In last week’s column, we stat
ed that the “Georgia Recorder’’ is
owned by Marvin Griffin and
Roy Chalker. We now have a
letter from Mr. Griffin, stating
that he does not own any part
of the Recorder. We are happy
io print his denial, but we, along
with a great many other people
an Georgia, have been under the
impression that Marvin raised |
the money from certain machin- i
try dealers and road contractors i
to equip the “(Recorder” printing!
plant at Waynesboro, and holds |
the mortgage on the plant.
Marvin goes on to say in his i
letter: “This little note is not by j
any means an issue of complaint.!
Keep up the good work (he means i
writing this column) and I shall
win by three to one instead of
two to one”.
We thank the ex-Governor for'
admitting —by negative infer- j
ence — that our column pinches j
him more often than he cares to i
admit. And, why shouldn’t it? ;
Any politician hates to have the!
people of Georgia constantly re-!
minded of his sorry record in |
public office, and Griffin, more!
than most anybody else, left a
recond that he sure would like I
to have the voters forget.
* » * *
Speaking of Griffin and the i
next gubernatorial race, most ■
political experts now believe that;
Slate Senator Erwin Mitchell will!
run for governor next year, with j
two strange allies in his corner.!
JEirst would be Marvin Griffin, i
furnishing the money, and second i
■will be the NAACP, trying toi
furnish the votes. And the whole I
•scheme has been hatched by the.
Griffin folks, to try to split the;
vote. Mitchell’s participation will ■
definitely establish him as a tool ।
of Marvin’s, and he has, un- j
doubtedly, been given some pro-;
raise of future political gain. The]
puzzle is, though, what has Gris-1
fin promised the NAACP?

Rumor says that Atlanta Mayorl
Willie B. Hartsfield will marry l

his present wife.

Lieutenant-Governor Garland•
Byrd has had a terrific handicap!
in his politicking, due to his in-1
fected foot. In the hospital, hei
couldn't see folks, but, since go- i
ing home, has been receiving a ■
constant stream of visitors at]
Reynolds, even though he is still |
unable to be up and about. The]
stream doesn’t let up, either, eve
ry day and weekends. How the
Griffin propaganda machine
could convince anybody that
Byrd’s stock is slipping, when a
great majority of county political
leaders keep beating a path to
^Byrd’s door, is beyond reason. ]
Actually, the Lieutenant-Gover-'
tier's strength has INCREASED;
rmmeasureably in the last sev
' eral months, and will continue to i
rise from now until election day.
Thb Griffin propaganda crew
seem to have taken a page from
she Goebbels’ policy, which said:
fTeH a big lie often enough and
^ome people will believe it”.
' Quite a few well known po
litical figures around the Capitol
are saying that State Senator Carl
Sanders has become so convinced
p£ the inevitability of his defeat
in nfext year’s Lieutenant-Gover
nor’s race that he is now trying
to work a deal to secure an ap
pointment as Attorney-General,
in the event Eugene Cook would
accept an Appellate Court post.
However, Mr. Cook is not likely
io take such a job, and Senator
! Sanders would not likely be the
;i appointee if the Attcmey-Gen
. i eral job were open.
■! Senator Sanders will, of course,
1! deny that he is even thinking of
■; such a thing — just as any other
। politician won’t admit that he’s
Mopen to a trade — but we know
' I beyond a doubt that Sanders was

By the time this column is in
print, Governor Vandiver will ■
have appointed as his Chief of ’
Staff the distinguished Atlanta
lawyer, Cook Barwick, to replace ■
Griffin Bell, who accepted a Fed-!

an excellent appointment.

Those misguided persons who
believed the integrationists when
they said they “didn’t really want j
to integrate”, but just wanted the
laws changed, “for dignity’s
sake”, can see now how badly
they were deceived. The inte
grationists weren’t satisfied with j
token integration in Georgia’s |
public schools and colleges. Now j
they are trying to force the leg
islature to change the tax laws
so that even private schools can
be integrated.
Witness last week’s statement
by Emory University, that hot
bed of radicalism, that they are
ready to integrate Emory just as
soon as the General Assembly
would change the law. Witness
the Atlanta Constitution editor
ial urging the Assembly to go
along on such a change. They
are not satisfied with integration
of public schools, with lunch
counter integration, with sit-ins,
stand-ins, etc. They now want
admittance to private schools.
Georgians from every county |
[ in the state, except Fulton, will
! stand overwhelmingly behind the
I Legislature to insist that it hold
i firm and not open another breach
!in the dike of segregation. The
'people of Atlanta have been so
; brainwashed by Atlanta News
, papers, Inc. and other integra
' tionists that they will just su
ipinely accept any indignity the
iNAACP wants to put on them.

We heard a speech last week
;by a representative of the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce,
i who painted a glowing picture
iof the Chamber’s work for At
। lanta’s progress. He wasn’t asked
I the question, but in the minds
iof nearly all his audience was
the query: “How much progress
will Atlanta make when all the
decent white people have moved
out of town and left the city to
the Negro”?
