LEWIS SPUNS COAL TRUCE: Washington, D. C.—John L. Lewis,
miners’ chief, rejected proposals of President Truman for a 70 day
truce and appointment of a fact finding board. Here Lewis is at left,
with UMW vice president John Kennedy just before the bargaining
session with the coal operators was rejected.
Ga. Assembly
Adjourns
Re-Registration
Law Is Delayed
For Two Years
The 1950 session of the Georgia
General Assembly has adjourned,
but with the expectation of many
members that it will be called
back in extra session within the
next few months to consider
state finances and taxes. Some
political experts believe, how¬
ever, that Governor Talmadge
will not call an extra session, but
will wait until the 1951 Assembly
to complete his tax revision pro¬
gram.
A major part of the Governor’s
bills were enacted by the Legis¬
lature, including a deferrment of
the Registration Act for two
years; allowing the State Demo¬
cratic Executive Committee to
set the date of the 1950 Primary;
setting up a pension plan for
Peace Officers; allowing the Gov¬
ernor to send the State Patrol
and G. B. I. into the various coun¬
ties for law enforcement pur¬
poses without specific request of
county officers; revision of the
Highway Department with the
creation of a 3-man Board; in¬
creased jobless benefits with a
decrease in employer costs; and
the placing of many additional
State departments under the
Merit System.
The Assembly failed to repeal
all so-called nuisance taxes re¬
quested by the administration,
but did repeal 19. The plan to
take the State out of the ad
valorem tax field died in com¬
mittee. Also, a compromise was
effected on the proposed Depart¬
ment of Institutions and a sub¬
stitute bill was passed setting
up an Advisory Board to work for
the over-all welfare of the various
State institutions.

been a hot issue for the last two

Under another bill passed by
the Assembly all fluid milk sold
in Georgia for human consump¬

of the measure said that this will
not effect the sale of lower grades
for use in ice cream, cheese, etc.
Another measure sponsored by
the State Milk Board, and passed,
adds an additional producer
member to the Board. Dairyman
Sam Bullock, of Manchester, has
been appointed to this place.
The Assembly passed a measure
by Mrs. Iris Blitch, sole lady
Member of the legislature, setting
up a 5-man Board to control
Jekyle Island. This Board, to be
appointed by the Governor, has
the authority to borrow money
to develop the Island and to sub¬
lease portions of it for 50-year
periods.
Advocates of liquor prohibition
in Georgia staged a last-minute
surge to dry up the State and
passed such a bill through the
Senate. However, the measure
died in the House Temperance
Committee in spite of determin¬
ed efforts to get it to the floor.
Pensions for retired teachers
were increased by 50% in legis¬
lative action which was practical¬
ly unanimous in both bodies.
Among proposed laws killed by
the Assembly were bills to ap¬
propriate $141,000 for financing an
agricultural and research program
in the State ;to authorize coun¬
ties to be divided into districts
for school bonding purposes; in¬
creasing state speed limit to 65
miles per hour; to end rent con¬
trol in Georgia; to add two mem¬
bers to the Pardon and Parole
Board; to allow county tax col¬
lectors fees for collecting school
taxes; and to provide that the
State Auditor be elected by the
Legislature every 2 years.
Handsome gifts were presented
at the final session Monday to

America In Books
For a number of years, schools,
libraries and bookstores have cel¬
ebrated February as “America
Month”. Certainly no one month
need be designated to make us
conscious of our many advant¬
ages, but the month of February
because of its association with
the birth dates of Washington and
Lincoln, serves to emphasize our
American heritage. Never as
much as in this half-century year
of 1950 are we so conscious of
our national heritage in books.
In the face of threats to our way
of life we can well afford to set
aside time for a revaluation and
dramatization of books on Amer-

County Unit Suit
Due For Hearing
Friday, Feb. 24
The suit against Georgia’s coun¬
ty unit system, brought in Fed¬
eral Court by two Atlantians, has
been set for a preliminary hear¬
ing on motions to dismiss in the
District Court in Atlanta on Fri¬
day, February 24.
A 3-Judge Federal bench, com¬
posed of Judge Samuel H. Sibley,
Judge T. Hoyt Davis and Judge
M. Neil Andrews, will preside.
This is the fourth in a series
of efforts, which began under the
administration of Governor Ellis
Arnall, to overthrow Georgia’s
County-unit method of electing
officials. All others have been
nullified by either the General
Assembly or the Federal and
State Courts.
It is expected that attorneys
for the defense, headed by At¬
torney-General J. Eugene Cook,
will stress strongly a decision last
year of the United States Su¬
preme Court which, in effect, up¬
held the Unit System.
In a case brought before it from
Illinois, the Court ruled: “It is
allowable state policy to require
that candidates for state-wide of¬
fice should have support not
limited to a concentrated locality.
To assume that political power is
a function exclusively of numbers
is to disregard the practicalities
of government, thus, the Consti
tution protects the interest of the
smaller against the greater by
giving in the United States Senate
entirely unequal representation
to population. It would be strange
indeed, and doctrinaire, for this
court ... to deny a State the
power to assure a proper diffu¬
sion of political initiative as be¬
tween its thinly populated coun-
