Many Moderutes' Found
In Mississippi By Editor

JACKSON (UPD-An Oregon
newspaper publisher and editor
took a firSt-hand look at MissiS-
sippi'S racial situation recently
and reported he found many
white moderateS.
Robert w. Chandler of the
Bend, Ore, Bulletin wrote a
series of articles about MiSSiS-
Sippi after a Today tour of the
state.
Chandler said many MiSSis-
siupi whites would not object
to the beginnings of school inte-
grafton. But the states politi-
cal leadership, and the base of
its support, will not have it."
THE number of Mississippi
residents who think the time is
paSt-due for an Improvement of
the status of the Negro in their
state is large" Chandler said.
"These people don't stand on
street corners and make speech
eS. They are quiet at meetings
of luncheon clubs. They are
careful what they say, and
where they say it
But they exist, and exist in
numbers which might be sur
priSing to the leadership of ra-
ciSt organizations such as the
Citizens Councils, or to many
Mississippi politicians"
The Mississippi moderate, he
said, is generally a young, we'll
educated person with an above
average income.
He said many moderateS are
critical of the states leadership
and believe Mississippi made
considerable progress in racial
matters until Ross Barnett be-
came governor.
AT the same time, Chandler
said, Mississippi moderates OPP
pose the federal push for civil
rights but admit that unless
unceasing pressure is kept on
the state by the national gov
ernment, civil rights progress
will stop in Mississippi"
Despite the large number of
moderateS, the newspaperman
said, they are still in the minor
ity in Mississippi.
He said the white Supremist
blameS racial troubles on out
side ~agitatorS and meddlers'
such as 1.-The US. Supreme
Court, the President of the Unit
ed States, Northern newspapers,
and members of various groups
dedicated to the advancement of
the Negroes situation in life"

WHY CHINESE STOPPED
WHEN THEY DID

Why did the Chinese stop wher
they did? and unilaterally put into
effect a cease-fire? There were sew.
eral reasons for this.
One was that the Chinese had
moved up to the front lines in the
rugged Himalaya mountains only
sufficient oil from their limited re-
serves to take them to the south
slopes of those mountains.
Another reason was that the Chi
nese sought psychological victory :.
that they could prove to all southern
Asian people their ability to march

in impressing the several nations
which are essentially neutral, that
China is the major power in Asia.
Conquest of India would have
served no purpose psychologically.
Not only would it have turned the
other Asian nations away from their
neutral position and into the western
camp, it held the very real possibility
that the western powers would have
come to India's defense with nuclear
weapons something the Chinese
are not yet prepared to cope with
via retaliatory power.
Further, the Chinese have no
particular desire to impose a Com
munist state on India That,

CONCERN OVER FORMOSA

Red China's concern over Formosa.

is of similar nature to our indigna-

While the United States has held
Chang kai-Shek in check on his Oft
repeated determination to invade the
mainland, Formosa still constitutes
a United States base of similar dis
lance from the Chinese mainland
to Cuba's location in relation to our
boundaries.

CANNOT RECONCILE WAR
WITH CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE

The Presbyterian minister, who
has been a practicing and crusadine
pacifist for almost fifty of his 83
years, said his ''pacifism is based
essentially ON Christian grounds"
He aid he cannot reconcile war with
Christian doctrine, even though he
feels no superiority over people of
another philosophical Interpretation
of the tenets of Christianity.
In another preliminary comment
before discussing Recent Develop
ments in the Communist World,
Music made reference to an excel
lent editorial by Editor Robert Mil
Ter in Fridays INDEPENDENT
RECORD.
He expressed his appreciation
for Miller's unfolding of the "free-
dom of utterance" which, said
Music, sis one of our greatest in
heritances". There are risks to
a society which permits dissent,
he stated, "but the risks are not
as great as in a society where a
dictator" holds the power to ex-
press or suppress.
The speaker then, in a couple of
sentences which might we'll have
been pointed right at two in his
audience: John Birch Society Co.
ordinator Vic Overcast and right
winger Gordon Doering, recalled that
during World War ii it "was almost
reasonable" to criticize our allies,
the Communists. But, said he, ne
had ''the same opinion of Commu-
nism and particularly Stalinism then,
as he has now," and he, unlike most
people, DID speak out against the
authoritarian methods the Stalin- |
lists employed, at that time, just as
he did before World War IL, and has
since.
(To dispose of the Overcash-Doer-
ing cabal: There was a dozen or so
of them present. They came to the
meeting with preconceived and what
monolithic ideas. They at

ated vicious loaded barbs into their
questions; quoted from what they
purported to be 'facts", and Over

people,. Finally during the question

MOST IMPORTANT, MUST
HAVE MORE TRUST

Also. he said, we must "have more
basic trust" in the world. Referring
to inspection, he said it in itself is
not enough that ways and means
can always be found to get around
it, until such time as both sides de-
velop greater trust in the motives
of each other. Regarding the recent
disarmament talks, Music contended
that eff the Soviets are sincere in
their desires for disarmament, they
ought to throw the whole thing OPEN
in spite of their fears that inspection
teams would be used for espionage,
just as we have such fears. 1t thus
boils down that both the United
States and the Soviet Union must
abandon placing their reliance ION
nuclear weapons as their ultimate
Defense.
That course, he contended, is
''bad policy is a dangerous
policy, at time when both sides
are making some attempts to keep
the situation from getting out of
hand. This policy invariably ends
up in a deadlock in accomplishing
anything constructive toward
peace.

the experience gained over many
years of mountain warfare, had an
