Exchange Club Talk
Sports Says Demos
To Keep Control
“Tbe Democratic party is very
much alive In Georgia and will
display great force In the next
election, Joe Sports, execu
tive director of the State Demo
cratic party told the Exchange
Club of Griffin yesterday. “We
will elect a Democrat to be gov
ernor and we’ll win races all
over the state,” he predicted.
Sports, who was introduced by
Jim Goolsby, chairman of the
Spalding County Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee, made thl
statement after he had told at
length of the problems, within
and without, that beset the Ge
orgia party during and after the
convention.
“Most Americans, and many in
foreign lands, witnessed every
detail of that convention on TV,
ana I, as one who had a part In
It, want to tell you that the con
vention was not as rough, not as
disorderly, not as confused as
pictured on TV. It was worse 1”
be said.
Sports told of the fight In com
mittee end on the floor aliout
seating the Georgia delegation.
He said the delegation that went
to Chicago as the “regulars”
was the first one that had not
been made up exclusively of
friends and supporters of a gov
ernor-elect.
“There were Democrats of ev
ery political school in that dele
gation,” he stressed.
Sports told how be and Rep.
Julian Bond, who headed the
challenging delegation, came
face to face on the floor of t h e
convention and it was quite evi
dent that the executive director
of the Democratic Barty in Ge
orgia does not admire Bond. At
one point in his speech he said,
“It Is a New York Congressman,
Clayton Powell, who first sug
gested that Julian Bond be no
minated for Vice-President on
the next Democratic ticket, and
others like him are falling in
line.”
NEXT GOVERNOR?
“Joe Sports is my name, and
politics Is my game,” Sports told
the Exchangltes early in his
speech. "I am frequently asked
about the next gubernatorial el
ection. I believe the two party
system In Georgia has benefited
the state because It provides he
althy competition for the De
mocratic party. But I do not be
lieve the time has come when a
Republican nominee will be a
serious contender for the office
of governor.”
Then, predicting the next gov
ernor would be a Democrat, he
said, “I am often asked ‘who
will sit in the Governor’s chair
after the next election?’ ”
My reply is, "At present,
there are three who would like
to. One of them has, one of them
almost did, and the third now li
ves with the one who is.”
Director Sports presented Sp
alding County Jim Goolsby, De
mocratic Executive Committee
chairman, a tie pin that has a
Georgia State Democratic don
key on it along with the flag of
Georgia. Sen. Russell accepted
one of these saying, "As long
as it is a Georgia Democratic tie
pin. I’ll gladly accept it a n d
proudly wear it”

Tax Reform
Hearings Set
WASHINGTON (UPI) —The
Nixon administration was ex
pected to ask the Senate
Thursday to be a little less
generous than the House in its
tax reform package.
Treasury Secretary David M.
Kennedy and his chief tax
assistant, Edwin S. Cohen, will
be the first witnesses when the
Senate Finance Committee
begins hearings on the tax
reform plan passed last month
by the House.
Administration spokesmen
have stressed they like most of
the bill but are worried it might
retard tbe fight against infla
tion by cutting some taxes by
more than $2 billion more than
it raises others.
Cohen is working on more
than 50 pages of testimony to
suggest changes to the Senate.
"Everyone welcomes lower
taxes,” Kennedy said in a
speech in Philadelphia. "But
there is a point at which too
deep a slash in federal
revenues could perhaps force
retrenchment 1 n important
domestic programs and even
Increase the already severe
Inflationary pressures.”
An administration request to
the Senate to be tougher than
the House goes against an
unwritten tradition. Usually the
Senate is more generous.
