ately after plans are formulated for
specific school improvements by w.
e. Eccles, state director of school
building services for the Depart
ment of Education, and county
school superintendent and boards
of trustees throughout the state.
"Through the splendid cooperation

man of similar age and experience.
His prompt and successful fight
to prevent the dumping of govern
ment-owned stocks of cotton OF
the market in competition with
farmer-owned crops prevented a
break in the cotton market last
year of $4,000 a bale.
Jim Eastland was credited by
the Press for bringing $4,000
900 to Mississippi last Fall.
His fight to remove the threat
OF a ceiling price of cottonseed was
successful. Cottonseed Immediate
ly rose from thirty to fifty dollars
a ton.
He fought to remove the $500
per thousand price ceiling on pine
timber. Jim Eastland locked horns
with Leon Henderson. The ceiling
went back to the prevailing price
of $1,000 per thousand. Every
saw-mill and timber man in Mis-
sissippi knows that Jim Eastland
got results.
He introduced an amendment
to the revenue bill to impose tariff
duties on cocoanut oil and other
fat which would have guaranteed
$4,000 per ton for cottonseed as
a permanent floor, year in and
year out, and the price of livestock
would never decline below present
value. This amendment lost by
only two votes in the Senate.
The above is a short summary
of the phenomenal record of jim
Eastland during his 8S-days in the
United States Senate. He went to
work-he got results.
Today Jim Eastland asks the
people of Mississippi to elect him
to a full term in the highest legis-
lative body in the Nation. If elect
ed, he promises not to tolerate the
too-little and too-late policies that
have characterized present poll
ticians in Washington.
A brief summary of Jim East
land's platform follows:
He will insist that we, above
everything else, speedily equip
with sufficient weapons our forces
on the land, the sea and in the
air.
He will stand for a continue
alton of the poll tax as being the
surest safeguard of white demo-
cratic supremacy.
he viii not use the power of
the office of United States Senator
to attempt to dictate to the voters
of Mississippi.
He will stand for the right of
labor to protect itself from un-
scrupulous employers and from
the greed of labor racketeers.
He will stand for curbing the
actl"ltles of unnecessary and nom
government b r g
which tend to wreck and ruin the
small business man and place UNI
necessary burdens upon the citi.
xens of this nation.
He will fight for legislation
which will guarantee a confirma-
ton pay for service men for at
least 6-months after their dis
charge 30 that they may find en-
pioyment and resume their places
In our social and economic life
without undue hardship.
He will fight to regain our ex.
port market for cotton by means
OF the Eastland-Bankhead gateway
through the tariff wall.
He stands for equal federal
per capita distribution Of old age
pensions.
HE stands for federal al, for
the public schools Of Mississippi.
with full local control under the
plan sponsored by the late Sena-
tor Pat Harrison.
He stands for a profitable price
for cotton, cottonseed, fats,
dairy and agricultural products
and for livestock. Nothing less
than a fair parity. And a floor
under the price of c~ottonseed.
He stands for an increase In
cotton acreage allotments to elimi-
nate determinations against small
cotton farmers"
