By JACK TROY
A Disturbing Situation
Thurman Sensing, who writes the well-read column Sens
ing the News, makes good sense in the following disserta
tion—
The administration made the tragic mistake of allowing
the war to be fought on the soil of our allies, instead of
carrying the war to North Vietnam. Despite the billions of
tution seeks to guarantee. Several public figures of the ad
ministration cloth have actually encouraged the social re
bellion that now causes massive upheavals in the nation’s
cities.
The environment of Liberalism that has been dominant
in the federal government since 1961 has given the demon
strator-hoodlum elements a feeling of great confidence.
They invaded the nation’s capital in late April and say they
will camp there until Congress meets their demands
A rabble of Vietniks and Black Power elements believes
that it can dictate to the U. S. government. Who can say
what will come from this rabble army of protesters that has
built a shanty-town between the Washington Monument
and the Lincoln Memorial? The British once burnt the cap
ital of the United States This time the deed of arson may
be perpetrated by the new anarchists who have been en
couraged by two recent administrations to believe that civil
disobedience is their right.
Never in its history has the United States been at such
a pass as it is today. The arsonist and the looter openly
threaten law-abiding people and entire communities. Urban
revolutionaries threaten to "burn" America if they do not
get their way.
If the United States does not get a change of leadership
next year, if civil disobedience is not repudiated and the
revolutionaries are not jailed, the future existence of the
Republic will be be in question. In the next election, the
American people may be deciding whether they went their
nation to survive as a free and peaceful land. “Law and Or
der” is by no means an empty phrase.

Braves Help Salute
Workers, Employers
The Atlanta Braves will join the Georgia
Department of Labor Tuesday, June 25, in saluting
young summer workers and the employers who hired
them.
It will be Youth Opportunity Night as the Braves
play host to the Philadelphia
Phillies at 8:05 p.m. The
Braves are donating 15,000
general admission tickets to
Georgia’s employers and their
summer employes below the
age of 22.
“This is our way and the
Braves’ way of expressing our
gratitude to those who are
participating in the annual
summer Youth Opportunity
Campaign,” said Labor
Commissioner Sam Caldwell.

our thanks for participating in
this worthwhile program.”
