Preserve National
Unity, Singleton
Tells Reserviste
^
General Says Spirit Always
Sets Limit on Power of War
Machines.
Columbus, Ga., May 2f>—-In an ad
dress to the 400 members of the
graduating class of the National
Guard and Reserve Officers Friday,
General Asa L. Singleton urged that
they return to their communities anil
zealously guard the cause of national
unity, so necessary in this time of
stress. The men, members of one of
the largest classes ever to graduate
from the Infantry School, completed
a three-month course.
“If we would serve our country
best,” General Singleton told them,
“let us avoid any act or word that
will carry capital, or agriculture
against industry.
Emphasizing that national soli
darity is as important as a depend
able army, navy and air force, Gen.
Singleton urged his audience to cul
tivate a spirit of confidence in the
leaders of government and industry.
Reality, he said, compells the ad
mission that international compacts
no longer are of any avail, and that
force alone has become the dominat
ing factor in determining the desti
nies of people and nations.
He warned that the nation's citi
zenry must recognize that a psy
chological terror is having its effect
all over F/urope today and must res
olutely set itself against any such
development here.
Turning to the new weapons ap
pearing on the battlefields of today
General Singleton said that the hu
man element still remains the most
important factor in combat.
“The spiritual attitude will always
set a limit to the strategical signifi
cance of masses and machines,” he
said. “Daring against caution, en
thusiasm and resolution against
mass and material superiority, soul
versus technique is what holds troops
together gnd is the backbone of at-
tacK and defense.”
W. L. Milh r States
He Will Not Run For
Governor of Georgia
Atlanta, May 27—W. L. Miller,
chairman of the state highway board
Monday announced he would not be
a candidate for governor' this year.
Ever since he was forcibly ejected
from office as chairman of the road
hoard, Miller had beeni mentioned as
a likely candidate for governor. Be
fore he won reinstatement through
l he state supreme court, there had
been, intimations he would take his
case before the voters.
“As 1 have stated to my friends
privately and to the public in radio
addresses and the press, I came to
Atlanta only with the intention of
carrying on a business program in
your highway department, such as
the people had overwhelmingly voted
for,” Miller said.
“Although I deeply appreciate the
confidence of friends throughout the
state who for the past few months
have been urging me to become a
candidate for Governor, I still feel
there is a great need for and an op
portunity for a business administra
tion of the road tax funds o.f our peo
pie on the basis of merit.
“I have been fighting only for a
meritorious, economical and non-po
litical administration in our highway
department, and it has nevor been
my desire to run for governor. I ha ( d
rather he allowed to carry on this
program than to be governor of our
great state.
“Therefore, I will not be a candi
date for governor, but shall continue
to fight for what I think is fair and
right in your highway department.”
