The EISENHOWER Doom mas
collapsed, as we thought it
would, and it now seems a GER
tainty that Truman will be
named the Democratic nominee
for president at the convention
opening Monday at Philadel-
phia. Although we have never
had any great hopes of Eisen-
hover being nominated by the
Democrats, and are constitution
ally opposed to a military man
in the White House, we still
are somewhat disappointed over
his pussy footing on the ques-
ton of his availability. The
English language can be a fair
ly simple medium of express
sion, but despite this the gen.
erals statements continue to
be vague and uncertain, open
to any Interpretation that the
individual reader might care to
lend to them. Many, many
years ago General Sherman,
object OF a similar boom, said
simply 81 will not run If NOM
mated, and I will not serve if
elected" Words equally as
simple and final were available
to Eisenhower, but he chose
instead to issue long and in
volved statements that, when
analysed, said little or moth
ing.
In any event, all this means
that the Mississippi delegation
will undoubtedly walk out of
the Philadelphia convention,
and reconvene with other
Southern delegates in a conven-
ton at Birmingham on July II.
Thus an Intellectual splinter"
party will be born and the cleo
ton of the Dewey-Warren Re-
publican ticket will be as
sured. If the name of the can
didate of the national Demo-
cratic party nominee gets on
the ballot in Mississippi, and we
believe it will, we seriously
doubt if the new states rights
party carries the state. In any
event, we believe that the cleo
ton will be close for, despite
all statements to the contrary,
the people of the state have
never really expressed them
selves on the question. The
highly publicized precinct con-
ventions in May are proof
enough of this fact.
A great deal of money was
spent advertising the precinct
convention and urging the vot-
ers to attend and take part.
The money went into newspa-
per advertisements in every
weekly and daily paper in the
state, radio broadcasts over the
state and travelling emisarries
visiting virtually every county
in the state. Despite this a
total of less than 100 out of
Jockson countys more than
1000 voters attended the con-
ventions in the county's %
precincts. This represents
slightly more than one percent
of the county's voters. No one
showed up at all at several of
the precincts, and in the coun-
tvs largest voting precinct, the
courthouse in Pascagoula, it
was necessary to ask four men
to leave the circuit court, which

In addition to being a world

When Weizmann was in
Washington recently, the de-
partment's protocol division
made every effort to devise a

Howard Medical Dean

PHILADELPHIA, July %. GA
NP)-Dr. Joseph E. thomson,
dean o fthe medical college of
Howard university, who is also a
member Of the platform commit
tee, dashed out at James Loeb, ma
tional executive secretary Of the
Americans for Democratic Action,
for the latter's claim that his or
g%anization won the fight to inject
effective civil rights into the Dem
ocratic platform last week. This
was the first official rift in the
founding convention Of the new
party.
Johnson belittled the getting of
words" into the party platforms
when the Negro hav never seen
the parties in power in the
branches of the government make
a sincere effort to carry them
out" He said that the framework
of the old parties made it impos-
sible TO rthe honest people within
the parties to accomplish any OBJ
j~ective Of protecting the rights of
the Negro.
The issue, Johnson continued,
has been an issue for debate be-
tween the parties and that the
south wants the right to treat the
Negro unjustly SO badly that they
bolted the convention. The price
they demand to keep the Negro
intact is the right to have the
privilege of lynching Negroes, to
gouge out their eyes, to restrain
them in legal serfdom.

The new porter head en-
tered the mploye of the

the Lexington basketball team was

In addition to the National Guard
a number of prisoners at Parchman

A levee is being constructed by
the Engineers just off highway 80
running north to the T~allahatchie

The State Guard has been alerted
also to take over patrol duties if
needed.
Holmes county Guardsmen are not
expected to return until after the
danger of the flood has passed.
