Urges Hiring
Handicapped
Job Seekers
Georgia employers were urged
to cooperate with their vocational
rehabilitation agency in develop
ing sound policies on hiring the
handicapped.
Ernest L. Craft, Vocational Re
habilitation Counselor, made the
request in connection with Nat
ional Employ the Physically
Handicapped Week. The obser
vance was set for the week of
October 4-10 this year by the
President and Congress.
Mr. Craft said investigation has
shown that .many employers have
no definite policy governing em
ployment of disabled workers.
“Too often,” he said, “the result
is discrimination against the
handicapped because of lack of
information that bars them from
jobs they can handle well, with
the result that employer and em
ployee both suffer.”
To remedy the discrimination
problem, Mr. Craft offered the re
sources of his agency to any em
ployer wishing to formulate a
policy for hiring the handicapped.
“Our aim,” he declared,” is to
bury once and for all the old idea
that the physically and mentally
impared are fit only for unskilled
work, even when rehabilated”.
Mr. Craft invited employers to
examine the wide variety of jobs
filled by clients of the Georgia
vocational rehabilitation agency
during the past year.
“If the nation is going to a
chieve President Eisenhower’s
goal of 200,000 rehabilitations a
year,” Mr. Craft asserted, “more
people, particularly employers,
must realize that we stand behind
our product, the same as any
reputable concern.”

AN TALMADGE
Reports From
$
a W ■
uSHINGTON
m . .^i
(Editor’s Note: The following is Senator Talmadge’s final
column for 1959. He will resume writing these weekly reports
from Washington when the Second Session of the 86th
Congress convenes next January.)
THE FIRST SESSION of the
86th Congress was dominated
from start to finish by partisan
politics and, paradoxically as it
may seem, the country benefited
as a result.
The P arti "
if"' sanship which
\ T always charac
’ terizes Co n
| gressional Ses
sions preced
ing presiden
tial
Q9A X RQ was intensified
BBHLAnHH this by
the facts that different parties
control the Executive and Legisla
tive Branches and that most of the
major presidential contenders are
in the Legislative Branch. Con
sequently, we saw the White
House warring with Congress
with the weapons of vetoes,
threats of vetoes and appeals over
the heads of the lawmakers to the
voters and Congress fighting back
by going the President one better
in economizing and by breaking
his perfect veto record.
* • *
IN THE STANDOFF which re
sulted, the radicals and the spend
ers in Congress were checkmated
and the nation was spared th®
burden of increased federal spend
ing and the disruption of further
punitive force legislation in the
field of civil rights.
In ail areas of federal activity
but one, health and medical re
search, the appropriations voted
by Congress were well below the
amounts requested by President
Eisenhower. More than a billion
dollars of the taxpayers’ money
was saved and prospects were en
hanced for the nation this year
to have its sixth balanced budget
in 31 years.

Clinic Building
Now Under
Construction
Construction of the new clinic
building for Brantley County is
well underway it is announced
by Pete Gibson, president of the
corporation. Initial clearing has
been done, the foundation poured,
and some of the blocks laid. Other
phases of construction are moving
along satisfactorily.
The clinic building is being
erected by the Brantley County
Medical Center, Inc., a non-profit
corporation comprised of many
of the leading citizens of Brantley
County. Supervision of construct
ion is under the direction of J.
C. Allen, Building Committee
Chairman. The building is located
adjacent to Okefenoke Co-op lot
on U. S. Highway 84. Anyone
interested is invited to drop by
and observe the progress being
made.
The project is being financed
by the sale of bonds to the
general public of Brantley Coun
ty. The bond sale is under the
general suprvision of Brown
Brooker, Chairman of Finance
Committee, and he is being assist
ed by other members of the Cor
poration and members of the Na
hunta Junior Chamber of Com
merce.
Every citizen of Brantley Coun
ty who is interested in better
medical facilities is urged to buy
bonds and support this project.
Anyone wishing to buy a bond
and isn’t contacted should contact
any member of the J. C.’s or the
clinic organization.
The bond sale has so far re
ceived the enthusiastic support
of the people, but many more
must be sold in order to complete
the project.
Despite all the threats and
bombast, the race baiters were un
able to convince a majority of the
members of Congress of the need
for any further “civil rights’’ bills
and the most they were able to
accomplish was to extend the life
of the unneeded and unconstitu
tional Commission on Civil Rights.
Seething racial violence and ten
sion in the metropolitan areas out
side the South gave many legisla
tors pause to stop and think about
the wisdom of Congress adding
any more fuel to the flames.
WITH THE OFFICE of Presi
dent, one-third of the seats in the
Senate and all the seats in the
House of Representatives at stake
in next year’s elections, it is a
foregone conclusion that new
pressures for more spending and
more anti-South legislation will
face the Second Session of the
86th Congress when it convenes
in January.
We can expect those whose
chief stock in trade is South
hating and South-baiting to be
more vociferous than ever in their
demands for laws to coerce our
region. Bills to implement the
alarming and arrogant recommen
dations of the Commission on
Civil Rights undoubtedly will be
pressed.
Our best hope is that the coun
terbalancing political forces which
served the country so well this
year once again will come into
play to thwart the cynical designs
of those who place greater value
on their political hides than on the
safety, solvency arid unity of our
nation. <
