missiles uCBMs). They go too
rapidly. Russia will not fire these
ICBM missiles until she has a
stock of practical sure-hit anti
missile missiles. Nations may
talk about going to the moon
or DRIFTING the earth but they
are working day and night to
make an anti-missile missile.
SOVIET TESTS
The purpose of the present
testing by Russia is to make
an antimissile missile. 1t would
be impossible to make these
tests underground. The big atom
ic and hydrogen bombs Khrush-
chev talks about are only bluff
to take our minds off of what he
is really doing.
OF course, these anti-missile
missile are very expensive. We
are supposed to be carrying on
our tests in the Pacific Ocean,
under the Nike Hercules defense
system. The best offense and de-
Tense which the Russians would
now have would be to send UP a
number of decoys. since we
would be unable thus far to tell
one from the real missile, which
could be launched from Poland.

party spirit among Southern
Democrats.
More basic, hoWey yer, mas
been the continuing rift between
Southern Democrats and the ma
tiOnal Democratic party. with its
attendant pickering and sectional
animOsities. AS DR.. Carlisle
points out, this has resulted in
periodic breakdOWns in com
municati0n between Democratic
spokesman on the state and ma
tional levels. with the gap being
bridged. in most instances, only
by Democratic office : holders
such as governors. senator's. and
U. S. representatives.
A major question which now
arises in the minds Of political
scientists is whether the same
sort of regional rift will develop
within whatever Republican es-
tablishment may be set up in
the South. Since the Republicans,
like the Democrats, embrace
widely-separated points of view
ranging along the liberal-con-
sentative spectrum, it seems
logical to expect that some of
the Democrats problems will be
shared BY the Republicans.
Another question which enters
the picture is the attitude of the
Democratic liberals toward their
Southern party bre thren. Or.
Carlisle is convinced that many
such liberals are perfectly will
ing to see the bulk Of Southern
Democrats 60 Republican, go in
dependent, or simply go away
anything to get them out of a
party which in the liberals
view NJ has been held back by
the South. Action along this line
undoubtedly would please the Re-
publicanS and strengthen their
accent on the conservatism"
appeal Of the COP.
Other questions which relate to
the general picture of political
reorganization in the South in
clude these:
Can the Democrats raise the
level OF voting among the lower
economic groups. which ira
ditionally have been a source of
Democratic party strength?
Will the new "respectability'
OF the Republican party in the
South continue to attract sup
porters who respond to the an
peal OF breaking with the past?
What impact will the fringe
groups OF segregationists, inte-
grationists. militant patriots and
similar organizations have on the
fortunes of both parties?
Whatever the answers to all
these and other questions, the
political scientists are convinced
that the South offers them a fer

wishes to capture us as a "go-
ing concern" This is to get the
benefit not only of our factories
but also of our climate and
geography. Although Russia is
double the area of the United
States. yet she has much less
land suitable for crops. A very
large portion of Russia is too
cold. too dry, and too salty for
agriculture. Almost all of the
Soviet Union is farther north
than the Canadian-U S. border.
Russia has no FLORIDA" Even
Yalta is as far north as Mime
sofa. All this means that Rus
STA has shorter growing sea
sons.
Whether the forced organiza-
ton into big cooperatives has
more than offset the lack of in

er 1 do not know. When I was
in Russia I was told that in
addition to being a part Of a big
cooperative each farmer is given
a little patch for personal gard
en-. This is another reason why I
do not now fear that the Russians
will drop any nuclear bomb on
the United States.
I am an optimist. I even be-
lieve that the present war scare
will increase consumer buying

OF saving money now?" This is
a special reason why I believe

BabsOn Bullish On Retail Trade

BABSON PARK. Mass. Nov. 9
AT the present time most
Americans seem to believe that
there will be a nuclear war and
that Russian missiles may fall
on some United States city and
absolutely destroy it. To the con-
trary. am for the first time
sure there will be no such war.
l suppose one reason why the
people are now taking this so
seriously is because their broth
erS and neighbors are being cal
led into the service and are be-
ing transported to Berlin. Every
magazine has pictures of our
soldiers in Berlin. Naturally,
those with relatives over there
study these pictures. Well, here
are two main reasons why we
should not now expect such a
World War III.
ANTI-MILLILE MISSILES
We have already made great
progress on "Nike-eus' mis-
siles to intercept and destroy
airplanes coming toward us. The
fastest bombers go only 1000 to
1000 miles an hour. hence it is
fairly easy to prepare a mis-
sile that will catch and destroy
them. Moreover, our country is
surrounded by a bank of radar
installations. These are supposed
to find any Russian planes fly
ing through the radar banks and
give our country at least twenty
minutes notice of what to expect.
The principle is that a nike
Zeus" would throw a beam into
the air, and when it intercepts
an incoming enemy plane it
would explode it. The "Nike-Zeus
would not need to hit the in

to attend Baptist Young Peoples
Union meeting. He was the guest of
Mr.. Matthews, one of the best farmers
in Southside Virginia Rising early in
the morning, the farm boy slipped out
OF the house and found an Utopian
farm. Tobacco was high enough to hide
him, and the corn field was large
enough and tall enough to lose him.
Finally his host came to find him in the
corn field. what are you doing here?",
he was asked. II was at the end of this
row praying that someday would grow
tobacco like this and have such corn
field
The young farm boy returned to his
nome lmbued with the ambition to be-
come farmer like Mr.. Matthews. He
worked his way through prep school,
through college, through v P l., never
losing his love for the soil nor his amb-
ton for success.
Needless to say, he reached his goals.
Not only did his farm produce the best
OF crops, but he spent much of his life
teaching others, and working for the
betterment Of agriculture in Southside
Virginia. He was principal of Burkeville
High school for many years; he served
on agricultural boards, and national
farm boards. He contributed his all to
the development of agriculture and

OF all the questions hurled
at the astronauts one that has
been left unanswered is: On
what basis was Alan B. Shep-
ard, jr., chosen to make the
first flight?
The answer: The evidence of
hidden resources remaining un-
tapped after the heaviest de-
mandS.
The astronauts have side
stepped an answer either from
unwillingness to discuss it or
because they have not been
told the real basis for the final
decision.

Mercury program declined to

one concession to the animal

AS far as entertaining and
party going are concerned,
the Connallys will probably
follow the suit of other ad-

are shaking down into their

on the moderate side. "You
