Thus sanction against libel has been greatly reduced by the Supreme Cout both as they apply to private and public persons. A newspaper is no longer much restrained in what it can p rint as fa r as lia b ility or libel damages is concerned so long as it can claim a purpose be­ yond m alice. This relaxation as a prac­ tical m atter is highly question­ able. It removes restraints on newspaper irresponsibility which served a good purpose, feeding it to ju rie s to deter­ mine in specific cases if the newspaper had caused libel damage.

Many believe that the trip was undertaken with a view of insuring greater support for Mr. Nixon’s bid for a second term . In an informal speach to editors and publishers in Birmingham, the Presidsnt cited stat­ istics to show that the South had made more progress than the North in desegregation of public schools. ” I have nothing but utter contempt for the double, hypocritical standards of those Northerners who look at the South and say: Why don’t those Southerners do something about their race problem" , he said. These words have the rhetoric of a pulpit intercession. What effect this pleading will have cannot be measured with any degree of accuracy at this moment. One thing is c e r­ tain , Mr. Nixon’s bitter remonstration of the North will not enlarge his circle of friends from that section. r / I loyd Centm N u l lo Ih« I »quoi Sto» PERI S On« wtd Only Store Open 9 30 • m to 9 0 0 p m Daily Sunday» Noon to 4 0 0 p m Mississippi MB KEY SHOP totoed lx «'•tor 110 Aj Keys Fer A IILecki.... yes Indeed Ever*s running fo r the Miss­ issippi governorship is not the fir s t time a Black has sought his state's highest office.
