Teddy Kennedy and Texan John Connally for the Democratic convention's nomination for President in 1976. The place vacated SO completely by the debacle of the George McGovern campaign, can be claimed by Kennedy because he supported McGovern enthusiastically and carried his state for the South Dakotan, Buckley pointed out. But Connally has a valid claim for attention also, it was quipped by Mr. Buckley.

for he supported all Democratic nees except McGovern. and earned the right to continue as a party chieftain if the fractured leadership turns not only from McGovern but from McGovernism. 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.

Bucklev said Nixon as a reelected President, would probably permit refined" inflation to continue, and 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 speaker 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 membershin in the rank and file of the Republican party. He said the mystery 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 and just society that disbelieves in the You Get More Of Everything Out Of Mississippi's Two Map. will be in the Pelahatchie Cemetery.

She use of force in international society that translates bv an act of will a Russia into a Switzerland." The turn to McGovern was. Buckley feels, motivated in large part by an "analysis (by McGovernites) of the Nixon presidency, a general public insight into the Nixon administration, and an exasperation with (it's) hypocrisy." Along the same vein, Buckley more than hinted that he is not entirely satisfied with the Nixon record himself.

In response to a question following his speech, Buckley said that he actually believes Nixon to be secretly a conservative and that someday it will slip out and surprise everyone. A CONSEVATIVE? During the coming term, Buckley foresees not a crusadingly conservative president, but one who dwells 1 upon a "consolidation of social legislation" much like that of the late thirties. Nixon was also compared to Eisenhower who, Buckley seemed to Believe, was content to let the country settle into a comfortable mold and coast along for several years rather than attempt reforms. The delay in the program was smoothed over with unusual finesse by the string quartet of the Jackson Symphony Orchestra which extended its presentation beyond what had originally been planned. Dr.

Singers, dancers, and instrumentalists will perform music of the late 17th century as the viewer tours the halls and gardens of the great palace, pausing at Gallery of Mirrors, the Venus salon, the Chapel. Authentically costumed in the elaborate dress of the period, the ladies and gentlemen of the Sun King's lavish court will re-enact one of Louis' legendary threedav feasts. King of France at the age of four, Louis XIV reigned for 72 vears-from 1643 until his death in 1715. A consistent theme of his reign was the pursuit of his own glory--nowhere more evident than in the sumptuous palace which he caused to be built at Versailles. With constant modifications of the King's command, the construction of the palace took almost 50 years.
