"I'm glad that today we take this out of the newspapers and put it in the courtrooms where it Hall said Thursday. Hours earlier, Hall and two Texans were indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly attempting to bribe Secretary of State John Rogers to influence investment of $10 million in state pension funds.

Michigan Ave. Phone 684-4151 Phone 684-2521 "Your One-Stop Furniture Building Supply Center" Thad Simmons, General Manager EQUAL OPPORTUNITY BUILDERS Ousting of Simon Urged WASHINGTON (AP) President Ford is being urged by some White House advisers to replace William E. Simon as treasury secretary as part of a slowly developing major Cabinet shakeup.

well sources say. President made no overt move to oust Simon but is willing to discuss with his advisers the possibility of a change in the key post, according to one source. This moves Simon into the "questionmark" category, said one official familiar with the President's thinking as well as the views of Ford advisers who have advocated a more rapid reduction in the ranks of Nixon holdovers. Simon earlier supported federal budget and other anti inflation policies which Ford now has discarded to fight the recession. This official also said Labor Secretary Peter J.

Brennan and Commerce Secretary Frederick B. Dent probably will be leaving the Cabinetwithin three months. Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz and Caspar W. Weinberger, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, were ranked by several sources as likely to be leaving by mid-year.

Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger and Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton were described by one White House official as secure in their jobs.

In recent weeks, the White House has announced the departures of three Teachers Will Discuss Legislation The Mississippi Education Association and" the Mississippi Teachers Association will have a joint meeting at 7 p.m. Monday in the Magnolia Elementary School, according to David Feldman. Legislative proposals will be discussed and there will be a question and answer period. Featured on the program will be legislative representative Barbara Loper, District Five MEA representative John Ashley, and a representative from the MEA. All educators in Pike, Walthall and Amite counties are invited Nixon Cabinet holdovers.

Atty. Gen. William B. Saxbe is becoming ambassador to India, Transportation Secretary Claude Brinegar is to private life, and Housing returning, James T. Lynn is becoming director of the Office of Management and Budget a Cabinet-level post.

Simon scoffed Thursday at reports he was being eased out. "If I'm on my way out I've not been told that yet, nor have I submitted my resignation," he told a news conference. But Simon signaled some philosophical estrangement from Ford's approach to the nation's economic problems. Ford's program anticipates a $45-billion federal budget deficit in the next fiscal year, and Simon said while such a plunge into red ink may be necessary, "it horrifies me." The former Wall Street executive is known to advocate reductions in federal spending to avoid deficit financing. But he lost out in the debate that preceded announcement of Ford's economic program.

While formulation of that program was under way, sources said Ford spurned suggestions that he consider replacing Simon, whose abrasive style White is reported to have grated on some House advisers.

Without a word he went to work cutting that pine tree and pulling it out of the way soon Judy could walk out the door and see the world.
