At Ford, a spokesman said the firm was "reviewing" the new steel prices.

About 14 tons of steel goes into the average mid-sized car, and the added cost for raw steel amounts to about $30 a car. "But the auto industry maintains it isn't raw steel prices that determine their ultimate price increase," said Wellford: Court Showed Good Faith federal court ruled no federal constitutional provisions were violated.

Wellford at the same time declined to order the county to pay fees of NAACP attorneys in the legal action. The NAACP was not successful in obtaining judgments against the county court on federal constitutional issues and were not due fees on this basis, the judge said.

He also ruled the NAACP attorneys were not entitled THEC Suggests Budget Hike PITTSBURGH (AP) Consumers may soon feel the effects of follow-the-leader steel price increases announced by U.S. Steel Corp. and two other major firms in the form of higher automobile and appliance price tags. U.S. Steel, the nation's largest steel producer, joined smaller competitors Monday in a 6-per cent price boost for steel used in consumer products.

The firm conceded that without its support, the price hike could not hold. It was the second increase this year on prices for flat-rolled steel. An increase scheduled in October was canceled when steel makers found the market could hot support it. Auto makers at that time raised car prices 6-per cent in anticipation of higher steel costs. Those increases were not rescinded, and the extra $300 on auto price tags remains.

"The steel price hike at this time is particularly unfortunate," a Chrysler spokesman said Monday. "It only adds to the inflationary pressures we are under and UTAA Registration Set This Week By JANICE DOBBINS Sun Gibson County Bureau MARTIN Winter quarter registration at the University of Tennessee here is scheduled Wednesday and Thursday, and university officials hope a new calendar will not result in a lower enrollment. UTM Provost Dr. Jimmy N. Trentham said Tuesday that the winter quarter enrollment is expected to be about the same as last year when 4,797 students signed up for classes.

Of that number, 4,504 were full-time students. The new calendar in use this year could reduce the number of transfer students because the winter quarter will begin before the Christmas break, and most other area institutions will not begin the quarter until January. Trentham acknowledged that the calendar "will have a negative effect on transfer students," but he pointed out that great numbers of students do not change schools during the winter quarter. "We have worked with several (students) from Dyers-burg State (Community College) and Jackson State who will be coming in a few days late," he said. Under the split winter quarter schedule, classes will begin Friday and continue through Dec.

17. Students will have a holiday break and return to classes Jan. 3 with the quarter ending in February. The new calendar represents the second year of experimental schedules at UTM. Last year, the school operated on an interim term schedule under which the fall quarter ended before Thanksgiving.

An interim session of classes was offered during December with the winter quarter beginning in January. Next year, university officials have decided, the conventional calendar used by most community colleges and other universities will be used at UTM. Under that system, fall quarter will begin in mid-September and end before Christmas with the winter session beginning in early January. University officials will also be watching the winter enrollment at off-campus extended service centers, where a drop in students this fall resulted in an overall enrollment decrease of about 112 students at UTM.

Temperatures May Climb Back Slowly After reaching a low of 13 degrees early today, the thermometer is expectedto begin a slow climb toward more normal temperatures through this week, weather forecasters say. The bitter cold snap followed a storm that moved across West Tennessee Sunday, turning roads and streets to ice and extending the Thanksgiving holiday for area school children Monday. Schools resumed classes today throughout the Golden Circle with the exception of those in Chester and Hardeman Counties where a natural gas shortage forced school to close another day. Clear skies Monday and today allowed the sun to melt much of the icy coating from streets and roads although some treacherous spots remained in shady and sheltered places.

There was one area traffic death Sunday night related to the bad weather. Highs in the mid to upper 30s were predicted for Wednesday, with no further precipitation expected in West Tennessee through the weekend, said a spokesman at McKellar Field.

The contract for the concrete bridge deck and for painting of the span wasn't awarded until February 1975, and that final phase cost $5.5 million, Derthick added. United Contractors Inc.

of Des Moines, Iowa, had that contract. Roger Hagg, construction superintendent for United Contractors, said the bridge deck is made of lightweight reinforced concrete. It weighs 3,000 pounds per cubic yard, 1,000 pounds less than standard concrete. Although residents in the areas adjacent to the new span feel it took an increase in Jackson State Community College's budget. Budget increases were recommended for all of the state institutions of higher learning six regional colleges, 10 community colleges and four University of Tennessee campuses.

The commission said its recommended increases were necessary to meet inflated costs at the state institutions and to provide a 7-per cent salary increase. Dr. Wayne Brown, executive director of the commission and a former academic dean at Jackson's Union University, said the THEC budget was based on a projected 4.6-per cent enrollment increase without a fee increase for any institution or program. The THEC will ask the state legislature to earmark an estimated $185.8 million for its operating budget.

Only two lanes of the six miles of the four-lane interstate link from the bridge to Dyersburg is finished now, Derthick said. Motorists coming off the bridge on the Tennessee side will find themselves being routed down a recently-upgraded country road at the end of that six-mile stretch of interstate, he said. The interstate ends at Lennox Road, which has been widened and paved in AP Laser-photo the past few weeks.

It goes southeast about three miles to Big Boy Junction, where it connects with Tenn. 20 five miles west of U.S. 51 Bypass. Tenn. 20 is the route to the Cottonwood Point ferry.

DERTHICK SAID bridges are still being built, and earth still is being moved on the remaining 14-mile stretch of interstate, which will eventually route traffic through to the four-lane bypass about a mile north of its intersection with Tenn. 20. Tennessee and Missouri taxpayers split the cost of the main river span, $22.5 million, and each state paid for its own bridge approach. Tennessee's approach cost $2.25 million for 2,480 feet. Missouri can best be accomplished.

"IN VIEW OF THE fact that the City of Jackson within the near future is likely to annex certain areas within the North Side and South Side school attendance zones, the committee recommends that the present city and county school attendance zones be frozen until such time that it is determined that it is materially affecting the unitary position of either city or county schools.

"I object very strongly to Mr. Esplin talking.

For an interesting outing Wednesday, try taking the ferry across to Cottonwood Point or Ca-ruthersville Wednesday morning, then drive back across the new bridge that afternoon. THE FERRY RIDE takes 15 minutes (after the ferry picks up your car), but it takes less than a minute to cross the same river on $25.8 million worth of bridge. The ferry costs $3 per car, but the bridge is free. Merger in part, charged the committee "to advise the court and the (Madison County Board of Education), as well as the responsible City of Jackson school authorities, as to the advisability of consolidation of the Jackson and Madison County school systems Such a committee would present a written report of its recommendations and proposals concerning consolidation with patricular emphasis of its effect on attainment of a racially unitary school system in all of Madison County, including the City of Jackson." The judge in his August order said he would decline the county school system's suggestion to freeze present city-county school district boundaries "pending a report of the consolidation advisory committee" but did not charge the committee directly with making any recommendations as the to freezing of the district boundaries. The August order which established the consolidation advisory committee was part of a federal court 13-year-old desegregation suit against the Madison County school system.

The interstate link to Dyersburg will cost $34 million, Derthick said. No cost figures have been released on the 10-mile stretch of 1-155 linking the bridge with 1-55 at Hayti, Derthick said. Work began on the bridge piers, made of reinforced concrete, in March 1969.

Massman-Johnson Construction Co. of Kansas City, completed that work in October 1974, Derthick noted. It cost $6.3 million. Bethlehem Steel Corp. of Bethlehem, began the steelwork, which cost $10.7 million, in June 1972, and finished in October 1974, Derthick said.

THE APPROACHES, further recommend that any student living within an area that is annexed in the future be permitted to attend city schools if they so desire." A committee minority report adopted the first paragraph of the majority report but made no mention of the second paragraph, relative to freezing city-county district boundaries at their present locations. The committee reports more's trial in October. Craig Snyder, the other original co-counsel fired by Gilmore, told the board he felt letters, in the possession of the Utah County attorney, from Gilmore to his girlfriend might have a bearing on whether clemency should be granted. Thomas Harrison, a board member, interrupted Harry Baker of the Socialist Workers party, telling him, "This is not the place to philosophize about capital punishment in general." Jackson andor Madison County to voluntarily bring about consolidation would be a deterring factor at this time. In the event that the governing bodies deem it feasible to consolidate the two systems, we recommend that a professional study team with local input, employed by said bodies, study and recommend to the governing bodies how it (merger) Gil more Faces Pardons Board adopted Monday basically were the same stands the committee took at its Oct.

25 meeting. Committee members then said consolidation could produce a more racially unitary system but that consolidation now seems inadvisable because the city and county governing bodies apparently are not interested in such merger. Committee members in one of their earlier deetings during the past three months expressed the opinion they lacked the time, finances, personnel or expertise to advise the court on how and when any consolidation should be undertaken. Such study would require at least a year by a professional organization with the necessary funds, personnel and expertise, the committee said. The committee's minority report was adopted after it was pointed out that the August order by Wellford did not make the committee responsible for meking any recommendations relative to city-county school district boundaries.
