At the lunch recess no action had
been taken by the board. However.
later that afternoon, the supervisors
voted to two to one to sponsor such
a program in 1860.
Hunters had their say. They
pointed out there had been an
epidemic of mango and that the
fox population had been depleted
somewhat. They also expressed
concern for their dogs getting into
the traps. Some requested payment
for dogs that might be caught.
Others noted that in such a case
every cur in the county would be
pushed into the traps.
Doe Kill Protested
Another matter brought before the
supervisors in the public hearing
was protest against what is known
as doe Day in the Cumberland

practically the only one in the area

estimated that there were between
1000 and l 500 hunters in the state
forest area on January 5. a Doe

concurred in Fleming's protest, but
deferred definite action until its
next meeting. The clerk of the
board was directed to study the
situation with Joe Hayes, superin-

The biggest news for consumers

the overall cost of living index was
reaching an all time high along with

dropped about 20 per cent during

Partisans of both Vice
President Nixon and Senator
Lyndon Johnson are, not too
surprisingly, using an al
most identical query.
The Texans friends are
saying, Really, now, can you
imagine young Jack Ken
nedy, who looks like a COL
lege senior. and who has had
so little experience in nego-
tiations. sitting down at the
bargaining table with Nikita
Khrushchev?"
And the Nixon adherents
are asking, Really, now,
when you look at the De-
mocratic possibilities. can
you imagine any one of them
being anywhere near as we'll
fitted as the Vice President
to negotiate with the Rus
slams in the critical years
ahead?"
Senator Kennedy, who did
change his style of haircut
in order to remove some of
the boyish look, is an able
and intelligent man. True
enough. he does lack the ex-
perience of Adlai Stevenson
or the Vice President. These
are the two best qualified
men for the presidency on
the basis of personal &C
quaintanceship with the
major world problems.
Senator Johnson has quail
ified to deal with domestic
dilemmas by a long and sue
cessful career as a skilled
mechanic with the machin-
cry of government.

Boycotts Could Close Food Service
If Souths Whites Should Follow Suit

The net result of the "sit-
in" demonstrations at lunch
counters in chain stores in
the South may be the aban-
donment of restaurant serv-
ice altogether in those estab-
hshments.
For, now that the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People has
called for a Nationwide boy
colt of chain-store companies
which in their Southern
maintain segregated
lunch counters, a boycott by
whites in the South could
bring an end to the serving
of food by such businesses.
Obviously, two sides can
play at the same game. If
boycotts are to be conducted,
the white patrons may decide
to refrain from buying any,
thing at stores which main
tain integrated lunch count
ers. This could only influence
the owners to go out of the
lunch-serviAg business, which
is, after all, only incidental
to their main trade.
At the moment there seems
to be a confusion between
legal rights at lunch counters
and in school segregation.
City Judge John A. Rudd
of Tallahassee, Fla, in SEN
fencing II Negro demonstra-
tors to fines of $500 each or
so days in jail, ruled that
protests against segregation
at lunch counters in stores
were an attack on the pro-
perty rights of private busi-
ness rather than an "inte-
grafton" campaign.
Gov. Faubus of Arkansas
contributed a bit of satire to
the lunch-counter contro-
versy the other day as, with
tongue in cheek, he said to
George Douthit. staff writer
of the Arkansas Democrat at
Little Rock:
I'm not defending inte-
grafton, but it seems strange
to me that they reject inte-
grafton on Main street in
Little Rock and accept it in
their schools.

Cold Politics of Picking a Winner

Still, in the domestic field,
Senator johnson scores well
ahead of each.
Politics is rarely a matter
of sentiment. 1t is a coldly
pragmatic business. If SEN
tim ent is present. and
doesn't interfere, it can have
its place. And welcome. But
if sentiment gets in the way
it will have it's throat neatly
slit. Almost everyone likes
and admires Senator Ken
nedy.
But the men usually desig-
mated by the trite phrase,
"the old pros" want first of
all to win. In the Democratic
Party the really old pros,
gray of head and nursing a
feeling that things we're bet
ter in the old days, are
strongly supporting a john
son-Kennedy ticket. They
think it is the only one the
party can nominate which
has a chance to win.
They are aware, of course,
that johnson will not be
popular in the large cities of
the East and West. But Ken
nedy will. Senator johnson
will be strong in the South
east, Southwest and West
where Kennedy will not.
This has a lot of money be-
hind it. 1t is sourder than
the logic.
President Eisenhower has
thrown his full Endorsement
behind the Vice President.
He is, the President says, his
first and only choice for the
nomination. Mr.. Nixon was
tough before this was said.
1t would be folly to think it
does not make him tougher.
Mr.. Eisenhower may have
helped the Johnson Kennedy
old pros.
