BeoII Questions
Spucemun's S Feat

Senator Beall, Republican of
M aryland, today questioned
whether Soviet Maj. Gherman
Titov actually made a space
flight around the earth as re-
ported.
If they (the Russians) have
nothing to hide, why the rigid
curtain of secrecy?" demanded
Senator Beall, a member of the
Senate Armed Service Commit
tee.
The voice from the orbitipg
satellite, he said, could have
been produced by tape record
ings. He also noted conflicting
reports of how the space ship
landed-some claiming it de-
scended under its own power
while others said it was sus-
pended from a parachute. He
added:
Some think it quite possible
that the Soviets simulated the
whole flight it's incredible
that the pilot would actually
sleep eight hours, as reported,
while engaged on such q haz-
ardous and momentous under
taking"

ECHOES &
ENCORES
by
Irwin Ashkenozy

Some folks say that those quiz
show scandals last year cut
down public confidence in
American broadcasting cleaner
than Gorge Washington's
cherry tree. One political pundit
called it conspiracy to deceive
the public in order to sell adj
vertising." That may be. But it
seems to me that entertainment
and advertising have gone hand
finland for mighty long time.
Look at Samson when he was
the featured attraction of that
Philistine fiesta. He took two
columns and brought down the
house.
One Congressman commended
a contestant for his courage in
telling the truth. Courage is a
fine thing, but it often gets a
lot of credit that belongs to cold
feet. With their current indict-
ment, however, I'll confess that
! can't help but feel sorry for
some of those contestants. Their
money, after taxes and lawyers
fees, is mostly dissipated, some
have lost their jobs, all have
travelled regulations. About the
only thing they've got left is ex-
perience. Which is what you
have left when everything else
is gone.

Watch On Potomac

\ to destroy the Kennedy image:
A story is circulating here,
put out by Byrd's friends, that
Kennedy and Johnson paid q
call on the Virginia solon not
long after the nominating con-
vention. They wanted Byrd's
support, so the story goes. But
Byrd countered with a long
harangue on the parts of the
platform to which he objected.
He concentrated much of his
fire on a plank that was close
to the heart of the trade union
movement, that is, the platform
pledge to work for repeal of the
so-called fright to work" laws.
Besides Byrd, Kennedy and
Johnson, Sen. Smathers of Flor
ida was also said to have been
present at the conference.
Arthur Krock of The New
York Times makes this flat as
sertion:
Senator Kennedy, with the
concurrence of his running
mate and in the presence also of
Sen. Smathers of Florida, then
informed Byrd that the Admin
istration would not include the
repeal in its legislative pro-
gram"
Byrd, so the story goes, then
decided not to attack the ma
tional ticket as he did four years
earlier. He simply did not sup
port 1t this year.
There is big argument now
as to whether this pledge was
ever given Byrd or not. The
only way that argument really
will be resolved is to see what
the Senate Democrats do about
honoring the "right-to-work"
plank and also whether Byrd's

1t seems fruitless for the
Democrats to quarrel about who
said what to whom. Action, not
words, will determine who
knows the score.
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1961-02-23

close returns were in that the
old-line Dixie Democrats would
begin to exert pressure on
President-elect Kennedy to 60
slow, initiate no domestic social
legislation, call halt on civil
rights activity and merely give
the nation a pale imitation of
Eisenhower Republicanism.
No one here has any doubt
that this was the advice being
given to the new President by
friends of Lyndon B. Johnson,
if not Johnson himself. Certain
columnists who are regarded as
rejecting the johnson view
point have burst into print with
all sorts of gratuitous advice to
Kennedy.
Summed up, 1t was simply:
Don't listen to the advanced
liberals"
That phrase advanced lib
erals" is supposed to be abso-
lutely devastating rhetoric.
However, it was Sen. Harry
F. Byrd of Virginia who chose
to throw down the gauntlet to
Kennedy. He defied the Senate
liberals to kick him out as
chairman of the powerful Sen
ate Finance Committee, which
has proved to be the graveyard
of important social legislation
since the mid-30s.
Byrd's pretext for bringing
the fight out in the open was a
plea by Sen. Joseph Clark Cd.
Pa.), to his acknowledgements,
that they denote from the
Craftsmanship those who failed
to support" the national ticket.
Since Sen. Jim Eastland of
Mississippi did give verbal sup
port to the national ticket, it
was reasonable of Byrd to as
sumo that he was the man Clark
had in mind.
Why Byrd chose to wrap him
self in a mantle of martyrdom
is unclear. But what is clear
is that he wants to rally the ma
tons conservatives around him.
If the Senate liberals should in
sist on unseating him as chair
man of the Finance Committee,
Byrd would replace Sen. Barry
Goldwater as the hero of the
right-wing.
Since heroics Is not some
thing usually associated with
economic die-hards, suspect
that there is something more
behind the Byrd maneuver.
NO MANDATE" AND NO
"IMAGE"-Whats going on, I
believe, is a concerted effort to
destroy the powers of the Presi-
dent-elect before he takes Of
flee. Because of the practically
even popular electoral division
the conservatives think they
have better than $3.50 chance
of succeeding.
The first propaganda move
on the part of the right-wing
was to say the returns prove
there is mo mandate" for i'm
portant domestic social welfare
legislation.

GIRL SCOUTS:
I had a call from a girl scout
mother complaining about Mrs.
Wallis Schutt acting as one of
the Directors of the Central
Mississippi Girl Scout Leader
ship Training Course here. The
state office did not put her pic
ture or name in the paper but
she was there and busy. l sug-
gested she get other scout moth
ers and form a telephone COM
mittee. Call the state office
every hour for a few days COM
planning.
The Jackson Daily News car
ried an article headed RETARDED
Children Feted with Initial So
cial Hour" It stated Mrs. Schutt
and members of senior Girl
Scouts assisted in the entertain
ment. This fits into the program
of "The Little Red School
House" movement.
According to J. B. Matthews,
researcher Randolph B.
Smith has been National Direc-
tor of the Little Red School
House. His communist record is
significant. On September "a,
1852, Randolph B. Smith was a
witness before the Internal Sc
curity Subcommittee. In re-
Spouse to a question as to
whether or not he had ever used
an alias, Mr.. Smith invoked the
5th amendment" Mr.. Matthews
listed thirty-one (31) citations
in Randolph B. Smiths public
record.
And proceeding from that
report above to the citizens
councils, Mrs. McCorkle re-
lated as to how the Women's
Division was going. All
seemed well, according to the
report.
