Price OF Liberty Told
By Jimmy Arlington
To Rotarians
Collins Editor Makes
Stirring Address

THE price of liberty is eternal
vigilance" said ]. D. Jimmy"
Arlington, outstanding Mississip-
pi lecturer, editor, and former ma
yor of Collins, in a non-political
speech to the Lexington Rotary
Club Tuesday. He is currently a
candidate for lieutenant governor
Of Mississippi.
Mr.. Arlington is q charter men,
Der and was charter president of
the Collins Rotary club and has
spoken to most of the Rotary clubs
in Mississippi within the past few
years. In addition he has been
telling the true story Of Missis-
sippi and her possibilities to the
entire nation having spoken in As
of the 48 states to thousands of
leading American citizens in civic
and business groups.
Our nation is in lots better
condition that most people think, I"
according to the speaker who has
been heard in every section of the
United States within the past
twelve months.
We need a revival of faith of
I'VE must realize that the price
of the liberty upon which this
country was formed is eternal
vigilance. We have plenty of good
people throughout this land to
exert the needed viligahce, he
emphasized.
The Collins editor asked: What
about the international situation?"
His own answer, that he didn't
know anything about it - that,
in fact, if there was anyone who
knew less about it than himself
he guessed it was the Secretary
of State - drew applause from
his hearers.
Mr.. Arlington said he does
think we have been taking mega
tive approach to communism,
though that he believes we
Americans should re-affirm our
and that by doing that we will
faith in our own American system
be making the best possible an
swer to communism.
He concluded his remarks by
paying tribute to lone of the
greatest documents in history"
the Declaration of independence
and by reading sections of it. He
said additionally the American
people have enjoyed another un-
written right, which is even
more important than life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness
and that is the right to do their
own thinking. He warned the
group that this right should be
guarded and that we all should dc
u own thinking if we want to
preserve that privilege.
Mr.. Arlington was introduced
by Walter D. Smith, program
chairman for July. DR.. Gordon

kcGrath Asks Action
Soon on Wiretapping

Attorney General McGrath has
called for prompt congressional
action to legalize FBI overlapping
as a means of safeguarding ma
tional security.
Except for overlapping author
ity, Mr.. McGrath said, the FBI "is
legally equipped to handle our
national security safeguards in all
vital respects. SO far as it is pos
sible to foresee at this time"
The Attorney General made his
plea for legalization of wiretap-
ping in radio interview yester-
day. He recalled that a bill along
this line had been introduced in
the House on January %.
Mr.. McGrath said he believed
the authority set out in the bill is
so limited as to eliminate any pos
sibility of abuse.

on the job it does not matter
where they came from. They
have learned to judge each other
as individuals and not as repre-
sentatives of any particular ma
ton.
knowledge Is Pooled.
The natural desire of each ma
ton to play major part produces
problems during the planning
stage and to some small extent in
the field but. broadly speaking.
has little effect on the actual work
of the expedition. Any diSadvan-
tages of national rivalry are easily
outweighed by the pooling of
knowledge and resources. Never
before has there been such a salts
factory trial of polar equipment
and techniques from each country,
a trial which has already rendered
obsolete by common consent some
cherished items and ideas con-
tributed by each.
What can be said of the year
ahead? There is no need to write
here of the scientific work which
is obviously being carried out with
conspicuous success. There is
every reason to expect that the
expedition will achieve all and
more than was originally hoped
in this direction.
The program is heavy one
which does not allow much time
for all those necessary daily tasks
which must be done to maintain
satisfactory living conditions.
Presumably the snow level will
continue to rise, presenting prob
lens of ventilation and lighting
which will tax the ingenuity of
the party. The weight of the
snow will increase and only con-
slant chipping of ice and digging
of snow will keep the tunnels
open.
More and stronger props will
have to be inserted and these in
turn will have to be excavated
from the snow in which they lie
buried. Perhaps it will be neces-
sary to extend the excavations
in new directions as the Older
tunnels become unusuable or to
repeat the operation of digging out
whole section and starting it at
ground level again, as was done
with the Rawin hut. 1t must be
remembered. however. that every
additional obstruction on the sur
face accelerates the local drifting
process. For this reason all the
new stores brought out this year
have been placed at a consider
able distance from the base.
Human Problems Difficult.
All these material problems ap-
pear to be soluble: The human
problems are less definable and
therefore more difficult to forsee.
Probably lack of fresh air and
lack of daylight are the chief
dangers. because these can destroy
mans will to persevere: like low
temperatures they can produce in
the mind unconscious and always
plausible reasons why necessary
tasks should be postponed or
neglected.
| A visitor cannot fail to notice
that while enthusiasm for the
scientific work and exploration is
still at high level there is less
sustained enthusiasm for chipping
ice and shoveling snow from one
part of the Antarctic to another.
