'HE MIDNIGHT SUN FESTIVAL was a success this year. The
Festival created more interest than any previous longest-day
of-the-year celebration. The Midnight Sun Festival is now old
enought to be perpetuated as a traditional annual event.

challenge at a late date and in two weeks time "put on a show5’
that calls for a repeat next year, on a larger scale. It should be
announced early in the year so that other parts of the state may
plan to participate and outside tours can plan to see Nome, the
best known town in the state, when it is in holiday spirit.
To Johnnie Stephenson, who put together the celebration
and to Frank Couch, a newcomer with die talent of organizing,
and to Jim Manning for him emceeing, the community owes a
vos of thanks. Let’s have more of the same with the same
dership. Let’s start planning now!
SYLACAUGA, ALA., NEWS: "Secretary of Agriculture
Orville Freeman has offered this advice to Soviet Premier Khrush
chev: ‘Let your farmers operate their own farms.’ If the secretary
would offer the same advice to American farmers it would be
practicing what one preaches, whereas as it stands there is not too
much difference today in the Soviet method of collective farming
and die American federal subsidy.
EAST PRAIRIE, MO., EAGLE: “The profit picture in this
country is serious. In relation to sales, profits of manufacturers
after taxes last year amounted to only 4.2 cents of each dollar of
sales and have fallen steadily. In 1950 it was 7.1 cents on each
sales dollar. Profit is the life blood of American industry yet each
year it grows smaller and smaller.”

JFK May Have to
Campaign For
Demos in House
WASHINGTON UR — President
Kennedy may have to hit the cam
paign trail hard if he expects to
win in November the working ma
jority he concedes he now lacks in
Congress.
In words somewhat more severe
than he has employed before, Ken
nedy told his news conference
Wednesday that a share of the
blame for the roadblocks his pro
gram has encountered in the House
rests on some Democrats who have
been voting with Republicans for
25 years.
. Kennedy’s specific mention of
1938 as the inaugural date for the
enduring southern Democrat-Re
publican coalition pointed the fin
gar at a select group among 19
House members who have been in
Congress that long or longer.
Excluding the Republicans, Ken
nedy could count only a few —
such as Reps. Howard W. Smith,
(D-Va.), William M. Colmer, <D
Miss.), and Frank W. Boykin, (D
Ala.), — among the implacable
opposition^
But the mstoncai-mineci Fresi
dent obviously was talking about
the far wider range of conserva
tives who have been elected in
subsequent years — mostly from
the south — and who now deny
him a working majority on his con
troversial bills.
Kennedy appeared to believe
that to overcome this coalition the
Democrats would have to win a
bare minimum of six additional
administration supporters in a
House that is divided 263-174 in
favor of Democrats over Repub
licans.
This will take some doing in an
off-year election, since the party
in control of the White House has
lost ground in every such contest
since 1934.

to prove on the campaign trial that
he can rub some of his reputed
high popularity off on some ac
ceptable Democratic candidates.
