GEORGIA POWER COMPANY Jack Mays Would Exempt Drugs from Sales Tax Sixth District Senatorial candidate Jack Mays said this week that he favored legisla tion which would exempt drugs and medicines from the state’s three percent sales tax. The 41 year old mayor of Folkston, who is opposing Jesup’s Roscoe Dean for the Sixth District Senate seat, said that the low income families were especially hurt by the present sales tax on drugs and medicines, and Jack Mays promised if elected, to seek legislation abolishing the sales tax on drugs and medicines.

Talmadge Cites What He Said on Campaign Costs Atlanta—U. S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, currently seek ing his third term in Con gress, has asked the Georgia news media to help him set the record straight on what he actually said regarding election campaign costs in a recent television interview. In a statement issued from his Washington office, Sen. Tal madge said: “On Monday, July 8, I took part in an Atlanta televised news conference in which I was questioned by a number of reporters. In connection with a generalized discussion of election campaign costs, questions and my responses were taken out of context and wrongly interpreted and in correctly reported. “During this news confer ence, in response to a ques tion, I entered into a brief, hypothetical discussion on what the cost could be to con duct a statewide political cam paign in Georgia at the present time, using the office of Unit ed States senator as an exam ple. “I stated frankly that I did not know, but that I had been told it could cost sl-million. To interpret my remarks to mean that it would take $l - to defeat me in my candidacy for reelection to the Senate this year, or to even suggest or imply that I intend ed to spend a million dollars to secure reelection, is error which in fairness should be corrected. “Because of the widespread dissemination of this erroneous inference, I would appreciate your cooperation in publishing my verbatim statement on this subject as taken from a tran script of the program. Here is that portion of the program: “Question: Senator, what kind of money does it take to run a major challenge to, let’s say, to an incumbent sena tor here in the state? “Talmadge: I don’t know. I’ve had no major challege for statewide office now in some 18 years. In those days, it took about a quarter of a million dollars. I hear from people who have been involv ed in major statewide offices that it takes in the neighbor hood of sl-million at the pres ent time. “Question: ‘That means that if there are three people, then somewhere someone has found some money. Does this indi cate that there might be some opposition to you there, too? “Talmadge: ‘Oh, I don’t think any of my opponents constitute a major challenge. I don’t think either one of them can raise anything like that amount of money, nor do I expect to attempted to do so.’ SAFETY HINTS Let not the prospect of care free days of boating go up in smoke this spring.

Henman C. Odom of Claxton. Chairman of the Georgia Agricultural Commodity Com mission for Tobacco, said at a Douglas meeting recently, “A green card with a golden mao of Georgia imprinted upon it will identify all tobacco pro duced in Georgia. Out-of-state producers selling at Georgia warehouses will, of course, not be eligible for the ‘Georgia grown’ tag. “In a thirty-day referendum just completed, in which all Georgia tobacco allotment holders were polled by mail,” Odom said, “88 per cent of farmers returning their ballots were in favor of using the Agricultural Commodity Sales Promotion Act (enacted by the last session of the State Legis lature) to let the tobacco com pany buyers know the geo graphic origin of the tobacco for which they are bidding. Last year, 18.64 per cent of tobacco selling in Georgia was not grown in the state. “Tobacco Marketing Order Number 6A is written,” Odom continued, “so if the labeling of Georgia tobacco should prove of little value or not bolster the price of home - grown tobacco, provisions are in the order so Phil Campbell, Georgia Commissioner of Agri culture, or a .majority vote of the five tobacco-farmer .mem bers of the Georgia Commis sion for Tobacco can kill the marketing order.” Members of the A. C. C. for Tobacco are: Herman C. Odom of Claxton, Chairman; Willie McKinnon of Willacoochee; C. C. Ramsey of Quitman; T. W. Booth of Waycross; and Britt Dorsey of Nashville. Three hearings, to explain the Georgia Agricultural Com modity Commission for To bacco marketing order for tagging of tobacco and record testimony from tobacco farm ers, were conducted prior to the referendum.
