Soviet Leaders All the Same
Was Nikita Khrushchev an affable,
peace-loving leader, as some have pictured
him?
Or was he a power-hungry, ruthless
leader bent on ruling the world?
It’s true that Mr. Khrushchev lifted the
Iron Curtain a little. It’s true that he is a
man with a broad grin and a ready wit. It’s
true that he was considerably more amiable
than Stalin.
But lest wo get carried away over the
political demise of Mr. K., let’s remind our
selves that he is the man who rolled the
tanks into Hungary (never worrying about
world opinion); that he is the man who put
the wall up in Berlin (never worrying about
B e Need to Keep Election Code
Officials holding the general election
in Chattooga County Nov. 3 are to be com
mended. It was a difficult ballot but so far
as we can find out, tilings went smoothly
in most boxes.
Ordinary Paul Weems is to be congrat
ulated tor moving the Summerville polling
place from the courthouse to the city hall,
a step which was taken between the Demo
cratic primary and the primary runoff. Thi 1
greater efficiency of both the runoff and
the general election are sufficient proof
that this was a great step forward.
Another gigantic step forward this
year, all over Georgia, was adoption and im
plementation of the new Election Code. The
new laws mak' it extremely hard for cor
rupt politicians and/or corrupt poll officials
to “steal” elections.
The code needs some slight revisions,
to be sure Such as the part allowing poli
ticians to be near the polling place all day.
It would be easier on hot h them and the
public if this weren't permitted.

STRATEGY FOR
CONSERVATIVES
For conservatives around the
nation the period ahead will be
a time of rebuilding They will
have to get to the grassroots,
seek out causes for failure at
the polls, and reconstruct their
strength so that they will be a
force in Congress in the four
years ahead The congressional
elections of 1966. in fact, form
the principal conservative tar
get in all parts of the country.
Southern conservatives are
more fortunate than conserva
tives in other parts of the
country In five Southern states
the conservative cause enjoyed
sweeping success at the polls
Precedents were set and tradi
tions broken as Southern voters
in great numbers demonstrated
that they were not the captives
of any party or administration.
Indeed the polities of the South
took a new direction as the
two-party system emerged full
blown for the first time in a
number of states Actually, of
course, the fight in this coun
try for many years now has
been not nearly so much a
struggle between the Demo
cratic and Republican parties
as it has been between con
servatism and welfarism 'so
cialism*.
Os course*, conservatives were
not uniformly successful, and
suffered setbacks in some
states One of the reasons why
conservatives had a hard time
is that many state office
holders. notably the governors,
lined up with the national
administration in support of
"The Great Society." And many
Congressmen, displaying deep
fear of the powers-thai-be in
Washington, were more respon
sible to the will of Washington
than they were to the wishes
of the conservative constitu
ents
Both in those slates where
conservatives w ere successful
and in those where they were
unsuccessful, the primary op
portunity is to take hold of

world opinion); and that he is the man who
put the missiles in Cuba (never worrying
about world opinion) and who got out of his
Cuban adventure a pledge from us of no
invasion.
Mr. Khrushchev’s successor may be
less affable than he, or more so. He may
talk “co-existence” more or he may discuss
it less. He may talk “peace” more or less
than did Mr. K.
But let us not delude ourselves into be
lieving that Stalin, Khrushchev and Bresh
nev are basically different. They may have
different personalities and different tactics.
But their basic aims remains the same—
world domination.
workable. It. may be more troublesome to
election officials because it requires more
of them. And we may hear a great hue and
cry when the General Assembly convenes in
January for the Code to be drastically al
tered. But we’ll make a great mistake if we
get back, for instance, to the business of al
lowing poll officers to mark ballots. Con
trolled poll officers, who many times are
politicians themselves, can easily control
elections by marking enough ballots them
selves.
Under the new law, you are not sup
posed to have your ballot mat ked unless you
can’t read or write and will so swear. And
you must get a voter in your district to
mark your ballot when you do need help
and tliat voter can help no more than 10
persons.
A brighter day seems to be dawning in
many facets of Chattooga County politics.
The new election code and the holding
of Summerville balloting in the city hall
instead of the courthouse are two of the
brightest rays in the new day.
governors and Congressmen go
down-the-llne in obedience to
the Welfare State, conservative
grassroots movements will face
grave obstacles, as was the case
in the recent election.
One of the happy develop
ments of the campaign was the
flourishing of conservative ac
tivity among young people,
many of them in their late
teens or just too young to vote
In a few years, these youthful
citizens will be able to vote. It
Is essential that their drive and
enthusiasm for conservatism be
harnessed. especially in the
South They represent the logi- I
cal counterforce to the bloc 1
voters who can be herded to the ■
polls like sheep Several south- i
ern elections make plain that
these bloc voters can be over- 1
come where there has been a i
strong grassroots precinct or- ,
ganization at work, particularly '
those that utilize tile energies
and imaginative politicking of
younger citizens
It would be absurd for South
ern conservatives to ignore the
fact that they must build up
their strength at every level of
state government. The con-I
stiuetion of conservative power
must be much more thorough'
and must encompass all areas
of political activity in a state
The conditions of the 1960 s
suggest that conservatism must I
be a top to bottom affair sol
that powerful political posi
tions such as governorships— i
aren't in the hands of the lib- i
erals when an election year
rolls around.
The attitude with which'
Southern conservatives regard
the present and future is of
great importance It would be.
foolish for Southern conserva
tives to spend their time moan
ing and groaning over defeats
elsewhere in the nation Those
states where conservatives lost
out in the elections are the re
sponsibilities of conservatives
In those states That's good
states' rights principles As a
matter of fact, a setback often
can be a good thing m that it
leads people to understand the
necessity for harder work But
the South's task is to deal with
Southern needs
The overriding truth is that
conservatism made a giant
breakthrough in five Southern
states this year, and every
effort should be made to con
solidate gains and to seek ways,
and means of broadening the.

Older Taxpayers to Find
Savings In Federal Tax
Taxpayers 65 years of age and
over will find additional tax sav
ings in several provisions of the
1964 Revenue Act.
A. C. Ross. District Director of
the Internal Revenue Service,
said these benefits are in addi
tion to the rate reductions that
will reduce the tax bills of all
taxpayers.
For the elderly, tax savings
from the new law are estimated
to be over S6OO million a year
Os benefit particularly to tax
payers 65 years of age or older
are these provisions in the 1964
tax law:
1 the minimum standard de
duction.
2 removal of the one per cent
floor on medicine and drug ex
penses.
3—tax free treatment in cer
tain cases for gains from the sale
of residence.
4—an election Increasing the
computation bast* on retirement
Income credit for certain tax
payers
Mr. Ross said that none of the
11 million older taxpayers pre
viously exempt from filing a re
turn will have to file a return
under the new law Nearly all of
the 3 5 million who file returns
but pay no tax will continue to
have no tax to pay according to
Mr Ross.
The provisions of the new law
will reduce the taxes of virtually
all of the 3 4 million people 65
and older who pay federal in
come taxes. Social Security and
railroad retirement benefits con
tinue to be excluded from tax
able income under the new law.

JUDGEMENT OF THE
NEIGHBORS—FuneraI services
were being held for a man who
had been thoroughly disliked in
his community. He had a vio
lent, explosive disposition: he
nagged his wife, drove the chil
dren mercilessly, and quarreled
with the neighbors.
The day was warm, and as
the service ended a storm broke
furiously. There was a blinding
flash followed by a terrific clap
of thunder. "Waal, he got
there!” a mourner said.
SUMMARIZED — The old
time preacher, who can still be
found in the South, is a lover
of big words, most of which he
may but vaguely understand
and seldom use rightly. Yet the
wrong word he u^es often turns
out to be just the right one.
Down in South Alabama, Jim,
a farmhand, was plowing corn,
when a sudden thunder shower
drove him to shelter under a
tree. There his Maker suddenly
summoned him home with a
bolt of lightning.
Over the shattered remains
of the defunct Jim the local
pastor preached, concluding
with this moving climax:
“De call for our pore brother
wuz swift and suddin. He did
not linger for long months on
de bed of pain and affliction.
He did not suffer and waste
away. No, suh. de Lawd just
teched an electric button in de
skies and summarized Jim.”
SEPT. 10 was proclaimed
Sweet Potato Day in Georgia.

“slips” were set out. The big

themselves. Well, so have I, but

a barber. By the way, Pete

just as much evidence of lack
of power as it is in an auto.

how America spends her dollars
recently, and here’s the run
down: Gambling, 30 billion;
crime, 20 billion; alcoholic bev

billion; dog food, 175 million;
foreign missions 130 million.

Money talks, but seldom gets

money than brains, usually
needs it . . . One way to obtain

Even when opportunity knocks,
a man has to get off his seat to

DARE TO BE— Our world of
today needs more old fashioned
people. When our country is
faced with a moral . breakdown,
dare to uphold tried and-Xrwe
principals. Dare to be old
fashioned.
When the Constitution of the
United States is being distorted i
or ignored, dare to speak out
against the tractics of the ultra
liberals who would lead Amer
ica on the road to destruction.
Dare to be old fashioned.
If you are called names for
all that communism stands for, |
if you refuse to yield to the de-'
mands of tyranny, continue to I
speak your mind. Dare to be
old fashioned. When the popu- 1
lar stand is in your opinion the |
right stand, dare to be differ
ent. Dare to be old fashioned.
Do not fear ridicule or criti
cism. Dare to be old fashioned.
WHAT NEXT: When three
policemen are handcuffed to
gether, stood up and shot to
death with their own weapons,
people from all walks of life
are caused to wonder—wonder
what next (in a supposedly
civilized state and nation.)
That’S what happened or took
place some 30 miles from At
lanta recently. On the same
day, a bank and grocery store
were held up in Atlanta. (You
say it.)
BE SURE— Two young men
are reported to have been ar
rested for robbing twenty par
ticipants in a Brooklyn dice
game. They wore masks, but
one victim noticed that one of
the robbers wore a pair of dis
tinctive gold socks. Acting on
this information, the accused
robber and his companion were
soon picked up. (Note—The
Bible doesn’t say, "Be sure your
socks will find you out,” but in
this case, they did.)
MY NEIGHBOR SAYS— Some
of the new cars are so classy, I
the motor no longer purrs—it
sneers at you. (He’s got some
thing there.)
NO DOUBT— The surest way
to get the “dope” on a fellow is
to listen to every word he says
—very attentively and cour
teously, then judge him by how
he lives.

fact that a big percent of peo

VETERANS
ADMINISTRATION
Q—l did not receive my check
for last month, and I want to
know why.
A—Wait a reasonable period
of time and then notify the VA
regional office having custody of
your claim file. Make sure you
furnish your claim number and,
if you have moved, give them
both your old and new addresses.
Q—The envelope containing
my check had the large letters
“V-O” on it. What does that
mean?
A—That is the way the postal
authorities identify Veterans Ad
ministration checks that are to
be released for delivery on the
30th of the month. Checks are
printed and shipped to key de
livery points throughout the
country prior to the delivery
date.
Q —l am a patient in this VA
Hospital. How do I find out if
I am eligible for a pension.
A—File application and re
quest that your treatment rec
ords be requisitioned to support
your claim that you are perma
nently incapacitated for earning
a living. The VA rating officials
must also consider the amount
and nature of military service
and type of discharge, amount of
money you expect to receive
other than from the pension, and
your “net worth” and depend
ency status.
