Building, Macon, will send you a booklet “Our Flag” if you’ll drop them a note Sound Public Policy The wages paid for a similar kind of work have always varied in different parts of the country. This is natural and necessary. The cost of living, for instance, in a metropolis such as New York is much higher than in a small com¬ munity ip the South. But one section of the Civil Rights Bill, in the form passed by the House, would seem to eliminate area wage differentials. It specifies that it shall be an unlawful practice “to discriminate against any indi¬ vidual with respect to his compen¬ sation, terms, conditions, or privi¬ leges of employment because of suleh individual’s race, color, re¬ ligion, sex or national origin.” There is nothing in this state¬ ment which limits the described unlawful discrimination with re¬ spect to compensation to an estab¬ lishment. And without such a limi¬ tation, it seems clear that wage rates in different plants or estab¬ lishments in different parts of the country may be subject to forced equalization. It is worth noting that the Equal Pay Bill which was enacted last June said: “No employer hav¬ ing employees subject to any pro¬ vision of this section shall dis¬ criminate within any establishment in which such employees are em¬ ployed . . .” That phrase, “within any establishment”, is of the ut¬ most importance. It recognizes the fact that nationwide wage equa¬ lization would be totally unwork¬ able, and would be definitely against the public interest. The current problem, so far as the revelent section of the Civil Rights Bill is concerned, can be simply solved. That can be done by adding the words “within any es¬ tablishment” in the places where they are needed. This is not just a technicality. It involves, instead, a matter of sound public policy.

Phil Landrum to be his eral in the war on poverty. demanded to know why the Presi¬ dent picked a conservative Geor¬ gian to push a liberal bill in Con¬ gress. Mr. Johnson phrased his reply bluntly; he did it because he wanted the damn bill passed. Experience has taught President Johnson that good intentions alone do not pass social legislation. Neither does social legislation automatically produce good resuts. Success of the poverty program will depend on whether the Johnson Landrum belief in practicality ex¬ tends from the halls of Congress to the actual application of the program. * * * * Experience has been a rich teacher. For instance, the ARA and APW programs have been valuable in developing depressed areas and in creating crash employment. But loose legislation and application channeled some of the federal money into the self-defeating con¬ struction of court houses in Geor¬ gia counties, some of which could have served their citizens better by consolidating instead of apply¬ ing for a new court house apiece. That was money spent with the right idea, but for the wrong pose. Artificial perpetuation of a broke government protracts a cost¬ ly tax burden on citizens for whom economic help was intended. Rep. Landrum showed a clear eye for the practical Monday in his comments to a Constitution task force reporting on Appalachia. A county like Dawson needs access roads, he said. Only when industry can get there can it bring capital there. The Appalachia bill could bring roads to the mountains for industry and tourism. But what about training right now for young people who are growing up in Appalachian regions that can offer them no jobs? That is where the Job Corps comes in under the anti-poverty bill, said Rep. Landrum. Put those youngs¬ ters into training schools on old military bases and teach them skills so they can get work and get out of poverty. * The baic idea is so right that the legislation is clearly needed. But application of the Appalachia bill will also have to be practical, building roads for clear needs, or boondoggling can sap it. And the part of the anti-poverty bill making federal loans and grants available to farmers can turn into a throwaway subsidy per¬ petuating inefficiency and poverty if the money is piled onto every poor palm as a dole, instead of be¬ ing advanced with hardheaded practicality only to the man with a workable plan. If the President’s legislative so¬ phistication carries over into execu¬ tive tough mindedness in this field, he will get something done about poverty. — Atlanta Constitution. Roman Models Threaten To Picket In the Nude ROME, May 23 (AP)— The models at the Italian Fine Arts Academy in Rome were threaten¬ ing today to undress in public in a new kind of labor agitation. To show they meant business, one of them took her dress off yesterday and walked in her under¬ garments through Roman streets with a placard that said: “We are ready to undress in public strike if necessary.” The models would strip in future strikes — and perhaps take off more than their dresses. THE GIRLS have been staging sporadic one-day strikes for the past month. They want a guaran¬ teed monthly salary, social security benefits, and paid vacations. They are now paid about $1.10 an hour. They work three or four hours a day but sometimes go weeks without work. IftilTOITAi A Jl Impressed With People In White County , , . Area Redevelopment Administration Georgia Center, Athens, Ga.

DOWNS, Field Coordinator, East Georgia, Landrum Sees Opening Of Appalachians To All JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — U. S. Rep. Phil Landrum of Jasper, Ga., said Monday that President Lyndon B. Johnson’s antipoverty program means the days of quiet retreat in the Appalachian Moun¬ tains appear to be numbered. A vast federal road building program will open the isolated valleys and mountains to the mas¬ ses, the Georgia Democrat told members of the Georgia Highway Contractors Association. Landrum, who is sponsoring Johnson’s antipoverty legislation in the House, said 2,300 miles of pri¬ mary arteries will be provided on a 50-50 cost basis with Appalachian states. In addition, 500 miles of con¬ nector roads leading to the re¬ motest mountain reaches will be reconstructed, he said. Testimony I Of Good Training Cleveland, Georgia May 25, 1964 Mr. James P. Davidson, Editor, h Cleveland, Ga., Courier Dear Sir: In these days of such concern over the behaviour of our young people and alarm over the large number of drop-outs from high school, it should be a matter of great satisfaction to our community to learn that many of the 1964 graduates from White County High School are planning to continue their education. The White County Key Club, which is sponsored by the Cleve¬ land Kiwanis Club, had six seniors among the 25 members for the school year now closing. The fact that all six of these boys will go to some college in the fall is thought to be a remarkable record and signal evidence of the caliber of boys making up this organization as well as their scholastic training. These six seniors and the schools they have chosen are: John Black — N. Ga. Technical and Vocational School. Michael Black — Georgia Insti¬ tute of Technology. Jerry Cantrell — Truett-McCon nell Jr. College. Donnie Caudell — Truett-McCon nell Jr. College. Charles Hood — University of Georgia. Kenneth Shelnut — Truett-Mc Connell Jr. College. Cleveland, Helen, and White County are proud of them. — Edgar Everhart, Jr., Chairman, Key Cub Committee, Cleveland Kiwanis Club.
