Sparks Of Dissension Dart
Sovereignty Commission

Sparks of internal dissension
are shooting up from behind the
closed doors of the State Sover-
eighty Commission.
Fuel for a potential flame is
being fed by commission mem
bers repeatedly split several
ways on the role Of the Citizens
Council in state affairs.
The Council has labeled itself
"nonpolitical" but its influence
has been plainly evident in Sow
ereignty Commission activities.
The Commission has turned
over $50, 900 in state funds to the
Council to help pay for the COS
radio-television Citizens Council
Forum" The contributions are
continuing at the rate of $4,000
per month.
Commission finances are get
mig low now, bringing disagree
ment among members over how
remaining funds will be spent.
The Commission has consider
ed cutting off the Councils $4,000
per month donations. 1t has also
considered abolishing its own
public relations department
which costs about $1,000 per
month.
Ross Disagrees
Gov. Ross Barnett, ex official
chairman of the Commission,
said he disagreed with the $4,000
per month grant.
When the Commission voted
last July to initiate the dona-
tons, he recommended that the
IL members raise $1,000 each for
tire Council.
When the Commission rejected
his recommendation he went

many labor leaders, that there
is no difference between Ameri-
can and Filipino capitalism. The
Americans want to make the
leaders and the workers believe
that driving away American
capital and only replacing IT
With Filipino capital Through
the government who might turn
out to be monopolists would
not do Filipino workers any
good. This will only result in
disunity among Filipino workers,
and it will require Filipinos to
fight imperialist sovereignty and
the maintenance Of imperiallst
domination and exploitation
We in America know this to
be false reasoning. But how
many Of the less educated Fill
pinos do, when this argument is
boiled down to simple propa-
canda terms? Not many.
Here, in this propaganda, psy-
Geological and political area, the
Communists are winning their
cold War for the conquest Of the
world. They + no smarter
tran Americans. But they are
more dedicated. They have-a
blueprint. It is their "cause."
They are working at it with all
the zeal Of the early Christian
missionaries.

The Peoples Business

II a tourist came to your town
and asked to see some historical
spot or sites Of interest, what
would you show him? Or, if you
and your fellow toWnsmen de-
cided to launch an improvement
program, what steps would you
take?
You, along with your neigh
bors, al gel the answers to these
and ether questions on tourism
and CONN unity development by
attending the twin conferences to
be held in connection with the
State Chamberlain 18th annual
meeting in Jackson on Thursday,
April 9th. And you can get the
information free. The public is
invited.
Those in charge of the pro-
gram have lined up some real
authorities in the field to pre-
sent ideas on what Mississippi
can do in both fields. There is
no charge for attending either,
SO u community will do well
to have delegates to both. The
only charge for any event in
connection with the annual meet
ing is for the meals involved,
$3.50 for the luncheon and $3.50
for the banquet. Should you wish
to attend, make your reservations
direct for the meal tickets.
Back to the conferences. Re-
Gently, a chamber of commerce
leader in Mississippi said: I'VE
keep talking about tourist de-
velopment, but I'll be honest and
admit | just don't know what
we should develop in my COM
munity." He no doubt stated the
situation for many local leaders.
But the fact remains, Mississippi
does have great potential in the
tourist business. What we need
is to know how to uncover, de-
velop, and promote these attrac-
tons.
It will be the objective Of the
panel on tourist development on
the 9th to give you some ideas
and suggestions. You'll hear
what others are doing, or have
done, to bring out their attrac-
tions. There are some areas of
Mississippi that have outstripped
others in this field, and you'll
learn the reason why.
The same goes for the panel on
community development. Some
communities seem to show prog
rss year after year. while others
stand still or lag behind. Autho-
rites on development will ex-
plain what makes a community
tick at the State Chambers an
nual meeting.
Both conferences begin at $3.50
a. m. Let's have our community
represented at both. We want
tourists and development.

Show held Monday and Tuesday
of this week at the Lexington
Armory was declared an UNI
qualified success by its spon-
sors, the Junior Chamber of
Commerce, despite inclement
weather.
A wet, soggy ground did not
dampen the enthusiasm of the
record crowd which attended the
horse show, opening event of the
2-day affair. White school chill
dren of the county turned out
en- mass for the horse show
after schools were let out at
noon. Most of them came in
school buses and departed in the
afternoon around $3.50.
Twenty-one horses entered
the competitive classes of the
afternoon in the barrel race,
refining and hand and set. This
did not include the exhibition
horses.
About 400 people were on hand
Monday evening when pretty
Frances Peacock of Acona was
crowned Livestock Queen.
None of the spectators knew
that both of the silver slippers
worn by Queen Frances were
for the same foot-neither did
she until she went to don t he new
pair of shoes done up in a shiny
cello bag.
The reigning Queen entered
the field of contestants after the
paper had gone to press last
week and her name was not on
the list published. She repre-
sented Southland Service Station.
Other girls who also entered
late were Rebecca Walker of
Tchula who represented The
Advertiser; Jamye Carson, Herr
man Insurance Agency; Sandra
Hammett, Flowers Department
Store; Nancy Katherine Foose
of Tchula, Nelson-B Bennett De-
partment Store.
Betsy Harper Heinrich was the
only one of the 81 contestants
who did not show up. She had
to stay home with the measles.
Names of the other girls were
carried last week together with
their sponsors.

Looking
Ahead
BY DR.. George S. Benson.. Pres
National Education Program
SearcY. Ark


Manila, The Philippines = The
Communists have set a target
date for the tax-over of tn e
Philippines. They hope to take
these strategic islands in the year
1861. They are confident they
will. In a secret. document OBJ
tanned through sources l cannot
disclose, the powerful Red con-
spiratorial apparatus in the
Philippines has advised its
agents and its fellow travellers
that the "nationalistic" revolu-
ton should be ready for
launching sometime this year.
"The year 1861" the docu-
ment says, will likely be the.
year when the clash will occur
between the nationalist and the
imperialist Americans, clergy
and Filipino anti-Filipinos. The
triumph of nationalism will be
based on the development of its
sound unity. And the triumph
of nationalistic masses will be on
the unity of strength of workers
who are independent but Of the
same blood as the whole strength
of the nationalists."
Controlling Nutionalism
This clear statement of pur-
pose in the secret document
follows 80 pages of Communist
propaganda and revolution in
structions. The document is en-
titled, "A Call to Unity for In
dependence, Prosperity, an d
Peace" The unity" it speaks
of is the organization of all the
"nationalists" elements, with
farm workers and industrial
workers predominating, into a
revolutionary force led by Mos
cow trained Filipinos.
"It is the conviction of the
revolutionaries," the Red leaders
tell their workers in this secret
document, "that sooner or later,

that only by means of revolution,
either peaceful or violent, can
the suffering of the nation be
alleviated and that they will be
forced to accept the wisdom of
the basic ideal Communism
and concepts of the nationalistic
revolutionaries Communist lead
ers.)"
Hate America"
The straw man they are using
to whip up support among the
rank and file uniformed Filipi-
nos is the United States - and
this is the propaganda bugaboo
wherever the Communists are at
work throughout the world. With
their widespread and effective
propaganda apparatus they are
drumming into the minds of the
people a picture of a greedy,
mercenary, capitalistic Uncle
Sam exploiting the Filipino
workers, farmers. middle class
and professions. In propaganda
and in their extensive and in
fluential political activities, they
are pushing the movement tc
nationalize the industries of the
islands. About 80 per cent OF
these industries are largely
American owned, and they have
provided the economic growth
that has gradually pulled the
living standard up from sheer
poverty and starvation.

Anti-Castros Try to Seize
 Cuban Plane, Three Killed

HAVANA JAP - Enemies of Fidel Castro attempted to hijack a Cuban airliner in flight We'd nesday. A gun battle erupted on board and three persons - in cluding the pilot - were killed and six were wounded.
 The twin-engine plane, owned by the Nationalized Cuban Air lines AeroVias Q, had 53 persons aboard when it set out from Ha- vana's Rancho Boyeros Airport. It was heading for the Isle of Pines, off Cuba's south coast.
 Five minutes after takeoff, the hijackers attempted to force their way into the pilots cabin and take over the plane, presumably in hopes of heading for the Unit ed States.
 When the crew and two guards resisted, gunfire broke out. Au- .horities reported the hijackers fired first and one of the first shots killed the planes captain.
 While the gunfight went on in the main cabin the terrified pas sengers tucked for cover, the wounded co-pilot managed to crash-land safely in a field. The landing gear and propellors were smashed.

US. Files Charges
 Against Frenchman for Seizing Pan Am Jetliner

MIAMI, Fla. LR - The federal government yesterday filed a com- plaint charging airplane hijacker Albert Cadon, 27, with crime on the high seas, assault with a dangerous weapon and assault with intent to commit felony.
 The charges were on two counts and said the Frenchman hijacked a Pan American World Airways DC8 jetliner Wednesday and forced it at gunpoint to fly to Havana. They were filed before U. s. Commissioner Roger Davis.
 Asked if plans are under way to return Cadon to the United States, an FBI spokesman said that will be up to the Depart ment of Justice in Washington" :"
 Cadon was still in Havana, held by the Cuban authorities who re- moved him from the Pan Am plane. Cuba disclaimed any hand in the hijacking and permitted the plane to fly to Miami.
 Cadon was quoted by crew members as saying he was hi- lacking the plane to protest Unit ed States policy in Algeria, and that led to reports that he was a French Algerian.
 The FBI said later, however, that Cadon was a French native who came to this country in 1857 and was committed briefly to New York's Bellevue Hospital last fall for mental observation. He was described by the FBI as an un- balanced itinerant artist and res taurant worker.

Army Draft Quota For Sept. Set at 25.OO0

WASHINGTON lR - The draft quota for September was set yes terday at 25,000, biggest since the end of the Korean War.
 The Defense Department an- nouncement for the September call reflected the first full-scale manpoWer impact of the military buildup, although a smaller in- crease had been made in the Au- gust call through revision of the initially announced quota.
 As usual all draftees for Sep tember will be for the Army, now getting ready to build up three training divisions into combat units.
 The announcement said, "the Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force do not intend to place calls with Selective Service during Septem- Der"
 The September call is the largest since June 1863 when the quota was 32,000
 It will bring the total of men who have been drafted since Sep tember 1860, immediately after the outbreak of the Korean Wa to 2,640,950.

Fetching Blonde Teacher to Teach For Free in Alaska

SEATTLE R - A fetching blonde Seattle teacher has laid aside her duties in the Bellevue School District and has Volun- teered to teach, for free, in a Jesuit Mission School for Indians in Alaska.
 She is Dolores Hasenoehrl, 24, a 1859 graduate of Gonzaga Uni versity, Spokane, who has been teaching, for pay, Bellevue's High land Elementary School the past two years.
 During the coming school year she will teach the third and fourth grade at the Copper Val ley School, Glenallen, Alaska, 200 miles east of Anchorage.
 She will receive room and board - and $2.50 a month.
 You only get the $2.50 if you really need it," explained Miss Hasenoehrl. If you don't need it, you don't get it."
 The Copper Valley School - being built by donations of money, m ria S, transportation and services - is the pet project of the Rev. John Buchanan, a Jesuit priest from Spokane whose Alas ka parish covers 74,000 square miles.
 The school, still uncompleted, opened its doors in 1856 - and from the start has been staffed by volunteer teachers serving without pay.
 The main purpose of the school is to train Alaska Indians so they can, in turn, teach their own peoples.
 q have thought a lot about joining President Kennedy's Peace Corps" Miss Hasenoehrl said But I volunteered for this be- cause I thought it is something closer to home"
 Miss Hasenoehrl, daughter of MT and Mrs. George Hasenoehrl, Lewiston, Idaho, expects to re- turn to Seattle University next summer to complete studies for her masters degree.
