Ii Governor Paul B. John
son has been elected COVER
nor of Mississippi.
Mr.. Johnson was elected
without our vote, readers will
not be surprised to learn.
But come January he will
be our governor, too, and we
sincerely wish for him a hap
ply and successful admins
tration. We hope Mississippi
will continue to grow and
prosper in every field under
his direction.
We shall support him in
everything he undertakes for
the betterment of our state,
just as we have Governor
Ross Barnett during the past
four years.
MIR. Johnson is aware of
the fact that he will be gov
ernor of all 2,290,000 Missis-
sippians = not just the ten
percent who voted in the
general election Tuesday (of
whom some 40 percent voted
for his opponent). His respon-
sibility to all the people of
Mississippi is just as great as
his obligation to the seven
percent who put him in off
ice. He will need the friend
ship and help of the other
ninety-three per cent If his
administration is to make any
kind of progress.
After the bitter campaign
and name-calling in the De-
mocratic primaries, it may be
a little difficult for him to
get the support he needs. But
if he honestly and sincerely
wants the cooperation of his
fellow Mississippians he can
get it.

Mr.. Patterson introduced

Incomplete unofficial re-
turns late Wednesday showed
Johnson having 192,625 votes
to 118, lat for Phillips in 1876
of the states 1875 precincts.
Gartin led the ticket
throughout and 1913 precincts
gave him 1872 $3.50 ballots and
Morse, his opponent, 64,170.
MI. Phillips, a 38-year-old
Jackson attorney and former
Democrat, in a statement
made about 1000 p. m., con-
graduated Gov. Johnson on
his victory and said: Eve
lost the battle, but we
haven't lost the war -. with
in the next two or three
years we're going to see a
much stronger Republican
Party in our state -. we've
got a good strong two-party
system already -" Phillips
said he intended to take a
few days rest and then re-
turn to his law practice and
working for the Republican
party"
Governor-elect johnson ac-
knowledged Phillips congra-
tulatory message by issuing
a victory statement in which
he said: g.. l appreciate his
congratulations, of course, but
he is wrong -. it is not my
victory, but the victory OF
the people who will not be
chained by a two-party sys-
tenn" He said the election
"soundly repudiated the
COP" which he charged
would divide and embitter
u.s."
His victory, he continued,
was lover the Kennedys', the
Adlai Stevensons', the Javits',
and the Northern Democrats
who are overlords and would
like to destroy our way of
life"
johnson said his victory
was "for truth, courage, en-
durance, and for faith :. be
cause his supporters had been
"impervious to the poison
darts Of deception and sland-
en-"
Mr.. johnson told his sup
porters: Il shall not fail you
in this trust" He said he
planned to take a few days
rest and then go to work on
a legislative program.
Certainly the last two
months should have been
consumed in getting ready
for a state legislative ses-
sion," he affirmed.
"This third primary has
consumed this time for me-"
he said, a reference to the
general election.

LEON EARSO

NAME Leon Pearson might not have rung too many
bells in these parts, but a number of our citizens recognized
it, as they followed his work as critic at large for the National
Broadcasting System. He was Drew Parsons younger bro
Their, which brings to mind the name of the first civilian gov
ernor Of these ISlandS-Paul M. Pearson.
LEON PEARSON was born in Evanston, Illinois, attended
Swarthmore College, and earned masters degree at Harvard.
With his brother, Drew, and Robert S, Allen, he started the
"ashington Merry-Co-Romd" which is read everywhere.
LEON PEARSON won many honors for his skiLful re
porting, as he covered events ranging from elections in Europe
to disturbances in North Africa. Whatever he did was with
such skill and integrity that he won respect and acclaim from
readers everywhere. President Kennedy said:
g.. REMEMBER first meeting with Mr.. Pearson when
/ served as a reporter following World War II. | always had
the highest regard for his ability and integrity
THE WORLD will miss Leon Morris Pearson.

Of observation. More, he is a
dramatist with an extraordin-
airy sense of the comically alb
surd in human behavior.
With these assets. it was in
evitable that he should provide
Olney's season with a blazing
climax, one aspect of which
may we'll be controversy since
he dareS to be so unconven-
tional. There was no sign Of
this however, in the reaction Of
that high-hearted, rain-defying
first night audience which gave
THE Caretaker" a reception Of
exceptional warmth.
1t is a cast of a mere three
that James D. Warning has so
sympathetically directed in The
Caretaker" and few quartets on
any stage have been more visi-
bly, grateful to find a writer
who knows so well that actors
and a director will put the fin
lShing touches on his work.
50 SIS
THE Caretaker" is a play as
meaningful as it is plotless. 1t
is a work involved with situa-
ton and character, from which
the spectator may draw as
much or as little of laughter
and pathoS as he is capable. It
Is reminiscent of playwrights
from Chekhov to Saroyan, but
the one it leaves fixed in the
spectators memory is Pinter.
The ugly duckling charm Of
1.-The Caretaker" is established
before a word is spoken. This
is fixed by it's setting, an insane
shambles of a Slum bedroom,
destined quickly to be occupied
by three eccentrics. Two of
these are looneys Of incredible
virtuosity in the commonplace,
one the tenant of the room, the
other a verbose bum invited in
for a nights lodging.
The third is the younger
brother Of the first mentioned,
a leather-jacketed maSochist-
dreamer who is sheer Pinter in
vention.
What possible interest these
could have to theatergoers is
inconceivable until Pinter be-
gins to reveal it in some of the
most original unoriginal dia-
logue ever heard On any stage.
The great volume of this is
that assigned to the bum, the
intruder. He is a querrlous,
loud mouthed, unwaShed, dull
claimant to human dignity who,
in Tom Toner'S performance,
turns into an utterly fascina-
ting stage presence.
Chief victim of this witless
ruin, who has managed by his
wits to attain a crumpled old
age. is the older of the two
b. hers. This gentle bumbler
q the certified looney among
tl.G plays three characters. He
has done time officially in a
sanitarium, all the way up to
an electric shock treatment
that has left him hopelessly
vulnerable to the aggressions
of his visitor.
In the relationship between
them, he is as pathetic as the
guest in his house is comic. He
is the gentle man on whom his
moral interiors play, the set-up
whose single defense is that

The absorbing quality Of
1.-THE Caretaker" is that Pinter
can make the relations Of this
trio dramatically important. To
what end is all this repetitious,
irrelevant, often incoherent
talk going to lead? The literal
answer is nowhere, the memo
rably figurative one that 1t is
destined to reveal a great deal
that is dramatic about these
apparently inconSequential in
habitants of London's lower
depths.
For them, groteSques that
they are in at least two cases,
Pinter has compassion. They
are what life made them, alb
Surd, amusing, pitiable, and
magnificently actable.
So 4
The latter is particularly true
of two of the three characters,
the bum and the looney older
brother who invites him to
share his attic Shambles. The
former is Toner'S man, a
sniveler masking his hopeless
ness in aggresSiveness, a funny
wistful figure who manages to
be ingratiating and utterly Of
fensive at the same time.
Nevertheless, the supremely
fine segment of writing in 1.-THE
Caretaker," or in any other
recent play, is that Of the elder
ly looney played by Sidney
Walker. Olney has rarely seen
acting to equal Walkers recall
here of the long process of his
mental diStintegration, an
achievement in pathoS for
