Thunder On The Mountain |
A book by Dr. Cecil Myers, pastor of Grace Methodist};
Church in Atlanta, is rapidly becoming a religious best se]]erl«
throughout Georgia and much of the nation. '
Dr. Myers’ second book, Thunder On The Mountain, was
published in late April by Abingdon Press. i]
The Georgia minister uses 12 chapters in 176 pages tol
apply the Ten Commandments to today’s moral problems. |
He says the Ten Commandments are contemporary and rele- ;
want today as they were when they were first written. [
Dr. Myers wrote and talked to several prominent wor]dlj
Jeaders in doing research for his book. He asked them all the"l
game question, “What do you think is the greatest moral |,
problem confronting the American people?” Some of the!'
answers are contained in his book. |
In a book that has long been needed, Dr. Myers empha-“
sizes that America no longer has clear standards of moral con- i ;
duct. Declaring that all Americas need new standards, he
says the church is the only institution that can renew man’sll
attitudes and conduct. 1
He strikes hard at the old view of America being a Christ- "
jan nation. He says morality is a personal thing, and that!j
persons should not fool themselves in believing they live in|,
a Christian nation. |<
Dr. Myers illustrates his book in graphic fashion with|:
personal illustrations and with material from some of the |
world’s great literary works. ‘
Some of his subjects include the following: Which God?,
On Taking God Lightly, On Letting Our Souls Catch Up
With Our Bodies, and Getting the Best of the Green Eyed
Monster.

| By Gov. Carl Sanders ;
The police officer provides an
eqgential link between govern
ment and the people. While gov
ernment makes and administers
the laws, the deciding factor is
the testing of them, for laws are
merely ineffectual pieces of leg.i‘
Islative documents unless they are
carried out and enforced. And it]
is for this purpose that we de
pend upon our law enforcement |
officers. ‘
Georgia and the nation are well‘
aware of and deeply sympathe. o
with the peculiar problems of ‘.}*»:i
police officer.
It is a job which demands pa-l
tience, wisdom and courage. It is!
a job which often requires su-|
preme sacrifice, that of his life for
the protection of the public he
serves. It is a resonsibility, with
today’s instantaneous mass com
munications media, because the
whole world has a ring side seat
for whatever its officials may do.
For what we may consider to be
routine activity, may turn out to
be an international incident.
Georgia, as well as all America,
has every reason to be proud of
the image our police forces have
presented to the world. Through
fair, consistent and impartial en
forcement of all laws for all citi-|
zens by professional, expcrienced;
officers who respect law, order
and the rights of the people, we!
have earned respect and envy|
throughouout the Free World. |
Here in America the law is re

the fundamental difference be

democracy and the fotalitarian
ism of the Communists.
I Our Nation is a nation of laws,
Inot of men. And upon this foun

lto abide by these laws. And
Ishould these laws fail, so our Na
i tion fails,
The peace officers of America
!have worked devotedly and self
llessly in behalf of the people of!
i this Nation, regardless of the peril
{or hazard to themselves.
I These officers have safeguard
jed the lives and property of their |

Wheat Program ;
§ Certificates Help |
|Offset Crop Loss |
| Winter wheat growers whose‘
{crop this year is not proving up
|to par because of drought or oth-
ler natural causes are fortunate if ,
{they signed up last fall to take
!{part in the 1965 voluntary wheati
'lprogram, according to Rufus Ad-i
ams, Chairman, Agricultural Sta- |
.!bilization and Conservation State'
»gCommittee. He pointed out that
ithe amount of certificates for!
"which such growers are eligible
1 under the program will not be re- I
'{duced because the crop turned out
to be smaller than expected. [
‘ For participating in the 1965
{ voluntary wheat program, a farm |
'loperator qualifies for marketingi
!certificates, pree-support loans oni
‘his wheat crop, and diversion |
;payments on wheat allotment ac-!
i res beyond the basic minimum di- |
|verted from production into a|
i conserving use. |
| The Chairman explained that |
}the total number of bushels of}
| wheat for which a participating |
ifarm may be eligible for certifi-é
;cates is determined by applying|
;the marketing percentage (80 perg‘
i cent for 1965) to the normal pro- |
!duction of the farm wheat allot- |
| ment. Since the certifciates are|
| based on the normal rither than|
tthe actual production, a small|
|yield from the allotment acreage |
lplan-ted for harvest would not%
change the amount of certificates |
for which the grower qualifies. i
5 Two kinds of certificates are |
available: Domestic Marketing I
Certificates wirth 75 cents a bus»!
hel on as much as 45 per centl
of the farm’s allotment’s normal |
i production; and Export Certifi- ’
cates worth 30 cents a bushel on]
as much as 30 per cent of the’
farm allotment’s normal produc- |
tion. t
Wheat producers taking part in-!‘
the program who planted as much }
as 80 per cent of their allotments |
for harvest will be eligible for|
the full amount of -certificates|,
| available for the farm. When few- |.
;er acres are planted for harvest, '
{the amount of certificates will be ‘
| reduced. i

Proposed Change In Rules For 1966
Cotton Crop Measuring Skip-Row
.i The U. S. Department of Agriculture is proposing a chang
| the rules for measuring cotton when planted in a skip-row pat:
{ for compliance with acreage allotmenis. The change, if adop:
! would become effective for the 1966 cotton crop. :
‘ In skip-row planting, strips of
Icotton rows are generally alter-
Inated with strips of idle land.i
'Under the present rule, all thel
lidle land beyond one-half of a|
| normal row is not counted as cot- |
,ton when computing the acreage.’
i This in effect spreads the allot-|
!ment over more acreage. Under'i
ithe change, a part of the idle land |
{ will be considered cotton acreage
| for allo‘ment purposes. USDA of-!
Ificials say that studies of different |
iskip—row planting patterns co,n-'
|firm that cotton planted on the’
| outside, or next to the idle space |
produces more than cotton plant-|
,ed in a normal row pattern. '
} The 1965 cotton allotment is set}
lat 16 million acres which is the|
Iminimum acreage permitted byi
|the present law. It is expected’
|that a reduction in planting ofi"
japproximately one million acres|
| will result from the Domestic Al-}
|lotment Program for 1965. Despite |
ithe reduced acreage, cotton pro-|
|duction this year is expected to|
lexceed the domestic use plus ex-|
'ports. and will increase the al-|
iready sizable carryover for the |
|fourth straight year. l
’ Carryover as of August 1, the
!beginning of the new cotton mar- |
!kefiing year, is expected to total|
iabout 13.4 million bales, the lar—;
;gest carryover since the record!
114.5 million bales in 1956. USDA |
officials feel that increased yields'
due to skip-row plantings have!
contributed substantially to the|
increase in cotton production. |
Skip-row plantings have increas- |
ed to the point that about 2.5 mil- |,
lion acres of cotton on 35,000 '

IN RECENT months great
pressure has been placed upon
the Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion to expand its scope of au
thority and operaticns and to
move into areas strictly reserved
for local law enforcement.
Much of this pressure is be-
ing applied, of
course, by
groups and or
ganizations
which want to
use the FBI to
further their
own personal
interests, to
have the bu-
reau in effect serve as their own
private police force.
Their chief demand is that the
FBI take over the duties and
prerogatives of local law en
forcement agencies in many
parts of the country. They even |
call for personal bodyguard serv
ice, which the FBI is not au
thorized by law to give the Pres
ident of the United States.
* * *
THE DUTIES and responsi
bilities of the FBI are enumer
ated by law. Its principal funec
tion is to investigate violations
of federal statutes, to collect
factual and impartial informa
tion and turn it over to the De
partment of Justice. Over the
vears, the FBI has established
an outstanding record of fair
ness and objectivity.
Although the FBI works close
ly with local law officers in in
vestigating criminal offenses, it
is in no sense a police force with
authority to step in and make
arrests whenever and wherever
it desires,

FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1965
farms were skip-row planted i,
1964.
i The purpose of the proposed
| change is not to eliminate skip.
(row planting but to bring skip
row acreage for allotment dete:.
'minations more nearly in line with
production increases due to such
plantings.
’ The following example demon.-
strates how skip-row plantino
lworks: A farmer with a 50-acrc
cotton allotment using the skip.
row pattern of 2 rows of cotion
'and two rows skipped. Under :he
lpresent system the farmer would
be considered to have half (509
}of the total area planted to co:-
ton. This would permit him
;utilize 100 acres of land and siil]
be considered as being in com
ipliance with his 50-acre cotton
allotment. Under the proposed
new rules, 65 per cent of ih
land would be considered as
planted to cotton. Therefore, he
would be able to plant no more
‘than 77 acres under the two :nd
Etwo pattern and still be consider
{ed as in compliance with his cot
ton acreage allotment.
| The proposed rule appears i
the Federal Register of April 22
'Growers can submit data, view:
Eand recommendations in writing
to the Director, Farmer Program:
Division, Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation Service,
Washington, D. C. 20250. To e
considered, comments must b
épostmarked not later than May
22, 1965.
% Sweet potato acreage in Geor
gia is expected to be up about
eight per cent this year.
For the FBI to alter its pro
cedure and act independently of
local law enforcement would take
it far beyond its jurisdiction and
bring this nation dangerously
close to police state tactics such
as those exercised by Hitler’s
Gestapo and the secret police of
the Soviet Union,
The FBI has never been sub
jected to political manipulation
and so long as it continues in its
present role it will never become
the tool of any particular ad
ministration or pressure group.

J. EDGAR HOOVER, who
completed his 41st year as di
rector of the FBI on May 10, is
to be commended for his unbend
ing resistance to efforts to turn
the bureau into a national police
force,
In an interview last December,
Mr. Hoover reiterated his strong
position. “I recently made the
statement that I am inclined to
ward being a States’ righter in
matters involving law enforce
ment. That is, I fully respect the
sovereignty of state and local
authorities, I consider the local
police officer to be our first line
of defense against crime, and 1
| am opposed to a national police
| force . . . The danger of a na
| tional police force is that it cen
| tralizes into one place and into
| the hands of one man too much
| authority,” said Mr. Hoover.
I could not agree with him
| more. Too much authority al
| ready emanates from the banks
.| of the Potomac.
