as follows: Cash — $25,464,375.03.
Food $13,932,029.08. Surplus
properties — $15,105,806.17. White
County received $19,850.05 of this

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR -
Dear Mr. Editor
One of the fine pockets of his¬
tory in our State is
Valley and surroundings. Any
Georgian who has traveled to
New England, Pennsylvania or Vir¬
ginia, cannot help but wonder
why Georgia, one of the orginal
13 States, compares poorly to these
other Slates in terms of properly
kept landmarks. Only your area
and a few others have remnants of
our heritage remaining. Certainly
we must not destroy any more of
the sparse crop of fine old build¬
ings.
Of course, I am speaking here
of the Courthouse in Cleveland.
You can never replace it. If it
must be abandoned, so be it, but
do not remove it.
Your neighbor, Clarksville, made
a mistake in removing the Park
from the City Square. Is Cleve¬
land going to make an even more
horrible mistake?
Sincerely,
Preston Stevens, Jr.
Architect, A.I.A., Member
Society of Architectural Histori¬
ans.
A Delicate Balance
In recent years the United
States Supreme Court has moved
zealously to protect «ie rights of
the criminally accused. But in
the opinion of many charged with
combating crime, the court has
gone too far. They are convinced
that court decisions have unrea¬
sonably restricted efforts to bring
criminals to heel.
Officials are troubled by increas¬
ing legal difficulties encountered
or anticipated in preliminary de
tenton of suspects, the making of
arrests, procuring evidence by
search and seizure, getting con¬
fessions from suspects through
interrogation, and obtaining
using information by employing
wire tap.
Prosecutors and investigators
point to a pressing need for new
and better tools with which to
combat a mounting crime rate,
and increase in violence, and the
growth of vast empires of profes¬
sional crime. Rather than getting
the new tools which they regard
as essential, they argue that court
decisions have increasingly de¬
prived them of some of the more
effective tools they once had.
Those, on the other hand, whose
primary concern is civil liberties,
have been greatly heartened by
recent Supreme Court decisions
buttressing the right and remedies
of the accused. They applaud them
as reinforcing the common law
maxim that a man is innocent until
proved guilty, as supporting the
constitutional provision of proce¬
dural due process, and as combat¬
ing secret interrogation, police
burtality, and forced confessions.
They hail them as offering a bul¬
wark to the right of privacy, a pro¬
tection to the poor, and a means
of relief for the unjustly convic
ted.
The need, surely, is to strike a
reasonable balance—to give police
enough authority to do the job and
yet to limit authority sufficiently to
curb police excesses.
We believe that no specific deci
sion of the Supreme Court on he
half of the rights of the accused
has seriously impaired legitimate
efforts at law enforcement. We
wonder, however, if greater enforce-1 em- 1
phasis by the court on law
ment needs would not help to
maintain the delicate balance be
tween liberty and authority and
between the rights of the accused
and those of society.
We need to remember that the
obligation to maintain a balance
does not belong alone to the
courts. Congress and state legisla¬
tures bear heavy responsibility.
While certainly no easy task, we
are convinced that legislation can
be framed whereby to permit effec¬
tive law enforcement without seri¬
ously impairing the rights of the
accused. We hope that legislators,
availing themselves of the best
thought of the bar association, will
move deliberately but resolutely to
find appropriate solutions to this
problem which affects so directly
both the strength and freedom of
American society.

Monitor
England Warned
Of Money Peril
EDINBURG, Ofcotland — The
governor of the Bank of England
has warned the government to trim
its financial sails and curb expendi¬
tures before “every family in the
land” is faced with severe hard¬
ship. i
The Earl of Cromer told a ban
puet of Scottish bankers that Bri- *
tain had been given temporary
respite through short-term credits
from a consortium of 11 central
banks. But he emphasized that this 1
was temporary.
Lord Cromer acknowledged that
the government was faced with
many long-term problems but he
warned, “Our present situation
does not allow us to await on the
results of these much needed evo¬
lutionary developments.” He add*
ed:
“We have to act early to restore
balance in our affairs to avoid the
need for continual resort to our
friends abroad for succor out of
their reserves of good husbandry.”
Britain’s problem, he said, is
that she is living beyond her
means. The government must
“show moderation in those activi¬
ties at home which could be de¬
ferred without hardship to make
room for the more essential and
we must, too, relate financially un
rremunerative expenditure overseas
no what we can afford.”
Lord Cromer did not define
these home activities or the over¬
seas expenses but he was believed
to be referring to the Labor gov¬
ernment’s social welfare program
and foreign defense commitments.
He said that an enescapable re¬
sponsibility on receiving aid from
members of the western financial
consortium is for the borrower
“to put his house in order at the
earliest reasonable moment . . .
This is a situation that now faces
us at the present time . . . »
Britain, he said, must “earn yet
more abroad now to redeem at
maturity the additional financial
obligations we have incurred.”
“If at home,” Lord Cromar
said, “government, central and lo¬
cal, subordinates the cost in terms
of money to other considerations i*
an attempt to meet the desires as
well as the needs of the citizen
in a very demanding world, and if
government, too, maintains or en¬
gages in overseas commitments
which impose year by year ever
increasing cost in terms of money
with insufficient regard to the na¬
tion’s earning performance, then
one day there has to be a reckoning
with the rest of the world in terms
of money.”
Britain, he said, came II uncom
fortably close to that day of reck¬
oning when, last November, the
international consortium came to
her rescue. But “tbe respite of
last November in itself no more
guarantees our future than Dun¬
kirk presaged swift victory in
1940.”
He called for “decisions now ap¬
propriate to our position at the
present time. We still have time to
adapt our policies to avoid the
menace of hardship which could
face every family in the land. I
only hope we face up to this need
whilst there is still time. >»
