lis unable to perform his duties
because Of illness. Mr.. Eisen-
hover suggested q broad study
should be made by Congress to
resolve any doubts on that sub
ject.
He said the question was one
of the foremost in his mind
while he lay in a Denver hospi-
tai bed during the early stages
of his recovery.
The Constitution says that the
Vice President should take over
when a President is disabled to
the extend of not being able to
carry out his duties. but does not
specify who shall determine the
disability or what happens II
the Ill President RECEIVERS,
Mr.. Eisenhower said he could
imagine a President being un-
able to decide for himself about
whether he should relinquish his
duties.
On KnowIand Statement
The President was asked spe-
officially about a statement at
tributed to Senator Knowland
that the Senator believed Mr..
Eisenhower would announce his
second-term intentions, one way
or the other, by the middle Of
next month.
He replied that what he has
promised is to make an an
nouncement as quickly as he
reaches a firm decision. He
added, that he has no desire to
confuse the American people or
evade the question.
Remarking that there are
lpressures on him every day for
a decision, the President said he
had to isolate himself to make
up his mind and would do so as
soon as he can.
Mr.. Eisenhower suggested fur
ther study Of the whole White
House staff arrangement. includ-
ing the problem Of Office space
for any additions to the staff.

called that he always has re-

Harking back to his World
War II days as supreme allied

theater, Mr.. Eisenhower said
that If he had listened to all the
advice he had received the
American armies still would not
have crossed the Channel. In
fact, he added. he doubted II
they ever would have crossed

Mr.. Eisenhower replied that he
had not read the article. and.
anyway. was not going to discuss
details.
But on the specific question,
Mr.. Eisenhower said that he was
not going to discuss anywhere
the present, past or possible fu-
ture decisions that come before
the National Security Council.
He said it would not be proper
to do so.
This apparently ruled out dis
cussion Of atom bombs as the
question of the use Of such
weapons almost certainly would
have to go before the council.
Mr.. Eisenhower then Endorsed
what he called the policy of
peace based on decency, justice
and right. He said you may in
terpret this as being on the
brink of war but this was be-
cause Of what the other fellow
does. The United States, he
said, must stand firm.
Mr.. Eisenhower, speaking fer
vently and with increasing speed,
then declared when it comes to
a question Of war there was only
one place he would go and that
was to the Congress of the
United States.
The President was asked about
the Life articles comment that
Mr.. Dulles never doubted that
Mr.. Eisenhower would have or
dered American forces to help
resist any Chinese Communist
attack on Quemoy and Matsu,
the Nationalist-held islands on
the Chinese mainland.
Can't Forecast Action
Mr.. Eisenhower replied that at
the time Of Congressional action
on the FormoSan problem, he
told Congress he could not tell
whether an attack on the islands
would mean an About assault
on Formosa or would be COM
pletely local. He said there was
no way Of saying.
This left American policy un-
changed. The United States line
has been that If the Reds at
tackled Quemoy and Matsu as
part Of general assault ON For
mosa or the nearby Pescadores
Islands, tho United States would
fight.
Mr.. Eisenhower, in answer to
. question. said perspective was
needed to appraise the state Of
the world and the prospect for
peace.
Early last year, he said, there
was growing pressure for o con-
ference Of chiefs Of state. There
was great doubt in this country.
he said, as to the wisdom of
such a meeting but the United
States could not be in q position
Of insisting that it was right
about everything.
When the. United States
agreed to the conference, Mr..
Eisenhower related, a great
wave Of relief and hope spread.
These hopes. he said, have
not been realized. He said that
If you compare the situation
now with that in early August
you have a great feeling Of let
down. But if you 60 back three
years, he said, the situation is
not as dark as 1t was.
BristIes on Ridgway
Mr.. Eisenhower bristled when
the Ridgway controversy was
raised. It was noted that Gen.
Ridgway, in an article in the
Saturday Evening Post, said that
manpower cuts were ordered by
the administration two years
ago because of reasons more
political than military.
Mr.. Eisenhower replied that
he had never been guilty Of max
ing q military decision on the
basis Of politics. After referring
reporters to the Defense De-
partment to get an explanation

The recent public nearing on the sales tax ordinance brought ::'orth enough ideas of what not 60 tax Father than what and now to raise money for City improvements. The City Fathers wore plaid shirts is reported in local paper, but they should have worn boards. The knotty problem of satisfying every Dody on the Sales Tax Ordinance calls for the wisdom of Solomon. This man of wisdom (we're sure he must have been wise-how else could he have kept all the wives he was supposed to have had, hap py) ruled in the case of the two women who claimed the same baby, that the infant be cut in half and a part be given to each wo- man, Cutting the sales tax in half and charging on everything might be a solution that will either satis- fy everybody or nobody.

 Mayor Johnson and the City Council have job on their hands whipping this ordinance into shape, 'but strangely enough. other com Hrunshies have been faeed-with the same problem, ansi despite early reactions of anegative nature, the people have.fonnd the benefits far outweigh the disagreeable features.

A lot of questions were asked at the meeting, but the prize one of the evening, we think will De this one, asked by somebody in the audience: Will people who watch TV have to pay the tax?

 Voting in the primaries brought out some strange practices, too. One voter cast his ballot favoring the Tennessee plan, but did not vote on the ratification of the Con stitution.

Another voted for both Stevenson and Kefauver as presidential candidates on the Democratic ballot. That's like hav- ing your cake and eating it, too. Maybe he meant to put them on the ballot as running mates. May

 Torgie Torgerson of the Bank of Kodiak has been gathering pennies in preparation for the sales tax levy. He doesn't have the problem, though, that the banks in Fair banks have in furnishing silver dollars. According to Jessen's Weekly, Ed Stroeker, President of the First National ;Bapk there, said that it costs the bank more than $3500 per year to keep the City in silver dollars. The other bank in Fairbanks spends a like sum for shipping charges and packaging of the cartwheeis. The silver dollar is a traditional medi- um of exchange in the Northern Alaska town.

 Alaskan farmers experienced a very rough season in 1855 as a re- suit of cool, wet weather, early frost, depressed prices and in- creased stateside competition. This fact was brought. out in the bulle- tin issued by the Agricultural Elk pertinent Station and Alaskan De partment of Agriculture. Beef and pork sales were up considerably, totaIiing $135,029 compared to last years $86,061. The Anchorage area produced most of the pork and the principal beef production was in the Kodiak area, according to the bulletin.

Further, they're looking to the
state of Mississippi for technical
assistance in providing an analysis
of the agricultural-industry situa-
ton. In the 1866 resolutions of
the Mississippi Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON it is pointed out that:
eve are convinced that the
sponsors of BAWI installations in
Mississippi should survey the best
source of raw materials for locat-
ing processing plants. Raw prod
ucts produced on Mississippi farms
and processed in Mississippi plants
offer the highest possible profits
to the industry, farmers, and wage
earners because of the resulting
savings in freight, commissions,
exchange and other costs.

are now, can we do something about
it? For instance, should we pro-
cess our perishables here in Mis-
sissippi instead of racing toward a
distant market like we've done be-
fore?
Projections of various speakers
pointed to goals for the next five
and ten years-goals that if fol-
lowed may well bring Mississippi
farmers into the ranks of the COM

all at once, of course. 1t will take
time and all Mississippi stands to
benefit.
Let's take a look at just one
commodity-corn. During recent
years in Mississippi we have de-
emphasized corn production. We
took the viewpoint that the corn
belt is the best source of corn. We
quit growing it and bought more
corn than we raised. In 1854 we
saw the folly of our own doing,
so with statewide program spon-
sored by agricultural groups we
sought to boost corn production.
With good corn growing season
last year, PRODUCTION exceeded all
hopes. Now the Farm Income Com
mittee is looking at the marketing
situation. They are getting tired
of rats eating corn supplies in the
old-fashioned cribs. They are look
ing longingly at the modern grain

by recent actions of a Mississippi
Farm Income Planning Committee
comprised of the leadership of
all agricultural groups s. and
through the resolutions of the Mis-
sissippi Farm Bureau Federation,
the states voice of the farmer.
AS a matter of fact, all agricul-
tural agencies of Mississippi and
related credit organizations, which
assembled in the state office build
ing Friday, June %, agreed that
something must be done about the
situation facing the farmer as they
unanimously endorsed plan of
action-commodity by commodity
to improve farm income through
concerted efforts in each county.
The trend of thinking at Fridays
meeting pointed to the fact that
the arm of fate has not destined
that Mississippi farmers stay on
the bottom rung Of the nations
economic ladder. The leadership
seemed of the opinion that the
August sun is neither too hot, nor
the summers too dry, the Missis-
sippi soil too poor, nor is there
scarcity of know-how, to achieve
a far better living from the farm
than we have been used to.
They faced some of their prob
lens squarely. Are markets and
factories too far away for this
states farmer to thrive? If they

groups to induce more industry to
develop, and to locate in Missis-
sippi which would increase our
economy and per capita income"
The Farm Bureau membership
further urges "the reactivation Of
the Agricultural Marketing Com
mission Act with adequate appro-
priations to carry out a program
for agriculture similar to the BAWI
program for industry" Following
up on this recommendation, the
sc Mississippi Legislature appro-
priated $4,000 for agricultural
marketing.
The Farm Income Committee
agrees on one significant fact:
Farmers are not going far enough
into the field of agricultural busi-
ness. New farm enterprises are
being looked into-to improve the
income of part-time farmers and
to give a more profitable vocation
to squeezed out" farmers.
Subcommittee reports show
clearly that Mississippi farmers
are getting pretty well fed up with
their low income problem. They're
tired of shipping their raw prod
ucts to parts unknown for pro-
cessing and the big price tagging.
What they want is to take fuller
command of their resources and
make Mississippi products mean
more to Mississippi.
