Callaway Named
Republican Speaker
JACKSON, Miss. (UPI) —For
mer Georgia Congressman How
ard U. Callaway was nanded
Wednesday as featured speaker
for the biennial convention of
the Mississippi Federation ol
Republican women here April
6 .
Callaway, a Republican, led a
three-man field in the 1966 gu
bernatorial race in Georgia. But
he failed to receive a majority
vote and the election was thrown
into the Georgia General Assem
bly which named Democrat Les
ter Maddox governor.
Callaway was Georgia’s first
GOP representative in modern
history when he was elected to
Congress in 1964. He currently
serves as chairman of the board
of directors of Freedoms Foun
dation at Valley Forge, Pa.
Lt Gov. Smith
Sees Insurance
Rate Increases
Lt. Gov. George T. Smith told
the Griffin Kiwanis Club Wed
nesday he thinks insurance rat
es will go up as a result of a bill
passed by the General Assem
bly.
”1 don’t see how they can help
but go up,” he said.
The measure took state con
trols off insurance rates.
The lieutenant governor said
he questioned the bill when he
first received it. But he said he
was assured by Comptroller
Jimmy Bentley who is insurance
commissioner that it was a good
bill and recommended it be
passed.
"It’s one of those wait-and-see
bills,” Lt. Gov. Smith said.
He said he supported the one
percent sales tax option propos
al for cities and counties for two
reasons. First, he said that lo
cal people would have to appro
ve of the tax In a referendum.
Secondly, he said a provision
was included that would elimi
nate the local sales tax if a state
measure were passed later in
creasing the sales tax to fo u r
percent.
"I got clobbered on this bill,”
Lt. Gov. Smith admitted. ‘‘It’s
not the first time and it won’t
be the last,” he said.
The lieutenant governor pass
ed up any more comment on
the reapportionment measure
the General Assembly passed.
He said earlier this week he
didn’t think federal courts would
okay the plan. His comment
brought sharp criticisms from
a number of people at the state
capitol.
Sen. Bob Smalley introduced
the lieutenant governor.
Sens. Ben Johnson of Atlanta
and A1 Holloway of Albany ac
companied the lieutenant gover
nor to Griffin,

Bolton Tells
About Struggle
For Control
Atty. Gen. Arthur Bolton told
the Griffin Rotary Club today
that the power struggle for con
trol of the state’s money con
tinues between the legislative
and executive branches of gov
ernment.
It was the second talk he has
made in Griffin, his home town,
since he became attorney gen
eral.
Bolton noted that the struggle
for fcontrol of the state’s bud
get and fiscal affairs came into
the open during the administra
tion of Gov. Ernest Vandiver.
During that administration as
well as others, Bolton was a
member of the House from Sp
alding County. He served many
years in the House until he re
signed to become attorney ge
neral.
Bolton pointed out that the
struggle tor tinancial control
was evident in the recent ses
sion of the General Assembly.
In his talk, he outlined the dut
ies of the attorney general’s of
fice. Bolton said that he n o w
has the power to appoint his as
sistants whereas previously the
governor had some appointive
powers In his staff makeup.
In a talk to the Griffjn B P W
Luncheon Club shortly after
he became attorney general,
Bolton said that this was one
thing that needed changing.
Bolton told the Rotary Club
that as attorney general he
was the legal arm of the execu
tive branch of government.
Some people have the wrong
impression that the attorney ge
neral primarily is concerned with
prosecution of wrong-doers on
the state level of government,
Bolton explained.
Sometimes this responsibility
falls to his office, he said, but
this is not one of the primary
areas in which he works.
Bolton still maintains his home
in Griffjn and a law practice
here, although a good deal of
his time must be spent in At
lanta to handle the office of at
torney general.
“Dead As Dormouse”
The term "dead as a dormou
se” stems from the fact that the
dormouse, small rodent which
inhabits the colder climates, hi
bernates in its winter nest and
often sleeps as long as six mon
ths at a time, according to the
Encyclopaedia Britannica.
