wholly practicable except to
those who had convinced
themselves. against history
and reason, that because the
election had returned more
Democrats to the Senate it
necessarily had returned
more who would necessarily
favor any and all of the
Presidents ideas.
What really happened in
the election merely con-
firmed the long obvious fact
that this country is far more
concerned with its safety In
the long world crisis than in
tin kering with welfare
schemes which are not very
relevant to the era in which
we live. There is no evidence
whatever that such issues as
urban renewal" and "medi-
care" had much to do with
it, one way or another. The
people want national safety
more than slum clearance;
they want sustained care for

Troops Reported Costing 81 Million
At University and May be Doubled

The use of troops at the
University Of Mississippi has
cost the Federal Government
more than 50 million. This
figure has Just been revealed
by the General Accounting
Office in a communication to
Senator A. Willis Robertson,
Democrat of Virginia, who is
chairman of the Senate
Banking and Currency Com
mittee.
The figure covers only the
extra cost of transportation
and other expenses that
would not otherwise have
been incurred for the Fed
eral troops, and includes all
costs resulting from the call
ing of the National Guard
into Federal service. 1t does
not take into account as yet
any of the expenses of the
United States marshals. the
FBI and other divisions OF
the Department of Justice.
The expenses have been tab
ulated up to November /.
The total expense, includ-
ing the mobilization of $4,000
troops in Mississippi and adj
jacent States, eventually may
reach at least 81 million, &C
cording to unofficial esti-
mates. There are Federal
troops as well as United
States marshals still on duty
in the vicinity of the Uni
versity of Mississippi.
Just what legal function
these troops are performing
today is not clear. The court
order has been complied with,
inasmuch as James Meredith
has been enrolled as a STU
dent in the university. 1t
now is the obligation of the
State of Mississippi and Of
the local authorities to main
tain order. There is no Fed
eral law or court decision
which gives the President the
right to use the armed serv-
ices merely to await a contin-
gency in which a State may
fail or be unable to protect
the residents of a State
against violence.
If every riot or disturbance
growing out of a debate or
dispute over a Federal court
decision were to be policed by
the Federal Government, the
States would be deprived of
their right to do their own
policing. Indeed, there is a

WILLIAM S. WHITE

From the hitherto all but
deserted Capitol there now Is
sue the faint, rustling sounds
of newly elected members ar
irving and old members re-
turning for the 88th Con-
gress opening in January.
1t will be a new Congress
with some new faces. But
the overwhelming probability
in this columnist's opinion.
after some searching around
into the matter, is that in
no important particular will
it be much different in at
titude from the old Congress.
If anything, it is likely to be
a touch more moderate-to-
conservative.
1t is a safe prediction, not
withstanding much excited
comment about the great
things that would be pro-
duced by the recent election,
that the position will be ex-
pressed in an old saying: The
more things change the more
they are the same.
The House, with 258 Demo-
Gratis, 176 Republicans and
one present vacancy, will be a
shade more nearly Republican
than before. The Senate, with
SO Democrats and 80 Repub-
licans, will be a shade more
Democratic. There is, how
ever, a good deal less in these
labels than meets the eye.
For the sole issue in the new
Congress, as in the old, is
not so much how many mem
bers are Democrats and Re-
publicans as what kinds Of
Democrats and Republicans
they are.
Will there be many more
Democrats ready to approve
such of President Kennedy's
domestic welfare program as
compulsory medical care to
the aged and urban renewal?

spirited controversy as to
whether the Mississippi State
Police who were on duty at
the time of the riot on the
university campus were &C
tually prevented from main
tanning order by the action
of the armed United States
marshals, who were later
joined by Federal troops. This
probably will be argued out
someday when the State of
Mississippi files in court its
claim for $4,000 property
damage sustained by the uni
versity.
The contention will be
made by the State that the
use Of Federal troops to put
down a local riot was a viola
ton of the Constitution and
was not sanctioned by any
law of Congress or by any
court decision. In fact, the
troops and armed marshals
were ordered into action be-
fore the full Supreme Court
of the United States had
passed upon an appeal from
a United States Circuit
Court of Appeals decision that
Mr.. Meredith must be admit
ted to the university. A citi-
zen has the right to refuse to
comply with a court order or
decision and to take the risk
of a conviction for contempt
and then Imprisonment. But
he also has the right to pc
tition for an appeal all the
way up to the Supreme Court
of the United States.
1t often is contended that
Supreme Court decisions are
"the law of the land" but the
decisions of the highest Fed
eral court actually are only
"the law of the case" Many
cases differ from one another
in facts and circumstances.
John c. Satterfield, who
served as president of the
American Bar Association I'M
til last summer, dwelt on this
very point in a speech be-
fore the national convention
of the American Legion short
ly after the Mississippi Incl
dent. He is one of the lawyers

The government said the
law was needed to combat

aim is to silence opposition to

The first list Of banned per-

and politicians. At least two

Missing Grain
Put at Million
BY the Associated Press

Agriculture Department in
vestigators have found short
ages Of about million bushels
in aforementioned grain
mostly corn and soybeans-
stored in commercial ware
houses in the Midwest. The
value Of the vanished grain was
about $1.1 million.
These shortages are the ag-
gregate Of II individual in
stances previously reported. III
eight Of the cases, the Govern
ment has asked Federal courts
to appoint receivers for the
warehouses and to issue re-
Straining orders against further
handling Of grain by the ware
housemen.
These shortages represent q
very small fraction Of the more
than 2 billion bushels Of Gov
ernment-owned surplus grains
stored in commercial ware
houses and in Government bins.
Officials said bonds which
the commercial warehouses
were required to post before be-
ing allowed to store Govern
ment grains are expected to
protect the department against
losses.
They said that additional
shortages may be found in the
weeks ahead as declining grain
supplies are pulling much grain
out of storage for commercial
use. The declining supplies re-
fleet cutbackS in production
and increases in use, both at
home and abroad.
Many small losses occur from
time to time, reflecting shrink
age in the weight Of the grain
during storage as well as han
ding losses. Both Of these are
normal and do not represent
