Purpose of this resolution, T.
j. Tubb, West Point, chairman of
the convention resolution COM
mittee, told the assembly, is to
make it legally impossible for
anyone else to try to become the
Democratic party in Mississippi
between now and the national
convention"
He inferred that some factions
of Democrats in the state, dissat-
isfied with the states rights pro-
gram may attempt to send "loy-
all delegates to the national con-
vention.
J. Knox Huff of Forest was
chosen chairman of the state
Democratic executive committee,
succeeding Judge Herbert
Holmes. Holmes did not seek re-
election to the committee. He
completed Is years of service with
the group, Is years of which he
served as chairman. .
T. ]. Tubb of West Point was
chosen vice-chairman of the state
executive committee. w. H. An
derson of Ripley was reelected

War Record of Stassen

better jobs-are being recruit
ed for combat service in Pales-
tine.
The United States says that
citizens who 60 abroad to fight
for a foreign force abandon all
right of protection by American
law and force.
However, the government
looked the other way" in the
case of citizens fighting in the
early days of the Sino-Jap war
and the Spanish civil war.
The Flying Tigers who helped
China hold off the Japs in
1940-42. were largely military
aviators on inactive duty, and
some had to be placed on in
active duty before they could
go abroad.
Spanish Loyalist flyers we're
recruited more openly. One ia
nous American aviator signed
up recruits daily in a fashion
able New York hotel.
Recruiting by the Israel forces
has not reached such an open
stage. but a competent pilot who
wants to fly for the Jewish
forces does not have to look far
for a job.

Inside Washington
Defense Secretary Post
Possibility for sfassen
Special to Central Press

Special to Central Press
Washington. - Political ex-
perts agree that Harold E. Stas-
sens defeat by Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey in the Oregon COP pri-
mary has all but eliminated
him as a possibility for the Re-
publican presidential nominal
ton.
They make their statement
while bearing in mind that
Stassen still is claiming more
than 300 first ballot delegates.
They say Stassen also has al
most no chance at all to be vice
presidential choice. and that the
best the ex.Minnesota governor
now can hope for is a cabinet
post in a Republican admins
tration.
That post, the experts say,
might be secretary of defense.
The tender of the highly-im-
portant post to Stassen by a Re-
publican president would be
made to satisfy thousands of
Stassen followers who have
backed the campaign which
made him one of the three top
COP presidential contenders in
the pre-comention stretch.
Political though the offer
might be, it would place in
the office now held by capable
James Forrestal, a man with
ample military background and
knowledge.
Stassen served with ability
and distinction in the navy in
World War II on the staff of
Adm. William F. (Bull) Halsey.
One-Term Vandenberg?
Experienced Capital Hill po-
liticos discount reports that if
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg
(R), Michigan, were rendered
the COP presidential nomina-
ton and accepted he would
stipulate that he would serve
for only one term.
They point out that it would
be folly for any president to
announce such a decision, and
say that he would lost the reins
of his party.
For this and many other rea-
sons. observers say, Vanden-
berg, like any other candidate,
would keep his future political
plans to himself.

Inc STATES rlB1tS
leaders, who took complete and
undisputed control of the state
Democratic convention this
week at Jackson, continue to
contribute their share to a Re-
publican victory in November,
and thereby contradict and set
aside the very principles on
which the movement is osten-
sibly based, which Is the prin-
ciple of self determination of
the individual states, and the
right of the Southern states to
decide for themselves the ques-
ton of poll tax payments,
lynching laws, segregation and
the FEPC, which means the
right of the Negro and other
minority groups to equal job
and employment opportunity.
The original break came
many months ago over the So
called civil rights program of
President Truman, which would
accomplish the above by fed
eral legislation, and set aside
the right of the individual
states to decide these issues for
themselves. President Truman,
of course, has had his foot in
his mouth ever since he has
been in the White House. Some
of his statements, to say the
least, have been startling, and
his tendency to contradict next
week what he says today is
certainly discouraging. His
record as president has been,
to our mind, pretty sad. We
don't see how much more could
have been expected. He be-
came vice-president through
happenstance, and through a
compromise to block Henry
Wallace. His political back
grounds that of the Pendergast
machine, a proven gang of cor
rupt and venal politicians.
Granting the truth of all this,
however, we still should stop
and take a look in the light of
reason and facts to just where
the present movement is lead
ing us, and what impact it
will have during the coming
years on Mississippi and other
Southern states.
M~ississippi's delegates to the
national convention at Phil
adelphia next month are so in
structed that there is some
doubt as to their being seated.
If they are seated, then they
can only adopt the role of pas
sive spectators, as, according
to resolutions adopted at the
state convention Tuesday, they
cannot bind the Democratic
party of Mississippi. This, OBJ
viously, is a deliberate move to
add weight to the trump" con-
vention set for Birmingham a
few days later at which a
candidate for president and
vice-president will be select
ed to become the nominee of
the Southern Democrats. Thus
another splinter party will
be born and. by withdrawing
the Southern states from the
National Democratic party, the
election of a Republican regime
will be virtually assured.
Even Jim Eastland has aban-
doned his pipe dream of throw
ing the election into the House
of Representatives where, he
said many months ago, we
would elect a Southerner pres
ident. The scheme was so fam
tastic it was childish.
In any event. we are well on
our way to assuring the cleo
ton of a Republican president,
which at this point it seems
would be Tom Dewey. BY con-
tributing to the election of a
Republican regime what will
Mississippi and the South gain?
The answer to that is obvious.
What delegation was seated at
the Republican convention this
week? Was it the lily white"

Peace Fiasco

Diplomatic observers believe
that the United States-Russian
"peace talk fiasco has further
widened the breach between
the two countries.
On the United States side,
both the State department and
the White House are complete
ly convinced the Russian "ac-
ceptanee" Of a conference was
not asked for, and the method
of making the acceptance pub
lie was no more thar a tongue
in-check propaganda maneuver.
AS a result, Moscow'S moves
will be viewed with even more
suspicion in the future. On the
other side, the Soviets now
have ample ammunition for
their argument that the Unit
ed States is more concerned
with imperialism" than peace.

Handbags

BY ELEM SAKES
Fashion Editor

DONT UNDERRATE the importance
~ of your handbag. A wisely chosen
one can add greatly to the attractiveness
of your costume; hasty, thoughtless
choice can mar the most pleasing en-
semble
The modern woman prefers hand
bag that is both roomy and graceful
one she can carry all day long If neces-
sary. In short, one that is practical as
we'll as attractive.
Koret has designed family" of four
handbags, all featuring reversible covers.
You may pick from alligator, calf, faille.
satin and nonsmudge suede. Thus, one
purse and selection of covers-the lat
ter bought separately ii you preter-will
give you complete handbag wardrobe.
The new handbags are roomy without
being clumsy. Fabrics and feathers are
of improved quality. and new colors are
available. Greens, wines and navy are
proving most popular.
Many of the new handbags have been
created especially to complement dress
and suit designs. And for evening wear
the ornately beaded bag is having a
revival.
