The Mississippi Genera.
l. legislative investigating
Committee this week uiSIrI
buted It's long awaited re-
pert on the ole Miss riots,
Which has peen in prepare
ton since last fall. Release
date for the l5-page oocu~
ment, which is only the
FIRST part of the full re-
port, was timed tor 500 p.
III. Wednesday.
G A Careful reading of the re-
port has added nothing new
to our own knowledge of
what actually took place dur
ing the desegregation crisis
and we doubt the public
will be impressed by it.
Frankly, we just don't be-
Aeve it gives an honest or
fair picture of, what hap
pened.
1t does nothing more than
support in toto, as was gen
orally expected, the official
invasion line laid down by.
Governor Ross Barnett and
the Citizens Councils at the
TIME and followed by them
ever since. The Legislative
Committee attempts to give
credence to that official line,
but we doubt seriously their
efforts will be successful. The
end result will probably be a
sad reflection on the homes
ty and honor of some state
officials - which won't help
us any in the eyes of the ma
ton.
The reports claims of in
human and cruel treatment
of riot prisoners on the part
Of U. S marshals at Oxford
should not be taken in 81
lence any longer by Attorney
General Robert Kennedy and
Deputy Attorney General
Burke Marshall.
These claims made by the
Mississippi Legislative Com
mittee should be answered
publicly at once by the JUS
tice Department.
IF they are true, let official
WASHINGTON sov so.
If they ere false, then let
them alsosayu so
Many Mississippians are
still honestly confused be-
cause Of the badly conflict
ing reports that have been
published.

shoes and try TO understand
how he thinks and feels.
We recognize the fact that
possibly the majority Of
white Mississippians are hes
liant, if not downright afraid,
to publicly oppose Governor
Ross Barnett in anything he
wants, or appears to want.
But surely the great mass
of people in Mississippi are
not going to stand back and
permit state tax funds to be
used for political purposes.
That is exactly what is 60.
ing to happen if citizens do
not rise up now and stop it.
Announced Friday was the
plan of the State Sovereignty
Commission to send speak
ers' into other southern
states to explain" the
Unpledged Elector Plan OF
which Governor Barnett is
leader or front man.
The purpose of the I'm
pledged Elector movement,
as everyone in Mississippi
knows, is to defeat the can
1idates of both major nation
81 political parties in 1864,
ct was conceived this timc
out of Illustration over the
Ole Miss desegregation con
troversy and represents an
effort to "get even" with
President Kennedy, whom
they appear to hate.)
What the Unpledged Elec-
tors hope to accomplish is to
be able to name the mex
president and vice president
of the United States.
They propose to do this by
withholding electoral votes
from the candidates of both
parties, thereby throwing the
election into the House OF
Representatives where each
state will have one vote. IN
this body they propose to
bargain in an effort to win
concessions on civil rights.
It will be a sad day for the
United States if a plan like
this ever succeeds = but that
is the objective.
If Governor Barnett wants
to engage in this political
activity on his own time and
at his own expense, that is
his privilege.
But when he undertakes to
use Sovereignty Commission
funds to send speakers to
promote the plan in other
southern states. that is a diff
ferent thing altogether. 1t ap-
pears he's trying to take over
the entire state and build one
great big political machine
which he and his unpledged
hackers (whom he has re-
fused thus far to IDENTIFY
would control.
! The Sovereignty Commits
sion is already violating the
Constitution of Mississippi

OF public funds it makes to

vate organization. is a rape

sharp criticism for North Amer

1T is to be regretted" he
said in the company's annual
report, that some newsprint
producers, especially in Scan
dinavia and North America
continue to increase productive
capacity at a faster pace than
world demand is increasing"
He noted that Bowaters had
expanded rapidly during the
past 10 years, but added II am
certain that in the present
climate the right policy is
to consolidate and strengthen"
present operations.
He said he believed newsprint
consumption In the United
States, the leading world mar
ket, would begin to improve
again before the end of the
year. Because Of the increased
productive capacity, however
"it may be some time before
equilibrium" between capacity
and consumption is reached, he

JESUS CLEANSED THE
TEMPLE:
According to the writer
Mark. the day after Jesus had
made His triumphant entry
into Jerusalem. He came with
His disciples from Bethany
into the Holy City and went
into the Temple. When Jesus
got into the Temple He be-
gan to drive out all those who
bought and sold. He also
turned over the tables which
money changers used. He
stopped all traffic through the
Temple. He taught those in
the Temple that the Scriptures
had already pointed out to
them that Gods house was to
be known as a house of prayer
by all nations, but they had

turned it into a den of thieves.
When Jesus entered the Court
of the Gentiles, which was
really place used for prayer
and preparation for worship,
He found that it was being
used as a place for CONNER
cializing. These people who
had to exchange their money
in order to get the required
coin for paying the Temple
tax were charged more than
was supposed to be charged.
Likewise the people who
bought their own animals and
doves for the sacrifice could
not use them because they
would be condemned by the
Temple inspector, although
the animals were good ones.
Then the people were advised
to buy their animals and
doves from the persons who
were selling them there in
the Temple Court.
When Jesus saw that the
place which was to be sacred,

who is over others. The Bible
makes use of these three
terms, even lord, Lord and
LORD. Christ qualities for
all three names. Lord means
one who is above and over
all and to designate one Lord
means that we submit and
come under, then look up to
Him and obey His commands.
1t is a contradiction to call
Christ Lord and do not the
acts which He commands, but
seek to do our own will. The
great question is, Why do peo-
pie call Christ Lord and do
The Mississippi enterprise., 1963-03-16

this method of answering a
question by asking a question.
AS in this case, this method
proved to be effective. Jesus
possessed all power in heaven
and earth and this gave Him
authority over men, sin and
nature.
PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:
Jesus authority is still be-
ing questioned today. Every
time the church speaks out
against the sins and evils of
this day, men want to know
who gave the church the
right to speak. Many times
the church fails to speak be-
cause of fear. But any church
that is afraid to speak and
exert its power against the
wrongs of men, is not the
church of Jesus Christ. The
church was given power to
witness to the authority OF
Jesus Christ all over the
world. This power is still
available in the church today
through the Holy Spirit. Only
when the church submits full
ly to the authority of Jesus
Christ and do His will can the
Christians be really free and
turn the world upside down.
The power Jesus possessed did
not make Him proud or fool.
ish. He was humble and self
denying. He was a servant to
all men.
