Students Take
Over PoscogouIo
On Youth Day

Twelve students from the Pas
cagoula high school literally took
over Pascagoula on Wednesday
when they filled city and school
offices for which they were ell
ected by their fellow students
for annual Youth Day.
Those serving on Wednesday
were Levon Ezell, mayor: Ar
thur Bogdahn, commissioner of
public works, for the second year;
Spurgeon Laschaussee, chief of
police; Robert Stine, commission
er of finance; Robert Haier, fire
chief; Wallace Whatley, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce;
Helen WOODS, superintendent of
county schools: Wade Hilliard,
superintendent of city schools;
James Shumaker. principal of
the high school; Kityy Harris, as
sistant principal; Harold Ter
reson, director of vocational
training; and Laurie Palmer, Wis
iting teacher.
Numerous other student teach
ers were appointed by the fac
ulty and conducted classes all
day Wednesday. The classes
were carried on in a very orderly
manner and an outsider would
not have known that students
were running the classes on that
day, had they not been SO in
formed.
The basic idea of Youth Day,
which has been carried out for
four years, is citizenship train
ing for the students, to aequaint
them with how the actual o.
ficials operate.
Lunch Guests
James Shumaker and Kitty
Harris took over the senior high
school on Wednesday, conducted
the high school; Kitty Harris, as

they were guests of the Rotary
Club for dinner at the Country
club.

Somebody Is Lying

Somebody has been lying at the hearings
before the House Committee on Un-
American Activities. The lying has been
done under oath. That means that some
body has committed perjury-an lndlct-
able offense under both the Federal and
District statutes The perjury has been
committed in an investigation Of the ut
most Importance to the country, an effort
by Congress to find the facts regarding
the operations of an alleged wartime
Communist spy ring in Washington AS
Donald Hiss, one of the witnesses put it
yesterday: IF am lying, I should go to
Jail. If Mr.. Chambers is lying, he should
60 to Jail"
1t is necessary and proper, therefore,
that United States Attorney Fay should
cooperate with the House committee in
seeking to uncover the truth of the charges
and denials which have made such SEN
sational reading in the past few days. The
committee has heard Miss Elizabeth Bent
ley elf-confesSed former Russian agent,
swear that Duncan Lee, while serving as
an Army officer for the Office of Strategic
Services, gave her confidential informa-
ton with full knowledge that it was to be
transmitted to Communists. 1t has heard
Mr. Lee fatty and unequivocally deny that
grave accusation. The committee has
heard Whitaker Chambers, avowed for
mer Communist agent, testify that Alger
Hiss, former State Department official;
his brother Donald and former Assistant
Treasury Secretary Harry Dexter White
were members of a Red underground
organization during the war. All have
entered the strongest kind OF denials.
1t has heard Lauchlin Currie deny that
he co-operated with Soviet spies. These
are striking examples of a series OF con-
ficting statements made under oath to
the committee by various witnesses.
Representative Hebert, member of the
committee, succinctly described the situa-
ton when he commented that the record
is filled with perjured testimony" 1t is
important to those accused in these open
hearings and it is important to the Nation
that the truth be known. The perjurers
must be separated from the truthful before
the testimony can be evaluated intelli-
gently. 1t may not be an easy task to
get at the truth, but the spy case is OF
such grave import that no effort should
be spared by the committee and by the
Department of Justice to find out who is
lying. Once found, the offenders should
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
perjury laws. Mr.. Fay's move to examine
the records is an appropriate preliminary
step toward this end.

Americas Olympic Triumph

Americans have reason to be proud Of
their representatives at the Fourteenth
Olympiad, which comes to close today
at Wembley, England. The athletes from
the United States have covered themselves
with glory and medals. Best of all, they
have demonstrated throughout type Of
good sportsmanship that won them the
plaudits of spectators, officials and writers.
1t is fortunate that the only major
dispute involving an American team was
resolved In spirit of mutual good will
before the games ended. The dispute
arose when the American runners in the
400-meter relay last week, after coming in
first, were disqualified in favor of the
second-place British team. There was
some criticism of the Americans at first
for appealing the disqualification, especially
in view of the fact that this was the first
race in which Britain had been declared
the winner. But the British officials up
held the American protest after viewing
movies of the race, and the British public
accepted the reversal graciously. The
Britons later had some sweetening for
their bitter teas one writer aptly put
it-when their 400-meter team succeeded
in beating the same American sprinters
in another race
The remarkable American showing was
made despite the absence of injured Gil
Dodds and several other stars. But Pat
ton, Ewell, billiard, Wright and the others
gave America decided edge in the track
events. Particularly noteworthy was the

he said.
He did more than talk about doing it, how
ever He actually tried to do it.
Keeping pigeons away is not part-time loo.
Those hungry, persistent creatures come back
again and again.
They seem to be able to perch for hours, or
even days, in hope of getting food.
'eWhy don't they 60 some place else?" asked
Templeton Jones "All the time they spend
perched on a house. they might be of some

why" asked Mrs. Jones, with exemplary
logic, should they 60 elsewhere, when they
can see plenty to eat down there at the
feeding station?"
The logic of that was unanswerable.

answered Jones, but those pigeons"
How are you going to keep them away?'

alight."

"You will have to do it," smiled Jones.

What shall I do to make them fly away?
They are very stubborn"
Jones considered.
"Oh, wave something at them

"Kitchen stool, or maybe the s1nk?"

"Just keep at them, every time you see them,
and they may go away
When Templeton Jones returned IN the
evening the first thing he asked about was
the pigeons.
Did they perch on the roof much?" he
asked. peering out the dining room windows.
Before he could get a reply, he spoke him
self
There they are!" he called. Right on our
nice new roof"
"I tried everything, they won't stay saway
Maybe we had better give up feeding the birds
for a time. Or move the station to some
other part of the yard"
Jones snorted
Let those big buns force us to do something
we don't want to do? Not on their lives"

There on the new roof, spread out on the

Like bathers on q beach, the little brown and

baths.

Leaders Change in Canada

major event in Canada's political life
has Just taken place. This is the retire
ment of Mackenzie King, veteran leader
of the dominant Liberal Party, from the
premiership and the party helm. In con-
sequence of his determination to step
down from office, the Liberals met in
special convention to choose Kings sue
cessor. The choice fell upon Louis S. St.
Laurent member of the present King
cabinet, though relative newcomer In
national politics. The significance of this
choice can best be evaluated by glance
at Canadian political realities.
The basic fact in Canadas national life
Is that though the Dominion bulks larger
on the map than the United States, hab-
liable Canada is a narrow strip of territory
running from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Just north of the border. That band
traverses regions of the most diverse char
acter, which means sharp regional differ
ences reflected in Canadian politics. The
other major factor is the contrast between
the large French-speaking minority con-
centrated in the Province of Quebec and
the English-speaking majority in the re-
mainder of the country. This distinction
In language and blood is accentuated by
religion, the French being all ardent
Roman Catholics, whereas most of the
English-speaking element are staunch
Protestants.
The Liberal Party has consistently
stressed Anglo-French cooperation and
has relied largely upon French Canadian
votes Mr.. st. Laurent will be the second
Liberal Premier of French extraction, his
predecessor in this respect being the dis
tinguished Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The choice
of ST. Laurent for the premiership was
undoubtedly due in large part to the need
for keeping the Liberal hold on Quebec
Province. There, regional movement has
arisen in recent years, strongly national
istic in character and known as FUnlon
Rationale In the recent provincial elec-
tions, this party gained decisive victory
over the Liberals which threatens to be
reflected in the national Parliament. While
the leadership of St. Laurent may keep
Quebec in line, it may weaken the Liberals
in the western provinces, where the choice
of a French Roman Catholic with con-
servative and capitalistic aff1liations may
not sit we'll with the voters The Canadian
prairie regions are not only predominantly
English speaking and Protestant, but are
also affected by an agrarian radicalism
which has resulted in strong regional po-
litical movements already reflected in the
Parliament at Ottawa. In addition the
main political opposition the Conservative
Party, is dolHg its best to stage a come

athletes, who accounted for q large num-
Der of points.
Conspicuously absent from this first
Olympiad in twelve years were Russian
contestants. This is pity, for the historic
purpose of these ancient games is to pro-
mote better understanding through health
full and constructive competition. In the
old Grecian games nations even suspended
wars in order to compete. Today the
games are suspended while wars are
fought Once resumed, however, every
country would benefit by permitting it's
athletes to compete. A nation which bars
such competition deprives its people of an
excellent opportunity to know and under
stand other peoples better-and to be
better known and understood by others.
