The General Assembly is in
such a state of confusion that
nobody can be certain what tax
measures, if any, will come out
of it. Governor Maddox has laid
down very clearly his intentions
of vetoing every tax bill passed,
unless the sales tax increase
comes out of the legislature,
which, if the Governor follows
through on the threat, will brmg
wailing and gnashing of teeth
from the Highway Department.
And, of course, there is the
matter of appropriations for the
next fiscal year. This has been

1 held up because, as Committee
: Chairman James Floyd sensibly
. stated, they can't do much about
■ appropriations until they know
I how much money will be avail
> able. However, we would sur-
mise that this Committee will
1 pass out an appropriatons bill
dealing with only the amount of
money now available. This
would be about the same budget
as the State is operating under
now.
Then, the General Assembly
will meet in special session to
consider tax measures further.
We predicted this before the reg
ular session started, but with all
the hot issues involved in this
session, predictions can easily go
right out the window.

Two weeks ago, we wrote
about United States Senator Hol
lings, of South Carolina, and his
belated acknowledgement of hun
ger in his state. We said that it
looks to us as if he is a candid
ate for the 1972 Democratic nom
ination for Vice-President on the
liberal Edward Kennedy ticket.
Well, a reader thought this
’ over and came up with the con
; elusion that Senator Herman
' Talmadge is moving in the same
• direction. He gave a number of
• reasons for this opinion. For in
stance, he believes that Tal
l madge is “changing with the
■ times” and orienting his thoughts
i more to the liberal side, partic
• ularly in education, health and
■ welfare. “Not that the Senator
hasn't always been keenly con
■ cerned with these important
। functions in human existence”,
he said, “but for the first time
since going to the Senate he has
allowed the public to know of
this concern".
Also, the man said, Talmadge
must believe that the Kennedy
people realize that to carry the
South in 1972 they must have a
conservative on the ticket with
them, and Herman fills the bill
admirably —a conservative, but
one with a keen awareness of
the needs of the common man.
He would bring immeasurably
more strength to the Democratic
ticket than would Sen. Hollings.
There may be a lot to what
this reader says. Talmadge has
never made a public statement
that he has any further ambi
tions than doing a good job as
Senator, but he’s an ambitious
man and if the door opened, we
have no doubt he would give
serious consideraton to a Vice-
Presidential nomination. Too, he
admires Edward Kennedy very
much, as he has told the writer
more than once.
Who knows — in 1972 Herman
Talmadge may be the strongest
candidate for national office
since Dick Russell back in the
fifties.

A State official just back from
Washington tells us that the
Nixon administration has fired a
half dozen of the top men in the
Veterans Administration. Bill
Driver, Administrator, is staying
on, but on condition that he let
his chief assistants go. We
haven’t seen this announced
publicly, yet.

Former dean of the House,
Congressman Carl Vinson, has a
good pipeline into the White
House. Nixon’s chief legislative
aide, Bryce Harlow, was- Mr.
Vinson's protege years ago.

The rumor is out that State
Senator Brooks Pennington will
resign from the Senate shortly,
and may be a candidate for Com
missioner of Agriculture. Reports
say that he has told new Com
missioner Tommy Irvin that he
will run “if you don’t do a good
job”. Mr. Irvin will, undoubted
ly, do just that, but if Penning
ton does run, he’ll make a good
race, if for no other reason than
he has plenty of money to fi
nance a hard hitting campaign.

Congressman Mendel Rivers,
of South Carolina, who succeeded
his close friend Carl Vinson as
Chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee, has notified
State Veterans Service Director
Pete Wheeler that he’ll attend
the dedication on April 29 of the
new Veterans Home in Milledge

Maddox Urges
Parents To Help
Protect Schools
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox, addressing a
Murphy - Candler Elementary
PTA meeting in Lithonia the
other evening, warned parents
of the dangers confronting pub
lic school systems in Georgia
and elsewhere and called on
them to help retain local control
over the schools.
“Most of us do realize the
importance of education,” he
said. “What many of us don’t
realize, I’m afraid, is that these
same schools that we depend on
for the proper education of our
children can be used to destroy
our children’s beliefs in free
dom, democracy and their coun
try, and — as if that weren't
enough—they can serve to de
stroy a child's initiative and
ambition.
“It is these very dangers that
all parents, and all other peo
ple who are concerned with our
schools, should recognize — and
fight.”
Gov. Maddox emphasized he
was not attacking “our public
system of education,” but was
speaking out against “some of
the people who have been en
trusted with the operation of
this system,” and “some of the
ideas and policies that they have
plowed into our educational
processes.”
Continuing, the governor
talked of the Communist ene
mies of America who, he said,
are accomplishing “their dirty
work” by using “the Students
for a Democratic Society, the
Dußose Clubs, our schools, our
churches, our news media and
our federal government.”
“To combat these forces,” he
asserted, “we must realize that
the main danger that confronts
our public school system-—and
the proper education of our chil
dren—is the loss of local control
over our schools.”
Gov. Maddox concluded his
hard-hitting speech to parents
in these words:
“Here in Georgia we have
made tremendous advances in
improving the educational fa
cilities across the state. We
have met the demand for new
school buildings, new materials
and new teachers. Proposals
have been made and plans are
under way to make our school
system even better.
"Plans are now being studied
to provide additional funds to
county and city school systems
across Georgia—funds that will
improve existing facilities and
build new ones; funds that will
provide new teaching materials
and create a more attractive
pay scale for employees of our
school systems.
“But, all the new materials
and facilities will be of little
value if they are not put to the
proper use in the education of
our children. You, the members
of the PTA, have the closest
contact with the officials of
your school systems. You are
the ladies and gentlemen who!
through constructive action, can
have a large part in assuring a
proper education for our chil
dren.
“When you see local control
of your schools being taken
away by others whose interest
is not in the proper education
of your children make your pro
tests loud and firm.”
TRAVEL GOOD FOR NERVES!

"Getting away from it all” is not
only healthy say psychologists — it's
necessary! A two-week vacation usually
does the trick.
It's not just the discovery of excit
ing new places, it’s the opportunity for
a family to be together under relaxed .
conditions. Luckily for Americans,
travel in the U.S. is easy -some people
return from a vacation needing a rest.
But, travel agents help out in advance
by planning your vacation and making
reservations, free-of-charge. April 21-
27 is "Discover America Vacation Plan

ahead so that last minute vacation

Drawing Os
State’s Float In
Smithsonian
ATLANTA (PRN) - The
Smithsonian Institution has
notified Georgia officials that
the original drawing of the
state’s float in President
Richard M. Nixon’s Inaugural
Parade has been enshrined in
the national museum.
The drawing is being
incorporated in the collection
of inaugural memorabilia in
the Smithsonian’s Division of
Political History. C. Malcolm
Watkins, Chairman of the
Department of Civil History,
said, “Since we do not already
have an original drawing of a
float in our collection, it is a
most worthwhile addition to
the collection.”
The Georgia float was the
only one of the state
sponsored floats to be
honored in such a manner by
the Smithsonian Institution.
The 40-foot long float
depicted a typical Southern
garden scene with columns,
statuary and a reflection pool.
It was designed and built by
Earl Hargrove, a former
Georgian now living in the
Washington area.
The original artist’s
rendering of the Georgia float
was presented to the
Smithsonian Institute by the
Tourist Division of the
Georgia Department of
Industry and Trade.

We’ve done so many wonderful
things with wool, a sheep might
not recognize his own coat, once
he’s been shorn.
Wool has been woven into fab
rics so sheer they drape like silks.
Some woolens are even soil and
water resistant, making upkeep
easier.
But what do you do about a
woolen dress .or suit still too clean
to send to the cleaners, yet too
wilted looking to wear?
Try sizing.
You may have already tried
sizing to add “like new" body to
summer cottons and synthetics.
Now research studies show that
women have tried sizing on
woolens and have been delighted
with results. Magic sizing gives
