JACKSON, Miss. urine south
for the first time since 1895 holds
the balance Of political power both
within the Democratic Party and
in the nation. Sen. Karl Mundt
tR.-S. CO. said today.
''The South faces an opportunity
such as no oder segment Of our
country has ever faced and such
as Dixie has not had since the
Democratic National Convention in
1886 repealed the 'two-thirds rule, ~
Mundt declared.
His remarks were in a speech
prepared for delivery before the
annual meeting of the Mississippi
Economic Council.
Mundt. who for two years has
stumped the country advocating q
lberal-conservative realignment of
the nations two major parties,
said that such 4 shuttle could re-
suit from the 1852 elections.
Praising Sen. Russell D.-Ga. J
as deserving united and sustained
support Of Southern Democrats
In his bid for the Democratic Pres
idential nomination, the South Da.
kotan said failure of the Democrats
to nominate Russell would be the
first step in such a realignment.
Inability Of the South to support
the national nominee and reluc-
lance to vote . Republican ticket
could lead to another Southern
presidential ticket which would
have q good chance Of throwing
the entire election into the House
OF Representatives, he said.
"A presidential selection by the
House Of Representatives would
undoubtedly bring about q perma-
nent realignment al party forces
IN this country" he went on.
Those joining forces In the
choice Of the President would in
all probability also organize the
Senate and the House and thus pro-
vide the needed nucleus for evolve
ment OF two new opposing partisan
forces In this coGntry--each with
definite purpose and definable
principles 50 that the people would
nave . clear cut choice In oil

Two Fighter
Planes Have
'Collidcd
ACCIDENT Occurred
Today As $3.50
Paratroopers Make
Mass Jump
BY WILBUR MARTIN

FORT HOOD, Tex. 1.-TWO F-5l
single-engine fighter planes were
reported to have collided today as
$3.50 paratrppers made a mass
jump in Exercise Long Horn, big
Army-Air Force maneuvers.
The information came from the
maneuvers' Joint Public Informa-
ton Bureau here. Newsmen-and
many generals who had counted
on seeing the spectacular air drop
were not at the scene. A few
hours earlier they had been told
the mass jump had been cancelled.
Maneuver headquarters was not
able to say Immediately whether
the planes crashed or managed to
stay aloft. Whether there were
casualties was not announced.
Among generals caught In their
hunks was Gen. Hoyt vandenberg.
chief of the Air Force. He and
other generals. and news reporters
raced to the scene.
The Joint Public Information Blu
reay had announced at 4 a. m. est
that the jump was called off be-
cause of high winds. AT tbs q. m.
came word from the JIPB that
81 pathfinders-those paratroopers
who jump in advance to mark out
the drop rome for the bulk Of the
jumpers-had dropped. Minutes
later the whole jump was on.
Apparently, said an officer In
the JPIB. the decision to jump
was made in the air as the planes
headed over the drop zone.
Scores of fighter planes were
providing air cover for the troop
transports carrying the paratroop-
ers. The Hghters,were also making
|simuiatad stFadng runs OYER the
area.
As far as could be ascertained,
none Of the official observers who
had planned to watch the jump
actually saw 1t. Nor were any of
the scores Of correspondents and
photographers assigned to the ma
neuvers at the scene.
There was no immediate report
of any casualties among the jump
ers who dropped In a stiff wind
that sent clouds of dust broiling
over the Central Texas ranchland.

BARROW, Alaska, (P) - Two narrow brushes with death mark ed the rescue of nine men from an Arctic ice foe last weekend each because of a cracked land ing ski-but the Navy wrote a happy "well done" to the finish.
 Seven Navy airmen and two civilian scientists, engaged in po- lar ocean research for the Navy's Operation Ski Jump" were stranded 523 miles from the pole last Thursday when a ski of their RAD Flying Laboratory" buckled on takeoff. Almost miraculously no one was hurt.
 Then Sunday the operation's leader, Cmdr. V. J. Coley of Oak land, Calif., and seven crewmen came within 10 feet of disaster in landing their P2V rescue plane on the rough Arctic ice.
 A cracked ski sent the 30-ton, twin-engined Neptune swerving to the side at the end of the too-short icy runway and almost into an eight-foot ice pressure ridge. The big plane came to rest a scant 10 feet from the frozen
