Supreme Court
Hungry for Power,
Says Duckworth
Chief Justice W. H. Duckworth
of the Georgia Supreme Court
described the U. S. Supreme
Court Wednesday as “a power
hungry court which seldom must¬
ers better than a five-to-four deci¬
sion” in vital matters.
Speaking to about 90 new mem¬
bers of the Georgia Bar who were
admitted to practice before the
state Supreme Court and the Geor¬
gia Court of Appeals, Duckworth
said:
“To adopt blindly the view of
such a narrow majority as the
unchangeable law sacrifices the
wisdom of the four dissenting
justices.
“The Constitution absolutely
forbids ex-post facto laws, and
human freedom cries out against
them; yet we have recently wit¬
nessed the decision by five jus¬
tices in flagrant defiance of the
Constitution,- and the urgent
pleas of the minority of four, for
obedience to this clause of the
Constitution, making an act of
Congress retroactive.”
ence i This was an apparent refer¬
to the U. S. Supreme Court’s
Imost •Civil Rights Act of 1964 erasing
sit-in convictions.
Duckworth told the young at¬
torneys that the Bill of Rights in
the Constitution . . like the
Ten Commandments, is valid in
all ages and under all circumstan¬
ces. These rights are inalienable
and indestructible . . . They are
of equal dignity. Destruction of
any one of these rights endangers
all of them.”
The justice added that, “It is
either ignorance or dishonesty, or
both, for a court to trample on one
of these rights in order to preserve
another. They do not contradict
each other, but each stops precise¬
ly where to extend it would violate
another.”
He said, ‘The most serious
threat to our system of govern¬
ment today is the erosion of the
Constitution under the process of
judicial construction. »
The courts, he said, cannot alter
the Constitution by construction
nor can judges add or subtract
a single word. However, he added,
“Judges can deny rights conferred
by the Constitution by misconstru
ing it.”
Duckworth urged the lawyers
not “to remain indifferently si¬
lent when some court does violence
to the Constitution even in cases
where they are not directly in¬
volved because court decisions con¬
stitute precedents. . . .

Georgia Was Ready
GEORGIA pioneered with the
establishment of area planning and
development councils that now
cover much of the state. Appar¬
ently that progress will fit neatly
into the President’s economic op¬
portunities program.
What these councils have been
doing is basic. They have enabled
groupings of counties to join for¬
ces for self-study and economic
planning. The University of Georg
gia, through its Institute of Com¬
munity and Area Development,
has aided them,
President Johnson announced
Sunday that the university’s insti¬
tute will receive $29,194 under
the poverty program to help train
27 persons. They wUl help local
officials develop economic oppor¬
tunity programs.
The President also announced
seven grants, ranging from $10260
to $19,005, for community action
programs in Georgia. Most of these
grants went to the planning and
development commissions which
already were working on their
areas’ future.
Thus Georgia counties’ efforts
to lift themselves now are being
rewarded under a federal program
that did not exist when these coun¬
ties began to look ahead.
That is a kind of partnership we
are glad to see.
In Atlanta, the new Economic
Opportunities Authority already
was moving along with plans un¬
der the poverty program. It had
been designated for $1,080,000 in
federal funds in an earlier an¬
nouncement, The Atlanta authori¬
ty is attempting to be a pace¬
setter for the country, and its ini¬
tial efforts already are attracting
atttenion.
Georgia seems to be off on the
right foot with this program. The
reason is that, in Atlanta, city
and county officials moved quick¬
ly to start doing the job, and out
in the state the area development
commissions already were pion¬
eering on behalf of member coun¬
ties.

Woman Raped
At Office
In Washington
WASHINGTON — A
receptionist was beaten and
Friday in a first-floor office while
hundreds of persons were
to work in nearby office buildings.
The woman’s husband, a
ington policeman, was in one
the first police cars to arrive
the scene.
Police said the woman had just
unlocked the outside door to
office when she was grabbed from
behind, forced into the office,
beaten and raped. The attaeker, a
Negro in his early 20s, fled when
the woman’s cries alerted an em¬

PETE Soys:
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
What a tragedy is unfolding at
our Air Force Academy in the re¬
signations of dozens of upper class
cadets for cheating in exams. It
was bad enough for one of them
to steal the set of questions, and
for others in the plot to offer
them for sale. But the buyers, in
my estimation, were as guilty.
Some, perhaps, were influenced by
fears of not passing; some, were
top students. But all knew it was
wrong.
There’s much evidence of a
growing moral breakdown. The
honor system, used in many areas,
is being tested. Maybe it provides
too much temptation. One smart
teacher told' his class the test
would be conducted under that
system, but asked the students to
place themselves three seats apart
and m alternate rows,
ytaurs truly, $
PINEY WOODS PETE jf
Atlanta Journal:
To Reapportion,
Alter Constitution
The Editor: A high legal source
has been quoted in the press re¬
cently as saying that a new state
Constitution cannot be submitted
to the voters of Georgia until the
November election in 1966. This,
I believe, is erroneous. The Con¬
stitution of 1945 was ratified in a
special election held on August
7, 1945.
It is true that the Constitution
of 1945 provides that “any pro¬
posed amendment” shall be sub¬
mitted to the people at the next
general election. The Constitution
also provides that “when more
than one amendment is submitted
at the same time, they shall be
so submitted as to enable the vot¬
ers to vote on each amendment
separately.” These provisions, how¬
ever, are applicable to the submis¬
sion of individual amendments, not
to the submission of a new consti¬
tution.
I see no authority for the Gen¬
eral Assembly to reapportion the
House of Representatives by or¬
dinary legislation. This is contrary
to the whole theory of constitution¬
al government. The General As¬
sembly does have authority either
to call a constitutional convention,
or to revise the provisions of the
proposed new constitution dealing
with representation in the House
and submit the new constitution
to a vote of the people in a special
election.

Heart Fund Drive For
White Co. Organized
In February
Mr. J. H. Warner, Jr. of Cleve¬
land, Chairman of the 1965 Heart
Fund drive in White County, re¬
leased the names of volunteers
who will lead the drive in White
County. The 1965 Heart Fund
drive wHl open on February 25.
Harold Burnett, White County
Heart Chairman, and Dr. George
Tolhurst form the planning com¬
mittee. Mrs. Linda Brown will be
the treasurer. Reverend Frank
Ruff is in charge of publicity, and
Robert Hefner will arrange special
events to highlight the heart fund
drive. Boy Satterfield is the busi¬
ness chairman and Hope Camp¬
bell is Heart Sunday chairman.
Community chairmen include:
Mrs. Claude Bristol, Helen-Roberts
town; Mrs. C. E. Wright, Nacoo
chee-Sautee; Koy Powers, Blue
Creek; Mrs. E. D. McKay, White
Creek; Mrs. J. V. Pardue, Jr,
Mossy Creek; Mrs. Lester West,
Shoal Creek; Hoyt Alien, Blue
Ridge; and Mrs. Norman Dorsey,
Oak Springs.
Mr. Warner, who has had ex¬
tensive experience in this type
of community activity in Atlanta,
is confident that this group of
volunteers will lead White County
to do its part in fighting against
heart diseases. These diseases in¬
clude heart attack, stroke, high
blood pressure, hardening of the
arteries, rheumatic fever, inborn
heart defects, and cause 54 percent
of aH deaths in this country,
