Georgia. MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1933 Page 4 ininmnii- a nearby drugstore for a coke and, after we had chatted a little, I asked the inevitable question, "What did you preach about yesterday morning?" What he answered has lingered long in my mind. Whatever inspiration he may have offered to his parishioners I do not know, but i times. From the way he 'has started out, in fact, it offers a tenable thesis to assume that he has set this as one of his major goals. Aside from the main body, ot his cabinet ap-pointments, he has shown little evidence of partisanship.

And even here he broke with tradition by naming as his has gorged itself and within which there are troubles. Everything is not well wTithin the satellite countries. Russia needs time to consolidate and eliminate the last remaining vestiges of opposition. Proof of troubles within Russia is the current purges and the anti-Semitism sparked by Malenkov himself. When things go awry, dictators must have scapegoats.

The party must 1 i The Shadow of Stalin Pulse of the Public 'Cause-Effect9 Law Is Important In Solving Free Trade Situation he did inspire me at that drugstore counter on that Monday morning. He said: "I preached on the trinity of each day's experience. I said that there are three persons in every relationship. There is myself, the other man and God. It takes two persons and God to love or hat.

It takes two persons and God to serve or oppress. It takes two persons and God to damn or save." I asked my friend to expand these ideas and he continued: "In every human relationship I am an important member. The other man is important. God is most important. It would be easy and natural for me to hate another person if he treated me meanly.

But Clod makes the difference between my hating him or loving hiin. I can't hate any man for whom Christ died. I love the man. sometimes in spite of him and in spite of myself, because God is the important Person in our relationship." We had another coke and he added this thought: "Do I serve or oppress my fpl-low man? Oppression is natural, sometimes instinctive. We all aspire to positions of pre-eminence.

"We like to be master and to make others our slaves. All of this has something to do with the creed of the non-Christian the strong survive and the vvrak are trampled. But I don't oppress the vvak and I don't seek to dominate. God i a member of my relationship with every man I meet, so I become a servant and a helper. "What should my attitude be toward the other man? I might rob him, slander him, gossip about him.

If I consider him unworthy I'd want to punish him. That would be my relation if our relation concerned only him and me. But our relationship includes God. Instead of condemning the man, I seek to save him from my maliciousness." I asked my friend what text he preached from. He said Romns 14.7 "For none of us liveth to himself and none dieth to himself." In all our living and in all our dying, human association is hallowed and blessed because God in Christ participates.

Secretary of Labor a man who not only was an avowed Democrat, but who openly supported his opponent, Adlai Stevenson, in the election campaign. Further evidence of his apparent determination to hold partisan practices to a minimum is the series of White House luncheons that has been inaugurated for members of Congress. Republicans and Democrats alike are being invited to them, often in mixed groups. But more positive proof of the President's nonpartisanship is to be found in the way he has dismissed certain matters which many Republicans sought to make vital issues of during the campaign and since. After viewing'the picture from the inside, General Ike and his top cabinet advisors have practically thrown all of that out the window as so much campaign rubbish.

He agrees openly with his honest budget director, Secretary of Defense Wilson and Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey that it is going to be an extremely difficult job to balance receipts and expenditures any time soon. And where he has added insult to injury with some of his more partisan party leaders in Congress is in saying that if balancing'the budget were an easy task, it would have been done long before even under past Democratic administrations. That "has been hard for some to take. As for tax reduction, the President has put his foot down on that firmly. Realistically and politely, he has reminded Congress that it would be foolhardy to reduce taxes before the budget is brought in line.

Then there is the matter of the secret agreements of Yalta and Potsdam, about which the Republican platform screamed so loudly during the campaign. General Eisenhower slipped a bit on this, himself, in his State of the Union message to Congress, but after looking into the matter and learning the facts, it may be said, to his credit, that he changed the tune completely. He now agrees there is nothing in the agreements to be repudiated, as the GOP platform called for, save for the way the Russians lived up to their part of it all. It all adds up to the thought that General Eisenhower is out to give the country an honest and impartial administration of its governmental affairs, divorced as much from partisan politics as the politicians in his own party will permit. Leo Aihman No Tern Was Left Unstoned rate on income I have ever paid.

Do you blame your 1933 tax increase on Ike and the Republicans? MRS. L. B. ENGLISH. a Critics of 'South Pacific Called 'Publicity Seekers' Atlanta I can see no "underlying philosophy inspired by Moscow," and no "racial propaganda" in "South Pacific" as interpreted by two legislators.

Obviously, such statements were made by petty politicians seeking publicity. Representative Jones and Senator Sheppard only can speak for the district that they represent and not for the people of Georgia. I seriously question whether they have justly represented the thinking of their own constituents. It is dangerous when politicians attempt to curtail freedom in a free society. It is dangerous to our civil liberties when an author has to have a knowledge of state laws before transforming ideas into plays.

Thus, the express attempt of the legislators to seek future control of theatrical presentations by law is unwise, unsound and not in keeping with the best democratic principles. I rather think that the good will engendered by "South Pacific" creates an impenetrable bulwark against the inroads of foreign ideologies. J. B. L.

R. J. High School Senior JVrites Prayer for Modern Times Clarkston Here is a poem composed by one of our Clarkston senior boys which I think is an appropriate thought for the days in which we live: A PRAYER Our Father be with our boys across the sea. And help them, Father, to have faith in Thee. Help them after a weary day To fall on their knees and pray; Help the ones whose wounds dost burn, Be with the ones who shall not return.

Be with their families, most Holy One, The. mothers, fathers, wives, daughters and sons. Help the ones who have not met Thee, Help them some way Thy light to Help the ones who give the orders. Be with our boys as they sleep in their quarters. Be with our President, help him to find A way to put this war behind.

Hint of Russia's need to improve relations with the West was also contained in the message by Vishinsky to the UN before he left for Moscow Friday in which he said the Soviet Union will strive toward "developing business-like relations with all countries." The tactics of subversion and infiltration of the free world will probably be stepped up. However, there is no evidence that Russia intends to risk an immediate war unless we slow down our efforts to build the free world's strength.

Stalin's death offers us an opportunity and a challenge to further our own objectives. The Eisenhower administration has been given its first great opportunity for fresh new approaches to the tasks that lie ahead. Political Jobs Grow But Need Diminishes County Commissioner Shorty Doyal has done the public a service in protesting the steady creation of extra Fulton County jobs. We caftnot understand the stubborn defiance of the intent of the voters when they voted to reduce the duplication of services in order to create a less expensive, more efficient setup. Fulton County's territory has been reduced almost in half.

Its duties are less. And yet there reportedly are large increases in many departments, beyond limits existing at the time the Plan of Improvement went into effect. The grand juries have criticized the county operation on more than one occasion. Yet we can only assume that in defiance of all public opinion, at least some of the commission is determined to build up political strength by adding jobs. We do hope it is reasonable and proper for the current grand jury to investigate and let the public know the facts about swollen county employment, despite the fact there is much less work to be done.

Butter Makers Try Beauty as Sales Aid Butter has long been on the skids. The golden product of the cow has fought a losing battle with the lower-priced but nutritious oleomargarine. Dairymen have carried on the war by lobbying for restrictions on the sale of oleo, particularly a high tax on the butter replacement. Their weapons haven't proved effective. Margarine use continues to rise, butter sales to fall.

Now the dairymen are changing tactics. They're trying to sell their product on its merits with glamour. At Janesville in Wisconsin dairy-land, "dimpled charm and taste," the Milwaukee Journal reports, "are being pitted against price in the latest chapter of the long-standing feud between the butterfat of the dairy cow and the oil of soybean and cotton seed." Pretty girls are visiting food stores handing out pats of butter and with it a sales pitch on its "unequaled taste, natural vitamins and diet values." Well, more power to them! If the dairies can sell butter, let them sell it legitimately and not by beating their competition down through unfair tactics and high tariffs. Let the two greases compete fairly on the market and the customers will make the choice. They know they get what they pay for, rarely more and seldom less.

Pcnsacola Journal Communist "Lawyers Receive the Word Soviet Lawyers came in for recent criti Calvin Cox Let's Not Misuse School Authority Governor Talmadge's order giving local school boards greater authority opens the way for decentralization of education in Georgia, giving more responsibility -toUocal communities. In theory, that looks 'good. In practice, the good should outweigh" the" bad. It is a wrong assumption that it will mean the pay raise the Georgia Education Association has requested. Even should local systems fire supervisors and other nonteaching personnel hired by the state which is not likely the savings would be only a little more than $1,000,000, not the $8,000,000 necessary for the 10 per cent hike.

However, the option is now with local communities. When the State Board of Education attempted to eliminate these supervisors a few years ago the people set up such a howl that the effort was abandoned. We think it should have been. They perform a useful function. The governor's order does permit local, boards to load their teachers as they see fit, subject to accreditation rules that say 35 pupils per teacher is the peak.

It will permit them to fix their own salary scales within the MFP minimums and to supplement these from local funds as they see fit. This is already the practice in many school systems. Under the order, local boards can hire as many or as few teachers as they see fit high priced or low priced in accord with the type of education they want their children to receive. As now, standards will vary from county to county. Some systems will remain splendid while others will remain below standard.

Educators argue that it is difficult to raise educational standards at the -local level in many counties because' of the lackadaisical attitude of local leaders, local politics and local prejudice. And the so-called counties," where tax assessments and tax rates are low and bonded indebtedness for building is limited by law, could use the order to lower their standards further. This must be avoided at any cost. In candor it must be said that many of them are "poor by choice." They lack vision and care more for their own petty political security than they do about their children. If used as an excuse to neglect efforts to equalize school facilities, the order could have disastrous consequences.

With Supreme Court decisions pending, it would be sheer stupidity to invite the court to break down segregation because the "separate but equal" facilities have not been provided. To neglect Negro schools, to fire Negro teachers and to use the order to hamstring the equalization program would be fatal to the cause of segregation. The order will have little immediate effect. The minimums of state aid will be the same in all localities. How this is used is now left up to local boards.

If economies can be effected, the order permits them without interference from the. state. If local boards want to improve their systems over and above that possible through their proportionate share of state funds, they are free to do so. If it encourages counties and cities to take a new look at their school systems, their tax methods and arouses a determination in them to do their best for their own children, the net effect of the order should be good. Local communities should assume more cf the responsibility they have come to look upon as too exclusively that of the state.

The West Must Not Let Down Its Guard To look upon the death of Josef Stalin and the accession to power of Georgi Malenkov in the Soviet Union as good news for the West is foolish optimism. It could very well be the opposite. The free world must not let down its guard. Whoever holds power, the classic doctrine of world domination of the czars and Lenin and Stalin following them will remain the basic aim of Soviet policy. Whether the methods erri- -ployed toward this end will be as dynamic or successful as those of Stalin remain to be seen, but let us not beguile ourselves into believing their purposes will change.

Malenkov. is Stalin-trained in the terrorist pattern. The fact of his meteoric rise indicates his ability to master Communist techinques. He is pictured as being as ruthless as Stalin and his hatred of the West is a matter of record. However, there are signs that temporarily the new leadership does not eek all-out war.

The Kremlin must If the cheerful fellow you meet on the street each day has a broader grin than usual this morning or the office wit makes with a lousier pun, then you have run on to a Joy Scout. A Joy Scout is one who smiles and helps others smile. This is his day. It's the beginning of National Smile Week, so designated by the National Smile Getting a Break On Stalin Story When news "breaks" is of great significance to newspapers. A major story occurring during the period of publication of a newspaper is said to have broken on that paper's time.

This "jargonistic" approach is leading to a discussion of an outstanding example of the operation of news break: the Stalin Week Committee and dedicated to the proposition of giving folks a lift. Surely it is no coincidence that National Smile Week should be those seven days immediately before the income tax deadline. After Match 15 we can afford to joke. Next week we'll all he like i -'w uA Atlanta The advocates of "free trade" find a sympathetic ear from many. Nevertheless, it seems to me that before coming to any decision we should stop, look and listen.

Our great productive capacity on the farm and in the factory concerns us all and with minimum wages, ceiling prices on farm products, how can we advocate free trade under these circumstances, along with the fact that a great part of the income of Uncle Sam comes as a result of profits? And if profits are reduced, taxes will be increased since our income will be lowered. We hear many who say "let us go by the old law of supply and demand." Those advocates overlook that today we must deal with the law of cause and effect and if we desert the farmer at this time and he is unable to raise sufficient food to take care of us it would be a tragedy as far as our food is concerned. Even today we must find ways and means to produce for consumption and we want to encourage business with our friends across the seas, but we want to do it intelligently and in a manner that will not prove a boomerang. In the last analysis, as stated, we must deal with both the law of supply and demand and with the law of cause and effect. ARMAND MAY.

ISight Busses Are Scored For Ignoring Schedules Atlanta I would like to call to the attention of the investigators of the Atlanta Transit Co. the difference in the quality of service we are getting since the investigation was proposed, and that we were getting a month ago. Have more busses been added, or are the boys able to make better time since they are being checked? The last two or three busses leaving town at night should be checked for ing three and four minutes ahead of schedule. This causes working people who expect to catch the bus to have to wait 20-30 minutes on the next one at that hour of night. MARY SMITH.

Neiv Jersey Paper Says Thanks for the Laugh Linden, N. J. The New York Post quoted your paper's comment on the raise supposedly granted Linden teachers by a generous board of education." A daily newspaper published outside of Linden but in the North Jersey area was responsible for the erroneous report, which I suppose you got through a wire service. If anyone spiked the punch, it wasn't the school board members who were affected by it. They knew what they were doing and so did the teachers.

The story has been a touchy point with our local teachers. Their out-of-town colleagues now regard them as rolling in wealth, which they aren't. Thanks for devoting some attention to Linden. Your comment was good for a laugh. BOB McGARVEY, Editor, Linden Observer.

'Happy, Hypocritical Life9 Foreseen After Censorship Atlanta We have a censor for movies and last week a board was set up, to take steps to remove any reading matter which the board thinks unfit. Note they claim this board is not set up to censor. I'm wondering how one of the bestsellers will stand the scrutiny of this committee; also, how long will advertisements of ladies under-garments pictured in the papers be allowed to be published? Let's destroy all books having any reference to the realism of human animals and clothe ourselves so that no part of our anatomy will be exposed, and live a happy, hypocritical life. G. W.

CRANFORD. Maybe Democrats Booted Themselves Out of Office Atlanta The Republican Party is "Big Business." It is of big business, by big business and for big business. But for the last four years the Democratic Party had been of the crooks, by the crooks and for the crooks, and that and not the Republicans is what put them out of office. The people just could not take any more Harry Vaughns, 5 per centers, deep-freezes, mink coats, Internal Revenue crooks, etc. No, the average man has not had a decrease in income tax.

"I had hoped," she declared, "some time to get a nest egg aside to take care of the summonses." As it was, she had to shell out 52,500 in cash and a check for the remainder.

"Why, I laugh first and then think backwards," was his reply. He was one of a profession whose business it is to make America smile. One of the top radio-TV comedians. I am told, employs seven gagwriters. The results indicate that often he is paying for unskilled labor.

The professional punster leaves no phrase unturned as in the case of him who said of the little hoy that kept throwing rocks at the "He left no tern unstoned." If that evokes a groan instead of a grin, remember that Bennett Cerf says, "It's not considered good form to laugh at a pun. You express your appreciation by wailing piteously, and the harder you wail, the better you like the pun." Cerf hasn't done so bad, even if he does force the play with his cow which had a fodder complex. Furthermore, she loved to imbibe ink and mooed indigo. a TO GET SMILE WEEK off to a good start. L.

Only a few odds and ends were left to clean up whPn the bells began to tap on the teletype machines. Two lines of typing stood out on the United Press machine as though they were burned in rock: "LONDON (Wednesday), March 4 Radio Moscow reported today that Prime Minister Stalin is seriously ill." The telegraph editor gave out the news, and things picked up.

The copy boy, at the direction of the news editor, picked up his feet and put them down again in rapid strides for the reference room; he had been ordered to secure all two-column cuts of Stalin. The news editor alerted the makeup editor to hold page one, by that time largely put together. Revision commenced. A new page one "dummy" was drawn, changing as few heads as possible. The telegraph editor began to feed the Stalin story back to the copy desk for reading and for writing of a head.

From there it was rushed on to the composing room. Everyone was keyed up; a race was on to get as much as possible of a big story into the paper in the shortest possible time. The managing editor said to hold the press time an "extra 30 minutes; that took a bit of the pressure off. A few minutes after announced starting time the papers were up. A huge seven-column "line" stretched across page one, a two-column picture of Stalin was under the head along with the story.

Inside were reactions of persons quizzed on the street here in Atlanta and a biography of Premier Stalin. When news of the dictator's death came, the morning newspapers once again got the break. And this time the news came earlier in the night, taking a bit of the pressure off. But still there was that deep feeling of satisfaction The story had broken on our time. Moultrie Observer Legislature Needs Action, Not Friction There has been evidence of friction between the House and Senate during recent days.

The Georgia legislature now is in adjournment until November. Perhaps their differences can be ironed out between now and their return to the Capitol. Good government demands it. Seveial bills of significance failed to become law because of adjournment without final action by the Senate. One of them was the important uniform traffic code measure.

The House approved the bill after holding it for many days, but the Senate voted adjournment without taking up and adopting the measure. Leaders in the Senate contended that the House "monkeyed around" too long with it. thus not giving the Senate ample opportunity to study the 38-page uniform traffic proposal. House leaders, meanwhile, indicated that in their opinion the Senate deliberately withheld action on the bill. Senate officers declared that some six Senate-inspired bills had been tabled without fair hearing by the House.

This is not what the people of Georgia send their legislators to Atlanta for. Their assigned task is to attend to the business of the state as it relates to legislative matters. Constant friction between the two houses will accomplish little of permanent value to Georgians. Let's hope the House and Senate" patch up their differences before November so they "may serve the citizens without unnecessary controversy. cism hy the official Russian newspaper "Izvestia." Apparently the barristers are not careful enough about their ideology.

In an outstanding example of complicated phrasing and gobbledygook Izvestia warned: "Soviet jurists must energetically struggle with manifestations of bourgeois ideology in our jurisprudence." The Communist newspaper was advising the lawyers that they had better forget any western concepts of justice they might still hold. In a land where a man is definitely guilty upon accusation, where human rights are ignored, where trials are simply ceremonies for public confession of guilt, it is not surprising that lawyers should be restrained. What is surprising; is the fact that there are still lawyers left in the land. digest some of the empire upon which it I.
