C . C. Black will become vice
president and executive editor of
the Savannah News-Press July 1,
publisher Alva Chapman, Jr., has
announced. Black is now execu
tive editor of the Nashville Ten
nesseean.
The jury has found Clayton
County Ordinary Frank Adamson
guilty of embezzlement and fixed
the sentence at two to four years
with a recommendation that the
offense be treated as a misde
meanor.
A SECOND LOOK at the Cul
tural Exchanges Agreement sign
ed last year between the United
States and the Soviet Union raises
a serious question as to whether
this country has thereby fallen
into a Russian propaganda trap.
Cultural ex
changes be
tween nations
which are un
dertaken in
good faith and
which reach
the rank-and-
file of the citi
zenry of both
countries can be productive of
international understanding and
good will and should be en
couraged. Such desired results
cannot be achieved, however,
when one of the participating na
tions approaches such exchanges
with a view toward obtaining par
tisan advantage from them and,
from the record of the past, there
is no reason to believe that the
Russians look upon them as any
thing but a one-way street.
* * *
AT ITS RECENT winter meet
ing the American Bar Associa
tion, in adopting the report of its
Special Committee on Communist
Tactics, Strategy and Objectives,
called attention to the fact that
Soviet Premier Khrushchev in
1956 listed cultural and business
exchanges as “one of those de
velopments which will bring about
the growing weakness of the
United States and advance world
socialism.” The lawyers concluded
from the evidence presented that
■“the primary activity of every one
of Moscow’s cultural delegates
while in this country is to pro-
! mote the Communist world revo
lution.”
Therefore, it is quite obvious
that the Russians see the Cultural
Exchanges Agreement as an op
portunity to send their espionage
agents into this country posing as
artists, dancers, scientists, farm
ers and the like and to open the
doors of America’s theaters and
homes to Communist propaganda
movies and television and radio
programs. Furthermore, they ex
pect to reap a bountiful harvest
of publicity through the United
States’ free news media while, at
the same time, using their tight
control over all avenues of infor
mation within the Soviet Union
to suppress or distort news about
the American counterparts in the
program of exchanges.
A case in point is the manner
in which Radio Moscow and the
official Soviet newspaper, Pravda,
already are denouncing and be
littling the American Cultural Ex
hibit to be shown this summer in
Moscow’s Sokolniki Park at a cost
of $3,600,000 to the American tax
payers.
* * *
CULTURE TO US in the United
States means “enlightenment and
refinement,” but to the dictators
of the Kremlin it means only “pro
duction and propaganda.” Thus,
from the standpoint of definition
alone, it is impossible to have a
meaningful agreement on cultural
exchanges with the Soviet Union.
The term of the present two-
year agreement expires next Jan
uary and it is to be hoped that
the President, after serious second
thought, will heed the admonition
of Robert B. Pitkin, Managing
Editor of the American Legion
Magazine, that “no true exchange
of culture is possible in the rela
tions of the Soviet Union with any
country” and refuse to jeopardize
further the security of this coun
try through any extension of this
“Trojan-Horse” Agreement.

UPSON PAVING PROJECT
BEGAN LAST WEEK
Thomaston, Ga. — Paving has
begun on Thomaston’s new ex

was put down on a short strip in
front of the Community Building.
Generally, every man is required
to register under the draft law
within five days of his 18th birth
day. He may register at any local
board office, but he should be cer
tain to give his home address, for
that will determine the local
board which will always have his
records and which will deal with
his case.
If a man is on active duly with
the armed forces on his 18th birth
day, he need not register at that
time. Men on active duty must
register within 30 days after they
leave the service.

also register within six months
after entering the U.S.A. or at the
age of 18, whichever is later.

empt from registration, must, how
ever register when his status
changes.

to comply with other provisions of
the law, may subject men to prose
cution, or to induction out of turn
and ahead of other men.
After he registers, each man is
required by law to keep his local
board informed of any change in
his address, or any change in his
personal situation which might af
