Mskiean Farm-Ubor Pro grai E xtension Med hj $mm Meredith Waiting Graduation 'Milestone' in Lifelona Task Jackion, Miss (Ufl To James H. Meredith, a 30-year-old Negro, graduation Sunday from the University of Mis sissippi is "but a single mile stone" in a life-long task of advancing the status of his people in America. Meredith collected his cap and gown this week even be fore the state college board cleared the way for his par ticipation in commencement exercises at Ole Miss. He took his final exams Wednesday and then returned to his home in Jackson to await the ceremonies. Miss Pharris Program Entertaining Although the audiences which gathered in the Peter Britt Gardens Wednesday and Thursday afternoons did not hear the programs which had been announced for Elizabeth Pharris, they did hear delight ful and entertaining groups of songs well presented by this contralto. Through some error or lack in communications, the num bers which Miss Pharris plan ned to sing for her two ap pearances this week for the Britt Gardens Music fes tival were not announced or published; instead the pro gram which she planned for Wednesday, Aug. 21, was giv en out instead. Since the musicians sched uled to assist Miss Pharris next week were not available this week, she was forced to sing the numbers originally planned, and announce them from the stage. Although Miss Pharris, by her own admis sion, dislikes to do this, she managed the chore with charm. No Usa Pratandlng There is no use in pretend ing that this was completely satisfactory. Many of the selec tions were in a foreign lan guage and this, coupled with the fact that the concert was given outdoors, without am plification equipment, made it impossible for many in the audience to know what was being sung. Other than this it was a good concert, and it was ap preciated by the audience or less than 100 persons. Miss Tl ; 1 Ml ...! U I '. "V", a velvet much, especially in the lower registers, and she knows how to aing. Her dic tion and projection are ex cellent, and for some com positions, notably the Brahms, she sings with a brooding quality that we found espe cially pleasing. The contralto opened her program with old songs of Irish and Scotch origin, ac companying herself on beau tiful Irish harp. Some were sung in the original Gaelic, and one, "Keening," is with out words. For English songs, which she explained were not compatible with the Irish harp, she used a small Ameri can carriage harp. This group also contained two American folk aongs, an amusing compo sition called "Old Maid's Song" and said to be of Ken tucky background, and the MERCURY wmet station wagons fun at its fetching best J2578 Mere Trade-in Allowance For Your Car NOW!

Riverside Upstairs In his apartment in a red brick building sur rounded by old wooden Negro homes, Meredith's Wife, Mary Jane, was in bed recovering from an operation. On the week end of his graduation, Meredith was having to pinch hit as a baby sitter for their 3-year-old son, John Howard, and pick up the groceries. The Negro whose entry into Ole Miss was accompanied by the use of hundreds of federal marshals and up to 30,000 Army troops told a reporter he hopes to go "three or four years more" to college but he familiar "Scarlet Ribbons TheBe were sung with great feeling and tenderness. Accompanied By Pianist For her last two groups, Miss Pharris was accompa nied by Margaret Moore, pi anist from Beaverton, Ore. Al though the two women had not performed together before Wednesday afternoon, they did so admirably. After the Thursday concert, Miss Phar ris expressed the warmest praise for the pianist and said "she is one of the best I have ever had." First of the after-intermission groups was by Handel, the last by Brahms, Peter Cor nelius and Lizst. The Lizst numbers were "In Liebsluat" and "Es muss eln Wunder bares sein". The Cornelius number was "Eln Ton." The four Brahms selections were "Von Waldbekrantzer Hohe," "Es traumte mlr," "Unbc wegte Laue Luft",and "Ach wende diesen Bllck." Brahms is a favorite of Miss Pharris, and she sings these works es pecially well. Added to her considerable talent, Miss Pharris has a gracious stage personality.

S. farm work ers doing similar work must be given the same benefits ac corded the Mexican workers. Under the amendment, U. S. domestic workers must be offered workmen's compensa tion, housing, and transpor tation that is comparable to that given to Mexican farm ers. Now Goes to House The Senate vote Thursday was 63-24. The bill now goes to the House, which voted down a two - year extension of the farm labor program. Opponents of the measure contended that it aggravated the unemployment situation in this country. Mexican farm workers are used across the United States, but they are concentrated on large farms in California, Arizona and Texas. The equal benefits amend ment drew sharp criticism from Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D Ark.). He termed it a "mean ingless gesture" to American workers, but one that had "ef fectively destroyed" the bra ccro program. Goldwatar's Comment Sen. Barry Goldwater (R Ariz.) said many of the Ihw makers voting for the amendment, offered by Sen. Eugene McCarthy (D-Minn.), did "not know what they're talking about." Sen. Thomas H.
