Rucssell Says
SAVANNAH, Ga., May 15 (AP)
— Sen. Richard B. Russell voiced
Friday his intention to run for re
election in 1966 and said he had
heard the rumoT that Gov. Sanders
may offer as a candidate.
n I’ll run again in 1966, the Lord
willing,” said Russell in an inter¬
view after an address to Savannah
civic clubs in Armed Forces Day
observances.
“There’s a lot of life left in
me yet,” the Georgia Democrat
added. *
Senator Russell is one of the
most able men of our generation,
uud is also a powerful lawyer and
the best parliamentarian in the
Congress. He knows more about
the problems of our government
than ANY living person.
Georgia and the nation is bless¬
ed to have Richard B. Russell in
the U. S. Senate. Georgia will
keep him there.

Menace to 1
The Free Press
II A free press is free only so long
as it is free from Hie interference
of government.”
The words are those of Stanford
Smith, general manager of the
American Newspaper Publishers
Association. He added, “Unfortu¬
nately, in these days of complex
newspaper operations, government
can interfere with a free press
without the necessity of license.
The newspaper business can be sub¬
jected to pressures not anticipated
by the Constitution."
The free press has been destroyed
in nation after nation in modern
times. And, as Mr. Smith empha¬
sized, the U. S. government has
taken certain steps in the same
direction. A salient example is a
market news service which the De¬
partment of Agriculture started last
August. It operates in direct compe¬
tition with private news agencies.
All contracts for the service are
continually subject to the approval
of the Department, and it can can¬
cel them whenever it so pleases.
In other “words, it has full power
of censorship, and the service can
' be used as an instrument of
government propaganda.
THIS IS just one more proof of
the fact that big government is
the enemy of freedom. We don’t
live under dictatorship yet But
we have been moving, step by step,
in that direction. And only an in¬
formed and aroused public can put
a halt to the ominous trend.

$40 Million In
State Funds Required
For Highway Program
ATLANTA, May 14 — State
Highway Director Jim L. Gillis
today praised President Johnson’s
program to combat poverty in
Georgia’s mountain region, but em¬
phasized that it will require some
$40,000,000.00 in additional State
matching funds to carry out the
Highway Department’s share of
program.
“A vital part of this program is
the construction of new highways
and feeder routes to make the
region more accessible to economic
development. These roads will be
built with Federal and State
funds, and it is estimated that it
will require some $40 million in
State matching funds above and
beyond the current Federal aid
programs to carry out the develop¬
ment of this mountain network,’’
Mr. Gillis said.

Terrible because of an aching back,
says a Soviet anthropologist who
studied the infamous 16th century
Russian emperor’s bones. Ivan’s
skeletal structure indicates he had
a disease that makes it difficult to
stand or bend over and may have
been responsible for the towering
rages which made life miserable
for his subjects.
Pres. Andrew Johnson
Believed Civil Rights
To be Power Gimmick
President Andrew Johnson ve¬
toed the Civil Rights Bills in the
1860’s and his comments on these
bills of one hundred years ago also
apply to the bill pending now.
Here is part of what he said ta
one of his veto messages to the
Congress:
// In all our history, no such sys¬
tem as that contemplated by the
details of this bill has ever before
been proposed or adopted. They
establish for the security of the
colored race safeguards which go
infinitely beyond any that the
general government has ever pro¬
vided for the white race. In fact,
the distinction of race end color,
is, by the Bill, made to operate
in favor of the colored and against
the white race. They Interfere with
the municipal regulations of the
States, with the relations existing
exclusively between a State and
its citizens, or between inhabitants
of the same State — an absorp¬
tion and assumption of power by
the general government which, if
acquiesced in, must sep and de¬
stroy our Federative system of
limited powers, and break down
the barriers which preserve the
rights of the States. It is another
step, or rather stride, to central¬
ization and the concentration of all
legislative power in the national
government."
Civil Rights Bill
Discriminates Against
White Population
In one speech, Sen. Robert C.
Byrd, D-W.Va., charged that the
administration rights bill was
“largely a product of the threats
and fears that have accompanied
demonstrations.”
“The so-called civil rights bill
will not accord any new civil
rights to anyone, but . . . will be
the according of prefenterial
treatment to non-whites, especially
in the hiring, firing, and promotion
of emplayees,” Byrd said.
His Majesty
England’s King James I, an un¬
remitting opponent of smoking,
once wrote anonymously: “A cus¬
tom loathsome to the eye, hateful
to the nose, harmful to the brain,
dangerous to the lungs, and in the
black stinking fume thereof, near¬
est resembling the horrible Stygian
smoke of the pit that is bottom¬
less.”

When Things
Go Wrong
When things go wrong, as they
sometimes will,
When ithe road you’re trudg¬
ing seems all up hill,
And you want to smile, but you
and have to sigh,
"When care is pressing you
down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you
quit.
—Life is queer with its twists and
turns,
As every one of us sometimes
learns,
As many a failure turns about
When he might have won had
■he stuck it out;
So don’t give up, 'though the
pace seems slow —
For you may succeed with another
blow.
—Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering
man,
Often the Straggler has
given up,
When he might have captured the
victors’ cup.
And he learned too late, when
the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden
crown.
—Success is failure, turned inside
out —
The silver tint of the clouds
of doubt —
And you never can tell how close
you are,
It may be nearer when it
seemed afar;
So stick and fight — when you're
hardest hit —
It’s when things seem worst
That you musnH quit!

Postal Chief Laments
Mail Delivery Slips
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 11
(UPI) — Postmaster General John
A. Gronouski is concerned about
the scattered lapses in postal
service which he said have given
a blade eye to the entire system.
“I know that we are handling
70 billion pieces of mail and that
the missent or delayed letters
represent a tiny fraction of the
total,” Gronouski said. “But when
a letter goes astray or arrives late,
all the good things done by the
postal system . . . are obliterated
in the minds of that letter’s re¬
cipient and sender."
