REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
WE HAVE LOLLOWED ihe maneuvering toward arrang
ing peace talks on Viet Nam with a great deal of interest, when
it was possible to see through some of the smoke of our burning
cities, ano it is our earnest hope that North Viet Nam will bring
to the conference table the full and sincere intention of talking
real peace.
Hanoi must be earnest in a desire to end the war in Viet
Nam, and the United States must not permit the Communists to
stage the peace move as just a ploy to stall and gam time.
For om part, the United States government has made it
clear mans times in the past that we are genuinely interested in
discussing ways and means for halting the war in Viet Nam.
ami that we want to see an end to the fighting and the bloodshed
at the earliest possible moment. At the same time, we have
emphasized that we covet no territory and desire no control over
any other nation.
For any peace talks that arc to be meaningful, Hanoi must
demonstrate the same resolve.
1111' VIE I NAM W AR, which has taken a heavy toll in
lives and eaten up billions of dollars, is regarded as this nation’s
most frustrating conflict in our history, and the American people
are badly divided over our involvement there.
I his war has been prolonged for far too long already with
out very much to show for it. It has in fact the characteristics
of a stalemate, a very costly and deadly one.
But. nonetheless, I hope that our efforts in Viet Nam have
made it clear that the United States does not intend to sit idly
by and watch the world swallowed up piece by piece by Com
munist aggression, ami this determination ought to be under
scored in the course of any negotiations with North Viet Nam.
Wl II WE ALLOWED the war to be fought on ( ommunist
terms, but we ought not to let the Communists dictate the terms
of peace.
Ihe United States policy for peace in Viet Nam should be
one of firmness rather than appeasement and accommodation
which in the long run will only invite more Communist aggression
and result in our involvement in battlefronts in other parts of
the world.
The Red Cross Bloodmobile Will
Be In Pembroke On May 3
The Red Cross Blood Mobile will be set up at the Bryan
County High School on Friday, May 3 to give the citizens of
Bryan County an opportunity to donate blood to protect them
mid their families. If you donate a unit of blood at the gym
,"ou will receive a credit card that will cover you and your
lamily should you need blood. You should read the instructions
in the back of the card and follow them to the letter, as your
Red Cross can not help unless they know the need. Even if
you are in the Gallon Club you must let Red Cross know your
need so that they can let the proper people know that you are
covered under the program. Help Red Cross help by letting them
know you are in trouble.
Blood is ever in demand as sickness and injury take no
holiday. The need for blood grows each day as new methods for
treating the sick are found, today it takes ten pints of blood
every minute to treat the sick and injured in the U. S. The
people that are treated in local hospitals must realize that with
out a good supply on hand at the time of need they may not
get this life saving blood to give them a new or better chance.
Let s all try to see that we can give every one a chance if they
need it. Be sure to donate your gift of life on Friday from 3:00
p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

I
Gov. Lester Maddox
Reports People
ATLANTA (PRN)--As
political activity picks up and
more and more rumors
circulate about what your
governor may or may not do at
the Democratic National
Convention in Chicago, I want
to say to you here what I said to
the Young Democrats on the
campus of the University of
North Carolina last week.
If Democrats are to retain
the White
I House in
| 1968, we
I must look
to Ameri
cans of
S every per
suasion and
• get a cross
•section of
| American
thought. We
must ask questions of Eugene
McCarthy and be respectful
enough to listen to his answers.
We must listen to what Hubert
Humphrey has to say; he speaks
for many voters. And in our
search for a platform, we must
not ignore the voice of the
conservatives, such as George
Wallace and Lester Maddox.
We, too, represent the views of
many Americans, not only in
the South, but in Detroit, in
San Francisco, in Denver and in
every area of this nation.
We must nominate
candidates who will represent
both Negroes and whites, both
liberals and conservatives, and
both the hawks and the doves.
But more importantly, our
candidates must find favor with
those citizenswhodonot think
of themselves as Negro voters
and/or white voters; the
uI tra conservatives and the
ultra-liberals must be heard,
but their voices must not be
allowed to drown out all
others; we must debate with
the intellectualsand walk in the
fields with the farmer, but we
must not be overcome by fancy
words or the sweet small of
grass.
Our candidates must find
favor with Americans who will
be going to the polls to vote as
Americans!
They will be voting for equal
rights of all citizens. They will
be voting for jobs for the
jobless, training for the
unskilled, food for the hungry
care for the sick, and dignity
for all men.
And at the same time they
will be voting for a return of
law and order to this country;
for protection from rioters,
looters, arsonists and
murderers.
The American voter will
demand that the Constitution
of the United States be
interpreted to guarantee equal
freedoms to all the people, but
at the same time they will
demonstrate their weariness at
having the rights of one citizen
sacrificed for the wishes of
another.
Millions of Americans are
not looking at party labels.'
They are looking for candidates
with courage, candidates that
talk common sense and stand
strong for America. If the
Democrats offer such
candidates, rather than more
excuse; and causes for the
major problems that confronts
us, then-and only then- will we
Democrats retain control of the
White House and the Congress.
Those are some of the
qualifications 1 am looking foi
in a candidate I may be willing
to lower them but in exchange 1
would expect my fellow
Democrats to reciprocate by
raising their qualificat ions a bit.
I am trying to be the kind of
public official 1 have
outlined--the kind 1 am
convinced most Georgians
want. I promised that ours
would be a people’s
administration, that we would
in truth have government of,
for and by the people.
The Maddox administration
is meeting that pledge. More
people, Negro and white, have
visited the office of Governor
since I have occupied it than in
any other governor's entire
term of office. I am told by
some of the old timers at the
Capitol that in the fifteen
months that I have been
governor more Negro citizens
have visited that office than in
the last fifty years. I hear from
Georgians from all walks, from
every county in the state and 1
believe I know what people are
thinking.
This nation) has grown to its
present power and wellbeing as
a Democracy; it does not have
to be turned into a
Socialocracy for all its citizens
to continue to enjoy the
liberties and the blessings all are
bom with.
And those of us who see
where the anarchy and the
madness will Lad are doing,
and will continue to do
everything in our power to
preach sanity, to preach a
return to law and order, to
preach a return to
Constitutional government, to
preach a return to person’s
right to enjoy private property,
and a .community’s right to
improve and enjoy it own
schools without the threat of
having its children uprooted
and bussed across town into
schools which have had little
work, less pride, and no love at
all lavished on them.

condone the bussing of little
children away from their
communities and schools in

out here and move across town
to balance things up . . .
Or: you’ll just have to give
up your job and home here and

sound now.

those who want jobs, and who
want dignity, and who want the

jobs, and through a stable and

those who spend so much
planning and energy and
violence in marching ask
themselves if they-would erect
a million-dollar industrial plant
in an area, a city, or a state
where it stands a good chance
of being burned to the ground.
