Sanders — of turning his eyes and ears away from “misuse of public funds” by the State High¬ way Department. “How long does The Atlanta Journal have to continue exposing the questionable practices of the.... County contract operation before the governor will even acknowledge something is amiss?” he said. Mr. Cook, a Republican, said Gov. Sander** made a solemn promise to take highways out of politics 44 but how long, how long, do we have to wait?” “Is the Deerslayer so blinded by the lights from the great society or so deafened by the blasts of shot¬ guns that he hasn’t seen or heard of these daily exposes of misuse of public funds?” Over the past few months, Mr. Cook said, he, through the highway board, was making a sincere effort to correct “serious deficiencies” in the department. Instead, he said, the highway engineers have install¬ ed a calendar day system as a sub¬ stitute for the discredited ‘workday system.’ “Any 16-year-old child can see (this) is the same old thing, >» he said. Mr. Cook said the calendar day system for road contracts has beeft called “just a rose by another name” by a member of the highway board because it doesn’t require contrac¬ tors to speed up work.

All have a cordial , iuvdation, If We Must Fight, We Fight to Win The Editors: In The Atlanta Journal of Nov. 16 I read Joseph Alsop’s item that the acid test for our President has come in the Viet Nam war. Will he blunder this war like Truman did in Korea and Presi¬ dent Kennedy did ip Cuba? Before we were shadowed by the atomic bomb our citizens were willing for our boys to fight on foreign soil. We won two wars with honors. Now total war could come home to us all. Unless we have the courage to face a war at home like our boys did in foreign lands, then we do not deserve the freedom we now have. Somewhere we have got to make a firm stand while we have freedom soil to stand on. We can at least encourage our President in backing this serious war we are now faced with. If we are going to fight, let’s fight to win. In that way these poor boys who are fighting can have some courage to fight. F. M. ABEE Dahlonega. The Atlanta Journal.

Gainesville to Get $2 Million Grant WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 — The Urban Renewal Administration has approved a $2.7 million grant to Gainesville to redevelop the slum area that President Johnson visi¬ ted last spring. The agency said approval of the grant will permit a start on the 145-acre urban renewal project, called Southeast No. 1. The estimated total cost is $3.6 million. Gainesville’s share of the project cost is $909,796. On his tour of depressed Appa¬ lachia last May, Mr. Johnson mo¬ tored through the proposed urban renewal project area on his way to the Gainesville square. Pretty Girls, Pol Arrested in Hotel For Thefts NEW YORK (AP) A burglar team of two attractive girls and a man — with detectives watching them closely — stole $30,000 worth of cash and goods from 39 rooms in the fashionable Hotel St. Moritz in 24 hours, police said. The three were seized Wednes¬ day night and all the loot was re¬ covered in their rooms.

In Christmas New Zealand trees there’s one called “Christmas tree” that doesn’t need decorating — it blossoms with its own red flowers. The tree earned its name since it blooms in December and January, 'Correlative Duties' The Dean of the Yale Law School is fulfilling the scholar’s proper role of looking beyond immediate events to their meanings and pos¬ sible results. Reviewing the War¬ ren Report and related volumes, he states the need for further reform of American criminal procedures. He suggests that “Freident Ken¬ nedy’s tragic end might become a prod to progress we know to be long overdue.” In a lengthly article in Book Week he recalls that President Taft considered the administration of criminal justice in the United States a disgrace. Thirty years later the Wickersham Report said much the same thing. Meanwhile, and up to the present day, the Supreme Court has been “raising the stand¬ ards of due process of law in the state courts.” We join with Professor Rostow in his feeling that the task cannot be left to the court. Its job is not to make law but to interpret it. It should be joined by Congress in “affirmative action” to give “a large-scale impetus” to the reform movement, as the dean proposes. He recognizes, as do we, the ques¬ tion of states’ rights that might arise. There is a surviving friction between such views on the Consti¬ tution as those of Madison: “Assent and ratification is to be given by the people, not as individ¬ uals composing one entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent states to which they respectively belong.” And Marshall: “No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the states, and of compounding the American people into one common mass . . . But the measures they adopt do not, on that account, cease to be the measures of the people themselves, or become the meas¬ ures of the state governments. Taking tbe view that freedom 1 requires responsibility, we feel that Mr. Rostow clarifies the situation when he writes: “The articulation of national standards under the 14th Amendment to govern tbe ex¬ ercise of authority by the states does not deprive tile states of con¬ stitutional or of political rights. It simply matches those rights with correlative duties — duties they owe, under our coatitntional sys¬ tem, to ‘the people of the United; States,’ whose Constitution it is.”' Certainly in the administration of justice, as in other fields, states’ duties is a concept to be placed beside states’ rights. —Editorial in Chirstian Science Monitor. 1 PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION NOW.
