Talmadge Warns
Mid-Easi Poses
Threat To Pease
Geongia’s U. S. Sen. Herman E.
Talmadge warns that tension in
the Middle East between Israel
and the Arab states “poses a very
serious thread to international
peace and the nations concerned
should resolve their differences
before the situation worsens."
The senator, addressing the Na
tional Council of Jewish Women’s
27th biennial convention just con
cluded in Atlanta, asserted 1 that
“the .greatest problem area in the
world at the present times besidesi
Southeast Asia is the Middle
East”, wind he warned against ■
“precipitous action that could j
explode irnto armed conflict.” ।
Pointing out the Cong re s “is'
not lunmindful of this problem,”:
Talmadge said “the maintenance i
of peace in the Middle East and
the security of the individual
states” is the subject of resolu
tions in both the Senate and the
House “wihich call for an end to
the constant tension and a peace
ful settlement of the Arab-Israel
distpute.”
He said “neither the United
States, the United Nations, nor
the Central Treaty Organiza
tion can afford to sit idly by and
allow the Middle Eastern situa
tion to continue to challenge
peace in the iworM. The commun
ity of nations concerned must in
sure that peace be preserved, and
that any threat to the freedom
and sovereignty of the nations in
the Middle East will be dealt with
by -whatever actlonn is necessary
to keep the peace.”
Dscussing the growth of Israel,
Sen. Talmadge said the nation has
“set an example of progress with
out parallel. I know how hard
farmers wonk here in Georgia to
earn a living from the soil, but in
Israel they farm in the desert
and paise bumper crops. In a land
with relatively few natural re
sources, the Israeli have created
an industrial complex. In virtual
ly every field of. endeavor, the
Israelis have the span of a
few short years been able to enter
the world' market and to compete
on an equal basis.
“Moreover, Israel—a have-not
nation just 20 years ago—is as
sisting other .nations and helping
to promote further world devel
opment There can be no doubt
the place of Israel in the world
community is firm and well-es
tablished.”
Maddox Assails
Big Government;
Misuse Os Funds
As a gubernatorial candidate,
Gov. I.ester G. Maddox was a
strong advocate for states’ rights
and a severe critic of big, all
powerful government. He still is.
This was evident the other eve
ning when he addressed the Car
tersville Junior Chamber of Com
meree’s awards banquet.
Asserting that he has vet to
find anything in big government
that is completely honest with the
taxpayer, Maddox said “some of
ficials in high places h ive become
so accustomed to misusing money
that they are unaware that it is
the wrong thing to do.”
He said he hopes that when his
adminirtrotion ?s over people will
say it has made the greatest ad
wi.-es in education, highways
and mental health, had mote hon
esty and- kept better contact with
the people than any other admin
istration. “This is what Georgians
deserve.” he said.
Gov. Maddox said that during
his recent visit to Washington he
heard several persons say this is
no time to tmk states’ rights and
adopt a policy against an all
powerful government. But he
•told the Jaycees:
"There has never been a better
time to speak out for States' rights
and speak against an all-powerful
government. You either have lo
cal governmental control or you
have no need for a governor, gen
eral assembly or the local city and
county government.
“Governmental control <n pri
vate property rights and free en
terprise is nothing short of com
munism even though it may go
under some other name.”
Renewing his attack on the fed
eral government’s school deseg
regation guidelines, the governor
declared:
“We need guideline- but not the
unconstitutional and ungodly ones
which flow out from madmen in
Washington who put integration
ahead of education, liberty, men
tal health, law .and order, peace
and tranquility. We need the kind
of guidelines set forth in the Ten
Commandments and Bill of
Right s.”

THF. LATIN AMERICAN summit conference last week in
Punta del Este, Uruguay should have furnished a firsthand look
at how too much government largesse can drive a nation to
economic ruin.
Uruguay provides a sad example of how not to run a
country and how to have just about everything but progress and
prosperity. As one observer of the Latin American scene put it:
This nation is on the verge of ruin because it has had too much
of a good thing—welfare.
Here in this nation is found real cradle-to-gravc “security,”
with food, housing, transportation and just about everything
exceedingly cheap, because most of the cost is taken care of by
the government.
In addition to operating most of the major businesses and
industries, the government also employs about one-fourth of
Uruguay's 2.6 million people, who work only six hours a day,
have 44 paid off-days plus expense-paid vacations, and a pension
system that permits retirement at 50 with full pay.
* * *
TO SOME THIS MAY SOUND like the best of all possible
worlds. But far from that, this nation is in dire economic
trouble.
The government is of course finding it impossible to pay for
all the benefits it wants to provide the people and it is fast going
deeper and deeper into debt. Pension payments are months be
hind, and inflation is rampant.
This situation has developed there after about two decades
of something-for-nothing-for-all, and added to the country’s eco
nomic woes is the fact that the people have come to expect all
the benefits of the so-called good life without having to work
for a living or to compete for advancement.
Now the government is having to try to reverse the situation
and—even if it can be done—the process naturally will result
in unrest and disillusionment.
* * *
THERE IS OF COURSE a meaningful lesson in the ex-
I ample set by Uruguay and, for that matter, by many other of
the South American nations into which millions upon millions
of U. S. aid have been poured in order to prop up sagging
governments, turn back inflation and ease extreme poverty.
No government, not this one or any other, can grow and
। prosper under a fiscal philosophy of deficit spending or by dis
: couraging free enterprise.

Protect Your Children Against
Measles, Says The AMA
CHICAGO—Now is the
time to have your children im
munized against measles if they
have not already received this
protection, says the American
Medical Association.
Many parents are surprised
to learn how dangerous this com
mon childhood disease really is.
An estimated 250 American
children died from measles in
1966. More than 150 suffered
measles encephalitis, sometimes
called sleeping sickness, or brain
fever. Encephalitis frequently
leaves children with permanent
disabilities, including mental re
tardation, deafness, and blindness.
Future tragedies can be pre
vented, because safe and effective
measles vaccines are now avail
able. In the past four years, these
vaccines have helped cut the
measles death rate in half.
It's possible that measles
could be eradicated in the near
future if more parents protected
their children with immunization.
The AMA recommends that
every infant be vaccinated when
he is about one year old. All chil
dren over this age who have not
been vaccinated and who have
not had measles, should be im
munized now.
It is especially important
that children in nurseries, kinder
gartens, and the first two grades
of elementary school receive mea
sles immunization. These young-
Mas. Bettye McGahee and
i daughter, Marie, visited friends in
Dublin Sunday.

the Extension Service horticulture
department, points out that they ;
are the result of detailed planning .
for the proper selection, planting,
and maintenance.
When opening a can of food,
always open the end of the can
that has been next to the shelf, or.
the bottom of the cm. Extension
Service heme economists point
out that this will allow the heav
ier food to come out first.

Social Security Due
On Domestic Workers
A. C. Ross, District Director of
Georgia today had a word of tax
i advice for housewives and other
i employers of domestic workers—
।don’t overlook possible liability
for Social Security Taxes.
> If you pay a household worker
I $50.00 or more in any calendar
• quarter, you and the employee be
i come subject to the Federal In
isurance Contributions Act, Mr.
' Ross said. This tax finances re
i tirement payments and other
I benefits to workers qualifying.
| Form 942 accompanied by pay
ment of the tax for the quarter
j ended March 3t), should be filed
;by April 30. Failure to pay this
tax when due can result in ac
cumulated tax liability and inter
est and penalty charges. Your
nearest Internal Revenue Service
office will be glad to answer any
additional questions.
