John The rollicking wit and keen observations of the entertaining commentator drew and held a large crowd at City Auditorium, where he appeared under auspices of the ETV network of Mississippi. His appearance was an hour late because of plane connections missed in Atlanta, but his determination to come on surmounted obstacles, and his audience thought he was well worth waiting for.

They kept him answaring questions well past ten o'clock. Buckley said Nixon as a reelected Pres'-'ent, would probably permit -efined" inflation to continue, hazarded the guess that no one, including the Jackson audience, would stand still for the stringent measures that would be necessary firmly to control inflationary tendencies. The sneaker said any conclusion that the Nixon victory means the Republicans have become a majority party are probably mistaken. He expressed the opinion that voters whose dislike of Nixon was less than their great dislike for McGovern, are not good prospects for membership in the rank and file of the Republican party. He said the mvstery of how "the most unpopular" president in modern history could win the most sweeping victory in that same period, could be explained in the great national distrust of Mr.

McGovern. Buckley said he considers McGovern a dangerous man" and that an "optimistic view" of the future political situation would center on the passing away of the McGovern type political current. Such a view may not be totally realistic in Buckley's opinion, however, because McGovern "was not himself the catalyst" of the movement but simply "its principal spokesman for the past two years." GLAD OF DEFEAT Buckley explained that he was glad to see McGovern's defeat and, thereby, the prevention of the "McGovernism" movement from gaining power because he considers the "movement which survives antithetical to the country." Why, if McGovern was not the author of the new political scene did the attention focus so vividly upon him? McGovern is, Buckley says, comparable to Franklin D. Roosevelt in the manner in which he came from behind to win the convention battle and fought an underdog's campaign. McGovern was, in the eyes of his supporters, a "Messianic" figure who sincerely believed that McGovern's mission was creation of "That true and just society that disbelieves in the Graduate Record Due WASHINGTON The U.S.

King of France at the age of four, Louis XIV reigned for 72 years from 1643 until his death in 1715.

With constant modifications of the King's command, the construction of the palace took almost 50 years. Vast sums of money were spent on the famous fountains alone, and many lives were lost in an attempt to provide an adequate supply of water for them.
