Northern Virginians are pre-
pairing to fight vigorously any
attempt to delay enforcement
Of the Federal court order for
reapportionment of the State
Legislature.
They are certain that Gcy.
Harrison now has decided to
appeal the decree that Virginia
must grant its urban areas
greater representation In the
General Assembly.
But they are confident that
the Supreme Court will sustain
the reapportionment decision
which has created the prospect

suit which produced the deci-

Special Session Unlikely
AS they met, reports seeping
out of conferences among poll
ticians in Richmond tended to
confirm the belief that the
State administration has de-
cided to appeal TO the Supreme
Court rather than to convene
in special session of the Gen.

Cuban Outlook
forecast that the Cuban
problem will not be settled in
1868. It may extend until after
the 1854 presidential elections.
The Russians have removed
their missile installations and
bonnbers from Cuba. in accord
ance with President Kennedy S
demands. In return. Mr.. Klnu-
shchev will undoubtedly want
some concession in Berlin, or in
Turkey which now bottles up
Russia in the winter due to
Turkeys control Of the Dardan-
Giles.
Khrushchev must placate his
people at home by improving
rather than reducing their
standard Of living. I saw this
very clearly when I was in
Moscow. He helped Castro only
so that he would have some
thing to trade with the United
States. either in connection with
Berlin or with our bases which
we now have in Europe. Khru-
shchev expected to later with
draw from Cuba when he first
decided to help Castro. He knew
Russia could continue to use
Cuba as a base for Russian
submarines. Now both Khush-
chev and Castro are looking to
save face at home.
Some think the Cuban fracas
will make President Kennedy
much tougher with labor here in
the United States. but l dis
agree. Labor leaders may be
more reasonable in their de-
mands. but they will continue to
have friends at the White House.
Labor, Profit Margin
Readers should realize that
the steel workers can reopen
their wage contract after May
/. 1858. The settlement OF this
contract will be very likely to
influence other labor disputes,
depending largely on interna-
tional conditions.
l feel that our country is be-
coming immune" to crises, be-
lieving that the cold war will
continue for years to come.
There, however. will be no nu-
clear war within our generation:
and no international war of any
kind in 1853.
Labor should begin to realize
in 1863 that wages finally depend
of profit. The year 1862 has seen
many employers close down be-
cause Of their slight margin.
Small businessmen both man.
ufacturers and retailers must
have a larger margin of profit
in order to exist. There are too
many mergers into bigger units
and too many failures Of worthy
employers. Labor leaders are
largely responsible for his
unfortunate development and are
slowly pricing themselves out
Of business. Sooner or later this
can result in much unemploy-
ment. A tax cut will not solve
this difficulty.
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1962-12-28
Commodity Prices


Nineteen-sixty three will see
many basic commodities sell for
lower prices. Despite domestic
production cutbackS for many
raw materials world supplies
will continue their uptrend.
These SURPRISES in world mar
kets will place additional down
ward pressure on commodity
prices in the U. S. There will
be exceptions in hybrid corn. Id
aho seed potatoes, and other
selected crops. Much depends
upon the weather and the abil-
ity to hold over SURPRISES.
Prices of peaches, apples. cit
rus and other fruits depend pr-in-
cipally upon the weather. Inlr
pr0vementS in canning, freezing,
and storage have been greatly
advanced. while the big super
markets have been beneficial in
stabilizing prices. The hope Of
the fruit growers rests in CO.
operative advertisements in the
newspapers and other media.
Certain basic chemicals viii
surely decline in price dua to
over production and compeh-
ton from imports. The U. S.
Justice Department claims to be
working for consumers in its
fights with many companies
such as the dairy concerns. but
in the end supply and demand
will determine the result and not
legislation or court decisions.
Taxes, Initiation
Before the Kennedy Admins
tration retines. l forecast that
We will have ether more taxes
or more initiation. Neither. how
ever. need come in 1868. The
stock market may discount the
expected initiation by temporar-
lily continuing above 600 on he
DowJones Industrial Average.
The November elections indicate
that the voters want a welfare
state" and l believe this means
more imitation rather than more
taxes.

have our cake and eat it too" is
certainly true today. The cleo

MAGNOLIA, Miss. = Three of
the Is McComb students on trial
here this week in Pike County
Court, were convicted; and the
appeal trials of the remaining IL
were postponed to September TO-
The IS students are engaged in
an effort to establish in Mississip
pi the rights of peaceful assembly
and free speech guaranteed under
the First Amendment to the U. S.
Constitution.
This central issue was pointed
up in a statement by Bob Moses,
staff member of the Student Non
viDlent Coordinating Committee,
(SNCC), first of the group to be
tried. He and Charles McDew,
chairman of SNCC and Robert Tol
bert were convicted of disturbing
the peace and sentenced to six
months in Jail and a $500 fine.
Moses and the others on trial
were with the group of lis Negro
students and one white man who
were arrested last October when
they walked out of Gurglund High
School and marched downtown to
City Hall in nearby McComb in
Pike County.
1t was the first instance of such
mass nonviolent direct action in
a rural section of the Deep South.
The student march was in protest
against the schools expulsion of
their fellow-students, Brenda Ira
Wis and Isaac Lewis, who had been
arrested for sitting in at McComb
lunch counters.
All those in the student march
were arrested and charged with
disturbing the peace. ALI but the
Is tried this week we're minors
and paroled to their parents. The
Is were convicted October 81 in

ranging from four to six months
and fines of $500 to $500. Most of
them spent almost six weeks in
Jail last fall before being released
December 6 on 81 900 bond each,
provided by SCEF.
On hand to observe and express
concern was a group of Episcopal
ministers who came to Magnolia
after winning dismissal of their
own Freedom Ride cases In
Jackson this week.
The pattern of the prosecution.
became clear in the Moses and
McDew cases; the peaceful stu
