Why, We ASK

THE people of the United States and
of nations throughout the world
stood stunned and shocked at the news
Friday that President John F. Kennedy
had been shot during a parade in Dali
las, Texas. 1t couldn't be, we said to
ourselves. Within the hour the sad news
came that he had died of the wound by
a bullet from the gun Of fanatic. 1t
was still unbelievable - but true The
suspected assassin was arrested within
another hour, and forty-eight hours
later he had been killed by an assassin
as he was moved from one Jail to an
other
This swift series of events might not
have been too shocking in some nation
Of unstable government and political
upheavals, but in the United States they
take on serious proportions.
Why, we ask did it happen in our
country? A conclusive answer may
never be had since the suspected as
sassin himself was assassinated before
he made statement The suspected
man had bad record in the marine
corps, an expressed desire to renounce
his citizenship and become a Russian,

Severe Weather
Brings Loss In
Grazing Tests

Over the years winter graz
ing for steers can be expected
to produce a profit in Missis-
sippi but last winter showed
how severe weather can change
profit to loss.
Typical of many farm expert
ences is the record at the North
Mississippi Branch Experiment
Station at Holly Springs. Here
for the past three previous years
light calves had averaged max
ing a profit of SAP each, or ST.
per acre used for the ryegrass
winter pasture. Heavy calves
over the same period had re-
turned $22 per calf or $25 per
acre.
But the 1928 winter was
different. Zero weather killed
all the above-ground growth on
December Is and sustained cold
in January prevented recovery.
The calves were fed from Dec
ember 29 through April IL when
they were sold. When cost of
feed was added to money spent
for winter grazing crops,

have a hard time competing.
For this reason, turf grass re-
search workers at the Missis-
sippi Agricultural Experiment
Station have been seeking bet
ter winter lawn grass.
Eight cool season grasses
were compared in the winter of
1961-62. Only four of them -
three red fescue, Pennlawn,
Illahee, and common; and chew
ings fescue-gave results COM
parable to ryegrass. None per-
formed as we'll as ryegrass but
the fescue did much less damage
to the permanent sod. Moore ex-
tensive tests were made in the
winter of 1928.
w. R. Thompson, Jr., agrono-
mist engaged in turf grass re-
search at the Station, summed
up the two-year results as fol-
lows:
During both years of tests,
ryegrass produced a turf more
quickly than other species test
ed. However, varieties of creep
ing red fescue produced turf
that was only two to three
weeks later than ryegrass. In
the winter of 1962-1963 when
the low temperatures severely
injured the ryegrass, Kentucky
bluegrass and Illahee fescue
survived with little injury. Ken
lucky bluegrass was slower in
establishment than ryegrass or
creeping red fescue and persist
ed later in the spring causing
the permanent grass to lose
quality.

Washington, d. C. - The
Peace Corps estimates that it
will require at least 5000 Vol
unteers to meet the requests of
host country governments in
1864.
The@e needs include: 5000
teachers, 1000 community de-
velopment workers, 700 health
workers, 600 agricultural tech
nicians and TOO skilled trades
men, technicians and profession
al personnel.
The greatest demand is for
teachers - 5000 for secondary
schools, 1000 for elementary
and 500 for colleges and univer-
sites. An additional 500 Volun-
teers are needed for the fields
of physical, vocational and
adult education.
In the field of health, SOC
nurses of all kinds are needed
Another 200 persons will fill
posts as medical, laboratory and

Cotton Councils
Inner SanCtuIll
Opened to C0-ops

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 8 (Spec-
ial) - The number Of primary
raw cotton interests in the Ma
tional Cotton Council has been
increased from six to seven by
action Of the Councils Board Of
Directors.
Announcement came at the
conclusion Of the Boards fall
meeting in Columbia, s. c.,
Tuesday.
Invited to participate in the
Council through this additional
interest were cotton coopera-
tives engaged in the businesses
Of cotton ginning, warehous-
ing, merchandising, and cotton
seed crushing.
Like each Of the other six in
terests, the cotton cooperatives
will name delegates to the Coun-
Gil, and will have five Of these
serving on the Councils Board.
Originally, the Council was
composed Of five basic inter
ests: cotton producers; cotton
ginners; cotton warehousemen
and compressmen; cotton mer-
chants, shippers, and factors;
and cottonseed crushers.
The number was increased to
six in 1941, when cotton spin
ners were invited to participate
as a primary interest.
In other action at Columbia,
the Board sent a telegram to
President Kennedy expressing
appreciation for his efforts to
develop a program for removal
of the inequity occasioned by
the present two-price system
for cotton, as embodied in the
Cooley Bill CHR. 6196) and
urged every possible step to OBJ
tain immediate enactment OF
this legislation.
The Board also approved 9
resolution asking that in making
the acreage announcement fol-

Kennedy Waited Six Months to Do
 Extraordinary Job on Gen. De Caulle

This was slap in the face. It galled the United States, which re- sented the suggestion it was try ing to run Europe.
 4. He complained that while the United States talked of a multi national NATO nuclear force for Europe, that force would remain under US. control.
 He hit the mark there. Under law passed by Congress, this gov ernment must retain full control of nuclear weapons deciding whether or not to use them.
 On April 19 De Gaulle kicked the United States again by suggest ing France could not be sure of the intentions of it's allies, much less of its enemies.
 In short, from the American view, he had endangered the whole alliance.
 Against this background it is understandable why Kennedy on his present European trip has re- peatedly assured the allies the United States would defend Eu- rope from attack even if it meant attack on the United States.
 He said Tuesday that "the Unit ed States will risk it's cities to de- fend yours because we need your freedom to protect ours"
 But he went far beyond that by implying De Gaulle was playing into Soviet hands by casting doubt on the alliance and American in- tentions.
 He said: Those who would cast doubt on our pledge - those who would separate Europe from America or split one ally from an other would only give aid and l comfort to the men who make themselves our adversaries and welcome any Western disarray." | He called separate national de terrents" meaning De Gaulle''
 plans for a nuclear force separat from NATO's turning "th clock back"
 He went beyond the political and military and called again in most earnest terms for the kind of European economic unity De Gaulle has prevented. Any former coziness in the Kennedy-De Gaulle relationship is gone.

Press NeUs Andylst

WASHINGTON LR - President Kennedy waited six months until he got to Europe to do an extra ordinary job on French President Charles De Gaulle for the damage he had caused the Western Ali ance.
 In rough, deliberately planned major policy speech last Tuesday at Frankfurt, Germany, Kennedy, with all Europe listening, ripped into De Gaulle for suggesting America might run out on it's allies in case of attack. This was probably the harshest criticisms even though Kennedy did not mention De Gaulle by name that any US. President has made on an allied leader since the war.
 This made the relationship be- tween the two men frigid. It was already cold. De Gaulle pointedly had not asked Kennedy to stop off in France on his trip that takes in West Germany, Ireland, Britain and Italy.
 Of all the days in the year on which he could have belittled the United States, De Gaulle picked on the worst one, last Jan. IA, the day Kennedy delivered his state of the union message to Congress.
 That was an extremely sunny, optimistic Kennedy message which said: How fares the grand alli- ance? Free Europe is entering into new phase of its long and brilli- ant history"
 De Gaulle made the words look ludicrous before Kennedy got them out of his mouth. The Frenchman held a news conference just a few hours before Kennedy spoke. Tn. timing was no accident. He hold
 few such conferences.
 And, when he does, the question have to be submitted beforehand In summary, De Gaulle did these four things:
 l. He rejected this country's proposal for multi-national nu- clear force and proclaimed his de- termination to build separate French nuclear force. This was exactly what Kennedy didn't want. It meant one more nuclear power in the world and would be encouragement to other countries to do the same. 2. He slammed Europe's Com mon Market door in Britain's face, treating his British ally as an outsider
 This gunmed up American British hopes for a united Euro pean economic effort and weaken ed both economic and political unity among the allies.
 3. He said France opposed a Common Market under American leadership and domination.
