HOUSE JOURNAL
Representative Hall, Atlanta, Georgia.
Monday, January 14, 1957.
The Representatives-elect of the General Assembly Georgia for the years 1957-1958 met pursuant to law in the Hall of the House of Representatives at 10:00 o'clock, A. M., this day and were called to order by Honorable Joe Boone, Clerk of the House of Representatives.
Prayer was offered by Reverend Harvey Roughton, Pastor of Stapleton Methodist Church, Stapleton, Georgia, as follows:
King David had grown old and weary as ruler of the Kingdom, so he decided to turn it over to his young son Solomon.
David speaks to Solomon:
"I go the way of all the earth; be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man; and keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou does, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself". (I Kings II 7-3)
Solomon felt very keenly the responsibility, so Solomon speaks to God in prayer in these words:
"And Solomon said, thou hast showed unto thy servant David, my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness that thou has given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. And now, 0 Lord my God, thou has made thy servant King instead of David my father; and I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or come in and thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou has chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
"Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people that I may discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?" (I Kings III 6-9)
God spoke to Solomon:
"And God said unto him, Because thou has asked this thing and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thy self, nor least asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thy self understanding to discern judgment;
Behold, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given thee a wise and understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and honour; so that there shall not 'be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days". (I Kings III, 11-14).

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Almighty God in whose hands doth rest the destiny of men and nations we pause at the very beginning of this session to recognize Thee and to acknowledge our utter and complete dependence upon Thee. We know that without Thee we can do nothing but with Thee all things are possible.
Amid the bewilderments of these confused and chaotic days, we like Solomon of old, pray for wisdom.
In these times that try men's souls we gird ourselves with thy strength to defend our liberties. Help us to be strong and courageous for the right.
We pray a special prayer for our Governor and all those who work with him as he faces the difficult and delicate problems of this desperate hour.
We pray for the Speaker and all the Members of this House as we take upon ourselves the responsibilities of these days. Help us to be good men, tried and true, and found not wanting. Men who will defend the high ideals and principles upon which our State and Nation was founded and upon which we have grown great.
These blessings we ask in the name of Him whom we call Wonder ful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

The following communication from Honorable Ben W. Fortson, Jr., Secre tary of State, certifying the Representatives-elect for the years 1957-1958, was received and read:

The following address was delivered by Governor S. Marvin Griffin:

LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR VANDIVER, SPEAKER MOATE, MEM BERS OP THE SENATE AND OF THE HOUSE OF REPRE SENTATIVES AND MY FELLOW GEORGIANS:
My report to you today on the "State of the State" is an encourag ing one from the standpoints of both growth and progress.
All Georgians--men, women and children alike--are sharing in full measure the broad expansion and wide extension of governmental services and unprecedented prosperity.
But, unfortunately, these advancements are being threatened ruth lessly through unwarranted and unauthorized interference by the fed eral judiciary in the purely internal affairs of the States.
The very foundation of our system of constitutional government is being shaken.
In this crisis, Georgia stands firm.
Outside agitators have been served with notice by Marvin Griffin that we will permit nothing to interfere with the hard-won achieve ments now being made by our people.
Our precious institutions stand free and unsullied in this perilous hour.
We have kept the faith.
We pledge ourselves anew to stand resolute, determined and un daunted in the future.
Georgia's government is sound, solvent and sovereign.
A forward-looking State administration is meeting well and suc cessfully the people's needs.
There is no need for any new taxes.
We can do the job in the coming biennium by continuing to elimi nate non-essential expenditures.
We shall carry forward our policy of using every dollar of State income wisely to obtain maximum results.

GEORGIA PROGRESS UNPRECEDENTED
Now, my friends, as we arrive at the halfway mark in the present administration the time has come to take stock of what we have done for the good of present and future generations of Georgians.
This progress lies generally in two broad fields. One is the wide spread construction of new permanent facilities of all kinds to serve

34

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the public. The other encompasses substantial expansion and improve ment of governmental services.
Let me discuss with you the results of the program in this sequence. Let me show how an active State administration has helped enrich the economy of the State by providing manifold new opportunities for Georgia citizens.
First and foremost, this administration has exceeded all others in the history of our State in providing adequate educational facilities. The welfare of Georgia boys and girls in both our common schools and university system is receiving first consideration in this adminis tration.
SCIENCE CENTER
Recognizing the needs of new industry for personnel trained in science and engineering, I approved recently a Board of Regents' re quest for immediate construction of the entire nine-million-dollar science center at the University of Georgia in Athens.
This mighty concourse of learning will be flanked by buildings dedicated to the teaching of physics, biological sciences, chemistry and the animal sciences.
It is one of the greatest contributions ever made to higher educa tion in the South and puts our State at the very pinnacle of leadership in these fields of study in the nation.
I am proud of it.
I know that you are, too.
Many other major improvements have been made in the 16 units of the University System of Georgia.
At Athens this administration either has completed, has approved or has underway a law and graduate dormitory, $450,295.00; the initial section of a fine arts center, $500,000.00 and a poultry research building $238,400.00.
At Dublin, under the Agriculture Extension Service, a new 4-H Club Camp Center for Negro boys and girls is being constructed at a cost of $200,000.00.
At the same time, major new projects have been undertaken at the Georgia Institute of Technology. These include a new classroom building, $2,400,332.00 and an experimental reactor physics and radio active isotopes laboratory, $300,000.00.
The latter, when completed, will make possible both teaching and research programs in atomic science and will afford graduate labora tory courses in this important work as well.
These facilities also will provide for extensive research which will benefit industry, agriculture, medicine and other activities in our State.
Other units in the University System receiving major plant addi tions under the present administration include:
Statesboro, Classroom and science building, $687,291.00;

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1957

35

Milledgeville, Nursery School, $45,000.00;
Dahlonega, Armory-drill hall-gymnasium, $782,370.00;
Cochran, Science Building and President's Home, $269,251.00;
Carrollton, Infirmary and Annex to Dormitory, $229,237.00;
Douglas, Science Building, $234,251.00;
Tifton, Annex to men's dormitory and renovation and enlargement of heating system, $228,667.00;
Valdosta, Annex to Library, $127,400.00;
Fort Valley, Health and Physical Education Building, $450,000.00,
Graduate Education Building $386,378.00 and Dairy Expansion Proj ect, $60,000.00;
Savannah, Library, $450,000 and Technical and Trades Building, $900,000.00 and at Albany, Annex to the Practice School, $120,000.00.
Miscellaneous warehouse additions for the system account for an other $137,500.00.

ATOMIC ENERGY HEADQUARTERS
Through the State Board of Regents, Georgia will construct a $250,000.00 headquarters to house the Southern Regional Education Board which is helping to coordinate nuclear development here in the Southeast. Georgia will be reimbursed for its cost.
This administration has provided $18,615,039.00 for all these im provements in the University System which I have just enumerated.

SCHOOL BUILDING
Turning to common schools, we find that the State School Build ing Authority construction program has reached into virtually every nook and corner of the State.
Since January 11, 1955, new school projects have been completed, au thorized, let to contract or placed under construction in 151 of the 200 county and independent school systems. Their combined value totals $123,961,450.00.

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION
Another major and far-reaching activity being carried on by this administration is the construction of highways, rural roads, urban and interstate routes as well as reconstruction and maintenance.
From January 1, 1955, to January 1, 1959, the total of state and federal funds available for highway improvement in Georgia will aggregate the astounding figure of $502,637,335.53.
You must remember that $100,000,000.00 of this amount is for rural roads alone which are being built under the Rural Roads Au thority created and sponsored by this Administration.

36

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

HEALTH FACILITIES
Cost of hospitals, health clinics and related facilities completed, approved or underway during this Administration amount to a total expenditure of $17,294,364.00 in State, Federal and local funds.
Included in this humanitarian undertaking are nine hospitals lo cated at Warm Springs, Summerville, Colquitt, Forsyth, Gumming, Lawrenceville, Monroe, Dallas and Jesup.
Major additions have been built to existing hospitals at Bruns wick, Albany, Gainesville, Franklin, Duluth, Greensboro, Thomasville, LaGrange and Marietta.
Health Clinics have been completed, approved or are underway in nineteen communities including Bainbridge, Talbotton, Madison, Alma, Lawrenceville, Dawson, Thomaston, LaFayette, Macon, Hinesville, Dahlonega, Adel, Reidsville, Metter, Forsyth, Cochran, Sylvania, Kirkwood and Jonesboro.
Additions to public health clinics have been completed in College Park, East Point, Lakewood, Center Hill, Atlanta and other additions are under construction in Waycross and Statesboro.
Other public health buildings under construction or approved embrace a nurses training facility at Macon City Hospital, diagnostic and treatment centers at Albany and Emory University Clinic; a nurs ing home at Moultrie; two rehabilitation centers, one at Savannah and the other at the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation and a Chronic Disease facility at Marietta's Kennestone Hospital.

INSTITUTIONAL IMPROVEMENTS
Equally impressive are the improvements being made by the pres ent Administration at our State eleemosynary institutions.
At Milledgeville State Hospital we have underway or in the plan ning stage reconstruction of the Administration Building, $1,550,000; a new laundry, $300,000.00; water system extension, $325,000.00; dormitories for the colony farm, $187,500.00 and miscellaneous im provements, $60,000.00.
Most of you are familiar with the heart-breaking conditions which existed for so many years at the school for mentally retarded children at Gracewood.
Crowded conditions, lack of proper facilities and an inadequate staff made it impossible to care for, properly, the children admitted to the institution. Hundreds of others were denied admission.
All of that is being corrected now as rapidly as possible.
We are transforming this institution from one of limited enrollment offering little more than custodial care to an institution giving treat ment, training and hope to a larger number of exceptional children.
New construction at Gracewood includes an activities building, $540,000.00; seven 50-bed dormitories and a hospital building, $1,187,500.00; one 80-bed dormitory wing, $80,000.00; central warehouses, $80,000.00 as well as reconstruction of existing wings, $70,000.00 and

improvements to the general plant such as equipment, farm improve ments, water system extension and others, $86,000.00.
At the Training School for White Girls at Adamsville, plans are being drafted for two new dormitories to cost $200,000.00.
Work is going ahead in Atlanta on a factory building for the blind which was destroyed by fire. This will cost $94,080.
Badly-needed developments are being provided at the School for the Deaf at Cave Spring and at the Academy for the Blind in Macon. At Cave Spring a new classroom-auditorium building and other improve ments have been authorized to cost $350,000.00.
At the institution for the blind at Macon the improvement plan includes a Physical Education Building costing $200,000.00. It will contain a swimming pool as well as special exercise equipment to instill new confidence in the children enrolled there.
For the North Georgia Trade School at Clarkesville, we have pro vided a girls dormitory, cafeteria and kitchen and an electronics shop building. At the South Georgia Trade School at Americus a new electronics shop building, an auto mechanics shop building and a girls dormitory are slated for early construction. Repairs and renovations are being made to other structures there. Improvements at both these schools total $990,730.00.
FORESTRY STRIDES
Removal of the State Forestry Department headquarters to Macon necessitated the erection of several new facilities to augment those already on the property acquired there. Among these are a new State forestry headquarters building, cone extractory, storage units, labora tory addition and other structures costing $286,900.00.
We have established the nation's largest pine tree seedling nursery at Reidsville State Prison at a cost of $300,000.00. Completion of this new nursery will push Georgia seedling production to 150 million trees annually, first in the entire country. It will enable Georgia to maintain her lead over all other states in reforestation and help our farmers to enjoy full benefits under the Soil Bank program.
We have provided for three new district forestry headquarters at Camilla, Milledgeville and Statesboro. These, together with expendi tures on county protection units and garages account for $97,750.00.
BRANCH PRISONS
Four new branch prisons in the corrections department system built with prison labor at Leesburg, Bainbridge, Waycross and Warm Springs are valued at $1,000,000.00.
ALCOHOLIC TREATMENT FACILITIES
Last July the State obtained fee simple title to the 42-acre Candler property on Briarcliff Road in Atlanta for use as the treatment facility of the Georgia Commission on Alcoholism.
Consideration for the transfer was $200,000.00, while another $214,000.00 was spent on repairs and equipment.

38

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

An Administration building was completed recently at a cost of $23,500.00.
Valued at over a million dollars, this plant along with its operation has attracted world-wide attention as a pioneer and leader in its field.

TALMADGE HOSPITAL OPENED
Early last year the huge $11,790,000 Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital and dedicated and placed in operation. This marked an im portant milestone in advancing both treatment and training at the Medical College of Georgia.

CAPITOL SQUARE IMPROVEMENTS
During 1956 we saw the dedication and occupancy of the magnifi cent new Judicial, Labor and Agriculture Buildings on Capitol Square. These additions have made it possible to bring together many widelyscattered State agencies, heretofore housed in rented quarters. They were built by the State Office Building Authority and represent an investment of $9,174,000.00.
Last month highway department functions were moved into new quarters and remodeling is progressing on renovation of former of fices. All of this work will cost $2,674,000.00.
Other permanent highway department structural improvements underway or completed during the last fiscal year are as follows: testing laboratory at Georgia Tech, $1,000,000.00; three new division headquarters, at Jesup, Thomaston and Tennille, $534,000.00 and a headquarters for the aerial photographic survey unit at the Atlanta Municipal Airport, $72,586.77.
Acquired for the State during the 1955-'56 fiscal year, at a cost of $450,776.00, was the 4-story, fireproof Kitchings Building on Pryor Street. Conveniently located near the Capitol, it is being used for record storage and as an annex to house part of the Secretary of State's office.
STATE PORT AUTHORITY
Your State Port at Savannah has completed another good year of self-liquidating, profitable operation. Its gross income since acquisi tion in 1949 exceeds $7,000,000.00.
Net profits, through efficiency in operation, have climbed steadily.
Three needed new berths are contemplated as an early addition by the Authority at an estimated cost of $$4,500,000.00.
Studies have been completed supporting the establishment of a bulk handling plant to receive ore shipments at the Savannah Port. Plans are being formulated for the establishment of a Port facility at Bruns wick.
The Authority is now turning its attention to the provision of barge terminals at Georgia's inland ports as our rivers are made navigable by new federal dams, river control projects and dredging operations.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1957

39

Already work is in progress on inland port facilities at Bainbridge on the Flint River at a cost of $250,000.00.
Similar installations will be established to serve other sections of the State as channels are deepened on rivers near other Georgia cities.

FISH HATCHERIES
Fishermen will be interested in the new Steve Cocke Fish Hatchery recently completed near Dawson at a cost of $159,111.00. It is con sidered a model in the nation and will augment the production of Geor gia's four other hatcheries by one and three-quarters million fish annually.
These will be used to stock the streams, huge public lakes and private ponds throughout the State. Realizing this expanding need, we have utilized another $50,000.00 to increase production at the Lake Burton Hatchery in Rabun County for Northeast Georgia.
Progress made in the propagation of fish stock for "good fish ing" in Georgia during the past two years has exceeded that of the previous sixteen years combined.

NEW STATE FARM MARKET
One of the really epoch-making undertakings for the furtherance of Georgia agriculture is the construction of the new $9,618,778.10 State Farmers Market on the South expressway below Atlanta. Consumers of farm products as well as farmers throughout the entire state will benefit materially from its establishment.
Approval was given last week for the expansion and improvement of existing farm markets at Cordele, Tifton and Thomasville. A new grading shed for Blue Ridge was authorized. The projects represent an expenditure of $330,745.00.

PUBLIC SAFETY HEADQUARTERS
For many years the several functions of the State Department of Public Safety have been housed in inadequate quarters on Confederate Avenue in Atlanta. A new patrol headquarters building just completed there will contribute greatly to more efficient operation in all divi sions of this work. This modern edifice represents an investment by the people of $1,089,000.00.

ARMORY CONSTRUCTION
This Administration feels that convenient armory installations should be located over Georgia in order that our young men can fulfill their military obligation by training close to home. Construction of these community facilities has been widespread during the last two years.
Such armories have been completed during this time in Albany, Winder, LaGrange, Cedartown, Newnan, Cordele, Americus, Douglas, Monroe, Jackson, Springfield, Reidsville, Thomson, Washington, Grif fin, Dawson, Swainsboro, Waycross, Waynesboro, Bainbridge, Thomaston, Thomasville, Toccoa, Elberton, Douglasville, Fitzgerald and For-

syth, representing a total outlay of local, state and federal funds of $2,588,152.36.
We have underway now new armories in Dalton, Eastman, Covington, Columbus, Dublin, Brunswick, Augusta, Hawkinsville and Valdosta costing $1,252,234.00,
In the planning stage are armories for Sandersville and Moultrie to be built at an estimated cost of $264,000.00.
Presently in the preliminary stage and authorized for construction are armories for Savannah, Canton, Louisville, Macon, Statesboro, Lyons and Montezuma to be built at an estimated cost of $1,880,000.00.

HUGE OUTLAY
Your State government is pacing the times. By that I mean that we are leaving nothing to chance in this great period of growth oppor tunity. These State building programs have had a tremendous impact in stimulating all lines of economic development. They have brought unprecedented business growth and are helping to create new job oppor tunities in rapidly-expanding industrial employment all over Georgia.
Summing up we find that lasting public improvements for which construction has been completed, approved or let to contract during this Administration represent the stupendous total of $718,439,864.76 or nearly three-fourths of a BILLION dollars.
Work actually done during the past two years and that scheduled to be accomplished during the next two years is unequalled for a comparable four-year period of time in the State's history.

INDUSTRY GROWTH
We are all proud of the fact that Georgia is now making the greatest progress in its history in the location of new industries in this State.
An intensive national advertising campaign is being carried out by the Georgia State Department of Commerce in cooperation with private enterprise on a 50/50 basis. Its purpose is to spotlight before the nation the prime advantages our State possesses as a location for business and industrial opportunities.
The State also has extended every cooperation to the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce which sponsors pilgrimages by repre sentative citizens to major trade and manufacturing centers of the east and mid-west. The purpose of these missions is not to pirate exist ing industry in those sections but to create a reservoir of good will for Georgia among the country's top business leaders.
It has been my privilege to speak to businessmen and industrial executives in New York, Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit and I plan to tell "the Georgia Story" in many other Cities during the next two years.
Year-end reports of the Georgia State Department of Commerce and the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce reveal that for the past

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1957

41

four consecutive years your State has led the entire South in the number of new industries established.
During 1956 a total of 360 new factories, large and small, were built costing $165 million dollars in capital expenditures. These plants are providing eleven thousand new jobs for Georgians with an in crease in the annual payroll of $32 million dollars.
These figures do not include many expansions by long-established Georgia firms estimated to exceed $150 million dollars for the year. They, too, will provide thousands of new employment opportunities.
During the 12-month-period over 2,000 new businesses were estab lished within our borders.
Georgia holds fourth place in the nation in the establishment of heavy industries since World War II yielding only to California, Texas and Ohio. She ranks fifth in the rate of increase among all the states in per capita income.
For the first time in Georgia business and industrial employ ment exceed one million wage earners.

FEDERAL AID
Georgia has forged into the lead in the Southeast in many other fields.
One of the most important of these is the fact that she stands first in the seven-state area in the total amount of federal funds brought into this State in benefits for our people under various match ing programs.
An alert state administration, taking advantage of all that is due Georgia, brought in $91,800,000 in federal grant payments in 1955, exceeding neighboring States in amounts ranging from $15 to $47 million dollars.
FARM GAINS
In the field of agriculture, your State is showing steady gains.
Cash receipts for crop and livestock products in Georgia for the first nine months of last year showed an advance of 3 per cent over the preceding year. This was done in spite of declines in the prices of many farm commodities, in spite of inflation and in spite of in creased costs of everything the farmer has to buy.
Through the State Department of Agriculture we are helping our farmers fight these problems of inflation and lower farm prices. We are doing this through disease eradication, improved marketing facili ties and procedures, better seed testing and inspection and stricter enforcement of agricultural laws.
Nearly two million dollars, more than a million of which is State funds, are being utilized this fiscal year for the eradication of livestock and poultry diseases under the cooperative state federal program.
Your State Administration is gratified at the advances being made in both industry and agriculture.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

EDUCATION
Our progress in education has been phenomental.
We believe that education is the soundest use to which we can put our State's resources. It is the best insurance policy for our childrens' future and the strengthening of our democracy.
More than 53$ of your State tax dollar now goes for education.
Our faith in education is demonstrated by the fact that this Administration has increased the budget for common schools and higher education by $35,000,000.00 more a year than was provided in any preceding year in our history.
What has this increased amount of money brought in terms of educational opportunity?
We have added 1,748 new teachers to our county and city systems and will add 1,000 more in the next two years.
Each teacher has been given a $300 a year across-the-board salary raise.
Support for vocational education and vocational rehabilitation has been increased substantially maintaining Georgia's high rating in these two vital fields of education.
Four hundred new school buses have been added.
Extra funds have been provided for transportation in order to maintain a level of parity for every county and to afford a smooth transition to the new consolidated systems.
The appropriation for University System operations has been in creased by $4,000,000.00. With this we have been able to employ 186 new professors and pay higher salaries to other faculty members.
At its last session the General Assembly adopted legislation author izing a floor of $100 per month in retirement pay to teachers with 35 or more years of service. Beginning October first last year this measure was placed in effect bringing added benefits to 1,456 retired teachers.
We added another item in the State Board of Education budget this year, one for $325,000.00 in State grants for salaries of 120 teachers who work with exceptional or handicapped children. A total of 2,600 children are now receiving such specialized training.

WELFARE BENEFITS
Another solid achievement of this Administration has been the expansion of the Welfare assistance program.
More than 7,500 needy Georgians have been added to the 148,645 persons receiving benefits in December, 1954.
Total payments since this Administration took office have been increased from $62,247,685.98 to $71,000,000 this year.
We have raised the average monthly award from $35.04 to $39.54 per individual.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1957

HEALTH SERVICES
An additional $1% million dollars has been provided for improved health services all along the line.
This has made possible more effective support for the statewide health program, for aid to crippled children and for Battey TB hospital. The outlay for local TB sanitoria has been doubled, thus facilitating out patient treatment.
Experimental pilot projects have been established with a view toward the installation of a statewide system of mental health treatment centers for both screening and out-patient care.

EXPANDED ROAD PROGRAM
Every effort is being made to prepare your State Highway De partment for the vast job ahead in carrying out the extended State and Federal programs. Strengthening of engineering and liaison procedures both with the Federal Bureau of Public Roads and with counties and cities is receiving careful attention.
Engineering will be accelerated with the lease of an electronic com puting device which will save thousands of man-hours by eliminating obsolete methods.
Our State boasts one of the finest aerial survey laboratories of any highway organization. Recent purchase of a twin-engine aircraft will expand and accelerate its operations.
Processing of the third phase of rural roads this month places us at nearly the halfway mark of this $100 million dollar program. For your information, 595 separate projects are included in the first three increments.
These are located on farm-to-market and school bus routes all over the State. They total 1,687 miles of grading and paving and another 797 miles of paving alone.
The total mileage of rural roads built already or slated for early improvement is 2,484 miles calling for an aggregate outlay thus far of $47,013,498.83.
Another 4,000 miles of roads built or improved during the first two-year period of the present Administration brings the total mileage of all new road work to a figure in excess of 6,000 miles.
Federal funds available for road construction in Georgia during this fiscal year, 1956-1957, have more than doubled over the last fiscal year.
The total federal money exceeds $46% million dollars requiring State matching funds of $24% million dollars. This is an increase of more than 5 million dollars over what Georgia had to furnish last year in State matching funds. This requirement will continue to rise each year.
We must bear in mind that during a four-year period federal grantsin-aid for* highways will have multiplied five-fold from $13,335,300.00 in 1954-1955 to $66,800,000.00 in 1958-1959.

44

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

During the same interval state funds available for all road purposes will have increased from $46,980,891.71 in 1954-1955 to about $75,000,000 in 1958-1959.
All of this means, of course, that progressively more of the State Highway allocation must go to match added federal funds and less and less can be utilized for purely state-aid construction.
When completed, Georgia will have 1,200 miles of the superhighway system. Off to a good start, 370 miles of these routes are now in the planning stage and are slated for letting later this year.
Total highway spending for federal aid routes during the 13 years that the interstate system is under construction is expected to exceed one billion dollars in Georgia.
Georgia is determined to take utmost advantage of the opportunities offered under this far-reaching program.

ATOMIC ENERGY
We are laying our groundwork well in another field that will be of tremendous significance in the years to come--that is atomic energy.
To complement the instructional and experimental activities at Georgia Tech in this field and at the University of Georgia in related studies at the new science center, I have, by executive order, named a special advisory commission to steer the application of atomic energy to elvilian use in this State.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
Listing some of the other gains made by the State in recent months, let me point with pride to the following:
Workmen's compensation benefits have been advanced to levels more in keeping with the times.
Parks for both white and colored have been placed in good repair and made more serviceable to the public. Roadside parks have been built in convenient locations over the State.
The Highway Patrol has been strengthened with the employment of 50 more troopers in the uniform division and the addition of 100 new patrol cars.
Last year this Assembly adopted amendments strengthening the Peace Officers Retirement System.
Needed revision in the schedules of fees for county officials has been made and retirement plans have been authorized for local officials.
More efficient State purchasing procedures have saved the tax payers large sums.
The probation system installed at the last session is working in a superior manner. It has reversed the trend toward an ever-increasing prison population.
More efficient revenue collection methods have given every citizen an opportunity to contribute his fair share to the support of State

government. Better enforcement has resulted in extra income to the State Treasury under the present revenue structure.

LEGISLATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
My recommendations to this General Assembly are essentially to "HOLD THE LINE" in both the revenue structure and in state spend ing under the terms of the present appropriations act.
There should be no new taxes levied.
Nor can we permit any reduction in the present revenue structure.
I say with all sincerity that our budget is an economical as good business judgment can make it.
I pledge you that my Administration will continue to work to achieve sound economies in the operation of the State government.

AID FOR DEPENDENT CHILDREN
At its past session the Congress authorized extension of welfare assistance benefits to all needy dependent children 16 and 17 years of age. The present maximum age limit in Georgia terminates when the child reaches 16.
Extension of the benefits for these two additional Age-Groups will cost $400,000.00 per annum and will bring a like amount from the federal government in matching funds. We should amend our State law to afford these added benefits.

HOSPITAL CARE FOR NEEDY
Another program authorized by the Congress calls for a cooperative system of State-federal-local grants to needy for hospital care.
Study has been given to plans in other states and legislation will be presented to you at this session proposing such a program for Georgia.
My feeling is that we should take full advantage of the opportunities it offers especially in connection with the operation of Hill-Burton hos pitals built during recent years.

SCHOOL FOR MENTALLY RETARDED NEGRO CHILDREN
An important recommendation I have to make to you deals with the welfare of mentally retarded Negro children. At the present time, the State has no institution to care for them.
During this session, the Administration will submit for your con sideration legislation authorizing the establishment of a school for mentally defective Negro children to be activated when sufficient funds are available for the project.

HIGHWAY SAFETY
One subject of deep concern to me during the past year has been the tragic carnage on our streets and highways.

46

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

There are two approaches to greater highway safety--education and enforcement.
Georgia is doing the best job possible on both counts but much re mains to be done.
While the number of deaths each year from traffic accidents has risen in Georgia and throughout the country, the loss of life per number of vehicle miles traveled in this State has shown a steady decline.
Inasmuch as there are more vehicles traveling our roads each year, we must be alert continuously to meet this ever-growing problem of dangerous congestion.
It is my recommendation that we institute broad action to obtain safer conditions on our highways all down the line.
We should do this by taking the following action:
1. Highways should be engineered with this important safety factor in mind.
2. Driver training courses should be required in all our high schools and make a prerequisite to graduation.
3. The privilege of operating a motor vehicle on the public high ways should be granted only to persons who have adequate natural ability, proper training and have a willingness to conduct themselves properly. This privilege should be subject to frequent review and, if necessary, suspension and revocation.
4. Criminal penalties and civil liability for operating an unsafe motor vehicle on the public roads of this State should be strengthened.
5. Legislative permission should be given for the use of highway patrol cars which cannot be identified at a great distance.
6. The strength of the uniform division and the number of patrol cars on Georgia highways should be brought up to at least a comparable level with other states; and
7. Study should be given now toward the establishment of a modern, statewide, uniform system of traffic courts to insure .consistent, equita ble, strict and prompt handling of all such cases.

PROTECT TEXTILE INDUSTRY
Four hundred thousand Georgians are dependent directly for their livelihood upon the textile industry.
The welfare of this industry and the people employed in its mills is threatened as never before by unfair competition from mills operated by slave-labor in foreign countries.
Congress and the national government have failed utterly to protect the people of this nation who earn their living in the textile industry.
Earlier this year I named a commission to investigate this deplor able situation and to make recommendations to me and to you for enactment at this session.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1957

47

It is my conviction that the Georgia Assembly will be justified in taking all remedial action necessary to protect our workers in their jobs.

WATER LAW REVISION
The unprecedented drought of 1954 spotlighted the need for water law revision in Georgia. Likewise, water use has become a problem of increasing concern.
The Water Law Revision Commission has been studying this im portant subject and will make recommendations to the General Assembly. I ask that you give them your careful consideration.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
At its last meeting the State Board of Regents gave approval to a suggested plan whereby a limited number of deserving boys and girls might receive scholarships to colleges in the University System.
A proposed constitutional amendment will be presented to you authorizing such a system of tuition grants.
This amendment should include adequate safeguards to insure that such scholarships go only to those youths who are worthy and who other wise would be denied college opportunities.

RESTORE M. F. P.
Originally the Minimum Foundation Program, as adopted in 1949, contained a provision known as the "charge back". Under this the school programs of the various counties were equalized through a setoff of "ability to pay" on the one hand and "need" on the other.
The laudable objective of this program was impaired greatly in 1953 when the legislature adopted an amendment to the law freezing the charge back.
Because of this action the State government has had to assume an even larger responsibility for education than was contemplated.
This has shifted the entire responsibility for increases in the Mini mum Foundation Program to the state thus defeating the equalization provisions.
It is only fair that the Minimum Foundation Program should be geared to the present and not predicated on the past.
I join with school officials of the Department of Education and educators generally in recommending to you that the amendment placing a limitation on the "charge back" be repealed in its entirety and that the Minimum Foundation Program be restored.
It is thought that through this action enough funds will be avail able in the 1957-1958 fiscal year to grant our school teachers an acrossthe-board pay raise of $100 per year. This is in addition to the natural progressions in the salary schedule provided by the Minimum Founda tion Program.

48

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Should additional funds materialize in the meantime in sufficient amounts, still another $100 increase would be looked upon with favor by me.
URBAN SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION
A steady trend of migration to urban areas has created a rapidlygrowing demand for more classrooms in the schools of about fifty Georgia counties. An estimated $80 million dollars in new construction is needed to fulfill present requirements.
Education leaders have asked that the State School Building Author ity, which is completing work on $165 million dollars in new school buildings, be given authorization to build these needed additional schools. This can be done when, as and if the interest rate is comparatively favorable and sufficient revenue is available to retire the indebtedness.
It is estimated that it will require $6% millions of dollars annually to amortize costs of this added construction.
It is my view that the authorization requested be granted by the Legislature. Careful consideration should be given in determining what portion of the costs should be borne equitably by the State.
Provision of funds for this undertaking must be subject to the conditions precedent stated above.
Financing the Minimum Foundation Program has first priority during this Administration ahead of all other suggestions no matter how worthy.
JEKYLL ISLAND
Still with us is the perennial problem of what to do with Jekyll Island.
I opposed its acquisition in the first instance because the State has no business running a beach resort. But it has been my view that since we have it we should make the best out of it we can.
The wisest course the State could follow would be to divest itself of this property if the approximate cost could be recouped.
I will not approve the expenditure of any more money for this undertaking except that appropriated to protect what the State has invested or to render it serviceable to the public.
Should the General Assembly evolve a plan for administration of the island removed from the cross-fire of factional politics, the effort will have my support.
It is my recommendation that residential or business lots should be leased or sold in fee simple.
Beach and other day-use areas should be reserved permanently for public use.
UNITY NECESSARY
More than two and a half years have passed since the United States Supreme Court in its decision of May 17, 1954, sought to usurp from State and local governments the administration of school affairs.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1957

49

The effect of this unconstitutional and unlawful decree has not been felt in Georgia as yet.
That fact is no mere accident.
The determined and cooperative efforts of a dedicated people, a steadfast General Assembly and an administration committed unequi vocally toward preservation of our cherished institutions--all of these working in concert, have stemmed the tide.
Never before in our history has it been so necessary for our people to work in complete unity to present a solid front to the threats that assail us from many sides.
No matter what any court may rule, the Constitution of the United States and the crystalized public sentiment of an overwhelming majority of the people remain "the law of the land".
We are going to protect both our white and colored citizens in Georgia from mob violence, abuse and unbridled intimidation from what ever suorce it may come.
We are going to do this by maintaining Georgia's sacred heritages and traditions.
Marvin Griffin long ago took his stand.
As long as I am your governor there will be no breakdown in the pattern of segregation in this State.

BUDGET MESSAGE LATER
Within a few days I shall submit to you my budget message together with several other timely and necessary recommendations.

Day-by-day, week-by-week, month-by-month and year-by-year Geor gia has moved forward to bigger and better achievements for all our people under the leadership and supervision of this administration.
We have worked in unity with all our citizens--their representa tives, their local civic groups and committees and the masses of the people themselves.
That course will be followed to its full fruition. It is with humility and deep devotion to an all-wise Creator that we pledge ourselves to unceasing labor and to prayer that Georgia may attain her rightful destiny in the great galaxy of States.
Senator Hawes of the 30th moved that the Joint Session of the General Assembly be dissolved and the motion prevailed.
The President of the Senate announced the Joint Session dissolved.
The House was called to order by the Speaker.
The following Resolution of the House was read and adopted:

60

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

HR 18. By Messrs. Helms of Atkinson and Love of Catoosa:
Whereas the Honorable Noah M. Mason, representative of the State of Illinois, in the United States Congress, did on the 14th day of January, 1957, in an address to the House of Representatives in Washington, transcend the lines of conventional politics and did accu rately and honestly censure the United States Supreme Court for its infamous decision of usurpation in May 1954, and whereas the Honor able Noah M. Mason did condemn the Supreme Court for attempting to amend the United States Constitution by "evasion and subterfuge" by its decision against segregation in schools and on buses; and whereas such conduct reflects not only great judgment but political courage and personal integrity on the part of the said Noah M. Mason; Now, there fore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Georgia that the said Noah M. Mason be congratulated for this feat of statesmanship; and that a copy of this Resolution be sent to the members of the Georgia delegation in Congress and to the aforesaid Noah M. Mason.

Mr. Hawkins of Screven moved that the House do now adjourn until 11:00 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the motion prevailed.

The Speaker announced the House adjourned until 11:00 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Accompanied by the Committee of Escort and other distinguished guests, Governor S. Marvin Griffin appeared upon the floor of the House.
The following address was delivered by Governor S. Marvin Griffin.
LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR VANDIVER, SPEAKER MOATE, MEM BERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND OF THE SENATE AND MY FRIENDS:
We are now entering the last two years of this Administration with a solid record of progress behind us.
It is certain that all our citizens desire to see the definite advance ment continued.
We are moving forward steadily, paying all our bills promptly and maintaining a sound fiscal policy.
In the future this will provide the momentum to carry on the good work which is being done at this transitional period.
Certainly, all of us insist that the high standard of state services now being carried out be maintained in full force and effect.
I am certain that not a person in Georgia wants to see this State go backwards.
"HOLD THE LINE!"
Georgia must fulfill its constitutional responsibilities of providing education, health, welfare, highway and other essential services.
We must do this for an expanding agricultural economy and an expanding industrial economy.

96

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

This means simply there can be no reduction in the State's revenue structure at this time.
All signs indicate that by practicing economy and good business judgment in all phases of the State's operation, there will be no need for additional taxation.
I have said to you before and will repeat now--our task at this session of the General Assembly is to "HOLD THE LINE".
Suggestions that the State can reduce taxes and at the same time provide increased services constitute the height of hypocrisy.

NEEDS OUTLINED
We know that in the coming fiscal year, 1957 -1958, we must pro vide $7 million dollars additional to carry forward the Minimum Founda tion Program and $14 million dollars extra for the same purposes in the 1958 - 1959 fiscal year.
We cannot overlook the fact that if you approve additional capital outlay expenditures for urban school construction in an amount totaling $80 million dollars, it would require an additional $6/2 million dollars annually to retire these school authority bonds.
We know further that increased federal aid coming to the highway department during the last half of the present fiscal year will require approximately $2,650,000 dollars in additional state matching money. And, during the ensuing two fiscal years, an average of $6/2 million dollars each year will be required in additional state matching funds.
We must remember that as Georgia's highway system is enlarged greater outlays will be required for maintenance. I estimate that this will require a minimum additional amount of $2 million dollars each year in the coming two fiscal years over and above the total now being provided for this purpose.
We must consider also the fact that four more increments of rural road bonds will be issued during the next two fiscal years. Each in crement will require the allocation of $1,677,000 dollars each year to retire the principal and interest.
We know, too, that more and more persons are becoming eligible for welfare assistance. This requires an extra allocation for this pur pose of about $1,000,000.00 dollars in each succeeding fiscal year over the preceding one.
Provision of $500,000.00 will be required as an initial outlay to finance construction of a school for mentally defective Negro children.
We know, too, that if we extend the program for dependent children it will cost $400,000.00 each fiscal year.
We realize fully that as long as the federal government appropriates money for health facility construction that Georgia must provide her proper share of matching funds.
Then, there is the necessity for making available $500,000 annually in extra money to the highway patrol for the addition of another 50 troopers in the uniform division.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1957

97

Added to this we have the problem of inaugurating the new program for aid to indigent sick. It is estimated this will cost an average of $2 million dollars each year during the next two fiscal years.
You can determine from these figures that great care must be given during the next two-year period to the administration of the budget if we are to carry on essential services for the people.

GROWTH REQUIRES GROWTH
You will note that all of the above figures I have cited calling for additional expenditures of state money are occasioned almost 100% by the fact that we are growing both in population and in resources.
Notwithstanding this fact, the per capita tax rate in Georgia is substantially lower than her sister states with comparable populations and resources.
We are not only in line with other states but are substantially below them in many fields.
The responsibility for supporting the State government has now been spread fairly among all our people.

BUDGET AND FISCAL
Last year after committee studies and hearings in both branches, the General Assembly adopted a new appropriations bill which has been in operation now for only six months.

This measure was prepared by me for submission to the General Assembly after careful consideration of departmental requirements with due regard to anticipated income.

It was enacted into law with minor changes which principally ear marked a larger share of contingent funds for educational purposes.

The first section of the appropriations act, with first priority on State income, calls for expenditures of $284,964,433.60. This section is being paid in full in the following manner.

Education __._.._....__.._____._.._..___^.--_____$150,000,000.00

53%

Highways -....____..._._.--.-__-_._........__-_... 67,000,000.00

11%

Health _._.______ 10,000,000.00

4%

All Others __.___._.._-- 25,000,000.00

9%

The category "all others" includes every other department or agency, all boards, bureaus and commissions, the Legislature, all State courts and the cost of collections.

Section 48, more commonly referred to as the "second" or "con tingent section" of the budget appropriates another $55% million dollars which is being financed partially at the present time to the extent of $13,661,565.85.

Budget allocations from July 1st, 1956, through January 10, 1957, under Section 48 of the appropriations act breakdown as follows:

98

Education .___,,_- -____.---__$ 7,281,088.83

All Others _--________.,,,,-,,,,_________ 3,192,144.02

53 % 8% % 6% 9% 23%%

EDUCATION PROVISO
It should be emphasized that the second paragraph of Section 48 contains this proviso:
"Provided that in the administration of this Section 80% of all income received in a fiscal year which is in excess of the total amount of appropriation or allotment authorized in the foregoing sections of this Act for the fiscal year, other than income received from motor fuel tax and motor vehicle tag tax, shall be distributed 75% to the State Board of Education, 20% to the State Board of Regents and 5% to Teacher Retirement Fund and no State official shall be authorized to expend said funds in any other manner."
This provision means that 80% of all income in each fiscal year accuring after adoption of the appropriations act, over and above that amount required to finance the first portions of the act, must be utilized for education except income received from motor vehicle user taxes.

ALL INCOME APPROPRIATED
Bearing in mind that the current total rate of expenditures is at the $298%-million-dollar level annually, we find that this figure is two million dollars more than the total State income of $296% million dollars collected during the preceding fiscal year.
We find further that Georgia's present total budget is $42 million dollars less than the total of $340% million dollars appropriated in all sections of the present appropriations act.
Every dime of present and all prospective income is being appro priated under the present Appropriations Act.
Estimates of both the State Auditor and the State Revenue Com missioner place anticipated revenue for the current fiscal year at $307 million dollars.
Now on hand is an operating surplus of $17,489,259.82.
This surplus must be conserved to carry on the Minimum Founda tion Program, match new federal highway aid, provide for normal in creases in the number entitled to welfare benefits and such other vital needs as may arise during the coming two-year period.
CONTINGENT SECTION
Analyzing the appropriations made by the General Assembly in Section 48, which is the contingent section of the appropriations act, we find that the $55% million dollars authorized in this section is, as follows:
Education -........_______....._.___.._-..._________-......".____._-....---$32,400,000.00 Educational grants if necessary to preserve
segregation in any school system .._--........_------. 5,000,000.00

As I have pointed out, not all of the above contingent items are being financed.

We are having to cut the garment to fit the cloth.

We are placing first things, first.

Most important departmental requirements are being met within the limitation of the income of the State.

We must resist any and all attempts to increase the amount of regular appropriations, as contained in the 1956 appropriations act, totaling $285,000,000.00 in round figures.

Any change here would result in one or another favored department being unnecessarily enriched at the expense of all the others.

Following a safe and conservative policy, I urge that all proposals whatsoever for additional expenditures be confined to Section 48 which is the contingent section.

It is my recommendation that this section be amended to provide the following additional contingent items of appropriations:
Highways __________________________._.____________^_____________-_________.$15,000,000.00 Welfare Benefits ____..._______.__,,__________________.____ 400,000.00 State Patrol __________ ____.-____--_____-_--__ 500,000.00 Hospitalization Fund for Indigent Sick ____________ 2,000,000.00 School for Mentally Defective Negro Children ______ 500,000.00 Hill-Burton Hospital Construction _____________ 1,500,000.00

Authorizations for education, capital outlay for school construction, health, welfare, institutions and other departments and agencies already are covered adequately for the coming biennium in the contingent section.

Passage of a new Appropriations Bill at this time would upset the present financial structure of the State and commitments made under it. That being the case we have no alternative but to continue to operate under the current budget law for the next two fiscal years.

GEORGIA EDUCATION COMMISSION
The Georgia Commission on Education has met twice since the last session of the General Assembly to consider needed legislation.
A sub-committee has been at work on several measures which the commission has recommended for adoption into law.

100

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

These are:
1. A bill to repeal the compulsory school attendance law but retaining services of visiting teachers to encourage such attendance;
2. A bill to amend the present teacher retirement system laws to protect the rights of any urban teachers who might belong to non-State retirement systems:
3. Two bills placing age limits on the admission of students to public high schools and State-supported colleges;
4. A bill to strengthen the Georgia Commission on Education giving it the authority to make necessary investigations, subpoena witnesses, compel their attendance and provide means whereby they may be cited for contempt for failure to do so; and,
5. A bill to insure the maintenance of law and order and pro tection of the peace.

BUDGET ADMINISTRATION
As your chief executive, no one appreciates more than I the sov ereign powers and responsibilities of the legislative branch.
My first experience of public services as a young man was in this hallowed hall as a member of this honorable body.
Later my legislative experience was extended by six additional years as presiding officer of the State Senate.
Of all the time I have been honored to serve my State, those years in legislative service were the happiest and most rewarding for the warm and lasting friendships made with you and other Georgians from all walks of life.
And I would be the last to suggest that you, as individuals or as a group, do anything which offends the public conscience or your own.
Nor would I ever presume to propose any measure which might prove to be harmful to the best interests of this great State we all love so well.
Nor would I approve or join in any movement designed to weaken the constitutional and traditional separation of powers of the three branches of the State Government--the Legislative, the Judicial and the Executive.
Each branch must be free to act always with equal dignity and authority in coordination for the public good.
Their functions must be kept separate and distinct for the lasting protection of the rights, privileges and immunities of our citizens.
Under this concept of government by the people, handed down by the founding fathers, we have achieved here in Georgia a higher degree of local self-determination than in any other state in the nation.
This right to govern ourselves has been challenged before in our history.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1957

101

It is being challenged now. We met the challenge then. We will meet it now.

KEEP THE PEACE
We are determined to prevent any such unfortunate incidents from taking place in Georgia like those which have occurred in some of our sister Southern States.
The true meaning of the Constitution of the United States and of the State of Georgia will be upheld by me with all the resources at the command of the Executive Branch of your State Government.
Let me remind you that our success in the trying times to come depends upon bot hour internal strength and our singleness of purpose.
We must look for our protection from within the frame-work of the State government.
We must rely on a chief executive who is determined to utilize the full resources of the State in upholding the Constitution.
We must rely on a courageous General Assembly with vision to do its duty.
We must rely on able State Courts with judges of integrity who will uphold the constitutions and laws as they are written.

"DIVIDE AND CONQUER"
You can be certain that those who are determined to destroy con stitutional processes in this State are moving in every way to disrupt this unity of purpose which now exists among us.
And, let me say in clear and unequivocal terms, that the proposals to strip the chief executive officer of your State of his proper super vision over budgetary matters are part and parcel of this vicious scheme.
Let no one mislead the people by claiming extraordinary powers for the chief executive of this State. His duties, limited and restricted as they are by the State Constitution and laws promulgated thereunder, reflect the wisdom of the founding fathers and those statesmen of later years whose sound judgment we honor and respect.
In the final analysis, the governor's resolute leadership forms the last rampart of defense to protect the rights of our people.
Of all the protective mechanisms available to us, the inherent authority of the governor as the State's chief fiscal officer is by far the most important.
It is an indispensable safeguard if we are to insure a continuation of separate schools and colleges for Georgia young people, if we are to preserve order and if we are to maintain domestic peace, harmony, and tranquility.
Proper exercise of the executive authority must not be impeded if

102

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

we are to guarantee the rights of individual citizens and the maintenance of law and order within the bounds of State sovereignty.
I shall be on guard against all attempts to weaken or to shackle the Office of Governor in the State of Georgia, either while I hold that position or as it relates to my successors in office.
I am confident that members of this Legislature and all other loyal public officials in this State share my resolve.

BASIC POLICY--SERVICE
At the very outset of this administration we announced a policy which called for providing the greatest amount of constructive service to the greatest number of our people at the lowest possible cost.
That we have adhered to this policy from that time to the present is attested by the substantial record of steady progress which has been maintained by this administration since its inception.
All who are connected with the present state government including our elected and appointed officials, our departmental workers, the mem bers of the two branches of the legislature, the members of the numerous boards furnishing counsel and guidance in various fields, can feel proud and gratified at the tremendous services which have been provided for all our people.
Let me say that we shall continue to carry out this broad policy of providing the most benefits for the most people without the disrupting influences of political partisanship or factional strife.
All of us will stick to the task at hand--that of performing a credi ble job for the people.

Senator Hawes of the 30th moved that the Joint Session be now dissolved, the motion prevailed, and the President of the Senate announced the Joint Session dissolved.

Carter Pittman of Dalton, Georgia, which telegram makes important suggestions concerning the security of this nation and the importance of direct action by the president for the preservation of the constitutional government of the United States of America and the American way of life.
Following is a copy of the telegram:

132

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Honorable Dwight D. Elsenhower
President of the United States
Washington, D. C.
It is becoming increasingly clear to intelligent and upright people everywhere that the bombing of Negro churches and parsonages in cer tain areas of the South exactly fits the pattern used by communist conspirators for many years, in their efforts to stir up class antagonisms, and to create sympathy and support for communist causes. A case in point is that occurring in Louisville, Kentucky, about three years ago where a Negro residence was bombed as a result of a communist con spiracy to stir up racial strife, where the FBI aided the Kentucky courts to convict and imprison the perpetrators. That trick was old when Pisistratus used it to become tyrant of Athens 2500 years ago. The so-called "victim" was then and most often now is the perpetrator shrouded in a cloak of sanctity, operating in accordance with a plan devised by co-conspirators. Since Marx, wolves no longer come in sheeps clothing--they come in robes.
Is it a mere accident that the bombs recently exploded should have affected only churches and Negro preachers and should have been timed so as to hurt no one, yet timed so as to coincide with the meeting of the Congress to consider proposals to confer unconstitutional, despotic and repressive powers on a group of do-gooders to be named by the President?
Is it a mere accident that the bombs should explode at a time when proposals are before the Congress to destroy the means of pre serving and to hasten the destruction of Anglo-Saxon liberty and the race that produced it?
Is it a mere accident that the objects selected for bombing in each instance were such as were calculated to excite and inflame the emotions of unthinking people who are being lead thereby to associate communist causes with God and associate those who oppose integration and com munism with the godless?
Is it a mere accident that bombs were timed to explode at the very time when the Congress is being importuned to continue its expenditure of billions of dollars for the specious purpose of containing communism abroad when nothing is requested or used to contain or arrest the march of communism at home?
Is it a mere accident that those in your Administration who have most effectively lifted their voices against communism have been so completely smeared and destroyed that none now dares to expose that which he knows? If McCarthy was destroyed for his "methods", who pursues his objectives by better methods?
We respectively request that the President no longer stand idly by while incendiaries, educated in communist cells, and financed by Moscow, or fellow travellers, do irreparable harm to the people, and the welfare, tranquility and strength of the nation. We regretfully re quest also that the agents of the FBI be authorized and directed to cooperate with state authorities in the apprehension and conviction of the communists responsible for the violence already committed and that is certain to increase in intensity as unconstitutional measures are urged before the Congress to meet a "crisis" engineered in Moscow for the

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1957

133

very purpose of destroying free government in America. Surely the President must know that a million dollars spent by Russia on subver sion in America will buy more for Russia than a billion will buy for America in Europe.
Respectfully,
R. Carter Pittman Dalton, Georgia
Be it further resolved that we request the members of the Georgia delegation in the Congress of the United States to call to the attention of the president this telegram.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mr. Pittman and that we commended him for the timely telegram to the president.

A RESOLUTION
Memorializing the Congress of the United States to take correc tive measures to equalize imports; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the impact of imports of steel, toys, recreational equipment, textiles and similar materials has more than a direct ef fect upon the economy of this Nation, and

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, some States have required identification of the poultry products of that State by requiring branding or tagging of poultry products to show that they are a product of that State, and

WHEREAS, Georgia is recognized as one of the largest poultry producing States, both as to quantity and quality, and
WHEREAS, the existing sanitation requirements of poultry pro cessing plants in this State are greater than those of other States and of the Federal Government.

WHEREAS, the City of Atlanta has established and is expanding a large airport, portions of which are located upon land within the boundaries of Clayton County; and

WHEREAS, as a result of the above factors, Clayton County is suffering from a decrease in its tax digest resulting in a concomitant decrease in tax revenue; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the mayor and council of the City of Atlanta are urged to enter into discussions with the Board of Com missioners of Roads and Revenues of Clayton County with a view towards obtaining a just and fair settlement of the problem of the decreasing Clayton County tax digest.

SR 37. By Senators Sanders of the 18th:
A RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, by resolution of the General Assembly of Georgia, a joint committee of Defense and Veterans Affairs composed of the members of the Committee of Defense and Veterans Affairs of both the Senate and House was organized and authorized to conduct an investigation into the matter of unsafe aircraft and equipment as signed to and being used by the Georgia Air National Guard, and
WHEREAS, said committee was to report its findings to the General Assembly of Georgia; and

472

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, said investigation was had through a formal hearing conducted on January 29, 1957, at which time sworn testimony was introduced and other evidence submitted into an official record; and
WHEREAS, said record has now been transcribed; and
WHEREAS, it affirmatively and unequivocably appears from the record as follows:
1. That the action of the Adjutant General of Georgia in ground ing all F 84 D fighter aircraft assigned to the Air National Guard was justified and demanded in every respect that he and his staff be commdnded for taking such action in behalf of the National Guard and the citizens of the State of Georgia.
2. That the F 84 D fighter aircraft assigned to the Georgia Air National Guard was dumped on the Guard Unit by the National Guard Bureau with full knowledge that they were outmoded and obsolete air craft as a weapon of defense.
3. That after said F 84 D aircraft were assigned to the Air Guard Unit neither the National Guard Bureau nor the U. S. Air Material Command would recognize requests and demands made by officers of ths Georgia Guard Unit for overhaul and IRAN repairs needful and necessary to said aircraft and that all of said aircraft were overdue for repairs, the majority of which were more than twenty-four months overdue for needful and necessary repairs.
4. That most all of the F 84 D aircraft assigned to the Georgia National Guard were known to have defective wiring systems and fuel leaks since an inspection in June of 1956 by the 14th Air Force.
5. That Air National Guard pilots of Georgia were required to fly and fulfill missions of defense equal to those assigned to the U. S. Air Force in obsolete and unsafe aircraft with full knowledge by the National Guard Bureau and the Department of Defense.
6. That the Air Material Command refused requests of the Geor gia Air National Guard for repairs necessary to make said aircraft safe for flying on the ground that the cost of repairs to the aircraft would not be justified with full knowledge that the pilots of the Geor gia Air National Guard would have to continue to fly the unsafe air craft.
7. That at the present time the State of Georgia, has no air de fense from sudden enemy attack.
8. The Federal Government has been derelict in not providing proper air-sea rescue service at Savannah and as a result the gunnery range of the Air National Guard has been closed and no gunnery mission can be or have been flown since November of 1956.
9. That 100% of the Georgia Air National Guard was activated in the Korean conflict and said units served with honor and distinction and not as draft dodgers as charged by the Honorable Charles Wilson, Secretary of Defense of the United States.
10. That all of the Georgia Air National Guard pilots are experi enced and most of whom are combat pilots and can properly protect and defend our cities and citizens and defense installations if given proper and safe aircraft to fly.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1957

473

11. That the death of Captain Edward A. Woodard on January 4, 1957 while flying a F 84 D aircraft was due to mechanical failure and could have been avoided if the Air National Guard Bureau or the Air Material Command had either repaired the aircraft assigned to the Air National Guard of Georgia or furnished said Guard Unit with a newer and safer type of aircraft.
12. That the F 86 air craft promised to the Georgia National Guard for replacement are obsolete and would be inadequate for use as a weapon of defense.
13. That first rate fighter aircraft are being manufactured in quantity in America today, most of which are being sent overseas for use by foreign countries.
14. That the vulnerability of the State of Georgia to sudden air attack is perilous and will continue unless and until proper aircraft are assigned to the Air National Guard Unit.
15. That the Air National Guard of Georgia as well as Guard Units of other states have been treated as a stepchild by our Depart ment of Defense and used as a dumping ground for all old obsolete aircraft and equipment.
16. That the National Guard of America is the first line of de fense of our country and has been assigned as its primary mission the defense of the country without being given proper weapons with which to defend in case of attack.
17. That the Air National Guard of Georgia and other states have no aircraft capable of defending or intercepting modern combat aircraft being produced in quantity by Russia.
18. That air defense is vital to the safety of the Stte of Georgia and the United States and that Georgia has a partial or no defense at this time.
WHEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this resolution be con curred in by both the House and Senate of the General Assembly of Georgia and be approved by the Governor and that a copy of the resolution, together with copy of the transcript of the record and investigation into the matter of the unsafe aircraft assigned to the Georgia Air National Guard, be transmitted to each member of the Georgia Congressional Delegation in the United States Senate and House of Representatives, the Secretary of the Air Force, the Na tional Guard Bureau, the Secretary of Defense, and the Honorable Carl Vinson, Chairman of the U. S. House of Representatives Armed Forces Committee, the Honorable Richard B. Russell, Chairman of the U. S. Senate Armed Forces Committee, and the Honorable Stuart Symington, U. S. Senator, who is Chairman of the Subcommittee on Air Defense of the Armed Forces Committee.

HR 140. By Messrs. Bagby of Paulding and Moate of Hancock:
A RESOLUTION
TO INVESTIGATE PRICE-FIXING OF GASOLINE IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
WHEREAS on February 6, 1957, the price of regular gasoline at filling stations in Atlanta was at least 1/f a gallon higher than it was in Birmingham, Alabama, at least 5^ a gallon higher than in Nash ville, Tennessee, at least 4^ a gallon higher than in Richmond, Vir ginia, at least 3# a gallon higher than it was in Jacksonville, Florida, and at least 2^ a gallon higher than it was in Columbia, South Carolina, (all calculated after taking into consideration any differences in State and Federal gasoline taxes), and
WHEREAS it seems possible that the higher prices Georgia motor ists are forced to pay for gasoline is the result of price fixing, tying agreement sand other activities in restraint of trade which may be unlawful, and
WHEREAS, the people of Georgia should not be subject to this discrimination and it is the duty of the General Assembly to prevent the same,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the Speaker be authorized to appoint a committee of three members of the House to investigate this situation and in the event it is found that the high prices charged to the people of Georgia for gasoline is the result of unlawful activity, the informa tion so developed be given to the proper prosecuting officers, both State and Federal, in order that these offenders may be tried, con victed and properly punished;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee so appointed have all of the investigative powers which the General Assembly may now or hereafter confer upon its committee both Standing and Special.

GOVERNOR GRIFFIN, LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR VANDIVER, SPEAKER MOATE, MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND MY FRIENDS:
Your thoughtful invitation for me to speak to you was unexpected honor. It is one I accept with pleasure and satisfaction for the wishes of the people of Georgia and their most representative embodiment-- the Georgia General Assembly--are my commands.
I thank you all and extend special appreciation to the authors of the joint resolution inviting me here, my good friends, Senators Brannen and Hill.
I commend our courageous chief executive, Governor Marvin Griffin.
I commend our able Lieutenant-Governor, Ernest Vandiver.
I commend our forthright Speaker of the House, Marvin Moate.
And I commend the distinguished members of this Legislature.
I commend you for your vigor, for your patriotism and for your determination to stand firm and immovable at the ramparts of defense in this life or death struggle to preserve our sacred institutions.
You have demonstrated your courage in turning back assault after assault on constitutional processes darker and more insidious than those hurled against the people of this State in the day of Reconstruction.
For this, the people of Georgia and loyal, thinking Americans the country over are grateful to you.
I am proud to be a soldier in your ranks.
Addressing you seems like old times for me.
These hallowed halls hold 'pleasant memories of warm friendships and the drama of fiery debate of years' past.
I see here many old friends and many new faces and I extend to you all my heartfelt greetings.
It is with humility and a deep sense of gratitude that I acknowledge the cordial reception and substantial assistance accorded me at the outset of my service in the United States Senate by that wise Statesman

534

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

and sagacious gentleman of gentlemen, my colleague, our beloved and respected Senior Senator, Richard B. Russell.
A hearty "thank you" also goes to all of the capable and dedi cated members of the Georgia delegation in the House who have ex tended to me every help possible.
And I would like to say here that the other members of the House and the Senate I have been privileged to meet, as well as representatives of the press, radio and television have been friendly, thoughtful and patient.
I shall strive at all times to reciprocate this courtesy in both act and deed.
This is my first trip back home to Georgia, on the week-end.
Many friends from Georgia have been coming by to visit with me both at the office and at our house in Falls Church, Virginia. I appre ciate these visits very much for two reasons. First, I enjoy the com pany and seeing old friends and, second, I get many shades of opinion from each person with whom I talk about pending national issues. This is of inestimable value to me in developing a proper perspective on ques tions of the day.
Whenever any of you are in the vicinity of Washington, I wish you would say to yourself: "Herman wants to see us; we shouldn't go back to Georgia without dropping by to see him."
It is essential for every Senator or Congressman, if he is to repre sent his constituents effectively, to have the benefit of their views and counsel on important matters. Unfortunately, many Georgians seldom get to Washington. The lengthy sessions make it hard to keep abreast of thinking in the home state.
I am expecting the people of Georgia to keep me informed and ad vised through personal visits and letters and in matters of extreme urgency by telegraph or telephone.
It is my solemn conviction that our nation is in this hour con fronted with five great crises, any one of which if not met and overcome, will result in the gravest of consequences in the future.
These crises are:
1. The constitutional crisis.
2. The farm crisis.
3. The military security crisis.
4. The world crisis.
5. The economic crisis.
The most serious of these crisis is the attack on constitutional government. I say this for it goes to the very heart of our existence as a nation.
Once we love our rights under the Constitution, we cannot defend ourselves against these other threats.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1957

535

What threats have been posed to constitutional government in the last few years?
We have seen the United States Supreme Court, in a series of partisan political decisions, openly flout the Constitution of the United States, and, in defiance of established law and precedent, substitute in their stead impractical and unproved socialistic theory.
These decisions contain no more logic nor demonstrate any more responsibility than the fanatical utterances of a soap box orator in Central Park.
The Federal judiciary has invaded and sought to obliterate the reserved rights of the states in many fields of their internal activity.
The Court has sought to outlaw separate schools and segregation laws in 17 states.
The Court has sought to outlaw antisedition laws in 12 states, Alaska and Hawaii.
The Court has forced Federal regulation of natural-gas production in 30 states.
The Court has sought to limit the power of states and cities to dis charge employees when they plead the 5th amendment against selfincrimination.
The Court has sought to usurp state authority in cases of criminal appeals.
These decisions are unconstitutional on their face.
They are not the "law of the land" as some falsely insist on calling it.
They are the law of force and force alone.
It is not the people of the South who defy the Constitution; it is rather they who uphold it.
When a Federal District Judge, acting under this peculiar new doctrine of force, issues a blanket edict that anyone who exercises the right of freedom of speech in this country may be hauled into court and fined for criminal contempt without a jury trial, then, I say to you, the time has come for us to restore the real constitutional law of the land!
We will never submit to unlawful and unconstitutional tyranny.
We are going to resist its imposition with all of the strength at our command.
We are not going to sit idly by while freedom of speech is destroyed and thought control is imposed on the people of this nation.
We are not going to sit idly by while an unconstitutional, arbi trary and illegal extension of federal judicial power is attempted.
This is not only an attack on the rights of the states to govern their own affairs but constitutes a gross abuse of judicial processes imperiling the civil liberties of every American citizen.

536

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

As a result of this outrageous usurpation of power, many bills are being introduced in the Congress to check this growing danger.
These measures will have my wholehearted support.
And it is my intention as soon as they are prepared to offer pro posals to remove our schools from Federal judicial authority, to require a reasonable minimum of experience for the appointment of Federal Judges and to insure a jury trial in all cases of contempt citations by Federal courts.

Equally dangerous to the liberties of all the people of the whole United States are the so-called "civil rights" proposals now pending.
This nefarious six-point program is a grave threat to our traditional concept of constitutional government.
If it is enacted an army of Federal agents will swarm over every State harassing and intimidating the people and usurping the functions of local law enforcement authorities.
The so-called "civil rights" commission that is proposed would be empowered to subpoena any American and haul him off to Washing ton for the purpose of brain washing and interrogation.
Under another one of these bills the U. S. Attorney General would be placed in the position of representing private individuals.
Still another proposal would write into law a provision overturning the legal doctrine of the ages requiring an exhaustion of administrative remedies as a prerequisite to judicial relief.
Every fledgling lawyer knows that the real civil rights of every citizen of this country are contained in the first 10 amendments to the Constitution.
These ten amendments have been known since the beginning of this nation as the Bill of Rights.
They are written in plain, unmistakable language.
From them spring all the rights necessary for the preservation of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I cannot emphasize too strongly the serious nature of these civil rights bills and their far-reaching implications for evil results.
It shall be my purpose to use what limited influence I may have in the fight to prevent these measures from being foisted on the American people.

Another dangerous proposal is that of limiting debate in the United States Senate.
For all practical purposes there has been unlimited freedom of discussion on all issues in the United States Senate since the year 1807.
The present rule XXII, under which the imposition of cloture is permitted in the Senate, was adopted in 1917 and was revised in 1949.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1957

537

It provides for cutting off debate only after an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Senators duly chosen and sworn.
This provision affords an adequate safeguard against abuse of the privilege of free speech and at the same time helps to maintain the delicate balance of powers afforded under our form of government.
The right of a Senator to present all of the facts in connection with an issue, to turn the light of truth and justice and fairness on that issue goes to the very heart of the protection of minorities, individuals and states as well.
As long as the United States Senate remains a forum free and unfettered, as long as a vigorous and determined minority of Senators can present all of the facts surrounding any measure, the right of the people of this country will be more nearly secure.
Now, of major concern to us in Georgia, is the farm crisis.
We have found out that the Republican party has nothing to offer the farmer of this country but privation and despair.
Declining farm prices, aggravated by the Benson Plan of Flexible Price Supports, coupled with discrimination in the administration of the Soil Bank program, and the natural disasters of flood and drought, all have combined to deal a heavy blow to American agriculture.
I regret that it looks now as though the Congress will not pass any effective major farm legislation this session. The hostile policies of the Secretary of Agriculture toward rigid farm price supports at 90% of parity would assure a Presidential veto.
You are, of course, familiar with the utter discrimination being practiced in the operation of the Soil Bank program. Some states are being grossly favored over others. Even counties within the States are discriminated against. The benefits are being administered on an un fair first come, first served basis and cover only a fraction of the needs already demonstrated.
The records show that the Southeast was granted far less than its proportionate share of these funds.
Such a situation demands immediate corrective action.
As a representative of the people of Georgia, and as a member of the Senate Agricultural Committee, I am working diligently to obtain:
1. Equal treatment in the distribution of these benefits to all farmers; and,
2. For all states their just share of funds available for this pur pose.
I have said before and repeat now my conviction that unless something is done, and done soon to give the farmer a better oppor tunity, this nation will suffer irreparable damage.

Another cause of grave concern to every citizen is the state of America's military security.

538

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

About ten days ago, the Sub-committee on the Air Force of the Senate's Committee on Armed services released a report on "Air Power" and its findings are cause for alarm.
Russia is leading us in the development of many weapons and air craft, is rapidly closing the gap in others, is graduating twice as many scientists and engineers as we are and is ahead in some phases of guided missile development. She has four times the number of sub marines as the United States and a greater capability for production.
These startling disclosures make it imperative that there be a general re-evaluation of our whole defense effort.
I was shocked recently at the statement questioning the patriotism of men in the National Guard during the Korean emergency.
Our memories are not so short that we do not recall what took place when the Korean emergency was declared. While those at the Pentagon were scurrying about searching for their paper armies, the Georgia National Guard and our reservists in this state were ready for orders and many of them took their places on the firing line in foreign lands.

Today we find ourselves in the midst of another world crisis.
Communist imperilism and domination moves toward the Middle East. It threatens that area's vast oil resources which represent twothirds of the world's total reserves.
The President and the Secretary of State have recognized this fact.
They have asked Congress for adoption of a two-fold resolution calling for the United States to serve notice to the world that she will defend the Middle East against any armed aggression by Russia or her satellite countries.
And, further, that the President be given unlimited authority to utilize, without regard to existing law or regulation, an amount not to exceed $200 million dollars in both arms and economic aid funds for countries in the Middle East.
The President is the only responsible official in the country who has access to full reports from the overseas intelligence agencies of our government.
The responsibility for action in such situations largely must be his, subject to the constitutional safeguards of congressional authority.
There is much sentiment to separate the military aspects from the aid request made by the President.
That would be the wisest policy for the Congress to follow.
I do not favor any plan whereby American troops would be com mitted for an indefinite period to wage "diplomatic wars" such as the "Korean Police Action" where the hand of victory was stayed by an indecisive state department.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1957

539

Nor do I favor any commitment of American soldiers to United Nation's control under any circumstances without prior consent of Congress.
I do not favor giving the President blank check authority to parcel out foreign aid.
There is talk that some of this money may be used for Nile Valley development in Egypt and in the Sudan. This would create another great cotton-growing area which would put the American farmer out of business as far as its export market is concerned.
I do not favor the United States assuming unilateral responsibility for defense of the Middle East. Our failure to support Britain, France and Israel in restoring order to the area will be recognized by historians as a costly diplomatic mistake and a military blunder of catastrophic proportions.

During the last decade our nation has shown the greatest growth of any period in its history.
Yet this growth is being threatened by irresponsible federal gov ernment fiscal policies.
The brave pronouncement of stabilizing the cost of living has fallen by the wayside.
The policy of "hard money" for the people and "easy money" for bureaucrats doesn't make sense.
During the coming fiscal year the Federal government expects to collect in taxes out of the people of this country the stupendous total of 75.8 BILLIONS of dollars.
This means that about 1/6 of the gross national product of the country is paid in taxes to the Federal government.
One wonders how long this nation will survive such a drain on the economy.

In conclusion, I make this observation.
Washington needs to pause for reflection and for a re-evaluation to realize fully once again from whence comes all freedom, all equality, all strength, all integrity, all security and all those other precious attributes identified with our growth as a nation.
There must be a complete return and a sincere re-dedication to the fundamental teachings of the Holy Writ.
There must be a renewed respect for the true meaning of the Constitution and a respect for law as it is written.
There must be a practical recognition of the fundamental laws of nature.
And, there must be a solid determination on the part of all public servants to keep faith with the people.

540

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Americans must be freed of the attendant evils of bureaucracy, red tape, intimidation and tyranny so that our people may once again be masters of their own destiny.
Sometimes we may be justified in feeling frustrated with the poli cies of our government.
But we must never sell America short nor should we discount the loyalty, the courage, the honesty, the ability and the sincerity of pur pose of the American people.
They have demonstrated again and again their rugged determina tion to meet and to overcome whatever challenge may confront them.
Because of this, I am confident that the nation will survive in spite of all the mistakes governmental leaders may make.
As for me, and the future of th:s country, I put my faith in Almighty God and in the sound judgment of my countrymen as we work shoulder-to-shoulder for right and justice.
To this concept, I am pledged.
To this concept, I give my energy and devotion.

HB 87. By Messrs. Hodges and Parker of Ware and Broome of Bacon:
A Bill to be entitled an Act to establish a standard or legal rule in the State of Georgia by which the number of board feet in logs or trees shall be calculated; and for other purposes.

The following committee Substitute was read:
A BILL
To be entitled an Act to establish a standard or legal rule in the State of Georgia, by which the number of board feet in logs shall be calculated, to provide that actual measurement of lumber may be used in lieu of such standard rule: to provide for measurement of logs; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEOR GIA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Sixty days from the date of approval of this Act, the legal standard for calculating the number of board feet in a log or in any number of logs in the State of Georgia, shall be the Scribner Deci mal C log rule or scale, and any sale or contract entered into where settlement is based on the number of board feet in a log or any number of logs, whether such a sale or contract shall be verbal or written, and where the method of computing the number of board feet is not stated in such sale or contract, the sale or contract shall be construed as being based entirely on Scribner's Decimal C log rule or scale. Pro vided, however, that the provisions of this Act shall not affect the measure of damages in any tort claim arising prior to the effective date of the Act, and also the provisions of this Act shall not affect any contract or sale entered into prior to the effective date of the Act.
Section 2. Nothing in this Act shall be construed as preventing any person or persons from using in lieu of the legal log rule, the actual measurement of lumber after it has been sawed as the basis for settlement in any sale or contract involving the necessity for determin ing the number of board feet. However, if the lumber is to be meas ured after sawing, it must be so stated in the sale or contract.
Section 3. In scaling or measuring the diameter and length of logs, any log, as long as eighteen feet and not as much as 34 feet shall be measured as two logs, and any log 34 feet or more in length shall be measured as three or more logs. Such as a division in length shall be done so as to figure logs as of nearly equal lengths as possible and at the same time use even feet in lengths.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1957

543

All fractions of inches in diameter shall be figured as to the nearest whole inch, but when several logs have fractions of one-half inch in the measurement of diameters, these fractions shall be distributed as near evenly as possible by adding and subtracting such fractions to and from the diameters in order to figure such diameters in whole inches.
Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

The following amendment to the substitute was read and adopted:
Mr. Busbee of Dougherty moves to amend the substitute to HB 87 by adding to paragraph one of Section 3 the words "unless otherwise provided by contract," and by adding to paragraph 2 of Section 2 the words "unless otherwise provided by contract."

The remainder of such amounts shall be paid into the State Treasury to the credit of the general fund. Ninety per cent (90%) of the income received by the Authority from the sale of lots shall be paid into a reserve fund to be set up by the Authority to be used for general improvements or capital improvements or both general improvements and capital improvements on Jekyll Island. All conveyances for the sale of lots shall be signed by the Authority on its own behalf, and by the Governor on behalf of the State."
Section 3. Said Act is further amended by striking Section 11 and Section 11-A in their entirety, and inserting in lieu thereof five new sections to be known as Section 11, Section 11-A, Section 11-B, Section 11-C and Section 11-D, which shall read as follows:
"Section 11. The leasing and sale of lots subdivided shall be under restrictive limitations as to the use, style and character of the structures allowable thereon, and such other limitations as the Authority may deem wise; and any and all such restrictions may be incorporated in the leases and deeds as covenants and warranties, and may, at the discretion of the Authority, provide for termination and forfeiture upon breach. In the event of a breach of any such covenants and warranties, the Authority is empowered to take such action as shall further and preserve its own best interest and the best interest of the State.
"Section 11-A. The leasing of the lots subdivided shall be for

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1957

553

not more than 99 years. Such leases as the Authority shall desig nate may be made freely assignable subject to all the liabilities, obligations, and duties imposed upon the lessee by the Authority in its original lease. The Authority may in its leasehold conveyance or rental contracts, create and provide for the preservation of such rights and privileges in the present or future security grantees, mortgages, or other lenders upon the security of the lessee's or tenant's rights as it may deem wise; such rights and privileges when created may also provide for their continuance or survival after termination or forfeiture of the original leasehold or rental contract.
"Section 11-B. No person, partnership or corporation, except the Authority may, during the life of the Authority hold under lease or by deed or any combination of leases and deeds a total of more than three lots in the residential subdivisions made on Jekyll Island by the Authority; Provided that no violation of this limita tion by any party shall in any wise affect the good and sufficient title of any bona fide assignee or transferee or any subsequent assignee or transferee thereof; Provided this limitation shall not apply to any bank, insurance company, building and loan associ ation, mortgage loan company, Federal or State lending agency, which may be holding lots under lease or by deed or under any combination of leases and deeds by virtue of foreclosure of loans made upon the security or improvements erected or existing on such lots; and, Provided further, the Authority may waive this limitation as regards groups of not more than 25 lots when the lessees or owners thereof shall be a person, corporation or other business enterprise engaged in the construction and sale of houses and such entity shall covenant to erect houses upon the lots so leased or owned and to sell and assign all lots so leased or owned as improved within a reasonable period of time as determined by the Authority; and Provided further, the Authority may waive this limitation as regards groups of not more than 25 lots when the lessee or owner thereof shall covenant to erect or cause to be erected a shopping center or business block or housing project thereon which, when completed, shall be offered for rental or sale, unit by unit, upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed to by the Authority.
"Section 11-C. The Authority shall sell only those residential lots which have theretofore been leased by it, and such a sale shall be made only to the person who shall hold such lease, his assignee or assigns. No conveyance of the fee simple title to any residential lot shall be made until the lessee of such lot has performed all the obligations as to improvement and erection of structures on such lot imposed by the lease. The Authority shall sell no commercial property on which improvements were erected prior to March 1, 1957, but the Authority may sell other commercial property either in the same manner as provided by this Act for the sale of resi dential lots, or if such commercial property shall not have been previously leased, they may be sold directly by the Authority; pro vided that the deeds for such direct sales must provide that unless all obligations contained in the conveyance as to improvements and erection of structures on such property are fulfilled, the prop erty shall revert to the Authority and the State, as their interest may appear. All sales of residential lots and commercial property, except for direct sales of commercial property provided in this sec-

554

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

tion, shall be made at the conversion price set by the Authority in accordance with the provisions of this Act, provided that any person who shall purchase any residential lot sold by the Authority, shall be entitled to credit on the purchase price to the extent of all pay ments made by him or his assignors or predecessors in interest on such lease, provided that such credit shall not exceed the purchase price of such lot. If such credit shall equal the purchase price for such lot, the lessee shall be entitled to a conveyance of the fee simple title to such lot and the Authority shall thereupon pay into the State Treasury an amount equal to the value of the State's interest in such property as determined as provided in Section 10 of this Act. The Authority shall establish proper reserves to insure that funds will be available for such purpose.
No credit shall be allowed to purchasers of Commercial property for any prior rental payments."
"Section 11-D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Authority shall under no circumstances sell any real prop erty on Jekyll Island on which a building or buildings were standing at the time said Island was leased to the Authority, without the express prior approval of the General Assembly to such sale or sales."
Section 4. Said Act is further amended by adding following Section 12 thereof, a new section to be known as Section 12-A which shall read as follows:
"Section 12-A. Immediately upon the approval of this Act, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Authority shall prepare and publish a conversion price for each residential lot then under lease, stating the price at which the lot may be purchased from the Authority. Thereafter the Authority shall publish at the same time and in the same manner as schedules of lease rentals are published, as required by Section 12 of this Act, a conversion price for each residential lot that is available for lease. The conversion price for residential lots shall not be less than the appraised value of such lot, taking into consideration the market value of comparable resort property in Glynn County, as determined by an appraisal or ap praisals made or to be made by the Glynn County Real Estate Board. Every lease which the Authority may grant for a residential lot after March 1, 1957 shall contain therein the conversion price at which the lot may be purchased."
Section 5. Said Act is further amended by the addition at the end of Section 13 thereof the following words: "Should the authorities having charge of the fiscal affairs of any county fail to claim and present a plan to improve on or before March 1, 1960, the plot of land set aside for such county under the provisions of this section, the Authority shall be under no further obligation to furnish any such plot of land on Jekyll Island," so that said section, as amended hereby, shall read as follows:
"Section 13. The Authority is directed as soon as it deems it feasible so to do to set aside sufficient land on Jekyll Island to provide a suitable plot for each county in the State for use for charitable purposes. The Authorities having charge of the fiscal affairs of any county desiring to use such plot shall file with the

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1957

555

Authority a proposal setting forth the use to which such plot is to be placed, the person or persons to have charge and control of the same, the nature of improvements to be placed thereon. Such pro posal shall also disclose how funds are to be secured for the improve ment and operation of the facilities. If the Authority deems such proposal to be in the public interest and to the advantge of the said State Park it may lease such plot for not exceeding 20 years to the fiscal authority of such county or to properly appointed trustees. Such lease shall provide such restrictions, covenants and conditions as the Authority deems proper, and for the termination of the lease upon violation of the provisions of the lease. Should the authorities having charge of the fiscal affairs of any county fail to claim and present a plan to improve on or before March 1, 1960, the plot of land set aside for such county under the provisions of this section, the Authority shall be under no further obligation to furnish any such plot of land on Jekyll Island."
Section 6. Said Act is further amended by the insertion following Section 14 thereof, a new section, to be known as Section 14-A, which shall read as follows:
"Section 14-A. The Budget Bureau is authorized to transfer sufficient funds in the manner provided in Code Section 40-403 to provide for the development and operation of the facilities on said island, the same to be carried on by the Authority under agreement with the Department of State Parks.

The economy division of the College of Agriculture should perform any research necessary to determine the effect of the varieties of tomatoes grown in Georgia, the effect climate has on tomatoes in Georgia, the effect of soil in Georgia on which tomatoes are grown, the effect of fertilizer practices on tomatoes grown in Georgia and any other cul tural practices which might have a bearing on the maintenance of the quality of tomatoes in shipment.

SR 39. By Senator Hawes of the 30th:
A RESOLUTION
A Memorial to the Congress of the United States of America urging them to enact such legislation as they may deem fit to declare that the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States were never validly adopted and that they are null and void and of no effect.
WHEREAS, the State of Georgia together with the ten other Southern States declared to have been lately in rebellion against the United States, following the termination of hostilities in 1865, met all the conditions laid down by the President of the United States, in the exercise of his Constitutional powers to recognize the governments of states, domestic as well as foreign, for the resumption of practical relations with the Government of the United States, and at the direc tion of the President did elect Senators and Representatives to the 39th Congress of the United States, as a State and States in proper Con stitutional relation to the United States; and
WHEREAS, when the duly elected Senators and Representatives appeared in the Capitol of the United States to take their seats at

662

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the time for the opening of the 39th Congress, and again at the times for the openings of the 40th and 41st Congresses, hostile majorities in both Houses refused to admit them to their seats in manifest violation of Articles I and V of the United States Constitution; and
WHEREAS, the said Congresses, not being constituted of Senators and Representatives from each State as required by the Supreme Law of the Land, were not, in Constitutional contemplation, anything more than private assemblages unlawfully attempting to exercise the Legis lative Power of the United States; and
WHEREAS, the so-called 39th Congress, which proposed to the Legislatures of the several States an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, known as the 14th Amendment, and the so-called 40th Congress, which proposed an amendment known as the 15th Amendment, were without lawful power to propose any amendment whatsoever to the Constitution; and
WHEREAS, two-thirds of the Members of the House of Repre sentatives and of the Senate, as they should have been constituted, failed to vote for the submission of these amendments, and,
WHEREAS, All proceedings subsequently flowing from these invalid proposals, purporting to establish the so-called 14th and 15th Amendments as valid parts of the Constitution, were null and void and of no effect from the beginning, and
WHEREAS, furthermore, when these invalid proposals were re jected by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia and twelve other Southern States, as well as of sundry Northern States, the socalled 39th and 40th Congresses, in flagrant disregard of the United States Constitution, by the use of military force, dissolved the duly recognized State Governments in Georgia and nine of the other South ern States and set up military occupation or puppet state governments, which compliantly ratified the invalid proposals, thereby making (at the point of the bayonet) a mockery of Section 4, Article IV of the Constitution, guaranteeing "to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government," and guaranteeing protection to "each of them against invasion," and
WHEREAS, further, the pretended ratification of the so-called 14th and 15th Amendments by Georgia and other States whose sovereign powers had been unlawfully seized by force of arms against the peace and dignity of the people of those States, were necessary to give color to the claim of the so-called 40th and 41st Congresses that these socalled amendments had been ratified by three-fourths of the States; and
WHEREAS, it is a well-established principle of law that the mere lapse of time does not confirm by common acquiescence an invalidlyenacted provision of law just as it does not repeal by general desuetude of a provision validly enacted; and
WHEREAS, the continued recognition of the 14th and 15th Amend ments as valid parts of the Constitution of the United States is in compatible with the present day position of the United States as the World's champion of Constitutional governments resting upon the con sent of the people given through their lawful representatives;

subpoena, or failure or refusal of any witness to answer any question, without cause; to provide for enforcement of such subpoena by con tempt; to provide for witness fees; to provide for employment of a clerical and investigative force by the committee; to provide for pay ment of expenses; to provide that the Attorney General shall represent said committee; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, this General Assembly is reliably informed that cer tain corporations and organizations active in this State are fomenting strife, and encouraging and promoting litigation, and
WHEREAS, this General Assembly also has before it evidence that certain of said corporations and organizations have communistic affiliations and backgrounds which have been withheld from the general public, and
WHEREAS, said corporations and organizations are reported to be soliciting funds and memberships from well-meaning but misguided zealots and liberals who are not aware of the subversive character of such organizations and corporations, and
WHEREAS, it is therefore appropriate that this General Assem bly make investigation as to the need, or lack of need, for legislation regulating such organizations and associations to the end that the public will be better informed as to their true motives and aims:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1
There is hereby created a joint House-Senate Committee, to be composed of three members of the House appointed by the Speaker thereof, and three members of the Senate, to be appointed by the President thereof. The Speaker of the House and the LieutenantGovernor will serve as ex-officio members of said Committee. Said Committee shall convene as soon as possible after adjournment of the General Assembly and organize by electing a Chairman.
SECTION 2
The Committee shall make a thorough investigation of the activi ties of all corporations, organizations, associations, and other like groups which seek to influence public opinion or encourage or promote litigation in this State. The Committee shall conduct its investigation so as to collect evidence and information which shall be necessary or useful in the drafting and preparation of legislation dealing with the following subjects:
1. Barratry.
2. The need, or lack of need, for legislation requiring all corpora tions, organizations, associations and other groups, as referred to above, to register as lobbyists, and divulge information as to the public concerning their officials, memberships, finances, methods which would serve to protect the public in dealing with such associations or cor porations.
3. Any needed amendments to the Subversive Activities Act.

5. The need, or lack of need, for legislation re-defining the taxable status of such corporations, associations, organizations and other groups, as above referred to, and further defining the status of donations to such organizations or corporations from a taxation standpoint.
SECTION 3.
Said Committee may hold hearings anywhere in the State, and shall have authority to issue subpoenas requiring the attendance of witnesses and the production of papers, books, records, documents, and other evidence, which subpoenas may be served by any Sheriff of this State, or any agent investigator of the Committee, and his return shown thereon. Any person, firm, corporation, association or organization which fails to appear in response to any such subpoena as therein required, or to produce any papers, records, documents, books or other evidence, or any person who fails or refuses, without legal cause, to answer any question propounded to him, shall bs guilty of a misde meanor and after conviction therefor shall be punished as provided by law. In addition, the testimony of such witness, of the production of any books, records, documents or other evidence may be compelled by the superior court of the county wherein such refusal or failure was made. Upon certification of such fact to the judge of the Superior Court by the Chairman of the Committee, it shall be the duty of said Judge to issue an attachment for contempt against such witnesses or person as in other cases, requiring the latter to show cause why he or she should not be held in civil contempt.

SECTION 4
Each member of the Committee shall receive, in addition to actual travel expenses, the same per diem as received by members of other interim committees, while engaged in official duties as a member of said Committee.
SECTION 5
Said Committee shall be authorized to employ a clerical force and such investigators and other personnel as it may deem necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act, and may expend moneys for the procuring of information from other sources.
SECTION 6
All funds herein authorized to be spent by the Committee, including the per diem and travel expenses of the members thereof, shall be paid out of funds appropriated by law for the General Assembly, upon certification to the State Treasurer of such expenses by the Chairman.

WHEREAS, the United States of America can be changed from a sovereign nation under the Constitution of the United States into a slave state through the United Nations and its specialized agencies, merely by molding the minds and attitudes of our children during two generations; and
WHEREAS, the United Nations agencies have definite provisions not to interfere with the educational systems of member nations, yet within thirty-six months after the signing of the United Nations charter, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Or ganization (UNESCO) was planning to indoctrinate every young per son in the United States by instructing our youth for their share in the new order of internationalism, not Americanism; to develop quali ties for world citizenship, not American; to provide the foundation for a totalitarian world government; to correct the home influence where the child is "infected with narrow nationalism", meaning patriotism; to counteract the errors of the Christian home training; and to in doctrinate the children with the socialistic doctrine of world govern ment, which negates liberty under the law of the Constitution of the United States; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all UNESCO courses and material and other world government material be eliminated from all tax-supported public schools, colleges and universities of the State of Georgia.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is hereby instructed to transmit a copy of this resolution to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and to each member of the Georgia Congressional delegation.

By the Senate:
A RESOLUTION
To adopt as a part of the Official Code of the State of Georgia the statutory portions of the text of the Georgia Code Annotated, and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, there has been no official codification of the Acts of the General Assembly since 1933, and it is recognized that due to the great number of amendments and modifications of statutes, it is prac tically impossible for the Courts or the attorneys of the State in many cases to determine what the law is without some codification of the same; and

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1957

983

WHEREAS, there have at recent sessions of the General Assembly been several resolutions introduced relative to the codification of the laws, said resolutions having failed of passage due to the fears of the Bar and of the State Agencies most interested that the passage of such resolutions would result in the loss of the valuable nucleus of codified law provided by the Code of 1933; and .
WHEREAS, the attorneys and courts of the State have found their needs for a codification of the laws more than adequately supplied by the Georgia Code Annotated, said Annotated Code having been con stantly referred to in briefs of counsel and cited by the Appellate Courts, but said publication having suffered somewhat in its usefulness because it is of secondary, rather than primary authority; and
WHEREAS, the Georgia Code Annotated presents a clear, lucid and adequate codification of all the statutory laws enacted since 1933, and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the Georgia Code Annotated would be by far the most economical means of securing a codification of the laws of the State; and since such adoption would alleviate the fear of the attorneys and agencies of the State that the Code is about to be drastically altered;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA; that the entire statutory text of the Geor gia Code Annotated is hereby" declared to be a part of the Official Code of Georgia, and that all Code Sections in said Georgia Code Annotated bearing the same numbers as sections of the Georgia Code of 1933 are declared to supersede such earlier Code Sections.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Georgia Code Annotated, as herein referred to is hereby defined as the codification of all statutes appearing in said publication beginning with the Acts and Resolutions enacted by the General Assembly at the Regular Session in 1935, and inclusive of those passed at the Regular Session of 1956, together with all intermediately enacted laws so codified, whether said material shall appear in the original volumes of said publication, in any recompiled volume, in the Pocket Supplement of 1955, or in the Pamphlet Supple ment of 1956.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that nothing herein shall be con strued as adopting as official any editorial comment or annotation con tained in said Georgia Code Annotated, but it is specifically stated to be the purpose of the Resolution to adopt only matter designated as Sections of the Code.

All persons employed by the Fulton County Board of Education, who are now or were formerly school bus drivers or cafeteria personnel, shall be entitled to receive retire ment benefits under the provisions of this Act. Such employees shall be entitled to receive credit for each year of prior service with the said Board of Education in such capacity or in a similar capacity, provided such employee shall pay into the pension fund the amount of contributions which he would have paid into the present pension fund maintained by the said Board of Education, based upon his initial salary plus 3% interest compounded annually from the date of employment, if for such years he had been covered by the pro visions of this Act."

When any teacher or employee shall retire, volun tarily or automatically, according to age, and has credit for the number of years service as provided herein, he shall be paid a monthly pension which shall, as to amount, be the equivalent of one-half of the monthly salary or wage of such teacher or employee, arrived at by taking the average monthly salary paid during the five consecutive years that the teacher or employee drew his highest monthly salary or wage, or one-half of the average monthly salary received during the last three years of employment, whichever is the greater amount. To illustrate: if the applicant for a pension during the five consecutive years in which he drew his highest monthly salary or wage drew an average monthly salary or wage of $300.00 per month, he would be entitled to an allowance of a pension or retirement pay in the sum of $150.00 per month.

Any contributing member may, by written designation filed with the Treasurer, specify any person, whether related to him or not, to receive from the County Treasurer any refund of such member's contribution which may become repayable in the event of such member's death, and if such written designation remains on file with the Treasurer at time of death, such refund shall be paid in accordance therewith.

Credit for service other than in Fulton County shall be limited to ten years, for which the teacher or em ployee claiming credit shall contribute the same amount (viz., the same percentage based on the same salary) as such teacher or em ployee would have contributed had he or she been a teacher or employee of the school system of Fulton County during the same period. If such service was rendered during a period prior to the enactment of this law, such contribution shall be based upon the requirements of this Act as originally adopted.
