Gubernatorial Candidate
Charles S. Sullivan has said
one of the most significant
issues of the forthcoming
campaign will be "the ques-
ton of Mississippi's relation
snip to the Federal govern
ment.'
Let us hope this issue will
be fully discussed so that
all of us will know the part
the u. S. government plays
in underwriting the economy
and progress of our state.
(In a recent editorial we
pointed out where certain
individuals and groups in
this state receive $700-$750
million every year in federal
funds.)
This is a point convenient
ly overlooked in the current
controversy over handling OF
racial matters.
Along this line we were
interested to see this week a
statement from the State Tax
Commission sh owl the
total overall expenditures OF
our state government for the
past two years as being
$719,359,379.18
How much of this money
in Mississippi's state budget
came from the Federal gov
eminent?
The answer is $186, 629. 086.-
90, Or nearly 26 per cent.
Now we are not advocating
bigger and more expensive
state or Federal government
= but in the raging battle
now being fought against the
Federal governments Gin
reference in MissiSsippIs
AFFAIRS" we do say there
are two sides.
Before we start believing
the Federal government is
our "avowed enemy" a
some aspiring state politi-
clans would have us do, let
us take a long look at both
sides, and then make up our
minds as to what Is best for
Mississippi.

The experience of Agricul-
tJre Department indicates that
the talents and experience of a
considerable number of Federal
employees are not being utilized
by their agencies.
AS part Of its manpower util-
ization program, Agriculture is
investigating under utiliza-
ton" Of employeS-cases where
employees are slotted in jobs be-
low their abilities. The Defense
Department Is now engaged in
a similar study and other Fed
eral agencies are expected to
follow.
That's why the findings of
Agriculture, which started the
study ahead Of the other agen-
cies, holds great interest for
the entire Federal service.
Agriculture asked its en-
ployes whether they felt their
skills, abilities, experience and
educational backgrounds were
being properly utilized in their
present jobs.
In cases where employees re-
Piled in the negative, their en-

better jobs that are more suited
to their intelligence and skills.

The mass unrest in the

acute case Of filters N the cap

nessmen are obviously scared

land question is settled, they
see little hope for expanded

gress over land reform. Com
mittees are now studying three
competing proposals-one sent
by President Belaunde two
weeks after his Inauguration

followers Of defeated candidate
Gen. Manuel Odria, and one
introduced this month by the

Although the Belaunde re-

haciendas. The land would be
taken on a progressive scale,
depending on its cultivation
and whether 1t is pasture or ir-
