Hotel Plans Advancing

We were glad to learn this week of the con-
siderable progress which has been made towards
the realization of a modern hotel for Pascagoula.
The plans have not been completed, but the civic
leaders and Chamber of Commerce committee
who have been working steadily but quietly on
the project report that it has now begun to shape
up and plans are beginning to take concrete form.
An 80-room hotel is proposed, to be backed by both
local and out-of-town investments. A planning
expert is due here next week to survey the Pas
cagoula area end select a proposed location for
the new building.
Such 2 building has long been needed in
Paseagoula, and the need increases daily because
of increased travel, both tourist and commercial.
II is almost impossible to find overnight accom-
modations for travellers and consequently most
persons who have a knowledge of this area plan
their business in Pascagoula and continue on to
Mobile or the lower Coast fer the night. Pasca-
goula is very likely the only community of its
size in the state without & modern hotel, and it
is time we stepped out from under this very
doubtful distinction.

that for all the progress which

Then looking toward the flu

now, when the theoretical phase
of the atomic age will be chang

our own days of bus riding, high
ways, cotton planting, railroads
and even air-liners will seem as
backward and medieval to the
young people Of that day as the
masses of Asia and other back

hard for the contemporary mind
to realize that the atomic prin-

One night, during the past week
end, when we went visiting, we
had occasion to be riding a bus
across the moonlit cotton fields of
the Mississippi delta countryside
around Clarksdale. The three
quarter moon had risen early, and
the big bus went humming along
the ribbon of concrete with the
smooth sensation of flying. The
delta, with its astounding fer
tility, was once covered by a
swampy wilderness more impene-
trable than most of the lungles of
the tropics. Historians for instance
are certain that DeSoto could
never have traversed it unless he
had followed an Indian path that
had been cut through little by
little by generations of redmen
who had come before HIM The
Indians for their part merely fol-
lowed and widened out animal
trails.
But now the delta IS cleared
except along the occasional river
bottoms, and the tall bursting cot
ton rows stretch away from the
roads as far As the eye "a see.

from the Mississippi river and

rises sharply to a ridge of hills
which ages ago marked the shore
of a tremendous lake. The delta
land was the lake bottom and for
countless years was fortified by
the silt and animal life that sifted
down through the water. Later
the overflows of the river added
an annual deposit OF rich soil
drained from half the continent.
We We're once told by a man who
should know that in some parts
of the delta the loan is over a
thousand feet deep. That is quite
a layer of topsoil.
Sitting in the front seat, gazing
down the moonlit highway
through the shiny windshield of
the speeding bus, the scene re-
minded US a little of those sleek,
stream-lined advertisements of
the transportation companies in
the big magazines. There was
comfort. speed and beauty in the
trip. In three hours we crossed
a part of Mississippi which had
scarcely been cut by wagon trails
q century ago, and which not so
long ago was the domain of the
deer and bear and owls. In that
brief period we travelled over

why DR.. Carlos Martins, Brazilian

will return to Washington in de-

just behind him-having been at
Washington next longest. Behind
Martins ran Juan Francisco Car

personally wellesteemed but the
envoy of Franco, whom the Unit
ed States doesn't like and whom
Moscow detests.
The diplomatic corps got to-
gether and quietly pointed this
out to Rio de Janiero. They
noted the social and, POSSIBLY,
political complications of having
the envoy of an unpopular state
at their head. Martins is return
