The final four Rangers will try
to take television pictures OF
the moon up to the point OF
impact.
Information Needed
Mr.. Burke said the Ranger
series would provide four diff
ferent kinds of information
that men will need before they
land on the moon:
/. Cameras will tell what the
surface of the moon is like.
2. A radar altimeter will show
the hardness of the moons
surface.
3. A spectrometer to analyze
radiations from the moon will
tell what chemicals and metals
are in its crust.
4. A seismometer, in addition
to recording quakes, also will
count how frequently the moon
is hit by large meteorites.

Mr.. Kennedy announced Sep
TENDER 5 that he had ordered
resumption of nuclear tests, in
the laboratory and under
ground, with no fallout, be-
cause Russia had resumed test
ing.
Russia yesterday triggered
its 10th nuclear blast in two
weeks and fired a powerful new
rocket more than 7,400 miles
into the Central Pacific.
The Soviet News agency Tass
said the rocket, launched from
an undisclosed site Wednes-
day, landed less than five
eighths of a mile from target.
The latest Russian atmos-
pheric nuclear blast was set
off yesterday in the Arctic. 1t
had an explosive force equiva-
lent to several million tons of
TINT and was the third big
explosion in the current series.
Since Russia broke it's test
ing moratorium at the start of
this month, the Soviet nuclear
explosions have been an almost
daily occurrence.
The rocket test had been
awaited since Russia earlier
this month warned shipping
away from the target area,
about 1000 miles southwest of
Hawaii.
This was the first in a series
Of tests to try out more power

James D. Burke, manager OF
Project Ranger, which is the
United States space agency's
first effort to send a rocket to
the moon.
IF we're lucky enough to get
one of the first three moon
bound Rangers to its destina-
ton we'll be happy" Mr.. Burke
said at the first public showing
of the moon capsule.
Vehicles Are Identical
That, he said, is why the first
three lunar aimed Ranger We
hicles are identical.
The 5000 million Ranger
project includes nine space We
hicles. The first, launched last
August % to see how it's hard

not aimed at the moon. It was

Letters To Edito,
Enjoyed Dedication
Pr. Edw. Academy

Editor. The Herald:
l witnessed the dedication Of
the Prince Edward Academy
and returned to Washington feel
ing cleansed and invigorated.
The effect was like witnessing
the Boston Tea Party or the
signing Of the Declaration of In
dependence. It left me with re-
stored pride in the fact that I
belong to the same race of peo-
pie as those stalwart Americans
Of Prince Edward County.
1t was good to hear. on school
property, the invoking of Gods
help without the usual protests
from atheists and Christians
that these things harm their
children; and the defiance
thrown into the teeth of Wash
ington's professional race mixers
was soul-satisfying.
l thank the people of Prince
Edward for permitting me to be
their guest and for sharing with
me their spirit of independence.

sides against the middle and trying to
get as much as they can from both East
and West, in many cases.
The United States would probably be
respected more if it withheld it's aid
from nations which criticized Washing
ton as disturber of the peace while
remaining silent on the question of
Soviet Russia. Obviously these nations
are either led or are pro-communists -
for they are spouting false line. A
little more reluctance by us, in forcing
dollars on them, might bring about a

city is getting not only its capt.
tai largely from New England,
but also some of our best young
men. One of the ableSt men in
Tupelo is Frank Dodge, who
came from the little town of New
Boston, N. H.
The first step which a north
ern city must take, in this con-
nection, is to have the state pass
a law whereby a city may issue
these revenue bonds to build fac
tories as well as to build toll
roads. Thus far, when a northern
city has gone to its legislature
for such an amendment, the bond
dealers have killed the proposed
amendment. They have been as
sisted by the conservative mu-
nicipal bond holders of their
community. These bond holders
have selfishly thought only of
themselves and have disregarded
the welfare of their community.
How the Plan Works
Let us assume that an estab-
lished company with good credit
is willing to build a factory in
your community costing $500 600,
provided the city will issue in
dustrial revenue bonds IN this
amount to pay for the cost. The
company for which the facotry is
being built takes Z tWenty-year
lease for SIS. 900. which includes
modernization and interest ct
very low annual rates. This Is
possible because the interest Is
federal tax exempt and because
Of other advantages. The eat q
$500, 900 includes land. concrete
floors and walls. and IN normal
electrical wiring. plumbing. air

Research, supported by both
private and public funds, is aid
ing the South in its effort to
generate more industry of this
latter type. A Southern advan-
tagc. in this field is the regional
willingness to cooperate, evil
denced by the successful opera
ton Of two separate agencies:
the Southern Regional Educa-
ton Board, which serves higher
education in the entire region,
and the egional Advisory Coun-
Gil or Nuclear Energy.
The states of the South, and
their governors who are meet
ing here today, have long since
split into many shades of politi-
cal opinion. But this educational
and industrial cooperation is
helping to establish a regional
unity on the economic front
which, in the long run, may
prove an even greater blessing
than political solidarity.

Law Protects
Fawn Deer

Fawn deer and other wild ami
mails are protected by law from
being held in captivity. warns
the State Game Commission.
Persons who catch wild an
imals for pets or any other rea-
son will be prosecuted" says
Law Enforcement Chief Webb
Midyette.
Eve get complaints every day
that persons have picked up
young of the wild, particularly
fawns." said Midyette. "This is
strictly against the law, and
Wardens have been instructed to
make arrests and file cases.
Midyette pointed out that wild
animals usually take care of
themselves much better when
left alone. Permits are required
for raising wildlife in captivity,
and the permit must be obtained
before the animal is captured.

Connie |nfiItration

Let me tell you why the nape
Of my neck stays at the bristle.
Twenty-Five years ago, there
we're steady and prolonged warn
ings against the Nazi Fifth Col
umn. Every time an agent of
Der Fuhrer made a move, trum-
pets blared.
You may remember his fat
boy, Fritz Kuhn. Fritz made a
speciality of stomping around
New York, waving a screWball
flag, making Charley Chaplin
faces and damning the Jews.
He went too far one day. As
I remember, he held a roofing
rally in Madison Square Gar
den and before he could give a
farewell click to his round heels,
he was deported.
That deportation typified the
treatment enemies Of our coun-
try received - Is years ago. AS
fast as Hitler set them up, the
FB1 knocked them down. Aided
and abetted, person hastens to
add, by our press, pulpits and
politicians. We gave the Nazis a
rousting that was something to
behold. We shut down their pub
locations, ostracized their writers
and cat-called their gatherings
AS result. Hitler couldn't get
a foothold in our country and
when war broke out, Nazi inter
nal effectiveness through propa-
gandistS and saboteurs was nil
And remember, it was but
eight years in time from Hit er's
rise 1888 until we locked horns
with him f194D.
Conversely, the Kremlin has
been at work in our country fol
40 years. So long ago as the
early 30's they were organizing
Hunger Marchers and Bonus
Marchers. Douglas Macarthur
was nearly destroyed as a mill
tary figure because. at President
Hoover's order, he bounced a
Communicated aggregation from
Washington's Anacostia Flats.
Since then, Communists in
America have fomented every
imaginable evil. From wartime
strikes to Freedom Riders" the
Communists have been doine
their devils work. What's more
we now accept them in oul
best society. their identified
reporters attend privileged news
conferences and we hear then
doctrine preached from our pull
pits.
Does anyone doubt the Com
mics could, on signal, disrup
every phase of our industrial
life? Does anyone doubt they
have their minions in our public
utilities to dynamite our gener
ators or poison our water? Ant
in our war plants to guide
our missiles?

Neutrals?

THE American people no doubt were
amazed watching two neutral lead
ers in Washington recently. They were
visiting the President and had come
from the big neutral gathering in Bel
grade.
They were some of the same so-called
neutral leaders who criticized the
United States for disturbing the peace
while being too afraid to mention the
Soviet Union = which of course is the
real menace to peace on this earth.
The irony of all this is that the Unit
ed States has poured out millions and
millions of dollars to aid these social
ed neutral nations. They are, obviously,

Economic Reprisals

which owes money it will never be able
to repay and continues to operate on
deficit budget. Many private founda-
tons, grown fat through legal evasion
of income and inheritance taxes on
money produced by our capitalistic sys-
TEN OF business, have fallen into the
control Of those who would change this
nation from capitalistic to a social
istic system. Congress, ever mindful Of
the power of organized minorities, fails
to recognize, or to control the transit
ton. Commissions composed of govern
ment-appointed private citizens, recon-
mend economic reprisals against those
whose wills will not be bent into the
new concept.
The Civil Rights Commission has
just issued report calling for ''con-
gressional action to require every local
school board to comply with the Su-
preme Courts decisions in school segre-
cation cases." And how would this be
done? By economic reprisals. Congress
would withhold from various states up
to so per cent Of the federal education
grants normally available to them UNI
less all public schools within them are
operated on nondiscrimatory basis"
Does not the Commission know that the
federal district court of Virginia has in
effect issued total economic reprisal
against the people Of Prince Edward
County? All state educational grants"
normally, and legally available to
Prince Edward citizens have been with
held.
This period in the history of the
United States may become known as the
EZRA of government by organized ILL
teracy', that is, if this nation and this
world can weather the storm.

organize to oppose every Ameri-
can venture and destroy the per-
sonal reputation of those who do
battle against them.
They have a list Of ''fronts"
as numerous and as ever-chang-
ing as the reflections of a ka-
leidoscope. AS I write, three
noteworthy facets of their appar-
atus are particularly active.
They have something they call
''Nuclear Committee" they
want us to destroy our A-bombs
but have not opene d their
mouths, nor will they. in con-
demnation of Russia since it
started blasting AGAIN..
Secondly, they have a most in
sidious thing called THE Ameri-
can c O m m t e e on Africa"
loaded with far-out left wingers.
And the third thing that comes
to mind is their man in Wash
ington, privy to the highest
governmental echelons. who is
pleading Castro's cause. Plead
in. you will learn, with very
good effect.
Why do we not take the same
measures against the Commies
we took against Hitler's Bund
and Fifth Column? And by I'VE"
I mean our governing powers.
Why does our government no
longer seek to protect us?
That it doesn't is why my neck
stays at the bristle.

How To Get Industries To Your CITY
Bebson Discusses

BABSON PARK. MASS, Sept.
IS = The treasurer of a large
Massachusetts savings bank told
me yesterday that his new de-
posts are running over $40, 900 a
day. l asked him how he in
vested that much and he re-
piled: Il send it all to Missis-
sippi." This means that the
people of this New England city,
instead of having their savings
invested in New England, are
sending them down South to be
invested. Individuals in New
England are sending their saw
ings to New York City for invest
ment in the stock market. There
fore, most New England cities
are starving for capital with
which to start new factories and
give employment to their own
people. This largely explains the
troubles Of New England cities
today. Furthermore, this same
situation explains unemployment
conditions in other cities of the
North.
Six Fastest Growing States
In a previous column this sum-
mer I mentioned six Southern
states which have special laws
70 encourage industry. briefly
explained that these laws permit
city bonds to be issued to build
factories. just as most states
1oat bonds to build highways.
80 many inquiries have come to
me asking details Of these reve-
nue. bond laws. that l am devot-
ing this weeks column to the
subject. I take as an illustration
the city of Tupelo. Miss. This

conditioning. a sprinkler system,
and heating for a building of ap-
proximately l25. 1000 square feet.
The building is owned by the
city and gets a 99-year tax ex-
emption from the city, county,
and state. The credit of the firm
leasing the factory is not encum-
bered because it is a lease con-
tract. The $500. 900 revenue bond
issue provides the full faith and
credit of the city voted by the
citizens at a special election on
the project. These bonds furnish
federal tax exemption to the pur-
chasers because they are issued
by a city. The rate of interest
will be determined more by the
credit of the leasing company
than by the credit of the particu-
lar municipal issuing the bonds.
How To Secure Details
Readers of this column may
write to Mayor James o. Ballard
Of Tupelo. Miss, for a copy Of
the "Bawi" Law. States amend
ing their constitutions according
ly should find their unemploy-
ment problems largely solved,
since the new industries will pro-
vide new jobs for people who
are willing to do good work 1t
a fair wage. The program thus
assures rising employment and
. good rate Of interest on q fed
orally nontaxable bond. and tie
municipality receives . fair rem
tn from the property. The bonds
are am0rtized and interest paid
during the term Of the 20-year
lease. So far. I have not known

SOMEWHERE, sometime, the people
- of the United States will wake up to
find what has happened to them 1t
may be too late, we hope not.
If we recall correctly the United
States was settled by people seeking
freedom from tyrranical powers Of gov
eminent, of church and of society Early
American patriots were jealous of their
freedom and liberties. They endured
hardship, suffering, and death for prin-
ciples they knew to be necessary for
perpetuation Of their freedom and lib
critics. They wrote a Constitution, sew
eral years in the making, and adopted
it state by state. Virginia, one Of the
last states to adopt the Constitution,
held out for inclusion of the Bill of
Rights as the first ten Amendments.
The shadow cast upon this back
ground and upon this Constitution less
than 200 years later should cause every
freedom loving American serious con-
Germ. False security, administered by a
federal government, has been "sold" to
the unthinking people to replace in
dividual freedom. Millions of people
are being supported in multiplicity of
bureaus which issue regulations with eff
feet of law. Federal courts usurp pow
ers delegated to the states and the peo-
pie. Foreign agents swarm the Capital
city and infiltrate departments of the
government. Race has been pitted
against race. Strange doctrines of
socialism are taught in the churches,
the schools and colleges God, in whom
our forefathers found their strength,
is being forgotten. The substance of the
working people is being drained through
exorbitant income taxes into the Golfers
of the profligate federal government

and where she stops nobody

World shake up. We have even
forgotten that there is a Moon

has been knocked out. Some
even wonder if it will ever run

STA has wanted to destroy it.
There is talk of three heads and
moving out to West Berlin. There
are real brains at work to keep
the morale up and the prestige
in good shape. We have lost
much we hope not to lose
more. Any way it goes America
will not lose its voice and power
of control. These shake ups often
wind up in a shake down and
right comes out on top al
ways??? we hope we are
right.
Study is the same word used
for investigation. It was used
again in the Senate as looking

Governors Talk Business

NASHVILLE ~ Southern gov
errors are assembled here today
for their annual conference in
an atmosphere which promises
to be long on business and short
on politics.
It was different story this
time last year, for the first Of
the Kennedy Nixon debates took
place while the Southern Gov
errors Conference was in ses-
sion at Hot Springs, Ark. Politi-
cal overtones charged the air,
and national matters held unof-
fetal attention, even if not on the
conference agenda.
This year, the agenda is drab,
but the areas of discussion are
serious-and they reflect the
Southern approach to the national
norms in business and industry.
While that approach was NOV
ing rapidly during and immed-
lately after World War II. the
South was inclined to brag over
its industrial boom, and over
the gains it was making toward
the national per capita income.
Today, the South is continuing
to gain, but at a rate appreciably
slower than that Of the war
years. The per capita income
in this region still is increasing
at faster rate than the rate
of most Of the nation as
whole, but Southern income re-
mains well below the national
average. Furthermore. there are
soft spots in the economy here
and there about the Southland
this is a cause for concern on
the parts Of these Dixie COVER
nOrS.
Actually. the Dixie designa-
ton doesn's really fit all the
states Of the Southern Cover
nors' Conference, since the Con-
ference includes such border re-
gions as Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Kentucky, and
Oklahoma.
And some of these border
states, such as West Virginia.
western Maryland, and eastern
Kentucky, are the ones having
headaches over economic dislo-
cations caused by automation in
the coal industry. The chief ex-
acutives of these states can be
expected to listen closely to
what Administrator William L.
Bait. Jr. of the Area Redevelop-
ment Administration, has to say
on Sept. 26.
But all of the governors have
a consuming interest in the econ
omic welfare of their own states
and of the entire region, whether
it be by 're-development' or by
the preferable industrial devel-
opment of the states themselves.
These states have some de-
cided advantages on their side
when their prospects are com
pared with those of the rest Of
the nation. In the first place.
most of them can hold out ample
labor supplies as an inducement
to new industry. More import
ant, however, more and more
of these states are undertaking
broad programs Of providing
technical training of their own
to convert unskilled into skilled
labor.
The wartime and postwar
growth of the South is in itself
stimulating factor, since it
contributes to the snowballing
effect of higher incomes, greater
demand for goods, and greater
production Of those goods. I'm
fortunately, a great deal Of the
industry which has nourished the
South in years past, and still
does so, is slow-growth industry.
This means that, although these
industries provide steady and
essential employment, they do
not add to the growth rate as
90 those with higher productive
ty and higher wages.
