pass the buck. Blame the otherl
(ollow. With a little Bible in one |
ket and a pint of liquor in the |
ter for the night drinking, what !
sood is the Sunday angel and the
cek day devil, except: for the
od contacts to his private gains
1 his business for him.
When it takes five cases of li
quor to supply one little private
Athens club for just one ordinary
seekend, how much does it take
{0 sunply our whole little town
th dozens of the private clubs
among us.
Who gets the revenue? Our fed
oral government puts their O. K.
and approval on the best of it.
The first streets ever paved in
Athens, Georgia was paid for by
logalized local government liquor
revenues.
Hoy many streets have been
paved in Athens by bootléggers?
Haygood hates liquor with the
<ame passion that these night
drinkers love it.
A city and a county owned and
managed group of liquor stores
hut entirely separate from our
present crowd because they have
already proved their weaknesses,
will improve our home town 100
per cent and reduce taxes, I will
safely say 1-2 in two years.
At present we are fattening the
hootlegger until he and his cus
{omers almost control us and our
taxes are made higher by incom
petent law enforcement which is.
impossible with the surrounding
counties wet. :
A $25.00 drunk fine for the first
offender, $300.00 drunk driving
first time, a graduated upward
<eale with an automatic stockade
road time sentence will easily run
this town, with legal liquor stores.

Jersev, Texas and Maine.
With no golden flow' of doilars
from sales or income taxes, what
are these five state governments
using for money? All collect gas
oline taxes and auto license fees;
all elamp a tax on alcoholic drinks
and tobacco. Texas has a very spe
cial tax, a so-called “severance
tax” on natural resources, imposed
on every barrel of oil, every cubic
foot of natural gas, extracted from
the hallowed soil of the lone star
state. Last year it brought in a
cool $102,700,000.

on the western front were cut to
pieces by one artillery hombard

Red Build-Up
Correspondent Randolph said

He said the unbroken United
'Nations advance that began Jan.
%5 had not diminished the possi
bility of a giant Red counter
stroke. Randolph said the Chinese
reportedly had 3,000 Russian-sup
plied planes ready “at zirfields to
bolster their push.
The Reds continued their ground
buildup at a fast pace. Allied
‘planes spotted and attacked 1,600
vehicles behind Communist lines
Wednesday night. An average of
1,700 vehicles have heen spotted
nightly moving on the North Ko
rean road network.
Commie Casualties
Allied forces killed oy wounded
1,490 Reds in ground action Wed
nesday. That boosted to 200,000 or
more the total Red ground cas
ualties since the Allied offensive
began Jan. 25.

A two-vehicle accident occurred
- on the Watkinsville Road yester
day afternoon, but no one was in
jured. A lumber truck, driven by
Robert Callaway, Athens, colored,

iavoid hitting a car “driven by

of the falling lumber damaged the

HONESTY LEADS VIRTUES
KANSAS CITY— (AP) —Hon
esty leads as the top virtue in a
poll taken among 5,000 Americans.
This word comes from Dr. Russell
V. Delong, Dean of the Nazarene
Theological Seminary here. He set
out three years ago to find out
what Americans in all age and
class groups regarded as the lead
ing character traits.
Honesty led the list. Then fol
lowed in this order: Dependability,
courage, sincerity, unselfishness,
humility and forgiveness. The
next seven were purity, reverence,
faithfulness, self-control, loyality,
patience and ambition.
His questionnaires listing 61
cter traits, were sent to ed
ucators, prominent businessmen,
congressmen, athdetic coaches, ser
vice and civic club leaders, minis~
ters, students, judges, actors, sci
tntists and columnists. Dr. DeL.ong
said he had totaled the groups sep
arately as well as collectively and
“the suprrising thing is that all
groups are almost in complete
agreement with a very little shift
in traits and surprisingly little
change in position.”

of troops. BSenator Ellender (D.»
La.) didn't explain his “no” vote,
However, he -has said Congress
should nov “interfere” in the
troops-to-Europe question.
With its first resolution of the
way, the Senate wrote practically
the same language into a concur
rent (two-house) resolution, It
was only advisory, like the Sen
ate's, and not legally binding,
With Chairman Connally (D-
Tex.) of the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee leading the op
position, administration supporters
joined with opponents of any troop
transfers to bring the close 45 to
41 result on the two-house pro
posal.
On that tally, 36 Republicans
and nine Democrats voted “yes”
and 32 Democrats and nine Re
publicans opposed passage.”
Connally said there was no use
trying to tell the House what to
do. If it wante@ to act, it could,
he said,
Although the Senate passed the
two-house resolution, it was held
up when proponents failed to nail
down in time a technical cove de=
signed to prevent reconsideration
sometime in the future. That
meant the resolution did not ge to
the House. -
Apparently nobody was wholly
satisfied with the Senate resolu
tion as it was passed.
“Significant Step”
Connally called it “a significant
step toward world peace.” In a
statement he added a prediction
there will be no war this year
because Russia “won’t defy the
free nations of the world.”
But the Texas senator told his
colleagues he regards the resolu
tion as “unnecessary’” because, un
der the constitution, the President
is commander-in-chief of the arm
ed forces and has authority to de
ploy troops.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) told his
colleagues the resolution “is an
answer to the President,” adding

that the measure gave Congress
“a chance to rise up on its hind

Connally View
In the Senate, Connally said |
“there will be no world war this
year, The Ryssians will not defy
the free natfgns of the world.”
Connally had not attended the
White House briefing. He spoke
out during Senate debate on the
troops-to-Europe issue.
Rayburn warned the House
earnestly against “complacency”
over the future. He promised to
speak out again later and give
some more information he thought
his colleagues lacked.
The House bill would lower the
draft age from 19 to 181%, extend
the length of service, and set up a
program of universal military
training, The Senate has passed a
similar nreasure with an 18-year
age minimum.
Rep. Bearden (D.-N.C.) led an
attack against the House measure.
He demanded passage of a draft
measure alone, with universal
training left to separate legisla
tion. And he appeared to be gain
ing support.
But after Rayburn spoke, As
sistant Democratic Leader Priest
of Tennessee told reporters “we
are gaining strength and we have
the votes to pass the committee
bill at this time.”
