BY Hazel Brannon Smith

Many Mississippians dur
ing the past week have lived
Oxford all over again in Gov
ernor Wallace's crude and
futile mishandling of Ala
bama's school desegregation.
Nine months ago they could
not recognize Governor Bar
nett's actions as defiance and
resistance of court orders.
They could not then see
where his handling of our
situation, the concentrations
with U. S. Marshals, all wide
ly televised and publicized,
were working the people in
to a frenzy with appeals to
prejudice that could not help
but end in disaster.
But in the light of hind
sight many could see what
Wallace's actions were: the
work of a callous and cyni-
cal opportunist who disre-
garded the public welfare
and safety of the people of
Alabama, as we'll as that of
the school children, to seek
a kind of glory and headlines
for himself. This Little Ma
poleon, as we have called
him before, actually has vi
sions of running for president
of the United States.
The bombings in Birming-
ham, the killing of a man
there, the disorders which
began at the schools Tuesday
among the school children,
all of these were brought on
by Wallace himself. AT the
same time he was saying his
actions were designed "to
prevent violence"
Fortunately there is ample
evidence to indicate that the
people of Alabama have not
been fooled by the bad act
ing of their Governor - and
one day ne will have to &C
count for his performance.

If the reader was asked to
name the most conservative
men in Congress, both in the
Senate and the House, would
he not head the list with the
names of all our Mississippi
Congressman?
Almost certainly.
Without exception here at
home our representatives in
Washington have achieved an
image of conservatism that
most Mississippians swear by.
Yet when a study of con-
s%ervative leadership in Con-
gress was made there was
not one Mississippian on the
list - and not one South
erner, unless COP Rep. Alger
of Texas is counted.
What's more everyone of
the Congressman on the
most conservative" list were
Republicans!
Of course there are q lot
of factors that enter into a
rating" poll of any kind.
The outcome depends a great
deal on the questions asked,
or in this case the way the
Congressman voted on a
number of questions or issues
that supposedly reflect con-
sentative or liberal attitudes.
For more on this interest
ing subject read our Editor
ial of Note" this week taken
from the McComb Enterprise
Journal of Oliver Emmerich.
We saved this editorial for
about five weeks thinking it
might be of more interest to
our readers as they begin to
think about whom they will
support for governor of Mis-
sissippi in the November
general election.
1t. Governor johnson, now
Democratic nominee for gov
ernor, said this week there
is no difference in the two
major political parties ma
tionally. This poll proves
otherwise, we think.
