MACON TELEGRAPH
Georgia Considerably Better
The Eddie McAshan incident so completely up
staged the Tech-Georgia game in Athens this past
Saturday there will never be total agreement as to
what might have happened if he had played. The
way this reporter saw it the outcome wouldn’t have
been affected.
Georgia was simply a stronger, better football
team. The Bulldogs soundly whipped the Jackets in
both lines. For three years Tech at least matched
Georgia in’hard-nosed football. This year the Bull*
dogs regained the upper hand they've Iqng held in
this department.
The way Georgia was crashing through Tech’s
offensive line in pursuit of quarterback Jim Stevens
it wouldn’t have mattered who was back there. And
Tech never came close to establishing any sort of a
running game. On offense, the Bulldogs blocked the
Jackets with authority, opening up huge holes
through which various backs scampered.
We had thought Tech might squeeze out a victo
ry on long bombs, against which the Bulldogs have
been vulnerable all season, and by taking advantage
of the sort of mistakes Georgia has made all year
long. But on this day, Coach Vince Dooley's team
played wi*h the sort of confidence that has been
lacking. They turned in a superb first-half perform
ance. After intermission they reverted to their old
pattern of errors, but this only kept them from mak
ing the margin greater.
The whole thing goes right back to the fact that
Georgia has played a far tougher schedule. Tech
met only three good clubs all year and didn’t beat
any of them. Georgia, meanwhile, was playing five
bowl-bound teams, beating two, and met only three
outfits that wound up with losing marks.
Dooley Plans No Staff Changes
During the 1972 season there was considerable
talk about unrest on the Georgia squad and about
feuds among the coaches. There was speculation
that Dooley would revise his staff when the season
ended. None of this was true. There are always a
few players on any team who are unhappy when
they don’t get to play.
As for the coaches disliking one another, It was
simply the figment of somebody's imagination. The
assistant coach who caught most of the flak during
the year was Frank Inman, promoted to the post of
offensive coordinator when Fred Pancoast left at the
end of last season to become head man at Memphis
State.
There were suggestions that Dooley got rid of In
man and put him in a recruiting job. Dooley made it
plain soon after Saturday’s game against Tech that
he had no intention of doing anything of the sort.
“Fans should remember that we were only 5-5 the
first year Pancoast was here,” he said.
Personally, I think we had a oratty good season,
considering our schedule and taking into account all
the outstanding players we lost from our 1971 team.
Coach Inman took over the offense at a very trying
time. Still, we wound up 7-4 and would be going to a
bowl had the bids not been issued so soon." Dooley
also wound up as the first Georgia coach in history
to beat three Tech mentors. He prevailed over Bob
by Dodd, Bud Carson and now Bill Fulcher.
Next year, of course, is the season Georgia
coaches have been looking ahead to with reasonable
confidence anyway. The Bulldogs will bring back a
host of veterans from both the offensive and defen
sive units. There will be no shortage of material in
either the line or the backfield, except at linebacker.
If the Bulldogs can fill this void they could be a con
tender in 1973 for all sorts of honors. And Inman
would join Dooley, Erskine Russell and other coach
es as heroes

Stop President
From Usurping
Power-Talmadge
ATLANTA, - (GPS) U. S.
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, a
high ranking member of the
Senate Finance Committee,
said in a Georgia speech that
“there must be a stop” to the
increasing flow of power from
the legislative to the executive
branch of American govern
ment.
“In recent years, govern
mental power has been travel
ing a one-way street away from
the Congress and into the White
House,” Sen. Talmadge told
delegates to the Coweta County
Masonic Convention in Newnan.
“The chief executive,” he
asserted, “has taken it upon
himself to make a number of
major decisions which are the
concern of the peoples’ elected
representatives.
“We have seen this happen
when the executive branch
attempts to claim responsibility
for the allocation of public
monies.
“We have seen it in even more
blatant terms in the Vietnam
situation and as several
Presidents, acting alone and
without the advice and consent
of Congress, committed Ameri
can military forces to combat.
“No one man, not even the
President of the United States,
has the power to make such an
obviously critical decision, as
long as our Constitution
remains in effect.”
Emphasizing that the Consti
tution clearly defines the roles
to be played by Congress and
the President in making war,
the Georgia senior senator
pointed out the futility and lack
of public support of the Vietnam
war in the past 10 years. He also
cited the U. S. intervention in
the Dominican Republic as an
instance where the people had
%io voice in a critical military
decision.
“We have a solution to this
unfortunate state of affairs,”
Talmadge said. “During the
last session of Congress, I
cosponsored the War Powers
Act) which would have guaran
teed congressional deliberation
over such situations involving
American troops.
“The Act passed the Senate
but, unfortunately, died in the
House. As things now stand, the
balance of powers provided by
the Constitution is upset.
Congress was intended to be a
partner in such a serious
decision-making process, but it
has been bypassed.
“Our entire system of
government is based on the
premise that the people have
the good sense to decide what is
best for them,” Sen. Talmadge
added. “When the executive
branch usurps congressional
power, it is robbing the people
of their rightful say in national
affairs.

Most Butts
Folks
Are Natives
How many of the people who
have come to the United States
from other countries in recent
years have settled in Butts
County?
What is the proportion of
foreign-born in the local
population as compared with
the proportion in other areas?
In many communities there
have been marked shifts lately
both in the number of
newcomers to their locations
and in the origins of these new
arrivals.
The chief reason for it is the
change that was made in the
immigration law seven years
ago. Up to that time, for five
decades, there had been quotas
to control the inflow of people
from foreign lands.
The number admitted from
any country was proportional to
the number of nationals of that
country already residing here.
The new law abolished that
quota system and permitted
entry from many nations to
whom our borders had formerly
been closed. Asa result, the
influx from Asia has nearly
tripled since 1965. There has
been a vast increase, also, from
Southern and Eastern Europe.
With respect to Butts County,
the latest figures compiled by
the Census Bureau show that 0.9
percent of the local residents
are of “foreign stock.”
Included in that designation
are persons who were born
abroad as well as others, born in
this country, who had foreign
born parents.
Throughout the United States
as a whole, according to the
findings, some 16.5 percent of
the people are of foreign stock,
and in the State of Georgia, 2.4
percent.

the Butts County picture
portrays a population in which
99.1 percent of the people are
native-born Americans, three
generations or more in depth.
In the ten years ending in
1970_ there were rearly 3,300,000
immigrants admitted to the
United States. This compares
with 2,515,000 in the previous
ten-year period.
