John Ferris, price forecast
er at Michigan State Univer-
Slty, says that Hog farmers
can profit by feeding to a
little heavier weight this sum-
mer.' He says to try to have
hogs On the market in July
or August, but don't sell light
Just to hit the best price. Mr..
Ferris also says that "dis-
couDJS on 240 10. hogs is u.s.
ually small in September and
shouldn't fall off much from
August prices"
Last week l saw a producer
sell 26 head of hogs that he
bought on April 10Th. These
pigs weighed 5000 lbs. on
April 18th, and weighed 200
lbs. on June 10th. These pigs
were bought at the Batesville
Feeder Pig Sale and were
good clean hogs. This shows
US that the right kind of hogs
will grow faster than the poor
quality hogs.
Dairying in Holmes County
is one of the smaller livestock
enterurises. We only have G
diaries in the county. But all
OF our dairymen are good and
are doing a good job of pro-
ducing milk.
Last year dairying was a
900 million industry in Mis-
slsslppi. Add to this the in
come received for surplus
dairy cattle and the culls and
we probably would have a
$55 million industry.

John H. Lyons, MD.

DR.. John H. Lyons was an eminent
surgeon. His professional attainments
were outstanding. Yet it is probable
that he will be remembered in Wash
ington as much for his character as
man as for his skill as a doctor of
medicine.
Among his traits of character were
gentleness, a quiet humor and very
genuine and unSelfish concern for the
welfare of those who sought his services.
He created affection as we'll as respect.
The close of his long and useful life,
so prominently identified with the
progress of the healing arts in Wash
ington, is a peculiarly personal loss to
an unusually large number of people
who met him first as doctor and came
to know him as friend.

Virqiniu Has an Interest

Virginia Is manifesting an under
standable interest in efforts to preserve
the natural scenery along the Maryland
shore Of the Potomac, opposite Mount
Vernon. It's distinguished native citizen,
George Washington, enjoyed the view
across what he called my river" I'm
doubtedly he would heartily indorse the
move in the Virginia General Assembly
to support Federal plans for a park
on that part of the Maryland shore
which faces Washington'S Fairfax County
home and tomb.
Congress already has authorized
purchase of this land by the Interior
Department, to meet recurrent threats
of undesirable construction operations
in that area. AS result of this legis-
lation the Washington Suburban San
itary Commission has dropped plans for
building a sewage treatment plant at
the mouth of Piscataway Bay, within
sight of Mount Vernon. Private devel-
opers long have had their eye on other
tracts in the vicinity, however, and
have not given up hope of invading
the shore. This is because Congress
has not yet voted any funds for pur-
chasing the land in question.
1t is with view to securing the
necessary Federal appropriation at this
session of Congress that the Virginia
Legislature has stepped into the pic
ture. A resolution urges the States
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress to press for such an appropriation.

the transaction is made available. And
it is unfair to leave property owners
on the Maryland shore up in the air
as to the ultimate fate of their land.

Gracious Guide

Although other First Ladies have
done much to arouse public interest and
pride in the White House, none has done
a more effective job in this direction
than Mrs. John F. Kennedy-with the
help of television. Thousands of citizens
visit the historic home of the Presidents
each year, but few in the past have had
the benefit of personal guidance by the
Presidents wife. Now, through the gra-
ciouSneSS of Jacqueline Kennedy, mil
lions of men, women and children have
been taken on a personally conducted
tour, via TV. And the net effect, as Mrs.
Kennedy wished it to be, was to give the
public at large sense of joint proprie-
quaintance with the mansion could
arouse.
Nor could the public have asked for
more charming and informative guide
one who obviously takes pride in the
great house and it's traditions and who
enjoys preserving those traditions and
telling others about them. We commend
Mrs. Kennedy on the fine work she has
done in this field, both through per-
SOIld1 dGCcIlGlOIl d1lu I1lTOuSu GIlc Sp6Cldl
Fine Arts Committee which she has
created to advise on the restoration and
maintenance of the rooms and their
furnishings. And we are glad to note
that the President, in a similar mood, is
watching carefully the plans for devel-
opment of Lafayette Square, which,
after all, may properly be regarded as
q historic mort of tho White House reS-
ervaticn.

Indian Election

The principal interest of Western
nations in the ten-day voting now going
on in India centerS upon single par
liamentary contest in the North Bombay
district. For it is there that KrShna
Menon, midas Minister of Defense, is
fighting to- retain his seat in the Lok
Sabha, lower house of the national
assembly.
Few men in contemporary interna-
tional affairs, or in those of his own
country, are so consistently controver-
sial or so seemingly gifted in irritating
others as this first lieutenant of Prime
Minister Nehru. AS the spokesman for
his governments so-called neutralism in
the United Nations, he has found it easy
to be excessively critical of Western
policies and comparably tolerant toward
Communist behavior in almost any
situation. At home, he was relatively
calm about Communist Chinese viola
tionS of the Indian frontier, but was in
the forefront of those demanding that
the Portuguese be driven out of Goa
positions which have been under fire by
his campaign opponent. His rival in this
case, A. J. B. Kripalani, has the backing
of three minority parties, including the
new provost Freedom (Swatantra)
Party Although Mr. Menon is favored,
he is reported running scared" and Mr..
Nehru has been campaigning hard,
almost angrily, for him.
In India as whole, the Nehru-led
Congress Party is expected to win an
other parliamentary majority although
by smaller margin than at present. The
Communists, rejecting some of the
division that has developed between
Russian and Chinese versions, are ex-
pected to add only few seats at best
For the longer term, greater interest
centers upon the showing of the Free
dom Party, making its first entry in a
national election and headed by group
of former Congress Party conservatives
who are strongly anti-socialist and
highly critical of both Nehru and Menon.
One hope of the new party is that good
showing in this case will widen the split
between right and left wings of the Con-
gresS Party, and eventually turn India
toward a more conservative, pro-free
enterprise and pro-Western political
course. This is hope that will have full
support in our country.

When the Sun Is Shininq'

- It would be unreasonable to quarrel
with President Kennedy'S thesis that
"the time to repair the roof is when the
sun is shining" That being so, in terms
of the Nations economic well-being,
there is logic in the idea of carefully
prepared plan of accommodating CO.
operative Federal, State and local par
ticipation-to be applied in early stages
of a business recession and an accom-
panying increase in unemployment.
Mr.. Kennedy has now submitted
such plan to the Congress. The heart
of it calls for "stockpile" of public
works projects which pass the test of
being essential to public needs, capable
of early initiation and completion within
twelve months, having high labor con-
tent, and not merely being substitutes
for other normal public expenditures.
Activation of the program would de-
pend, first, upon a showing of increasing
unemployment over a period of months
and, second, upon determination by the
President that use of the standby au-
thority is justified in terms of the full
employment law. AS proposed, the pro-
gram would have a S2-bllllon value
divided between direct Federal eXpendi-
lures, grants and loans.
The true merit of such a program
unqueStionably depends upon its plan
ming and execution. Public works can
become public "boondoggles," offering
a quick and easy way to distribute Fed
eral funds with small return in relieving
unemployment or in providing worth
while capital Improvements. On the
other hand, as the President said in his
letter to Congress, there is an existent

Sdnto DOMINGO

Constantine Brown in his
article on United States for
eign policy restates what has
been thought by anyone who
looks over this area without
the cobWebS of iSmS and So
cial prejudices. What he says
about conditions in Santo Do.
mingo is pertinent; it ought
to be read by every thinking
American and by the Presi-
dent of the United States
and his State Department;
but these things are not like
ly to be read there.
Today, under our manage
ment and none other, Santo
Domingo is in debt $40 mil
lion; it has 100000 unem-
ployed; its peso is worth 20
cents in the international
market, and it has no for
eign exchange to buy food
necessary to feed it's people.
When I was there a few years
ago anyone who wanted to
know about it also knew that
a Dominican peso was worth
100 American cents; he knew
that Santo Domingo had no
foreign debt; and more i'm
portant he knew that the
government did not allow any
man or his family to be I'M
employed or destitute. Today
we are told by a national
publication here that the
areas of Dominican prosper
ity are in the hands of three
American companies - the
United Fruit Company, the
South Puerto Rico Sugar
Company, and the Alcoa
Aluminium Company. The old
dictatorship was hard, of
course, but not to the extent
Of the new one which has
imported unemployment, a
worthless peso, and a for
eign debt.
Now I ask, is this the best
we can do for Latin America?
Is this what the alliance for
progress has in store for the
countries to the south? I say
the State Department could
profitably employ Constan-
tine Brown now, for later on
they will have to employ the
United States marines.

Strictly Political

The spectacle of Congressman being
threatened, in effect, with reprisals at
the polls if they vote their convictions
on the question of creating an urban
affairs department is not an admirable
one. Yet this is the consequence of
injecting a racial issue into the urban
affairs debate.
1t began when the President an
nounced in advance that Robert G.
Weaver, a Negro, would be named to
the new Cabinet-level post if it should
be created. This automatically insured
the opposition of Southern Democrats.
But it raised thorny political question
for Republicans, especially in the House.
Most of them would not be opposed
to the appointment of Mr. Weaver to
a Cabinet-level post But they are
opposed to the creation of a Depart
ment of Urban Affairs on the ground
that it would lead to costly extension
of the Federal bureaucracy. AS of now,
however, they find themselves in some
thing of political trap. If they vote
their beliefs-that is, if they vote
against the Presidents urban affairs
plan, they will be accused of doing so
because they do not want to see Negro
in Cabinet post The stage for this
was set by the President, and the back
drop was supplied Sunday by Mr..
Weaver when, in his first public COM
ment, he said he was sure "the minority
group people will react very adversely
against those" who vote against the
Presidents plan.
1t is deplorable that the fact of
Mr.. Weaver's race is alternating Southern
Democratic votes, for he seems fully
qualified for the post to which he would
be named. 1t is even more deplorable,
however, that the fact of his race is
being used in an attempt to coerce
members of Congress into voting for
a Government reorganization plan in
which, on it's merits, they do not be-
lieve. This may be representative of
the Kennedy brand of bare-knuckle
domestic politics. But we doubt that
all of it's implications have been thought
through.

ally true when the same feel
ing of civic responsibility
which leads one to participate
in community activities also
leads to a desire to have a
voice in the election.
In November, 1861 a group
of civic-minded residents
registered at the Cecil County
Court House. Several weeks
later we received letters from
the Board of Election Super
visors that our registrations
were cancelled. on the
grounds that we were not
legally citizens of Maryland.
1t seemed rather incongruous
that Maryland could consider
us as citizens for purposes of
taxation. but declare us as
non-citizens for purposes of
voting.
The group sought legal 'ad-
vice. According to my lin
tied understanding of the
subtle legal points involved,
it appears that the weight of
legal opinion has been that
because the Federal Govern
ment exercises exclusive jur-
isdiction over its property,
the residents thereon were in
fact not residents of the
State; consequently, they
could not vote, and until
1947 they could not be taxed.
At that time, Congress
passed the Buck Act which
gives the States the right to
tax (and collect tax from
such residents. This was, of
course, a Just piece Of legis-
lation for such residents do

use the facilities of the State
which surrounds their en-
clave. Our point of view is
that if Congress gave up suf-
ficient jurisdiction to tax and
collect it, then the exclusive
jurisdiction principle cannot
hold any longer from a logi-
cal point of view. 1t should
be possible, therefore, for the
State to simply pass a bill
defining such residents as
legal residents of the State,
providing they can meet all
other requirements. Our
group, which includes most
of the $50 residents of voting
age, is therefore introducing
a bill into the Maryland Leg
islature to accomplish just
that.
In the event That we are
unable to accomplish our
goal IN the Legislature, we
shall take the issue to the
courts. We have a firm be-
lief that the law must be and
is built upon what is moral
ly right. 1t seems difficult
for us to believe that in this
era of great awareness of
civil rights, in this time of
awakening of many people to
their social and civic respon-
sibilitieS - individuals who
should and want to vote
should be deprived of that
right. If legislation can en-
able the States to collect
taxes, then legislation or the
courts should be able to
quickly give us a vote.

Governments Men Without q Country

At the head of Chesapeake
Bay, in Cecil County, is
located the Veterans Admin
istration Hospital, Perry
Point. On this Federal en-
clave about $50 adults of
voting age rent quarters; they
are employees (and wives of
employees of the hospital.
They represent a wide spec
trum of occupations, but the
majority are in the profess
sions of medicine, psychiatry,

Many of the elective offices
in these organizations are
filled by Perry Point resi-
rents. They pay their Federal
taxes; they also pay all
Maryland taxes. Except for
the fact that they rent Gov
eminent property, there is no
distinction to be made be-

live on Federal property, they
cannot vote. When one is
