Talmadge Asks Halt To Spending More Than
Georgia's U.S. Senator Her
man E. Talmadge said Tuesday
that the federal government
should be barred by law from
spending more than it receives
in revenues, thus putting a brake
on runaway federal spending and
inflation.
In an interview Senator Tal
madge pointed to federal spend
ing policies which have resulted
in national deficits in 37 of the
past 43 yearsjVnd he blamed
these deficits for inflating the
economy. '
The Senator, an outspoken
critic of federal fiscal poli
cies, said, It’s a long, sad
story . . . and people, wonder
why we have inflation. The
blame lies not only with the
Executive Branch, but the Leg
islative Branch, also. And it’s
a non-partisan issue. We’ve had
unbalanced budgets from the
Republican and Democratic ad
ministrations alike. Iwouldllke
to see a ceiling set on expen
ditures.
In the same interview,
Senator Talmadge also said:
—that he wouldn’t want to
second-guess the President, but
it seemed the time for bombing
North Vietnam was several
years ago rather than when it is
apparent that all U.S. forces
are being withdrawn and the war
is being wound down.
that after talking to thou
sands of Georgians during the
recent Congressional recess,
he felt their major concerns to
include the continuing war,
Inflation, deficit spending,

Sprinkler Demand
In High Rise
Safety Bill
A Georgia high rise build
ing safety act is going to be
introduced in the State Senate.
Senator James Lester of Au
gusta, who was chairman of an
interim committee on fire
safety announced plans for the
bQX-aleng w ith -Senators - Floyd
Hudgins of Columbus and Cul
ver Kidd of Milledgeville.
Senator Lester said the pro
posed fegislatlon will apply to
all future construction of high
rise buildings and give the State
Fire Marshall discretion on en
forcing any new safety regula
tions in existing buildings.
The legislation is a direct
outgrowth of last years tragic
fire which killed several per
sons at a senior citizens' high
rise apartment building in At
lanta.
Some of the bill’s provisions
include requirements for auto
matic sprinkler systems and
fire pontrol centers which will
have an intercom system on
every floor.
The bill defines a high rise
building as any building over
three stories or over fifty feet
in height above grade level.
The bill also gives the State
Fire Marshal the right to go to
court and obtain an Injunction
for buildings which don’t have
proper safety precautions built
in them.
The proposed legislation
spells out in detail in a 12-
page proposal the suggested
changes in high rise fire saf
ety. .The measure is schedu
led to be dropped in the hop
per this week.

The text of Senator Tal
madge’s Interview is as follows:
Senator, you just got back
from spending two and a half
months in Georgia. What do you
think are the principal issues
and concerns in the minds of
Georgians today?
During that period, I visited
virtually every section of
Georgia, urban and rural alike,
and talked with literally thou
sands of people. I found them
concerned about a great variety
of the issues, first and fore
most, I’d say probably the con
Cleveland’s Sen. London
Offers Job Safety Bill
A complete revamping of
Georgia’s laws on job safety
would be the result of a bill
introduced by Senator Maylon
London in the Georgia Senate
Wednesday morning.
The measure was one of seven
proposed by the Cleveland Sen
ator, and if passed, would create
an Occupational Safety and
Health Administration whose
purpose would be to “stimu
late employers and employees
to institute new programs and
to perfect existing programs
for providing safe and healthful
working conditions.”
Another of Senator London’s
proposed measures would pro
vide that workmen’s compensa
tion benefits for total incapacity
be paid for the duration of the
worker’s disability, without any
limitations as to dollar amount
or time, while a third bill would
change the maximum compen
sation for total incapacity un
der workmen’s compensation
from SSO to $75 per week,
and would increase the
maximum total amount that can
be "received from 18,000 to
$28,000.

tinuing war, inflation, deficit
spending, taxes, particularly
local ad valorem taxes, narco
tics, crime, school busing, the
whole gambit of issues that have
been in the news in this country
for the past several years.
During the Congressional ad
journment, bombing in North
Vietnam was resumed and it
reached an all-time high. How
do you feel about the bombing?
I think the president has done
a commendable job reducing
our troops in Southeast Asia
from more than a half a mil
lion to about 30,000 at the pre*
sent time. We were informed
proposed bills deal with judi
cial matters. Senate Bill No. 2
provides that in all criminal
cases the jury will deliver a
verdict of guilty or not guilty,
and after a guilty verdict, the
judge, rather than the jury, will
then hand down a sentence for a
specific length of time, within
the limits prescribed by law.
Senate Bill N 0,4 provides that
examination •of prospective
jurors shall be by the judge,
who may allow the opposing par
ties to question them subject
to the judge’s discretion, while
another proposed measure
would authorize Georgia parole
officials to hold hearings on
whether to recommend reincar
ceration for alleged parole vio
lations committed by persons in
this State who are on parole
from another State.
The other bill introduced by
Senator London would change
from the 20th day of the month
to the last day of the month
the date for filing quarterly in
come tax returns.
Senator Itaaylone ‘‘“London
represents the 50th District,
located in northeast Georgia.
just before the elections last
November, peace was at hand.
Something happened. I don’t
know what. I wouldn’t want to
second-guess the president, but
it seems to me that the time
for bombing was several years
ago, rather than the time when
it’s apparent that we’re with
drawing all of our forces and
winding down the war. I would
hope that these negotia
tions conducted in Paris at the
present time would be success
ful. I would hope that the pres
ident could get our prisoners of
war and withdraw our forces
lock, stock and barrel. It’s long
overdue.
Pressures have been building
in Congress and in public opin
.ion to place controls on federal
spending. You’re on.the Senate
Finance Committee. What would
you like to see done?
I would like to see a ceiling
set on expenditures. It’s along,
sad story. We’ve had unbalanced
budgets in 37 of the past 43
years on the federal level, and
people wonder why we have in
flation. One of the difficulties
is we have about 12 to 15 dif
ferent appropriatiohs bills. I
think what we ought to have is
one appropriation bill. We ought
to get estimates from the best
sources possible as to the
amount of revenue that will be
available for expenditure each
year. And then, we ought to
set a ceiling based on the es
timated revenue. And, it ought
to be written into one appro
priation bill, where we can
balance priorities within that
specific bill rather than dealing
with the issue piecemeal with
some 12 or 15 different appro
priation bills, as we do now.
The blame lies not only with

the executive non-partisan is-
The blame lies not only with
the executive branch, but the
legislative branch also. And,
it’s a non-partisan issue. We’ve
had unbalanced budgets from
the Republican and Democratic
administrations alike. As a
matter of fact, in the first
four years of President Nixon’s
administration, the deficits
alone were well over SIOO bil
lion, which will be the highest
level of any administration, ex
cept Roosevelt’s during the
height of World War 11.
Do you think an appropria
tion bill like this would involve
governmental reorganization?
No, it’s not necessary to
reorganize the Government.
One of the problems is that
First Senate Bill
Gives Renters Break
The first bill introduced in
the Georgia State Senate In 1973
would give renters who pay a
deposit on their house or apart
ment a financial break.
Senator Bill Finher of Chat
sworth (the 54th District) Intro
duced the measure which is
identical to a bill which passed
the Senate last year, but was
never called up in the House.
Senate Bill One would require
all owners of rental property
all revenue-raising measures
must originate in the House.
That’s a constitutional preroga
tive. The representatives in the
House are very jealous that
constitutional prerogative. But,
we ought to operate jointly,
the two appropriations commi
ttees of the House and Sen
ate. They ought to meet jointly,
and they ought to set up a joint
appropriations bill that they can
work out among themselves with
a ceiling limited to the esti
mated revenue that will come
in. That’s the only realistic
way to have a spending ceiling.
You can't appropriate 12 or 15
different appropriations bills
and then have a spending cell
ing. We ought not to delegate
that power to the President
who charge any sort of security
deposit of more than SIOO.OO
to pay interest until the deposit
is refunded.
Other sponsors of the bill
Include Senator E.G. Summers
of LaFayette (the 53rd District)
and Senator Parks Brown of
Hartwell (the 47th District).
