T. Zitzman, director of the West Tennessee office State Planning Commission, announced today trat he has accepted a similar position with TVA at Knoxville and will assume his new duties around January 1. Mx.

Zitzman came to Jackson, where his present office is located, in October 1948 and has helped to supervise planning work throughout West Tennessee. Zitzman stated his position will be filled by Roy L. Little who is presently assistant in the office. Little has been working out of the. Jackson office since September.

Some of the major projects completed in West Tennessee towns since Zitzman has been head of the office includes a traffic and parking study at Dyersburg; new zoning ordinance adopted at Paris; parking study and municipal golf course at Milan; property numbering system in Henderson; land use studies in Paris and Ripley waterfront study of land use along Kentucky Lake in Benton County; the organization of new planning commissions in Ripley, Greenfield, and Dresden.

A system for rerouting traffic on Jackson streets was also conducted. LONDON. Dec.

19 tn Britain, the United Statos a id Canada announced today a plan for standardizing their arms and military train-ing. "These arrangements will insure that in time of necessity there will be no material or technical obsta- cles to full cooperation among the armed forces concerned and the greatest possible economy in the use of combined resources and effort will be obtained," the Ministry of Defense saia. It added that "no treaty, executive agreement or contractual obligation has been entered into by the participating nations." The three nations hafe been ex-aming the standardization problem since 1947. Missions have now been exchanged between the three nations on a technical level. Here the U.S.

mission was generally called "Nuts and Bolts" and apt title for its mission of studying standardization of minor but vital parts in the western powers defense machinery. The Defense Ministry said "our arrangencnts were deventraliaed (down to the working level agencies of the armed forces of the three nations for study in various fields of military equipment and operational procedures xxx. "The studies are aimed at the gradual development of common designs and standards in arms, equipment, and training meUiods. "Cooperative ararngements for this purpose do not impair the control of any country concerned over any of the activities in its territory." "These arrangements, which have been under discussion since 1947. are a step towards the fulfillment of the wider arrangements under the North Atlantic military production and supply board which calls for the promotion of 'standadiza-tion of the parts and end products of military equipment' in the North Atlantic area.

They are similar to arrangements already made by the Brussels Treaty powers." Members of the Brussels Treaty group Britain, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Holland already have made considerable progress in standardization. This is particularly true in aviation where British-designed Jet-fighters have become the standard for fighter squadrons of France, Belguim and Holland. Some of the planes and engines, while of British design, are being built on the continent out of his team. Exchange President Earl Seaton today gave out with a moan typical of pre-game confidence. Imitating such consistent winners as Notre Dame's Leahy and Army's Blaik, Seaton groaned: "I feel sorry for my fellow Ex-changeites who are on the team.

However, they went into it with their eyes open. I hope they come out the same way." All of which should indicate to the initiate that Coach R. A. Long's Lancers are "in the pink" (some of them accidentally made contact at practice) and ready for the conflict. The Union-suited Exchange team is further pepped up over reports from the Golden Boys of Coach Harold Koffman's Jaycee outfit that left end lost his balance during practice yesterday and the entire line fell down.

"What will happen, do you think," Exchanges Bill Rosen-blum wondered, "when our captain, Judge August Wilde, plows into that line from the fullback spot?"

Russia Is Reported To Be Building Up Her Naval Strength By JOHN P.

RODERICK LONDON. Dec. 19 (Py While Britain and the United States are scrapping or mothballing many of their warships, Soviet Russia is reported to be building up her Naval strength with rocket-firing battleships and long-range submarines. Jane's fighting ships, the Authoritative Naval Publication said today the Russians are believed building three ultra modern. 35.000-ton battleships, equipped with radio-controlled aerial torpedoes and rockets.

Two others were said to be in the blueprint stage, and possibly in the shipyard stocks. Russia already is known to possess two battleships. The Soviet Union also envisages, as part of its five-year Naval Building program, a fleet of from 750 to 1,000 long-range submarines by 1951, Jane's said. Shipyards throughout the U. S.

S. R. and in the Soviet zone of Germany were reported working day and night in three shifts turning out smaller war vessels such as motor torpedo boats and mine sweepers Jane's regarded as the last word on the world's navies, emphasized that its information on Russia was presented "with all due reserve." Moscow does not publish details of its defense program. The new figures were included in Jane's 1949-50 edition which appeared today. The publication is unofficial but authoritative.

Jane's said it did not believe the Reds had etither the shipyards or the technicians to achieve their goal of 1,000 subs by the end of 1951. Submarine construction, it 'said, had been given special priority. A large 'number of new submarines of the German type with high submerged speeds and long ranges were scheduled for delivery during 1948-49. Some pre-fabricated submarines were reported shipped from the Baltic to the far East. Jane's estimated that Russia now has some 360 submarines of various types, including former German ones.

Under the completed program, 400 would be stationed in the far East, 300 in the Baltic and the rest in the Black and the White Political Profits From Civil Rights Showdown Seen By JACK BELL Yule Lights Contest Open To Friday With increased enthusiasm being shown in the Christmas Lighting Contest being sponsored by The Jackson Sun and Junior Chamber of Commerce residents are reminded that there is still time to enter before the deadline set at noon Friday, December 23.

Dec. 19 president Truman and Congress may have to fac a problem next month how to get John L.

Lewis' United Mine Workers back on a five-day work week. Pressure is increasing in some quarters for the President to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act. Industry -leaders say Lewis has created a national emergency through the four full scale walkout he's called this year and the three-day week which he has ordered Indefinitely for his 480,000 United Mine Workers. There's enough coal on hand for about three month unless unusually cold weather prevails. But retailers and steel companies are watching their dwindling stockpiles and are worried.

The steel companies are starting to eat up their rserves. They're trying to catch up with the production they lost during the recent 42-day old strike of the CIO United Steel-workers. It all adds up to increasing pressure on the industry and Lewis to get together on a contract to extend the one which expired last June 30. Lewis isn't saying anything. But he's keeping a close watch on efforts of his lieutenants to get independent soft coal operators to sign contracts and break away from the solid front maintained by the industry's leaders.

Meanwhile, negotiations are continuing with the anthracite operators who employ about 8C.00O miners. UMW officers say some contracts have been signed to cover a few of the 400.000 soft coal, miners. They haven't said how many but Indicate they have signed operators who produce about 10 per cent of the national tonnage. Top coal spokesmen scoff at the figures. Former representative Fred Hartley, co-author of the labor law, also is plumping for such action.

In a speech Atlantic City, N.J, yesterday. Hartley declared Lewis is "the nation's number one oil-burner salesman." He referred to companies and homes which have switched from coal to oil for fuel. In the contracts which Lewis has signed so far, he's gotten a 95 per cent increase to bring the miners' daily wage to $15. and a 15-cent increase in royalty payments to the UMW's health and welfare fund. Payments unaer the old contract are 20 cents a ton.

Regular payments to the fund are due tomorrow. Most operators are expected to pay However. Laurence E. Tierney, president of the Eastern Coal Corporation, at Bluo-field. W.

said his company would not meet thi payments. He urged other southern operators to follow his action but there was no indication they would do so.

Dec. 19 (JP) Police said today they are holding two "good suspects" in the burglary slaying of a Knoxville piano salesman.

"We have two very good suspects out of the more than 125 who were rounded up and questioned yesterday," Police Chief Joe Kimsey said. The police chief said the suspects, both negroes, are being held without charge in the slaying of William W. Hamilton, 35, who died in a hospital yesterday a half hour after he was shot. Kimsey termed the search for the slayer "easily the biggest manhunt ever held here." He said every available police officer had been thrown into the search and that county and state police also are investigating. Hamilton was shot in his bedroom about 3 avm.

Sunday while his wife looked on. She said the killer apparently was a negro. Kimsey quoted Mrs. Hamilton as saying she awakened her husband and whispered to him that there was a prowler in the room. Hamilton switched on a bed light leaped out of bed.

A man standing in a corner of the room fired once, striking Hamilton in the stomach. The intruder fled, taking Hamilton's trousers with him. They were found in an nearby alley later. Kimsey said the slayer apparently was familiar with the Hamilton premises. He said the burglar used Hamilton's own ladder to enter a window.

Police have a plaster cast of a footprint found at the foot of the ladder. Police fingerprint expert George Ireland flew to Washington today with the footprint cast and a gun which Homicide Olficer Carl T. Bunch said was taken off a negro picked up for questioning. "We want the FBI in Washington to make tests of them to see if the footprint is that of a known criminal and if the gun was the weapon used in the sloying." Bunch said.

McGuire of Ellendale, near Memphis, has the dubious honor of being one of the first two motorists involved in a traffic accident on the new Memphis and Arkansas bridge over the Mississippi here.

McGuire was taking part in the bridge's dedicatory parade Saturday when it happened. McGuire said he was "racing" along about 15 miles an hour in his 1902 Sears Roebuck "flivver" when another car got in the way. They sideswiped and scraped a little paint. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 (JP) Administration Democrats counted today on swift political profits to flow from plans for a Civil Rights showdown in the next ses-ion of Congress.

The session will begin Jan. 3. Senators Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic leader, says that showdown will come in the Senate on a bill to set up a permanent Fair Employment Practices Commission (FEPC). The agency would have power to enforce its orders against race and creed discrimination in jobs. The FEPC bill will offer the most serious affront to Southern Democrats and widen the breach that already splits that party.

At the same time, some administration leaders hope it will prove politically embarrassing to Senator Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio. Taft, dubbed by some of his friends as "Mr. Republican," is against the bill now on the Senate calendar. He plans to offer, instead a measure to set up a Fed-edal FEPC to obtain voluntary compliance with anti-discrimination rules.

Taft has said that the administration bill would create a board that in the long run' "will tell every employer how he must make up his labor force." The National Association for the advancement of colored people and other groups interested in the Civil Rights issue have made their stand clear: They are more interested in the FEPC bill than companion measures to abolish state poll tax and to make lynching a Federal crime. By the same token. FEPC is a red flag to the Southern Democrats. They will throw every effort into the attempt to prevent action on it by the Senate. In the House a similar bill has cleared the House Labor Committee and is tied up in the Rules Committee.

Chairman Lesinski (D-Mich) of the labor group has announced he will try to by-pass the Rules blockade. Even if the bill is blocked in each house, administration Democrats think they can harvest political profit out of the resulting situation. The Senate has a new rule, adopted last year, under which the "yes" votes of 64 Senators are required to halt the filibuster that Southern Democrats always' begin when any move is made to take up Civil Rights legislation. Previously, two-thirds of the Senators voting could end debate on a bill. But this rule didn't apply on motions to take up a measure.

The new debate limitation applies to a motion as well as a bill. Lucas has predicted publicly that new rule won't work that 64 Senators won't be on hand to vote when the debate gag question comes up. these facts, together with the wee-vill's appearance "in more north ern sections where it only occasionally occurs in destructive numbers, mark the 1949 season as an unusual year." "The occurrence and abundance of some of the other important pests also deviated from the average patterns," Rohwer said. "The bollworm was of unusual importance in some areas while the leafworm was generally absent. These and other facts had an important effect on the demand for insecticides needed for control.

"In general, however, insecticides were available in quantities and as required to meet farmer use. There were no significant cases where crop losses occurred because insecticides could not be secured." 18-Year-0ld Girl Found Living In'Attic GREENEVILLE, Dec. 179 (A) For 18-year-old Joyce Con-dess, police have ordered a Christmas presenta happier family life. Police Officer H. C.

Burgess said today that this is how it happened the law is lending Santa Claus a hand: Neighbors told "poTiceaturday that Joyce was living in an attic, sleeping on the bare floor with no blankets, coming down to eat scraps left on the table after supper. She told them she chose the attic because she didn't like her stepmother. She said she ran away from home two years ago because she didn't like her stepmother, and her father, Ernie Condess, wouldn't do anythiny about her. The stepmother is Condess' third wife. He has seven children by his second wife Joyce's mother but none by the stepmother.

The officers went back last night and found Joyce sleeping behind a couch in the parlor. Condess said that with his big family, there was not room for a bed. No charges were filed. Sheriff Dahl Druitt said he would continue his investigation, and Condess could have until Christmas to straighten out the situation and make a place for Joyce in the family-Sheriff Pruitt said his investigation indicated no force was used to make her live in the attic. 'She seemed to have been fairly well fed and in fairly good condition," he said.

"The Honey Boy." as I remember, made his last on-stage appearance here that night, dying soon afterwards. "Lasses" later headed his own minstrel show before going into radio and other entertainment I saw him several times, but always when I think of "Lasses" I remember that crazy laugh and the contagious joy he seemed to get out of the first starring night seas. The three new battleships were said to be the Sovietskl Soyuz (formerly the Treti Internatlon), the Sovietskaia Belyorussia and the Strana Sovietov. A fourth, the Stallnskaya Kon-stituzia of the same class, was reported, laid down at Nikolaiev, but Jane's said it was definitely destroyed on the stocks.

Jane's said there were varying reports on the Sovietskl Soyuz. One said that the ship, whose hull was laid down in 1939 at Leningrad, was so badly damaged durine the war that construction fhad to be held up and It still was on the stocks. A shortage or material in Russia was said to preclude its early compeletion. Another Jane's report from Sweden said that the Sovietskl Soyuz is ready to be finished at Leningrad "and one, possibly two of these powerful ships is now almost ready for service." First reports said that each of the three new battleships was equipped with nine 16-inch guns in three triple turrets, two forward and one aft The Swedish report said the new ships were equipped with two catapult towers for firing radio-controlled aerial torpedoes. A third report to Jane's said the Sovietskl Soyuz is already in commission as flagship of the fleet commander-in-chief, and carries twelve 17.7-inch guns, with a secondary armament of eight 7 or 8-inch guns.

Displacement was listed as 37,000 tons. Sun-Spun By BOB So "Lasses" White has had his last curtain!

Cotton Council of America Dr. S.

A. Rohwer. assistant chief of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, told a reporter prior to the meeting that there had been "an unusually infestation of the boll weevil in 1949 the heaviest since 1942, and it continued through the season." He attributed this to a relatively mild winter a year ago in the cotton so that unusually large numbers survived hibernation and were ready to get in their dirty work when the season arrived.

Furthermore, he said, the weather of the 1949 cotton season was favorable to the development of weevils, with a lot of rain. In a talk prepared for the conference. Dr. Rohwer added that Battle Against Insects Mapped Bugs Cause $470 Million Loss Bv FRANK CAREY BIRMINGHAM. Dec.
