McBRYARBROTHERS Trenton • Georgia Rights For Negro Urged By Arnall LOUISVILLE, Ky—Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia said here eco¬ nomic equality for the Negro is a right which should not be de¬ nied him and is much more im¬ portant than social equality. “What the hell difference does it make- if you sit down and eat with Negroes, visit with them in their homes, talk with them,” he asked. “That just means that they have something to eat, that they have a home, that they have had enough education to carry on a conversation. “The important thing for the Negroes is not social equality but economic equality—the right to work and earn a decent living so that he will have enough to cat, a good home and a good education.” The governor insisted he did not favor “breaking down any of the customs set up in the South” but did believe that equal eco¬ nomic opportunities for the Ne¬ gro in Georgia would be necess¬ ary to assure the well-being of the state as a whole__The Chat¬ tanooga Times.
