his protection in this case and if it cannot be worked out, he feels he will not be able to testify," James Butler of Jackson, one of Sprague's court-appointed lawyers told Brandt.

"We feel it can be worked out in a couple of days, but it will take time," commented Assistant District Attorney General Jerry Woodall of Jackson. "We do not want to preclude this plea," Woodall said in explaining the situation to the chancellor. "When I said we were ready (earlier in the day to make a recommendation in open court in exchange for Sprague's plea and testimony) I was not aware of these late developments," Hymers said. SAN FRANCISCO AP Mayor George Moscone, who grew up and grew powerful here, and supervisor Harvey Milk, a New Yorker who built a political base among his fellow homosexuals, lie in state together today beneath the dome of City Hall, where both were assassinated. A political foe of both men, former supervisor Dan White, 32, is in jail, booked for investigation of the slayings which took place moments before Moscone was to announce White's successor at an 11:30 a.m.

news conference Monday. WHITE, WHO resigned early this month then decided he wanted his job back, walked into a police station 45 minutes after the shootings and eight blocks from the scene and surrendered, police said. Psychiatric tests were scheduled. Moscone, mayor since 1975, liked to say of his birthplace, "There's no place like it in the world." Milk said it was where he "finally found true happiness." The city they loved still reeling from news of the murder-suicide of more than 900 members of the San Francisco-based Peoples Temple in Guyana reacted with a spontaneous outpouring of grief. A crowd estimated by pplice at up to 40,000 strong marched to City Hall Monday night, their tear-streaked faces lit by candles.

Folksinger Joan Baez sang to the mourners and Dianne Feinstein, president of the Board of Supervisors and now acting mayor, addressed them. Moscone's last public appearance was Sunday night, when he wept at a memorial service for the dead church members, including leader Jim Jones whom the mayor had once named housing director in the city. PRESIDENT CARTER expressed "outrage and sadness at the senseless killings." At the National League of Cities meeting in St. Louis, Ken Erickson, mayor of Cheyenne, said: "The faces of the mayors around me grew paie when the announcement was made." White, a former police officer and fireman and the youngest person ever to serve as a supervisor, could be sentenced to death if convicted of the slayings. "He was not one of the lunatic fringe," chief administrative officer Roger Boas said of White.

"After all, he was elected to But witnesses said White screamed, "Give me my keys! Give me my keys!" before rushing down a hall to his old office, where Milk's body was later found.
