-THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS—WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, I*ll
Blackburn Tells GOPs
Here About His Plans
BY JAY JORDAN
News Editor
Republican gubenatorial
candidate Ben Blackburn
spoke to the Forsyth Repub
lican Party last week about
his efforts to change funding
for the World Bank.
Blackburn, a former four
term U.S. congressman,
headed a committee in Pres
ident Reagan’s transition
team which studied the
World Bank. He said he rec
ommended funding for the
bank be stopped because he
did not believe the United
States should finance social
ism.
Blackburn also said he
hoped to be able to bring the
same perspective he had on
the transition team to the
governor’s office. “There is
a lot of expertise to examine
government if you can just
channel it,” he said. A Re
publican administration
would not be bound by past
friendships and a fear of
rocking the boat. He said he
needed dedicated people to
“look at every agency of the
state government and come
up with fresh recommenda
tions to benefit the State of
Georgia.”
After World War 11, the
World Bank used American
funds to rebuild western Eu
rope and Japan to save them
from a Russian takeover.
But now, Blackburn said,
the World Bank had changed
its philosophy. Now, World
Bank loans go to developing
nations to finance the nation
alization of industry, or for
social projects like the relo
cation of 50,000 people in
Indonesia.
World Bank loans no
longer are made at ex
tremely low interest rates
for specific projects like rail
roads, but for general pro
jects, like helping third
world nations pay their oil
bills.
The bank is trying to bring
about a new economic order,
he said. A main premise of
this is that the industrialized
West has exploited the third
world for many years. Be
cause of that, the developing
nations of Asia and Africa
are poor.
Blackburn contends the
bank is trying “to make
them well again at our ex
pense ... I’m not sympathetic
with that, either,” he said.
Blackburn’s committee
made these recommenda
tions:
The World Bank should
fianace only “economically
viable ” projects that would
pay for themselves.
To finance projects that
are not economically viable
would be a simple transfer of
American wealth overseas
because America is a pri
mary supporter of the bank,
Blackburn said.
Projects that are not
economically viable should
only be financed when there
is an “immediate, identifia
ble advantage” for America,
such as control of a military
base or a mineral resource.
ln the future, the World
Bank should become a pri
vate financial institution
with a reputation of its own
and not one based on the
credit of the major western
governments. The bank
should be forced to compete
in the world financial mar
kets on its own.

Questions after Black
burn’s speech were not so
much on the World Bank, but
on taxes in Georgia.
Generally, Blackburn said
he had not studied taxes
enough to take a position
now, early in the campaign.
He did say the state tax
system should be reviewed.
In response to one ques
tion, he said property taxes
could be used to finance pub
lic education, but there may
be a better way to do it.
Answering another question,
he said government tends to
spend all it gets. Because
inflation pushes taxpayers
into a higher bracket, the
government tends to take a
greater percentage of in
come. Taxpayers like him
self make more money, but

Perfect Attendance
Vance and Tara Wood, children of Tony and Jaunita Wood of
the Chestatee Community, must like school a whole lot
because neither of them has ever missed a day of school.
Vance just completed the sixth grade at Chestateee Elemen
tary and Tara the third grade. Both are the only ones in their
grades to have had perfect attendance since they started
school, according to their mother. For their accomplish
ments, the school presented each of them a certificate during
a recent honors assembly. Probably as much credit for
Vance and Tara’s perfect attendance, though, is to given to
their parents who make sure they are up every morning.
Vance says that during the last two or three years, he’s been
getting up by himself with an alarm, but before that his
mother had to rouse him. He admits he’s been tardy a few
times, but says he always manages to make it. Both Vance
and Tara have set a goal not to miss any days during their 12
years of school. Now that classes have recessed for the
summer, Vance was asked if he’s been sleeping late any
mornings. Mrs. Wood assured that he has been.
4 Charged In Area Thefts
Four Hall County men and
women have been arrested
and charged with burglarz
ing two house boats owned
by Forsyth County residents.
Authorities said the four
were arrested and charged
Wednesday. They were iden
tified as Luis Saldana, 23,
Carolyn Garrett, AKA Caro
lyn Saldana, 17, Denise Mor
gan Gable, 18 and Frankie
Wallace Gable, 18.

get to keep less of it.
The state intangibles tax is
probably more of a nuisance
than a producer of revenue,
Blackburn said to another
questioner. It needs to be
studied along with the rest of
the state enue system.
Another tax question
caused Blackburn to say he
was a libertarian at heart,
that the less government in
terferes in society the better.
But to tax everyone at a
simple percentage of their
gross income and to elimi
nate all deductions might
mean some people who de
duct the interest from their
home payments on their
taxes might not be able to
pay their bills.
Blackburn said he is not
of violation of the Georgia
Controlled Substance Act for
allegedly possessing a small
amount of suspected mari
juana and pills.
Authorities said the four
were charged with burglar-
