.. “Georgia Studies”, a compilation
‘of the writings of Dr. Robert

ig[ the Georgia professor's book:
I*:“Dr, Robert Preston Brooks this
iSéssion arrives at the point in his
@brsanal calendar when he is
elicible for retirement. He has
endered long and distinguished
service to the University of Geor
gia and the state.
* Born in Milledgeville, son of a
"Methodist minister, educated in
JAthens, at the University of Wis-~
®onsin (Ph.D), and at Oxford, he
‘has served the University of Geor
gla as assistant to Chancellor
‘fwhile yet a student), a. first
Rhodes scholar from the state of
Lieorgia, as Deßenne Professor of
History, Professor of Economics,
Dean of the College of Business
Administration, Kahn Traveling
Fellow, and Dean of Faculties. He
has been a member of committees,
ommissions, and other such
%dies too numerous to mention.
is published writings require
pages just to list the titles. He is
a recnogized expert on taxation.
' As Dr. Brooks reaches the end
of his half-century with the oldest
«chartered state university, two
‘books—one by him and the other
a collection of his writings—and
published by the University of
Georgia Press,
One of these is “The Financial
History of Georgia”—a study of
the siate’s money problems from
the settlement of the colony by
indigent Englishmen to the pass
age of the sales tax act. Emphasis
4s placed on the great changes in
‘Georgia finances from 1915 to 1951
‘when state government increased‘
its expenditure by 2,211 per cent.
This particular volume is the 17th
4in a series of publications pre
‘pared under the sponsorship of
‘the Institute for the Study of
Georgia Problems, which was es
‘tablished 15 year ago, largely
‘through the efforts of Dr. Brooks,
: Georgia Studies |
* The other book is “Georgia Stu
«dies:” Selected Writings of Rob
ert Preston Brooks’ edited with
-an introdugtion by Dr. Gregor
. Sebba, and a Preface by Dr. Tom
?gxson Fort. This volume reflects
' Dr. Brooks' interests as a teacher
“and administrator, historian and
‘egonomist, and champion of wiser
.taxation and better education,
“during the period of the state’s
‘and the University’s greatest
ggowjh.
. “Georgia Studies’,, which ¢on
é}in}: a bibliography of the writ
;figs- of Dr. Brooks, is divided ‘in
.o five sections. First are selected
f%stmyical subjects, such as “The
;&Agnirian Revolution in Georgia”
“and “Howell Cobb and the Crisis
;of 1850.” Next comes a division on
“SCeorgia Government and Fi
spances”, followed by three essays
#Bln Defense of the South”. Next
a@re his penetrating and under
‘wstanding articles on the Univer
*';.ty of Georgia, and a concluding
_section called “Travia”—hitherto
“unpublished pieces which reflect
‘the dry humor and mellow wis
+dom which are known best and
‘appreciated most by Dr. Brooks’
‘intimate friends.
~. Both Dr, Fort, who is head of
§Lg\e mathematics department, and
. Dr. Sebba, who is professor of
. economics, are high in their praise
*of Dr. Brooks. “He is one of those
- who have constantly helped the
State of Georgia . toward the
building of a greater University
. and helped its people tc a higher
vel of culture,” Dr. Fort writes
+in his Forward.
¥ Dr. Sebba, in his Introduction,
g : e(zlually complimentary, and in
“detail appraises Dr. Brooks’ con
i dribution in each of the several
_dmportant positions he has filled.
-He notes that as Dr. Brooks re

This book, writes Dr. Sebba, “is
designed to honor a Georgia
scholar by making his scattered
papers of four decades once more
available and useful to people of
this state, and to friends and stu
dents of South.”
It does that, but more: It em
phasizes the University’s and the
state’s loss in Dv. Brooks’ retire
ment, and also how much better
both are as a result of his long
and useful service as teacher, ad
i ministrator, researcher, wrniter,
| and speaker. It is heartening to
know that even though Dr.
Brooks has reached the chrono
logical age at which he must re
'tire, he is still sufficiently voung
in spirit and vigorous in mind and
body to be of much more value in
those areas which command his
interest and talents.

The Credentials Committee
would look into the question
whether the anti-Trumanites are
planning a bolt from the ticket in
case a stiff civil rights plank is
adopted and the presidential nom
inee proves unacceptable to them.
Refuse Pledges
So far the anti-Trumanites from
the two Southern states have re
fused to pledge themselves against
a bolt. In fact, if the convention
tries to put through a resolution
binding them to accept the ticket,
there is a possibility they might
bolt then and there.
The National Committee decision
today was made on motion of
Jacob M, Arvey, Illinois national
committeeman and in general an
administration supporter. He said
he wanted to avoid a fight in the
committee,
The committee accepted recom
mendations made earlier in the
day by a subcommittee, except
that it added the proposal for a
stg_qu of party {oyalty.
The subcommittee recommend
ed seating of the anti-Truman
delegations headed by Gov. Allan
Shivers of Texas and J. P. Cole
man of Mississippi, but sought to
box them in so they can’t bolt. It
recommended that the convention
pass a resolution to bind the seat
ed delegations to support the par
ty’s nominee, no matter who he
may be.
The subcommittee recommend
ed to the full National Committee
that the Shivers group be given
the nod over a “loyalist” delega
tion headed by former Rep. Maury
Maverick, who had the support
of highly placed pro-Trumanites.
The subcommittee voted to let
the Maverick group and the Mis
sissippi “loyalists” sit in the con
vention hall and observe the pro
ceedings. Maverick served notice
of appeal.
Victorious Delegation
The winning Mississippi delega
tion is headed by Gov. Hugh
White while the losing “loyalists”
are led by Dixon Pyles of Jack
son.
Today’s decisions were a setback
to the efforts of pro-Truman ele
ments of the party to gain firm
control of the convention. The
Trumanites include W. Averell
Harriman of New York, Senator
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, both
running for the presidential nom
ination, Senator Hubert Hum
phrey, Minnesota favorite son, and
others.
Kefauver issued a statement
blasting the victorious anti-Tru
man delegations.
.'I say they are not Democrats,”
he asserted. “They do not recog
nize the first principle of Demo
cracy. That principle is that peo
ple can live together under ma
jority rule. These people do not
believe in majority rule.”

France, to mark centenary of inauguration of Medaille Militaire..
Democralic

House, noted that the House Rules
Committee, which decides what
bills are to be called up for ac=-
tion, can bottle up legislation in
definitely and sometimes has done
so. Republicans and Southern
Democrats dominate the Rules
Committee.
McCormack said a discarded
House rule which allowed com
mittee chairmen to call up their
bills on certain days, if the Rules
Committee had pigeonholed them
for 21 days or more, might be
added to any Senate anti-filibus
ter plank such as Benton and Leh
man advocated.
Lehman, a platform committee
member, commented that any ci
vil rights stand would be “mere
words” unless the convention also
urged methods to push legislation
through Congress.
Gag Rule
Lehman denied the contention
of Sen, Richard B. Russell of
Georgia, a presidential candidate,
that the Lehman proposal to com
bat filibusters would be gag rule.
It now takes the votes of 64
Senators—two-thirds of the full
membership of 96—to shut off de
bate and force a vote. This pro
cess, called cloture, has not been
invoked successfully for years.
Benton and Lehman want to
change this rule so that two-thirds
of those present and voting—
which might be far fewer than 64
——could shut off debate within
four days, or only a simple ma
jority—49 if all are present—
could end it after 15 days of de
bate.
Even then, Lehman explained,
cach of the 96 Senators could talk
for an hour, “or for two or three
weeks” 4n all before a vote.
There are indications that the
whole issue may be fought out on
the convention floor.
Note of Dissent
A dissent came from Sen. John
J. Sparkman of Alabama, who is
backing Russell for the presiden
tial nomination.
Sparkman said the platform
group is “running far afield” if it
gets involved in the mechanics of
iegislation. He said its job is to
tell the public about party princi
ples.
Archibald 8. Alexander, who is
campaigning for a U. 8. Senate
seat in New Jersey, declared the
Democratic Party “must not com
promise” on the civil rights issue.

propriations for recent years have
been for buying military goods—
ships, planes and so on—and these
carry over from one year to an
other until all the money is spent,
whenever that may be.
The reason why the Defense
Department hag 60 billion dollars
in carry over spending authority
on top of 47 XMillion newly pro
vided for fiscal 1953 will be clear=
er if you consider this:
A one-year-only appropriation
was enough for building a Navy
vessel in the days of the small
sailin% ship, but it wouldn't work
so well for the giant aircraft car
riers of today, which may take
five years or more to build,
The carry-over appropriation is
largely a product of the advancing
machine age and its increasingly
complicated gadgets.

Paul Brown
(Continued From Page One)
if Senator Russell is nominated,
“there will be a great candidate
to defeat.”” He did not mention
General Elsenhower by name, but
referred to him as a “great sol
dier and a great leader of men.”
Cites Russell Experience
In stressing the importance of
Senator Russell’s election, he com
pared the senator’s experience in
public and governmental affairs
with the general’s comparative in
experience in those phases of
American life.
He defended this nation’s ex
penditures abroad through the
mutual security act, as one of the
most important laws passed in the
last two years, describing it as
“the keystone of our foreign pol
icy.” He explained that “the
money we are spending is being
spent to keep American blood
from being spilt.” Through such
expenditures, he said, “the Com
munist tide has been turned.”
Turing to the question of pre
paredness at home, Rep. Brown
said it was his belief that a “war
of today or tomorrow will be
fought by men now trained and
with equipment already manu
factured—there will be no time
to prepare from now on.”
The representative explained
that he wished to see taxes re
duced but that because of national
defense commitments (including a
154-wing air force by the end of
1954), he could not seé any re
duction for two years. And then
the reduction will be gradual, he
said.
Formally Nominated -
Rep. Brown’s speech followed
the convention during which his
formal nomination was made by
John C. Evans of Warrenton. In
his, and in the various seconding
speeches, Rep. Brown was praised
as a fighter, a man who had never
missed a roll call in his 17 years
in the house, for his persenal and
official honesty and integrity, his
ability to get things done, his in
terest in his district, state and na
tion, and other attributes.
Seconding speeches were made
by Dr. W. D. Jennings of Augusta;
Mrs. J. W. Gholston of Comer;
L. L. Morris of Hartwell; Hamil
ton McWhorter of Lexington; W.
D. Lanier of Augusta; M. L&}Kim—
brel of Thompson; E. D. Wier of
Athens; Phil Campbell, Jr. of
Watkinsville; Gus Starke of Mon
roe; Dr. J. G. Wright'of Wash
ington; T. H. McGiboney of
Greensboro; A. B. Mulcay, rep
resenting The Labor Review of
Augusta, and L. S. Johnson of
Royston.
Named as a committee to in
form Rep. Brown of his nomina
tion and escort him to the floor
~were Mrs. Gholston, Ralph W.
Goluke of Crawfordville, Mr.
Wier, Dr. Wright, Mr, Johnson,
W. T. Dunnaway of Lincolnton;
Charles Baldwin of Madison, E. D.
Clary of Harlem, J. G. Faust of
Greensboro and Sherman Draw
dy of Augusta.
Appreciation Vote
A standing vote of appreciation
was given Miss Lois Gholston,
Rep. Brown’s secretary, for her
assistance to the convention, and
at another time the convention
stood in recognition of Mrs.
Brown and Miss Rosalyn Brown.
Jack B. Eubank of Harlem
was named permanent chairman
of the conventicn on the nomina
tion of Lester S. Moody of Au
gusta, and Judge Clarke Edwards
of Elberton was named perma
nent secretary.
Judge Edwards read the certifi
cation vote cast for Rep. Brown,
which was approved and adopted
on a motion by Robert E. Knox of
Thomson.
Following the convention, Rep.
Erown entertained the delegates
and friends at a barbecue at the
Elberton American Legion hut.

drawn a steel price offer of slight
ly more than $5 a ton, the industry
was reliably reported untroubled
about that aspeev of the long dis
pute, The companies have been
insisting on price compensation for
pay ralses.
The $5 offer was made by Steel
man to three executives of U. 8.
Steel a week ago today. It was
contingent on agreement between
the industry and the union on a
new work contract.
When a new contract is signed
there appears to be no doubt
among the highest officials that
the $5-plus offer will be reserved.
It will be more than $2 above the
price increase the industry is auto
matically allowed under the Cape
hart amendment to the controls
law, Top mobilization officials
have authority to go outside the
regular price stabilization for
mulag to obtain production.
Major issue still separating the
parties is the union’s demand for
a union shop, a form of compul
sory unionism. But Murray has
watered down that demand: Pres
ent steel workers who are not in
the union could stay out perma
nently; new steel workers would
have an escape period during
which they could get out of the
union.
The industry, which says it is
opposed to the union shop on
grounds it violates basic further
revisions of the modifications
Murra¥ has already agreed to.
