calls and letters from throughout the
state and South flooded the capital.
The voices urging caution were
few. Congressman Frank Smith stated
on September 14th whether we like
it or not the question of state VS.. fed
eral law was settled a hundred years
ago." He further said that Barnett's
acts threaten the existence of our
great university" and that Barnett
would lead the state down another
blind alley One of two members of
the Mississippi legislature who placed
themselves on record as opposing the
governor, predicted that the result
would be "~strife, discord and violence"
The other member fOresaw Inevitable
bloodshed, insurrectiOn and anarchy
The overwhelming roar of public ap-
prOval drowned out these few futile
protests. Indeed, anyone who dared to
disagree with the governor was imme-
diately tagged as an "'integrationist.'
In the days that followed, the peo-
pie of Mississippi were treated to the
spectacle of their Ross" twice sue
cessfully confronting Meredith and the
federal marshals and routing them.
The enthusiasm of the people reached
fever pitch. In this mass hysteria rea-
son and logic were abandoned. The
headers of nearly every community,
bankers, lawyers, doctors, businessmen
and workers went on an orgy of re-
bellion against constituted authority
and their federal government.
The marshalling of the state high
way patrol, sheriffs, peace officers and
deputies" on the campus of the Uni
versity of Mississippi onioSeptemberlc
26th to openly challenge the hated
'feds' brought back visions of the
War Between the States. A state SEN
ator prepared a resolution for intro
duction in the state Senate calling for
Mississippi to secede from the federal
union. Another state senator was
cheered by his colleagues when he
called for victory regardless of the
cost in money, regardless of the cost
in prestige, regardless of the cost in
human life"
In this atmosphere of hate, it was
Inevitable that blood would be shed. 1t
simply became a question of whose
blood = and when.
The sudden %capitulation by Gov.
Barnett on the afternoon of September
30th shocked the state. Many refused
to believe that he had surrendered. The
sheriffs and peace officers standing by
ready to oppose the federal rlarshals
had no advance warning. Some orga-
nized hasty posses" and sped to Ok
ford. Among the grim volunteers
who appeared in the City of Oxford
that tragic night were men who had
been organized, recruited and armed by
peace officers of the state sworn to
maintain peace and order. Others were
nc better than members of a lynch
mob - and animated by the same
spirit. Denied their prey, they stoned
federal troops, including their own fell
low Mississippians in the National
Guard, and made the peaceful city of
Oxford a scene of confusion, disorder
and despair.
Two men met their death that
night, score were injured, property
damage was high, and a great univer-
sity was deluged in turn by federal
marshals, a rioting mob and federal
troops.
We had not won the victory but
Indeed we had paid a price regardless
of money, regardless of prestige and
regardless of human life"

81 billion a year to prove

The Communist Party en-
ploys ~agitators and profess

people are sent to special
schools. In such schools some
are trained for activists in
the country, some for acti-
visits in towns, and still
others for activists overseas.
In these schools the students
are depersonalized and re-
shaped according to the way
the Communist want them.
These carefully trained and
constantly supervised cadres
are the main movers of pro-
paganda. In every country
of the world they are hume

All ass
Opening lead: -Four of clubs.
North didn't enjoy jumping to
three hearts with only three
trumpS, but he couldn't think of
a better bid. To tell the truth,
neither can l.
South went on to game even
though his hearts were headed
by K-8. His contract would have
been better if he had held K-9,
but South couldn't see this at
the time.
Declarer won the first trick in
dummy with the queen of clubs
and Immediately returned the
king of diamonds. West took the
ace, and that was that. Four
hearts bid and made.
The defenders could take two
spades, but nothing else. De-
clarer could ruff a third spade
in dummy if the opponents led
the suit a third time. In any
case, he could draw trumps and
run off enough tricks in d.
Almonds and clubs to make the
contract.
Should Wait
West should wait to let his
ace Of diamonds grow ripper. In
stead of taking the first di-
almond, West should wait for the
second diamond trick.
Then West leads a third d.
almond, and East ruffs with the
nine Of hearts. If South over
ruffs, West will get a trump
trick. If South fails to Over-ruff,
the defenders get a trump trick
then and there in addition to
their diamond and two spades.
South cannot avoid this fate
by drawing trumps, since then
the defenders can take three
spade tricks and the ace of d.
Almonds.
Daily Question
AS dealer you have passed.
The next player bids one di-
almond, your partner passes,
and the other opponent bids one
heart. You hold:
AKJ742 jos . A972%42
What do you say?
Answer: Pass. 1t is very dan
gerous to Overcan on a weak
suit when your partner passes
and both opponents bid. (The
actual bid of one spade was
made in a match in Europe, but
is not recommended

Noted Author Lectures At
Jackson State College

DIR. H. r. Jolliffe, author of
TALES FROM THE GREEK
DRAMA and journalistic in
structor at Michigan State
University, lectured to the
teachers and students of the
Project Enrichment Workshop
by telephone from his office.
Mrs. B. K. Moore greeted
DR.. Jolliffe before the lecture
and informed him that the
Project Enrichment students
were using his TALES FROM
THE GREEK DRAMA as a
textbook and had found it
quite interesting and most
helpful in following DIR. Ha-
daS' lectures on Great Ideas
of Antiquity"
In his speech DR.. Jolliffe
explained the motives and
persons who influenced his
writing the Greek tales, and
he modestly gave some of his
personal background expert
ences which gave him a know
ledge of drama.
The authors discussion in
cluded an explanation of many
of the passages of the social
trends found in his Greek
tales, and paralleled those
trends with those of our pres
ent social order.
1t is felt that as a student
of the classics, a teacher, and
a newsman, III. r. Jolliffe is
peculiarly fitted to bring these
old stories vividly to modern
readers.
