"The Pennsylvania Railroad
is not opposing the boulevard
proposition. On the contrary,
the matter has the endorse
ment Of the officials of that
company" This statement was
made Saturday by General T.
Coleman dupont. The declara-
tion was brought about by con-
current reports to the effect
that the Pennsylvania Railroad
opposed the building of the pro-
posed great highway for the rea-
son that IL might mean the op-
Grafton of an electric line
throughout the State along the
right of way of the boulevard
In competition with the rail-
road. ''The opposition does not
emsnate from that quarter, "
the General went on to say.
Then by way of substantiation
he produced a letter sent him
by Henry Talnall, vice-presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, in which this Official COM

that" he continued 81 had a
personal interview with Presi-
dent McCres at his office In
Philadelphia when he toldme he
would do everything within his
power to help the boulevard to
become an actualiry." When
asked the direct source of the
antagonism, he declined to be
specific. 'But for the obstacles
placed In my way" he stated,
''the work of building the high
way would now be we'll under

to resume work following this
result, but now the case has been
appealed to the United States
Supreme Court. 'As the highest
court In the land is about two
years behind In its work, am
informed. 1t is apparent that the
boulevard will not be finally
disposed of for about three
years. Meanwhile all work is
held up. am forced to stop

remarked that II the people of
Delaware want the boulevard In
the face of all this litigation,
their appreciation can be mani

An Assassination Attempt

the people, erode their power, destroy
their jobs. Frank Smith must be as
sassinated politically no matter what
the cost, rumbles the drum beat from
Jackson.
But the Jackson columnist's effort,
as reprinted by the forces opposed to
honest and straightforward represen-
tation in Washington, will fail. Sophis-
ticated voters in this area will read
the yelled attack carefully and note
the following:
Holding Carter doesn't write that
Frank Smith is a man after his own
way of thinking on the racial issue. lie
doesn't say that he and Frank are
friends or that Frank ever worked on
his newspaper.
He merely states that political
bossism is trying to stab Frank Smith
in the back because he has consistent
ly refused to play along with them in
their demagogic quest to strange Mis-
sissippi. He merely says that Frank
Smith exercises an independence of
judgment in representing his people
that certain forces cannot live with.
Regardless of what Holding Car
ter and his newspaper stand for Car
ter is a man who admires and respects
independence and honesty.
Likewise, Hazel Brannon Smith of
The Lexington Advertiser writes only
that Congressman Frank Smith strikes
fear in Jackson because of his indepen-
dence and that he can do more good
for Mississippi il Washington than any
of our other Congressman.
That is precisely the Common
wealth's position.
We feel that wise voters in this
area won't allow themselves to be
stampeded by emotional TRADES of the
most vicious sort and turn on a man
against whom his enemies can find
only one charge = that he refused to
go along with them.

Guest Editorial

The vicious foes of Frank Smith
are trying in every conceivable way
to discredit one of the most outstand-
ing Congressman in the nation. They're
trying it in the only way their crowd
knows, guilt by association. Over the
years they have found it an effective
tool.
We predict that this time, though
their effor.s will backfire on them.
Frank Smith towers above scurrilous
attacks from behind.
The latest under-the-counter nip at
the leading mans heels in the
form of a reprint from a column by
Tom Etheredge of the Jackson Clarion
Ledger. Etheredge has long run with
the pack in Jackson which is pouring
money, time, energy, lies and other
forms of venom into the North Delta
campaign.
Under the guise of being fair
minded. the columnist presents ex-
cerpts from editorial comment in four
newspapers, two supporting Frank
Smith and two supporting Jamie Whit
ten.
But which newspapers does he
quote? Not the Commonwealth. That
would have been fair editorial COM
ment. But reprinting statements from
the Delta Democrat Times in Green
vile and The Lexington Advertiser, he
reasons, will instantly discredit the
man who stands for independence Of
mind and spirit within the framework
of service to his people.
Independence, straight forward
honesty in the face of tribulation, is
a virtue that the crowd which the jack
son columnist serves as an organ, can't
stomach. Independent thinking fill them
with fear for their political security
