JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The following communication from Honorable Ben W. Fortson, Jr., Secretary of State, was received and read:

SECRETARY OF STATE Ben W. Fortson, Jr. Atlanta
January 14, 1963
Honorable George T. Smith Speaker of the House of Representatives State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mr. Speaker:

This is to notify you that Honorable Cecil D. Crummey has in formed me to let you know that he has had a heart attack and is in the hospital. He is doing all right, but it will be several days before he can come up here and take the oath of office.

Very sincerely yours,

BWF/jkr

/s/ Ben W. Fortson, Jr. Secretary of State.

Smith of Grady, which nomination was seconded by Messrs. Wilson Brooks of Fulton, James H. Floyd of Chattooga, and Frank Twitty of Mitchell.

Mr. Bolton of Spalding moved that the nomination be closed and that the Clerk of the House cast the vote of the entire body for Representative Smith.

MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 1963

101

The motion prevailed and the Chair announced Representative George T. Smith, duly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The Chair appointed as a Committee of Escort to notify the Speaker of his election and escort him to the Speaker's stand:
Messrs. Ware of Troup, Walker of Lowndes, Newton of Colquitt, Maddox Hale of Dade, Jones of Worth, Carr of Washington, Dorminy of Ben Hill, Wilkes of Cook, Waldrop of Carroll and Rowland of Johnson.

Upon being presented to the House by the Chair, the Speaker delivered the following speech in expressing his appreciation for being elected Speaker of the House of Representatives:
GENTLEMAN OF THE HOUSE:
I would be guilty of ingratitude if I did not express to you, as the first order of business, my sincere appreciation for the confidence and faith you have placed in me.
Thank you for permitting me to be your Speaker.
I accept this gavel as Speaker of the House with a deep feeling of responsibility . . .
. . . and a devotion to duty.
In assuming this important position, I do so with full knowledge that there are 204 other Representatives of the people of Georgia in this great deliberative body.
By working together, as a team, we can succeed in our purpose of enacting those laws which will produce better lives for our four million citizens and which will insure a better future for all Georgia.
This is a significant time for our people. They have chosen govern mental leaders for the next four years, and prospects for growth and progress, under the guidance of these new leaders, are indeed promising.
Governor-Elect Sanders will present his State-of-the-State address and Budget Message at noon Wednesday to a joint session of the House and Senate.
At that time he will present, to us, his legislative and budgetary recommendations.
His will be a strong, forthright program, I am sure . . .
. . . one to promote the healthy growth and development of Geor gia to a place of prominence among the States of this nation

102

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

As legislators, I know we will be vitally interested in the programs Governor Sanders will present to us Wednesday.

We are witnessing the start of a "New Day" in Georgia politics, my friends.

Indeed, this is an apt definition.

We will have the first Governor in many years elected by popular vote . . .

. . . We will have a continuing State Senate . . .

. . . And the first appropriations act under the new budget laws will be presented.

As we approach the appropriations act for the coming biennium, we must do so with the full realization that State government is Geor gia's biggest business . . .

. . . And it must be conducted on a business-like basis.

This means economy, efficiency, wise fiscal policies, and sound budgeting.

We must not forget the new Administration's unrelenting efforts to provide the necessary services under present revenue laws.

We must do our rightful part in seeing that all essential services are provided our citizens.

This means that it is our responsibility to help eliminate unneces sary spending in every possible case, and to help make every tax dollar cover only those services which are beneficial to the people of Georgia.
If we of the Legislature are to properly exercise our newly-won right of overseeing fiscal affairs of the State . . .
. . . Then, my friends, we must ourselves practice economy and efficiency in all our official actions.
As we begin this legislative session, let each of us strive to make this General Assembly outstanding in Georgia history.
We can--and we will--by working diligently, constructively, and with dedication . . .
. . . and, by cooperating with each other, with the Senate, and with the new Administration.
My fellow Georgians, we in the House will face many matters of great importance in the days ahead.

MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 1963

103

In order to consider and act on them intelligently--and in a manner befitting the dignity of this House--we must abide by our rules of con duct and accepted procedure.

All of us know that the Rules of the House were adopted by the membership for the benefit of all.

And, to be effective, they must be obeyed by all.

I urge that you assist me in seeing that this is done.

With your cooperation, it will not be necessary for me to use this gavel unnecessarily, and waste this important body's valuable time.

However, I wish to emphasize now that when the rules of this House are broken, I will enforce them.

Since our adjournment a year ago, several minor changes have been made in the procedure of entertaining visitors on the House floor.

The lobbies on either side of this chamber, and in the rear, have been set aside for use by those who have the privilege of the floor.

If you find it necessary to talk with your constituents, the lobbies are provided for this purpose.
Further, our friends with the press, radio and television, have agreed to conduct all interviews in the lobbies, thereby cutting down some of the confusion of past years.
As you know, your families have been issued passes that entitle them to admittance to a reserved section in the gallery. This pass will also admit them to the lobbies.

/ request that yota strictly observe the House rule pertaining to pages

Beginning next Monday, this rule will be enforced to the letter.
Until then, it is my desire that you be given a period in which to make your plans accordingly.
As your new Speaker, I have two requests that I feel will benefit the entire membership; one concerning local legislation, the other deal ing with the wearing of name plates.

I believe that it will greatly benefit you--and your constituents-- if you will introduce your local legislation as early in the session as possible.
Those of you who have had experience with local legislation know that it is useless to wait until the waning days of the session to intro duce it.

104

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

On the matter of name tags, I suggest you wear them for the first two weeks.

This will help all of us become more familiar with each other, and with new members.

And now, allow me to say that I shall endeavor to be fair in all rulings and in all dealings with the members of this House.

My friends, it will be my goal to conduct this body with the dignity that has become the tradition of the Georgia House of Representatives.
I believe that you, as a legislative body, expect and want this from your Speaker.
/ can assure you, that is what you will receive.
With this as my avowed creed, I accept with gratitude the high honor as Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives.
I pledge to you that I will strive to carry well the faith and trust you have placed in me.
The Speaker's office is at your service. I want you to feel free to call upon me, or those in my office, at any time.
Thank you.

The Speaker announced as the next order of business the election of a Clerk of the House and Mr. Bolton of Spalding placed in nomination the name of Hon orable Glenn W. Ellard of Habersham County, which nomination was seconded by Messrs. Underwood of Montgomery and Hull of Richmond.

Mr. Bolton of Spalding moved that the nomination be closed and that the Clerk of the House cast the vote of the entire House for Honorable Glenn W. Ellard.

Messrs. Simmons of Banks, Smith of Habersham, Matthews of Clarke, Smith of Emanuel, Kelly of Jasper and Hill of Meriwether.

Dear Mr. Ellard:
In compliance with Resolution Act #36 of 1961 (Ga. Laws 1961, p. 276), I am today filing with you and the Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives, the President of the Senate, Secretary of the Senate, and all members of the 1963 General Assembly a copy of the final report of the Election Laws Study Committee.
Very sincerely yours,

REPORT OF THE ELECTION LAWS STUDY COMMITTEE

The Election Laws Study Committee was created by Resolution Act #36 which was passed at the 1961 Session of the General Assembly (Ga. Laws 1961, p. 276). The Committee is composed of Honorable Ben W. Fortson, Jr., Secretary of State, Chairman; Garland T. Byrd, Lieutenant Governor; Geo. L. Smith II, Speaker, House of Representatives; Eugene Cook, Attorney General; Senators D. B. Blalock, A. Sid Newton and John C. Peterson; Representatives J. Roy McCracken, P. T. McCutchen, Virgil T. Smith, Joe C. Underwood and Harold S. Willingham; Mrs. Iree Pope, Ordinary, Richmond County; Richard W. Watkins, Jr., Ordi nary, Butts County; and Thomas Vann, Registrar, Thomas County.

The original resolution placed a twenty (20) day time limitation on the work of the Committee. The Committee made a preliminary report to the 1962 Session of the General Assembly as required by the Resolu tion. The report was accompanied by proposed legislation and a request that the time limitation be removed in order that the Committee might have an opportunity to continue work on the monumental task assigned to it. This time limitation was removed at the 1962 Session .

The many court suits, the extraordinary sessions of the General Assembly, the reapportionment of the State Senate, the various cam paigns, primaries and elections, and many other matters which occurred in 1962 presented a multitude of new problems which needed to be settled prior to any concrete recommendations being made by the Com mittee. The Committee felt that it would be useless for it to make any recommendations for changes in the law until some of these problems had been solved and Court decisions rendered. Consequently, in view of the above, the Committee has met only one time since the removal of the time limitation and the fact that needless meetings were not held has resulted in considerable savings to the taxpayers of this State.

The need for a complete revision of the election laws, however, still remains and, in fact, is needed even more as a result of some of the occurrences referred to hereinbefore. Consequently, the Committee strongly recommends that a New Election Laws Study Committee be created at the 1963 Session so that a Georgia Elections Code may be prepared for presentation to the General Assembly.

Attached to this report is a letter from Dr. Albert Saye, Professor of Political Science, University of Georgia, who has given the Commit tee the benefit of his counsel and advice. Also attached find recommen dations from individual members of the Committee.

Respectfully submitted,

ELECTION LAWS STUDY COMMITTEE
/s/ Ben W. Fortson, Jr. Secretary of State. Chairman.

December 19, 1962

Dear Mr. Fortson:
This letter is written in response to the request by Senator Blalock that I express my views on the need for continuing the Election Laws Study Committee.
Unquestionably there is need for both a revision and a reeodification of the laws of Georgia governing elections. As I understand the matter, the Study Committee was inactive in 1962 because of the turbu lent political climate resulting from injunctions by the courts in matters relating to elections, and from activity associated with the gubernatorial election.

I think it advisable either to continue a study committee made up along the lines of the present Election Laws Study Committee, or to create a new committee with fewer members.

Sincerely yours,

ABS:dh

/s/ Albert B. Saye Professor of Political Science.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

CARL E. SANDERS
Governor
Carl Edward Sanders was born May 15, 1925, in Augusta, Georgia. He mar ried Betty Bird P'oy of Statesboro, Georgia in 1947, after a college courtship on the University of Georgia campus. The Governor and his wife have two children, ten-year-old Betty Poy and nine-year-old Carl, Jr.
Educated in the public schools of Richmond County, Georgia, Governor San ders later attended the University of Georgia, receiving a Bachelor of Law degree from the University Law School in December, 1947.
At the age of 17, he enlisted in the Nation's aviation cadet program, becoming First Pilot of a B-17 heavy bomber at the age of 19 and achieving the rank of first lieutenant before the end of World War II.
Beginning an active career in public service with election to the Georgia House of Representatives from Richmond County in 1954, he was chosen in 1956 to represent the Counties of Richmond, Jefferson and Glascock in the State Senate. He was sent again to the Senate in 1958 when Jefferson County yielded its turn to Richmond, and still again in 1960 when Glascock yielded in order to offer him an unprecedented third consecutive term.
In the General Assembly he was chosen Senate Floor Leader in 1959 and elected President Pro-Tempore of the Senate in 1960. Nominated over four other candidates for Governor of Georgia in the State Democratic Primary of Septem ber 12, 1962. by a 162,000-vote victory margin, he received 494,978 of 852,000 votes. His election resulted from the first statewide primary of modern time in which a Governor was chosen by popular vote. Under the old county unit system, however, his mandate would have been similarly onesided.
Admitted to the Georgia Bar Association upon passing the bar examination several months before receiving his law degree, he soon became a partner in the Augusta firm of Hammond, Kennedy and Sanders. Ultimately, he became a senior partner of the firm of Sanders, Thurmond, Hester and Jolles, and is widely known as both a trial lawyer and a corporate attorney.
Long active in the Young Men's Christian Association, he has held high office in the organization. He has also served in official capacities with the Geor gia-Carolina Boy Scout Council, the Augusta Chapter of the American Red Cross, and as a member of the Augusta, Georgia, and American Bar Associations, the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity, the Chi Phi fraternity, and the American Legion, and as a Moose, Mason and Elk. Governor Sanders is also a deacon of the Hill Baptist Church of Augusta, and has served as a teacher of the Young Men's Bible Class at his home church for more than 14 years.
In 1955 his home city honored him as Young Man of the Year, and in 1959 the Georgia Junior Chamber of Commerce selected him as one of five of the State's most outstanding young men.
A strong proponent of physical fitness, Governor Sanders was an outstanding athlete during his high school and college years. As a member of the Academy of Richmond County football squad, he earned All-State honors, and played varsity football at the University of Georgia.

Governor Sanders delivered the following address immediately after taking the oath of office from Georgia Associate Supreme Court Justice Joseph D. Quillian:
GOVERNOR VANDIVER, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR GEER, SPEAKER SMITH, MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, STATE OFFICIALS, HONORED GUESTS AND MY FELLOW GEORGIANS:

My friends, on this solemn occasion I am filled with emotion and gratitude, emotion and gratitude which I find difficult to express.

My innermost thoughts and feelings are:

A simple handclasp with every Georgian;

A thank you;

A full heart;

Fond memories;

Our historic traditions;

Our State motto: "Wisdom, Justice and Moderation";

Those men who have preceded me in discharging this responsibility;

Humility, as I approach the task;

A deep sense of duty.

These are my thoughts. These things I feel.

It is with pride that my Administration succeeds that of a Gov ernor in whose administration I have taken an active part and whose record is exemplary.

This is a new Georgia.

This is a new day.

This is a new era.
A Georgia on the threshold of new greatness.
We are faced with both the greatest challenge and the brightest promise of our history.
As your 74th Governor, it shall be my dedicated purpose to seek workable methods both to meet the challenge and to achieve the promise.

134

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

And in so doing, we shall apply as the test of our progress not whether we add to those who have much, but whether we provide larger opportunities for those who have little.

And this we will accomplish during the next four years through:

Better roads and highways than ever before;

More schools and colleges;

A higher quality of education;

More hospitals and better mental health facilities;

New jobs and payrolls;

Higher incomes for our people;

More new and expanded industries;

A better farm and agricultural program;

A strong program for our youth;

Improved welfare administration;

More parks and recreational facilities;

Better port facilities and airports;

New and greater opportunities for all.

The improvement of education will be the first and foremost objec tive of this Administration.
If there is to be a star of the show in the four years of my term of office, it will be the Georgia child.
Georgia has many rich resources, but none of them can begin to match in importance our Georgia children.
The future is in their hands.
Nothing is more important than that we give them the best educa tion which time, knowledge and money can buy.
Our past gains have come only through sacrifice and study. And the gains of the future will be no different.
But we must begin work immediately . . . and we must work with out ceasing ... to achieve quality education geared to future needs.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1963

135

I ask all of you who share my conviction that education and the fu ture are inseparably related to join me in this effort to insure our State's rightful role in the latter part of this century by inspiring their children to use their minds and develop their capabilities to the highest possible degree.

As we do this, we will become increasingly aware that our State is just now in the spring of her growth.

We must not fail to make the most of the golden opportunity which is ours to build a greater Georgia for present and future generations.

We are now well into the Space Age.

New economic vistas are opened as each barrier of time falls. The lives of every . . . the worker, the farmer, the businessman, the housewife . . . are all affected.

The application of space technology to peaceful uses will provide mankind with perhaps his greatest economic boon since the industrial revolution of the last century. And the recent good news of Georgia's entry into this field marks only the beginning of what our State can expect if we begin now to gear our State's economy to the solid founda tion of a balance between new and expanded industry and a diversified, progressive agriculture.

Tourism, a sleeping giant, will be awakened to make its full con tribution to Georgia's economy. We will promote our beaches and our mountains, our fertile red hills and pine-covered lowlands, our winding rivers and beautiful lakes and our historical sites and modern cities.

And we will make Georgia a vacation paradise for Georgians as well as our welcomed visotads.

Georgia has wonderful natural resources which must be conserved and protected.

Our State's scenic countryside--unparalleled in all the Southland-- will be preserved and protected from wanton and wasteful practices.

To our senior citizens--to whom we owe so much and who expect so little--I pledge my cooperation, my support, my interest, my best and most constructive thoughts to help in making the evening years happy and rewarding ones.
To our cities and counties, I pledge my full cooperation in the strengthening of local government and local determination of purely local affairs.

To all of our people, I pledge responsible State government and determination to handle our affairs without outside interference or intervention.

136

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

As we look to the future, we must be ever mindful of the enduring lessons of the past.

The dark days of government for the benefit of the few--at the the expense of the many--when evil men triumphed because good men did nothing, are no more in Georgia.

They never again will be allowed to return so long as I am your Governor.

On that you have my solemn oath!

There can be no co-existence of good and bad government.

I pledge to you that there shall be none during the Sanders Administration!

Honest government demands sacrifice--sacrifice of self-interest and personal advantage.

The Sanders Administration will endeavor in every area of its operations to provide the dedicated leadership which will create such a climate.

And, in so doing, it is my hope to inspire a new and compelling interest in our State government by our younger citizens. Their energy and their idealism are necessary to Georgia's achievement of her high est destiny.

It is a source of great satisfaction to me that the Administration which is being inaugurated today is the product of history's greatest participation by Georgia citizens in the electoral process. I shall con stantly remind myself--and those who serve with me--of the fact, and it shall serve as a continuing inspiration to all of us.

To realize our hopes and achieve our goals, we must have unity among all Georgians.

By unity, I mean teamwork and cooperation.
Teamwork among officials at all levels of government.
Cooperation among citizens of every geographic area and economic segment of our State.
In short: An unqualified belief in one Georgia by all Georgians.
Last year, I told the people of Georgia that I tipped my hat to the past, but took off my coat to the future.
I am not one of those who support change just for the sake of change. Change in government can be dangerous, but to refuse to

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1963

137

change when the world around you is changing is even more dangerous. And I believe, and believe strongly, that change to achieve efficiency, economy and better government is both wise and justified.

We revere the past.

We adhere to the values of respectability and responsibility which constitute our tradition.

We believe in law and order and in the principle that -all laws apply equally to all citizens.

Tomorrow, I shall go before the General Assembly to state in clear and concise terms the legislative program of our Administration. At the same time, I shall set forth a proposed budget and submit an appropriations bill.

During the next four years, the State of Georgia will collect and disburse nearly two billion of your tax dollars.

You may be certain that every dollar will be accounted for and spent wisely for the people's benefit and that those who handle such funds will be dedicated to the principle that a public office is a public trust.

The change in the moral climate of Georgia's government in re cent years has been both amazing and gratifying.

Every employee and official whom I appoint to serve you, the people, will do so first and always as a servant of the public interest.
Those men and women whom I have chosen to work with me in carrying out your mandate have been selected on the basis of their vital dedication to the principles of a sound, businesslike administration.
With them, and with all Georgians, I am reminded of a prophetic stanza:
"There is a destiny that makes us brothers; "None goes his way alone. "All that we send into the lives of others, "Comes back into our own."

Our mandate is good government by competent people.
The recent gains made in State budgeting are impressive and augur well for the future. Much ground still remains to be covered, especially in the field of better personnel recruitment, better personnel utilization and better personnel management.
I wish to assure those efficient public servants who have made their careers in the government of our State that they have nothing to fear from my Administration.

138

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

The Sanders Administration will be a working administration.

Everyone on the State payroll will be required to do a full day's work.

My Administration does not now, nor will it ever, subscribe to a vengeful pattern of patronage. Our policy will be to assist and help only those who can best help our State.
My friends, I appeal to all Georgians to close ranks for the good

of all Georgia.

I hold malice toward none and I hope no one holds malice toward me.

I earnestly seek the support, advice and prayers of all Georgians.

You have given me the greatest blessing of faith the people of Georgia can bestow . . . that of being chosen to serve you in our State's highest office of government.

It is a responsibility which I accept with humility and a deep sense of duty.

It is my heartfelt hope that the time capsules of the future will thus record my efforts:

He offered to the people his finest; his worst he kept, his best he gave.

My friends, our future is brighter than ever before.

Together, we shall walk into the bright gardens of tomorrow.

Together, we shall ford all rivers of trial and doubt which may cross our path.

Together, we shall serve others, and in so doing, serve ourselves.

Together, we shall build a Georgia on which we, our children, and our children's children, can look with pride and in the certain knowledge that God smiled upon our humble efforts.

These are my words.

This is my pledge.

Lieutenant-Governor Peter Zack Geer delivered the following address:

GOVERNOR AND MRS. SANDERS, GOVERNOR AND MRS. VANDIVER, SPEAKER SMITH, MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL AS SEMBLY OP GEORGIA, JUDGE QUILLIAN, JUDGE MOBLEY, DISTINGUISHD PLATFORM GUESTS, DISTINGUISHED CON STITUTIONAL OFFICERS, MY FRIENDS AND FELLOW GEOR GIANS:

As I take the oath of office as your Lieutenant Governor, on this auspicious occasion, I do so with great solemnity, with complete hu mility, and with the full knowledge of the high responsibility of the office which has been given to me by the people of Georgia.

During most of the past four years, it has been my privilege to have been part and parcel of an honorable and forward-looking admin istration under the leadership of Governor S. Ernest Vandiver, the cardinal objective of which has been to serve the best interest of the people of Georgia. For my part in that administration, I am proud.

The words, tenor and meaning of the Inaugural Address, here de livered by Governor Sanders, is a great source of gratification to me and I am sure to the members of the General Assembly and to the people of Georgia. I share the views and adhere to the policies today expressed by his Excellency, the Governor, and it shall be my purpose to work in cooperation and partnership with the Chief Executive dur ing the next four years, to afford the people of Georgia a richer, more meaningful and grander destiny.
"All Government of right, originates with the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole. Public officers are the trustees and servants of the people, and at all times, amenable to them" - - - - -

These are the words, contained in the Bill of Rights, of the Con stitution of Georgia, that were so wisely and eloquently laid down by those mental giants of the past, so that the people then, and genera tions to come, could live in peace and prosperity and enjoy the pursuit of happiness. The theory contained in this section of our Georgia Constitution, is the only principle upon which the rights of free men can be preserved and freedom long endure, giving all citizens the op portunity to make progress under God.
As your Lieutenant Governor, I shall always recognize that all Government of right originates with the people and is founded upon their will only.

As the State's second highest Officer, I shall ever be conscious, too, that all Government is instituted solely for the good of the whole.
As a public officer, I shall conduct myself as a trustee and servant of the people, and will always be amenable to them.

140

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

It is upon these and other fundamental principles that I assume the oath of office as Lieutenant Governor of the State of Georgia, and embark for the next four years upon a program of progress, prosperity
and happiness for our citizens, undergirded with public morality and responsibility.

As the President of the Senate, let me, my fellow Georgians, once again pledge to you that I shall preside with fairness and impartiality and conduct the business of the Senate in a manner that will reflect dignity and credit upon that august body.

During the next four years, the Legislative processes of the Geor gia Senate will be carried on with order and with the underlying objec tive of doing what is best for Georgia and Georgia people.

Let us remember the enlightening lessons of the past, and cast our thoughts, our energies and our objectives towards the future and once again place the mighty State of Georgia at the pinnacle of the sisterhood of States.

We must meet the challenge of the Sixties--in doing so, these things are all inevitably high on the list:

Industrialization--New jobs and payrolls.

A better education for Georgia youth at the common school, the Junior College and the University level.

Development of the tourist industry, and performing such acts as are necessary to achieve this end.
An increased agricultural and forestry research and development program.
An improved program in physical and mental health.
A better program of welfare, old age assistance, aid to dependent children, the handicapped and the blind.
State youth programs--to build character and body.
An expanded and reformed highway program.
State aid to Georgia Municipalities.
Preservation of States' Rights and Constitutional Government, which inherently pre-supposes the meeting of State responsibilities.
Financial responsibility in State Government, predicated upon care fully planned, well-thought-out, long-range spending policies.
Honorable conduct in State Government--public morality--just plain, old-fashioned honesty and decency.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1963

141

These, my fellow Georgians, are some of the fundamental proposi tions and considerations that must be dealt with forthrightly, in order for Georgia to move forward at a rapid and desired pace, and upon which to build a great and glorious future.

As your Lieutenant Governor, my talents, my energies, my thoughts, together with the authority and facilities of the office with which I have been gifted, shall be trained in those directions.

Working together, the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the General Assembly, all State officials, and the people of Georgia can form a mighty phalanx that will march us on to lofty and majestic accomplishments.

Our potential is unlimited--our future is bright. Let us be on with the business at hand, clinging steadfastly to the epitaph inscribed on the great seal of Georgia--Wisdom, Justice and Moderation--and look ing confidently into the rising sun of tomorrow, we shall have the divine blessing of Almighty God.

Senator Pannell of the 54th moved that the Joint Session be now dissolved and the motion prevailed.

(Text of State of the State and Budget Message of Governor Carl E. Sanders, delivered at high noon, Wednesday, January 16, 1963, to the General Assembly of Georgia convened in Joint Session. The Gov ernor's address was broadcast and telecast over a statewide network of Georgia radio and television stations.)
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR GEER, SPEAKER SMITH, MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, MY FELLOW CITIZENS AND FRIENDS THROUGHOUT ALL OF GEORGIA:
It is with a deep sense of humility, and an awareness of our chal lenge for a better Georgia, that I make this report to you today. It will be our task to consolidate the gains that have been registered, to hold the line on expenditures, and to see that our State moves ahead, steadily and unceasingly, through improved governmental practices.
During the past few years we have seen great changes. Many of you are here for the first time today, and many also were here during the dark times of crisis which faced our beloved State not so long ago.
We came through this period of peril with honor and dignity, and the new Georgia which has emerged stands stronger, taller, more secure in the bright rays of hope and opportunity.
The prospects for our State are brighter than ever.
Gentlemen, I am happy to report to you that--
THE STATE OF OUR GRAND OLD STATE OF GEORGIA IS EXCELLENT!
With Georgia boasting a solvent treasury and a full-time Budget Staff, I am proud to present to you on the third day of your assem blage, for the first time in the history of this State, a really compre hensive, balanced budget for the next two years.
We meet today to proclaim to the world that the Legislative and Executive Departments of this State government are ready to assume their responsibilities, that the General Assembly of Georgia--the peo-

146

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

pie's representatives--has regained its rightful responsibilities over the appropriation of public funds.
My friends, the Legislature of Georgia is once again master in its own house!
Not only that, the two-year budget which I am presenting to you does not call for the enactment of any new or additional taxes!
Down to Business This is a solemn occasion for me, and I know for all of you, when we get down to the real business of launching together a new Georgia State administration.
We enter upon this new partnership with confidence . . . with clear-cut aims and a solid determination to achieve those aims.
What are they?
New jobs.
New industries.
New payrolls.
Increased incomes.
Expanded research.
New capital.
Resource development.
Quality education.
Improved health and welfare.
Better highways.
A people moving.
A people united.
A State on the go. The hopes . . . the prayers . . . the faith of four million people, gentlemen, are with us today, suporting our efforts to reassert Geor gia's pioneering spirit and all its traditional strength and drive.
You and I will work tirelessly and harmoniously to improve the opportunities offered our young people and all Georgians, no matter what their station or condition.
One Georgia In the platform I offered to the people of Georgia during last sum mer's campaign, I said that rural and urban areas have many interests in common and many goals to achieve.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1963

147

I stressed that no part of our State can reach its full potential unless all parts prosper.
I repeat that now!
Stable, responsible, effective State government, serving ALL Geor gia's needs, is my philosophy.

That is what I consider a truly unified, a "one" Georgia, and that will be the program theme of my Administration.
Look to Future
My friends, the question uppermost in the minds of all our people at this hour is what do the coming four years hold?

What will be the policy of the new General Assembly and the new Administration?

CONSOLIDATING OUR GAINS AND MOVING AHEAD!
Now it is up to us to carry out the people's mandate, to translate the brave promises for the future into realities.

Our Own House in Order
While I am speaking of the rights of the people, I want to mention the rights of the State of Georgia.

My friends, these rights have undergone many onslaughts in recent years. No one can tell how far the battle will be pressed, or when it will end.

We all agree, however, that much of this problem has come about only because the states of this nation failed to solve their own problems. This Administration will work to solve our problems and to eliminate the specter of Federal intervention in our State.
My responsibility . . . your responsibility ... is to the people of this State. The people of Georgia have proved their responsibility and their determination to solve their own problems and handle their own affairs.
They have shown time and again that they are law-abiding citizens who recognize their duties to State and country.

We are a responsible government.
This being true--interference or intervention--into the purelyinternal affairs of Georgia--is totally unjustified and will not be tol erated without the strongest protest and every lawful resistance.
The New Budget
For those of us who have served in previous General Assemblies, this is a day to which we have long looked forward--a day when we

148

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

would receive at the beginning of our Session a comprehensive, detailed budget and an appropriations bill.

I now take pleasure in presenting to the Lieutenant Governor and to the Speaker, copies of the following documents:

1. A draft of my Budget Message.

2. A summary of State appropriations and estimates.

3. Comparative charts showing how expenditures are divided by function.

4. And a detailed budget covering all aspects of the general gov ernment, department by department, agency by agency, calling for the expenditure of nearly one BILLION dollars over the biennium.

Hold the Line
During the coming fiscal year 1963-64, the budget calls for an expenditure of $465,000,000 and during the fiscal year 1964-65, for $489,000,000.

It is my considered judgment and that of the budget authorities, after careful study, that this budget can be financed provided estimated income and surpluses materialize. I would point out to you that this is predicated upon an estimated amount of $18,000,000 expected to accrue to the State by certain changes in collection procedures, and by placing corporations on a withholding basis similar to that now provided for individuals.

Let me emphasize that we must hold expenditures to the recom mended maximums for each fiscal year. We must firmly resist unrea sonable demands for spending money which we don't have and couldn't expect to have under any kind of tax structure.

Briefly, here are some of the highlights of the new budget:

Common Schools Education has the number one priority.

The budget provides for--

A $300 teacher raise; $100 for the first fiscal year of the biennium, and an additional $200 for the second year. That is in addition to the $200 raise granted four months ago, the cost of which is also in this budget. This is an increase of $500 across the board in a period of 22 months.

In our proposed budget, the State of Georgia is providing for--1275 new teachers.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1963

149

175 additional teachers for exceptional children.

$2,000,000 to open and begin operation of a statewide system of area trade schools.

$200,000 to begin operation of two new educational television sta tions.

There are also funds to finance amortization of $25,000,000 in new school construction to provide classrooms for rapidly-growing areas.

University System
For the University System, the appropriation bill provides an addi tional $4,330,000 dollars in the first year of the biennium, and a further increase of $3,300,000 dollars in the second year.

This will provide:

Funds to open new buildings costing $13,000,000 now being com pleted on the campuses of the colleges of Georgia.

Additional teaching staff necessary to accommodate 4,100 new col lege students during the period.

Faculty salary increases comparable to those provided for teachers in the common schools.

Funds to finance $16 million dollars in new classrooms, laboratories and other facilities.

Added money for the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital.

A new plant for Armstrong College at Savannah, with plans for its future development as a four-year institution.

Expansion at Augusta College, making it a four-year institution.

Support for a new junior college at Brunswick.

Community Colleges
I have long been an advocate of the community four-year and junior college program.
Under the appropriations contained in the new budget, and through the Board of Regents, I am told that funds can be made available for operating three new junior colleges--two in northwest Georgia and one in southwest Georgia--and that there are communities in these areas which can now provide the local capital for these new institu tions. We will expand this program into other areas of the State just

150

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

as soon as determination can be made as to their ability to support a community college program.
Every boy and girl in Georgia, no matter how rich or poor, should have the opportunity of a college education and it is my intention to make this possible.
Teacher Retirement
In the budget, you will find an increased appropriation for the State Teacher Retirement System to match additional teacher contribu tions occasioned by annual salary increases.
Support of Education
May I point out here that aside from the mandatory and auto matic constitutional appropriation to the Highway Department, Edu cation in the budget is receiving 72 per cent of all increases. I think it noteworthy to point out that a summary of State fund appropriations and estimates indicates that in the first year of the biennium, appro priations to education will comprise 56.1 per cent of total expenditures, and in the second year, 56.9 per cent--the highest percentages ever.

Gentlemen, the principal reason why teachers' salaries in Georgia now lag behind the national average by some $1,000 is the inadequacy of local support under the present "1946 model" educational fund formula.

It is amazing that Georgia is seventh in the nation in State sup port of education, but 41st in local support.

In little more than a decade, State funds for education have quad rupled.

But on the local level, they have only doubled.
Local support for education in Georgia is only half enough and until this lack of local support is attacked fundamentally, Georgia can not expect to do the job for her teachers and children which should be done.
I am unwilling to ask you for further vast amounts of new money, other than those suggested in the Budget today, to be pumped into the present antiquated educational formula until you and I have a closer look at how present funds are being spent.
We will do this through a representative commission to study the needs of education at all levels.
Let there be no mistake about it, on the part of anyone.
Let no department or department head suffer any illusion.
When this State committed itself to a modern budgeting system, the day of the unjustified lump-sum appropriations to any department,

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1963

151

without the Governor and the General Assembly knowing specifically how the money is to be spent, is over and done with in Georgia.

Highways
For highways, the constitutional mandate is being carried out-- a total increase of $5,480,000 during the two fiscal years, including the sum of $1,000,000 in each year for grants to cities and towns to assist them in the construction and upkeep of their streets.

Agriculture
Also provided in the new budget is more than ten million dollars for the biennium to carry forward the greatly expanded agricultural programs introduced in fiscal 1962. Support is provided for the Com missioner's office, farm information services, marketing, laboratories, inspection, seed and plant control, livestock disease control, entomology, farmers' markets and the Georgia Milk Commission.

Mental Health
In the vital field of mental health, an increase of $9,703,000 is budgeted for the next two years.

These funds will go to Milledgeville State Hospital, Gracewood State School and Hospital, and the State Mental Health Center.

Youth Department
To staff a new Department of Youth, we have included $150,000 for the first year of the biennium and $300,000 for the second year of the biennium.
Other Items
Funds are also included to:

Strengthen the Highway Patrol and Drivers' License Program.

Reorganize and modernize the Revenue Department.
Meet the interest costs of private loans to counties for property revaluation programs.
Improve working hours and the compensation of employees in our prison system, and provide for better sanitation and some psychiatric services in our prisons.
Institute closer and stricter Parole and Probation supervision sys tems.
Expand operations of the new State Board of Industry and Trade to more effectively promote new and expanded industry and tourism by providing a million-dollar-per-year program in this field.

152

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Continue construction of hospitals and hospital additions through out the State.
Continue the development of Stone Mountain and Jekyll Island.

Open and operate a new State Archives Building.

Legislative Program
The Appropriations Bill, of course, is the first item in the Adminis tration's legislative program.
Although time does not permit a detailed explanation of every item, my major proposals are:
CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION--Since the Session this year will adjourn in order to allow study of the Appropriations Bill, I ask the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker to name a joint committee from the House and Senate to study and advise with me between now and the time you reconvene on the advisability of creating a representative constitutional revision commission to revise and to present to the Gen eral Assembly for submission to the people of Georgia, a proposed new Constitution.
I suggest this because the present Georgia Constitution has been amended a total of 381 times since it was adopted in 1945. It has become a disjointed document, more in the nature of a local code than a State Constitution. In 1962 alone, we voted on 109 amendments. The General Election ballot often has the appearance of a bedsheet, frustrating the true expression of the people.
HIGHWAY REFORM--A bill, to become effective immediately, to create a 10-member State Highway Board and a director; a constitu tional amendment to place this reform in the organic law. Their pur pose--to take the highway department out of politics, to assure a plan ned long-range State system of well-maintained rural roads, a main highways, through streets, and interstate routes. It will be my recom mendation that as one of its first tasks, the new Highway Board com plete a study of total highway needs for the next twenty-five years.

STRUCTURAL REORGANIZATION--A resolution to create a Governor's Commission for Efficiency and Improvement of Govern mental Operations. A companion bill authorizing the Governor to effect consolidation of functions and agencies of the State government, within constitutional limitations, subject to the ratification or rejection of the next sitting General Assembly.
EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE--A reso lution to create a Commission to Improve Education in Georgia, to study and report on the needs of Georgia's common school and higher edu cation programs.
LEGISLATIVE REORGANIZATION--Constitutional amendment: A resolution to strengthen continuity in the Senate by placing Senators on four-year terms.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1963

153

CORPORATE WITHHOLDING--A bill to extend the phenomenally successful practice of withholding to corporate returns, putting State income on a level flow and minimizing evasion or losses.

INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION--An effective bill to limit the sales or use tax on productive machinery for new industry or expansion of existing industry, where it is related to increased employment.

DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH--A measure creating a Department of Youth.

MOUNTAIN AUTHORITY--A bill to establish a Georgia Moun tains Authority to develop the State's scenic mountain and lake attrac tions.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT COOPERATION--A bill to authorize State departments and agencies to extend service cooperation to county and municipal governments to achieve actuarilly sound pension plans, prudent debt practices and better financial administration. Another bill authorizing the cooperation and granting by the State of incentives to local governments to consolidate services across county lines where studies show the same to be economically feasible, and a bill to end speed traps.

GRANTS TO COUNTIES FOR TAX EQUALIZATION--A bill to provide grants to counties for paying interest on tax equalization loans.

PAYMENT OF TAXES WITH PURCHASE OF TAGS--A reso lution to provide that ad valorem taxes on motor vehicles will be col lected at the time of the purchase of the tags.

COUNTY MERGERS--An amendment to Paragraph IV of Section I of Article XI of the Constitution, which would allow the merger of two or more counties with the concurrence of a majority of the voters in each county affected, instead of the two-thirds as is now required.

Fair Elections Code
Every time we have elections in Georgia, we read of practices that are shocking, and which, if we allow to spread, can serve only in the end to deprive our people of every semblance of representative gov ernment. To correct these injustices, I will propose to you that we re write this year, and present at your next regular Session, a fair Elec tions Code for Georgia.
Crime and Punishment
As Governor, I intend to mobilize all the resources of State gov ernment against the rampant forces of crime and lawlessness. We will strengthen the State's law enforcement arms and cooperate with local enforcement agencies in a battle to eradicate crime from our State. We must establish and operate a police academy. We must also enact legis-

154

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

lation to institute an enlightened and effective program for rehabilita tion of all types of offenders. Particularly, we must do this in regard to juvenile defenders by revising our laws with reference to their trial and punishment.

I hereby place all criminals and criminal elements on notice that Georgia is not going to become a haven or harbor for any type of unlawful activity.

My friends, I extend the hand of friendship and cooperation to every member here, and indeed, to every Georgia citizen. With some of you, I have waged political battle, and with others I have been allied. To all, I repeat that I harbor no malice, and I pray that no person harbors malice for me.
Gentlemen, we have an order to fill--
Dynamic, Progressive, honest, economical State government.
I look forward enthusiastically to working with the people of our State--with you--with every constructive group in marshaling our God-given resources and bringing into the fore our best talent, our best brainpower, our best abilities, to carry Georgia to the summit of esteem and recognition in our nation.
Together, we shall make a growing Georgia, a going Georgia.

WHEREAS, there has been considerable discussion by farmers and other agricultural leaders as to the effect of Maleic Hydrazide (commonly known as "MH-30") and other cultural practices upon the quality of flue cured tobacco grown in the State of Georgia; and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the reputable and educated to bacco growers of Georgia that it is only the improper and excessive misuse of "MH-30" which might tend to adversely affect the quality of tobacco and that when used properly and in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations, "MH-30" will have no adverse effect upon the quality of tobacco grown in Georgia; and
WHEREAS, it is the further opinion of the reputable and edu cated tobacco farmers of Georgia that "MH-30" is of vital importance

WHEREAS, through proper self-discipline and adherence to strict and approved farming methods, it is possible to minimize the misuse of "MH-30" and other undesirable cultural practices; and

WHEREAS, it is of the utmost importance that all the tobacco farmers in Georgia be appraised of the proper method of using said "MH-30" and that an educational program needs to be put into effec tive operation as rapidly as possible so as to guard against both the misuse of this chemical and the numerous other undesirable cultural practices so as to produce the high quality of tobacco that Georgia growers have traditionally produced.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA, that all tobacco farmers of the State of Georgia pledge forthwith to police themselves and thereby eliminate any improper or excessive misuse of the chemical "MH-30" as well as other undesirable cultural practices that should not be used in the pro duction of quality flue cured tobacco, so as to assure the buyers and consumers that the quality of said tobacco has in no way been adversely affected and meets the traditional high quality standards of Georgia grown tobacco.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture and the Georgia State Extension Service through their various facilities and resources, including the county agents located in the several tobacco producing counties, conduct an immediate pro gram for the education of the tobacco farmers of Georgia in the most beneficial and proper use of "MH-30" and the practice of other desir able cultural methods from the standpoint of producing high quality tobacco and that such program shall have top priority above all others due to the emergency and importance of the situation.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Representative Hall, Atlanta, Georgia, Friday, February 15, 1963.

The House met pursuant to adjournment at 10:00 o'clock, A.M., this day and was called to order by the Speaker.
The following prayer was offered by Reverend Charles 0. Walker, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Jasper, Georgia:
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!"
"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. From the ends of the earth thy people praise thy righteousness.
Yet, when we raise our voices in praise, our minds return to our own wicked ness and we condemn ourselves. We are sinful O Lord. We have done those things that ought not to have been done and left undone those things which should have been done. Be merciful to us and grant us pardon.
We thank thee, for the blessings thou hast granted to our State. For the wise men of the past who charted the course of freedom which we enjoy. For the people who have preserved our heritage to this day.
We are grateful for these men who serve our people in the House of Repre sentatives. Grant to them, our Senators and our Governor, wisdom, guidance, strength of character, strength of mind and body and all things necessary to gov ern our citizens, wisely and justly.
These and all other favors we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

HR 142. By Messrs. Smith of Forsyth, Meeks of Union, Milford of Franklin and many others: A RESOLUTION
Calling upon the President to take certain measures relating to the poultry industry; and for other purposes.

638

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, the U. S. poultry industry has developed a $50,000,000 a year market in the Common Market countries, primarily West Ger many; and

WHEREAS, the market has grown each year and could continue to increase considerably in the absence of unreasonable and discriminatory barriers; and

WHEREAS, the U. S. poultry industry has done extensive promo tion in these countries so that consumption and local production have also increased; and

WHEREAS, the imposition of gate prices and variable import levies have brought about a loss of this valuable market; and

WHEREAS, levies on U. S. poultry were increased from approxi mately 16% to approximately 43% on whole broilers and 32% on certain parts; and

WHEREAS, U. S. imports from Common Market countries have continued to increase each year; and

WHEREAS, Georgia producers and processors were shipping over 4% million pounds per month prior to the first levies, with shipments dropping to approximately 1% million pounds per month following the first levy and to practically nothing following the additional levy; and

WHEREAS, this means a direct loss to Georgia of $16,000,000 of export income; and

WHEREAS, additional losses through depressed domestic prices might result if this volume is continually forced back into domestic chan nels; and
WHEREAS, the loss of these poultry exports which generated $80,000,000 of business for the state annually means a loss to feed, ports, utilities, banking, insurance, transportation, paper, retail, wholesale and many other industries; and
WHEREAS, the levies in question are contrary to the General Agree ment on Tariffs and Trade; and
WHEREAS, immediate action to obtain fair import levies on U. S. poultry is of vital importance to the Georgia poultry industry which represents over 32% of total farm income and brings the state $500,000,000 a year directly, and generates $2% billion a year business; and
WHEREAS, 160,000 Georgians earn their living from poultry and others benefit indirectly from this giant agri-business; and
WHEREAS, this is a forerunner of problems for other commodities which might be avoided if the U. S. government acts forcefully and settles this one; and

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1963

639

WHEREAS, the U. S. is now exporting l/6th of our agricultural production and Georgia is exporting l/5th of its production; and

WHEREAS, 41,600 Georgia farm workers may be attributed to the production of farm products for export; and

WHEREAS, quick results might serve as a deterrent of other prob lems which would affect the state and nation; and

WHEREAS, the barriers proposed by the Common Market would destroy the competitive position our farm products have gained through efficiency; and

WHEREAS, the loss of agricultural exports which may result if the Common Market agricultural proposals are imposed on our agricul tural products will weaken our ability to carry the heavy financial bur den which the United States now assumes in the effort to protect and strengthen the free world.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that this body does recommend that the Georgia Congressional delegation continue and redouble its efforts for imme diate action and that this body further recommends that President Ken nedy take immediate steps including use of the retaliatory powers of the Trade Expansion Act if necessary, to obtain prompt removal of these unfair and discriminatory levies.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Rep resentatives is hereby authorized and directed to forward appropriate copy of this Resolution to each Member of the United States Congress from Georgia, President John F. Kennedy, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman, and Ambassador Christian
Herter.

The following Resolution of the House was read and referred to the Committee on Special Judiciary:

WHEREAS, the operation of the various public utilities in the State of Georgia has a most profound effect upon every citizen of this State

640

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

both as it affects him individually and as it affects the operation of his community; and
WHEREAS, this is a time of increasing modernization and expan sion of services supplied by the public utilities and their ability to fur nish these services to the more sparsely populated areas of Georgia; and
WHEREAS, because of this public dependence on these public utili ties and because of the fact that their great size necessitates that their actions be kept under close scrutiny.

The following report was received:
MINORITY REPORT BY CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE
Mr. Speaker:
The Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives has had under consideration the following Bill of the Senate:
"SB 62. By Senators Smalley of the 28th, Pannell of the 54th, Phillips of the 27th and others:
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
An Act to authorize the Supreme Court of Georgia to establish, as an administrative arm of the Court, a unified, self-governing bar association to be known as the 'State Bar of Georgia' composed of all persons now or hereafter licensed to practice law in this State." and the same has been reported back to the House of Representatives by a majority of the members of said Committee with the recommenda tion that the same "do pass".
We, the undersigned, being duly appointed members of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives disagree with the report made by the majority of the members of the Judicial Committee and respectfully submit our recommendation to the House of Representa tives that SB 62 "do not pass".
Having heard the proponents of said Bill and the opponents, it is the conclusion of the undersigned that the Bill is an effort to take the control of the Georgia Lawyers away from the General Assembly of Georgia and place it with the Supreme Court of Georgia.
This is evident in view of the vagueness of the Bill, since it is bare of any rules it proposes the Court to promulgate; however, dele gating the Authority out-right.

830

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

It is realized by the undersigned that the Supreme Court could now suggest through the Legislative Committee of the Georgia Bar Association, any rules or regulations it deems needful, which in turn could be introduced in the form of a Bill and passed upon by the General Assembly. We conclude that this method is workable assuming the effort is made by the Bar Association, because the peoples' Representa tives will then pass on any proposed Rules, and the people affected can be heard.

The proponents admit that the Bill delegates authority to make rules, without stating what rules are needed and without stating a specific instance of need for additional rules.

The proponents merely suggest by conclusion that the Bill will up-grade the Georgia Lawyers, by continuing their education, and by bringing the Lawyers under the unnamed rules.

This presents the serious question of whether or not the proposed Incorporated Bar will require additional compulsory Education by forceable attendance at University Spsonsored Seminars in Athens, Georgia, if so, will it apply to all Lawyers regardless of previous legal education and experience? Nothing in the Bill answers this question.

Another question of vital concern to the people of Georgia, is whether or not the term "upgrade" shall mean a rule of the Incorporated Bar that a minimum Fee Schedule shall uniformly apply all over Geor gia without regard to local economic situations. In this respect a few years ago it is noted that the Georgia Bar Association suggested a minimum fee schedule wholely untenable with many rural areas, which we must assume served the large urban areas, because the suggestions were for increasing usual minimum fees in some areas of our state, 100%. The masses of the people of some areas could not afford these fees.

In view of the vagueness of the Bill, and the points set out above, the undersigned decline to vote favorably on its passage.

This minority report respectfully submitted, this the 26 day of February, 1963.
Respectfully submitted,
Bynum of Rabun Snow of Walker Tucker of Catoosa

Mr. Fowler of Douglas requested that these following remarks be included in todays Journal in connection with HB 48:
Statement to the House of Representatives
One of the fundamental weaknesses of our new budgetary pro cedure has become apparent with the consideration of the governor's recommended budget for 1964-65.
The application of surplus and non-recurring revenue funds to establish an unrealistic rate of spending increase as compared to the annual recurring revenue increase rate estimate is a questionable practice to the prudent business man and is at the least unsound fiscal policy for a state government.
This action allows new programs to begin or old ones to accelerate with the result that when "windfall" and surplus funds are depleted the state is left with a spending velocity that cannot be maintained unless new taxes are enacted to keep the spending fire fueled.
Another drastic alternative is of course obvious. A severe, un economical cut-back of substantial proportions in budget increase rates during the following biennium that would casue the state to face financial losses and hardships in many different ways.
The adoption of the governor's proposed budget this year will place intolerable pressures on the administration and the general assembly in 1965 to continue many programs by then well under way making any great cut-back of spending impossible. That your committee has been unable to make cuts in the proposed budget this year of a sub stantial nature is testimony to this prediction.
This very fact makes it necessary for the general assembly to use its good judgment in this matter and limit the amount of funds avail able for budgeting.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1963

859

The fact is that the result of this budget, unless recurring revenue exceeds the estimates by a substantial amount, in a financial crisis and increased taxes. This is the time of decision. The course is being set now. Should a small recession come upon us, then the result could be even more drastic and the crisis more severe. It has been said this is a "tight" budget. To me it is too "loose," insofar as basic policy is concerned.

The folly of treating surplus and non-recurring revenue as ordinary recurring income and spending it out over the short period of two years is the first step in destroying the results of recently hard fought battles to restore to the General Assembly its right to appropriate public funds in truth and in fact.

This fight will have been in vain unless the general assembly does its duty and firmly grasps the purse strings and holds them tight with truly prudent appropriating.

I would suggest amendments to our basic budget laws that would make it necessary that surplus and non-recurring revenue funds be spread out over several years time in the budgeting process. Thus we would hold the spending rate increase near the recurring revenue rate increase. I plan to offer such amendments at the 1964 session of the general assembly.

In the meantime I would suggest a two and % per cent reduction in spending in each year of this Act which would go far toward keeping our spending increase in line with our recurring revenue increase and at the same time allow prudent use of present surplus and estimated non-recurring revenue funds.

HR 180. By Messrs. Pickard and Dicus of Muscogee:
"A JOINT RESOLUTION MEMORIALIZING THE PRESIDENT AND THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO ELIMINATE THE INEQUITY OF THE TWO-PRICE SYSTEM OF COTTON COST"
WHEREAS, On September 6, 1962, the President of the United States, following the Tariff Commission's rejection of the Department of Agriculture's recommendation for an import fee of eight and onehalf (8%^) cents a pound on the raw cotton content of textile imports to offset the difference between the price of raw American cotton to

FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1963

917

foreign mills and the price which American mills are required to pay for the same cotton, stated the following:

"Thus, the inequity of the two-price system of cotton costs remains as a unique burden upon the American textile industry, for which a solution must be found in the near future.

"I am, therefore, requesting the Department of Agriculture to give immediate attention to the formulation of a domestic program that would eliminate this inequity. I am also instructing all other depart ments and offices of the executive branch to cooperate fully to this end. Such a program will undoubtedly require enabling legislation'; and

WHEREAS, In his farm message of January 31, 1963, the President stated: A healthy, growing cotton industry is vital to the strength and prosperity of our Nation. Over a million persons are engaged in producing our cotton crop. Another million and a half are employed in converting the raw cotton into consumer items. Additional millions supply good and services to this industry. Cotton exports contribute significantly to our balance of payments position.

"Our cotton industry--both producers and mills--is confronted with many problems which it alone cannot resolve. Because domestic prices are much higher than those of foreign producers, our cotton mills must pay substantially more for cotton than their off-shore competitors. Domestic cotton textile products are being displaced not only by substi tute fibers in consumer products but also by increased cotton imports. Cotton exports are sharply lower.

"Loss of markets for United States cotton increases surplus stocks held by the CCC, causes higher and higher government costs, and re duces the cotton farmer's income; and
WHEREAS, The textile industry in Georgia is and has been the backbone of the economy of our state, directly employing almost 100,000 persons making it the largest single industrial employer in the state; and

WHEREAS, Many additional thousands of Georgians are employed in supplying services and goods to the textile industry and hundreds of thousands more are dependent on it for livelihood; and
WHEREAS, These imports of foreign cotton textiles and the unjust inequity of the two-price system for cotton have created a situation that seriously threatens the entire economy of our State and Nation and are responsible for the loss of hundreds of thousands of textile jobs, curtailment of the hours worked in the textile industry, and the closing of many textile plants; and
WHEREAS, It is acknowledged that the welfare of all Georgians is vitally dependent on a healthy, growing textile industry; be it
RESOLVED, By the House of Representatives, the Senate con curring:

918

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Section 1. That the Georgia General Assembly implores the Presi dent and the Congress of the United States to take whatever steps are necessary to make American cotton available to American purchasers at the same price American cotton is made available to foreign pur chasers.

This is a great personal privilege and pleasure for me to speak with the executive and legislative officials of my home state. On behalf

956

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of Commander W. D. Harrell, of the Department of Georgia; Depart ment Adjutant George Osborne, National Executive Committeeman Jack Langford, the nearly 50,000 American Legionnaires of this great state, and Legionnaires everywhere, my sincere thanks for the honor you have accorded The Legion in permitting me to appear here today.

Among other things, this affords me the opportunity to express the thanks of The American Legion for the many considerations you have given to the veteran population of Georgia, and for the invaluable services you have rendered to all of your fellow citizens. Being no stranger to these precincts, I have personal knowledge of your many fine works on behalf of Georgia's veterans.

I am proud to share with you the rich heritage of citizenship in this great state, and as an American Legionnaire, I am proud to share with you the continuing responsibility of perpetuating the principles of freedom, justice and democracy for our children and for generations of Americans yet unborn.

Each of us is acutely aware of the fundamental differences be tween our democratic system of government and that system which would seek to destroy our way of life and our freedoms, and reduce us to a state of servitude that is completely alien to everything American.

I speak, of course, of government by regimentation, which charac terizes the totalitarian state and which has achieved the ultimate in tyranny, despotism and inhumanity under the international communist conspiracy.
Here in America the individual retains the right to freely seek his destiny so long as he does not infringe upon the rights and privileges of his fellow man. Here we have government by representation, as opposed to government by regimentation.
I'm sure that everyone in this room is aware that The American Legion is a firm believer in this system of ours. Because we believe, we have never hesitated to make our voice heard, be it from the floor of the city council, the chambers of the state legislature, or in the halls of the Congress of the United States.
We regard participation in the affairs of community, state and nation, both as a privilege and a responsibility, and we believe we have little claim to the privileges of citizenship unless we are willing to accept the accompanying responsibility.
The American Legion, my friends, is an action organization, a fact of which you veteran legislators are well aware. We express ourselves through four basic programs of service to God and Country--programs which were conceived by the founders of The Legion just 44 years ago this month at the famous Paris Caucus where The Legion was born.
These programs of rehabilitation, child welfare, Americanism and national security have withstood the tests of time, and through the

MONDAY, MARCH 4, 1963

957

years each of them has proved its worth by contributing immeasurably to the maintenance of a strong and free society.

On countless occasions we have found it necessary to take our pro grams before the Congress of the United States, and to the legislatures of the several states, in order to make them effective. Seldom have we failed to find a receptive audience for we have built a sound reputation for sponsoring or backing only that legislation which we believe to be for the good of the nation, and that which is germane to the principles and programs of The Legion.

It is not uncommon for us to encounter viewpoints that are widely divergent from those of The Legion, but this too is good, for out of free discussion and debate evolve those decisions which we believe produce the maximum good for the greatest numbers of our citizens.

Being cognizant and appreciative of all that is good about this system of ours, we may well ask ourselves if ours could become a gov ernment by regimentation rather than government by representation. I say to you in all sincerity, that it not only can, it will, if we should ever abandon the responsibilities of citizenship. This applies equally to all Americans, not just to American Legionnaires.

The American Legion, my friends, is dedicated to the proposition that it shall not happen here.

That creeping paralysis of the mind and the spirit of man, a ter rible byproduct of communism, has, during the years since the close of World War II, spread its influence over the lives of nearly a billion people and extended its tentacles dangerously close to American shores with the establishment of a red stronghold in Castro's Cuba.

I was in the Caribbean area early last fall, shortly after my elec tion as National Commander of The American Legion. I was in the process of receiving a briefing by the military commanders of the Antilles Defense Command at the very moment that President Kennedy announced to the nation the extent of the communist offensive military build-up in Cuba and the gravity of the threat which that buildup posed to the Americas.

The strong and necessary measures which he instituted immediately to counter that threat were met with unanimous approval by the people of that part of the world.

In the name of The American Legion, I wired the President at the White House, pledging to him the whole-hearted support of the Legion in this and any other action which the administration deemed necessary to rid this hemisphere of the cancer of communism.

We of The Legion believe that this was a necessary first step in the removal of the Castro regime from Cuba. We have been on the record officially, since our 1960 Convention in Miami, for a "get tough" policy with Castro for we recognized at an early stage that here was a move-

958

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

ment vastly more sinister in nature than a simple agrarian revolu tionary reform. It has long since proved to be a revolution of the same nature that catapulted Mao Tse Tung to power in China, and has de livered another once-free nation into the hands of communism.

The American Legion is diametrically opposed to the announced plans by the United Nations to sponsor an agricultural aid project for Cuba to cost in excess of a million dollars.

The Legion, and the American people generally, stood firmly be hind President Kennedy last fall when he announced that the United States would institute a naval blockade of Cuba to enforce demands for the removal of Soviet offensive weapons from this island dominated by the red-controlled government of Fidel Castro.

This was an action fraught with peril, yet the American people stood united and voiced near unanimous approval of the move, and we believe it was an expression of the real feelings of our citizens regard ing the necessity to destroy Castroism.

We may have deep sympathies for the Cuban people--but not for the government of Fidel Castro. The problems which Cuba now faces are completely of the making of the Castro government and its Kremlin masters. There is absolutely no justification for this nation, or for any organization to which we contribute the lion's share of financial support, to help bail Castro out of his difficulties. To our way of thinking, this action would provide aid and comfort to a sworn enemy of the United States.

I say that our all-out efforts should be in the exact opposite direc tion--that of contributing mightily to the quick and complete demise of the Catro regime and to restore to the freedom-loving Cuban people the right to select a government of their own choosing. We believe that total economic sanctions are in order against Cuba, and that as tight a blockade as can be achieved should be reinstated. We believe that should these methods fail to bring Castro to his knees then the Organi zation of American States should make available to freedom-loving Cubans all the resources at their command to destroy the Castro regime. As a course of last resort, we believe that direct military intervention by the OAS if possible, but by the United States, unilaterally if neces sary, is justified to remove the menace of communism from this hemis phere.
We, and our sister states of this hemisphere, must recognize that we cannot tolerate indefinitely this communist bastion which serves not only as a base for a possible military offensive, but which is a constant threat as a port of embarkation for subversives whose objective it is to foment, strife and unrest throughout the Americas.
During December of 1962, I was privileged to visit in the Far East, touching such points as Hong Kong, Taipei, and Saigon. There in the jungles of Viet Nam, half a world removed from Cuba, I found that the impact of the firm stand by the United States in the Cuban crisis had been felt.

MONDAY, MARCH 4, 1963

959

I found that the prestige of the United States had, by virtue of that single firm and positive action, risen to heights that we have not reached since the close of World War II. Frankly, I was surprised that they had even heard of the Cuban action in that remote quarter of the globe. The very fact that they had, and were so favorably impressed by it, is new evidence of the validity of a position long held by The American Legion. It is simply this: The United States does not have to compete in a popularity contest to win the esteem of her friends and the respect of her foes. We will accomplish these ends much more readily by providing the firm type of leadership that the world has come to expect of us.

I could say a great deal more about this "dirty little war" in Viet Nam, but time will not permit. Suffice it to say that our military advisors on this remote outpost of freedom assured me that they knew why they were there--and they asked me not to let the American people forget why there are there.

They are there to halt the advance of communism, and in their own words, they would rather do it there than in the streets of Los Angeles, New York, or Atlanta.

This we see as an important part of our task as The American Legion faces one of the greatest challenges in our 44-year history-- that of keeping the American people informed of the dangers which confront us, and of helping to muster all of the moral and physical forces of this, the greatest nation on earth, that we may be prepared for any eventuality.

In conclusion, may I say that I am impressed by the caliber of men and women who now seek to serve their state and their nation in the halls of the legislatures of the several states. The dedicated serv ice of men and women like yourselves gives rise for new confidence in the future of America. I hasten to add that The American Legion has never held any view other than one of complete confidence and optimism for the future of this nation.

We know, as we seek to strengthen the country at the national level, that your efforts on behalf of the state are aimed at the same objec tive, for the nation can be no stronger than the combined strength of the several states, and the state can be no stronger than the combined strength of its many communities and of its individual citizens.

We of The American Legion wish you every success for a most fruitful and productive session of this legislature, and we know that we have common cause with you in our mutual efforts to serve the community, the state and the nation.

Senator Pannell of the 54th moved that the Joint Session of the General Assembly be dissolved and the motion prevailed.

The President of the Senate announced the Joint Session dissolved.

resources and vocational training, the increase of industrial employ ment, and the making of long-range plans for the coordination of such development, promotion and expansion within the jurisdictional area of the Authority and to promote the general welfare of the state.

SECTION 10
No revenue bonds shall be validated hereunder unless prior thereto: (1) A valid and binding lease shall have been formally exe
cuted by a lessee for use of the facility to be constructed by the Authority or a valid and binding contract for the sale of such building or facility shall have been entered into with a purchaser;
(2) There shall have been obtained from the Department of Industry and Trade, or any successor body, a certificate stating that such financing is needed, that the undertaking is economically feasible and that the repayment of the obligation appears probable: Provided, however, any application for such a certificate not acted on by the Department within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof shall be deemed to have been approved.

SECTION 11
The provisions hereof shall be liberally construed to effect the pur poses hereof, and in so far as the provisions of this Act may be in consistent with the provisions of any other law, including the charter of any municipal corporation, this Act shall be controlling. The sale or issuance of bonds by any Authority shall not be subject to regulation under the Georgia Securities Law or any other law. No proceeding or publication not herein required shall be necessary to the performance of any act herein authorized nor shall any such act be subject to referendum.
SECTION 12
No bonds or other obligations of and no indebtedness incurred by any Authority shall constitute an indebtedness or obligation of the State of Georgia or any county or municipal corporation therein nor shall any act of any Authority in any manner constitute or result in the creation of an indebtedness of the state or any such county or municipal corporation. All such bonds and obligations shall be payable solely from the revenues therein pledged to such payment, including pledged rentals, sales proceeds, insurance proceeds and condemnation awards, and no holder or holders of any such bonds or obligations shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the state or any county or municipal corporation therein nor to enforce the payment thereof against any property of the state or any such county or municipal corporation.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR GEER, SPEAKER SMITH, MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND MY FELLOW GEORGIANS:
My appearance before you this morning is for the purpose of dis cussing with you my plans and recommendations for the establishment of a new division of state government, a division to deal with special problems of the children and youth of our state.
I believe that what I will have to say will be of interest not only to you but also to every thoughtful citizen.
During my campaign for the office of Governor, I stated many times that I intended to do something about the problems of the young people of Georgia.
I am sure that many of you were motivated to run for office because of your desire, through public service, to do something to improve the opportunities of the boys and girls throughout our State.

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1963

1037

Together we share a responsibility to act boldly, to act vigorously and to act intelligently in carrying out our commitments.

Our great natural resources are our children and youth.

Of our four million population, one million five hundred thousand are under the age of seventeen years. More than one million one hundred thousand of these are enrolled in our public schools.

I am proud of the fact that my administration is pledged to put youth first.

In the Budget Bill I proposed, and in the Appropriations Bill which has passed the House, more than half of every tax dollar is committed, to providing better opportunities for our young people.

But we must not be content to rest on our oars, to let well enough alone, or to be satisfied with what we have done and are doing.

For this reason I have proposed the creation of a Commission to Improve Education at all levels, and you have given me your support for this proposal.

Surely, we can do a better job of providing educational opportunities for our youth . . .

But, perhaps better than any other group of men in our state, you know that good intentions alone are not enough.

To really improve educational opportunity, we must have the com mitment of money, of thought, of organizational skill . . .

And, above all, the dedication of men and women to the teaching profession.

I do not feel it is possible to build a progressive Georgia and, at the same time, neglect our young people. Their sound growth and the future of our state are inseparably bound together.

During my years in office, I intend to devote my energies and my thoughts toward strengthening education at all levels. We must provide our children and youth with the training and skills required to compete in today's worth.
As we move into an era of more rapid industrialization, there will be a greater demand for skilled labor.
Indeed, unless we produce skilled workers, industrialization cannot proceed.
Not only will better education provide higher per capita income, it will, more importantly, help individuals live more meaningful lives,

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

have more closely-knit families, and assist them in all their dealings with their fellow men.

This morning I want to give you my views regarding some special problems of youth which have been a source of concern to our church people, our civic leaders, our law enforcement and court officials, and, indeed, all who are aware of what goes on in our society.

I speak of Georgia's Troubled Youth.

Although nineteen out of every twenty boys and girls in Georgia are making a good adjustment to life, one out of twenty encounters serious problems of neglect, emotional disturbance or serious behavior difficulties.

We have observed the pattern over the years that where a boy or girl gets into serious difficulty, in many instances, these same indi viduals later become patients in our mental hospitals, inmates of our prisons, or dependents on our welfare rolls.

Moreover, we have seen that there is a vicious cycle that runs through generations--and we find the children of these people often suffer a similar fate.

This is not a new problem about which I speak, but it is one which has attracted increasing attention in recent years. There are many reasons for this. For one thing, with our rapidly growing population, there are greater numbers of children and youth.

The Parham report pointed out that there will be 20,000 more sixteen year-olds in Georgia in 1964 than there were in 1962.

Another factor is the movement of our people off the land and into the cities so that today half of all our children live in only sixteen counties.
Judge W. W. Woolfolk of the Fulton Juvenile Court testified before the Youth Study Committee that it was dealing with a major problem and not a minor problem. James B. Conant, a national authority in the field of education, has said that for us to congregate large numbers of idle children in our crowded cities is to stack social dynamite.
President Kennedy, recently, announced further plans for the federal government to move into this field. It is my belief that we here in Georgia should take the initiative and keep the initiative in dealing with the problems of our troubled youth. Surely, we are in a better position to deal with our children.
It should not be necessary for anyone to remind us to be concerned about the well-being of our children.
As a matter of fact, The United Church Women, the Georgia Fed eration of Women's Clubs, our Juvenile Court Judges and other law

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1963

1039

enforcement and court officials, Welfare officials, ministers, lawyers, members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and countless other indi viduals and organizations have, in recent years, urged that our state develop better ways of handling and dealing with these troubled youth.

This concern culminated in action by the 1962 General Assembly, when it unanimously voted to establish a Committee to Study the Prob lems of Youth. The Committee consisted of members of both the House and Senate and public members appointed by Governor Vandiver.

Through the cooperation of the Executive Branch, the legislative committee had the benefit of professional help--and the printed report written by Mr. Jim Parham provided the background for the Com mittee's recommendations. A copy of this report has been distributed to every member of the General Assembly. The Youth Study Committee has made its report and this, too, has been placed on your desks.

In my campaign for Governor, I promised to do something about children being placed in common jails, about inadequate support for our training schools, about inadequate services to our Juvenile Courts, and I promised to act vigorously to provide a better program of services for children and youth who are neglected, dependent or delinquent.

I promised to implement the recommendations of the General As sembly Youth Study Committee.
Let me read you the recommendations of the Youth Study Com mittee :
1. Creation of a State Department for Children and Youth to assure the consolidation and coordination of present State programs for dealing with the problems of dependent, neglected and delinquent children.
2. Creation of a fifteen-member administrative board to establish policy for this new agency and to provide leadership in developing pre ventive and treatment resources for troubled children, regardless of where they may live in the state.
3. A provision for having the heads of the Departments of Health, Education, Welfare, Labor, Corrections, Agriculture, and Forestry, as ex-officio members of the Board of the Department of Children and Youth to seek the most effective possible co-ordination of state resources for children.
4. Selection by the Board of this Department of a Director quali fied by both training and experience.
5. Development of a state program to assist local communities in the development of preventive programs.
6. Development of a plant to expand local services within four years so that every child in Georgia will have access to qualified help if he should need it.

1040

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

7. Formulation of a plan to develop regional detention and diagnos tic centers to eliminate for all time the disgrace of lodging impression able young children in our local jails, some of which are unfit for human habitation.

8. A provision for commitment of delinquents to the Department for Children and Youth rather than to a specific institution and a plan to diversify treatment programs in training schools, improve the quality . of staff, and provide a classification system of youngsters according to individual needs.

9. Expansions of educational and scholarship programs for the training of personnel in all "helping progressions" and the establish ment of a School of Social Work within the State University System.

10. A biennial Governor's Conference on Children and Youth bringing together citizens from every county in Georgia to review progress, discuss problems, exchange ideas, and to publicize the need of conserving our most valuable resource--our children.

Let me say that I agree with these recommendations. With your help I intend to see to it that this administration creates an agency which will be of real service to the Juvenile Courts, the communities, and--most of all--the children and youth of Georgia.

Last Fall, the Juvenile Court Judges--in their Workshop at Athens --made recommendations, and the Youth Study Committee adopted verbatim the structure proposed by the Juvenile Court Judges.

I have proposed that this structure be enacted into legislation with certain modifications proposed solely to prevent duplication of expense in administration.

Many have wanted to get this Agency for Children and Youth disassociated from the old Welfare Department, as we have known it, and I realize that much of the impetus for such action was because of the old leadership of this Department and the apparent neglect of this important area.

We are weary of the term "welfare." It stirs up notions of a give away dole that kills initiative and self respect.

We all know this is not the complete picture--that welfare help is usually given to citizens who are not unfit, but just less fortunate than the rest of us.
The Great Depression taught us an unforgettable lesson--that a man can be needy without being unfit or inferior.
I am convinced that we need a new philosophy, a new concept of assistance, and for this reason I propose that we change the name of the Welfare Department to the "Department of Family and Children's Services."

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1963

1041

This will indicate that this is to be a department devoted to pre serving and strengthening family life through not only financial sup port, but through effective rehabilitation services.

Because I want to see this new philosophy put to work, I have appointed Mrs. Bruce Schaefer as the new Director of this department. Her many activities over the State are well known, and she was among those who worked hard to see to it that Georgia establishes a new agency for children and youth.

As a result of the thinking of all of us who have studied this problem, we have reached the conclusion that, with the limited money we have, we can make the best beginning by establishing a new state agency related to the Department of Family and Children's Services.

In this way we can avoid unnecessary expenses and duplication in administrative personnel, and use the money saved thereby the children and youth who so desperately need it.

In shaping the legislation which will establish this new agency for children and youth, I have provided all of the elements which the Juvenile Court Judges and the Youth Study Committee recommended.

There will be an Administrative Board made up of fifteen of the best qualified people I can find in Georgia. Mrs. Schaefer, as Director of the Department of Family and Children's Services, will be Chairman of the Administrative Board.

The fourteen other members will be appointed by me for staggered terms, and this Board will be a strong policy-making group to oversee our training schools and the Child Welfare and Court Services Section.

The Board will employ a professionally qualified Director, and the Court Services, Child Welfare programs and institutions will be de veloped as rapidly as organizational plans and financial means will permit.

The primary relationship of this Division for Children and Youth to the Department of Family and Children's Services will be for con venience and economy in administration and to avoid confusion in the local County offices.

I believe that all of us who have gone into this problem are con vinced that we have set up an organizational approach which will give us the benefit of an essentially autonomous agency, without the duplica tion of personnel and expense which might otherwise result.
Let me make this clear, however:
I am having the legislation drawn in such a way that if experience shows that a total separation of these activities is desirable, it can be done and will be done--but I believe that experience will show that we are on the right track.

1042

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

The effective date of the legislation will be July 1, 1963. By that time I expect to have appointed an outstanding Board, and that a highly qualified Director will be ready to tackle the responsibilities which will be assigned to this new agency for children and youth.
Since making the basic policy decision as to the most desirable structure for this new agency on February 1st, four weeks of intensive legal research have gone into the committee substitute for House Bill No. 5.

This Bill--to be known as the Children and Youth Bill--is, I believe, the finest document of its kind in the fifty states.

I would like to point out that the Bill has been carefully checked by state and federal officials, and I am certain that no federal funds will be jeopardized.
Not only does it set forth in an orderly fashion the structure and function of this Department, it repeals many obsolete and contradictory code sections and chapters dealing with this general area which have accumulated during the past seventy-five years.

I am convinced that every member of this General Assembly will remember, with pride, that he had a hand in the enactment of this legislation.
This law alone cannot effect great improvement, but it is the in strument which will help our state deal more effectively with our troubled youth.

Its sole aim is to restore dependent, neglected and delinquent chil dren and youth to full, productive and useful citizenship.
There has been misunderstanding in some areas of just what the Welfare laws of this State have provided for--

Local and state care, maintenance and assistance to our neglected, homeless and dependent children and youth in public and private in stitutions :

Detention, education and training of delinquent children and youth in our state institutions:

Establishment and operation of detention homes and other groupcare facilities;

Certain court services;

Inspection and regulation of certain child-caring agencies; regu lation of placement of children for adoption, both intrastate and inter state ;

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1963

1043

And the expenditure of state and local funds for these purposes.

These laws, in some respects, are outmoded and do not meet the needs of today. Moreover, these laws are scattered throughout the Georgia Code, and are placed under the administration of several de partments and agencies of both state and local governments.

But most important of all, they have never been fully implemented. It is my purpose to consolidate these laws, shed the outmoded, and im prove the remainder, and to place the administration and the imple mentation of these laws--with adequate funds provided--under one state agency, which shall have as its singular purpose the administering of such laws in accordance with today's needs.

This, gentlemen, is what House Bill 5 does.

As soon as this Division for Children and Youth is activated, I want to see work begun on the following:

1. A plan to get our children out of jails and keep them out.

2. The provision of services for children and youth covering all geographic regions of Georgia.

3. The development of better training school programs with better diagnostic and training resources and follow-up supervision for boys and girls when they return home.

4. The provision of services to our Juvenile Courts throughout Georgia, which will be of real help to them.
5. A program that will assure that our child-caring institutions maintain standards of operation that protect the health and well-being of all children in their charge.
6. The development of ways and means to help local communities develop preventive programs.
7. The effective spending of state, federal and local welfare funds for children and youth--and finally.
8. Cooperation between the departments of state government in the use and development of resources for children:
Earlier this month I visited our boys training school at Milledgeville and spoke to them. As I looked at these boys approaching the threshold of manhood, I felt that, given the attention they deserve, they have the possibilities of becoming useful, law-abiding citizens.
They will need help and supervision when they return to their homes, and one of the practical things this new division can do, is to provide this help and supervision when they return to their home com munities.

1044

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,
Some have referred lightly to this bill as a "motherhood bill".
It is this and much more.
The intent of this measure is to fulfill the ancient doctrine of the common law, parens patriae. The state has an interest in every child and youth, not for the purpose of sheltering him from the cradle to the grave, but to protect him from neglect and want.
And, in cases where the child is adjudged delinquent, to restore him to full, productive, useful and meaningful citizenship.
Our studies show that nearly half the children of Georgia do not have access to any form of service. Someone has said that what happens to a child depends on the accident of where he happen to live.
I do not feel that any child in any county is any more or less important than any other.
When it comes to concern for our children, I feel that we should be one Georgia.
Perhaps better than anyone in this room, I understand that these goals cannot be achieved overnight. It will take much money, many trained personnel . . . and the energy and cooperation of all of us to move toward these goals.
But move we must--and move we shall.
It is my purpose that the Sanders administration act now, act wisely and act effectively ... so that 1963 will be noted as the year that our forgotten children and youth were remembered.
I call on you to support House Bill 5 and help me usher in the dawn of a new day for youth in Georgia.
Thank You!

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
An Act to amend Sections 26-1005 and 27-2302 of the Georgia Code of 1933, relating to the punishment for murder and other capital cases, so as to provide that any person who has not reached his eighteenth birthday at the time of the offense shall not be sentenced to death but shall instead be sentenced to life imprisonment; to provide for the effec tive date of these amendments; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

1050

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. Section 26-1005 of the 1933 Code, prescribing the punish ment for murder, is hereby amended by adding at the end of the first paragraph the following:

"When it is shown that a person convicted of murder had not reached his eighteenth birthday at the time of the commission of the offense, the punishment of such person shall not be death but shall be imprisonment for life."

so that when so amended Section 26-1005 shall read as follows:

"26-1005. The punishment for persons convicted of murder shall be death, but may be confinement in the penitentiary for life in the following cases: If the jury trying the case shall so recom mend, or if the conviction is founded solely on circumstantial testi mony the presiding judge may sentence to confinement in the penitentiary for life. In the former case it is not discretionary with the judge; in the latter it is. When it is shown that a person convicted of murder had not reached his eighteenth birthday at the time of the commission of the offense, the punishment of such person shall not be death but shall be imprisonment for life.

"Whenever a jury, in a capital case of homicide, shall find a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation of mercy, instead of a recommendation of imprisonment for life, in cases where by law the jury may make such recommendation, such verdict shall be held to mean imprisonment for life. If, in any capital case of homicide, the jury shall make any recommendation, where not authorized by law to make a recommendation of imprisonment for life, the verdict shall be construed as if made without any recommendation."

Section 2. Section 27-2302 of the 1933 Code, prescribing punish ment in capital cases other than homicide, is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

"When the verdict is guilty without a recommendation to mercy it shall be legal and shall mean that the convicted person shall be sentenced to death. However, when it is shown that a person con victed of a capital offense without a recommendation to mercy had not reached his eighteenth birthday at the time of the commis sion of the offense the punishment of such person shall not be death but shall be imprisonment for life."

so that when so amended Section 27-2302 shall read as follows:

"27-2302. In all capital cases, other than those of homicide, when the verdict is guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, it shall be legal and shall mean imprisonment for life. When the verdict if guilty without a recommendation to mercy it shall be legal and shall mean that the convicted person shall be sentenced to death.

TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1963

However, when it is shown that a person convicted of a capital offense without a recommendation to mercy had not reached his eighteenth birthday at the time of the commission of the offense the punishment of such person shall not be death but shall be im prisonment for life."

(a) Preliminary Disposition by Court.--When the court commits a delinquent child to the Division, it may order him conveyed forthwith to some place of detention approved or established or designated by the Division, or direct that he be left at liberty until otherwise ordered by the Division under such conditions as will insure his availability and submission to any orders of the Division.

Failure of the Division to re-examine a delinquent child committed to it, or to re-examine him within one

1100

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The Division shall cooperate with courts and public and private agencies in the collection of statistics and information regarding juvenile delinquency, arrests made, complaints, information, and petitions filed, and the disposition made thereof, and other informa tion useful in determining the amount and causes of juvenile delinquen cy in this State.

amended, is hereby amended by adding new paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) to Section 50 as follows:
"(b) Any provisions of this Act to the contrary notwithstand ing, whenever any complaint shall be made to the Governor that any speed limit established by any county or municipal authority is arbitrary or unreasonable, or upon any complaint being made to the Governor that any speed limit established by the State or by any county or municipal governing authority is being enforced primarily for the collection of revenue rather than for purposes of public safety, the Governor may, in his discretion, direct that an investigation and any necessary studies be commenced by the Director of Public Safety, or his delegate, who shall make a report thereon together with his recommendations as to whether the State should suspend the authority of the applicable local county or muni cipal governing authorities to enforce speed limits upon any state and federal highways lying within the jurisdiction of such author ities. Upon receipt of a report accompanied by recommendations that the power to enforce speed limits be restricted, the Governor shall furnish a copy of such report to the local authorities affected thereby, together with notice of hearing on the allegations of the report made by the Director of Public Safety, or his delegate. Such hearing may be held at such time and such place as may be deter mined by the Governor, but shall not be held less than ten days after notice to the local governing authorities. Said hearing shall be conducted before a Board to be composed of the Governor, the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, who shall be reim bursed for the actual and necessary expenses pertaining to their services on said Board but who shall receive no other additional compensation for their services thereon. Upon determination by said Board that the speed limits established by the county or muni cipal governing authorities against whom complaint has been brought are either unreasonable or that speed limits are being primarily enforced for the collection of revenue rather than for purposes of public safety, the Governor shall issue his executive order suspending the power of such local governing authority to enforce speed limits on state or federal highways lying within their respective jurisdiction, or on any particular such highway. In the event that said power is suspended, the Governor shall direct the Director of Public Safety to enforce the speed limits on such highways.
"(c) An intervals of not less than six months, any governing authority affected by the provisions of this Act and by an executive order issued in accordance herewith, may upon a change of circum stances being shown to the Governor, petition the Governor for re consideration, whereupon the Governor, in his discretion, may direct the Director of Public Safety, or his delegate, to inquire into such change or circumstances and report the same to him together with any recommendations for modification of the Governor's previous order, and the Governor, in his discretion, may order a new hearing on the matter before the Board or may, without hearing, modify or revoke his previous executive order.
"(d) Whenever used in this Section 50 or in Section 49, the term 'speed limits' shall be construed to refer to and include stop

A RESOLUTION
Protesting the visit of Russia Churchmen to the State of Georgia; and for other purposes.

1250

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

WHEREAS, on March 6, 1963 there will arrive in Georgia four representatives of the Soviet Union who will come here at the invitation of the National Council of Churches; and

WHEREAS, that this invitation has been extended in spite of testimoney given by Peter S. Deriabin, former Major General of the Soviet Secret Police and the highest ranking officer ever to defect to the West concerning a former visit by a delegation of Soviet "churchmen" in 1956, to wit; that the head of the "religious" delegation was Metro politan Nicolai who was the second ranking prelate of the Russian Ortho dox Church but at the same time was an agent of the State Security of Soviet Russia, that to petition for a church is almost tantamount to a treasonable act in Soviet Russia; that there have been no religious priests in Soviet Russia since the mid-thirtys but only figurehead priests who, as a qualification for their position, must first be an agent of the State Police of the Communist Party, that there are no priests in Soviet Russia who serve the church first, but only the State as agents of the State Police, and finally, that before any person can serve as an agent of the State Police, he must first give allegiance to the State and to the principles of the Soviet which include atheism; and

WHEREAS, it is the most basic of beliefs of this country that the State and church must be separate and distinct, each to govern them selves and neither to dictate the policies or purposes of the other; and

WHEREAS, the Holy Bible says, "Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing."

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the people of Georgia protest the visit of these Russian Churchmen not out of any feeling of religious intoler ance, but in the spirit of the protection of our Democratic system of government and in the basic belief that no man can serve God while praising allegiance to atheism.

SECTION 4

Any duties herein prescribed to be performed by the clerk of a small claims court may be performed by the judge thereof, although the judge may appoint a person to act as clerk, said clerk to be compensated, if at all, from the fees herein authorized.

SECTION 5

All fees collected by the judge as herein authorized, shall be re tained by him as his sole remuneration.

THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1963

1269

A docket shall be maintained in which shall be indicated every pro ceeding and ruling had in the case.

SECTION 8
The plaintiff, when he files his claim, shall deposit with the court the sum of five dollars ($5.00) which shall cover the costs of what proceeding up to and including the rendering of a judgment, except the cost of serving process or notices to defendants and summoning wit nesses when required; but the deposit of costs in cases of attachment, garnishment, trover, statutory foreclosures on personalty, and replevin by possessory warrant, shall be seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50); and in other matters (not specifically mentioned herein) the costs shall be the same as provided for justices of the peace; and, in claim cases and illegalities, instituted by a third party after levy, the costs shall be seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50), to be taxed in the discretion of the court.

The award of court costs, as be tween the parties, shall be according to discretion of the judge and shall be taxed in the case at his discretion.

SECTION 9

(a). On the day set for the hearing, or such later time as the judge may set, the trial shall be had.

If the judge fails to induce the parties to settle their differences without a trial, he shall proceed with the hearing on the merits.

(b). The judge shall conduct the trial in such manner as to do substantial justice between the parties according to the rules of sub stantive law, and all rules and regulations relating to pleading, practice and procedure shall be liberally construed so as to administer justice.

(c). In cases of attachment, garnishment, and trover, the legal grounds thereof shall be as now or hereafter provided by law, and the pleading and practice in such cases shall be substantially the same as obtained in courts of justices of the peace; and no formal declaration in attachment shall be required.

(d). If the plaintiff fails to appear, the case may be dismissed for want of prosecution, or defendant may proceed to a trial on the merits, or the case may be continued as the judge may direct. If both parties fail to appear, the judge may continue the case, or order the same dis missed for want of prosecution, or make any other just and proper dis position thereof, as justice may dictate.

SECTION 10

If any defendant has any claim against the plaintiff, the judge may require a statement of setoff to be filed, or same may be waived. If the plaintiff requires time to prepare his defense against such claim, the judge may in his discretion continue the case for such purpose. If any defendant has any claim against the plaintiff which exceeds the jurisdiction of the court, he may use a part thereof to offset the claim of the plaintiff.
SECTION 11

SECTION 13

FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1963

1423

The party name or other designation shall be prefixed to the list of candidates of such party. The order of the list of candidates of the several parties shall be arranged as is now provided by law, except that the lists may be arranged either horizontally or vertically but not horizontally and vertically, with the names of candi dates for office arranged transversely either under or opposite but not under and opposite the title of the office. The names of all candidates nominated or seeking nomination by a political party in accordance with law, shall appear either in adjacent rows or columns but not in adjacent rows and columns containing generally the names of candidates nomi nated or seeking nomination by such party. Except as herein provided, the form and arrangement of ballot-labels to be used at any election, shall be determined by the Ordinary of the county, or municipal execu tive committee or county executive committee, as the case may be, as nearly as may be in accordance with the provisions of the law pre scribing the form and arrangements of ballots at such election, and shall be furnished by him to the election managers of the respective voting or polling-places, who shall procure such further copies of the same, as may be necessary, at the cost of the county or party holding such election.

Section 8. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that the requisite number of ballot-labels for use in the voting machine or voting machines shall be provided for each polling-place for each elec tion district or precinct by the officer or officers now charged by law with furnishing such election districts or precincts with ballots, in such manner shall be furnished also all other necessary material for the use of voting machines in the case of all elections. The same officer or officers first referred to in this section shall, before the day of election, cause the proper ballot-labels to be put upon each machine corresponding with the sample ballot-labels herein provided for, and the machine or machines in every way to be put in order, set and adjusted, ready for use in voting when delivered at the polling-place. On the morning of the election, managers shall meet in said room before the time for opening the polls. They shall see that the sample ballots and instruction cards are posted properly, and everything in readiness for the voting at the hour of opening the polls. The managers shall compare ballot-labels on the machine with the sample ballots, see that they are correct, examine and see that all the counters (except protective counters) are set at naught or zero (0) and that the machine or machines are otherwise in perfect order. If upon such inspection it be found that the voting machine has not been properly prepared for the election, or is not in perfect order, the said officer or officers charged in this Act with the duty of preparation of such machine shall be notified immediately; whereupon said officers shall make necessary corrections on the machines as will enable the managers of the election to properly conduct the same.

Section 9. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that ballots voted for any person whose name does not appear on the ballotlabel on the machine as a candidate for office are hereby referred to

1424

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

as "Write-in" ballots. Such "write-in" ballots shall be deposited, written or affixed in or upon the receptacle or device for that purpose.

Section 10. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that as soon as the polls are closed, the voting machine or machines shall be locked against voting and the registering compartment opened in the presence of all the members of the election board of managers or super intendents or other persons who may be lawfully within the room, giving full view of the registering counters and one of said election managers shall announce in distinct tones the votes cast for each candidate and for and against the various constitutional amendments, questions and/or other propositions.
Section 11. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that the election managers shall then ascertain the number of votes which the candidates have received both by the machine and by the voting of irregular ballots, if any, and one of the managers of election shall publicly announce in a distinct voice the total vote for each candidate thus ascertained in the order of the officers as their titles are arranged on the ballot-label. He shall then announce in the same manner the vote on each constitutional amendment, proposition or other question. Before leaving the room and before closing and locking the registering compartment, the election managers or superintendents shall sign a written certificate showing the results of such election. The transmis sion and delivery of said certificates by the managers of such election districts and all other papers of the election for the purpose of con solidation, the certifying of returns thereof, shall all be in compliance with the laws in force pertaining to election. When "write-in" ballots have been voted, they shall be returned, preserved and finally destroyed as is now provided by law in the case of other election ballots. The written certificate so made, after having been properly certified and signed, shall be distinctly and clearly read in the hearing of all persons present, and ample opportunity shall be given to compare the results so certified with the registering counters of the machine or machines. After such comparison and correction, if any is made, the election managers shall then close the registering compartment and lock same. Thereafter, the machine or machines shall remain locked and sealed for a period of at least 15 days; provided, however, that should the use of same be required at any subsequent election to be held within said 15 day period, the machine or machines may be opened at least 10 days prior to the date of such subsequent election: Provided, further, that same may be opened at any time upon order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 12. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that if a method of election for any candidate, officers, or the voting on constitutional amendments or other questions or propositions is pre scribed by law, in which the use of voting machines is not possible or practicable, or in a case at any election, the number of candidates nomi nated or seeking nomination for any office renders the use of voting machines for such office at such election impracticable at one or more precincts or districts, or if for any reason at any election the use of voting machines wholly or in part is not possible or practicable, the officer or officers now charged by law with furnishing such election districts or precincts with paper ballots may arrange to have the voting

FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1963

1425

for any or all candidates or officers or on any or all constitutional amendments, questions, or propositions at such precincts or districts conducted by paper ballots. In such cases, ballots shall be printed for such candidates or officers, or for such constitutional amendments, questions or propositions, and the election conducted by the election officers as herein provided for, and the ballots counted and return thereof made in the manner required by law for such candidates or officers or for such constitutional amendments, questions, or proposi tions, in so far as paper ballots are used.

Section 13. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that when the machine is locked and sealed at the close of an election in the manner required by this Act, the managers of election shall properly deliver to the Ordinary or others, as the case may be, or his duly authorized representative the keys of the machine or machines enclosed in a sealed envelope.

Section 14. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that the governing authorities shall designate a person or persons who shall have the custody of the voting machines of the county, and the keys therefor, when the machines are not in use at an election, and shall provide for his or their compensation and for the safe storage and care of the machines and keys. As soon as possible after the completion by the county or municipality of the votes cast at any election, the govern ing authorities shall have the machines removed to the place of storage provided for in this section.

Section 15. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that the list of offices and candidates, and the statements of questions on the voting machines shall be deemed an "official ballot". And that as used in this Act:

1. The words "ballot-labels" shall mean the cards, paper or ma terial, containing the names of offices and candidates and statements of questions to be voted on;

2. The word "diagram" shall mean an illustration of the official ballot, when placed upon the machines, showing the names of the parties, offices, and candidates, and statements of the questions, in their proper places, together with the voting devices therefor, and shall be considered a specimen ballot;

3. The word "Question" shall mean a brief statement of such constitutional amendment or other proposition as shall be submitted to a popular vote at any election;

4. The words "write-in ballot" shall mean the paper or other material on which a vote is cast on a voting machine for persons whose names do not appear on the ballot-labels;

Section 17. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that except as modified by the provisions of this Act, the general laws regulating general, regular, special, primary, and other elections, where not inconsistent with this Act, shall apply to all such elections, held in counties adopting the use of machines under the provisions of this Act.

The provisions of this Act shall apply to all counties and municipalities in this State hereafter holding any election or elections in which voting machines are used.

Section 18. In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconsti tutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Act, which shall re main of full force and effect, as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional was

To be entitled an Act to provide that an insurer who settles a claim or suit on behalf of an insured shall do so in the capacity of an inde pendent contractor; to provide that such settlement shall not affect the rights of an insured against a third party; to provide that an insured may sue for and collect damages against a third party; to provide that one who has executed a release in settlement shall not thereafter assert any action or cross-action as to the claim so released; to provide that manner in which such a settled claim so asserted may be stricken; to provide that the plea of such release shall not bar the action of the person so pleading it; to provide for the redrafting of pleadings relative to such release; to provide that evidence as to such release shall not be admissible; to provide that a release participated in as agreed to by the person for whose benefit the release was given shall bar the claims of both parties thereto; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
SECTION 1
From and after the passage of this Act, any provision in an auto mobile liability insurance policy, or any other policy of insurance that gives to the insurer the right to settle any claim or claims, suit or suits for damages against the insured or for which the insured may be held liable, shall be construed as conferring upon the insurer the authority to settle such claim or claims as an independent contractor only and not to in anywise affect the insured's right to suit for or collect damages from one with whom he is involved in an automobile collision.

SECTION 2

Any settlement by an insurer or agent of any insurer made in be half of the insured of any claim or suit for damages against the insured shall in no wise affect the right of the insured to claim or collect damages against a third party.
SECTION 3

Any settlement made by an insurer, whatever be the language of the policy, issued to an insured shall not affect any insured's right to sue for or collect damages against a party with whom such insured has an automobile collision.
SECTION 4

Any person who has executed a release in settlement of his tort claim shall be thereafter barred from asserting such tort claim by action or cross-action in any courts of this State against any party for whose benefit such release was executed. Should such a settled claim

1430

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

be so asserted it may be defeated by a special or equitable plea, and the release may be pleaded and proved by the party for whose benefit the release was given without affecting in any manner the right of such party to maintain a cause of action against the party executing the release, and where such a special or equitable plea has been sustained, the court shall require a recasting of the pleadings to eliminate any reference to said release. Evidence as to such release shall not be ad missible on the jury trial between the parties to such an action and any reference to such release in the presence of the jury shall be ground for a mistrial. Provided, however, that where a release is given in settlement of a tort claim and the person for whose benefit the release was given has actively participated in or expressly agreed to such settlement, said release may be pleaded as a bar to any action brought by the person executing the release or the person for whose benefit the release was given.
SECTION 5
In the event any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Act shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other sections, subsec tions, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Act, which shall remain of full force and effect, as if the section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional was not originally a part hereof. The General Assembly hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Act if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 6
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

An amendment offered by Mr. Abney of Walker was read and withdrawn.

A RESOLUTION

Relating to a World's Fair in Atlanta, Georgia; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, is also the chief city of the entire southeast, and due to serving millions of people annually, has become the unquestionable preference as a place for meetings, offices, stores, entertainment and general business for seven to ten states; and

WHEREAS, to become further entrenched and to perpetuate itself as the central city of this vast and vital region, Atlanta should provide to the millions who use, and who desire to use, the buildings and other facilities appropriate for their needs and purposes; and

WHEREAS, Atlanta, however, is seriously deficient now; being without a coliseum and related exhibition hall, without a municipal stadium, without adequate facilities for cultural performances and displays, without a planetarium, natural history museum, aquarium and similar facilities, its principal public building, an auditorium, having been built in the gaslight era to serve a potential audience less than 10% as large as Atlanta must now serve regularly; and

WHEREAS, Atlanta can and should be a great city but it can never be a really great city as long as it is without first rate facilities to meet these fundamental needs; and

WHEREAS, it has been suggested that the permanent facili ties to fill many of these long term needs can be paid for by means of a World's Fair in Atlanta; it being suggested that the facilities be pro vided by an equitable arrangement between the City of Atlanta, the Counties of its metropolitan area, the State of Georgia and the United States Government; and

WHEREAS, the World's Fair would be planned and conducted by a non-profit corporation directed and operated by a sizable and represen tative cross-section of the State's and City's leading citizens; and

WHEREAS, noting the possibilities of this suggestion, the Governor of Georgia, Honorable Carl E. Sanders, and the Mayor of Atlanta, Honorable Ivan Alien, Jr., joined together on January 22, 1963, to appoint an Atlanta World's Fair Study Commission with 250 outstanding repre sentative members, ex-officio members and advisors, all serving without
compensation; and

WHEREAS, these 250 persons were directed by the Governor and Mayor to examine the desirability and general feasibility of a World's Fair in Atlanta which would attain two principal results: first, generate new moneys which would pay for desired permanent facilities and, second,

TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1963

1581

achieve for Atlanta the national and international publicity and good will that would establish it as one of the world's outstanding cities; and

WHEREAS, the Commission was directed to report back as soon as possible as to the desirability and general feasibility of such a Pair, it being indicated that if the Commission concluded that the Fair was both desirable and generally feasible it may thereupon be requested to establish a Master Plan for its accomplishment, the Master Plan contain ing specific suggestions as to the participation of the various units of government, city, counties, state and federal; and

WHEREAS, the Commission has been divided into ten Special Committees and has been at work for several weeks, and although it has made no report, its studies to date indicate that within some 60 to 90 days it will report that an Atlanta World's Fair of the suggested magni tude is both desirable and generally feasible, and if such is the Commis sion's conclusion, the question will arise whether and how to proceed to prepare for and to accomplish an appropriate World's Fair in Atlanta.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:
1. Atlanta should be a great city and should have the public buildings and related facilities befitting a great city.
2. A World's Fair in Atlanta is a worthy and desirable means of accomplishing for Atlanta the needed public facilities and of achieving for Atlanta the posture of one of the world's leading cities.
3. The Governor of Georgia and the Mayor of Atlanta are heartily commended for joining together to examine fully the potential and pros pects for a World's Fair in Atlanta and for appointing an adequate Study Commission for the purpose.
4. All 250 citizens who have accepted responsibilities as part of the World's Fair Study Commission are heartily commended for accepting this opportunity for public service. They are hereby requested and en couraged to perform this duty thoroughly and to report their findings as soon as possible.
5. If the Commission reports favorably as to the desirability and general feasibility of a World's Fair in Atlanta and at that time suggests the substantial participation of the State of Georgia in making possible such a World's Fair, then the Governor of Georgia shall know by the expression in this resolution that the General Assembly would like to encourage the making of a Master Plan for the accomplishment of a World's Fair in Atlanta; such Plan and the suggestions for the State of Georgia's participation to be presented in detail for consideration by the next session of the General Assembly of Georgia.
6. The General Assembly hereby appoints a Special Committee of its members, five to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives, and four to be appointed by the President of the Senate, to serve as a liaison committee with the World's Fair Study Commission. This Special Committee is to report the status of the Atlanta World's Fair undertaking and to make recommendations as to the State of Geor-

The State Board of Education is further requested to study means whereby teachers using corporal punishment as a disciplinary measure may be protected from civil liability as a result of its use. It is further requested that the Board make such study as is necessary to provide an effective means to provide remedies through the various local boards of education for parents who feel an abuse of the teacher's prerogative to employ corporal punishment as a disciplinary measure has occurred.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the State Board of Education is requested to report its findings and recommendations back to the 1964 Session of the General Assembly if they feel legislation upon this par ticular subject matter is necessary.

The Senate has disagreed to the report of the Committee of Conference on the following Bill of the House:

HB 132. By Messrs. Matthews of Clarke, Killian of Glynn and others:
A Bill to amend an Act relating to obscene pictures and abusive and vulgar language, so as to provide that any person who shall sell, exhibit, give away, have possession of, advertise for sale, manufacture, print or circulate obscene publications shall be guilty of a felony; and for other purposes.

Pursuant to a motion of the Senate the President appointed as a new Com mittee of Conference the following: Senators Gillis of the 20th, Phillips of the 27th and Heard of the 29th.

The Senate has adopted the report of the Committee of Conference on the following Bill of the House:

The following Bill of the House was taken up for the purpose of considering the Report of the Conference Committee thereon:

The following Conference Committee Report was read:

Conference Committee Report on HB 132.
Mr. Speaker:
The Conference Committee on HB 132 reports as follows:
SECTION A
The Conference Committee, composed of the following members: Senator Gayner of 5th Senator Webb of llth Senator Wesberry of 37th Representative Matthews of Clarke Representative House of Bibb Representative Clarke of Monroe
moves that HB 132 as originally passed by the House of Representatives do pass without the Senate amendment which struck from the title of the Bill the phrase, "be guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one, nor more than five years; to provide that upon recommendation of the jury said offense shall be punishable as for a misdemeanor;" and which substituted in lieu thereof the phrase, "be guilty of a misdemeanor; provided, however, that any person shall, upon his second conviction of a violation of this Act, be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than five years."
SECTION B
The Conference Committee further moves that HB 132 do pass with-

1600

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

out the Senate amendment which struck from Section 1 of the Bill the phrase, "be guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof, shall be pun ished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one year nor more than five years; provided, however, in the event the jury so recom mends, such person may be punished as for a misdemeanor," and which substituted in lieu thereof the following: "be guilty of a misdemeanor; provided, however, that any person shall, upon his second conviction of a violation of this Act, be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than five years."

It is the intent of the Conference Committee that this motion be that HB 132 be passed just as it was originally passed in the House of Representatives insofar as the punishment feature of said Bill is con cerned.

SECTION C

The Conference Committee further moves that HB 132 do pass with the Senate Amendment which struck from the Section 1 of said Bill as originally passed by the House the last sentence thereof which read "as used herein, the term 'obscene matter' shall mean any book, pamphlet, magazine, newspaper, film, picture, photograph, recording, lithograph, duplicate pictorial representation or other printed material, which, if considered as a whole, applying contemporary community standards, has, as its dominant theme, an appeal to prurient interest, that is, a morbid interest, in nudity, sex, or excretion." and which substituted in lieu thereof the following sentence, "as used herein, a matter is obscene if, considered as a whole, applying contemporary community standards, its predominant appeal is to prurient interest, i.e., a shameful or morbid interest in nudity, sex or excretion."

It is the intent of the Conference Committee that this motion be that HB 132 be passed with that Senate Amendment which amended the definition of what matter is obscene under the provisions of the Bill.

SECTION D

The Conference Committee further moves that HB 132 do pass with the Senate Amendment which struck in its entirety Section 2 of the Bill as it was originally passed by the House.

A majority of the Conference Committee moves the adoption of this report, the majority being Representatives Matthews, House and Clarke, and Senator Wesberry; Senators Gayner and Webb dissenting from that portion of the report contained in Sections A and B thereof, and con curring in that portion of the report contained in Sections C and D there of.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A BILL

To be entitled an Act to amend Sections 26-1005 and 27-2302 of the Georgia Code of 1933, relating to the punishment for murder and other capital cases, so as to provide that any person who has not reached his seventeenth birthday at the time of the offense shall not be sentenced to death but shall instead be sentenced to life imprisonment; to provide for the effective date of these amendments; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. Section 26-1005 of the 1933 Code, prescribing the punish ment for murder, is hereby amended by adding at the end of the first paragraph the following:

"When it is shown that a person convicted of murder had not reached his seventeenth birthday at the time of the commission of the offense, the punishment of such person shall not be death but shall be imprisonment for life."

so that when so amended Section 26-1005 shall read as follows:

"26-1005. The punishment for persons convicted of murder shall be death, but may be confinement in the penitentiary for life in the following cases: If the jury trying the case shall so recommend, or if the conviction is founded solely on circumstantial testimony the presiding judge may sentence to confinement in the penitentiary for life. In the former case it is not discretionary with the judge; in the latter it is. When it is shown that a person convicted of murder had not reached his seventeenth birthday at the time of the commission of the offense, the punishment of such person shall not be death but shall be imprisonment for life.

"Whenever a jury, in a capital case of homicide, shall find a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation of mercy, instead of a recommendation of imprisonment for life, in cases where by law the jury may make such recommendation, such verdict shall be held to mean imprisonment for life. If, in any capital case of homicide, the jury shall make any recommendation, where not authorized by law to make a recommendation of imprisonment for life, the verdict shall be construed as if made without any recommendation."

Section 2. Section 27-2302 of the 1933 Code, prescribing punishment in capital cases other than homicide, is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

"When the verdict is guilty without a recommendation to mercy it shall be legal and shall mean that the convicted person shall be sentenced to death. However, when it is shown that a person con victed of a capital offense without a recommendation to mercy had not reached his seventeenth birthday at the time of the commission

TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1963

1603

of the offense the punishment of such person shall not be death but shall be imprisonment for life."

so that when so amended Section 27-2302 shall read as follows:

"27-2302. In all capital cases, other than those of homicide, when the verdict is guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, it shall be legal and shall mean imprisonment for life. When the verdict is guilty without a recommendation to mercy it shall be legal and shall mean that the convicted person shall be sentenced to death. How ever, when it is shown that a person convicted of a capital offense without a recommendation to mercy had not reached his seventeenth birthday at the time of the commission of the offense the punish ment of such person shall not be death but shall be imprisonment for life."

Section 3. These amendments shall be effective on and after the effective date of this Act but shall not be construed to affect any person heretofore tried and convicted.

Section 4. All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

An amendment to the Conference Committee substitute, offered by Mr. Bowen of Randolph, was read and ruled out of order.

Mr. Hale of Bade moved that the House adopt the Conference Committee Report on HB 40.

moves that HB 132 as originally passed by the House of Representatives do pass without the Senate amendment which struck from the title of the Bill the phrase, "be guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one, nor more than five years; to provide that upon recom mendation of the jury said offense shall be punishable as for a mis demeanor;" and which substituted in lieu thereof the phrase, "be guilty of a misdemeanor; provided, however, that any person shall, upon his second conviction of a violation of this Act, be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than five years."
Section B
The Conference Committee further moves that HB 132 do pass without the Senate amendment which struck from Section 1 of the Bill the phrase, "be guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one year nor more than five years; provided, however, in the event the jury

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

so recommends, such person may be punished as for a misdemeanor," and which substituted in lieu thereof the following: "be guilty of a misdemeanor; provided, however, that any person shall, upon his second conviction of a violation of this Act, be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than five years."

It is the intent of the Conference Committee to recommend that HB 132 be passed just as it was originally passed in the House of Representatives insofar as the punishment feature of said Bill is con cerned.
Section C
The Conference Committee further moves that HB 132 do pass with the Senate amendment which struck from the Section 1 of said Bill as originally passed by the House the last sentence thereof which read: "As used herein, the term "obscene matter" shall mean any book, pamphlet, magazine, newspaper, film, picture, photograph, recording, lithograph, duplicate pictorial representation or other printed material, which, if considered as a whole, applying contemporary community standards, has, as its dominant theme, an appeal to prurient interest, that is, a morbid interest, in nudity, sex, or excretion." and which sub stituted in lieu thereof the following sentence: "As used herein, a mat ter is obscene if, considered as a whole, applying contemporary com munity standards, its predominant appeal is to prurient interest, I.E., a shameful or morbid interest in nudity, sex or excretion."
It is the intent of the Conference Committee to recommend that HB 132 be passed with that Senate amendment which amended the definition of what matter is obscene under the provisions of the Bill.
Section D
The Conference Committee further moves that HB 132 do pass with the Senate amendment which struck in its entirety Section 2 of the Bill as it was originally passed by the House:

This 12th day of March, 1963. For the Senate: Phillips of the 27th Heard of the 29th Gillis of the 20th

A BILL
To be entitled an Act to amend an Act comprehensively revising, superseding and consolidating the laws relating to the Game and Fish Commission, game and fish and wildlife, approved March 7, 1955 (Ga. L. 1955, p. 483), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 6, 1962 (Ga. L. 1962, p. 671), so as to remove rabbits from those animals that may be hunted at night; to clarify the procedure for night hunting; to change the penalty for violation; to provide the procedure for con demning property used in the hunting of deer at night; to provide a procedure in connection therewith, the service thereof, the disposition

TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1963

1681

thereof, and to provide for the disposition of the proceeds of any sale thereunder; to provide an additional and supplemental definition of "hunting"; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1

An Act comprehensively revising, superseding and consolidating the laws relating to the Game and Fish Commission, game and fish and wildlife, approved March 7, 1955 (Ga. L. 1955, p. 483), as amended, par ticularly by an Act approved March 6, 1962 (Ga. L. 1962, p. 671), is hereby amended by striking Section 67 in its entirety and in lieu thereof inserting the following:
"Section 67. (a) There shall be no night hunting in this State except for raccoon, opossum, fox, mink and skunk, and these may not be hunted with lights commonly known as headlights or any other light attached to the head or any part of the body or any light attached to any firearm, implement or weapon that may be held or directed at an animal which allows the use of both hands to operate the implement or weapon and at the same time direct a beam of light in the general direction of the quarry. No such game may be hunted from a motor vehicle or boat. Any violation of any provision of this Section shall be a misdemeanor.
"(b) Each vehicle, boat, animal or firearm used in the hunting of deer at night is hereby declared to be contraband and forfeited to the State and shall be confiscated and seized by any peace officer who shall forthwith deliver it to the Director or his duly authorized agent within ten (10) days of the seizure. "Hunting," as used in this Section shall include in addition to the definition in Section 2 (c) of this Act, the transportation of a hunter to or from the place of hunting or the transportation of a carcass or any part thereof of a deer which has been unlawfully killed at night.
"(c) The Director, within twenty (20) days after the seizure of any vehicle, boat, animal or firearm used in the hunting of deer at night, shall institute proceedings by petition in the Superior Court of the county where the seizure was made against the property so seized and against any and all persons having an interest in or right affected by the seizure or sale of such property.
A copy of such petition shall be served upon the owner or lessee of such property, if known, and upon the person or persons having custody or possession of such property at the time of the con fiscation or seizure. If the owner or lessee or person or persons having custody or possession of such property at the time of seizure is unknown, notice of such proceedings shall be published once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks in the newspaper in which Sheriff's advertisements of the county are published. Such publica tion shall be deemed notice to any and all persons having an interest in or right affected by such proceeding and any sale of the property resulting therefrom. If no defense or intervention shall be filed within thirty (30) days from the filing of the petition, judgment

1682

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

by default shall be entered by the court; otherwise the case shall proceed as other civil cases. Should it appear upon the trial of the case or upon default that such property was so used and that such use was with the consent, express or implied, of the owner, the prop erty shall be sold by order of the court after such advertisement as the court may direct. The proceeds arising from such sale shall be applied:
"(1) To the payment of proper costs and expenses including expenses incurred in the seizure;
"(2) To the payment of the cost of the court and its officers;
"(3) To the payment of any cost incurred in the storage, advertisement, maintenance or care of such property; and
"(4) The remainder shall be paid into the State Treasury for deposit in the Game Protection Fund.
"(d) Where the owner or lessee of any property seized for purposes of condemnation shall abscond or conceal himself so that actual notice of the condemnation proceeding cannot be served upon him, he shall be served by publication as is hereinbefore provided in the case of an unknown owner or lessee.
"(e) All proceedings against any vehicle, boat, animal or firearm, for the purpose of condemnation shall be proceedings in rem against the property seized, and the property shall be de scribed only in general terms, and it shall be no ground for defense that the person who had said property in possession at the time of its illegal use and seizure had not been convicted or acquitted of such violation. It is the intent and purpose of the procedure pro vided by this Act to provide a civil remedy for the seizure and sale of any property so used notwithstanding the conviction or acquittal of any person having possession or custody of the property at the time of its seizure. The conviction or acquittal of any such person shall not be admissible as evidence in any proceeding hereunder.
"(f) Any party at interest may appear, by answer under oath, and make defense; the owner, or lessee, or lienholder shall be per mitted to defend by showing that the property seized, if used illegally by another, was illegally used without the knowledge, con nivance or consent, express or implied, of such owner, lessee or lienholder. The holder of any bona fide lien on the property so seized shall be protected to the full extent of the lien.
"(g) The court to whom such petition for condemnation may be referred may in its discretion allow any party at interest to give bond and take possession of the vehicle seized, the court to deter mine whether the bond shall be a forthcoming bond or an eventual condemnation money bond, the amount of the bond to be determined also by the Court. The enforcement of any bond so given shall be regulated by the general law applicable to such cases.
"(h) The court shall have full discretion and authority to per mit a settlement between the parties at any stage of the proceeding by permitting the value of the vehicle to be paid into court or the

TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1963

1683

value of the equity therein, as determined by the court, which money when so paid in, shall be distributed as provided by law in all cases of condemnation."

The Speaker presented His Excellency to the members of the House, and Governor Carl E. Sanders in his usual forceful manner delivered the following stirring address:
MR. SPEAKER, MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE, FRIENDS AND FELLOW GEORGIANS:
It has been said that the world is blessed most by men who do things, not by those who merely talk about them.
By that yardstick, this Session of the General Assembly of Georgia has been an unparalleled blessing for our State.
You have been a doing, not a talking, Legislature.
And, the impressive record of achievement you thus have written has earned you the plaudits and gratitude of all Georgians.
In my years of governmental experience, I have never known a more dedicated, a more diligent, or a more productive General Assembly.
No Governor ever has received greater cooperation in the imple mentation of his programs . . . No Governor has been accorded more open-minded consideration of his legislative proposals.

FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1963

1967

Georgians for many years to come will be enjoying the fruits of your labors and reaping the harvests of the seed you have sown.

It is my sincere belief that the scholars of the future will rank this Session as one of the finest, if not the finest, of our history.

And to any who might be inclined to regard that conclusion as so much oratory, I say, in the words of that great Democrat, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, "Let's look at the record":

You have given the State of Georgia a balanced budget -- one that is progressive but not profligate -- one that will meet the needs of the immediate future, without extravagance or false economy.

You have provided funds to increase the salaries of school teachers and college professors, to provide new teachers and classrooms for rapid ly-growing areas, to expand our University System, and to increase the number of community junior colleges.

You have assured the development of educational programs geared to the future at all levels by creating a Commission to study and make recommendations for meeting our State's school and college needs.

You have made possible a long-needed statewide program for cornbatting and correcting juvenile delinquency with the establishment of a State Department of Youth.

You have cleared the way for the planning and implementation of a long-range, balanced highway program by putting the Highway De partment under the supervision of a constitutional Highway Board and a full-time director.
You have taken the first step toward giving Georgia a new, stream lined, forward-looking state constitution by creating a Constitutional Revision Commission to draft such a document.
You have set the stage for the reorganization of our State Govern ment by establishing the Governor's Commission for Efficiency and Im provement of Governmental Operations, and by approving companion legislation for carrying out its recommendations subject to the approval of the General Assembly.
You have given new impetus to efforts to accelerate Georgia's rate of industrial growth by exempting machinery for new or expanded in dustrial plants from payment of the sales or use tax.
You have provided for the realization of the tourist and recreational potential of our State's scenic mountains and lakes with the creation of the Georgia Mountains Authority to promote their development.
You have established machinery for putting an end to speed trap operations in cases where local authorities are unable or unwilling to act.

1968

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

You have strengthened local, self-government by giving local gov ernments greater incentives for consolidating overlapping services, and by submitting a proposed constitutional amendment to make voluntary county mergers effective upon majority vote of the counties concerned.

There are many more actions you have taken for the present and future benefit of Georgia people which I could cite, but I think I can sum them all up with this one observation:
By the responsive and responsible manner in which you have acted to identify and solve Georgia problems on the Georgia level, you have demonstrated to the nation the vitality of the processes of our form of representative democracy.
You have afforded the country an outstanding example of the exercises of states' rights and states' responsibilities in the perspective envisioned by our founding fathers.
In so doing, not only have you given new meaning and vitality to both terms, but you also have given an irrefutable answer to those who advocate further centralization of national power on the grounds that the states are impotent to help themselves.
I wish to express to each of you my heartfelt appreciation for the understanding, the support and the cooperation you have accorded me in these first days and weeks of my Administration, as well as my heartiest congratulations upon a job well done.
Truly, you have proved yourselves to be, in the words of Alexander Pope:
"Statesmen, yet friend to truth; of soul sincere,
In action faithful, and in honor clear;
Who broke no promise, served no private end,
Who gained no title, and who lost no friend."

And now, I wish for each of you, a year of health and happiness. I offer to all of you, my sincerest good wishes . . . My gratitude for a job well done . . . My prayers for your future success in service to all Georgians . . . And for the continued growth, prosperity and peace of our beloved State.

Laws 1955, p. 483), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 6, 1962 (Ga, Laws 1962, p. 671), so as to provide the procedure for condemning property used in the hunting of deer at night; to provide a procedure in connection therewith, the service thereof, the disposition thereof, the intervention therein; and to provide for the disposition of the proceeds of any sale thereunder; to provide an additional and sup plemental definition of "hunting"; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

Section 1. An Act comprehensively revising, superseding and con solidating the laws relating to the Game and Fish Commission, game and fish and wildlife, approved March 7, 1955 (Ga. Laws 1955, p. 483), as amended, particularly by an Act approved March 6, 1962 (Ga. Laws 1962, p. 671), is hereby amended by striking Subsections (b) and (c) from Section 67 and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
"(b) Each vehicle, boat, animal or firearm used in the hunt ing of deer at night is hereby declared to be contraband and for feited to the State and shall be confiscated and seized by any peace officer who shall forthwith deliver it to the Director or his duly authorized agent within ten (10) days of the seizure. The term 'hunting' as used in this Section in reference to a vehicle or boat shall include the transportation of a hunter to or from the place of hunting or the transportation of the carcass, or any part there of, of a deer which has been unlawfully killed at night.
"(c) The Director, within twenty (20) days after the seizure of any vehicle, boat, animal or firearm used in the hunting of deer at night, shall institute proceedings by petition in the Superior Court of any county where the seizure was made against the prop erty so seized and against any and all persons having an interest in or right affected by the seizure or sale of such property. A copy of such petition shall be served upon the owner or lessee of such property, if known, and upon the person or persons having custody or possession of such property at the time of the confiscation or seizure. If the owner or lessee or person or persons having custody or possession of such property at the time of seizure is unknown, notice of such proceedings shall be published once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks in the newspaper in which Sheriff's ad vertisements of the county are published. Such publication shall be deemed notice to any and all persons having an interest in or right affected by such proceeding and any sale of the property resulting therefrom. If no defense or intervention shall be filed within thirty (30) days from the filing of the petition, judgment by default shall be entered by the court; otherwise the case shall proceed as other civil cases. Should it appear upon the trial of the case or upon default that such property was so used and that such use was with the consent, express or implied, of the owner, the property shall be sold by order of the court after such advertisement as the court may direct. The proceeds arising from such sale shall be applied;

2002

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"(1) To the payment of proper costs and expenses including expenses incurred in the seizure;
"(2) To the payment of the cost of the court and its officers;
"(3) To the payment of any cost incurred in the storage, advertisement, maintenance or care of such property; and
"(4) The remainder shall be paid into the State Treasury for deposit in the Game Protection Fund."
"(d) Where the owner or lessee of any property seized for purposes of condemnation shall abscond or conceal himself so that actual notice of the condemnation proceeding cannot be served upon him, he shall be served by publication as is hereinbefore provided in the case of an unknown owner or lessee.
"(e) All proceedings against any vehicle, boat animal or fire arm, for the purpose of condemnation, shall be proceedings in rem against the property and the property shall be described only in general terms. It shall be no ground for defense that the person who had the property in possession at the time of its use and seizure has not been convicted or acquitted of any criminal proceeding resulting from or arising out of such use. If it is the intent and pur pose of the procedure provided by this Act to provide a civil remedy for the condemnation and sale of property used in violation of the provisions of this Act in the hunting of deer at night notwithstand ing the conviction or acquittal of the person having possession or custody of the property at the time of its seizure. The conviction or acquittal of any suhc person shall not be admissible as evidence in any proceeding hereunder.
"(f) Any party at interest may appear, by answer under oath, and make his defense. The owner, lessee, or lienholder shall be permitted to defend by showing that the property seized, if illegally used by another, was used without the knowledge, connivance or consent, expressed or implied, by such owner, lessee or lienholder. The holder of any bona fide lien on the property shall be protected to the full extent of his lien, provided however, that nothing con tained herein shall be construed to obligate the Director beyond the proceeds of any such sale less the actual costs incurred by him.
"(g) The court to whom any such petition for condemnation may be referred may in its discretion allow any party at interest to give bond and take possession of the vehicle seized, the court to determine whether the bond shall be a forthcoming bond or an eventual condemnation money bond, the amount of the bond to be determined also by the court. The enforcement of any bond so given shall be regulated by the general law applicable to such cases.

"(h) The court shall have full discretion and authority to permit a settlement between the parties at any stage of the pro ceeding by permitting the value of the vehicle to be paid into court or the value of the equity therein, as determined by the court, which money when so paid in, shall be distributed as provided by law in all cases of condemnation."

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

REPORT OP THE COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE GEORGIA STATE BOARD OF BARBER AND BEAUTICIAN EXAMINERS

The Committee was created pursuant to HR 678, for the purpose of studying the Georgia State Board of Barber and Beautician Examiners and the feasibility of having separate Barber and Beautician Boards. Honorable Geo. L. Smith II, Speaker of the House of Representatives, appointed Sidney Lowrey, Represent ative, Floyd County, B. Frank Arnsdorff, Representative, Effingham County, Homer L. Chance, Representative, Twiggs County, George J. Williams, Repre sentative, Coffee County and W. S. Stuckey, Representative, Dodge County. The Committee met and elected as their Chairman, W. S. Stuckey.

The Committee, in their various meetings before going into executive ses sions, permitted members of the Master Barber and Beautician Association, the Barbers Union, A.F.L-C.I.O., the Georgia Association of Hairdressers and Cos metologists, the Georgia Association of Cosmetologist Schools, the Georgia State Board of Barber and Beautician Examiners, Mr. Cecil L. Clifton, Joint Secretary, State Examining Boards, Mr. James L. Eaton, Mr. Clifton's Assistant and the various attorneys representing these groups, to testify before them giving them information concerning the operations of the Georgia State Board of Barber and Beautician Examiners. The Committee found the following conditions to exist:
(a) The present Georgia State Board of Barber and Beautician Examiners composed of three beauticians and three barbers, has been created for the purpose of setting rules and regulations, holding all examinations, and inspecting barber shops, schools and colleges, beauty shops, schools and colleges.
(b) There are twenty-six Boards operating under the Secretary of State and the Joint Secretary, State Examining Boards and remitting approximately $600,000.00 to the State Treasurer from fees collected in their operations. The Secretary of State is allocated $360,000.00 for the cost of operating the twentysix State Examining Boards with the proviso that $200,000.00 of the funds thus appropriated shall be apportioned to the use of each Board in exact ratio to the revenue collections of each Board, and the remaining $160,000.00 to be used to meet emergencies in the expenses of the Boards in the discretion of the State Budget Authorities. The Georgia State Board of Barber and Beautician Exam iners remits approximately $114,000.00 to the State Treasurer and receives back by the Appropriations Act only $62,000.00 for carrying out the purposes and functions of the Board.
(c) The Attorney General has ruled that fees collected by the various State Examining Boards are regulatory fees and not taxes.
(d) There are approximately five thousand barber and beauty shops known to the Board to be operating presently in the State of Georgia, none of which are registered, but there may be thousands of shops operating in the State unknown to the Board and the Joint Secretary, State Examining Boards. There is no provision at this time for the registration of barber and beauty shops, barber and beauty schools or manicurists.
(e) The six members of the Board cannot adequately carry out their inspection duties, even if money were available, because of their other duties, consisting of giving examinations to approximately two thousand-five hundred applicants each year and necessity of attending the various meetings required for formulating rules and hearing complaints. The Board was authorized by

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2059

law to hire five inspectors to inspect five thousand barber and beauty shops but did not have available funds to employ them.
(f) That there is no provision at the present time for the registration of barber schools and colleges, or beauty schools and colleges and there is no uniform course or curriculum for the training of students in these schools and colleges.
(g) There is at the present time no law requiring the registration of manicurists.
(h) The various groups appearing before the Committee representing the majority of the barbers and beauticians stated that barbers and beauticians are willing to pay increased regulatory fees if they are assured the fees collected will be used for supervising and regulating their occupation.
(i) There is no penalty provision for the late payment for the renewal of Master Barbers and Beauticians license.
(j) That most of the surrounding States charge a fee of five dollars or more for renewal of barbers and beauticians licenses, whereas the fee in Georgia is only three dollars.
(k) That owners of barber and beauty shops are employing personnel who are not licensed.
(1) That most States will not have reciprocal relations with Georgia Barbers and Beauticians because of conditions existing under the present Georgia State Board of Barbers and Beautician Examiners.

The Commission, after hearing testimony from the above mentioned groups and individuals and carefully considering said testimony, recommends the follow ing:
(a) That the Georgia State Board of Barber and Beautician Examiners be abolished and that two Boards be created, one regulating and supervising the barbers and one regulating and supervising the beauticians, and that these Boards consist of three members each, to be appointed by the Governor.
(b) That the regulatory fees remitted to the State Treasurer by the two separate Boards should be returned to the Boards for the purpose of carrying out the new provisions and the old provisions of the law. It being the opinion of the Committee that these fees were collected for that purpose and not as a revenue raising measure. Should it be impossible under the present Appropria tion Act to appropriate to the Boards all of the fees collected, the Committee recommends that all new sources of revenue provided for in the attached Bills, should be returned to the separate Boards, as this is one of the purposes of the Bills.
(c) That barber and beauty shops should register with their respective Boards and with the Joint Secretary, State Examining Boards, and pay a regis tration fee and an annual renewal fee to assist the inspectors in locating and inspecting these shops, thereby protecting the citizens of this State.
(d) That the shops throughout the State have not been properly inspected and the health of the public is endangered thereby. Therefor, the Committee feels that there is an urgent need for the employment of inspectors and since there are twice as many beauticians as barbers, we recommend the employment of seven inspectors for beauty shops and colleges and four inspectors for barber shops

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

and colleges. The Committee also recommends that Board members not inspect beauty shops and colleges or barber shops and colleges, but should meet for the purpose of formulating rules and regulations, giving examinations, and hearing complaints. As an economy measure, since it is not necessary that they make inspections, the Committee feels that they can administer their obligations as Board members by meeting not in excess of 65 days a year (beauticians) and 36 days a year (barbers). The Committee further recommends that the Board members be paid $20 a day plus actual expenses, including mileage, only for the days they actually meet or hold examinations.
(e) That all barber shops, schools and colleges, beauty shops, schools and colleges, should register with the Board and with the Joint Secretary, State Examining Boards for the purpose of locating these shops, schools and colleges, regulating and inspecting same, thereby protecting our citizens. It is the further opinion of the Committee that a uniform course of study be prescribed by the Board for schools and colleges to better qualify the graduates for taking the examinations and pursuing their occupations.
(f) It is as necessary for manicurists to be registered and licensed by the State as it is for barbers and beauticians. A majority of the other States require that the above be done, if for no other reason than that they handle the human body, just as much so as a barber or beautician.
(g) Attached is a list of the fees with the itemized statement of the revenue in each category under the provisions of the Bills attached. In most instances the fees were increased to bring in increased revenue to provide for inspections. These increases met with the approval of the groups appearing before the Committee.
(h) That barbers and beauticians be charged a penalty for failure to renew their license within a reasonable length of time of the expiration of the renewal date.
(i) The annual registration fees of Master Barbers and Beauticians be increased from $3.00 to $5.00 to conform with annual registration fees charged by most of the other States.
(j) Operators of barber or beauty shops hiring unlicensed persons should be guilty of a misdemeanor.
(k) The Committee recommends that other provisions in the Bills attached be enacted into law to improve the conditions existing under the present Georgia State Board of Barber and Beautician Examiners and for the further purpose of raising additional revenue fo accomplishing same.

The Honorable Wiley B. Fordham, Representative, Bulloch County, appointed by the Speaker under House Resolution No. 692 to work in conjunction with this Committee, attended all meetings and concurs in the findings and recom mendations of this Committee.

REPORT OF JOINT COMMITTEE TO ADVISE WITH THE GOVERNOR
RELATIVE TO CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION

INTRODUCTION
Governor Carl E. Sanders, in his State of the State speech to the General Assembly during the first week of the Session, stated his desire to investigate the possibility of revising the Georgia Constitution and requested the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House to appoint a committee to study the subject and make recommendations to the Governor as to the feasibility of creating a Constitutional Revision Commission for this purpose.

Pursuant to the Governor's request, the Senate passed Senate Resolution 28 creating such a committee, and the House, by House Resolution 66, also created such a committee. Both Resolutions authorized the two committees to act as a joint committee. The President appointed as members from the Senate, Senators John M. Gayner, III, 5th District; J. Taylor Phillips, 27th District; and Julian Webb, llth District. The Speaker appointed as members from the House, Repre sentatives George D. Busbee, Dougherty County; Jack Etheridge, Fulton County; and Bart E. Shea, Chatham County. At its organizational meeting, the Committee elected Senator Taylor Phillips and Representative George Busbee as Co-Chairmen. Pursuant to the Resolutions, the Committee has met with the Legislative Counsel and has studied and discussed the various problems involved. Its findings, conclusions, and recommendations are presented hereinafter.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Constitution of 1945 was presented to the people for ratification mainly on the basis that the previous Constitution of 1877 had been amended so many times it had become a patchwork Constitution. It was intended that the new Constitution be written in such a manner that it would not be necessary to amend it except on rare occasions. Unfortunately, however, the problems which existed, instead of being solved, have actually been compounded. This is shown by the fact that in its 68 year history, the 1877 Constitution was amended 301 times, whereas in the comparatively short span of its life, the 1945 Constitution has been amend ed 381 times. While it is true that the great majority of the 381 amendments have been local in nature, the number of general amendments, 54, is amazing and cer tainly not in keeping with sound theories of constitutional government.

The concept of constitutional government contemplates that the Constitution itself shall contain the basic and fundamental principles of government, leaving the details to be provided for by statutory law. It is only necessary to note the vast number of amendments to the Georgia Constitution to determine that its provisions are too detailed. This is true in spite of the fact that the General As sembly of Georgia is authorized to enact any law which is not specifically pro hibited by our Constitution. This is contrary to the authority of the United States Congress which may enact only such statutes as are authorized by the United States Constitution, yet our Federal Constitution has only been amended a total of 22 times in its history. It is agreed that judicial interpretation accounts for some of the disparity in laws, but this certainly does not explain the vast number of amendments to the Georgia Constitution. It is also admitted that a State

2064

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Constitution of necessity must be in more detail then the Federal Constitution, but here again there is certainly no need for such a large number of amendments.

This Committee feels that no purpose would be served by creating a Constitu tional Revision Commission if its purpose would be merely to edit the present Constitution. The Committee feels most strongly, however, that a Constitutional Revision Commission should be created for the purpose of revising the Constitu tion based on the concept that its primary function should be to contain the basic and fundamental law of our State Government. It is felt that such a Commission can make a substantial and permanent contribution to a better State, and we, therefore, recommend to the Governor and to the General Assembly that legisla tion be enacted at the 1963 Session creating a Constitutional Revision Com mission. It is further recommended that the Commission proceed at the earliest possible moment to diligently pursue its work and make progress reports from time to time to the Governor and to the General Assembly. The Commission should be clothed with the authority to determine when its work is completed, but should make its final report with such proposed amendments or completely revised Constitution as it deems necessary and advisable, on or before December 1, 1965, in order that legislation may be enacted at the 1966 session of the General Assembly and proposals presented to the people at the General Election in November of 1966.
Respectfully submitted:

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS INTERIM COMMITTEE
DEFENSE AND VETERANS AFFAIRS
The Interim Committee for Defense and Veterans Affairs was authorized by Senate Resolution 116 in the 1962 session of the general assembly, for the purpose of investigating Civil Defense and fall out shelters as compared with that of other nearby states. Members of the committee were composed of the following members of the Georgia State Senate:
Senator Elden W. Matthews, 48th District Senator Talmadge Harden, 27th District Senator J. L. White, 39th District Senator Oscar Raynor, 4th District Senator J. T. Dailey, llth District Senator G. V. Green, 44th District, Advisor.
The committee was duly organized with Senator E. W. Mathews, Chairman, Senator T. F. Harden, Vice Chairman, Senator Oscar Raynor, Secretary.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2065

Various statements had been made regarding the standing of Georgia in the field of Civil Defense and the committee decided to visit the various South eastern states for a comparison with the Civil Defense set up of our own state.

During our travels we have investigated Civil Defense in Georgia, including Athens, Atlanta and several other cities.

We have checked Civil Defense in Knoxville and Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Asheville and Raleigh, North Carolina, Greenville, Columbia and Charleston, South Carolina and have spent a considerable length of time checking the Georgia Civil Defense set up with that of surrounding states.

We find that in Raleigh, North Carolina, there have been supplies in some fall out shelters for several months.

We find that Greenville, South Carolina, on the border of Georgia, has a more complete set up than does any city in the state of Georgia.

It is our finding that Georgia lags in most every phase of Civil Defense. For instance, in Athens, Georgia, we found that the Civil Defense Director in the City of Athens and Clarke County was unable to get government lease agree ments signed so that the buildings of the University of Georgia might be approved for fall out shelter purposes. After our visit to that city, the Civil Defense Director wrote, and we quote, "Thanks to you, President Aderholt has signed lease agreements which will provide for shelters for over 1250 people."

After our visits to various cities and the resulting publicity, for the first time, some of the Area Directors in Georgia, made regular calls to cities in their areas.

We found, also, a great deal of apathy on the part of the people -- a re luctance to sign lease agreements for fall out shelters because of personal liability.

The committee further found that in many cases the office of Civil Defense Director was given to people by County Commissioners and City officials as a political pay off, or to help some one out financially.

We found the City of Atlanta to have an elaborate Civil Defense set up with a tremendous budget and with not a single fall out shelter marked, even though it had more available buildings suitable for fall out shelters than any two cities in Georgia. We further found that there were no fall out shelter provisions in the State Capitol or State Office- buildings until after we had made the matter public. We found that there was no organized radio teletype net work to give the people warning in case regular lines of communication through telephone, radio and T.V. were cut off through power failures. We found that the Public Health Service of Georgia was not participating in Home and Emergency medical treatment classes as set up by the Federal government.

In Charleston, South Carolina, 12 of these classes were being conducted while we were there. We found no portable radio network set up in a Georgia county such as we found in Greenville County, South Carolina.

2066

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

We found no law on our statutes providing for a line of succession of public officials such as exists in North and South Carolina.

We found no laws giving property owners protection from liability when they turned their buildings over on leases for fall out shelters.

We found no Civilian Defense set up in our state universities and colleges or in state hospitals and institutions.

We found no state wide set up for training of public and parochial school children on what to do if an emergency in civil defense arose.

We found that the State had no public information set up to keep the people aware of the dangers of atomic fall out.

In South Carolina, the Governor has made numerous appearances in behalf of Civil Defense on both T.V. and radio.

The Interim Committee on Defense and Veterans Affairs in Georgia, will make these recommendations:
1. That legislation be enacted by the incoming legislature to make Civil Defense a separate department from that of the Adjutant General. Below is the content of the South Carolina Civil Defense Act as amended 1958, effective February i, 1959.

He shall coordinate the activities of all organizations for civil defense within the State, shall maintain liaison with the cooperate with civil defense agencies and organizations of other states and of the Federal Government and shall have such additional authority, duties and responsibilities as authorized by this chapter. 1958 (50) 1897.

44-315. Report of Director.
The Director shall make a detailed report of the activities of the Agency and report its expenditures annually to the General Assembly as is prescribed for other agencies of the State Government. 1958 (50) 1897.

44-317. Invalidity.
If any provisions of this chapter or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the chapter which can be given effect without the invalid pro vision or application, and to this end the provisions of this chapter are declared to be severable. 1958 (50) 1897.
North and South Carolina have already done so.
2. The Civil Defense Director shall be appointed by the Governor to serve at his pleasure, but the Assistant Director and all other personnel shall come under the merit system as in the two Carolinas.
3. The legislature shall set up a budget for this department along the lines of North and South Carolina, who allot approximately a hundred thousand dollars annually, which is matched by the Federal Government. This does not include cost of radio equipment.
4. A radio teletype network be set up to operate on a 24 hour basis in each county of the State just as it now does in South Carolina, where there is such a set in every county police or sheriff's Department with many cities paying $75.00 monthly for a hook up on this radio teletype network, with headquarters in Columbia, South Carolina. In addition, there are two or more radio bands in operation and auxilliary generators are connected up to give power if needed. Recently in South Carolina an alert took just 11 minutes to be received and verified in every outlet in the state on radio teletype. In addition, many counties have portable networks all over the county such as Greenville, South Carolina, which has 19 such units.
5. Passage of a law such as both North and South Carolina have which will free property owners from liability when the public uses their buildings as bomb shelters either in an alert or during an actual bombing. Many property owners will not sign government leases in Georgia because of lack of this law.

A BILL

To provide that persons who allow their property to be used as public shelters for Civil Defense purposes shall not be civilly liable for the injury or death of any person who may be injured or killed on such premises, or for the loss of or damage to the property of any person on such premises.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolnia:
Section 1. No person owning or controlling property who
2 voluntarily and without compensation permits such property to be
3 used as a public shelter for civil defense purposes shall be
4 civilly liable for the injury or death of any person who may be
5 injured or killed on such premises, or for the loss of or damage
6 to the property of any person on such premises, during any time such premises are actually being used as a public shelter.
Section 2. All acts or parts of acts inconsistent herewith are repealed.
Section 3. This act shall take effect upon approval by the Governor.
----------XX----------
Passed and approved by the Governor
6. Passage of a line of succession for public office holders by the legislature similar to those in effect in North and South Carolina. Here each elected officer names seven people to succeed him in case of a terrific death toll so that the carrying on of Government will not cease to function because of a terrific death toll. This law applies in case the Governor and Lt. Governor are killed and includes legislators, judges, etc. A copy of this South Carolina Bill is attached.
7. Our State Health Department to participate fully in the program sponsored by the Federal Government which is the teaching of a 12 hour course in Home Medical Care. In Charleston, South Carolina, 12 classes of 12 hours each were being conducted when we visited there. This training is good in any catastrophe and is a part of Civil Defense.
8. Each and every college in the State of Georgia should follow the ex ample of Furman in Greenville and other colleges in South Carolina and have a complete Civil Defense set up with each and every student and teacher knowing exactly what to do and when in case of emergency.
9. The same program should be followed in our public school systems through out the State of Georgia. Such a program is now in effect in the Carolinas.
10. Secure a public information officer to advise the people through the press and radio as well as television what they can do to protect themselves par ticularly in areas where there are no 100% shelters.
11. Get the Governor to appear on radio and television to impress upon the people the need for paying strict attention to the Civil Defense effort. Governor Rollings of South Carolina does exactly that.

2070

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

12. Every new building constructed by Federal, State and local should have shelter built into the facility if at all possible, particularly schools, audi toriums and gyms. Federal tests have shown that costs for this work is far les than original estimates indicated.
13. Establish a program of State financial aid for the construction of fall out shelters at schools, colleges and universities to protect our school chil dren and our young men and women in whom lie our hopes for the future.
14. Authorize a ten fold increase in funds for the construction of shelter pro tection for students, State workers and other occupants of State buildings and institutions including units of the State University.
15. Provide for an information and counseling service to furnish technical advice and other information regarding shelter protection to encourage the development of shelter protection for all the people of the State.
16. Establish and implied warranty by builders and sellers that shelters meet the standards for fall out protection established by the Civil Defense Com mission.
17. Establish civil and criminal penalties for sellers and builders of shelters if the shelters are below the standards of fall out protection set by the Civil Defense Commission and the buyer is not so informed.
18. Remove unnecessary obstacles to shelter construction contained in pro visions of local building regulations or restrictive convenants.
19. Authorize funds to supplement those presently available to develop specific plans for rehabilitation and recovery of all phases of the economic and social life of the State after attack.

We offer these recommendations to the legislative bodies of the 1963 legis lature.

A BILL

Calendar No. H. 2415

To Provide for the Continuity of the General Assembly in the Event of an Attack by an Enemy of the United States.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Section 1. This act shall be known as the "Emergency Interim Legistative Succession Act."

Section 2. The General Assembly declares: (1) that recent technological developments make possible an enemy attack of unprecedented destructiveness, which may result in the death or inability to act of a large proportion of the membership of the General Assembly; (2) that to conform in time of attack to existing legal requirements pertaining to the General Assembly would be im practicable, would admit of undue delay, and would jeopardize continuity of operation of a legally constituted General Assembly; and (3) that it is there fore necessary to adopt special provisions as hereinafter set out for the effec tive operation of the General Assembly.

Section 3. As used in this act:
(a) "Attack" means any action or series of actions taken by an enemy of the United States resulting in substantial damage or injury to persons or property in this State whether through sabotage, bombs, missiles, shellfire, or atomic, radiological, chemical, bacteriological, or biological means or other weapons or methods.
(b) "Unavailable" means absent from the place of session (other than on official business of the General Assembly), or unable, for physical, mental or legal reasons, to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of a member of the General Assembly, whether or not such absence or inability would give rise to a vacancy under existing constitutional or statutory provisions.

Section 4. Each member of the General Assembly (hereinafter referred to as legislator) shall designate not fewer than three nor more than seven emer gency interim successors to his powers and duties and specify their order of succession. Each legislator shall review and, as necessary, promptly revise the designations of emergency interim successors to his powers and duties to insure that at all times there are at least three such qualified emergency interim successors.

Section 5. An emergency interim successor is one who is designated for possible temporary succession to the powers and duties, but not the office, of a legislator. No person shall be designated or serve as an emergency interim suc cessor unless he may under the Constitution and statutes hold the office of the legislator to whose powers and duties he is designated to succeed, but no consti tutional or statutory provision prohibiting a legislator from holding another office or prohibiting the holder of another office from being a legislator shall be applicable to an emergency interim successor. An emergency interim successor shall serve at the pleasure of the legislator designating him or of any subsequent
incumbent of the legislative office.

2072

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Section 6. Prior to an attack, if a legislator fails to designate the required minimum number of emergency interim successors within thirty days following the effective date of this act, or after such period, if for any reason the number of emergency interim successors for any legislator falls below the required min imum and remains below such minimum for a period of thirty days, then the presiding officer of the same house as such legislator shall promptly designate as many emergency interim successors as are required to achieve such minimum number, but the presiding officer shall not assign to any of his designees a rank in order of succession higher than that of any remaining emergency interim successor previously designated by a legislator for succession to his own powers and duties. Each emergency interim successor designated by the presiding officer shall serve at the pleasure of the person designating him, but the legislator for whom the emergency interim successor is designated or any subsequent incum bent of his office may change the rank in order of succession or relace at his pleasure any emergency interim successor so designated.

Section 7. Each designation of an emergency interim successor shall become effective when the legislator or presiding officer making the designation files with the Secretary of State the successor's name, address and rank in order of succession. The removal of an emergency interim successor or change in order of succession shall become effective when the legislator or presiding officer so acting files this information with the Secretary of State. All such data shall be open to public inspection. The Secretary of State shall inform the Governor, the State Office of Civil Defense, the Clerk of the House concerned and all emergency interim successors, of all such designations, removals and changes in order of succession. The Clerk of each House shall enter all information re garding emergency interim successors for the House in its public journal at the beginning of each legislative session and shall enter all changes in membership or order of succession as soon as possible after their occurrence.

Section 8. Promptly after designation each emergency interim successor shall take the oath required for the legislator to whose powers and duties he is designated to succeed. No other oath shall be required.

Section 9. Each emergency interim successor shall keep himself generaly in formed as to the duties, procedures, practices and current business of the General Assembly, and each legislator shall assist his emergency interim successors to keep themselves so informed.

Section 10. Whenever in the event of an attack, or upon finding that an attack may be imminent, the Governor deems the place of session then pre scribed to be unsafe, he may change it to any place within or without the State which he deems safer and convenient.

Section 11. In the event of an attack, the Governor shall call the General Assembly into session as soon as practicable, and in any case within ninety days following the inception of the attack. If the Governor fails to issue such call, the General Assembly shall, on the ninetieth day from the date of inception of the attack, automatically convene at the place where the Governor then has his office. Each legislator and each emergency interim successor, unless he is certain that the legislator to whose powers and duties he is designated to succeed or any emergency interim successor higher in order of succession will not be unavailable, shall proceed to the place of session as expeditiously as practicable. At each session or at any session in operation at the inception of the attack,

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2073

and at any subsequent sessions, limitations on the length of session and on the subject which may be acted upon shall be suspended.

Section 12. If in the event of an attack a legislator is unavailable, his emergency interim successor highest in order of succession, who is not unavailable shall, except for the power and duty to appoint emergency interim successors, exercise the powers and assume the duties of such legislator. An emergency in terim successor shall exercise these powers and assume these duties until the incumbent legislator, an emergency interim successor higher in order of succes sion, or a legislator appointed or elected and legally qualified can act. Each house of the General Assembly shall, in accordance with its own rules, determine who is entitled xinder the provisions of this act to exercise the powers and assume the duties of its members. All constitutional and statutory provisions pertain ing to ouster of a legislator shall be applicable to an emergency interim succes sor who is exercising the powers and assuming the duties of a legislator.

Section 13. When an emergency interim successor exercises the powers and assumes the duties of a legislator, he shall be accorded the privileges and im munities, compensation, allowances and other perquisites of office to which a legislator is entitled. In the event of an attack, each emergency interim succes sor, whether or not called upon to exercise the powers and assume the duties of a legislator, shall be accorded the privileges and immunities of a legislator while traveling to and from a place of session and shall be compensated for his travel in the same manner and amount as a legislator. This section shall not in any way affect the privileges, immunities, compensation, allowances or other perquisites of office of an incumbent legislator.

Section 14. In the event of an attack, (1) quorum requirements for the General Assembly shall be suspended, and (2) where the affirmative vote of a specified proportion of memebrs for approval of a Bill, Resolution or other action otherwise be required, the same proportion of those voting thereon shall be suf ficient.

Section 15. The authority of emergency interim successors to succeed to the powers and duties of legislators, and the operation of the provisions of this act relating to quorum, the number of affirmative votes required for legislative action, and limitations on the length of sessions and the subjects which may be acted upon, shall expire two years following the inception of an attack, but nothing herein shall prevent the resumption before such time of the filling of legislative vacancies and the calling of elections for the General Assembly in accordance with applicable constitutional and statutory provisions. The Gov ernor, acting by proclamation, or the General Assembly, acting by concurrent re solution, may from time to time extend or restore such authority or the opera tion of any of such provisions upon a finding that events render the extension or restoration necessary, but no extension or restoration shall be for a period of more than one year.

Section 16. This act shall take effect upon approval by the Governor.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2075

Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Emergency Interim Executive and Judicial Succession Act."

Section 2. Because of the existing possibility of attack upon the United States of unprecedented size and destructiveness, and in order, in the event of such an attack, to assure continuity of government through legally constituted leadership, authority and responsibility in offices of the government of the State and its political subdivisions; to provide for the effective operation of govern ments during an emergency; and to facilitate the early resumption of functions temporarily suspended, it is found and declared to be necessary to provide for additional officers who can exercise the powers and discharge the duties of Governor; to provide for emergency interim succession to governmental offices of this State and its political subdivisions in the event the incumbents thereof (and their deputies, assistants or other subordinate officers authorized, pursuant to law, to exercise all of the powers and discharge the duties of such offices -- hereinafter referred to as deputies) are unavailable to perform the duties and functions of such offices; and to provide for special emergency judges who can exercise the powers and discharge the duties of judicial offices in the event regular judges are unavailable.

Section 3. Unless otherwise clearly required by the context, as used in this act:
(a) "Unavailable" means either that a vacancy in office exists and there is no deputy authorized to exercise all of the powers and discharge the duties of the office, or that the lawful incumbent of the office (including any deputy exercising the powers and discharging the duties of an office because of a vac ancy) and his duly authorized deputy are absent or unable to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the office.
(b) "Emergency interim successor" means a person designated pursuant to this act, in the event the officer is unavailable, to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of an office until a successor is appointed or elected and qualified as may be provided by the Constitution, statutes, charters and ordinances or until the lawful incumbent is able to resume the exercise of the powers and discharge the duties of the office.

(e) "Political subdivision" includes counties, cities, towns, villages, town ships, districts, authorities, and other public corporations and entities whether organized and existing under charter or general law.

Section 4. In the event that the Governor, for any of the reasons specified in the Constitution, is not able to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of his office, or is unavailable, and in the event the Lieutenant Governor, Presi dent pro tempore of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives

2076

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

be for any of the reasons specified in the Constitution not able to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the office of Governor, or be unavailable, the Secretary of State, State Treasurer or Attorney General shall, in the order named, if the preceding named officers be unavailable, exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the office of Governor until a new Governer is elected and qualifies, or until a preceding named officer becomes available; provided, however, that no emergency interim successor to the aforementioned offices may serve as Gov ernor.

Section 5. All State officers, subject to such regulations as the Governor (or other official authorized under the Constitution and this act to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the office of Governor) may issue, shall, upon approval of this act, in addition to any deputy authorized pursuant to law to exercise all of the powers and discharge the duties of the office, designate by title emergency interim successors and specify their order of succession. The officer shall review and revise, as necessary, designations made pursuant to this act to insure their current status. The officer will designate a sufficient number of such emergency interim successors so that there will be not less than three nor more than seven such deputies or emergency interim successors or any combination thereof, at any time. In the event that any State officer is unavailable following an attack, and in the event his deputy, if any, is also unavailable, the powers of his office shall be exercised and the duties of his office shall be discharged by his designated emergency interim successors in the order specified. Such emer gency interim successors shall exercise the power and discharge the duties only until such time as the Governor under the Constitution or authority other than this act (or other official authorized under the Constitution or this act to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the office of Governor) may, where a vacancy exists, appoint a successor to fill the vacancy or until a successor is otherwise appointed, or elected and qualified as provided by law; or an officer (or his deputy or a preceding named emergency interim successor) becomes avail able to exercise or resume the exercise of the powers and discharge the duties of his office.

With respect to local offices for which the governing bodies of cities, towns, villages, townships, and counties may enact Resolutions or Ordinances relative to the manner in which vacancies will be filled or temporary appoint ments to office made, such bodies are hereby authorized to enact Resolutions or Ordinances providing for emergency interim successors to offices of such gov ernmental units. Such Resolutions and Ordinances shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the act.

Section 7. The provisions of this section shall be applicable to officers of political subdivisions (including, but not limited to, cities, towns, villages, townships and counties, as well as school, fire, power, water, sewer, watershed conservation, public service and drainage districts) not included in Section 6. Such officers, subject to such regulations as the executive head of the political subdivisions may issue, shall upon approval of this act, designate by title (if feasible) or by named person, emergency interim successors and specify their order of succession. The officer shall review and revise, as necessary, designations made pursuant to this act to insure their current status. The officer will designate a sufficient number of persons so that there will be not less than three, nor more than seven, deputies or emergency interim successors or any combination thereof, at any time. In the event that any officer of any political subdivision (or his deputy provided for pursuant to law) is unavailable, the powers of the

(c) The judge of the circuit court, upon approval of this act, shall designate not less than three special emergency judges for courts not of record within that circuit and shall specify their order of succession.

The special emergency judges shall, in the order specified, exercise the powers and discharge the duties of such office in case of the unavailability of the regular judge or persons immediately preceding them in the designation. The designating authority shall review and revise, as necessary, designations made pursuant to this act to insure their current status.
The special emergency judges shall discharge the duties and exercise the powers of such office until such time as a vacancy which may exist shall be filled in accordance with the Constitution and statutes or until the regular judge or one preceding the designee in the order of succession becomes available to ex ercise the powers and discharge the duties of the office.

Section 9. At the time of their designation, emergency interim successors and special emergency judges shall take such oath as may be required for them to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the office to which they may succeed. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person, as a prerequisite to the exercise of the powers or discharge of the duties of an office to which he succeeds, shall be required to comply with any other provision of law relative to taking office.

committees. The Committee shall have ten (10) days per member for necessary meetings. The funds necessary to carry out the purposes of this Resolution shall come from funds appropriated to or available to the Legislative Branch of Government.

STATEMENT BY THE CO-CHAIRMEN

As we planned the work of these Committees we asked these three questions: namely,
(1) What is the function in general of these Committees?
(2) What are some of our main goals or objectives?
(3) How shall we go about working to accomplish these aims?

As a background for the consideration of question one--What is our function, we referred to the Joint Committee's Report of 1961 in which we agreed upon the "Bases for Recommendations". To quote some of the criteria:

"The State of Georgia is obligated to provide an opportunity for every child to have access to a quality education program regardless of where the child lives.

The money should be secured where the wealth is to provide the educational program where the children are. All should share in the cost according to their ability to pay taxes.

The State Department of Education, the State Board of Education, and the Legislature have separate and distinct responsibilities in providing and executing the educational program.
(a) The State Department of Education, through the State Superintendent of Schools and his staff, is responsible for furnishing the leadership and pro fessional technical skills for planning, administering, supervising, and evaluating the program. It should do the research necessary to find ways to improve the quality and scope of the program. It is the 'professional arm' of the State Board of Education. The State Superintendent of Schools is responsible to the people of the State for professional leadership, administrative ability, and supervisory skill to see that the children get quality education through whatever programs are authorized by their representatives, the Legislature.
(b) The Legislature makes the decisions as to the relative amount of money to be spent for each program and the various phases or parts. It decides how much and what programs it will 'buy' or finance."

Some might say the Legislature should accept, without question, the plan handed it by the professional group--that the layman does not have the knowhow to judge the professional plan. This does not necessarily follow.

Although the above statements refer more specifically to the State Board of Education and the public school program, the same applies also to the Uni versity System of Higher Education and the Board of Regents.

It appeared that the function of the Joint Committee was in the main to evaluate the plans and programs worked out by the professional technical groups

2082

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

of the State represented by the State Board of Education, the State Board of Regents, and others working through those official channels. This Committee represents and informs the Legislature relative to the programs it should "buy". The Legislature represents the people of the State. The Committee also looked into the work of these professional groups to see if their programs were adequate, comprehensive in scope, and that no parts of an adequate program were neglected.

Let us consider the second question we posed in the beginning--What are some of our main goals or objectives? We assumed here that the professional groups that recommend programs of action had taken representatives of various professional and lay organizations, interested in the welfare of the people of the State, into their planning of educational programs. A good illustration is the PIE (Program of Improvement of Education in Georgia). The Joint Com mittee studied recommendations that had been made by this and other professional groups.

We also studied goals and objectives from the reports of planning done by our Southern Regional Education Board which has been sponsored by southern governors for the past several years. More specifically, we call your attention to the "Report of the Commission on Goals for Higher Education in the South" made after a study by a distinguished group of educators and laymen. This report states five goals:
"(1) To provide every individual with opportunity for maximum develop ment of his abilities.
(2) To produce citizens responsive to the social, economic and political needs of their time.
(3) To achieve excellence in teaching, scholarship and research.
(4) To accelerate the economic progress of the southern region through education and research.
(5) To guide the region in solving social problems created by popula tion changes, racial differences, urbanization and technological growth."

Since our great State is the core of the Southeast, we should make the great est advance toward these goals as well as others we may set up. These goals refer more specifically to the work of our higher education institutions and adult programs. However, we must tie in the earlier education program with this higher education program. We must look judiciously at all phases of our develop mental program in Georgia. We will do well to look at the recommendations of this Commission in our planning for Georgia's education improvement program
for the next five or ten years.

The third question we posed in the beginning was--How shall we go about working to accomplish this program ?

The Commission Report to which we referred recommended among other things: "Every Southern State should have a central agency for long-range planning and coordination of higher education." This might be applied to both our public school program and to our higher education program since the two are closely related and one depends upon the other. Then, should we not have a central, or certainly a coordinated agency, whereby over-all state planning might

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2083

take place so as to project our education needs for the next five or ten years? This should keep us from getting on our "education horse" and everyone trying to ride off in every direction.

This Committee then began in the direction defined by the following points:

(1) Gathered information and data as to how well our present agencies are planning for our immediate and long-range education needs.

(2) Gathered facts and data on Georgia's status as related to needs and goals outlined in the Commission's Report.

(3) The work was so tremendous that a division of effort was devised. Committees were set up to explore present status and future needs of special vocational schools, trade school program, junior college program, financing Minimum Foundation Program, and teacher's salaries--both public school and university system.

(4) Gathered facts and date from other states in the southern region as to how they are implementing the program recommended by the above mentioned Commission.

(5) Much of the preliminary work of gathering facts and data on present programs; work of each agency now working within both public school and higher education programs; and how Georgia's needs relate to regional southern needs for the next 5 or 10 years was done by staff effort during the first months without many Committee meetings.

(6) Finally the Joint Committee attempted to fit together the work of the several small committees into a well balanced program, and makes the following report on findings, procedures, and recommendations.

J. Battle Hall, Chairman Education Committee

Chappelle Matthews, Chairman University System Committee

RESUME OF COMMITTEE PROCEDURES

The procedures used by the Joint Education Committee of the House consisted of a variety of types: namely, (1) hearings at which testimony was taken or presentations were made; (2) visits to other states at which time State Depart ments of Education, Boards of Higher Education, or colleges within the state were visited; (3) Southern Regional Education Board was visited and research consultants were interviewed; (4) conferences on pertinent problems in educa tion were attended; (5) a variety of publications, charts, graphs, and survey reports pertaining to post-high school education was gathered and analyzed; (6) procedures of the State budget authorities and preliminary budget requests of the State Board of Education and the State Board of Regents were analyzed.
Sub-committees studied various phases of the State's education program such as (1) appropriations for public schools and for higher education; (2) Mini mum Foundation Program for Education formula; (3) community junior college program; and (4) vocational-technical school program for high school, post-high school, and adult education.
Visits were made to the following states and/or reports were secured:
North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Cailfornia, and Iowa. Five comprehensive

2084

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

community junior colleges in addition to the State Department of Education in California were visited by a sub-committee. These represented a cross section of community junior colleges from larger to smaller and from urban to rural areas. California has had the longest and most varied experience with community junior colleges. Florida has had approximately five years experience with this comprehensive type program. North Carolina is a sample of a state going in one direction with a liberal arts type junior college program and now changing to a statewide program of the comprehensive type community junior college. It is also the state nearest Georgia's size and nature that has a very high percentage of private education institutions on four year college and junior college levels.

The sub-committee on M.F.P.E. and appropriations study held one session to hear the report of the State Coordinating Committee for Education. This group gave a breakdown of required legislation which state education agencies have agreed to sponsor in 1963.

The sub-committee on M.F.P.E. received completed tax digest valuation studies of all the counties in the State made by Mr. Campbell's Property Tax Division.

The Junior College Sub-Committee consulted with Dr. A. J. Brumbaugh, Research Consultant for the Southern Regional Education Board. This was re corded by court reported, and is available for reference. Also available for refer ence is a transcript of the Committee hearings, North Carolina Statewide Survey of Higher Education, the North Carolina Governor's Commission Report, publi cations of the California Department of Education concerning all aspects of comprehensive junior college (financing, curriculum, administrative organization, individual junior college catalogs, record of day-long conference with Dr. Gerald D. Cresci on a practical application of the community junior college program, etc.); Florida's Comprehensive Junior College Story with charts showing five year growth and other pertinent facts; Iowa's report of statewide study with recommendations on education beyond the high school level; and other publica tions from the National Association of Junior Colleges.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF JOINT HOUSE EDUCATION COMMITTEE
It is recommended that the Governor and the General Assembly by appropriate action set into effect in 1963 a complete study and analysis of Georgia's total educational needs from the first grade through the university level. The Commit tee feels that this can best be accomplished by the establishment of a state-wide citizens' study commission with sufficient authority to effect a thorough and detailed study and evaluation of all facets of education including, but not limited to: our common schools--curriculum, transportation, teachers' salaries, teacher allotment, local system operations, physical education, extra-curricular activities, vocational education in high schools, school libraries, and supplemental services; the State Department of Education--teacher qualifications, vocational education, instructional materials, internal operations, and distribution of funds to local systems; post-high school education--area vocational schools, junior colleges operated by the Board of Regents, community junior colleges, four-year colleges and the universities. This study should result in a comprehensive projection and over-all plan for our educational needs and expenditures for the next decade, and should produce an outline for a coordinated total educational program from the first grade through the university system. The Committee further feels that

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2085

consideration should be given to authorizing this commission to contract with an agency skilled in the techniques of conducting achievement surveys in the several schools in order to fully evaluate and compare the achievement levels in the various school systems in our state.

RECOMMENDATIONS ON POST-HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION
1. That the State of Georgia institute a state-wide system of community junior colleges, and enact such legislation as is needed to effectuate this program during the 1963 session of the General Assembly. Refer to Appendix page 45, page 46.
2. Our community junior colleges should be established in accordance with an over-all state plan for post-high school education. This recommendation includes recommendations of a complete state-wide survey of the post-high school education needs in the state and should result in a comprehensive state plan to meet these needs. The legislature should provide the authorization and financing for the preparation of a state plan as well as define its scope and the nature of its study committee membership.
The state plan for higher education should take into account the outlook of the people of the state toward post-high school education, the kinds of education important to the state, and those persons who should be afforded opportunities for this education. The plan should recognize the geographic distribution of the state's population and provide for equality of educational opportunity to citizens living in both sparsely and densely settled areas. Provisions should be made for the inclusion of all parts of the state in com munity junior college districts. The state plan should describe the manner in which these districts may be formed, either from a single school or county district or from multiple districts or counties.
By providing for evaluation and analysis of institutional operations, the state plan should encourage qualities which will lead to full accreditation of all institutions of higher learning within the state, including community junior colleges.
3. A local community junior college should be established only after a survey which will determine the relationship of the proposed district to the state plan and the readiness of the proposed district to accept its share of responsibility.
The initiative for the local survey may come from either the local com munity or the state. In either case, the survey should be made under the guidance of professionally trained persons who understand the basic philoso phy of community junior college education. The survey team should enlist the support and assistance of a sizeable and broadly representative group of local citizens who are interested in providing additional educational oppor tunities for the community.
Underlying the establishment of any local community junior college should be a recognition by the people of the need for the institution and the values it can bring to the community. Therefore, the progress and findings of the survey should be matters of public knowledge and the local citizens group should be the agent for making this information known to the com munity. The survey report should provide the facts upon which the voter can subsequently make intelligent decisions.

2086

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

4. The legislature should establish a state agency with responsibilities for approving the establishment of the community junior college in accordance with the state plan or should assign such responsibility to an existing state agency which has over-all supervisory authority.
It should be the responsibility of the state agency to develop criteria and determine whether a proposal to establish an individual community junior college is compatible with the state plan. When the approval to establish the college is received from the state agency, the local district may then proceed to establish the institution as provided by law and the regulations of the state agency.
Minimum approval criteria, either stautory or regulatory, should govern the decision of the state agency. Suggested criteria include potential enroll ments of the college, base population of the proposed district, assessed valu ation, and the willingness of the local electorate to bear a share of the costs of operation and/or capital outlay.
The State approval agency should be protected by legislation from pressure and coercion. The rights of a community, however, to seek recon sideration of a proposal should be preserved.
Minimum standards for operation should be set up to insure quality of instruction, breadth of educational opportunity, and effectiveness of opera tion. The state agency should use appropriate means to insure that these minimum standards are met.
Approval by the state agency should be the basis for receipt of state funds by the community junior college.
The state legislature should provide an appropriation adequate to permit the effective functioning of the state agency in carrying out its responsi bilities.

5. The control of a community junior college should be vested in a local board whose sole responsibility is the operation and management of the college.
The state has the constitutent responsibility for public education, and has assigned certain parts of this responsibility to various local districts, making the actual responsibility for education a joint one. The board con trolling a community junior college should be as close as possible to the people served by the institution. The board should be responsible to the citizens and have sufficient size and tenure to carry out its responsibilities efficiently. The local board should be responsible for the community junior college alone.
This junior college legislation and state plans should provide for the cre ation of separate community junior college districts governed by separate boards of control. Each district should conform as closely as possible to the area from which the student will come.
The relationship between the local board and the state agency should be a cooperative one, affording a maximum degree of control for the local board. By having broad authority for curriculum development and services, the local board can respond directly and promptly to community needs.

6. The community junior colleges should have assurance of continued financial support with a minimum tuition burden on the students.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2087

Continued financial support implies that a plan with specific authoriza tion in the statutes is needed.
(a) The plan for financing should provide for the joint responsibility of the local area and the state in supporting the community junior colleges.
(b) There should be provision for an equalization measure which would insure a similar quality of educational opportunity in all sections of the state.
(c) The financial obligation of providing the necessary capital ex penditures should be shared equally by the state and the community college district.
(d) The provision of present state law regarding grants to students in community junior colleges should be sufficient to meet the State obligation for operational purposes. The balance of the operational funds should be borne by the local community junior college district.
7. The program of the community junior colleges should contribute to meeting the diverse post-high school educational needs of the community and the state.
The community junior college is properly a part of a well-planned state system of higher education; it has unique institutional characteristics of its own, and incorporates the following comprehensive educational pro gram:
(a) Transfer or university parallel curricula including pre-professional and/or liberal arts courses. Graduates of these programs are eligible to transfer to the third year of a four-year institution and to pursue studies leading to the baccalaureate degree;
(b) Technical curricula which prepare students for semi-professional employment in various fields associated with business, industry, health, and agriculture;
(c) Responsibility for post-high school programs which include curricula designed to increase occupational and vocational competence;
(d) Continuing education programs whose main focus is on educa tion beyond the high school principally for adults.
8. The organization, operation, and control of the community junior colleges should reflect both a recognition of the institutional integrity of the college and its coordinate relationships with other educational levels within the state.
The community junior college should be recognized as a distinct and unique institution in its own right. It should be neither an appendage of a secondary school nor a detached fragment of a state college or university.
The community junior college should have autonomy to develop its own program, and its operation should be under the control of a board created especially for this purpose.
Administrative leadership in the community junior college should be of high quality. This leadership should be capable of cooperative and productive relationships with other educational administrators in the state in the con sideration of mutual problems and concerns. These relationships include articulation with the secondary schools, with upper-division and graduate

2088

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

extension courses offered by the state universities, and formal involvement in the total post-high school educational program of the community and the state.
9. Many functions of post-high school education and many services and train ing functions in education transcend all levels of our educational system. There is very little coordination among our different established educational agencies. A system or agency should be provided that will solve this problem.

10. As is the policy in our elementary and high schools at the present time, it should be the policy of the State of Georgia to encourage every Georgian who can profit from training or education above the high school level to continue his education according to his ability and to the extent of his ability. Programs should be provided, tuitions should be lowered, and scholarships should be pro vided to the end that this is achieved.

The direction that post high school education in Georgia should take is a most important consideration at the present time. This includes the entire educa tional opportunities of our people who have finished high school, those who have dropped out of high school, and those who are already employed but need addi tional educational opportunities. So opportunities in adult education, technicalvocational-terminal education, junior college education, four year college education, and education in our universities are all included.

What we have in mind is the whole relationship--the question of relationship between an expanding junior college education, our technical-vocational schools, our entire University System, and vocational education in our high schools. All of these things can be properly meshed together to make a maximum contribu tion to the largest possible number of people without duplicating facilities and without getting into the question of jurisdictional squabbles. We should bring to bear in any area where there is a projected expansion the very best thinking possible in order to best coordinate the resources and facilities, and how to best utilize the resource available to make the maximum contributions. We actually have an advantage that might help make progress in this area in that we have an open field. We can go in any one of several directions because our hands are not tied by commitments.
The State of California has recently reached the highest per capita income level of any state in the nation. Many people credit this to the investments made by California in their educational program which includes, in addition to their elementary and high schools, a state-wide system of community junior colleges (their junior college program includes college transfer courses, technical-vocational courses, and adult education), a system of state colleges and the University of California System. All of these are provided with no tuition charge to a resident of California. A number of people have asked why the electronic space industry tended to locate in California. The answer is obvious--they have located in a place where there is a source for training personnel in electronics opportunities.

If we will bring to bear all of our resources and formulate a pattern for the State of Georgia that will project down through the years the direction in which we should move, it will result in higher income and in helping make Georgia the kind of State that will achieve its full potential.

The problem of financing the State's institutions of higher learning has been

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2089

well presented by the able staff of the Board of Regents. Their estimates of needs are adequately substantiated by statistics and materials on file with the Committee. The increases in enrollments, operating costs, research costs, and graduate program costs have all combined to add to the financial burden of our institutions of higher learning. Some relief has been given by higher state appro priations and higher student fees, but the major relief must come from a more realistic state support, or some important programs in these fine institutions will be curtailed. The growth of Georgia and Georgia's economic and industrial growth are closely tied to these institutions of higher learning. The meeting of their needs is in the interest and continued welfare of all the people of Georgia.

The U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, in its issue of February 26, 1962, published a regional breakdown of areas of the United States indicating the diffi culties of college admission. Georgia was included in the region labeled, "Second Most Difficult to Get in College". The region with the greatest entrance diffi culties is the New England area encompassing a total of nine states. The six regions permitting greater ease of college admission include 33 states.

The continuing upsurge in the number of students seeking to enroll in all institutions of higher education in this country has brought about a serious re-examination of the entire pattern of post-high school education in this country. In an effort to help meet the rising demand for a wide range of higher educational opportunities, many states are currently engaged in long range studies of posthigh school educational needs with special attention given to the establishment of state systems of two-year community junior colleges or the expansion and improvement of existing ones.
The Committee's studies give definite proof that by the end of this decade young people seeking admission to college in Georgia will exceed the present capacity of State institutions plus the planned capacity of private institutions by many thousands (at least 25,000). This means that many of these young people will have no college opportunity unless we plan and act now. Some argue that this figure will be higher, but it cannot be denied that the figure, whatever it is, will be staggering. Nor can it be disputed that the figure would be much higher if we did what we should to encourage the percentages of our high school graduates to attend college so as to bring the percentage of our high school graduates entering college up to the national average. In a day when some kind of post-high school education is essential to any sort of profitable employment, Georgia is sending a smaller percentage of our young people to college than do four-fifths of the fifty states. Georgia cannot afford this "economy". The ques tion is--How can we provide these post-high school educational opportunities for these young Georigans without which both they and the State will wither?

Our problem is too few classrooms, too little money, and too little time. We cannot build adequate colleges in the traditional pattern; we don't have the money. If we did, too many students would not attend in the traditional pattern because they don't have the money. We need college, vocational and technical opportunities in large numbers of high quality--preparing students for additional college, or preparing students for life and work without additional college. We need this at low cost, quickly, and students need low charges.

With this, then what can we do?

We already have in Georgia the concept of community colleges with certain

2090

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

legal provisions, and we have the area vocational-technical concept. The former is being tried on a limited basis, and the latter on a rapidly expanding basis. We have some information on how these work, what they can do, and whom they will reach.
There is concensus among outstanding educators with extensive experience in the community junior college field that, on principle, the community college should be comprehensive incorporating in an institution at least three things; appropriate technical-vocational work, college parallel studies, and adult education all being responsive to the changing needs of the area served by the college. These colleges should be within commuting distance, and the provision of dormitory facilities should not be contemplated.

The Committee feels that we have the framework and the experience to accomplish this goal, that it can be done rapidly, that it should be relatively low in cost, that it would reach the largest possible number of students, that it would be less costly to the student, and that as Georgia grows, enough money can be freed to adequately finance our other institutions of higher learning.

The plan should be a system of public two-year post-high school institutions offering college parallel, technical-vocational-terminal, and adult education in struction tailored to area needs, subject to state level supervision by a state board advised by a State community college advisory council.

With a system of comprehensive community colleges, we will be able to meet the total need, to challenge many more high school graduates to continue their learning, to raise the technical competence of our people, to raise the level of an educated citizenry, to increase our income to provide enrichment to the lives of those who otherwise will be passed by, and to grow in stature as a State and a people.

BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS--PUBLIC SCHOOL PROGRAM
1. The first 7 million dollars going to the common schools above the amount budgeted for the year 1962-63 be used to increased classroom teachers' salaries.
2. That next consideration be given to providing additional classroom teach ers so that the local schools will have adequate staffs from the first grade through the twelfth grade.
3. The State Department of Education should furnish the local school systems their school budget not later than May 1, prior to the beginning of the next fiscal year. This will enable the local school systems to know what funds will be available for budgeting for the next school year. Once the local systems have adopted their budgets, they should operate by them. In the setting up of the budgets and in their operation, sufficient safeguards should be provided to assure that the systems operate within the income available.
4. That a long-term projection of the needs of our common schools be made including a breakdown by all present programs and all projected programs.
The 1961 Joint Committee made a comprehensive study of the fiscal affairs of the State Department of Education, and made several important recommenda tions (See Appendix, page 32). It is noted here that considerable progress has

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2091

been made by the Department of Education and the Budget Commission in put ting the first five recommendations in this report into effect. The complete activation of these recommendations will make the fiscal operation of the De partment much more easily understood.

It is noted here that in the past the State Department of Education and the State Board of Education have, in effect, received a lump sum appropriation to cover their total operation, and have, after receiving the lump sum appropriation, made up their operating budget. The changes in procedures under the new budget laws have thrown a great deal of additional work on the Division of Administra tion headed by Dr. Alien C. Smith. In addition to the additional work in furnishing information to the Budget Commission, the Joint Committee has called on his office for a great deal of information. His office is to be commended for the good work being done.

This report includes, in addition to recommendations, a brief summary of the different items in the State School Budget, and also comparative budgets beginning with 1950-51 up through the present school year. When the new appro priation bill is presented, comparisons with past expenditures can easily be made.

EXPLANATION OP BUDGET ITEMS AS GIVEN BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
1. (a) Teachers Salaries
This amount includes the base State salaries of all certificated personnel except superintendents, visiting teachers and curriculum directors.
(b) Normal Salary Increases
State salaries of teachers are based on training and years of experience. As these change, the certificate salaries change and funds must be budgeted to pay for these "normal" salary increases. There are more than 6000 changes in certificates each year, and the average cost has been $1,400,000.00.
(c) Mid-term adjustment
A law passed by the General Assembly several years ago requires that allotments to school systems be adjusted on a current attendance basis. This amount included in the proposed 1963-1965 budget is a conservative estimate of the cost of allotting the additional earned teachers, main tenance and operation allotments and textbooks.
(d) Grants-in-aid for in-service training
These funds are budgeted to grant to local school systems for inservice training of teachers, on recommendation of the county or city superin tendent, to improve the quality of instruction. A teacher may be approved for a grant for special study. The grant is paid to the county or city board of education, and the teacher must continue to teach in Georgia in order to qualify for the grant which is on a reimbursement basis.
(e) Salaries of county and regional librarians

2092

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Legislation passed by the General Assembly requires the State Board of Education to administer the public library program. Librarians for the county and regional libraries are paid on a State salary schedule, and State funds are allotted for this purpose. These allotments are paid to the local library boards through the county boards of education.
(f) Grants for system-wide services (salaries and travel)
This amount includes the base certificate salaries of superintendents, visiting teachers, and curriculum directors. In addition, it includes funds for State supplements for visiting teachers and curriculum directors and travel for local personnel authorized by law to travel (vocational teachers, visiting teachers, and curriculum directors).

2. Current Operating Expenses and Sick Leave
Allotments are included in the Foundation Program budget for current oper ating expenses (maintenance and operation of plant, etc.) and sick leave for teachers as authorized by law. The allotment is based on the number of Stateallotted teachers (not including superintendents, curriculum directors and visiting teachers). In 1962-1963 the amount per State allotted teacher is $450 for maintenance and operation and $50 for sick leave.

3. Pupil Transportation
Under State law the State Board of Education is required to allot funds for pupil transportation based on the density of transported pupils. Each system is allotted the median cost per pupil for systems in the density group. Funds are included in the budget for the biennium to meet this obligation.

4. (a) Payments to State School Building Authority
These are allotments of State funds assigned to the State School Build ing Authority by local school systems as security for Authority bonds to construct school buildings under the 1951-1952 and 1960-1961 building programs authorized by the General Assembly.

These are allotments to local systems under the 1951-1952 and 1960-1961 building programs in situations where the local board of education elected not to use the Building Authority, or capitalized only a part of the allotment through the Authority.

5. Equalization Fund Allotments
The Foundation Law provides for a contingent fund allotment to be used for systems which have difficulties in providing the minimum level of education prescribed by law. The State Board uses this fund on a formula basis to place a floor under the amounnt of money available in any system for the Foundation Program.
6. Textbooks and Library Service
(a) Allotments for textbooks
The State textbook law requires the allotment of not less than $3 per child based on total enrollment for free textbooks. With the increase in

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2093

cost of textbooks it has been necessary to increase this amount, so that the current allotment is $3.75 per child. The allotment for each system is reserved to pay for textbooks ordered by each system and shipped directly to the system by the publisher.
(b) Allotments for school libraries
Each system receives an allotment for school libraries based on the num ber of State allotted teachers. The local system matches these funds on a basis of $1 of local funds for each $2 of State funds. The State allot ment this year is $20 per State-allotted teacher, and is used for the pur chase of books, magazines and other library materials.
(c) Allotments for rural libraries
These allotments are made for the purchase of materials for rural libra ries (books, periodicals, etc.). The allotments are based on the number of State-allotted teachers and administered under the same policies as are used for school library allotments.
Note that State funds under this program are used to match federal funds which are available for this program,
(d) Audio-Visual Service
This appropriation is used to purchase audio-visual materials (films and tapes, to be loaned to local school systems) and for operation of four film libraries. An average of 200,000 films are loaned annually by the film libraries at Statesboro, Tifton, Macon and Atlanta. The amount budgeted covers purchase of materials, rental on space for the libraries, repairs to films, and shipping charges. For the past several years, the annual appropriation has been $250,000.

Limited allotments are also made to local systems for the purchase of shop equipment on a matching basis.
(b) State Trade Schools
These appropriations pay the operating costs of the two State resi dential vocational-technical schools at Americus and Clarkesville. Termi nal vocational-technical training is available to white students in a wide variety of occupations.

2094

The remainder of the State appropriation is used to match federal funds under Title V of the National Defense Education Act on a dollar-for-dollar basis for testing and guidance in high schools. All school systems of the State participate in this program.
9. Required local effort
In addition to State and Federal funds, local systems share in the cost of the Minimum Foundation Program to the extent State-wide of 7 mills on the total digest for schools. The local effort is applied to the cost of salaries, maintenance, operation and sick leave, and transportation. The total required local effort for 1962-1963 is $27,500,000.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

RECOMMENDATIONS--MINIMUM FOUNDATION PROGRAM

1. It is recommended that a plan be worked out that will let the State appro priate State funds only, and let the local school systems budget local funds subject to minimum standards and requirements as set by the State.
2. Until recommendation #1 is achieved (it will take research and study), it is recommended that the total of State and local funds budgeted in M.F.P.E. be completely shown and controlled by the Appropriation Bill. (This will enable the Budget Commission and the General Assembly to completely control the M.F.P.E.)
3. Until a complete adjustment can be made, the Committee recommends the plan on required local effort as approved by the Georgia Education Coordinating Committee. See Appendix, page 50. (It is in reality another way of doing the same thing, yet it has the advantage of being more simple, and the amount of a local system's effort will be known enough in advance so that the local system can do adequate budgeting.)
4. A complete adjustment of the M.F.P.E. should include a method of allot ting teachers by schools, a realistic and efficient transportation system based on approved bus routes, and a simplified method of requiring local effort based on minimum standards. The new method of determining local effort should provide more local control which should encourage local systems to go beyond the minimuni local effort.

The M.F.P.E. Program as used in Georgia is a formula for allocating State and local funds so that a minimum program of education will be provided in each of Georgia's public school systems. Understanding the program and analyzing the exact expenditure of State funds is complicated because of the fact that the State Budget as ordinarily shown includes local funds as well as State funds, yet the General Assembly in making its appropriation, deals with State funds only. In effect the General Assembly not only appropriates state tax funds, but also appropriates local tax funds.

APPENDIX
STATEMENTS BY THE CO-CHAIRMEN -- 1961
The 1960 Joint Committee on Teacher Education recommended that the Joint Committees study the fiscal affairs of the Public School system. One question asked by the 1960 Report was: Why can North Carolina and Florida pay con siderably higher teachers salaries than can Georgia when the state appropriation for schools on a per pupil basis is as high in Georgia as in either of these states? The report that follows answers this question.
Education is the most important single function of both our State and local governments--most important in terms of money spent and most important in terms of its meaning and service to the people. The Legislative branch of our government has a most important function in the educational enterprise: Pass laws to effectuate the educational function; levy taxes to provide needed revenue; appropriate the funds necessary for the operation of our schools. A very high percent of the cost of the public school system is on the shoulders of the State,

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2111

and it is, therefore, incumbent upon the legislative branch to have first hand in formation available so that the necessary functions can be well achieved.

The purpose of this study has been twofold: to present the facts about the expenditures of our public school funds; and to acquaint the members of the Legislature with these facts and also the needs of our public schools.

The major emphasis in this study has been to analyze the over-all fiscal operation of our school program. Within the time available it was impossible to analyze the expenditures of the school funds on the local level or to determine whether or not a given program is important in relation to the over-all school program.

It is my opinion that the state school leadership has allowed our school pro gram to get out of balance. We will continue to have a poor school system in all those schools where we do not have an adequate supply of well trained and dedicated teachers. The State Department of Education through the authority of the State Board of Education has had sufficient authority to control this situation. Even though new laws may be needed in some areas, the State Board already has sufficient authority to begin correcting this situation. The percent of the budget in instructional salaries is entirely too low. The percent allocated to instructional salaries in the State of Florida should be achieved in Georgia in the near future. The need is for a better teacher allotment and for much better sala ries. Until this is achieved, increases in other expenditures should be secondary.

In effect the teachers in Georgia for several years have been subsidizing the school building program, the instructional materials program, the transportation program, the over-staffed State Department of Education, and several other functions that have far less relative importance than a good teacher in a good classroom. However, the trend has been and seems to still be in the direction of developing expensive statewide programs that have the sure effect of draining needed funds from the important function named above.

J. Battle Hall, Chairman House Education Committee
and Chairman, Joint Committee on Education

The 1960 Joint Committee on Teacher Education made a STRONG recom mendation that the Joint Committees make a careful study of the fiscal affairs of the public school system of Georgia, and also compare the fiscal affairs of the State School System of Georgia with that of comparable neighboring states, pay ing particular attention as to the expenditure per pupil and calibre of graduates.
Education today is the most important function of our local, state and na tional governments. I say this because of the so-called "Cold War." Our task is to surpass, not equal them. Therefore, the demand by the people back home on their Representatives in the General Assembly, is to give us the very best educa tion possible for our children, from the first grade completely through the Doctor of Philosophy degree offered by the colleges. Therefore, it is our responsibility as Committee members to review very closely all functions of the Department of Education (having made a very comprehensive study in 1960 of the University System).

2112

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Therefore, following HR 157, the purpose of this Committee is as follows: a. Present the facts concerning the expenditure of our public school funds, b. To give to the Legislature the facts and the needs of our public schools.

This study made by the Committee this year, in addition to the study made of the University System in 1960, which has been made available to all members of the General Assembly and the public, shows that there is an apparent emergen cy existing in our education system that must be corrected immediately, if we are to have adequate education for children. There must be cooperation starting with the first grade all the way through college to the highest level. It is my opinion that we must have better, in fact absolute, cooperation between the following: Department of Education, State Board of Education, the Board of Regents of the University System, the Local Level Administrators, the Members of the General Assembly, and other responsible people.

To explain this further, I will use an example:
The Georgia School of Technology, which is recognized as one of the leading institutions of this type in America, can take more Georgia boys and girls, and wants to do this. Tech's preference is to educate the young people of Georgia, but due to the lack of adequate training in the high schools and grade schools, students from these schools, even with exceptionally high I.Q.'s can not pass the difficult examinations that are required to become an engineer, architect, scientist, etc.

I do not think the average person has any idea of the remedial courses that Georgia Tech and all other institutions of higher learning have to have, and this is a tremendous cost to higher education. The effect on the morale of the students who come from an inferior high school and have to take these remedial courses in college is detrimental.

Therefore, in summing up this report, I realize that one of the major prob lems in the education system is the inadequate salaries paid instructors. In dis cussing this matter with business and lay people throughout Georgia, I have come to the conclusion that the people will bear any reasonable expense to give each and every child an adequate education whether it be vocational, elementary, high school, college or graduate work; provided, the public is satisfied that each school dollar is spent wisely. In the expenditure of tax funds, insure that plans are made to spend the tax dollar first on the child's education. Furthermore, good educational planning should advance in direct proportion to the expenditure of State funds. It is incumbent on the State Department of Education to stream line its Department for more efficient cooperation with the Local Boards of Educa tion and every college unit within the State, both public and private. While we realize all of the school children will not want to go to college, or possibly are not college material, there must be adequate communication between the institu tions of higher learning, the Local Board and the State Board.

Careful consideration should be given to any new programs for the possible elimination of unnecessary extra-curricular activities required by the teaching personnel throughout the State System. In plain words, let the teacher be a class room teacher first.

There is an obligation on the General Assembly to see that these are carried

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2113

out and that the General Assembly assume its full responsibility toward develop ment of a first-class school system and that the money is being spent efficiently from the top to the bottom.
Chappelle Matthews, Chairman House University System Committee

RECOMMENDATIONS FROM PREVIOUS EDUCATION COMMITTEE REPORTS
The next number of pages includes recommendations from the 1961, 1960, 1959, 1957, and the 1953 Committee reports. It is interesting to note that many recommendations made have been carried out while other recommendations made that are still desirable and advocated by the Legislature have not been carried out.

RECOMMENDATIONS -- 1961
1. The General Assembly by appropriate action create the position of Budget Officer or Controller who shall supervise the fiscal affairs of the State School System. The legislation should outline and define responsibilities clearly so that no conflict or split of authority will exist between the Controller, the State Board of Education, or the State Department of Education which is responsible to the Superintendent of Schools.
2. Bookkeeping and budgeting forms should be standardized showing last year's expenditures, this year's expenditures, and projected expenditures for two additional years.
3. Each biennium the proposed public school budget should be prepared and presented to the members of the General Assembly not later than December 1 preceding the session.
4. No new educational programs should be started without legislative author ity and direct legislative appropriation. The Appropriation Bill should contain sufficient money to enable the Department and the State Board to conduct re search of proposed and specified new programs.
5. The Department should not be able to transfer funds from one item of the budget to another. If money is left over in one division, it should be returned to the State Treasury. The Department should justify quarterly to the Budget Commission the amount needed for each service.
In making these recommendations the Committee is not interested in going into administrative details. We are requesting only that the budget be in enough detail to show what the money will be used for and that once the budget is adopted, that it be followed.
6. From all who discussed transportation the Committee learned that the present system is expensive and inefficient; therefore, we recommend that addi tional study should be given to this matter and a transportation law should be enacted that will enable the local school systems to provide a safe and efficient school transportation system. (Recommendations made by the Minimum Founda tion Program Committee on this subject have many commendable features.)

2114

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Inasmuch as the Minimum Foundation Program Committee will furnish us with certain formulae and specific recommendations after this report is written, we will have to defer any specific recommendations until later when this informa tion is available.
7. The Minimum Foundation Program Committee has made recommendations regarding a new method of calculating the required local effort and a new method of arriving at an economic index. (Note page 33.) Inasmuch as the Committee has not been furnished with information sufficient to determine the effect of these proposals upon each school system, the Committee feels that it does not have sufficient information to make recommendations for or against these Mini mum Foundation Program Committee recommendations.

Inasmuch as it will take considerable amount of time for accurate informa tion to be given on this matter, the Joint Committee recommends as follows:

Beginning with the school year 1962-63, a one year delay be used in figuring the required local effort and also the economic index. This will enable the local school systems to know one year in advance what their required local effort will be.
8. The maximum amount of required local effort should be specified by statute whether that be as now a 7 mills levy on the tax digest or as recom mended by the Minimum Foundation Program Committee on a percentage basis. But the amount of required local effort for each biennium should be controlled by the Appropriations Bill.
9. The State Department of Education should furnish the local school systems their school budget not later than May 1, prior to the beginning of the next fiscal year. This will enable the local school systems to know what funds will be avail able for budgeting for the next school year. Once the local systems have adopted their budgets they should operate by them. In the setting up of the budgets and in their operation, sufficient safeguards should be provided to assure that the systems operate within the income available.
10. It is apparent to the Joint Committee from this fiscal study as was ap parent to the General Assembly during the last session that the greatest need for additional state money is for additional teachers and for increased teachers' salaries. We refer to the recommendations on teachers' salaries as given in the 1960 Joint Committee Report on Teacher Education which have not been imple mented, as follows:

"TEACHER SALARIES
Teacher salaries should be brought at least up to the national average in the earliest possible time. The State and local communities can do this by working together. Even though there are many other contributing factors, everyone agrees that the shortage of teachers cannot be alleviated, and that there will not be an adequate supply of well trained teachers, until salaries are adequate.
It is noted that the state's per capita income is below the national average, but that the state's contribution to public schools on a percentage basis is the highest in the nation. It also is noted that the State of Georgia provides more money per student enrolled than do most of our neighboring states, yet our salary schedule is lower.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2115

We recommend that the State Board of Education and the State Department of Education start correcting this situation.

SALARY SCHEDULE
At the present time teachers can earn salary increments in only two ways-- (1) Experience up to nine years. (2) Advanced graduate study.
Increments for experience should be extended to at least 15 years and salary increments for other professional improvements in addition to advanced graduate study should be added to the schedule.

INSERVICE PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
As part of a program of higher salaries there should be a salary schedule which will give teachers additional recognition, in terms of salary increments, for measured progress.
A planned program of in-service professional growth actually is a part of higher teachers' salaries. However, this program is of such importance that the Committees wish to make a special recommendation.
Our suggestions for a program of in-service professional growth are not in tended to be all inclusive.
However, we do wish to recommend that the State Department of Education consider such factors as the following, as it considers in-service professional growth, as it seeks to provide better teachers, and as it considers teacher pay:
Undergraduate study in the teaching area;
Participation in activities which will broaden and strengthen the teacher's knowledge;
Continued graduate study;
Travel;
Additional duties and responsibilities as a teacher;
Related employment outside the school;
Contribution to education, such as research, professional papers, books articles;
Professional leadership.

2116

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Local school officials should recommend programs which will meet the needs of teachers in their areas, and, after these recommendations, the program of inservice professional growth can be approved by the State Department of Educa tion."

The Joint Committee, re-emphasizes the importance of these recommenda tions. Also see recommendations of Minimum Foundation Program Committee on page 37.

11. Because our people are not only asking for more education but are asking for better education and of a greater variety than ever before, we must plan our educational expenditures in the future on a sound and efficient basis. We, therefore, recommend that the needed educational programs be outlined and a ten-year projection of expenses be made. This projection should include all edu cational expenditures including those on the university level and all related educational programs.

which will give teachers additional recognition, in terms of salary increments, for measured progress.

A planned program of in-service professional growth actually is a part of higher teachers salaries. However, this program is of such importance that the Committees wish to make a special recommendation.

Our suggestion for a program of in-service professional growth are not in tended to be all inclusive.
However, we do wish to recommend that the State Department of Education consider such factors as the following, as it considers in-service professional growth, as it seeks to provide better teachers, and as it considers teacher pay;

Professional leadership.
Local school officials should recommend programs which will meet the needs of teachers in their areas, and, after these recommendations, the program of inservice professional growth can be approved by the State Department of Education.

TEACHER RECRUITMENT
The Committees recommend that the State Department of Education and the Board of Regents intensify a joint recruiting program to provide an adequate supply of teachers, with particular emphasis on recruiting teachers from rural areas who will teach in rural areas.
The Department of Education and the Board of Regents should look to all institutions of higher learning as a source of teachers, even though institutions may not be engaged in formal programs of teacher training, they can be a source of persons qualified to teach. Because of particular study and training in certain of the technical and scientific fields, at the non-teacher training institutions, the persons attending these institutions may be as well qualified as those who have had formal training in schools of education.

2118

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The complaint is made frequently that private industry and business robs the teaching profession of teachers. If the teaching profession itself is made more attractive, the situation may well be reversed. A most positive approach could well show that teachers can be recruited from business and industry. The knowl edge that an individual has gained in a job can be utilized in the classroom. We should look to this possibility and not cut off a vast supply of urgently needed teachers, because of a negative attitude and blind adherence to rule and regula tion.

The committees found that at the present, about 200 students are now being trained as teachers, under the scholarship program which became effective this year.

The committees recommend that the scholarship program be expanded and adequately financed, so that it may provide aid for all qualified young people who need such assistance to become teachers.

TEACHER EDUCATION COUNCIL
We commend the Council for included in its membership representatives from arts and sciences of every higher institution that has programs for the education of teachers. Also, because it has in its membership representatives from the Congress of Parents and Teachers and the Georgia Association of School Board Members.
We recommend that more classroom teachers and additional non-professional representatives be added to the membership of the Council and that adequate funds be made available to it by the Board of Regents and the State Board of Education on a fifty-fifty basis.

STATUS OF TEACHERS
All who have appeared before the Committees have agreed that, as the prestige and status of teachers are raised in the community, as more professional recognition is given, there will be more and more qualified people attracted to the teaching profession, and there will be a decline in the loss of teachers.
The Committee strongly recommends that more emphasis be given to ways of increasing the status of teachers in every possible way.
This can be done through higher salaries, recognition of outstanding per formance, extra salary increments based upon professional achievement, and pro fessional improvement.
The Committees strongly recommend that the teachers be given relief from outside activities not related to teaching.

IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY OF THE PROGRAM OF TEACHER EDUCATION
The Committees recognize the value of learning "how" to teach as well as

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2119

"what" to teach. The Committees found some evidence that requirements for the so-called professional education courses may be excessive. This seems to apply more at the graduate level programs.

We recommend that the State Board of Education and the teacher training institutions reexamine the requirements for professional teaching courses, elimi nate any duplication or overlapping, and unnecessary courses found in these programs.

On the basis of our study, the Committees recommend that more attention be given to study in the content or subject areas in addition to possible curriculum revision of the professional courses.

We note that the State Board of Education has increased the requirements in content or subject courses for graduate studies by teachers. We commend the State Board of Education for taking this action and recommend further study in this area.

There needs to be a realistic approach to the matter of giving proper under graduate or graduate credit for study in the appropriate teaching field. We be lieve that some rules and regulations are not flexible or adaptable and teachers are being deprived of an opportunity to increase their knowledge or ability.

While the six year certificate is an incentive to improve the quality of teach ing, it should not be considered the only method by which a teacher may receive higher salary.
The Committees found that some teacher training institutions have a tendency to stay on the defensive. We recommend that all who are involved in teacher training continue to conduct thorough studies and self-analyses of their pro grams, particularly their curricula in professional education courses and in the content area of the teacher's specializations.

The Committees found that there actually is no one measure to determine whether or not a teacher is competent to teach in a subject area in which he may be certified. Teacher training institutions should add other plans to make certain that a prospective teacher completing a program and ready to be certified is competent in the teaching field for which he will receive a certificate.

METHOD OF PAY
The Joint Committee of 1959 recommended that research be conducted by the State Board of Education and the Board of Regents into a system of career or incentive pay for teachers.
We regret that we found that nothing substantial has been done in this important area. We call your attention to this report:
"A very sizeable part of a teacher salary increase should come through a system of merit and/or incentive pay. The State Board of Education, through the Department of Education and the local school systems, are urged to begin immediately to set up a system of merit and incentive pay. This may well be

combined with a six year professional certificate and the present salary schedule, by giving special consideration for proficiency in content courses in the area of teaching."

FACILITIES
It was evident to the Committees that the facilities in most of our public teacher training institutions are below the standards of the other units at their colleges or universities.
The Committees recommend that the University of Georgia be provided a new building for the College of Education including an adequate department of industrial arts and a department of psychology which will be in keeping with the importance of the profession of teaching. These facilities should be provided immediately.
We recommend that this building be provided with the most modern and up to date equipment and teaching aids.
We recommend also that every other unit within the University System give equal importance to providing adequate, modern facilities for their teacher education units.
If the prestige and status of teachers is to be raised, the facilities at the University and at other institutions within the University System must be equally in keeping with the facilities of other colleges and schools on the same campus.

TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS
Much emphasis is being placed on tests and examinations in all areas in the field of teacher education, both nationwide and in Georgia.
The Committees wish to point out that while tests may be a guide toward improvement, they don't give the whole answer, and should be used with great care.
If the teaching profession is to be upgraded, and is to commend more pro fessional recognition, teachers themselves must be ready to prove their ability by submitting their competence to tests and professional rating, as do lawyers, doctors, engineers, etc.
The Committees believe that such tests as given to teachers to determine their competence should be given as teachers enter the profession, rather than to wait for years and then apply a test to determine whether or not the teacher is competent to do the job he is doing.

CERTIFICATION
The Committees heard a great deal of testimony about certification of teach ers, both from State Department of Education officials responsible for certifica tion, and from individual teachers.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2121

This testimony shows that certification is a broad and complicated area.

We recommend that much additional study be given to certification, both by the State Department of Education, and the appropriate committees of the General Assembly.

Testimony given the Committees shows that there may be errors and abuses in certification.

Several teachers who appeared before the Committees told of difficulty in obtaining proper certification, even though they were obviously well prepared to teach in their fields.

It is evident from the testimony that there should be more flexibility in the area of certification, and that proper procedures and regulations should be established so that a well-qualified person may be able to teach, and is not barred merely because of procedures.

The Committees recommend that the State Department of Education estab lish procedures so that teachers may obtain their certificates without delay since the certificate which the teachers hold determines the pay which the teacher receives.

Therefore, as we have stated elsewhere in these recommendations, we urge that the State Department of Education establish additional methods so that teachers can receive additional pay increments where professional growth or improvements has been attained, and also that additional pay be given for length of service beyond the present 9 year limit.

COOPERATION
The Committees found much evidence that there is a lack of coordination in the various teacher training activities.
It is apparent to the Committees that the State Board of Education, the Board of Regents, the General Assembly, and all teacher training institutions should make every effort to coordinate and improve teacher training activities.
It also is evident that there needs to be more cooperation and understanding between the public institutions of higher learning and the private institutions.
The private colleges and universities should be given every opportunity to make a maximum contribution in the field of teacher training.
The Committees found a lack of cooperation in the teacher training insti tutions between faculty of the colleges of liberal arts and sciences and faculty of the colleges or departments of education: More cooperation and understanding should be attained.

2122

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

FURTHER STUDY

The Committees have conducted an intensive and broad study into teacher education in Georgia.

However, many evidences point up the need of analysis and study of other areas of education.

Some of these are covered in the separate reports by the individual Com mittees, and by sub-committees.

Other require further study.

Therefore, we recommend that the General Assembly at its next session continue its study of education in Georgia, particularly in these areas:

Use of tests.

Expansion and improvement of Junior Colleges.

Expansion and improvement of vocational education.

Distribution of State finances.

Certification.

RECOMMENDATIONS -- 1959
The Joint Committee on Education makes the following recommendations:
TEACHERS
1. As soon as the financial condition of the state permits, salaries of school teachers should be increased.
2. A very sizeable part of a teacher salary increase should come through a system of merit and/or incentive pay. The State Board of Education, through the Department of Education and the local school systems, are urged to begin immediately to set up a system of merit and incentive pay. This may well be combined with a six year professional certificate and the present salary schedule, by giving special consideration for proficiency in content courses in the area of teaching.
3. Since a merit or incentive pay system requires going into new principles of determining teacher remuneration, it is recommended that the University of Georgia conduct research in this area, and that funds be allotted for this purpose.
4. Continuing research should be conducted in the field of public education, below the college level, and a system of disseminating this research be developed.
5. In addition to increasing financial remuneration, other things should be

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2123

done to make teaching more attractive; so that we will have more able young people training to be teachers; so that teachers already trained will continue to teach; and so that we may be able to attract teachers back to the profession, who may have left for jobs in business or industry, or who may have gone to other states. This could include teacher scholarships; credit toward retirement for training and experience in related fields; credit toward certification for training and experience in related fields; credit toward certification and retirement for experience in other systems or other states; more security in position; and more recognition for outstanding performance.
6. The pupil-load per teacher should be reduced. The state now allots over 31,000 teachers for about 900,000 students--One teacher for each 29 students-- yet many teachers now have over 40 students enrolled in their classes.
7. The present teacher education program should be carefully re-studied, with special emphasis on proficiency of the teacher to teach in his or her area of certification.
8. The teacher scholarship program should be financed.
(Note: The recommendations regarding teachers are listed first because the committee feels that the greatest cause of the problems that face us is the lack of a sufficient number of well trained and dedicated teachers, and that the problem cannot be solved until this situation is corrected. When all of our school systems are able to recruit and hold an adequate staff of fully qualified teachers, we will be able to achieve a statewide program of excellent schools.)

STUDENTS
1. The school program, from the elementary school through high school, should put emphasis toward enabling all students to achieve to their maximum capability. In the majority of schools, the program is now geared to the average.
2. The education program should be of wider scope, including a greatly ex panded program of vocational education, so that high school subjects will be taught in high school and college courses will be taught in college. The emphasis is to provide a variety of courses, so that the students individual needs will be met, and so that the slow or non-interested student will not lower the level of the courses for the talented student.
3. An adequate system of testing, qualified guidance, and individual evalua tion should be instituted in every school, in every system, in the state.

COLLEGES
1. There should be more curriculum coordination between the high schools and the colleges.
2. Colleges should provide a more adequate make up program, so that able students who lack academic preparation will be able to enter and succeed in college.

2124

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

ADMINISTRATIVE

1. Administrative defects which exist both on the state and local system level should be corrected.
2. There should be a re-study of the method of distribution of state funds to local systems.
3. We strongly recommend that the State Board of Education and the Georgia High School Association study and correct immediately the situation whereby too much student and teacher time is taken up in extra-curricular activities.

LOCAL EFFORT
1. Local citizens, through their boards of education, should take their part of the responsibility for providing the proper program of education. This should be done through both greater financial contributions, at the local level, and in support of improvement of academic excellence.

EXPANSION
1. Efforts should be made to expand college level opportunities, through junior and senior colleges, in all areas of the state. Local and area vocational schools also should be expanded.

LEGISLATIVE
1. The appropriate legislative committees of the Senate and House, both individually and jointly, should be empowered to keep up to date a legislative study of our state's school system.

RECOMMENDATIONS --1957
I. The State of Georgia undertake at once to make available to the Board of Regents of the University System adequate funds for correcting deficiencies that now exist in institutions under its control, and for increased enrollments, plant expansions, superior faculties, and well-developed programs of necessary public services so that these institutions may be in a position to discharge effectively the varied educational responsibilities that have been placed upon them by the State.
II. The State of Georgia undertake at once to make available in its overall budget an appropriation for the operation of junior or community colleges within the State of Georgia.
III. The Regents of the University System of Georgia be designated as the State agency under whose direction and supervision community or junior colleges may be established and operated.
IV. Authority be made available to any county, counties, independent school system, and other political subdivision, with taxing power within the State of Georgia either singly or in combination with any other such political subdivision,

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2125

for the establishment and operation of two-year community or junior colleges, provided that,
A. The standards, requirements, and criteria prescribed by the Regents of the University System of Georgia shall be complied within a satisfactory and acceptable manner to the Regents.
B. All funds necessary for the State's participation in the operation of any additional junior or community colleges be made available to the Regents of the University System by the General Assembly of Georgia or the State Budget Commission separate from the funds necessary for any regular and current requirements of the existing units of the University System.
C. Funds made available by the General Assembly or the State Budget Commission shall be paid by the Board of Regents to designated, qualified, and approved junior colleges for teaching, instruction, and maintenance purposes on the basis of not less than $300.00 per nine-month academic year for each full-time equivalent student as described and defined by the Regents of the University System of Georgia, with all other costs to be provided by the approved operating agency. This basis for operations is limited to com munity junior colleges operated by a governmental subdivision or subdivisions who have qualified under standards, requirements, and criteria as prescribed by the Regents of the University System of Georgia.
D. All units or agencies of the University System now in existence shall continue to be operated and maintained on the same basis as exists under present laws,
E. The Regents of the University System of Georgia, in setting up requirements and standards for community type junior colleges, consider, but not be limited to, the following criteria:
1. Non-public institutions already providing for educational needs in an area where a petition may be received for the establishment of a community or junior college.
2. Potential enrollment.
3. Adequate financial ability of community or areas requesting the establishment of community or junior colleges.
4. Physical facilities meet standards prescribed by the State Fire Code and by local community requirements.
5. Academic standards and faculties to meet requirements of ac crediting agencies.
6. Operating procedures to meet standard requirements.
V. That any county, counties, or other political subdivision or independent school system with taxing power or any combination thereof desiring to establish a community or junior college under this plan shall first petition the Board of Regents, setting forth the need for such an institution in an area together with evidence of ability and willingness to finance and operate the same locally with the exception of the amount to be contributed by the State on a full-time equivalent student basis.

It is further recommended that legislation be enacted immediately, directed to the establishment of this program.

2126

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

RECOMMENDATIONS -- STATEWIDE ORGANIZATIONS -- 1953

1. Central Accounting for the entire Department with a comptroller directly responsible to the State Board of Education.
2. Personnel of the State Department of Education should be employed by the State Board o'f Education upon the recommendation of the State Superintend ent of Schools. However, in cases where disagreement arise between the State Board of Education and the State Superintendent of Schools concerning the em ploying or retaining personnel, the State Board of Education should have final authority.
3. Number of divisions or work units be reduced so that unity and coordina tion will be functionally insured.

THIS SHOULD HAVE EFFECT OF REDUCING PERSONNEL.
4. Field staff be located in area offices. All supervisory service should be coordinated with not over five or six area offices recommended.
5. Adequate research be established.
6. We recommend that in the reorganization of the Department, all necessary services of the public schools be taken into careful consideration and adequately provided. However, we would like to point out that the chief function of the department is to work with Local Systems in every way possible to produce better programs of study or curricula and better methods of instruction. Therefore, the organization should be of such nature that curriculum development and improve ment of instruction be unified and coordinated. The Department should never lose sight of the fact that all that is done in terms of physical facilities, teachers, finances and the like, has but one purpose and that is to provide better oppor tunities for the development of boys and girls in the public schools.
NOTE: Since this portion of the committee's report was written, it is noted that the State Department of Education is in the process of being reorganized. We wish to commend the proper officials for taking this step.
The committee further recommends:
7. That present laws be clarified, placing the full responsibility for directing the school program in the State of Georgia in the State Board of Education, and that the State School Superintendent be the administrative officer of the Board charged with the full responsibility of carrying out the policies as outlined by the Board.
8. That the General Assembly carefully survey several methods of selecting State Board members with the idea of determining the method that will most likely produce a Board that will express the will of the people in the operation of the state school system.
9. That the State School Superintendent shall be elected by the State Board of Education.
10. That the State Board of Education make a thorough investigation of the State Department of Education with the idea of reducing personnel if it can be accomplished without seriously impairing the efficiency of the educational program.
NOTE: This recommendation is occasioned by the findings of the committee

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2127

which reaveal that during the past ten years the number of employees in the State Department of Education has grown from 120 to 648.
11. That the State Board of Education set up a contract for all professional personnel of local schools that will be binding on the professional personnel as well as on the local board of education.

RECOMMENDATIONS -- LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEMS --1953
1. That the State Constitution be amended so as to allow any county in the State to change the methods of electing Boards of Education and school super intendents upon a referendum to the people.
2. That the Attorney-General of Georgia shall be charged with the respon sibility for prosecuting any local school officer or officers for the misuse of State school funds when such is reported to him by the State Auditor, and that he shall have the authority and shall be charged with the responsibility to sue for recovery of any funds which have been misappropriated.
3. That more rigid budgetary controls be set up by the State over local school expenditures requiring local schools to live within their incomes in order to receive State funds. Monthly budget reports seem advisable.

RECOMMENDATIONS -- TRANSPORTATION -- 1953
I. It is recommended that all existing laws on pupil transportation be repealed.
II. It is recommended that a new all-inclusive pupil transportation law be prepared by the Committee and recommended to the Georgia General Assembly for enactment.
The new law should authorize the State Board of Education to:
A. Determine annually the number of approved buses operating in each school system, and to annually allot necessary funds for their oper ation. Funds allotted to counties based on the number of buses should not exceed fifty per cent of such funds as may be budgeted for trans portation.
B. Allot the remaining portion of State funds for transportation to the counties on a per pupil basis with the amount of funds per pupil varying inversely according to the density of transported pupils.
C. Establish minimum standards with respect to bus schedules and walking distances to schools and to bus routes, which should standardize transportation service to all pupils throughout the State.
D. Establish minimum standards for school bus equipment, such as all-steel bodies, directional lights, safety glass, warning lights for stops, and color of school buses. Adopt annually a multiple list of approved equipment and approved prices for each piece of equipment on a qualitatative purchase basis and furnish this list to local boards of education. Financial arrangements should be provided at the state level to assist counties in the purchase of buses which are county-owned and operated.

2128

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

E. Provide for a minimum amount of property damage and liability insurance for each bus and for each pupil transported to and from school.
F. Establish minimum standards for the qualification of bus drivers.
G. Establish such rules and regulations as may be necessary for the efficient operation of buses and to insure the safety of transported pupils.
H. Provide leadership services to county school officials in main taining a safe and economical program of pupil transportation.

III. The new law should authorize County Boards of Education to:
A. Be made the administrative authority in matters affecting pupil transportation. Each local board of education should be required to establish well-defined policies affecting the safety of children and the operation of buses.
B. Provide pupil transportation by means of county-owned and oper ated buses. Contracts now in force with individuals and/or corporations shall be permissive for a period not to exceed three years from effective date of this act. After the three year following enactment of this law, State funds shall be allotted only for county-owned and operated buses.
C. Expend State and local school funds for pupil transportation.
D. Employ school bus drivers and to annually fix a schedule of salaries.
E. Insure school children riding to and from school against bodily injury or death resulting from accidents.
F. Use written contract for the employment of each bus driver.
G. Transport only school children and school employees to and from public schools, and to and from such other school functions as are ap proved by the local Board of Education.

IV. The new law should authorize the State Department of Public Safety to:
A. Inspect annually all school buses and more often when requested to do so by local school authorities.
B. Establish requirements for licensing of all school bus operators and test each driver for skills in operating a bus prior to the issuance of such a license.
C. Assist State and local school authorities in promoting safe pupil transportation. Encourage and give guidance to the school boy patrol program.
V. The new law itself should provide:
A. A speed limit for school buses.
B. Require all school bus drivers to stop before crossing a railroad track or before entering a highway.
C. That passing motorists stop while children get on and off the buses.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2129

D. Transportation allotments continued as part of the Minimum Foundation Program.

RECOMMENDATIONS -- CURRICULUM -- 1953
1. That more emphasis be placed upon acquiring the basic skills of an educa tion such as the language arts, mathematics, social science, natural science, and the development of creative ability.
2. That vocational education be expanded and become better integrated in the total program of education, and that each pupil shall have the benefit of occupational guidance before completing high school.
3. That participation in extra-curricular activities by individual pupils be more restricted as to time employed and the number of organizations to which an individual may belong, and that high standards be met before allowing par ticipation in interscholastic events of any kind.

JUNIOR COLLEGE DEVELOPMENTS IN A FEW STATES*
In Florida today, there are 25 public junior colleges. Eight were established during the past two years. The state, which is attempting to put two-year campuses within commuting reach of all high school graduates, will open four new junior colleges in the fall of 1962.
Evidence of the success of this program is apparent. Dade County Junior College, which opened for business two years ago, now has enrollment of 3,341 students. Brevard Junior College in Cocoa, Florida, opened two years ago and now has an enrollment of 1,248 students.
In considering growth, junior college people often refer to the "Chipola Index." In 1947 Chipola Junior College was established in Jackson County, Florida. At that time, only seven per cent of the high school graduates in the county enrolled in college. During the past two years, more than half of the high school graduates began college careers -- seven per cent outside the county and the remainder at Chipola Junior College.
Of California's 70 junior colleges, 12 were established in the past ten years. The California colleges enroll 125,000 full-time students, more than % of all the students in the first two years of public higher education in that state. Plans for junior college establishment and expansion in California for the next five years call for the expenditure of $350 million.

BASES FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES, HELD AT CHICAGO, ILLINOIS ON OCTOBER 20-21, 1961

Delegates Attending:
Representative George Busbee, Albany
Representative Robert Cloer, Young Harris
Representative James Paris, Winder
Representative Taylor Phillips, Macon
Representative Thomas Sangster, Vienna (Secretary of Committee) Georgia Educators Attending:
A. J. Brumbaugh, Consultant, Southern Regional Education Board, Atlanta.
Joe Ezell, Asst. Executive Secretary, Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, Atlanta.
Lloyd A. Moll, President, Georgia Southwestern College and member of Com mission on Legislation of American Association of Junior Colleges, Americus.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE
The Committee feels that the Board of Regents is to be commended for recognizing the need for additional junior colleges in the State in recent years. It may have been wise for the Board to establish these newer colleges upon the earlier State-level basis, rather than operate two distinct programs on the junior college level. The newly established colleges have been well located.
However, the Committee feels that there are many complex problems that need to be solved by further study, and a general policy adopted for the creation and operation of this type community college. This Committee is continuing its study of the wealth of information obtained at the Conference in Chicago together with the other material being furnished to the individual members of the Com mittee by the various other states. This Committee will make definite and de tailed findings and recommendations before the next session of the General As sembly concerning the creation of these colleges, and intends to prepare legislation necessary to carry out its recommendations. Copies of these recommendations will be mailed to each member of the General Assembly prior to the next session.

REPORT OF SPECIAL SUB-COMMITTEE ON THE STUDY OF GEORGIA VOCATIONAL EDUCATION 1961 APPOINTED BY REPRESENTATIVE J. BATTLE HALL, CHAIRMAN OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY JOINT COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION RECOMMENDATION NO. 5

This Committee recognizes and strongly believes in, that truth, as set forth in Article 8, Section 1, paragraph 1, of the Constitution of Georgia which says, "It shall be a primary obligation of the State of Georgia to provide an adequate education for the citizens of the State" and that "The expense of such education shall be provided by taxation." We further recognize that an education can no longer be considered adequate at the high school graduate level.

We are aware of the present plans of the State Department of Education in regard to the location and building of 32 Area Trade Schools within the State. We believe that this type of training is important to our State but that the need for such facilities could be limited to some extent by the location of new indus tries within the locality being served. We urge that serious study should be given to the possibility of broadening the educational opportunity of the new schools.

We, therefore, recommend that the General Assembly of Georgia establish a Committee to make a thorough study of the need and feasibility of making avail able advanced academic training above the present high school level in conjunction with the operations of these trade schools, and that such Committee shall work with the State Board of Education and State Board of Regents in studying and determining if some of our higher education needs cannot be met in this way.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2133

In North Carolina the salary schedules for all instructional personnel is much higher than is Georgia's. See North Carolina's salary schedule. Page 18.

In Florida each system has its own salary schedule and the local boards of education have great flexibility in determining the number of teachers to be employed and in setting their salary schedules.

It is very difficult to draw exact comparisons between 3 states. Each offer services not offered by the others. For example: North Carolina has an item for clerical assistants in schools--Florida has a driver training program and Georgia has its rural library program. Except for the building program these extra serv ices will about counterbalance and the comparisons show the general trend in school finance. Both North Carolina and Florida put much more relative emphasis on the salary of the instructional personnel.

It is noted that in Florida several thousand teachers are allotted in addition to the basic units and that in North Carolina all vocational teachers are allotted in addition to basic units thereby giving Florida a much better pupil teacher ratio from grades 1-12 and North Carolina a better high school pupil teacher ratio.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTION (SR 152)
BACKGROUND
For several years the Georgia Association of Colleges, the Georgia Asso ciation of Junior Colleges and the GEA Department of Higher Education have advocated the exemption of the state sales tax on articles not for resale purchased by our private colleges.
The best interests of our state schools and of our eduactional system demand the continued growth of these privately supported colleges, which educate ap proximately one-third of our students in higher education.
Such a tax creates a financial hardship on many institutions. It added to Emory University, for example, as much as $80,000 each year to the cost of operating the institution. For Andrew College, a small church related college in Cuthbert, it added annually $1,650.00. Andrew only charges $795 to educate a student each year. Yet it costs $1,100 to educate each student, not including capital funds.
Cognizant of such facts, Senator Zell Miller introduced a Resolution (SR 152) in the 1962 General Assembly which set up a five man interim committee to study the state tax structure as it relates to private educational institutions.
Lieuenant Governor Garland T. Byrd appoined Senator Miller, Senator A. Sid Newton, Senator G. Ed Perry, Senator Charles F. Warnell, and Senator R. O. Persons, Sr., to the committee.

2134

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

In an early organizational meeting the committee named Senator Miller as Chairman and Senator Newton as Secretary.

On August 16, 1962, after the committee had begun its studies, Governor S. Ernest Vandiver, announced the listing of the sales tax by executive order. Over a hundred educators from throughout the state were present to hear the Chief Executive exempt the private institutions from such a sales tax as of October 1, 1962, as follows:
"Whereas: There are a number of independent colleges and univer sities located within the State of Georgia which are making significant contributions to the cause of higher education in this State; and
"Whereas: These private and independently supported universities and colleges now provide approximately one-third of Georgia's total college enrollment and thereby offer quality education for many thousands of Georgia's finest youth; and
"Whereas: The costs of operating these institutions have increased annually far in excess of their endowments, income from tuition charges and special grants from the federal government; and
"WHEREAS: It has been made to appear to me that these institu tions are confronted with a financial crisis and that their educational pro grams, so essential to the future of this State, are in danger; and
"Whereas: Section 40-205 of the Code of Georgia provides that the Governor of the State may suspend collection of taxes or any part thereof, due the State until the next meeting of the General Assembly but no longer; it is therefore
"Ordered: That effective October 1, 1962, the collection of the tax imposed by the Georgia Retailers' and Consumers' Sales and Use Tax Act on purchases and leases of tangible personal property and services ex clusively for educational purposes by those Georgia schools of college grade level only, the academic credits of which are accepted as equivalents by the educational units of the University System of Georgia, where it is de termined that the University System of Georgia enjoys immunity from such taxes, be suspended until the next meeting of the General Assembly of Georgia.
"This 25th day of September, 1962.
/s/ S. Ernest Vandiver Governor."

Realizing that this order would have to be confirmed by the next legislature, our committee continued its studies for what we hope will be a useful report to the General Assembly.

FINDINGS OF THE COMMITTEE
The privately supported schools are a vital and essential part of the American higher education system. The best interest of our state schools, and of our educa tional system, demands that these privately supported schools continue and grow.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2135

These privately supported schools take a great load off our state schools, and thereby the tax payer. A careful study made a few years ago showed that, on the average, every student in the tax-supported schools cost the state $850. Therefore, the private colleges save the state that much for each young Gorgian they train. Any reasonable move to enable the privately supported schools to maintain or increase enrollment is an economic gain for the state and the tax payer. The tax-supported colleges are hard pressed for funds to offer satisfactory programs for the students they now have; so we need to encourage those citizens who are willing to send their children to privately supported schools.

If the private colleges and universities did not pay sales tax, those amounts
could be put into programs of the institutions for continuing educational im provements to be carried ultimately through the state. For instance, a college which spends $20,000 annually, could take that money and divide it into average college.

The money could also be used to pay better salaries to faculty members. The private colleges constantly lose professors to the state schools because they can pay better salaries. That actually puts the private schools in the position of paying a tax to support the state schools so that they can outbid the private ones for competent faculty.

Moreover, the independent colleges are borrowing funds from the United States Government with which to erect buildings that will alleviate the crowded campus conditions, but in doing so the independent schools must pay a toll to the state government out of funds borrowed from the national government. The state schools, on the other hand, are erecting buildings on funds borrowed from the federal government without having to pay the sales tax.

A major source of support for our private colleges is gifts. By state and federal law, these gifts are tax-free; that is to say a donor is relieved of paying income tax on gifts he makes to colleges. But when we levy a sales tax on the purchases made by these colleges as they use these gifts, we are subjecting the gifts to taxation.

Since the state tax-supported colleges are not required to pay sales tax, levy of the tax on the gift-supported schools is a discrimination against them. It makes library books and laboratory supplies, for example, cost more at the privately supported schools.

In conclusion, it is our opinion that the beneficiaries of this proposed ex emption would actually be the students, their parents and the state at large. Elimination of this tax would help achieve either or both of two objectives: reduce some college costs, and enable the college to improve and increase the extent and quality of the educational program.

We recommend that Governor Vandiver's order be ratified, approved and confirmed.

Zell Miller, Chairman A. Sid Newton, Secretary

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

REPORT OF SENATE EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS COMMITTEE (Senate Resolution 153 -- 1962 Session)

INTRODUCTION:

Pursuant to Senate Resolution Number 153 of the 1962 Session of the General Assembly, the Educational Rights Committee, which was created by Senate Reso lution Number 51 of the 1961 Session, continued its study of laws relative to education, with particular emphasis on the Statutes enacted at the 1961 Session known as the "Governor's Package Plan" for schools.

The members of the Committee are as follows: Senator Dan F. Hart, 53rd District, Chairman; Senator James M. Dykes, 14th District, Vice Chairman; Sen ator W. C. Long, 3rd District, Secretary; Senator Tom Veazey, 19th District, Attorney; and Senator Edgar D. Clary, Jr., 29th District, Treasurer.

FINDINGS, REMARKS, RECOMMENDATIONS
The Committee gave extended study to the 1962 Primary and General Elec tions in Georgia to determine how a majority of Georgians voted on certain issues so the Committee could make a more complete report.
The Lieutenant Governor's race in the Primary Election was closely studied primarily because the lines of Moderate-Liberal versus Conservative were more clearly drawn in this race and the Committee findings show Conservative by an overwhelming majority.
The Committee gave extended study to the proposed Constitutional Amend ment No. 1, in the General Election and which was ratified by a great majority of the people of Georgia.
The Committee study shows that this Amendment was overwhelmingly ratified by the people without any leadership support, and without any support or explanation from the big metropolitan Daily papers.
The Committee reports that the expressed purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to give the school children of this State some freedom of choice and freedom of association for better education appreciation and the only Statute on the law books today which can carry out this expressed purpose and desire of the people is the Tuition Grant Law.
The Committee has reason to believe that there will be some propaganda and that certain Minority groups will make every effort to deny our school children any freedom of choice whatsoever, by continually attacting the Tuition Grant Law which is the only law now standing in their way.
The Committee feels that attacting of the Tuition Grant Law by propaganda methods and by Minority groups will be for the purpose of getting the law amend ed so it would be ineffective and also to put adverse pressure on our State School Board who are charged with implementing this law.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2137

The State of Virginia has had in effect for several years a Tuition Grant Law. The Amendments to the Georgia Law, which were adopted in 1962, are patterned to a large degree after this Virginia Statute. This law has worked remarkably well in Virginia and has not affected the program of public educa tion as some people had claimed it would. The Committee's recent study of the situation in Virginia has served to strengthen the opinion of the members of this Committee that the Georgia Tuition Grant Law fully implemented will not only carry out the wishes of the great majority of the people, but will be in the best interest of the public education program for all our children.

The Committee urges all State and local officials to support to the greatest degree the desires of the people for better educational opportunities for Georgia's children by supporting the Tuition Grant Law and the provisions of the Consti tutional Amendment referred to hereinbefore.

Respectfully submitted: Dan F. Hart, 53rd, Chairman James M. Dykes, 14th, V.-Chairman W. C. Long, 3rd, Secretary Tom Veazey, 19th, Attorney Edgar D. Clary, Jr., 29th, Treasurer

REPORT ON FORESTRY AND ALLIED PRODUCTS
This report will cover most segments of Georgia's forestry products, es pecially lumber, which is the most distressed product in the industry.
Georgia has more than 196,000 landowners, therefore it is economically important to many citizens of Georgia and the revenue of the state to keep the forest industry abreast of the fast-changing times.
Lumber production in Georgia was off last, year approximately 14 million dollars in stumpage sales. This decrease cost the state in tax revenue alone approximately one-half million dollars per year. Practically all of this loss was in lumber with a small amount in poles and piling. The above figures were obtained from a field survey of Georgia industry.
The total land area in Georgia is 37,382,700 acres; 25,772,200 acres of this is commercial forest land which produced in 1960 from forest based industries an output value of 956 million dollars. This industry ranked third in the state, only out-ranked by textiles and food manufacturing.
Forest industries furnish employment to over 36,500 employees. This does not include employees in retail establishments, woodyards and wholesalers handling forest products.
The field survey shows a decline in lumber employment and production starting about 1953 and continuing to the present. This decline is caused by

2138

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

competition from West Coast woods and mechanization in the industry. Should this decline be allowed to continue it will place a large amount of common labor on Georgia's already heavy-laden common labor market. Jobs for this type of labor are becoming more difficult to secure, therefore this places a further burden on the taxpayer.

Should the lumber segment of the forest industry cease to exist it would reduce the price of saw timber to its next competitor which would be approxi mately a 30 % cut in price of this size tree.

In the field survey of the state, it was found that in some areas where there was not a local market for saw timber or pulpwood, the price on wood was as much as 50% lower than in areas where there was a local market for these products. This shows the importance of maintaining markets for lumber and allied products.

There has been many drastic changes in the lumber industry in the past twelve years. Cost has constantly increased in equipment, labor and raw material. This forced the industry to purchase costly equipment to utilize waste and mech anize their plants as much as possible. This change in operation has reduced the number of mills from approximately 2,900 to 520, eliminating practically all small mills and some large ones.

This reduced the number of mills in Georgia approximately 80%, but the volume of lumber was only reduced approximately 30% due to the fact that the remaining mills mechanized and increased their volume. During this period the number of mills producing 10 million or more board feet per year increased from five to twenty. These twenty mills now produce 23% of the state's total volume.

Due to economic conditions and technical advances, the majority of the mills cutting pine timber have installed chipping equipment and are selling their waste material to the pulp mills. This utilization program of waste material makes it economically possible for some to continue operation. Also, this has practically eliminated the burning of slabs and waste at the mills.

During this drastic change, the industry lost its sales and advertisement program and also its contact with various state agencies and its education, both in the schools and to the public.
Lumber is still the desirable building product in Georgia, but a large per centage of it is now being furnished from the West. Our own state government is purchasing a large quantity of this competitive wood, which is not superior in most cases to Southern Pine.
The Georgia school building program virtually excluded Georgia Southern Pine and Hardwood in their school construction program, when it could have been used to construct as good or better facility. In many counties the forest industry is responsible for the economic well-being of the majority of families having children attending those schools. This is not true of the schools that have been constructed in the forest areas on the West Coast.

The Georgia Forestry Commission has excelled in leading Georgia to be the

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2139

number one forestry state in forest growth and importance. The state, county and municipal governments should and must lead the way in utilizing wood where feasible in public projects and contracts to help give it the proper place in Georgia's industrial economy.

(Did you notice the stadium seats at your last two or three college games, chances are they were West Coast wood.) Treated Southern Pine is cheaper and better for this job.

Not one plant checked in this survey showed a fair return on its investment. This problem is acute and if some attention is not given it immediately, it will prove to be very costly to the state. If it had been attacked some six or seven years ago, it could have saved Georgia and its citizens millions of dollars. How ever, this economic problem can be rectified with proper attention.

Georgia has a law at present that very few departments of state govern ment know exist. It is Georgia Law 1937, P. 503 at P. 511, Section 11, which is quoted.
"Section 11. It shall be the duty of the Supervisor of Purchases in the purchase of and in contracting for any supplies, materials, and equipment and/or printing to give preference as far as may be reasonable and prac ticable to such materials, supplies, equipment and/or printing as may be manufactured or produced in the State of Georgia. It being the intention of this section to use in so far as is practicable Georgia products and/or Georgia labor; Provided, however, that in giving such preference no sacrifice or loss in price or quality should be permitted, and provided further that preference in all cases shall be given to surplus products or articles produced and/or manufactured by other State departments, insti tutions or agencies which are available for distribution."
This law should be amended or rewritten so that some teeth can be inserted in it and to extend it to cover all state contracts. This would not only be of great assistance to the lumber industry but also to our labor market.
I wish to make the following recommendations based on the findings of this survey.
1. That the General Assembly amend or enact new law to strengthen Georgia Law 1937, P. 503 at P. 511, Section 11, so that all state departments will strictly abide by it. Other states are using such laws to a good advantage and if Georgia does not, then our industries and labor are being placed in a discrimina tory position.
2. That the Forestry Commission and the Department of Commerce ar range a meeting with the Board of Regents and see if a better course can be taught to the architectural engineering classes at Georgia Tech on the use and properties of Georgia Southern Pine and Hardwood lumber, both treated and untreated.
3. That the Forestry Commission and the Department of Commerce arrange a meeting with John L. Fulmer, Ph. D., at Georgia Tech School of Industrial Management; five or more forest landowners and five or more lumber producers to discuss the cost of raw materials to the mills and study ways to better compete with West Coast wood.

2140

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

4. That the Lieutenant Governor along with the Speaker of the House appoint one member of the Senate and House familiar with the lumber industry to attend these meetings and assist in the drafting of the law recommended above.
5. That the Department of Commerce work with the industry to assist in putting together some type of association that the two may give Georgia's third largest industry better public relations, advise the public as to the importance of the industry, assist it in a sales program and ask the news media to give it more favorable coverage when possible.

REPORT OF 1961-62 MEETING OF THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES FOREST FIRE COMPACT COMMISSION
November 30, 1962
The Compact Commission consists of the following states:
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Mississippi.
The purpose of the Compact is to make available to each member state assistance in case of a forest fire or fires to great for them to handle with their equipment. The Compact is well organized and functioning well with all member states both interested and enthused. The Compact has an annual meeting and committee meetings as they are required during the year.
Georgia has five members that represent the state in the Compact. At prsent they are Ray Shirley, Director of the Georgia Forestry Commission; O. D. Johnson, Georgia Senate; John Sheffield, Georgia House of Representatives; Downing Musgrove, representing forest products and William Lies, Jr., repre senting timberland owners. The Director is automatically a member of the Com pact. The representative for the Senate is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, representative for the House by the Speaker of the House and the other two members by the Governor.
Georgia's participation in this Compact was created by Georgia law enacted in 1953, November and December session, Page 49. The Compact works out many problems at its meetings. Some of these are: equipment cost, control of equip ment and personnel when called, who is responsible in case of accident to personnel and equipment, standardizing of hose couplings so that each state's hose and pumps can be coupled up, radio band that all planes and ground crews can use, who shall be in charge of what at the fires, type of fires that might be en countered and briefing personnel of each state on various types of terrain that could be encountered.
Each state files an annual report on the number of fires, amount of acres burned per fire, total acres burned, number of arrests for unlawful burning and number of convictions and acquittals.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2141

Georgia had the most outstanding report and I wish to commend The For estry Commission and Ray Shirley for making this possible.
The Compact is well organized and ready for service. Ray Shirley was elected President for the ensuing year.
I wish to make the following recommendation. When Georgia is selected again to be the host state for the Compact meeting that the Forestry Commission notify the Department of Commerce and work out a program to welcome the Compact members and extend Georgia's thanks and hospitality to them.
A copy of the agenda of the November 29, 1962 meeting is attached. It lists the important problems that were expedited.

SUMMARY OF REPORT

A. ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF COMMITTEE

In the period of approximately two years, the present Senate Government Operations Committee, which terminates in January 1963, has contributed im portantly to the future growth and prosperity of the State, to the welfare of its citizens, and to more effective local government.

FIRST ... It has secured a grant of $96,000 from the Area Redevelopment

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2143

Administration to expand research on peach by-products, with a $500,000 Ford Technology Center at Experiment, Georgia, pending.

SECOND . . . The committee's information on the problems of the peach industry, with recommendations for solution of the problems, was important in assisting the peach growers of Georgia to organize under the Commodities Promotion Act of 1961, thus effectuating a better marketing program for Georgia peaches.

THIRD . . . The Committee worked through appropriate Georgia represent atives to obtain $500,000 for a greatly expanded Federal Horticultural Labora tory at Fort Valley, Georgia, which will investigate:
(a.) Longevity of peach trees
(b.) More desirable varieties of peaches for commercial purposes
(c.) The processing of pecans and peanuts

FOURTH . . . The Senate Government Operations Committee gathered in formation on the importance, requirements, government and operation of a Police Academy for Georgia. It then formulated a Bill, based on these findings, and incorporated the most highly recommended provisions in this Bill. The Bill was introduced into the Senate and the Committee helped get this legislation enacted by the Senate Legislature. Over time, the Academy is expected to greatly up-grade officers of the law, to increase their pride of profession, and to give the State a first class type of law enforcement. This will be reflected also in improved public relations on the part of officers of the law which may be expected to redound to the benefit of the State's tourist business.

AND FIFTH . . . The Committee participated in hearings on legislative reapportionment and helped greatly in getting legislation enacted which will apparently meet Court requirements that one house of the legislature be pro portionate to population.

B. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Senate Internal Operations.
THIS COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING AS A MEANS OF FACILITATING INTERNAL OPERATIONS OF THE STATE:
(a.) The purchase of one Zerox achine and one IBM Executive Type writer with paper ribbon to use in the Senate offices to improve and expedite the duplication of daily Senate calendars and status sheets during sessions. This will permit the office of the Secretary of the Senate to furnish copies of Bills and other printed matter to senators at any time during the year.
(b.) The Secretary of the Senate be authorized to employ personnel to operate the aforementioned equipment in the most economical manner.
(c.) The Secretary of the Senate and his proper aides work in con junction with the Clerk of the House and his personal associates to de termine if the Senate should prepare its own composite status or cooperate with the House on same.

2144

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

(d.) The Secretary of the Senate prepare a daily status sheet similar to the one used by the Clerk of the House.
(e.) The President Pro Tern and the Floor Leader of the Senate be provided with proper office space to conduct their business, with sufficient personnel to assist them.
(f.) The Senate retain a person fully qualified to operate expertly the present sound system in the Senate at all times while the Senate is in session.
(g.) The acoustic expert operating the sound equipment in the Senate be authorized to obtain any additional sound absorbers or equip ment necessary to control the sound in a proper manner.
(h.) The Secretary of the Senate confer with the appropriate State authorities in an effort to regulate the temperature in the Senate Chamber in such a manner that it will be best suited for the comfort of the members, avoiding either an over-heated or urder-heated Senate Chamber.
(i.) The Secretary of State make provisions for a sandwich and milk bar on the third floor of the Capitol when the Georgia Assembly is in ses sion. This is necessary in order to expedite the business of the Senate and House when they are in session and do not have time to leave the floor to obtain lunch.
(j.) The desk of the Secretary of the Senate located on the rostrum be equipped with adequate locks and keys so that important papers left there overnight will be properly safeguarded.

2. EXPANSION OF RESEARCH FUNCTIONS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S OFFICE.

Legislative Committees are an absolute necessity to the effectiveness of the State Legislature. A complex, rapidly changing science and technology, rapid pop ulation growth and urbanization and the attendant problems complicate the legis lative function. In order that the State go forward rapidly and prosper, change must be adequately assessed in committee deliberations and reflected in legislative acts and appropriations. No legislative Committee can operate without informa tion and pertinent facts, based on fact-finding, hearings, and special investiga tions.

This Committee in the interest of committee efficiency and proper State pro gress, therefore recommends that Research Facilities of the Present Office of the Counsel be expanded to meet the needs of the Legislative Committees. The func tion of this Service shall be provision of research and necessary fact-finding by experts in support of the work of the various legislative committees.

I. INTRODUCTION.

The age in which we live is a fast changing one and is subject to stresses and strains. Population growth is speeding up in Georgia with increased concentra tion of people in the State's larger cities. A few counties, mainly those near large cities such as Albany, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and Savannah, or along the Coastal area of Georgia, are showing the greatest growth. While there is a tendency for population growth to be confined to a few cities and counties in

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2146

Georgia, more than two-thirds of the State's counties are suffering population decline, some quite sharp. Large population centers suffer from traffic conges tion, poverty, and a high crime rate.

But even more cataclysmic than population shifts in the pace of change in science and technology which affects most profoundly people, their institutions and their way of life. Scientists estimate that the scope of human knowledge has doubled in the last decade or so. This means that since Hiroshima, or in even a shorter time span, human knowledge, for good or bad, has advanced as far as it had in all previous history, i.e., several thousand years. Changing science and technology brings serious impacts on industry and commerce, methods of trans portation, education and educational institutions, community and social organiza tion, and on forms of government.

A legislative body is regarded by the public in terms of its law making and appropriations functions. But any change in a law, any increase or decrease in appropriations, and new enactments particularly, require study and deliberation. So many and so complex are the changes, that a legislative body can hope to ac complish hardly more than a fraction of what needs to be done in one session. Public pressure slows down the legislative process of course, but a deliberative body is inherently slow in arriving at legislative enactments. This problem is met in part by legislative committees which can specialize and spend more time study ing any given problem. A committee can hold hearings, issue studies, prepare bills for legislative action, and support their enactment on the floor of the Senate. Committees are therefore in the interest of faster legislative action. They can better reflect in proposed legislation the social, population, industrial, and tech nological changes as they affect legislative enactments, appropriations, new agencies of government created, and old agencies abolished or revamped. In fact, the efficacy, the efficiency, and the responsiveness of the entire govermental pro cess depends upon legislative committees and how effectively they operate.

The Senate Government Operations Committee is a Standing Committee of the Georgia State Senate. It is reconstituted with each new Senate. The present committee therefore came into being in January 1961 in the normal two-year cycle of the Senate. It expires with the beginning of the next legislature which takes control January 1963.

In appointing the members of the Senate Government Operations Committee, Lt. Governor Garland Byrd specified that the Committee continue to give over-all attention to problems affecting the economic development of the State, with speci fic reference to: (1) A Police Academy, and (2) Peach Processing.

The members of the Senate appointed to this committee were: Senator J. W. Claxton, 21st District, chairman Senator W. T. Jones, 23rd District Senator Sam W. Gardner, Jr., 47th District Senator Harry C. Jackson, 24th District Senator William Malcolm Towson, 16th District

In the Spring of 1962, Senator J. W. Claxton resigned to accept a position on

2146

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

the Pardon and Parole Board, and Senator 0. D. Johnson, 46th District, was ap pointed to fill the vacancy. At the same time, Senator Towson assumed the chair manship of the committee.

II. OPERATING METHODS OF THE COMMITTEE.
The Committee during the period concerned by the report employed four methods of data gathering and fact-finding: (1) Investigations, (2) Hearings, (3) Committee Deliberations, and (4) Legal and/or Research Consultants. Inves tigations included on-the-spot visits and inspections, and correspondence through the mail. On-the-spot investigations were employed both with the Peach Process ing Project and the Police Academy. Two members of the Committee went with a group from the Georgia Department of Agriculture, University of Georgia Extension Service, and Peach Growers to study the very extensive and wellorganized peach industry in California. Several packing sheds, canneries, coopera tive exchanges, and dehydrators, as well as the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market, were visited over a five day period. In Los Angeles, two chain store buyers of fresh produce were conferred with and a few specific stores in the city were visited in order to learn about produce displays, storage and pricing methods. In similar fashion, the operation of the Police Academy of Lexington, Ky., was studied by a member of the Senate Government Operations Committee. Data on the New York Municipal Police Training Council Program were obtained by the Committee's Legal Counsel.

Hearings on the Police Academy were held in Atlanta on May 15 (Organiza tional meeting of the Committee), June 2, June 23, and October 11, all in 1961. Except for the organizational meeting, experts from various state and private organizations gave information and offered suggestions.

Informal meetings of the Committee were also a method of digesting informa tion, taking stock, and determining the next steps. Often at these informal sessions, research experts would be invited to appear with data, reports, and samples. Drs. King, Woodroof, and several others from the University of Georgia, College of Agriculture, appeared with samples of various peach products in a December 1961 meeting. Research consultants appeared at the Conference in Athens, Georgia, November 20, 1961, to tell about research in progress on peaches, its status, and the research needs of peaches and peach products. In connection with the peach processing project, Dr. John L. Fulmer, Professor of Industrial Management, Georgia Tech, was retained as consultant to prepare a report on the California studies,1 and also on the Peach Research Conference 2 at Athens, November 20, 1961. Mr. Frank Edwards was retained as Legal Counsel and Mr. Ed I. Bernd, as consultant on the Police Academy program.

III. COMMITTEE PROJECTS.
A. Peach Processing.
1. Problems of the Georgia Peach Industry.
The expansion of the peach industry in Georgia is not keeping pace with population growth by a large margin. From 1920 to 1960, Georgia's population increased 37 percent, but output of peaches, often experiencing many lean years in the 1950's, was scarcely above the 1920 level.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2147

Comparisons on the basis of total population ignore urban population growth where the demand exists for high grade peaches at a good price. On this basis we find that in the 40-year period from 1920 to 1960, urban population in the United States increased 125 percent, or about two and a half times the growth in total population. Georgia's urban population during the period increased 200 percent, and the State now boasts of a city of one million. The striking change in the national and state urban population compared to a significantly smaller increase in the peach crop points up the problem of selling and marketing peaches through out the country.

In the South other competitors with Georgia during part of its peach sea son are South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and Arkansas. However, it appears that most of these states except South Carolina and Arkansas have been declining in peach output for a number of years. Tennessee and Missis sippi in particular have had a sharp decline.

The following tabulation gives a statistical picture of peach production trends for some of these states compared to national production:

x The value of the Peach Crop was 8.5 million dollars. Between years it varies from 8 to 12 million dollars.

By and large marketing methods employed in Georgia are those which have prevailed for many years. This runs contrary to a whole new set of attitudes and motivations of consumers brought on by radio and television. The housewives of this country have been moving rapidly toward the fairly expensive pre-prepared, pre-cooked, and other packing forms which favor labor saving and quickness of preparation in the kitchen. On the other hand despite growth of local markets in numbers and purchasing power, Georgia peach growers have done little to cultivate or develop a considerable potential volume relative to 2,000,000 urban consumers in Georgia.

Furthermore, there are problems created by low quality, sub-standard peaches, since great quantities of substandard peaches (Sizes below No. 1's) are not effectively kept out of the local markets for peaches in the Georgia area. The Peach Commission is moving in this direction.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

2. INVESTIGATION OP PEACH INDUSTRY IN OTHER AREAS

Senators Claxton and Jones along with experts from the Georgia Department of Agriculture, University of Georgia Extension Service and prominent peach growers from Georgia visited the main peach growing and processing areas of California between July 23 and 29, 1961, for an investigation of the very suc cessful and highly regarded California peach industry. 1 It was studied from the farm through each stage of marketing onto shelves in retail stores. The group inspected farms and plants, and questioned managers, researchers and marketers in numerous establishments during a five-day, hot, grueling period in the sum mer of 1961. We learned that farmers are better organized, research is broader and more extensive, packing and marketing are under marketing orders as to quality, and sizeable amounts of money are spent on market promotion. Through dehydration, canning and other methods (dumping with a detergent), substand ard peaches and culls are kept from the market. Through high quality produce, market development and promotion, the large California markets at Los Angeles and San Francisco are being cultivated as exclusive home markets. This is a re versal of attitude on the part of farmers during the last fifteen years. Prior to that time, low quality peaches were dumped on the home markets.

Relative to the investigation of the consumer pack at Hancock, Maryland, and research projects in Washington, D.C., Senator Jones accompanied by Mr. Edgar Duke, President of the Peach Association, and a research consultant to the group, visited Hancock, Maryland, August 30, to view a demonstration of packing in consumer packages from the Dillon orchards. Eight consumer type packs were being employed, providing for packages of peaches varying from 3 to 24 peaches. Prior to packing the peaches were washed, hydro-cooled, defuzzed, and graded as to size. The packs and wrap-over materials were supplied by Diamond Na tional Corporation and the Reynolds Metals Company.

Consulations were held September 1-2 with Senator Russell's office and also with research personnel in the U. S. Department of Agriculture relative to an enlarged program of research. The representative learned that any enlargement of the program would have to clear through the normal budgeting channels of the Federal government. Experts suggested that a first step to obtaining an enlarged program of research would be a stock-taking session to learn the needs of addi tional research in the peach industry. This was subsequently conducted at Athens, Georgia, November 20, 1961.
The two reports which resulted from the field investigations, the Washing ton Conference, and the Athens research discussion and review have been cited above.

3. SOLUTIONS RECOMMENDED BY SENATE GOVERNMENT OPERA TIONS COMMITTEE.
First, remedies of immediate application: Begin development of Georgia market demands for peaches by (1) upgrading quality shipped to Georgia markets; (2) advertising and promotion of Georgia peaches in the larger urban cities of

Georgia; (3) apply strenuous efforts to establish firm marketing relationships with chain buyers in Atlanta and elsewhere; (4) provide merchandising assist ance to chain buyers to push Georgia peaches into consuming channels in Georgia and nearby states; (5) ihiprove marketing relationships with market outlets out side the South; (6) remove substandard grades from farms by dehydration or other processes; and (7) upgrade the quality of peaches from orchards by hydrocooling.

Second, short term research proposals designed to solve some urgent pro duction and marketing problems: (1) experiment with the fancy pack; (2) market test a consumer's package with No. 1 Extras; and (3) promotion of consumer use of peach by-products.

Third, research recommendations designed to make the Georgia peach industry progressively more prosperous over the long run. These are: (1) Measurement of marketing potentials for fresh Georgia peaches; (2) determine the potentials for processing raw peaches into a manufactured product; (3) on the production side, research on quality up-grading of Georgia peach orchards in order to better meet potential demands of the future; and (4) technological re search into development of by-product uses for peaches.

The most promising by-product from peaches, according to Dr. J. G. Woodroof, Experiment, Georgia, is a peach concentrate. This has been accepted by a large Atlanta manufacturer as a stock for wine. The management of this plant is planning to go to full scale production. One national concern is consider ing mixing peach and orange concentrates for a breakfast drink. Peach concen trate is also widely used in the making of ice cream.

4. ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

Three major accomplishments for peaches can already be attributed to the Committee. First, the Area Redevelopment Administration has made a grant of $96,000 to Dr. J. G. Woodroof for stepped up research on the peach concentrate and other peach by-products. This is a direct result of application to ARA for a grant by the Georgia Department of Commerce, with materials and research reports to accompany the application supplied by the Committee. 1 In support of the grant for personnel is the contemplated Food Technology Center at Experi ment, Georgia. Advance planning, including necessary design and blue print lay out, provides working space and necessary equipment at an estimated cost of $500,000.

The second accomplishment is that Georgia Peach growers organized in April 1962 under the Commodity Promotion Act of 1961, into a Peach Com mission. Under its authority, farmers tax themselves to support advertising and research. The overall program adopted by the Commission comprises four areas: quality control, research, education, and promotion.

The third achievement of the Committee is an appropriation of $500,000 by the Federal government to enlarge the Fort Valley research on peach varieties

into a comprehensive horticultural laboratory. This laboratory will investigate factors affecting longevity of peach trees, and will expand the work on plant breeding to find more suitable commercial varieties of peaches. It will also inves tigate problems involved in the processing of pecans and peanuts.

B. POLICE ACADEMY.
1. Nature of the Problem.
There are an estimated 10,000 police officers, drawing pay ranging generally from $250 to $350 per month. Many hold elective office or are sometimes appointed without any specific qualifications. Some don't even know the proper care and handling of firearms. Public relations is a very important qualification for police officers, yet this characteristic is generally lacking. The attitude of an arresting officer has a vital effect on the public impression of the police and certainly tourists could be offended to the damage of the public image by poor behavior on the part of officers of the law. With low pay and sometimes operating under an inferiority complex from lack of knowledge, receiving often the hostility of the public, the tendency is for low morale among police officers, accompanied by "lack of pride in the profession."

Many of these points are vividly illustrated by a letter to Lt. Governor Byrd from Mr. Salvant of the Atlanta Police Department. Extracts of this letter are given below:
It is the opinion of renowned police administrators across the country that the all-important first step in acquiring a good policeman is selection. We must have dedicated men whose background is extensively investigated. Men who can pass tough physical and mental tests, and who are com pletely honest and incorruptible. They must be level-headed and possess a large amount of good old common sense. (These attributes will help the officer who has about ten seconds to make an on-the-spot decision as to an arrest or how much force he may use, only to have the case appealed all the way to the Supreme Court where these learned gentlemen will take five days to arrive at a 5-4 decision on whether the poor jerk was right or wrong.)
Next is training. With this fine raw material, the experienced police instructor must, in a few short weeks, produce a man that John Q. Public will accept and welcome to the community. The fledgling policeman must learn laws and ordinances; when he is permitted to arrest, search or seize; what types of evidence are admissible in court; first aid to the injured; how to fire his weapon from the shoulder or the hip quickly and accurately, and with either hand; and a myriad of other subjects which he keeps neatly indexed in his notebook, ready for weekly inspection.
Next is supervision. This of course begins the day he is sworn in. It will continue throughout his career, but it is most pronounced during the probationary period, which may be from six months to a year. Several methods are used by different large departments, and each seems to have its merits and its drawbacks.
Last of the "Big four" is public relations. No matter how well a police department does its job, and regardless of a reduction in crime or traffic deaths, if the public does not like the methods employed by the police in achieving these ends, bad public relations will be the result.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

Last year I had to travel almost 500 miles to the University of Louis ville, Kentuncy, to attend the Southern Police Institute. I gained a great deal of knowledge while there, but I've often wondered why the metropoli tan Atlanta area couldn't have the same type of institution on one of its college campuses.
--Extracted from letter addressed to Lt. Governor Garland Byrd, by Mr. S. L. Salvant, Jr., Sgt., Training Division, Atlanta Police Department, Atlanta, Georgia.
Rapid population growth in Georgia, concentrated at a few points, has led to traffic congestion and rise in crime rates, leading to increased demand for police protection and law enforcement. These pressures will grow.

2. INVESTIGATIONS.
In preparation for legislation on the Police Academy, the Committee re lied primarily on Hearings. These were supplemented with information collected by a visit by one member of the Committee to the Police Academy of Lexington, Ky. Information on the operation of the Lexington, Ky., Police Academy was obtained through conferences with personnel in charge of the training. In ad dition, several important publications, cited at the end, were obtained on the Municipal Police Training Council Program for New York, and other data were obtained from Mr. Orrell York, Executive Director of the New York Police Academy. The most significant conclusions from Mr. York's letter to Legal Counsel Edwards are given below:
The concept of mandating a statewide police training program has been questioned in many other states where it is feared that opposition might result from the groups who hold that this is an invasion of home rule rights. However, we have found in our program, which retains the highest possible degree of local autonomy and a minimum of state au thority, that there has been practically no opposition to the provision in state law that police officers must satisfactorily complete a basic train ing course in order to retain their permanent status as police officers.
A very modest eighty-hour minimum course has been required of all newly-appointed officers. The mandated program, which went into opera tion on July 1, 1960, is now nearly one year old. We are pleased to report that as of this date, thirty-eight basic training schools have been com pleted or are in progress. Upon the completion of these schools, approxi mately nine hundred police officers will have received their basic training. This does not include the trainees from the New York City Police Depart ment or the New York State Police, both being exempted from our pro gram. Schools have been available to new officers in every area of the State, this being accomplished with a minimum of travel or absence from duty on the part of the trainees.
Our Council has not yet entered the field of in-service training for the reason that it is deemed advisable to gain sufficient experience with the basic program prior to any expansion. It is entirely possible that we may become involved in the in-service type of training in the future; patterned somewhat along the same lines as followed in our basic program.

Main reliance, however, was placed on expert opinion provided in three

2152

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Hearings, dated June 2, June 23, and October 11, 1961. At the June 2, 1961, hearing, such experts appeared as Cols. Trotter and Conner of the State De partment of Safety, Mr. McCallum, President, Peace Officers' Association, and Mr. W. M. Hicks, Director, Vocational Training, Georgia Department of Edu cation. At the June 23, 1961 Hearing, in addition to Col. Trotter, there were also present, Mr. Elmer George, Executive Director, Georgia Municipal Association, and Mrs. Hill Healan, Executive Director, Association of County Commissioners. The legal council from the Georgia Muncipal Association presented the follow ing recommendations:
The Georgia Municipal Association has not adopted any specific policy in regard to a State Police Academy, and the remarks of our representa tive here today are based on our own experience in talking with members of the Association and in accord with general policy.
First, the importance of good law enforcement to the towns and cities of our State cannot be overstated.
The primary purposes of any municipality are the protection of life and property, and the promotion of the health and general welfare of its citizens. In order to fulfill these purposes, the elected officials must pass proper ordinances--unless these ordinances can be enforced fairly, firmly and impartially by a well-qualified police force, then these ordinances have little effect. The greatest effect of a well-trained professional law enforce ment officer is that he discourages those who would break the law by the very fact that he is qualified to uphold the law and the public knowing this, gives him their full respect.
We feel that the unqualified endorsement of a State Police Academy by the Georgia Municipal Association could be made only after some defi nite plans had been established; however, we can certainly say that the Association is in support of every effort to improve the professional ability of our police officers in order to gain for the Law Enforcement Profession the respect that it should have from the public, and that we are willing to work with this committee and all other appropriate groups to help ac complish this.
The following are some general ideas we feel should be considered in the establishment of a State Police Academy:
(1.) That the Academy should have the single objective of raising the professional and technical ability of the individual law enforcement officer of this state, and the administration and curriculum of the Academy should be so established as to remove it from the influence of politics.
(2.) That an investigation should be made as to the possibility of initially utilizing existing educational or other facilities to minimize the initial cost.
(3.) That the course of instruction not be made mandatory for local law enforcement officers initially.
(4.) That local elected officials be polled to get a consensus of ideas as to methods which might be feasible for financing the tuition and other expenses of students.
(5.) That studies of established Police Academies in other states be continued in order to gain as much benefit as possible from their ex perience.

Mr. Elmer George also assisted in sending out a questionnaire to a sample of cities in Georgia to learn of the interests of city Police Departments in a Police Academy. The following is a summary of the results:

4. None of costs .__--_.__._--__...__._....___.____._._.._ 2

The data show that 49 cities responded, having an average police force of 19, ranging from 1 to 173 police. Such small cities as Attapulgus and Baxley and large cities, as Augusta and Savannah, are represented. It is noted that these 49 cities alone are interested in sending 200 or more police annually to the Academy, and 71 percent are willing to pay 50 percent or more of the costs.

Resolutions in support of establishing an Academy" were received from the Georgia Municipal Association and from the Peace Officers' Association.

3. RECOMMENDATIONS.
The Committee meeting of October 23, 1961, was for the purpose of sum marizing results, agreeing on recommendations, and drawing up a bill. The recommendations agreed to by the Committee are as follows:
1. The Committee's study has shown that there is a definite need for a Police Academy for Georgia. It should provide training for all persons entering the profession of police officers and also provide advanced training and refresher courses.
2. The Academy should serve police officers of all levels of government in the State and also those departments and branches of government that are engaged in law enforcement.
3. The Police Academy should be controlled by a Board of seven members composed of: 1.) Director, Department of Public Safety; 2.) President, Peace Officers' Association of Georgia; 3.) President, Georgia Municipal Association; 4.) President, County Commissioners Association; 5.) Director, Vocational Di vision, State Department of Education; 6.) A Peace Officer to be appointed by the Governor from a list of three names to be submitted by the Peace Officers' Association; 7.) A person to be appointed by the Governor.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,
This Board should set the policy and establish programs for the Academy.
4. Policies and programs of the Board should be administered by the De partment of Public Safety which should have authority for the actual operation.
5. The location of the Academy should be determined only after an en actment of the Bill and a careful study of sites. As the Committee already has inspected several sites and is familiar with the requirements and needs, we request that the President of the Senate delegate to the Government Opera tions Committee the authority to continue a study of sites and to select one after the legislation has been enacted.
6. The Committee recommends that training at the Police Academy not be mandatory for any police officer; however, there is an urgent need for formal training of police officers, and we believe that eventually training can be made mandatory.
4. ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
A bill was introduced in the General Assembly during the 1962 Session, as drawn by Legal Counsel Mr. Frank Edwards. This was passed and with the Governor's signature, a Police Academy for Georgia became a reality in a matter of time.
Colonel Conner, State Department of Safety, estimates that the number of officers provided for in dormitories in the present plans will be 76 rooming police. The training cycle will vary but State troopers will attend for 14-16 weeks.
Col. Conner stated December 7 in an interview that the Police Academy for Georgia is a great step forward in law enforcement in the State. It has been needed for many years. He listed the following specific impacts:
1. Sharp up-grading of officers.
2. Greatly improved public relations.
3. More efficient investigations of accidents.
4. Improved criminal detection.
5. Greater sense of pride in being an officer of the law.
6. Will make police work a profession.
C. COUNTY REAPPORTIONMENT.
After the legislature was called into Extra Session in April 1962, in re sponse to a Court Decision, the House passed a resolution creating a Study Committee. The Senate did not concur, but the President of the Senate appointed the members of the Senate Government Operations Committee to work with the House Committee.
The Majority report from the Hearings provided for one representative from each '.county and 100 Senators apportioned according to population. How ever, a majority of the Senate Government Operations Committee joined in a

minority report which recommended that the House be held at its existing strength and the Senate be limited to 54 members. It recommended that the Senate should be proportionate to population with counties being rearranged into groups of approximately 75,000 population. (The final bill passed by the State Legislature in its September 1962 Extra Session was substantially the same as the minority report, with some modifications of the Senatorial Districts.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

REPORT OF HOUSE GALLERY AND NEWS MEDIA STUDY COMMITTEE

Pursuant to H. R. 599 creating a committee to investigate the possibility of establishing a section in the House gallery to be used exclusively by the various news media and for the purpose of having a more orderly House of Representatives, your committee makes the following findings and recommenda tions.

The Committee has held public hearings and has heard from representa tives from all branches of the news media, including radio, newspapers, tele vision and the wire services. The Committee has made other investigations, in cluding reports from the legislatures of other states in the nation.

The Honorable Ben W. Fortson, Secretary of State, an ex offieio member of this Committee has been of tremendous help to the Committee in obtaining information, documents and other materials from sources outside of the State of Georgia on behalf of this Committee.

We find that there is a great deal of disturbance on the floor of the House, which is created in part by news media personnel and by recording devices, telephones located behind the Speaker's rostrum and newsreel cameras. We rec ognize that all the disturbance does not result from these sources but that in the interest of a more orderly House that the above stated problem is contributed to by news media personnel and equipment.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The Committee respectfully recommends to the House as follows:
1. We recommend that the lobbies adjacent to the House Chamber be re served for the use of the Representatives of the House, their families and constitutents, and representatives of the news media. We also recommend that the Speaker provide necessary door keepers on the doors leading into these lobbies to insur proper use of the same.
2. We further recommend that all news reporters refrain from interview ing House members on the floor of the House while the House is in session. It is further recommended that if such interviews or recordings should be nec essary that the interview be conducted in the lobbies adjacent to the House Chamber and no such interviews or recordings be permitted on the House floor while the House is in session.
3. We strongly recommend that the telephones installed in the House Chamber, not necessary for the transaction of business between the House and Senate and other offices, be removed to others localities outside of the House Chamber.
4. We also recommend that the television operators and cameramen give their full cooperation to the Speaker and members of the House in eliminating as much confusion as possible when they are on the floor of the House, par ticularly the television lights which are used around the rostrum, which light

interferes with the Speaker to the extent that he cannot see members who are seeking recognition.
5. We recommend that the Speaker of the House be given the discretion to limit and control the number of news media personnel admitted to the floor of the House. We urge the Speaker to issue only such number of passes as his judgment may indicate in keeping with the intentions of the resolution and the responsibility of the press to the public.
6. We recognize that this problem cannot be solved within the ten days provided for in the resolution for this Committee to study this problem and we recommend that this Committee be continued for the purpose of further investi gation and plans towards the fulfillment of the purposes set forth in the reso lution. We further recommend that the news media be represented on this Com mittee.

COMMENTS
It is the function of the Legislature to deal with the life, liberty and happi ness of every Georgian. The Legislature is a sacred hall which should and must be conducted in a manner and decorum in keeping with the functions of said sovereign body.
It is not the intention or purpose of this Committee to suppress the right of freedom of press or speech, nor to restrict the obligation and responsibility which the news media owes to the public.
The privilege to the floor of the House by persons other than the duly elected representatives is only a privilege and not a right, and if said privilege were denied to the news media it would be no infringement on freedom of the press or speech, as said privileges are not granted to the news media by the United States Congress nor many other legislatures of the various states. The privilege of reporters of the press, radio and television to the floor of the House is subordinate to the proper function of the Legislature.
The Committee offers its full cooperation to the news media in discharging their responsibility to the public and at the same time we seek and ask the co operation of the news media in discharging our responsibility towards attaining a more orderly House of Representatives in which to conduct the State's busi ness.
Respectfully submitted,
P. T. McCutchen, Chairman Representative, Gilmer County James W. Paris, Vice-chairman Representative, Barrow County Billy Shaw Abney, Secretary Representative, Walker County Leonard N. Lokey Representative, McDuffie County Harold A. Boggs Representative, Madison, County

TO: THE GOVERNOR, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
REPORT OF THE GEORGIA HOUSING ADMINISTRATION STUDY COMMITTEE
(Senate Resolution 102)
Introduction
In an effort to obtain relief from some of the many complex problems facing the home building industry, Georgia home builders turned to the Georgia Gen eral Assembly for assistance. Realizing that the home building industry makes a vital contribution to the overall economic welfare of our State, the Georgia General Assembly at the 1962 Session passed Senate Resolution 102 creating the Georgia Housing Administration Study Committee.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2161

The Committee is composed of twelve (12) members as follows:
Honorable E. Mullins Whisnant Senator, 25th District Honorable E. R. Lambert Senator, 28th District Honorable Eugene Kelly Senator, 25th District Honorable Philip M. Chandler Representative, Baldwin County Honorable W. Jones Lane Representative, Bulloch County Honorable Jack W. Shuman Representative, Bryan County Honorable R. C. Massee Representative, Pulaski County Honorable Quimby Melton, Jr. Representative, Spalding County Honorable Jerry Ingle Columbus, Georgia Honorable James M. Paulk Adel, Georgia Honorable William A. Fickling, Sr. Macon, Georgia Honorable William L. Goodloe Valdosta, Georgia

At its organizational meeting Representative Philip M. Chandler was elected Chairman.

Representative Jones Lane was elected Vice-Chairman and Senator Roy Lambert was elected Secretary.

The Committee immdiately started its investigation and study with reference to the feasibility of creating an insuring and regulatory agency under State sponsorship and control for the purpose of expediting house construction and financing in the State of Georgia.

During the course of this study, intense effort was made by the Com mittee to examine all phases of the home building and financing field. The Com mittee received many helpful suggestions and expert counsel from representa tives of home builders, home manufacturers, insurance companies, mortgage bankers, savings and loan associations, State retirement funds, commercial banks and stock and bond brokers. The Committee also heard from the Treasurer Emeritus of Georgia, the Director of the State Banking Department, the State Budget Officer and other interested parties.

Findings and Recommendations
1. The Committee has found that since the creation of Federal aid agencies connected with housing, the original intents and purposes of these agencies have been expanded into many other related fields of Federal government en deavor. This expansion has created an excessive work load for the personnel of the agencies and as a result, they have been unable to keep pace with current

2162

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

and changing building trends of the home building industry, the purpose for which the agencies were created. Oftentimes, these agencies find themselves with a backlog of pending and proposed cases which they are unable to process in a reasonable length of time due to insufficient personnel and insufficient funds.
2. The Committee finds that there is a desperate need for housing for our citizens in the low income bracket. This need is not being met by the FHA because property standards require improvements which make the overall cost excessive and beyond the means of these citizens. This Committee feels that a number of these required improvement should be eliminated in order that these citizens can become home owners and thus open a new market for the building industry and provide some housing opportunities for a large segment of the population of this State. At the present time, this very large group of citizens is being forced to occupy multi-family housing developments and public housing units; whereas, they could own their homes if the requirements referred to in the foregoing could be eliminated.
3. The recent Presidential directive banning alleged discrimination of housing has added additional problems to the home building industry. We find that the economic impact of this directive affects every State. This directive will complicate, instead of solving the many problems of the home building in dustry. It is predicted that in some areas the housing industry will be curtailed by fifty (50%) percent. Our first impression was that the curtailment would be immediate; however, the Committee agrees that the curtailment will be a slow process which will cause economic problems in the future. Many states throughout the country have set up committees to study the problems that the Presidential directive has created.
4. It is not the purpose of this Committee to indict any individuals em ployed by these Federal agencies, and in particular the personnel of the Atlanta officers of the FHA or Veterans Administration. The Committee feels that the ills and problems enumerated above accumulated due to the fact that the Federal agencies have departed from the purpose for which they were originally created.
5. The housing industry is the largest employer of labor--bigger than the steel industry, the automotive industry, the oil industry, the railroads and bigger than all our export trade. We can ill afford to let things go wrong with housing for the building industry still accounts for ten and three-tenths (10.3%) percent of all the long term employment.

The need of better housing is still enormous--so enormous that, rightly guided, the housing industry can still play an enormous part in restoring and sustaining prosperity. The housing needs of an affluent society are far greater than the housing needs of a poor economy. In our prosperous America, where so few are still ill-fed and so few are still ill-clad, why must nearly five (5) million families still be crowded into shacks and tenements hardly fit for human habitation? And why should the other fifty (50) million families still live in housing that averages forty-two (42%) percent cheaper and poorer than they can now afford by FHA income standards?
6. The Committee also finds that the housing industry represents a great part of the long term capital investments of the Nation.
7. The Committee urges the FHA to keep the Certified Agency Program, expand it, and make it work. This is the only practical scheme anyone has been able to suggest by which FHA could help channel city money into small towns

V

and rural areas. Private industry has proved that mortgage loans and house construction can be handled with dispatch, and the Committee feels that by use of the Certified Agency Program, these Federal agencies could expedite housing tremendously in the entire State.

The Committee recommends that the FHA lower its insurance rate to onefourth (% % ) percent since statistics indicate it has made a profit of nine hundred million ($900,000,000) dollars since its creation.
8. The Committee found that the retirement systems of this State have taken little or no active interest in investing in home mortgages in Georgia. In stead, these retirement funds are being invested in various stocks and bonds of corporations and municipalities throughout the continental United States. With the exception of the State Employees Retirement Fund, no residential mortgages are included in their portfolios. The total amount of money in all the pension funds amounts to approximately three hundred million ($300,000,000) dollars. This money was paid into the funds by Georgians, and the Committee feels that it is an injustice to the people of Georgia for this money not to be used to finance homes for Georgians. The lending of these funds on homes could be accomplished with little or no additional paperwork by dealing through reputable mortgage bankers within the State.
9. The Committee explored the possibility of creating a Georgia Housing Authority and in this investigation talked to many insurance companies and mortgage brokers and found that the majority would be reluctant to lend money insured by the Georgia Housing Authority unless it was an obligation guaran teed by the State. We discussed the possibility of the State guaranteeing obli gations under the Georgia Housing Authority with the Honorable Frank H. Edwards, Legislative Counsel, and he advised that under the Constitution of Georgia it would be impossible for the State to organize an agency to supple ment in the insuring and financing field of the home building industry.

The Committee recommends the following:

A. That a resolution be passed by the General Assembly encouraging the home building industry to organize and create its own insuring and regulatory agencies and pledging our good will to this association in this undertaking.

B. That a resolution be passed by the Senate and House of Representa tives calling upon all the State pension funds to take a more active interest in the home mortgage field within the State.
C. That a resolution be passed and forwarded to Senators Herman Talmadge and Richard B. Russell and the Congressmen G. Elliott Hagan, J. L. Pilcher, E. L. Forrester, John J. Flynt, Jr., Charles L. Weltner, Carl Vinson, John W. Davis, J. Russell Tuten, Phil M. Landrum, Robert G. Stephens, Jr., and to Representative Albert Rains from Alabama and Senator John J. Sparkman from Alabama, urging that they take a personal interest to see that Federal aid agencies are made conscious of the problems and that some remedial action be taken in the low cost home ownership area.

D. The Committee recommends that the formation of state chartered sav ings and loan associations be encouraged through the enactment of comprehen sive legislation authorizing and regulating such associations and that, due to

2164

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

the superior growth records of stock savings and loan associations in other parts of the country, such legislation authorizes the formation of stock associ ations as well as purely mutual ones. The Committee further recommends the establishment of an agency of the State of Georgia authorized to insure deposits in state chartered associations, such agency to be patterned after the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.

E. The Committee wishes to point out that the tremendous problem which has been posed in this field of study has not been justly dealt with due to the lack of time. The Committee suggests that because of the tremendous economic importance of the home building industry to the State of Georgia particularly now when the financial requirements of this State are at a maximum and the income of the State cannot afford to suffer any great losses from this industry or any segment of its income, that further interest and study be directed to this problem with the ultimate aim of finding solutions.

The Committee wishes to express their appreciation to all who gave their assistance and counsel in gathering the information and rendering assistance in making this report available. The Committee also wishes to express their sincere gratitude for the assistance rendered by the Office of Legislative Counsel.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT ON HYGIENE AND SANITATION NO. 2
INTRODUCTION
This Committee was created pursuant to House Resolution 433-912 (AM) of the 1962 Session to study the need of a dental college in this State and to study the facilities and requirements of nursing homes for the aged throughout the State. The Committee was composed of William M. Fleming, Jr., Richmond County; James M. Hull, Jr., Richmond County; George P. Langford, Jr., War ren County; Ernest W. Strickland, Evans County; Alien P. Roper, Greene County; Ben B. Ross, Lincoln County; Hines L. Brantley, Candler County; Carl T. Barrett, Cherokee County; Bailey Woodward, Butts County; Mackie Simpson, Wheeler County; E. Brooks Lewis, Wilkinson County; and Richard Russell Smith, Habersham County. At its initial meeting the Committee elected Carl T. Barrett, Chairman, Ben B. Ross, Vice-Chairman and George P. Lang ford, Jr., Secretary.
FINDINGS
This Committee visited the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Rich mond County, Georgia, on October 30, 1962 and examined the facilities of the medical college and the adjoining medical center. The Committee finds that the present facilities of the medical college are being utilized to an excellent ad vantage.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2165

The Committee further determined from observation and expert testimony that it is both desirable and feasible for the State of Georgia to create a College of Dentistry to be operated in conjunction with the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta.

Subsequent study of facts prepared for the Committee by the State Dental Association and the Medical College of Georgia indicates that Georgia must provide more qualified dental practitioners than existing facilities can supply in order to maintain the minimum standards of dental health for Georgia's ex panding population.

Our study indicates that private institutions do not have the funds neces sary to provide these additional qualified practitioners and dental hygiene per sonnel to maintain those desirable standards of dental care.

The decision of this Committee is based on the fact that with certain ex pansions the basic science departments of the Medical College of Georgia can be extended to accommodate dental college students. Existing administrative and operative personnel can be utilized to afford a considerable savings of over head expenses. Also, a number of buildings situated at the medical college can be economically redesigned to accommodate additional students occasioned by the dental college.

We respectfully refer attention to a Brochure entitled "Dental Education in Georgia" prepared by this Committee and made an addendum to this report.

CONCLUSION
Therefore, this Committee sincerely urges the General Assembly of Georgia to give unanimous approval to a resolution requesting the Appropriations Com mittee to make available to the Board of Regents the funds necessary to create a Dental College of Georgia to be operated in conjunction with the Medical Col lege of Georgia.

THE INTERIM COMMITTEE AND ITS ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION
The Interim Committee for Industry and Labor was authorized by Senate Resolution No. 46 and 92, for the purpose of making a study of the industrial potential of the State of Georgia and to make a comparative analysis of legisla tion effecting industry in various southeastern states. The Committee was com posed of the following members of the Senate:
Senator Harry C. Jackson, 24th District, Columbus, Georgia Senator Elden W. Mathews, 48th District, Cordele, Georgia Senator Floyd J. Harrington, 20th District, Milledgeville, Georgia Senator Gaston V. Green, 44th District, Rising Fawn, Georgia Senator John T. McKenzie, 13th District, Montezuma, Georgia
The Committee was duly organized with Senator Harry C. Jackson as Chairman, Senator John T. McKenzie as Vice Chairman, and Senator Elden W. Mathews as Secretary.
For many years there has been a need for establishing a balance between the economic opportunities offered the people of Georgia in Agriculture Industry and the Manufacturing Industry. We are of the opinion that too often the young people of Georgia were forced to leave their native State to find suitable em ployment in the field of knowledge that they had excelled in through the State sponsored education. This Committee's first concern addressed itself toward examining the State Agencies in the Southeast that had an assigned mission of developing existing manufacturing industries or attracting new industries to establish their expanded plants within their State borders. The State Agency responsible for this in the State of Georgia was at the beginning of our Com mittee's work known as the State Department of Commerce.
Fiscal responsibility should be paramount in efficient government opera tion and, therefore, the Committee's first assignment was to examine the budgets of the Departments in the Southeastern States that were assigned duties similar to the Georgia Department of Commerce. Many individual members of State

2168

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Government and Lay organizations made statements that in order for Georgia to obtain adequate service from the Department of Commerce, it would first be necessary to have the General Assembly appropriate a greatly increased fund for the operations budget of the Dept. of Commerce. Estimates were given without substantiation ranging from a minimum of one million dollars to five million. The Committee decided to check these suggestions with other States.

The Committee visited North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee in 1961.

In addition, the Committee members consulted with leading industrial experts of Georgia banks, Georgia Power Company, and the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce regarding the operations of our own Georgia Department of Commerce.

The Committee has conferred with the director and the assistant director of the Georgia Department of Commerce, and our records show that they indicate a budget of one million dollars is needed for the coming year and one million, six hundred thousand dollars throughout the following year. They advise us that a great part of this must be spent in advertising and that a New York office of the Georgia Department of Commerce should be a part of the operation.

In accordance with the information submitted to the Committee, we are listing the budgets of the various states we have visited, as well as Georgia. These budgets include advertising:
Iowa ________________________________-____-__ $ 262,000.00 Nebraska __-_-_._.___--__.._--_._____________ 234,357.00 Arizona __._..__.....____._____________._______ 300,000.00 North Carolina ,,_____.______________...__... 925,970.00 South Carolina _________..._________________._____ 600,000.00 Florida -__________.._._.___.._______________. 1,599,000.00 Mississippi ____________........_..._...._________ 650,000.00 Louisiana _______________.___.__...____... 734,000.00 Alabama ____________________________________. 400,000.00 Tennessee .___.__.__..______.._____________..._____--___- 671,700.00 GEORGIA ________________________________..________ 650,000.00

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2169

It was the policy of Georgia for the Governor to decide who is to have the advertising contract for the Department of Commerce. It was not the custom for the presentations to be made by other advertising agencies. In most of the States visited by the Committee, we were advised that presentations were made by various agencies in accordance with the advertising budget. The agency sub mitting the best program for the state was selected by a committee free of political influence.

After careful consideration the committee is of the opinion that an addi tional $250,000.00 for advertising placed on a competitive basis should be a great help in the program for attracting new industry. To Georgia--the budget of Georgia Department of Commerce needs expanding but not in the manner of one to five million dollars, is the conclusion of the Committee after a twoyear study of the budgets of sister States.

RESUME OF STATES VISITED
The actual operation of the Departments of Commerce in the Southeastern States invited the Committee's attention.
The Committee lists below a brief resume of the operations of the various states visited.
North Carolina--The entire department including the director are trained men, who are not affected by political changes in the governor's office. The director received a salary of $15,000 annually and was trained in industrial de velopment before being hired.
All contact men who seek industry and who endeavor to place industry in North Carolina have degrees in either business administration or engineering. They have also had several years experience as employees in industry. These men are paid from $7,900 to $12,800 annually.
Working hours range from 40 to 60 hours per week, and they are on call to go see industry on holidays, or any day of the week.
An example of how little poltics affect some state agencies is born out by the fact that South Carolina hired the former director of the North Carolina Department at a considerable higher salary, and the state also lost their research director to West Virginia.
There are 30 employees in the North Carolina department, and the budget is as follows:
Literature and travel ___,,__....__..._--___--___.___.____.._--_.____$152,570.00 Salaries, administration and all others __----_.,,--- 361,000.00
TOTAL .......__._....____........_......_....._-___-......___-....__-.$513,970.00
South Carolina--This state operates on a non-political basis, and the di rector was hired away from North Carolina. The director states the department in this state was being set up along the lines of the North Carolina department.

2170

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

The department has a staff of 15, and its advertising is being handled by an Atlanta agency.
Budget of the department exclusive of advertising is as follows: Salaries, administration, literature, etc. --.--._--_....--$350,000.00

Mississippi--The director of this department is a political appointee, but the assistant director and field men are all non-political and do not change with administrations.

The field men which include three external industrial development men, one internal development man, an agricultural man, one port (river and ocean) man, and a tourist man, are all men with degrees in basic sciences which fit them for their positions, and they are men who had previous training before joining the department.
The budget exclusive of advertising for a year is as follows: Salaries, expenses and administration __,,_.____,,--.________,, _$300,000.00

Florida--This department has a tremendous advertising budget for tourists, the budget being set at $1,200,000; but due to financial conditions of the state, it has been cut back to $720,000.

The men employed as industry seekers all come under the merit system of the state, and more time is spent on developing new industries with Florida capital than is spent on securing outside industry.
The director stated that no funds were spent by his department for enter tainment or travel expenses of outside industrial prospects.

Salary of the chairman of the department is $13,000. The director of the industrial department received $16,000 and the director of the tourist department receives $12,000 annually.

The department has a large budget but seemingly is not as well operated as most of the states we visited.

Louisiana--This state has an active department, and the director is a political apointee. The assistant director has been with the department for a number of years and is a well qualified individual.

Men who are used as contact men are all young men with college degrees, picked from nearby universities. There are five men in the class of field men, and salaries range from $440 to $460 per month. These men also receive $11 a day expense allowance, and when on industrial trips, extra expenses are allowed upon sanction of the director.
The budget of the department exclusive of advertising is as follows: Salaries, administration and all other expenses -_______-$384,000.00

Alabama--This state has a political appointee as director of the department and all employees come under a merit system.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2171

This department has a limited advertising budget. In 1960 it was $125,000 for both tourist and industry, and in 1961 it is even less according to the director. Most of the money is spent on tourist advertising.

The department has an aeronautical board, and it is their hope to have an airport in every community through Federal Aid. Twenty new airports were dedicated during 1961.

The department has the state divided into four sections with an external man working with the local communities for the setting up of industrial tracts, city planning and other things which will make the community attractive to industry.

Salaries of the field men range from $4,000 to $7,500 per year with an expense allowance of $9 per day. The state furnishes each man with a car.

Out-of-state contacts with industrial plants are handled almost exclusively with trained men from Alabama Power Company.

Budget for the department as follows:
Advertising ____________________ ________._._.___.._______.____________$125,000.00 Salaries and other department expenses ________ 200,000.00 Federal aid __________________._,,_______,,_________,,____._____,,_____ 75,000.00

$400,000.00

Tennessee--This state has a political appointee as its director, but the assistant director and other personnel carry over from one administration to the next.

The Tennessee Department of Conservation and Industry has two trained men with degrees who contact industrial prospects.

The state is divided into three divisions; Western, Middle and Eastern. There is a director in charge of each division, and he handles industrial prospects who are interested in his part of the state.

Contact men average $7,500 yearly with actual expense allowances.

The department has a tourist division and an industrial division, as well as: 1. Building and finance committee 2. Industrial promotion 3. Industrial research 4. Industrial development 5. Nuclear energy development

TOTAL BUDGET

$671,700.00

Advertising is let on a presentation basis.
Georgia--This department had a total budget of $650,000, of which $250,000 is spent for advertising. There are three men contacting industry in the depart ment.
This department should not be under political influence, and trained men who can make a career working for the state should be employed at suitable salaries.
The committee is of the opinion that a large budget is not necessarily the answer to a successful Department of Commerce. We find that a large budget merely covers up some of the weaknesses of a department.
A budget of $800,000, properly administered with proper advertising, qualified employees to contact industry and well organized departments, is sufficient to do a good job.
The Committee at the end of the first years' investigation, became convinced that the tax structure of the State of Georgia was one of the important factors that was criticized by new industrial prospects. The committee came to this conclusion after checking on the tax program of the other states we visited in the southeast. For the record we again publish here our findings.
North Carolina--According to the director of the North Carolina Depart ment of Commerce and Industry, there is no state operated financing set-up. HOY/EVER, there is a State Development Authority financed by leading busi nessmen, banks, etc., for the financing of industrial plants.
North Carolina Taxes--According to the director there is a one percent tax (sales) on the first thousand dollars of the purchase price of new machinery. There is an ad valorem tax on industry.
South Carolina--According to the Director of the Development Board of South Carolina, local development corporations build industrial plants.
South Carolina Taxes--South Carolina does not charge sales tax on new machinery.
There are NO ad valorem taxes on goods in process or manufactured. Taxes on plants and equipment are set through valuations made by the State Tax Commission. After they have made a 100 per cent valuation, the local tax boards

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2173

are permitted to charge taxes on 16.8 per cent of the total valuation. Facilities for the benefit and convenience of employees are exempt from taxation.

Florida--There is a three percent tax (sales) on the first $1,000 of the cost of new machinery. If the machinery is over one year old, there is no sales tax.

All counties have an inventory tax, but there is NO corporation income tax, NO individual income tax, and NO state ad valorem tax.

Mississippi--This state has a bonding set-up whereby a city or a county may bond itself for a new industrial plant providing the company which wishes to locate has worth of one and a half times the amount of the bonds to be issued.

Taxes--This state has a three per cent sales tax, but there is no sales tax on machinery brought into the State by industry.

There is an ad valorem tax, but counties or cities may waive the tax on new or existing industry for five or ten years by vote of the people. However, taxes on the value of the land must be paid.

Inventory taxes--An industry may be exempted from paying an ad valorem tax on inventories, providing the city or county places the same on its minutes, to exempt this tax.

Bonded Warehouses--are exempt from ad valorem tax.
Alabama--This state has an industrial development set-up similar to Miss issippi. A county or a community can bond itself or issue revenue certificates for the building of an industrial plant and can even install the machinery and other equipment. It is then leased on a 30-year basis after which a 99-year lease is given for $1 per year.
Taxes--When a plant is built by a county or community, there is no sales tax on either materials or equipment.
The state has a three per cent sales tax, but only 1% per cent is charged on machinery.

Alabama grants a ten-year exemption on ad valorem taxes for new industry on everything except for school and hospital taxes. Value of the land is also taxed.

Louisiana--Financing for industrial plants is financed by state and mu nicipal bond issues similar to the plan used by Mississippi.

Taxes--The state sales tax is two per cent and cities may add one per cent for their use. No use tax is charged if tax has been paid in other states.

Raw materials are exempt from tax and inventory tax is based on 75 per cent of the total value. There is no exemption for machinery in new industry,

2174

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

but the tax is negotiated by attorneys and tax men of the state revenue depart ment.

Tennessee--This state has two methods of financing industry:
1. 1951 Act which allows cities and communities to sell revenue bonds, which do not make the taxpayer liable.
2. 1955 General Obligation Act which permits cities and counties to bond themselves up to ten per cent of their total tax valuation. This 1955 Act is backed by the city or county. Before voting on such an issue, it must be approved by the Department's Finance Committee.

Taxes--This state has a three per cent sales tax, but new machinery for a new industry is taxed at a one per cent rate.

Existing industry pays one per cent on new machinery when it can be shown it will employ more people.

Building materials carry a three per cent sales tax.

Power--T.V.A. power is only a factor with five out of every 100 new in dustries secured. Only large users, such as aluminum companies, etc., are interested in the T.V.A. power rates.

The Committee published the first half of this report to the 1962 General Assembly and presented legislation to help correct what we thought was wrong with the sales and use tax as related to industry prior to the 1962 session of the General Assembly. The Vandiver Administration was not in accord with the
legislation submitted by the Committe and used its influence to defeat the act that would have made Georgia competitive with sister States. A weak and make shift compromise bill was finally passed that gave little or no immediate relief to an industry that wanted to expand or grow in Georgia, or to make Georgia as its new home. We believe that the committee's bill would have best served Georgia and we hope that consideration will be given to this bill in the future.

In the Committee's work during 1962, special attention has been given to the important facet of industrial expansion related to the methods of financing. The committee made on-hand reports and visitations to see what methods of financing would and could best serve the industrial expansion in the State of Georgia.

Our investigations disclosed that many industrialists were concerned with the fact that Georgia had no concrete and state-wide uniform plan for financing new or expanding plants in the State of Georgia as compared to many of the States that we visited. The Committee is of the opinion that a state-sponsored plan for assisting areas or communities with financial assistance and other technical help should be uniformly set-up in the State of Georgia. An example is noted in Pennsylvania where 100% financing is available for industrial plants. In Pennsylvania, this 100% financing is arranged through the following method --fifty percent of the funds are secured by a first mortgage through a private investment corporation, twenty percent of the funds are secured through a local development company which takes a second mortgage and thirty per cent or the balance is advanced by the state with a third mortgage as security.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2175

In Alabama, Tennessee, Nebraska, Mississippi and other states which we have visited, county and city revenue bond financing has been the method used to secure plants for new industry.

The Industrial Development Division of Georgia Tech has this to say about financing of industry in Georgia as follows:

"Efforts to solve the problem of local financing of new plant construction are, from a statewide point of view, approaching the ridiculous. With the ratifi cation last month of a host of local amendments to the State Constitution, some 58 new revenue bond financing authorities, either county or city or both, have been authorized. With the 27 previously authorized, these new agencies constitute a veritable hodgepodge of autonomous bodies, some with the power to levy taxes. This is a situation that confuses even those reasonably well-informed persons who understand what is involved.

"The mere fact that the number of revenue bond financing authorities was more than doubled is adequate proof of the interest and approval by the citizenery of public financing of industrial facilities as a tool in attracting industry. These actions have not, however, solved other equally pressing aspects of the problem-- how to gauge the ability of a prospective industry to liquidate the obligation, to name but one.

"Competitively, some localities now are going to be at a genuine disad vantage when contending with one of the 83 city/county groups which has a revenue bond financing authority. Some of these probably will resort to the little known 1957 legislation which, by amending the Revenue Certificate Law of 1937 (now known as the Revenue Bond Act), permits either municipal or county governments by a simple majority vote of the governing body to issue such bonds for the construction and lease of industrial facilities.
"Ordinarily, we do not believe that the new legislation is the panacea for the problems in industrial development, but in this case, there is a clear need for state-wide enabling legislation that can bring some order out of this con fusion. By constitutional authorization, revenue bond financing should be made available to any local governing body through voter approval. Equally important would be the establishment, at the State level, of some type of "screening board" to review the proposed issues, the tenants, and the lease terms to insure that both the community and the company are getting a fair deal.
"This will help to eliminate the deplorable practice by certain industries that use one community's proposals as a lever for obtaining excessive advantages at some other location. The Georgia General Assembly ought to examine this situation and formulate a satisfactory solution."

We found that Industrial prospects often expressed concern in the following tax situations relating to:
1. Industry Inventory Tax 2. State wide equalization of taxes 3. Valuation of industrial property

OPINION OF COMMITTEE

The committee is of the opinion that the four situations stated above should be further investigated and corrections made to cause Georgia's uniform tax structure to be competitive with other states seeking industry.

After the 1961 Labor and Industry Report, the committee is pleased to advise the 1963 General Assembly that action has been taken to improve the general image of the agency responsible for industrial development in Georgia. The Labor and Industry Committee sponsored a constitutional admendment that reorganized the Department of Commerce. The purpose of this action was to remove the Department of Commerce from politics and change its name to "The Department of Industry and Trade".

The Committee has always attempted to look at its assigned mission ob jectively. Our mission has been interpreted as that of finding ways and means to project the image of the State Government of Georgia and our people as being friendly and sincerely desiring healthy and fruitful expansion of indus trial manufacturing. We believe that the State Government has a definite re sponsibility to cause existing industry to expand and to attract new industry to our State. The committee has visited industry prospects wherever and when ever there seemed to be a need for interest and concern to be shown by the elected officials of our General Assembly.

The legislation that resulted from the committee's work and the forward progress made in attempts to make Georgia fully competitive with other States seeking industry, indicates that similar committees should be continued in the 1963-64 General Assembly.

COMMITTEE REPORT ON HR 653

Mr. Speaker: Members of the House:

SUBJECT:

REPORT OF COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE SPEAKER PURSUANT TO RESOLUTION NO. 653 ADOPTED BY THE HOUSE AT THE REGULAR 1962 SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

This Committee was charged with the responsibility of studying the problem created by the high percentage of financially irresponsible motorists upon the highways of Georgia and to make recommendation as to possible solution of the problem.

The Speaker appointed the following Representatives to serve on the Com mittee:
Honorable Wilson Wilkes, Cook County Honorable Crawford Ware, Troup County Honorable David C. Jones, Worth County Honorable Alpha A. Fowler, Jr., Douglas County Honorable James L. Conner, Jeff Davis County Honorable Talmage B. Echols, Upson County

Having been designated Temporary Chairman, Wilson Wilkes convened the Committee at the Capitol. Wilson Wilkes was elected Chairman and was authorized to name the Secretary. He named Talmage Echols Secretary.

At the organization meeting the Committee discussed at length the problem posed by the uninsured motorist, as well as the various available possible solu tions. It was decided that acting within the authority of HR 653 studies should be made in the following areas:
1. Financial responsibility laws.
2. Enforcement of financial responsibility laws.
3. Proof of liability insurance coverage by motorists as requisite to purchasing license plates.
4. Unsatisfied judgment or uninsured motorist insurance for financially responsible drivers.

The Committee notified the various segments of the insurance industry and the respective Departments of State Government of its purpose and intention. Participation in our deliberations was invited.

The following segments of the insurance industry formed a committee identified as the "All Industry Committee". The purpose of this committee was to bring together the thinking of the insurance industry in an effort to recom-

2178

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

mend to our committee and the General Assembly a composite plan for dealing with the financially irresponsible motorists on the highways of Georgia. The following were represented on the All Industry Committee:
American Mutual Insurance Alliance
Association of Casualty and Surety Companies
Georgia Association of Independent Insurance Agents
Georgia Mutual Agents Association Managing General Agents
National Association of Independent Insurers.

After the 1962 session of the General Assembly this All Industry Com mittee met numerous times and representatives of the Committee asked for hearing by our House Interim Committee. At this hearing Mr. John R. Hopkins presented on behalf of the Industry Committee recommended action looking to ward the solution of the uninsured motorist problem.

Sub-Committees of your Committee met with Insurance Department Officials, Representatives of Agents Associations, Agents and individual car owners in the states of New Hampshire, Connecticut and Virginia.

FINDINGS OF THE COMMITTEE:
1. Three states presently have compulsory automobile liability insurance laws: North Carolina, Massachusetts and New York. Your Committee com municated with responsible officials in these states, also studied the record of claims, rates and incidence of accidents in these states. We find that the auto mobile liability insurance business in these states is hopelessly involved in politics; that their rates are consistently and decidedly higher than rates in non-compulsory states; also that there is much sentiment in these states to repeal the compulsory laws but it is highly questionable if they will be able to unravel the politics-insurance tangle.
2. Grave concern exists in our state about this problem of the high per centage of financially irresponsible motorists driving upon our highways in Georgia. This concern is shared by but not limited to the Insurance Commis sioner of Georgia, all segments of the insurance industry, other state officials and the financial responsible motorists in general.
3. It is the unanimous opinion of your Committee that it is most urgent that legislation be enacted at this session of the General Assembly looking to the solution of this problem of making more motorists of Georgia financially responsible.
4. Generally the "Virginia Plan", which has increased insured motorists upon the highways of Virginia without the state becoming involved in com pulsory auto insurance laws seems to be the most effective and with the least involvement on the part of the state government. Presently uninsured Virginia motorists on the highways of Virginia is about 4.5%. This figure seems to approach the irreducible minimum.

2179

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE.

1. We unanimously oppose the requirement of proof of liability insurance as requisite to obtaining license to operate a motor vehicle. This is commonly known as compulsory auto liability insurance law.
2. Our financial responsibility laws should be made more stringent and strictly enforced.
3. The Committee was divided on supporting the Virginia Plan in its entirety. By compromise among the six members, the Committee decided to recommend, by introduction of Bills, parts of the "Virginia Plan". The parts accepted are the Bodily Injury and Property Damage uninsured motorists, but instead of creating a fund as in Virginia, we allow all insureds the right to reject this uninsured motorists clause. Step by step procedure was thought best instead of the full plan.
4. Uninsured motorists insurance should be made available at minimum cost to all insured motorists. Bodily Injury coverage should be provided with limits consistent with the financial responsibility law; also the policy should include property damage protection to $5,000 with $200.00 deductible clause. These coverages should be included in every insurance policy written in the State covering Bodily Injury and Property Damage. However, the right to reject this coverage should be given the policyholder.

REPORT OF THE STUDY COMMITTEE PERTAINING TO THE PROCEEDINGS FOR DISBARMENT AND THE STANDARDS OF
CONDUCT OF ATTORNEYS AT LAW
TO: SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND MEM BERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The House Committee to study matters pertaining to the disbarment, suspending and discipling of attorneys at law and the standard of conduct that should be required of attorneys permitted to practice law in Georgia was created by HR 733, adopted at the 1962 Session of the General Assembly pursuant to the Resolution. The following were appointed by the Speaker as Members of said Committee:
Representative Phil Taylor of Bibb County Representative Jim Hull of Richmond County Representative William Fleming, Jr., of Richmond County Representative John Scarborough of Crawford County Representative Clarence Vaughn, Jr., of Rockdale County Representative William Killian of Glynn County Representative Henry N. Payton of Coweta County.

2180

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Representative Henry Payton was designated Chairman by the Speaker and Representative Phil Taylor was elected Secretary of the Committee.

In accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Resolution, the Com mittee met and studied the present laws of the State of Georgia pertaining to the disbarment and disciplining of attorneys at law. The Committee also studied the various Bills which have been introduced in past Sessions of the General Assembly relating to this subject.

During the meetings of the Committee, the Committee has conferred with many lawyers throughout the State of Georgia and Members of the Georgia Bar Association seeking to determine the feelings of the lawyers of this State as to whether changes should be made in the existing laws pertaining to the disbarment and disciplining of attorneys and the standards of conduct of at torneys. The Committee attended meetings of the Board of Governors of the Georgia Bar Association at St. Simons Island, Columbus and Atlanta.

Your Committee is also indebted to a Special Committee of the Georgia Bar Association on the Incorporation of the Bar, which Committee was com posed of Messrs. 3. Edwin Peavy, Jesse G. Bowles, F. Jack Adams, Arthur K. Bolton, Charlie Gowen, Kirk M. McAlpin, Hal M. Smith, and Oscar M. Smith. This Special Committee of the Georgia Bar Association has submitted to the lawyers of Georgia a condensed report outlining the benefits to the attorney in having an organized Bar within the State. This Legislative Committee recognizes that disciplinary proceedings constitutes one facet in an organized Bar. This Legislative Committee also recognizes that standards of conduct and ethics also constitute a facet of an organized Bar.

The report of the Special Committee of the Georgia Bar Association which was approved by the Board of Governors of the Georgia Bar Association is attached to this report as an exhibit. Your Committee feels that the detailed information contained in said report, much of which had been obtained by this Committee, clearly establishes the desirability of an organized Bar and inasmuch as such an organization could more effectively deal with disciplinary problems, said report of the Special Committee of the Georgia Bar Association is hereby adopted and incorporated as a part of the report of this Committee.

In studying the laws of other states, your Committee studied the laws per taining to the State of New York inasmuch as said State does not have an incorporated Bar. Your Committee is indebted to the Honorable Henry Weiner, Chief Counsel of the Coordinating Committee on Discipline of the New York City Bar Association, New York County Lawyers Association and the Bronx County Bar Association. This Committee is also indebted to the Honorable Eric Nightingale, Chief Attorney of the Committee on Grievances of the New York City Bar Association.

Prom data furnished by the above gentlemen, your Committee learned their methods of procedure in investigating and handling disciplinary problems in this City which has probably the largest concentration of attornevg in the United States. Your Committee learned that in the State of New York, even without an incorporated Bar, disciplinary problems are handled entirely by ths Bar Association and the courts. The courts of New York State in the New York City area generally recognize the inherent power of the court over the admission,

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2181

standards of conduct, and disciplining of attorneys who practice in that State. The appellate divisions of the New York Courts have established, by rule, the standards required for admission to practice law and for the removal of practic ing attorneys. The Courts of the State of New York were given, by statute, the power and control over attorneys and counselors at law and were authorized to censure, suspend and remove attorneys.

Your Committee noted with interest the rules of practice in New York requiring all attorneys representing plaintiffs in personal injury suits to, not only file a copy of their fee contract with the Coordinating Committee on Dis cipline, but said attorneys are also required to file a statement of disbursements at the conclusion of said case. It was learned by your Committee that such reports were greatly beneficial in determining violations of ethics in the solici tation of claims.

With specific reference to the laws of the State of Georgia, your Committee recommends that Section 9-405 of the Code of Georgia be amended so as to pro hibit solicitation of business by attorneys. Your Committee feels that the present Code Section is too vague and indefinite and possibly does permit the solicitation of business, particularly corporate business, where claims or demands may be forthcoming months or years after solocitation of the client.
Your Committee feels that the solicitation of any business, whether the same be civil or criminal, or for the plaintiff or defendant, should not be per mitted.
Your Committee further recommends that those organizations now au thorized to make investigations contemplated by Section 9-406 of the Code be granted subpoena power by amendment to said Code Section.
Your Committee further recommends that Section 9-407 of the Code be amended so as to grant those organizations designated in said Section the power to bring disbarment proceedings in addition to those powers now granted by said Section.
Your Committee further recommends that Sections 9-501 through 9-519 of the Code of Georgia be repealed and that in lieu thereof legislation be enacted recognizing the power of the Supreme Court of Georgia to control the standards of conduct and practice, and disciplinary actions against attorneys at law by judicial order of that Court similar to the proposals outlined by the Georgia Bar Association in its Special Committee on Incorporation of the Bar.

Your Committee, in arriving at its conclusions and recommendations in this report, is cognizant of the fact that 23 professions and trades in Georgia have established self-governing organizations for the benefit of those persons in said organizations. These trades or professions include doctors, dentists, nurses, hair dressers, opticians, optometrists, pest control engineers, real estate salesmen, sanitarians, used car dealers and others. Your Committee is cognizant of the fact that 27 states have an organized or incorporated State Bar. Your Committee feels that such an organization in Georgia will be beneficial to the attorneys and would not deprive from them any of their present rights and liberties.

2182

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Your Committee notes with much interest that the General Assembly of Georgia has authorized the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia to provide by rule and regulation for the examination and admission to the Bar of persons making application therefor, yet the General Assembly has never granted the authority or recognized the inherent power of the Supreme Court to control any misconduct of attorneys once admitted to practice. Your Committee notes with interest that the Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia has recognized the inherent power to admit attorneys to the Bar and also to suspend and disbar them as officers of the Court.

Your Committee recognizes that, as officers of the Court, attorneys are quasi-public officials and their duties with respect to the conduct of their business must be considered in the light of the public interest as well as the proper ad ministration of justice.

Your Committee recognizes the inherent power of the Courts of this State to regulate and control the practice of law by attorneys admitted in this State and recommends that the General Assembly so recognize said powers by ap propriate legislation authorizing and requesting the Supreme Court of Georgia to exercise such powers by judicial order and rule.

Respectfully submitted,

EXHIBIT A
GEORGIA BAR ASSOCIATION
REPORT OF
SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON INCORPORATION OF THE BAR
The President of the Association appointed a special committee to study the question of whether the Georgia Bar Association should continue its efforts to bring about the establishment of a self-governing incorporated bar in this state. Historically, the Association, with the approval of the membership, has made several unsuccessful efforts to secure the passage by the General Assembly of legislation establishing a self-governing incorporated bar. However, after thorough study and consideration of every aspect of a self-governing incorporated bar, the committee feels that our past unsuccessful efforts are not indicative of

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2183

any lack of merit of such a proposal but rather have been due to a great deal of misunderstanding and misinformation among the lawyers and members of the General Assembly with respect to the purpose and ultimate benefits of a self-governing incorporated bar. We are convinced that the establishment of a self-governing incorporated bar in this state will be of inestimable benefit to the profession and to the public and that it will not take from any lawyer any of his fundamental rights or independence, but, on the contrary, will secure to the lawyers of this state a better opportunity to serve the public.

It is interesting to note that generally speaking in states wherein incorporated bars have been established, the legal profession, before it was finally successful, had the same struggle and experienced the same sort of setbacks and failures which we have experienced in undertaking to establish an incorporated bar in this state.

As an example of this, the voluntary state bar association in Wisconsin first introduced a Bill in the General Assembly of that state to establish a self-governing incorporated bar in 1935. While it passed the legislature, it was vetoed by the Lieutenant Governor who was exercising executive powers while the Governor was temporarily absent from the state. Similar Bills were intro duced in the legislature in 1937 and 1939 but both were defeated. Then again in 1940 a similar Bill was introduced, passed the House, but the General As sembly adjourned without the Senate considering the Bill. Then in 1943 another Bill was introduced and passed. It was vetoed by the acting governor of the state but was passed over his veto. However, the struggle of the profession could, through self-government and under supervision of the Supreme Court, better serve the public was not at an end. For the purpose of implementing the authorization contained in the legislative act through appropriate orders, rules and regulations of the Supreme Court, the bar association in 1943 pre sented a petition tc the Supreme Court for this purpose but the court, while recognizing in its decision its right, even independently of legislative authority, to incorporate the bar, nevertheless, declined to act at that time because so many lawyers were in the service and absent from the state. In 1945 another petition was presented for incorporation and on this occasion the court declined to in corporate the bar because it was not convinced that it was in the interest of the profession and the public and was of the further opinion that it would impose embarrasing administrative duties on the court.

However, undaunted, the Wisconsin Bar Association renewed its application to the Supreme Court and in 1956 the court entered an order incorporating the bar on a temporary basis for two years. Thereafter, at the end of the ex perimental period, the court, as will more fully hereinafter appear, was so well convinced of the great value of the incorporated bar to the public and to the profession, that in 1958 it entered an order permanently incorporating the bar.

In Oklahoma, an enabling act authorizing the Supreme Court to incorporate the bar was passed but was repealed by the legislature, before being acted on by the Supreme Court, but thereafter, in 1939, the court, upon a petition being presented to it, incorporated the bar under its inherent power over the judicial functions of the State.
In Missouri, several attempts were made through legislative action to in corporate the bar of that state without success, but in 1944 the court, upon

2184

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

application by the lawyers of that state, incorporated he bar under its inherent judicial powers.

The Florida bar was incorporated by the Supreme Court of that state under its inherent power to control and regulate the practice of law as a function of the judicial branch of the government. The Florida bar first began consideration of such a proposal as early as 1933 and filed a petition in the Supreme Court of that state in 1937 for incorporation but the court denied the application and it was not until that petition was renewed in 1948 hat the supreme Court, on June 7, 1949, granted the petition.

These examples might be multiplied but they illustrate the point which we wish to make and that is that our past unsuccessful experiences in this area are nothing new and that, through the examples of other states wherein a selfgoverning incorporated bar has been established, we should not give up our fight to gain the worthwhile objective both from the standpoint of the profes sion and the public of establishing an incorporated self-governing body in this state.

NATURE AND PURPOSE OF AN INCORPORATED SELF-COVERING BAR
An incorporated bar is an organization established either by legislative action or by judicial decision, or a combination of both, through which all lawyers in the state function to the end of regulating the practice of law, improving the legal profession and the administration of justice. Except for the fact that all of the lawyers in the state are considered to be a part of the organization, pay a license fee or dues to finance the activities of the organization and the fact that the organization is conducted according to rules laid down either by statute or rules of the Supreme Court or generally a combination of both, the in corporated bar functions much in the same fashion as a voluntary bar associa tion.
The purpose and mission of such an organization is to provide the means for collective effort and the achievement and accomplishment of those objectives and services which lawyers could never achieve or accomplish by individual effort but which, nevertheless, are the responsibilities of lawyers as members of the profession of law.
An incorporated bar is simply a recognition of the fact that lawyers are servants of the people as officers of the court in attending to the legal affairs of the members of the public and assisting the courts in the administration of justice and such an organization is designed to enable lawyers to adequately carry out their professional obligations to the public through such activities as carrying on continuing legal education programs to keep the standard of learn ing and proficiency of lawyers at the highest possible level, protecting the public against unauthorized practictioners and against lawyers who may prove themselves unworthy of their trust through the establishment and enforcement of ethical principles of conduct and the sponsoring of improvements in the ad ministration of justice.
It is to be kept in mind that while an incorporated bar greatly benefits the

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2185

legal profession, its basic justification lies in the fact that it greatly benefits the general public. In other words, as the legal profession benefits so does the public. Thus, it is not a movement of the legal profession absed upon selfish motives. As has been pointed out, through such an organization a lawyer is enabled to render increased beneficial services to the public. In its relations with the public, the bar has always been considered as a unit. The actions and sayings of individual lawyers reflect either credit or discredit on lawyers in the eyes of the public quite independent of any bar association affiliation. By the very nature of our profssion, the interest of all lawyers, members and nonmembers of associations alike, are inextricably woven together.

In an address made at the annual convention of the Florida Bar on May 7, 1960, J. Lewis Hall, Immediate Past President of the Florida Bar Associa tion, had this to say:
"In an older day, the concept of the duty and responsibility of the lawyer required only that he faithfully discharge his obligations to the individual client who sought his services; in this era of social conscious ness and social responsibility the new concept requires that the legal pro fession afford to the public and to society that guidance in legal affairs that can only be given through organized and coordinated effort.
"The responsibility of the profession to society transcends the duty of the individual to so conduct himself in relation to his duties and obliga tions that he commands the respect of those with whom he comes in contact; we must so conduct the affairs of our profession that we inspire confidence in the minds of the public in our ethical standards, and in our qualifica tions to discharge the responsibilities entrusted to us.
"As individual lawyers, we may strive for improvement in the ad ministration of justice, we may devote our energies to raising the stand ards of our profession, we may stand for the highest of ethical principles, but we can achieve but little without the organized and cooperative efforts of our brother practitioners.
"Thus, in essence, the purpose, the role and the mission of the or ganized bar is, through collective effort, to achieve those objectives, ac complish those purposes, and render those services which as individual practitioners we cannot achieve, accomplish and render. We therefore, as an organized bar, are dedicated to service to the profession, service in the improvements of the administration of justice and to service to the public.
"It is the role of the organized bar to speak for the profession, to give unity to its efforts, to conduct its relations with the public, and to enforce and make effective the ethical standards of the profession."
FLORIDA BAR JOURNAL, Vol. 34, No. 10, pp. 939-940.

We feel that this forcefully and accurately states the need for, and function of, an incorporated bar.

The defects of a voluntary bar association are many and well known. It has a limited number of members; limited financial resources so that services to the lawyers are relatively insignificant; a great deal of time, effort and funds must be used to try to increase the membership or even to prevent a decrease in membership; it is unable to effectively mobilize the bar as a. whole

2186

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

in support of desirable movements and it is unable to coordinate its activities with local bar associations. All of those disadvantages and others are corrected by an incorporated bar.

We also believe that it is true that in our past consideration of the in corporated bar too much emphasis has been put on the matter of discipline and too little emphasis has been put on the tremendous amount of service, help and assistance that an organized bar can be to the individual lawyers and to the profession. The establishment of ethical rules of conduct such as those which now govern the members of the American Bar Association and the Georgia Bar Association and of fair procedures not only through which the lawyers may exonerate themselves from unfounded charges of misconduct but through which lawyers who may be unfaithful to their trust and unworthy of serving the public can be effectively disciplined is a worthy and an essential objective of an incorporated bar. We do not believe the public has been overly impressed with our high sounding claim that lawyers occupy a peculiar position of trust, that public service is our main goal and that we are bound by a strict code of ethics. Nor do we think that the public will be impressed until, as a group, we are in a position to eliminate from the profession the small number of lawyers who do discredit to the profession as well as to discipline the few who willfully refuse to live up to the ethical standards we profess to follow. However, the matter of discipline, though important, is only one facet of the functions of an organized bar. The most important aspect of an incorporated bar is its ability to serve, help and assist the individual lawyers in their practice far beyond that which any voluntary bar can accomplish. This is brought about by the fact that instead of only a part of the lawyers of the state contributing to the expense of worthwhile activities, under an organized bar all lawyers contribute and as a result thereof the organized bar has adequate funds with which it can carry on an effective program of benefit to all lawyers.

Thus, the unification of the bar through incorporation, embracing all who propose to and who in fact actively engage in the practice of law in Georgia, will permit the organization to have adequate finances to carry on a program of merit to the benefit of the public and to the members of the legal profession.

When we examine the activities of incorporated bars in the other states, we find that they have outstanding prorgams of continuing legal education. This includes state wide and regional seminars, the development and taping- of talks and panel discussions on "bread and butter" subjects of vital interest to the lawyers for use by circuit and local bar associations, and the printing and dis semination of informative legal materials which are helpful and beneficial to the lawyer in his daily practice. For example, the State Bar of Florida is now spending in excess of $35,000.00 a year on its continuing legal education pro gram for the benefit of the Florida lawyer. While the bar of the State of Georgia is not as large as the bar of Florida, it is easily half as large and on this basis, if we were rendering the same service to the lawyers of this state as is the State Bar of Florida for the lawyers of that state, we would be spending in excess of $17,500.00 on a continuing legal education program, whereas, it has been difficult for us this year to squeeze out of our budget the sum of $1,200.00 to be allocated for this purpose.

We also find that incorporated bars in other states have acted to protect the profession and the public by being able to carry on a more vigorous and

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2187

positive campaign to eliminate unauthorized practice of law by corporations and laymen. In many of these states, the organized bar has employed a part or full time lawyer to thoroughly investigate instances of unauthorized practice of law and to institute actions to eliminate this evil. We are having to depend for pro tection in this important area on the voluntary efforts of members of the Asso ciation, and it is obvious that the public and the profession cannot be effectively protected in this fashion. It is also clear that if we had the resources with which to carry out an effective effort to eliminate even a part of the unauthorized practice of law by laymen and corporations that the legal profession's income would be increased by literally thousands of dollars. It has been proved in other states where incorporated bars exist that such an organization has resulted in increased income to the bar through expanded and effective public relations programs, through public services and through the promulgation of information advising of the value of legal services in given situations, in eliminating sub stantial areas of unauthorized practice of law as mentioned above, in improving the ability of the bar to serve the public in all areas of the practice and through countless other activities which such an organization can carry on for the benefit of the profession.

To mention this economic aspect of an incorporated bar is not to overlook the fact that our main duty and obligation should be to protect the public, but it is also true that if a strong and independent legal profession is in the public interest, and we believe that it is, then it is perfectly proper for us to strive to increase the income of the profession because unless the profession is economical ly healthy, there can be no strong and independent legal profession to serve the public.

An incorporated bar provides an organization which, through the operation of democratic processes of its members, can speak for the entire legal profession. Thus, the profession is better able to properly assert itself and exercise a degree of influence in matters of interest to the profession, which cannot be accomplished individually or by a voluntary organization such as the Georgia Bar Association.

It has also proved true in other states where incorporated bars exist that an incorporated bar serves to stimulate the interest by a greater number of lawyers in their profession and its welfare. It develops the idea that irrespective of where we practice, or the nature of our practice, that we are nevertheless members of the legal profession and we have the same privileges, problems, duties and responsibilities; and that the welfare of the profession is a matter of serious concern to every lawyer and to the public.
Fortunately, we do not have to speculate about the advantages of an in corporated bar for they have been fully and forcefully demonstrated by the many self-governing bars which have been established and are in operation throughout the United States. We need only profit by their example and if we have faith in ourselves, in our professional good will and integrity, we can do what other bars have done in this area.
The bar of the State of North Dakota was incorporated in the year 1921 and since that time 25 additional bars have been incorporated. The states hav ing incorporated bars are: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada,

2188

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

It is manifest that if such an organization was not of great benefit to the profession and to the public or that if it deprived lawyers of their independence or any of their fundamental rights that it would not have been gradually adopted over the years in 26 states of the Union.

It is significant that the arguments which have been made by a few law yers in this state against an incorporated bar are the same arguments which were used against such a plan in those states where the incorporation of the bar has been accomplished. These arguments are that an incorporated bar deprives the lawyer of his independence, and that he is forced to join and pay dues to an organization against his will which is compared to a union shop.

We do not feel that these arguments are sound.

Lawyers have definite duties to the court, to the public and to their profes sion. To be able to carry out these duties and responsibilities, lawyers must have some organization, and it is clear that for greater effectiveness it must be more than a partially supported voluntary association. Every lawyer should consider it his duty, as well as his privilege, to support an organization of his professional brethern dedicated to improving the legal profession and the administration of
justice. It is admittedly difficult to see how any lawyer could resent doing so. Such an organization is by no means equivalent to a union which a worker
is compelled to join in order to retain employment.

When a person becomes a lawyer, he automatically joins and becomes a memebr of the legal profession or of the bar as it is commonly referred to. As a member of the legal profession which he has voluntarily joined, he is entitled to the benefits of being a member but he is also subject to definite duties and responsibilities to his profession and to the public. The establishment of an organized bar does not require a lawyer to join anything, it simply recognizes
that he has already joined the legal profession and establishes an organization through which he and his fellow lawyers can collectively better perform their obligations to the legal profession and the public and to the expense of which all lawyers contribute equally.

No person has to become a lawyer. However, if one wishes to become a lawyer, he must first comply with certain minimum educational requirements, and pass a bar examination for which he pays a fee of $30.00. If it is sound to say that it is discriminatory and improper for a lawyer to be required to pay a license fee and to be subject to rules and regulations laid down by the legal profession through democratic processes and approved by the Supreme Court, then it would be just as sound to claim that if a person wishes to become a lawyer, it is discriminatory and improper to require him to satisfy minimum legal educational standards and to pass a bar examination and pay a fee there
for.

Once a person becomes a lawyer, he becomes an officer of the court and no one will doubt or dispute that he has large and peculiar responsibilities to the public. The incorporated bar is not intended to deprive him of his in-

dependence, but only to establish an effective method of seeing that lawyers do carry out their public responsibilities. A person does not have to drive an auto mobile, but if he elects to drive an automobile he must secure a license and pay a fee therefor. This is generally accepted as being perfectly proper and legal because it is in the public interest. It would therefore seem ridiculous to claim that there is anything improper in requiring a lawyer, if he wishes to practice, to pay a license fee which is to be used to improve his profession and to make it better fitted and qualified to carry out its public responsibility.

Illustrations might be multiplied but we believe that the foregoing illustrates the utter lack of merit or good faith in any claim that an incorporated bar can be compared to a union shop or a claim that a lawyer is being deprived of his individual liberties and independence by being required to pay a license fee in support of the improvement of his profession and its service to the public.

Of course, if by the use of the word "independence" is meant the right of a lawyer to be a law unto himself, to be bound by no standards of ethics, or if by "independence" it is meant that a lawyer has no responsibility to his pro fession, then an incorporated bar can be said to deprive him of his independence. However, in no other sense can this be true.

In the case of Goodland v. Zimmerman, 243, Wise. 459, 10, N. W. 2d 180, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin said:
"it is argued that Chapter 315, the first section of which makes mem bership in the Association to be known as the State Bar of Wisconsin a condition precedent to the right to practice law in Wisconsin, operates or may operate so as to deprive an attorney of his right to practice law and is therefore beyond the competency of the Legislature. Under the Act the conditions of membership are to be prescribed by the order of integration, what those conditions will be has not yet been disclosed, but assuming that failure to pay dues as prescribed by the order, operates to suspend an at torney's membership in the association, his delinquency is the cause of his suspension. He may comply with the order and continue his practice of the law at any time he chooses. Membership in most associations is made de pendent upon compliance with the conditions of membership, which usually in clude the payment of a small fee. The requirement of the payment of a small fee is as much the duty of a lawyer as it is the duty of a member of any other group which enjoys special privileges and has certain prerogatives under the law. No lawyer will be or can be suspended except as a conse quence of his own delinquency."

Our President has taken occasion to write to lawyers in states having in corporated bars asking them for their opinion as to the arvantages and dis advantages of an incorporated bar and has exhibited to us the replies which he has received and without exception lawyers in those states have written praising and highly recommending an incorporated bar as an organization of great bene fit both to the profession and to the public and have uniformly rejected the idea that such an organization works in any way to the detriment or the in dependence of any lawyer. Space will not permit our setting out all of these replies but extracts from some of the letters we believe will be of interest to the lawyers in this state in considering this important matter.

"I do not believe that our organization of the bar has in any way encroached upon the independence of the bar. . .
"It has been our experience that the organized bar has every advantage over a voluntary association. Not only has it proved advantageous to the bar but it has proved itself very advantageous to the public."
James J. Carter, President Alabama State Bar

"Having been admitted to practice in Arizona prior to the integration and incorporation of the bar in Arizona, I have some personal knowledge of the systems, as far as this state is concerned. It is my opinion that the integration and incorporation of the bar in Arizona has done more to solidify the bar and make it a cohesive unit than anything that could possibly have happened. Prior to its integration and incorporation, one did not really feel that he belonged to a state organization. Each of the counties had its own bar association, and its activities depended upon the interest of the members in each particular county, and in our county there was practically no in terest, and thus, our association amounted to practically nothing.
"It is also my opinion that due to the fact that we did not have an effective policing organization within our own ranks, the public as a whole did not have the confidence and respect, for the legal profession which they should have had, and which we, as lawyers, should do our best to acquire and preserve. . . .
"As far as I know, I have never met a lawyer in Arizona who ex pressed a desire to go back to the old method of handling the legal profession in the state. In other words, as far as I know, there is no criticism as to having an integrated and incorporated bar."
Martin Gentry, Attorney at Law Bisbee, Arizona

"As to the desirability of an integrated bar, I do not subscribe at all to those opponents of such a measure who maintain that there is any inter ference with the independence of the lawyer. I subscribe wholeheartedly to the view that such an organization can serve to prove to be an asset to the legal profession with consequent benefits to the public."
William B. Boggess, President Alaska Bar Association Fairbanks, Alaska

"We feel that there are many advantages that stem from our integrated bar . . .

"I do not understand in what way an integrated bar deprives the lawyers of their independence. Regarding the lawyers in Idaho, I would be willing to say that they are as independent as any professional group you can find in any of the 50 states. I find no limitation whatsoever on the expression of any individual lawyer's views of his right to urge and work for programs that he may believe in whether or not they may be endorsed by the bar association as a whole.
"As to the advantages, they are numerous."
Glenn A. Couglan, President Idaho State Bar Boise, Idaho

"In my experience and estimation an argument that an organized bar robs a lawyer of his independent is specious as are the companion arguments that it is not in the interest of the profession or the general public. In my experience no lawyer in these Western states, where the organizd bar has its gratest adherence, has ever expressed a willingness or desire to return to the somewhat ineffectual, if not chaotic, situation that existed under the voluntary type organization."
J. Blaine Anderson Attorney at Law Blackfoot, Idaho

"I have never heard any lawyer express a feeling that belonging to the bar association deprived anyone of their independence in carrying on the practice. On the other hand, I believe there would be a general complaint among all lawyers if an attempt should be made to return to the old vol untary membership program once in force in Kentucky. I believe your ex perience would be the same as ours."
James F. Clay Attorney at Law Danville, Kentucky

"My feeling is that the integrated bar, such as we have in Kentucky, is decidedly advantageous to the individual lawyer and to the legal profession as a whole. I also feel that it facilitates somewhat improved discipline and is, therefore valuable to the general public . . .
"I strongly recommend the integrated bar in each state. I feel that the profession as a whole will be derelict if it fails to establish an aggressive and militant organization to preserve and promote its interests on the na tional level as well as on the state and local levels."
John C. Lovett Attorney at Law Benton, Kentucky

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

"Having practiced some 25 years, I can only say that such an organiza tion does not in any way deprive a lawyer of his independence in the carry ing on of his practice.
"The benefits of such a bar association are so numerous and I will, therefore, only quote a few . . .
"Through our grievance procedures, checks and balances are effected upon those in the profession who are unscrupulous but at the same time it affords an attorney opportunity to vindicate himself from the accusations or actions of an unscrupulous client . . .
"From my point of view, the most valuable asset of an integrated bar is from an educational standpoint. We receive a monthly bulletin which keeps us up on all the new things happening in the legal profession and the bar itself is divided into sections so that if some individuals is interested in some small particular section he can subscribe thereto for a nominal fee and thereby be supplied with a monthly report on all federal and state cases applicable to that section as well as circuit court cases decided but not appealed as well as all current publications pertaining to that particular section.

"The lawyers in Mississippi have been highly pleased with the inte grated bar . . .

John T. Armstrong Attorney at Law Hazelhurst, Mississippi

"Initially, there was some opposition to the requirement that all lawyers in the State belong to the Mississippi State Bar. I am happy to report that the members who now object thereto can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
"There is absolutely no foundation to the belief that a unified bar deprives any lawyer of one whit of his independence. The only way, in my opinion, that this could be true would be in the matter of discipline and certainly no ethical lawyer can rightly raise any objection to strong dis ciplinary proceedings which inure not only to the benefit of each and every member of the bar, but certainly to the public as well . . .
"In your letter you asked me to give any comments which I might have on the disadvantages of a unified bar. Frankly, I can think of none.
"The advantages of a unified bar are many and varied. At first and probably foremost, I think that it is possible under a unified bar to get

2193

a continuing legal education program down to every individual lawyer. The advantages of this are, of course, obvious. These advantages are most im portant to the public, since the result is a better equipped bar to serve the public and the demands of justice.
"Second, the bar speaks with more force and dignity when it represents all the practitioners within the state. A voluntary bar can never speak with the authority that a unified bar has because those to whom it is speaking know that the unified bar represents all the lawyers as against the volun tary bar which represents only a part of the lawyers.
"The unified bar has procedures for ethical discipline within its own framework when discipline indicated is not sufficient to warrant suspension or disbarment. There is an official body from which ethical rulings may be sought with reference to certain procedures or conduct.
"I can not stress too heavily the fact that it is my personal opinion that the unified bar works tremendously to the advantage of the public and makes possible the better administration of justice."
C. Sidney Carlton, President Mississippi State Bar Sumner, Mississippi

"I think the association representing all of the lawyers in the state is very definitely beneficial. It means that all lawyers feel a part of the organization; the organization, for whatever activity it carries on, can feel that it is acting for and on behalf of all of the lawyers of the state; and all the lawyers help to carry the burden of the activities of the organized bar from a financial standpoint. I very definitely believe it is the obligation of the organized bar to attempt to keep the lawyers up to date through con tinuing legal functions; to help in the administration of justice by keeping abreast of the needed general changes in legislation in the state, and to give the individual lawyers a forum within which to be represented in con nection with the profession.

Jackson A. Wright, President

Mexico, Misouri

"When the suggestion was first made that the bar of this state be integrated there was, of course, opposition to it. Most of this opposition came from attorneys who feared the increased disciplinary powers pro vided for, but I think I am safe in sawing that few, if any, of the lawyers of Nebraska would willingly go back to the voluntary form of organization. With increased membership and increased dues, the association is able to engage in very many activities which were impossible under the former system, principally in the field of continuing legal education."

"As President of an integrated bar, I can assure you that the views of the opposition in your state to a similar organization are not valid, as, certainly, we here in this state have not sacrificed any of our independent but, to the contrary, we have found that our association has been of con stantly improving service to the members . . .
"We have found no disadvantages in our integrated bar. To the con trary, we have found many advantages, including principally, the interest which has been stimulated in all members of the bar in the single organiza tion and to which they all have the feeling of belonging."

"I have never felt that our bar set up an any way or manner deprived any of the lawyers of their independence or that it has done anything ex cept improve the general administration of justice in the State of Oklahoma.

This condition has totally failed to develop as far as I am concerned."

"We have a very active state bar association in Oklahoma.
"I have heard no complaints to the effect that lawyers have been de prived of their independence in carrying on their practice. So far as the public is concerned, the state organization seems to be well recognized and respected. This, of course, arises from the fact that such an organization can, through its public relations committee, disseminate information con cerning the practice of law to the general public, which individual lawyers could not do without being subjected to criticism for advertising ... I would express the unqualified opinion that an official, integrated bar is highly de sirable, both from the viewpoint of the legal profession as a whole and the general public."

"The Oregon bar has worked very well. The services of the association to the members have constantly increased and I think that our standing with the people, the legislature, and the course has constantly increased."

"In my humble judgment, the lawyers in any given state who refuse to become associated together in an integrated bar are fouling their own nest and are slowly decimating themselves and their profession.
"I am what is termed a 'country lawyer' practicing in a town of some 7500 people in the very north side of the state of Texas. I have never found that the integrated bar deprived me as a lawyer of any of my independence, but on the contrary, have found that it permitted me a great latitude in my actions in the practice of my profession, because I now generally know what I can do, what I ought to do, and I can do it better than I could when the bar was an old voluntary bar association.
"I do not believe that there are a handful of lawyers in Texas who would now seriously think of returning to the old voluntary association. Be fore the bar was integrated in Texas, there was no funds whatsoever, of any consequence which permitted the profession as a whole to advance its cause. Public relations was unheard of, institutes were rarely held, organizations were quite inactive, and the individual income of the lawyers as a whole were in a deplorable state. After some 22 years as an integrated bar, we in

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Texas, now find that we have an annual budget of some $250,000.00 which the lawyers gladly pay because out of that money the bar of Texas main tains a well-staffed office in Austin in a Texas Bar Building which cost a quarter of a million dollars and is a lawyer's home away from home; we have a general counsel who is the lawyer for all the lawyers in Texas; we have a Public Relations paid Director who sees to it that the lawyer's side of the issue is always before the public, and we have numerous active com mittees engaged in the work. All over Texas, and nearly every month, there is an institute where lawyers speak to groups upon matters which are of general interest in the profession, upon the bread-and-butter subject, and how to do the job . . . last year the lawyers of Texas, through a Committee of the State Bar, arrived at and published a minimum statewide fee schedule which is doing wonders to raise the economic level of lawyers as a whole. I earnestly do not believe that there would be the remotest chance that the lawyers of Texas would ever consent to have their association and work revert to the old voluntary association."
Buster Cole President-elect, State Bar of Texas Barnham, Texas

"Our bar was first integrated by legislative action in 1933. As I have been able to observe the operation of an integrated and un-integrated bar, I am appreciative of the foresight of the leaders of our bar in getting this important step taken care of so long ago. Since becoming an integrated bar we have found that our lawyers have supported its activities substantially better than before and we have heard no complaints about any of the mem bers of the bar being deprived of their independence."
James E. Faust President, Utah State Bar Salt Lake City, Utah

"I was admitted in Washington in 1934, the year following the incor poration of our bar, so I do not have the benefit of practical experience under the old setup, but know from the older lawyers that incorporation was the right step. I have never talked to any lawyer in 29 years who has voiced any desire to return to the old system. I definitely feel that it has in many respects improved the position of the lawyer and the legal profession as a whole, and it naturally follows that an improved profession is a benefit to the general public."

Our state bar is universally recog nized by the attorneys in this state as a useful and helpful organization. It has sponsored and promoted a great many projects helpful to the admini stration of justice on behalf of the bar.

"I believe that our organized bar has provided greater service for the individual lawyer in Wisconsin than has ever been the case before. While financial returns to the lawyer are certainly not the most important thing, these returns are something which each lawyer must necessarily consider, and I firmly believe that one accomplishment of the organized bar has been to assist lawyers in realizing more nearly what they are entitled to realize from their efforts."

"As a member of the Board of Governors of the voluntary bar of Wis consin some years ago, I was opposed to integration of the bar, and I voted in opposition thereto. We have had integration now for a number of years, and I have completely changed my position. I am 100% in favor of inte gration for several reasons: (a) discipline of the members has been im proved, (b) we have money to work with, and as a result the services ren dered by the State Bar to the attorneys in the state have increased tre mendously, (c) there are no longer any free riders, and (d) the economic condition of the lawyers has been bettered tremendously.

"I have been practicing law in Black River Palls since 1934. I have seen no differences in my relationship to the bar association or to my clients as the result of the integrated bar, except that the bar association has been able to give me many helps that it could not have done had not the bar been integrated. The voluntary bar association was supported by those who were interested, and did effective work in Wisconsin, but was very limited in its funds. Now all our members of the bar must support its work, and it does have funds with which to give us help in a very practical manner. One of the things that the bar has given to us is the Desk Book for Attorneys, in which there are many practical aids to the everyday practicing lawyer. I can name specifically, probate matters, real estate, title problems, auto mobile accident litigation, trial work, etc. During the year the bar associa tion has scheduled regional meetings throughout the state, in which there are very helpful panels with respect to these various everyday activities in the law office. Last year, the bar association assisted in the holding of three day sessions on estate planning, with some of the finest talent available to give counsel to those who were present. The large number who attended these sessions is in itself a testimonial to the effective work being done.

We have previously pointed out that originally the Supreme Court of Wis consin incorporated the bar of that state on a two-year trial basis and thereafter at the end of that time made the incorporation permanent. In doing so, the court said:
"Under integration the State Bar has increased its services to the lawyers of this state, promoted the high standards of the members of the profession, and increased its contribution to public service and to the ad ministration of law and justice. The state bar is in sound financial condi tion and its membership is greater in number than was reasonably expected. The acceptance of the integrated bar by its members and by the public dur ing these two years have been satisfactory . . . The objections and fears of the opponents of integration have not materialized. The arguments advanced for not continuing the integrated bar are the same or similar to the argu ments heretofore considered and disposed of by this court. None of them is grounded upon the experience of the last two years with the integrated bar which has functioned well and successfully. Perhaps this was to be expected. At the time of the integration of the bar there were 24 other states in which the bar had been integrated and no Supreme Court, to our knowldge, which integrated the bar of its state by rule of the court has found the integrated bar to be unworthy of its existence."
A past president of the Wisconsin State Bar, in an address at the Bar Presidents' Conference in Chicago in 1960, had this to say:
"Admittedly, there was some 'grousing' and complaints at the time of integration. A vigorous and noisy minority cried 'closed shop,' 'regimenta tion', and the like. Apparently this has been experienced in every state where integration has come about. I am pleased that it is rapidly dying out in

In Florida, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, bar incorporation was car ried out by a decision and order of the Supreme Court without any sort of en abling legislation, these decisions being based upon the well recognized principle of the inherent power of the judiqiary to regulate the practice of law.

In Louisiana, the Legislature passed an act which in effect simply requested the Supreme Court of that state, in the exercise of its inherent judicial powers, to create an association to be known as the Louisiana State Bar Association consisting of all persons legally licensed to practice law in the stat and that no person could practice law in the state who was not a member thereof in good standing and providing for the passage of rules and regulations by the court governing the organization and regulation of the practice of law.

The enabling act passed by the Wisconsin legislature simply provided that:
(1) There shall be an association to be known as the 'State Bar of Wisconsin' composed of persons licensed to practice law in this state, and membership in such association shall be a condition precedent to the right to practice law in Wisconsin.
(2) The Supreme Court, by appropriate order, shall provide for the organization and government of the association and shall define the rights, obligations and conditions of membership therein, to the end that such as sociation shall promote the public interest by maintaining high standards

of conduct in the legal profession and by aiding in efficient administration of justice."

In other states acts of incorporation have been enacted which deal in varying degrees with details as respects the government and powers of the in corporated bar.

In Kentucky, the act provided only for the adoption of rules by the Court of Appeals of that state defining the practice of law, prescribing a Code of Ethics, establishing practice and procedure for discipline, suspending and dis barring attorneys, organizing and governing a bar association of attorneys as an administrative agency of the court to enforce rules adopted by the court, pro viding for government of the state bar as a part of the judicial department, requiring all persons practicing law to be members in good standing of the state bar, and fixing the form of its organization and operation, fixing and making provisions for collection and disbursement of fees of lawyers and providing that rules of the court would supersede all laws in conflict therewith.

A somewhat similar act was passed in Michigan, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.

In still other states the act has dealt extensively with the government and powers of the incorporated Bar such as in California, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina and Oregon.

It is the opinion of the Committee that a more workable organization which will be in all respects reasonable and fair to all lawyers of the state can best be developed through rules and regulations established by the Supreme Court with the assistance and recommendation of the bar association and that it would therefore be best to seek from the Legislature simply an enabling act autho rizing the court to incorporate the Bar and establish rules and regulations gov erning the incorporated Bar and matters relating to the practice of law. We are confident that the Supreme Court of this State is interested in the welfare of the legal profession and improving the administration of justice through proper and fair regulations of the practice of law as well as being interested in safeguarding the privileges and rights of each individual lawyer and that an organization worked out in this fashion will be in the best interest of the pro fession.
We feel that the Georgia Bar Association as it now exists should be kept in existence with nominal dues for its members with the view that the Georgia Bar Association would handle all social functions of the membership.

In view of the foregoing, we unreservedly recommend the following to the Board of Governors of the Georgia Bar Association:
(1.) That the Association introduce in the coming General Assembly a Bill for the incorporation of the Bar of this state:
(2.) That the Bill be to be introduced be in substantially the follow ing form:
"That the Supreme Court of this state shall be authorized to establish an incorporated self-governing bar association to be known as the 'State Bar

of Georgia' composed of persons licensed to practice law in this state, mem bership in such association to be a condition precedent to the right to practice law in Georgia.
"The Supreme Court shall have the authority by appropriate orders to provide for the organization and government of the Association and to define the rights, obligations and conditions of membership therein and otherwise regulate the practice of law in this state, to the end that such Association shall promote the best interest of the public by maintaining high standards of conduct in the legal profession and by aiding in the ef ficient administration of justice.
"The rules of the court adopted and promulgated under this act shall supersede all laws or parts of laws in conflict therewith, to the extent of the conflict.
"Upon the presentation of a petition by the Georgia Bar Association to the Supreme Court for the incorporation of the Bar, the Association shall, as soon thereafter as may be ordered by the court, submit to that court proposed rules and regulations for the government of the incorporated bar and the practice of law in this state and a copy of said application for in corporation, together with said proposed rules and regulations, shall be furnished to each member of the Georgia Bar Association and shall be made available to lawyers licensed to practice law in this state who are not mem bers of the Georgia Bar Association. The Supreme Court shall set down for public hearing the matter of the granting of the application for incorpora tion of the Bar and the adoption of such proposed rules and regulations and any lawyer or other person interested may appear in person or by brief either for the purpose of supporting or opposing the incorporation of the Bar or supporting, opposing or urging changes in the proposed rules and regu lations.
"After adoption of the initial rules and regulations governing the incor porated bar the same may be amended upon recommendations of the govern ing Board of the incorporated Bar under such rules and proceedings as shall be prescribed by the Court."
(3.) That in the event that the Legislature fails to pass legislation authorizing the incorporation of the Bar, the officers of the Association upon adoption of proposed rules by the Board of Governors, shall be autho rized to file an application with the Supreme Court for the incorporation of the Bar under its inherent judicial powers.

In conclusion, we would point out that the success of any further effort to bring about the incorporation of the Bar of this state must of necessity depend upon the support of a majority of the lawyers in this state. If a majority of the lawyers of this state are opposed to it we are sure that we can expect failure and properly so. However, the Committee firmly believes that a majority of lawyers in this state fully understand and support an incorporated Bar. In all events we feel certain that if the lawyers of this state are fully informed about the purpose, operation and desirability of an incorporated Bar, that they will overwhelmingly support it. Hence, it is the Committee's suggestion that copy of this report be immediately mailed to each member of the Association and that it be made available to any lawyers who are not members of the Association. We further urge that officers of the Association arrange to meet with circuit bar

groups in order to bring about a full understanding by the lawyers of the nature and purpose of an incorporated bar.

If the Board of Governors approves this report, the Committee will prepare a general analysis of the governing rules and regulations of other incorporated bars for distribution to the Board of Governors at the Midyear Meeting of the Association in Atlanta and also for distribution to the membership so that the members of the Association will be well informed as to the setup and operation of existing incorporated bars.

SPECIAL CONCURRENCE:

I agree with all of the recommendations of the majority of the committee except the recommendation that Sections 9-501 throught 9-519 of the Code of Georgia be repealed and that in lieu thereof legislation be enacted recognizing the power of the Supreme Court of Georgia to control the standards of conduct and practice and disciplinary actions against attorneys at law by judicial order of that Court similar to the proposals outlined by the Georgia Bar Association in its Special Committee on Incorporation of the Bar. While I do believe that an incorporated Bar has advantages for the profession and the public over and above an unincorporated Bar, I feel strongly that any legislation passed to in corporate the Bar of Georgia should include disciplinary measures and proce dure, standards of conduct and practice and all other measures and regulations governing the practice of the legal profession. The power to adopt such rules, regulations and standards should not be delegated by the legislature to any other group, including the Supreme Court.

REPORT OF HOUSE COMMITTEE CREATED BY H. R. 721 TO INVESTIGATE THE UNAUTHORIZED PRACTICE OF LAW
INTRODUCTION
The House Committee authorized to investigate the unauthorized practice of law was created by House Resolution 721 adopted at the 1962 session of the General Assembly of Georgia. The Speaker appointed as members of the Commit tee, Representatives Thomas B. Murphy, Haralson County; J. Taylor Phillips,

2204

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Bibb County; Harry Mixon, Irwin County; Handsel Morgan, Gwinnett County; and Dorsey R. Matthews, Colquitt County. At the organizational meeting Rep resentative Murphy was elected Chairman and Representative Phillips, Secre tary. Meetings have been held in Columbus, Georgia, with the Board of Gover nors of the Georgia Bar Association and in Atlanta. Some of those who testified before the Committee were Mr. Ed Barham, Chairman of the Georgia Bar Asso ciation, Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee; Mr. Holcombe Perry, Presi
dent, Georgia Bar Association; Honorable Stephens Mitchell of the Atlanta Bar; Honorable William Schloth and Honorable S. Gus Jones, a member of the Com mittee on Unauthorized Practice of Law for the Georgia Bar Association. Those testifying in Atlanta were Mr. William G. Grant, Attorney for the Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation and Mr. John Matthews, State Manager of the Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation.

The Committee has diligently studied the various Georgia Code Sections and the case law regarding the unauthorized practice of law and the general practice of law in Georgia. Georgia Code Section 9-401 which defines the practice of law has been compared with definitions of law practice in most of the other states. After a sifting examination of the laws of Maryland, Minnesota, Missis sippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Carolina, Ala bama, Alaska, Kentucky, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, from Code Sections of those states which were compiled by the Legislative Counsel's Office, the committee feels compelled to make the recommendations embodied in this report.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The Committee recommends that Code Section 9-401 be amended to read as follows:
"9-401. Practice of law defined.--The practice of law in this State is defined as representing litigants in court and the preparation of pleadings and other papers incident to any action or special proceedings, in any court or other judicial body; conveyancing; the preparation of legal instruments of all kinds whereby a legal right is secured; the rendering of opinions as to the validity or invalidity of titles to real or personal property; the giving of any legal advice; and any action taken for others in any matter connected with the law. But nothing herein shall prevent any person not holding him self out as a practicing attorney from drawing any instrument to which he is a party without consideration unto himself therefor."
2. The Committee recommends that an Act be passed which will require any person who drafts a document which is to be filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court to place the name of such person on the document. A suggested section herein set out as follows:
"No Superior Court clerk shall receive, or permit the recording of any instrument by which the title to real estate or personal property, or any interest therein, or lien thereon, is conveyed, granted, encumbered, assigned, or otherwise disposed of; nor receive any instrument, or permit any instru ment, provided by law, to be recorded as evidence of title to real estate; and shall not receive, or permit any instrument, relating to the organization or dissolution of a private corporation, unless such instrument has endorsed on it, a printed, type-written or stamped statement showing the name and

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2205

address of the individual who prepared the instrument, and such statement is signed by such individual."

3. The Committee recommends that legal processes which appear to be issued from courts, but instead are issued by creditors and sent to debtors either through the mail or delivered personally, be eliminated. While the committee has no specific wording of a statute, we recommend that a statute similar to the Texas statute be introduced with changes to comply with the Georgia situation so that simulated legal processes may be eliminated in this State. The Commit tee attaches a copy of the Texas Act labeled as Exhibit 1.

In the Committee's investigation the Committee recognizes that there are presently many acts of unauthorized practice of law in the State of Georgia, and that they are contrary to the public good and a detriment to the public in general, and this Committee feels that the adoption of the above recommenda tions by appropriate legislation will eliminate these practices.

Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF THE INTERIM COMMITTEE FOR MENTAL RETARDATION (S. R. No. 163, 1962 Session of the General Assembly)

THE COMMITTEE

Honorable J. Floyd Harrington Senator, 20th District Chairman

Honorable W. C. Long Senator, 3rd District Vice-Chairman

Honorable E. Mullins Whisnant Senator, 25th District Secretary

Honorable Gaston V. Green Senator, 44th District

Honorable Harry C. Jackson Senator, 24th District

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2207

The Interim Committee for Mental Retardation was created by Senate Res olution No. 163 for the purpose of making a study of the problem faced in Geor gia in the field of mental retardation and to make a comparative analysis of what other states were doing to correct the problem that confronts our State.

The following Senators were appointed by the President of the Senate:
Honorable Gaston V. Green Senator, 44th District Honorable J. Floyd Harrington Senator, 20th District Honorable Harry C. Jackson Senator, 24th District Honorable W. C. Long Senator, 3rd District Honorable E. Mullins Whisnant Senator, 25th District

The Committee was duly organized with Senator J. Floyd Harrington as Chairman, Senator W. C. Long, Vice-Chairman and Senator Mullins Whisnant, Secretary.
For many years The Gracewood State School and Hospital has had more applications for admission than they have space and facilities. The result being that at present there is a waiting list of over 1200 mentally retarded children seeking admission to this State Institution. There are also over 100 children at the Milledgeville State Hospital that should be transferred to Gracewood. In addition to the above retarded children which have been brought to the atten tion of our institution, there are countless others in our State who desperately need attention.
The Committee began its work by holding meetings with the following State officials:
Dr. John H. Venable, Director, Department of Public Health
Dr. Norman B. Pursley, Superintendent of The Gracewood State School and Hospital
Dr. Mamie Jo Jones, Co-ordinator, Services for Exceptional Children
Georgia Association for Mental Retardation
Georgia Council on Mental Retardation
After discussions with the above mentioned individuals and organizations, the Committee determined that the greatest need is an additional facility similar to Gracewood located in another area of the State. However, realizing the financial position of the State, we concluded that this would be a long range program requiring from three to four years to complete.
With the sincere desire to offer a program that could be started earlier and at the same time not interfere with any plan to construct a new State facility, the Committee began to consider other programs that the State could participate in.

2208

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

After careful consideration of this problem, the Committee decided to study the possibility of State supported Day Care Centers. This type of treatment is not new in the State of Georgia. At the present time there are a number of Day Care Centers within the State which are doing an excellent job. However, the ones that are in operation are totally financed by parent groups and other local community agencies. It is the feeling of this Committee that the present Day Care Centers located in the State are rendering a real service to our retarded children although severally handicapped by the lack of adequate financing and professional guidance and support. They are indirectly rendering a service to the State of Georgia in that they are keeping retarded children from being institutionalized since most of these children are the type children that the families find necessary to institutionalize. The Committee feels that if the State furnished financial and professional aid to these Day Centers that the program would be expanded to aid an even greater number of retarded children and would thus alleviate the long waiting list at the Gracewood Institution.

Again conferring with proper State officials it was decided by the Commit tee that we visit the states of Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware to study their program of State supported Day Care Centers, since they are recognized as the leaders in this field.

The Committee visited several Day Care Centers in each of the above states and found them to be doing an exceptional job with the children enrolled in these Centers. The officials of the states visited were every enthusiastic about their Day Care Center Programs and stated although most of these State programs were relatively new, they felt that a service was being rendered at a financial saving as it relates to total institutional type care.

They pointed out the following advantages of Day Care Centers as related to total institutional care:
(1.) Mentally retarded children are receiving better care, treatment and training in Day Care Centers due to more individualized attention.
(2.) Day Care Center Programs reduce the number of mentally retarded children making application for total institutional care.
(3.) Cost of operation of Day Care Centers is considerably less per pa tient than total institutional care.
(4.) Day Care Center Programs enable the parents to keep the family unit intact.

The Committee found that the State of Connecticut has a Day Care Pro gram where the State furnishes up to 50 per cent of the cost of operating Day Care Centers. Under this Program the State contracts with any local non-profit organization operating the Center and sets up standards which must be met before the organization is entitled to financial aid from the State. In addition to financial assistance, the State also provides professional guidance and direc tion to such centers.

The Committee was very favorably impressed with the cooperation between the State and the local community agencies found in the State of Connecticut.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2209

The State of Delaware assumes the total cost of its Day Care Center Pro gram and it is the Committee's understanding that this is the only state which assumes the entire cost of the program. The State officials in charge of the Delaware Program stated to this Committee that the cost of their Day Care Program was approximately one-half of the cost of total institutional care.

The Committee visited in the State of Pennsylvania the Wood School which is a Private Residence Institution for care, treatment and training of mentally retarded children and adults. This institution is recognized as one of the lead ing private institutions of this kind in the United States. The majority of the training and treatment methods employed at this institution, where the annual per capita cost is approximately $6,000 per year, are similar to the type treat ment, training and care we observed at Day Care Centers.

After discussing our findings with the officials of the various State De partments who are charged with the responsibility of rendering service to the mentally retarded children and adults in our State, this Committee makes the following recommendations :
(1.) That enabling legislation be enacted during the 1963 Session of the General Assembly authorizing the Georgia State Department of Public Health to contract with any local non-profit organizations operating and maintaining a Day Care Center for the purposes of furnishing financial aid not to exceed 50 per cent of the cost of operation, professional guidance and direction and promulgating rules and regulations governing such Day Care Center.
(2.) To include in the General Appropriations Act for the fiscal year 1963-64, an appropriation in the amount of $50,000 to the Georgia Department of Public Health to be used jointly by said Department and the State Depart ment of Education for the purpose of conducting a survey and training program for personnel for Day Care Centers.
(3.) To include in the General Appropriations Act for the fiscal year 1964-65, an appropriation in the amount of not less than $400,000 to initiate this program.
(4.) Initiate plans to construct an additional institution similar to Gracewood.
(5.) That a Committee be created by the 1963 General Assembly to con tinue the study and investigation relative to locating a site for such additional institution and to continue the efforts and recommendations set forth in this report.

The Committee is indebted to the following persons and organizations for their assistance:
Dr. John H. Venable, Director, Department of Public Health
Dr. Norman B. Pursley, Superintendent of The Gracewood State School and Hospital
Dr. Mamie Jo Jones, Co-ordinator, Services for Exceptional Children
Georgia Association for Mental Retardation
Georgia Council on Mental Retardation

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The Committee would especially like to commend Dr. Norman B. Pursley, Superintendent of The Gracewood State School and Hospital, for the outstand ing job that he is performing as Superintendent of this School and for his un tiring efforts in behalf of the mentally retarded in this State. The Committee is deeply grateful to Dr. Pursley for the professional guidance given to this Committee and for his time and effort spent in meeting and traveling with this Committee.

COMMITTEE REPORT CREATED BY HOUSE RULE NO. 436 TO ASSIST IN LOCATING NEW STATE INSTITUTION FOR MENTALLY RETARDED
The Committee met in Augusta on Sunday afternoon, July 15, 1962, in preparation for leaving on Monday on a trip which had been arranged by Dr. Norman B. Pursley, Superintendent, Gracewood State School and Hospital.
Committee members were Talmage B. Echols, Representative, Upson County Corbin C. Roberts, Representative, Jones County, Emory L. Rowland, Repre sentative, Johnson County, and Arthur K. Bolton, Representative, Spalding Coun ty, Chairman of the Committee.
On Monday morning we met at Gracewood for a briefing session by Dr. Pursley and members of his staff. At the request of the Committee, Dr. James Clements and Mr. John N. McFarland, psychologist, both of the Gracewood staff, along with Dr. Pursley accompanied the Committee on its tour of institu tions similar to Gracewood.
On Monday we visited Whitton Village, Clinton, South Carolina, and were most graciously received by Dr. B. O. Whitton, Superintendent of the institu tion. After a detailed discussion of the problems confronting he and members of his staff, Dr. Whitton, showed the Committee members and members of the staff of Gracewood around the grounds of Whitton Village and permitted us to view several cottages.
Following our visit to Whitton Village, we went to Murdock State School,

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2211

Butner, North Carolina, and although Dr. Jim Elliott, Superintendent, was not present, Dr. Larry Kroner, arranged for us to visit the institution and was most cordial to the Committee members and members of the staff of Gracewood. We had extensive discussions with Dr. Kroner and members of the staff and were shown throughout many of the buildings at the School and were also shown some buildings which were in the process of being completed.

The last institution visited was the Green Valley State School and Hospital, Greenville, Tennessee, where Dr. John Wilson, Superintendent conducted us on a tour of this institution.

In order to keep the Committee report as brief as possible, we are not go ing into detail as to the various observations which we observed at the Institu tions visited, but will use the composite of our observations in this Committee report in order to present the views of this Committee as to the need, location and type of structure similar to Gracewood which should be undertaken by the State of Georgia.

Therefore, based on our observations, and the observations which we made at previous visits to our own State facility, Gracewood State School and Hos pital, this Committee makes the following recommendations to the next session, 1963, of the Georgia General Assembly:
1. We believe that it is imperative that immediate steps be taken in the 1963 session of the General Assembly for the construction of a facility similar to Gracewood, with emphasis on outpatient treatment and training of physicians, public health personnel and parents of the retarded patients to the end that these patients will be better understood and therefore receive better care and treatment at home. This, not only would mean better treatment and care of the retarded patient, but lessen the load on state institutions. Provisions therefore should be made in the next General Appropriations Act. This recommendation is based on the following:
(a) There are now approximately 1100 people on the waiting list at Gracewood, and the obvious fact exists that this waiting list will become larger from day to day, week to week, month to month and year to year.
(b) To permit the Gracewood facility to become larger, would result in an administrative monstrosity, loss of the personal relationship between the staff and the personnel at the lower echelon, exhaust the availability of qualified per sonnel in the Augusta area and be contrary to all lessons which have been learned by other states of similar population and similar problems.
(c) Gracewood State School and Hospital is already extremely overcrowded at the present time and because of this fact it is impossible to separate entirely the complete hospital patient, patients of low-grade and medium-grade intel ligence, and patients who are considered trainable into as small a group as is considered necessary for most effective training and care. We further recom mend that the new Gracewood facility be located within a maximum of a twenty to thirty minute drive of Atlanta, Georgia, for the following reasons:
(1) This represents one of the most densely populated areas of our State and would permit parents and relatives to visit patients more often and to take them home for visits. In many cases this family relationship is the best possible therapy.

2212

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

(2) This is the only other medical center having a medical college in the State of Georgia at the present time and this is not only desirable but abso lutely essential if the institution is to carry all types of mentally retarded paients.
(3) Because of the heavy center of population and the medical facilities available, doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and other specialized per sonnel would be more readily available to be used by the institution.
(4) Service personnel generally would be more readily available in this vicinity and facilities and conditions for training them to work in an institution such as Gracewood would be easier.
(5) Being contiguous to a Metropolitan center will also promote enter tainment, care and loving attention by many interested individuals and organized groups such as civic clubs, church groups and others interested in care and treat ment of retarded patients.
(6) It is essential that adequate utilities be available for an institution of this type especially a copious supply of water and adequate sewerage disposal, as it is hard for the average person to imagine the requirements for water and sewerage disposal at an institution of this type.

This Committee believes, after observation of the various institutions which we visited, that a site of 100 to 200 acres would be entirely adequate for the needed Facility, and this will take care of the needs of this institution for many years to come. We further believe that it is essential, in order to avoid mistakes which have been made heretofore by many of our sister states, that the key personnel for the proposed institution be employed immediately after the site is secured in order that they and the present capable Superintendent and key personnel of Gracewood may take part in the initial planning of the institution which they are to administer.

It is the opinion of this Committee that the responsibility upon the con science of the people of Georgia for the care of the mentally retarded will become greater, and that only through an enlightened and ambitious program can the State resolve this problem to the extent that it is capable of solution. It has been affirmatively demonstrated that an intelligent approach to the problem enables a hospital and school such as Gracewood to return a significant number of the patients to society where they can perform and function as individuals within the sphere of their limitations, and that other patients, although they would never be capable of handling themselves alone, through instructions and guidance to the parents, can be kept out of institutions such as Gracewood.

This Committee notes in passing, that, apparently, it is just as essential to educate members of the medical profession to the fact that many patients can be cared for adequately at home by their parents, with proper assistance and guidance, as it is to educate the general public.
Based on our study and findings, we recommend that there be included in the 1963 appropriation Bill of the General Assembly an appropriation of not less than $250,000.00 for the following purposes:
(a) Acquiring site and acquisition cost.
(b) Preliminary engineering and architect fees.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2213

(c) Staff and consultant personnel for planning institution.
(d) Other expense relating to acquisition and planning for institution.
With the prospect of securing the facility herein mentioned, some of the Communities within the designated area may be willing to offer a suitable site for this institution. We further recommend that the appropriation for the fiscal year July 1, 1964, through June 30, 1965, contain an appropriation of at least $4,645,000.00 for the purpose of initiating the building program. The initial out-lay will be extremely heavy as overall utility planning and a major portion of utility construction should be accomplished in the first phase for a total planned facility of 1,000 beds. This will enable the Health Department to contract for the necessary construction over the two-year period. Under State law they cannot enter into contract for facilities unless they have money appropriated by the General Assembly. At the present time the best estimate of the total cost for a 1,000 bed institution amounts to approximately $10,000,000.00, and further appropriations should be made by subsequent General Assemblies to continue the expansion of the facilities within the above limits. We recommend that all at tempts be made to secure financial assistance from the Federal Government in this project and that additional appropriations be made available to the Depart ment of Public Health for the operation of this facility, which cannot be properly estimated at this time, in future appropriation Bills which would permit them to operate same at a level to ensure proper treatment for all patients.

This Committee is deeply indebted to Dr. John H. Venable, director Georgia Department of Public Health, Dr. Norman B. Pursley, Dr. James Clements and Mr. John N. McParland for the assistance which they have given us and for their untiring efforts in attempting to help us explore all possibilities for the building of a new facility. Were it not for the utter devotion and self-sacrifice made by the above members of the staff of Gracewood, and other members too numerous to mention in this report, we fear that the degree of care which is so evident at Gracewood, would not be present. In passing, we would also like to state that, although we visited some institutions with better physical facilities than those at Gracewood, we did not, at any institution, find the degree of clean liness, espirit de corps among the personnel, attention to small detail and patient welfare as we found at Gracewood State School and Hospital, and this Committee states unqualifiedly that the citizens of Georgia should be extremely proud of the Gracewood State School and Hospital and the fine work which is being done at this institution on a most limited and inadequate budget.

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL STUDY COMMITTEE

Pursuant to Resolution No. 265 (HR 459-922) of the 1962 Session of the General Assembly, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A, your Municipal Study Committee was appointed and organized. The President appointed the fol lowing members from the Senate: Senator Charlie Brown, 34th District, Senator Hugh McWhorter, 43rd District. The Speaker appointed the following members from the House: Representative Hines L. Brantley, Candler County, Represent ative Mac Pickard, Muscogee County; Representative Fred Walker, Lowndes County, Representative Mac Pickard was elected Chairman, and Representative Fred Walker was elected Secretary at the organizational meeting held on October 26, 1962.

Scope of Committee Activities
Under Resolution No. 265, the Municipal Study Committee was given a very broad area of investigation into the field of municipal government. At the or ganizational meeting the committee was extended an invitation by Mr. Elmer George, Executive Director of the Georgia Municipal Association, to meet with the Board of Directors of that Association in order to get an insight into some of the collective problems and programs of municipalities. The Committee met with the Municipal Association Board of Directors on November 14, 1962, and after hearing a discussion of the more extreme problems facing municipalities as expressed by this group which represents a majority of the municipalities of the State, the Committee concluded that a public hearing was indicated in order that they might have the benefit of the testimony of all interested parties.
It was obvious from the testimony presented at the public hearing and from the comments of the Municipal Association Board of Directors that time would require the Committee to confine its investigation and recommendations to the more critical areas of need in municipal government. Therefore, the Committee's attention was directed to the following specific questions which were considered to be the most urgent:
(1) The sharing of State-collected taxes with municipalities;
(2) The adjustment of municipal boundaries;
(3) The original incorporation of municipalities; and
'(4) The relationship of municipalities to certain State agencies.

FINDINGS
General
From the investigations of the Committee and from testimony received from persons in all levels of municipal government, several very general observations could be made. First, for the first time in the history of our State the 1960 census revealed that a majority (54.1%) of the citizens of our State now live inside the boundaries of the incorporated municipalities, and, in addition, a great per centage of the remaining population is located in densely populated areas adjacent

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2215

or contiguous to municipalities and are depending upon, or at least utilizing, the services and facilities of such municipalities. These facts justify a general find ing that more detailed attention must be given to municipal problems by the General Assembly in order that the needs of a majority of our citizens can be adequately met in an economical and efficient manner at the local level. It is also concluded that if the tax dollar is to be applied most productively, the shift in population and the consequent shifting of responsibility for governmental services to the municipal governments of cur State must be considered in the allocation of tax sources and State-collected tax funds. Further, it is obvious that many of the functions of the municipal government which in the past have been ac complished under authority of special legislation shotild be studied in the light of present conditions, and that legislation establishing general standards and principles applicable to all municipalities having similar situations and problems should be developed.

The following specific findings are made by the Committee regarding the problems considered in detail:
(1) Financial: The Committee finds that under the present tax sources to which municipalities are relegated that certain State-collected taxes should be rebated to municipalities to aid in meeting the demands of those citizens with in incorporated municipalities and those living adjacent thereto who utilize the municipal facilities. More particularly, municipalities should continue to receive grants for traffic control and street work in accordance with the Act of 1962 providing therefor. Though the Committee feels that the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) made available for this purpose in 1962 does not provide adequate assistance in this area, no specific recommendations for a greater amount will be made as it is felt that this can better be determined by the respective committees on appropriations.
(2) Municipal Boundary Adjustment: The Committee finds that general legislation establishing legislative standards and additional procedures for an nexing adjacent areas to municipalities under certain conditions is urgently needed. At the present time, annexation is accomplished by special act of the Gen eral Assembly, without any guidelines or standards by which to measure any specific proposal, either from the standpoint of what is in the best interest of the municipality or what is in the best interest of the people in the unin corporated area, or from the standpoint of what is in the best interest of the State as a whole in the administration of local governmental services. The result is that annexation of territory to municipalities has been strictly a political question with the local legislative delegation usually caught between two factions. Under the present system, planning for the expansion of local governmental services to municipal growth areas is, in most cases, impossible and costly com peting services result in many cases. On the other hand, in some cases it is possible for municipalities to annex territory which is not urban in character, and without guaranteeing basic municipal services to the citizens in the annexed area. Presently, the only general law applicable to municipal boundary adjust ment is one enacted in 1962 authorizing annexation of territory upon the written application of all of the property owners in the affected area. The Committee finds that the lack of any general standard or procedure for the adjustment of municipal boundaries is contrary to the best interest of the State as a whole in promoting the orderly growth and progress of the State in a time of transi tion of a majority of cur population from rural to urban. Legislation in this regard should be designed to provide for the orderly expansion of municipal boundaries to include adjacent areas which ure urban in character and which

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

are economically, geographically and socially a part of the municipality, but only with adequate guarantees that municipal services will be furnished to the new area in the same manner as they are being furnished in the rest of the municipality, and with adequate provision for judicial review to protect the rights of affected citizens. Such legislation should be cumulative and should not affect the present methods of annexing territory by special act or upon the application of all property owners affected.

(3) Original Municipal Incorporation: Presently original municipal char ters are granted by the General Assembly by special act without any guiding standards or requirements as to population or character of the areas to be incorporated. Consequently, there are dozens of inactive municipalities who still have charters, many municipalities who arc directly adjacent to one another, and municipalities whose boundaries include more agricultural or vacant land than developed land. This situation makes it extremely difficult to enact general legislation application to all municipalities or to adequately define municipal functions and responsibilities. Georgia is one of a very few States which does not have at least some minimum required standards for original incorporation, and the Committee finds that at least such minimum standards as would insure that basic municipal government and services are in fact required or needed, is urgent if all municipalities are to be granted the authority and freedom of action to adequately accomplish the basic municipal functions for our State.

(4) The Relationship of Municipalities to Certain State Agencies: The Committee feels that the relationship of municipalities to other governmental units and agencies of the State should be continuously studied. One specific finding of the Committee is that the Highway Board should be allowed to ne gotiate contracts directly with municipalities who are equipped to perform high way work within their limits. Such authority would be permissive only, with discretion remaining in the Highway Board as is now the case in contracts negotiated with county governments.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The Committee recommends:
(1) That additional financial aid to municipalities from State-collected taxes for traffic control and street work be given serious consideration by the respective appropriation committees of the House and Senate.
(2) That municipal boundary adjustment Bills, substantially as proposed in Exhibits "B" and "C", establishing standards and procedures for adjusting municipal boundaries be enacted at the 1963 Session of the General Assembly.
(3) That a Bill, substantially as proposed by Exhibit "D", requiring minimum standards for original incorporations of municipalities be enacted at the 1963 Session of the General Assembly.
(4) That Code 95-1630 be amended to authorize the Highway Board to negotiate contracts directly with incorporated municipalities.
(5) That the joint Municipal Study Committee be continued to further

COMMITTEE REPORT ON NATURAL AREAS (SR161)
BACKGROUND
In March 1961, Honorable Dan Hart, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources received a letter written by Dr. Charles H. Wharton, Professor of Biology at Georgia State College and Georgia Rep resentative of the Nature Conservancy. Dr. Wharton had recently met with a select group of scientists, educators and youth directors, and the letter to Senator Hart was the outcome of their discussions.
The letter expressed deep concern about what is happening to that which remains of Georgia's great natural heritage. Specifically it asked help to find a means "to list, select, acquire, preserve and manage areas in the state deemed of outstanding aesthetic, topographical, geological or biological value; or im portant for education in the school systems of the state; or necessary for scien tific research; or for the preservation of rare or valuable plant and animal species, and to foster and aid in the preservation of natural conditions elsewhere than in natural areas so established."
Chairman Hart showed the letter to a member of the committee, Senator Zell Miller, and Senator Miller voluntarily agreed to meet with Dr. Wharton to discuss what could be done. On several occasions during the summer and fall of 1961 Senator Miller, unofficially and voluntarily, discussed this problem with Dr. Wharton and other interested educators by letter and in person.
During the session of 1962 Senator Miller, along with Senators Gaston V. Green, Oscar E. Raynor, and J. L. White introduced a Resolution creating an interim committee to make a thorough study of this problem and to formulate concrete recommendations to the 1963 General Assembly.
The committee met in June 1962 at the State Capitol and decided upon a course of action.
First, we decided that we should hear from those professionally qualified to identify the specific natural areas in Georgia of importance and that we should visit some of these areas.

2218

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Secondly, we gathered together, read and studied relevant documents such as articles, books, periodicals and publications as background information to help us see the problems.

Third, we decided to visit the state of Wisconsin since it was the pioneer state in this field of legislation, and to send only one committee member to another state (Arizona) that was contemplating such legislation.

Finally, we have prepared this report for the Governor and the 1963-64 General Assembly.

WHAT THE COMMITTEE FOUND
We found, first of all, that we would have to define a natural area since practically every legislator and layman did not have the faintest idea about what we were talking when we mentioned what we were working on. With the help of some of the professionals we formulated the following definition: "A natural area is a tract of land in its natural state set aside and permanently protected or managed for the purpose of preservation of native plant or animal com munities or rare or valuable individual members of such communities."
We found, much to our disappointment, that there was very little interest in what the committee was attempting to do outside those professionally inter ested in the natural sciences. However, among this group we found tremendous interest.
We found, that educationally we must depend on protected natural areas for teaching Georgia youth in the principles of botany, geology, soil science, zoology, ecology, agriculture, forestry and conservation. The preservation of such un disturbed areas is an essential service to the secondary, college, and post graduate students of the state. Natural areas with their natural assemblage of plants and animals are necessary for scientific research conducted by individuals or units of the University system, private colleges of Georgia, State and Federal health services, State and Federal Agriculture, forestry and soil services, and the fish and wildlife services as well as independent researchers.
We found that the present public parks and forests are not only inadequate for the vast influx of people that is contemplated within twenty-five years, but offer through "developed" recreation an entirely different sort of experience than is assured by wilderness. Present parks and forests often exclude rare landscapes, unusual rock outcrops, biological study areas, unique flora and fauna of retricted range, or certain spots of unsurpassed beauty deserving perpetual preservation.
We found that the continuing growth of the population of Georgia will compel people in increasing numbers to turn from the congestion of cities and towns for brief refreshment and that medical authorities recognize that recreation with its accompanying mental physical relaxation is absolutely essential to main tain a healthy, productive population. Natural areas are the antithesis of an artificial, mechanized life and as such afford maximum contrast value; they are an indispensable adjunct to any program of physical fitness.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2219

We found that because of the location of Georgia's mountains; its wealth of biogeographic diversity; its location astride the route to the wintering grounds of Florida, and the rapid growth of metropolitan Atlanta, pressure on Georgia's resources is and will be unusually severe. Recreation pressure will be especially intense since Georgia possesses the mountain chain nearest the Gulf and South Atlantic coasts.
We found that neither private enterprise nor the private landowner can be expected to provide and maintain properly those wilderness areas which are required by these fundamental needs for natural outdoors space. Hence, to pro vide and maintain such areas is a primary responsibility of Government.

We found that several other states already have such natural area preserve systems. Wisconsin is the outstanding example. In 1951 a Wisconsin Board for Scientific Areas was established by the legislature. Through its efforts 34 tracts in Wisconsin have been designated Scientific areas. Michigan has a natural areas program which operates through cooperative efforts of the state agencies and the Michigan Natural Areas Council. This effort has been underway since 1951. Virginia officially established a Natural Areas System in 1960. Several other states have recently enacted or are considering legislation in this field.

We found that a national program for the preservation of natural areas is being carried on by the Nature Conservancy, a voluntary organization supported by contributions. It has acquired and set aside 35 areas in 14 states and aided in many additional projects. Much has been and will be accomplished by this organization but it lacks the official status to lead a comprehensive state program of designating and protecting natural areas. It might be noted that similar pro grams have been undertaken in other countries. The British Nature Conserv ancy, for instance, was established in 1949 and has since developed a system of nature preserves in England and Scotland.

We found that Georgia is blessed with an outstanding variety of habitats and environments, each different from the other, but that Georgia is in the eleventh hour in her efforts to conserve bits and pieces of natural Georgia.

We found that there would be no financial assistance available from the state for such a program. However, the Wisconsin System, which is recognized as the best in the country, operates without appropriations!

We found that there are already several natural areas set up in Georgia. Due to the work of public spirited citizens and a cooperative Forest Service, these spots of beauty have been saved. A typical one is a 1240 acre tract in Union County carved from one of the last, small watersheds of near-virgin timber in our (Blue Ridge Mountains. Since it is within the confines of the Chattahoochee National Forest it was officially designated by the Regional Director of the United States Forest Service as the Cooper Creek Scenic Area.

Along Cooper Creek and extending a short distance up its tributaries are stands of hemlock and white pine, many from three to four feet in diameter. Professor Robert Platt, a noted plant ecologist of Emory University, states that this area represents "the southern most virgin stand of hemlock and white pine of adequate proportions in this part of the mountains and is therefore of special academic interest because of being at its southern geographical limits." The others include Sosebee Cove, High Shoals, Coleman River and Keown Falls.

2220

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

We found, after an investigation suggested by Dr. Wharton, that there are many instances of not-well-thought approaches to the "development" of Georgia's precious scenery. Huge, unnecessarily deep cuts meet the eye in many places where the object of the road is supposed to be for scenery. The Soapstone Creek Road in Towns County towards Bald Mountain is a shocking ex ample of utter disregard for a beautiful drive. Trees, streams and picnic areas are devastated. Other such examples include the Germany and Seed Lake Roads in Rabun County. These show little regard for minimizing cuts and fills. The road up either side of Amicalola Falls could also have been more thoughtfully constructed. This is what Dr. Wharton and his group had in mind when they suggested that the Board should have the responsibility "to foster and aid in the preservation of natural conditions elsewhere than in natural areas so es tablished."

WHAT THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS
The committee recommends the creation of a State Board of Natural Areas which would be responsible for setting up a state-wide system of natural areas necessary for scientific research, the teaching of conservation, and for the preservation of rare or valuable plant and animal species for future genera tions.
The State Board should have members representing the Game and Fish Commission, the Forestry Commission, the Department of State Parks, the Geor gia State Museum, the University of Georgia, the other state colleges, and the private colleges of the state.
The Board would function as an advisory body, with no land procurement or management authority of its own. It would maintain a list of existing natural areas, keep a file of areas in need of protection, prepare management recom mendations for existing areas, and offer such aid and counsel as possible to other organizations interested in the preservation of worthy areas.
In the formulation of policies whereby the above aims may be achieved, it is necessary to define accurately the scope of a natural area. All persons to whom the committee talked agreed that the area is "wild" land as opposed to agricul tural or urban land actively modified or utilized by man, but the agreement extended no further.
The definition, which we recommend and which could be changed at the discretion of the Board is: "A natural area is a tract of land in its natural state, set aside and permanently protected or managed for the purpose of preservation of native plant and animal communities or of rare or valuable individual mem bers of such communities."
In the above definition "natural state" is taken to mean a condition similar to that prevailing on the area before the coming of the white man, and is es sentially the opposite of "artificial." "Managed" is taken to mean the employ ment of such practices as burning or other control measures which will maintain the area in its natural state. "Communities" are taken to be the complete com pliment of plants, animals, soils, waters and underlying geological features which exist together in organized systems in nature.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2221

The natural areas are to be used by scientists as outdoor laboratories in furthering our understanding of the complexities of the natural biological com munity, and by educators as field demonstrations or reference areas for the training of future teachers, scientists and conservation administrators. In some cases the scientific areas are to be devoted solely to the preservation of rare species, for such use as future scientific needs may dictate. The areas frequently may be suitable for multiple use purposes, without endangering their scientific dedication. In some few instances, especially in areas devoted to preservation only, no other use may be compatible, and they must receive complete protection from all disturbance. The size of a scientific area may vary within wide limits. For some, one or two acres would be minimum, while forests should have a ten acre minimum with an equal acreage surrounding it for a buffer zone. There is no definite maximum size, although blocks larger than 600 acres appears un necessary.

The criteria for judging suitability of proposed areas is as follows (a) Is it of suitable size (b) Is its permanence assured (c) Will it be adequately supervised (d) Does it duplicate other areas (e) Who will use the area ie. Is there any evidence that it will be used at all, or is it near to a college or research center (f) Is it a truly representative natural community (g) Is is accessible.

It is difficult to determine in advance the best operating procedure for a new organization. The following outline offers methods of approach which may be used in fulfilling the legal duties of the Board, but it is to be expected that these will be changed or greatly modified in the light of actual experience.

One of the main functions of the Board is the preparation of a list of the scientific areas currently available for research and teaching. Such a list should appear biennially. The list should include a variety of information about each scientific area, including its exact location, size, means of access, brief statement of nature of community, communities or species which are its main feature, ownership, and list of available maps, published reports and other pertinent information. To facilitate the preparation and regular revision of such a list, there should be maintained in the office of the Secretary of the Board a com plete file on each scientific area in the system. This file would contain all of the above information in full detail, plus actual copies of maps, research reports, correspondence and other papers pertaining to the area. An annual report of all activities on each area should be submitted to the Board on January 1 by the executive agency in charge.

The initial lists can probably be published by existing journals. When the size of the list warrants it, a separate publication would be desirable. Copies of the current lists should be sent to such national, state or local agencies as are known to be interested in the program. In addition, copies should be sent to all institutions of higher learning in the State and such other agencies as are known to be conducting research of the type that would benefit from the areas.

A second major function of the Board deals with problems of acquisition or dedication of new areas not now recognized as scientific areas. These include a determination of the acceptance or rejection of areas to be recommended for dedication or purchase by appropriate agencies. All such problems will call for an investigation of the areas in question and will necessitate the gathering of

2222

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

information as to the current ownership, legal status of the land title, nature of the existing biological community, relation to existing areas with respect to duplication, potential users of thp area, possibility of continuation of current protective agent, possible chance of destruction in near future and similar data. Such information should be kept in a file similar to that for existing areas in the office of the Secretary of the Board. It may be gathered by the Board, by appropriate members thereof, or their designated agents. This information would be used as a basis for decisions as to whether or not a proposed area would be approved as part of the natural area system. Each approved area must meet certain standards of quality, permanency and supervision. It is suggested that areas must be permanently dedicated for scientific area purposes, and it should also be demonstrated that some qualified agency will assume responsibility for local supervision and management in accordance with such policies as may be formulated by the Board.

The third function of the Board has to do with the management of existing areas. Many types of biological community are transitory in nature and will disappear if given complete protection from all forms of natural disturbance. Many grassland areas, for example, will need to be mowed or burned occasionally to keep down the growth of trees, while certain forest types will need periodic fires to maintain them in suitable condition. Certain scientific areas will be devoted to the preservation of rare plant species and many of these will be un suitable for the preservation of animal communities. They, therefore, may be used for hunting and fishing with no detriment to their main function. Other types of multiple use are also possible. It is the duty of the Board to prepare specific recommendations as to the development, utilization and maintenance of each scientific area in the system. Here, again, a file should be maintained in the office of the Secretary of the Board.

Allied to the matter of management are the questions of who may use the scientific areas and for what purposes. Research of a type that would be de structive of the area must be prohibited. Conflicts between various investigators must be kept at a minimum if maximum benefits are to be obtained. The simplest way of achieving full utilization with least friction is a system whereby each investigator informs the Board of the nature of his proposed study, the exact area upon which it is to be conducted, and the type of permanent markings he intends to use. This is most important in the case of those who desire to leave permanently staked study plots for future work. The Board can inform the applicant in case of any conflict with prior work, or, if there is no conflict, give permission to proceed according to his outline. A copy of published research papers or other forms of research report should be submitted to the Board upon completion of the study. The above recommendations can be enforced only upon state-owned land, but it is hoped that areas of other ownership may also con form.

With regard to administrative procedure, the Board will meet at the call of the Chairman, at least once a year, or more frequently if circumstances so dictate. Meetings may also be called at the request of any two members. Four members of the Board shall constitute a quorum. The Secretary of the Board will provide stenographic and clerical services as may be necessary to conduct the work of the Board. Sub-committees to prepare reports, secure publicity or to perform other necessary services may be appointed from time to time by the Chairman.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2223

The committee's final recommendation is to list a few examples of possible natural areas. ,We realize that the Board will be a group of experts in this field; however, in our studies and field trips this summer we have found the following to be of importance.
(a) At least one segment of a coastal plain island should be preserved in its natural state. These remnants of our former coastline cut off from the mainland by a rising sea level are of a geologic type found only on the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina. They bear characteristic dunes and dune vegetation and often magnificent stands of pine and live oak climax forest. Cumberland Island is the finest representative with miles of virgin beach. It has been proposed as a National Seashore Park. Talks with the Carnegie heirs who own the island were still in progress at last inquiry. A National Seashore Park would be a excellent means of effective preservation of a coastal island and every effort should be made to assist this effort of the National Government.
(b) We also need to preserve a section of a coastal plain river swamp with its bald cypress, tupelo, and many other characteristic plants. This would include the sand hills, wire grass, and gopher tortoise community adjacent to the river. A fine example of such an area is to be seen as you cross the Altamaha River between Jesup and Ludowici where the swamp is nearly five miles wide.
(c) An original example of coastal plain pine flatwoods may be difficult to find but this is also needed. John Whitney's Greenwood Plantation near Thomasville has almost 100 acres of old growth long leaf pine. There are also approx imately 2500 acres of old age (100 years) loblolly pine in the Thomasville area. The Tall Timbers Reserve, Inc. is presently being managed as a natural area, but its future, however, may be less certain. It would be the task of the Board to help these organizations achieve permanent protection.
(d) The characteristic mature ground covering of the upland Piedmont is the Piedmont Deciduous forest and there is no large example of this known in the state. Pernwood Forest on Clifton Road in Atlanta is a good, small example but this spot is rapidly yielding to encroachments.
(e) Another important area would be an example of the Piedmont Swamp Forest where you have sweet gums, water oaks, river birch, etc. The best example the committee knows is along Murder Creek in the Oconee National Forest. Many private individuals have urged the Forest Service to establish a scenic area in this region similar to the Cooper's Creek Area in Union County. However, more and more of this splendid river bottom is being let for logging.
(f) Lastly, an example of a granite shield outcrop by all means should be preserved. The most outstanding example in Georgia is Mt. Arabia (Bradley Mountain) south of Lithonia. Dr. Robert Platt of Emory University can best attest to its usefulness to scientists and students. It is characterized by round granite domes, weathered by exfoliation.
(g) A large artesian well should be preserved in some section. It is wise to consider in this regard the plight of Florida where not one large spring exists in its natural form: all have been developed and modified.

WHAT THE BILL WOULD ACCOMPLISH
The passage of this legislation, creating a State Board for the Preservation of Natural Areas, would provide a means of preserving for future generations

2224

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

examples of the natural Georgia landscape. Some of these natural areas would be tracts within existing parks, forest preserves, and other public lands; others would be required for the specific purpose of setting them aside as natural areas.
Every area of natural land that can be set aside gives tomorrow's genera tions a living museum as a link to America's past. The more our civilization crowds forward, the fewer natural areas there will be and the more precious they will become.
It is a part of our way of life to turn to peace and beauty of nature for inspiration. Also natural lands furnish the only true background against which to measure the changes civilization has wrought in our environment. As living remnants of an earlier day, they provide unsurpassed educational opportunities for broadening the outlook of children of the future.
They are living storehouses of scientific treasure of inestimable value for basic scientific research in many fields and they are reservoirs of living things that may in the future yield raw materials for medicine and industry.
They will be the last sanctuaries for many plants and animals facing extinction.
*******
In January of 1960, The Readers Digest published an article entitled "Save a Soot of Beauty for America." It was written by William Hard and it pointed out that Natural America is fast going. In one terse paragraph, the author suis.med up the sincere feeling of the committee:
"Our population is doubling every 50 years. Each year we have to have more residential space, more industrial space, more connecting highways. I think we must draw this conclusion: now is the time to set aside the largest possible number of areas truly fitted to be called wildernesses. They will constitute but a tiny percentage of the total area of the country; let us save them now from future invasion."

TO: THE GOVERNOR, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE CREATED TO STUDY OIL, MINERAL AND GAS LEASES AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS
(HR 682 -- 1962 Session)

The House Committee created to study oil, mineral and gas leases and other instruments was created by HR 682 adopted at the 1962 Session of the General Assembly of Georgia. The Committee was created for the purpose of making a study of the problems caused by oil, mineral and gas leases, mineral deeds and other instruments. The Committee was further charged with the duty of attempting to ascertain a solution to the problems created by the filing and recording of such instruments in the records of the Clerks of the several superior courts of this State. Pursuant to the terms of HR 682 as herein set forth, the Speaker of the House of Representatives appointed as members of said Committee the following:
Honorable John Lee Phillips Representative, Walton County Honorable George W. Potts Representative, Coweta County Honorable J. 0. Brackin Representative, Seminole County Honorable Louis T. Raulerson Representative, Echols County Honorable J. Robert Smith Representative, Brantley County
Honorable John Lee Phillips was designated as Chairman of said Committee by the Speaker and Honorable J. Robert Smith was elected Secretary by the members of the Committee.
The Committee met on several occasions for the purpose of carrying out the duties authorized by the Resolution herein described. Because of the interest shown and the relation of the subject matter of the Resolution herein stated, the Committee broadened its study to include the payment of a bonus now autho rized by Article VII, Section I, Paragraph II of the Constitution of the State of Georgia and the Act approved March 25, 1958 (Ga. Laws 1958, p. 265), as amended, implementing said Constitutinoal provision, for putting down and bringing in the first commercial oil well, the division of said bonus and the definition of a commercial oil well.
During the course of its study the Committee heard from Dr. A. S. Furcron of the Department of Mines, Mining and Geology of the State of Georgia. The information received from Dr. Furcron was very helpful to the Committee and provided the Committee with valuable information concerning the many mineral resources that are found in Georgia. The Committee hereby expresses its ap preciation for the assistance rendered by Dr. Furcron and the Department of Mines, Mining and Geology.

2226

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

The Committee heard from other sources relative to the mineral assets of the State and made various other studies relating to the duties of the Committee.

After serious consideration and much deliberation it is the opinion of the Committee that the 1963 General Assembly should consider a Constitutional Amendment and laws which would effectuate the following recommendations:
1. That Article VII, Section I, Paragraph II of the Constitution relating to the authorization for payment of $250,000.00 to the first person, firm or corporation or combination thereof which puts down or brings in the first oil well in this State and the Act approved March 25, 1958 (Ga. Laws 1958, p. 265), implementing said Constitutional provision be amended so as to provide that the words "commercial oil well" will be defined as a well that would produce at least ten barrels of oil per day. The determination as to whether said well was producing such amount would be vested in the Director of the State Department of Mines, Mining and Geology as is now provided by law. The Committee found that a well producing 100 barrels per day as is now provided by law is a rarity and it would be unlikely that such a well would be put down or brought in that would meet this requirement.
2. That the Constitutional provision and the portion of the Act approved March 25, 1958 (Ga. Laws 1958, p. 265), providing for the distribution of the reward as provided in said Constitutional provision be amended so as to pro vide that said reward shall be distributed as follows:
(a) $50,000.00 to the mineral and/or property owner or owners, where the well is drilled, to be divided, where there are multiple owners of the minerals, among them in the proportion of their respective interests therein; provided, however, that the owner or owners of mineral interest which does not include oil shall not share in said payment. (b) $200,000.00 to the company or indi vidual, or combination of persons, firms and corporations, who drills or causes to be drilled the said oil well, being those persons, firms or corporations who own the working interest in the well as "working interest" is known and de fined in the oil industry.
3. That a law be enacted requiring that oil, mineral and gas leases and deeds be recorded at least every ten years to be binding on third parties. The Committee during the course of its study found that there are many oil, mineral and gas leases and deeds recorded in the records of the clerks of the superior courts in many of the counties in this State. As a general rule the leases run for a long period of time, usually for ten years or more. Many of the leases expire by virtue of the terms of said lease and other leases expire by virtue of the fact that the leasee fails to comply with the annual consideration or other stipulations or conditions in the leases. The Committee further found that most of the mineral deeds that are recorded grant a perpetual title to the mineral rights of the land described in said deeds and that the grantee named in said deeds in many instances have disappeared, died or otherwise abandoned the rights stated in said deed. It was further found by the Committee that these deeds create a perpetual cloud on the title of the real estate described in said deed and that there is no law in Georgia which would adequately provide a remedy to remove said cloud on the title of the real estate except as provided in the Land Registration Act. The proceedings as set forth in the Land Reg istration Act are expensive and time consuming and in many instances the expenses and time involved would exceed the value of the land.
4. It is the opinion of the Committee that a mineral deed vest a valuable

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2227

interest in the land to the grantee named in such deed and the grantee named in the mineral deed would he liable for taxes to the extent of the value of the mineral rights in said property. It is the further recommendation of the Com mittee that the various tax assessors, tax receivers and tax commissioners in the State of Georgia study this matter and assess taxes against the holders of such mineral deeds as provided in the following Code provision:
"Code Section 92-104. Interest in or claim to land less than fee.--All persons owning any mineral or timber interests, or any other interest in or claim to land less than the fee shall return the same for taxation and pay taxes on the same as on other property; and any person failing to comply with the requirements of this section shall be proceeded against as a de faulting taxpayer."

This would provide for the levy and sale of the interest held by the grantee of the mineral deed who failed to pay the taxes assessed and would also reduce the tax of the owner of the remaining title of said land or real estate.

The Committee expresses its sincere appreciation and thanks for the valu able aid and assistance rendered by the staff of the Office of Legislative Counsel.

in the Lieuteant Governor in his capacity as the President of the Senate, a ten (10) member joint committee was created and appointed consisting of five (5) members from the Senate appointed by the President and five (5) members from the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker. The Committee was organized and created for the purpose of studying Senate Bill Number 204 providing for a new Public Health Code which was introduced at the 1962 Ses sion of the General Assembly. The bill was so voluminous that it was decided that additional study of said bill should be made, that any attempt to have said bill enacted by the General Assembly should be held in abeyance, and said bill should be re-introduced at the 1963 Session of the General Assembly of Georgia.

The Committee herewith submits its combined committee report and rec ommendations relative to the study of Senate Bill Number 204 known as the proposed Georgia Public Health Code and Patient Cost of Care Bill. The Com mittee report and the recommendations therein contain are made by the said Joint Committee under the leadership of Honorable James W. Keyton, its duly appointed Chairman and Honorable William B. Greene, its duly appointed Sec retary.

the preparation of this Code not be wasted, but that additional study be made so that the members of the next General Assembly may be better acquainted therewith;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL AS SEMBLY OP GEORGIA that there is hereby created the Health Code Study Committee to be composed of three members of the Senate, to be appointed by the President, and five members of the House, to be appointed by the Speaker, for the purpose of studying the aforesaid Health Code. The members shall be appointed within 60 days after the adjournment of the 1962 session and shall meet within 30 days after all members have been appointed for the purpose of organizing, electing a Chairman, a Secretary, and such other officers as deemed desirable. The Committee shall adopt its own procedures for its operation. The members shall receive the compensation, per diem, expenses and allowances authorized for members of interim legislative committees, but shall receive the same for not to exceed 10 days each member. The funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this Resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to or available to the Legislative Branch of the Government. The Committee shall make a report of its findings and recommendations on or before December 1, 1962, on which date the Committee shall stand abolished.

Approved by the Governor, March 6, 1962.

Your Committee met pursuant to authority and direction of Senate Res olution No. 150 enacted at the 1962 Session of the General Assembly, approved by the Governor March 6, 1962, (see 1962 Ga. Laws, p. 587), in the office of Honorable Geo. L. Smith, II. Speaker of the House of Representatives, on July 17th, at 10:00 O'clock A.M., for the purpose of conducting a study of Senate Bill Number 204.

The Committee was organized and Hon. James W. Keyton was elected Chairman and Hon. William B. Greene was elected Secretary.
At the organizational meeting, it was decided by the Committee that the best procedure would be to work in conjunction with the Department of Public Health of the State of Georgia, the Office of Legislative Counsel, and afford each one of the many groups within the State of Georgia, concerned with the various parts of the proposed Georgia Public Health Code, an opportunity to meet with the Study Committee and make known whatever recommendations or objections that they might have to either the proposed recodification of the Public Health Laws or the proposed Patient Cost of Care Bill.
Accordingly, an invitation was extended to all those persons the Committee felt would be directly or indirectly affected by this proposed bill. The number of invitations extended was only limited by this thought. Those attending or represented by Liaison Personnel from the organizations represented were:

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

A bill to provide for the payment of cost of care, as originally introduced at the 1961 Session of General Assembly of Georgia, (House Bill No. 287) and "carried over" to the 1962 Session of the General Assembly, has been completely re-written in all particulars in co-operation with the Medical Association of Georgia, the Department of Public Health, the Office of Legislative Counsel, and others interested therein, so that an entirely new bill to provide for the pay ment of cost of care will supplant the one originally introduced.

Over a period of years, the changes in the laws pertaining to the operations of the Department of Public Health and the affiliated institutions of the State of Georgia have resulted in a mass accumulation of statutory laws whereby certain statutes conflict with others, to the extent that there is an overlapping of funcions of the various departments and a number of the statutory laws presently constituting the Georgia Code are now obsolete. It has been one of the purposes of this committee to exclude the present obsolete statutory require ments, thereby substantially reducing the multitude of presently existing laws, recodifying those remaining and reducing them into one Public Health Code of Georgia which we believe to be flexible and workable and one which is capable of being enforced thereby affording equal protection of the citizens of our State and the various departments who will be better informed of their legal admini strative powers and duties. Had the reconciliation of the public health laws not been undertaken by this committee, then the passage of future acts and amend ments thereto would have resulted in a hodgepodge chaotic condition of the law relative to our public health and would have resulted in the same being unwork able to the extent that utter chaos would have resulted in the administration and protection of the relative rights of the State and its citizenry in relation to public health.

The growth in recent years as the State has taken over and begun more public health proposals, resulting in various State-wide programs in conjunc tion with the Federal Government and its grants and aids thereto has made it mandatory that a recodification of the public health laws subject to existing constitutional provisions be made at this time. The presently existing gaps or lags of services in relation to public health and overlappings of effort in the various departments concerned therewith would be more standarized and uni form in their application thereby promoting a lack of coordination between the various State departments and the various agencies now existing throughout the State which are charged with the responsibility of public health.

The importance of public health and the statutory laws pertaining thereto, affecting all of the people of Georgia, and the orderly administration of the public health laws necessitate the adoption of a model "Georgia Public Health Code" and "Patient Cost of Care Bill" relating to the patients hospitalized in the various institutions of this State.

Of course, it would be impossible to try to set forth in this report all of the changes proposed by the committee in its recodification of the public health laws of Georgia and the changes made to Senate Bill No. 204, as previously introduced. Since intelligent planning can only be made in the face of known facts and trends, your committee, in meeting with the aforesaid organizations, has completed its proposed draft of a new Georgia Public Health Code and Patient Cost of Care Bill. We feel they meet with the approval of the Department of Public Health in coordination and cooperation with the various groups interested therein, so that upon termination of the work of the Joint Committee on November

26th, 1962, there existed no known objections or obstacles voiced from any phase of our society which would prevent the introduction and passage of a new Georgia Public Health Code and Patient Cost of Care Bill at the 1963 Session of our General Assembly.

Of necessity, the proposed bill itself is massive in proportions and will number approximately 183 pages; however, this could not be avoided consider ing the task involved and its importance to the citizenry of Georgia should not be minimized and the committee recommends unto the General Assembly that an honest effort be made to adopt a Georgia Public Code and Patient Cost of Care Bill at the 1963 Session of the General Assembly consistent with the needs of our society.

This Committee is deeply indebted to Dr. John H. Venable, Director, De partment of Public Health of Georgia, and his staff; the Office of Legislative Counsel for their legal assistance; and to all the various groups who cooperated and participated in the public hearings in connection with the drafting of this proposed legislation for the assistance and for their untiring efforts in attempt ing to assist this Committee in drafting a proposed Georgia Public Health Code and Patient Cost of Care Bill. Were it not for their devotion and self-sacrifice, the task assigned to this Joint Committee would have been insurmountable.

The Joint Committee recommends to the General Assembly of Georgia that serious consideration be given to the passage of this much needed legislation at the 1963 Session of the General Assembly of Georgia.

REPORT OP THE SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS RETIREMENT STUDY COMMITTEE
(House Resolution No. 450)
INTRODUCTION The School Bus Drivers Retirement Study Committee was created by House

2234

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Resolution No. 450 adopted at the 1962 Session of the General Assembly of Georgia. Under authority of that resolution and under the authority of House Resolution No. 692 the Speaker of the House of Representatives appointed as members of the Committee from the House, Representatives A. B. C. Dorminy, Jr., Ben Hill County; Hershel Farmer, Heard County; George P. Langford, Jr., Warren County; Hubert Wells, Oconee County and Joe Mack Wilson, Cobb County. The President of the Senate appointed Senators Spence M. Grayson of the 1st District and Otto Griner of the 45th District as members of the Com mittee from the Senate. At the organizational meeting Representative Wells was elected Chairman, Senator Griner, Vice-Chairman and Representative Lang ford, Secretary.

As stated in the resolution the Committee was appointed for the purpose of making a study and investigation into the possibility of school bus drivers being covered under the provisions of the State Employees' Retirement System or the State Teachers' Retirement System. The Committee was also given the duty of investigating the cost involved and the feasibility of providing retire ment coverage for school bus drivers. The Committee has met for a period of 8 days and has studied the problem presented to it diligently. Honorable Joe DeFoor, Assistant Director, Division of Administration, State Board of Educa tion, appeared before the Committee and furnished valuable information rela tive to the number of drivers in the State, the number covered by Social Security and other related matters. Mr. DeFoor has primarily responsibility with regard to student transportation for the State Education Department. Honorable W. Frank DeLamar, Executive Secretary, Employees Retirement System of Georgia and Honorable G. E. Pittman, Executive Secretary, Teachers Retirement Sys tem of Georgia, appeared before the Committee and furnished much valuable in formation concerning the many problems connected with retirement systems.

Wilton Hill, Executive Secretary of the Georgia School Bus Drivers Asso ciation submitted request that a determination be made of the age bracket along with the approximate cost at various age levels so as to determine the feasibility of a Retirement Program.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Committee has determined that all school bus drivers are not covered under the provisions of the Federal Social Security Program. The conclusion has been reached that this is by far the best program of a retirement nature which is available to the drivers. This is true because of the prevailing average low salary schedule for drivers which makes it difficult to establish a retirement system with sufficient attractive features to induce the drivers to join. This problem, however, does not exist in the Social Security Program and the Com mittee strongly urges that the counties which do not now provide Social Security coverage for school bus drivers take the necessary action to correct this situa tion. There is attached to this report information showing the counties which do not participate in the Social Security Program for their school bus drivers. The Committee found that there are 4,920 school bus drivers currently employed within the State. Of these 4,276 are covered under Social Security with contri butions totaling $200,117.20. 86.9% of all drivers are covered by Social Security at an average expenditure of $46.80 per driver.
The 4,920 drivers referred to above transport 454,000 children daily over

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2235

an average route of 47.6 miles round trip. 82.3% of all the school buses in operation in the State are owned by the counties. The remaining buses are either jointly owned by the counties and the drivers or are owned solely by the drivers and under contract to the counties. This, of course, is an additional problem which must be met and solved with relation to setting up a retirement system. There are other complicating factors which the Committee has found through its study. One is the high average age of the drivers. The best information available in dicates that the average age is between 40 and 50 years with 45 years of age being the reasonable assumption for the average figure. Another factor involved is the fast turnover of drivers. This can readily be seen by examining the fol lowing figures:
2,448 drivers with 5 years service
1,215 drivers with 10 years service
651 drivers with 15 years service
347 drivers with 20 years service
78 drivers with 30 years service
42 drivers with 35 years service

Converted to percentages only 7.05% of the drivers have served as long as 20 years and only 13.23% have served 10 years. The remaining drivers all have less than 5 years service. The Committee has been unable to determine the rate of turnover and the probable number of drivers who would remain employed long enough to qualify for retirement.

Preliminary examinations of certain retirement plans and proposals indi cate that it might be feasible for the State to inaugurate a plan which would provide for a substantial initial contribution in addition to an annual contri bution of $50 per driver matched by a $50 contribution from the State. This would produce a retirement schedule approximating the following:

Annual Contributions
$100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00

Years Contributed
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Annuity at Age 62
$ 3.51 4.29 5.09 5.93 6.79 7.68 8.60 9.56 10.55 11.57 12.63 13.73 14.87 16.04 17.26 18.52

Annuity at Age 65
$ 3.88 4.74 5.62 6.45 7.50 8.48 9.50 10.55 11.65 12.78 13.95 15.16 16.41 17.71 19.05 20.44

The above schedule is predicated on the assumption that all the funds re ceived will be invested in sound investments which would yield not less than
annually.

2236

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Due to the age at which drivers are employed the Committee feels that in the event any retirement system is established for bus drivers participation by the drivers should be on a voluntary basis.

The Committee is not in a position to recommend that any retirement plan be adopted at the present time. It is felt that a complete actuarial survey should be made prior to the recommendation of any particular plan and that the feel ings and desires of the school bus drivers themselves should be ascertained before the formulation of any plans. For this purpose the Committee recom mends that a new Committee be created at the 1963 Session of the General Assembly and that such Committee complete the study begun by this Committee and make final recommendations as to whether or not a retirement plan for school bus drivers should be promulgated.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF PENAL INSTITUTIONS SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE STATE INSTITUTIONS AND PROPERTY COMMITTEE
TO: HONORABLE GEORGE T. SMITH, SPEAKER, AND MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The Penal Institutions Subcommittee of the State Institutions and Property Committee respectfully submits the following report:
The Committee made unannounced inspection visits to the Georgia State Prison at Reidsville, the Georgia Industrial Institute at Alto, the Rock Quarry Prison Branch at Buford, the Correctional Detention Branch at Rome, and sev eral of the county camps, interviewing prison officials, other supervisory person nel, and inmates.
The institutions visited were found to be effectively and humanely operated. All were found to be operating economically, and the Committee commends the Department of Corrections, the Director and his assistants, and the Wardens of the various institutions for the scope and efficiency of their operation with the limited amount of funds available.
Food, clothing, and housing were found to be adequate and sanitation stand ards acceptable. Morale of inmates was found to be high. Religious emphasis is evidenced by chapels or other facilities for religious worship at all prisons. All institutions have religious services every Sunday, and have chaplains who not only conduct these services but who are helpful in the counseling of prisoners.
At the Georgia Industrial Institute at Alto, the school plant and gymnasium

are nearing completion and the school program is already in operation, in tem porary quarters. Practically no publicity has been given the program, but the Committee feels this is one of the most progressive steps that has been made in the Prison System in many years, and is, in fact, one of the finest such pro grams in the country. The boys at Alto are now offered the opportunity to com plete their high school work and earn a bona fide diploma of accredited high school status.

At the Georgia State Prison at Reidsville, two new wings comprised of in dividual cell blocks have been completed, making maximum use of prison labor. These have not been occupied because of the difficulty of securing supervisory personnel at the prevailing inadequate rate of pay. Construction of a separate library facility at the State Prison has been started.

The Committee takes special note of the model farm activity at the State Prison in Tattnall County. This operation ranks with the best in the nation, and not only provides construction and healthful work for many of the inmates, but also produces an abundance of food which is used in the prison system.

In view of the recent publicity as to alleged "dope traffic" at Georgia State Prison, this Committee made a diligent investigation into the matter. It was determined that every precaution is being taken to prevent the introduction of narcotics into the prison and to prohibit their possession and use within the prison. Visitors are thoroughly searched and incoming packages carefully cen sored. Inmates are stripped and searched after visits and are stripped and searched every few days at unscheduled, irregular intervals. A coupon system for purchases is used whereby money is contraband and any money found is confiscated and placed in the general entertainment fund. Employed personnel are kept under close surveillance to prevent the introduction of contraband into the prison.

It is the opinion of the Committee that the charges as to "dope traffic" and "dope addicts" at Georgia State Prison are unfounded, and that evidence upon which said reports were based was unreliable. There have been instances of the introduction of small quantities of "pep pills" and other contraband medicine, but these do not accurately conform to the definition of "dope" and are not addicting.

A special session of the Tattnall County Grand Jury was called in November 1962, to investigate the "dope" problem and submitted its presentment, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, marked Exhibit 1.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The Committee recommends the establishment of a General Comprehen sive Classification Center at which all prisoners, before assignment in the State Prison System, would undergo thorough medical and psychiatric examination, as well as thorough analysis of their social, economic and cultural background, education, vocational training and experience, criminal tendencies, aptitude, etc. It is believed that this is a primary need of the Prison System and with the in stitution of such a classification program, a multitude of diverse problems can be almost automatically solved. It is recommended that such a classification

2238

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

center be constructed near Augusta on land already owned by the State near Talmadge Memorial Hospital.

2. The Committee recommends the activation of the Industrial Program for State Prisoners. This program has already been authorized, but funds have not yet been provided.

3. The Committee concurs in Governor Sanders' statement that a high standard in qualifications should be instituted for custodial officers in the prison system and that a program of inservice training be instituted so as to provide greater efficiency and a uniform treatment of prisoners throughout the State. In order to implement these suggestions, the Committee recommends that funds be made available at the earliest possible date.

4. The Committee recommends that further efforts be made to relieve the State Prison System of the burden of handling misdemeanor prisoners. The load of misdemeanants causes extreme overcrowding in most of the State prisons and greatly hampers any effort at an effective program of rehabilitation.

5. The Committee recommends that efforts be continued to bring the pay scale and work hours for prison guards more nearly into line with that of other
state employees; and that funds be made available as soon as possible toward that end.

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

REPORT OF 1962 TAX EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE CREATED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
STATE OF GEORGIA

This Committee was created pursuant to House Resolution 570 of the 1962 Session of the Georgia General Assembly. Speaker of the House George L. Smith appointed representatives Maddox J. Hale, Dade County, William B. Steis, Harris County, and Arthur K. Bolton, Spalding County, to serve on the Committee. At its organizational meeting Arthur K. Bolton was elected Chair man, Maddox J. Hale was elected Vice-Chairman, and William B. Steis was elected Secretary.

During the summer and fall of 1962, this Committee met with the Georgia Municipal Association, Association of County Commissioners of Georgia, and Georgia Tax Assessors Association, in addition to working with Mr. C. G. Campbell and other members of the Ad Valorem Tax Unit of The Department of Revenue. This Committee was primarily concerned with seeing that the tax equalization program was expanded throughout the State and that any needed legislation be prepared and submitted to the 1963 Session of the Georgia Gen eral Assembly.

This Committee is most pleased to note that, at the present time, largely through the tact and skillful direction of Mr. C. G. Campbell, and by virtue of the funds made available during the administration of Governor S. Ernest Vandiver, the tax equalization program in Georgia has developed beyond our fondest hopes during the past two years. We also feel that without the intense effort devoted to this project by Mr. Hill R. Healan, Executive Director of the Asso ciation of County Commissioners, and the Board of Directors of the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia, this program would not have reached its present success. It is pleasing for us to report that, as of the date of this report, 27 counties have undertaken a tax equalization program. These counties are: Baker, Barrow, Butts, Carroll, Chattooga, Chatham, Clayton, Crawford, Dade, Early, Elbert, Floyd, Franklin, Glynn, Lamar, Liberty, Macon, Marion, Murray, Paulding, Polk, Pulaski, Turner, Upson, Walker and Whitfield.

The above 27 counties have received from Governor Vandiver's administra tion the total sum of $1,718,380 to assist them in their undertaking.

This committee is also gratified that the people of Georgia saw fit to ratify a constitutional amendment at the 1962 general election which will permit counties to borrow money from private sources for the purpose of tax equaliza tion, as we feel that this will greatly expedite this program.

As in past years, this Committee received detailed and voluminous reports on the fact that many motor vehicle owners are escaping the payment of ad valorem property taxes, and, under present laws, local officials are virtually powerless to stop this loss of revenue. This Committee considered many methods of attempting to stop this loss of revenue, both administratively and statutorily. During the fall of 1962, at the suggestion of Mr. C. G. Campbell, we secured the services of Mr. Douglas Kerr, attorney at law, to assist the Committee in hold ing hearings with Mr. Campbell and to draft curative legislation. Mr. Campbell held numerous hearings with various county officials around the State. Part of

these recommendations hereinafter made are based on his findings and as a re sult of their investigation.

This Committee also counseled with Governor-elect Carl E. Sanders and is delighted to report that he is enthusiastically behind the tax equalization pro gram and has promised as part of his administration's legislative program, to assist in the passage and implementation of the recommendations hereinafter made. Based on our investigation and study and pursuant to the recommenda tions of the various groups with which we consulted, this Committee makes the following recommendations to the 1963 Session of the Georgia General Assembly:
(1.) We recommend that sufficient funds be included in the 1963 General Appropriation Act to continue tax equalization programs within the counties of this State. Because of recommendations hereinafter made, this Committee recommends that a sum of not less than $100,000.00 is re quired for the next fiscal year to insure the continuation of these programs.
(2.) We recommend that legislation be enacted by the General As sembly, and this Committee has prepared for introduction, legislation which will provide that the State may grant to any county borrowing money under the recently ratified constitutional amendment a sum equal to the amount of the interest which it would have to pay during any calendar year for a loan thus obtained. We feel that in this manner the program can be greatly expanded without the necessity of a large capital outlay by the State.
(3.) This Committee recommends that the 1963 Session of the Georgia General Assembly enact a constitutional amendment which will permit the levying and collection of ad valorem property taxes on any motor vehicle in this State at the time the tag is purchased. This Committee directs at tention to the fact that many our sister states follow this process. This Com mittee feels that this legislation is the only way to finally and completely close the gap on the loss of revenue from the various counties and munici palities of this State. Based on a conservative estimate, the lost revenue amounts to at least $5,000,000.00 a year. This Committee considered at great length the possibility of introducing intermediate, remedial, statutory legis lation to close this gap during the 1964-65 calendar years. However, after considered deliberations on the subject, this Committee concludes that any feasible method employed would be so impractical and cumbersome as to preclude the effective administration thereof.

We would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the members of the State Revenue Department and those members of the various State or ganizations -"hich have assisted us in our work. In view of the fact that it is apparent that rax equalization throughout the State will be a continuing process and, at least during the next few years, will undoubtedly require additional leg islation as the program progresses, we recommend that a committee on tax equalization be created at the 1963 Session of the General Assembly to inquire into this field and report its findings and recommendations based thereon to the 1964 Session of the General Assembly.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

REPORT OF HOUSE COMMITTEE CREATED BY H. R. NUMBER 735 TO STUDY THE PROBLEMS RELATING TO TEACHERS RETIREMENT PAY

Pursuant to House Resolution Number 735 of the 1962 Session of the Gen eral Assembly, Representatives W. G. Todd of Glascock County, Joe T. Clark of Catoosa County and W. D. Knight of Berrien County were appointed to investi gate the present teachers retirement system of Georgia.

Representative W. G. Todd of Glascock County was appointed Chairman of the Committee by the Speaker of the House, and at the organizational meeting Representative W. D. Knight of Berrien County was elected Secretary.

Upon its organization the Committee immediately started its investigation and study of the present Teachers Retirement System of the State. The Com mittee met at various times and heard testimony from several persons connected with the Retirement System. The following persons appeared before the Commit tee: Honorable W. T. Harrison, President of the Georgia Retired Teachers As sociation; Honorable Frank Hughes, Executive Secretary of the Georgia Edu cation Association; Honorable G. E. Pittman, Executive Secretary of the Teach ers' Retirement System of Georgia; Honorable Wesley H. Rucker, Deputy Executive Secretary of the Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia; Honorable Mac Barber, Representative from Jackson County and author of the resolution creating the Committee; and Honorable W. H. Outlaw, County School Superin tendent of Berrien County, Georgia.

The Committee wishes to express its appreciation to the above gentlemen for appearing, testifying, and giving the Committee the benefit of their knowl edge of the Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia. The Committee wishes to express special appreciation to Mr. Pittman and his staff for their cooperation and aid in gathering data for the Committee's use.
The Committee found that at the present time the floor for computing Teachers' retirement is $3.00, and that a great majority of those teaches who retired before July 1, 1961 are receiving very small retirement checks. At the present time there are 1085 retired teachers in this State who receive less than $100 per month as retirement.

The present average monthly benefit received by all retirants is $100.30, however, the present average monthly benefit of the 1085 teachers who retired before July 1961 is $70.40.

These old teachers drawing less than $100.00 per month retirement are the teachers who have contributed greatly to our present educational system. They were present when the state pay to teachers was low, when the physical facilities of the school were poor; and they are the ones who have been largely ignored as the state raises the pay level of the teaching profession.

The Committee feels that adequate retirement pay should go to these teachers as a debt that society owes them and not just as chairty. This group will de crease as each year passes and very soon none will exist. It is with this in mind that the Committee feels that their retirement pay should be raised to a decent level and allow them to live out their remaining years in dignity.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2243

During the 1962 session of the Legislature House Bill 1115 was passed which would provide a minimum of $6.00 per year floor for computing the retirement pay. Although this bill has been passed no funds have been made available to implement it.

Based upon its investigation, the Committee feels that a raise in the mini mum floor is justified to help the retired teachers of this State; and, further feels that at the present time a $1.00 increase can be financed. It is the Com mittee's opinion that the figure of $642,565.44 is ample to provide this $1.00 and in all probability will result in a surplus.

The Committee found that the overall Teachers' Retirement program is sound from an actuary standpoint.

Attached to this Committee Report and marked "Exhibit A" is a recapitula tion of retired teachers receiving less than $100 per month in benefits; and "Exhibit B" showing the amount of money required to raise the minimum floor to $4.00.

Recommendations:
1. The Committee recommends that the Appropriations Committee in clude the sum of at least $642,565.44 in the 1963-1965 budget to raise the minimum floor to $4.00 immediately.
2. The Committee further recommends that the Appropriations Com mittee consider the possibility of financing H. B. 1115 which has already been enacted into law and that the funds necessary to finance the same be included in the Budget for 1965-1967.
Respectfully submitted,
W. G. Todd, Chairman W. D. Knight, Secretary Joe T. Clark

REPORT OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE
The Subcommittee on Temperance, composed of Senator Robert McKenzie, chairman, Senator Gaston V. Green and Senator J. L. White, pursuant to SR 189, visited the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Department in Montgomery, Alabama. The purpose of this trip was to investigate the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law and the application of such law in the State of Alabama.
Mr. Edward Azar, Administrator of the ABC, was most cooperative and very generous with his time in furnishing the Committee the desierd informa tion. We were apprised of the experience that Mr. Azar has in this field.
Mr. Azar pointed out that besides the profit angle involved in the ABC operations, there is a more urgent reason for having state stores, that reason being the control and strict policing of the sale of alcholic beverages and all phases of this subject. He further pointed out that arrests in wet areas are a great deal less numerous than in dry areas. He went on to explain that the State of Alabama has a local option system, whereby the citizens of each in dividual county determine by local referendum whether or not the ABC stores operate in their respective counties. A referendum is called by petition of at least 25 percent of the number of people voting in the most previous general election. He pointed out that a referendum can be held in each 2 year period.
All profits from the sale of alcoholic beverages in Alabama are earmarked by the legislature for the various state agencies and departments rather than placing the money in a general fund.
All of the ABC products are purchased directly from the distillers. This system effects a reduction of price due to the fact that there is no middleman

2246

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

profit. Each distiller has an agent in the state for the purpose of receiving a com mission for the sale of his company's product. However, Governor-Elect George Wallace has promised to do away with this system in order to save the State vast amounts of money spent on commissions.

The following advantages were noted under the Alabama ABC system:
1. The State can receive a much greater amount of revenue under this system.
2. The prices of all alcoholic beverages are regulated by the State.
3. Closer and more rigid supervision can be maintained, thus eliminating much of the police problem involved in alcoholic beverages.
4. Fewer people are involved in the sale of alcoholic beverages, thus also reducing the police problem.
5. The state stores have regular hours and earlier hours of closing, thus also aiding the enforcement of the law.

After this visit with Mr. Azar and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Depart ment, this Committee feels that the system in the State of Alabama is a very good one and the Committee points these facts out for the consideration of the 1963 General Assembly.

REPORT OF THE INTERIM COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE
The following two Subcommittee reports are herewith incorporated into this final report of the Senate Interim Committee on Temperance:
REPORT OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE
The Subcommittee, composed of Senator Robert McKenzie, Senator G. V. Green and Senator J. L. White, left Atlanta on July 19, 1962, for the purpose of studying the laws and administration of alcoholic beverage laws in accordance with Senate Resolution Number 189 in Louisiana, Nevada and California.
In New Orleans, Louisiana, the Committee had an audience with Commis sioner Giarrusso Head of the New Orleans Police Department and Captain Dutha Chief of the Alcoholic Division of the New Orleans Police Department. Commissioner Giarrusso Stressed to the Committee the importance of liberality in handling public drunkenness cases. The Commissioner's opinion was that the liberal attitude helps to curb chronic alcoholism rather than foster it. He also

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2247

stated that drunks are held only for six (6) hours, thus aiding the economic as pect of the city penal system.

In regard to mixed drinks, the Commissioner stated that there is less tend ency toward heavy quantity drinking where the opportunity for acquiring mixed drinks is afforded. He further stated that as a practical matter a man who can acquire mixed drinks is less likely to be a heavy quantity drinker and is more likely to take only one or two drinks then retire to his home; while on the other hand bottle drinkers have a tendency to finish the bottle.

Captain Dutha suggested very strongly that in the event mixed drinks are legalized in our State that all personnel working in connection with drinking establishments be fingerprinted, photographed, and that police record checks be run on such persons. This procedure is particularly helpful in keeping per sons with criminal records from working in such establishments and this pro cedure aids in the apprehension of violators.

The next stop was in Clarke County, Nevada, where the Committee visited the Sheriff's Department. Under-Sheriff Bunker also stressed that the photograph ing and fingerprinting of personnel is very effective in keeping out the unde sirable element which tends to congregate in Las Vegas due to the gambling there.

Public drunkenness cases are handled much the same in Clarke County, Nevada, as they are in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Permits for the purpose of operating alcoholic sales establishments are is sued to resident first offenders after they have proven over a five year period that they are worthy of a second chance. This does not apply to out-of-state of fenders since no effort is made to rehabilitate undesirables from other states.

In Los Angeles, California, our Committee had the full cooperation of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The main interest of the Committee in Los Angeles County was to visit and investigate their model alcoholic farm. The Committee visited the farm itself. The farm is designed primarily as a re habilitation center. It is particularly helpful in keeping undesirable characters out of places like skid row. Both men and women are sent to the farm. After the third arrest for drunkenness they are sent to the farm, however, habitual drunk ards can be sent at any time in the discretion of the judiciary. Their release is obtained when the farm hospital thinks they have been rehabilitated.

This farm is the most up-to-date of its kind in the United States. Hospital and psychiatric care is the first step for persons sent to the farm. They have one of the most modern hospitals of its kind in the United States with complete doctor facilities, psychiatrists and registered nurses in attendance. After they go through the drying out period, they are assigned to barracks and each in mate is assigned to a certain job which he is most qualified and suited for. Some of these jobs include truck farming, toy making, cooking, office work, shoe re pair, etc.

Before release from the farm the inmates who are capable of being re habilitated, and who have progressed toward rehabilitation are placed in suit able jobs in the outside world. In this particular phase, Alcoholics Anonymous

2248

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

is very cooperative in working with the released inmates and helping to restore them as normal useful citizens. Three out of five of these people are brought back to normal life. Prom a financial standpoint this operation is completely self-sustaining. About two million dollars is needed to set it up on state-owned land.

The following report from Mr. Charles B. Methvin, director of the Alco holic Rehabilitation Service of the Georgia State Health Department, is quoted:

"Alcoholism today is considered to be our 4th major public health problem. It is conservatively estimated that there are 75,000 alcoholics in the State of Georgia, and even more significant is the fact that each alcoholic will directly affect the lives and welfare of 5 other persons; mainly, members of their family. Indirectly, each alcoholic will have influence on 10 other persons in the com munity such as welfare agencies, public health departments, creditors, law en forcement, etc.
Unfortunately, due to limited funds, the State has only two facilities offer ing help to the alcoholic--the Georgian Clinic in Atlanta and the Chatham Clinic in Savannah. We desperately need to expand our program in order to offer help to more alcoholics and their families throughout the State. Of the 75,000 alcoholics in Georgia, less than 5,000 are actually receiving any form of help from the facilities of this Service, Alcoholics Anonymous, private hospitals, the Salvation Army, etc.
One of the greatest barriers in solving the problem of alcoholism is lack of public acceptance and understanding. There is great need for more education and information, research, training of professional personnel, and additional treatment facilities. At this point, I might mention the present State appropria tion to deal with this problem is $312,000. The income to the State from the sale of alcoholic beverages is $23,500,000 annually. A program to adequately serve the entire State, involving all of the above mentioned needs, would require a fin ancial investment of approximately $1,250,000 annually--only a fraction of the income received by the State from the sale of alcoholic beverages.

While rehabilitation requires financial investment, it does not actually cost the State money--rehabilitation saves money. As an example, a few years ago we conducted a survey to determine how many of our former patients, 6 months after treatment, were employed and able to assume financial responsibility for themselves and their family without welfare assistance. Going on the assump tion that those former patients, known to be employed, earned a maximum in come of $200 per month, it was established that patients rehabilitated, by this Service alone, accounted for an annual taxable income of over $9,000,000 which, without the benefit of services offered by this program, would have been lost. Incidentally, approximately 60 percent of our patients received some type of welfare assistance prior to their treatment. Of course, the most important as pect of rehabilitation is humanitarian, but certainly there is also a dollar factor involved.
The quality of our program in Georgia has gained international reputation, and we can be proud of what is being accomplished with so little, but as pre viously stated, there is great need for expansion in order to meet the growing demands for service."

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2249

In view of the above report from Mr. Methvin and the other findings of this Committee, we recommend the following:
1. That an Alcoholic Rehabilitation center be set up in Georgia along the lines of the one the Committee visited in California. This system is the most economical means of handling the Alcoholic problem and for this reason it is most strongly urged by the Committee. The state now owns a sufficient amount of suitable idle land for this institution such as Milledgeville, Reidsville, and other locations around the State.
2. This Committee further recommends that this operation be set up under the State Health Department.
3. Realizing that the advertising of any product creates a demand and a desire for such product, this Committee recommends that the 1963-1964 General Assembly adopt sufficient legislature whereby making it unlawful to advertise Alcoholic Beverages in any advertising media originating in the State of Georgia.

The Committee feels that the adoption of the within stated recommendations will greatly curb Alcoholism in this State.

SENATE WATER POLLUTION COMMITTEE
January 7, 1963
The Senate Water Pollution Committee was created by Senate Resolution 151 to study the degree of pollution in Georgia, factors contributing to said pol lution, and to review the actions taken by agencies of State government in pol lution control. In the course of committee meetings and field reviews, a total of 25 man days were spent in active Committee participation. Committee mem bers are as follows:
Senator Dan F. Hart of the 53rd District, Chairman Senator Zell Miller of the 40th District Senator 0. E. Raynor of the 4th District

2250

JOURNAL OP THE HOUSE,

Water Pollution, particularly in the areas of municipalities and certain in dustries continues to be a threat to the economy and continued advancement of the State of Georgia. Industrial advancement will be restricted unless pollution of the streams and natural water supply in certain areas of the State is dimin ished.

The Committee was particularly concerned with pollution of the coastal area in the sounds and estuaries. The commercial interests in this area, especi ally the oyster industry, have been severely handicapped by increased pollution and the condemnation of areas for the sale of oysters on the Georgia Coast. A comparison of the total catch of oysters with our neighboring state of South Carolina shows the harvest of oysters to be ten times greater, and dollar value of the oyster industry to be over twenty times greater in this state than in Georgia. Much of this loss in revenue can be directly attributed to condemna tion of oyster beds as a direct result of pollution from tidal streams.

In review of specific action taken by agencies of State government con cerned with enforcement of Water Quality Laws, the Committee acknowledges and wishes to commend the recent actions by Dr. John Venable, Director of the State Health Department in his efforts directed toward pollution control in the State of Georgia. The Committee does feel in review of the pollution control actions, that additional strengthening legislation is necessary for satisfactory water pollution abatement.

The Committee would also like to particularly commend the long time ef forts and actions by Mr. Pulton Lovell, Director of the Georgia Game and Fish Commission, for his continued interest and special efforts in the field of water pollution control. We feel that much of the progress made in pollution control is a direct result of the action taken by Mr. Lovell and the Game and Pish Commission in the pollution field.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. That the Senate Committee on Water Pollution be a continuing body with the purpose of continued review of water pollution problems in the State of Georgia, and to monitor the actions taken by agencies of State government in pollution control.
2. That additional legislation or strengthened legislation be passed by the General Assembly to expedite control of existing pollution, and to prevent future pollution of streams and lakes.
Respectfully submitted,
THE COMMITTEE:

A REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR AND TO THE 1963-64 GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA

PREPARED BY THE YOUTH STUDY COMMITTEE CREATED BY HOUSE RESOLUTION 544-1049, 1962 GEORGIA LAWS, PAGE 483
BACKGROUND
Serious consideration was given by members of the 1962 General Assembly to the establishment of a State Department of Youth. House Bill 728, introduced by Rep. Tom Parker of Ware County, and supported by many others, won unanimous Committee approval but was shelved when Governor Vandiver stated that funds were not available. Although favoring its passage, individuals in side and outside state government recommended that more study be given the proposed legislation.
A House Resolution creating a 12-member Youth Study Committee passed both houses unanimously. The resolution directed the panel to study problems of Georgia's youth and report its findings and recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly by January 14, 1963.
Both the Department of Youth Bill and the resolution creating this com mittee were the result of mounting opinion voiced by the Georgia Congress of Parents and Teachers, the Juvenile Court Judges, the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs, the United Church Women of Georgia, and other leaders in welfare, education, and political circles that something be done to keep children out of our jails; that more support be given our training schools; that better diagnosis and treatment be applied to boys and girls in trouble; and that more thought be given to the prevention of juvenile offenses which are harmful and costly to the individual, the family and the community.
The Committee's task, although not an easy one, was clear. In six months it had the duty to hear from those qualified to speak; to see the institutions and programs now operated by the state; to consider what it had heard and seen; and to formulate recommendations for legislative action which, if carried out, could bring in a new and better era for the troubled children of Georgia.
WHAT THE COMMITTEE DID
The committee met and organized on May 30, 1962, at the State Capitol and decided upon a course of action.
First, we decided that we should hear from those now in public positions of responsibility and from professionally qualified private persons who would be competent to identify the problems of Georgia's youth and who could suggest to the committee what actions it should take and what recommendations might be appropriate to make to the General Assembly. This was done.

2252

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

Second, we gathered together, read and studied relevant documents such as prior committee reports, articles, books, periodicals and publications from every source as background information to help us see the problems and the possible remedies.

Third, we visited every institution maintained by the state in which child ren under seventeen are held in custody.

Fourth, we decided, on recommendation of experts who appeared before us, that other statets should be visited to see institutions and programs which are getting better results in dealing with youth problems that we are obtaining here in Georgia. This was not done, due to the fact that the resolution creating the committee did not expressly authorize such travel. Committee members, on their own initiative however, through correspondence developed helpful information and material from other states.

After hearing rrom professionally qualified people and visiting our state institutions, we decided that for us to do an effective job we should obtain funds and professional help in developing a background study on which we could maEe a report that would be authoritative, informative and convincing.

Thanks to the cooperation of Governor S. Ernest Vandiver and Judge Alan Kemper, Director of the State Welfare Department, this was done.

Mr. Thomas M. (Jim) Parham, assistant professor with Emory Univer sity Department of Psychiatry and a social worker with lengthy experience in this field in Georgia, was employed. He conducted a study and prepared an excellent report. His service to the committee has been invaluable.

Finally, we have prepared this Report for the Governor and the 1963-64 General Assembly.

WHAT THE COMMITTEE FOUND
We learned that of Georgia's four million people, one million five hundred thousand are under seventeen (children under seventeen are defined as juveniles under the Georgia law).
Of this number perhaps ninety-five percent are doing well. Our committee takes pride in the health, vigor and intelligence of the vast majority of our youth.
It is the five percent, the approximately 75,000 boys and girls, who, for one reason or the other have serious problems and come to the attention of the courts and other state agencies, about which our committee is concerned.
We found that these seventy-five thousand are confronted with problems of maladjustment, neglect, and dependency which create distress for themselves, their families and their communities. We are convinced that with a better job by state and local government, many of these children can be salvaged and

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2253

prevented from becoming future inmates of our prisons, patients in our mental hospitals, and chronic dependents on our welfare rolls.

We believe that this is a major problem and not a minor problem.

We are convinced that a better job can be done with the resources at hand, and it is apparent that more resources will be needed.

We are certain that there must be action now--not later.

We are sure that everything cannot be done that ought to be done in one legislative session, or in a year, or even in a four year administration. But we are sure that now is the time for action and important new beginnings.

Instead of finding fault with the inadequacies we have observed, we wish to praise those who, through the years, have carried on with such meager fi nancial resources and so little public interest or support.

Our committee believes that both financial resources and much greater public understanding and support are on the way.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
1. Georgia's number of "troubled children"--those with problems of de pendency, neglect, delinquency and other forms of maladjustment--is growing due to sheer increase in numbers and the shift of population to the cities. The "baby boom" of 1947 and 1948 means we will have 20,000 more sixteen year olds in 1964 than we have in 1962; 26% more young people will reach their teens in the sixties than the teenage group of the fifties. Most of these young people will grow up in the concentration and space limitations of our cities; as it is now, 50% of the state population under 17 live in sixteen urban areas.
2. County services for maladjusted children--caseworkers, child guidance clinics, foster homes, etc.--are inadequate in urban counties and negligible or completely non-existent in rural counties. The great majority of all such services are concentrated in sixteen urban counties. In each of 101 counties, less than 20 children were receiving child welfare services in September, 1962. Last year 54 counties spent nothing for boarding care. Many Georgia counties have multiple problems of declining populations, low median family incomes and a high per centage of non-white population.
3. Although state-maintained institutions for children and youth have steadily increased their capacities, all are still overcrowded. Waiting periods of two to six weeks are necessary for admission to the training schools. Gracewood has 1,000 on its waiting list. Each institution is handicapped by insufficient funds to employ qualified personnel and to improve rehabilitative programs.
4. As many as 5,000 Georgia children find their way into common jails each year because only six counties have special detention facilities.
5. Georgia has one of the highest "school drop out" rates in the United States. "Drop-outs" are seriously handicapped in the modern world. Many be come delinquent or develop other forms of personal inadequacy. A strengthened

2254

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

visiting teacher service is our best means of stopping these children early and helping them before serious trouble develops.
6. There has been a conspicuous absence of communication and coopera tion among the principal agencies responsible for serving children at both the state and county level.
7. No specific state agency has assumed leadership in the field of de veloping children's services.
8. There has been no official citizen's group informed and prepared to interpret to the public the needs of our "troubled children".
9. There has been a persistent shortage of trained personnel, and efforts to develop educational programs have been meager in comparison to the need.

WHAT THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS
1. Creation of a State Department for Children and Youth to assure the consolidation and coordination of present State programs for dealing with the problems of dependent, neglected and delinquent children.
2. Creation of fifteen member administrative board to establish policy for this new agency and to provide leadership in developing preventive and treat ment resources for troubled children regardless of where they may live in the state.
3. A provision for having the heads of the Departments of Health, Educa tion, Welfare, Labor, Corrections and Agriculture as ex-officio members of the Board of the Department of Youth and Children to seek the most effective pos sible coordination of state resources for children.
4. Selection by the Board of this Department of a Director qualified by both training and experience.
5. Development of a state program to assist local communities in the de velopment of preventive programs.
6. Development of a plan to expand local services within four years so that every child in Georgia will have access to qualified help if he should need it.
7. Formulation of a plan to develop regional detention and diagnostic centers to eliminate for all time the disgrace of lodging impressionable young children in our local jails, some of which are unfit for human habitation.
8. A provision for commitment of delinquents to the Department for Children and Youth rather than to a specific institution and a plan to diver sify treatment programs in training schools, improve the quality of staff, and provide a classification system of youngsters according to individual needs.
9. Expansion of educational and scholarship programs for the training of personnel in all "helping professions" and the establishment of a School of Social Work within the State University System.
10. A biennial Governor's Conference on Children and Youth bringing to gether citizens from every county in Georgia to review progress, discuss prob lems, exchange ideas, and publicize the need for conserving our most valuable resource--our children.

INTERIM COMMITTEE REPORTS

2255

REASONS FOR CREATING A NEW STATE DEPARTMENT FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH

1. The need for consolidation and coordination of present state resources for helping dependent, neglected, and delinquent children.
2. The need to assign responsibility for leadership in this field to a specific state agency.
3. The need for a permanent citizens group to "speak out for children."
4. The desirability of a broadly conceived plan to develop preventive and treatment services for all dependent, neglected and delinquent children.
5. The desirability of a separate department to provide a "new look" and greater emphasis on children's services.
6. The need for the Board and the Director to have direct access to the Governor and the legislature to seek funds for the development of needed services.
7. The desirability of making this department the officially designated agency to receive federal child welfare funds and thereby benefit from present programs for scholarships, research, training and personnel subsidies.

Establishing this new department will involve removing the Child Welfare Section and the Training Schools from the Welfare Department at the state level. These two operations will be coordinated and strengthened by the appoint ment of a qualified Director and additional administrative personnel.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE,

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH

1. Developing a plan that will get our children out of jails and keep them out.
2. Promoting the establishment of additional children's service at the local level toward the goal of covering all geographic regions of Georgia.
3. Improving the quality of training school programs with better diagnos tic and treatment resources.
4. Providing consultation and help to all local communities interested in developing preventive programs at the local level.
5. Promoting higher standards of performance in all local children's servives, including child welfare, juvenile courts, and private agencies.
6. Developing a program that will assure that all child caring institutions maintain standards of operation that protect the health and well-being of all children in their charge.
7. Cooperating with all other departments of state government in use and development of resources for children.
8. Supervising and setting standards for child welfare activities in local counties.
9. Administering subsides from child welfare funds.

WHAT THIS WILL COST
At present we are spending $1,700,000 in state funds to operate our train ing schools and another $300,000 to operate the Child Welfare Section of the Department of Welfare. In addition this Section administers about $700,000 federal child welfare funds--nearly 3 million dollars annually. It will take at least $150,000 to begin the work of this department.
It will be the duty of the Director and Board of the new department to pre pare future budget requests.
WHAT THIS WILL SAVE
Above all many of our children can be saved from situations which could lead them to the penitentiary. Our committee is convinced that aside from the human values at stake a better program for handling troubled children will be of great economic benefit to our state.
Every time we prevent a child from being sent to a training school we savs $2,500 per year. Every additional prison cell costs us $8,500. Every citizen who is self-sustaining saves us the cost of relief. Add to this the value of his pro duction and the taxes he pays, and it is obvious that rehabilitation is a good investment.

WHY CREATE A SEPARATE DEPARTMENT?

The committee recognizes that there is room for division of opinion as to the necessity for creating a separate department.

The committee's position is that this is an important state problem. These children, if not helped, grow up to become
our school drop-outs and unemployables
our chronic dependents on relief rolls our felons who fill our prisons our alcoholics and misdemeanants who fill our jails and city stockades
our emotionally unstable who fill our mental hospitals our neglecting and inadequate parents of tomorrow who repeat the
cycle again.

These problems cost us millions of dollars each year, not to mention the waste of human potential.

Being a state problem of this magnitude, the committee feels that this service should not be
a minor task for some larger department burdened with many other responsibilities.

This problem should have the primary attention of a group devoted to bring ing it to public attention and securing as adequate a program as state resources make possible.

The committee feels that progress has been too slow in developing services for troubled children and that a new department will bring a new focus, fresh vitalization of leadership, and will inspire public support that will enable pro grams to develop at a much more rapid and effective pace.

CONCLUSION
The creation of a new Department for Children and Youth by the 1963 General Assembly can put Georgia on the road to a new era for her troubled children. Parents and children alike can have confidence that the best facilities and professional skills will be used to give good direction to boys and girls in trouble so that they can hope to become worthwhile, useful citizens.
Our committee is unanimous in its belief that many lives of our children and youth can become more meaningful because of the foresight of the Gover nor and this General Assembly.
Respectfully submitted,
James A. Mackay, Chairman Zell Miller, Secretary
