Last week, Clements, who Is a Republican and is running for re-election, said the Reagan administration's energy policies were "in limbo." The governors will consider a number of resolutions during the session at this posh resort island. They already have proposed 16 non-binding measures on the insanity defense, drunken driving, high-level nuclear waste management, and the federal role in crime control, to name a few subjects. The $80,000 tab for the conference is being picked up by corporations or business groups, including utilities, textile companies, banks, oil companies and national retailers. The governors of 10 states and Puerto Rico are on hand for the meeting, which ends Wednesday.
The other governors attending the conference are: Bob Graham of Florida, Christopher S. Bond of Missouri, George Nigh of Oklahoma, Carlos Romero-Barcelo of Puerto Rico, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Charles S. Robb of Virginia, and William Winter of Mississippi. Gov. John Y.
Brown of Kentucky is expected to arrive Tuesday. HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) Louisiana Gov. David C. Treen repeated his call for swift natural gas price deregualtion this morning, saying the gas-producing states are facing shortages.
"We ought to move as promptly as possible to full decontrol of the price of natural gas," the Republican governor told fellow members of the Southern Governors Association meeting on the posh resort island this week. Treen was speaking during a joint meeting of the association and the Southern States Energy Board. He said the uncertainty in the natural gas market was partly due to not knowing what Congress would do. Treen got a laugh when he said congressmen "have as many ideas as there are members of Congress." Treen called for a unified front by Southern governors. The governors took on energy issues, including the management of nuclear waste and the future of coal, this morning.
The afternoon session was slated for education topics, among them a "report card" on Southern states' progress toward educational quality. Texas Gov. Bill Clements has said he will unveil a national energy South Carolina Gov. Dick Riley, left, chairman of the Southern Governor's Association and Texas Gov. William P.

The Israeli jets made their divebombing run over west Beirut this afternoon, pounding the same targets hit in the previous four days' bombing around the PLO's headquarters. The planes foiled the PLO's anti-aircraft missiles by releasing decoy balloons.
There was no immediate count of casualties. Israeli Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir called the document Arafat signed Sunday accepting "all U.N. resolutions relevant to the Palestinians" an "exercise in fraud and deception." Tractor trailer turns over A northbound tractor trailer carrying ceiling tile fell sideways on the road shoulder three miles south of Robinsonville on U.S. Highway 61 Friday. The driver of the Moon Freight Line, based in Indiana, only required stitches in his foot due to the accident, which happened at about 6:30 p.m.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol trooper at the scene north of Tunica, said that the load in the the trailer shifted when the driver was paying attention to an object in his rear view mirror, tilting the truck enough to toss it on its side. State employees get small increase JACKSON (AP) Treasurer Bill Cole said state employees will get a small increase in take-home pay in their July 31 checks because of changes in the tax status of contributions to the state retirement program. Cole said that coupled with the federal income tax cut that went into effect July 1, a person making $1,000 a month with one deduction would get $32.60 more in his monthly check. He said the tax cut would produce $16.60 a month more to the employee, while changes in state law deferring taxes on retirement contributions until retirement would mean another $16. Until now, state employees have been paying income taxes on their retirement fund contributions.
The change defers the taxes on this money until it is withdrawn, and the employee is in a lower tax bracket. New hours for center The Aaron E.

Classes begin at Academy JACKSON (AP) Classes began at the Jackson Police Training Academy for law enforcement officers of four state agencies. The five-week program is the first full-scale class at the academy since 1980, because the city has been unable to afford the cost of training a recruit class. Although the state standard calls for an eight-week course, officials said the agencies will provide the other three weeks of training for the officers.
State attendance record set BILOXI (AP) An indoor attendance record for the state was set Saturday night when 15,200 cheering fans greeted the rock group Van Halen at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. The number of people broke the old record of 15,092 who saw the rock band Journey perform at the coliseum in 1980, said the facility's assistant director, Bill Holmes. Paroled convict recaptured BELLE FOUNTAIN (AP) A paroled convict has been recaptured after a manhunt that involved almost 200 men. Robert Macon, 41, of Collins, who had been on parole for for a manslaughter and kidnapping conviction, was arrested near here Saturday in a manhunt touched off when his wife reported that he had kidnapped her at knifepoint. Macon was returned to the state penitentiary at Parchman to await new kidnapping and aggravated assault charges, said Highway Patrol public information officer Pete Collins.
Macon eluded law enforcement officers Wednesday night about 9 p.m. in Montgomery County after his wife Sheila reported that she has been abducted. Collins said Macon allegedly forced his wife to leave their home on Wednesday to drive to Montgomery County, where his family lives, and the couple was checked at a routine roadblock without incident. However, he said, when they stopped for gas just beyond the roadblock, Mrs. Macon escaped and ran back to tell troopers and the manhunt started.
The capture took place about five miles north of Belle Fountain on a rural road in Webster County. Macon gave up without resistance after being spotted near a farmhouse by state trooper John Crosby. tions Committee. By way of reassuring the farmers of the district, Clark says that if he is elected he will have on his staff a Mississippi-educated agricultural expert who knows the problems of farmers and who can advise him and be at the disposal of his constituents in working for stronger and better farm programs. Clark is also an advocate of a strong health program.
A nation as rich as ours, he feels, can afford good health and hospital care for its citizens. The candidate is a widower with two children. He is a Baptist, an ordained Baptist minister and a member of many civic, social and professional organizations. He is a fellow of the Institute of Politics, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, and he is a member of the Children's Center Board in his home town.
He serves on the Policy and Steering Committee of the Education Commission of the States and also on the executive committee of the National Conference of State Legislators. After many years in public life, Clark has received numerous honors from various groups. Chief among these are an honorary doctor's degree awarded by Mary Holmes College, a second honorary doctor's degree awarded by Prentiss Institute, Alumnus of the Year honors accorded by Jackson State University, Sports Hall of Fame recognition by Jackson State University and Outstanding Legislator of the Year honors. Continued from Page One cuts in the social programs have been to some extent a smoke screen." He then adds, "I'm for a strong defense program, but without graft and waste. Taking benefits from the needy and giving the money to people to waste in the name of defense is wrong." Clark tells of an elderly citizen who appeared before the Mississippi Public Service Commission recently to complain of a hard choice she had to make.
The candidate said the woman couldn't afford phone, lights and heating, so she gave up her lights. "People like this elderly lady have worked too hard and too long only to have to go back to kerosene lamps and pine knots in their old age," he declares. If he goes to Congress, Clark says, he will also be a champion of a strong public education system. Appropriations for education have been cut 25 percent by the present administration, says Clark, and he feels that is too much. "For our society to survive, we have got to have a good public education system-and the way we're going, it's going to be made as weak as water." As a teacher and school administrator and chairman of the House Education Committee, Clark feels he has a good background in the field of public education and could make a postive contribution in this area.
The candidate also is secretary of the House Rules Committee and a member of the House Appropria- Gandhi visits U.S. NEW DELHI, India (AP) Indira Gandhi leaves the difficult problems of governing the world's biggest democracy Tuesday to try to improve relations with the world's most powerful democracy, the United States. The 64-year-old woman who has been India's prime minister for 13 of the last 16 years will visit New York, Washington, Los Angeles and Honolulu on her first official American visit since 1971. Much of her mission is consciousness-raising with President Reagan and his administration, members of Congress, the news media and the American public. Both Indian and American officials admit concrete agreements may not emerge from the visit.
But they expect a better atmosphere, or as U.S. Ambassador Harry G. Barnes Jr. put it, identification of "common values and common in- terests" so as "to understand better those issues where we differ and why." Testimony to begin in murder trial A Staff Report Testimony began this afternoon in Circuit Court in the murder trial of Carrie Mae Shedwick, charged in the stabbing death of a Friars Point man, after a morning-long jury selection process. Miss Shedwick allegedly stabbed Timothy Dukes, 23, in the ribs and shoulder with a butcher knife during a quarrel on March 14.
The stabbing occurred at the home of a friend in Friars Point. District Attorney Sam Knowlton was expected to call the first of four prosecution witnesses from a pool of 20 witnesses sworn this morning to testify in the case.
