PERMANENCY SOUGHT
BY NEW DEMO PARTY
ATLANT A—The anti-Tal
rnadge movement in Georgia ap
pears to be gaining momentum.
For example, a permanent ex
ecutive committee of the anti-
Talmadge Democratic party of
Georgia will be set up within 30
to 60 days at a convention at
tended by delegates from a ma
jority of counties in the state,
according to Hoke Smith, young
Atlanta attorney and grandson
namesake of a famed Georgia
political leader of yesteryear,
who is secretary of the tempor
ary executive committee.
Smith said he had received
messages from persons through
out Georgia approving the ac
tion of a group of 75 persons who
met in Atlanta last week, desig
nated Herman Talmadge’s tac
tion as party bolters, and an
nounced they would seek to seize
control of the party from the
Talmadge-Roy Harris clique. The
new organization sprang from
the roots of the month-old
■ Aroused Citizens of Georgia”
movement.
“We would like to have a dele
gate from each county at this
convention, but at any rate, we
will have delegates from a clear
majority of the counties,” Smith
said. “They will then elect a per
manent executive committee,
and we will step out.”
Smith reiterated that the,
anti-Talmadge Democrats will
fight to win recognition from,
the National Democrat!? Party,!
and to seat their delegates at
the presidential convention in
the summer of 1948. The group
takes the position that it rep
resents the true Democrats of
Georgia, and charges that the
Talmadge faction will use the
so-called white primary legisla-,
tion to bring about a Cracker
Party control of the state.
Other members of the tem
porary executive committee are
Richmond County Representa
tive William S. Morris, publisher
of the Augusta Chronicle, chair
man, and Mrs. H. H. Trotti, of
Decatur, treasurer.
Meanwhile, the Georgia Su
preme Court was to hear argu
ments in the three appealed Su
perior Court cases contesting
Georgia’s governorship Thurs
day of this week. By mutual
consent of the court and oppos
ing counsel all three cases will
be heard at the same time. Some
observers believe that a ruling
may be forthcoming from the
high court within about ten days
after arguments are concluded.

Sam Abernathy
Holds the Line!
Folks in our town have been
making mighty complimentary re
marks about Sam Abernathy. In
spite of talk about inflation, Sam’s
prices—(say, on eggs for instance)
—are what they were a year ago.
“Shucks,” says Sam, “Don’t give
me credit I get my eggs from Slim
Hines’ dairy farm. Slim hasn’t
raised his wholesale prices, be
cause Bert Childers has kept his
price the same on chicken feed. It
works by mutual agreement! ”

YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS
By HENDERSON LANHAM
Once up a time, there was an old judge who, after the lawyer
tor the plaintiff had concluded his argument, refused to hear the
attorney for the defendant, saying that to hear both sides of a
case tended to confuse the court. While it seems sometimes that
the debates in Congress are intended to confuse and not to en
lighten, I try always to study both sides of every question that
comes before us. To this end I read as carefully as time will per
mit, everything that comes across my desk that will throw any
light on the many problems that confront us. Consequently, I read
the newspapers published by the labor unions, as well as the Wall
Street Journal. In the March 4 issue of that really high-class news
paper, there appeared a news item so important in its implica
; tions and promise for the future, that I am passing the gist of
}it on to you.
SCIENTISTS’ DREAMS COME TRUE
The Wall Street Journal reports that Electricity
Will Come From First Nuclear Utility in 1948!" It seems that Gen
eral Electric and Monsanto Chemical Company are promoting the
project, with apilot plant at Oak Ridge, Tenn., where the first
atomic bomb was made. Here is an actuality beyond the wildest
dream of Buck Rogers. In 1948 we will see electricity produced
oy the elemental force that holds the atoms of all matter together,
' which is rleased when the atom is split. Sooner than we think,
I water power and coal for the production of electricity may bo
eliminated and all our current produced by the release of the ele
mental energy of the atom.
This fascinating story, which I have seen in no other paper
than the Wail Street Journal, throws light upon something that
i has been happening here in the Senate Committee considering
the confirmation of Mr. Lilienthal to be chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission. It explains why certain powerful interests
have been trying to block his confirmation, charging him with
being communistic in his thinking. The long hearing has tailed
to produce any evidence that Lilienthal has the slightest leaning
toward Communism.
The pay-off is that this man has made a shining success of the i
great Tennessee Valley Power development known as the TVA.
Some of the great utility interests are opposed to him because he;
believes that the natural resources of our country should be de
veloped for the benefit of the people. You can see how dangerous
from their standpoint, it is to have such a man in charge of the :
commission charged with developing atomic energy! The result:
is that they have teamed up with Sen. McKellar, who has a per
sonal grudge against Lilienthal, to try to block his confirmation.
You should know before you read this whether or not they have,
succeeded.
During the hearing, Mr. Lilienthal was asked the direct ques-,
tion as to whether or not be believed in Communism. In reply he 1
made such a clear and thrilling statement of his faith in Democ -I
racy and Christianity that I am repeating a part of it here. Foi .
clarity of language and beauty of thought, I think it ranks well (
up with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, the preamble to our Const!- I
tutin. and the other great state papers of our nation. Among other
things, Mr. Lilienthal said: "I believe—and Iso conceive the Con-|
stitution of the United States to rest upon, as does religion—the '
fundamental proposition of the integrity of the individual; and
that all Government and all private institutions must be designed
to promote and to protect and to defend the integrity and the dig
nity of the individual; that, that is the essential meaning of the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as it is essentially the mean
ing of religion.” Could a man with that conception of the mean
ing of our Christian Democracy possibly be anything but a loyal
and good American? I do not think so.
DISSOLUTION OF EMPIRE
There was one other world shaking news item to appear in the
public press this week. I refer to the announcement by England
that she could no longer maintain her support of the Greek gov
ernment, and her plea for the United States to take over the torch
of Democracy in Greece from Britain’s failin ghand. Some weeks
ago I referred in this column to the fact that Britain was slipping
from her place as one of the first-rate powers of the world, and
predicted that we would have to take up the burden England
could no longer bear.
Without further comment from me, I am sure each of you can
realize what a tremendous responsibility now rests upon Congress
and the President, to decide what our course shall be in this world
emergency, and to furnish the money and counsel necessary to ■
to protect the Middle East, Turkey and Greece from the Red ■
Manace. It seems to me that we must try to get an agreement
quickly with Russia to maintain the present status in that trou
bled section of the world, or we must quickly supply the men and
money necessary to prevent Russia’s further expansion there.
This does not necessarily, or probably, mean war, but it does mean
that we must save the people of Palestine, Greece and other sec
tions of the Near East from fear, hunger and misery, or see thm
turn to Communism for protection and hope. It emphasizes again
what I said recently in commenting upon the proposed cut in the
budget, especially that for the national defense. We simply can
not afford to weaken our military, naval and air forces at this
supreme crisis in world affairs. *
Truly this is an exciting time to be alive. We are seeing history
with a capital “H” being made before our eyes.
Sportsmen’s Clubs that the
meeting of the State Wildlife
Federation, previously scheduled
for March 12 at Macon, has been
