First Step

The actual signing of a limited
nuclear test ban treaty in Moscow
Monday by representatives of the
United States, Great Britain and the
Soviet Union, is only a first, but vital
~ necessary step to be taken on
the long and difficult road to world
peace.
After ratification by the three
great powers, the treaty will go into
effect. 1t provides for a halt in nuclear
testing in space, air and the sea. 1t
does not stop underground testing.
Nor does it call for a reduction in the
stockpile of hydrogen bombs or nuclear
weapons on hand in both the u. S. and
Russia, enough incidentally, for either
of us to annihilate the world.
Provision is also made for the
three powers to abrogate the treaty
should either feel its interest threaten
ed.
Thus it seems obvious there are
two gains to be made from the treaty,
either of which is enough to warrant
its approval by the u. S. Senate.

Report From Dixie
UnpIedged Plan whitening" On Vine!

Reports coming out of the Florida
governors conference support recent
findings of an Associated Press report
err that the Unpledged Elector move
ment appears "to be whitening on the
political vine in Dixie"
Governors Barnett and Wallace
we're the only governors at the con-
ference supporting the unpledged
movement and it received scant atten-
tion from the other AZ governors pres
ent.
The Unpledged plan, as all of u
readers surely know by now, is IN at
tempt to block the reelection of Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy by Withholding
enough electoral votes to throw the
election of the President of the United
States into the Z. S. House of Repre-
sentatitves.
AP Political Reporter Jack Bell
found in a recent survey of eleven
Southern states that in only three,
Mississippi, Alabama and South Caro-
lima, does there appear to be any signi-
ficant possibility that the candidates
of the two major political parties may
be denied electoral votes. These three
states have a combined strength of
only 25 electoral votes.

COTTON SHOULD AVE.
he SAYS HOLToN

j. C. Holton, commission
er of Agriculture says: "The
exuberance that has come to
all of us along with ten cent
cotton is a great thing. Yet
it wiuld be folly to permit
premature satisfaction to re-
move the fruits of victory
SO nearly won. A month ago
when cotton was less than
six cents, we stated that ten
cent cotton would merely
provide the foundation for
the upward movement, upon
the basis Of which we could
begin to rebuild. Ten cent
cotton today is that and moth
ing more" Further, ten cent
cotton is entirely out of line
with prices of other major
commodities and beneath the
fair exchange valuation es-
tablished in the Agricultural
Adjustment Act.

If any candidate for president
failed to receive a majority (27O) OF
votes in the Electoral College then the
u. S. House of Representatives would
choose the president from among the
three top men receiving electoral votes.
Each state delegation in the, House
would cast one vote each.
President Kennedy with 3O3 cleo
toral votes would still have been elect
ed last time even if the three states
mentioned had combined to deny him
their votes.
These reports from Florida and
Reporter Bell should be of more than
casual interest in Mississippi at this
time since Lieutenant Governor Paul
Johnson is a leader in the Unpledged
movement, along with Governor Ross
Barnett. Another candidate, Charles
l.. Sullivan, has indicated he, too,
would go along with the unpledged un-
der certain conditions. At the same
time Mr.. Sullivan was honest enough
to add he could not see or promise"
success for the unpledged plan.
The topic will undoubtedly be ex-
plored at length in the days ahead.

the vast, unfenced plains of
the Afghan no-man's-land

turn with him.
Does he find her? He does.
Does he succeed in persuad-
ing her to returns? Well,
says Gilbert 0Highet in his
report on thesfnevef to Club
members, Caravans is a
fine story ending in that e.
ternal dream called Lost
Horizon"
Mr.. Kitchener spent about
three months in Afghanistan
in 1855, travelling to the re
motest parts of the country.
Caravans is based in part
on material he gathered dur
ing his stay there.
Born in New York City IN
1907, Mr.. Kitchener was
brought up in rural Bucks
County, Pennsylvania. After
graduation from Swarthmore
College, he spent a dozen
years or so as a teacher OF
English and of history. Later
he worked as a textbook edi-
tor for a New York publish
ing house.
His first book, "Tales of
the South Pacific, which be-
came the Pulitzer Prize novel
of 1913, grew out of his
Navy experiences in the Pa
cifie during World War II.
Such later books as "The
Bridges at Toko-ri,' "Sayon-
ara and "The Floating World
reflect his interest in Japan
csc art and culture.
Mr.. Kitchener is at present
in Israel, planning a book on
that country. ut will not be
a book about the winning of
Israeli independence" he ex-
plains, 'for others can do
that better than l. The fact
that I have lived SO long and
so amiably among the Mus
.lims who surround Israel
gives me a somewhat differ
ent point of view from that
of the usual hasty visitor. L
hope to find a theme of some
size that will permit me to
use what I already know

Caravans, James A. Mich
ener's first novel since "Ha-
waii', is the August Selec-
ton of the Book-of-the-
Month Club.
Mr.. Kitchener has long
been fascinated by the adj
ventures of Americans far
from home - in the Pacific,
in Korea, in Japan. Now he
tells a story of the search for
a footloose Bryn Mawr girl
who has disappeared in the
wilds of Afghanistan.
Her name is Ellen Jasper.
The State Department sends
a young attache. Mark Mil
Ter, in search of her. Mark
knows Afghanistan well and
calls it zone of the worlds
great c%auldrons." 1t is a for
bidding land, mountainous.
parched, bleak, torn by ferdS
and wars. Rarely visited hv
travellers even in the goth
century, it is separated from
the rest of the world by arid
stretches of the Middle East,
by the Soviet Union and by
the Indian subcontinent.
The people are Moslems,
but say they are of the tribe
of the Ben-i-Israel = des-
cendants, that is, of the He
bfewS who were carried by
Nebuchadnezzar. The Afghan.
way of life, as Mr.. Michener's
novel describes it, is not un-
like that of Old Testament
tribes. The adulterous AT
CHAN woman, for example, is
punished by being dragged
forth: tied to- a stake in a
public place, and stoned
screaming to death.
Ellen Jasper has come to
Afghanistan as the wife of a
handsome, cosmopolitan AT
CHAN engineer she met while
he was studying in the Unit
ed States. But the majority
of her husbands people, she
soon learns, are quite unlike
him. Many are nomads -.
simple herdsmen and wan
derers who follow their.
flocks over a 1000-mile-range
in search of pasture, and wa
tering places. These print
tive Afghans indeed RESENT
BILE the ancient tribesmen Of
Israel, who dwelt in skim

Ellen is a pretty girl whol

her family in Dorset, Penn-a
sylvania. It is not wholly
surprising that she will not

romance and freedom of no-l

off with a party of the rag

Limited Test Ban Treaty Signed

First, the halt of nuclear testing
will reduce the deadly fall-out which
now threatens the, existence of nan
kind. Continued testing indefinitely
into the future would eventually prove
to be mass suicide, achieving the same
effect as a nuclear war.
Secondly, the halt in unlimited
testing is certain to result in some
lessening of the strains and, tensions
of the Cold War under which WI have
lived so long. CAT the same time u
own government has made it clear
there will be no letting down of our
security guard or relaxing %vigilance.)
Only when the great powers are will
ing to show the world some halt or
slackening in the emphasis on weapons
of destruction, can we hope to point
the rest of the world to peace.
In the meantime American citi-
zens may rejoice that even this halt
ing step has been made in the direction
of peace = secure in the knowledge
we are keeping our powder dry.

Constitution PariY's Platform

Up until last week we had only
heard of the Constitution Party and
knew nothing of its platform or prin-
ciples. We did know that Mississippi's
Charlie Sullivan, g~ubernatorial hope
full, was the Constitution Party's can
didate for president in the last presi-
dental election.
The words constitutional Party"
of course, sounds good to anyone who
believes in constitutional government
and states rights, principles to which
most Mississippians adhere.
At least most Mississippians be-
lieve they adhere to those principles.
But after seeing the platform of
the Constitution Party printed last
week in a Delta newspaper, the Deer
Greek Pilot, we wonder just how many
Mississippians would support constitu-
tional government if it meant doing
away with the things that the Consti-
tuition Party is against as stated in it's
party platform. These include the fol-
lowing:
Farmers Home Administration
Federal Housing Administration
Government guaranteed loans to
veterans
Small Business Administration
Loans
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1963-08-08

Disaster Loans to Farmers
Production Credit Administration
Federal Land Bank
All REA-established electric power
associations
Federal subsidies to cities and
towns in such matters as laying sewers
Halliburton Hospitals
All farm price support
All government help i'll dragline
bitches, pasture establishment, lining
programs, cover crop programs, land
leveling, etc.
Government crop loans which
stabilize agricultural commodity prices
The Social Security law
Federal Forestry programs
How about it? Are we against the
programs mentioned above? How
many of them would we. eliminate in
government if we had the opportuni-
ty?
And what would be the effect on
Mississippi if we did?
1t seems to us that the only people
who could afford to be against all of
those measures would be Texas oil zil-
lionaires.
We further wonder how many of
them Charlie Sullivan himself sup
ports?
