LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR VANDIVER, SPEAKER MOATE, MEM BERS OF THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES AND MY FELLOW GEORGIANS:
Another year has passed since we last met to review the steady and genuine progress the State of Georgia is making and to take a comprehensive look at the future with both its problems and its oppor tunities.
In this annual "State of the State" message I am happy to reveal that our rate of improvement and expansion has been accelerated during the last twelve months.
For the past three years, with the help of a cooperative and farseeing General Assembly and with the support and the confidence of the masses of the people of Georgia, our state has made unprecedented progress in all fields of endeavor.
As we approach the last year in my term of office as your Chief Executive, let me express my deep appreciation to each of you for your sincerity of purpose, your loyalty to Georgia and her great insti tutions and for the hours of labor which you expended unselfishly to promote progress and to develop our state's resources.
I envision this year to be Georgia's greatest year of advancement in her history.
All services of government are being carried on without inter ruption.
Expansions have been made in the fields of education, highways, public health and public welfare. Industrial development has reached a new and an all-time high in our state.
More consideration has been given to providing parks and adequate recreational facilities. Thousands of acres in new recreational areas have been created due to the construction of multi-purpose dams in Georgia by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army. These areas are being developed and improved for the enjoyment of Georgians as well as for attractions to tourists who are coming into our state in increasing numbers.
More emphasis has been placed on public safety.
The financial condition of your state government is sound. Georgia today is both solvent and sovereign and will remain so throughout my term as Governor.
There is a comfortable reserve in the state treasury to guarantee continued expansion of essential services. This reserve will not be dissipated but will be kept for a "rainy day".

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1958

I have called upon all department heads in state government to economize in every way possible without diminishing essential services, and I also call upon the distinguished members of the General Assembly to help me "hold the line" on all fronts, bearing in mind that as Georgia grows in population and in wealth so must our schools, our highways, our eleemosynary institutions, our public health services and the re sponsibility that we owe the unfortunate in this state.
We must exercise every economy in state government, but a prudent administration of government must not overlook good sound business which may require some capital outlay to bring future benefits. To do so would be like disposing of seed corn on the farm.
I do not advocate any additional or new taxes for the remainder of my term of office, nor do I believe that the demands upon state government will permit a reduction in any existing revenue laws.
In conformity with the law, I shall address this distinguished body at a later date and make budget recommendations.

EDUCATION
In the field of education, this General Assembly and this admin istration can stand with pride on a progressive record of achievement. This is true in our common schools as well as in the University System.
However, I call to your attention the challenges of a dynamic new era--a scientific era where the frontiers extend infinitely.
For instance, the predictable future for application of nuclear energy already is so large in scope that it staggers the imagination.
We are meeting this challenge in Georgia today.
Since this body met last year, we have made two great steps forward which are certain to rebound to the advantage of all our people in the near future.
One was the establishment of a nuclear energy research program which includes the construction of a nuclear reactor at Georgia Tech.
This entire program will represent a present investment of about 5% million dollars. It was my pleasure to allocate $2,500,000 for this Research Reactor facility with the understanding that a similar amount will be forthcoming from Federal government and other sources.
The state also supplied an isotopes laboratory costing about $300,000, also located at Georgia Tech.
This investment in nuclear science and engineering, specifically in research and education centered about a modern research facility, will pay large dividends to the State of Georgia and to the South.
Support of the nuclear energy program of education and research will permit the Georgia Institute of Technology to move toward an even higher position of leadership in the nation.

SCIENCE CENTER The other program expected to bring benefits to every Georgia

24

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

citizen in the future is the gigantic $12,000,000 Science Center now being constructed at the University of Georgia in Athens.
This is the most ambitious building plan ever undertaken by the University in its long and distinguished history.
Recent allocation of almost $3,000,000 to this activity, which was made by me from contingent funds, makes a total of almost $8,000,000 made available for this purpose from these funds since 1956.
Combined with $3,750,000 provided by the Board of Regents, we find we have made available nearly $12,000,000 for this mighty project.
This Science Center, the finest of its kind in the nation, will house in one location, the University's work in the all-important scientific fields of chemistry, biology, geography and geology, animal sciences, physics and food technology plus facilities to provide for extensive nuclear research.
The new center is another step forward in our efforts to provide for our young people the very best in educational opportunity.
This is being done at a time when more and more emphasis is being placed upon the importance of the various sciences, making it almost mandatory that our future leaders be well prepared in this vital field.
In scientific research, we have been doing in Georgia for the past several years what the Federal Government should have been doing five years ago.
Much valuable information which aided in the inauguration of these two magnificent scientific programs came from the Southern Regional Education Board which has headquarters in Georgia and for which it was my pleasure to allocate $250,000 for the construction of an office building for the organization, this cost to be refunded to the State over a 25 year period.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS
Educators, teachers and laymen alike agree that progress has been phenomenal in the field of education since this administration came into office.
People are amazed and proud when they drive through the 159 counties of this state and see the many new modern schools that have been built to house our children. And with the raises in salaries there is a diminishing number of our teachers looking to other fields and other locations for employment.
The appropriation for common school and higher education has increased from $116,524,738.72 in 1954-55 to $156,210,000 in 1957-58, or almost $40,000,000 more than any year before this administration came into office.
Out of every dollar that comes in from revenue, 53^ is used for education--a larger percentage than any other state in the nation.
COMMON SCHOOL EDUCATION
The number of children attending schools in Georgia is increasing at a rate of 30,000 each year. Today there are nearly a million children

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1958

25

enrolled in our public schools. This factor has necessitated hiring addi tional teachers, constructing new buildings and improving existing facilities.
Since January 11, 1955, new school projects have been completed, authorized, let to contract or placed under construction in almost all of the 200 county and independent school systems. We have added 1,748 new teachers to our county and city systems and plans are under way to add 1,000 more before the school year begins in 1958.

EXPANDED PROGRAMS
During this administration teachers have received a total of $500 a year each in across-the-board salary raises. This money increased the average salary of teachers from $2,888 in 1954-55 to $3,450 in the present fiscal year.
Since this administration started, 629 new school busses have been added, bringing the total to 4,874 now in operation serving 410,500 children.
A comprehensive and efficient program of distributing textbooks on a state level has been maintained efficiently and economically.
More than $100,000 additional money has been provided for modern school libraries.
The state allocation for vocational education has increased from $1,788,000 in 1955 to $3,567,000 last year.
Expansions and improvements have been made at the trade schools located at Clarkesville and Americus costing an additional outlay of $1,270,000.
In the vocational rehabilitation program, Georgia now leads the entire nation.
SCHOOL BUILDING PROGRAM
The State School Building Authority, which was set up in 1951, has been making a steady advance throughout this administration.
Prom January 1955, to July 1957, there were 314 new school plants completed and an astounding total of 6,527 classrooms added to our school systems. Also, there have been 363 additions and remodeling projects completed during the same period. These needed plants and additions were financed through the Building Authority by four bond issues totaling $157,909,000.

NEGRO EDUCATION
The need for improving Negro educational facilities was a matter of immediate concern when this administration came into office. Many negro children were attending one-room school houses and some of these schools had been condemned as fire hazards.
Since January, 1955, 169 new schools and 3,447 classrooms have been constructed for Negroes. Plans are now completed for 86 more schools and 1,379 classrooms for Negroes by the end of 1958.

26

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

TOTAL APPROPRIATION INCREASED
The annual state appropriation for common school education has increased from $104,979,418.72 in 1954-55 to $134,610,000 in 1957-58, or almost $30 million dollars more during the first three years of this administration.
TEACHER RETIREMENT
One of the most important contributions of this administration toward teacher retirement is the provision for a minimum monthly pension of $100 for retired teachers with 35 or more years service. This amount doubles the previous minimum pension of $50 per month.
The appropriation for the teacher retirement program is now $7,500,000 compared to $5,232,311.04, in 1954-55.
Another improvement for the teacher retirement system was the Enabling Act which took effect in January 1956, and which provides for social security for school teachers.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
According to figures obtained from the office of the Board of Regents, the University System is in better condition than at any previous time in its history.
The state appropriation for colleges and universities has increased from $11,545,320 in 1954-55 to $21,600,000 in 1957-58. In addition, this administration has made available funds totalling $23,289,560 for the erection of buildings and for various improvements within the University System since January, 1955.
The average salary of all faculty members in the University System has increased from $4,624 in 1954-55 to $5,538 in 1957-58. The minimum salary has increased from $2,600 to $3,200 and the maximum is now $11,000 as compared to $9,230 in 1954-55. This increase has resulted in a marked improvement in the morale of faculty members.

NEGRO FACILITIES IMPROVED
This administration has made a concentrated effort to provide equal educational opportunities for all of our Negro citizens. Since January 1955, twelve buildings have been constructed or planned for construction at our three negro colleges at a total cost of $3,935,605.
According to University officials the programs of work in the institutions for Negroes are now broader in scope and better in quality than at any time in the state's history.
This genuine progress in education is an indication that we are providing all our children adequate tools to work with, but we certainly cannot stop here.
We must make even greater provisions for future generations in order that we can continue to provide "quality education" for our leaders of tomorrow, and I assure you that these advancements in the field of education will continue as long as I am your Governor.

PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRESS
In our public health department we have made notable advances particularly in the continuation of the hospital and health center con struction program under the Hill-Burton Act in cooperation with the Federal and local governments.
The Hill-Burton Program for hospital construction originally was set up as a five year project in 1947. Since 1952, it has been extended two years at a time. In 1954, Congress included an additional provision which authorized construction of Diagnostic and Treatment Centers, Nursing Homes, Chronic Disease Facilities and Rehabilitation Centers.
NEW HOSPITALS
Since January 1955, there have been 18 new hospitals completed, placed under construction or approved at a total cost of $17,610,741.97 in State, Federal and local funds. Also, additions and alterations to existing hospitals have been completed, placed under construction or approved for a total cost of $18,573,720.89. These new hospitals, addi tions and alterations have added to our hospital system a total of 2,087 beds.
HEALTH CENTERS
Seventy-two health centers have been constructed in Georgia since the program was initiated in 1947. Fourteen of these have been com pleted since January 1955, thirteen are under construction and six additions are being made to existing centers.
In addition to the centers, a nursing home at Moultrie, rehabilita tion centers at Savannah and Warm Springs, diagnostic and treatment centers at Emory University and Albany, and a chronic disease hospital at Marietta have been approved or placed under construction since January 1955.
The total construction program since January 1955, amounts to $42,728,592.69 and embraces 72 projects which have been completed, placed under construction or approved.
MENTAL HEALTH
Gratifying advancement and improvement has been made in the important established programs of the health department including venereal disease, heart disease, cancer and mental health.
In May, 1957, this administration allocated $75,000 a quarter to begin a screening and short-term treatment program for the mentally ill of moderate means to relieve the patient load at Milledgeville State Hospital.
HIGHWAY ACTIVITIES
This administration, aware of the ever increasing demand for more and better roads, has embarked on a program of highway expansion and improvement never before equalled in this state.
INCREASED APPROPRIATION
The state appropriation for the Highway Department has ad vanced from $55,738,883.91 in 1954-55 to $70,112,014.10 in 1957-58. The

28

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

total program for all phases of the Highway Department, including federal and state funds has increased from $69,153,182.91 in 1954-55 to $129,448,918.10 in 1957-58. The vast increase is due to the additional federal funds and state matching funds under the 1956 Federal-Aid Highway Act.
RURAL ROADS AUTHORITY
Realizing the growing need for improved roads in our rural areas, the 1955 Legislature, on my recommendation, enacted the Rural Roads Authority.
The program was swiftly put into operation. By July, 1955, the first bond increment was set up to finance $14,500,000.00 for roads in 123 counties. In March, 1956, an additional $15,500,000.00 was set up for road construction in 114 counties. In December, 1956, an addi tional $17,500,000.00 was authorized by proclamation to cover the third bond increment which involved 120 counties. The fourth bond increment for $17,500,000.00 was sold in July, 1957, involving 121 counties. The amount of the four bond increments totals $65,000,000.00 for 3,124 miles of roads in all 159 counties in Georgia.
Bonds for the fifth increment in the amount of $17,500,000 will be validated this week.
The entire Rural Roads Program, involving $100,000,000.00 for rural roads construction is scheduled for completion by the end of 1958.
INTERSTATE SYSTEM
The 1956 Federal-Aid Highway Act launched the biggest road building program in the nation's history. This colossal $50 billion project, slated for completion in 13 years, calls for the construction of 41,000 miles of superhighways in the nation.
Georgia's share of these express-type highways will total 1,171 miles, and will be financed on a 10% state and 90% Federal matching basis.
Engineers estimate that it will take almost one billion dollars to complete this network of modern highways in Georgia.
PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND URBAN ROADS
This same Act calls for the expansion and improvement of our system of primary, secondary and urban roads. State matching funds, on a 50-50 basis, are being provided to take advantage of this phase of the program.
ENTIRE PROGRAM
State and Federal funds for the entire Federal-Aid Program amounted to $40,000,000.00 in 1956, increased to $71,000,000.00 in 1957, and will reach $83,250,000.00 in 1958 and $92,178,000.00 in 1059. It is expected that the program will be stabilized at $100 million annually in 1960 and remain at that figure until the program is completed.
STATE-AID PROGRAM
The State-Aid Program covers projects such as post roads and farm-to-market roads which are financed by 100 per cent state f'linds.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1958

29

Since January, 1955 funds totalling $24,169,516.90 have been spent to build some 3,000 miles of roads under this program.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the State Highway System is one of the biggest jobs performed by the Highway Department. In 1956-57, state funds amounted to $11,298,000.00 for this operation. Since January, 1955, there have been approximately 270 miles of pavement widened, 1,450 miles of roads resurfaced and 212 miles of roads repaired.

BRIDGE BUILDING AUTHORITY
A total of 208 bridges, which were authorized under the original $30 million program of the State Bridge Building Authority, have been completed during this administration. In addition to this, 47 bridges located in 29 counties have been let to contract under this Authority since January, 1955.

WELFARE DEPARTMENT
In the Public Welfare Department we have made steady advance ments, both in the expansion of benefits and in the construction of new buildings and additions in our important state institutions.

MORE MATCHING FUNDS
During the first fiscal year of this administration, 1955-56, more funds were available to match Federal funds and the Welfare Program swelled to an all-time high of $65,084,990.31. In 1957-58, it rose to a sum of $74,413,000, with the State providing a record $19,000,000. This compares to a total program of $62,247,685.98 in 1954-55.

INCREASING ENROLLMENT
The number of persons receiving welfare aid has increased from 148,645 in 1954-55 to almost 157,000 last year. The average monthly payments for aid to the disabled, old age assistance, aid to the blind and aid to dependent or crippled children has seen a substantial in crease in the last three years.

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE .HOSPITAL
The state appropriation for operating Milledgeville State Hospital has increased from $7,943,548.52 in 1954-55 to over $9,900,000.00 in 1957-58. Numerous improvements have been made at the hospital during this administration. Construction projects totaling $3,620,000 have been placed under construction or approved since January, 1955.

SCHOOL FOR MENTAL DEFECTIVES
Special attention has been given to expanding and improving the Training School for Mental Defectives at Gracewood.
Since January, 1955, a total of $2,608,500 has been provided for construction projects at this institution. These projects include an activities building, eight dormitories, a hospital building, warehouses,

30

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

two infirmary buildings and improvements to the general plant such as equipment, farm improvements, water system extension and others.
The appropriation for Gracewood has increased from $738,578.55 in 1954-55 to over $1,000,000.00 in 1957-58.
Many needed improvements have been made at other institutions. The Factory for the Blind in Atlanta which was destroyed by fire has been rebuilt. New buildings and substantial additions have been pro vided at the Training School for Boys at Milledgeville and the Training School for Girls at Adamsville.

SCHOOL FOR NEGRO CHILDREN
Realizing the need for an institution for mentally defective Negro children, the 1956 General Assembly enacted a law providing $500,000 for this purpose.

ADVANCEMENT IN AGRICULTURE
During this administration we have made steady and sustained progress in our general programs of agriculture for the benefit of the farmers of our state.
One of the outstanding achievements we have made for the benefit of the farmers of Georgia was the installation of a series of agricultural research programs.
The first of these will make possible the construction of a swine strain testing laboratory at the Coastal Plains Experiment Station at Tifton. Another is the erection of a swine nutrition laboratory at the same location. A Rural Arts Building is to be constructed at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College at Tifton. A beef sire testing laboratory is to be built.
These agencies are designed, in part, to promote betterment of the swine industry, the gross returns of which amount to that of beef cattle and dairy cattle combined.
We furnished funds to eradicate the deadly fire ant in Georgia.
A far-reaching program to eradicate Bangs disease in cattle was launched.
Additional facilities have been furnished to combat various diseases of poultry.
We have installed and put into operation a modern Cobalt irradi ation machine at the State College of Agriculture at Athens. This machine is designed to open new vistas in plant breeding.
Expenditures for these programs will amount to about half a mil lion dollars and there is no better way in which this money could be spent.
MARKET IMPROVEMENTS
Since January 1955, great emphasis has been placed on improving the physical facilities of the State Farmers Markets throughout Georgia.
One of the laregst undertakings in the history of Georgia Agri culture is the construction of the new Atlanta Farmers Market. This

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1958

31

market, which embraces some 146 acres on U. S. Highway 41 South of Atlanta, will cost over $10,000,000 and when completed this year, will
be one of the finest of its kind in the world.

EXTENSION SERVICE
In recent years both the state and federal government have become increasingly aware of the value of the Extension Service Program and the need for expanding this work. During this administration, both State and Federal funds for this program have increased from $2,038,267 to $3,146,000.
In addition, we have allocated $400,000 for the Rock Eagle 4-H Club Center and $200,000 for the Negro 4-H Club Center in Dublin. We have cooperated to the fullest extent with all major 4-H Club and Future Farmers of America programs.

VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE
Georgia's program of Vocational Agriculture is the largest in the nation. During this administration the enrollment in this field of study has increased by 9,273 persons.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Safety on our public roads and highways has been one of our pri mary concerns. A conscientious and determined effort has been made to cut down the number of traffic deaths in Georgia.
We have added 100 additional State troopers since this administra tion came into office, in a determined effort to reduce the tragic death toll upon Georgia's roads.

DEATH DECREASED
Our program of intensified enforcement is paying off in preventing deaths on our highways.
In the year 1957, total deaths on the highways amounted to 984 which has 154 less than the 1,138 deaths reported in 1956. These figures show that our improved facilities and enlarged patrol accomplished substantial results in reducing the death toll on our highways by a record 14% last year, which is one of the largest reduction percentages in the nation.
The appropriation for this department has almost doubled during the last three years--increasing from $2,444,000 in 1954-55 to $4,100,000 for 1956-57. A new headquarters was dedicated in February of last year costing nearly a million and a half dollars, which included a new crime laboratory that is the finest of its kind in the nation.

FORESTRY
Georgia's largest and one of the most valuable natural resources is her 24 million acres of forest lands.
Production of forest industries, forest employment and the market ing of forest products and related industries account for more than

32

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

$750 million a year of the state's annual income. Some 200,000 Georgians are directly employed in the more than 3,000 wood-using industries throughout the state.

LEADS THE SOUTH AND NATION
Georgia leads the South in pulpwood production, harvesting in excess of three million cords annually. South Georgia is the world's naval stores capital. And Georgia stands first in the nation in the amount of forest acreage under organized protection.
Symbolic of the genuine progress made in Georgia's rapidly ex panding forestry program is the national award which Georgia received last month from the United States Forest Service that named Georgia the "number one" state in the entire nation in the production of pine seedlings. In recognition of this distinct honor, the "billionth" pine seedling was awarded to Georgia by the government and was planted just prior to Christmas at Macon.
The seedling production of the Forestry Department has been doubled during this administration and production at the State's six seedling nurseries produced well over 175 million seedlings last year and the Forestry Department is preparing to plant 300 million trees in 1958.
More than $1,000,000 was made available for construction of a new State Headquarters near Macon. The fire protection program has been extended to 147 counties and has been offered to the remaining 12 counties. More fire towers, fire fighting vehicles and radio units as well as more employees have been added.

PARKS AND RECREATION
Ten State parks have been established during this administration, and Georgia now has more state parks than any state in the Southeast, with a total of 41.
Titles to all state park property have been cleared and many im provements have been added to all parks, $334,000 additional funds having been furnished since January, 1955.

GAME AND FISH COMMISSION
Many improvements have been made in the State Game and Fish Department during this administration and new and expanded services have been added. During last year the sale of hunting and fishing li censes reached the one-millionth mark for the first time. Revenue from such sales have virtually doubled during the past three years.
Two new fish hatcheries have been added and the work of stocking the many lakes and private ponds of the state has shown steady progress. Notable strides have been made in game management.
The department has shown special cooperation with industries of Georgia in conserving wildlife resources.

CORRECTIONS Today, Georgia's penal system is looked upon as one of the best

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1958

33

and most efficient in the nation because of the many improvements we have made.
There are now 15 state-operated prison units in Georgia. Seven of these were constructed since January, 1955, at a cost of $420,000.
In addition to these newly constructed units, many of the other units have been renovated and plans are under way to construct several more units by the end of 1958.

STATE WIDE PROBATION PROGRAM INAUGURATED
T
One of the most progressive steps Georgia has inaugurated in the general field of corrections in recent years is the state-wide pro bation program, enacted by the General Assembly during the 1956 session. Prior to that, only five counties in the state operated a pro bation program. Our Pardon and Parole system is today operating at a greater degree of efficiency than ever before in our history.

MILITARY AND CIVIL DEFENSE
The Georgia National Guard now has units located in 66 different communities throughout the state. This compares with 57 communities in December, 1954.
We have added 22 Army and Air National Guard Units since January, 1955. The total strength of our National Guard has increased from 10,297 officers and enlisted men in 1954 to 13,529 in 1957.

CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM
Since the Armory Construction Program began in 1953, there have been 36 armories completed in this state. Thirty-four of these have been completed since January, 1955, and three more are under con struction.
VETERANS SERVICE
We have consistently followed a policy of providing every possible means of support and encouragement for the veterans of this state.
Since January, 1955, Georgia veterans have received benefits total ling $121,804,183. Over $23 million of this amount can be attributed directly to the actions initiated by the State Department of Veterans Service. Records indicate that personnel from this Department have filed 127,815 claims since January, 1955, to obtain benefits for Georgia veterans.
NEW INDUSTRIES
The movement to bring new industries to Georgia and to encourage construction of new factories with local capital has been accelerated during this administration. By invitation, I appeared at important meetings of business leaders held in Pittsburgh, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and other cities. On these occasions the vast natural resources and advantages possessed by Georgia for industrial operations were outlined.
As a result of these meetings, the activity to increase the number of new industries was greatly stimulated.

34

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

In 1957, Georgians maintained her position as one of the two or three top industry-gaining states of the nation.
During the year, Georgia added more than 200 new manufacturing firms. These plants, large and small, represent investment of approxi mately $165,000,000 in new capital. They provide some 7,200 new, regu lar jobs for workers. There aggregate annual payroll amounts to about $21,000,000.
In addition, more than 100 established manufacturers announced plant expansions and the installation of new machinery or equipment. The cost of these enlargements and improvements easily totals $75,000,000 and each and every one of them represents an increase in the number of gainfully employed workers.

RECOMMENDATIONS
To promote future progress in our state, to develop further our great resources, to assume the responsibility which rests upon our shoulders in this generation, and to provide for the general welfare of all Georgians, I submit for your thoughtful and careful consideration the following recommendations:
I. RURAL ROADS. I recommend that the total capitalization available for rural roads construction be increased by 50 million dollars. This will make these valuable roads available to many additional areas which badly need them. It also means that the present program of rural road construction throughout the State can be carried on in the future without any serious curtailment.
II. STONE MOUNTAIN. I am convinced that the purchase of Stone Mountain and adjacent property by the State, and completion of the Confederate Memorial by a competent authority will be of ever lasting benefit to the present generation and all future citizens of this State, and the entire Southland.
I recommend that this General Assembly authorize and direct that the Stone Mountain property be purchased by the State immediately for public use, and that if necessary, the right of eminent domain be exercised.
III. ELECTION LAWS. To maintain the high standards of re quirements for voting in Georgia's elections, I recommend that you give careful consideration to the report of the Election Law Study Committee of this General Assembly.
IV. MENTAL HEALTH. A Joint Committee of this General As sembly has been working diligently for several months to prepare im portant and far-reaching recommendations which are designed to bring about sweeping improvements in the field of mental health.
One of the greatest problems facing the people of Georgia and this General Assembly, is the enactment of remedial legislature in this important field of public health. We should strive to make our eleemosy nary institutions centers of treatment and cure instead of looking upon them as merely custodial institutions.
Of the many recommendations that your Mental Health Study Committee has made which affect the field of mental health, I direct your special attention to the recommendations which would provide for

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1958

35

additional psychiatrists in Georgia; which would revamp the present antiquated commitment laws; and which provides that the Division of Mental Health, established by me last year by Executive Order, shall in the future function by law.
I commend the members of the Joint Mental Health Committee for their careful, pain-staking, and time-consuming study of this prob lem. I recommend that you give sympathetic understanding and con sideration to the recommendations of this Joint Committee.
V. MARRIAGE LAW. Georgia does not desire the dubious honor of being called a "Gretna Green" state. This administration has pre pared legislation to prevent "quickie marriages" in our state. I recom mend that you give thoughtful consideration to this proposal when it is presented to you.
VI. PUBLIC SAFETY. While gratifying progress was made in reducing the number of fatalities on Georgia's roads, streets, and high ways, a great deal more must be accomplished in this all-important field. Those who use our streets and roads must have more security against the thoughtless, reckless, and incompetent, vehicle driver. I recommend rigid enforcement of traffic laws and a more uniform method of enforcement. I heartily endorse the recommendation of your Traffic Safety Study Committee that the Department of Public Safety be given the responsibility of administering a driver education program in the schools of Georgia.
The Board of the Department of Public Safety has recommended and I have approved the installation of a longevity pay raise schedule for certain members of the Georgia State Patrol and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and I recommend that this Legislature give careful consideration to this measure when it appears before you.
VII. JUVENILE DETENTION HOMES--PROBATION. I recom mend the prompt construction of juvenile detention homes in those areas not now having such facilities, as part of our continuing fight against our ever increasing problem of juvenile delinquency. I further favor the broadening and strengthening of the state-wide probation act, which has been effective in rehabilitating offenders and a strong deterrent to increasing our prison population.
VIII. PORT DEVELOPMENT. Since Georgia is attaining new levels in water transportation benefits both in our Atlantic sea ports and inland waterways, I recommend that the State cooperate in every way possible with the Ports Authority in expanding and broadening the facilities under its jurisdiction. This includes enlargement of facilities at Savannah, increased cooperation for Brunswick, and pre paring means for development on such rivers as have been deepened for successful navigation.
I.. JUNIOR COLLEGE PROGRAM. In order to prepare for the forthcoming increase in student population in our institutions of higher learning, I recommend that this General Assembly give consideration to the proposal to provide for the establishment of intermediate or junior college level institutions in urban areas of the state. The estab lishment of such institutions would provide educational opportunities to countless thousands of Georgia's young people who would not other wise have the benefit of college training.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

X. PEACE OFFICERS BENEFIT FUND. The Act creating the Peace Officers' Annuity and Benefit Fund was passed while I was serving as Lieutenant Governor. It was my privilege to assist in the passage of this legislation and it has always been my desire to assist the peace officers of this State in every way possible.
A joint committee of the House and Senate has made a study of the Annuity and Benefit Fund, and along with a committee of peace offi cers, has recommended some changes in the Act creating the Fund, which wilj go towards making the Fund more actuarially sound.
I wholeheartedly endorse these recommendations as your Governor and as a member of the Board of Commissioners which administers the Fund.
XI. PROVISION FOR AGED AND AGING. Inasmuch as I feel it is incumbent upon this administration to make full utilization of the aged in Georgia, and in an effort to further the study and provide for the welfare of the aged and aging, I recommend that you give con sideration to the establishment of a Gerontology Commission to be estab lished to serve for a period not to exceed two years in order that this social problem can be solved successfully.

SEGREGATION
My friends, we are facing, in the integration fight, one of the most serious situations that has arisen since the foundation of this nation.
It is a matter of satisfaction to all good citizens of Georgia that we have thus far successfully resisted, by legal means, all efforts to integrate the public schools of this State.
Since the illegal decision of the United States Supreme Court was handed down in 1954, there has been nothing but turmoil, storm and strife following in its wake.
We have witnessed the unwise, ill-advised, and precedent-shatter ing decision of the President of this nation to send armed troops of the United States to subdue, with fixed bayonets, a peaceful people living in the capital of Arkansas who passively resisted the attempt now in progress to integrate the Central High School in that city.
The act of sending these troops to Little Rock has been denounced by leading newspapers, magazines, government, state and local offi cials and outstanding thinkers in all parts of this country.
That one act crystallized sentiment in the nation against the efforts of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to force social equality between the races on the people of the United States through the aid of brow-beaten "modern Republicans" and fanatically inclined Democrats.
This movement definitely has been cheeked.
It is significant that a rising tide of adverse criticism of the Supreme Court because of the decision in the segregation case and in other recent decisions is rolling over the country.
Among those opposing the usurpation of power by this court are

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1958

the American Bar Association, the Attorney Generals Association and other important groups.
The vast majority of the loyal and patriotic citizens of Georgia are backing us in this fight.
We are determined not to accept any usurpation of power reserved to the states of this union and through legal means we will fight this battle with all our resources.
We will not bow the knee to tyranny nor will be submit meekly to the persecutions of a despotic gang of political fortune hunters who seek this power for their own personal advancement.
With stout hearts and resolute unity we will win this struggle in the long run and, God willing, preserve all our traditions of freedom and liberty in our beloved State of Georgia.

HE 294. By Mr. Overby of Hall:
A RESOLUTION
Relating to preservation and improvement of a favorable industrial climate for Georgia; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, during the past ten years, under a prevailing favor able industrial climate, Georgia has attracted many new manufacturing plants and has experienced broad expansion of its existing industry, to the benefit of its overall economy arid all of its people; and
WHEREAS, for this greatly needed attraction and expansion to continue, it will be vitally important for Georgia to maintain and im prove its industrial climate; and
WHEREAS, capital investment must be provided to create the employment opportunities necessary to meet the demands of a rapidly increasing population; and
WHEREAS, industry and agriculture are the basis on which the total business economy rests; and
WHEREAS, the growth and development of industry provides much needed revenue for community and governmental services as well as payrolls, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of all our people; and

WHEREAS, the improvement and preservation of our industrial climate is in the public interest and essential to the economic progress of our State; and
WHEREAS, a favorable industrial climate is defined as:
(1) Fair and equitable treatment in general legislation, judicial determination and administrative regulation,

(3) Equitable taxation which is neither confiscatory nor dis criminatory.
(4) Labor-management relations based on equal responsibility and dedicated to the welfare of the individual employee, and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that henceforth, all proposed legislation relating to or affecting business, industry and agriculture shall be examined in terms of its effect upon the industrial climate of the State and to determine whether such legislation may have any future dis criminating or deterring effect upon the investment of capital and, therefore, economic progress.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

examine their individual discretionary actions and orders which in any way relate to business, industry and agriculture in terms of the effect such action may have upon the industrial climate in Georgia.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor and the heads of the various State depart ments and agencies.

Under the provisions of HR 248, the Speaker appointed the following mem bers as a Committee of Escort on the part of the House:
Messrs. Floyd of Chattooga, McKenna of Bibb and Summers of Crisp.

The Hour of 11:30 a. m. having arrived, the Senate appeared upon the floor of the House and convened in Joint Session for the purpose of hearing a message from the Honorable Richard L. Rouderbush, Commander in Chief of Veterans of Foreign Wars.

The President of the Senate called the Joint Session to order.

The Secretary of the Senate read the Resolution providing for the joint session.

Accompanied by the Committee of Escort, Honorable Richard L. Rouderbush and other distinguished guests appeared upon the floor of the House.

Lieutenant Governor Vandiver presented to the General Assembly, Com mander Rouderbush, who delivered the following address:

When my good friend, and I am sure a good friend of most of you, Jim Floyd, informed me that I was to speak before your dis tinguished body today, I was left in something of a quandry. As the Commander-in-Chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, I have the opportunity to speak before many groups, but certainly I feel this is an extra special occasion.
It would be presumptuous for me to stand here and discuss prob lems that effect only you here in Georgia, for naturally, not being a native, I am not versed on that subject. With that in mind, I propose to use the time you have so generously granted me to discuss the aims and objectives of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and some of the prob lems that face our nation today. I lump these two subjects together, because the aims and objectives of the V.F.W. go hand-in-hand with the security of the United States. This is so because we believe that concern with the activities of our government is one of the duties of good citizenship and good citizenship is one of the necessary ingredients of our form of government.
Mark Twain, great philosopher and wit, once said, "A little citizen ship ought to be taught at the mother's knee and in the nursery. Citi zenship is what makes a republic; monarchies can get along without it. What keeps a republic on its' legs is good citizenship." UNQUOTE
That is exactly why the Veterans of Foreign Wars constantly emphasize the duties and responsibilities of loyal citizens.

MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1958

85

Loyalty is especially important. It means "true or faithful in all allegiance." It is one of the noblest words in the language of all races because it symbolizes each of the sublime religious, ethical and patriotic feelings of man: loyalty to God, loyalty to family, and loyalty to country.
Today, we face a critical time in world history. Black clouds hang on the international horizon, carrying therein the making of storms of titanic force--the full fury of which, if unleased, no man can accu rately forecast. The time has come for some soul-searching. "What can I do to help my country." Or to put it another way: "How can I, indi vidually or collectively, do something to counteract the forces of evil with which my country is confronted?"
The challenge to all citizens is: what can we do to support our country? As individual citizens we must look to our leadership--to men like you of this Georgia legislature. In the main we elect the leaders; therefore, we secure the leadership we deserve. Teddy Roosevelt once said, and I am in full accord: "There can be no cessation on our part to put honest, intelligent and loyal men in positions of trust." UNQUOTE.
This means a full and fearless exercise of our right to vote for the best candidate--the exercise of the secret ballot. Recognizing this necessity, the Veterans of Foreign Wars annually stresses the im portance that all citizens fulfill this important obligation.
We must resolve that: we will vote at all elections; we will inform ourselves on candidates and issues, and will use our greatest influence to see that honest capable officials are elected; we will accept public office when we can serve our community or our country thereby. In this way, and only this way, will we purge our government of graft, corruption, and malfeasance when its ugly head arises.
This brings us to another duty of the citizen--"What is my attitude toward the community in which I live?"
Americans perform more community service than do the citizens and subjects of any other country in the world. This is true because it is inherent in a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, that the people must occupy themselves with social problems that face the community. We of the Veterans of Foreign Wars are indeed proud of the record we have established in this field. Last year our 10,000 posts around the country completed more than 600,000 indi vidual community service projects. I feel confident that most of you sitting here today have felt the effects of some of these projects in your community. Our slogan has long been "service to the veteran and service to the community."
All programs of community service have, in the man, high aims_ in brief: to extend and perfect the means of education; to stimulate church attendance; to improve conditions of labor; to secure better housing and sanitation; to give aid and comfort to the aged, veteran and non-veteran alike, the widows, the bed-ridden, and the orphans; to support civil defense and blood donor programs; and many other great causes--all directed to making the community, and thereby America, a better place in which to live, with the end result that by our actions and deeds the world will know that democracy works. To put, and keep, our own house in order is of top priority in the performance of our duties as loyal Americans.

86

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The Veterans of Foreign Wars believe that such activities make for a better and stronger America. Citizen responsibility is the price for the American free way of life.
As Americans, we should remember that democracy is never an ism, but has always been our way of living, and that we must un remittingly resist those unalterably opposed to it.
For this reason we feel that as a large national organization com prised of one million, three hundred thousand overseas veterans, one of the most effective contributions we can make to the republic is to continue with unabated vigor our fight against Communism and all that it stands for.
This conclusion was reached after careful re-examination of our Communist Russia's past performance in keeping international obli gations and treaty commitments, as well as a re-check of the expressed and implied goals of International Communism as enunciated by the grand masters of the Kremlin through the years.
We wish it were possible to think differently, but cold facts compel a realistic appraisal. However, no group in American life will work harder to relieve International tensions, or years more for a lasting peace than the veterans of our wars--men and women who know what war is. On the other hand, we refuse to be lulled into complacency or rest upon our oars.
We of the Veterans of Foreign Wars propose to do all we can to alert this nation to the dangers of complacency and the threat of Com munism. In this regard, I honestly believe we received the greatest assist in history from Russia when that country announced to the world that it had successfully launched an earth sattelite.
Up until that time, I'm afraid, America was asleep at the switch. Most of our citizens were confident that we surpassed Russia in all fields of defense. Every remark from public officials seemed to indicate that we had little or nothing to worry about. Most of us were primarily concerned with lowering the taxes, and living a better life. Had we remained in this disastrous frame of mind for just a while longer, we now have every reason to believe that all might have been lost in the not too distant future.
All of that has been changed now. The President indicated in his recent budget message to the Congress that adequate national security would now be the number one item on the agenda. Few, if any people --aside from the Communists--will have quarrel with this program. Two years ago there would have been no such agreement for these huge expenditures for defense. The reason being, we were all com placent. It is for this reason that I think we all owe a vote of thanks to Mr. Kruschev and his cohorts. They blew the whistle that put a stop to our idle day dreaming.
Now that we have been forewarned, I sincerely hope that all of our citizens in our country take heed--will guard against any such complacency in the future and will demand that this country continue to exert every effort towards a more advanced and more comprehensive scientific program. No one has ever been able to top the United States yet when we decided to make an all-out effort. I feel confident that no one will in the future if we make this effort.

MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1958

87

We, of the Veterans of Foreign Wars recognize that this is not a problem for the law-makers and defense department officials alone-- but rather a job for all of us. With that in mind I shall ask our state and local leaders to enter into a program with local school officials aimed at raising the standards of scientific courses on the graded and high school level. I feel that there will be many ways in which we can help if school officials will give us an opportunity. I realize that the problem in each community is different and for that reason we are not outlining any set program to cover all schools, but rather will submit an outline of suggested fields in which our Posts can assist local school officials if assistance is needed.
And now in closing, I would like to suggest that in this hazardous period through which we are passing, we must hold fast to our Inter national policies of peace and protection. As a nation, we desire no territory that belongs to others or political control of other peoples. However, there must be no slackening of our efforts to maintain a strong defense, of fulfilling all our international commitments, or of continuing to try to build with justice and honor an unpassable road block to an atomic or hydrogen war.
I ask that all our people spend more time with public affairs, a little more time to alert others to the danger of complacency, a little more time to help kindle the fires of patriotism and religion in the hearts of our brother man. If it is not done in high places and low-- then we may well lose all that our fathers, and our fathers' fathers fought so hard for.

The hours of 12:00 o'clock noon, having arrived under the provisions of HR 266, adopted by the House and Senate on January 16, 1958, the Senate being already upon the floor of the House, the General Assembly convened in Joint Session for the purpose of caucusing and electing (1) a member of the State Highway Board from the Northern Highway District to succeed Honorable John E. Quillian, for a full term of six years, ending on February 8, 1958; (2) a member of the State Highway Board from the Central Highway District for the unexpired term of Honorable Roger H. Lawson, ending February 8, 1960.

The President of the Senate again called the Joint Session to order.

The Secretary of the Senate read the Resolution providing for the Joint Session.

The following Resolutions of the House were read and adopted:

HR 305. By Messrs. Helms of Atkinson, Kennedy of Turner, Miller of Twiggs, Bodenhamer of Tift and others:
A RESOLUTION
Censuring the President for calling out military forces to enforce integration of the races at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.
WHEREAS, on September 24, 1957, by arbitrary and illegal action unprecedented in the annals of history, the President of the United States federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent airborne storm troopers of the United States Army into a sovereign state to enforce integration of the races at bayonet point in the Central High School of Little Rock, Arkansas, contrary to the President's positive statement never to use troops in enforcing integration; and
WHEREAS, in so doing, the President sacrificed the honesty and integrity of our highest executive office on an altar of political ex pediency to appease the NAACP and other radical, communist-sympa thizing organizations; and
WHEREAS, such action was illegal, unconstitutional and void, as held by Attorney General Eugene Cook in official opinion to the Gov ernor under date of October 17, 1957, in that:
(a) It was in direct violation of the Constitution, Art. IV, Sec. 4, declaring that the United States can intervene in state affairs only upon application of the executive or Legislature thereof;
(b) It was in violation of the "Posse Comitatus Act," 18 U.S.C.A., 1385.
(c) It was in violation of other provisions of law limiting the use of troops to enforcing "laws of the land", when in truth and fact, the decision of the Supreme Court sought to be enforced was not the "law of the land", but only the "law of the Case", as held by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in the case of Indiviglio v. U. S., 26 L. W. 2227 (October 31, 1957).
(d) It was contrary to federal statutes and established prin ciples of constitutional law that military forces should not be used in enforcing court decrees until civil authorities had been frus trated in their attempt to do so, when in fact no U. S. Marshall

TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1958

107

had ever sought to enforce federal court decrees requiring integra tion in the Central High School.
NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved By The House of Repre sentatives, the Senate concurring, That this General Assembly does hereby censure the President of the United States, and declares its most emphatic disapproval for this deliberate and palpable executive encroachment of the Constitution and laws.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this Resolution be dispatched forthwith to the White House and to each member of the Georgia delegation to Congress.

HR 306. By Mr. Nilan of Muscogee:
A RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the NAACP filed suit in the Atlanta Division of the United States Federal Court on January 11, 1958, for the purpose of enlisting federal judicial sanction to ending traditional racial separa tion in educational institutions of the great Southern City of Atlanta; and
WHEREAS, the Chief Executive of Atlanta has often reminded us of his intense pride in having had service in Georgia's General As sembly, and has repeatedly generously proffered us his personal and official offices; and
WHEREAS, it is the studied view of this sovereign deliberative body that the aforesaid litigation is an inept machination inspired, con cocted, promoted and introduced by a coalition of self-seeking third parties with utter disregard for any interest favorable to either of the races principally concerned;
NOW, THEREFORE, we take this means to express to the Honor able William B. Hartsfield, Mayor of the City of Atlanta, our unanimous desire that he forthwith joint Atlanta's daily newspapers in their advice to the NAACP that it withdraw the subject petition, which is, in our considered opinion, but another outside interference in the now orderly, peaceable and mutually satisfactory association between the major minority of America, the Southern white people, and the major minority of the South, the Southern colored people.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to Mayor William B. Hartsfield, City Hall, Atlanta, Georgia.
HR 307. By Mr. Lanier of Candler:
A RESOLUTION
Expressing regret at the passing of Honorable F. H. Sills; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, Honorable F. H. Sills, a former member of the House of Representatives, passed away in December of 1957, and
WHEREAS, he was one of the persons responsible for the creation of Candler County, and was a respected and beloved member of the General Assembly for ten years, and

108

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, he was a Minister of the Gospel and also worked as a Field Representative with the Georgia Citizens Council, and
WHEREAS, he has served the people of his community and his State for many long years and was an outstanding leader in the affairs of his locality.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House is hereby instructed to transmit a suitable copy of this Resolution to his family.

HR 308. By Mr. Odom of Camden:
A RESOLUTION
Inviting the Honorable Herman E. Talmadge to address a joint session of the General Assembly of Georgia, and
WHEREAS, the name Talmadge is sononimous with our fine tradition and Southern way of life, and;
WHEREAS, during a six year period as our Chief Executive, he distinguished himself as one of Georgia's greatest leaders and,
WHEREAS, his inspirational messages have brought hope and courage to the people of the entire South, and;
WHEREAS, this sovereign governing body can use inspiration of a quality as produced by him;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Repre sentatives, the Senate concurring, to invite Senator Herman E. Tal madge to address this august body at a time to be designated by him;
IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be furnished the Honorable Herman E. Talmadge in a most expeditious manner.

HR 309. By Mr. Birdsong of Troup:
A RESOLUTION
Providing for Honorary Pages; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, many school children of this State are anxious to serve as Pages in the House and Senate, and it is impossible for all children to act as Pages, and,
WHEREAS, it is highly desirable that our youth be encouraged to visit the Capitol and observe the deliberations of the General As sembly and the functions of other State Departments, and that they be accorded some recognition thereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GEORGIA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is hereby created the position of "Honorary Page". Such Page shall be issued a certificate

The certifi cate should provide the proper space for the signature of said member of the General Assembly. The funds necessary to carry out the pro visions of this Resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the legislative branch of the government.

A RESOLUTION
A Resolution creating the Insurance Laws Revision Committee; and for other purposes.

110

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, the present insurance laws of Georgia are incomplete and in many respects contradictory, over-lapping, ambiguous and of doubtful meaning, and some of such laws are obsolete and other such laws are not adapted to the present insurance demands and to the pres ent method of conducting the business of insurance; and
WHEREAS, there are loopholes in the present laws that permit practices which could be harmful to the citizens of this State who pur chase insurance; and
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court of the United States has de termined that the business of insurance as conducted in this country is interstate commerce and, therefore, potentially subject to regulation by the Congress of the United States; and
WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States by the enactment of Public Law 15 (1945) has declared that the business of insurance shall be subject to regulation by the Congress to the extent that such business is not regulated by State law; and
WHEREAS, certain Federal agencies, particularly the Federal Trades Commission, are constantly seeking to assert their jurisdiction over the business of insurance; and
WHEREAS, many of the States of the United States are now re writing and re-codifying their respective insurance laws and enacting new statutes to the end that the regulation of the insurance industry and the tax revenue therefrom may be retained by the several states; and
WHEREAS, the business of insurance is highly technical and complicated in nature and the re-writing of the insurance laws of this State would be a monumental task which could best be performed by experts in this field;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA THAT THERE IS HEREBY CREATED THE INSURANCE Laws Revision Committee. The Committee shall be composed of twelve (12) members as follows:
(a) The Comptroller General as Insurance Commissioner, who shall be Chairman;
(b) The Attorney General;

The members of the Committee from the General Assembly shall receive the compensation, per d; em, expenses, and allowances authorized for members of Interim Legislative Committees. The members of the Committee to be designated by the Governor shall receive $15.00 per diem for each day spent in the performance of the duties provided herein.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A RESOLUTION
Relative to restoring tobacco acreage allotments to the 1956 level; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, as a result of the twenty (20) per cent reduction of tobacco acreage effective in 1957, farmers have suffered and are still suffering a further reduction in purchasing power; and
WHEREAS, as a further result of the recent acreage reduction many farmers are unable to continue growing their small allotted tobacco acreage profitably and it has become necessary that they aban don their farm operations altogether; and
WHEREAS, we know it to be a fact that merchants, businessmen, farmers and the general economy of the entire tobacco belt are suffer ing the adverse effects of the recent acreage allotment reduction; and
WHEREAS, the economic depression the farmers are experiencing because of the prize squeeze they are in will eventually affect the over all national economy; and
WHEREAS, if the farmers are allowed to prosper the over-all economy of our nation will greatly improve; and
WHEREAS, the tillers of the soil constitute the very bed-rock of our democracy and the farm families are our greatest bulwark against Communism, and history records them as being the first to resist tyranny; and
WHEREAS, among farm families of energetic, patriotic boys and girls reared on the farm close to nature juvenile delinquency is seldom heard of; and
WHEREAS, these farm-reared children are a real contribution to our population and are well worth the cost of a healthy farm program; and
WHEREAS, history records that any nation which destroyed its farm families by forcing the people from the rural areas into over crowded urban areas where juvenile delinquency runs rampant, crime breeds and general unrest prevails shall be destroyed also; and
WHEREAS, the condition of the American farmers today con stitutes a national emergency; while the country as a whole has been passing through a 10-year cycle of unprecedented inflation and in creased income, the American farmers and small businessmen have re ceived less and less income above the cost of operations; and
WHEREAS, the steady decrease in farm population and the steady decline in the number of operating farms are the most eloquent wit nesses to the plight of American agriculture; and
WHEREAS, it is a matter of general knowledge that cigarettetype tobacco imports as well as other agricultural products are steadily increasing and our domestic demands and use of cigarette tobacco is steadily increasing; and
WHEREAS, reduced acreage of tobacco in the U.S.A. is encour aging increased planting of tobacco on foreign soils to the extent that the U.S.A. has dropped from ninety (90) per cent of world production

THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1958

197

of tobacco to less than fifty (50) per cent of world grown tobacco at this time; and
WHEREAS, increased tobacco acreage is absolutely necessary to the tobacco farmer's survival as increased production will reduce the cost of production, thereby regaining and maintaining our foreign markets of tobacco; and
WHEREAS, the program initiated reducing the support price of undesirable varieties of tobacco will cure about ninety (90) per cent of the tobacco industry ills; this program along with the tobacco acre age going into the soil bank acreage reserve will reduce tobacco pro duction sufficiently and in our opinion to a dangerously low level as the 1957 production is % less than the 1956 production. A three-year supply on hand is nothing to be alarmed about as a 2% year supply is necessary for tobacco to have ample time to mellow for manufacture.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the Georgia delegation in the U. S. Congress and all other officials be requested to initiate the necessary steps to restore the twenty (20) per cent reduction in tobacco acreage allotments, thereby increasing our 1958 tobacco allotment, which re quires a twenty-five (25) per cent increase in our 1957 tobacco acreage allotments, to restore the tobacco acreage allotments to the 1956 level.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of State trans mit a copy of this Resolution to each member of the Georgia Delegation in Congress and to the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States.

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, MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTA TIVES AND MY FELLOW GEORGIANS:
We are now meeting together for the last assemblage of your honorable body during this administration unless an extraordinary session is called.
As we enter the last year of the administration we can claim, with satisfaction, that we have left a solid record of progress behind us.
And in this last year we are confident that we can maintain and accelerate the general forward progress which has been made in Georgia during the last three years.
State services have been carried out at the highest standard pos sible.
Important new improvements have been made in various divisions of our government which have stimulated our growth and brought the best possible state services of all kinds to all our citizens.
In the near future we shall carry out new projects which mean much to the benefit of our people in the future.
Included in these proposals are the nuclear energy atomic research project at Georgia Tech and the mighty science center under construc tion at the University of Georgia.
With both our agricultural and industrial economies expanding, we must continue to fulfill our constitutional responsibilities of pro viding education, health, welfare, highways, and other essential services to the people of Georgia at the highest possible state of efficiency.
GREAT PROGRESS MADE
With the help and cooperation of the members of this General

MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1958

239

Assembly and with the solid support of the masses of our people, we have made unprecedented progress in all fields of endeavor.
Let us continue to work together in harmony so that we can bring even more progress in the future months remaining in this administra tion.
Our financial condition is sound and Georgia is both sovereign and solvent.
There is a comfortable reserve of about $31,000,000 in our treasury as an operating surplus.
This substantial reserve will not be dissipated, but will be kept to meet possible emergencies.
Every possible economy must be exercised in our future operations.
As a prudent administration we must not over-look good, sound business practices which may require some capital outlay to bring future benefits.
I do not advocate any additional or new taxes for the remainder of this term of office, nor do I believe that the demands upon the state government will permit a reduction in any existing revenue lav/s.
As I have said to you before, our most efficient policy at the present time is to "hold the line".
NEEDS OUTLINED
We know that in the coming fiscal year, 1958-1959, we must pro vide 7 to 9 million dollars additional to carry forward the Minimum Foundation Program.
We know further that increased federal aid coming to the Highway Department during the present fiscal year require approximately $5% million dollars in additional state matching money.
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 above the total now being provided for this purpose.
We must also consider the fact that two more increments of rural road bonds, one of which has been sold and the other to be sold during this calendar year, 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 million dollars in each succeeding fiscal year over the preceding one.
Provision of $500,000.00 for each of two years has been provided as the initial outlay to finance the construction of improvements at the school for mentally defective children.
We know, too, that if we continue to extend the program for de pendent children it will cost $400,000 each fiscal year.
We realize fully that as long as the Federal government appropri-

240

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

ates money for construction of Hill Burton Hospitals with a share of the funds being provided by local communities, that Georgia must pro vide her proper share of matching funds.
There is the necessity for making available extra money to the Highway Patrol for the purpose of providing funds for the payment of the longevity pay for the personnel of the department as previously recommended to you.
We also have the problem of whether or not to inaugurate the new program for aid to indigent sick. It is estimated this will cost an average of $2 million dollars the first year with a progressive increase each year thereafter.
You can determine from these figures that great care must be exercised during the next year in the administration of the budget if we are to carry on essential services for the people.

GROWTH REQUIRES GROWTH
All of the 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.
The per capita tax rate in Georgia is still substantially lower than her sister states with comparable populations and resources.
We are not only in line with other states in the services rendered to our people, but are substantially ahead of them in many fields.
The responsibility of cost for supporting the state government is now spread fairly among all our people by what are considered fair and equitable tax laws.

BUDGET AND FISCAL

After committee studies and hearings in both branches, the General Assembly in its 1956 session adopted a new appropriations bill which has been in operation now for only one year and six months.

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

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

Section 48 of the Acts of 1956 as amended by Acts of 1957 com monly referred to as the "Contingent Sections" of the budget, appro priates another $77% million dollars. This is being financed partially at the present time to the extent of $31,881,806.96.

Budget allocations from July 1st, 1957, through January 10th, 1958, under Section 48 of the appropriations act is as follows:

ALL INCOME APPROPRIATED
Bearing in mind that the current total rate of expenditures is at the $316% million dollar level annually, we find that this figure is 1% million dollars more than the total State income of $315% million dollars collected during the preceding fiscal year.
Every dime of present and prospective income is being appropri ated under the present appropriations act--either in the main section of the Act or in the Contingent Section.
Estimates of both the State Auditor and State Revenue Commis sioner place anticipated revenue for the current fiscal year at $316 million dollars, with a slight chance of a small increase.
We have an operating surplus of $31 million dollars, slightly more than a one-months requirement of money to meet the present budget.
The surplus must be conserved to carry on the Minimum Founda tion Program, match new Federal highway aid, provide for normal increases in the welfare benefits and such other vital needs as may arise during the coming year.

CONTINGENT SECTION

There is provided in the contingent section of the appropriations act, $45% million dollars which has not yet been financed. The amounts to be financed are:

Education ______.._____________.___________________________.._..._............_.$28,955,015.06

Highway ___.___._______________.___....._......____,,.......................... 14,116,250.00

Welfare _.,,___

6,425,000.00

All others ______________________________________________________________________ 4,750,477.18

I believe you will agree with me that there is little likelihood that the revenue will increase in sufficient amount to come anywhere near the balance of the appropriations authorized by you in the Contingent Section.

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 appropriations, as contained in the 1956 appropriations act, as amended by the 1957 Act.

Any change here would result in one or another favored depart ment 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.

242

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Passage of a new appropriations bill at this time would upset the present financial structure of the State and commitments made under it.
This being the case, I have no alternative hut to recommend to you that you allow the present Appropriations Act to continue in force and effect as authorized by the State Constitution for the next fiscal year.
As Governor of this State I have followed strictly the provisions of our Constitution which separates our government into three divisions --the Legislative, the Judicial and the Executive.
Let me assure you that I have, at no time, endeavored to encroach upon the functions of the Legislative or Judicial Divisions during the time I have served as Head of the Executive Department.
We all know that each branch must always be free to act with equal dignity and authority in carrying out the functions designated to it by our fundamental laws.
Following this concept of government by the people, which was handed down by the founding fathers, we have achieved here in Georgia a higher degree of local self-government than can be found in any other state in this Union.
The duties of the Governor are limited and restricted by the Con stitution and a Governor's resolute leadership under the provisions of the Constitution forms a strong rampart to protect the rights of the people.
The strong leadership by the office of the Chief Executive is an indisperisible safeguard if we are to insure a continuation of separate schools and colleges in our State, if we are to preserve law and order, and if we are to maintain domestic peace and tranquility.
It is with complete confidence that I feel that the members of this General Assembly and the masses of the people of Georgia share my resolve in this respect.

Senator Hawes of the 30th moved that the Joint Session of the General Assembly be now dissolved, and the motion prevailed.

The President of the Senate announced the Joint Session dissolved.

The Speaker Pro Tempore called the House to order.

Mr. Hawkins of Screven moved that the House do now adjourn until 10:00 o'clock, a.m., tomorrow morning, the motion prevailed, and HB 252 went over
until that time under the order of unfinished business.

The Speaker Pro Tempore announced the House adjourned until 10:00 o'clock, tomorrow morning.

The Committee has found that the Juvenile Courts are doing a good job, but that they do not have the proper or full jurisdiction that they should have in such matters as adequately handling juveniles in order to completely rehabilitate and make them again useful, intelligent members of society. This statement is not aimed at the Juvenile Courts, for it is the opinion of the Committee that the judges are doing very conscientious work and handling a tedious job, but because they have inadequate facilities and lack of authority they are unable to do what might be termed a "package job" to correct the cause of delinquency. To be more specific, the Juvenile Courts control the child, but in the case of a broken home because of death, divorce or just simple separa tion, the Juvenile Court Judge is absolutely in a hopeless position insofar as having any jurisdiction over the parents, guardians, or custodians of the children. He may punish the child, and even though in many in stances the child is not to blame, he has no authority to reach the person who might aid the child along a normal path of life To give as an example without going into detail, we have the problem of support of the children and custody of the children. In some instances the money is not being spent on the children and they are being neglected, and the party or parties contributing to children have no control over use of the money when it should be being spent for proper food, proper medical and dental care and proper housing. We do not mean that they should have better housing and medical care than their parents could have provided had they stayed together. We only mean that they should have things that they were accustomed to under their parents' income when they were together. In many instances the person that has custody of the child is spending the money for personal use and completely abandoning the child, and while the custodian goes practically free, the child is then classed as a delinquent or a neglect child. We think that this is a problem that needs more study and should be dealt with by a future committee. That is, the Committ.ee feels that a family court plan should be studied along with the committee the House, the Senate, the Georgia Bar Association and the Superior Court Judges of Georgia.
The Committee in its study finds that the Juvenile Courts are handling two classifications of cases which are turned over to them or brought into their Court by officers of the said Court. These two classifications are (1) Children who are juvenile delinquents; and (2) the other which are neglected children who are forced onto the Court, but should not by any means be classified as a delinquent by anyone.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1958

277

This is not in criticism of the Courts but is to make it clear to the members of this Body that it is deemed advisable to take action to classify the two classes that are brought into the juvenile courts through
out the State.
There is another problem that was brought to the attention of the Committee, and that is minor traffic offenders being brought into Court and termed as juvenile delinquents for such offenses as minor speeding, failure to make the right turn, running a stop sign, or running a stop light. We do not mean such offenses as drunken driving by juveniles or excess rates of speed or speeding throughout cities or counties. These people are most certainly delinquent, but it is very severe to class juveniles as delinquents when they do something that would bring only a reasonable fine for an adult.
We will now deal with the matter of detention homes for the State of Georgia. It is the unanimous opinion of this Committee that Georgia must take some immediate steps for the construction of the minimum requirement of detention homes to be placed in areas of our State where there are no facilities available for the placement and detention of juveniles. There are certain counties that already have facilities, namely Chatham, Fulton, Cobb, Muscogee and Bibb counties, and bond issues have been authorized for homes to be built in Richmond and DeKalb counties.
The Committee finds that there are no other places available for the detention of children and to confine children for detention other than in our county and city jails. Without question no child should be placed in a jail, where there are hardened criminals, dope addicts, prosti tutes, and degenerates. This certainly would affect any child who came into contact with such people as named above or other persons of this general type. This matter has been of great concern to every jailer, sheriff, and chief of police who has to handle children. The Committee might say that if a child is a very confirmed juvenile delinquent, these people would just aid to educate him further on the road to crime. When juveniles who have never been in trouble are exposed to people of such nature as outlined above, it would certainly be a detriment to their future development, not to speak of the conditions and propositions such children would be exposed to when thrown together in jails with such a criminal element. Without exception, all authorities who have to house and control juveniles consider the placement of juveniles with people such as above to be the biggest problem concerned with juvenile delinquency.
It is in the furtherance of their criminal activity that the average jail that was built in Georgia does not have separate facilities other than for men and women, and the cost of each county building a deten tion home or adding to the jail to separate the children from the adult prisoners would not be feasible for two reasons, which are: (1) the aver age county would not have a large number of delinquent children to be placed in custody; and (2) With the large population of young children requiring school facilities, practically every county in Georgia has ex hausted its bond money for school purchases and with the future enroll ment going up there is an even more severe problem of the school angle facing them today.
The Committee recommends that we stablish the minimum require ment of detention homes in areas that are not being served and that

278

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the location of such homes be based on (1) geographical accessibility; (2) medical and health facilities to be available to children, not only plain medical attention, but psychological and psychiatric examinations available for the mentally disturbed juvenile delinquent, and that where it is possible to take advantage of medical health centers, state institu tions, and places were psychological and psychiatric work is being done and is available.
Part II
The Committee has made a very thorough and investigation of the probation system of juveniles, and after a long and intensive con ference with the Superior Court Judges Committee of the Superior Court Judges Association, the Committee finds that the Judges of the Superior Court, who by virtue of their office are well-qualified judicial officers, are called on to act as juvenile judges by law of Georgia where there is no juvenile court in their judicial circuit. The average case of a juvenile delinquent that comes before a Superior Court Judge of Georgia is when the child is brought before the Judge with the officer or complaining parties, and the complaining parties make their statement relative to the case and the crime committed by the child. There is no pre-investigation of the crime; there is no pre-investigation of the child's background, as to his home life, mental condition, or the causes of the child becoming delinquent. You might say the judge has to more or less try them "by ear". Then the judge is faced with the problem of making a judicial decision which in most cases will affect the future of the child without having the advantage of all the facts and circumstances laid before the judge. Not only is this unfair to the child, but it is placing on the Superior Court Judges of this State a burden that is causing the Judges more concern and anxiety, for no person however capable is desirous of being on a case of a child without having a complete and comprehensive report of all phases of such a case.
The Committee recommends that juvenile probation officers be created or that additional members be added to our present adult proba tion staff so that such additional officers can handle adults and juveniles. Due to the excellent work of the adult probation board, the Committee recommends that these details be worked out by their supervisor, Honor able Hugh Carney, Chairman of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. That such probation officers be selected with the recommendation of the Superior Court Judges or that the judges be given the privilege of re jecting anyone appointed as a probation officer who is not suitable, in the judge's opinion.
The Committee recommends that the detention homes be staffed with a minimum of people so as to conform with the economy of this State. We recommend that preferably a mature man and his wife be in each home and that a mature colored woman serve in a dual capacity as matron for the colored children and as a cook. We recommend that the State erect a minimum of five (5) such homes to be located in areas that would be to the best interests of the State; that such persons in the home be selected or appointed by the judges who have jurisdiction over the juveniles in the county in which the homes will be placed.
The Committee at this time wants to express their deep appreciation to the Honorable Hugh Carney, Chairman of the State Board of Par dons and Paroles, for his unselfish intelligence and foresight which he has shown in the study of this problem and the aid and assistance at

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1958

279

all times that he has given to this Committee, for this work on the part of Mr. Carney has been over and beyond the call of duty. We also would like to compliment him on his deep concern for the handling of juveniles in the State of Georgia.

A RESOLUTION
Creating a Committee to make a study relative to the operation of boats on the inland lakes, rivers and waterways of Georgia; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, during the past several years there has been a tre mendous increase in the use and operation of boats on the inland waters of the State of Georgia; and
WHEREAS, many serious accidents involving personal injury and property damage have been caused by the improper operation of such boats; and
WHEREAS, such accidents have been caused by many factors in cluding the overloading of such boats, the use of unseaworthy boats, the operation of boats by juveniles and untrained persons, and the reck less and hazardous operation of such boats; and
WHEREAS, the operation of such boats if not properly controlled and regulated is dangerous to the occupants thereof and others using our inland waters, including our lakes and rivers; and
WHEREAS, the reckless, imprudent, noisy and uncontrolled opera tion of such boats has given rise to frequent and serious conflicts be tween the interests of cottage owners, boat operators, bathers, fisher men and others using our inland waters; and

WHEREAS, the Federal excise tax upon the transportation of passengers and freight was adopted in 1942 as a wartime tax to dis courage the movement of civilian passengers and freight during World War II; and
WHEREAS, today, twelve years after the cessation of hostilities, there continues a ten per cent levy on the transportation of passengers and a three per cent levy on the transportation of property, which taxes while collected by the common carrier of transportation by rail, by highway, by water and in the air, are imposed upon and collected from the users of such transportation; and,

On the passage of the Bill, as amended, the ayes were 155, nays 1.

The Bill, having received the requisite constitutional majority, was passed, as amended.

Pursuant to Joint Resolution adopted by the House and Senate, the Senate appeared upon the floor of the House and the Joint Session convened for the purpose of hearing a message from Senator Herman E. Talmadge, was called to order by the President of the Senate.

The Secretary of the Senate read the Resolution providing for the Joint Session.
Accompanied by Governor Griffin, the Committee of Escort, and other distinguished guests, Senator Herman E. Talmadge appeared upon the floor of the House.
Lieutenant Governor Vandiver, before recognizing Governor Marvin Grif fin, prefaced his remarks as follows:
Before Governor Griffin introduces our distinguished speaker, the chair would like to make a brief observation or two.
Speaking as one who served as campaign manager for our hon ored guest in his first State race, I wish to say that the stature he has achieved as a leader of the South and of conservative thought and opinion throughout the nation has justified completely the fond est hopes of all of us who are his friends.
It was an honor for me to have served in his progressive and constructive administration as adjutant general.
We appreciate the fact that he is taking time out from his busy duties to visit with us today.
We welcome you, sir, for you have proved yourself to be a stal wart defender of constitutional liberties and a true champion of the people.
I would like to ask his excellency, the distinguished Governor of Georgia, Honorable Marvin Griffin, to present our distinguished guest to this joint session of the General Assembly of Georgia. Gov ernor Griffin.
Governor Marvin Griffin, in presenting Senator Herman E. Talmadge to the General Assembly of Georgia, stated:
It is a great pleasure, indeed, for me to appear before you today to present to you a speaker who needs no introduction to Georgia cit izens, Honorable Herman Talmadge, Junior United States Senator from this state.
For many years I have known him well and have enjoyed the close association between us both in private and public life.

364

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

It was my pleasure to serve in his administration as Lieutenant Governor when he made a record of progress as Chief Executive that will go down in the annals of the state for his many accomplish ments for the advancement and welfare of the masses of people of Georgia.
Since he was elected to the United States Senate by the unprece dented County Unit vote of all the 159 counties, it is safe to say that he stands at the top in the hearts and minds of his fellow cit izens who thus recognized his public record and the great executive ability he possesses.
During these dangerous and perilous times in the history of this country, it is comforting to know that we have as one of our Sena tors in Washington a man who is willing to cooperate with his fel low Senator and the members of the Georgia delegation in the House of Representatives in all moves designed for the benefit and protec tion of the citizens of Georgia in fighting for state's rights and the decentralization of power.
We know that such a man will have numerous opportunities in the near future to appear on the firing line in the highest delibera tive body in the world and fight for the preservation of the traditional way of life we have enjoyed in our state and for the protection of the State's Rights doctrine in all its many phases.
It is a genuine pleasure for me, today, to present to you one of Georgia's foremost and most beloved sons--the Honorable United States Senator Herman Talmadge.

Senator Herman Talmadge delivered the following address:
GOVERNOR GRIFFIN, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR VANDIVER, SPEAKER MOATE, MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA AND MY FRIENDS:
It is a heart warming experience for me to be back here this morning with you members of the General Assembly and other friends.
It's good to be in Georgia.
There are few other places that stimulate for me as many fond memories as does this hallowed chamber.
Seeing old friends here recalls to mind the happy experiences which we have shared together in years' past.
My first words must be to acknowledge the generosity of your kind and courteous invitation to address you again this year.
I think it is but fair to tell you that any time you invite me I will be here since I consider an invitation from the sovereign Gen eral Assembly of the State of Georgia a command which I cannot refuse.
And nowhere, except in my own house and at my own fire side, do I feel more at home than here on this rostrum speaking to men that I know, speaking to men that I respect, speaking to men whose friendship that I cherish and speaking to men whom I honor as true Georgians and real Americans.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1958

365

To Governor Marvin Griffin, I extend cordial greeting and my respects for his unwavering stand in defense of Georgia's institu tions.
To Lieutenant Governor Ernest Vandiver, I extend similar cor dial greeting and respects for his consistent, firm and resolute stand to maintain the sovereignty of the States.
To Speaker Moate, to members of the General Assembly, to the Attorney General and his legal staff, to all of the elective and ap pointive state and local officials, to the press of the State, to the radio, to the television and to the great and overwhelming masses of the people of the State of Georgia, I salute you. I salute you for your resolution in being ready at all times to resist at all costs any attacks that may be hurled against our homes, our families and our children.
Last year, when I spoke to you, my service in the Senate had just begun.
Frankly, I do not mind telling you, that I was a little bit home sick when I went to Washington.
I said to you then that whenever any of you were in Washington that you had better not miss coming by to see us and visiting with me, my staff and my family--making my office while you are in Washington, your office and making my home while you are in Washington, your home.
I renew that invitation today.
Your visits have made it a lot easier for me to be away from home and to carry on my duties as I would wish to do and that you would have me to do.
Being in frequent touch with the sentiment of the people back home is vitally necessary to any Senator or Congressman who would maintain a proper perspective in Washington's hectic and chaotic atmosphere.
Let me remind you, and let me remind the people of Georgia, though Herman Talmadge is in Washington in attendance upon the Senate, that he is as near to you as your mailbox or your telephone.
I would be amiss if I did not tell you how pleasant has been my service with the members of the Georgia delegation in Congress.
They form a great team.
I am proud to be one of its members.
I take this occasion to pay each and every member of the Georgia delegation in the House the highest tribute for their long and ef fective service to the people of Georgia and to thank them for their valuable help and cooperation they have extended me in my initial year's service as a freshman Senator.
No words can adequately describe my feeling of gratitude for the wise advice and helpful counsel given me by my distinguished senior colleague, Senator Richard B. Russell.

366

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Under his sagacious leadership the South has been spared many iniquities--iniquities which would have been forced upon us had it not been for his statesmanship and resourcefulness in the leadership of many gallant fights which have turned back the tide. This lead ership is an inspiration for all who love their country. It is with out reservation that I say to you I am honored to be fighting at his side and under his able direction.
At this time, I feel that I must recall the rewarding association which all of us on the Georgia delegation had with one of its mem bers, Judge Henderson Lanham, of the seventh district, who has passed from among us.
Judge Lanham, who won his spurs as a champion of the people in this very hall was one of the nation's best Congressmen. He was devoted to his people, and significantly, was going to attend a public meeting when a tragic and untimely accident ended his life. My memory is warm for him, just as are the memories of his constitu ents whom he served so well. All of us miss him very much.

Gentlemen of the General Assembly, never before in the annals of this Country, have we seen a time like this in our nation's history.
It is a time of frustration, a time of uncertainty, a time of anger and a time when there is a growing lack of confidence.
It is a time of danger, both from within and from without.
This situation has been caused in varying degrees by a lack of leadership, by a refusal to adhere to constitutional processes, by the lag in our defenses despite the billions we have spent, by the unconstitutional armed invasion of a sovereign State, by the present decline in our economy, by the farm depression and by a host of other factors.
It was on October 4th that Soviet Russia, a nation considered backward and a third-rate power twenty-five years ago, launched a missile containing in its head a satellite which was placed in an orbit around this earth at a speed of eighteen thousand miles per hour.
That accomplishment shocked the world.
It told the American people that we have been asleep.
It told the American people that many of our leaders have been more interested in selfish political considerations than they have been in defending the country.
Even though past failures and short comings in maintaining our defenses must be laid at the doors of both political parties, these failures and short comings are not in any instance that I know of the fault of Congress.
Congress consistently has been ahead of the executive in recog nizing and acting to meet the peril to our country. Our trouble has been purely and simply the result of maladministration, lack of lead ership and, indeed, even indifference on the part of the executive

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1958

367

branch. In no instance has Congress failed to heed the requests and recommendations of the executive in any major defense area.
Congress can appropriate money and can make the laws but the major responsibility must be fulfilled by the executive and this it has not done.
The sad truth is that our defense effort has become mired in its own sprawling bureaucracy.
Senator Russell, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Com mittee, has moved promptly.
Prior to the session of Congress he designated a Special Pre paredness Sub-Committee, under the leadership of the resourceful Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, of Texas, to inquire into the state of our defenses.
What that Committee has found is alarming, indeed. The find ings have demonstrated that the Congress must step in to insure the safety and security of this nation.
Let us examine for a moment some of the testimony which this nation's top scientists and top military men gave to the Johnson Com mittee.
General James B. Gavin, chief of Army Research and Develop ment, swore that the Army could have put up a satellite a year or more ahead of the Russians. That they had the missile to do the job--the Jupiter C. Further that request after request was made for permission to put up an American satellite, the first request as early as the Spring of 1956. But that all of these requests were denied. Instead of approving Army's Project "Orbiter," the respon sibility was assigned to the Navy for a new and separate Project "Vanguard," in spite of the fact that the Navy then had no missile in being or in prospect to raise the satellite.
This faulty decision, of which General Gavin spoke, resulted in an immense loss of prestige to this nation at a crucial time in World history.
It is no wonder then that he retired from the Army in apparent disgust with the assertion that he could do more for the Army speak ing for it as a free and unfettered citizen than he could do in uni form.
Witness after witness cited other short-sighted and disastrous mistakes which have been costly beyond measure to the defense pos ture of this Country. And to cap the climax, the outspoken, widely respected and admired General Curtis E. LeMay, Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force and former Chief of the Strategic Air Command, had some most interesting testimony for the Johnson committee. He said that the mighty Strategic Air Command bombers were ground ed for five weeks in mid-1957 because of a failure of the Budget Bureau to provide funds for gasoline.
I ask you, in the name of reason and in the name of common sense, what kind of leadership do we have which squanders mil lions of dollars on an arrogant illegal and unconstitutional air-

368

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

borne invasion of the sovereign State of Arkansas, yet, does not have one red cent to spend for gasoline to power our mighty bombers?
What kind of leadership do we have which takes such drastic measures against our own people at a time when arrogant dictators of a Godless power are brandishing their mighty weapons and threatening to blow every one of us off the face of the earth?
There have been a series of reports on the state of our defenses which have been equally as alarming as the testimony before the Johnson committee.
Some months ago, the President appointed a distinguished Com mittee of eminent and qualified Americans to study our defenses and to make a report to the National Security Council.
This report, based upon America's long-range prospects, found our position to be "one of cataclysmic peril."
That report has been suppressed by the White House but a few of its details have leaked out to the press.
Other reports such as the Rockefeller Report and the topsecret "Johns Hopkins Report" are startling in their revelations. Summing up they say the position of our Country is "deteriorating" and that "time is running against us."
These are the dismal facts which confronted Senators and mem bers of Congress as they returned to Washington on January 7th, this year.
The Soviets have a disturbing lead over us in other areas:
They have almost as many Army divisions as all of the nations of the free world combined and they are highly mechanized.
Soviet submarines now number 600 or more while we have only 110.
They have hundreds of long-range bombers.
They are expected to have an intercontinental ballistic missile by July of this year.
Top experts, now conducting secret studies for the Army, say that Russia has a force in being capable of "throwing several hundred atomic bombers and perhaps 50 or more submarines" with missilelaunching equipment at us in a surprise attack. They "would be more than adequate to kill 20 or 30 million people in this Country," it is said, and knock out "more than 10 per cent of our economy--per haps 20 per cent."
Soviet Russia with its avowed dedication to conquer the world is not building this great military force as a defensive establishment.

The Budget proposed by the President to meet this grave situ ation contains $4 billion dollars in additional funds for defense over

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1958

369

fiscal 1957. Most of this increase will be spent on missiles and for the maintenance and superiority of the Strategic Air Command.
Out of the highest peacetime budget ever submitted to Congress-- $73.9 billions of dollars--the President asked for $39.8 billions for the Defense Department.
If this monstrous amount of money proposed for defense is ex pended prudently, we will have nothing to fear.
Even more funds can be found for needed weapons within the Defense Department itself by eliminating appalling waste and need less duplication of effort.
The overall budget proposed by the President is faulty in several respects.
It seeks to make cuts where reductions are undesirable.
It seeks to make increases in non-defense spending where in creases are undesirable.
Th proposed budget would further cripple the farmers of this nation; it would double interest rates on RE A loans; it would leave our farmers to shift for themselves in case of disaster; it would bring an end to support for vocational education by 1960; it would reduce assistance for our old people, our dependent children, our needy blind and our totally disabled; it would terminate grants to local governments for operation of schools in Federally impacted areas; it would shift to states and localities the responsibility for public housing; it would curtail hospital construction to meet only urgent needs and expected in a special supplementary message later is a proposal to reduce veteran's compensations and pensions.
Now, I ask you what kind of a philosophy is it that has millions and billions for foreign potentates and communist dictators but has no compassion for our veterans, their widows, our elder citizens, the farmers and others who work to sustain this nation?
What kind of a philosophy is it that demands billions more for outright gifts to 70-odd foreign nations of the earth and in the same message demands that Congress raise the present debt limit of $275 billion dollars by another $5 billion dollars?
What kind of a philosophy is it which demands an extension of trade and tariff policies that have caused dumping of slave-wage goods on American markets to the harm and detriment of many American industries and their workers?
What kind of a philosophy is it where the Federal Reserve Board with its "tight money" policy attempts to keep the lid on top of the economic chimney while the budget makers are feeding the flames of inflation at the bottom of the chimney?
What kind of a philosophy is it that pursues a policy of scarce dollars and inflated dollars at one and the same time?
What kind of a philosophy is it that pursues a policy of hard money for the people and easy money for the bureaucrats?

370

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

What kind of a philosophy is it that pursues a course of more and more inflation further endangering the insurance policies, the savings, the retirement programs of all our people and all of those other benefts which are based upon value of a sound currency?
What kind of a philosophy is it that has already robbed our peo ple of more than 50 per cent of their savings and pension rights by deficit financing since 1939?
What kind of a philosophy is it that would let the farmers of this nation fall by the wayside to shift for themselves when billions of dollars in federal government subsidies are parceled out annually to industry and to other lines of endeavor?
The Administration in Washington cannot answer these questions.
It is time the American people demanded satisfactory answers to all of them.

Of particular concern to those who are interested in the eco nomic welfare of this nation is the plight of the American farmer.
In a special message to Congress in mid-January, the President made several recommendations which, if adopted, would deliver the final destructive blow to agriculture in this nation.
He would cut parity to 60 per cent.
He would repeal the law requiring that tobacco be supported at 90 per cent of parity when marketing quotas are in effect, regard less of supply.
Secretary Benson's policies have driven many farmers off the land. They have plunged most of those who have remained into de pression. They have kept our farmers under constant threat of bankruptcy.
We have had enough.
We want no more of Benson's starvation.
I am fighting it all the way!
As a farmer, as a member of the Senate and as a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I will oppose these thoughtless and indifferent proposals as vigorously and as effectively as I know how.
It takes no expert to see that current national farm policies are planned depression for the farmer.
One does not have to be an economist to see that this starving to death of one major group in our economy is spreading to other groups, as it inevitably does, and is now doing.
The Farmers' loss of income and buying power is drying up vital markets for industrial products.
Nothing less than a bold, new, effective approach to this prob lem will suffice. Such a new farm program must be forthcoming soon if the present farm crisis is to be solved and if the agricultural

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1958

371

depression is to be prevented from wreaking further havoc on other segments of our economy.
This program must be devised to (1) Let the farmer farm; (2) Assure him prices for what he produces commensurate with those of manufactured products; (3) Assure him and his family a fair and equitable share of the national income based upon the labor he expends in his work.
The farmers of this nation must look to an overwhelmingly Democratic Congress and a new Democratic administration dedicated to old-fashioned Jeffersonian Democracy to right these wrongs, to resolve these inequities and to really do something for the farmer and the American people.

And, in conclusion, a word to our veterans, their widows and their dependent children.
All of those administration proposals which have been made or which may hereafter be made at this session of Congress to trim veterans benefits, to lower existing compensation benefits for their widows or for their children, face certain defeat in Congress.

Not only are we going to have to look for new concepts of ad ministration in our government at home but also we are going to have to look for new concepts in the conduct of our foreign affairs.
The cost of the cold war rises year-by-year.
We see vast armed forces arrayed against each other in Europe, in the Middle East, in Africa and in Asia.
A careless shot could detonate a power that could destroy civili zation itself.
Time will soon be at hand when we will have to recognize con ditions as they are.
Though the future may now look dark, I know that you share with me an abiding faith in the inherent greatness of our beloved country and in the sturdy fiber and resolute character of her sons and daughters.
You ask how can we insure America's future strength and safety?
The answer is clear.
Now is the time to anchor our destiny to those tenets of Ameri canism that have stood the test of time and have been tried in the crucible of experience--tenets which have never failed us in time of need.
Now is the time for leaders and for leadership.
We--the masses of the American people--are steadfastly de termined to press into the fray every sinew of our beings and every resource at our disposal to guarantee our Country's continued role as

372

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the acknowledged leader of the free nations of the world and the true champion of right and justice for all men.
As we prepare ourselves to meet that sacred obligation we do so, as Americans have done since they first set foot on this homeland of ours.
We do so humbly and with prayer to Almighty God for His be nevolence and guidance.
We do so with a solemn resolution on our part to make the sac rifices and to do the work that needs to be done.
Doing that, Americans and all free peoples everywhere can look to the horizons of tomorrow with the assurance that peace and se curity under God will continue to be their heritage.

Pursuant to Joint Resolution adopted by the House and Senate, the Senate appeared upon the floor of the House and the Joint Session convened for the purpose of hearing a message from Representative E. L. (Tic) Forrester, Con gressional Representative from the 3rd District, was called to order by the President of the Senate.

The Secretary of the Senate read the Resolution providing for the Joint Session.

Accompanied by Governor Griffin, the Committee of Escort, and other dis tinguished guests, Representative E. L. Forrester appeared upon the floor of the House.

The President of the Senate recognized Honorable Phil Campbell, Com missioner of Agriculture, who in turn introduced to the members of the General Assembly, Miss Jean Carter, National Maid of Cotton for 1958.
The President of the Senate presented Governor Marvin Griffin, who in a short message welcomed Representative E. L. Forrester.

Representative Forrester gave the following address:
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Members of the great State of Georgia's House and Senate, all of whom I am humbly but profoundly grateful that I can address as my friends and proudly mean it, your gracious invitation to me, to leave my duties in Washington and speak to you at this Joint Session, will always be to me one of the most inspiring events of my life.
This is a privilege that has exceeded my most cherished ambitions. No man could possibly be so vain as to expect to merit such an honor. That you should have honored me with the invitation to address you is a compliment far beyond my deserts or capacity, I can only conclude that invitation came because of your tremendous generosity and your personal friendship. The Resolution extending this invitation to me,

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1958

453

signed by your President, your Speaker, your Secretary, and your Clerk, bearing the Seal of your magnificent and enduring State of Georgia, is now being suitably framed, and it will hang in my office as a constant reminder to me that I am daily entrusted with the high responsibility and privilege of representing the heart beats and the heart throbs of the people of our State.
Believe me, my friends, I will read again and again the statements in that Resolution, that I have aggressively fought those who would destroy our country, that I had become a respected leader of the forces combatting Communism, and that I have been a champion of democracy and a courageous defender of the viewpoint of the South and the State I represent. I will particularly note that language: "he has been", with the determination that, God being my helper, I will try to be with all my heart and soul the kind of servant that you and the good people of Georgia so richly deserve.
It will be a daily reminder to me of the rich heritage which is mine, in that I am born where you were born, blood of your blood, flesh of your flesh, and that I must stand as you have so gloriously stood for the things that have made this nation great. It will renew my determination to fight zealously for the principles you have so grandly declared to all of this world in your official pronouncements, and in every act and action. The entire Georgia Delegation in Congress deeply appreciates your patriotism and your endeavors, and I bring to you today the felicitations and the best wishes of every member of that group.
Your invitation is a challenging one. Knowing you as I do, I am certain that you invited me here for the purpose that I discuss with you the staggering problems confronting the human race today, and that I do it boldly and without equivocation. I would have it no other way.
Upon that premise, I declare to you that in these dark days, when everything is strife and confusion and the whole world is topsy-turvy, this generation must face now without flinching these all-important questions:
1. Will the human race be wiped out?
2. Will the lights of civilization go out?
3. Will Christianity fade from human hearts ?
4. Will constitutional government be completely destroyed?
5. Will the genius of this government, the rights of the sovereign States under a republican form of government be destroyed?
6. Will there be an amalgamation of the races?
I digress here to say that in the past maybe many well-thinking Christian people have doubted that this question confronts us. I concede that it was hard to believe. None of us have any quarrel whatsoever with any honest person diligently seeking to discover the truth, insist ing that evidence be submitted to support that statement. I have been patient with those people, and you have been patient. I cannot refrain from saying now that my patience has been exhausted. More than ample evidence has been made available to demonstrate this truth than the hardened skeptic, but honest skeptic, should require.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Today, the singing of "Old Black Joe" as written is taboo. "Uncle Remus and The Tar Baby", which came from the brain and heart of that immortal Georgian, Joel Chandler Harris, has been removed from the book shelves. Stephen Poster's "Swanee River" and "Old Black Joe" must be altered in content before going out on God's ether waves. The moving pictures "Island In the Sun" and "The Edge of the City" are so utterly convincing that any person should read as he runs the signs of these unfortunate times.
The United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights should and will convince any honest person that the forces of amalgamation are on the march. The money-spending spree the United Nations is now engaged in, with money mostly gathered from the taxpayers of the United States, to prove that all races are equal and that there are no biological differences whatever, and its declarations legalizing mixed marriages, conclusively proves that this question confronts us. The experiences in the Nation's Capitol, the guinea pig for social experiments, should cause the blind to see.
Today, any white woman walking the streets of Washington at night is exposed to the real danger of losing her life, or suffering sexual assault, or both. This day, in the Nation's Capitol, white women sit and cringe in their apartments or homes, with windows barred, doors locked and chained, fearing they will be murdered, sexually assaulted, robbed and beaten by gangs of other races. The Chief of Police, who is a good one, finds it impossible to cope with them because it has now come to the point where it takes a genius to remain in jail, for only a genius can conceal his imprisonment from the United States Supreme Court, the court that has in recent pronouncements stripped the meek and law-abiding citizen of every vestige of protection against those fiendish wolves who well know and understand that a complete cloak of security has been trown around them. Yes, our patience has been exhausted. Surely, any of our skeptics now know about the break down of law and order in New York, the civil rights capital of the United States, and in Brooklyn, and understand that the favorite indoor sport in the Brooklyn schools is the rape of 13 and 14-year old white girls by members of the negro race, occasioned by the wild-eyed leftwingers mixing the schools, when it would seem that any person would have more sense than to do such a thing. This unfortunate situation is a monument to Mayor Wagner, Governor Harriman, and others you know. Certainly, those skeptics have read the lament of Police Chief Parker, Los Angeles, which I quote: "We have lost control of the crime problem in Los Angeles."
That efficient police officer well knows and understands that this question is real; otherwise, he would not be asking for legislation that would permit him to save Los Angeles from this unholy problem.
I say to the skeptics in Georgia now, in the identical language that northern newspapers attribute to Governor Marvin Griffin, "We ain't going to have it here." Shakespeare may not have approved that quota tion, but it is eloquent to me. That statement was framed in Georgiastyle, and reflects the spirit of Georgia, and I do not think anyone could fail to understand its meaning. No one has to tell me for I know in my heart that everyone of you has that same resolve and ex pects to maintain it as long as you live.
I must confess to you that I have gotten a little tired of some of

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1958

455

the "do-gooders" saying that segregation is un-Christian. Our un changing God has never condoned the series of offenses and outrages that integration brings, and He never will. I am a little tired of some of those who are saying that God has told them that segregation is wrong. I know, and you know, God does not tell one person one thing and another person another thing.
Some ministers say that segregation is wrong, others say that segregation was ordained by our Creator. I accuse no one of insincerity, but I vigorously assert and maintain that God has not given to a few a monopoly upon his views, and withheld his views to other tried and true consecrated servants.
Such contentions remind me of a story, and whether or not it is true, it is a good story told about an episode in the life of that dis tinguished Divine, Bishop Candler. The story is that on one occasion, a minister went to the Bishop and said: "Bishop, I talked to the Lord last night and he told me to tell you that you had not treated me right, that I deserve a better charge next year than the one I had this year." The Bishop said: "That is interesting. What time did you talk to the Lord last night?" The minister replied: "About nine o'clock." The Bishop then said: "Well, the only explanation I have for you is that the Lord must have changed his mind, for I talked to the Lord about ten o'clock last night, and he told me you were lucky to have any kind of charge at all."
Seriously, I say to these "do-gooders" to remember Little Rock. Little Rock will remain through the ages as an imperishable monument to the law of brute force; also, a monument to the will of a people who could not be broken by paratroopers or bayonets. Yet, Little Rock also stands out as a monument to the appalling realization of what division can do to a proud city. The editorials of one Harry Ashmore, the rantings of an integrationist mayor, the attitudes of public officials to the effect that a little integration would not do any harm, are the ones that the blame is upon, because they are the ones that caused the radical left-wing organizations and the NAACP to believe that they could move in with impunity. They are the ones whose conduct inspired tha decision of the North Dakota Judge, and they must share the blame, along with the President, for the presence of troops in Little Rock and the turmoil that ensued.
I wonder if anyone can doubt the fairness of these statements ? Now, the chips are down, and those causing this division can only do so knowingly and with complete understanding of what division will mean in our State. I say to them, and you say to them, we do not intend to violate a single law, nor a single edict of the United States Supreme Court, no matter how wrong it be, but nevertheless, they may as well stop their ranting because "We ain't going to have it here."
They can deliberately make it hard for us, but they cannot alter our resolve and determination. We will do whatever it takes to prevent this and we will do it within the law. We will close every school in Georgia before it shall come to pass. There is no necessity for another Little Rock and there will not be if our ranks are undivided. Little Rock is not a circumstance to what can occur in Georgia if these wild-eyed left-wing groups demand that it shall be.
We are not confronted only with that problem which I digressed

456

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

to discuss, but with the other problems I have stated. We have a stu pendous work to do and it must be done right. This is the time for undiluted statesmanship, completely divorced from politics. The per sonal equation must be forgotten.
It is evident to me and God knows I hope and somehow believe that it is becoming clearer to the majority of the people of the United States that had it not been for the social revolution carried on so feverishly for the past three years by our President, Vice-President, and entirely too many Democrats and Republicans, all urged and spurred on by left-wing minority groups, many of whom cannot be trusted when the chips are down, we would not have found ourselves in our present position where a Godless nation has outstripped us in the development of weapons which could mean the end of civilization, indeed, the destruction of the human race. Had those people used those three years for the lofty purpose of preserving the human race and worked as feverishly toward that laudable end as they have fought for minorities, we would not find ourselves in this unfortunate situation.
I do not mean to tell you that we are defenseless. I do not think that we are. I do mean to tell you that we are behind, and that anyone should know that we must be ahead and remain ahead if we are to preserve civilization and Christianity on the face of this earth. I mean to tell you that we must build, and build speedily, satellites, missiles, planes, submarines and other death-dealing instruments far more capa ble of destruction than anything Russia can produce. Further, we must continue to do these things for a long time and until the people behind the Iron Curtain realize the futility of war, and sue for peace.
Anyone advocating an all-out war now is a menace to this world. The only hope for avoiding war, and the destruction of humanity, is that we be stronger and more capable at all times. Ludicrous as it may seem to some, it is now a fact that the one nation which controls the moon and the planets will rule this world. We are behind in this race, but we must win this race. A second-best military is like a second-best poker hand. The second-best just cannot win. This is a fight, my friends, to the finish. It is going to cost a lot of money, but it is one that money alone cannot win. We need to forget the idea that we can go to the battlefront in Cadillacs, or under the slogan "Business as Usual". This fight is going to be won by those who are willnig to give the noblest part of their natures, and who are not only willing to die for our principles, but to do the harder thing--live for our principles. Liberty simply will not consort with a coward, a weakling or the faint
hearted.
Maybe it was too much to expect, but when the President talked to us a short time ago on security, immediately after the launching of Sputnik, I was hoping in my heart that our President would suggest that this social revolution, which is destroying the unity of our country, be called off. Yes, I had hoped that he would issue a challenge to that effect so that the people could have the opportunity of determining those who could be trusted when the chips are down. You and I would welcome that challenge, and we would accept that challenge. It would be wholesome for America to have the opportunity of finding out whether these minority groups, who ask for so much and give so little, are willing to prove their loyalty and devotion to constitutional govern ment.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1958

457

The President did not issue that challenge. Unfortunately, the same day he talked to the American people, he announced his appoint ment of the members of the Civil Rights Commission. It was a bad commission which he set up. It could have been worse. I have the idea that Sputnik caused it to be no worse. I concede that it could have been worse, because he could have appointed Eleanor, he could have appointed Averill Harriman, who is anti-white; perhaps he would have appointed Vice-President Nixon except for the fact that Nixon was busily engaged travelling over Africa and working with Martin Luther King, on "Operation Dixie". The story is told in Washington that after VicePresident Nixon returned from one of his African trips he appeared at a baseball game and was taken out to greet the umpires and players; that he was first met by a white umpire, the Vice-President extended his hand, and forgetful of his surroundings, looked at the umpire with amazement and was heard to say: "You're Mr. Livington, I presume."
This Civil Rights Commission will soon start stirring up the strife it was created for. I know this civil rights legislation. I know it as well as any man in the United States. I know it as well as Herbert Brownell, and I know it better than President Eisenhower will ever know it. If I did not know it, I would have failed you and would have failed the people I represent, and I would have failed the white race.
I was the only member of the House Committee on the Judiciary from Georgia, and as such I had the sacred duty of knowing that legisla tion and fighting that legislation every step of the way. If I fell down on the job in any respect, recognition of that fact would be the deepest regret of my life. As a member of Subcommittee No. 2 of the House Committee on the Judiciary, and the only southerner on that sub committee of seven, I was able to hold that iniquitous legislation throughout the Session of 1955 and until April 9, 1956. The full com mittee, on which there were seven other southerners, was able to keep it off the Floor until July 18, 1956. It passed the House on July 24, 1956, after having been riddled with amendments, and was sent to the Senate four days before adjournment.
In 1957, commencing when Congress convened, a determined fight was made to bring that bill out of committee. Chairman Celler and ranking minority member Keating said the bill would go through like a dose of croton oil, and be passed on February 15th. Congressman Celler would not let me sit as a member of the subcommittee in 1957, but he could not prevent me from fighting it just the same. We demanded public hearings and we got public hearings.
I called the governor of our state and asked him to send me Eugene Cook and Charlie Bloch to testify before that committee. He sent them, they came, they did a masterful job. Time will not permit me to enumerate what they did, but as a result of their work and as a result of Georgia responding to my call, the backbones of other southern governors and attorneys general were stiffened, and they came to Washington in numbers that the opposition did not dream would come.
As a result that bill was amended in at least seven important particulars before it reached the Floor, and I am proud to tell you that the bill reached the Floor only four days earlier in 1957 than it did in 1956. Our fight was organized every step of the way. I was the leader of that fight in the committee, Congressman Howard Smith was the General on the Floor, Congressman James Davis of Stone

458

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Mountain, Georgia, was our Parliamentarian. We were finally whipped, but that fight proved to me that Lee's army was as good as it ever was. We suffer simply because of lack of numbers. Our heads were bruised, but they remain unbowed.
Sometime you cannot measure results in the heat of the day. I am inclined to believe now that our success exceeded our expectations. Veritably, I believe that on the national level this social revolution has reached its crest and can only go down hill. Many of the boys who so enthusiastically supported that legislation are now giving the ap pearance of having been thoroughly chastened. The truth seems to have sunk into them that they did not pick up any votes by doing this un-American thing. That is something that you and I could have told them, and I did tell them, but this is a problem that some people simply have to experience personally in order to understand.
As a matter of fact, I am a little tired and disgusted over the prattling of so many of our leaders to the effect that the Negro has cause all of this trouble. I never will agree that a handful of Negroes has turned this world upside down. Further, I have never convinced myself that the rank and file of the Negro race has any desire to do so. To attribute to the Negroes all of the blame for this strife and con fusion would be admitting that they possess political acumen and in telligence that the facts do not warrant. The NAACP is not a Negro organization and never has been. It has had three presidents--all of whom had white skin. It is an interracial movement, and the Board of Directors is about evenly divided. Eleanor is an honorary member. So is Dick Nixon.
You ask me, naturally, who did stir up this trouble in our land? That is a good question and I can tell you. It was not stirred up by the Yankees, and this is not a battle between the Yankee and the Rebel, or the North and the South. Many would have you think that it is. Thank God there are millions of unreconstructed Yankees who believe in constitutional government and want to have the privilege of pre serving our republican form of government. The Yankees are on our side in numbers so large it is hard to envision. There are millions more we can win, when we discharge our duty to carry the facts to them and extend the welcome hand of friendship in recognition of our common destiny. To that end we must unceasingly work.
Of amazing interest to me is the fact that in all .of the hearings, not an agency of our Federal government or the agencies of any of our State governments appeared and testified in behalf of civil rights legislation. The FBI did not appear. No judge of any court appeared. No Attorney General appeared other than Herbert Brownell, and he appeared only on April 9, 1956, when it was apparent that civil rights legislation was going to be passed out of Subcommittee No. 2.
It might interest you to know that when Brownell did appear, he had a bill hastily prepared, which was the worst legal garbage I have ever been permitted to see, and which was completely fashioned upon the bill recommended by Attorney General Tom Clark in 1949, which Tom Clark admitted was of doubtful constitutionality, but contended would be made legal by recitations that the legislation was drawn pursuant to the United Nations Charter. The legality of the civil rights legislation is now dependent upon the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1958

459

With the exception of Congressmen who were authors of civil rights legislation, Herbert Brownell, and the Director of the FHA, who bluntly testified that while he was color-blind, interracial housing was a bad financial risk for the taxpayers of the United States, here is the list that did appear and testify:
Chairman of the National Civil Rights Committee, AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith, accompanied by Director, AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith, Washington, D. C.; Executive Secretary of the NAACP, New York, accompanied by the Director of the Washington Bureau and Counsel for the Bureau; General Counsel, American Jewish Congress; Executive Director, American Veterans Committee; Secretary-Treasurer, International Union of Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers, CIO; Co-Directors of the Fair Practices and Anti-Discrimination Department, UAW-CIO, accompanied by National Representative, UAW-CIO; Legislative Representative, Americans for Democratic Action; Director, Ameri can Council on Human Rights; W. Astor Kirk, who said he was appearing as a private witness, although a professor of govern ment at Huston-Tillatson College, Austin, Texas; Washington Representative, Japanese-American Citizens League; statement of the National Community Relations Advisory Council, the statement reciting that it represented the combined and joint views of the constituent organizations as shown on pages 360-361 of the hear ings; also, statement by the National Lawyers Guild, National Council of Jewish Women, Inc., Womens International League for Peace and Freedom, and the American Civil Liberties Union.
In other words, the only persons in the whole United States testi fying in behalf of civil rights legislation were the above minority groups. Now, I hope no member of any race or religion bruises too easily. I attack no one on the basis of race, color, or creed per se, and I want that understood. But, I want it to be fully understood that I attack any organization, irrespective of race, color or creed, where the national interest is involved. I am aware of the fact that these organi zations do not represent the thinking of the great majority of the races and religions that they claim to represent. Actually, I think they are misrepresenting the races and religions they claim to represent. I think any good citizen of the United States should be glad to know, irrespective of any racial ties, or religious ties, the organizations stir ring up our land. If anyone resents nie telling the truth--then they are the ones who deserve criticism and condemnation.
The testimony of Judge Rose, Chairman of the Civil Rights Com mittee, Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, was absolutely astound ing. His testimony will be found on pages 403-415 of the Civil Rights Hearings published in 1957. On pages 409-415 will be found my crossexamination of Judge Rose. Judge Rose made it crystal clear that he approved legislation making it a criminal felony offense for anyone abolishing public schools and substituting private schools to avoid integrated schools.
The record shows that I called his attention to the fact that Georgia was discussing going on a private school system, and asking him if he was advocating that if the State of Georgia should abolish its public school system that the abolishment would come within this criminal statute that he advocated, and the Judge made it crystal clear that he

460

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

did. The American Jewish Committee sent each Member of Congress a pamphlet entitled "The People Take the Lead" and, on page 631 of the American Jewish Yearbook, 1956, Vol. 57, is found the statement "We were very closely involved with the Supreme Court decision. Not only were we active along with other organizations, in the filing of an amicus curae brief, but we contributed materially to the social theory upon which the desegregation decision was based." Also, "Factfinding studies from which this theory developed would not have been made were it not for the American Jewish Committee."
The National Lawyers Guild, an organization which Mr. Brownell has termed subversive, testified on page 529 of said hearings, and stated that they had drafted the model civil rights bill, evidently meaning the one that Attorney General Tom Clark submitted in 1949, and hastily copied by Attorney General Brownell in April, 1956. Whether the National Lawyers Guild was the father of that illegitimate offspring, I do not know. I admit that the child looks exactly like it.
The UAW-CIO, through its Co-Director of the Fair Practices and Anti-Discrimination Department, pages 479-510, recommended legisla tion founded in the United Nations Charter and Universal Declaration on Human Rights. On page 498 of the 1957 hearings will be found the statement by that witness that segregation must be stopped because "white dominion is dead or dying everywhere in the world, not only in Africa, but also here in the United States of America."
I observe now as I did then, that witness will not live long enough to preside at the funeral of the white race.
The Secretary-Treasurer, International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, CIO, recommended legislation which would halt Federal funds to segregated schools, would pass an FEPC law, prohibit segregation in government-assisted housing, demonstrating that they did not mind trampling underfoot the Constitution of the United States.
The Americans for Democratic Action, through John J. Gunther, advocated an anti-discrimination amendment to the Military Reserve Bill and to eliminate segregation and other forms of discrimination in housing, education, employment, recreation, government-supported fi nancing, the national guard, and other areas of life. Also, they urged that all Federal contributions to such programs be conditioned upon such principles.
By the way--I understand that the ADA has blacklisted Tic For rester. I appreciate that compliment, and I can assure you that Tic Forrester had blacklisted them long before they blacklisted Tic For rester.
I have barely touched the testimony of these various minority groups, but, they sang the same songs and played the same music.
The truth is, this agitation over civil rights and the destruction of the Tenth Amendment reserving all powers to the States not dele gated to the Federal government is the work of the Communist Party. Two or three weeks ago on Mike Wallace's program, John Gates, a Communist and former editor of The Daily Worker, took credit for the civil rights legislation in behalf of the Communist Party.
In 1928 the Communist Party platform laid down nine planks

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1958

461

dealing with minority races, and eight of those planks have already been complied with through executive decrees and decisions of the United States Supreme Court. The plank remaining unsatisfied is the one demanding the abolishment of all laws prohibiting mixed marriages. There is a case now pending before the U. S. Supreme Court attacking the constitutionality of those laws, and as sure as the sun shines the U. S. Supreme Court will accommodate that demand.
The most unfortunate decision ever rendered by the U. S. Supreme Court was the case of Missouri v. Holland in 1920. That decision wrong fully held that treaties are superior to our Constitution. The Com munists and left-wingers danced with glee when that decision was announced. President Truman's Civil Rights Commission in 1947 re ported that the United Nations Charter being a treaty, that new vistas had opened to them in the field of civil rights which they had not theretofore dreamed were possible. While you and I, and the rank and file of the American people, were told that the United Nations Charter represented our longing for peace and was a panacea against war, those boys were operating on the idea that the United Nations was a super government, and as Secretary Stettinius termed it, the Charter was an "International Constitution."
We did not dream that it would be used to run roughshod over our Constitution, or that it would meddle with our internal affairs. We had no idea that it would be used as a basis for the enactment of civil rights which even the U. S. Supreme Court had held conflicted with our Constitution. We of course know that in Oyama v. California, 334 U.S., the Supreme Court held that a former constitutional law of California was illegal because it conflicted with the United Nations Charter.
Briefly, though I must hurry on, I stake any reputation which I might have as a lawyer of thirty years experience that there is not one decision of the U. S. Supreme Court that has offended our philoso phies, ran counter to our Constitution and completely against our way of life, which cannot be defended, provided you first admit, which I do not, that treaties override and are superior to our Constitution. I hope that shocks you. Many lawyers have asked me why it was that the U. S. Supreme Court ignored the rule of stare decisis in the school case decisions. I can give you this explanation: cases holding that separate but equal facilities satisfied all constitutional concepts were decisions rendered in the Constitution itself. Since those decisions were rendered, the United Nations Charter has been adopted and ratified by the government of the United States, and if treaties override our Con stitution, then the Supreme Court Judges perhaps could defend an impeachment proceeding upon the contention that there was no rule of stare deeisis, because a treaty had been approved since the rendition of the former decisions.
It is my recommendation that each and every lawmaker in the United States and everyone interested in constitutional government secure a copy of the United Nations Charter and the Universal Decla ration on Human Rights. For your information, a few months ago I sent my check to the United Nations, after discovering that this spend thrift government of ours had neither of those documents, although it distributes free pamhplets on everything that the human mind ctm conceive of, including the sex life of flowers, asking that they send me an equal number of the Charters and the Universal Declaration on

462

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Human Rights. They sent me 200 copies of the Charter, but advised me they were indefinitely out of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. In other words--I must assume they do not expect to print any more copies.
I have one copy, however, and I am saving it for seed, and if they do not print more, we will just have the one that I possess reprinted, because there is the instrument which explains everything and shows the direction this government is travelling in. Those two instruments furnished the inspiration for the decision in the Watkins case which virtually destroyed the powers of Congress to investigate subversive activities; they also will explain the decision against California, telling that sovereign State that it must withdraw its dential of the right to practice law to the one that had been a former Communist; they ex plain the Steve Nelson case which told the sovereign State of Pennsyl vania in effect that States rightes were no more, and that a State could not legislate against the overthrow of a state government; when you read those instruments, you can understand where the reasoning was obtained in the decision telling New York that it could not fire a Communist teacher in the public schools, for under those instruments Communists is a political philosophy and protected as such. Under those instruments you can begin to see the unreasonable utterances enunciated in the Girard will case in Pennsylvania.
Now, we might as well shell the corn and we might as well under stand what lies ahead for us. It is my considered opinion that the Girard will case decision was rendered for the express purpose of being made applicable to the State of Georgia and other southern States. The NAACP and other organizations understand that and I am not telling them anything which they do not already know. To the Gov ernors of Georgia, the present and the future, to the present leaders of the House and the Senate, and the future leaders, and to the present members of this body and those who come hereafter, I warn you that you might as well roll up your sleeves and bare your breasts and be at all times ready, willing and able to fight. There are entirely too many lawyers in this Joint Session for me to presume that I must analyze and digest the consequences of that decision to you. Let them threaten the denial of funds. Let them threaten the denial to us of the use of public buildings or property. They may put those threats into execution, but by the Grace of God, they will be the losers. In punishing us, they will arouse the righteous wrath of the good people from the four corners of this nation as nothing else could do.
You have been most kind to me. You have honored me far more than I deserve. I am simply a country lawyer from the little town of Leesburg, who is entrusted with the privilege of fighting for principles which our people love more than life itself. I have done, and will con tinue to do, and the Georgia Delegation has done and will continue to do everything possible to try to recover those principles for you and bring them safely home.
I thank the people of Georgia for that privilege, and if you will permit me, please let me tell you of one little act which I was able to perform for you that will perhaps remain the high-water mark of my life. In the 83rd Congress, S. J. Res. 44, proposing an amendment to our Constitution was introduced by Senator Butler of Maryland and was passed in the Senate by a vote of 44 to 29. That resolution was

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1958

463

advocated by the Bar of the City of New York, a Bar which I have found by experience to be one that favors centralized government and liberal theories always, and approved by the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association.
Under Article III, Section 2, paragraph 2, of our Constitution, it is provided that in all constitutional questions the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, subject to such exceptions and regulations as Congress might make. Under S. J. Res. 44, as conceived by the Bar of the City of New York, and approved by the American Bar Asso ciation as aforesaid, that provision was changed to read that the Su preme Court would have appellate jurisdiction of all constitutional questions both law and fact, deleting the right of Congress to make exceptions and regulations.
Strange indeed, Justice Burton and former Justice Owen Roberts had recommended that provision. Indeed, those gentlemen referred to the right of Congress to make exceptions and regulations to the appel late jurisdiction of the Supreme Court as the Achilles heel. They recommended that the Supreme Court be given complete and exclusive authority on saying what the Constitution did and did not mean, free of any interference from any branch of government whatsoever. That resolution was passed favorably out of a Subcommittee of the House Committee on the Judiciary, but when it was brought before the full committee, I read that iniquitous provision and I lead the fight to defeat S. J. Res. 44, and strangely, not a one of the members of the Subcommittee had realized the danger of such provisions. We defeated that Bill, thank God.
Here is why I am proud and thankful. Had that bill passed and been adopted, the people of this country would have been bereft of any remedy whatsoever in seeking to undo the horrible decisions that the U. S. Supreme Court has rendered in recent years, and the U. S. Supreme Court would have been, as they assume themselves to be, complete dictators of the United States of America. I had the joyous privilege of retaining for the people the right to deal with that court and its membership and that right remains, and all on earth we need to deal with that court is the will on the part of Congress so to do. That was worth going to Congress for.
As surely as we stand in this hallowed place, if the Supreme Court of the United States has the power to write the law of the land, and if the President has the right to enforce those decisions with troops, then we are a dictatorship as terrifying as any existing in foreign lands. Yet, that is the order of these evil days.
Maybe some of you were surprised when I was bold enough to give a statement to the newspapers that President Eisenhower would send troops to Little Rock. I was not unmindful of the fact that the Civil War statute providing that the President could send roops to en force civil rights had been stricken from the law in the Senate. I was thoroughly familiar with that provision and pointed it out in the Minority Report of which I was the author in 1956, and again in the Minority Report of 1957, and I pointed it out on the Floor of the House in 1956. I also knew that when that provision was stricken in the Senate by a vote of 94 to nothing, that the left-wing boys did not think that they had given up anything.

464

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

I remind you again, remember the law of brute force. I do not think that Herbert Brownell sent those troops. I do not think that Sherman Adams did. Sitting in the White House is a man by the name of Max Rabb, who is one of the President's secretaries, and who was head of one of the minority groups before he became advisor to the President on minority affairs. The minority groups are the boys who demanded that troops be sent to Little Rock. They are the ones who got the President's ear, and I am confident that they are the ones who persuaded the President to do a thing that he had told Senator Russell about two weeks before he could not conceive of ever doing.
Believe me, my friends, these so-called "tolerant" boys are the most intolerant boys this country has ever spawned. No, it is not the Negro. Down in Leesburg, Georgia, there is an old Negro who has worked for me off and on for 25 or 30 years and he has as faithful a heart as ever beat in a human breast. He writes to me often. In one of his letters he said this to me: "Everything is all right down home, and the yard's all right. You take care of the Yankees, and I'll take care of the home-folks." While he is wrong in saying the Yankees, he knew that there were sinister influences somewhere and in his heart he wanted them corrected.
I know of no greater privilege ever accorded to the lawmakers of this nation and to the leaders of this nation than the privilege of preserving these things which I have discussed. There is no place on the globe more appropriate to discuss these principles than the spot where you and I stand, and no legislative body, State or Federal, can be more dedicated or more firm in its adherence to the principles upon which our government is based than here. No wonder, my friends, it's great to be a Georgian.

A RESOLUTION
Inviting Judge George Wallace, of Clayton, Alabama, to address the House of Representatives of Georgia, and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, Judge George Wallace nominated Senator Dick Rus sell for President at the 1948 Democratic National Convention, and
WHEREAS, he was a member of the Platform Committee at the Democratic National Convention in 1956, and
WHEREAS, he appeared before the House Judiciary Committee against the Civil Rights Bill in 1957, and
WHEREAS, he is an outstanding advocate of local and Constitu tional Government, and
WHEREAS, he has closed his records to Civil Rights investigators, and once stated he would order the arrest of any F.B.I, agent who attempted to investigate the jury boxes of his Circuit, and

574

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, he led the fight for Alabama in the National Conven tion against the so-called Civil Rights proposals,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that Judge George Wallace is hereby extended an invitation to address a joint session of the House and Senate on Wednesday, February 12, 1958, at 11 o'clock A. M.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this resolution to Judge George Wallace.

HR 422. By Mr. Broome of Bacon:
A RESOLUTION
Relative to establishing Alma as the emergency capital city of Georgia; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, during today's continuing period of cold war and competition of the Sputniks there is always the possibility of eruption of conflict into real war with the nuclear bombing of American cities by Russian missiles, and
WHEREAS, Atlanta is a vital United States city and the hub of the Southeastern industry and the seat of numerous defense and defense-related industries and therefore a likely target for enemy bombing, and
WHEREAS, Atlanta's destruction in a nuclear war or the pos sible destruction of the capitol and other State buildings by a tornado or other natural disaster would leave the State of Georgia without a capitol city for the conduct of its necessary governmental operations, and
WHEREAS, it is incumbent upon this General Assembly to take action prior to any possible such war condition to be sure that the essential governmental services of the State of Georgia can be car ried on in time of emergency, and
WHEREAS, in the year 1952 the City of Alma was chosen as the most progressive Georgia city under 20,000 population with more than 300 cities competing and in three other years, in 1953, 1951 and 1950, Alma was selected as one of the top four cities in the State, and
WHEREAS, Alma is located conveniently to such great cities as Atlanta, Savannah, Jacksonville, Florida, Waycross and Brunswick, but is nonetheless located in a pineland paradise of rural fastness in which it is not likely that any nuclear bomb shall fall, and
WHEREAS, the City of Alma has excellent postal, telephone, telegraph, newspaper, radio, television and air facilities, and
WHEREAS, Alma has an airport with a 4,000 foot sodded run way and a CAA weather and communications station and is located only 27 miles from a commercial airline airport at Waycross, and

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1958

575

WHEREAS, officials of the City of Alma, Georgia, and the County of Bacon and citizens thereof are anxious and patriotic in doing their duty and are desirous of having the State use Alma as an emergency capitol site, and
WHEREAS, the City of Alma was originally named for four of Georgia's capitol cities; Augusta, Louisville, Milledgeville and Atlanta, and
WHEREAS, it is imperative that this General Assembly take early action to resolve the question of an emergency capitol for Geor gia in time of nuclear war.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the City of Alma, Georgia, in Bacon County in Georgia's pineland paradise be designated by the General Assembly of Georgia as suitable for Georgia's emergency capitol and that upon passage of proper enabling legislation and proclamation by proper officials of the City of Alma, Georgia, in Bacon County may be so designated as Georgia's emergency capital city and the necessary emergency facilities for use in time of emergency be estab lished there.

The Senate amendment to HB 770 was agreed to.

Pursuant to Joint Resolution adopted by the House and Senate, the Senate appeared upon the floor of the House and the Joint Session convened for the purpose of hearing a message from Judge George Wallace of the Third Judicial Circuit of the State of Alabama, and was called to order by the President of the Senate.

The Secretary of the Senate read the Resolution providing for the Joint Session.

Accompanied by Governor Griffin, the Committee of Escort, and other distinguished guests, Judge George Wallace appeared upon the floor of the House.
Lieutenant-Governor Ernest Vandiver presented Governor Marvin Griffin whose introductory remarks of Judge George Wallace of Clayton, Alabama, are as follows:
It is certainly a privilege and indeed a high honor for me to have the oppor tunity of presenting to you a distinguished Southerner who has led the fight to preserve our constitutional form of government in his section of the South.
Our guest today voted for Senator Richa'rd B. Russell for President at the 1948 Democratic Convention.
He was a member of the Platform Committee at the Democratic Convention of 1956 and led the fight for Alabama against the so-called civil rights' pro posal.
As an outstanding advocate of local and constitutional government, he appeared before the House Judiciary Committee in 1957 and spoke against the civil rights' bill.
This is the man who has closed his records to civil rights' investigators, and the man who once stated he would order the arrest of any F. B. I. Agent who attempted to investigate the jury boxes of his circuit.
There is a strong possibility that the people of Alabama may call this great Southerner to higher service.
It is certainly a distinct honor for me to present to you this morning Judge George Wallace of the 3rd Judicial Circuit of the Great State of Alabama.
Judge George Wallace delivered the following address to the members of the General Assembly:
Georgia and Alabama and their other sister Southern States must continue total resistance to the efforts of those in other sections to destroy constitutional government. I know that many millions of people in other parts of the nation are deeply grateful to the South for the militant defense of the constitution. We must never succumb to the idea of the few among us that the social and educational processes of the South are doomed--for this is not the case. The South has met many challenges in the past to its social and educational order.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1958

723

There is enough intelligence and dedication in the leadership of the South to maintain the status-quo, maintain peace and transquility among our people and continue our economic and industrial progress. We can maintain our social and educational order within the law. I do not recommend disobedience to the law, but legal and peaceable defiance within the law. The number one problem facing the American people which must be recognized by the Congress is Nat: onal Security. If this present session of the Congress can but rise to states manship, it will place this as the number one item on the agenda and place the pure political question of the so called Civil Rights as the last item on the agenda. While the preservation of our social and educational order, which is in the interest of all the citizens of the South is a definite problem, we must not overlook other pressing and important problems. Further industrialization of the South is a must. Rural industrialization--that is, industries for the small cities of the South, will help in some manner to solve the problem of dwindling farm income. Industrialization of the South will provide employment for thousands of our rural people. Industrialization of the South will strengthen this nation as nothing else can. Slowly but surely we are throwing off the past economic restriction upon the economy of the South and will come into our own if the South is allowed to utilize its full industrial potential. Such will make this nation stronger than any combination of nations on the face of the earth. In this manner, the development of the South could well prevent World War III.
The free world would become so strong that Russian imperialistic and ag gressive designs could be held in check. Nothing better could happen to the free world than for the South to emerge as a powerful industrial as well as agri cultural center. It has all the human, material, and natural resources necessary to immeasurably strengthen the nation. Yes, the South is the last Bulwark of democracy and the hope of the free world.

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

The President of the Senate announced the Joint Session dissolved.

The Speaker called the House to order.

The following resolution of the Houes was read and adopted:

Pursuant to Joint Resolution adopted by the House and Senate, the Senate appeared upon the floor of the House and the Joint Session convened for the purpose of hearing a message frm Senator Richard B. Russell, was called to order by the President of the Senate.

Accompanied by Governor Griffin, the Committee of Escort, and other dis tinguished guests, Senator Richard B. Russell appeared upon the floor of the House.

The Lieutenant-Governor presented Governor Marvin Griffin to the General Assembly, who in turn gave the following remarks in presenting Senator Richard B. Russell:
It is indeed an honor and a pleasure to introduce to you this morning an outstanding Georgian, an outstanding American, and an outstanding statesman. Surely in every sense of the word, Senator Richard B. Russell can walk with pride in each of these roles.
This outstanding public servant began his service to the people of Georgia in 1918 as a country lawyer in Winder. In 1921, he was elected to this same General Assembly and during that time he rose to occupy the seat of Speaker of the House.
In 1931, he took office as Chief Executive of the State of Georgia, and before his term expired in January of 1933, he was elected United States Senator.
He began his service on January 12, 1933, only two days after his term as Governor had expired, and since that day he has served con tinuously in the Senate of the United States.
For several years this outstanding statesman was the Senate's third man in seniority, while still Georgia's Junior Senator. He is be ginning his second year as Georgia's Senior Senator.
As a way of showing the great amount of respect his congressional colleagues had for him, he was named to the Senate Armed Services Committee as well as the all important Finance Committee. Over the years, Senator Russell has risen to Chairman of the Armed Services Committee and to the second seat on the Finance Committee.
More recently he has been elected Chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Caucus Committee. As a man of leadership, an expert on parliamentary procedure, and as a man of strong oratory, his Senate colleagues often look to him for advice and guidance.
In the 1948 Democratic Convention, Senator Russell received the greatest compliment and the highest honor that can be conferred on any man. His name was placed in nomination for the Presidency of

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1958

947

the United States. Again in Chicago in 1952, his name was placed in nomination for this office.
This high tribute which was twice given to this distinguished statesman makes the second time in the history of this nation when a Georgian has been placed in a position of contention to become President of the United States.
The first time was the election in the year 1824 in which the Honorable William H. Crawford ran for the office of President against Adams, Jackson and Clay.
History records that Crawford would have been overwhelmingly elected President had it not been for the extreme illness that prevented him from actively campaigning for this office. Crawford received 41 electoral votes.
Even so, this presidential election was thrown into the House of Representatives who elected John Quincy Adams.
Striking a close parallel with the situation which faced Crawford, is the suggestion today that Richard B. Russell was not elected Presi dent of the United States because his "geography was wrong".
Of course, we here in Georgia know that his geography is right.
We also know that his political philosophy is right and that he certainly would have made this nation the greatest President in its history.
It is with pleasure that I present to you Georgia's distinguished Senior United States Senator, the Honorable Richard B. Russell.

Senator Richard B. Russell gave a very informative address to the members of the General Assembly on the preservation of constitutional government.

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

The President of the Senate announced the Joint Session dissolved.

The Speaker called the House to order.

"THE STATES AND THE UNION"
LT. GOVERNOR VANDIVER; MR. PRESIDENT; MR. SPEAKER; MY GOOD FRIEND GENERAL COOK; MEMBERS OF THE GEN ERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE GREAT STATE OF GEORGIA:
It is with deep humility that I express my appreciation for the honor and graciousness of your invitation to appear here today.
I approach the task of addressing you this morning with some reservations. Our common ultimate goal of a more perfect Union is a profound subject. The message I bring is one that I hope is shared by an overwhelming majority of the ordinary people of the United States, who are at once citizens of the United States of the State in which they reside.
The Sovereign State of Georgia was the fourth State to ratify the Constitution, on January 2, 1788, one of only two States to do it by unanimous vote. New Hampshire claims the unique distinction of hav ing been the ninth State to ratify, on June 21, 1788, and the State whose signing created the Federal Government, nine States comprising the required number. Both Georgia and New Hampshire were among the original thirteen colonies, a term itself a misnomer because under the Articles of Confederation independent sovereign governments ex isted in each original State.
When the original thirteen States in convention assembled created a Federal Government, they were indeed sovereign. That they cher ished these powers is manifest in the Tenth Amendment to the Con stitution, by the terms of which the Sovereign States were very careful to emphasize that except for the powers delegated to the United States in the Constitution, all other powers were reserved to the States and to the people thereof. It is sometimes overlook that Article 1, section 10 of the Constitution specifically prohibits certain powers to the States. These include such obviously federal matters as treaties, coinage, tariffs, and compacts. And often overlooked is the Ninth Amendment, which sepcifies that the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Thus it is clear beyond dispute that the Fed eral Government possesses only those powers delegated to it in the Constitution. All other powers are reserved to the people and to the Sovereign States. It is significant that at the time of ratification, New Hampshire suggested a Bill of Rights and with Massachusetts recommended that a Bill of Rights protect the States from federal encroachment.
At the First Congress of the United States, held in New York City on March 4, 1789, the first ten amendments to the Federal Con stitution were adopted by the required number of States. Preceding the adoption of these amendments was a preamble which has an im portant bearing on their construction. This preamble read:
"The conventions of a number of the states having, at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added, and as extending the ground of public confidence in the government will best insure the beneficient ends of its institution:
"Resolved . . ."

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

These are difficult days for the States, as well as the Union. How often we have heard it said lately that though the concept of sov ereignty for the forty-eight States might have fitted days of the past, yet in an ever-diminishing world efficiency requires greater and greater concentration of power in a central government. This is the shortrange point of view. The responsibilities of citizenship in large meas ure rest upon State government, as well as upon each of us as indi viduals. As citizens of our State, and citizens of the United States, we acknowledge with all respect the proper sphere of action as well as the gravity of the awesome challenge to any man who occupies the position of President of the United States. With all of the vigor, loyalty and devotion at our command, we support the executive branch of the federal government as it seeks to protect the United States and each of the States from the challenge of the Soviet Union. That it should act in the protection of all of us from such external aggres sion was one of the basic purposes of the Federal Constitution. It was one of the important goals of the States in creating a federal gov ernment.
Yet by constitutional mandate the government of the United States is tri-partite as are the governments of almost all of our separate States. The judicial branch of the government of the United States is as much a part of the government and must share as much of the responsibility for government as either the legislative or the executive. Thus, when within the judicial branch there are repeated interpretations of the Constitution in derogation of the rightful powers of the State extending federal authority into fields wherein the Con stitution is silent and in which Congress itself has not acted, the States are bound to be rightfully concerned.
No matter the precise phrase there is little doubt but what that great instrument through which Americans have devised perhaps the most satisfactory method of community living under a government of law and not of men, is being tortured out of all rational historical proportion by decision after decision of the United States Supreme Court which ascribe less and less meaning and importance to the Tenth Amendment and greater and greater scope to interpretation of the general powers delegated to the Federal Government. These decisions in their cumulative aspect seek by judicial fiat to encourage a philoso phy of government patently contrary to that contemplated by George Washington and the great figures of our early constitutional period. Implicit in the rationale of recent decisions are certain basic assump tions concerning what is best for the American Way of life, in reality judicial legislation which amends the Constitution to a point of usurping what has always heretofore been considered the proper function of the constitutional convention in our pattern of government. Such expositions in equivocation confound and confuse the youth of America, who seek and deserve real understanding of proper constitutional rela tionship between State and individual, and between communism and capitalism.
What are our youngsters to think when they read of Communism and its absolute enmity for this country, hear Kruschev's promise that "We will bury you" and then hear the Supreme Court of the United States tell them a man can constitutionally be a lawyer and a Com munist at the same time in this country? What are they to think of a government that in eight years has not even been able to compel the

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1958

1035

Communist Party to register as an agent of an enemy power nor to obtain from the United States Supreme Court a determination of the constitutionality of the Internal Security Act of 1950?
I might say at this point that none of the remarks which I make here today should be construed as criticism of the institution of the Supreme Court in our system of government nor as a personal attack upon any of the individual Justices. It is the duty of a lawyer as an officer of the court to challenge those decisions which he believes to be harmful to the best interests of State or Nation. My criticism is of decisions, not of courts or personalities.
There can be little question but what the consequences of many of these decisions has been to disrupt Federal-State relations and to unnecessarily create friction and discord between the States and the United States Government. Crusading liberal philosophy on the ram page threatens to breach the dykes of States' rights, split the Tenth Amendment in two, and make the Fifth Amendment mean something its words do not say.
We in the States have a mission. It is not a crusade. It is a mis sion of practical and enduring importance. It may not conscionably be deferred to another year or another time. This mission is to stand together with our sister States and take effective action now to pre vent further concentration of power in Washington bureaucracy. Such concentration of power is a central government without the protection of Sovereign State Governments with constitutionally reserved powers as a check and balance, spells ultimately the end of rights of indi viduals, as well as the beginning of a new kind of totalitarianism, which on earlier pages of history has thereafter recorded the decline and fall of other nations that in relation to the world were then even greater than our own is now.
Much of what the United States Supreme Court has decided lately has been claimed to be in the protection of the individual. The Court has swung so far in this direction as to overly protect a motley collection of criminals, Communists, fellow-travellers, at the expense of an equally important obligation to protect some 170 million of lawabiding citizens and their local self-government. The principle of the rightful reserved powers of the States, properly preserved in a Federal-State partnership, has until now and will remain tomorrow the chief adhesive of our Union. This is not to say that there cannot be situations in which a State may by its actions dsny the protection of the Federal Constitution to United States citizens within its borders. There have been instances of this since the commencement of our judicial system. There will be instances in future days. For the de termination of such controversies the Supreme Court is necessary and proper. Yet the delicate balance between the States and the Federal Government, and between individual citizens and both governments, depends for its preservation upon the reasonable application of the law by the executive branch and its reasonable interpretation by the judiciary.
Perhaps the most grievous invasion of States' rights in this decade has been the decision of the Supreme Court in Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Steve Nelson. Here a majority of the Court not only invoked the highly suspect doctrine of supersession by implication in holding that Congress intended to preempt State sedition laws, but

1036

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

interpreted the Constitution to permit to the federal government the authority to take away from the States their reserved right to make criminal acts within their borders seeking overthrow of the govern ment of the United States by force and violence.
I have always believed it to be elemental that an act of sedition against the United States Government is an act of sedition against Georgia or New Hampshire, or any other State in the Union.
Subversion designed to overthrow the federal government by force and violence is in itself an immediate threat to the safety and constitutional security of each of the States. Other than in the District of Columbia or upon isolated locations of exclusive federal jurisdic tion, such criminal activity must of necessity take place within the confines and jurisdiction of a State. Decision that the duty of sup pressing such seditious criminal activity within a State is the exclu sive prerogative of the federal government--a prerogative which in cludes the power to decide not to act--is in fact to beggar the creation of a national police force. In country after county such a step has been basic to the achievement of totalitarian power by the human beings who happen to head the government of the moment.
It would be difficult to conceive of a greater shock to the Founding Fathers or the people of the original signatory States, which include our own, than to be told that at the time they drafted the greatest living document creating a republican form of government they had authorized the federal government to take away from the States their reserved police power to make it a crime to attempt to destroy or threaten their sovereignty by destruction of that same federal gov ernment which by that same document was charged with the responsi bility of protecting all of the States against external aggression.
The relationship between possible public disturbances and sub versive advocacy among loyal citizenry is plain. That some States may see fit to be tougher on subversives than others is their own business. The Constitution does not authorize the Federal Government in line, clause or by indirection to take away from the States their funda mental reserved police power to so legislate in their own self-defense.
Since this decision in the field of national security, several other decisions of the Supreme Court have repeatedly disregarded the pub lic record of Communist subversion both in this country and in many other countries around the world. It is notorious that responsible agencies within and without federal and state governments have con firmed that the Communist Party in this country is an arm of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union with the objective of the altera tion of the form of government of the United States to a Communist state by force and violence if necessary. Indeed, Americans require no confirmation of a fact which is no longer even page one news.
It is of the utmost importance that the people of America should keep abreast of Communist activity in this country. Of the greatest relavance to this continuing obligation is the question of previous membership in the Communist Party or previous knowing association with Communists or Communist-dominated organizations for any protacted period of time. While the latest responsible estimates of Com munist Party membership in the United States do not indicate a significant number--perhaps 20,000 persons--and there has been little

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1958

1037

formal organization of the Party for many years, and cards have not been carried since 1949--there are substantial numbers of persons who for reasons best known to themselves were members of the Com munist Party in earlier years in varying degrees of fanaticism. In this time, particularly since World War II, when the Communist leadership talks tough, acts tough, charges the United States with fomenting war, and supplies with arms and ammunition individuals and governments hostile to this country, it behooves us to keep a care ful watch of those whose allegiance is thus open to question. This survey must include every person who is or ever has been a member of the Communist Party even though there were periods in our history in which temporary membership is possibly colorless.
In the teeth of all these distressing international developments, a majority of the Supreme Court of the United States has equated Communist activity in this country with lawful politics. It has strongly intimated if not held that at least as far as good moral character is concerned, membership in the Communist Party is appar ently considered a mere matter of "political" association privileged under the First Amendment. It has told the State Bar Association in California that in its view there is no reasonable doubt about the good moral character of an applicant for admission to the bar who refused to tell the bar examiners whether he was at that time a mem ber of the Communist Party. It has told the bar examiners in New Mexico that contrary to their judgment and decision, it is denial of due process for them to refuse membership in the bar to an applicant who had a record of previous membership in the Communist Party and of several previous criminal arrests. It has rebuked Illinois in her internal rules of appellate procedure. It has denied to Nebraska the right to protect her citizens from the absolutism that is compulsory unionism.
It has prevented Michigan from ousting two local officials charged with crime. It has so restricted the period of detention and circum stance attendant upon a confession as to make it infinitely more difficult to maintain effective law enforcement. It has so extended the concept of navigable waters as to invade what has always hereto fore been considered the prerogative of the States in that field.
It has denied to the Legislature of the State of New Hampshire the power to investigate to determine whether the actual content of a compulsory lecture at a state-supported institution included subversive activity.
It has greatly interfered with the internal operations of the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation by requiring the F.B.I, reports from a witness called in a criminal prosecution be made available carte blanche to defense counsel. And this last in a case in which even defense counsel only sought to have the reports screened by the federal judge involved! In light of the fact that the F.B.I, does not have the subpoena power, such a decision makes it most unlikely that informants of crime will be willing to expose alibis or make accusa tions of serious crime against gangsters and racketeers and dangerous criminals, for the simple reason that if Johnny Dio is going to see the reports made to the F.B.I., which include names, places and other information, before Johnny is convicted and confined, the possibility of recrimination one would think too plain to miss.

1038

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

In all of these ways the Supreme Court has not only deprecated the States' interests in their own survival but has emasculated the Tenth Amendment. In practically none of these decisions was it neces sary to go to the lengths to which the decisions have gone to reach the conclusions apparently desired.
In Pennsylvania v. Steve Nelson, the record was replete with calumny and epithet between Steve Nelson and his trial judge. It was generally conceded among counsel for the prosecution and amici that a new trial was in order in the state court for this reason. But even here the High Court went all the way and suspended the enforceability of the sedition laws of all of the States, laws which had been on the books since before the Smith Act was ever adopted, a law which Representative Howard Smith, Chairman of the House Rules Commit tee, stated on the House floor at the time of adoption of the Smith Act, had nothing to do with State laws. And here also the High Court left wrapped in the bog of dicta the question of whether it had invali dated even State statutes making it criminal to seek the overthrow of the State government itself by force and violence, a power which I am certain no constitutional lawyer of integrity could ascribe to the federal government by any language of the Constitution or its amend ments.
This was done by intelligent jurists who since law school days have known the difference between dicta and decision. The cloud which the language of the Steve Nelson opinion has cast over state prosecutive and investigative functions debilitates the efforts of the States to work in partnership with the federal government in common cause of national and state security. The full consequences of the use of such language must have been known when it was written.
In the concurring opinion in Sweezy v. New Hampshire, two of the concurring justices adopted the view that the use of compulsory process for question and answer purposes in regard to the content of the college lectures was a denial of the freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment and any law permitting such a range of investi gation was in their view unconstitutional. The consequences of this concurrence were it to become the law of the land must leave individual citizens in America frustrated and helpless in the face of reasoning to a conclusion contrary to the literal right of government to selfpreservation.
Freedom does not and cannot mean freedom to destroy freedom in this country. Preservation of academic freedoms and the American Way of Life does not require the judiciary to constitute the campus an insulated cloister wherein the relevant question may not tread in seeking to detect the presence or absence of a virus that would poten tially destroy both academic freedom and the American Way of Life. I have never yet been able to understand how it can be said that cour teously questioning a person about what in fact he said or did either makes him say or do something different or scares the light of original thought out of him.
No matter the choice of words or the rationale of individual mem bers of the majority, it is plain that the elements of partnership in State and Federal government in the investigation of subversive activi ties and in many other fields ranging from North to South and from

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1958

1039

East to West, have by judicial decision been sharply limited if not destroyed.
We in New Hampshire, and I am sure you in Georgia, together with American citizens everywhere, are ever-mindful of the imperative need in a free society to preserve inviolate the constitutional rights of free political discussion. All of this is to the end that government may be responsible to the will of the people, and that changes, if desired, may be obtained by peaceful means. We recognize that therein lies the strength of our republic and the very foundation of constitu tional government.
Ever since the enactment of the original Smith Act in 1940, storms of controversy have raged concerning its desirability. Issue has been repeatedly joined on the basic question of whether it is better to let folks say anything they want as on the soap box in England, or to endeavor to prohibit that sequence of human expression which trans lates evil thought into evil action as the trigger fires the hammer which sets off the powder in the cartridge. Evolution of jurisprudence in this field has seen the clear and present danger test modified to include the probability of substantial danger. As it was said in Dennis, we should not have to wait until the putsch takes place.
I happen to believe the Smith Act to be a reasonable and advisable restriction on freedom of speech in part because of the influence upon youth that the clever professional subversive propagandist may have. Yet even here, in Yates v. United States, the High Court less than a year ago eviscerated the Smith Act's prescription of subversive advo cacy by saying that its language did not extend to the prohibition of advocacy or teaching the overthrow or alteration of the government of the United States or of any State by force and violence so long as such advocacy or teaching did not incite to the commission of an overt act in that direction. Such a subjective test, applied to advocacy of force and violence to effect the overthrow of this country, renders infinitely more difficult the task of State and Federal law enforce ment and has resulted in the freeing of numerous known subversives and has caused many to feel that the Court is now requiring some thing very close to the putsch before it will consider a statute relative to speech to be valid under the First Amendment. This is dangerous doctrine for America.
A determined few on the Supreme Court of the United States have by these decisions mortgaged if not destroyed the reasonable attempts of hardworking, loyal Americans such as J. Edgar Hoover and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Francis Walter and the Con gressional Committees, and State legislative fact-finding committees whose methods in the great majority of cases have in no manner been unfair or overreaching to keep check on the extent of Communist penetration and subversion in America. While Congress through legis lation can undo this harm to a large extent, the legislative process in such controversial fields is a long and difficult road.
When we stop to realize that not only has the High Court emascu lated our statutory law in the security field, but has also sanctioned protection of the dark corners of individual association with persons disloyal to America and made infinitely more difficult if not impossible the taking of sworn testimony relating to subversive activity in the United States, one wonders why? The Court appears to have sug-

1040

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

gested to America and to the world that in this land Communists and Communism may not in fact be something which they have proven to be in every other place in the world. This is an amazing phenomenon that probably cannot be explained by a claim that the authors of such decisions are out of touch with reality.
It should be fundamental American law that on issues of loyalty and security the life of every citizen must be an open book subject only to his right to take the Fifth Amendment and not the First Amendment.
In his Inaugural Address last month, my good friend Governor Almond of Virginia said:
"With the soothing assurance that this is all for our own good, our judicial surgeons have prescribed a massive political blood-letting and it is not the South only that is being leeched, it is the whole body of the Republic. Weakened by this cynical phle botomy, enervated by sweet anesthetic, the States gradually are declining to the insignificant role of dependent Federal satellites-- mere municipal provinces of Washington, suburbs of the Capitol. They are being drained of the vitality that has contributed so greatly to the nation's strength and the party is that an apathetic people lie indifferent to the enveloping evil."
My friends, it is now State responsibility--in Georgia, in New Hampshire, in California, and in every State in the Union--to act together to stem this continued flow of power to Washington. I am not speaking of economoc functions of government. In this field the President has appointed an important committee of Governors to explore what the States can responsibly undertake in transfer from Washington. This committee, of which Governor Dwinell of New Hampshire is Co-chairman, has an authority that is primarily economic in scope yet it has a vital mission because unless the States are willing to undertake the responsibility of administering functions which are now administered by the Federal Government, there can be no restora tion of such powers to the States. This important national committee is a sign of the good faith of the President in his promise to return to the States those functions they are willing and able to accept.
But committees and commissions, boards and agencies, are not the answer to repeated interpretations of the Supreme Court which by the process of judicial legislation ever narrows the influence and authority of the States.
While the process of constitutional amendment is available, it is also most unlikely, subjected to pragmatic test. Senator Thurmond of South Carolina has offered a resolution (S.J. Res. 145) to create a commission on federal and state jurisdiction. This is a salutary move and it should be implemented at the earliest opportunity. By insuring fair representation on such a commission, if Congress pays serious attention to its recommendations when its work is done there may result that recognition of an aroused public opinion that in some manner or other we must impress upon a majority of the Supreme Court.
If this is not done and if decisions such as these continue, I can see only tragedy ahead within these United States, because cooperation between the States and the Federal Government is a two-way street.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1958

1041

If the Federal Government wants cooperation from the States then the federal judiciary should permit extension of real cooperation to the States, for the proof of any pudding is in its eating. If bar asso ciations of the highest courts of the several States do not wish to qualify certain members as officers of their courts, the Supreme Court should not force them to do so. By assuming the ultimate question in review of such cases the High Court has arrogated to itself the twin functions of judge and jury in passing upon the protestations of sunlit innocence from such applicants. Perhaps the local bar examiners did not believe them.
Finally, with your permission I would like to address myself briefly to the problem of public education. In spite of the militancy of the radical National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the venomous bile of the Communist-dominated Civil Rights Con gresses, from both of which the South has suffered massive injections, many responsible citizens all over the country remain convinced that the normal function of control of public education is best preserved to the people by local action. This conviction has been the cornerstone of arguments of those who oppose federal aid to education, in fear of ultimate federal influence upon the textbook and the adolescent mind. The States through their elected representatives in the Con gress of the United States have never legislated to require racially integrated schools. Interpretation of the requirement of equal protec tion of the laws to force upon the people of a State a federal social precept contrary to their settled social mores is a radical change from precedent and custom. Unanimity of decision makes it neither more convincing nor more acceptable to the South.
There is not time today to discuss the legal niceties of the use of paratroops and bayonets at Little Rock. As a matter of fact it is of no particular importance as to whether executive action at Little Rock was technically lawful or unlawful. Hailed as a measure in protection of the rights of minorities, it in fact was probably the greatest insult to a state government that has ever transpired since our Constitution was adopted.
Who is to say that the determination of the Governor of Arkansas that he feared violence within his State if integration were forced at that particular time, was without foundation in fact? How can any of us in the States remain tranquil in the face of the prospect of the use of federal troops in aid of application of federal law when the federal Court had not itself exhausted its own contempt powers? If this precedent holds for future action in other fields, no State will have a vestige of sovereignty if every federal court construes federal law as supreme, declines to invalidate federal law under the Tenth Amendment and flashes a green light to the Pentagon.
All deliberate speed is a wise, even profound statement. It might be five years, it might be fifty. The principal of equal protection of the laws is preserved in such a formula obviating the risk of violence by deferring until such time as the social fabric of affected communi ties can adjust and accept what until heretofore has been as much anathema as the religious compulsions which led to the Protestant movement in early American history.
It is reasonably certain that bayonets and force are not the answer to human problems of bigotry and racial tension. I find the incident

1042

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

at Little Rock especially unfortunate because conservatives were com mencing to find bonds across party lines between North and South. This progress in gaining the support of people in the South, for gov ernmental policies helping business and personal freedom, which are better for America than anything offered from other sources, has now been largely undone by what happened in Arkansas. It is also especially unfortunate because while intelligent Americans, even with stars in their eyes, are convinced that we cannot compromise our moral prin ciples; being intelligent, they must recognize that neither can we be blind to commonsense application of personal values which are bound to encounter a great resistance to judicial or executive orders to jump into a melting pot--which has until now made America famous be cause of its free and voluntary quality. This element of compulsion in haste has worsened race relations in the United States. It has worsened the reputation of the United States in those vast areas of the world where colored people constitute a substantial majority. This is a greater tragedy for its lack of necessity.
This nation is composed of many languages, many races, many creeds, living together under a document which permits a good deal of give and take. The very flexibility of the Federal Constitution has insured its continued strength against stresses and strains which in other lands have seen as many as seventeen governments fall in two years. This document simply must not continue to be interpreted in such manner as to throw out of kilter the great divider between the powers of the States and the Federal Government--the Tenth Amend ment. The course of historical development of our United States must be turned from a direction of federal paternalism to one of enlightened cooperation between Sovereign States and the Federal Government-- each working in its own sphere, with recognized division of authority and responsibility, in a spirit of partnership and not adversity.
It should never be forgotten that we of the forty-eight States, acting through three-quarters of our Legislatures, can amend the Con stitution at any time. Thus, through the State Legislatures, we have under the Constitution itself a final negative upon any branch of fed eral authority. Impractical as it may seem to some, if the course of American history continues to divest the States of power to the point of provincialism, we must join in a common organization of interstate cooperation which through the State Legislatures can rectify these many wrongs to our separate State governments.
Gentlemen, the situation is serious, even appalling. We depend upon the federal government to protect us from our external aggres sors. All thinking citizens will support with their very lives, if need be, those powers of the federal government which are best exercised by the federal government for the common good. They will likewise opopse with all the vigor at their command those invasions of States' reserved powers that relegate the Tenth Amendment to the status of a wishful thought. The foundations of our American Way of Life and the principles in which we believe are not in conflict between Washington and Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington and Concord, New Hampshire, until some in Washington have failed to see the forest for the trees.
The persistent pattern of decisions of the High Court in this land has caused a restiveness which in the last analysis and short of constitutional amendment can only be resolved if a majority of the

membership of that High Court will return to the middle of the road. For the national welfare we ask nothing more. We can demand nothing less.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1
An Act creating the Milk Control Commission and defining its powers, duties, membership, and regulating the sale of milk, approved March 30, 1937 (Ga. Laws 1937, p. 247), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 9, 1945 (Ga. Laws 1945, p. 410), an Act ap proved February 8, 1951 (Ga. Laws 1951, p. 47), an Act approved February 11, 1952 (Ga. Laws 1952, p. 55), and an Act approved March 8, 1957, (Ga. Laws 1957, p. 342), is hereby amended by striking from Section 5 the words, "If, in any such election, a majority of the votes cast shall be favorable thereto, the provisions of this Act shall there upon apply within such milk shed and shall remain in force throughout the remaining life of this Act unless a majority of those entitled to vote shall petition the Commission to remove its orders and withdraw the provisions of such milk shed, in which instance the Commission shall withdraw its provisions and orders from such milk shed." and inserting in lieu thereof the following words:
"If, in any such election conducted for any milk shed under the provisions of this Act as existing at the time thereof, a majority of the votes cast shall be favorable thereto, the provisions of this

1068

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Act, as then or thereafter amended, shall apply within such milk shed and shall remain in force until a majority of those entitled to vote therein shall petition the Commission to declare the provivisions of this Act inapplicable in such milk shed, in which event, the Commission so shall declare, and thereafter the provisions of this Act shall not be applicable within such milk shed. The amend ment of this Act in 1951 designating the superior court judges to supervise elections hereunder or any other amendment hereto shall not be construed as heretofore or hereafter repealing the applica bility of this Act in any milk shed to which it applied at the time of any such amendment. This amendment to Section 5 of said Act is declaratory of legislative intent when heretofore the Milk Con trol Act has been amended and shall not be construed as indicating any previous contrary legislative intent."
so that Section 5, as so amended, shall read:
"Section 5. Upon its organization, the Commission shall desig nate natural marketing areas within the State, each of which shall constitute a milk shed, and the Commission may, from time to time thereafter designate additional milk sheds or combine two or more milk sheds in which this Act is effective; provided, how ever, that no two or more milk sheds, once having been designated by the Commission as such, shall be combined until the Commission shall call an election to be held in such milk sheds and unless a majority of these voting in each milk shed shall vote in favor of such combination; such election shall be held according to the procedure hereinafter set out for elections to determine whether or not this Act shall be applicable within the several milk sheds. After the designation of any milk shed and upon petition of the Commission therefor, the Commission shall notify in writing the judge of the superior court in whose circuit the milk shed is located that a petition has been filed for the holding of an election within such milk shed to determine whether or not the provisions of the Act shall be made applicable within such milk shed, whereupon it shall be the duty of the judge of the superior court to appoint two persons for holding said election in a milk shed; however, if the designated milk shed is located in more than one judicial cir cuit the judge in each judicial circuit affected shall appoint one person in their respective districts to hold and supervise the elec tion. The persons appointed to hold said elections shall declare and certify the result to the appointing judge or judges and said judge or judges shall certify the result of said election to the Commission. Each producer, producer-distributor, and distributor having a municipal or county permit to sell milk within the milk shed shall be entitled to one vote only. If, in any such election conducted for any milk shed under the provisions of this Act as existing at the time thereof, a majority of the votes cast shall be favorable thereto, the provisions of this Act, as then or thereafter amended, shall apply within such milk shed and shall remain in force until a majority of those entitled to vote therein shall petition the commission to declare the provisions of this Act inapplicable in such milk shed, in which event, the Commission so shall declare, and thereafter the provisions of this Act shall not be applicable within such milk shed. The amendment to this Act in 1951 desig nating the superior court judges to supervise elections hereunder or any other amendment hereto shall not be construed as hereto-

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1958

1069

fore or hereafter repealing the applicability of this Act in any milk shed to which it applied at the time of any such amendment. This amendent to Section 5 of said Act is declaratory of legislative intent when heretofore the Milk Control Act has been amended and shall not be construed as indicating any previous contrary legislative intent. The Commission shall advertise each election and make reasonable rules governing the conducting thereof. The decision of the Commission as to the results of any such election shall be final, but the provisions of this Act shall not apply within any part of this State except within any milk shed wherein a favorable election has been held as provided in this section. Upon holding a similar favorable election within the territory proposed to be added to any existing milk shed, the Commission may enlarge the geographical limits of any existing milk shed and thereupon the provisions of this law and all orders, rules, and regulations of the Commission then in effect in said existing milk shed shall be come effective in the milk shed as so enlarged. The Commission, in its discretion, at any time, may reduce the geographical limits of any existing milk shed. It is not the intention of this Act to limit its applicability to the geographical territory embraced in a milk shed; the specific intention of this Act is to provide for the complete economic regulation of all milk in any manner whatso ever handled, sold, distributed or consumed in any milk shed from the time of its production through its consumption, including any sales thereof outside of the milk shed prior to the milk entering the milk shed, That the expense of holding any election under the terms of this Act shall be defrayed from funds of the Milk Control Commission."
SECTION 2
Said Act, as amended, is further amended by striking Section 8 in its entirety and in lieu thereof inserting the following:
"Section 8. For the purpose of enforcing this Act, the Com mission, acting through the Chairman or an authorized agent, shall have access to, and may enter at all reasonable hours, all places where milk is being sold, offered for sale, stored, bottled, or manu factured into food products. The Commission, acting through the Chairman or an agent authorized by it, shall have power to inspect all books, papers, records, or documents in any place within the State for the purpose of ascertaining facts to enable the Commis sion to administer this Act.
"The members of the Commission, the chairman, and any other person having possession of such information pursuant to the pro visions of this Act, shall not divulge to any person, firm, or corporation the contents of any documents, papers, or record ex amined by any of them in the performance of their duties hereunder, or any information obtained by any of them in the course of his investigations, except as may be necessary or proper to ad minister and enforce the provisions of this Act, as may be perti nent to any hearing or proceeding before the commission or any member, officer, or representative thereof, as may be proper in any court, to the Department of Agriculture for use in administer ing the milk laws of this State, and to producers, upon written request by such producer, and any person violating the provisions

1070

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of this section shall be deemed to violate this Act and be subject to the provisions of Section 23 hereof.
"Whenever the chairman or the commission shall cause the books and records of a distributor or producer-distributor to be examined, the distributor or producer-distributor and producers concerned shall be notified of the results thereof within sixty days from the completion of such examination."
SECTION 3
Said Act, as amended, is further amended by striking Section 11 in its entirety and in lieu thereof inserting the following:
"Section 11. All persons required by this Act to be licensed shall pay such uniform license fees as may be fixed by the Com mission as follows: Each store shall pay an annual fee in advance, not to exceed Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($2.50). Each producer shall pay a fee not in excess of two cents for each one hundred pounds of milk produced. Each producer-distributor shall pay a fee, not in excess of two cents for each one hundred pounds of milk produced or received by him for any producer, producer-distributor or distributor. Each distributor shall pay a fee, not in excess of two cents for each one hundred pounds of milk received.
"Fees of producers shall be deducted from amounts payable to them for milk and remitted monthly to the Commission by the persons purchasing milk from the producer; amounts so deducted, until remitted, shall be held in trust as public funds for the benfit of the State of Georgia, subject in all respects to civil and criminal provisions of law applicable to misappropriation or failure to ac count for public funds of the State. Fees of producer-distributors and distributors shall be paid to the Commission monthly. All annual fees shall be due and payable in advance on or before the tenth day of each calendar year. All monthly fees shall be due and payable on or before the tenth day of the following calendar month. Fees not paid on the last day of the calendar month in which due and payable shall be considered as delinquent. All de linquent license fees may be collected by the State Revenue Com missioner in the same manner and subject to all of the same terms and conditions as provided by law for the collection of other delinquent taxes payable to the State. The license fees herein provided shall not be applicable to surplus milk; 'surplus milk' being that milk that is not used by a distributor or producerdistributor for processing or bottling into fluid whole, skimmed, chocolate or flavored milk or drink, buttermilk, fluid cream, ice cream, ice milk, egg nog or other dessert, ice cream or ice cream mixes."
SECTION 4
Said Act, as amended, is further amended by striking sub-section (ii) of Paragraph (d) of Section 19 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"(ii) To promote a proper balance between supply and de mand. Each such order shall provide that the price to be paid to producers shall be upon such base-excess and utilization plan as the Commission shall determine advisable, including the following

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1958

1071

provisions. For each milk shed there shall be established an annual producer based period; said base period shall be not less than four consecutive calendar months and shall be that period which the Commission shall determine the supply of milk to ap pear most nearly the normal demand for fluid consumption. The beginning date of such base period for any milk shed shall not be modified except after notice in writing thereof mailed to each licensed producer in such milk shed at least twelve months prior to the different beginning date the Commission intends to estab lish. The producers milk base to be used in computing the price to be paid to producers shall be a three year average of the annual base; provided, however, in order to effectuate the tran sition into the three year average milk base, the 1958 annual milk base shall constitute the said average milk base. The 1959 average milk base shall be ascertained by averaging the 1959 annual milk base with two-thirds of the 1958 annual milk base with the 1958 annual milk base is multiplied by three. The results of the average from the preceding sentence shall be the 1959 average milk base. The 1959 average milk base shall be ascertained by averaging the 1958, 1959 and 1960 annual milk bases. Thereafter, the average milk base shall be determined by averaging the three most current annual milk bases. An average milk base shall be effective at the end of the base period for the next twelve months.
"A licensed producer and a licensed distributor or producerdistributor may agree to the transfer of his established average milk base to another milk shed after thirty days' notice has been given to all producers who supply the distributor or producerdistributor that he is transferring to.
"A new producer in a milk shed and a distributor may estab lish a base by agreement after giving thirty days' notice to all pro ducers who supply the distributor. The first annual base shall constitute the average milk base as described above and, in the event the producer does not earn an annual base as large as the agreed amount, then he must use the actual annual earned base.
"All milk received by a distributor or producer-distributor during any pay period which is not part of such an established annual base period from any licensed producer in excess of the aforesaid average of such producer's 'base milk' and from any source except from producers licensed hereunder to sell in the milk shed shall constitute excess milk during such pay period. Each price establishing order shall establish respective prices pay able to producers for milk utilized by the purchaser in two or more use classifications, as determined and defined by the Commission, whereby the highest price is applicable to milk resold for human consumption as fluid whole milk and the lowest price is applicable to milk received by purchaser which cannot be resold or can be used only for manufacturing into a product such as cheese or ice cream. Each such order further shall provide that all milk used by the purchaser for the highest or higher priced classification or classifications shall be deemed to have been used, pro-rata, first from base milk received from licensed producers and from excess milk only after such base milk has been allotted to such classificacation or classifications, and that all milk used by the purchaser for the lowest or lower price classification or classifications shall

1072

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

be deemed to have been used, pro-rata, first from base milk only when total base milk exceeds the uses in the higher priced classifi cation or classifications. Producer prices established hereunder may be subject to adjustment up or down on account of butterfat content respectively in excess of or less than an average standard, provided that purchasers not equipped to weigh and test milk re ceived may be permitted to purchase upon a reasonable comparable flat gallonage basis without butterfat differential adjustment.
"The provisions of this sub-section as to a three year average milk base shall be applicable in a milk shed until a majority of the license producers in any milk shed shall petition the Commission to abandon as to that milk shed the three year average milk base. Upon the filing of such a petition, the Commission shall prescribe the method of establishing producers' bases and the base making period or periods therefor at any time. It is the purpose of this' paragraph to provide that a majority of the producers in a milk shed may elect whether to remain on a three year average milk base period or to remain on a base and base making period, as prescribed by the Commission. A majority of the license producers in any milk shed may elect whether to operate under the three year average milk base or on a base as determined by the Com mission.
SECTION 5
Said Act, as amended, is further amended by striking from Section 23 sub-paragraph (c) in its entirety and in lieu thereof inserting the following:
"(c) Whenever it shall appear that any person has sold milk in any milk shed in which the provisions of this Act apply and such person shall not hold a currently effective license so to sell milk as herein provided, the chairman, using such force as is neces sary, at any time or from time to time thereafter, may cause any milk in the possession of such person within the milk shed to be adulterated with an appropriate tasteless coloring substance which is not injurious to persons or animals, but which clearly will identify such milk as being unlawful to sell for human consump tion. The chairman first shall give such person written notice of his intent so to act at least ten (10) days prior thereto, and if such person, within eight (8) days after such notice is served upon him, shall apply for a license and shall pay all license fees due and payable by him, the chairman shall not proceed so to adulterate any of such person's milk unless and until the application shall be denied for cause after opportunity for hearing as hereinabove provided."
SECTION 8
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1
Code Section 95-1909 which pertains to the maintenance of over passes and underpasses constructed under what is known as the Gradecrossing Elimination Law, as the same was amended by an Act approved February 17, 1950 (Ga. Laws 1950, p. 419) is amended further by in serting after the words "August 23, 1927" in subsection (a) of said Section the following: "for the purpose of elimination of grade-cross ings".

(a) It shall be the duty of the Department in the case of State roads, to maintain all overpasses as defined by section 95-1901, hereafter constructed or which have been constructed or substan tially reconstructed since August 23, 1927, for the purpose of the elimination of grade-crossings even though such overpasses may have been constructed or reconstructed wholly or in part with Federal funds.
(b) It shall be the duty of the railroad company or companies to maintain underpasses, as defined by section 95-1901, hereafter constructed or which have been constructed or substantially recon structed since August 23, 1927, except the lighting, drainage, and pavement of the roadway thereunder which forms a part of the highway or public road.
(c) All maintenance herein required by the department shall be at the expense of the Department, and all maintenance herein required by the railroad or railroads shall be at the expense of such railroads: Provided, however, the duty of maintenance im posed upon the Department by this section shall not operate to subject the department to liability on account of damages resulting from any failure of such maintenance.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the duty and obligation of maintaining overpasses on county public roads shall remain and continue as provided by the original section 95-1909 of the Code of 1933, but the burden of maintenance of underpasses on such county roads shall be as provided by this section; and where an overpass on any county road is constructed with a floor or wood, it shall be the duty of the railroad or railroads to maintain such floor at its or their own expense.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, when an overpass or under pass has been constructed, not for the purpose of eliminating an existing grade crossing by relocation or change of grade, as pro vided in this Chapter, but for the purpose of creating a new and additional highway crossing over an existing railroad for any of the roads provided for under the provisions of the 'Federal Aid Highway Act of 1944 with Acts amendatory thereof and supple mentary thereto the maintenance of such overpass or underpass shall not be the responsibility of the railroad, provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to in any manner change or broaden the definition of a 'bridge', as set forth in Section 95-1001 of the Code of Georgia of 1933, as amended, nor to create any legal liability upon the part of the State of Georgia or any political subdivision thereof for the defective con struction or maintenance of any such underpass."
SECTION 2
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

In addition to the foregoing, such trust indenture may con tain such other provisions as the Association may deem advisable, reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All ex penses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as a part of the cost of maintenance, operation and repair of the project affected by such indenture or an administrative expense of the Association.

The Speaker ordered the following report of the Committee to study the Osteopathic Profession incorporated in the Journal:

1184

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OP GEORGIA
State Capitol
Atlanta, Georgia
January IS, 1958
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE OSTEOPATHIC PROFESSION TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
The Committee to Study the Osteopathic Profession in undertak ing and carrying out its legislative responsibilities held hearings, vis ited three osteopathic colleges and the Medical College of Georgia, and received in evidence extensive documents and publications relating to the training of physicians and surgeons of the osteopathic school of medicine and other physicians and surgeons. This report summarizes for the General Assembly the opinions of the Committee members and submits in bill form a legislative proposal based upon our study for your consideration and approval. 1. Nature of Problem.
Doctors of osteopathy are licensed pursuant to Chapter 84-12, Code of Georgia, and are specifically authorized to practice in the following manner:
84-1209. (1739) License to practice authorizes what.--The license provided for in this Chapter shall authorize the holder to practice osteopathy as taught and practiced in the legally incor porated and reputable colleges of osteopathy, as provided for in this Chapter: Provided, however, osteopaths shall be authorized for the alleviation of pain only to use, mix, prepare, dispense and administer certain narcotic drugs, to-wit, those narcotic drugs or their derivatives, the sale or dispensing of which is regulated by The Federal Act known as "The Harrison Narcotic Act," as amended, said Act being set out in 26th U.S.C.A. Int. Rev. Code, Section 3220 et seq.
This statute was enacted in 1909 and no substantial amendments have been made to the Act since that date. The narcotic provision was enacted in 1941 to clarify that the right to use narcotics was included under the law despite a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision in 1940 to the contrary.
Under this statute approximately 73 doctors of osteopathy are licensed and engaged in practice in Georgia at the present time. Each one of these doctors has complied with the statutory requirements of the Georgia Osteopathic Practice Act which is administered by the Board of Osteopathic Examiners in consultation with the Joint Secre tary of Examining Boards. The law requires a doctor to have 2 years pre-medical college study and 4 years education and training in an approved osteopathic college. (Neither the osteopathic or medical act requires that a doctor have an internship). The board examines applicants in all basic medical subjects, including the use of drugs and operative surgery under the various listed subjects. A qualified applicant is then licensed to practice osteopathy, must annually renew his license with the Joint Secretary, and is subject to disciplinary control and regulation by the Board of Osteopathic Examiners, The

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1958

1185

Joint Secretary, Attorney General and Georgia Bureau of Investiga tion assist the Board of Osteopathic Examiners in the enforcement of the law.
The 73 licensed doctors of osteopathy are located in 41 cities and towns in Georgia with only 16 D.O.s located in Atlanta. These doctors practice as taught in osteopathic colleges as permitted by law, caring for all human ailments and diseases, and using drugs and operative surgery when needed and indicated. (One of the doctors in Atlanta is a Medical Officer of the United States Public Health Service as signed to the Communicable Disease Center.) They operate and main tain several small hospitals and clinics outside of Atlanta. With the large percentage of doctors located in rural Georgia their services are recognized as essential to the maintenance of available medical and surgical care in the less highly populated areas of the state.
The doctors of osteopathy are interested in increasing the number of osteopathic physicians practicing in Georgia. They are particu larly concerned over the shortage of doctors in rural Georgia and believe that their profession can be of help in meeting the acknowl edged need for doctors in such areas. (The medical profession admits that more doctors are needed in rural Georgia.) In 1943 the Medical Scholarship Act was passed providing $1,000 per year to students who would agree to practice in rural Georgia after graduation from the Medical College of Georgia.
The Medical Association of Georgia and individual doctors of medi cine continually question or challenge the lawful scope of practice permitted doctors of osteopathy thus discouraging more doctors of osteopathy from practicing in the state. This attitude of the Medical Association creates dissension and confusion in the minds of the public, patients and the doctors. Ill will and controversy is stimulated, with neither the Medical Association or Osteopathic Association retracting one bit from their stated positions of separately working to improve the public health.
The Georgia Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons repeatedly since the end of World War II has had introduced bills to clarify the Osteopathic Practice Act. The only opposition to the clari fication of the law comes from the Medical Association. The hearings on the bills have raised the following issues and it is the facts per taining to these issues that this Committee decided needed to be answered in its study of the osteopathic profession.
(1) Are doctors of osteopathy trained and educated to use all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and modalities, including drugs, manipulation and operative surgery? Answer: Yes.
(2) Do colleges of osteopathy educate student doctors in the basic science and clinical medical and surgical subjects on the same basis as do medical colleges? Answer: Yes.
(3) Are graduates of the osteopathic colleges trained in clinical hospital practice as a part of their education? Answer: Yes. All osteopathic colleges utilize general teaching hospitals providing full medical and surgical care.
(4) Do osteopathic graduates take hospital internships and has the osteopathic profession organized specialty boards in surgery,

1186

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

obstetrics, psychiatry, dermatology, gynecology and the various other medical specialties? Answer: Yes.
(5) Have we in Georgia accepted the osteopathic profession upon the same legal basis as for example it is accepted under state law in such states as Missouri where 2 of the osteopathic colleges are located, one at Kansas City and one at Kirksville, Missouri? Answer: No.
(6) Why does the Georgia Legislature continue to be the center of an osteopathic and medical controversy when other state legislatures have long ago resolved this problem? Answer: Failure to clarify the law.
(7) What is the status of the osteopathic profession under laws enacted by the United States Congress of which a large number of the leaders of both the Senate and House are distinguished citizens of Georgia? Answer: Equal to that of doctors of medicine.
With the answers to the above questions in its possession the Committee agreed it would be able to intelligently make recommenda tions to the General Assembly relating to the osteopathic profession. 2. Aims and Objectives of the Osteopathic Profession.
The osteopathic profession is composed of approximately 13,000 doctors located in the 48 states, District of Columbia, and the Terri tory of Hawaii. A very small number are located in foreign countries. All but approximately 350 of the doctors in the United States are located in the 36 states, District of Columbia and Territory of Hawaii where the doctors are eligible to receive an unlimited license to care for all human ailments and diseases and to use drugs, manipulation and operative surgery. The profession and its six colleges demand that a doctor of osteopathy be trained and qualified in all fields and areas of medicine and surgery. The colleges place emphasis on training physicians for general practice. The colleges emphasize the importance of the musculo-skeletal system of the body in the care and treatment of sick persons, and train all their students in the use of manipulation, as well as drugs and surgery. The inclusion of this phase of medicine does not decrease or alter the accepted place of medical and surgical subjects in the curriculums. Medical schools also teach physical medi cine as a part of their curriculums and are not in agreement as to how much time should be devoted to this subject. Not all doctors of medicine are trained in manipulation, altohugh there are medical text books and articles in medical journals on manipulation and musculoskeletal system. Many M.D.s use manipulation in their practices.
Our visits to the Kansas City College of Osteopathy and Surgery, the Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery and the Chicago College of Osteopathy evidenced that in Missouri and also in Illinois the public in the area surrounding the colleges look upon the schools as medical centers. The colleges all have general hospitals, out-patient clinics, and facilities comparable to the general hospitals in our own state. One new osteopathic hospital has 550 beds and another has 425 beds both connected with a college or used in the teaching program. The profession indicates that it believes it is making an important contribution by training the only doctors who in the practice of car ing for all human ailments and diseases can utilize manipulation as well as drugs and surgery. It is their position that a doctor of osteo pathy can only determine what therapy a patient needs by a complete diagnosis on the same scale as offered by a doctor of medicine and

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1958

1187

that only the patient's condition can be the determining factor in deciding what will help the patient. No law it is said should divide the field of medicine, so that a doctor can not do all that a patient's condition demands. While this statement has particular force in rural communities where doctors practice alone and often a good distance from other doctors it is applicable to conditions also in the cities.
The aim of the profession today is therefore to train competent physicians and surgeons who will locate in all the areas of the coun try. It is interested in increasing the number of doctors in states not having a proper ratio of D.O.s to the population of the state. In states like Georgia with an admitted need for doctors the profession finds it hard to understand why an effort is not made to increase the number of doctors by clarifying the law regulating osteopathic practice.
Statistics taken from the 1956 American Medical Directory give the following distribution of doctors of medicine in Georgia and to the Committee was further evidence of the need for careful attention being given our report.

3. Standards of Professional Education and Training of Doctors

Premedical College Education
Professional Medical Education Hospital Internship Residency Training

Osteo. College 3 years or more
4 years Voluntary, 1 year Voluntary, 3 years

Medical College
3 years or more (One school only 2 years) 4 years Voluntary, 1 year Voluntary, 3 years

All six of the osteopathic colleges and all medical colleges except Harvard Medical College require a student to have completed 3 year pre-medical college education. The 4 year professional course in medi cal and osteopathic colleges are equivalent. This Committee saw the same type of facilities, equipment and plan of teaching in the osteo pathic colleges that we saw at the Medical College of Georgia. The facilities of the Medical College of Georgia are more expensive to build and maintain and are public property receiving state tax-support. The osteopathic colleges are non-profit corporations and the only tax money they receive are from grants allocated by the United States

1188

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Public Health Service to assist in the teaching in cancer, cardiovascular and mental illnesses. The Philadelphia College of Osteopathy receives an annual grant of about $240,000 a year from the Pennsylvania Legis lature. The new teaching hospital of the College of Osteopathic Phy sicians and Surgeons was built with the proceeds of a $10,000,000.00 bond issue of Los Angeles County, California.
No medical or osteopathic college requires a hospital internship as a basis for granting the degree M.D. or D.O. Approximately 99% of the graduates of both schools today voluntarily take an internship. Only about 24 states require an internship as a basis for unlimited licensing of M.D.s or D.O.s In 3 of the osteopathic hospitals we visited internes were on duty carrying out their intern training program. Both the medical and osteopathic professions require a minimum of 3 years residency training in one of the fields of medicine and surgery in order to qualify for specialty approval. No state licensing law requires any such extended specialty training. All states license all M.D.s to perform all surgery, either on the basis of the M.D. degree alone or at the most a hospital internship and the same can be said for D.O.s in 36 states, D.C. and T.H.
Evidence in our files establish that there are very considerable differences between the finances, budget, faculty, facilities and organi zation of the medical colleges. One book in our file Medical Schools in the United States at Mid-Century gives detailed information in this regard and evidences a need for many medical schools to undertake a program of improvement recommended for them. The osteopathic colleges likewise recognize that like the medical colleges they have areas of needed improvement. Strenuous efforts are being made by both medical and osteopathic colleges to raise money for needed expansions, and there is some hope that public and private funds will soon be available.
Georgia D.O.s are educated in one of the six osteopathic colleges. We visited 3 of the schools and can state that they are similar in character and organization, and that each of them train their student doctors in drugs and surgery.
We visited the Medical College of Georgia. Most of us were al ready familiar with it. We can be proud of it. The M.D.s in our state have not all graduated from it however. The M.D.s in our state come from different medical colleges located all over the country. In 1956 alone M.D.s were licensed in Georgia from 18 different medical colleges in the United States and Puerto Rico. 5 M.D.s were licensed who were educated in medical colleges in Austria, Cuba, Estonia and Greece. Evidence in our files indicates that the quality of medical education in foreign countries is not up to the standards of medical and osteopathic education in the United States. In the years from 1946 to 1956 51 M.D.s were licensed who graduated from foreign medical colleges, 32 by examination and 19 by reciprocity. The Com mittee finds it hard to understand how any objection can be made to osteopathic education when the admittedly inferior training of foreign medical colleges is accepted.
4. Status in Other States and Under Federal Law.
In 36 states, the District of Columbia and the Territory of Hawaii legislative acts clarifying the unlimited practice privileges of doctors of osteopathy have been enacted. Some date as far back for their

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1958

1189

legislative approval as 1900. Every doctor of osteopathy in Texas has been licensed to practice medicine and surgery since 1907. Florida and Tennessee, our neighboring states, have clear laws. The D.O.s in Georgia, our study indicates, are asking for no more. Only some 350 D.Os in the whole country are practicing under a law needing modernization.
We are able to find no difference in the education and training of the D.O.s in Georgia and the D.O.s in other states. Some D.O.s in Georgia have practiced in the other states before coming to Georgia. Others have left Georgia and located in the other states without more than a few days interruption in practice. The D.O.s in Georgia attend the same post-graduate programs and refresher courses as the D.O.s in other states. Georgia D.O.s are recognized in the osteopathic col leges and professional organizations on the same level and basis as D.O.s in the other states. Nothing would prevent the D.O.s in Georgia leaving our state and going to practice in one of the other 38 states except the desire of these doctors to remain in Georgia and help our people. These D.O.s in turn, it also should be recognized, are citizens of Georgia and merit the same consideration under Georgia law as do our other citizens.
Under federal laws D.O.s hold the same approximate status as do doctors of medicine. Here in Atlanta a D.O. serves as a medical officer of the United States Public Health Service and, in that capacity, holds the exact same legal position as do his fellow medical officers with the degree M.D. Doctors of osteopathy serve as medical officers of the Veterans Administration. They are eligible to serve as medical officers of the Armed Forces. They may perform all of the varied duties required under federal laws to be performed only by physicians and surgeons. The colleges receive federal tax funds (which funds are composed in part of Georgia tax payments) to help in their teaching and research programs, all under the supervision of the United States Public Health Service. All but a few of these laws were passed by the United States Congress while such Georgia leaders as Senator Richard Russell, Congressman Vinson, the late Senator George, and others elected from Georgia held important posi tions in the Congress.
5. Recommended Legislative Bill for the General Assembly.
This report is concluded with the submission of the attached legislative bill. This bill will establish modern educational require ments and enforcement provisions for the licensing and practice of doctors of osteopathy. It makes the standards of Georgia second to no other state and our study indicates will in the years ahead help to bring new and responsible young doctors to Georgia to take care of our people. The General Assembly will have responsibly acted upon the matter of the licensing of doctors and osteopathy and no organi zation or person can say that this recommended action was not taken without a full and complete study of the matter. Our files contain information on every phase of medical education and practice. Our visits to both the medical and osteopathic colleges fully informed the Committee. As legislators it is now our recommendation that the General Assembly act in accordance with the interests of our people and the public health by enacting into law this needed legislation.
SUBJECT: Notes on the Visit of Georgia Senate-House Study Com-

1190

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

mittee on Osteopathic Education to the Kansas City Col lege of Osteopathy and Surgery, Kansas City, Missouri, on Tuesday, October 8, 1957.
The Committee arrived at the Kansas City College at approxi mately 10:00 A.M. We were met by Dr. J. M. Peach, the President, and Dr. K. J. Davis, the Dean, in the College Administration Building. Dr. Peach explained the physical plant used by the College as con sisting of the (1) College Administration and Clinic Building, (2) Basic Science Building, (3) Conley Maternity Hospital, (4) the Osteopathic Hospital and Clinical Building, (5) a new Diagnostic and Treatment Center. The Diagnostic and Treatment Center (5) was about 95% complete at the time of our visit, but will not be ready for use until about December 1, 1957. This new building costing approximately $350,000.00 will be used to provide diagnostic and treatment service to out-patients by students in training under the supervision and direction of the medical staff of the College.
The administrative officers stated that we were free to see and examine all records and facilities of the College. Representatives C. J. Broome and Ben B. Ross had already on the preceding night attended a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the College held at the Continental Hotel and had heard at that meeting official reports of the executive and administrative officers of the College. The mem bers of the Board of Trustees are prominent business men of Kansas City. The College is incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under Missouri law.
The College has 381 students in all, 105 freshmen, 92 sophomores, 101 juniors and 83 seniors. The preprofessional college education of the freshmen class in all was as follows: 80 had had 4 years or a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, 6 had a master's degree, 2 a Ph.D. and 17 students had had only 3 years college study. Dr. Peach explained in detail while the Committee was in his office the procedures followed by the American Osteopathic Association in accrediting the College, and the assistance received by the College from the U. S. Government in money grants-in-aid under the U.S. Public Health Service to the teaching programs in cancer, mental and cardiovascular diseases. The grants total approxi mately $75,000 a year.
Our next activity was to visit the Basic Science Building, a 3 story structure housing the laboratories for the teaching of anatomy, histology and pathology, physiology and pharmacology, bacteriology, biochemistry, and certain classrooms. As we proceeded through the building we observed freshmen and sophomore students engaged in laboratory work, dissection and classroom instruction. Dr. R. K. Wolfer, Ph.D. of the Department of Anatomy, was supervising the freshmen students in the dissection of human cadavers. One-half of the students were working on the dissection of the upper extremities and one-half on the lower extremities of the cadavers. In the Pathology Laboratory, Dr. W. A. Voit, Senior Resident in Pathology, explained the purpose and function of the Department of Pathology. Pathological tissues preserved for instruction were discussed. The procedure fol lowed in making studies of human pathology for diagnostic purposes was gone over. Some 58,000 slides of human tissue were on file. It was explained that the Pathology Department may do pathological studies for Osteopathic hospitals in other areas if they do not have

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1958

1191

a full-time pathologist available at such other hospitals. Both the medical and osteopathic professions had a shortage of trained pathologists. In the Physiology Laboratory students under the direction of Dr. Crane were studying the ventricular and auricular heart move ments of a turtle resulting from electrical and drug stimulation and suppression. The hearts of the turtles were exposed and two students were conducting the experiments on each turtle through electrical wires and administration of drugs. Connected with this laboratory was a live animal room where other animals, including rabbits, were observed available for teaching purposes. In the classroom a lecture in bac teriology was being conducted by Dr. R. G. Taylor.
From this building we crossed a parking area and entered the Conley Maternity Hospital, having some 30 hospital beds, bassinets, 2 delivery rooms, nursery, and offices for the doctors on the staff. No deliveries were in progress, but Dr. Lee Davidson, Associate Pro fessor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, stated that in the earlier morning hours 4 patients had been delivered. Approximately 1,300 babies are born in the hospital each year. The various hospital rooms were observed; babies in the nursery and isolation unit were seen, but because of regulations of the Kansas City Department of Health not entered. We entered the two delivery rooms, observing the delivery table, surgical instruments, various medical equipment and supplies. Students, it was stated, either assisted in deliveries or could observe through observation rooms. It was stated that actual participation in the deliveries by students was the usual method of acquiring experi ence and that use of observation rooms was on the decline in both medical and osteopathic colleges. We did not talk with any patients out of consideration for their privacy, but were free to do so if we desired. The hospital was staffed by registered and practical nurses. The staff included licensed doctors, residents in obstetrics and gynecology, and students in training.
Next we observed and went through the new Diagnostic and Treat ment Center, a new nearly completed two story building constructed in part with federal funds. This building will provide extensive facili ties for the instruction of students in the diagnosis and treatment of out-patients who come to the institution. Students and staff physicians will have individual offices for use in examining patients while on duty. This new building is connected to the main Administration Building.
Next we went through the medical library and saw the rows of medical books and the latest medical and osteopathic publications. About seven students were in the library at the time. The library is in a building next to the Administration Building.
On the next floor were the surgical patients and a large surgical suite composed of major and minor surgery operating rooms. In the major surgery an appendectomy was being performed by one of the staff surgeons assisted by a resident surgeon and students. Students were also watching the operation from an observatory window with the comments of the surgeon being heard by loud speaker. We saw the obstetrical department where we saw two obstetrical delivery rooms. No deliveries were in process, but numerous babies could be seen through the window to the nursery. On the general medical floor patients with the usual medical diseases and ailments were hospitalized. The care of these patients is under the osteopathic medical group of

1192

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

which Dr. Tilley is Chairman and Dr. Pearson a member. Special equipment used in the diagnosis of disease were observed including special equipment in the heart field.
In this hospital the staff members in the various medical and surgical fields have offices grouped together as units and so organized that they are easily accessible to the out-patient clinic where the students in their junior year receive practical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Across the street from this hospital is the Laughlin Hospital a privately owned 89 bed hospital also used in the clinical instruction of students in drugs and surgery. Nearby also are several nursing and convalescent homes owned by the College.
We next proceeded to the George A. Still Memorial Building used in the teaching of anatomy and physiology. We observed the freshmen students dissecting human cadavers as they learn anatomy. One of the students in this class was Robert L. Marshall of St. Simons Island, Georgia. We discussed with him the training he was receiving and he expressed his hope that the Georgia Legislature would make some provision for the practice of osteopathic medicine and surgery in Georgia so that he could return to his home state. In this building, we also observed certain physiological experiments being performed on animals. Dr. Olwen Gutensohn explained the purpose of certain re search equipment used in determining muscular and nerve patterns of human beings. This College had certain other very specialized research equipment and facilities which were displayed. Part of the research program, we were informed, is or was subsidized by a U.S. Navy Research Grant. This college like the Kansas City College receives annual teaching grants from the United States Public Health Service for cardiovascular, mental and cancer disease teaching pro grams.
Closely related to the clinical teaching of the junior and senior students, we were informed, are the Rural Extension Clinic Services established in eight towns near Kirksville where students get practical training in the problems of rural health. Time did not permit us to travel to these Clinics, but we were given THE MANUAL OF PRO CEDURE OF RURAL EXTENSION CLINICAL SERVICES (AP PENDIX A) describing in detail what a student should do and learn while on duty at these clinics.
From there we went back to the Administration and Clinic Build ing where on the second floor we saw some more classrooms and one class in session. From here we went to the present Out-Patient De partment where staff and student doctors examine and care for out patients at the present time. The out-patient departments or clinic of the College render low-cost medical care to a large number of peo ple. The clinic is divided into the various specialties such as eye, ear, nose and throat, internal medicine, etc. At this school the obstet rical out-patient clinic is in the Conley Maternity Hospital. In the hallway of the clinic we encountered one Georgia student, Rudolph H. Edwards of Whigham, Georgia. He has a B.S. degree from the Uni versity of Georgia. He is a junior student. We were all introduced to him. In response to our questions, he expressed a hope that by the time he graduates in 1959 the situation might be such legally that he would be permitted to return to Georgia to practice. He is interested

in practicing in a rural part of the state, but would not come back to Georgia unless he can use all of his education and training in the use of drugs and surgery as needed by his patients.

We then returned to the President's office where we discussed such matters as the states where the graduates locate after internship and the fact that a limited law as we have in Georgia prohibits doctors from coming to our state.

Next the Committee went by car to the Osteopathic Hospital, the teaching hospital owned by the College. This five story brick hospital is located several miles from the College. This building with its at tached clinical building where the full time faculty members have offices constitutes along with Conley Maternity Hospital the major teaching hospital. In all, the College has approximately 180 beds for instruction of the students. President Peach and Dean Davis also took us through this hospital. We started out on the fifth floor and went through the whole building. On the fifth floor we went through the surgical facilities. There were two major surgery rooms and several minor surgery rooms in addition to rooms for a blood bank, surgical supplies and the usual equipment found in any hospital having surgical cases. The surgical schedule for that day which was on the billboard in surgery was as follows:

While we were there, from the hallway we observed some eight or nine doctors, residents in surgery and students engaged in the opera tion listed for 9:30 A.M. under Dr. Di Renna, the Surgeon in Chief for this operation. It had been delayed, for it was about 12:00 N. when we were in surgery. Dr. Yasso was the D.O. in charge of the anesthesiology. The surgery room was large and had modern equipment usually noticed in medical hospitals. (Later that day Dr. Di Renna and Dr. Yasso came to our hotel and went over in detail the operation with Senators Quill Sammon and Grover Newman, explaining the different parts taken by the student, resident, and himself. He stated the woman was undergoing a good recovery. Dr. Yasso explained his part as anesthetist and the great advance made in anesthesiology in recent years. Both men are D.O.s and had received both their undergraduate and postgraduate training in osteopathic colleges and hospitals.) Dr. McAnally, Chief of Surgery Staff, we had met earlier at the Mon day meeting and at the meeting of the Board of Trustees on Monday night. He had completed his surgical schedule by the time we had arrived at the hospital.
From the surgery wing we proceeded through the various other floors of the hospital observing in the beds patients of all ages. It was stated that we could see the hospital records of the individual patients if we so desired. Rather than disturb the hospital routine we asked the Record Librarian of the hospital to send the Committee a list of the various types of cases in the hospital on the day we visited the institution. It is attached hereto as Appendix A. The floors were staffed by registered and practical nurses and it was obvious that the patients were suffering from the usual medical and surgical ail ments seen in any other hospital we had been in. On each floor there were nursing stations, work-up rooms, drug rooms and the usual clean up rooms we all had become familiar with in medical hospitals in our own area. For some of us, this was the largest hospital in which

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1958

1195

we had been in, as only a small percentage of general medical hospitals outside of Atlanta are over 100-150 beds in size.
Connected with the hospital is a building housing laboratories and offices of the clinical staff, the physicians and residents who are full time men. The remaining staff physicians are doctors in general or specialty practice in Kansas City with offices of their own. Here we met Dr. McAnally again in the offices of the surgical staff. We went through the laboratory where blood donors give their blood for storage in the blood bank. We met again Dr. L. R. Hall, a Professor of Sur gery and Co-ordinator of the Cancer Teaching Program His office is located in the Tumor Clinic. We were shown the manner in which the Tumor Clinic is operated. Special radiation equipment used under a license issued by the Atomic Energy Commission was explained involv ing the use of radio-isotopes. We noticed a placard on the wall indi cating that the hospital and doctors are participating members of Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans.
At approximately 1:00 P.M. we completed our tour of the hospital. Lunch was available at the hospital cafeteria, but the members decided to return to the hotel. There was general agreement upon the follow ing observations:
(1) that the College officers were completely co-operative and desired to show to us every feature and phase of the College;
(2) that the College trains physicians for the general practice of medicine and the treatment and care of all human ailments and diseases;
(3) that the people of Missouri look upon doctors of osteopathy as trained physicians and surgeons and have the same trust and confi dence in them that we in our state have in M.D.s;
(4) that the use of drugs and surgery is based upon a scientific education and training in the College;
(5) that under Missouri law none of the restrictions or limitations found in Georgia law have ever existed;
(6) that no legislator could go through the College without com ing to the same general conclusions regarding the instruction, training and use of drugs and surgery;
(7) that the expansion plans of the College made further improve ment and development of the College certain through the spending of some $5,000,000 in the next five years for a new 250 bed teachinghospital and related facilities; and
(8) that X-12D, the Catalog of the Kansas City College of Osteo pathy and Surgery, contains all the remaining information and statis tics necessary for a proper understanding of the College and its Hospitals and is hereby made a part of this Report.

f. What are the AOA intern training hospital standards? They are set out in X-4 and X-5 and require that a doctor of osteopathy have general hospital training in the care of patients in medical and surgical

1198

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

cases. Only hospitals meeting the required standards may be approved. The hospital staffs must be composed of either M.D.s or D.O.s The aproval of intern hospitals is by the AOA Bureau of Hospitals for osteopathic hospitals and by the AMA Council on Medical Education and Hospitals for medical hospitals. All states require both medical and osteopathic hospitals to be licensed under a state hospital licensing law whose requirements are the same for the hospitals of both organi zations.
g. What are the AOA registered hospital standards? They are a part of X-4 and provide minimum requirements for hospitals not seek ing intern training approval. These standards are comparable to the "Listing" requirements of the American Hospital Association which most medical hospitals try to meet.
h. What percentage of osteopathic hospitals are general hospitals? All but a small percentage are general hospitals. The hospitals which are not general medical and surgical hospitals are special type hos pitals relating to mental diseases, obstetrics and gynecology or some related specialty field.
i. What is the approximate value of osteopathic hospitals construc tion now underway? Approximately $20,000,000.00. Construction de tails of some hospitals are detailed in X-46, pp. 22-27, and see X-44 describing the 10,000,000.00 Los Angeles County Hospital Unit being built by Los Angeles County, California for the osteopathic profession.
III. Federal Laws

b. What is the law of the District of Columbia? That the de grees M.D. and D.O. shall be accorded the same rights and privileges, see X-8 under District of Columbia.
c. What is the position of the U.S. Public Health Service? Equal recognition for appointment as medical officers and in granting funds for education to M.D.s and D.O.s X-8A describes the Performance of Medical and Osteopathic Students on a Cancer Knowledge Test, indicat ing osteopathic students are slightly ahead of medical students in the freshman year but slightly behind in nearly all respects in the other 3 years as evidenced by charts on p. 3 and 4. This report was published by the Public Health Service in August, 1957.
d. Have osteopathic colleges or hospitals been granted any federal funds--for what? A minimum of $2,000,000.00 in the last 5 years, see X-8 under Public Health Service. See X-8A for Cancer Instruction re sults in medical and osteopathic colleges.
e. Do doctors of osteopathy serve as Medical Officers of U.S. Public Health Service? Yes, several are on active duty at present. See p. 33 of X-9 for example of D.O. on temporary duty with U.S. Public Health Service. Dr. Ebert is a D.O. in general practice in Indiana.
f. What about Veterans Administration Home-Town Medical Care Program? D.O.s in the various states give medical and surgical care to veterans under the out-patient program of the V.A. but in limited practice states the care given must conform to legal restrictions.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1958

1199

g. Do D.O.s serve as Medical Officers of the Department of Medi cine and Surgery of the VA? Yes. See X-8 under Veteran's Adminis tration.
h. Name any other instances of federal recognition. They are listed in alphabetical order in X-8.
IV. State Laws
a. Unlimited laws--how many, what are names of the licenses? 36 states D.C. and Territory of Hawaii. See names of states and types of licenses, X-l, pp. 133-137. X-30 is an Abstract of Laws of each state. X-31, pp. 105-107 is an official statement of the AMA relating to laws relating to D.O.s and stating that limited licensing laws are rapidly being replaced by unlimited laws. X-36 is a West Virginia Court of Appeals decision construing the West Virginia law.
b. What percentage of D.O.s practice in unlimited states? Out of 13,000 D.O.s all but approximately 300. See pp. 6-7 of X-24 for chart setting out number of D.O.s in each state, type of law and scope of practice. Only approximately 3% of the D.O.s live and practice in States having limited laws.
d. Have any such laws ever been repealed? No. Every unlimited law has remained permanently in effect, unchanged by the legislature.
e. Are excerpts from or copies of the laws available? Yes. See pp. 133-137 of X-l and X-30 abstracting all of the laws relating to osteopathy. Copies of the laws are available on request.
f. Who administers the laws: Types of Boards? Medical Boards and Boards of Osteopathic Examiners, see pp. 138-139 of X-l for the names and types of membership of the various boards, as well as their relationship to other governmental agencies.
g. Are D.O.s members of Boards of Medical Examiners? Yes in 15 states, see pp. 138-139 of X-l.
h. Are osteopathic colleges and hospitals inspected by Boards of Medical Examiners? Yes from time to time, but boards generally ac cept the accreditation of the American Osteopathic Association just as they accept AMA accreditation for medical colleges and hospitals.
V. Relationships with Medical Profession
a. What is official position of AMA? In 1955 by a rate of 101-80 the AMA voted to list osteopathy as a cultist profession, see X-l, pp. 79-89 for a complete text of the report of the AMA Committee for the Study of Relations Between Osteopathy and Medicine. This Report is a constructive survey of the osteopathic colleges and discloses needed areas for improvement in the same manner and degree as X-14, Medi cal Schools in the United States at Mid-Century, makes the same type of constructive criticisms of AMA approved medical colleges. X-14A lists some of the Areas for Needed Improvement in Approved Medical Colleges and discloses that medical and osteopathic colleges must con tinue to receive the benefits of constructive criticism. The areas for needed improvement in both studies are very similar a comparison of the report evidences. Medical educators of both the allopathic and osteopathic schools of medicine recognize this fact.

1200

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

b. What is official position of AOA? That it will cooperate with all organizations or groups interested in the improvement of the public health.
c. Is joint use of a hospital by D.O.s and M.D.s unethical? No, if required by law or regulation, see X-41 and X-43 for the official position of the AMA and because of which M.D.s and D.O.s practice together in many hospitals using the same medical, surgical and nurs ing facilities and attending the same post-graduate education programs in medical colleges.
d. Do they all use the same post-graduate facilities, as for example, in Washington, California and Colorado? Yes, state tax-supported medical school and post-graduate programs are open to D.O.s in those states. X-19 lists the subjects covered at a recent course given by the faculty of the University of Washington Medical School for doctors of osteopathy. X-18 states that D.O.s licensed to practice medicine may attend the Postgraduate Medical Institute of Boston, Massachusetts sponsored by Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts Medical Society and other leading medical organizations.
e. Do M.D.s ever teach an osteopathic organization post-graduate courses? Yes. For latest instance see X-17 for program of American College of Osteopathic Surgeons wherein on p. 8 Drs. Beck and Hosier, M.D., members of the faculty of the Western Reserve School of Medi cine will speak on Cardiac Resuscitation by surgery, and on p. 13 Dr. Woosley M.D. of the faculty of St. Louis University School of Medi cine on The Problem of the Intervertebral Disc.
f. Do any M.D.s teach in osteopathic colleges? Yes. See catalogs for degrees of faculty members and p. 102 of X-31 wherein a 1953 AMA report recognized the use of M.D.s on the faculty of osteopathic colleges. There was an even wider use of M.D.s on the faculties of osteopathic colleges in the early years when osteopathic surgeons were not as numerous as now. There have always been some M.D.s on the faculties of osteopathic colleges.
g. Do D.O.s provide medical and surgical care under Medical So ciety sponsored Blue Shield programs? Yes in states where D.O.s have an unlimited license to use drugs and perform surgery.
h. Has an M.D. ever testified in a court proceeding regarding an osteopathic college? Yes. Dr. Eric Oldberg, M.D., Professor of Neurosurgery, University of Illinois School of Medicine, testified in Chicago College of Osteopathy case, see X-l, pp. 73-79 for a copy of the Illinois Supreme Court decision.
i. Is there actually co-operation between M.D.s and D.O.s at the local level? Yes, see partial list of D.O.s serving as local health officers, X-39, in which capacity D.O.s administer local health plans in co operation with all local doctors, both M.D. and D.O.
j. Are M.D.s using manipulative therapy? Yes. X-50 lists M.D. books on manipulation and medical articles relating to manipulation. Manipulation is a therapy used by both M.D.s and D.O.s. There is no therapy, drug or surgical procedure that is not available to and used by doctors with the degrees M.D. and D.O.
k. What is physical Medicine and is it taught in medical col leges? Yes. X-49 lists the hours devoted to it in some 20 medical col-

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1958

1201

leges. The hours total from 8 to 144, not including related instruction under other headings involving manipulation, and physical medicine, as in orthopedic surgery.
1. Name some books or articles by M.D.s dealing with manipula tion. X-50 lists some books and articles by doctors of medicine.
m. Are D.O.s officers on the boards of medical examiners of any states? Yes. D.O.s are Vice-Presidents in Colorado, Texas and South Dakota, Treasurer in Indiana, and Secretary of the Approving Au thority in Massachusetts; all official positions on the Boards of Medi cal Examiners.
VI. Practice
a. In what states are the D.O.s located largely throughout the country? In all states, but the heaviest concentrations are in Cali fornia, Texas, Missouri, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
b. Do they use drugs and surgery in their practice? Yes, all but 300 are located in unlimited states and can qualify under state law to receive a license which includes the use of drugs and surgery in the 36 states, D.C. and the Territory of Hawaii. Every D.O. licensed in Texas since 1907 has taken the same examination in medicine and surgery given by the Texas Board of Medical Examiners as has been given to M.D.s and every one of the 627 D.O.s in the state holds a medicine and surgery license. The same holds true in many of the other states.
In Missouri the Medical Society and Osteopathic Society have writ ten a bil to unite the Medical and Osteopathic Boards and to auto matically issue a license to practice medicine and surgery to all the M.D.s and D.O.s in the state. This bill was introduced at the 1955 session of the state legislature and was assigned the number S.B. 226. A copy of that bill is attached hereto. It will be given further con sideration at the 1959 session of the Missouri Legislature. Its pro visions in regard to medical and Osteopathic licensing were reached through joint meetings of the two profession's members.
c. Can a physician practice today without an unlimited license? No, modern health conditions require that full use of a doctor's educa tion and training be authorized so that doctor's may develop fully their capabilities and that the public is fully protected from legal restric tions which may interfere with a trained doctor practicing modern scientific medicine.
d. Can a physician provide services to patients covered by medical and surgical insurance policies if he has a limited license? In many cases no, for policies requires that doctor hold an unlimited license, irrespective of type of care provided.
e. Can a physician provide services under "Medicare", the federal program for medical and surgical care for dependent's of personnel of the Armed Forces without a physician's and surgeon's license? No, federal regulations require that the doctor be licensed to use all drugs and all surgery.
f. Is a physician's and surgeon's license necessary to even provide manipulation under some insurance policies and "Medicare"? Yes; a

1202

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

doctor can not provide manipulation, give an aspirin, or any medical or surgical treatment if not the possessor of an unlimited license.
g. Can a physician and surgeon profession properly organize in a state without an unlimited license? No. A health profession can not organize its specialty services or develop hospitals.
h. Will all doctors do major surgery, if they have such a license? What are the controls? No. See X-47, a survey of the practices of 300 D.O.s. The controls are a doctor's personal integrity and hospital regulations; see X-4 and X-5 for osteopathic hospital standards.
i. Why are doctors in the various specialties needed to develop a hospital staff? Most hospitals are general hospitals and take care of all types of cases, doctors thus specialize so as to develop in training and skill in the various areas of practice.
j. Does the organization of a hospital improve the general trend of care provided by doctors in an area? Yes. Hospitals serve as centers for community care and post-graduate training.
k. Does the existence of a hospital make the services of the doc tors more efficient and useful? Yes, the added clinical facilities aid him in his practice and encourage a high level of practice through staff organization.
1. In whose interest is an unlimited law enacted, the patient or the doctor? Mainly the patient, although the doctor also benefits through greater use of his education and training.
m. Do any M.D.s in the United States possess a limited license? None, except a few M.D.s licensed only to practice in state institutions.
n. Are limited licenses on the decline? Yes. The AM A so states on p. 106 of X-31.
o. What are some of the problems that a doctor in general prac tice encounters if practicing with a limited license? In most cases he may not use all drugs or surgery needed to help the patient and recog nized as needed by both the medical and osteopathic professions. Modern drugs and surgery can not be classified by law or divided by law into areas of permitted uses because only the condition of the patient as diagnosed by the doctor can be the basis of modern scientific and ethical practice.
p. Can the existence of a limited license actually endanger the life or health of a patient? Yes, where the doctor is competent to use a needed therapy, but the law prohibits its use. This situation is par ticularly important for doctors in practice in the rural areas and who must be authorized to provide himself in his general practice all needed diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and modalities. D.O.s have been so trained and no osteopathic college trains its students with any other objective in mind.
q. Has the osteopathic profession ever willingly accepted a limited license? No. All limited laws were enacted over protest of osteopathic profession or at a time when profession could not object or secure because of medical opposition any other type of law. VII. The Future.
a. Are osteopathic colleges going to get Federal Funds for ex-

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1958

1203

pansion? Yes. See X-2 for complete information on new federal aid to medical education program and the inclusion of osteopathic colleges under the program to help train more doctors.
b. What are the expansion plans of the osteopathic colleges? All the colleges have expansion programs, outlined in X-29. These plans involve an expenditure of an estimated $21,075,000.00 in the next five years.
c. Are the osteopathic colleges included in the Medical Inquiry Report of the U.S. Senate Interstate Commerce Committee? Yes. X-2, pp. 115-147 is devoted solely to osteopathic colleges. Is a copy of that Report available? Yes.
d. What about the commissioning of D.O.s in the Armed Forces? Do you have a copy of the H.R. 483 Hearing Record? Yes, X-l is a complete report. X-7 is copy of Department of Defense regulations pro viding for the rules under which the respective services will commission the doctors.
e. Was the Doctors Draft Act repealed and is the commissioning of D.O.s now under the Selective Service Act? Yes. The Doctors Draft Law was repealed as of July 1, 1957 and the commissioning of doctors is now a part of the Selective Service Act.
f. Is there a place in modern medicine for both medical and osteopathic colleges? Yes. President Elsenhower has recommended federal grants-in-aid for both schools, see X-10, p. 511 and X-2, p. 174 defining medical education to include colleges of osteopathy.
g. Is it true that all D.O.s are trained in the use of manipulative therapy, but only a small percentage of the M.D.s? Yes. While in struction in manipulation therapy is on the increase in medical college (X-l, p. 86) is not taught on as broad a basis as in osteopathic colleges.
h. Could all M.D.s as a practical matter be trained in manipula tion while in medical college? It is doubtful that sufficient qualified instructors are available or the time in curriculum to teach all of them.
i. Is it a fact that all physicians should be trained in all fields of diagnosis and therapy? Yes. Both the medical and osteopathic pro fession are in agreement on this principle.
j. Is training in manipulation time consuming and intricate just like other medical subjects? Yes. Its use must be co-ordinated as a part of the full practice of medicine and surgery.
k. Are all schools of medicine learning today more and more about physical medicine? Yes. Both medical and osteopathic colleges are emphasizing rehabilitation, greater awareness of the musculoskeletal system in the management of the disease or disorder, and the study of man as a whole. See X-51 for new concept of North western University Medical School. See X-48 for an article on the modern approach of osteopathic medicine.
1. Are AM A approved medical colleges in need of improvements? Yes. See X-14 and X-14A for details of Areas for Needed Improve ments from an impartial AMA study of medical schools.
m. What about foreign medical colleges? Are their graduates licensed? Yes. See X-37, p. 452 for statistics for the year 1946-56.

1204

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Without licenses they serve on the hospital house staffs in many states. See X-27.
n. Are there areas for needed improvement in foreign medical colleges? Yes. Read X-26 for excerpts from official AM A articles describing foreign medical colleges and their need for improvements in both the basic sciences and clinical fields.
o. What are the qualifications of a graduate of a medical school today? X-15 is an excerpt from a statement by the Past President of the AMA that graduates of medical colleges are not adequately edu cated for the practice of surgery, obstetrics and the specialties, without further post-graduate training. Many medical educators do not agree with this AMA statement.
p. Is there one "curriculum" for medical colleges? No. See X-16 recognizing great differences among the medical colleges and also X-13, X-14 and X-14A for differences among teaching standards, budget, faculty and other features of medical colleges.
q. How many teaching beds should a medical college hospital have? See X-13, p. 7, the AMA standards states:
". . . no fixed number of hospital beds or patients per student can be established because of the variables involved. Medical edu cation should emphasize intensive long term study by each student of relatively fewer patients rather than the superficial observa tion of many patients."
r. Is there a shortage of doctors in general practice? Past Presi dent Murray of the AMA says yes, see X-25.
s. Do both M.D.s and D.O. successfully pass medical licensing examinations with relatively the same percentage of passings and fail ures? Yes, compare statistics in X-37 and X-38 for all the licensing boards in the 48 states; a comparison must be made on the basis of all states not just of a limited number.
t. How have the various states provided for unlimited licensure for doctors in states once having a limited law? X-47 sets out a factual explanation of the manner in which this problem has been handled by state legislatures. None of the states listed in X-47 had the benefit of a thorough interim committee study of osteopathic education and training. The solutions varied with the times, local conditions and the strength of the profession.
u. Are the osteopathic colleges making a contribution to basic research directed at improving the health of the American people, and adding to man's knowledge of health and disease? Yes. A list of articles are published on pp. 20-24 of X-l and X-22. X-23 is an ex planation by a lay person of what osteopathic research is attempting to accomplish. X-21 details recent AOA contributions to research.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"113-301. All wills (except nuncupative wills) disposing of realty or personalty shall be in writing, signed by the party mak ing the same or by some other person in his presence and by his express direction, and shall be attested and subscribed in the presence of the testator by two or more competent witnesses."

"113-409. A codicil properly executed and annexed to a will shall amount to a republication of the same. Any writing executed with all the formalities required for a will may operate as a republication. A republication of the same paper in the presence of two witnesses, who shall subscribe as additional attesting wit nesses shall be good. A parol republication in the presence of the original witnesses to the will shall be good."
Section 3. Code Section 113-502, relating to the witnesses to nun cupative wills, is hereby amended by striking said section in its entirety and in lieu thereof inserting the following:
"113-502. No nuncupative will shall be good unless proved by the oaths of at least two competent witnesses who were present in the making thereof; nor unless it shall be proved that the testator, at the time of pronouncing the same, bade the persons present, or some of them, to bear witness that such was his will, or to that effect; nor unless such nuncupative will was made in the time of the last sickness of the deceased."

Such probate and record is not conclusive upon anyone interested in the estate adversely to the will; and if afterward set aside, does not protect the executor in any of his acts further than the payment of the debts of the estate. Pur chasers under sales from him, legally made, will be protected, if bona fide and without notice. The petition to probate a will in common form shall be verified by the oath of the applicant, and shall set forth the same information required in an application to probate a will in solemn form, and said petition shall conclude with a prayer for the issuance of letters testamentary."

Every such petition shall conclude with a prayer for the issuance of letters testamentary, and if all of the heirs at law are sui juris and shall acknowledge service of the petition and notice, and shall in such acknowledgement assent thereto, the will may be admitted to record on proper proof, and letters may thereupon issue without further delay."

When a party to be served is unknown, or a known party resides without the State either voluntarily or involuntarily under cir cumstances which make it difficult to determine if said person is a legal resident of Georgia or of some foreign State, or if his place of residence be unknown upon the fact being made to appear the court shall order service to be perfected by publication in the newspaper in which sheriff's advertisements are published in the county in which the application for probate in solemn form is made, once a week for four weeks, provided, however, that such publication need not be made if service is acknowledged by the non-resident party or the party whose legal residence is in doubt. The records of the court shall show the person notified and the character of the notice given.
(a) Such published notice shall contain a caption setting forth the court, the time the order for service by publication was granted, the name of the deceased and the fact that application has been made to probate the will of such deceased in solemn form and the name of the applicant who seeks letters testamentary or continuance in force of letters testamentary previously granted, if any, and shall contain a notice directed and addressed to the party to be served, if known, and to known parties residing with out the state either voluntarily or involuntarily under circumstances which make it difficult to determine if said person is a legal resident of Georgia, or of some foreign State, and to parties whose place of residence may be unknown, and if all parties are not known then and in that event to all and singular the heirs at law of such deceased, commanding him or them, or all as the case may be, that is, such known non-resident party or parties or any known party or parties residing without the State either volun tarily or involuntarily under circumstances which make it difficult

In the case of an unknown person, it shall be sufficient if the records of the court show publication notice directed to all and singular the heirs at law of such deceased and compliance with this law.

(e) All persons over 18 years of age may acknowledge serv ice of any proceeding to be filed or pending in a Court of Ordinary of this state.
(f) A person in military service, even though under 18 years of age, shall be permitted to acknowledge service. If service is not acknowledged, a certificate of service by delivery to such person wherever located, by a commissioned or commanding officer shall be a good service.

A RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, cotton has played an important and significant part in the development of Georgia, the Great Empire State of the South; and
WHEREAS, cotton farming continues to make a significant con tribution to Georgia's economy; and

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
Section 1. Code Section 49-103, as amended by an Act approved March 11, 1943 (Ga. Laws 1943, p. 396), relating to the appointment, bond and dismissal of a testamentary guardian, is hereby amended by striking said section in its entirety and in lieu thereof inserting the following:
"49-103. Every parent may, by will, appoint guardians for the property of his children, and such guardian shall not be required to give bond and security, except in the case of waste committed or apprehended, or property coming to the ward from sources other than the parent's will, when the ordinary shall require the same. If a testamentary guardian shall fail to give bond as required, the Ordinary may dismiss him as guardian and appoint another, or may appoint another guardian for the property thus accruing. In all other respects a testamentary guardian shall stand on the same footing with other guardians appointed by the Ordinary. Provided, however, that if one of the parents be dead, the surviving parent may, by will, appoint a guardian for the person of his or her minor child or children."
Section 2. Code Section 49-112, relating to the appointment of guardians for minors under age of 14 years, is hereby amended by striking said section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"49-112. Every application to be appointed guardian of a minor under the age of 14 years, other than the child of the applicant, shall be made to the Ordinary and served upon the three next adult relatives residing in Georgia, or if less than three, upon all who are residents of Georgia. If no adult relatives reside in Georgia,

1380

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

notice thereof shall be given by the Ordinary in the newspaper in which the legal advertisements of the county are published, once a week for four weeks before such letters shall be granted, unless such notice be waived or acknowledged in writing by the three next adult relatives who are non-residents. At the next regular term after service upon the adult relatives, or after the notice has been published four weeks, or upon waiver of such notice, the letters may be granted to the applicant or to some other person, in the discretion of the Court. If the Ordinary deems it necessary, a temporary guardian may be appointed under the same rules as apply to the appointment of temporary administrators."
Section 3. Code Section 49-113, relating to the bond and oath or affirmation of guardains appointed by the Ordinary, is hereby amended by striking said code section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"49-113. Every guardian appointed by the Ordinary before entering upon the duties of his appointment, shall take before the Ordinary an oath or affirmation well and truly to perform the duties required of him as guardian and faithfully to account with his ward for his estate; and shall also give bond with good and sufficient security, payable to the Ordinary and his successors, to be approved by the Ordinary, when so required. If the guardian is for the person only, the court may, in its discretion, dispense with the requirement of any bond by the guardian, and in the event bond is required, it shall not exceed $1,000. If the guardian is for the property or for person and property of the ward, the court shall require that the guardian give bond and security in double the supposed value of the ward's estate before the issuance of letters of guardianship. The Ordinary shall have authority to per mit a reduction in the amount of the bond when it appears that the value of the ward's estate has decreased, provided that such reduction shall in no way affect the liability of the surety for waste or misconduct of the guardian that occurred before the bond was reduced."
Section 4. Code Section 49-202, relating to the disbursements and expenses permitted by a guardian, is hereby amended by striking said section in its entirety, and in lieu thereof inserting the following:
"49-202. Every guardian shall be allowed all reasonable dis bursements and expenses suitable to the circumstances of the ward committed to his care, and for the necessary expenses of main taining, supporting and educating those who may be legally de pendent upon the ward. The expenses of maintenance and educa tion must not exceed the annual profits of the estate, except by the approval of the Ordinary previously granted. The Ordinary may, in his discretion, allow the corpus of the estate, in whole or in part, to be used for the education and maintenance of the ward and for the necessary expenses of maintaining, supporting and educating those who may be legally dependent upon the ward."
Section 5. Code Section 49-203, as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 2, 1953 (Ga. Laws 1953, Jan.-Feb.

Section 6. Code Section 49-204, as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 11, 1943 (Ga. Laws 1943, p. 308), relating to the notice of application for order to sell and reinvest the estate of the ward, is hereby amended by striking said section in its entirety, and in lieu thereof inserting the following:

Citation shall be issued thereon and copy of the petition and citation shall be served personally upon the ward, if he is over 14 years of age, and shall be published for four weeks in the newspaper in which the sheriff's advertisements for that county appear. On or after the date ap pointed in the citation the Ordinary may consider the petition, hear evidence thereon, and if the proposed transaction is fair and in the best interests of the ward, he shall issue an appropriate order per mitting the sale, lease, exchange or encumbrance; however, the Ordinary, if he deems it advisable, may require any sale of the ward's property, to be held publicly and subject to the confirmation of the court. The provisions hereof are cumulative and not ex clusive of other provisions of the law authorizing sales by guar dians."
Section 7. Code Section 49-213, relating to contracts for labor or services made by a guardian, is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

It shall be the duty of the guardian, however, to discontinue the operation thereof at any time when it shall reasonably appear to him that there is danger of loss, or when it shall appear to him that a liquidation shall be advantageous to the ward's estate. In every instance, the guardian shall make regular and strict accountings to the court in connection with any continued operation, discontinuance or liquida tion."
Section 9. Code Section 49-216, relating to investment in land by guardians, is hereby amended by adding after the word "court" the words "or from the Ordinary" so that said section, as so amended, shall read:
"49-216. Guardians are authorized to invest any funds held by them as such guardians in lands; Provided, that an order to that effect shall first be obtained from the judge of the Superior Court or from the Ordinary, who is authorized to consider and pass upon such applications either in term time or vacation."

Section 13. Code Section 49-310, relating to final settlement with guardians, is hereby amended by striking paragraph 1 in its entirety, and in lieu thereof inserting the following:
"1. The rate of interest which shall be charged against a guardian on funds held by him without investment and without an order of court authorizing the funds to be held uninvested, shall be the same as that now provided by law; provided, however, that this section shall not be construed to authorize the guardian to use any part of the funds or estate of his ward for his own use or benefit."

"49-313. (a) Any guardian who, from age, informity, removal from the county, or for other cause, desires to resign his trust as such may apply to the ordinary having jurisdiction of the trust, setting forth the reason therefor, and also the name of some suit able person willing to accept the trust; whereupon the Ordinary shall cite such person and the nearest of kin of such ward to appear before him at the next term of court, and if the Ordinary shall be satisfied that such change of guardians will not be detrimental to the interest of the ward, and no good cause shall be shown against it, he shall grant the prayer of the applicant, discharging him from his trust on condition that he shall forthwith deliver all property and pay all money held by him as such guardian, upon a fair settle ment of his accounts to his successor; and upon the filing of the evidence of such settlement and the receipt in full of his successor, the guardian shall be discharged from his said trust.

The ordinary shall cite the three nearest adult relatives of the ward residing within the State to appear, or if less than three, upon all, and if the Ordinary shall be satisfied that resignation of the guardian will not be detrimental to the interest of the ward and that a petition has been or will be filed for appointment of a successor guardian in the county of the ward's residence, and no good cause shall be shown against it, he

1384

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

shall grant the prayer of the petitioner and enter an order accepting the resignation of the guardian to take effect upon the filing with the court evidence of the appointment of a successor guardian by the ordinary of the county of the ward's residence.

Should the Ordinary be satisfied that he has jurisdiction and that necessity for appointment of a guardian exists and no good cause shall be shown against it, he shall appoint the successor guardian upon the filing with him of a certified copy of the order of the ordinary of the other county accepting the resignation of the guardian in that county."
Section 15. Code Section 49-401, relating to the proceedings for the transfer of property to a foreign guardian, is hereby amended by striking said section in its entirety, and in lieu thereof inserting the following:
"49-401. Any guardian, administrator, executor or trustee in this state shall be authorized to deliver the property in his hands belonging to a non-resident ward, if there be no sufficient reason why such property should not be transferred, to a foreign guardian of the ward, when the foreign guardian has given security in the amount of double the value of the property which the ward owns in this State, and files with the ordinary of this State having jurisdiction a petition setting forth the facts as to his appointment, qualifications, and posting of bond, and praying for an order authorizing and directing the executor, administrator, trustee or guardian in this State to turn over to the foreign guardian the property of the ward. The foreign guardian shall attach to said petition appropriate exhibits of the letters of guardianship issued to him, or other evidence of his appointment as guardian, and a copy of his bond, authenticated as required by the Act of Congress. The foreign guardian shall also attach to said petition appropriate exhibit, or otherwise produce to the Ordinary, a certificate from the judge or clerk of the court in this State that appointed him as guardian, certifying the amount of bond required for the guar dianship of property of the ward then in that State, and as to the sufficiency of the security on the bond."
Section 16. Code Section 49-806, relating to the notice of petition for appointment of guardian, is hereby amended by striking said section in its entirety, and in lieu thereof inserting the following:

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1958

Section 17. Code Section 49-807, relating to the bond and fitness of a guardian, is hereby amended by striking the figure $500 and in serting in lieu thereof the figure $1,000 and by adding at the end thereof:
"Provided, further, however, that the Ordinary may, upon a proper showing that the value of the ward's estate has decreased, permit a decrease in the amount of the bond to an amount equal to the then value, plus the sums estimated to be payable to the ward during the ensuing year, provided, that no such reduction shall affect the liability of the surety for past waste or misconduct of the guardian."
so that Code Section 49-807, as so amended, shall read:
"49-807. Before making an appointment under the provisions of this Chapter, the court shall be satisfied that the guardian whose appointment is sought is a fit and proper person to be appointed. Upon the appointment being made the guardian shall execute and file a bond to be approved by the court, in an amount not less than the sum then due and estimated to become payable during the ensuing year. The said bond shall be a security bond made by a solvent surety company in the form and be conditioned as required of guardians appointed under general guardianship laws. The court shall have the power from time to time to require the guardian to file an additional bond; Provided, however, that where the total estate coming into the hands of such guardian shall at no time exceed the sum of $1,000, a bond with personal sureties, with at least two such sureties thereon, may be accepted if such personal sureties are solvent and are each worth the amount named as the penalty of the bond. Provided further, however, that the Ordinary may, upon a proper showing that the value of the ward's estate has decreased, permit a decrease in the amount of the bond to the then value, plus the sums estimated to be payable to the ward during the ensuing year. Provided, that no such reduction shall affect the liability of the surety for past waste or misconduct of the guardian."

A guardian shall be authorized to make expenditures of funds of his ward for the proper support, maintenance and education of the spouse or dependent child of the ward without a court order, in the

1386

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

same manner as expenditures are made for the support, main tenance and education of the ward."
Section 19. The guardian of a ward's estate shall make and file with the Ordinary an inventory of the estate in the same manner and within the same time as is required by administrators.
Section 20. Code Section 49-212, relating to the manner of renting the lands of a minor by his guardian, which reads:
"Every renting of lands of a minor, unless by special order of the ordinary shall be in public to the highest bidder, and under the same rules as sheriff's sales, except that credit may be given on good security."
is hereby repealed in its entirety.
Section 21. This Act shall become effective July 1, 1958.

The Senate has passed as amended by the requisite constitutional majority the following Bills of the House to wit:

HB 980. By Mr. Overby of Hall:
A Bill to be entitled an Act to change the fees charged for criminal bonds; and for other purposes.

Governor Marvin Griffin appeared upon the floor of the House and briefly addressed the House as follows:
It is with pleasure and at the same time with considerable regret, that I make my last appearance at this final regular session of the General Assembly to be held in my administration.
The pleasure, of course, comes from the years of cordial association we have enjoyed during which we, working together, have carried out the most progressive era in Georgia's history.
It is certain that we can be proud of the enviable record we have established in all fields of endeavor prior to the present session of this body.

1416

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

When the members of this body assembled on January 12th to hold its final session, we were at the peak of our advancement, progress and achievements and were looking forward toward the enactment of legislation which would have rounded out a definite record of progress never before exceeded by any legislative group at any time in the past.
It is with the deepest regret that I find, in this last hour of the session, that this body failed to enact many of the recommendations I made, all of which were designed to benefit the masses of the people of this state.
Standing here, face to face, I want to place the responsibility for this failure squarely upon the shoulders of those members of this General Assembly who did not see fit to endorse these programs.
No person in the great State of Georgia can deny the fact that I submitted these recommendations to this body, deeply imbued with the belief that the measures I proposed were of vital importance to our people at this crucial moment in our history.
Let me assure you that the recommendations I made to you were based solely on my conception of what was needed to sustain the progress we have made in the past and to provide for its acceleration in the future.
The coming months will reveal the story of the damage that will result from the failure of this General Assembly to carry out these recommendations.
To the patriotic and forward-minded members of this group who supported and worked for the passage of these recommendations, I have only a deep feeling of gratitude.
To those who fought these proposed measures and who succeeded in defeating some of the more important ones, let me say that I look upon this action more in sorrow than in anger. They are the ones who must go back home and try to explain to their people the reasons why they were not willing to support these programs of such vital im portance.
When politics become so bitterly partisan that the welfare of the people must be sacrificeed to momentary personal advantage, Georgia is in a sad, sad situation.
My record is clear.
It is written on the archives of this session. Father Time will show upon whose shoulders the failure to follow the recommendations will rest. The blame will not fall upon Marvin Griffin. The responsibility will fall upon those who failed the people at the time that help was needed most.
Let me say to each and every member of this honorable body that it has been a gratifying experience to serve with you for the last three years. And let me assure you that I want to be the friend of all of you in spite of differences which may have arisen at this session.
I bid you farewell and Godspeed. I bear no malice or ill-will against a single member.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, the only time this session that the distinguished gen tleman from Brooks has raised his able voice in defense of the boys from "the branch heads and boondocks" was when two distinguished members, namely Messrs. Rutland and Mackay of the DeKalb delega tion along with other big city boys unveiled their nefarious scheme to sabotage the county unit system and dilute the voters of Brooks County; and
WHEREAS, the gentleman from Brooks in his new role as a slick city slicker did this week by the sheer weight of his great personality induce the House to pass a measure authorizing corrupt politicians, greedy voting machine companies, and the NAACP to impose the iniquitous tyranny of machine voting on the unsuspecting and trustingpopulace of that great segment of our contemporary society residing in the boon docks and branch heads of our State.

2. That during his aforesaid directed travels in the branch heads and boon dock areas that he be directed and commissioned to select the most typical inhabitant thereof and bring him to the sculptor of the Stone Mountain Memorial where upon said sculptor shall strike the likeness of the typical boon dock and branch head boy so selected in Stone Mountain granite to be placed in the Hall of Fame in the State Capitol as a memorial in eternity to the boys of the branch heads and boon docks and this one hundred and twenty four session of the General Assembly of this State making them famous and immortal.
3. That for the benefit of the representatives of the lying news papers and others if any, present that this resolution was not intro duced or adopted for the purpose of levity, but as a part of the serious and important business of this one hundred twenty fourth (124th) session of the General Assembly of this State.
4. That the Clerk be and is hereby authorized to send a certified
