people have stood the test very
well, The readjustments have
yielded remarkable results. The
condition of the national econ-
omy as a whole since 1960 has
improved from year to year.
The premier said that imperial-
ism ‘‘will not be able to check
the mounting struggle of the
people of the world of peace,

national liberation, democracy
and socialism.”
Both Chou En-lai and Chen

Yi emphasized the grow ing
might and unity of the socialist
camp as a decisive factor in the
struggle for peace. Chen Yi said
that ‘‘the socialist camp and the
peoples liberation movement are
propelling the advance of history
and changing the face of the
world. They constitute the deci-
sive factors in defending world

peace.”

Clubs, readers
engaged In
heated race

Press clubs and individual
readers are engaged in a
heated race to determine who
will carry off the Sub-Drive
awards which have been set
aside by the Press Committee.

Leading provincial club is
South Surrey, with 10 subs

Negro James Meredith charg-
ed last Tuesday that the troops
which have been keeping the
peace since he was admitted to
the University of Mississippi were
segregated by army orders.

In an interview, which he had
requested, Meredith stated flat-
ly that the army had _ inflicted
a dishonor and a disgrace on
Negro soldiers. by segregating
them after the rioting which
marked his entry into Ole Miss.

He reportedly stated that he
had complained to authorities
about the withdrawal of Negro
troop; from _ the
hotbed of strife and had been
assured that the situation would
be corrected. Following this as-
surance, Negro troops appeared
on a garbage detail truck; the
only armed soldiers continued to
be all white.

It was not reported whether
the idea of segregating the troops
was given by army brass or
President Kennedy, but one thing
appeared certain — it made a
mockery out of the much-bally-
hooed federal move of ‘‘support’
for Meredith and the cause of

ment by the military top brass.

nedy and

In his latest tirade, Goldwater
attacked the Kenne ly administra-
ticn, the st‘ > d-partment, Adlai

Stevenson, and ctaers. He blasted
former president Eisenhower for
the latter’s valedictory address
to the nation in which-he wafned
about the danger presented by the
growth of the military-industrial
complex.

Gcldwater did not deny the ex-
istence of the complex; he sought
to silence the critics by question-
ing their loyalty in true Mc-
Carthyite fashion.

At the same time as he was
hurling these charges, Gcldwater
defended former General Edwin
Walker, one of the instigators
of the rioting at Oxford. Walker
has since been committed for
psychiatric examination.

The entire role of the army dur-
ing the rioting is reportedly com-
ing in for a critical examination
by Washington. Some observers
pointed out that the first troops
to arfive in Oxfcrd, Miss. from
Memphis, Tennessee could have
walked in the amount of time it
took them to get there.

400 subs in on 1900!
DRIVE IS HALF OVER ...

We have one month left in our Fall Circulation Drive. In
that month we must raise 1500 subs. It seems like a staggering
load, but it can be done — provided every reader and supporter
puts his shoulder to the wheel.

We are a little ahead of cur drive tempo of last year, when
we ended the campaign with 1750 subs, so that this year's target
is fully realizable. The important thing is not to let any more time
slip by; every club should have an evaluation of where it stands
at this junction, and every reader should re-dedicate himself to
the task of winning new readers for our press.

A successful drive at this time will consolidate our position
and help to lay a firm foundation for future expansion.

Every moment from now 04 is important.
