Voters Group Hears
Assembly Nominees
By Randall Couch
Representatives Grady Pittard
and Chappelle Matthews and
Senator R. G. Stephens, jr., ap
peared before Clarke County
Women Voters at their regular
| monthly luncheon meeting in Hol
| man Hotel Tuesday &t one o'-
| clock.
Mrs. Annie Griffeth presided.
Mr. Pittard stated that he is
particularly concerned ehout sev
eral crucial issues which face the
next session of General Assembly.
Primary of these, it appears, is
the financing of the Minimum
Foundation Program for Educa
tion in combination witk equali~
zation of educational facilities.
“The equalization of colored
schools must be accomplished,” he
declared.
Ad Valorum
Mr. Pittard advocates collection
of ad valorum tax on the county
level, (At present the state levies
an ad valorum tax.) He states that
he will vote for a sales tax along
with complete tax revision, and
that in the event a sales tax is
necessary, he favors a gross retail
sales tax. A gross tax, according
to Mr. Pittard would eliminate the
necessity for imposing a tax on
most individual items sold, and
would also enable the merchant
to keep a monthly system of book
keeping, thus avoiding a day-to
day check-up on taxes collected on
individual itms sold.
“The things I want to do are
many and varied,” Mr, Pittard
sadi, “but one of my primary in
terests is the University of Geor
gla—the University in Athens and
the entire University System.”
The speaker went on te say that
approximately 30 million dollars
are needed at present to bring the
level of our University System up
par.
Mr, Pittard also declared that
he favors home rule and that he
dislikes the county-unit system;
however, he feels that any at
tempt to overthrow the system as
it now stands would be futile,
Senator-elect R. G. Stephens re
minded members of the voters
_group that he, Mr. Pittard and Mr,
Matthews were appearing on the
program for the fourth time to
gether, He pledged himself to work
closely with the representatives
for the benefit of this county and
section of the state.
“I have two primary concerns,”
he averred. “They are educational
necessities in Georgia and how to
get the money to finance them.”
Tax Setup
Mr. Stepkens outlined briefly
the present tax setup in Georgia,
pointing out that the larger part
of Georgia's present revenue is
derived from sales taxes on a few
items, notable among which are
gasoline, cigarettes and other
forms of tobacco, beer and other
malt beverages and alcoholic bev
erages.
Mr. Stephens further stated that
such a tax system, under which
only certain items are singled out
for taxation, is deplorable. He
plans to vote for a sales tax along
with complete tax revision.
Another startling fact brought
out by Mr. Stephens is that Geor
gia needs almost as much to fi
nance the proposed Minimum
Foundation Program for educa
tion as the state collected in total
revenue last year—sllo,ooo,ooo.
Representative Matthews point
ed out that 40 percent of the state’s
revenue is derived from the gaso
line tax. “This,” he said, “is too
much tax on anything cf a legiti
mate nature.”
Mr. Matthews also revealed that
it has been proposed that 12
scholarships to the medical school
at Augusta be offered by the state
next year. The scholarships, as
proposed, are to be awarded to 12
capable and qualified people,
white or ecolored.
Education, according .to the
speaker, is the answer to every
thing in Georgia. “We must,” he
declared, “have equalized school
facilities, and we must bring about
this equalization in the near fu
ture.”
Needed Improvements
Other needed improvements in
Gieorgia emphasized by Repre
sentative Matthews center in Mill
edgeville Sanitarium, Battey Gen
eral Hospital in Rome, and in the
state’s highway system.
Mr. Matthews requested the aid
of the voters group in the setting
up of the juvenile court system, a
bill having been passed on this
measure. He also stated that the
home rule bill, in his opinion, has
a good chance to pass the legisla
ture and that he plans to vote in
favor of home rule.
Mrs. J. M. Lewis, supervisor of
Red Cross Bandage Workers in
Athens, made a few remarks to
the voters group concerning the
importance of such work. She
announced that her workers are
‘at present engaged in making
bandages for cancer patients and
tommy coats, which are given to
the local hospital. Mrs. Lewis also
requested the group to deaate any
old white shirts (men’'s) to the
Red Cross Unit. These shirts are
remade into hospital tommy coats
and have proved very useful.
Mrs. A. D. Gann is superviser of
this work in Clarke county.

the current decade. ‘
“Even more important is the
fact that Georgia at present pro
duces only a negligible percentage
of the eggs purchased in our cities.
In Atlanta, for example, where
60,000 cases of eggs were bought
in January 1950, Georgia furnished
but 3,600 cases. In May 195%
when Atlanta consumed £O,OO
cases of eggs, Georgia furnished
only 8,000. The same relative con
sumption and source figures ap
ply to all cities in Georgia.
“Markets for fresh graded high
quality Georgia-produced eggs are
unlimited in the state of Georgia
and in the cities of Florida. When
Georgia Eggs, Inc. opened its doors
for business this year, one city,
Miami, Florida, asked for more
eggs per week than were being
produced for markets in all North
east Georgia counties.
“Production of commercial eggs
should be profitable and attractive
to farmers in Northeast Georgia.
No section of the nation is better
adapted to egg production from
the standpoint of climate, topo
graphy, farming systems, and peo
ple. Efficient egg producers make
money. They earn on an average
twice as much as farmers who
devote their efforts solely to the
production of field crops. From
the standpoint of prices, records
compiled by the Bureau of Agri
cultural Economics, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, show that
eggs hold first place among all
food commodities in the percent
age of the consumer’s dollar that
goes to the producer. In the case
of eggs, the farmer gets 73 cents
out of every dollar, whereas the
average for all food products is
but 48 cents.
“While Georgia Eggs, Inc. has
been in existence for only eleven
months, the market possibilities
that it affords have so appealed to
farmers in Northeast Georgia that
an increase of 184,000 pullets
ready to begin laying in the fall
has already been made. With in
creased volume and first-class
marketing services, there is every
reason to believe that Norih Geor
gia can become as outstanding in
commercial egg production as this
section has already become in the
production and marketing of broil
ers. It is said by those who have
~studied the matter most intently
that Georgia is on the way before
the end of the current decade to
building a poultry industry that
- will bring producers $100,000,000
each year.”
Two hundred pounds of fresh
\lobster produce about 36 pounds

NEWRAILROAD
STRIKE THREAT
CHICAGO, July 12—(AP)—The
threat of a strike over the week
end by two big operating railroad
unions appeared eased today as
plans were made for new peace
talks with the carriers.
Federal mediators will renew
attempts on Friday to resolve is
sues in the long wage and hour
dispute between the nation’s rail
roads and the two brotherhoods.
Officials of the two unions, rep
resenting some 225,000 rail work
ers, said they will meet with the
National (Railway) Mediation
Board to “try and bring about
settlement.,” They said the car
riers will be represented at the
sessions.
The unions—the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen and the Order
of Railway Conductors—are legal
ly free to strike after Saturday.
But W. P. Kennedy, president of
the trainmen, said “We won't con~
sider a strike at this time. It will
depend on the attitude of the rail
roads.”
However, he added that “the idea
of a strike hasn’t beeh put aside,
but a strike hag not been put into
effect.”
Announcement of the delay of a
strike followed a two-day meeting
of 250 general chairmen of the two
unions. The chairman formally
rejected a presidential fact-find
ing board’s recommendation in the
dispute. The board had turned
down the unions’ request for a 40
hour work week at 48 hours pay.

remains localized in that part of
the Far East.
It was recalled that more than
a week ago there were reports of
about 200,000 Chinese Communist
troops assembling on the Manchu
rian border with the apparent in
tention of moving to the aid of
the North Korean Army.
There now are reasons to be
lieve that force was only the be
ginning, that the foreign support
for the North Koreans poised to
come to their aid may have be
come much greater,
Strong Belief
Should that be done (and the
belief that it quite possibly may
happen is prevalent in high quar
ters) the scale of war up to now
would become only a preliminary
skirmish between patrols,
So far, battle front reports
reaching Washington, either offi
cial or news dispatches, have
made no mention of Russians be
ing among groups of North Kore
ans captured in the fighting. But
some officials thought such re
ports could be expected at any
time.
Whether or not the “volunteers”
are reaching front lines, Pentagon
officials have discerned substantial
evidence that back behind the
front the North Koreans’ cam
paign is being brain-trusted by
able Russian staff work. The en
emy'’s field work reflects for bet
ter military planning than could
be expected from a people who
for generations had had no Army
even though they fought in other
peoples’ wars.
Moreover, the quality of North
Korean material has been excel
lent—superior tanks, good artillery
well fired. The North Korean air
equipment has been second-line,
but within the last two days there
have been reports of the presence
of Yak 15 jet fighters. These
fighters are old by present stand
ards, but are the first North Korea
jets to appear over the front.

ground fog. Their first shots clip
ped the echoes of a bugle call
which signalled their attack.
The fog shrouded everything but
the flashes of their automatic wea
pons as the Reds swe{pt in.
The Reds were in front, to the
left and right and at the rear.
“Every time you would kill one,
about 20 would come up to take
his place,” said Pvt. Freddy Pick
ens of Columbus, Miss,
Screaming and shouting but
nevertheless attacking with discip
line, the Reds rode into the Ameri
can positions.
“My machinegun was knocked
out,” related Pvt. Robert Reed of
Michigan City, Ind, “A mortar
dropping on my position got my
assistant. my medic and two rifle
men. I got a carbine. That was
shot right out of my hands. I got
an DM-1 rifle. I was moving down
a creek when the M-1 was shot
out of my hands, too.”
Overwhelmed by hordes of
Communist soldiers, the Ameri
cans retreated. Some Gl's estima
ted an entire regiment attacked
them.

troops would be the most helpful.
On the Korean front a U. S.
headquarters spokesman reported
l“particularly intense” action in
the American sector and rising
'Red action on the left flank of
lthe South Korean army sector.
The spokesman said allied air
forces, steadily pounding Com
!munist traffic southward, has held
up enemy traffic movement in the
istrategic area behind Communist
line.
i MacArthur’s ecommunique, is
sued at 11:30 p. m, (8:30 a. m.
EST), said U. S. units are “now
delaying the enemy advance in
positions astride the highway six
miles north of Chochiwon.”
Later dispatches from the bat
tle front sand Chochiwon had been
taken by the Communist forces
and Americans had retreated.
Planned Retreat
Red pressure against South
Korean forces fighting between
Chongju and Umsong northeast of
the main battle area “has resulted
in a planned withdrawal to de
fense Positions along the Pogang
River,” MacArthur said. |
A North Korean force was re-‘
ported to be attempting a crossing
of the Han River at Tanyang,
about 25 air miles east of Chungju.
The Fifth North Korean Division
was reported moving east at Ochi- ‘
ri, nine miles west of Tanyang and ‘
south of the Han River. It appar
ently was seeking to outflank‘
South Korea’s Eighth Division.
The Communique said the Fifth ‘
North Korean Division now holds‘
Chungju “as elements of that unit
are probing south towards the po
sitions of the Sixth republic of Ko~
rea division on the vital highway
to Hamchang and Kumchon, 10
miles south.
The communique said elements
of the 15th North Korean Division_
are reported moving east to join
forces with the Reds’ Fifth Divis
ion at Chungju. It added:
“Enemy advances in this sector
have been halted by terrain fa
vorable to the defense forces.”
East Quiet
No major developments were
reported along the east coast. ‘
Naval forces struck enemy in
stallations at Yangyang on the
east coast, MacArthur said.
U. S. Fifth Air Force light bom
bers supported ground troops and
struck bridges mear Ansong while
fighters ranged wide over the bat
tle area on strafing missions.
B-29s attacked enemy ware
houses, marshalling yards and roll
ing stock. Unnamed targets were
reported left in flames.
Australian Mustang fighters,
using a South Korean base to re
fuel and rearm, turned in their
best performance of the war. They
accounted for eight tanks and five
trucks while striking at enemy
targets in excellent weather, the
communique said. |
All the Australian planes re
turned safely. |
Frontline dispatches said the
American troops retreated to new, |
prepared positions behind the im
portant Kum River.

no moral obligation {o furnish fire
protection for the county and it
was hoped in the near future, the
county could furnish men and
equipment{ to work jointly with
the city fire department to solve
this problem.” .
The funds for salaries of the ad
ditional men, not being in the fire
department’s budget, will come
from the Mayor and Ccuncil’s
special fund.
Present at the dedication Mon
day will be members of Mayor and
Council, Civil Service Ccmmission
and many firemen along with lo
cal citizens.
At last night’s meeting J. G.
Beacham, city engineer, was
praised by Mayor Jack R. Wells
for his work in construction of the
new fire station.
Seagraves Proposal
Also at the meeting, Cocuncilman
H. L. Seagraves asked that busi
nesses selling beer and wine along
with other products be made to
close on Sunday as are the saloons
which sell beer and wine ex
clusively.
He said under present city- or
dinance the sale of beer and wine
between midnight Saturday and
6 a. m. Monday is prohibited; how
ever, he added that some busi
nesses selling beer and wine “un
der camouflage of other products”
tend to disregard the Sabbath Day
and the city’s limited police force
cannot be expected to keep an
extremely close check on this mat
ter. If all places selling beer and
wine were closed on Sunday then
there could be no sale of the bev
erages from businesses that day,
he added.
This matter was referred to the
Finance committee for study and
recommendation. |
Permit Denied
Council denied issuance of a
permit to sell retail beer and wine
at Prince Avenue Soda Company
after a recommendation for such
action was received from the Fi
nance Committee.
Councilman Kenneth Guest op
posed the denial because he said
by this action the company “is
being diseriminated against.” He
said the owner has a good repu
tation, and permits have been is
sued to other people whe, in his
opinion, do not have as good rep
utations. He said the owner is a
lawful man,
Councilman H, L. Seagraves
said the committee received a pe
tition from 108 people in that
section asking the permit be de-
A Always 6 Hours Fresher. Benson's Bread |
‘ Is The Finest Bread Money (an Buy.
‘nied. Councilman R, W, Phillips
‘added that he does not think this
‘area is the proper vicinity to sell
‘beer and wine and he does not
think the people living nearby
desire the sale of beer and wine
at the Prince Avenue Soda Com
pany.
After Council had voted the
denial, Mayor Wells said a per
son does not have a right to a
beer and wine permit, but it is a
privilege granted by Mayor and
Council., He added tkat because
a permit is not granted it does not
necessarily mean an owner has a
bad reputation.
Mayor and Council voted for
condemnation proceedings tc he
started for the city to secure nu,-
essary property on Pulaski street
between Reese and Broad for iba
widening of Pulaski.
Important recommendations of
the Public Works Osmmittee
passed: (1) Nems & Mimosa
Lane and Eberhart street chang
ed to Willow Run avenue; (2)
Sewer line be installed in proper
sequence on East Rutherford
street; (3) Water line be install
ed in proper sequence on old
Broad street from Holman ave
nue to the Alps Road; sidewalk

tween Thomas and Jackson
streets be paved.
Council voted to renovate the
old mattresses or buy 39 new
ones for the Stockade on recom
mendation of the Stockade Com
mittee.

request that a study be nrade of I
the “»ad traffic situation on Pope
stipt from Hill street north to
Prince avenue.” (He said this is
a narrow one-block street and
suggested it be made one-way.)
Matters referred to Finance

Hawkins, speaking for the Ma
sonic bodies in Athens, that the
city not charge taxes on the Ma
sonic Temple property on Meigs
street, as the organization is non
profit.
Matters referred to Police De

sary noise made by trucks and
other vehicles in the city, and
especially in the vicinity of the
Holman Hotel, from where com=-
plaints have been brought; cut
ting on traffic lights at intersec
tion of Lumpkin and Baxter

The United States Office of
Education estimates that there are
some four million children in the
United States of school age, who,
because their educational require

specially prepared to cope with
their problems. Handicapped
children in the Athens and Clarke

cording to plans being made by
the Athens Cerebral Palsy Society.
A diagnostic clinic, to examine

estly solicits his cooperation.
“It is the responsibility of each
veteran leaving training,” Owen
said, “to notify the VA Regional
Office that he has quit training. If
he accepts subsistence payments
for any days he was not in train
ing he may be creating much trou
ble for himself by keeping the
overpayment.”
When a veteran receives a sub
sistence check covering any period
of time for which he was not en
titled to subsistence he should im
mediately return such check to
the VA, Owen added.
Veterans who are attending in
stitutions of higher learning were
requested to be prompt in report
ing withdrawal from a unit sub
ject. If this is not done the vet
eran, by withholding such in
formation from the VA about his
reduced work-load, will be re
sponsible for creating an over
payment by continuing to receive
full time subsistence allowance
when entitled to only three quar
ter time subsistence allowance.
“A good motto for veterans to
remember is: Don’t delay to notify
the VA,” Owen concluded.
