Wright of Mississippi have been

the 1852 Democratic bolt in the
South.
Gov. Herman Talmadge of Ga.
who in every particular operates
in Dixie style when it comes to
race relations or progressive social

have Georgia's % votes at next

Russell is a strong man among
the Dixiecrats because of his
record in the senate and his con-
sistent anti-Truman tactics. He
polled 263 convention votes at
Philadelphia in l948 in the south's
futile effort TO stop the Truman

Kingston Hurricane Leaves 100
Dead, Thousands Homeless

"A 30-minute blast from a $50
mile per hour hurricane caused
extensive damage to the city of
Kingston last week. Fields in the
country areas and food crops
were wiped out. But in the wake
only ITO persons periShed out f
several thousand homeless.
Communications and fuel sup
plies have been drastically dis
rupted. Electrical power will not
be available for one week. Burst
water mains left the city dry and
hirSty. A famine follows fast at
he heels of the disaster.
If the water mains remain
broken for any length of time,
here may be an epidemic.
In the furry, rs prisoners and
convicts escaped from the gener-
al penitentiary. Before police and
the military succeeded in round
ing up 80, Cat time of writing), a
number had broken into the fe-
male cells and raped the women.
Lootings have been reported.
AT the moment, the extent of
the damage could not be estimat-
ed, as the parishes have been Vir-
tually cut off from the city. Roads
clogged with landSlideS prevented
traffic movements. Telecommuni-
cations were shattered. The Elec-
trically operated radio system was
dead. Power had to be turned off
because of high tension overhead
wires.
There has been no music for the
cathedralS and no movies for the
cinemas.
More than 1000 lunatics had to
be herded to safety as the mental
hospital was crushed by the
storm.
There were no fires, fortunately.
If there had been, the effect
would have been chaotic as fire
fighters would be hampered by
the debris blocked streets.
High whistling winds COM
menced lashing along the south
coast sometime early Friday
morning. Government Meteoro-
logists at the Palisades airport is
sued a warning that a hurricane
was sighted. Shops and offices

But the sight of rustic camp and

socks? They could just wear them
with holes. Who cares in camp? Why
read about experiences when you can
live them? There's plenty of time to
