Do We Really Believe In The u. 5. Constitution!
Constitution Week

This week of September 1928 is
being celebrated as Constitution Week
in the United States by proclamation
OF President John F. Kennedy This
marks the 175th anniversary of the
signing of the Constitution of the
United States.
The week is being observed in Mis-
sissippi by proclamation of Governor
Ross R. Barnett.
Lexington Mayor w. B. Kenna,
has proclaimed Constitution Week in
Lexington. w
Chapters of the Daughters of the
American Revolution throughout Mis-
sissippi additionally spark observance
of Constitution Week in Mississippi
with special programs conferred on the
foundine of this nation on the princi-
Piles of individual liberty and freedom
under law.
But do we Mississippians really be-
lieve in the principles enunciated in
that historic document, the Constitu-
ton of the United States?
Never. in all of the years that have
gone before. has Constitution Week
been observed in Mississippi under con-
ditions which exist in our state todav.
We have the paradox of our states
Chief Executive claiming he is "for
Constitutional government but at the
same moment he is defying and order
ing other state officials, both elected
and appointed. to defy direct order
from the U. S. Supreme Court to admit
a Negro to the University of MISSISSIPPI
pi.. (The U. S. Supreme Court is the
final arbiter of decreeing what the law
is in this country
We say we believe all men are
created equal in our Declaration of In
dependence, the forerunner of our Con-
stitution, which means that all men are
and should be equal in the sight of God
and before the law - that the law
should and does apply to everyone who
lives in this nation, to all Americans
regardless of race, color or creed, or
previous condition of servitude
Yet Mississippi's Governor, in an
appearance before the Bar Association
in the state of Washington, stood be-
fore that distinguished group of men
and said Negroes are Inherently infer
ior." In espousing doctrine which par
allels Hitler's theories on race, our Gov
ernor is following line that has al
ready caused one World War with un-
counted loss of lives and property,
racist line that is not only contrary to
historic American principles and pre-
cents but one that has been rejected by
all civilized men everywhere in the
world.
What we need in Mississippi today,
as in the United States and through
out the entire world. is not the bland
assumption of white supremacy" or
any other kind of supremacy based up
on the color Of mans skin Instead
we need a universal striving for excel
lence. for SUPERIOR citizens. men and
women of character. integrity and in

pies, and opportunities, honest and eff
ficient government and Christian con-
Germ for humanity everywhere.
With the graft, corruption, lawless-
ness and general unconcern for the
rights Of all men when they conflict
with our own interest or special privi-
lege, which exist in Mississippi today,
we feel that we have very little ground
on which to speak Of supremacy"
based on the color of our own skin.
The Christian ethic which most Of
us claim requires that we do more.
A good way to- test our own princi-
pies and ideals is to read and study the
Constitution of the United States and
see how much of it we really believe in
and are willing to implement into our
own lives.
These are the rights and privileges
guaranteed every American citizen =

U. S. Sends Regrets to Russia
For Flight Over Soviet Area

President Kennedy has ex-
pressed regret to Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev for yesterdays
flight by an unarmed American
airplane over Russia, telling
him the intrusion resulted from
a navigational error by the
pilot.
II regret this incident and
will see to it that every pre-
caution is taken to prevent re-
currence," the President said in
yesterdays message accepting
Mr.. Khrushchev's offer to with
draw offensive missiles from
Cuba.
Mr.. Khrushchev had COM
planned mildly about the Incl
dent in hissmessage making the
offer of a Cuba settlement.
Mr.. Kennedy did not refer to
the Soviet Premiers complaint
about American flights over
Cuba. These flights, Mr..
Khrushchev warned, may also
have dangerous consequences"
After reviewing previous Incl
dents involving United States
violations of Soviet air space,
including the celebrated 1860
U-2 flight, Mr.. Khrushchev said
an American reconnaissance
plane yesterday flew over
Russia in the area of the
Cllukotsk Penisnsula, a tip Of
the Soviet Union near Alaska.
Especially Dangerous Now"
Mr.. Khrushchev asked: How
should we regard this? What
Is it? A provocation?"
Such flights are especially
dangerous in the present period
of tension, the Soviet Premier
said, when everything has
been placed in a state of fight
ing readiness" He warned that

Mrs. Roosevelt
Fails to Respond
To Treatment

NEW YORK, Oct % (AP).-
A spokesman for Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt said today the
former First Lady continues
seriously i'll and "the outlook
for the future is still un-
certain"
Unfortunately, she has not
responded to treatment as we'll
as it was hoped she would" the
spokesman said.
Mrs. Roosevelt, 78. returned
home from a hospital IL days
ago and has been undergoing
treatment there for anemia
and a lung infection. Only
members of her family have
been allowed to visit her.
The spokesman said there
was uncertainty about her con-
dition because of the under
lying anemia and the continu-
ing though intermittent fever
caused by a persistent in
fection."

Church Leaders
Meet on Crisis
BY the Associated pres.

An emergency gathering Of
nearly so religious leaders said
yesterday "the world has been
granted a reprieve from war"
but the decision on how to use
this reprieve still remains.
The meeting had been called
on 48 hours notice by DR.. Paul
Tillich, writer and theologiail:,
DR.. John Bennett, dean of Un-
ion Theological Seminary, New
York; Rabbi Maurice Eisen-
drath, president of the Union Of
American Hebrew Congrega-
tions; Bishop John Wesley
Lord, vice president of the
Methodist Board Of Christian
Social Concerns, and Dean Jer-
aid Brauer of the University of
Chicago Divinity School.
It's stated purpose was to
broaden awareness Of further
approaches for resolving the
Cuban crisis; give maximum
support to the U. N. in facil-
itating these approaches and
provide evidence to the Presi-
dent that devoted Americans
will support him in imaginative
efforts to alleviate the present
danger to national and inter-
national security"

incidents would not occur II
American planes did rot fly
near Russia.
Mr.. KhruShchev charged that
the Pentagon t'tramples on in
ternaticnal usage and violates
the frontiers of other states -
Referring to American recon-
naisSance flights over Cuba, Mr..
Khlushchev said, "It is no Sc
cret that we have our people
on Cuba" and added, 1--WE
are concerned about them.
I'VE must now be iery eau
tious and not take any steps
that would be of no use for the
defense of the states involved
in tie conflict, but which are
likely to arouse only irritation,
and even prove a provocation
leading to the baneful step. We
must therefore display sobriety
and wisdom, and refrain from
steps of that kind"

Medal Awarded Pilot
Missing in Cuban Area

GREENVILLEy S. c., Oct. 30
(AP) "A Distinguished Service
Medal has been awarded to
Maj. Rudolf Anderson, jr., pi-
lot of the United States re-
connaiSsance plane missing in
the Cuban area.
The pilots father, Rud off
Anderson. sr., said yesterday he
was notified of his sons award
by Gen. Thomas s. Power,
commander of the Strategic Air
Command.
Mai. Anderson already holds
the Distinguished Flying Cross
with two Oak Leaf clusters for
action in Korea and the Air
mans Medal.
In his telegram to the elder
Mr.. Anderson, Gen. Power said,
"In this country's hour of great
peril, your son in the perform
ance of one of the most inpor-
tant duties connected with the
current crisis, is long overdue
and must now officially be de-
clared missing in action.
II want you to know of my
grave personal concern and of
my deep regret. All SAC
connected with this
operation share with me your
and sorrow"

Base in Alaska to the North
Pole and return.
"In turning south the pilot
made a serious navigational
error. which carried him over
Soviet territory" the President
said.
Called for Assistance
He said the pilot "immedi-
ately made an emergency call
on open radio for navigational
assistance and was guided back
to his home base by the most
direct route"
Mr.. Kennedy went into con-
siderable detail to explain the
intrusion and to reassure Mr..
Khrushchev that no harm was
intended. The President ap-
parently did not hesitate to ex-
press regret over the incident.
During the 1860 campaign,
Mr.. Kennedy was criticized for
saying that President Eisen-
hover should have apologized
or expressed regret about the
U-2 plane shot down over Rus
sia while taking pictures for
intelligence purposes. The in
cident led to the breakdown of
a summit conference in Paris.
Mr.. Khrushchev in his mes
sage exaggerated Mr.. Kennedy's
1860 stand, saying: You as
sumed a correct position in con-
demning the criminal action by
the former Government of the
United States of America"

Coal from Reservation Lands
Expected to Boost Tribe Income

Large scale development of
portions of the Navajo Reserva-
tons extensive coal deposits are
expected within the near future. The
following projects are in the active
drilling and exploration stage. In
the case of Utah Construction Com
pany. stripping of overburden is
expected to begin in August 1862,
and production and stOckpiling of
coal to start by January 1868.
When these coal projects reach
their maximum operational stage,
which is expected within the next
five to sixyears. the Tribal roy ally
income from coal may well be at
least one million dollars per year.
IN addition, employment prefer
ence for individual Navajos should
provide regular wages for up to 800
workers In the various phases of
these mining operations The
availability of electric power for
local use on the reservation at
wholesale rates from the Arizona
Public Service Company generative
plant near Fruitland, New Mexico,
and from the Bureau of Reclama-
tons power lines from Glen
Canyon Dam should alleviate power
shortages on the Reservation, and
provide incentive for outside in
dustry to locate on the reservation.
In October 1857 Utah Construc-
tjcQ Company secured coal min
ing lease on "a, 800 acres of Navajo
Tribal Land located south of the
San Juan River near Fruitland,
New Mexico. The coal is to be
strip mined and is committed to
the Arizona Public Service
Company who are building apower
plant which will have an initial
capacity of $50, 600 hlowatts per
day. The bulk of the electric power
so generated will be transported
by Arizona Public Service to
Navajo times. [volume] (Window Rock, Ariz.) 1960-1984, 1962-07-11

PaSo's plans are to process the

the lease and processing plant as
contemplated have not as yet been
worked out between Ell Paso, the

The first Linotype machine ever
devised to set type in the Navajo
language was destroyed in la st
months fire at Phoenix Indi an
School.
A Phoenix printer who helped
develop the machine says he knows
of only two others like it. and only
six men trained to operate them.
1t cost more than $40, OOOto devel-
op the machine.
The system was devised by Fred
Snyder. printing instructor at the
school from 1947 to 95S, and Rob-
ert Young. linguist for the Bureau
of Indian Affairs at Window Rock.
Technical Navajo is spoken.
not written language. Thirty years
ago. the Rev. Berard Halle of St.
Michaels Mission devised Navajo
alphabet employing Arabic charac-
tiers.
ESSenti ally, Father Berard' s
version dropped six consonants not
used in the Navajo tongue and added
three more sounds to each vowel.
These sounds are indie ated by
symbols similar to those used in a
dictionary to diagram pronuncia-
ton
Father Berard adapted his sys-
tenn to a Monotype.

Indian school in 947, students were

matrices.
The 90 keys on Linotype key
board correspond to 9Ochamels in
a magazine, each containing mat
rices for different character. BY
eliminating the six consonants and
several little-used figures, Snyder
and Young made room for the Nav
ajo characters.
Dies had to be cut for 9 special
characters. at $50 apiece. Multi
piled by eight sizes of type. that
added up to $32. 900. plus several
thous and dollars for the basic Limo
type.
The Navajo newspaper was dis
continued in 1855, when Snyder left
to found Arizona Typesetnng Co.,
20 E. Garfield. Supe. Glenn Lun-
deem says he does not know whether
the machine will be replaced, since
there is little demand now for the
Navajo alphabet.
Students still have to print text
DooKS occasionally, though, and
they are halfway through a diction-
airy. The English-to Navajo portion
has been printed. but not the Nav
ajo-to English.
Sny der says that because the
original dies are still available it
would cost only about So. 600 for
matrices. plus the cost of another
Linotype machine. to replace the
system.
A similar machine is in use at
Sherm n Institute at Riverside,
