Mississippi Delta planters
struck it rich this year with a
bumper cotton crop and many
on the brink of bankruptcy land
ed in the black for the first
time in years.
The a-10, 900 square
miles Of fertile soil hugging the
Mississippi River from Mem
phiS to Vicksburg = literally
turned to cotton this year.
The majority of the farmers
attribute the excellent crop to
good weather conditions, intensi-
fled insect control and a rain
free harvest season.
However, some planters like
John Potter of Arcola credit
their high yields to "a lot of
luck" Potter and his two broth
erS, cultivating 1,100 acres of
cotton in Washington County,
averaged about three bales an
acre on ground that usually
yields little more than Ia bales.
To the north of the PotterS,
Jack Dodson of Clarksdale
called his high yield a "bonan-
"a" and said he was still
shocked to find he had harvest
ed 800 bales from 1856 acres.
The Department of Agricul-
ture estimated Mississippi'S cot
ton crop would be slightly under
two million bales, approximate
ly Is per cent above the 1862
crop. About 98 per cent of the
crop has been gathered, mostly
by mechanical pickerS.
According to USDA figures
the yield was approximately zoo
pounds per acre-an all-time
high for the state and almost
200 above the estimated nation
al average yield of SIG pounds.
Federal allotments account for
the decrease in bales despite a
greater yield per acre.
Both quantity and quality are
up, as atteSted by veteran cot
ton merchant A. G. Paxton,
owner of the Paxton Cotton Co.
at Greenville.
Paxton said the states crop
was getting the nod on both the
local and foreign markets or
the merits of its spinning quail
tiles. Paxton praised its fine

Here's why you'll tell other people you like it.

Some people think it's a bit frivolous
to like a car just because it looks SO
nice. So what you'll have to do is bone
up a little on all the other things that
make a Pontiac a Pontiac.
Wide Track, for instance. Wide Track
is what does away with fitting your
way around turns. Pontiac's smoother,
quieter ride is another thing you
might point out.
Be careful, though. One ride in this
Car and everybody's going to think
you're made of money. You can solve
that problem by telling what you paid.

Political Game
For GoIdwater
People Changes

WASHINGTON CUPID - The
Goldwater for president camp
is struggling off claims that its
candidate has been badly hurt
by political shifts caused by the
death of President Kennedy.
1t is preparing to drive ahead
even though its candidate, Sen.
Barry Goldwater of Arizona,
has SHE'D away from any COM
ment of a political nature since
President Johnson replaced Ken
nedy in the White House. Gold
water has not declared himself
a candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination.
GOldWater hackers ansWer
questions as to whether their
candidate has been weakened
with arguments Of their own,
such as:
He still has far more ma
tional convention delegates in
sight than any potential rival.
-Goldwater has a large corps
of dedicated followers ready to
ring dOorbellS and raise money
with more zeal than any cam
paign organizations which might
be built for other possible can
didateS.
Although Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York is an
announced contender, the oppo.
sition to Goldwater still has not
agreed on a candidate.
Assuming that Johnson viii
be the 1864 Democratic nominee
the Goldwater partiSans are
ready to admit that they are
playing in a new ball game but
they are not ready to abandon
their chosen captain.
If and when Goldwater be.
comes an active candidate, he
already has the framework of a
national campaign organization.
A start has been made toward
setting up a national headquar-
tiers in a hotel adjacent to the
Senate office buildings. 1t is I'M
der the direction of Denison
Kitchel, a Phoenix, Ariz., attor-
ney and an old friend of Gold
water.
Kitchel officially is manager
of Goldwater's campaign for re-
election to the Senate and I'M
officially a coordinator of ma
tional political activities.
Two tasks undertaken by
Kitchel are research and the
enlistment of expert advisers
for Goldwater from college cam
puses. He also is keeping an
eye on the work of the National
Draft oldwater Committee, an
organization set up last April.
Goldwater has disclaimed any
responsibility for the draft COM
mittee.

A Saddened world continued
to carry the life Of John Fitz-
gerald Kennedy to future gener-
atoms today by giving his name
to its villages, its schools and
its children.
The grief that attended the
Presidents assassination has
been followed in the past week
by tribute from every corner Of
the globe-a testament to poll
teal leadership and courage In
an uneasy age.
Berlin and Latin America,
two of Kennedy'S major con-
Germs as President, were among
the first to honor him.
In the divided city, a quarter
million BerlinerS gathered to
dedicate to the late President
the huge square in front of city
hall, where Kennedy last sum-
mer so dramatically won their
hearts by saying that he, too,
was a Berliner.
Residents Of Barrio Del Techo
a housing development on the
outskirts Of Bogota, Colombia,
voted in a mass meeting to
change the name Of their little
town to John F. Kennedy Vii
lage. The President personally
inaugurated the Alliance for
Progress project in December,
1861.
Across Latin America and
Europe, the names of school
houses, streets and plazas were
being changed in tribute to
Kennedy.
Lebanon renamed downtown
Rue Clemenceau in Beirut as
Kennedy Street. Algerian PreSi-
dent Ahmed Ben Bella dedicat-
ed a suburban AlgierS square to
Kennedy and the small fishing
village Of Luanco on SPANS
northwest coast named one Of
its streets after the President.
Not only abroad, but in his
own country was Kennedy hon
ored. Tributes came alike from
impressive legislative halls and
modest homes.
Americas space port, Cape
Canaveral, was renamed Cape
Kennedy. Resolutions were
adopted across the nation to re-
dedicate streets and express
ways to Kennedy. The proud
mother of newborn twins in Chi
cago named them John Fitzger-
aid and Jacqueline Bowler.
Scores of resolutions and Sug-
gestions were made for honor
ing the late President.
A New Hampshire congress-
man proposed that a peak in
the states presidential noun
tain range be renamed for Ken
|nedy. A West Virginia newspa-
per suggested that the state
consider changing its name to-
Kennedy or Kennediana.

Moscow Hints
Oswald Was Spy
For US There

MOSCOW (UPI)-The Soviet
Union, which has denied any
connection with President Ken
nedy's accused assassin, Lee H.
Oswald, has hinted in two
newspaper reports that Oswald
spied for the United States dur
ing his two and one-half years
in Russia.
Oswald, who was killed two
days after the Presidents STAY
ing, was reported to have de-
Scribed himself as a Marxist.
Soviet statements have rejected
this and denied that the Com
munists were connected in any
way with the assassination,
which they have blamed on a
plot by American right : wing
extremists.
Pravda, the Soviet Communist
party newspaper, went a step
further Sunday and quoted a re-
port that Oswald had identified
himself as an American spy.
1t said a Fl. Worth stenog-
rapher named Pauline Bates
was helping Oswald write an
"anti-Soviet book" on his stay
here from October, 1859, to
May, 1862.
"This book, she said, dealt
with his Sojourn in the Soviet
Union" Pravda said. "In it, he
sharply criticized the Soviet IN
ion.
Besides, the stenographer
added, Oswald limited that he
had worked as an American Sc
cret agent" the Pravda report
added.
Trud, the Soviet trade union
newspaper, carried a similar
hint:

respondents will succeed in find
ing out to what extent his (Os-
wald's) hints Of belonging to the

northern shores of Lake Ontario.
In the spring these migrants
work their way north to lay
eggs on milkweeds and start a
new generation.
There is another way for In
sects to pass the winter that
proves annoying to housewives :
Information of the adult insect.
And where else would an in
sect go to pass the winter In a
better place than in our homes?
One of the most annoying house
hold hibernators is the box elder
bug. This Is a red and black
bug that can accumulate by the
dozens or even hundreds on the
sides Of homes where box elder
trees grow. Eventually they
crawl through small cracks In
the walls yes, all houses have
sucn cracks. Once inside, they
settle down for the winter. But
they don't count on the tropical
effect Of a modern heated house,
and sometimes their winter
sleep IS broken early by this
heat. Then they wander around
seeking a way out, only to end
up inside the house. Fortunately
they almost never cause any
damage or do any biting, but
the average housewife is not re-
ceptive to bugs crawling around
the place or climbing up lace
curtains.
To control this pest, spray
them with malathion to which
some liquid detergent is added.
The insecticide alone won't kill
them, 50 be sure to use the de-
tergent. It is best to apply this
spray outside the house as the
bugs congregate on the tree or
foundation of the house. Inside
use a pyrethrum pyrethrins)
pressurized spray called an
aerosol. This only knocks the
bugs down, SO you will need to
sweep them up and burn them or
dispose of them some other way
SO that they don't get back on
their feet to re-invade your
rooms. If you have box elder
trees that bear seeds, get an
axe and prune the tree at
ground level. The bugs don't
seem to survive on the male
trees ones without seed.
Many other insects hibernate
in houses during the fall and
winter. Most of them can be
controlled with sprays Of DDT.
They include flies and hornets
