Acreage cuts within the past
three years have been so sharp
that our cotton farmers are only
getting .54T of parity of income
as compared to 1853. Acreage cuts
have resulted in severe loss in
farm population, lowered farm in
come and inefficient use of land,
labor and capital.
Senator Stennis pointed out that
yields are increasing at such a
rapid rate that present law will
force the national allotment to
12.5 million acres or less in the
next few years. Our farmers can
not continue to operate under
law which cuts both price and
acreage at the same time, and l
will continue my fight to increase
cotton acreage

Navy Has New
|CACP Program

Sorrow at the death of men,
Der of ones family is an emotion
that knows little reason yet
sound business management OF
many affairs occasioned by tn e
death is always involved.
The United States Navy has
evolved tried and proven pro-
gram to absorb many details that
face the survivors of deceased
member of the Naval Service.
1t is called the Casualty Assis-
lance Calls Program-or' "CACP."
CACP is designed to ease the
burden of survivors during this
period of distress by assuming
most of the responsibility for the
myriad of intricate details neces-
stated by the various official doc
uments concerned with any serv-
! ice man or woman. ~
/ At Sixth Naval District Head
quarters, U. S. Naval Base, Char
lesion, the man who directs the
CACP for the seven Southeastern
States under the command lof
Rear Admiral George c. Craw-
ford, District Commandant, is
Captain w. E. Kaitner, Assistant
Chief of Staff for Personnel.
Whenever word is received of
the death of Naval person on
active duty, Captain Kaitner ini-
tiates a message to the Naval ac-
tivity nearest to the residence of
the next of kin. From there, a
specially designated Casualty As
sistance Calls Officer takes over.
That officer may be a Navy
chaplain, or he may be an officer
of the line or of any staff corps.
He is an officer well versed in the
CACP Manual, which spells out
the details the survivors would
need to know.
The question of shipment of re-
mains, and burial, usually is the
first concern. Whether they travel
by rail or by plane; whether the
destination is a government GEM
etery, or a private one, must be
decided. The CACP Officer plans
all this in accordance with the
wishes of the designated next Of
kin.
Every Naval district in the Unit
ed States follows the organized
plan of CACP, which began ex-
| perimentally in the Fifth Naval
District in early 1854. The Navy
ON July l, 1855 officially adopted
the progra mfor. all Naval Dis
ricts in the United States.

Toronadoes
And What Can Be
Done About Them
By George v. Fish

People often speak OF TORNADO
frequencies with respect to local
areas-cities, counties and states.
Statistics compiled by the Wealth
er Bureau for approximately the
last forty years indicate that by
the end of each October in Mis-
sissippi the total monthly number
of tornado occurrences increases.
The peak increase is reached in
March; followed by a sloww de-
crease through April and May,
decreasing more rapidly in June.
Few tornadoes occur in July
through October in Mississippi.
Regardless of the season in which
they occur, tornadoes can and do
destroy, MAIN and kill if they are
not expected or if there is no plan
to provide for relative safety
when they pass over local areas.
Some property destruction
seems to be inevitable in the
paths of tornadoes. The frame
works of modern REINFORCED
buildings in some hard-hit cities
have stood without major struc-
tural damage after tornado winds
swept over them. Lesser struc-
lures were largely demolished by
the same winds. If no storm shell
ter underground is available, it
seems that the ground floors of
buildings, against the walls near
est the approaching storm, are the
best place for human shelter and
safety. Railways, in reinforced
buildings afford good shelter.
How can one know when tor
nadoes are likely to occur? The
weather conditions in which they
are most likely to occur are now
recognized by the Weather Bu-
reau. Wi1ss these conditions an
pear, forecasts are issued for Sc
we're thunderstorms, which often
precede or accompany most tor
nodic< winds. If it appears that
conditions likely to produce tor
nadoes will accompany the thun-
derStorm threat, reference to pos
sible or probable tornado occur
ence is made in the forecast. The
area in which tornadoes are most
likely to occur is specified and
