A reader phones to ask why
Governor Ross Barnett didn't
wire Senator Harry Byrd of Vir-
ginia for federal assistance for
MissisSippi's unfortunate flood
victims. (Sen. Byrd was given
Mississippi's eight electoral votes,
remember?)
We are glad President Kenne-
dy responded SO generously and
so promptly to Governor Bar
nett's plea for assistance. There
are some things over which man
has no control and floods are one
of them.
It is good that we have a
nation of people and a govern
ment that doesn't ask how a man
voted before we rescue him from
drowning.
The Mississippi National Guard
and the American Red Cross de-
serve the highest commentator
for the way they have respond
