By JOSEPH H. BAIRD
Georgia Press Association
ATLANTA — It is an old
story to say that during the
last decade or two Georgia has
shifted rapidly from an agri
cultural to an industrial state.
But while most readers know
that is true they probably
don’t realize the extent to
which the average Georgian’s
prosperity, even livelyhood, is
dependent on manufacturing
and trade.
For example, back in 1950,
according to data of the At
lanta Federal Reserve Bank,
320.000 Georgians were em
ployed on farms and 787,000 in
non-farm jobs such as manu
facturing, transportation, ser
vices and trade. In 1959, near
ly a decade later, farm employ
ment has dropped to 197.000,
but non-farm jobs had zoom
ed up to 1,007.000.
So Gov. Vandiver’s Confer
ence on Trade and Commerce,
which will meet May 21-23 at
the Atlanta Biltmore Hotel, is
not just a gathering of big
businessmen to discuss their
own selfish interest. If it suc
ceeds in its purpose of stimu
lating Georgia’s trade, both do
mestic and foreign, it will
mean more and probably bet
ter-paid jobs in industry and
trade as well as more money
in the pockets of townspeople
to buy the farmers’ products.
The conference is being
sponsored by 48 Georgia orga
nizations, of which the Geor
gia Press Association is one.
The Hon. Edward Gudeman. U.
S. Undersecretary of Com
merce, will lead a list of prom
inent speakers, and a group of
influential Northern industria
lists have been invited as
guests.
Statistics can be dull if the
reader is asked to gulp them
in indigestible quantities. But
a few of them, which the writ
er has tried to choose judici
ously, will show how the pros
perity of the average Georgian
is increasingly dependent on ;
trade.
During the last decade, for- I
tunately, Georgia farm income
has mounted, increasing from
5467.000,000 in 1949 to $723.-
000,000 in 1959. This is true
despite the fact that according
to the U. S. Census Bureau
Georgia lost 48,000 farms be
tween 1954 and 1959 and that
farm employment is down. The
rise is explained by the fact
that small farms are being
combined into larger units,
more efficiently using agricul
tural machinery, and that there
has been a shift from bulk
crops such as cotton and corn
to poultry, cattle and diversi
fied crops.
But during that same decade
whep farm income was increas
ing about 50 per cent, the value
added by manufacturing in
Georgia plants rose from sl,-
001,000.000 in 1949 to $2,088.-
000.000 in 1958, or more than
100 per cent.
During the past year, 1960,,
according to the Census Bu
reau, 335,500 workers in ap
proximately 6,000 Georgia
plants turned out $2,500,000,-
000 worth of goods on an “ad
ded value” basis.
As a manufacturing state,
Georgia is getting into the
“big leagues”. Few Georgians
think of foreign trade as being
very important to the state.
Yet, according to U. S. Com
merce Department figures,
Georgia led the entire South
east last year in its increase of
foreign trade, which rose 23
per cent, including a 50 per
cent gain in exports.
In terms of actual dollars,
the ports of Savannah and
Brunswick and Atlanta airport
shipped abroad goods worth
$130,300,000 and brought in
from foreign countries $102,-
300,000 worth of imports.
Most people still think of
foreign trade in terms of ships,
but planes are carrying an in-
I creasing share of it, even such
I heavy commodities as parts for
; machinery that are needed in
!an emergency. Many big cor
porations like General Motors,
Ford and General Electric keep
large stores of spare parts in
Atlanta and often are asked to
rush them by air to customers
in Latin-America and even Eu
rope.
Eastern, Delta. TWA and
Northwest Airlines are all en
gaged in foreign trade and fly
cargoes in and out of Atlanta
airport, which is assuming an
increasing role in the state’s
foreign trade.
The Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce is working actively
to have the Federal govern
ment designate Atlanta as an
official “international” airport
with full facilities for customs,
public health and immigration
clearance.
Trade — foreign as well as
domestic —is a part of Geor
gia’s economic life-blood.
Unemployment
Drops To
5.0 Millions
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Un
employment dropped about sea
sonally to 5.0 million by mid-
April, Secretary of Labor Ar
thur J. Goldberg announced.
The jobless total was down
about 500,000 from March.
However, it was still 1.3 mil
lion higher than in April last
year. The seasonally adjusted
rate of unemployment, at 6. 8
percent, remained without sig
nificant change for the fifth
consecutive month.
These are summary figures,
Mr. Goldberg’s announcement
noted. The regular monthly re
port on the labor force will be
published May 11, with addi
tional data on the employment
situation.
Although unemployment de
clined in April, the number out
of work 15 weeks or longer
rose more than seasonally to a
postwar high of 2.1 million.
Among the lone - term unem
ployment were 900,000 without
jobs for more than half a year.
Total employment edged up
to 65.7 million in April but was
400,000 below a year ago. Non
agricultural employment in
creased about seasonally but
the usual spring pickup in farm
work was delayed because of
bad weather. Three million
nonfarm workers were employ
ed part time for econcmic rea
sons. about the same number
as the month before.
About 85 grizzlies, or about
two apiece for each of the li
r?nsed guides, are taken yearly!

"Festival 250"
For Early July
“Indianapolis moves to At
lanta for a week when the
full-size speedway cars and
drivers compete on the Atlan -
ta International Raceway in
the first annual Festival 250,”
reported Raceway President
Nelson Weaver this week.
“Following the tremendous
success of the recent Atlanta
500 stock car race, there is no
doubt w e are well on our
way,” Mr. Weaver added, “and
we have adopted an annual
three-race schedule that will
hold through the years.”
The next race for the world’s
fastest 1 1/2-mile oval, locat
ed on the South Expressway in
Hampton, Ga., will be the
250-mile racing classic feat
uring the same cars and drivers
who compete in the Memorial
Day Indianapolis classic. Prac
tice starts July 2.
“Racing experts agree this
will be the most . important
stop on the ‘Championship
Trail’, second only to the In
dianapolis classic in distance,
anticipated prize money and
importance,” the Raceway
President continued.
“The dual purpose dirt track
speedway-type cars have been
popular in Atlanta for many
years, and now the fans can
see the actual Indianapolis
cars and drivers in action on
our 1 1/2-mile asphalt oval,”
he added.
The Atlanta International
Raceway schedule has been
permanently established with
three major events each year,
the Atlanta 500 stock car race
in March (Sunday, March 25,
1962); the Festival 250 for In
dianapolis speedway cars and
drivers Sunday July 9 and the
Dixie 300 stock car champion
ship Sunday, September 17.
The Dixie 300 had originial
ly been scheduled for June,
