In fields where your cotton
is still green, putting on new
squares, blooms and small
bolls it is advisable to con-
tinue your insect control pro-
gram both for boil weevils
and bollwormS.
Where possible use a long
lasting insecNcide on 5 to
I6 day intervals. If using me-
thyl parathion for boil weevil
control then you should short
en- your intervals to 3 to 4 days
in order TO keep the boil Wee
wills in check.
Insecticides for worms
should be a heavy application
Iof whatever inSecticide you
are using for worms. For in
lstance if you are using endrin,
the dosage should be at least
g pound Of endrin per acre
and a pound per acre will be
better. That is use l gallon of
endrin for each 4 to 5 acres
Iof cotton. 1t will be well to
Include methyl parathion in
with endrin as a combination
lof insecticides seem to do a
better job than where using
Insecticides alone.
If using toxaphene and DOT
increase dosage for worms
about 1/3 over what we have
normally been using. If using
sewn wettable powder as a
spray use at least 2 pounds
of the wettable powder per
acre. If busting with 7t% Sc
vim dust use at least 20 pounds
of material per acre. If you
are using a 1919 dust apply
at least Is pounds per acre.
Information from State
Plant Board seems to indicate
that we will continue to have
worms in our younger, green
er cotton the rest of the sea-
son. With the migration of
boil weevils occurring at this
time we will have to continue
poisoning our fields until our
|cotton crop is matured.

The House Of Representatives
never was REGARDED as the toughest
arena for passing a civil rights
bin; that dubious distinction be-
longs to the Senate.
Now, however, the House is
engaged in an extraordinary and
perhaps futile struggle to circum-
vent the delaying tactics Of one Of
Its members. He is Rep. Howard
w. Smith (D-Va), chairman Of
the chambers Rules COMMITTEES,
through which all bills must fun
mel.
His history Of obstruction on
dvil rights is long and consistent.
One can safely assume that he
would oppose legislation on 1t at
any time and under virtually all
circumstances.
Rep. Richard BoIing's move to
reroute the bin around the Virgin
ian via a discharge resolution may
fail. But he and many Of his col
leagues feel that the legislative
and national equities of the sttua-
ton call for such an unusual step.

The Meaning Of
Free Inquiry

The arguments over academic freedom at the
University of Minnesota have polarzed-so far as
the enemies Of freedom are concerned-around
letter which Professor Mulford Q. Sibley published
afew weeks ago in the Minnesota Daily.
In this letter Professor Sibley said that he per-
sOnal1y would like to at the University "one or
two Communist professors" and number of far-out
Student organizations devoted TO such things as
atheism, free love. nudism, anti-automatdon, and
similar concepts.
Ironically, the enemies of academic freedom
have welcomed Professor Sibleys statement enthus-
iasdoally, while some friends Of freedom are en-
barTassed by It.
The statement is bo be sure, strong meat The
Professor Is not likely TO the frnon Of his ideal
here or at any other University for a number of
reasons of which are he Is aware. Among
chem the mlikerhood of finding student support
(ope1y. at any rate) for the causes listed and the
hnpossfbdnty Of finding teachers who have accepted
the Communist intellectual discipline who can also
meet the academic standards Of the University
particularly the principle of free inquiry
The statement should not, however be passed
over lightly nor swept under the academic rug Pro-
bsor Sibley Is In fact putting the issue Of free
qry into the s1arpest focus possible. He Is saying
that we ought to face difficult and fearsome ques-
tons freely and fearles5ly He Is saying this in the
framework and tradition of Jeffersonian freedom in
the faith that when discussion and inquiry are free
truth will como out on top.
Surely we have had ample experience in recent
years to support this faith. Communism and free
love offer examples. Because have relatively free
inquiry into the ideas Of Karl Marx and the work.
irgs Of his doctrines (often in the face of violent
objections by the super -patrots) the Communist
Doctrines are almost completely rejected In this
country. There s. moreover resulting understand
ing Of our plura1stlc, pragmahc economy that Is
much stronger than 1t might be If the free inquiry
into Communism had been frustrated by the super
patriots.
On the other hand, consideration of the ad-
Vntages and disadvantages Of free love" has been
:smeh0w frustrated, Moralstic influences in our
Hptaety have prevented full and free discussion OF
t6la question with the result that while growing
proportion OF population Is moved by the at
fractions Of free love-" there Is totally inadequate
understanding Of IT'S disadvantages and destructive
ness to persons involved.
We suspect that the Nrsey report would have
told somewhat different story there had been In
America a more free and open inquiry into the prob
lem. We suspect that the morahsts who prevented
sIch free inquiry must take some Of the respon-

Washington POST.
The Johnson administration has
been eager to get the civil rights
bill passed this year, and will start
a fight Monday to get 1t passed,
but the rules Of the House itself
will frustrate the effort. The civil
rights bill, approved by the House
judiciary committee, has come to
rest in the rules committee, which
controls the order in which bills
may or may not go to the House
for vote.
The rules committee is headed
by Rep. Howard w. Smith d.,
Va.,) who regards the civil rights
measure as the devils own work
and who has announced that he
will hold no public hearings on 1t
this year. The House leadership
headed by Speaker John w. Nc
Cormack ID, Mass.), has decided,
therefore, to start an effort Mon
day to get the bill out Of the rules
committee so the House can vote
on 1t. This can be accomplished by
having a petition signed by 21s
members Of the House, majority
but that can no longer be OBJ
tained since House Republicans de-
cdded in caucus Wednesday not to
join the discharge move. Even II
the Republicans had gone along
tho, House rules would have in
terfered. - Chicago AMERICAN.
St. Paul recorder., 1963-12-26

The announcement by Chairman
Smith Of the House Rules Com
mfttee that he win hold hearings
on the stalled civil rights bill "rea-
sonably soon in January" indicates
that the Virginia Democrat Is not
totally impervious to White House
and popular demands for quick
action on this vital measure. But
1t Is far fro man assurance that
Mr.. Smith has finally decided to
give the House a chance 10 vote on
It.
His assertion that the bill re-
qudres sober reflection and care
ful consideration in a calmer at
mosphere than exists at present"
could be advance notice that he in
tends to conduct a long fflibuster
under the guise Of Rules Commit
tee hearings. Such a mockery Of
the deliberative process would be
an inexcusable abuse Of the COM
mittee's proper function.
II Chairman Smith can bottle
the legislation up indefinitely In
his committee, 1t will move to the
Senate 50 late in next years pre-
election session that the Southern

The work that the Congress
came here to DO Is unfinished. The
people have a right to ask Con-
gressmen to finish 1t. An admin
istration does not have the right
to insist that Congress approve
everything for which 1t asks. It
does have a right to ask that Con-
gress dispose Of the program one
way or another. The public too
has a right to expect that Congress

Editor: In the death Of the late
President Kennedy, we have been
forced by cruel circumstances to
drink to the dregs, from the bitter
cup Of sorrow that was shared
around the world.
Negroes especially should awake
to the grim realization that the
best friend they have ever had in
the White House, Is dead and his
death Is going to make a differ
ence in their immediate and distant
future.
It has taken our nation three
hundred years to produce a John
Fitzgerald Kennedy and get him
into the White House. Kennedy is
the first President to throw the
weight Of the government behind
the holy effort to raise the Negro
to the level Of a full-fledged citi-
zen.

Norman Sherman Writes
Of Humphrey EUIosy
And Other Thinus

Editor: A week ago the wife Of
Senator Humphreys chauffeur died
and Tom Graham asked the Sen
ator to deliver a eulogy at his
wife's funeral. The Senator did
this, and I thought his eulogy was
such a moving one that I am talk
ing the liberty of sending it to you.
The eight Graham kids who are
still at home range in age from
about 5 to II, and all of us on
the staff are chipping in to make
sure that they each receive some
gifts on Christmas.
I think the Senator's willingness
to break into his hectic and busy
week to help comfort the Graham
family Is just one more indication
of the tremendous human warmth
the man has.
I'm taking it upon myself to
send you the eulogy simply be-
cause, as I work for the Senator,
I find reaffirmed that Hubert
Humphrey is not only a great Sen
ator, but very much a special and
compassionate man.
I read, by the way, with great
interest your comments in the
Minneapolis Star about church and
race relations made at the retreat
I hope the meeting was successful
in moving a few more churchmen
TO the battle front on civil rights
I frankly was quite surprised at
the number of clergymen who
joined the Minnesota March TO
Washington in August. I thought
It was a hopeful sign.
With my best wishes Sincerely,
Norman Sherman, Washington,
DC.
St. Paul recorder., 1963-12-26

the civil rights bill does not have
the ghost Of a show. With the
Southern stalwarts standing in a
solid phalanx in its path, and with
the filibuster as a trump card, it is
difficult to see any effective civil
rights bill If indeed any bill at all.
II Kennedy's martyrdom cannot
soften up the toughs of the Old
South, nothing win.
Kennedy's untimely baldng off
raises anew the late Walter Whites
question How Far The Promised
Land?" I have no doubts about
the sincerely and integrity Of
President Lyndon johnson. He
knows his way about the world and
Washington, but he like Kennedy,
St. Paul recorder., 1963-12-26

Is ham-str1ng by the Old South.
Truman was a southerner but he
was worthy to follow the great
Roosevelt.
It Is even so with johnson. He
win prove himself quite worthy
and able to follow a Kennedy; and
what Is more, when you run across
a Southerner with courage, on the
right side, he Is tough. So johnson
will be tough but he will be no
match for those "boughies" Of the
Old South in Congress.
Kennedy who was trying to do
something about 1t Is dead! John

thing about It! But how can he?-

MilliOnaires Who Pay
No Income Tax

We are interested to find rather distinguished
support for the theme of an editorial we published
a:few weeks ago We pointed out that during years
Of erosion since the progressive income tax first
established early in this century, the progressive
feature OF the tax has all but disappeared.
The original idea that those who most
favored by the operation of our economic system
should bear relatively heavier responsibilities for
keeping it going. We pointed out that various gim-
mfcl1s introduced into the tax laws from time to
time had largely subverted this idea, and that
without the flagrany regressive sales tax taxes
falling more and more lightly those best able
bo pay them
Now comes Stewart Alsop with two articles in
the, SATURDAY EVENING POST, suggesting that
the situation is even worse than we had supposed
h to be-
Barry Goldwater'' says Alsop, has said that
the progressive income tax ought to be abolished.
like most Of the rest Of us, he doubtlessly
that above certain level 1t has already been
abolished"
Alsop reports Treasury Department study
showing that five Americans with incomes Of more
than IS 900 900 year paid no income tax at all, and
nearly all the rest paid at a rate much lower than
that in the progressive" scale Of the law Altogeth
en-: 20 people in the very RICH categores, get by
without paying cent of income tax.
Alsop also points out that the tax cut bill" in
its current form has dropped the reform proposals
aimed at restoring the progressive character Of the
income tax.
One of the things about the very rich Is that
they very alert very persistent, very aggressive
and very much devoted to their own welfare. For
this we cannot blame them Now, If everybody whose
income is in the normal brackets land whose tax has
to be higher because that the very rich is ower)

DRY POINTS
BY FRED GRAM

Mans essential conservatism Is
reflected In the fact that although
vttuperation long ago ecHpsed the
sword as a weapon of personal
combat, we still always put but
tons on our sleeves and hardly ever
on our lips.
The argument over freedom Of
opinion at the University Of Min

Letters To The Editor

the Negroes in their aspiration for
full citizenship, and many gen
uine gesture has been made, but
Kennedy's was the first honest-to-
goodness effort to do something
about the Negroes sub-citizenship,
with the full power of the govern
ment behind him. But the laudable
attempt cost him his life.
Kennedy died because he dared.
to do something about the Negroes
sub-citizenship; he dared to face
the wrath of the Old South with
its old pharaohs, who have re-
solved unto death never 10 let the
Negro go. Whereas the Negro Is
crying NOW" the Old South is
crying NEVER.
Kennedy's advocacy Of civil
rights for Negroes and the conse-
quences Of this advocacy, make 1t
doubly regrettable that he died
with the murmurings of far too
many Negroes in his ears and in
his heart, because he was not able
to do the impossible. There was an
mdertow of ingratttude in the
hearts of far too many Negroes.
Kennedy put his neck out for Ne
groes; and the Old South lost no
time in "whacldng" and this made
it all the more deplorable to see
Negroes take part in the ''whack-
ing.
Neither ingratitude, nor what
looks like it, Is going to get Ne
grOes to their desired goal. It Is
going to be a long time before
he comes along, who can do all
we want done and do it now.
What Of Kennedy's program for
civil rights? Had Kennedy lived
only a "watered down" bill Of civil
rights was possible and Negroes
had begun to curse him for ac-
cepting such a watered down bill;
and 1t is even doubtful II even a
'+watered down" bill could have
passed a South-ru1ed Congress.
Now that Kennedy Is dead, the
chances Of any civil rights bill at
all are slim indeed. The high and
noble stand that President john
son made on civil rights In his
maiden speech was one Of the fin
est and fortnight appeals ever
made to a Congress Of these United
States.
Even before the echoes Of that
resounding masterpiece had faded,
the leaders Of the Old South had
served notice on Johnson and the
nation that they were unmoved In
their attitudes on civil rights.
These Old South leaders dismissed
without any hesitation the senti-
ment expressed 50 nobly by Presi-
dent johnson that as a memorial
to Kennedy for whom the whole
world was mourning the civil
rights bill should be passed. This
was enough to appeal to hearts Of
stone, but the spokesman Of the
Old South an but ignored it.
From this writer's point Of view
St. Paul recorder., 1963-12-26

Americans should never be afraid of pursuing
the TRUTH and they should be afraid of
lining unpopular ideas. If the ideas are wrong their
fallacy will not survive free examination; if right
should know about them. That's what academic
freedom, free inquiry and freedom of discussion
