While the Vice President
would, as the presidential
nominee of his party, well
come any and all electoral
votes, it is very dubious, in
deed, that he will be helped
by any more Mississippi
newspaper editorials such as
the one which recently in
dorsed him.
The editorial concluded
that Mr.. Nixon had support
ed labor legislation much
less enthusiastically and fire.
quently than Senator Ken
nedy, and that he also was
running on a platform much
less offensive than the one
produced by the Democrats
at Los Angeles. The latter
inference is that the Mis-
sissippi editor views Mr..
Nixon as less in support of
civil rights programs than
Senator Kennedy.
The indorsing editorial
was a coherent, if strange.
piece of logic until the last
several paragraphs. Here it
seemed the writer somehow
lost his grip. His conclusion
was that if the grandfathers
and, even the great-grand-
fathers, of preSent-day Mis-
sissippians were alive they
would desert the ranks of the
butternut gray and demon
strate in Mr.. NiXon's paradeS.
This causes one to reach
nervously for the bottle
labeled Cum Grano Sails"
But, still, perhaps the edi-
torialist is right. He may
know the mind of Mississippi
equally as well as Gov. Ross
Barnett, who is crying a
plague on both houses, or the
loyalists who want President
Truman to speak in Missis-
sippi on behalf of Senator
Kennedy. But all will pardon

me. I am sure, if I doubt the
rows of the ghostly Con-
federate troops in Mississippi
have broken ranks and joined
the G. o. P. parade.
Two clarifying comments
are necessary. 1t is hardly
fair now to attack Mr.. Nix
on's vote on legislation in
any field. For eight years he
has been presiding over the
Senate. He is permitted to
vote only when there is a
tie. He has thereby been
excluded from casting votes
in the general controversial
legislative debates which have
occupied the Senate in that
extensive span Of years.
The Vice President was in
there trying when he had
constitutional permission. 1t
was he who made the original
parliamentary ruling against
the Southern bloc which per-
mitted the first reform of
Senate rules. This mad8 the
filibuSter less absolute. He
was never believed to be per-
sonally in agreement with the
Presidents moderate position
on civil rights. Certainly his
close associate, the Attorney
General of the United States,
was not. And. at Chicago,
Mr.. Nixon himself sought out
and seemingly welcomed the
meeting with Gov. Rookie
feller which enabled him, out
of political necessity, to break
with the White House and, in
effect, become his own man.
So, it is inaccurate and
politically unfair for Missis-
sippi, or anyone else, to pic
ture the Vice President as in
an anti-position on labor or
- civil rights in any comparison
of votes cast or platforms &C
cepted.

that term is used in the
Chicago convention.
The convention does not de-
fine 'airspace' or any equiva-
lent term. There is wide
agreement that there must be
an upper limit to national
sovereignty. There Is, how
ever, no agreement on what
that limit should be. The pro-
posed upper limits to national
sovereignty all seem more or
less arbitrary. Neither physi-
cal conditions nor flight char
acteristics can be reason
ably related to any fixed
altitude. Under most pro-
poSals, sovereignty would
end at the top of the atmos-
phere. This is sometimes
taken to be the biological
limit for man without special
equipment"
Mr.. Beresford then goes on
to point out that the U-2 is
designed to fly at a height of
more than IL miles which
is higher than man can
breathe and beyond the boil
ing altitude of water at body
temperature" and "for hu-
man survival above that
point, breathing apparatus
must be supplemented by a
pressure suit"
There is no customary in

the situation, as this assumes,
according to Mr.. BereSford,

ton of unbroken precedentS

bility of one another's air
space" He points out that
freedom of the seas" did
not become a generally-ac-
cepted principle of interna-
tional law for hundreds of
years"
Mr.. Beresford makes the
further point that the bounds
of sovereignty "are set by
the principle of effective con-
troll" He continues:
The Soviet Union appears
to have accepted effective
control as the limit Of its
three-dimenSional sovereignty

Is Francis Powers really
a spy in a legal sense under
international law?
For the first time someone
from the United States has
revealed that the whole case
against him rests on a f1imsy
basis.
Spencer M. Beresford, spe-
cial counsel for the Commit
tee on Science and Astro-
nautics of the United States
House of Representatives, has
Just delivered at Stockholm.
Sweden, a noteworthy speech
before the 18th annual
congress of the Interna-
tional Astronomical Fedora
tion. Though he says his
observations on this subject
are personal and not official" ,"
he demolishes the Soviet ar
gument that Francis Powers
is a spy or is guilty of espio-
mage in the sense that the
term is customarily used in
legal circles.
Mr.. BereSford makes the
point that no country. in
Guiding the Soviet Union,
has officially objected to the
launching of satellites, in
cluding the surveillance We
hicles known as Tiros and
Midas. He says that the in
ternational agreement on
civil aviation approved in
Chicago in 1914 was not
signed by the Soviet Union
and hence its provisions are
not binding on the United
States with respect to air
space over Russia. But even
the Chicago agreement, he
insists, does not cover the
present type of aircraft used,
He adds:
There are persuasive rea-
sons for challenging the view
that the U-2 flights over So
Wet territory were violations
of international law. 1t seems
necessary to stress, in parti-
cular, that there is no appli-
cable agreement between the
United States and the So
Wet Union concerning the use
of airspace. We may in
quire also whether the U-2

then the cost properly may
