(Our Advertisess Are Assured Os Results)
The Federai Highway Ad
ministrator said that there had
been no FBI investigation of
highway matters in four of
the six states in which Mr.
Brinkley had charged that such
investigations nad been made.
He said that the presentation
of 'his interview with Mr.
Brinkley had been cut to omit
his mention of the many posi
tive steps that have been taken
to deter fruad and irregulari
ties in the highway program.
“Deletions of mention of our
specific constructive efforts
may ‘be editorial privilege, but
is hardly objective reporting.”
Mr. Whitton said. He branded
allegations that SIOO,OOO a mile
is 'being stolen in the Interstate
highway program as ‘“prepost
erous” and expressed the be
lief 'that “the public obtained
a completely misleading and
erroneous picture of the Fed
eral-aid highway program
from Mr. Brinkley's program.”
In Georgia, the State High~
way Board has written a pro
test to NBC which charges that
Brinkley's program re-publi
cized cases long closed without
mentioning that punitive action
has been taken, and that
Brinkley had, “by implication,
insinuation or innuendo” con
victed every individual con
nected with road building of
the same crimes. The Highway
Board supported Mr. Whitton's
attack on the absurdity of the
SIOO,OOO a mile theft charge
and expressed sorrow that “the
hitherto maintained standards
of truthfulness, fairness and
good programming displayed
by the National Broadcasting
Company should have been so
lowered as to throw suspicion
on the whole highway indus
try’s responsibility, capability,
and honesty.” _
From the highway industry,
the American Road Builders
Association has petitioned the
Federal Communications Com
mission to make a careful and
complete investigation of the
QOctober 1 program and to
take such action as may be in
the pulblic interest. ARBA al
so suggested to Representative
George H. Fallon (D.-Md.),
Chairman of the House Roads
Subcommittee, that Mr. Brink
ley be supoenaed to document
his charges before the House
Public Works Committee.
A number of highway offici
als from other states and rep
resentatives of the highway in
dustry have sent to Georgia
State Highway Engineer M., L.
Shadburn copies of letters pro
testing Mr. Brinkley’s October
1 program. All agreed that the
program had laid upon thou
sands the guilt of a relative
few, and was generally unfair
and harmful to the nation’s vi
tally important highway pro
gram.
The protesis were wunani
mous in denying the charge
that $190,000 a mile was be-
THE COVINGTON NEWS
ing stolen in the Interstate
Highway construction program
and in pointing up the com
plete absence of any report on
the self-policing efforts of the
national and state road build
ing organizations.

CAN A CHRISTIAN VOTE FOR
THE LEGAL SALE OF BEER?
There Is No Scriptural Command
Requiring Total Abstinence Os
The God Fearing Man Either In The
Old Testament Or New Testament
No one underesfimates the disastrous con
sequences that arise from the MISUSE
of Alcohol. We agree with the worst
pictures painted by reasonable men of
the havoc that MISUSE of Aiconol can
cause, BUT ulfimately we believe that
each Christian man must make the de
cision himself as so whether or nos he
will drink Alcoholic Beverages.
National Prohibition in the 190's proved
- that outlawing the Legal Sale of Alco
holic Beverages always causes MORE
problems than it solves.
