THE TALMADGE VICTORY CAN
SERVE GEORGIA WELL
1t is now definite and official
that Governor Herman Tal
madge will be Governor of
Georgia for a full term of four
years.
His election was assured when
last Wednesday he defeated for
mer Governor M. E. Thompson
in the State Democratic Pri
mary.
Governor Talmadge received
a majority of county unit votes
as well as the largest number of
popular votes. .
The total popular vote for
Governor was in the neighbor
hood of one hundred thousand
votes less than two years ago
when the two principal candi
dates in this campaign also con
tested for the nomrination,
Clerke county gave its unit
votes to Mr. Thompson. who
received a smaller proportion of
the votes for Governor this year
than he did two years ago
while, at the same time, Gover=
nor Talmadge’s proportion of the
votes for Governor was larger
than he received two years ago
in Clarke county.
About eight hundred persons
who voted in the 1948 Primary
for Governor did not vote in
Wednesday’s Primary in Clarke
county,
Due to the reduction in the
total vote and the changing
over, Mr. Thompson showed an
over-all loss of nine hundred
and forty-eight (948) votes over
1948, While Governor Talmadge
showed an over-all loss of two
hundred and eleven (211) votes
over 1948,
In 1948 Mr. Thompson re
ceived 4,185 and Mr. Talmadge
got 2,376 out of 6,748 votes cast
in Clarke county for Governor.
This year Mr. Thompson got
3237 and Governor Talmadge
received 2,162 out of 5,968 votes
cast by Clarke countians in that
race, y
The figures show that Mr.
Thompson received a larger
percentage of the vote they di
vided between themselves in
1548 than he did this year, Gov
ernor Talmadge receiving a lar
ger percentage of that vote this
year than he did two years ago.
There were persons who
changed their votes as between
the two candidates since the last
election but Governor Talmadge
unquestionably showed a net
gain of strength in this county.
The total number of votes cast
for Governor by the negro vot
ers in Clarke county this year
was less than it was two years
ago,
In fact, there has been a fall

U. S. Action in Korea C
. "
May Be Landmark so Peace
The United States, acting under President Tru
man’s orders, is moving with high courage and
treat good sense to answer the brazen challenge
ilung in Korea by the Soviet Union.
This was & moment of grave import for the
Whole free world, It was a moment that recalled tbe
fatal milestonas. leading to war in the 1930s—Hit
ler's march into the German Rhineland, Mus_SO
lini’s strike against Ethiopia, the Japanese invasion
of Manchuria,
Acting with the support and concurrence of the
United Nations, Mr, Truman boldly demonstrated
that freedom-loving peoples have indeed learned
the brutal lessons of the 19305.
Spineless appeasement of aggressors only em
boldens them to strike harder and harder. Each
time it ig more difficult to halt then, until finally
only global conflict can crush their ruthless ambi
tions, The time to stop an aggressor is the first
time, and this we and our {friends abroad are
clearly regolved to do. .
Mr, Truman ordered our Navy and Air Force to
the #d of South Korea, He insisted that our mili
tary effort be strictly defensive, that there be no
Yiack on the territory of the invading North Ko
féans, No Russian clamor that this is “American
Ycression” will likely impress the world.
The United Nations, itselt under its greatest test,
Voted couragecusly 10 impose military sanctions
;Eainet the aggressor, The action is unprecedented,
but 4 4g supremely worthy of the UN’s purpose to
Proserve worlq peace,
hfimmown,couphdm our announced in
%at so protect Formosa, the Philippines and Indo
hima with varying degrees of assistance, there 1s
"ore than the learning of old Jessons.
At one brilltent stroke we are showing Asia, Eu
"Pe and the whole wosld that the United States
ing off in the negro vote since
1946 when about fifteen hun
dred negroes voted for James V.
Carmichael against the late Eu~
gene Talmadge.
Two years ago the vote of
négro citizens dropped to about
half what it was in 1946 and
this year it was about one-third
the vote cast in 1946.
Of the votes cast by the negro
voters this year in the Gover
nor’s race, Governor Talmadge
received seventeen. That, of it
self, is interesting but the sig
nificant fact is that the bulk of
the registered negro voters ap
parently are not worried over
their fate wunder a Talmadge
Administration; at least, not
worried enough to go to the polls
sand vote against Talmadge in
Clarke county. They did not
bother to vote.
It may be that the negroes
feel that the program Governor
Talmadge advocates, and which
he alone of the candidates has
the best chance to carry out, will
benefit the negroes by giving
them better public services and
opportunities for advancement
and that since, after all, that is
their chief objective, there is no
point to their flocking to the
polls just to vote against Tal
madge.
It is indicated that in the
future those negroes who do
vote will be more concerned with
the ability and intention of the
candidates to help them im
prove their economic status by
proyiding them with adequate
schools and similar public serv
ices than by political factors. At
any rate, that would seem to be
the most constructive course
from the standpoint of the wel
fare of their race for them to
follow in the future.
It*is strongly indicated Clarke
county was in this election
year not unlike other counties
which in the past have been
found in and out of the Tal=
madge column and that the in
cumbent Governor either won
or lost by close votes.
We do not believe that Clarke
gounty can now rightfully be
classified as an “anti-Talmadge”
county or that it can be counted
on to vote automatically against
Talmadge regardless of other
factors.
There were too many voters
last Wednesday who cast their
ballots for the first time for
Talmadge, doing so for the rea
son that they have been con
vinced that he wants to serve
the State, that he wants to help
the University and that he wants
means what it says when it speaks for freedom and
peace. We are showing that we do not let our
friends down in time of need. This demonstration
already is having a tonic effect everywhere on the
globe.
Moreover, we have vastly improved our strategic
stiuation in the Far East by drawing Formosa back
into our defensive network. We have added one
more fort—a vital one—to our Pacific defense line.
Neither President Truman nor anyone else cog
nizant of the realities would deny that there is risk
of war with Russia in the course we have chosen.
No one doubts the Soviet Union ordered North
Koreans to a'‘ack, since their government is a su
pine puppet of Moscow’s.
But it is the considered judgment of our top mil
itary and diplomatic experts that Russia does not
want another war, at least not now. That convic
tion unquestionably entered into our decision to
act firmly, and also to approach Russia directly in
an appeal torher leaders to call off the Korean of
fensive.
But even had we felt the chance of war was
greater, we still would have had to make this ganr
ble. For war is not halted by encouraging an ag
gressor, It can only be prevented by the concerted
demonstration of peace-loving peoples that aggres
sion can succeed.
Mr. Truman’s decision is historic. It may prove
to be one of the great landmarks in the cause of
world peace.

to help Clarke county, for it to
be-assumed that this is now ir
revocably “anti-Talmadge” ter
ritory.
After all, Greene county,
more oiten for Talmadge than
not, went against him this year
by a smalli margin and in other
counties where previously he
had an easy time, the vote was
close.
We supported the re-nomina=
tion of Governor Talmadge upon
the basis of our firm conviction
that he alone of the candidates
can best serve the State at this
time. ‘
Now that Governor Talmadge
is elected we, of course, are glad
because we feel that he will
give our State a constructive
administration,
We have reason to believe
that the Governor has a genu
ine love for the University and
that he will continue to show a
constructive and active interest
in its development.
We have reason to believe
too, that large numbers of the
friends of the University cast
their vote for Governor Tal
madge under the impulse of a
similar conviction. We think he
will live up to their expecta
tions of him.
As has often been pointed out
during the camrpaign, and prior
to it, the great need in Georgia
today is to find a means of fi
nancing the expansion and im
provement of vital public serv
ices such as schools and health
facilities.
The people want the Legisla
ture and the Governor to find
the way to adequately finance
these necessary functions of our
State government. All candidates
advocated it. The Legislature
seems overwhelmingly for it,
The Governor and the Legis-~
lature are faced with a great, if
not an unprecedented opportu=
nity to serve the State in a his
toric sense by doing this neces
sary job. We believe they will
not fail.
Clarke county is sending to
the Legislature in Robert G,
Stephens, jr.,, Senator-elect;
Chappelle Matthews and Grady
C. Pittard, jr., Representatives
elect, three of its finest and most
capable young citizens. Others
there are, of course, who could
serve as well and as conscien
tiously. We believe these three
will cooperate whole-heartedly
with the Governor, and his Ad
ministration, in making the next
four years the most fruitful,
from the standpoint of the peo
ple’s welfare, in the long history
of the Commonwealth.

Der Bingle's Ears Will Redden
When Brother Bob Swings Out
BY ERSKINE JOHNSON
NEA Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, — (NEA) — Ex
clusively Yours: Bing Crosby is
due for the ribbing of his life in
a novelty song which his brother
Bob will feature in a personal
appearance act which debuts at
the Fox Theater in Detroit.
Bob will croon “Let's Make
Comparison’s” to a life-size, atro
ciously dressed S7OO rubber dum
my of Bing. The Sammy Cahn
lyrics rib the Groaner about his
clothes, his money, his toupee and
his stomach. 7
. It’s all for fun with Bob laugh
ing:
“I'm-getting even for all the
ribbing I've taken fronr Bing. Like
the first time I asked him how to
sing and he replied, ‘Keep your
nose clean, son’.”

“Maximum load—3oo.”
