FREEDOM

The nations shippers and the
public are being penalizeE
and overcharsed for trans
portation services because the
inherent advantages af the
railroads cannot be complete
ly reflected in the rates for
their services.
That's the contention of
Robert J. Tyler, general traf-
fic manager of the Tube
Turns division of Chemetron
Corp, a major maker of well
ding fittings and compon-
ents for pipelines and indus
trial piping. He also is execu-
tive committee chairman of
the National Small Ship
ments Traffic Conference.
Tyler recently urged pas
sage of bills intended to give
railroads freedom to set rates
in the same manner as water
and motor carriers handling
bulk commodities and ex-
empt agricultural commodi-
ties "The quality Of service
needed by the public can be
provided onlv if all forms of
transportation are given free
dom to compete fairly a
on equal terms" he told a
subcommittee of the Senate
Commerce Committee.
eff steps are not taken to
strengthen the entire national
Transportation system so that
the public will be provided
with the most expeditions
and economical service. not
only will our entire economy
suffer but we NAV also be
deprived of transportation
under private ownership
Tyler declared.

This Newspaper Projects Your Freedom

and yes, even lawyers, lose their free
dom through fear and intimidation, a
resulting loss of liberty is felt by every
ordinary citizen.
In Mississippi today who feels
free to speak out? Apply the test, dear
reader, to yourself and your family
and friends.
Who feels free to say anything
that is in opposition to the paid pro-
fessional leadership of the white Citi-
zens' Council that has taken over al
most completely as dictator of our
state? An organization that seeks to
smear and destroy every person who
openly opposes it - an organization
ambitious enough to try to control all
of the policies of the supposedly SOW
ereign state of Mississippi. ss9
The editor of this newspaper has
opposed the racist Citizens Council
from the very beginning not be-
cause we oppose racial integrity and
constitutional government they now
claim to foster, = but because in 1854
we recognized it as a serious threat to
the personal freedom, peace and secu-
ritv of every living Mississippian -
and its potential as a real Gestapo to
take over the state. 1t is the individual
freedom of our friends and readers we
have been and are fighting for.
Last fall the take-over was COM
plete.
We hate communism because it is
unGodly and takes away the freedom
of the individual, makes him subser-
Went to an all-powerful state. Why
then, should we support the Citizens
Council which just as surely takes a.
way our freedom and makes us slaves
to it? What is the difference?
Fortunately we can free ourselves
any time, cast off our chains, simply
by refusing to do its bidding.
Our personal opposition to the
Citizens Council (although we have a
large number of personal friends who
belong to IT'D has been indicated time
after time in the past nine years as
one after another good Mississippian
has been smeared, lied about and given
the &C treatment - many of them
now living in other communities. other
states.
That we have survived at all is a
miracle that we attribute only to God
= but if He is for us we know it makes
no difference who is against us.
God willing, we shall endure.

Behind the Scenes
In american
Business
By Reynolds Knight

NEW o (SpeciaD -
The more than so million
American males who shave
daily are the target of some
slashing competition among
razor blade makers, who are
moving to cash in on a new
type of blade that was first
developed by a British COM
pany.
About a year ago the Brit
ish concern began distibut-
ing a premium-price stain
less steel blade that gave
considerably more shaves
than standard carbon steel
blades. Even without adver-
Using support, the product
caught on, and major u. S.
firms quickly launched de-
velopment of similar blades.
Now the battle wakes hot.
One domestic maker has just
announced it will market its
competing product nationally
and two other firms are test
ing stainless blades and rea-
dying about marketing eff
forts. Millions of dollars of
advertising money will be
poured out to convince John
Public that the extra cost
of the new blades is more
than offset by the greater
number of shaves he'll get,
But the same Companies will
continue marketing standard
type blades, too.
A note of irony: the British
exporter who spanked the
whole thing says he still can
not supply the demand for
his product. and he doesn't
plan to spend "a red cent
for advertising.

"A OWNS TERRIER
THAT CATCHES

that he owns a fox terrier
named Red that catches ter

farm and if unable to kill
them alone, he banks like a
hound that s'trees' until Mr..
Evans answers his call and
makes the kill. He said the

and thirteen last year. Red
began trailing terrapins as a
small puppy and has proved
very valuable to the farm.
Mr.. Evans said that terrapins
are a nuisance on a farm,
eating small vegetation, es-
pecially tomatoes and canta-
loupes. They feed at night
and hide in the daytime,
which makes it hard to rid a
farm of the pests. The fox
terrier seems to have solveds
the problem on the Evans
farm.

Do Mississippians today, as Sir
Winston put it so beautifully, have
'the habit of liberty?"
There was a time, almost a decade
ago, when we Mississippians were free
. we did have the habit of liberty.
Newspaper editors were free to write
editorially about anything in the world,
giving our honest opinions, and there
was no fear of economic reprisals or
boycott.
Today a newspaper editor thinks
a long time before he writes anything
that can be construed as controversial.
And many stories go u%nreported
either through ignorance of not
knowing or caring enough to know
what's going on in the community and
state or because of vested interests
of one kind or another the editor feels
must be protected for his own well
fare financially, politically or socially.
eve don't need to tell our readers
the editorial page of this newspaper
has still the "habit of freedom" and

on factual information, although the
facts are sometimes difficult to OBJ
