ORR sk Sieh = FANGLESS LION WITH HIS PALS Pharoah, the fangless and clawless lion, poses with his pals -- Lester, the Great Dane, and 2-year-old Shaun Fenn -- at the Fenn home in Tustin, Calif. Phar- oah had a happy home at the Fenn residence until he jumped the fence recently and disappeared. That's when Kenneth Williams, Orange County district at- torney, was notified and join- ed the lion hunt. When Pharoah was returned to owner Mrs. Karen Fenn, she was told she had to get rid of him -- because he's now considered a_ public nui- sance. (AP Wirephoto) 'Never' Becomes 'Slowly' On Mississippi Rights Issue By JULES LOH JACKSON, Miss. (AP)--A soft breath of change is moving across Mississippi: Voices which once cried "never"? to the Negro's demand for equal rights now are saying "slowly." Voices which once whispered "slowly" now are daring to say it aloud. Voices once too cowed to speak at all now are being heard. Economics, the chief force be- hind the Negro's historic place oi servitude in deep Dixie, pr- haps is the main reason behind the current trend toward moder- ation. No doubt, too, the econoniic force of federal funds is respon- sible for a change in the tra- ditional stance. Roughly one- third of the operating budget of Mississippi comes from federal sources. This year, $150,000,000 in fed- eral aid will flow into the state treasury and be spent for state purposes. Should t for lack of compliance with the Civil Rights Act, it could cripple} the state. TIRED OF TROUBLE Another reason for the chang- ing attitudes is that much of the popilation is fed up with the tactic of resistance. Martin Luther King not long ago called Mississippi the tough- est area of resistance to the U.S, civil rights movement. He could point, for example, to the ashes of: 38 Negro churches, or to the fresh earth of three shallow graves, noi to mention the public 'statements of state officials who vowed they would be proud and honorad to man the last ramparts of segre-| gation. But today there is equally u-| mistakable evidence of adjust-| ment. | Some manifestations of the change are obvious. A year ago a veteran of 12 years in the state legislature was defeated primarily because he advocated keeping open the public schools though integration might come. Last month the Parent-Teach- ers Association in his district, along with others throughout the state, voted to direct its school board to integrate rather than suffer the loss of federal funds. Even without such economic pressure, Millsaps College, a private institution in Jackson, open its classrooms to both) |races. | |FORCES EVIDENT | Though the new attitude hasn't yet filtered far into the backwoods, many believe the masses cannot escape its even- tual influence. In the matter of Negro voting rights, for example, Governor Paul Johnson recently said in plain terms to the people who elected him: | "It doesn't make sense to turn| down a person with an M.A. de-| gree when he attempts to regis-| ter to vote and then register one} who has not been to school." | In equally blunt terms, the Mississippi Economic Council (the state Chamber of Com- to obey the law "regardless of personal feelings," and the Mis- sissippi Manufacturers Associa- tion' is preparing workers for enforcement of the equal-em- ployment provisions of the Civi is De cut on Rights Act soon to take effect. |} "Rither we're going to be| dragged kicking and screaming into the second half of this dec- ade or we're going to wake up one morning and find ourselves there," said a Jacksonian with a direct stake in Mississippi's economic development. | Most who feel similarly are| reluctant to be identified. The majority of Mississip- pians still consider such views has come to be despised. " reason is,' explained a univer-} sity professor, '"'that 'conserva- tive' has come to mean 'segre- gationist'." NEED SPOKESMEN The state's most pressing problem, says Dr. A. B. Britton) Jr., a Jackson Negro and chair- man of the state's Civil Rights| Advisory Committee, "continues to be that of persuading white Mississippians of goodwill to speak out publicly." One of the plainest examples of change is the dwindling in-) fluence and prestige of the White Citizens Council. At one) time it received $5,000 a month} in state funds to finance its activities. The payments were) stopped in February. | Interviews throughout the} state indicate that the desire to) change has been _ smoulder-| announced it would voluntarily ing among Mississippians for! months, Many factors are in- volved in its recent emergence into the open. The most impor- tant was passage of the Civil Rights Act. "That act of Congress eman- cipated the white man more than the Negro," said one Jack- sonian.

RYAN Associated Press Staff Writer Moscow appears to be under- taking a revolutionary crash program to attack its food shortage problems. This throws a spotlight on a Soviet economic situation so troublesome that it may have seriously hampered the Kremlin's conduct of for- eign policy. The Communist party central committee spent the better part of five days drawing up a new blueprint which, from what has 'Crash Program' In Russia To Attack Food Shortages been made known, seems an ad- mission of official desperation to shore up a potentially brittle internal economy. Agriculture always has been the soft spot in Soviet and other Communist economies. [n the case of the Soviet Union, there seems to be no public hunger or any degree of panic, but rather growing concern with shortages and the agricultural lag which retards development of other sectors. This, in turn, could tend to By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP)--The federal government is facing a tough de- cision in the next month or two over sales of uranium. Informants say negotiations are nearing a conclusion after many months on a bid by France to buy a huge quantity of uranium on a long-term con- tract. The problem involves the gov- ernment's policy of refusing to sell uranium, the raw materia of nuclear weapons as well as the essential ingredient of nu- clear power plants, without a guarantee that the purchaser will use it solely for peacefu purposes. ; With Canadian uranium pro- try's biggest uranium customers in the past, that the uranium sold them. is not going into nu- clear weapons programs. But purchases by Britain and the U.S. have been steadily sagging. At present, Canada sells. none to the U.S. and the contract to sell to Britain, al- ready stretched out beyond its original termination date, ends next year. The French offer is said. to involve buying 25 per cent of this country's present known uranium reserves over a 25-year period. SEEK GUARANTEE? been licked.

French bid is particularly attractive. And one of the talking points in the negotiations appears to be the fact that Canada has never asked assurances from Britain or the United States, this coun- port even for peaceful purposes, what controls can there be to ensure that Canadian uranium doesn't join uranium from other suppliers in the French atomic program? And an associated question. Would purchases by France ui- der guarantee they are fcr peaceful purposes free other uranium purchased elsewhere by France for the French nu- clear weapons program?

This could account for skittish- ness in the Kremlin over the possibility of involvement in dangerous conflict with the Wesi. An example could be the caution Russia has displayed in dealing with the Viet Nam crisis.

And still have trouble telling which model year you're looking at. When we improve the Volkswagen, we don't fool about with the style. We work on the works. For good reason. For instance, in 1952, we put vents on the front side windows. And in 1956, we redesigned the gas tank so you'd have more luggage space up front. We made first gear synchromesh in 1961. To let you shift down from second to first without stopping. (We made a lot of lady drivers happy with What about this year? Well, there are 17 improvements for 1965 alone. that one.) Every single window on the '65 VW is just a little bit bigger. The back seat folds down so you can use the entire rear of the car for suitcases and such. The steering assembly is completely maintenance free. We made our windshield wipers to do a better job. So although the Volkswagen may look the same fo you every year, it does change. A fender from that '65 VW will bolt easily onto that 1938 model. That way, if you drive an old VW and something wears out, you don't have to worry about getting parts. about the shape you're in. ; SSABYAN MOTOR SALES LTD., 334 Ritson Road South And if nothing wears out, you don't have to wore Tel: 723-3461
