Gambrell Sees “No Relief”
In Current Busing Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C.
(PRN) - U.S. Senator David
H. Gambrell said today that in
his opinion the conference
report on the Higher
Education bill in respect to its
provisions regarding forced
school busing was an
unsatisfactory compromise
amounting to “an unwise
program, arrived at by the
unwilling, to be imposed on
the unrepresented.” For this
reason the Georgia senator
said he decided to vote against
its approval. “I had hopes of
getting this bill sent back to be
reworked so that we might get
a better anti-busing measure,”
the Georgia senator said in a
press conference just after the
vote, “We had almost carried a
total abolition of busing in the
Senate a month or so ago and
1 didn’t see any sense in voting
for much less than that
todav.”
In a statement on the
Senate floor prior to the final
vote Georgia’s junior senator
had said. “Instead of providing
positive leadership toward
equal educational
opportunities and a fair
solution of the busing
questions. President Nixon has
proposed a plan which is
neither fish nor fowl . . .the
provisions of the present
legislation are ambiguous, with
little to indicate what they

include: lack of money to buy
the proper food, ignorance as
to what constitutes a proper
diet and a lack of concern for
good nutrition, according to
the Governor.
Carter said, there is recent
evidence to indicate that
malnutrition causes reduced
intellectual development and
even mental retardation. Good

cornerstones upon which
physical fitness is built, he
added.

relief this bill contains is
temporary and what is most
repugnant about the proposal
is that it discriminates against
those most deserving of
relief.”
“What bothers me most,”
Senator Gambrell said, “is the
possibility that this
compromise will paint over
the sores of the busing

subject.” Gambrell said that
he felt this election year
would be time to solve the
matter, saying, “I fear that
this may be the last shot we
get at passing effective
anti-busing legislation this year
and this is the year when the
question ought to be decided.
It’s the year of the national
election and if we don’t get it
up this year, I am afraid we
will have to struggle along
with this very disastrous
busing program that we have
in effect now.”
Gambrell stressed that this
was not a vote against the
Higher Education bill nor the
Emergency School Assistance
Program, both of which he
had previously supported.
“I regret to say that the
people’s wishes on this matter
have come more nearly to
being recognized, as more
busing has been required in
areas outside the South. Wha
was once detached support for
busing has changed to frenzied
and desperate maneuvers in
search of compromise. Maybe
another court order or two, or
a little even handed
enforcement by the Nixon
administration will bring this
issue to a point where it can
be fairly and decisively
disposed of. I reject half

the final solution.”
Talmadge
Urges Aid
to Towns
ATLANTA, - ( GPS ) U.S.
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge has
extended a formal invitation
to the new head of the Nixon
administration’s budget bureau
to take a tour of some small
Georgia towns where raw sew
age regularly flows in the gut
ters of public streets.
Sen. Talmadge, Chairman of
the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee, sent a letter to Cas
par W. Weinberger, who re
places George Schultz as dir
ector of the office of Manage
ment and Budget ( OBM), in
viting him to tour these small
towns “ for a better under
standing of the emergency
needs of rural America.”
In his letter to Weinberger,
the Georgia senior senator
said: “It is extremely un
fortunate that towns of this
size receive little attention in
our national press, in our nat.
ional dialogue — and most im
portantly in national budge •
tary considerations.
“ I believe that Congress
means what it said in Title
IX ( of the 1970 Farm BiU).
I believe that it is committed
to a sound rural-urban bal -
ance. However, if the federal
government feels that small
towns ... have no place in 20th
Century America, then it should
say so.”
“ I feel ,” he added, “ that
it is committed to a sound
if the people sho make budge
tary considerations in Wash
ington really understood the
problems of rural areas — if
they understood the promise as
well as the plight of rural Am er
ica - they would be more re
ceptive to approving adequate
funds for rural developement”
Sen. Talmadge made the re
quest of Weinberger following
a meeting with representatives
of four small Georgia towns—
Georgetown, Lumpkin, Rich •
land and Talbotton — which
have emergency situations re
sulting from an inability to
get Farmers Home Adminis
tration ( FHA ) money for
water and sewer construction.
Pointing out that FHA was
sympathetic to the needs of
those towns, but that the pro
blem was money, Talmadge
said:
“ If raw sewage regularly'
flowed ,in the gutters of Wash
ington, D.C., if the capital city
went without water for three
days, we would call this a
major national tragedy.
“ But situations like these
four towns of Georgetown, Tal
botton, Lumkin and Richland
in my state of Georgia, and
it is occurring in hundreds
of other small towns through
out rural America.”
Sen. Talmadge further point
ed out that water and sewage
needs of towns under 5,500
people were approxiamtely sl3
billion, and that despite these
needs, the administration had
refused to spend the amounts
appropriated by Congress. The
senator, in his letter, then
declared:
” While on the one hand the
Environmental Protection A
gency puts increasingpressure
on local officials to clear up
water pollution, the agency that
has the power to help these
small town mayors comply, the
Farmers Home Adminis
tration, is continually strapped
for funds.
“ We must either allow these
towns to continue to pollute
ground water supplies — which
Is unthinkable - or we must
give them the help they need
to do the job.”

PASTOR'S PEN
" BELIEVE THE GOSPEL "
Mark 1:15; Romans 10:13 - 17
The Lord has issued an invitation for His
listeners to report and believe the gospel.
Surely we can believe that it was a gracious
command by which He intended to bless
those who responded. To hear the gospel,
the good news of God's love, makes it pos
sible for a person to repent, that is to
change his mind about God, about life, about
self, and about others. What is the gospel?
Paul defined it as the good news about how
Christ Jesus died for our sins, how He was
buried, and how He arose the third day. A
person needs to understand the significance
of these events if he would obey the comm
and of the Lord to believe. The gospel is
the good news which tells of the eternal God
who reveals himself loving His creatures.
It tells about His unselfishness, how He
seeks the sinner, how He forgives the sin
ner, how He loves each one individually,
and about how He wants to be our heavenly
father.
Howdoes a person believe? We believe by
first hearing the gospel. Secondly, we must
accept it as truth without doubt. Thirdly,
we must put our confidence and trust in this
good news the God loves us. Can you believe
the truth about God as it is declared in John
3:16. This verse tells us what God is like.
He is the one who gave His son to die for
us. We must respond to this truth with
confidence if we are to receive the grace,
mercy and loVe of God. Place your finger
on John 3; 16 and believe that the Scripture
is talking about the person who has your
name. Yes, Jesus invites His listeners to
believe. If we refuse to believe, we shut
Him out of our lives and we rob ourselves
of the blessings God has for us.
