clause in Cleopatra" The

prohibited the young actresses
from marrying, lest the public
be repelled at seeing a man kiss

Joan Crawford had such a
contract. Franchot Tone said
recently: Il had to hit Joan

marry me-" 1t was the studios

kissing a maiden.

Recovery Rate
Fa||off Shows
In Statistics
BY JACK LEFLER
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. "a
Doubts about the strength of
the business recovery cropped
up this week.
Some statistics showed that
in January the economic pace
fell off from the December
rate.
This came as an unexpected
disappointment. There had
been general confidence that
the economy was headed up a
steady incline, at least for the
first half of this year.
Business failures. totaling
,447, were the highest for any
January since 1889.
The Census Bureau reported
that housing starts declined
for the third consecutive
month. Private housing starts
were extimated at an annual
rate 1892, 1000 units, down per
cent from December and the
lowest since lasy May.
Declines had been reported
earlier in factory production,
personal incomes and retail
sales.
The Kennedy Administration
was inclined to blame bad
weather for much of the slow
down and indicated confidence
that its goal of a Gross Ma
tional Product of $50 billion
up from $521.3 billion in 1861
would be attained.

MISSISSIPPI VERSUS THE u. S.

MISSISSIPPI VERSUS H {. S.
THE BATTLE lines are drawn between Mississippi and
the United States, for in truth, that most southern Of southern
states may not consider itself a part of the nation. What most
temperate people had feared is come to pass, and Federal
troops had to be called into action.
THERE IS nothing complicated or difficult about this
matter. 1t is simple, almost to the ridiculous stage = a state
governor refuses to obey the order of a Federal court. What
however, is difficult is the decision to go all out in implment-
ing this court order. That is the problem, for it brings with
it the possibility Of bloodshed. Native son will be matched
against native son, but the conformation will be as dangerous
as it is senseleSS. It all came about because one man, drunk
with the power of his office and totally devoid of an under
standing for his role and the significance of law and order,
pits himself against the Federal Government.
THE SUPPOSED theory or doctrine under which Gov.
ernor Ross R. Barnett Of Mississippi is acting is that Of in
terposition" which is merely that a state, any state, may in.
erpoSe its authority between that of the safe and the Federal
Government, and particularly the Federal courts. Put another
way, and in strictly laymans language, a state may, if it
wishes, refuse to obey any order of the court which the State
does not like, or agree with. incidentally, the Federal courts
have long thrown out this doctrine, and as a lawyer, Governor
Barnett knows this.
THROUGHOUT all this build-up, and the tensions along
with it, are two other considerations which stand out The
first is the unusual damage being done to the prestige and
status of the United States before the world, the matter be
ing made to seem ridiculously simple in the statement that
in a democracy a state would deny a citizen the right to an
education because of his race. How, they ask, could this.
nation talk to Africa and the other non.white nations about
democracy
THE SECOND fact which stands out is the cahmness of
James H. Meredith, the 29yearod Air Force veteran. He
has remained mr1ffled throughout it all, and displays a sense
Of humor which is heard by all except deaf Mississippi ears
Said Meredith at one point: IF Governor Barnett keeps this

up, l may not vote for him.

up, Imayn not vote for him.
MISSISSIPPI has engaged in a battle which it cannot
win. Former President Eisenhower said recently that the
country cannot survive unless the decisions of the Federal
courts are enforced. IF it were otherwise, court decisions
would be mere scraps of paper.
