It would incite and inflame the- passions and prejudices of a people lo the extent ties possess against the tyranny of momentary majorities. I do not wish to have my name listed as one of those who look this freedom away from the world when the world most needed it." Johnson went on to argue there was no such thing as a "reasonable limit" on debate, insisting that unlimited debate was of more value to Negroes than whites. He denied that a single piece of valuable legislation had ever died at the hands of a filibuster, concluding: "Cloture Is, perhaps, the deadliest weapon in the arsenal of parliamentary procedures. Once a majority is armed with that weapon, the majority can tee run by Mississippi's Senator James Eastland, violent foe of civil rights legislation. Oppose any limitation on clo- lure.

capable of rehabilitating our cities. But it 'is sure bet (hat Dr. Galbraith has never made the electrifying acquaintance of Mrs. Mary Hillyer of Savannah. al funds from Washington, Mrs.

Hillyer began an operation eighteen years ago that has transformed downtown areas of this ancient seaport, recovering old architectural beauties that had been hidden for more than century under sagging roofs, peeling paint and mountainous piles of coal and refuse. I spent one of the most fascinating mornings of my life listening to Mrs. Hillyer tell her story. An Illinois girl who was trained in Chicago as a singer, she came to Savannah when her husband, H. Hansell' Hillyer, a developer of utilities, took hold of the run down Savannah Gas Company.

Mr. Hillyer's company possessed six a tanks which reared their cumbersome bulk hard by the Savannah River amid some of the worst slums on the Atlantic seaboard. Thsre were rooming liouses in this old trustees, garden village area which slept shipyard workers in eight-hour shifts that used Ihe beds around the clock. Mrs. Hillyer, who was capable of translating her singer's equally discerning love for the "frozen music" of architecture, poisoned by tar, pitch and coal dust, she saw magnolias and camellias blooming in mind's eye.

She envisioned dignified dwellings with eighteenth century lines in tumbledown shacks, and tasteful insurance company offices in old warehouses. When the gas company razed five of its six great tanks after going over to piped-in natural gas (leaving one tank for a stand-by), she saw trim courts and lawns in their exposed foundations. Taking her proposition to her husband, she obtained gas company permission to make wer one old slum house. The idea was thai if she couldn't rent at a profit, her husband could use it as an office. Everyone told her that nobody who was anybody in Savannah would move lo a downtown slum area to live in one charming building, but, luckily, she found a tenant from out of town, a doctor who had come south from New York's Greewich Village.

This gave her the courage to go on with her plan. The directors of the gas company, however, couldn't see tie- ing money in a real estate venture. with her husband's backing, Mrs. Hillyer took the slums of the trustees' garden village area off the director's hands. Bit by bit Mrs.

When development began showing a neat profit after seven op-eight years, she and her husband became conscience stricken.

So they sold Ihe whole thing back to the gas company. Today, with twenty five restored buildings, the company collects a $195,000 annual on $750,000 investment. Rents that once brought in $11 or $17 a month now go for $75 up to $500 per month. What Mary Hillyer did to transform ten acres of filth has proved wildly contagious. Mills B.

And visitors from all over the South come to see what Is happening to Savannah.
