UOer Maddox Report People ATLANTA (PRN) - The crime rate in this nation is rising some eleven times faster than the population growth. Why? 1 don’t believe there is any one answer, but there is one overall atmosphere of permissiveness on the part of officials in government and apathy on the part of rank and file citizen which has contributed greatly to the problem. Now. supposedly, a person who com mil s a crime, willingly and know ingly, is a criminal. Actually, even ignorance of the law is not usually considered an excuse. A man who commits a crime is a criminal, whether he is black or white, old or young, rich or poor. But, time and again, we have seen criminals excused for, and sometimes even encouraged in their crimes by public officials and some do-gooder citizens who think it’s all right to shoot down policemen, bum down shops and factories, loot, vandalize and intimidate businessmen and do anything else you want to — if you happen to be anything other than a white, middleclass citizen. But I submit that neither Jibing black, .poor or young •constitutes a legitimate excuse for ignoring the rights of others through lawless actions. Our courts have evolved from their role as protectors of the public to protectors of the criminal. In a misguided attempt to serve “justice,” they have served only to add to the chaos and confusion which reigns supreme when law and order are tossed out the window. When persons who are known to be guilty of murder, rape, arson, anarchy and other crimes against persons and against our State and nation are set free because of some dubious technicality, then there mu st be something wrong with the system In any civilization, a society CITY DAIRY CO.

It distresses me to see many of our fine churches and universities leading the march to destroy America by destroying the integrity, the morals and the sense of responsibility of our young people. Time and again, we have seen cowardly, inept, confused and befuddled college officials knuckle under to pressures from a minority of half-witted, fuzzy faced,anti-American and anti-authority nincompoops whose admitted objectives are to destroy the educational institutions in America. And giving in to the first unreasonable demand is just like giving a child half a cookie. The one half only whets his appetite for the other, and if throwing a tantrum got him the first half, then he’ll throw a tantrum in order to get the other half. W e see the same psychological principles operating within our welfare system I’m 100 percent for helping the have-nots who cannot, but I’m 200 percent against helping the have nols who will not. I’m fed up with trying to pull up bums by pulling the achievers down. We are already spending enough on welfare to feed all the hungry people, but many still go hungry because we are feeding too many just plain lazy people, and financing too many high priced satchel toters. What we need to give the bums is .a little sell-rising power, namely - “if you don’t work you don’t eat.” And we have a 10l of will-nols who have learned that they can get their own way by throwing tantrums. Some of them have even organized a union through which to “demand” their so-called “welfare rights” and to send lobbyists to Washington to pressure legislators. My friends, 1 am a firm believer in the Bible, and I don’t make any secret of it. And Jesus teaches us that to help another person in need is doing the work of the Lord. But He also held the slothful in disdain. And so does lister Maddox. Politics oAi Paradi "By /WX MHiams We’re happy to note that the Atlanta Journal finally did a story on our scoop of last week concerning Julian Bond, extrava gant OEO grants and a possible black town in Southwest Geor gia. The Journal didn’t mention Bond, but we’re told they’ll write about this when they're able to prove Bond’s public re lations outfit, Frontiers Unlim ited, was paid $158,000, plus ex penses, as a consulting fee by the Washington office of OEO. This $l5B PER DAY fee to Bond and his associates for 1,000 consultant days can be easily proven by the Journal man in Washington, or if the OEO won’t let him see their records, ask Dick Russell or Jlerman Tal madge to make the request. We’re told that Senator Tal madge and other Georgia law makers weren’t familiar with the case until our column hit Washington, but that now Her man is about as upset about it as Senator Russell, and has asked the President’s legislative aide, Bryce Harlow, to come to the Senate and explain the deal to Talmadge. Here’s more on the whole sor did story, which the Atlanta Journal can check out if they wish. Frontiers Unlimited was incorporated in April, 1969, with the following incorporators: Lon nie C. King, John C. Lewis and Charles A. Black, all civil rights activists. The business was or ganized "for pecuniary gain”, and 300,000 shares of stock issued at 50c per share. Business could begin with a capital of SSOO. At torney for petitioners was May nard Jackson, candidate for Vice-Mayor of Atlanta. A part of their privileges states that they can "provide to local, state, national and inter national governments any and all services”, etc. Just what do they mean by "international governments"? Are they mean ing the United Nations or world wide Communism, or what? At any rate, we believe there’s a first rate example of waste of taxpayers money, plus maybe some chicanery in government, (6 be exposed here if the proper people will’ go into it tfiorougWy — even if the “fairhaired boy” Julian Bond is involved. ****** W. J. Gregson, Atlanta archi tect, became convinced several years ago that the west wall of the Capitol Building in Washing ton is in eminent danger of fall ing down. He began a nationwide campaign through the press, with the National Association of Registered Architects (which Gregson founded, incidentally) and with national lawmakers, from the President on down, to Emory To Conduct Group Behavior Institute ATLANTA (PEN) Dr. Edgar Auerswald, a New York City psychiatrist and authority on group behavior, will direct activities at Georgia’s Sixth Annual Institute on Group Behavior and Group Leadership at Callaway Gardens, Pine Mountain, Ga., October 15 • 18, 1969. The four-day meeting is sponsored by the Department of Psychiatry. Emory University School of Medicine. Dr. Bernard C. Holland, Chairman of the Emory' Department of Psychiatry, said the program is designed to provide an educational experience for members of the helping professions and others who desire to learn more about the emotional behavior of groups. The institute will International Paper Company Declares Bryan County 1969-70 Hunting Permits The Georgia ’69-70 hunting season is now underway. The gun season for deer has been set from October 15. 1969 through January 3. 1970. In keeping with recent policy, International Paper Com pany will again allow public hunting on their Bryan County lands. Hunting will be by permit. The permits will cost $25.00 for the season. In addition, a maximum of ten passes will be issued on a daily basis at $5.00 apiece. Seasonal permits will also be limited. Beginning Monday. September 15. 1969, and continuing through the week permits will be put on general sale. These may. be obtained between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the International Paper Company office in Richmond Hill. Hunters will be required to show their 1969-70 Ga. hunting license. Non-residents must produce a valid Ga. non-resident license. Every applicant will be given a map of the'area with re stricted zones clearly shown and a list of regulations. These rules are imposed for the benefit of the sportsman. Com pany officials implore all Coastal Empire huntsmen to abide by these codes for a safe and successful season afield. get something done. At last he has succeeded. Just last week congress set up tne first stage money of s4s,uou,uuu to build an other west wail. And architect Gregson made no effort to get the job for his firm. ****** A new organization to pur chase, develop and manage mo bile home parks in uroan areas of Georgia has been formed by some of the state's top leaders in politics and business. Called Mobdand, Inc., the omcers and directors include former Gov ernor Ernest Vandiver, State Democratic Treasurer Bill Tnppe, Lockheed president Tom May, Harold Joiner, former pub lic relations man to Lt.-Gov- George T. Sinitn, and James C. Cruikshank, Vice-rresident of Dairy Queen. Fmeen omer lead ing political and business figures from througnoui tne state are among those in on the start of the company. ****** While two insurance companies were raising their rates on homeowners insurance (and In surance Commissioner Jimmy Bentley ordering them to void the increases), tne second larg est company doing this business, Cotton States, was lowering its rates. ****** Legislators in the House Ap propriations Committee say that they are not going to approve any supplementary appropria tions to tne state budget in the 1970 session of the General As sembly, even though many de partments are already planning to ask for increases. The legisla tors say that they will consider supplementary appropriations for the fiscal year, July 1, 1970 through June 30, 1971, but NONE for the present fiscal year. Politically wise department heads won't make any such re quests this year. ****** We hear that an effort will be made in the 1970 legislative ses sion to revert the State's schools to 11 grades, plus a statewide kindergarten system. It is said that the cost will be about the same as are the present 12 grades. ****** On Monday, Sept. 8, the At lanta Model Cities program ap proved a grant of $16,000 to May nard Jackson, candidate for VicerMayor of Atlanta, and Wey man Wright, Negro President of the Young Democratic Clubs of Georgia, et al (we don’t know who the "et al" is), for "Com munity Resources Development" — whatever that is.

Emory University, Atlanta, Ga. 30322. j Herman Talmadge REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE SCHOOL HAS STARTED AGAIN in Georgia and through out the South and thousands upon thousands of needy children are being denied their full share of education because of civil rights action by the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. This occurs at a time when virtually all the agencies of the federal government are working day and night to fight poverty and increase educational opportunities. Yet, we have H.E.W. cutting off badly needed funds and bringing educational programs to a standstill where they are needed the most. School lunches for hungry children have been totally wiped out or drastically curtailed. Educational programs, such as remedial reading and special teaching, designed especially for economically deprived school children, have been crippled. In short, those who need help the most —black and white —are the ones being hurt the worst. * * * H.E.W. HAS GONE FAR beyond the law. It was not the intent of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to cut off funds for school lunch programs or to shut down educational programs for poor children. In fact, it was specifically stated by even the most ardent sup porters of that bill that this not only would not but should not happen. But H.E.W. through its school "guidelines” has made new law contrary to the intent of the Congress. The Department has attempted to enforce its own law by getting a financial strangle hold on local school officials. Some courts at last are beginning to take notice. The Fifth -Circuit Court of Appeals in a recent Florida case accused H.E.W. of abusing the intent of Congress by acting so arbitrarily in cutting off school funds en masse. * * * THE SCHOOL SITUATION in Georgia is now before the courts and primary responsibility has been removed from H.E.W. I hope the courts will restore this complicated problem to its proper perspective. There has been too much forced student and faculty assign ments, closing of schools, and busing of children based on arbitrary percentages and ratios dreamed up by somebody in Washington. I have asked Secretary Finch not to withhold any more funds front Georgia school systems. I have urged him to restore funds to schools already cut off. These funds are needed. Thousands of deprived children need their benefits, in terms of food and an adequate education. Secre tary Finch can strike a blow for education by following my advice. £ "%'S THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL • Liked By Many • Cussed By Some b Read By Them All Pre \ f re.

For example, 1,511 drivers had their licenses suspended during the first eight months of this year for refusing to take a drunk-driving test under the law passed by the 1968 General Assembly. This was revealed in a report of the State Patrol’s License Revocation Unit released by Col. R. H. Burson, director of the Georgia Department of Public Safety. The “implied consent” law became effective last Dec. 1 but was not implemented until January, 1969, hence no com parable statistics exist. However, the report shows that the patrol revoked the li censes of 10,919 drivers convict ed of driving under the influ ence of intoxicants during this year’s 8-month period, an in crease of 1,139 over a year ago. The 1968 law rests on the as- MF W POULAN HCVV SUPER SB MORE POWER HOW! SAME POWER LATER! Top money maker for pulpwood and saw log production. You get super lugging power in the world’s toughest saw.

It authorizes a mandatory breath or blood test for drivers who have been arrested and are believed to be “driving under the influence” by the arresting officer. The suspect may take either the blood or the breath test. If he refuses to take the blood test, he must take the breath test if an “Intoximeter” is available or his license will be suspended for six months. License suspension is not ef fective until he is notified in writing by the Safety Depart ment. He is then entitled to a hearing before the department. If convicted of driving under the influence, a person may have his license revoked for 30 days on the first offense, six months on the second offense, and three years on the third, it was pointed out.
