Victory
For Good Sense
Withdrawal of Judge Francis X.
Morrissey’s name from before the
Senate is a clear-cut victory for
American public opinion, for the
American press and for good judg¬
ment of the Senate itself. It is, in
essence, a victory of good sense
and of concern for the public weal
over political expediency and po¬
litical selfishness.
We welcome the fact that in
the end the demands of conscience
triumphed over the demands of
politics.
Although the Morrissey nomina¬
tion should never have gotten off
the ground in the first place, we
believe that the whole affair can
and will have a salutory effect.
Not only does it demonstrate a
deep national concern over an ef¬
fort to foist an individual regarded
by many as ill-equipped into a po¬
sition of great importance, but it
also shows this national concern
can make itself felt effectively and
decisively. We trust that this les¬
son will be long remembered in
Washington and that, in its way,
it will contribute to improved stan¬
dards of selection for public office.
It is a well-known fact that the
members of what is often called
“the world’s most exclusive club >»
hesitate to oppose the nomination
of anyone whom another senator
warmly and personally espouses.
And few candidates for public of¬
fice ever had a warmer or more
powerful personal espousal than
did Judge Morrissey. Behind him
was the weight of the entire Ken¬
nedy family, spearheaded by its
two representatives in the Senate.
Yet many Democrats, almost all
of the Republicans and, above all,
Senator Dirksen of Illinois stood
out firmly against the nomination.
The fact that there were many
have been an element of politics
in some opposition, does not change
the fact that these opponents are
owed a national vote of thanks.
It is clear that the Morrissey
fiasco will be long debated. Was
his nomination, as some have sug¬
gested, a super-clever maneuver on
President Johnson’s part to lead
the Kennedys into a dadly political
trap? To what extent ihas Sen. Ed¬
ward Kennedy’s sponsorship of the
nomination and Sen. Robert Ken¬
nedy’s support of it (thereby go
ig back on his earlier attitude
when the Morrissey name was pro¬
posed during his brother’s presi¬
dency) put a political blight on
the recently growing Kennedy
bloom? Certainly, the outcome has
done nothing to enhance either of
the senators’ political reputation.
But far more important than any
such questions is the fact that the
dignity of public office in the Uni¬
ted States has been protected and
enhanced.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
Cornelia, Georgia
Nov. 12, 1965
Honorable Richard B. Russell,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Senator Russell:
Mr. “Jim’ Davidson of the
Cleveland Courier, recently carried
me over the RICHARD B. RUSSELL
SCENIC HIGHWAY, to Tesnatee
Gap.
I was overwhelmed at the mag¬
nificent panorama this highway
opens up to the people of Georgia.
This cracker hasn’t been aiywhere
much, but I have never seen any¬
thing in pictures that surpasses the
beautiful scenery thus unfolded. I
have been a member of the- Natioin
al Geographic Society for years and
have kept up with such scenes
spread on paper.
Not only this; but this high¬
way is a real breakthrough toward
making North Georgia the mecca
of tourists and vacationists who de¬
sire the magnificently beautiful.
I suggested to Davidsom that
when this Highway is completed
that an indestructible marker with
your name on it imperishable in
bronze should be placed at each
entrance to this road. It would
be your everlasting monument for
the part you have played in getting
the road built. This road will make
the mountainous region of Geor¬
gia prosperous and profitable to
the state of Georgia as Western
Carolina has been to that state.
Yours very truly,
F. M. REEVES

PETE Soys:
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
The President’s health planners
850 strong, met the other day to
tell what they’d learned about the
American people. A published re¬
port said they found:
Fifteen million suffering from
heart disease; 48 million potential
cancer victims, although healthy
now; a fifth of the country’s chil¬
dren under 17 afflicted with chron¬
ic ills; and an infant mortality rate
for Negroes 90 per cent higher
than that for whiles. Is no place
safe to live in?
I like the yarn about a country¬
man who was stopped by a stranger.
The conversation went like this:
“Is this a healthy place?” “Sure
is. When I came here I couldn’t
walk, couldn’t talk, and had no
hair. ‘How long you been here?”
it I was born here.
Yours truly,
PINEY WODS PETE

Raping Negro
HATTIESBURG, Miss., Nov. 11
(AP) — A Forrest County jury
Thursday convicted a youthful
white welder of raping a Negro
teen-ager — making the first time
in the county history a white man
was sentenced in the attack on a
Negro.
Norman Cannon, 19, of the
Sumrall community,! was found
guilty as charged in the July 13
rape of a 15-year old Hattiesburg
Negro school girl.
The bushy - haired defendant
showed no emotion as the verdict
was read.
Rape is a capital offense but the
jury may stipulate life.
The jury fixed punishment at
life imprisonment.
Defense attorneys said they
would appeal the verdict.
The girl picked Cannon from a
police line-up as her attacker. She
told the court she was lured to
his car on the pretense he sought
a baby-sitter.
