The bill which increases the

Endymion and Roman Line,
two of many in the muddled
field of contenders for this
years top 3-year-old prizes, are
among the leading entries for
tomorpw's Louisiana Derby, a
major test that strangely has
been a kiss of death for Ken
lucky Derby candidates.
Not since Black Colds tri-
umph in 1924 has a Louisiana
winner gone on to win the run
for the Roses, though the New
Orleans classic has produced
such winners as Jack Higgins.
Michigan Boy, Spanish Play,
Lucky Tom, Day Off and Am
Der Light.
AS many as IL to Is are
expected to start in the $4O,-
000-added affair at a mile and
one-eighth, the closing day
feature at the Fair Grounds.
Endymion, George D. Widen
er's entry which won a stretch
duel with Roman Line in the
Derby Trial, is the likely ia
vorite and may go at even
money. He packs 1T pounds,
eight less than top-weighted
Roman Line.
Task Made Tougher
Roman Line, which earned
about $4,000 for Owner T. A.
GriSSom as a 2-year-old, led
all the way in the Derby Trial
until nipped at the wire by
Endymion. But in that one, he
carried only 1903, compared with
Endymion's 112. The added
weight and distance make his
task tougher.
Another chief contender is
Fred w. Cooper's Admiral Voy-
age. which took second last
week in the 100000 Santa
Anita Derby. He'll share top
weight also at 1875.
Rand w. CLANS tempera-
mental PusS m Boots, the F&M
Farm entry of Calvalanche and
Good Fight, and J. C. Pollard's
Treasury Note also have their
supporters.
With the 3-year-old picture
greatly confused by the injury
to Sir Gaylord and Ridan's in
to win at a distance,
tomorrow's winner could jump
into the top ranks of Kentucky
Derby contenders.

Cumberland Rescue
Squad Serves Need

Editor, Farmville Herald:
Last week l followed the am
bulance of the Cumberland Res
cue Squad on a call to help if
| was needed. Raymond Pete"
Peters of Cumberland was the
driver Of the ambulance. He was
at the home to which he was
called within ten minutes. He
handled the patient with the
greatest of ease and knoW-how,
and in a matter Of minutes was
on his way to the hospital. Cum
herland County has been rem
dered great service by this
Volunteer Rescue Squad. Pete
and his wife, Muriel, have given
most generously of their time
and efforts to this service. They
are always ready and willing to
help when there is Rescue Squad
work to be done. l feel the citi-
zens of Cumberland County
should be very grateful for such
an outstanding husband wife
team in rescue work.

Government spending surpassed all
former records. This nation began its
experiment in socialism, which has
crept into every phase of its life during
the past 80 years. Roosevelt chided
business, increased taxes on business,
spent federal tax funds in emergency
after emergency" without abandon in
public works, and enamoured the public,
especially the masses, with his out
standing personality People regained
confidence in government and business
In the present crisis, business has
lost confidence. Surrounded by theo-
rists, intelligentia, and liberal poll
ticians President Kennedy has produced
climate of uncertainty among bust
ness interests. He has asked Congress
to grant him extraordinary powers to
control tariffs, adjust income taxes,
etc, all Of which affects business. The
concentration Of power in the Presi-
dent, his executive orders, and threats
of reprisals, as were demonstrated in
recent actions regarding the steel in
dustry, scare business. In 1882, people
lacked confidence, in 1862 business
lacks confidence.
Congress can reestablish confidence.
The President must reestablish conf
dence. Business will react quickly. It
just may happen.

Intellectual Direction

Arthur M. SchleSinger Jr. -
professor political pundit and
presidential adviser-has under
taken to set American liberal
ism completely apart from Com
muniSm.
Yet in rejecting the philoso-
ply Of a dictatorship of the
proletariat" he reveals his own
dedication to a dictatorship OF
the intelligentsia" Of which
he most assuredly is part.
Because Schlesinger is in po-
sition to speak privately to Pres.
Kennedy nm and does SO m it is
important that Americans know
what he says publicly. And he
is now saying Through Satur-
day Evening Post preview of a
new Schlesinger book that Lib
eralism has nothing in common
with Communism either as to
means or as to ends"
But having said that Schles-
niger moves promptly along to
restate his continuing thesis that
government must act positively
and authoritatively-in provid-
ing for the public's welfare. He
refers to 1.-The affirmative state"
and leaves no doubt of his be-
lief that governmental action is
required over a broad spectrum
of social activities.
He wants more and more of
the national wealth steered into
! the public sector, believing that
the resulting improvements in
opportunities in education, medi-
cal care. social welfare, com
munity planning, culture and the
arts will improve the chances
for the individual to win his own
spiritual fulfillment.
When he talks this sort of Ian
guage, Schlesinger is getting
back into the swing of his 1947
leanings toward democratic So
cialism." Writing then in The
Partisan R e vi e W. Schlesinger
said:
There seems no inherent OBJ
stacle to the gradual advance OF
socialism in the United States

ership by the state of all sig
nificant means Of productionD is
to preserve democracy. it must
be brought about step by steI
in a way which will not disrupt
the fabric of custom, law, ano
mutual confidence upon which
personal rights depend. That is
the transition must be piece
meal; it must be parliamentary,
it must respect civil liberties
and due process of law"
Here, at an earlier time, is
the theme of 1.-The affirmative
state And here, also, is an
other con- inuing Schlesin
ger premise that the intel
lectual' is charged with a re
sponsibility, growing out of lib
eral views and mental capacity
to guide the destinies of this
affirmative state"
