This much has been definitely The Jury is made up of a highly select group. Two Justice Department. At-f torneys are directing the pro- ceedings. More than 25 witnesses have already been interrogated. Practically all these witnesses are Government employees or former employees, connected with the Treasury, Foreign Ec-' onomic Administration, and the' Office of Strategic Services.

The. investigation has nothing to do with the Atomic Bomb. Significant clue on the big-name individuals the Grand Jury is interested in is indicated by some of the questions tossed at witnesses. They have been "Do you know Henry Mor-, genthau?" (Former Secretary of. the Treasury and close intimate of the late President Roosevelt.) "Do you know General Wil-; liam J.

Walker Wood, secretary of state, points out that during the current fiscal year Mississippi will benefit to the extent of over $15,000,000 from the USDA.

Ransom Aldrieh grows Aberdeen Angus cattle up near Michigan City, not far from the Tennessee line. He is one of the most skilled animal husbandrymen in this state. But raising cattle is but one of the accomplishments of Ransom Aldrieh. Ransom Aldrieh is president of the Mississippi Farm Bureau and is a member of. a number of national agricultural boards and commissions.

He is one of the ablest agricultural economists in America. The other day the editor of this newspaper had lunch with Mr. Aldrieh. He and this editor are fellow members on the Board of Trustees of Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning. It so happens that Mr.

Aldrieh recently returned from Europe where he attended the International Agricultural Producers Association in an official capacity. This association is a direct outgrowth of recommendations of the Security Council of the United Nations. Thirty-eight nations were represented. i Mr. Aldrieh says that Europe is flat; that conditions are far worse than most people in America believe.

He told of the shortage of merchandise. He was disappointed with France. He was amazed to see Germany flat upon the ground. He said he drove 24 miles through Berlin to find hardly a building standing. He toured Europe with the rank of major general.

This gave him the right to go pretty well where he pleased and to ask questions as he -saw fit. He glories in the way Holland is springing back. He feels that Britain is in as tragic economic conditions as the blasted nations on the continent. He told of talking with a German who had been interned in this country for 5 years by the F.B.I. Asked what he thought of the F.B.I.

Mr. Aldrieh said that the German replied, "It's great. Your F.B.I, protects the interests of the masses. The Gestapo protects the interests of the few." The things just mentioned substantiated the original statement that it will be a pleasure to have Mr. Aldrieh as a visitor in -McComb.

He is one of Mississippi's most unselfish sons. He is public spirited and contributes of his time and talent to advance Mississippi Agriculture, Mississippi education and Mississippi herself.
