State AAA
Dates Set

Mississippi's AAA Statewide
Tourist Promotion Committee will
hold its annual business meeting
on October at the EdgeWater
Gulf Hotel at EdgeWater Park,
A full program, arranged to en-
phasize the states tourist posi-
bilities and point up methods of
increasing tourist traffic in the
state, has been planned by How
ard P. HILL executive manager of
the Mississippi Automobile Club,
and Sidney T. Roebuck of New
ton, the committee chairman.
Headline speakers on the pro-
gram, which opens at 80 in the
afternoon, are Stuart B. Wright,
general manager of the Madison,
Wisconsin, AAA Club, and Roy c.
Adams og Tupelo, chairman of
the Mississippi Highway Commits
sion.
Mr.. Wright's club has over 100,-
600 members and many Wisconsin
tourists visit Mississippi annually.
He will speak on more Millions
for Mississippi" a topic that will
tell Mississippians how they can
increase the states tourist bust
ness.
Chairman Adams will discuss
the Highway Commissions pro-
gram of new highway construc-
ton and show how the states fine
highway system has and will con-
tinue to bolster the states
economy.
State Insurance Commissioners
Walter Dell Davis and Ned O'Bri-
en-, manager of the travel depart
ment of the Mississippi Agricul-
tural and Industrial Board, have
accepted invitations to attend the
meeting.
1t is estimated that the tourist
industry in Mississippi amounts
to nearly $30O,0OO,000 annually,
placing it high on the list of the
states economic contributors. This
figure can be greatly increased,
tourist leaders say, if Mississip-
plans will just take advantage of
che opportunities offered for at
tracing more tourists to the state.

FoiIings of the United Nations

issue statements seeking to
benefit by the vote of one
group or the other Of SYM
pathizers with the factions In
the Middle East controversy.
But when all the govern
ments take up a question in
the United Nations and de-
bate it in the open, this can
override any domestic attitudes
or political quarrels as world
opinion begins to mobilize.
The weakness Of the United
Nations today is that it has
lost much Of its moral prestige
because it has not been willing
to champion morality against
immortality. The failure Of the
U. N. to denounce the un-
moral behavior Of the Chinese
Communists in North Korea
and their disregard Of the
U. N. Armistice Commission
there is on a par with the
commission of any censure
of Soviet Russia for her
part in furnishing arms and
ammunition to Red China and
the North Koreans. Another
example of the same disregard
of the principles Of the United
Nations Charter emerged when
the Soviet Union chose to send
arms to Egypt by way OF
Czechoslovakia.
There can be no peace in the
Middle East unless the free
world is united and examines
the controversy as the United
Nations, by its Charter, is spe-
officially obligated to do.
Collective action is always
to be preferred to unilateral
action, and the U. N. has a
chance to recover lost ground
by calling a special meeting to
devise ways and means Of end
ing the arms race In the Mid
die East. BY exposing fully the
causes of the friction In that
part Of the globe and by plac-
ing all the facts on the table.
a way can then be found to
introduce mediation and moral
suasion-for neither side really
wants a war.

Douglas, Fresh From the Cos Bottle,
Turns to Food Price-Spreod Issue

One big block OF consumers
users of natural gas-got a
break when President Eisen-
hover vetoed the natural gas
bill.
AS well as boosting prices.
this measure would have
meant a big windfall to COM
paratively few big oil COM
panies.
We will hear plenty more
from this blooper by the Texas
leadership of the Democratic
Party in Congress in the COM
ing campaign.
In the issue which now has
followed the natural gas bill
to the Senate f1oor-the farm
bill-politics likewise is deeply
involved, as we are aware. So,
too, is the consumer, this time
in respect to another item in
every family's budget-and the
largest. That is. food.
The farmer who grows the
food has suffered a drop in
income which has the whole
Farm Belt in a ferment and
has turned that area into a big
question mark politically for
the Republican Party. The at
tempt to meet this economic
and politica. emergency quick
ly has resulted In maneuvers
by both parties that have pro-
duced a patchwork bill that
satisfies nobody, including the
major farm organizations.
either as a temporary or long
term solution.
But the idea is to throw
something together that will
appease the farmers--at least
for the next election. which is
as close as November.
AS the farm issue is explored
from the standpoint Of the
farmer at one end and the con-
sumner at the other. we observe
a phenomenon about which we
have heard lots Of debate. but
upon which little light has been
shed. This Is the very consider
able spread between what the
farmer gets for his produce
and what the housewife pays
for it In food at the other END
OF the line. The farmer feels
ne Is getting too little now,
and the housewife feels she is
paying too much.
What causes this great dis
parity? Is 1t increased costs OF
labor for processing, or too big
a profit by various middlemen.
Or both?

In speeches a few weeks ago.
when he was under severe FIRE,
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson laid most Of the
blame on increased wages Of
labor. A study made by the Ag-

stress on labor costs than on
middleman profits.

investigation. This is to be by

Isolationism is dead and
buried in America. Yet we
may become isolated in our at
tempt to prevent the free world
from being engulfed by the
Reds during the progressive
deterioration of the political
conditions in Europe which are
increasingly playing into our
enemies hands. The Sunday
results Of a local election In
Germany and the general cleo
ton in Greece dramatize the
existing trends. These, cou-
pied with a hit-or-miss for
eign policy which gives the
outside world the impression
that the American ship Of
state is without compass or
rudder, give some of our po-
litical men more headaches
than all our immediate domes-
tic problems combined.
Our politicians are reluctant
to place before the public these
facts of life in their full naked
ness, lest they be denounced as
pessimists or defeatists. Yet
they do not doubt-especially
after Marshal Zhukov's speech
last Friday-we are now in an
unprecedentedly difficult posi-
ton.
Before we tangled with the
Axis powers In the last war we
had a cushion between us and
our enemies. The resistance
Of the Western powers which
had been attacked by the to-
talitarians gave us some time
to improve our defenses. We
have endeavored since 1850
to recreate that cushion by or
ganizing the far-flung NATO
and SEATO and by bringing
Germany into a European de-

generally and especially the
pocketbook issues which are
the core OF Republican phi
losophy.
In all this time there has
never been q year when the
Democratic flank has not been
exposed on civil rights. With
its solid South and Its Negro
adherents in the industrial
States. the party could not es-
cape schizophrenia. But the
Republicans never moved In
to put across civil rights and
so lure minorities into their
fold. Behind a facade Of par
tisan words the gentlemen's
agreement held; the words
were never followed by action.
The principal architect Of
this policy through the years
was the late Senator Robert
Taft. His hand-picked sue
cessor. Senator Knowland of
California. has carried it on
Loyalty but he has no influence
at the Eisenhower White
House. Instead the White
House 2 has neglected and
chivied Knowland, played UP
his fellow-Californian. Nixon.
Democrats now expect more
cooperation from Southern
ers and Southwesterners than
they have had in years. They
believe the South will be solid
again and the border States
far safer. It is the silver lining
to their civil rights cloud.

anew that Republicans are get

Such a campaign by the

of the Presidents veto.

Body Con Recover Some Lost Ground
Aetna to Halt Mid-Eost Arms Race

United States should be placed
in the position of being re-
quired to take unilateral &C
ton. Whether Saudi Arabia
gets tanks or Israel gets arms
is not a matter for the Wash
ington Government alone but
for all the nations of the free
world to consider.
Actually. the present crisis
was provoked by the Soviet
Union, which entered into
negotiations to supply Egypt
with arms. This, in turn.
stirred the apprehension of the
people of Israel. A chain reac-
ton has been started which
has aroused, too. the countries
Of the Arab world. All this Is
to the advantage of the Com
munists, who are fishing in
troubled waters.
The solution lies in the
Charter of the United Nations,
which is empowered to take up
any dispute that threatens the
peace of the world. Certainly.
since the Soviet Union has
been guilty of starting an arms
race in the Middle East. a
resolution of censure for this
is long overdue.
The question is broader than
any single country's interests.
The United States Government
wants to remain friendly with
Israel and to furnish economic
aid. But, at the same time,
Saudi Arabia has made avail
able a military base for the use
of the American Air Force.
All this is well known to
Moscow, which plays one side
against the other.
