Integration Foe Next Governor Of Mississippi Jackson, Miss. -UPD- A tall courtly lawyer who has vowed to close the . public schools rather than see them integrat ed will be the next governor of Mississippi. Ross B a r n e 1 1, 60, who preached against "modera tion" on racial issues in his campaign and expressed ad miration for Arkansas Gov Orval Faubus, overwhelmed Lt. Gov. Carroll Gartin, 47 in the state's runoff primary for the Democratic guberna torial nomination Tuesday He was never headed from the time the first precinct report ed.

With only 28 of the state's 1,828 precincts still uncounted Barnett had piled up 223,081 votes to 190,621 for Gartin despite the fact that Gartin was the choice of out-going Gov. J. P. Coleman, former Gov. Hugh White and most of the state's daily newspapers. Barnett won despite severe physical injury and a scandal among his' campaign staff. While campaigning last spring he walked into a spinning air plane propellor at Coldwater, Miss., and was confined to a hospital for several weeks. He wore a sling on his arm throughout the campaign. Charged With Murder. Shortly before the runoff primary one of his campaign workers at Hattiesburg; Miss., was charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a high way patrolman. The campaign was a bitter one even though both Barnett and Gartin are members of the segregationist Citizens Council and both ' pledged a militant segregation policy if elected.

L Strand of Oregon State Col lege. Dr. Strand was replying to H. D. Rolph Sr., president of the Oregon State Farmers Union, who deplored the "de pressed condition of agricul ture in Oregon."

Racial Issue Due At Legion Conclave Minneapolis, Minn.-(UPD-One of the hottest racial issues in the 41-year history of the American Legion is slated to go before the organization's national convention today. The issue involves a clause in the constitution of the 40 and 8 society, the Legion's honor and fun-making body, restricting membership to white legionnaires. - California and Alaska have submitted resolutions propos ing that the "white only" clause be repealed. However, the internal or ganization committee rejected the proposal. Instead, it ac cepted a more moderate reso lution from Hawaii suggest ing that national officers of the Legion and the 40 and 8 meet in an attempt to iron out the racial, hassle. California and Alaska dele gates opposed the Hawaiian resolution. Japan imports from 100, 000 to 120,000 pounds of tal low from the U. S. each year, making the Japanese Amer ica's largest customer next to Italy. Captain Baker to Speak on Trip of Raft at Meeting t Capt. DeVere Baker, who with three companions and a small dog crossed the Pacific ocean on the raft Lehi IV, will speak Friday, Aug. 28, at 8 p.m. at the Medford High school auditorium. The talk is sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Captain Baker will explain the objectives and results of his voyage. Students of the Book of Mormon have long claimed that the Hawaiian Islands were populated by people from America, while many experts said the oceanography made it impossible to drift from America to the Hawaiian chain; the radioactive "carbon clock" shows the earliest evi dence of people on the Islands to date back only 1,000 years; and that the forefathers of the Hawaiian people came from the Gilbert Islands because they brought a near-Eastern culture with them.. Captain Baker believed so firmly in his theories that he sailed the Lehi IV to prove that it was possible to drift from America- to the Ha waiian Islands. Since that time excavations made in the Islands of the Pacific have un earthed artifacts which have been dated by the carbon clock back 2,000 years to the time of the boat-builder Ha goth, mentioned in the Book of Mormon. The raft is now preserved in a museum on the Island of Oahu. Captain Baker will speak and show films. The public is inyited to attend. Bodies Taken Off Mountain Franconia, N.
