TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I am 100 per cent for our time-tested system of SEGREGATION in public and private life. For that reason I am strongly opposed to Senator Zorn's unbelievable plan to rob our local government of any power whatever to pass ordinances affecting who shall use motels, hotels, restaurants and swimming pools and affecting the free choice of who shall work for us in our private business and industry. I am making this public statement as a private citizen. But I am Mayor of Odum (popu lation over 500 people) and a member of the Georgia Municipal Association of town and city officials and I deeply resent Senator Zorn's attempt to take a very important power away from local government. LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT IS THE BEST GOVERNMENT EVER DEVISED. Local affairs should be decided by the people on the local level and not in Atlanta or Washington. Senator Zom tried to deny by his amendment local government rights and powers. And who did he want to give the power to? He planned to give it to the Georgia Legis lature, which several years ago destroyed every single one of our STATE SEGREGATION LAWS and opened the doors to mixing in Atlanta. The Georgia Legislature under re-ap portionment will forever from now on be dominated by the big cities. I THANK GOD THAT THIS WILD PLAN OF ZORN'S WAS DEFEATED BY THE STATE SENATE NOT ONCE BUT TWICE IN THE SAME SESSION THAT ENDED LAST WEEK. THE FIGHT AGAINST ZORN'S AMENDMENT WAS LED BY SENATOR BEN F. JOHNSON, PRO FESSOR OF LAW AT EMORY UNIVERSITY. SENATOR JOHNSON IS THE MAN WHO DID SO MUCH TO WORK FOR HOME RULE FOR CITIES AND COUNTIES IN T H E NEW CONSTITUTION. ZORN INDICATED THAT GA'S. ONE NEGRO STATE SENATOR LED THE FIGHT TO DEFEAT HIS AMENDMENT. MR. ZORN IS NOT RIGHT. I ASK THE QUESTION: "HOW CAN ONE SENATOR OUT OF 54 SENATORS DEFEAT ANY THING?" Now if the Federal CIVIL RIGHTS BILL is tried out in local communities, more than 700 Georgia cities and more than 150 Georgia counties can file nearly a thousand suits to hold back the tide of court orders that WASHINGTON AND THE FEDERAL GOVERN MENT will not hesitate to enforce with BAYONET ARMED TROOPS. REMEMBER LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS. However, if Zom had his way and the Georgia Legislature tried to pass a law against the civil rights bill, just ONE FEDERAL SUIT WOULD QUICKLY KNOCK IT OUT and leave more than 700 Georgia cities and all 159 counties wide open to enforcement of mixing swimming pools, hotels and restaurants and to force employment of anybody that Washing ton said to. Already we have seen the Federal Court knock out our county unit system and knock out the make-up of the Georgia Legislature — WITH JUST ONE SUIT IN EACH CASE. We have seen it happen and it is going to happen again and again UNLESS WE KEEP THE POWER TO FIGHT IT TO THE LAST BREATH ON THE LOCAL LEVEL. THE ZORN AMENDMENT WOULD HAVE KEPT US FROM KEEPING SUCH POWER ON THE LOCAL LEVEL. I just wonder who Senator Zom is really representing — the home folks who elected him or the big cities which voted with him on his dangerous plan? He said his amendment would prevent adoption of so-called Civil Rights leaislation in metropolitan areas which are controlled by the block vote. DOES HE REPRESENT THE BIG METROPOLITAN AREAS OF GEORGIA OR THE PEOPLE FROM THE SMALL TOWNS AND CITIES IN HIS DISTRICT? The big city senators who voted with him are from: COLUMBUS, AUGUSTA, SAVANNAH, MARIETTA, DALTON, ALBANY, MILLEDGEVILLE AND BRUNSWICK. Ony two big cities voted against him — Atlanta end Macon. THE ZORN AMENDMENT WOULD HAVE PERMITTED LEGISLATORS FROM ALL THE BIG CITIES TO VOTE ON PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONS MATTERS THAT AFFECTED ONLY WAYNE COUNTY. DOES A LEGISLATOR FROM THE BIG CITY KNOW THE PROB LEMS ON OUR LOCAL LEVEL IN WAYNE COUNTY? I do not think our people approved of Senator Zom trying to get OUTSIDE SENATORS to help bail him out of the trouble his wild plan got him into. We have fine and ab’e officials down here, able to think and speak for themselves. They hardly need outside senators to explain ANYTHING to them. But they would like for them and our senator to represent our people by fighting for home rule and against civil rights and NOT misrepresent them by turning us over to Washington and Atlanta.
