Boudreaux said the judge found the three geographical districts set up by the school board were not designed to dilute minority votes.

Boudreaux said the 'school board tried to impress' on the judge the high cost of a separate election if action on the suit and reapportionment was delayed.

The committee was formed in the wake of a ruling by a three-judge federal court in New Orleans striking down Louisiana's property tax relief fund distribution formula. The property tax relief fund is the system by which the state reimburses to the parishes funds the parishes do not collect because of the state homestead exemption.

The court said the distribution formula was unconstitutional because the fund was not distributed on an equitable basis among the parishes. The judges enjoined the state from distributing any of the $72 million in the fund and ordered the legislature to come up with a new distribution formula by Sept. 1.

bombing raids today smashed through North Vietnamese troops who had surrounded them for two days on the northern rim of Quang Tri City and edged deeper inside the Communist-held provincial capital. Military sources said intense naval and air support helped the 800 marines battle through the Communist ring and that U.S. Army helicopters for the first time since Tuesday managed to land at the marine field headquarters a mile northeast of Quang Tri with supplies and reinforcements. Casualties included one American and about 40 soldiers wounded in the fighting and the chief of staff of the paratroop division, Col. Nguyen Trong Bao, was killed when Communist gunners shot down his helicopter as he was surveying the action, sources said.

American officials considered Bao one of the more able infantry officers 1 Baudoin said the shooting occurred around 10 a.m. apparently as a result of an argument and a fight at the Gay Paree Lounge on U.S. 90 but he said it has not been determined yet who fired the shot that struck Rani.

Granger and Sonnier are in the parish jail in Franklin, he said.

It's That Easy And Low In Cost To Sell The Things Yon No Longer Need To Someone Who Can Use Them. CALL PHONE 384-8370 1 MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Up to Thursday, Tom Eagleton was a happy-go-lucky 1 delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Today he is the convention's nominee for vice president and the fun times seem to be over. "Yotfre kidding," the 42-year-old freshman senator from Missouri replied when Sen. George McGovern called his hotel room to say he wanted Tom to take second place on the party's presidential ticket.

"I'm dead serious," McGovern replied. "Let me hasten to say yes," Eagleton said, "before you change your mind." Earlier Eagleton had soaked- uo the Florida sun around his hotel pool, in red and yellow trunks that revealed a stomach turning to paunch, possibly a product of the period when as a young lawyer he represented his home town firm of Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis. Other Missouri delegates taunted Tom about his stocky construction. "That is chest," hei proclaimed, slapping himself in the gut.

I Most Were Surprised Eagleton was no more surprised than about 99 per cent of all the other Democrats when the party's presidential nominee tapped him for the vice presidential role. Gov. Jimmy Carter of Georgia, when informed of the choice, said the name was a new one to him. Others were more diplomatic. And unlike other conventions, where the No.

Lt. Gov. James Fitzm orris, chairman of the committee, said the group must submit a final report to Edwards by Aug. 14.

The governor has called a special session of the total of 71 other prospects from Martha Mitchell to Archie Bunker. But that was only in fun, and after giving Eagleton 1,741.81 votes far more than enough they made him their unanimous choice. "I know I'm 'Tom Who?" Eagleton told newsmen. "I know I'm not a household word. It's going to take a lot of work on my part." Exactly how he came to be chosen to run for vice president probably won't be known until Teddy White writes his quadrennial book about the making of the president.

But enough leaked out of McGovern's penthouse suite to establish that Eagleton was considerably less than a quick, easy pick. Elbndor And Johnston Viow Dono Slate BATON ROUGE, La. (UPD-Both U.S.Senators from Louisiana have said they plan to vote for Democratic nominee George McGovern for president, but neither would profess enthusiasm that he was their party's choice. Sen. Allen Ellender said Thursday he would definitely refrain from any active campaigning on McGovern's behalf.

Sen. Russell Long refused to reveal whether he intended to campaign for McGovern. J. Bennett Johnston, who is running for the Senate against Ellender, said Thursday he would sit the presidential campaign out. McGovern is unpopular among most Southern Democratic officials, who say the party will lose the South in the presidential election with him as the nominee.

Interviewing of commercial fishermen to learn ways science can help improve fishing will begin in St. Mary Parish on Tuesday, announced Minus J. Granger, county agent for St. Mary Parish. Granger explained L.S.U.

has received Sea Grant funding in order to study ways to improve the fishing industry in Louisiana and protect it in the future. The first step of this program is to visit with commercial fishermen and learn their ideas on what the major problems are and what can be done to improve fishing. "Our commercial fishermen can give us first hand information about the problem since they make their living at shrimping, crabbing, and harvesting Granger said. He urged all fishermen who are contacted to cooperate in this study. The commercial fishermen can give information that can help make sure that Sea Grant funds are used to solve the most important problems.

Without the help of commercial fishermen, some time and effort could be expended on matters of less importance.
