has proposed a massive dose of
federal investment in America’s
countryside to lure migrants
back from crowded cities.
In no other way, the commit
tee decided, can the nation
solve the spiraling “urban prob
lem,” which has resulted from
72 per cent of the people crowd
ing themselves onto 2 per cent
of the land.
Basically, the committee’s ap
proach is to divert federal mon
ey toward creating job oppor
tunities and community services
to attract people to rural areas.
Underlying this idea is the be
lief, seldom spelled out but
widely shared, that if some bas
ic population readjustment does
not occur problems of cities are
beyond hope.
Rev. Andrew Young
becomes candidate
ATLANTA (UPI) — The Rev. Andrew Young, onetime
key aide to the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.,
announced Monday night that he will again be a candidate
to represent Atlanta in Congress.
His election would mark the first time the Deep South
has had a black congressman since Reconstruction.
Young, who won the Democratic nomination to
Congress two years ago only to lose, barely, to incombent
Republican Congressman Fletcher Thompson in the
general election, appears to have a better chance this
time.
Reapportionment has changed the black population of
Georgia’s new sth (Atlanta) District from 37 per cent to 43
per cent. And Thomas has announced he will not seek re
election, but will campaign for theU. S. Senate.
Young, a good-looking articulate, light-skinned, 42-year
old minister, a native of New Orleans, said he believed
“the majority of the people in the sth Congressional
District are willing to work and vote for those things I
believe in.”
A director of the Atlanta Community Relations
Commission, Young said, “an integrated administration
must commit itself to the task of developing a creative
approach to the city child, which assures him the highest
quality of education his mind can absorb.”
“We need a congressman who is willing and able to
work for peace, peace in Vietnam, peace in the Middle
East, peace in South Africa and furthermore peace in our
cities and streets and peace in our hearts.”
Chairman Herman Talmadge,
D-Ga., said, “I believe this is
one of the most important is
sues facing our country today."
The committee report to the
Senate was calculated to bear
this out.
In one of the most cataclys
mic but least reported events of
recent decades, 30 million Am
ericans, since World War 11,
have left farms and small
towns for the cities.
The committee report does
not delve into the cause, largely
attributed to farm mechaniza
tion, but in a long report de
sribes the results suitable for a
major documentary.
The crime, unemployment,
poverty, and substandard living
the hopeful migrants have found
in cities is already widely docu
mented.
What is not yet widely report
ed is the sterile, depopulated,
ghostland left behind. The com
committee sought to fill this
gap.
“Before the 1930 s Metcalf,
Ga., was a proud and prosper
ous little town,” the report said.
“The streets were lighted with
kerosene post lamps. Farmers
used to come in on Saturdays
to sell their cotton and produce
and there was enough com
merce to support two banks."
“Now,” the report said,
“there is just a tumbledown
store with a sign: ‘Food Stamps
Accepted.’ Metcalf is dead.”
A large segment of the migra
tion from the nation’s farms and
Metcalfs were the South’s
Hacks who were left jobless by
farm mechanization and now
live on urban welfare benefits.

To Be Sure You Have This Important Choice
Please Remember... mausoleum space must be reserved and built before the time (???) it’s
needed. That’s why now is the time to make a decision. For now, you have the opportunity to
reserve crypts in the New Units Os Oak Hill Mausoleum, which is soon to be built, in Griffin’s
Beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery.
To Help You Make This Important Decision
We’ll gladly furnish you with more complete information on both ground burial and above ground

values and other important features of each. Then, whichever one you prefer, we’ll help you
arrange terms to fit your budget. Without obligation, we invite you to call or visit us about this
important decision which every family should make before the time (???) it’s needed.

The committee said this mi
gration has slowed but still con
tinues at an estimated rate of
600,000 per year. The report
cited this incident:
“Following the riots in Detroit
a few years ago the business
community of that city formed
an organization that created
50,000 new jobs for the poor.
“It was an enormous commu
nity effort. And when it was
done, Detroit learned that its
unemployment rate was slightly
higher than it had been before
the jobs had been created.
“The word had gone out on
the migration grapevine that
there were jobs for rural peo
ple who wanted to work.”
The idea that the basic way
to tackle the cities’ problems is
to restore opportunity to the na
tion’s vast rural economic
wasteland has received almost
universal lip service.
Before former President John
son left office he endorsed it.
Lady Bird Johnson endorsed it.

Griffin Daily News Tuesday, April 11,1972
His agriculture secretary, Or
ville Freeman, endorsed it.
President Nixon has endorsed
it, has set up a rural redevelop
ment task force, and has sent
Congress a “rural revenue shar
ing” proposal.
• Despite this lip service, the
Senate committee bill has had
a stormy career. An earlier ver
sion got stalled so badly last
year that the House moved in
to pick up the pieces.
The House Agriculture Com
mittee picked up several Senate
proposals and put them into a
composite bill that the House
recently passed.
Meanwhile, Talmadge created
a new rural development sub
committee and named as its
chairman Sen. Hubert H. Hum
phrey, D-Minn., who added a
live spark to the idea.
Humphrey held field hearings
on the plight of rural America
in Sioux City, Iowa; Vermillion,
S. D.; Montgomery, Ala.; Tif
ton, Ga.; Stillwater, Okla.; Lin
coln, Neb., and Bowling Green,
-Ohio.
But Humphrey then abandon
ed his bill to campaign for pres
ident. Talmadge, Democratic
Sens. Lawton Chiles of Florida,
James Allen of Alabama and
Republican Henry Bellmon, Ok
lahoma, are credited with push
ing it to completion.
Observers in the Agriculture
Department predict it is headed
toward quick Senate passage.
In the necessary adjustments
with the House version that

More Than Others

20b 208 South Hill Sheet
must be made after that, there
may be heavy compromise.
The bill provides for even
more rural bias in various fed
eral aid programs with the agri
culture department calling the
shots.
A big novel feature, devised
in the Senate, is a proposal for
federally sponsored rural credit,
not just for farms, to spurt job
opportunities of all kinds.
One of its most controversial
features is “rural revenue shar
ing.” President Nixon proposed
a sharing program to be offset
by abolishing a number of pres
dent farm aid and regional aid
programs.
The committee bill would step
up the aid to SSOO million, and
keep intact all the programs
that Nixon would abolish.
