Many Bills Awaiting For
Governor's Signature
In the four weeks the Legislature has been in session there
have been 666 resolutions introduced. Most of the 459 Bills and
Resolutions inroduced in the House and the 207 introduced in
the Senate are “local bills.”
The governor has signed many local bills but signed into law
only four bills of state-wide ef-
feet. One of these is the out¬
lawing of the wearing of masks;
another to permit the construc¬
tion 'through bonds of a twelve

hospital at the University of
Georgia Medical School, and
eight million dollars worth of
facilities at 'the Milledgeville
State Hospital; permit cons¬
truction of a toll bridge to Je-
kyll Island and reapportion 'the
county units according to the
1950 census.
On the Governor’s desk ready
for his signture are the long-
sought municipal home rule
measure; the measure repealing
the Gholston Highway Formu¬
la and a bill increasing the Uni¬
versity System Building Author¬
ities bonding limit from $12,000-
000 to $20,000,000; a bill to grant
Superior Court Judges a $200 per
month subsistence; permit milk
producers and distributors to
vote themselves out from under
the Milk Control Board and to
add a storekeeper on the Board;
pay County Commissioners for
business trips outside the Coun¬
ty, to permit Notaries Public to
attest instruments — to name
some of state wide interest.
Passed by the Senate and
awaiting House action are bills
to create a state office building
authority; provide that local
constitutional amendments be
voted on only in counties af¬
fected; create an alcoholic hos¬
pital; the CEKLOR sponsored
measure to improve elections; a
constitutional amendment re-
act of 1949; create Civilian De-
fense; re-enact the soldier vote
law; modify the voter Registra-
tion Act ; grant a 52,000 annual
subsislence to Solicitors Gen-
eral; exempt growing crops and
household furnishings from
state and local taxation and cut
the state property tax
The House has passed and
sent to the Senate bills to enact
a 3% Sales Tax, reduce tax on
accounts r e c e i v a b le ; repeal
emergency tax hikes on cigar-
ettes, wine, beer and gasoline;
establish juvenile courts; grant
scholarships to develop “coun-
ty doctors to create again the
State Guard; authorize the

YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS
Eisenhower Sincerity
Impresses
On Thursday, February 1,
General Eisenhower reported to
members of the House and Se¬
nate on his momentous trip to
Europe. The simplicity and sin¬
cerity of the man were most
impressive.
In commenting on his own
role and that of the Congress
he said, and I quote, “I have no
end to - serve, as I know you have
no end to serve, except the good
of the United States and that is
the reason I am back in uni¬
form, and that is the reason I
have the courage to appear be¬
fore this body to express my
convictions. I am also aware of
the very great responsibilities
devolving upon you.”
Since the newspapers and ra¬
dio — commentators ............-......... have report
ed in detail what the General
said, I will attempt to empha-
size only those portions of his
report that seemed most im-
portant and most impressive.
In the first place the General
emphasized that if the free gov-
ernment of ... the world ., are to .
sur-
.v. tt ^ 01 i ,
mg with Western Europe in re-
sisting communism; for, as he i
said “alone and isolated in a
world dominated by communism
we would have to wither away.”
He was convinced that in Eu- j
rope there is a “rejuvenation of
a spirit to resist... to take the
risk. 1
In the second place he em-
phasized our responsibility in \
giving our European allies the
strengthening of the “regenera-
tion of morale’ which has grown j
and can grow into something
greater.
America Cannot Do
The Job Alone
™ The members of Congress
were impressed by and agreed
with the General in hb state-
ment tha America could not do
the job alone Our allies in Eu-
rope must do their share. It was
hn conclusion that .hey would
do their share and that with,
our encouragement and help.
the will to resist and their mo-
rale would be an ascending
sp i ra ■ :
As one Congressman ~ remarked j
to me as we left the Coolidge
Auditorium of the Library of L
Congress where the speech was
delivered, "It would be pretty
hard to vote against furnishing:
military aid and even troops lor
Europe after listening to the
General’s speech.”
However, members of Con-
v ess were relieved when the
General emphasized that the ;
furnishing of arms and equip-
ment was more important than
the sending of troops to Europe,
at this particular time.

The Methodist people in the
