Teachers Say
Resolution Was
Misunderstood
The Griffin-Spalding Education
Association said today that it be
lieves the resolution it passed
this week had been misunder
stood.
Charles Mobley, president;
and Ralph Gaskins, chairman of
the legislative committee, in a
joint statement today said the
resolution did not mention teach
er salaries at all. They said it
asked for the legislature to fin
ance an adequate program of
education for Georgia children.
(Although the resolution did
not mention teacher salaries nor
the possibility of a one percent
sales tax increase, both were
discussed by the teachers when
the resolution was presented.
(The resolution was presented
by Gaskins as chairman of the
legislative committee. It said in
part .... “Be it further resol
ved that members of the Spald
ing County Legislative Delega
tion be urged to vote for adequ
ate appropriations for schools
even If higher taxes are need
ed."
(D. T. Smith, principal of Cres
cent school, made a motion that
the reference of higher taxes be
deleted from the resolution. He
said teachers never should go on
record as asking for a raise in
taxes to get a salary increase. He
said about 50 teachers suppor
ted his motion but that it was
defeated and the original word
ing of the Gaskins resolution
was adopted.)
The statement made by Presi
dent Mobley and Chairman
Gaskins today was;
"The Griffin-bfialding Educa
tion Association believes that the
resolution it passed last Wed
nesday has been misunderstood.
The resolution did not mention
teacher salaries at all, but ask
ed for the legislature to finance
an "Adequate Program of Edu
cation for Georgia children”.
"G.S.B.A. leaders admit sa
laries are a part of an adequ
ate education program, but that
is only one part of the multi
phase program of quality edu
cation.
"People are misled about
teachers salaries. They think
(and say to us) Gov. Sanders
gave the teachers a Christmas
present of $130 and now Gov.
Maddox has given a month $700.
The public hears all this talk
about money for teachers salar
ies but does not stop and think
about the fact that the money
must be appropriated. No teach
er In the state has received a
penny of this headline money
yet, and sometimes it looks as
if they never will.
“If teachers received as many
raises as the public assumes, we
certainly would not have over
500 vacancies now for classroom
teachers in the State of Georgia.
“The Griffin-Spalding Coun
ty Education Association belie
ves in a full program of educa
tion of the highest quality for
all children. This program must
be financed by state and local
taxes. The Association feels that
local citizens in Griffin and Spal
ding County are paying their
fair Share of this cost. We feel
that it is the responsibility of
the state to provide the money
for added costs.
“G.S.E.A. believes that schools
are operated for the benefit of
children to prepare them to
compete in a space age world.
We further believe that failure
to provide adequate opportuni
ties for development is a crime
against the rising generation.
“G.S.E.A. believes that par
ents have more at stake here
than teachers. Your children will
be severely handicapped if we
provide them with less than the
best education.
"G.S.E.A. believes that par
ents should insist that the legis

Spanish students at Spalding Junior High listen to recording and repeat what they hear.
Earphones Help Junior High Students
Get The ‘Feel’ Of Spanish Language
Students in the Griffin-Spald
ing School System are learning
Spanish through the audio-lin
gual approach to teaching for
eign languages.
The system requires a console
for the language teachers and
tables with headphones for stu
dents. Recordings are played on
the consoles and the students re
peat or write what they hear.
Luther Smith, Spanish instruc
tor at Spalding Junior High, said
the students are drilled on hear
ing and speaking Spanish and
then are drilled on principles and
culture of the target language.
Students must be fairly profi
cient in oral skill before the
drills on grammar and culture
are started.
The system permits the stu
dent to receive more for the
time he puts into it, Mr. Smith
said. He said the system, known
as the Mangiafico system, speeds
learning and increases retention
of the language being taught.
One of the first things stuients
learn in Spaanish is: “Good mor
ning, how are you.” Translations
of the language are not emphas
ized at first.
The students are taught to wr
ite the language with a reason
able degree of speed and crea
tivity. Some of the culture of the
language is taught by song.
Smith said the first three les
sons teach the combinations of
Spanish sounds.
He said the students learn to
react with the muscles when
they hear a Spanish word. This
makes it easier for them to le
arn to speak the language.
The Spanish classes at Spald
ing Junior High are available as
Husband Not Dead In Viet
She’s Known For Week
DAVIDSON, N. C. (UPI) —
Mrs. Martha Halyburton said
today that she had known for
about a week that her Navy
lieutenant husband, who bad
been listed as killed in action
for more than a year, had turn
ed up as a prisoner of war in
Hanoi.
“It’s had quite an impact on
us,” Mrs. Halyburton said.
“But it's not all over yet. I’m
certainly very hopeful about
it.”
Her husband, Lt. (J.g.) Por
ter A. Halyburton, of Decatur,
Ga., had been listed as killed
in action on Oct. 20, 1965 when
his airplane, apparently hit by
North Vietnamese fire, went
down.
The tracks led to Roberts’
garage. Stewart called the
police and Roberts was arrested
and charged with grand theft.

Rome Detective
Gets 5 Years
ATLANTA (UPI) A Su
perior Court jury convicted vet
eran Rome Detective Capt. Wil
liam Terhune of assault with
intent to murder Friday night
in the shooting of an Atlanta
policeman.
Judge Stonewall Dyer sen
tenced Terhune to five years
in state prison. The defense has
10 days in which to appeal the
guilty verdict.
Terhune, 51, was accused of
shooting Atlanta Policeman
Charles Hix five times after the
officer tried to stop him on the
south expressway for speeding
and weaving.
Terhune told the court that
the night of the shooting seems
“like a bad dream.” He testi
fied he could remember noth
ing about the incident or of
being wounded himself.
Hix returned the fire and
wounded Terhune three times.
Hix was struck five times.
Both men recovered satisfac
torily.
Thq defense pleaded insanity
in the case, hoping to win
acquittal on those grounds. If
the Jury had returned such a
verdict, Terhune would have
been confined to the Milledge
ville State Hospital for treat
ment.
programmed so students who
take the course in the seventh gr
ade also should take it in the
eighth and ninth grades.
The programs at Spalding
Junior High and Griffin High are
coordinated closely, Mr. Smith
said. He said the Spanish pro
gram at Spalding is preliminary
for the program at Griffin High.
Students who take the course
are screened to make sure they
can take a five course work load.
Mr. Smith said transcriptions
by students are shown on a sc
reen with the use of an opaque
projector so they learn the lan
guage not only from what they
hear, but also from what they
see.
A vocabulary is prepared in
line with the level of achieve
ment in the course.
Mr. Smith said students learn
to know the language when they
see and hear it through the sys
tem. He taught Spanish at Spal
ding Junior High last year, us
ing the Mangiafico system, with
out the laboratory. He said the
laboratory makes the teaching
easier and the learning speed
ier.
18 Cars Derailed
At Dupont Yard
DUPONT, Ga. (UPI)—Eigh
teen cars of a 122-car car At
lantic Coast Line freight train
derailed Friday in the railroad
yard here, but there were no
injuries.
The cause was not officially
determined, but a witness said
an axle appeared to break on
one of the cars. The wreckage
was described as looking “like
a scrap iron pile.”
The Pentagon disclosed Fri
day that Halyburton had not
been killed but had turned up,
with two other Navy officers
also listed as killed, as captives
of the enemy.
They were the first Ameri
cans in the Vietnam conflict to
have been reported dead but to
be located alive. Such mixups
are so rare that there were
only 23 such reports in World
War II when the United States
put 11 million men in uniform.
Mrs. Halyburton, 24, here vis
iting a friend and her husband’s
ailing mother, said the Defense.
Department had notified her a
bout a week ago that her hus
band had been reported alive
in the prisoner of war camjfc,
but asked her not to say any
thing until after a public an
nouncement.
The Halyburtons have a two
year-old daughter who was only
10 days old when the lieutenant
last saw her.
The officer was a student at
Davidson College here and be
fore that he had attended Se,
wanee Military Academy in
Tennessee, where he was grad
uated in 1959.
When he was reported killed
in action, a drive was started
at Sewanee to erect a memorial
to the school’s "first casualty
in Vietnam.”

Georgia Owns

ATLANTA (UPI)—The Gener
al, famed Civil War locomotive
stolen by the Andrews raiders,
belongs to Georgia — no matter
What the City of Chattanooga,
Tenn. says.
That’s what Louisville and
Nashville Railroad President
William Kendall told a legisla
tive hearing Friday.
"This engine belongs to the
state of Georgia,” he said.
“When you issue us instructions
as to what to do with it, we
will do it."
There has been a heated fight
for years between Georgia and
Chattanooga over the ownership
of the old locomotive and atione
time Chattanooga wouldn’t let
the train come through Georgia
on exhibition tours for fear it
would be stolen.
Hie famed engine is now at
the L & N’s shops in Louis
ville, Ky„ awaiting word from
Georgia. The engine was dis
played for a while in Chatta
noga’s Union Station, but it was
hauled off one night for repairs.
Shocked Chattanoogans first
thought Georgia had stolen the
locomotive.
Kendall said the 112 - year
old engine was now in running
condition and could be called
for a special run at any time.

Russia Starts
Evacuation Of
Embassy People
By HENRY SHAPIRO
United Press International
MOSCOW (UPI) —The Krem
lin accused Communist Chinese
authorities today of organizing
anti-Soviet “orgies” and began
an airlift evacuation of Russian
women and children from
Peking.
“The restraint and patience of
the Soviet people are not
unlimited,” an official Soviet
note to Peking said. “The Soviet
Union reserves the right to take
measures necessary to protect
its citizens and its lawful
interests.”
It demanded “the most urgent
measures” to stop the Red
Guard riots which the Soviets
said have raged uncontrolled
around the Soviet embassy in
Peking for 10 days and forced
the Kremlin to begin reducing
its staff there to a mere
skeleton crew.
The first planeload of wives
and children of Russian diplo
mates in Peking arrived in
Moscow today, the government
Aeroflot Airlines said.
Four giant Soviet TU-104
jetliners are expected to shuttle
between Moscow and Peking
during the next four days to
bring home the 20 women and
children.
This includes all the families
of Soviet diplomats and repre
sentatives in Peking.
The Kremlin statement was
distributed to foreign newsmen
and gave the Soviet version of
an incident at the Chinese
embassy here Friday night.
The Chinese, however, stole a
propaganda march on the
Russians by holding a news
conference earlier today.
The embassy charged that
hordes of Soviet policemen
armed with axes, saws and
hammers went on a rampage of
destruction through its com
pound Friday night and "brutal
ly beat up” 31 Chinese
diplomats.
The Kremlin quickly denied
that police were involved in the
incident or that Chinese officials
were manhandled. But it
admitted that “Soviet citizens,”
angered by an anti-Russian
propaganda display at the
embassy, entered the Chinese
compound and tore down the
display.
In its statement today, the
Russians said "the cynicism of
what is now taking place in
Peking surpasses even the
actions of the Chiang Kai-shek
authorities in the grimmest
times of their reactionary rule.”
The Russian statement
coupled with the Chinese
propaganda blast and the Soviet
airlift from Peking sunk Sino
Russian relations to the lowest
point of their 10-year-old ideolo
gical feud.
A Chinese Embassy spokes
man said Peking filed a “firm
protest” with the Soviet Foreign
Ministry Friday night, accusing
160 Moscow policemen of
"fascist barbarity” in tearing
down the propaganda display
and beating Chinese diplomats
who tried to stop them.
The Chinese charges were
made at a news conference—the
embassy’s second in a week.
Both sides agreed that the
Russians took down Chinese
propaganda displays after the
Chinese ignored official Soviet
protests about them. By this
morning, the only sign of
Friday night’s trouble was
broken glass — which appeared
to come from bottles, not
window planes.

that he may pass it on to
someone else.”
Education Panel
Reluctantly
Okays Budget
By ANN MOHR
United Press Intern a tionaI
ATLANTA (UPI)—State edu
cation leaders agreed Friday
Gox. Lester Maddox’s proposed
budget for education won’t pull
Georgia schools out of the “bar
gain basement” but is a step in
the right direction.
The Georgia Education Co
ordinating Committee endorsed
the governor’s budget reluctant
ly after talk began among legis
lators about possible cuts even
in the Maddox offer.
"We want to be realistic,”
chairman M. S. McDonald said.
"The total requested by the
State Board of Regents was
more than the state could possi
bly levy.”
McDonald, superintendent of
schools at Rome, said the group
was not backtracking from earl
ier requests but was “reacting
to what we’ve heard legislators
saying.”
The committee, which an
nounced formation of a special
subcommittee to back the Mad
dox proposal held a news con
ference Friday. It represents
the state’s most powerful educa
tion interest groups.
Powerful Groups
They include the State Depart
ment of Education, the Board
of Regents, the School Boards
Association, the Georgia Con.
gress of Parents and Teachers
the Georgia Association of
School Administrators.
The committee emphasized the
governor’s request for a $1,259
average teacher salary hike
over two years was still “top
priority” on their agenda.
“There’s been talk about an
across the board raise or
spreading the increase over a
four - year period,” McDonald
said. “This committee is oppos
ed to that.”
Georgia Education Association
President Clyde Kimball said
thq major problem in state edu
cation is “attracting young
teachers out of college and hold
ing on to the experienced ones.”
He said Georgia is in the
"bargain basement” on both
counts.
"You can’t expect to induce
young teachers when you offer
them $4,200. They’ll go to neigh
boring states or even to indus
try,” he said. “But we’re hav
ing a problem keeping the ex
perienced teachers as well. We
have got to provide incentive
for them.”
'Grave Mistake’
Sam Wood of the Georgia
School Administrators Associa
tion said It would be a “grave
mistake” to Increase the salar
ies of classroom teachers with
out also boosting administrators
and special personnel.
“It would result in having
teachers in some instances draw
greater salaries than princi
pals,” Wood said and Kimball
agreed.
"We are violently opposed to
any move to try to divide our
professional people,” Kimball
Midi
