these years were spent in Public
Health. Since 1924 he has been
director of the Bureau of Vital
Statistics and Assistant Secretary
of the Mississippi State Board Of
Health. He developed the Bureau
until it became a pattern for study
for many outsiders and particularly
for students from foreign coun-
tries. Many other accomplishments
are his and many honors have
come his way through the years.
The Mississippi funeral directors
are most grateful to DR.. Whitfield
and his staff for their excellent
cooperation through the years in
the matter of registration of
deaths. The idea of presenting DR..
Whitfield an expression of appre-
citation was originated by Mr.. Ber-
nard L. Wade, manager of Frazier
& Collins Funeral Home. DIR. Whit
field seemed most appreciative of
the Associations acceptance of the
idea and the honor of the silver
goblet. Mr. H. c. Latham Of La
than Funeral Home, in choosing
the goblet as the associations gift
hoped that other groups might give
additional engraved goblets from
Strauss-Stallings Jewelry Store to
complete this set.
Charles Stringer of Clarksdale,
Miss. was elected president of the
association to succeed Henry
Strayhorn of Meridian, Miss, who
is hospitalized at Mayo Clinic,
Rochester, MINI.
For the first time, Ladies Aux
Hilary was organized. 1t will be
the function of this group to slim
ulate interest in the association on
the part of wives of funeral home
owners, secretaries, clerks, recep-
tionists, lady attendants and wo-
men associated with funeral homes

the department would join, as
friend Of the court, in an appeal
from the ruling Of Judge Harry J.
Lemley. W. Wilson White, Assist
ant Attorney General in charge of
the Civil Rights Division, said in
Philadelphia that this idea would
be considered.
Local Reaction A Factor
Some officials indicated privately
that such intervention was un-
likely, because of adverse local
reaction that would follow. But
others argued that the Federal
Government, because of the world
attention on the Little Rock situa-
ton, would have to play a part.
The Justice Department did in
tervene in the Little Rock situation
last fall as a friend of the court.
But it did so en- the express invi-
tation of Judge Ronald N. Davies,
to help in the enforcement of his
Indignation orders.
The department, and President
Eisenhower as we'll, maintained
that the intervention at that time
was solely to support the authority
of the Federal courts.
Now, in effect, the court in Little
Rock has changed its orders be-
cause of local resistance and no
longer needs support from the Ex-
ecutive Branch.
Justic Department officials were
not exactly surprised by Judge
Lemley's ruling. They said the
evidence at the hearing he held
was stacked deep" with state
ments by teachers and the school
board that discipline could not eff
fectively be maintained under the
pressures from neutrality-suspicious..
The officials were evidently con-
cerned at the implications of the
retreat from Indignation in Little
Rock. Whatever the reasons, they
pointed out, the fact was that
Governor Orval E. Faubus' resist
ance to court orders had succeeded
in the long run in changing those
orders.
The Little Rock case, like all
Indignation lawsuits, is between
private parties-the Negro chill
dren on the one side and the school
beard on the other. Barring Fed
eral participation, the legal steps
are now up to lawyers for the Me-
gro children.

JAPAN "BUYS AMERICAN" IN MISSISSIPPI
AND IN ALL THE as STATES
Survey Each Benefited with japan

WASHINGTON, D. CA re-
port provocatively entitled Jap
an Buys American in All 48
States" has just been released by
the United States-Japan Trade
Council.
The 12-page report of charts,
graphs and text summarizes an
exhaustive state-by-state survey.
The surveys purpose was to esti-
mate how much leach of the
states shared Immediately in the
benefits from the 1921, 100000
worth of commodities exported
by the United States to Japan in
1857"
Texas with $105 million worth
of commodities was the top ex-
porter, but every other state
made substantial shipments (see
map).
The report points out that, al
though Japan is fairly we'll
known as our best customer Sec
ond only to Canada, not many
Americans realize the nature and
value of exports to Japan from
their own state.
The 10 chief commodities ex-
ported to Japan in 1857 were Tin
millions of dollars) ~ Iron and
steel mill products $241.l, Raw
cotton $217.3, Industrial machin-
cry $121, Grains $113, Soybeans
& other oilseeds 500, Petroleum
& products $59.1, Bituminous
coal 1888, Copper & products
$49.4, Chemicals 1857, Inedible
animal oils $19.6.
In releasing these figures, the
Trade Council made two import
ant points: First. that Japan's
U. S. purchases have shot up
dramatically, by 200 per cent,
since 1850 : and not simply in
several but in all categories of
products; second, that Japan in
1857 bought more than twice as
much from, as it sold to. the
United States.

Westminster Choir, appearing
here at that time, has earned
fame far beyond its native
shores. Travelling under the
guidance and direction of it's
indefatigable conductor, DR..
John Finley Williamson, this
organization has appeared in
most of the key cities of Eu-
rope, Asia, the Orient, Canada

the late President Franklin D.

honor. More recently, West

eve of their departure, DR..

Westminster Choir celebrating
the beginning of their world
concert tour, / send greetings.
You have been chosen to rep
