Melton insisted he was not
“fussing” with Maddox, but he
said his committee had “to
force the governor” to intro
duce the sales tax measure last
year. He also noted Maddox ve
toed the gasoline tax increase
passed last year.
About the current sales tax
increase proposed by Maddox,
Melton said, “There have been
two strikes across the plate and
a third is coming up.”
The legislators have refused
twice to approve the tax in
crease.
Ice Deliveries
The first delivery of ice
into American homes was in
1802. This led to the building
of the ice chest and the ice
box, forerunners of modern
cold-storage methods.
City Blossomed
On Oct. 1, 1923, Mustafa
Kemal Ataturk, the father of
modern Turkey, made An
kara his capital for strategic,
political and sentimental
reasons. Ankara, a desolate
plateau at the time of the
Ke mail st revolution, has
blossomed into one of the
world’s most attractive
cities.

Maddox Orders Suit Drawn
To Stall School Orders
By O’NEIL HENDRICK
ATLANTA (UPI) — Gov.
lister Maddox ordered a suit
drawn up against the federal
government Tuesday in an ef
fort to stop the enforcement of
“discriminatory” public school
desegregation edicts in Georgia.
The suit, to be filed by Attor
ney General Arthur Bolton in a
federal court in Washington
within the next 12 days, will
contend that Georgia is being
denied equal protection of the
law because federal integration
orders to not apply uniformly
in all states.
“Don’t Surrender”
Maddox also urged Georgia
School Supt. Jack Nix and other
school officials not to “sur
render to the illegal and un
constitutional demands of the
U. S. Supreme Court.”
Many Southern school dis
tricts, including a number in
Georgia, are under orders to de
segregate by Feb. \.
Sen. Herman Talmadge, D-
Ga., said in the Senate Tuesday
the accelerated integration has
created “turmoil” in his state
and threatens to “undermine
education.” He said the govern
ment, the courts and congress
seem more concerned with
racial balance in classrooms
than with education.
Rep. Fletcher Thompson, R-
Ga., said he asked the Justice
DOC
Ordinance
Is Upheld
NEW ORLEANS (UPI )-Five
Subsections of the 1967 Atlanta
disorderly conduct ordinance
were upheld Tuesday by the
U. S. sth Circuit Court of Ap
peals.
The ordinance had been at
tacked by the Southern Chris
tian Leadership Conference and'
the Atlanta Workshop in Non-
Violence. Non-Violence workers
had been arrested under the
ordinance when they blocked
the doors of a privately-owned
building containing several of
Atlanta’s Selective Service
boards. The protest was against
the Vietnam War.
SCLC demonstrators also had
been charged under the act for
barring entry to the construc
tion site of an all-black high
school.
The two organizations suc
cessfully attacked seven of the
14 subsections of the law in
1968. At that time, a U. S. Dis
trict court in Atlanta ruled
those sections were unconstitu
tionally vague or overly-broad.
Tuesday’s ruling concerned
itself only with five of the sec
tions the lower court let stand
in the 1968 ruling.
Word’s Origin
The word “ghetto” is of
disputed origin but it prob
ably comes from a district in
the city of Venice, Italy,
where Jewish people lived in
segregation about 1516. It
was located near an iron
foundry called the “getto.”
Italian word for casting.
Thermometer Cricket
The North American
snowy tree cricket or “ther
mometer cricket” tells the
approximate temperature if
listeners count the number
of chirps in 15 seconds and
add 40, according to Ency
clopaedia Britannica.

"READY WHEN YOU ARE"
Department in a letter why
racial balance was used as a
standard instead of freedom
from discrimination. This ques
tion was ignored in the depart
ment’s reply, which said the
government intends to combat
school desegregation in the
North as well as the South,
Thompson said.
Kirk Predicts Extension
In Florida, Gov. Claude Kirk
predicted the Supreme Court
would grant his requested ex
tension of a Feb. 1 desegrega
tion deadline to June 15. Kirk
told the high court Monday if it
didn’t extend the deadline he
would do so himself by executive
decree.
The Florida Education Board,
headed by Kirk, told school of
ficials Tuesday to desegregate
on the basis of neighborhood
schools with “no duty" to bus
students to achieve a racial
balance.
Mississippi Gov. John Bell
Williams Tuesday praised Kirk
and Gov. John McKeithen of
I,ouisiana, who said he would
defy orders for busing students,
for their stands. “Now, hope
fully, Mississippi will not have
to stand alone, but may be able
to enlist some help from our
sister states and their govern
ors,” he said.
But Williams was accused of
letting the state “drift like a
ship at sea” in the face of mas
sive public school desegregation
by Sam 0. Cain, an official of
the Southern National Party,
who called for “offensive resist
ance.”
Around 500 students at Colum
bus, Ga., marched to the
school board Tuesday to protest
further school integration, and
in Atlanta, the Board of Man
agers of the Georgia Parent-
Teacher Association Tuesday
night called upon local PTA’s to
work with school officials “to
study and formulate plans for
continuing public education.”
