Accident Toll
In Mississippi
Stands AT 537

JACKSON (Special) - Lewis
Graeber, president, Mississippi
Safety Council, stated recently
that the rising death toll on
Mississippi streets and highways
has reached an epidemic
stage and if the trend contin-
ues 1868 would see the number
Of traffic deaths approach ZOO.
AS of Oct. %, 537 people had
been killed.
"This compares to $50 for the
same period in 1882" he said.
The Safety Council President
urged enforcement officers
throughout the state to intenSi-
fly their efforts to enforce exist
ing traffic laws.
Graeber said, "A look at the
causes of fatal accidents show
that in almost 100 per cent Of
the time, a violation Of the law
was involved"
According to Graeber, S m e
Of the common causes were:
speeding, failing to yield right
of way, driving while under the
influence and crossing the vel.

1t is fair and reasonable to
believe that Kennedy meant
that when he said it. It is
equally fair and reasonable to
report that he reneged on that
promise 100 per cent. He re-
neged, apparently, because a
civil rights bill before the Sem
ate in the winter-spring Of 1861
would have created civil war
within the Democratic party.
To renege was practical politics.
With both parties pledged on
filibusters you might think
something would be done. You
might, that is, unless you were

The meeting, held at Pasca-
goula City Hall, was called by
Post, local work unit con-
Servationist for Soil Conserva-
ton Service.
Kerley told the eight repre-
SentativeS that local county prop
erty owners could get addition
al income through recreational
use of their lands. AS an ex-
ample of multiple land use,"
he said dams used for flood
control could also be used for
recreational purposes.
He said about 100 small dams
were built in the state within
the last year.
The seven recreational ven
lures, which he said were ex-
planned more fully in US De-
partment of Agriculture Bulle-
tin No. 277, were vacation farms,
picnicking and sports centers,
fishing waters, nature recrea-
ton areas, hunting preserves,
camping and wildlife areas, and

ONIttCu n &G00 LAW
Recommended to the voters
for their serious consideration
is chapter VIII of former Pres
ident Eisenhower's just pub
lished account of his years in
the White House. mandate For
Change, Doubleday & CO..
The chapter title tells the
story: 1.-THE Platform-Promises
to Keep" It is a timely chap
ter.
A cancer in the tissue of
American politics today is the
malignant chicanery involved
in the drafting of presidential
campaign platforms. These ex-
travagant statements of par
ty purpose and policy tend
more to obscure than to illumi-
nate what actually is the pro-
gram of the candidates and Of
the political parties.
Moreover, the platform writ
ers knowingly write into the
platforms promises that cannot
he redeemed. This dishonesty
is a fraud upon the voters and
q disgrace to the American
way of life. To discover this
situation to exist can be a
shocker to an honest man, such
as Ike. In chapter VIII, he re-
lates that soon after his in
auguration he met at the White
House with Republican congress
sional leaders.
Ike Was Astonished
SIN this first meeting" he
continued, II said first that it
was my intention to redeem the
pledges Of the platform and Of
the campaign. To my astoniSh-
ment, 1 discovered that some
of the men in the room could
not seem to understand the
seriousness with which | re-
garded our platforms provi-
sions, and were amazed by my
uncompromising assertion that
1 was going to do my best to
fulfill every promise to which
/ had been a party.
s'More than once I was to
hear this view derided by prac-
tiual politicians who laughed
off platforms as traps to catch
voters"
So it was with a honest man
on discovering late in life that
men who we're otherwise hon
orable were, also, crooked IN
their dealings with the Ameri-
can people. In the harsh lam
guage Of reality, these politi-
clans lie to the people to OBJ
tain their votes. They get away
with it because both major par
ties and almost all politicians
accept this crooked practice as
normal and necessary.
Long Before Ike
This dishonesty was in style
long before Ike's 1852 campaign
and it continues undated. For
example, both the Democratic
and Republican platforms
promised in 1860 to do some
thing about Senate filibusters.
President Kennedy himself
made a campaign promise to
obtain enactment of civil rights
legislation early in his first
White House year. More specif-
ically: On Sept. 1, 1860, candi-
date Kennedy issued a state
ment which included this Ian
guage-"We pledge action to
obtain consideration of a civil
rights bill by the Senate early

First Lady

A SsNAA "AAbNA
First Lady Mrs. John r.
Kennedy had some advice for
the latest Kennedy family to
come to Washington, her
sister-in-law Joan said yes
terday.
Live close in town II you
want to see much Of your
husband" the First Lady
suggested to Mrs. Edward
Kennedy when the youngest
Kennedy brother won elec-
ton to the Senate.
The young Kennedys took
the advice, and are installed
in a rented house In George
town, which by coincidence is
across the street from the
Hugh D. Auchinclosses, Jac-
queline Kennedy's mother
and step-father.
Joan Kennedy invited re-
porters there yesterday for
tea and a press conference. A
tall, slim, poised blond, with
a soft voice and navy blue
eyes (she says, the 26-year-
old Senate wife handled her
first Washington press con-
ference with practiced ease.
Occasionally Evasive
She was courteous and re-
sponsive, even to the inevita-
BILE silly questions. She skill
fully evaded the ones that
might have embarrassed her
husband.
These came when reporters
asked If President Kennedy
had any advice for her hus-
band at the private family
dinner the two brothers and
their wives had at the
White House Monday night.
NO." she said. Mostly the
President was asking Ted how
he liked the new friends he
is making in the Senate, and
his impression of some of
them"
Who impressed him?" a
reporter asked.
Looking somewhat taken
aback, Mrs. Kennedy said, Il
really don't remember and
I don't want to say!
Best Husband
II think Ted loves to talk
to some of the older men,
bers who have been around
25 or 80 years. They have
all been very friendly" she
added smoothly.
When a reporter asked,
Would you like to see Teddy
run for President some day?"
she replied, wide-eyed: II
don't think / would. Some
thing wonderful has just
happened to him now. I'm

And would she compare

well, he has a terrific
sense of humor, like the
President. But he's very gay

He tries to make everyone
have a wonderful time"
Mrs. Kennedy said she and
her husband have taken a
six month lease on their
rented, furnished house,
which belongs to a retired
Navy admiral and his wife.
At the end of that time she
expects they will buy their

EXCLUSIVELY YOURS
House WiI|ed TO Red Cross
BY BETTY BEALE
Star staff Writer


The late Mrs. Gilbert
Hitchcock's will has been
read and the National Amer
lean Red Cross has received
notice that she bequeathed
her Washington house to the
great philanthropic organiza-
ton. The last such property
left to the Red Cross was the
Dupont Circle residence of
Cissie Patterson, which was
subsequently bought by the
Washington Club.
Mrs. Hitchcock's home was
the handsome fieldstone
dwelling at 2817 Woodland
drive. 1t undoubtedly would
be worth considerably more in
today's market, but Is years
ago 1t sold for around $780,
600.
The very hkeable Washing
ton widow left 1t to be used
as the Red Cross may see fit.
but she did include a sugges-
ton In this codicil Of her will
that 1t not be sold to an en-
bassy or a chancery. Since the
Saudi Arabian Embassy is
just below her house across
the street, and the Sudanese
are at the top of that block,
not to mention others in that
area, she probably disliked
the thought of adding any
more cars or offices to such
a beautiful residential area.
The board of governors of
the ARC could decide to keep
1t as the residence for the
present and all future presi-
dents of the Red Cross. Mod
est, hardworking Gen. Alfred
Gruenther picked a far less
valuable house on Thirty
fifth place facing Massachu-
setts avenue traffic, when the
Red Cross asked him to make
a selection. But now that
one in a more protected resi-
Dental area has been
donated, 1t would seem a pity
not to keep 1t and sell the
other.
