In relation to the American

the rest of the nations con-
sumers. Agriculture is the
number one producer of in

The influence of Agriculture
on the income of the state
can no longer be limited to
the farm boundary line. After
harvest on the farm the pro-
ducts must be assembled and
transported, processed anc
then distributed to the con-
Stunning public.
In 1862 the farm income to
farmers will probably exceed
seven hundred million dollars
to the farmers of Mississippi.
This IS about four times the
annual income by farmers
twenty years ago, with less
than half as many farmers

ago.

: Fifty Of the rs days allowed
for withdrawal Of foreign
troops from Laos have passed,
but so far fewer than 100 of
an estimated 1900 are known
to have left.
Whether the October 8 dead
line for clearing the tiny
Southeast Asian kingdom Of
foreign elements will be met is
already extremely doubtful.
When the IA powers agreed
In Geneva earlier this summer
on the terms for establishing q
neutral and Independent Laos,
there were an estimated 10000
Communist Wet Mini troops
and some TOO or 800 American
Military Advisory Group forces
in Laos.
One flight Of Is Wet Mini
commissioned officers and nom
CONS recently left Vientiane for
Hanoi in q great display Of con-
forming to the Geneva confer
ence provisions for neutraliz-
ing Laos, but the international
Control Commission was not
allowed to check their creden-
tials fully. so their identity is
questionable.
=. So far the only American de-
partures have been by advisers
whose tours Of duty have ex-
pired. These men have not
been replaced.
No u. 8. Departure Decision
e. No decision has been made
on a withdrawal date for the
American forces. At least part
of the United States Military
Advisory Group Is expected to
leave soon under unhampered
surveillance by the Control
Commission.
But American officials have
made it clear they do not in
tend to Withdraw all their key
contingents until they are as
sIred the pro- Communist side
is also complying with the
Geneva agreement.
American officials regretfully
acknowledge that the Commu-
nists are on the verge of fail
ing the first test Of their sin
cerity in signing the Geneva
accord.
The commission, which Ia to
supervise and verify foreign
troop Withdrawals. is only now
setting up observation teams at

Few Troops Leave Laos
with DeodIine NEARING

ed by Gen. Phoumi Nosovan:
the Plaine des Jarre, the prin-
cipal air facility for Laotian
forces under Capt. Kong LIE,
who supported Prime Minister
Souvanna Phouma, and Nhom-
marath, the principal air field
Of the pro- Communist Pathet
Lao forces in the north.
The Geneva conference left
to the neutralist government
the decisions on how many
points Of egress would be des-
ignated and where they would
be.
No provision has been made
for commission checks on the
departure Of foreign troops at
border crossing points. Many
Wet Mini forces could have
left Of foot-the way they came
-unobserved.
There has been some suspi-
cion in Washington that Wet
Mini troops which have been
fighting alongside Pathet Lao
forces might withdraw into
South Wet Nam to help Com
mumist guerrillas there.
Radio Hanoi has denied from
the b beginning g that any of
Communist Wet Mans troops
were fighting In Laos, 80 with
drawal Of whatever forces are

Of South Carolina, Democrat.
referring to some Of Mr..
Kennedy's recent statements,
said the other day In the
Senate:
THE Presidents comments
indicate strongly that the
Monroe Doctrine has recently
been reinterpreted with ma
jor omissions to the extent
that the Monroe Doctrine is
no longer q buIwark Of Unit
ed States foreign policy
which 1t was for over Q hum
dred years"
In Congress, members Of
both parties are restive and
uneasy about the apparent
surrender Of the initiative
to the Soviet Union. Author
ity to call up 10000 reserves
has been overwhelmingly in
dorsed. but this does not
overcome the feeling In Con-
greSs that the United States
is being portrayed over the
airwaves as afraid to stand
up to the Soviets. Paul Mite,
assistant secretary Of defense
for international affairs, in
q televiSion interview over
the ABC network Sunday,
really summed up the stu
alton. He wasn't trying to
be critical Of the administra-
ton and, in fact, was endeav-
oring to defend it. But he
unwittingly stated the case
against the administration's
policy Of silence when he
said:
'I think the grounds for
concern are, first Of all, that
this assistance the Soviets
are giving Castro makes it
more difficult for the Cuban
people ever to restore their
freedom, and, secondly, this
helps Castro consolidate his
position in Cuba and thereby
might increase the possibility
that Cuba could be used as
a base for Communist in
filtration into the rest Of the
hemisphere"
Yet nothing has been said
officially for the last several
months to the Soviet govern
ment in protest about all
this.

Campaign Poyof Seen in Rockefeller,
Nixon, Romney and Scranton Tests

Rockefeller victory-few even
among the Democrats really
expect his defeat-would put
him very high up for 1864.
George Romney, the for
mer auto maker, who is chal-
lenging the immense power
Of the Democratic-Big Labor
party In Michigan against
the sitting Democratic Gov
ernor; John Swanson.
william Scranton, who
seeks the Governorship Of
Pennsylvania over Richard
son Dilworth. Mr.. Scran-
ton thus dares, as Mr.. ROM
ney does in Michigan, q
giant Democratic entrench-
ment built upon an urban
labor coalition which is one
Of the most formidable DEM
ocratic organizations in the
country.
Success for all four-Nixon,
Rockefeller, Romney and
Scranton-is, of course, high
ly unlikely. Should it come,
it would overnight alter the
whole national political cli--
mate far more than anything
that could nationally be ex-
pected TO happen in the Con-
gressional campaign. For no
realistic politician in either
party actually expects any
big change in party makeup
in the new Congress.
And even the best conceiv-
able result for the @. O.P., q
seizure Of control Of the
House, would have less real
meaning than met the eye.
This might, indeed, be better
for the President in purely
partisan terms than some
thin Dem ocratic victory
which would in any case not
really ease his problem Of
bringing his more liberal do
mestic bills through the
House. Unless the Kennedy
Democratic forces in the

ting off to the expected slow
start, according to reports
reaching Washington.
Neutralist Premier souvanna
Phouma, pro- Communist Dep
uty Premier Souvanna Wong
and provost Deputy Premier
Phoumi Nosovan all have q
veto on proposed government
action.
The United States has in
formed the Laotian govern
ment 1t cannot continue in
definitely its direct budgetary
support Of $2-to-$3 million per
m on h. So the Laotians are
now tackling the question of
what other types Of foreign
econ mic assistance can be
sought.
Diplomatic representatives Of
Communist China and Com
munist North Wet Nam are be-
ing established in Vientiane.
No air Of crisis is developing,
however. over the possible fail
ure to meet the deadline on
the withdrawal Of foreign
troops.
The attitude In Washington
seems to be that so long as the
fighting has stopped and the
creeping Red advance in the
countryside has been arrested,
the status quo is acceptable.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Nearly two weeks have
passed since the news was
given out that the Soviets
had begun an arms buildup
IN Cuba. The United States,
so Tar as known, has sent no
protest to the Soviet govern
ment against its flagrant
violation Of the Monroe
Doctrine.
Meanwhile, the Soviet gov
eminent has taken advan-
tage Of Americas silence and
has filled the broadcast
! waves Of the world with one
propaganda blast after the
other, characterizing Presi-
dent Kennedy,s Gallup Of ne
serves as q provocative"
action. The latest accusation
actually turns the tables on
the United States and warns
the Washington government
that it must not do anything
in Cuba to interfere with the
Castro governments policy
of acquiring Soviet arms.
The claim is reiterated that
Cuba Is arming for de
fenSe." President Kennedy
thus has given away a
propaganda advantage by
appearing to accept the
Castro and Soviet arguments
that the supplying Of arms
and the sending Of tech
nicianS" are simply for de
fensive" purposes.
= It Is q puzzle just why Mr..
Kennedy chooses to forfeit
the initiative in propaganda.
Time was when the Ameri-
can government uttered its
protests through formal Dip
lomatic channels and made
them public in situations
comparable to the present
controversy over the Soviet
buildup In Cuba. The action
Of the Moscow government
not only affects the Monroe
Doctrine as q policy but Is
directly related to Americas
own security. To place mis-
sile pads and missiles in Gu
ba, which is Just 30 miles
away from our own shores,
is an act that can be con-
strued as hostile to the Unit
ed States. Yet the admins
tration prefers to say Moth
Ing by way Of formal pro-
test.
The seriousness Of the Sit
uation Is not diminished but

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Four Key Goyernorship Races

House are greatly strength
ened-a most unlikely pros
pect - outright Republican
control would at least permit
him to blame the Republi-
cans for future troubles In
the House.
And while q Republican
gubernatorial sweep Of these
four States would be an i'm
m e a asurable boon to the
COP, a victory in any one
Of them, apart from the in
cumbent Rockefeller, would
be a serious blow to Mr.. Ken
nedy. Basic Democratic Pres
idential election strategy is
centered on holding Just such
urban States.
The destruction Of the long
Democratic lodgment in eI-
ther Pennsylvania or Mich
igan, for illustration, would
strike a heavy force, in terms
of the 1864 Presidential year,
from the Democrats.
California, though not the
same kind of monolithic
Dem ocratic powerhouse,
would itself be q rich Repub-
lican prize. Mr.. Nixon's VIC
tory there would restore not
only his own influence but
also the influence Of the mid
die section of the party. Mr..
Rockefeller is definitely left
Of center. Mr.. Romney looks
measurably so and Mr.. Scran-
ton slightly so.
All this is why it is wise
to keep the eye this year on
the ball at what the bureau
Gratis like to call "the State
level"

The campaign for Congress
draws more national head
lines, but the payoff lies In
the now qnckening struggles
for the governorship In four
critical States.
Rarely has statehouse poll
tics been so truly the sub
stance and q national contest
for Congress 50 actually the
shadow as in this political
year.
For the fact Is this: The
capacity Of the Republican
Party to offer a real challenge
to President Kennedy's re-
election in 1864 win be deter
mined more by what happens
this fail to these four G. o. P.
gubernatorial candidates than
by whatever measure Of sue
cess or failure may attend
the general Republican Con-
gressional effort.
The field Of genuine Re-
publican possibilities for Mr..
Kennedy's job viii either be
enriched and widened to q
rarely exampled degree or
dangerously impoverished and
narrowed by what befalls
these men:
Richard Nixon, who has
now opened the climactic
phase Of q "border-to-bor-
der" and "person-to-person"
effort to unseat Democratic
Governor Pat Brown In Cali
fornia. Still the titular leader
Of the national Republican
Party as its Presidential NOM
inee Of 1860, he is the first
Of the four to open the throt-
tie full out.

Moscow Believed Toking Advantage
Of u. S. Silence on Violation

nately. the Soviets may come
to believe that they have sue
cesSfully bluffed the United
States into silence, and they
may take further chances in
the "cold war" Moscow in
its latest outburst even hints
ct q nuclear war II the
United States does anything
about Cuba.
The impression In Wash
ington is that the admins
tration has all along been
afraid Of increasing ten
sions" by saying anything to
Russia about the Cuban
buildup. Still. the Soviets
do not mind increasing ten
sions by their propaganda
statements. These could be
regarded as Of little impor-
tance If they were merely
part Of an exchange Of words
between the Soviet Union and
the United States. Unhap-
PLY, the propaganda Is cir
culated all over the world.
The peoples Of allied as well
as neutral countries can thus
be influenced to believe that
the United States is afraid to
speak out and IL being
showed into q corner by the
aggressive announcement Of
the Soviet Union.
The administration has
known for q long time about
the Soviet arms buildup in
Cuba. On September 2, the
United Press international in
q dispatch from Washington
said:
"a State Department
spokesman said today that
the Soviet announcement Of
arms aid to Cuba merely
confirms what has been 60
ing on in recent months. The
spokesman said:
The announcement does
not seem to represent any
thing new. We've been say
ing right along that the So
Wet Union has been sending
military equipment and tech
nicians to Cuba"
But the American people
were not told officially about
this until about two weeks
ago. and there is no public
record that the United States
has filed any protest with the
Soviet government concerning
the arms buildup. Naturally,
the Soviets would construe
this as an acquiescence and
