Letters

New York, N Y.
Dear Mr. East,
AS a botaniSt the name of your
paper attracted my attention i'm
mediately However, frankly I
had never heard of Petal, Missis-
sippi in my life. Read the paper
for some time before it suddenly
struck me that Petal was a town.
Since found the paper in Nor
phogenesis" laboratory (where I
cannot say or the institution
would be involved and it is a
government Commission), ! as
sumed that it was a plant jour
nal of some kind =.
Then / saw an add from the
Petal Drug Store, and light bulb
glowed ;. this was a towns pa
peri You must surely think / am
slow witted; you are not really
totally incorrect, for that matter.
But even with slow wits it was
not difficult to find your edi-
torials absolutely wonderfully
honest. You slice thru lies like a
microtome thru parafin q am a
botanist and we use the micro
tome for slicing thru paraffin). In
slicing you leave a section of the
material sliced which is more
easily understood and exposes the
remaining material to the open
air and to the eye and mind.
/ note that you have little
book of your editorials for the
amount which our American dol
lar is usually quoted as being
worth. With the next post Twill
send you this amount for l should
more than love to read them.
Thank you for changing some
of my opinions of the South, some
of the embarrassment which |
feel for part of our Nation.
Things are not as black as they
seem when we have Americans
in the South like you.
Respectfully,
Lawrence j. Crockett.

THE REAL EISENHOWER =
It's sometimes difficult at the
Presidents press conferences to
tell when he is expressing his
own ideas or voicing somebody
elses. There are times when the
President looks puzzled and
scratches his ear, that he is, in
fact, least puzzled. At other times
when he is rafting off something
on which he has been "briefed"
it's obvious he is moving In UNI
familiar waters.
After four years of covering his
weekly news conferences we
readily confess to our continuing
bewildernent on this point. But
we think-and mind you, histo-
rians may prove this is totally
wrong-that it was the real
Eisenhower who got off the fol-
lowing comment on the right-to-
vote:
Ii IN every locallty every
person otherwise qualified, or
qualified under the laws of the
State to vote, is permitted to vote
he has got a means of taking care
of himself and his group, his
class.
t'IIe has got means of getting
what he wants in democratic gov
eminent, and that is the one on
which ! place the greatest en-
phasis."
In other words, the President
was trying to cut through the
carefully contrived confusion Gre
