Fighter John Rankin Wins

Hon. John E. Rankin, who has been fighting communists
and subversive unAmerican activities for more years than most
of us have memories, has been returned to Congress for his III
teenth consecutive term.
The voters of Mississippis First Congressional District
showed good sense and a fitting sense of gratitude in returning
MI. Rankin to his place in the American Congress.
America cannot afford to lose the services of Mr.. John,
the man who, more than any other living man, has the lowdown
on those elements who would undermine our government from
within and cause its eventual downfall and with it our way of
life.
John Rankin was fighting communists in Congress before
most of our Southern newspapers knew what the word meant
he has the innate ability, character and fighting spirit to con-
tinue fighting them to his dying day.
He has been the moving spirit in the investigations OF the
Committee on unAmercan Activities. He is now the ranking
minority member on this committee after serving as chairman
for the Democrats.
AS a matter of fact the American people owe a debt of
gratitude to John Rankin for the fact that we have a committee
to investigate unAmerican activities at all, for it was he and he
alone that got congressional approval to create the committee on
a permanent basis. By his skilful and unparalleled ability in par
liamentary maneuvering Rankin succeeded in getting the COM
mittee established on a permanent basis.
If he had never done anything else in Congress except this
he would deserve a high place in the list of servants of the Amer1-
can people.
But in addition Rankin ~co-authored the IVA bill with
the late Sen. Norris, secured more advantages for the nations
veterans than any other congressman, and has a list of accom-
plishments to his credit too lengthy to enumerate here.
He has served his nation well.
We congratulate the people of the First Congressional Dis
trict in having a man like Mr.. Rankin to serve them and congra-
tulate him on his splendid first primary victory over two oppo-
nents.
Recent developments on the Washington scene have given the
American people a tremendous shock in revealing to just what
extent communists have lnfItrated our government during the
past fifteen years.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
We shall feel a lot safer with John Rankin in Washington
looking after the interests of the American people.

Crop Loss Adjustments
Meeting Held Thursday

Ray Johnson and Floyd Wilker-
son of Lexington, who handle loss
adjustments for the Federal Crop
Insurance corporation in Holmes
county, attended a meeting of
F.C.I.C. officials, Thursday at the
City hall. Adjusters at the meeting
agreed that the most difficult cases
are those which involve loss due
entirely or in part to causes not in
sured against.
The F.D.I.C. policy insures crop
investment against loss from un-
avoidable causes such as insects,
weather, and plant diseases, but not
against failure to follow good farm
ing methods.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that attempts are made by the cor
poration to pay indemnities in strict
compliance with the terms of the
policy, in order to protect all con-
cerned. Overpayments on an indem-
nifty beyond what the producer is
entitled to receive comes out of the
pockets of the other insured farmers
in the county, Mr.. Johnson said.
