MOST GEORGIA CONGRESSMEN WILL
SIDE-STEP FACTIONAL FIGHT,
Senator Byrd, Virginia, Points Out “Relief”’
For South Lies Not With Republicans
BY A. F. MAHAN, JR.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—(AP)—Many of Georgia’s
congressmen will be conspicuous by their absence from
the Democratic Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner at Atlanta
March 9—unless there is a changing of minds.
And it is conceded within the
delegation that there's about as
much chance of the Stone Moun
tain monument walking off as
there is of a. single member’s
changing his mind.
Reason: The dinper has given
Democratic party factions led by
Gov. M. E. Thompson and former
Gov. Herman Talmadge another
chance to call each other names.
They’ve taken full advantage of it,
as usual.
Thompson’s faction, currently
recognized by the Democratic
National Committee, is sponsoring
the money-raising dinner. Tal
madge’s faction is boycotting it.
No Georgia senator or represen
tative wants to get caught in the
cross-fire.
The courts haven’t finally de
cided which faction will control
the Democratie primary election
machinery, although Talmadge’s
group won the opening round.
To date, only Rep. Camp of
Newnan has accepted an invita
tion to the March 9 rally, sponsors
of the affair said. %
The only state officials who
have indicated they will attend
are State Treasurer George Hamil
ten, ~ Attorney General Eugene
Cook and School Supt. M. D.
Collins.
The dinner originally was, plan
ned for March 5 and Senator Me¢-
Grath (D-RI), chairman of the
Democratic + National Committee
was to be principal speaker.
President Truman’s recommen

resigned, efective June 1. Eaves
has not anounced his future
plans. ;
The new mentor won four foot
ball letters as a Bulldog two ten
nis and two -basketball letters.
He was recognized as one of the
top all-around athletes on the
capus.

dation that anti-poll tax, anti
lynching, anti-segregation and
fair employment practices legisla
tion be enacted got immediate en
dorsement from McGrath.
This brought immediate blagts
from Talmadge, champion of
“white supremacy,’” against Mc-
Grath, Thompson and the dinner.
He said his-~“followers would not
attend. .
Thompson’s faction condemned
the President’s proposals, but an
nounced’ MeGrath still would
speak. Reports circulated here and
in Atlanta that the National chair
man would support the President’s
civil rights program in the Atlanta
speech.
Hill Will Speak
A few days later it was an
nounced the dintier would be held
March 9 and that Senator Hill (D-
Ala) would be principal speaker.
The issues raised by the Presi
dent’s recommendations, despite
the party strife they have caused,
have given Georgia congressmen
an “out” for the Atlanta dinner.
At least one has written,
Thompson leaders he just can’t
possibly afford to leave Washing
ton, with Republican or Democra
tic leaders liable to call up one of
the President’s proposals any day.
The Georgia members were con
spicious by their absence as Nat
ional Democratic leaders feasted
here last night—at SIOO a plate—
at Washington’s Jefferson-Jackson
Day dinner.

Death Of Foreign Aid Goal
Of Certain Solons - Childs
Columnist Says Some Congressmen Would
Turn Plan Into ““Operation Rathole”
BY BILL BURSON
Congressional representatives and senators of the isola
tionist school hope to kill the European Recovery Pro
gram—opopularly known as the Marshall Plan—by turn
ing it into an “Operation Rathole.” This was the somber
warning of Marquis Childs, syndicated Washington col
umnist and author of recent best sellers, in his Friday
morning address before the 20th Annual Georgia Press
Institute.
‘ “This line of attack,” the writer
of international reputation de
clared, “involves cutting the pro
gram down in such a way that it
would be merely a relief act.” This
he interpreted would be only “a
breadline operation” which will
turn both America and Europe
|away from the program and give
| realization to the greatest Soviet
| aim—*“to isolate North America
from the rest of the world and pre
ferably in the midst of a major de
| pression.”
' Concentrating On Details
‘| Such an attempt, Childs pointed
out, would be made despite the
| remarkable shift of American pub
lic opinion in favor of the plan.
Because of this trend, he went on
to say, “They are concentrating on
details in an effort to confuse the
issue.” |
Childs went on to voice his be
lief that this program can be aI
constructive one, if, as he said,
“there is a little common sense in
Washington and a lot of watch
fulness on the part of all Ameri
cans. It can mean the restoration
of world trade on something of the
| basis that we knew before the war.
It can mean nat independent
(Roliticaily andweconomicaily yet
Fworking tegether WHG coopera
tion. Finally it can mean peace
and prosperity out of the choice
that we make this year. In this
Year of Deecision there are those
who talk glibly about peace and
prosperity. But it cannot come out
of glib words. It can only come if

ATHENS SCHOOLS NOT UNLIKE OTHERS, SAYS
BOARD CHAIRMAN RALPH THAXTON AT FORUM
By HOKE SMITH MAY
Athens League of Women Vot
ers last night sponsored a discus
sion forum on the status of local
schools, for the beaefit of interest
ed citizens from the Third and
Fifth Wards. The meeting was
held at Civic Hall.
Five questions of major interest
in the Athens School System were
proposed respectively to Dr. Ralph
Thaxton, chairman, Athens Board
of Education; Hoyt Robertson, city
tax assessor; Clyde Basham, Al

want it sufficiently to will it and
work for it,”” he concluded.
At the present rate of increase
in population and the decrease in
acres of good land, the per capita
figure of three acres of agricul
tural land in the United States
will be reduced to 2.6 acres per
person by 1970. This gloomy pie
ture was painted in an address
Friday morning by J. W, Sargent,
assistant regional conservator,
Soil Conservation Service, Spar
tanburg, S. C.
But as a cheering note, Sargent
reported that Georgia farmers
have made rapid advances in a
conservation program designed to
forestall this eventuality. He quot
ed figures to the effect that in this
state 24 conservation districts,
covering 96.6 per cent of the farm
land, have been established. |
“The last reports I saw from
Georgia,” Sargent stated, “show
that 44,100 farmers have planned
and begun complete farm soil and
water ‘conservation programs on
more than 8,777,313 acres. And
they have applied all the necessary
practices on more than 4,820,000
of those acres.” He pointed out
that 101,202 acres have been put
in kudzu; more than 86,839 acres
in sericea; some 718,864 acres in
‘cover ¢rops, and 50,800 acres put
into profitable production by
proper drainage. He attributed the
success to the co-operation of the
Georgia press in educating far
mers to the value of such prac
tices.

Speaking of Dr. Shinn’s passing,
Dr. Harmon W. Caldwell, Uni

“In th death of Dr. Henry A.
Shinn, the Law School, anq the
University as a whole have suf
fered a grevious loss. Dr. Shinn’s
attainments as a scholar were
cutstanding. Within my recollec
tion the University has had on
its faculty no one who was a
more brilliant and inspiring
teacher. His influence on the Law
School and on its students was
profound. Dr. Shinn’s devotion to
his family and his loyalty to his
{riends were qualities that com
‘manded admiration. In every re-!

Dr. Thaxton first presented a
break-down of the school budget,
both from what sources the funds

“The total school budget for

iUf Year Head-On
By JACK BELL
(AP)—President Truman headed
intc the '1948 campaign today
with a call for the common peo
ple to rally around in battle
against “the privileged fewy".
“This is a year of challenge,”
Mr .Truman told Democratic
party members ‘last night, “I
propose that whe meet that chal
lenge head on.”
In a 30-minute Jefferson-Jac
son Day speech the President
never did refer directly to the
challenge he faces from angry
Southernerg in his own party.
Nor did he mention directly
the threat to Democratic presi
dential chances offered by Hen
ry A. Wallace’s third party.
But he spoke highly of Tho
mas Jefferson’s attacks against
“laws that ' restricted citizen
ship.” and he said the Democrats
party still believes in protecting
. the rights of “all the groups
and individuals in our nation.”
Betore him as he spoke were
