sonally can so testify, on evi-
dence that is neither guess
nor hearsay.
For these men have for the
most part long since made
those painful personal ADJUST
ments looking toward an
acceptance of inevitable in
tegration; they only hope it
can be held to a slow and
gradual pace. For the most
part, they have long been
bound in an unSpoken gentle
mems agreement not to traf-
fic in demagoguery among or
against each other on an
issue which they know they
cannot in any case control.
Thus they feel that Gov.
Barnett has let them down
not for opposing integration,
as they do, but for defying
the courts, as they do not
and cannot do. After all,
half-a-dozen Southern States
already have accepted the
very gradual integration in
volved in Mississippi. Their
leaders have not been cow
ards. but rather the reverse.
They are not happy at Gov.
Barnett's implication that
only he still values States

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Defiance Is Said to Hurt Moderotes
Of the South and Isolate Himself

Amid all the many possible
political implications Of the
tragedy in Mississippi, two
certainties and one strong
probability now stand out.
The first certainty is that
the life Of the moderate
Southern politician has
been made immensely more
difficult by Gov. Ross Bar
nett's defiance Of the courts
in the integration crisis at
the University Of Mississippi.
The second certainty is
that Gov. Barnett has iso-
lated himself from the ma
tionally responsible politi-
clans Of the South as no
other man has done in mod
ern times.
And the strong probability
is that If, as many South
erners suspect, he plans to
use the Incident at oxford
to reach the United States
Senate, he will never actual
ly sit in that body, even If
the voters of Mississippi
should send him there.
The Judgment Of Senate
sources Of utmost reliability
is that a heavy majority
there would deny him a seat
in any case. The Senate has
the exclusive power to Judge
its own membership. It is a
power most recently exer-
cised in barring its doors in
1947 to another MiSSiSSip-
plan, Senator Theodore Bill
bo, even though he had al
ready served there and was,
this time, merely returning
as a reelected member.
Speaking for a bipartisan
majority, the great conServa-
tive and pro-Southern Re-
publican Senator, Robert A.
Taft Of Ohio, successfully
demanded that Senator Bilbo
stand aside"

'OIe Miss Statement on Rioting

"6. Members of the Missis-
sippi Highway Patrol assist
ed the marshals by urging
the students to withdraw and
were, in fact, aiding and
pushing the students back
ward onto the grass farther
away from where the mar
shals were located as they
were surrounding the Lyceum
Building. The Highway Pa
troll was succeeding In NOV
ing the students backward
and seemed to have things
under control when, with
out warning, the marshalS
fired tear gas projectiles,
some Of them, at least. fired
point-blank at the students
and highway patrolmen. This
seemed, from all accounts. to
have been unnecessary and
illogical. This Is also not the
way to use tear gas, as any
professional, well-trained law
enforcement officer would
know.
~. One highway patrolman
was reported to have been
struck in the mid-section by
a tear-gas projectile. and he
was hospitalized. and In the
early evening a highway pa
trolman reported that they
did not think he would live.
He was removed to the hos
pital at Jackson by airplane
later in the night.
"8. OF course, the unfor-
tunate firing Of the gas shells
provoked the students and
others. which apparently
detonated the activities which
followed. Tear gas permeated
the entire area.
"9. A newspaper man rep
resenting q London and Paris
newspaper was slain shortly
thereafter and arrived at the
hospital dead. Outsiders be-
gan to come to the campus at
some point because the mar
shals had not closed off the
entrance to the campus. They
were still guarding the Ly-
ceuni Building instead Of
guarding the entrances to the
campus. Another outsider,
not q student. was shot dead
and several were injured, IN
cluding three other outsiders
whose identities were not
known and some United
States marshals.
40. Later in the evening,
about midnight, reports were
received that, as students
were arrested, they were be-
ing manhandled by the mar
shals. Troops Of soldiers be-
gan occupying the campus

It is only necessary to find
him unfit to serve.
The next Senate vacancy
in Mississippi will fall in 1864,
when Senator John c. STEM
mis- comes up for reelection.
Even should Gov. Barnett en-
gage and defeat Senator
Stennis, he undoubtedly
would be challenged within
the Senate. itself. Its South
ern members could not save
him, If they would. For a
massive Northern majority
would be arrayed against
him.
Moreover. any genuine
Southern effort in his behalf
could not be counted upon
for a moment. For nearly all
these men, while wholly OPP
posed to the direction taken
by the courts in Mississippi,
are also wholly committed
that public officials cannot
in the end disobey the DEGREES
of the courts, agree with
them or not.
This can be seen even in
their current reactions to
events in Mississippi, in an
hour Of passion and crisis. AS
Southern politicians some
have felt compelled to offer,
in public, some indirect and
generalized defense of Gov.
Barnett-though some have
not even done this. But as
Senators Of the United States
they strongly disapprove his
course In private. And as men
they bitterly resent the harm
he has done the reputation
of the South as a law-abiding
region and the enormous en-
barrassment he has brought
to them personally.

In the avalanche of news
dispatches during the last
few days, it was inevitable
that the wire services would
have to condense what was
evolving as "the Mississippi
story" But the American
people like fair play. 1t is
only fair now that, as a mat
ter Of record, what the Uni
.versity Of Mississippi said Of
ficially through the chancel-
lor and the board Of trustees
should be presented compre-
hensively. The statement was
telephoned to Washington
early Monday and was issued
here through the offices Of
the two United States Sena-
tors from Mississippi. 1t was
plainly certified as the ex-
preston Of the university it
self. It read as follows:
81. The Department Of
Justice had requested the
university officials to take
steps to warn the students
not to assemble or demon
strate, with q threat of ex-
pulsion If they did. The uni
versity officials felt that
threatening was not the way
to handle the matter, and,
instead, they outlined a plan
whereby on Sunday night a
special edition Of The Mis-
issippian,' which is the daily
campus newspaper, would be
issued for distribution early
Monday morning. State
fnents would be sought from
the Lieutenant Governor, the
Governor, the chancellor Of
the university, the director
Of student personnel and the
President Of the associated
student body, which could be
used in the paper, over the
campus radio, over the local
city radio and over the loud
speaker at the Student
Union Building. Such state
ements were in process Of
preparation as the students
were returning to the campus
late Sunday afternoon.
I'VE were informed by q
Justice Departments spokes-
man that Meredith would DO
brought to the campus later
the same evening. University
officials advised that this
might not be an appropriate
time, as the students were
returning from their homes
in large numbers at that
time, and that we had not
yet had time to put into ef-
feet the appeal to students
which was planned for late
Sunday and early Monday
morning. The university was
informed that Meredith was
coming anyway.

Facts on Youth

Unemployment rates for
school dropouts are three to four
times those of the adult-work-
force. In October 1861, 100000
out-of-school youth were unem-
ployed.
U. S. Department of Labor
and Office of Education studies
show that youths who drop out of
school change jobs more frequent
ly, earn less and are out of work
longer than those who complete
high school.
In a recent job survey of an
area in big city, 600 out of 1000
youths who applied to the local
employment service office were
found unqualified for available
work because they lacked mini
mum education. There were 400
jobs available for which the others
in the group were qualified but did
not receive because of racial dis
elimination. In the same area 80
per cent of the out-of-schooI
youths were jobless.
In a predominantly Negro
slum area of $4,000 people in a
large city, 70 per cent of boys and
girls aged 16 to 21 were both out
of school and out of work.
The job prospects of youth
are related to the amount of edu-
cation they can or will obtain.
Out of the &c million entering the
labor force in the 1905, rs mil
lion will not have finished high
school; of these, one-third will not
have finished grade school.

35.5 Million Changed
Address In Year

One out of every five Americans
had new address between March
1860 and March 1861. This repre-
scented 35.5 million citizens over one
year old. This pattern has remained
nearly constant since 1913.
Mobility was greatest in the 20-24
age group. Two out of every five of
these people moved in the year, with
women slightly exceeding men.
Low incomes also seemed to stimu-
late changes of address. The rate of
migration was twice as much for
men between IS and "a who earned
only between $1,000 and $4,000 as
it was in the $4,000 income brack-
ct. The ratio was 80 per cent in the
former group against Is per cent
in the latter.
The sampEng, conducted by the
u. S. Census Bureau, indicated that
mobility increased with marriage but
decreased with advancing age. How
