We've been raised from infancy to believe that the concepts OF the
Democratic party were fundamental and sound, SO it is small wonder
that we still subscribe pretty largely to that belief. but somehow or
other we don't find ourselves getting all hot and bothered because our
friend and fellowtownsman Sen. Spessard L. Holland indicates that
he is something less than 100 per cent enthused over the prospective
candidacy of Adlai Stevenson as the Democratic nominee for Presr
dent quite frankly we personally feel the same way about the
matter. ;. as a charming and gifted speaker Stevenson would be hard
to beat, but the evidence he has given in the past of opposing those
factors which have been the lifelong tenets of the South leave us cold
to his candidacy. /. indeed it appeals to us that the most capable
candidates for the Democratic partys presidential nominee hail from
south of the MasonDixon line.

80. With the car manufacturers producing millions of new cars
each year, we keep wondering when they'll reach the saturaton point
I'M each year brings out new models and they are somehow sold. For
almost every new car sold, there is a tradeln car placed IN the second
hand lot and they too, always seem to find their way to a new owner.
The production Of new cas seems to be going ahead much faster than
the older models are disappearing from the highways and the marvel
to us, is that there always seems to be a market for these millions and
millions of automobiles. We're beginning to wonder as year follows
year if there ever will be such a thing as a saturation point.

.... Numerous proposals have already been made for some pro-
gram whereby the federal government would divert acreage from food
and fiber crops to soilbuldng and soiconservng crops. Most of
these plans involve rental of farmers land by the government.
If some such program could be worked out, with adequate safe
guards against merely diverting land to other cash crops, it might
be a major help in solving the farm problem. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson said recently that further study is being given to the idea.
Judging by the committee hearings, numerous Midwestern farmers
think further study" should be a prelude to action.

The pressure under which the president Of the United States is
forced to work was plainly indicated upon the collapse Of President
Eisenhower.
Here is a man who has been accustomed to handling jobs which
require long hours and hard work. He has learned through the years
to budget his work in order to provide sufficient time for needed re
taxation. A man unable to organize his working hours would have
collapsed much sooner. The fact Of the matter is the job of being
president of the United States is the biggest job in the world today,
calling from the occupant of the White House a tremendous physical
as well as mental strain.
1t soon will be necessary for Congress to limit the jobs which are
placed on the desk of the president for his personal attention.
