SMALL PAPERS CLOSER
TO THE PEOPLE
MR. SABATH: No, I will be per¬
fectly candid. I think the country
newspapers, these small papers, are
nearer to the people than pome of the
big newspapers and especially those
magazines consisting of 200 and 300
pages where fully 70 perewt of the
publication consists of high-priced little read
paid advertising and very spend great
mg matter. Frequently to I find a article
deal of time trying magazines an to en¬
in some of these thing I
lighten me, but the only can
find is advertising, more advertising,
and additional advertising. So you do
St jgifh have the to people be alarged- pf’tfie l country am always 6«s
l °These little public papers, than I some think, of are the
closer to the to be speak
big newspapers who seem advocat¬
ing for the big interests and
ing their cause in general because of
the advertising that comes to those
papers from big concerns ’who spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars a
year Naturally, the big newspapers all tltet ad
are big business, too, and
vertismg does not make them un
friendly to their fellow businessmen.
That,'I hope, explains my position.— June 5,

talmadge hits latest
fede ral power-grab try
ATLANTA, — (GPS) U. S.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy’s latest
tempt to force integration of
schools brought harsh criticism
Georgia’s Sen. Herman E. Talmadge,
long an outspoken critic of federal'
government branches which seek
to ursup power not prescribed un
der the law.
In his latest move in this field
the attorney general, through the
Justice Department, filed suit in U.
S. District Court in Richmond, Va.,
seeking to outlaw racial discriminat¬
ion in schools attended by chil¬
dren of federal employees at a big
Army base in Virginia.
The schools receive federal aid
as an “impacted area.” The federal
suit — the first of its kind — could,
if upheld by the court, eventually
affect federally assisted school dis¬
tricts in 17 Southern and border
states which have received about
$106.4-million in government aid
during the past fiscal year.
Immediately following the filing
of the suit, Sen. Talmadge issued
this formal statement:
“Congress on three separate oc¬
casions has refused to grant the Jus¬
tice Department authority to file
school integration suits and this ac¬
tion is a flagrant attempt by the
attorney general to usurp that pow¬
er through judicial fiat. >»
DOWER RIGHT PROVIDES
FOR WIDOW
Provided by the Atlanta Bar Asso¬
ciation as a public service.
Dower is one method whereby
the law attempts to assure that a
widow and her children will be pro¬
vided for on the death of her hus¬
band and their father. In the early
common law, the widow was en¬
titled for her lifetime to one-third
of all the lands which her nusband
owned in fee simple during their
marriage. The right of dower which
a wife expected to take on her hus¬
band’s death often made it imposs¬
ible for the couple to sell any of
their lands, as no one would pur¬
property knowing that when
husband died his widow would
entiled to one-third of the pro¬
And the wife could not sell
dower rights prior to her hus¬
band’s death.
Georgia has modified the old com¬
mon law rules in an attempt to
provide protection for the wife,
while at the same time making it
easier for a married couple to sell
their property. The widow in Geor¬
gia is now entitled to one-third of
all of the real property which her
husband owned at the time of his
death. But if the real property is
subject to a mortgage (technically,
a bill of sale to secure debt), the
widow cannot claim a one-third in¬
terest in the value of her late hus¬
band’s equity of the amount he had
paid for the property—unless she
offers to pay off the remainder of
the debt with her own funds.
But the widows right to dower
does not automatically accrue—she
must apply for it to the Superior
Court in the county where the land
is located within seven years from
the date of her husband’s death, or
her right is forever barred. Although
the law provides that the
may sell the life estate given her by
dower, it is probable that its money
value will not be large, as the pur¬
chaser can hold the property only
so long as the widow lives.
