suits OF the Current Population
Survey compiled by the Bureau of
the Census. This figure was $500

earlier. Compared with November
1854, weekly takehone pay was up

Love Is
Supreme Law
For the World

WHEN we consider law ana
Nv liberty, we must recognize
that all law does not make Tor
liberty. People often speak, or
write, of obedience as If it were
In itself q virtuous and desirable
thing. It depends entirely upon
what one obeys.
Obedience to tyrants, and the
laws of tyrants, has brought hor.
ror and suffering upon the world
too often in times past and Is
much too evident in the world OF
today. Laws have often been
promulgated and designed to es-
tablish tyranny, rather than to
promote liberty.
Law tends toward liberty only
when it is not contrary to the
laws of God, and of Gods world.
And the highest law of all, the
only law obedience to which can
bring fitness Of liberty and well
fare to man, is the law of Love.
The two great commandments
q u AONS@tO lONC 9oN WIN oAA eANS
heart, and soul, and mind, and
strength; and to love ones neigh
Dor as ones self--are not inven-
lions of Christianity, or pecu-
liarly Christian.
They are part of that great
heritage from Judaism that Jesus
said He had not come to. destroy,
but to fulfill.
They are the great command
rnents that Jesus heard as a boy
as He attended worship in the
synagogue. They occupy place
in the ritual from Sabbath to
Sabbath of similar Importance to
the Lords prayer in the worship
of Christian churches.
Well might we make these
commandments, also, a part of
our regular Christian worship.
In this manner may wa hope to
so discipline ourselves that we
will approach the goal of making
them effective in. daily life and
conduct.

Dear Folks:
READING BETWEEN THE LINES

AfADAN0 DEL WEEN HE LINES
Not everything appears clearly
from the written word. Sometimes
the significant meaning is to be
found between the lines. Just so it
was with the Presidents State of
the Union Message. For instance, al
though the President did not speci-
ncally say so, any Russian reading
the speech would understand that
the Communicating Chief will, If
necessary, use atomic weapons to-
iepei armed aggression.
The Presidents use of the words
'nuclear-powered aircraft" was also
meaningiul. Our nuclear- powered
submarine QNautilus) has already
advanced cur sea superiority. Think
what an atomic airplane would
mean in the current struggle for air
superiority.
The Presidents expression of con-
Germ over Russia's refusal of United
Nations membership to Japan was
q well-tiined maneuver in the arena
of international politics, as was his
remark about a divided Germany
and the bondage of millions else
where" rr ia
Perhaps the most noteworthy part
of the Message, however,, was not
couched in diplomatic inference
but in positive and beautifully sim
pie American prose. In calling for
balanced budget and a possible pay
ment on the National debt, Presi-
dent Eisenhower said:
Over the long term. balanced
budget is a sure index to thrifty
management-in a home, in bust
ness or in the Federal Government.
When achievement of a balanced
budget is for long put. off in a
business or home, bankruptcy is the
result. But in. similar circumstances
a government resorts to initiation of
money supply. This inevitably re-
suits in depreciation of the value
of the money, and an increase in
the cost OF. living. Every investment
in personal security is threatened
by this process of initiation, and the
real values of the peoples savings
whether in the form of insurance,
bonds, pension and !, retirement
funds or savings accounts are there
by Shriveled." - ~

mission.
There has been, in my opinion,
material change in the condi-
tons which then existed and which
prompted the recommendation.
"As legislators will recall, there
was then in progress an "investi-
cation" by certain federal authori-
ties into our 1866 primary cleo
tions, a matter which was the sole
business of our people and in which
Federal Intervention was wholly
unjustified.
"Since that time, however, the
United States Department of JUS
tice has declined to intervene in
case the occurrence of which we
deeply regret but which simply
presented no ground for Federal
interference.
Moreover, the highly respected
head of one of these federal in
vestigative agencies has fearlessly
discharged the duty Of giving the
nation the real facts in answer to
+ irresponsible charges recklessly,
hurled by one of the worst agita-
tors ever to infest our state,
man who now is gone from our
borders.
"While the Federal Bureau of
Investigation is not named in this
proposed legislation, it is well
known to everybody that this bill
was conceived in an effort to i'm
pede possible future activities OF
that agency (acting under the or
ders of the present Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States) to inter-
fere in our state elections and in
the operation of our state courts,
matters wholly within the jurisdlc-
ton of the State and matters which
we are amply able, willing, and
anxious to control in strict keeping
with our Constitution and laws.
"Prior to the regrettable occur
ances of late 1866, the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation both enjoyed
and deserved the sincere admira-
ton, respect, and cooperation OF
all law abiding Mississippians.
Considering that those activities
apparently were orderd by the
United States Attorney General
and were not originated by the
Bureau of it's own motion, it may
safely he said that the Bureau and
its agents still enjoy such admira-
ton, cooperation and respect. In
the past, it has given our state the
benefit of it's unlimited laboratory
facilities, it has apprehended erimi-
nails who fled our jurisdiction, and
in numerous other ways it has been
of untold benefit to our people.
"Since Mississippi has nothing to
fear from any honest investigation
limited to federal questions and
since we have nothing to hide.
nothing of which we are ashamed,
and therefore nothing to fear, l
have concluded it to be the better
part of craftsmanship, calculated
to serve our best interest in the
years to come, at this time to stay
our hand, doing SO in the sincere
hope that the proud record of the
past will not hereafter be sullied
by unjustifiable harrassment, med
ding, or interference.
"This veto is by no means to be
construed as criticism of the Leg
stature for having passed the bill.
Were it not for the considerations
recited / should have signed it as
soon as it reached my desk.
