Surtax Did Not
Curb Inflation,
Talmadge Said
ATLANTA, (GPS) — As
?hairman of the Joint Economic
Committee’s Subcommittee on
Economic Statistics, U. S, Her
man E. Talmadge opened hear
ings in Washington on the sta
tistics of inflation and job vac
ancies with pertinent remarks
regarding both items on the
agenda. Said he:
“The galloping inflation that
grips our economy has created
a national problem that could
become a national crisis. The
5.1 per cent rate of inflation
we experienced during the past
year has robbed the American
consumer of much of his pur
chasing power.
“To the family who must buy
a home and pay 8 per cent in
terest, to the couple who can
no longer afford to dine out oc
casionally, to the housewife
who finds that she must work
harder to stretch her food dol
lar, inflation is not just some
thing you read about in the
daily newspapers. It is a harsh
reality.
“Most distressing is the fact
that the anti-inflationary meas
ures taken during the past year
seem to Rave had no effect.
The American taxpayer was
told that the 10 per cent tax
surcharge was necessary to
stem the tide of inflation.
“Now, almost a year later, he
finds that inflation is worse
than ever. During the first
quarter of 1969, prices rose 1.5
per cent. In March, prices rose
at an annual rate of 9.6 per
cent."
Regarding the second item
concerning his committee—job
vacancies—Sen. Talmadge said
that “although the rate of un
employment is currently only
3.5 per cent of the labor force,
2,540,000 people are out of
work.”
“I believe," he continued,
“that a nation-wide prorgam
for the regular collection of job
vacancy data would assist these
2.5-million to get jobs, and
would make our rate of unem
ployment even lower.
“While some people are un
able to find jobs, many indus
tries complain of cronic short
ages of workers ... I feel that
the government must do a bet
ter job of matching job seekers
with job vacancies."
TAKE DISHWASHER!
Do you have a place in the
mountains or at the seashore oi
in the country where you
spend your vacation and. week
ends all summer long ? When
you take off for this summer
retreat, la? sure to consider
taking along your portable
automatic dishwasher. You’ll
be glad you did. A General
Electric Mobile Maid portable
dishwasher can be loaded eas
ily into a station wagon along
with luggage and other para
phernalia necessary for sum
mer living. A dishwasher is s
special blessing when extra
dishes accumulate with guests
popping in at all hours. Soiled
dishes can be stashed away out
of sight,, keeping the kitchen
neat and clean. When there’s s
full load, turn the dial and let
the dishwasher do all the work
It will wash everything from
pots and pans to delicate china
and crystal. No hand rinsing or
scraping is ever necessary with
the 3-level Thoro-Wash and
built-in soft food disposer.

Outdoors Group
Seeking To Get
Funds Restored
ATLANTA, (GPS) — With
public demand increasing for
more outdoor recreation
throughout the nation, the
board of directors of the Na
tional Association of State
Outdoor Recreation Liaison Of
ficers is seeking more federal
funds as a means of accelerat
ing the program.
State Parks Director John L.
Gordon, a director who attend
ed the association’s recent
meeting at Jekyll Island, said
the group is seeking to have a
28 per cent cut in outdoor rec
reation funds allotted to the
various states restored. This
was one of a number of major
items discussed at the meeting,
the first to be held in Georgia
by the national association.
Meeting with the directors
were several federal officials,
including Undersecretary of the
Interior Harrison Loesch; Bu
reau of Outdoor Recreation
Acting Director I-awrence N.
Stevens; Roy Wood, the bu
reau’s Southeast Regional Di
rector. Ney I^andrum of Talla
hassee, Fla., president of the
national association, presided
over the two-day session.
Talmadge Again
Blasts Hew For
Lunch Cutoffs
ATLANTA, (GPS) — When
the Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare cut off fed
eral school-lunch funds to the
Washington County school sys
tem the other day, U. S. Sen.
Herman E. Talmadge hit the
floor—the Senate floor, that is.
In a ktrongly-worded speech,
the Georgia senator was sharp
ly critical of HEW Secretary
Robert Finch for pursuing this
course. He charged that the
action deprives needy children
of school lunches as a means of
forcing integration.
“In February," Talmadge
said, "I wrote Secretary Finch
to ask that every consideration,
be given the Washington Coun
ty case in order to preserve the
system’s school lunch program
which was benefitting more 2,-
000 needy children, and prob
ably also giving them the only
nourishing meal they got each
day.
“In April, 1 received a reply
from Leon E. Panetta, director
of the HEW Office for Civil
Rights, who agreed with me
that cutting off these funds
would result in great human
suffering, especially for hungry
children.
“Then he went on to infer,
however, that HEW was prob
ably going to cut the money off
anyway. And this is what it has
done.
“I submit that this practice
of depriving school lunch
money in areas where there are
heavy concentrations of pov
erty-stricken youngsters con
tributes not only to the nial
nourishment of the children im-
mediately involved, but also to
the overall poverty problem in
such areas.
“I say that it must be stop
ped."
Sen. Talmadge quoted testi
mony given recently by Finch
before the Senate Select Com
mittee on Nutrition and Human
Needs in which he described
this situation as “a vexatious
dilemma/’ and said the secre
tary “acted as though he would
like to remove himself from
this dilemma.”
“I can tell him how he can
do it,” Talmadge asserted.
“Just stop taking away Educa
tional Act Title I funds that
are being utilized in lunch pro
grams to feed needy children.
“The secretary can do this
very simply by adhering to the
legislative history in both the
letter and the spirit of the law
under which he claims to be
operating, Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964.
“There is nothing in the law
that authorizes the withholding
of federal school lunch funds in
school desegregation noncom
pliance cases. In fact, the leg
islative history of the bill and
subsequent pronouncements of
Congress are to the contrary.”
While expressing hope that
Secretary Finch will take posi
tive action in exempting lunch
money “simply by adhering to
the expressed intent of Con
gress and by going by the law,”
Sen. Talmadge declared:
“Otherwise, I hope that the
Congress will see fit to act as
soon as possible on my bill
(now pending in the Senate) to
prohibit HEW from cutting off
Title I school lunch funds.”
No Way To Avoid
Special Session
Maddox Asserts
ATLANTA, (GPS)—“I am
well aware that if I fail in
my duty, many pockets of po
tential prosperity will become
pockets of pitiful poverty,” de
clared Gov. Lester G. Maddox
in a speech at the Cochran
Centennial Celebration in
Bleckley County.
"Democracy, as we know it,”
he said, “will be dealt a death
blow, and many cities and
counties will be holding funer
als, rather than birthday cele
brations. There is an old adage
which warns us to not put all
our eggs in one basket.
“Local governments now
have all their eggs in one
basket, and the basket is show
ing signs of wear. Almost the
entire burden of supporting
local governments traditionally
has been placed on the proper
ty owners."
Gov. Maddox said the prop
erty owner cannot continue to
carry the whole load of financ
ing the local governments. He
talked about his proposed one
per cent increase in statewide
sales tax which he said would
have furnished cities, counties
and local school systems with a
substantial source of revenue
other than ad valorem taxes.
“If this plan were imple
mented,” he declared, “it would
provide Bleckley County, its
cities and school systems near
ly a quarter of a million dollars
the first year.
“By the tenth year after it
it was in effect, the plan would
be bringing in some half a mil
lion dollars annually . . . But,
figuring conservatively, the
tax-sharing plan would give
your local governments and
school systems nearly $3.7-mil
lion over the first 10-year peri
od after implementation.
“And, the beauty of the whole
program is that no one person
or family would be hurt by it
... I tried to sell this life
saving plan for local govern
ments in the last session of the
Georgia General Assembly, but
the people, like those of you
, gathered here today, had not
let their voices be heard, and
so the program Was scrapped.”
Emphasizing that “time is
growing short," and “if prog
ress and prosperity are to be
brought to all Georgia com
munities, and not just some,”
Gov. Madox declared:
“I see no way of avoiding a
special session of the General
Assembly. Unless I am to be
derelict in my duty as governor
of Georgia. 1 must use the full
influence of the o^ice, and all
my energies to see that nothing
stands in the way of what has
been deemed absolutely essen
tial to the progress and future
economic security of all of our
■ people.”
For brides and everyone in
tune with today’s fashions, the
new coordinated panty hosiery'
fashion supplies the right end
ing to a happily-ever-after
story for high-riding hemlines.

fore being called as the pastor
of the Wildwood Baptist
Church, Larry has been an ac
tive supply speaker for a num
ber of churches.

Rountree stated.
Traffic Wrecks
Kill People In
Wholesale Way
ATLANTA, (GPS)—Traffic
accidents are responsible for
killing people on Georgia’s
highways in a wholesale way.
Proof of this is shown in a
State Patrol statistical report
released by Col. R. H. Burson,
director of the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Safety.
For example, multiple-dath
accidents (wrecks in which two
or more persons are killed in a
single accident) claimed the
lives of 495 persons in 198 such
accidents during 1968. This rep
resented 27.9 per cent of Geor
gia’s traffic death toll last year.
Eight accidents caused the
death of five persons in each
mishap —a total of 40 fatali
ties.
In 17 crashes, four persons
lost their lives in each—a total
of 68.
In 41 other accidents, three
fatalities resulted in each one
—a total of 123 victims.
There were 132 accidents in
which two persons had their
lives snuffed out in each —a
total of 264 deaths.
This violent type of accident
that liquidates tw'o or more
persons in a single crash was
largely responsible for bring
ing Georgia’s 1968 traffic death
toll to a record high of 1,780.
"This is wholesale slaughter
of human lives and there is no
justification for it,” declared
Col. Burson. "Speeding, which
results in head-on collisions,
running off the road and other
explosive crashes, is a leading
cause of these tragic accidents.
“One of the saddest aspects
of this situtaion is the fact
that many of these people in
volved are the innocent victims
of a rash act on the part of a
thoughtless, foolhardy driver.
Until the individual driver
makes up his mind to obey all
of our traffic laws, and to drive
carefully and sensibly at all
times, these needless killings
will continue.
"We of the State Patrol will
continue to do all within our
power and resources to pre
vent it, but in the final analy
sis it is up to the drivers them
selves to really stop it. We im
plore them to do that—and do
it now.”
