FOR MEMPHIS
MY father
J. A. HIBBLER

1t is time to say something
about Menippus. No doubt every
one is asking, ''Who was Men
ippus?"
Very little there is in books
about him, and what is known
of him came through Varro, Ro-
man man Of letters under julius
Caesar. This may be stated brief
ly as follows:
Menippus was a Greek clave,
a Cynic, who lived around 25O
Be. He was famous for his dis
courses, a mixture of prose and
poetry, all of which were lost.
Next one may ask why should
anyone say that Menippus was
her father. The answer to that
may be For Menippus My Faith
er" is a melliflous (mellow flow
ing) phrase for the title of a
book which proposes to set forth
what its writer learned in uni.
versity study of John Dryden's
satires, said by their author to
be like what Varro called his
Menippean satires.
News interest in John Dryden
(Varro and Menippus) may be set
up from the fact that the last
winner of the Nobel Prize for
Poetry (1948), DIR. T. S. Eliot, is
a Dryden scholar. ct was DR..
T. S. EliOt's opinion on Dryden,
published 1882 in honor of the
tercentenary of Dryden's birth,
that influenced the outcome of
this writer's study on Dryden re-
sultlng for her in what she be-
lieves is the secret now sought
by the universities of the coun-
try as the secret of the Renaiss-
ance poets, lost in the 18th CEN

social sciences.
POEM
For Dear Ones Recently Bereaved
The earth shall be full Of the praise
of the Lord.
Tears must embroider the songs
That thrill in the morning.
That thrill through the day
Up to the Heavenly Throne.
Without tears this earth a desert
would be,
And joy would wither away;
So with tears, dear hearts,
He waters our days,
Sends grief for a death
That will bring tears always.

Sheriff Four
Others Indicated
In Georgia
FIoggings

Trenton, Ga. May 17-Five per-
sons, including sheriff J. w. Lynch
of Dade county, three of his dep
uties and a private citizen, were
indicted in Trenton, Tuesday on
assault charges.
The charges grew out of the
alleged flogging of seven Negroes
bv members Of a hooded and mask
ed group, believed to be members
of the Ku Klux Khan.
TIL Deade county grand jury
heard testimony Of the seven Neg
roes, from Chattanooga, Tenn,
who claimed they were seized from
sheriff Lynch after he had ares
ted them for ''wild parties.
The Negoes were escorted to
Tenton Tuesday by the Georgia
Highway Patrol.
Deputies indicted with sheriff
Lynch were: w. M. maritime, N.
Stoles and John Bleckleu.
Robert Keener, private cit
izen, was also indicted.
After being seized from the sher-
if, the Negroes claimed they were
taken to a nearby patch of woods
and beaten.
Bond was set in each case at
$1,000.
Judge John E. Paschall, who
called the grand jury into spec
iaI session asked that steps be
taken that the Negroes would be
protected.
A group of about 100 spectators
: looked on curiously as Negroes
were escorted into the courtroom
to await their turns to testify.
The flogging took place on the
night of April 2. Sheriff j. w
Lynch had arrested the seven Neg
roes at house where hesaid "wil(
parties" had been reported.
He said group of about a
masked and robed men appeared
before the house and demanded
the surrender of the Negoes. H
identified the men as Klansmer
The victims said later they were
loaded into station wagon ant
driven to a wooded spot, flogget
and told to "clear OUT.
Col. Gen. Warren Aiken, of tn,
Cherokee Circuit said persons
have been subpoenaed to appea
before the jury.
Aiken said the Federal Bureau
of investigation has been invest
igating the floggings but added
that agents of the b are mo-
| permitted to testify at Grand Jury
hearings in state courts.
Public opinion was riveted upor
the case several days after the
flogging when Georgia jurist
Judge j.. M. c.. RED" Townsend

adaisical attitude in yielding to
the mob. He spoke before the Rot
airy Club of Chattanooga. Following

visiting professor at the London
School Of Economics, lecturing on
American Government and po-

The 58-year-old economist.
whose career as q Government
planner was constantly stormy,

He came here on invitation Of
the London school, settling him.

that his presence passed almost
unnoticed. His two sons are en-

Plans to Stay . Year.
h Mr.. Tugwell said he expects to
teach 4 year in London. then re-
turn next spring to his regular
position as professor Of political
science at the University OF Chi

It was Mr.. Tugwell, sometimes
called the most dapper Of Roose-
velt's top advisors. whose liberal"
ideas went into many projects Of
the New Deal.
As Assistant Secretary Of Agri-
culture, he was credited with de-
veloping the farm parity price
formula which became the key to
Roosevelt's famous triple A" ag-
ricultural program in the United
States. Many of his plans still
are In effect in the American
Governments program Of sup
porting farm prices.
Denies Being Z Radical.
MIR. Tugwell's last brain trust

as stormy as it had been in Wash

The logical deductions from Mr.. Clark's

significant. The vast Soviet empire, to
expand further or even to endure, must
rest on economic foundations commen-
surate with its ability to fulfill its COM

generally accepted that, in modern "all-

superior economic productivity and eff1ci-
ency, unless 1t should be knocked out by

siflcation of news articles: Strikes. 2: poll
tics. 8: deaths, q; foreign news, 4; health, i:
arrests, /; weather, l.; stock market. l.
I would like to offer you suggestion: I
would like to see some of these articles rele-
gated to an inside page. For instance, the
two deaths mentioned could have been in
some other part of the paper. One Of them
was suicide and the other was an accidental
death.
For my cents worth, would like to see
something like this appear on the front page
Of your paper: A testimonial Of boy or
girl who was sent to camp for two weeks,
telling us what he or she liked or didn't like
about camp. would also like to see more Of
compatibility in American home life instead
Of incompatibility in divorce cases. con-

World Economic Efficiency

In the troubled economic life OF our
contemporary world nothing is more I'M
portant than the productive status and
capacity Of its various national units.
Accurate knowledge Of these factors Is
required, not only to evolve constructive
economic policies but also to evaluate the
bearing of economic conditions upon
diplomacy and military strategy.
Such . study has just been made by
Colin Clark, the distinguished Australian
government economist Mr.. Clark has
completed estimates Of the levels OF eco
nomic development reached by forty
countries from the years 1900 to 1s47.
He holds that economic progress Is
measurable by countrys output of goods
and services, considered not in terms OF
money, but in relation to the working
time expended by rs labor force. He thus
measures their productivity by their real
income per man-hours worked. To make
comparisons possible he reduced these real
incomes to common base which he terms
international units" or II. u"
Measured by this yardstick, the United
States, Canada and New Zealand stand at
the forefront Of national efficiency, with
Australia and Great Britain just behind.
BY contrast, the Soviet Union ranks Tar
down In. the worlds economic scale, our
postwar economy being eight and one half
times as productive as Russia's, which has
gone through such severe recessions that
today its productivity is barely that which
It had attained in 1900. Mr.. Clark explains
this lag from the fact that industrial
advances have been counterbalanced by
AGRICULTURAL stagnation." So Soviet Russia
A put in q class Of relatively backward
economies like those Of the Balkan coun-
tries, Turkey and Brazil. In the lowest
rank Of all are India, whose level Of
productivity Is only one. half that OF
Russia's, and China which rates only one
fourth Of the Russian level.
Mr.. Clark's estimates are being studied
with especial interest In view Of the cur
rent campaign by Soviet and Communist
propagandists to convince the world that
Russia has made extraordinary economic
nrorress under the Stain regime and that
It today possesses military y-economic
potential compatible with It's position rs

A Measure Of Protection

The decision which has been announced
by the Public Utilities Commission with
respect to disconnecting the telephones of
suspected gamblers affords some protec-
tion to innocent people.
It has been the practice Of the telephone
company, upon obtaining evidence OF its
own which 1t regards as competent or
after receipt of notice from law-en-
forcement agency that telephone is being
used for an unlawful purpose, to discon-
tinue the service Since telephone service
In some situations is essential, and since
this procedure of itself offers no protec-
ton against abuse, the method followed
has been severely criticized.
The ruling by the PUG is helpful. Under
its terms, the telephone company hence
forth must give notice to subscriber OF
it, intent to discontinue his service, and
must advise him that he has right to
hearing before the PUG. If a subscriber
takes advantage Of that right, and II the
telephone company Is acting on the basis
Of evidence which 1t has obtained itself,
the PUG must be satisfied that the evidence
u strong enough to establish probable
cause to believe that the phone is being
used unlawfully. II the evidence does not
show this, the phone cannot be discon-
nected. The effect Of this is to protect
telephone users against the possibility OF
arbitrary or unreasonable action by the
phone company.
Apparently, however, the decision pro-
vides little or no protection against arbi-
trary action by a reinforcement agency,
for the PUG held that the phone company
will have probable cause to remove
phone when It heeds the advice Of the
district attorney or some other onhcial
that . phone is being used unlawfully. In
such q situation, the subscriber evidently
has no remedy except an appeal to the
courts. This is regrettable. for while there
is no reason to believe that either the
phone company or the public authorities
have been acting arbitrarily to remove
phones, the possibility Of arbitrary action
on the part Of the public authorities con-
tinues to exist.
It may be that the ruling, in its practical
application, will throw more safeguards
around the subscribers than would appear
to be the case ct nrst blush. At any rate,
q procedure for hearing has been estab-
ushed and the PUG, in fragrant cases, may
act to curb abuses, even by public author
tiles. The chances are that the knowledge
that this Is so will tend to restrain any
abuses which might grow out Of arbitrary
or careless actions by reinforcement
agencies.
