Rep. Jones Asks
Merit Revamp
MACON, Ga. (UPI) — The
state merit system needs a “top
to bottom overhaul” to prepare
for the 1970’5, State Rep.
Charles M. Jones of Hinesville
told a civic club Tuesday.
"State employes (In the
1970’5) will be called on for
service and competence far be
yond anything rendered In the
past,” Jones predicted. “A fair
and equitable merit system will
help make this a reality.”
Jones said all but the highest
echelon Jobs should be put un
der the system. Some 16,000 of
the state 44,000 workers are not
now under the system.
“This piecemeal approach
must be ended. It doesn't make
sense to give this protection to
some employes and not to
others,” said Jones, who many
expect to run for lieutenant gov
ernor next fall. Jones served as
House Majority whip during the
1969 legislative sessions.

Talmadge Deplores
Dropout Rate
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen.
Herman Talmadge, noting that
Georgia’s high school drop out
rate is the nation’s highest, said
Wednesday the "tragic drain”
of the state’s potential must be
stopped.
Good education means good
leadership, said the Junior sena
tor, and “education is the key to
many of our other problems, in
cluding unemployment, housing,
hunger, and civil disorders.”

gians in school to stay there.
And urged those who have
dropped out to take advantage
of the job training programs
throughout Georgia.
Dental Care
for Migrants
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
Two University of California
mobile dental clinics are fol
lowing migrant farm workers
this summer in the San Joaouin
Valley, as the workers follow
the ripening crops.
The two clinics are staffed by
dental students and faculty’
members who provide free care
for the workers' children.
“About 1,200 youngsters,
most of whom have never been
to a dentist, will be treated by
teams of our dental, pharmacy
and dental hygiene students and
faculty,” said Dr. Merle E.
Morris, specialist in children’s
dentistry at the UC Medical Cen
ter and the project’s director.

vice-president in the second

Ulysses Grant, was born
Jeremiah Colbath. He
changed his name to Henry
W’ilson at the age of 17.
NAACP Enters
School Cases
In Georgia
ATLANTA (UPI) — The
NAACP, fearful that the Nixon
Administration is trying to
slacken rather than quicken the
pace of school desegregation in
Georgia, filed a motion Tues
day to intervene in the recent
United States suit against nine
Georgia school districts.
The motion was filed by the
NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund
(LDF) and named four black
school children as the interven
ing parties.
Jesse DeVore, director of
punlic Information for the LDF
in New York City, explained the
motive behind the action. He
said action was taken “in anti
cipation that the Nixon Admin
istration will move to slow
Georgia school Integration as it
Just did in Mississippi.”
Health, Education and Wel
fare secretary Robert Finch re
cently delayed until December
desegregation of 30 Mississippi
school districts.
DeVore said the LDF’s mo
tion is a class action. That
means it will represent “all oth
er adults and minors similarly
situated.”
The LDF suit maintains that
the state’s some 360,000 black
public school students “are not
adequately represented” by the
U.S. government. In short, the
LDF said blacks have no con
trol over litigation affecting
their well-being. It is entirely
in the hands of the U.S. Attor
ney General and those who he
selects to hear.
Attorney Howard Moore Jr.,
who filed the LDF motion, also
expressed the fear that the U.S.
Attorney for the Northern Dis
trict of Georgia, John Stokes,
would not do Justice to the case.
The nine districts cited in the
U.S. suit are: the city of Rome,
Clinch County, Coffee County,
Dodge County, Emanuel Coun
ty, Franklin County, Heard
County, Telfair County and
Wheleler County.
However, Finch announced
late Tuesday that Heard County
had been erroneously included
in the suit, and that he was de
laying action against Franklin
County.
Pioneer
BERKELEY, Calif. (UPI) -
The first professor to teach nat
ionally via network television
received emeritus status at the
end of the academic year at the
University of California.
Harvey E. White, who taught
at Berkeley for 39 years, became
the favorite physics teacher of
the nation and the professor
with the largest class in the
world in 1958.
It was then he offered the
nrst college course for credit on
NBC-TVs “Continental Class
room.” For this and other tele
vision efforts, White has received
many awards including the Pea
body Award.
Natural vs. Native
The exact meaning
of "natural born,” a consti
tutional requirement for the
presidency, has not been de
termined by the courts but it
has been understood to refer
to those persons born on for
eign soil of American pa
rents. “Native born” refers
to those persons born within
the territorial limits of the
United States.

West Makes Suggestion
ATLANTA (UPI) _ Fulton
County School Supt. Paul West
suggested a possible means of
reopening the all-black Eva L.
Thomas high school Tuesday
and more or less dared the Col
lege Park City Council to take
the step.
West and the county school
board closed the $850,000 school
July 31st., supposedly to meet
federal school desegregation de
mands.
Black students, protesting the
closure and carrying placards
reading “We Love Eva Thomas
High',’’ were twice evicted from
the school's gym Saturday.
West, at a meeting with the
city council and school hno-d
Tuesday, suggested a council
resolution recommendin'? the
transfer of “a sizeabl enumber”
of white students from College
Park high school to Eva Thom
as. West said such a move
mleht please the U.S. Depart
ment of Health, Education and
We’fare and the courts.
The school board has all
along contended that closing
Eva Thomas was the only ac
ceptable choice offered by
HEW, West and U.S. Rep. Flet
cher Thompson, a republican
from Atlanta, also said the mat-
ter was now out of the board’s
hands, because the closing had
been sanctioned by a court or
der under a suit filed by the
NAACP.
The council seemingly put off
answering West’s challenge.
Councilman Joe White told
the school board, “I am just as
confused this morning as I have
been all along. This is a re
sponsibility of yours, not of us.”
Expression’s Origin
The expression, “neither
fish nor fowl nor good red
herring,” goes back to medi
eval times and means some
thing not suitable for any
group of people. Not fish,
which meant food for
monks; not fowl, which
would have been suitable for
the general run of people;
nor good red herring, which
would have been for the
poorest people.
