CANDIDATES STAND
ON ISSUES
Question I—Will you please
give your reasons for your sup
port or opposition to the present
United States foreign economic
aid program.
Answers:
John W. Davis—l favor gen
erally a program of military and
economic aid of the same gen
eral aspects as the present one
for the reason that I believe that
the future of the United States
depends in large measure on
how well we can sell the Ameri
can way of life to the billions of
people who are not in the Rus
sian sphere of influence.
Milton Grubbs Jr.—l violently
oppose our present foreign aid
program because it is now evi
dent that the funds are mis
handled, misspent, and misdi
rected. It has been administered
without sufficient direction, in
formation, and planning. My
primary target is the Develop
ment Loan Fund which has
spent more than $1.4 billions
with no good results or explana
tions. The money does not go
much farther than foreign big
business and does no real good
for the masses, either directly
or indirectly. I would take an
immediate stand to stop this
area of activity. I would not be
opposed to mutual security
spending wisely and intelligently
done.
John Phillips Pickett—Present
foreign economic policy should
not necessarily be cut in amount,
but distributed more to under
developed areas with financial
cooperation of our allies. Also,
I feel that Russia is getting
more for their money than we
are, in their economic aid to
foreign nations. This could be
changed by better and closer
administration on our part.
George T. Bagby—No reply.
Question 2—What federal
legislation, if any, should be en
acted for the development or
conservation of our natural re
sources?
Answers:
John W. Davis—l feel that our
natural resources should be
rigorously conserved, but I have

no specific platform as to legis
lation developing the same. I
would favor legislation which
would strengthen our military
and economic might vis a vis the
Soviet Union.
Milton Grubbs Jr. — In the
Soviet Russia the problem is the
development of their natural re
sources. In the United States our
problem is the conservation of
our natural resources. A new
legislative approach is needed
for the protection, management,
conservation and development of
our natural resources. I would
encourage science to develop the
potential of sea water.
John Phillips Picket—Present
federal laws are adequate. How
ever, much more could be done
under these laws. I favor cooper
ative development between gov
ernment and industry, particu
larly in our river systems.
George T. Bagby—No reply.
Question 3—What priority do
you believe should be given to
balancing the budget?
Answers:
John W. Davis—Very high
priority should be given this
matter.
Milton Grubbs Jr.—l believe in
a balanced budget, even reduc
ing the national debt. However,
I believe in a balanced budget
contingent on foreign develop
ments, but never at the expense
of necessary services or our de
fenses. A false economy probably
is more dangerous than the na
tional debt.
John Phillips Picket—First we
must provide for adequate de
fense, and by adequate I mean
superior to Russia’s, without
question. After this has been
provided, we must strive for a
balanced budget, even if it means
sacrifices by us, the people of
the United States.
George T. Bagby—No reply.
Question 4—What changes if
any would you recommend in
the present farm price support
program?
Answers: _
John W. Davis—l do not re
gard the Benson Program as
being workable and would be in
clined to support the Talmadge
plan.
Milton Grubbs Jr.—l believe
in full parity of income and
living standards for agriculture.
The present farm program com
pletely ignores this approach
and threatens to cripple if not
destroy our farm potential. We
cannot leave the farmer to his
own misfortunes and survival,
for he will continue to disappear.
John Phillips Picket — Would
favor a direct payment plan
which would help small farmers
and eliminate huge administra
tive and storage costs under
present system. Dispose of sur
plus through aid to starving
people in underdeveloped coun
tries.
George T. Bagby—No reply.
Question s—What should be
the role of the federal govern
ment in relation to labor-man-

3 Held On Charges
Os Shooting At
Picnicking Family
Three men have been charged
with shooting at another in con
nection with an incident at The
Narrows picnic area, according
to the sheriff's office.
They are James, Johnny and
Mitchell Blackmon.
A picnicking family from
Flintstone reported they were
shot at with a .22 rifle, accord
ing to Sheriff Fred Stewart. The
trio, however, contends they
were shooting straight up, he
said. Johnny and Mitchell were
freed on bond early this week.
agement problems?
Answers:
John W. Davis—The executive
branch of the federal govern
ment should continue to offer
conciliation assistance; the ju
dicial branch, to entertain jus
ticiable controversies; and the
legislative, to implement the
freedom to contract, with full
deference to the rights of prop
erty and due process of law.
Milton Grubbs Jr. —Primarily,
labor and management should
be left to solve their own prob
lems where possible. They have
in the past demonstrated their
ability to do this and we should
respect this ability. However,
when they cannot so solve their
problems, government must in
tervene for the joint purpose of
solving the problem and protect
ing the national economy and/or
defenses, but not in such a man
ner as to cause harm to either
management or labor.
John Phillips Pickett — The
role of the federal government
as mediator should be continued,
but the public should be pro
tected in settlements. The recent
steel strike settlement was a dis
grace because it utterly disre
garded the public interest.
George T. Bagby—No reply.

OVER 1,000 TURN
OUT FOR DAVIS
RALLY IN ROME
An enthusiastic crowd of well
over a thousand people attended
the Davis for Congress barbecue
and political rally in Floyd
County Saturday.
The meeting, one of the best
attended political rallies in the
history of the county, was held
at the Municipal Civic Center
and the highlight of the day
was a speech by Judge John W.
Davis announcing a ten-point
platform in his race for Con
gress.
Judge Davis stressed the ur
gent need to prevent the textile
industry from being liquidated
by foreign competition. He em
phasized the importance of look
ing after the needs of Lockheed,
the largest industry under one
roof in the world and “so very
important” to the economy of
the entire Seventh District.
He stated that in the Seventh

trict governor of Rotary Inter

year at Rotary’s 51st annual

Each year, this world-wide
service organization continues to

President Welborn added. During
the past fiscal year, 450 new Ro
tary clubs were organized in 47
countries, bringing the total
number of Rotary clubs to an all

this week he strongly endorses
