ALDERMAN HITS SANDERS
ON HIGHWAY PRACTICES
Atlanta Alderman Rodney Cook
Friday accused the “Deerslayer” —
Gov. 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.

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.

Hiawassee Finds Clues
To Dogwood Axers
By Irvin McBraysr
Irate citizens are on the war¬
path in Hiawassee and all over
Tow^q County. The community
became aroused when vandals used
axes to chop down 25 of Hiawas
see’s scenic, I2-year-old dogwood
trees Monday night, a night when
the mercury plunged to 10 de¬
grees above zero there.
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

NEW YORK (AP) A burglar

in 24 hours, police said.
The three were seized Wednes¬
day night and all the loot was re¬
covered in their rooms.

$500 more than it would cost to
send a student to Harvard for the
entire school year and pay him
$50 a week during the summer va¬
cation, to boot.

'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.
