GUY LINES
BY GUY BUTLER
Ouch! That Hurt!
“Old Hummon!” Hehasn’tlost
his penchant for grabbing off
■—<□ the headlines.
Os course the
whole rassle
about Ms run-
Mng for gover
nor proved to
be a false a*
larm. Whether
he had any
serious Inten-
I tlons or not
about giving up
Ms senate seat
to return to state politics is a
question.
In any event, It was quite
farcical. And It didn’t help Her
man a bit with his constituents
and probably will do some dam
age to the Democratic Image
In this state.
The GOP, with an ace in Bo
Callaway, slapped its pachyder
mal side with glee— that the
Democratic party had begun
to panic and had to call upon
its “ star pitcher” to pull them
out of a deep, dank hole.
But the ruse backfired.
Roy Harris, former speaker
of the Georgia House, com
mented that they had wrecked
the Democratic Party of the
state. Many others feel that,
If they haven’t wrecked It, at
least they have dealt It a vici
ous wallop— certainly for this
year’s gubernational campaign.
Let us hope Mr. Talmadge will
now settle down to his job as a
U. S. Senator, representing
Georgia, and leave the home
politics to others.
He should have known all
the time that with Ms nearly
ten years of seniority In the
senate and the almost certain
retirement of the elderly Sen.
Russell within a year or two
Ms place Is in Washington, not
Atlanta.
As for the gubernatorial mix
up, It probably will simmer
down soon with Ellis Arnall as
the leading Democratic figure,
opposed by Lester Maddox and
maybe a couple of others. From
all appearances Bo Callaway
will officially enter the line
up In opposition. In that event
the outlook Is Mr. Arnall and
Mr. Callawqy In the finals.
The Democrats are not
embarrased with Arnall as their
standard-bearer. He Is a man
remembered by many as one of
the most efficient governors
In the state’s history. He left
the office with a reputation for
cleanliness and Integrity and
nobody has been able to sling
any mud In his direction over
what he did In the state’s No.
1 seat.
Arnall is an able leader for
his party and no matter how
highly Callaway Is regarded
he can look for a stern battle
from the Newnan entry; Indeed,
it very likely will be neck and
neck all the way and It would
be foolhardy to predict Ar
nall’s defeat this far In ad
vance.
To Tie certain Callaway has
tremendous appeal. Being
young, vigorous, clean-cut, le
vel-headed and not financially
ambitious (with all the money
the Callaway family possesses)
he offers a terrific threat to
Democratic supremacy.
The last national election pro
jected Georgia a long way into
the two-party column. Dislike
for Johnson and his arm-twist
ing tactics, together with the
strong attraction (to Souther
ners) of Barry Goldwater and
Ms principles, propelled Geor
gia into the Republican column
for the first time. But it will
not be the last.
And people of Georgia will
be the gainers from tMs long
needed turMng of the worm.

Lake City Offered SI,OOO On
Four -Laning, Mayor Says
CITY OF LAKE CITY
GUY BUTLER, EDITOR
FOREST PARK NEWS
1007 CENTRAL AVENUE
FOREST PARK, GA.
DEAR SIR:
The Lake City Council met with the Clayton County Commissioners and the Forest Park City
Council at the Forest Park City Hall at a meeting called by the County for the purpose of discuss
ing the proposed four-lane Mghway, 96% of wMch is in Forest Park and 4% in Lake City.
It was officially agreed by the Lake City Council to make an offer of SI,OOO at tMs meeting for
our share In said Mghway and announced tMs offer through our attorney, Kenneth Kilpatrick. We
took the iMtlatlve In the matter although the City of Lake City has the lesser property Involved
in the right-of-way.
Prior to the Forest Park meeting, the mayor of Lake City attended a meeting of the County
Commissioners and Forest Park ctty officials In Jonesboro at the Courthouse at wMch time no
proposals were made by any of the three governments involved. The last commuMcatlon that the
city officials of Lake City have had from either of the other two governments involved was the
joint meeting held In Forest Park. Since that date we have had no word from the County or Forest
Park as to new proposals or progress on the project.
The City officials of Lake City have always met their responsibilities and obligations with prompt
and sincere action. In our oplMon, the recent delay In negotiations between the three local govern
ments Is nothing short of a lack In commuMcatlons between the Clayton County Commissioners
and the city officials of Forest Park.
Yours truly,
FRANK ORR. MAYOR
