BIG TURNOUT NEEDED
ON AMENDMENT BALLOT

We think it is important that the amerd-
ments be approved by resounding ma
jority Specifically, they will mean that
the Mississippi coastal region will be
the site of gigantic Standard Oil Cam
pany refinery, which the influx of re-
lated industries an inevitability. The
location of the refinery in our state
has been called Mississippis greatest in
dustry breakthrough.
The new industry will mean hundreds
of additional Jobs in the state. At the
same tirf1e, it will signal the advance of
additional industries into the Magnolia
state.
Simple approval of the proposed amend
ments it not enough, however. At the
same time, only small number of per-
sons voting will not be really effective,
either. Such is true because, even though
our basic document would be altered
soas to attract new INDUSTRIES, we cound
not truthfully say that the people of
Mississippi had been so interested in at
tanning these newcomers that they had
wholeheartedly supported the measure.
An impressive approval of the amend
ments can be significant tool in brine
ing new businesses to our state. Let's
take Holmes County, for instance. If
the polls show a heavy voter approval,
our various industrial procurement
organizations can show the results to
top prospects who, in turn, would sure
w be convinced that our people are will
ing to support any of their endeavors
in our state.
This is one election that every quail
fled voter in each of the 13 precincts
in the county should plan to participate.
1t is certainly not like anv ordinary
election, for it may well influence DOS
sible additional INDUSTRIES to move to
Mississippi.

people allow our leaders to
nibble away bit by bit our
Constitution and deprive the
people of it's rights and free
doms and destroy the Monroe
Doctrine
We have become SO en-
tangled in the middle of fore
ign affairs giving away bill
lions, of the taxpayers money
against their will trying TO
buy friendship ami peace. We
have found to our sorrow that
when we stop palying Santa
Claus, we create enemies.
1.-THE way l see it, we
haven't a friend III the world
and our treasury is almost
empty. Future generations
will be mortgaged from now
until kingdom come. Our ene-
mics are waiting on the side
line, towel in hand ready for
the knockout blow. The enem-
les who will deal the fata. blow
will be the left WingerS and
the Communist n p r e d
groups right here in our
own country.
That blow will surely come
unless someone Wita the wis
dom of a Solo mon rescueS us
and puts us back on the
right road, the road our found
ing fathers built for us in
1776 and that road has no
detours or Short cuts. The
Russians are tryiag to spend
us broke, then they will take
over. We can expect world
turmoil for the rest of our
lives. Its not a very bright
picture but maybe we can
learn to live in it,.
To-day we need a nation
which possesses the spirit Of
the early minute to men. The
events of 1851 are enough to
try mems souls Let us re-
fleet honor on the memory of
the signers of the Declaration
of independence, and the
minute men of the present..
l. Let us show the world the soil
darity of this great nation OF
ours. A first step in the COM
ing todays minute men is
dedication of our patriotic
allegiance to America.
We should, by all means,
contact our representatives in
Congress and have them to

Drug Dart Ends
Bears Bottle in
Los Angeles Zoo

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8 (AP),
Two male polar bears staged
a bitter fight for almost an
hour yesterday at Griffith Park
Zoo.
Police were called and were
poised to fire tear gas when q
tranquilizer dart felled one OF
the bears.
The battle caused the zoo to
close temporarily. It was fought
in the bears open-air enclosure
which is surrounded by a Is
foot moat.
Zookeepers said the aggres-
sor, Ivan, was a 900-pound bear
which killed its mate in a fight
on Saturday.
His opponent today was Bor-
neven, a gentle bear popular
with children. No one noticed
what started the fight.
Zookeepers tried separating
the combatants with high-pres-
sure fire hoses, but it didn't
work. The keepers called police
when they missed with hypo-
dermic darts fired from an ali
gun.
A dart finally hit Ivan and
he fell asleep. Borrower jumped
into his pool for a. swim and
quietly licked his wounds.

Current as
Anesthetic
By the Associated Press

The Army reported today the
successful use of electricity as
an aneSthetic for a human
patient.
1t. Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau,
chief of research and develop
ment. said the experiment was
conducted with none of the
after-effects of other types of
anesthesia."
In a paper prepared for de-
livery to the Association of the
United States Army, Gen Tru-
deau said the. experiments In
electrical aneSthesia were con-
Quoted under Army sponsorship
at the University of Mississippi.
He said electrical impulses
were used so successfully on
animals, to induce anestheSia,
that the procedure was tried
on a human patient.
The results OF this expert
ment were most satisfactory, I"
Gen. Trudeau, added.
The technique involved the
use Of an oScillator or frequency
generator, which provided cur
rent. through an amplifier to
electrodes connected to the pa
tents temples.
by merely turning the cur
rent on, the patient falls asleep
in a matter of seconds, and
the operation may begin" Gen.
Trudeau said.
THE patient remains asleep
as long as the current is ap-
| piled.
THE operation is performed,
and upon completion the cur
rent is turned off; the patient

the Foreign Press Association:
1.-THE danger would lie very
near that a conflict which
started this war would turn into

He said his government has
no signs from the Soviet Union
to indicate Moscow considers
limited war a possibility. But
he again voiced optimism that
a peaceful solution to the Berlin
crisis would be found.

IT can only say that you

would probably be right-that
NATO places a certain conf

Mr.. Adenauer said.
Calling up 10000 men and
the drafting of an additional
5000 men in October for the
normal IL months service
would boost West Germany's
military strength to the NATO
goal Of $4,000 men. Under
normal conditions, this would
have been attained In 1868.
