His special, message, containing glimpses of the "Great Society" Johnson envisions, said farm policy must re geared to "an over-all effort to serve our national interest, at home and abroad." Leaving many of the details to be filled in later, he recommended that Congress continue and improve present price-supprograms for major commodities, authorize a vast cropland retirement program to bring supplies and demand in better balance, and give special attention to small farmers. For two commodities, tobacco and rice, the President urged two-price systems to make them more competitive in world markets. And he said he recommend later specific legislation to make cotton more with other fibers in world markets and to reduce the cost of the program to the governlevel of meplushtocieduce Johnson said the present wheat and feed grain programs should be extended and improved, and the wool law extended.

This would supplement the annual acreage diversion and acreage allotment programs now in elfect, under which farmers teceive payments for taking land out of surplus crops.

Court Orders Strike End In Mobile MOBILE (AP)-Striking longshoremen in the Port of Mobile were ordered Thursday by a circuit court judge to return to work. Circuit Judge William Caffey signed an injunction against the International Longshoremen's Association locals at Mobile. The order had been requested by the Mobile Steamship Association on the grounds that a new agreement had been reached in the Port of Mobile and the contract calls for no work stoppage for the life of the four-year pact. The Mobile shippers argued that the recently negotiated is now in force and therefontract longshoremen should return to work immediately.

The longshoremen at Mobile had refused to work until labor agreements were reached in all Gulf and Atlantic coast ports. ILA locals have been on strike since Jan. 10 and union officials said the work stoppage would continue until all locals had ratified the contracts. The Mobile local's members had voted unanimously, to ratify the new Friday night. The petition for an injunction contended that the contract agreed to here contains no-strike and no-lockout clauses, which the union members are charged now with violating.

Negroes have complained that college graduates cannot answer some of the questions used by the board and drawn up by the Alabama Supreme Court. The court order did not specifically tell the board how often it must meet, but it said that if all prospective voters who have applied prior to next July 1 have not been processed by the end of the month a voter referee will be assinged to handle the registration. The court found that the board has deprived Negroes of the right to vote and that the board members have followed "an extremely slow registration process." Negro leaders obviously had anticipated the court order because they had suspended their (street demonstrations earlier in the day and had spoken of the possibility that "things would be worked out." In New York, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which asked for the injunction, issued a statement from chief counsel Jack Greenberg calling the order "a great victory." "It marks the beginning of the end of voter discrimination in Selma," the statement said. attorneys plan similar suits in other Alabama counties." It did not specify which ones.

At a conference Thursday, Johnson said his message is for all farmers, large and small, and, indeed, for all Americans. He said continued price supports for major commodities are necessary to prevent a catastrophic decline in farm income. To help little farmers expand their operations and to assist their neighbors no longer interested in farming, Johnson proposed legislation to permit transfer of crop acreage allotments in the same state. Those longer interested in farming could add to their income by selling or leasing their allotments.

He demanded that President Johnson undertake a full-scale investigation of the Ku Klux Klan and said, "If the federal government doesn't take the cover off, we'll take it off." To counteract the possible effect of the speech by Malcolm another of the Negro ministers, the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, talked to the students and re-emphasized the of nonviolence. He told them: "We don't believe in shooting down white people in order for black people to live. We have decided long ago go that you can't go around this country killing white people." Negroes, he added, will not turn to communism "or any other ism." Two Doctors Show Up For Jenkins WASHINGTON (AP) Two psychiatrists and a lawyer showed up Thursday in place of Walter Jenkins at the Senate's Bobby Baker hearing. The hearing was closed and newsmen got only second-hand accounts of what happened, but the psychiatrists were reported to have urged that, Jenkins, a former top aide President Johnson, be excused from testifying.

Jenkins resigned from his White House job at Johnson's request last October after it was disclosed that he had twice been arrested on morals charges, and has since been under treatment for what was described as "a depressive reaction." Chairman B. Everett Jordan, said no decision was reached at the Senate Rules Committee meeting on whether to insist that Jenkins put in a personal appearance.

BENTON -This tiny community, located in Lowndes County near the Dallas County line has once again become a full-pledged town. With a population of "more than 75," Benton now has a mayor, a city clerk and city councilmen. According to Dr. John Staggers, Benton's mayor, the little town was re-incorporated last Nov. 19.

Lowndes County Probate Judge Harrell Hammonds appointed the city officers. In addition to Dr. Staggers as mayor, Douglas Kirk, Richard Peck, Dudley Mason and Hoffman Rhyne were appointed councilmen. Mrs. Staggers is acting city clerk.

Benton, in 1834, was a thriving Alabama trading center with a river landing and, according to Staggers "it was much bigger than Montgomery at that time." "In fact," said Staggers, "people from here went to Montgomery and made it." But Benton, like lots of other early towns, "just died out." Until the announcement that a $10-million 1 Dan River Mills plant would be built at Benton, no plans had been made to re-incorporate the city. Staggers said the action came, not because the people in Benton: were against the Dan River Mills or other future development, but to control the possible future development. "He said the people in Benton wanted to be able to keep "undesirable elements" out of the city. to see us," said the new mayor of Benton, "if you can find us." Government Troops Gain Control Of Laos Capital BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) Loyalists held complete control of Vientiane Thursday and rebel survivors of a 10-hour battle that pitted rightist against rightlist in Wednesday the were Laotian reported capital ing up at Paksane. Paksane is a rightist military headquarters town 70 miles northeast Vientiane on Mekong River, which forms the frontier between Laos and Thailand.

Advices 1 from across the ong said the town was the goal of a flight by Gen. Phoumi Nosavan, the rightist deputy premier whose luxurious villa was burned in the battle, and Gen. Siho Lamphoutacoul, the commander of both military and civilian police in Vientiane. Siho, 31, had cast his lot with a group of young army officers, led by an aide of Phoumi, in an uprising they said was aimed at reforming the army's high command. Gen.

Ouane Rathikone, still, firmly in the saddle as the army's chief of staff, told reporters in Vientiane that Phoumi and Siho fled with an esti-, mated 300 men. Military sources estimated as many as 60 persons were killed in the battle. Uncounted others were wounded. A U.S. Embassy said damage from mortar fire included destruction house of an embassy employe." The house was unoccupied at the time.

However, and as in the case of previously reported Body Of Mobile Man Found In Mississippi LUCEDALE, Miss. (AP) -The body of a man found along railroad tracks here was identified Wednesday as that of George E. Hargrove, 84, of 155 McGill, Mobile, Ala. Authorities who checked the Mobile address reported the man left there Jan. 15.

Dr. R. E. Tipton said at an inquest the man appeared to have been dead at least two the embassy dispenMarine barracks there were no American casualties. Thailand's premier, Thanom Kittikachorn, made a personal inspection of the border area opposite Vientiane.

He said a number of Pathet Lao guerrillas were reported sighted a few miles west of Vientiane and he ordered Thai troops and border police to that area to keep watch. The guerrillas are pro-Communist foes of the government neutralist Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma. They may hope to capitalize on the split in the ranks of his rightist supporters. Elgin Seeking Chairmanship Of State GOP Julian Elgin, Montgomery cattleman said Thursday he is seeking election as chairman of the Alabama Republican Party.

Elgin has been a frequent critof John Grenier, who recently resigned as state GOP chairman.

He pointed out in a statement Thursday that he was the Re publican nominee for senator in 1960 and for commissioner of agriculture in 1962 and commented, "I feel that I am miliar with the party and dedicated to placing the Republican Party at the service of the people of Alabama." "This is no time to dissipate the forces of those who would stand up for Alabama," Elgin said. "The times call for unity of purpose." He urged that those who supported him in the past and others who oppose "the forces of unAmericanism, the usurpers of the Constitution and the totalitarian left-wingers" to "speak LOCAL KLING, John F.
