Instifute For
Leadership Goes
Info Second Day
Georgia’s community leaders
were challenged here last night to
drop the power traditionally asso
riated with leadership and become
more democratic.
Dr. Robert L. Sutherland, direc
tor of the Hogg Foundation at the
University of Texas,” made the
challenge at the opening session
of the fourth annual Leadership
Institute at the University of
Georgia. -Civie leaders through
out the state are attending the
conference,
“The new democratic leader lis
one who understands the needs of
his community,” Dr. Sutherland
said. “He stimulates other to be
interested and gives opportunities
to work and - receive credit for
achievement. As they acquire
leadership ability he withdraws to
the sidelines.
“Is Priceless”
“Such leadership is rare, bus it
1s priceless when found,” he con
tinued.
Dr. Sutherland contrasted the
democratic leader with the old
concent of a leader who dominat
ed, who managed people, and who
controlled situations.
Pomting out that the mere de
sire for local autonomy and pro
gress is not enough, Dr. Suther
land said that leaders with new
skills must constantly be discov
ered and developed.
“Communities as a whole pro
gress better when numbers of
veople share in democratic de
cisions and in the solution of so
cial, economic, and educational
problems.” ¢ -
Praises Institute
Dr. Sutherland praised the
Institute for the national recogni
tion it has received for encourag
ing Georgia people to find better
ways of living in their own home
towns.
Following his address a panel
gnl “Operations Education” was
eld.
The Institute will continue to
night in the Fine Arts Auditorium,
with an address and a panel dis
cussion on the state’s library
needs. Mrs. Greichen Knief

The measure is & major part of
the administration program, It
would add about 10,000,000 per
sons to the 35,000,000 now covered
and would liberalize requirements
for qualifying for benefits.
Before final action is taken by
Congress, differences between the
Senate bill and a similar bill pass
ed by the House last year will
have to be ironed out by a con
ference committee.
Many thorny questions remain
to be settled. One of the sharpest
issues in dispute is whether to
provide for disabled persons in the
social security program. The
House bill would do this but not
the Senate measure.
Other key differences that will
have to be thrashed out by the
conference committee include ben
efit formulas, tax rates, eligibility
requirements and federal contri
butions for public assistance (di
rect relief).
Even as the Senate passed the
bill, with only Senators Butler
(R-Neb) and Cain (R-Wash) vot
ing against it, steps were taken
toward further and possibly more
fundamental changes in the so
cial security system.
Study Ordered
Without dissent, the Senate di
rected its finance committee to
make a thorough study of the
whole program. It will especieiiy
study the possibilities of shifting
to a system of universal coverage
finances on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Also to be embraced in the
study is the relationship of the
social security system to private
pension plans.
Senator Taft of Ohio, the Re
publican pelicy chief in the Sen
ate, said ix a statement after the
bill passes that he favored devel
opment of a system “under which
old age pensions would be paid to
all persons over 65 on & pay-as
you-go basis.”
Benefits under the present old
age retirement program are paid
from a trust fund built up by a
‘payroll tax on employers and em
ployes to person who have become
eligible through contributions
while in covered employment.
Benefit Boost
As the bill was passed by the
Senate, it would increase monthly
benefits an average of 85 to 90
percent for current beneficiaries
under the old-age and survivors
insurance system. "
For those retiring in the future,
a new benefit formula would ap
proximately double the benefits
provided by present law.
The present payroll tax of 1 1-2
per cent each on employer and
employe would be continued uptil
1956. Then it would rise gradual
ly to 3 1-4 per cent on employer
and employe alike in 197¢ and
thereafter. - 5 ¢
Taxes would be collected on in
dividual earnings up to $3,600 a
year, instead of $3,000 as at pres
ent. The higher figure was written
into the bill yesterday and con
forms to the provision in the
House bill. This means that a man
making as much as $3,600 a year
will be taxed $54 a year instead of
the $45 he has been paying on his
first $3,000 of pay.
This was the principal amend
ment adopted by the Senate. The
effect would be not only to in
crease tax collections but also to
boost the maximum pension under
the bill to SBO a month. '
Under present law the maxi
mum is $56 and the average ben

Driver Course
To Be Offered
At3Colleges
Driver education courses will be
offered next year in the College
of Education at the University of
Georgia and three other colleges
in the state — West Georgia,
GSCW and Georgia Teachers Coi

Announcement of the installa
tion of the new courses was made
yesterday by Mrs. Mary Dan Cole
man, supervisor of Safety Edu
cation for the Georgia Department
of Education, at the seminar being
held on the University campus
this week.
The University courses will be
for students studying to become
teachers in high schools. In this
way the driver education program
can be taught future teachers
while they are in college rather
than have current teachers take
special courses and attend sem
inars.
Largest Class
The largest driver education
class ever held in Georgia is in
session this week here. It opened
Monday and continues through
Friday with a traffic survey here
scheduled during the week.
High school teachers from about
30 Georgia counties are attending
the class. A regional college safe
driving seminar is being held for
teachers from four southeastern
states. The two classes meet to
gether for wvarious sessions.
The 56 attending high school
and college teachers hear lectures
and talks on the subject, see films,
take traffic surveys, get actual
training in instructional work and
develop the many .phases of the
training -program.
Mr. Merland Strasser and Dr.
Herbert J. Stock, of the Center for
Safety Education of New York
University are instructors.
Also aiding in the instruction

ANGER, DELIGHT AND CONFUSION
Surprise Move Shocks Ohio Voters
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 21.—(AP)—A lot of
Ohio’s voters were in an awful state of mind to
day, although the November election is nearly
five months away.
There was anguish, anger, delight and con=-
fusion,
This condition followed Democratic Governor
Frank J. Lausche’s unprecedented statement that
he hadn’t .decided whom to support for U, S.
senator:
His party's nominee, Joseph T. Ferguson, or
Republican Robert A. Taft.
He likes Ferguson as a state auditor, he said,
but admires Taft “for his seriousness and forth
rightness” as a U. S. senator.
This political heresy, voiced by the titular
leader of Ohio Democrats (who is normally ex
pected to point the way for the party members),
did this:
It caused moans of anguish among the party
faithful and friends of Ferguson, state auditor
for 14 years. :
It stii’red indignation among labor leaders de-

~ PLANE CRASHES AUTO AND WRECKS BESIDE CHURCH
Piled up beside the Presbyterian
Church at Crossnore, N. C,, is the wreck
age of a private plane which erashed just
as the congregation was leaving service.
The falling ship hit an automobile parked
beside the church and wrecked it. The
pilot, Winifred “Wimpy” Holloway, suf
Instead battle lines formed over
a test on President Truman’s di
rective to end negro segregation
in the armed services.
The issue was raised through l 1
proposal by Senator Russell (D~
Ga.)—already approved by a ma
jority of the Senate Armed Serv
ices Committee—to give every fu
ture enli?teo (;:g dratgee the rlgt;:
to serve in units made up-only
‘pavions “of his race”
Democratic Leader Lucas (Iil.)
told a reporter he is confident
there are enough votes “to kill
this.” He asked the Senate to
work overtime in a night session
tonight if necessary to complete
action.
Lucas probably would settle for
and agreement to vote sometime
tomorrow.
Russell, who insists his proposal
is a “true civil rights measure be
cause it protects our traditional
right of the individual to select
his associates.” made no claims as
to final Senate action.
Lucas disagreed completely
with Russell about the amend
ment saying “Anyone who is for
the civil rights program will be
against this.”
Senator Saltonstall (R.-Mass.),
deputy GOP floor leader, agreed
with Lucas saying the Russell
amendment “would be a step
backward.”
He referred to President Tru
man’s executive order that “there
shall be equality of treatment and
opportunity for all persons in the
armed services without regard to
race, color, religion or national
origin.” 3
Saltonstall ' said that all the
armed services have been moving
in that direction and “it is work
ing well and making headway.”
Other Republican leaders, in
cluding Senators Wherry (R.-
Neb.) and Taft (R.-Ohio), refused
to say how they will vote on the
Russell proposal or what the out=
come would be.
The nearness of the draft dead
line offered a wide open chance
for a filbuster but Lucas said he
did not expect one to develop from
either side.
AUTO FIRE
Firemen went to Hancock av
enue early yesterday afternoon
where there was an automobile
afire. Little damage resulted.
It delighted the Republicans, who appreciated
any help in their efforts to re-elect Taft Novem=

It confused mrany of plain voters who wondered
if Lausche was sincere or was just pulling a po
litical stunt.
There appeared some agreement on one aspect
of Lausche’s statement, issued at the conference
of governors in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.:
It was a brave move. And it could be the bold
est political gamble undertaken in recent years
in a state noted for shrewd politicians.
Whatever Lausche’s motives, many voters
found it difficult to quarrel with this portion of
his statement:
“I will vote, when I determine the issues, for
the candidate I believe will serve the mnation
best. . . . I will not allow my party interest to
overcome my interest in my country.”
The Democratic National Chairnmran, William
M. Boyle, jr., agreed “any official has the right
to vote for anyone he wants.” .

statement, and commented: 3
