she could not quickly recover. "
The study said this weakness
also might partly explain Soviet
warlike behavior in the postwar
years and her enslavement of
such satellite countries of dubi-
GUS economic assets such as
East Germany and Hungary.

ers," the bulletin observes, "are
better than no workers at all. "
1t also may explain that
widespread use in Russia of
women in all kinds of labor was
due as much to the manpower
shortage as to any desire for
the emancipation of women.
Base for Victories
The population blackout and
"poker-p playing bluff" plus "a
sense of intense compulsion and
dedicated spirit" the study
said, contributed to the force
which won for Russia many
postwar concessions and diplo-
matte victories"
The new Russian figures in
dicate a population increase of
SO million over the 1899 census.
Less than 20 million of this was
attributed to territorial annexa-
tons.
While the women vastly out
number the men, the sex ratio,
| it was reported, is now evening
out.
The new Soviet figures also
dispel the idea of Russia being
a vast nation of agricultural
peasants. Now 48 per cent of
the population is urban, with
a growing shift, both urban
and rural, beyond the Urals.

The course of history might
have been changed if Western
powers had not overestimated
Russia's manpower resources
and if the Soviet leaders had
not carried out a "poker-play-
ing bluff" to conceal the de-
cimation of her male popula-
ton after World War II, a pop
ulation study suggested today
The study was based on Rus
sian population figures made
available for the first time since
1896 showing that the USSR
population in January was 208.8
million, with women outnum-
, bering men. IS to IS per cent

The figures indicated, &C.
cording to the July issue
Of Population Bulletin, that
Russia suffered a loss of IS mil
lion to 20 million males from all
causes during World War II
more than twice the casualties
previously estimated.
At the end of the war, the
figures reveal, Russia had only
about Is million able-bodied
males between the ages Of 20
to IS. About 10 million OF
these were modified for mill
tary service which helped the
Russians, the study suggests,
carry out the bluff which has
played an important, if not
decisive role in shaping West

bound TO be a skunk in the woodpile up at Ole Miss.
But it is strange, indeed, how some of the Bar

are believing loud and strong In the defense of

Professors who walk through the hallowed halls of
Die Miss and who have been molding the minds of
our young people up there, all have lly-white souls
and are above reproach.
In their defense of Dear Ole Prof they would
have you think the two gentlemen from Holmes

SIXTH RELEASE

Released Friday, July "a, 1859
DR.. James w. Silver, chairman
Of the Department of History at the
University since 1916, is, by his own
admission, a Socialist. In 1855, at
the beginning of the first semester
in one of his history classes, DR..
Silver stated to his class II am a
Socialist, and I don't give a d.
who knows it." At the time, several
of the students in the class were
taking notes of the lecture, where
upon DR.. Silver told the class that
no notes were to be taken.
One student, who has studied
under DR.. Silver reports that HE
is one of the most anti-Southern
individuals I have ever met" An
other student states that "Dr. Sill
e curses the South for the War Of
Independence"
According to the Commercial Ap-
peal of November IL, 1855 DR..
Silver took a prominent part in the
21st Annual Meeting of the South
ern Historical Association at the
Peabody Hotel In Memphis. Dur
ing the meeting William Faulkner
delivered his famous Shame or
Segregation" speech to a racially
mixed audience.
In 1856, at a historical meetinc
held in North Carolina, DR.. Silver

bulletin stated. Hourly earnings
in bread-baking and similar
establishments are 80 per cent
more than they were 10 years
ago. Fringe benefits have in
creased ninefold."
The baker received 1872 cents
for a pound loaf Of bread last
year, as an average. The retail
margin, according to USDA, was
81 cents. The baker retained
~nine-tenths of a cent as a profit
before taxes, less than one half
cent per loaf after taxes.
A separate study made by the
Departments Agricultural Mar
keting Service showed that the
profits of six leading baking COM
panies have declined AZ per cent
ON the basis of sales during the
10 year period. Profits decreased
from 4 per cent Of sales in 1948
to $50 last year.
The report stated that even if
the farmer had donated his
wheat, white bread would still
have cost consumers about II
cents per loaf (retaiD in 1885,"

which quoted a lady editor from South Mississippi
who criticized Mr.. White and Mr.. Hooker for releas-
ing the investigation to the press before the Board
Of Trustees had a chance to study it."
Actually, if the lady would have checked before
making such a statement she would have learned
that the Board had the investigation in their hands
last November.
We note, with pride, that our own Holmes County
Bar Association has passed a resolution endorsing Mr..
White and Mr.. Hooker las men of unquestioned
honor and integrity, and loyal to, and jealous in the
preservation of, the principles and ideals of the
people of Mississippi" a fact that we here in
Holmes County have known for a long time.
AS a newspaper editor, we deem it not only a
service to our readers, but a necessity that we
print this entire investigation in order that the public
can see for themselves what is happening at Ole
Miss and to build a guard against subversive teach
ings that will certainly endeavor to hammer away
the defense of our ideals and our way of life.

Agricultural Marketing Service study Of selected bakeries showed net
profit otter taxes at less than one-hoE cent per pound.

Increased operational costs in
the bakery and -four mill are
responsible for the higher price
of bread, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
A USDA bulletin, Marketing
Margins for White Bread" points
out that bread prices have in
creased 80 per cent in the past
10 years. The study disclosed
that the cost of bread ingredients
has remained fairly constant dur
ing the past decade. The cost Of
wheat to the miller in 1948 av-
eraged 2.8 cents per pound loaf
Of bread, and the same in 1858.
The cost of -four to the baker
rose from 3.5 cents in 1948 to 3.6
cents last year.
The survey shows that the
farmers share of the consumer
bread dollar for all agricultural
products used in bread has de-
clined from "a per cent in 1913 to
16 per cent last year.

the democratic form of government.
This is subversive and dangerous
doctrine for at least three reasons:
/. 1t challenges the fundamen-
tai principle that forms the basis
of all republics, which requires all

consent of the people, and to fol-
low this doctrine will surely lead
us to totalitarianism;

which provides that "AIl Legislative

similar support given those cases
