Fortson calls "the finest archives build- ing in the United States." The magnificent 14 - story structure, built of white Chero- kee Georgia marble, is the lat- est addition to the Capitol Square complex on the fringe of the Atlanta business district. The Archives Building is two blocks from the Capitol itself. "I'm proud of this building.". Fortson said Saturday me, as the keeper of Georgia. records, it means that a dream of many years has finally come "For true. "We now have a place to house and preserve precious documents recording the history and development of our state." Gov. Carl E. Sanders and Fortson will be co-hosts at the dedication ceremony and for- mer Gov. Ernest Vandiver will make the principal address. Vandiver made the money avail- able for the building during his 1959-62 term. Fortson said responses to in- vitations indicated that a crowd of several hundred, including high officials from other states, will be on hand. The visitors I will include the secretaries of state of Kentucky and South Carolina-Mrs. Thelma L. Sto- vall and Frank O. Thornton. The s.ructure rises eight floors above the ground level, with underground floors for parking and record vaults. There are parking spaces for 1,- 100 cars. Loft-like arrangement of some of the floors, making more space available for records, has led to arguments at the Capitol over the actual number of floors. Some contend there are 17. But Fortson and State Audi- tor Ernest B. Davis, secretary of the State Office Building Au- thority, said they are calling it. a total of 14. On the ground floor are a Memorial Hall and a small au- ditorium with 140 seats. Three stained glass windows portray the history of the Confederacy. Some of the documents stored in the building date back to Rev- olutionary War days. When state authorities were driven from Savannah and Ebenezer to Au- gusta and Heard's Fort, Geor- gia's first secretary of state fled with the archives to Charleston, S.C. Later they were removed to Newbern, N.C. and then to Bal- timore, where they remained until several years after the war ended. Then they came back to Georgia and three cap- itals Louisville, Milledgeville and finally Atlanta. Cancer Society Meets Wednesday The Clarke County unit of the American Cancer Society will hold its annual organizational meeting Wednesday night. The meeting will be in the Civic Room of the C & S Na- tional Bank Building, beginning at 7.0 p.m. " very important meeting," said Robert H. Car 3, te ca of the Board of Directors for the Clarke County unit. "In that we will be inaugurating a new ex- panded organization. We will be doing this by calling on leaders of industry, education, commun- ication, religion, and business to help us disseminate the known facts about cancer." Also on schedule for the Wednesday night meeting will be the installation of new offi- cers, and the presentation of several service awards to out- standing workers of the past year.

THE ATHENS BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA ET Ford Johnson Setbacks Expected WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi- dent Johnson seems likely to taste some of the sour lemon of defeat on scattered issues as Congress bucks its way toward an end-of-the-month adjourn- ment. The President, recuperating from surgery at Bethesda Naval Hospital, apparently is in for a political setback Monday when the Senate is expected to reject a motion to limit debate on a House-passed bill to eliminate state authority to ban union shop contracts. This action probably will mean the, postponement until 1966 of final action on a meas- ure Johnson promised labor leaders he would try to get Con- gress to pass in this session. Coupled with this rebuff, the President may find on his desk before the end of the month a bill increasing the pay of gov ernment workers that he may regard as so unsatisfactory as to justify a veto. Johnson asked for a $400-mil- lion yearly increase for Civil Service employes. The House boosted this to $1.5 billion over two years. The Senate may well vote to reduce this but still ap- prove a figure considerably above Johnson's estimate. The President has not es- caped unscathed in a session which has rolled out a record- breaking volume of administra- tion sponsored legislation, in- cluding such landmark meas- ures as health care for the eld- erly, excise tax cuts, elementa- ry school aid. Negro voting rights and creation of a new ur- ban affairs Cabinet department. Before it adjourns, Congress seems certain to add to these measures for aid to higher edu- cation, highway beautification, vocational rehabilitation and a farm bill brought reasonably in line with the President's recom- mendations. But Johnson's great persua- siveness and his influence with the legislators were not suffi- cient to win satisfactory action on home rule for the District of Columbia, where Negro citizens outnumber whites. He is certain to be back knocking on the door for this next year. The President asked for ex- pansion of minimum-wage cov- erage and didn't get it, another issue to be held over for the election-year Congress. But even next year action is unlikely on a presidential pro- posal to increase benefits and set up fedaral standards for state unemployment compensa- tion payments.
