The FOA commented: "The continued production and availability of needed materials, the security of our air and naval bases in Africa, and in the event of war, the maintenance of key lines of comunimcations depend on the existence of politically stable Afri can societies associated with the free world. |t "Stability in part depends on the extent to which the aspirations of the people of Africa are realized j and the extent to which they ac quire technical skills and knowledge essential to development.

Nov. 8 (Spec ial) — A 3f> year old Negro wom an was killed and two others in jured Saturday night in a head-on truck-auto collision three miles south of Centreville. The District Office of the High way Patrol at Brookhaven identi fied the dead woman as Nettie Wright of Centreville. Hospitalized at Centreville was George Montgomery with head and chest injuries and Joe Slack with a fractured left leg, cuts and bruises on the head. Both men are Negroes and reside in the Centre ville area. The District office reported the truck was in the middle of the Sound And Fury Again The frequent press releases and statements now emanating from Senator Joseph R. McCarthy’s of fice can be taken as a reminder that after Tuesday’s election the i senator from Wisconsin will be back in the limelight—-unfortun ately! It has been a nice rest—this pe riod in which Senator McCarthy and his sayings have been rele gated to the back pages when they got into print at all. It would be even nicer if it could be kept that way. The McCarthy sound and fury is something we couid do without. Evidently Senator McCarthy has been feeling the Senate’s pulse along with that of the public be 1 cause he is predicting that the Senate will vote to censure him and thereby place “an iron cur tain between the Government and , the American people.” The curtain idea seems a little far-fetched even for Senator Mc Carthy but it fits into his gran diose performance pattern and not many are apt to take him serious ly. It will take a great deal more than censure of his Senate conduct to separate the American people from their Government. Anticipating what the special censure committee will do, Sena tor McCarthy has apparently de cided to make a furious offensive serve as best defense. It is good strategy if you can get away with it but we doubt if Senator McCar thy is going to be successful. i Old Country Store Remember the old general mer chandise store that once was the hub of every small American com munity? The plows in the corner next to the high-buttoned shoes hanging by their strings. The big 1 cheeses and the cracker barrel alongside the oversized pickle jars. I Remember that delicious and dis | tinctly different odor of salt meat, shot polish, bananas and kerosene that was wafted in waves from the red-hot Franklin stove? It’s one of non-urban America’s fondest memories. But what housewife of today would go there to shop? One w'ould road when the collision occured. Charges against Montgomery, who : was driving the truck, are pend ; ing. The accident occured about 7:44 p.m. Saturday on state highway 33.
