F. Smith, executive vice president of Delta Council, and Dr. Walter Porter, station superintendent, before making a tour of DBES laboratories and greenhouses: "Stoneviile is more renowned throughout the world in scientific circles than" any of the large cities of this area, Smith said. is the foremost cotton research institute in the world." Smith briefly discussed agriculture in the national economy and then turned to the state. "Agriculture provided a $1.1 billion income last year in Mississippi." he said.

"Of this, $343 million came from cotton." The dollar from cotton or other farm production turns over six or seven times in Ihe community, Smith said, because of the wide variety of goods and services necessary for agricultural production. "We are making progress in industrialization," he continued, "but while we are making this progress, we don't want to overlook agriculture. We want to improve it. Dr. Porter described the experiment station as "an extension of the main campus of Mississippi State University." It is one of 10 experiment stations in the state which are all part of the MSU system, he said, but it is the largest and the one where most of the basic research related to cotton and soybeans is carried out.

Among these are ways to prevent pollution, elimination of nut greass and Johnson grass, effects of pesticides on humans improvement of cotton production and quality. Of special importance and interest, he said, is the work with pesticides, "I feel pesticides are absolutely essential," he said.

"Without them we probably wouldn't have any crops to worry about. "Weoughtnottoiose any (pesticides) due to hysteria," he continued, "but at the same time we want to get any which are dangerous out of the system."

Gen.

Lewis B. Henhey, director of selective service, of "nullifying" the will of Control. His alleged offense was that of continuing to drift In the closing months of World War 0. Sixteen yean ago angry democrats declared In the privacy of their Congressional offices the next democratic president would oust J. Edgar Hoover as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

His alleged offense In their eyes was that In the famous Harry Dexter White security CMC he had helped the Eisenhower Administration tarnish the reputation of the Truman Administration. Hoover and Henhey! The years pass--Hoover will be 76 on New Year's Hershey Just turned 76-and the brickbats continue flying. In the 1968 campaign Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy (D-Mlnh.) said that, If elected President, he would fire Hoover.

Former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey said that if he were elected he would dump Hershey. The time has come for Hoover to retire, former Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark said recently.

The time has come for President Nixon to remove Henhey, the New York Times asserted in an editorial the other day. Yet the time, seemingly, never conies at all fc either case Hoover has been FBI Director since 1824. Each yew rumors circulate that their retirement Is at hand. Like Mr. Pecksniffs horse, however, they are always going to go but never going.

Their prolonged tenure hi the face of criticism is a classic example of bureaucratic entrenchment In Washington. The two men have been able to hold on thus far because each In his way has become a kind of Both have enduring allies in Congress and elsewhere who provide them with much greater political power than that of their critics, who mostly range from moderates to liberals to militants. Furthermore, of course, each has a long record of outstanding accomplishment and each has fashioned an agency that performs a vita! function in government, controversial though it may be. The case against Hoover and the case against Hershey as argued by their respective critics are similar in many respects. Thus both are said to be too old to be in tune with new currents of thought Both, It Is argued, are out of touch with the feelingi and aspirations of youth.

Both are Fathart Time: Hwshey (left) and Hoover accused of being too conservative, too autocratic, too crusty, too inflexible, too dosely Identified with super-patriotism and too much in the mold of political sacred cows. Hoover's accomplishments are obvious. He has formed an Incomparable police organization. As the FBI's success in combating gangsters in the thirties and saboteurs In World War demonstrates, he was far ahead of his time in developing scientific methods of law enforcement. Only a superb administrator could have developed a force with the skill and esprit of the FBI agents.

Hoover has done a masterful Job of maintaining standards of honesty and Incorruptibility throughout his organization. He has kept It out of overt intrusions into politics. Most of his critics would probably grant these Their strong objection is that he has held hb gnat power too long, that his voluminous personal files on individual Americans gives him power of intimidation, if he should ever chose to use It. Rumors persist that they are through, but Hershey and Hoover-like the rumors-persist, too! Critics also charge that over the years Hoover has often contrived to circumvent the authority of the Attorney General, whose jurisdiction includes the FBI. They accuse him of having been slow to move in support of Negroes' rights, of taking too hard a line on "law-and-otder" and of engaging in Red-baiting.

Like Hoover, Hershey has done an effective job In his field over the years. There Is no question but what he has been an outstanding authority on manpower procurement. During World War II some 10,000,000 men were drafted under his management. The consensus was that on the whole the Selective Service process was reasonable, fair and remarkably effective In supplying the armed forces with men. Hershey too has been an able administrator and, like Hoover, commands deep personal loyalties among his associates.

Indeed one of the criticisms now levelled against him is that the Selective Service System after all these years has become his personal organization. He concedes that there Is truth In this and grants that It is unfortunate. A large part of his problem Is that the war Is detested, and among the young he has become an Inevitable symbol of it because he operates the draft. Millions of young men are In no mood to be drafted In any case. To be drafted by a 76-year-old general Is exasperating to them, all the more so since the salty old patriot simply does not speak their lingo.

No woree generation gap exists than the one between the reluctant draftee and Hetshey. Hershey lias only made unnecessary trouble for himself by such assertions as that violent protesters against the draft are "enemies of the United States or stooges for the enemies of the United States." And he opened the floodgates of mistrust when he told draft boards they might end deferments for registrants who participate In Illegal demonstrations. Up to now at least Hoover's arid Hershey's supporters have wielded much more political clout than their critics. Both men possess a shrewd sense of where power lies in Congress, and both are masters at making allies of vsicnris' groups and patriotic organizations that can make- their sentiments felt In Washington. Rumors are again circulating that the two of them will be out of the government before long.

The about Hoover Is based pretty much on the assumption that he might decide that his 76th birthday on Jan. 1 would be an appropriate time to step down. The rumor about Hershey has more substance. President Nixon Is getting into an Increasingly tight political comer on the war. Anything he can do to push Its symbols out of sight would help some.

As he announced recently, he Is planning to reform the draft with some kind of random selection system. It Is unlikely that he would relieve Hershey at a time of major transition In Selective Service procedures because of the general's knowledge and experience. the new plan Is In operation early next year, however, Hershey will probably be forced at last to step aside for a younger man.
