Georgia Veterans, Afoul of
The Law Receive State Aid
More than 1,000 Georgia ex
servicemen, mentally affected by
war service, have been spared
prison terms for various offenses
through the intervention of the.
State Department of Veterans]
Service.
Director C. Arthur Cheatham,
queried on the subject by news
men, disclosed that close liaison
was maintained by Veterans
Service representatives with the
courts and with 'aw enforcement
officers. Whenever a former ser
viceman is apprehended in
Georgia and it appears his crime
may be based on the fact he has
been ’‘unsettled,” mentally or
neurotically by his war experi
ence, Veterans Service Office
managers are called in. If cir
cumstances seem to warrant it,
the ex-GI is turned over to the
Veterans Administration for ob
servation and medical treat
ment.
“This does not mean, however,
that true criminals escape pun
ishment in Georgia just because
they happen to be veterans,”
Cheatham asserted. “No prison
er is given assistance until his
war record is thoroughly studied.
Our duty is to aid justice—not
obstruct it. Saving a truly men
tally ill man from the damag
ing effects of a prison term is,
in my opinion, a definite aid to
justice.”
Cheatham said that psycho
oeurosls caused by the war could
tee expected to cause trouble for
another five years or more, par
ticularly if an economic recession
occurs and “times get tough.” By
the of that time, however,
Victims of serious disturbances of
that nature will have managed
to make a satisfactory adjust
ment and will have regained
stability.

Cut Backs in
Local Industries
Total employment in the Rome
area is beginning to resemble
prewar patterns in several in
dustrial activities. Less than full
time operations in some manu
facturing plants, and reduction
in force in others have occurred
in the past two weeks. The per
centage reduction in activities
amounts to approximately 75 to
80 per cent in the chenille in
dustry due to lack of orders; 40
per cent in the stove foundries
and furniture manufacturers
due to shortage of pig iron and
lack of orders; 40 per cent in the
cotton hosiery and garment in
dustries, with some plants op
erating two to three days per
week.
In the cotton textile and rayon
yarn, the reduction amounts to
from 1 to 2 per cent due to lack
of orders, especially in those j
manufacturing heavy fabrics. A
labor dispute exists at one plant.
Total employment in textiles
and rayon yarn was 13,052 in
January compared with 12,499 in
April this year. Only two textile
plants in the Rome area are op
erating in excess of 40 hours per
week.
The cutback in employment is
expected to be greatly relieved
within the next 30 to 60 days as
chenille and other manufactur
ing plants report good prospects
for receiving orders during that
period, and the supply of pig iron
is expected to increase.
Employment in construction
and agricultural activities off
sets the manufacturing reduc
tions somewhat. In addition to
several large construction proj
ects which carried over from the
previous 60-day period, and are
still in an active status.
Construction anticipated dur
ing the next 60 days in Chat
tooga County include additions
to several schools, such as addi
tional rooms to the Summerville
High School, and a new school
building at Menlo. Veterans or
ganizations in the country are
sponsoring a new club house to
be located near Pennville, and
numerous dwellings and smaller
construction projects will be in
progress during the next 60 days
with total estimated value to be
around $300,000, which should
furnish employment to 125 to 150
construction workers.
Highway projects should in
crease the employment opportu
nity to about 250 which will help
relieve the surplus in that coun
ty where some reductions in oth
er activities have been necessary.
March and April local non-ag
ricultural job placements made
by the Rome office show a mark
ed increase over the two previ
ous months.
