New Book Released On
Flood Control
The history of flood control in
the Yazoo- Mississippi Delta is told
in new book released by the
Delta Branch Experiment Station,
at Stoneville, Mississippi. This
study, entitled "Levee Districts and
Levee Building in Mississippi" was
prepared by Robert w. Harrison
Of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies. The long fight of Delta
citizens to build the levees needed
to prevent Mississippi River over
flow is told in detail. Maps and
photographs are used to illustrate
the work.
Mississippi Business Up
November business activity in
Mississippi was about 7 per cent
above that of November, 1850, ac-
cording to the current issue of the
Mississippi Business Review. In
the 16 trade area districts, only two
showed losses when compared with
last November-for the comparison
with November, 1850, the Pasca-
goula area showed the greatest in
crease, 80 per cent. The Columbus
district had an increase Of 20 per
cent for this comparison. The
Clarksdale area reported a small
drop-less than / per cent-and
Greenville had 3 per cent de-
crease.

l52-Mile Steamheated Pipeline
From Miss. Oil Fields Dedicated
Gulf Refining Company officials
dedicated 152-mile steamheated
pipeline bringing crude oil from
Mississippi fields to tankers in Mo-
bile. A cargo of 100000 barrels of
heavy Mississippi crude oil pumped
through the new line was loaded
aboard the tanker Gulfglow at
Cuffs new terminal for shipment
to refinery in New York. The
new Gulf line is unique in that it
marks the first attempt to move
highly viscous oil, as is found in
South Mississippi, such a great
distance. Heater stations have been
set up at 10 mile intervals to keep
the oil at high temperature so it
will flow easily. The first unit of
the new pipeline is 10-inch line
running "a miles from the Eucutta
field at Lumberton. From Lumber
ton the oil runs into a second unit,
14-inch line, that carries the oil
another SO miles into Mobile. The
14-inch line has capacity of 10000
barrels day. At its Mobile ter
minal, Gulf has erected six $4,000
gallon capacity storage tanks and
a loading pier.

mark parenthetically that practic-
ing a speech in front of a mirror
is no good. You not only feel like
a fool, but you get discouraged
about your appearance.
There's a big speech-making ira
dition about jokes. According to the
authorities, it's best to start a speech
with some humOr. This is supposed
to gentle down the audience and
make it receptive. This may be all
right for people who go around in
their private lives saying "did you
hear the one about p" but for
those Of us who aren't joke-fan-
clers it's a real problem to pick up
little story which is fairly new

what, if anything, is to follow.

The experts can give you plenty
of rules on preparation and deliv-

to practice it. The best instructors
can't prepare the novice for that
awful moment when he's up on his
own feet, faced by few or a lot Of
his fellows in attitudes of expec-
fancy.
First, we are told, decide what
you want to say and how you want
to say it. The experts, therefore,
presume that every speechmaker
wants to say something. 1 believe

siderable research on the subject
and I find that the literature is
surprisingly vOluminous but, as far
as / am concerned, completely use
less.
1 have discovered that all in
structions on speech-making have
been written by people who LIKE
to get up and declaim or at least
by people who think they are pret-
ty good at it. None of the rules
seem to show any consideration
for the reluctant orator who has

Apparently, there's some impor-
tance attached to being able to
make public speeches without
fainting. I'm against this tradition.
It's high time we diviCod people
into two categories: those who have
a yen to make speeches and those
who are content to listen. For those
of us in the latter group, 1 say, let's

But reliable statistics kept by great tire manu-
facturer show that certain Cadilacs in its testing
fleet have approached million mies-with amazing
records for overall economy.
Naturally, when you take possession of new
Cadillac you are not thinking of owning and driving
it for such a spectacular distance.
But think what this phenomenal endurance fore
tells for your own period of ownership.
1t is your finest possible guarantee that the thrill
and the satisfaction of your first mile at the wheel
will go on and On-untl, with reluctance, you pass
the car along to another proud and happy owner

And it means, of course, that the oalue of your
Cadillac will endure. Even its second, and third, and
fourth owners will fnd-as they pass the car along
that its relative value is amazing. There is almost
ae0ays demand for Cadillac, regardless ofits age
Of course, the great thrill of owning a Cadillac
comes from the cars marvellous performance and its
wonderful prestige.
But it is so nice to reflect, as you sit at the Wheel
that your pride is practical-and that your salts
faction is coming from a sound investment.
Is it time for you to think about Cadillac? If so,
we would be happy to see you any time.
Milford chronicle., 1952-11-21

Happy, happy man! His time has come to own the
car of cars and there he goes for the first
thrilling ride at the wheel
But what an additional thrill he would have if he
could look down the long, long road that car will
travel before it comes to its final stop!
For then he would know, beyond peradventure,
that he has just taken possession of one of the
mechanical masterpieces of all time!
Accurate records of Cadillac mileage are seldom
kept throughout the cars whole span of life For the
average Cadillac has a succession of owners-and its
accumulative mileage is thus difficult to compute.

His case is being argued at
the White House by the Presi-
dents former counsel, Clark
Clifford, now retained by many
big oil and gas interests with
which Kerr's oil company is af-
filiated. Mr.. Clifford has shown
the President a Kerr voting
record which shows him firmly
with the administration on for
eign policy and all the Fair
Deal except civil rights. On that
issue, and it is the Senator's
greatest single weakness as a
candidate, he has sided with
the South both in votes and

ing.
Mr.. Kerr has also assured the
President that an old charge
he failed to support AL Smith

Truman, a fellow-Baptist, was
sympathetic; his foes in Mis-

We Fell Into Communist T rap
Den1osthenes' Warning to Athenions on Timidy Made
1900 Years Ago Is Applicable to Our Leaders Now

this a moral and also a mill
tary necessity. South Korea in
enemy hands would have been
a threat to our security in the
Pacific. After some reverses we
were, a year ago, in an excel
lent position to throw the
enemy's forces back behind the
Yalu River.
Our supreme command in the
Far East had intercepted Red
communications showing that
the enemy's forces had become
exhausted after a series of tenn
porary successes. The Red high
command was shrieking for
more guns, planes and ammu-
milton which were slow in COM
ing over the enormous distances
which separate Korea from
Western Russia. It was at that
time that the Soviet delegate at
the United Nations, Jacob Ma
lik. suggested" discussion of
an armiStice.
Our political leaders began to
interpret" the objective of our
presence in Korea and were re-
luctant to take advantage of
our superiority in the air and
in firepower. They did not want
to take a calculated risk" We
fell into the Communist trap.
Moreover, our leaders lacked
foresight and did not order re-
sumption of hostilitieS after it
became clear to military men on
the scene that the enemy was
Stalling to gain time to receive
desperately needed reinforce
ments.
After many painful expe-
riences since 1945 American
policy makers still trusted the
Communists. There is a saying
among Turkish political leaders
who have had vast experience
for nearly two centuries with the
Muscovites that "if you trust
them only Is per cent you are
just that percentage wrong"
Instead of telling our foes

individuals to quit work, and
so do managers. The answer
doesn't lie in that direction any
more than it would in propos-
ing-as an amendment certainly
would be proposed-that labor
union funds also go into govern
mental treasures simultaneously
with the receipts of the COM
panies or that unco-operative
officers be replaced by those ap-
pointed by the Government.
To hold the status quo" dur
ing seizure-making wage in
creases only by agreement be-
tween management and labor
unions-is no solution either.
There are occasions when such
agreements are not possible,
and the moment the Govern
ment undertakes, during seizure,
to impose working conditions
and terms, one side or the other
is bound to be aggrieved.
The solution is to be found by
eliminating all non-economic
issues and confining Govern
ment arbitration-for that's
what it really is-to economic
issues. But, in addition to this,
the same agency which grants
the wage increases must be
conscious of and empowered to
deal with the effects on the price
side. It's a simple solution, and
were it not for the one-sided
nature of the so-called public"
members of the Government
boards and the unscrupulous
policies of the administration
in power which throws fairness
and equity out the window as
it clasps to its bosom the politi'
cal influence of pressure groups,
there would not be any major
labor dispute which couldn't be
solved without seizure. Honest
government, fair government
"a government such as Jeffer-
son envisaged with equal rights
for all and special privileges for
none''-doesn't need any seizure

Constantine Brown:

President Truman is said to
enjoy reading the lives of the
great military and political
thinkers of the past. Demos
themes is one of his favorites.
The pronouncement made by
the great Athenian some 2800
years ago fits our present pre-
dicaments. He admonished his
fellow cOuntrymen as follows:
Shame on you Athenians for
not wishing to understand that
in war one must not allow one
self to be at the command of
events, but to forestall them.
You Athenians are the strongest
of all the Greeks in ships, cav
airy. infantry and revenue and
you do not make the best of
them. You make war against
Philip (the Macedonian) like a
barbarian wrestler. If he Suf-
fers blow he Immediately puts
his hand on it. If he is struck
again ne puts his hand there
too. But he does not have the
skill of parrying it. You. like
wise, if you hear that Philip has
attacked town, you send help
there; if he is at Thermopylae
you run there, and If he turns
aside you follow him to the
right or left as if you were act
ing on his orders. Never a
fixed plan; never any precau-
ton. You wait for the bad
news before you act"
This description of the policy
of the Athenians at the time
when Athens was at the height
of her power is applicable to us
today. We too are the strongest
of all the free nations in~ the
world. But our leadership is
timid and follows instead of
forestalling the enemy.
We have entered into the 11th
month of negotiations with the
Communists at Panmunjom. We
plunged into the Korean war
more than 1000 miles from our
shores because we considered
