Blakely. Ga., Augutt 1, 1946.
The News is of the opinion
that the voters of Georgia
made a wise selection in nam
ing M. E. Thompson lieutenant
governor. Mr. Thompson de
feated five well-known and
able Georgians in the recent
primary.
-o
Former Governor Talmadge
received 242 county unit votes
to 146 for James V. Carmich
ael, although the latter re
ceived over sixteen thousand
votes more than the former.
Lacking many thousands of
votes of receiving a majority
of the votes cast in the pri
mary, Mr. Talmadge should
accept the victory in a humble
manner rather than take it as
a mandate from the people
to again inaugurate a one-man
government in Georgia.
-o
Congress has passed a new
OPA law, establishing control
over certain items, including bill
rents. Whether the new
will be able to roll back prices
on certain items to their June
30 level remains to be seen.
The prices of many items, par
ticularly foods and feedstuff's,
have soared to an all-time
following the death of OPA
on June 30, and we now have
inflation with us, as the man
of small means has already
discovered, thanks to a recal
citrant Congress which has
yielded to pressure groups in
a manner that adds nothing
to the public confidence in
that body.

FAILED TO “GET” ROOSEVELT
The Congressional Pearl Harbor
Committee that was named months
ago to learn the lowdown on the
miserable failure we made at Pearl
Harbor when attacked by thee Japa
nese, has finally made its report.
One of the first things we found
out about this investigation was that
it was a political investigation. It
had two objectives. In the first
place, the friends of General Short
and Admiral Kimmel objected to
these two men being made the goats
ns had been done in a former inves
tigation. They wanted to find
somebody to share the responsibi
bility for the top men of the army
and navy at Honolulu. The next
objective was the desire on the part
of the Roosevelt haters in Congress and
to fix responsibility for the war
for the fiasco at Pearl Harbor on
the Roosevelt administration and
upon Franklin D. Roosevelt person
ally.
The investigation soon degener
ated cans into an effort to find Republi
who would testifv against the his
president and the members of
cabinet. Many weeks were spent
looking into more or less fictitous
evidence with a desire to find some
thing that would show that respon
sibility should be placed upon the
president and his cabinet members.
They finally wore themselves this out
and wore the country out with
futile search for something to smear
the Democratic leaders. The eight
members of the committee went
through a cooling off period before
they made their report and that even
then did not all agree on re
port. Six of them agreed to find
that no responsibility for the war
or for the tragedy of Pearl Harbor
rested upon President Roosevelt
the members of his cabinet. Two
of the most bitter Roosevelt haters
refused to the end to go along with
this finding. They filed a minority
report an which they charged the
president and the cabinet with
the things they had in mind
rhey began, and in the face of the
fact that they failed to develop
proof by the investigation.—Moul
trie Observer.
