David Lawrence need not feel too
badly about his erroneous statement
that Benedict Arnold was executed by
the Americans as a spy, which he
promptly corrected. Many people with
whom I conversed thought the same
thing as Lawrence They all knew
that Arnold was an arch-traitor. and
they assumed that he was caught and
hanged. But not me.

After the Cheers
Tom Coll.

AS an american OF many generaClOnS
who indorsed whole-heartedly the pro-
cedure followed by our Supreme Court
and President Eisenhower in the Ros-
enberg case, wish to commend The
Star for its editorial June q entitled
After the Cheers"
am reminded of the words, many
years ago. of gallant naval oficer
after victorious sea battle:
Don't cheer boys. the poor devils are
dying" To that officer, apparently,
reverence was a part of patriotism in
the presence of death, no matter what
the circumstances.
Mrs. v. B. Edmonston.
Some of your correspondents express
revulsion over the crowd In Lafayette
Park cheering at the news of the elec-
trocution of the Rosenbergs. Perhaps
they only saw the cheering and failed to
hear where it came from or understood
what it meant. The cheering was not
over the execution per sc but rather
over the defeat of the pickets who with
their sponsors had made themselves
the objects Of an intense animosity
Even the most outSpoken foes of capital
punishment cheered the ultimate tri-
umph of the American judicial system
over the plainly manufactured effort to
discredit it. am sure that was what
the cheering was for. and in that sense
1t was loud and nationwide. ....

demonstrated against the Rosenberg
sympathizers in front of the White
House. Two correspondents. writing in
more Or less the same vein in your
letters column, have characterized the
outbursts Of the demonstrators as
"bloodthirsty Civilizations" "sickening,"
"un-American," ETC., etc.
On June %, The Star quoted En-
manuel Bloch, the Rosenbergs' attor-
ney, as having made the following
statement in funeral grafton for his
former clients: the executions
were an act Of cold, deliberate murder
the people should know that
America is living under the heels Of a
military dictator garbed in civilian
attire. These people have the souls of
murdererS
Now which is really sickening and
un-American, the words of group of
people in public park against those
who would let treason against the
United States go unpunished, or the
words of an American lawyer calling
the President Of the United States a
murderer?
It is interesting that any editorial
comment or letters to the editor on
what Bloch said were conspicuous by
their absence.
Observer.
Emanuel Bloch ended his futile ef-
forts to save the worst spies this coun-.
try has ever known with a vicious out
burst against our President and Gov
ernment. He ranted about dealing with
animals" In my opinion, Attorney
Bloch is the worst creature the bar
association has ever admitted to the
profession.
would like to see Blochs citizenship
revoked or demand a public apology
from him for saying that "he is
ashamed to be an American citizen"
He should be ashamed Of himself and
the invective he has hurled at people
in high places in our Government.

Record Tree-PIuntinq
Job Completed In
Holmes County

This years pine seeding
planting job which was begur
the second week in December
was completed about the middle
of March with total of 1927, SOC
pine and hardwood seedlings
planted in Holmes County. The
Mississippi Forestry Commission
and the Flood Control Project
of the U. S. Forest Service fur
nished these trees and supervis-
ed the planting of them. Most
OF the seedlings were planted
with financial assistance of the
p. M. A. on farms on which
farm plans had been writ
ten by the Soil Conservation
Service.
Most of the seedlings planted
were loblolly pine. There were
$4,000 slash pine, about 10000
shortleaf pine, and several
thousand each of longleaf pine,
catalpa, and black locust plant
ed.
The majoriety of these seed
lings were planted on quilted or
sheet eroded land. Besides heal
ing these eroded. areas, they
will restore about $500 acres of
otherwise worthless land to pro-
duction.
In order for these young trees
to grow into a valuable crop
they must be protected from
grazing for the first few years
and they must be protected from
fire.
Since the tree planting has
been completed for this year,
work has begun to prepare
planting love grass seed so
that the movement of the soil
will be slowed down enough for
pine seedlings to take hold.
