Viet Debate
Continued from page one
necessitate “significant” supple
mentary administration re
quests for defense appropria
tions, probably on the order of
$4 billion to $6 billion.
But what set the President’s
critics off in the Senate Tuesday
was an accusation from two
Senators of his own party,
George S. McGovern, D-S.D.,
and Stephen M. Young, D-Ohio,
that Johnson had brought
General Westmoreland home
from Saigon to lobby for more
troops and to try to stifle
dissent.
In a speech in New’ York
Monday, Westmoreland warned
of bitter fighting ahead and
charged that peace demonstra
tions in the United States only
encouraged the enemy and
caused more American casual
ties.
In his speech McGovern said:
“In trying to imply that it is
American dissent w’hich is
causing the Vietnamese to
continue the war, the adminis
tration is only confessing the
weakness of its own case by
trying to silence its critics and
confuse the American people.
“It is not the impact of the
dissent on Hanoi that worries
the administration. It is the fact
the the cfssenters have exposed
the contradictions, the false
hoods and the resulting credibi
lity gap which surrounds
administration policy ... a
policy of madness which sooner
or later will envelop my son and
American youth by the millions
for years to come.”
McGovern’s speech also w’as
applauded by Sen. Robert F
Kennedy, D-N.Y.; who said:
“As surely as we are standing
here, the Soviet Union, Commu
nist China, and North Vietnam
will have to react to what we
have done by acting themselves.
“If we trace the history of the
world, is it not a fact that that
is how the destruction of
mankind is ultimately arrived
at?”
Young said the administration
should intensify its peace efforts
“rather than calling General
Westmoreland home at this
time to lobby for further
escalation of the war.”

FRINGE BENEFIT
BURNLEY, England (UPI) —
The fringe benefit offered by
home builder Richard Woodhead
was one few men could resist.
Woodhead names streets after
good workers.
That’s why the 48-home estate
near Burnley features Singleton
Ave., named after foreman
Harry Singleton, and Masterson
Ave., named after bookkeeper
Mrs. Olive Masterson.
“I never understand how
people could name streets after
people who had nothing to do
with them,” said Woodhead.
Griffin Store
Will Join In
Founder’s Event
Few’ ever stop to wonder about
the beginnings of large and suc
cessful American businesses.
Most were started by one man
who had little capital but great
vision, faith and determination.
A. G. Rhodes, founder of the
Rhodes Furniture Chain which
now operates 64 stores in seven
southern states, was such a
man.
Ninety-two years ago, shortly
after the Civil War, young Rho
des and his widowed mother mo
ved from Henderson, Ky. to At
lanta, Ga. The total family as
sets amounted to $75. and a gold
watch of questionable value left
to Rhodes by his father. In or
der to provide shelter and food
for his mother and himself, Rho
des started making picture fra
mes in his basement at night
and selling them door-to-door the
following day.
He soon found that, though
people wanted his frames, they
had no money to pay for them.
So, he got the idea of letting
them have the frames and “pay
ing a little along.” Thus was
born the installment plan of sell
ing furniture.
By 1875. his business had gr
own to such proportions, he rent
ed a small building and began
adding other lines of furniture.
From this meager beginning in
1875 the Rhodes Chain has gr
own and prospered until today
there are 64 Rhodes Furniture
stores serving the southeast in
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Mis
issippi and Virginia.
The Rhodes Store in Griffin
was opened in September 1934.
Loy D. Roberts is manager. The
company’s headquarters are still
in Atlanta, Ga. C. D. Collins
heads the organization. Begin
ning Thursday, the local Rhodes
Store will join the other 63 in a
nine-day Founder’s Days Cele
bration honoring Amos Giles
Rhodes.
