Jeky|I Island Sought
As Park for Plain
People Of Georgia
BIZ he As.oeiutsd pre.,

ATLANTA, June 4.-The State
OF Georgia is mapping q court
battle to take possession Of one of
the worlds most exclusive play
grounds, owned for 81 years by 100
millionaire families from the North.
Gov. M. e. Thompson said yes
terday the State Is determined to
convert Jekyn Island, q gold-plated
winter resort of Georgia's SOUTH
eastern coast, into State park for
the plain people Of Georgia.
Since 1855, the Isle has been owned
by q club limited to 100 members,
who not only must be miIlionaires
but must actively direct major
financial or business interests.
On the Islands beaches, accessible
only by yacht or plane, the MorganS
Rockefellers, Goulds, Bakers, Ba-
ruchs and Pulitzers have relaxed
in perfect privacy.
Condemnation Proceedings Ordered.
Today Gov. Thompson said the
present owners refuse to selI-and
he has instructed Attorney General
Eugene Cook to file condemnation
proceedings immediately.
The 3,500-acre Jekyll Island is
10 miles from Brunswick.
Civilization has touched the island
only Tor the comfort and recreation
OF Its millionaire owners. There Is
q huge clubhouse which .&Gov.
Thompson estimated could be con-
verted into . hotel for 800 guests.
There are 22-room winter mansions
which Georgia would turn into
boarding houses. The State also
plans to construct camp sites and
cottages.
Besides the 18-hole golf course,
there are bride paths, swimming
pools, . polo field, yacht basin, al
most unparalleled opportunities for
hunting and fishing, and q private
airport.
Gov. Thompson said Jekyll Islands
nine miles of beaches are the finest
In Georgia. when you realize" he
said. that only three miles Of the
40 miles Of beaches along the
Georgia coast are open to the people
Of Georgia, you can realize what
q beach like this will mean to the
Georgian of average means"
The island was sold by the Du
Bignon family OF Savannah, Ga, to
q group of New York. Boston and
Philadelphia financiers In 1886 for
ti25,000.
Gov. Thompson estimated that "a
fair price" now would be $3.50, 900 to
k750. 900.

|Presbyferians Urge
Civil Liberties for
All U. 5. Classes
BY the Associated Press

MONTREAL, N. c., June 4.-The
Presbyterian Church In the United
States, winding up It's 87th General
Assembly. urged Its local churches
to protect civil liberties OF "all kinds
and classes of Americans"
Ending six days Of deliberations
here last night, the Assembly
adopted q report that struck out at
"all organizations and individuals
whose aim and purpose is to
hinder any American nlinorities In
the exercise Of their civil rights"
Also In the report approved In the
concluding four-hour session were
provisions opposing Government aid
to private and church supported in
situations and condemning drink
ing scenes" in motion pictures.
Drops Section on Russia.
Omitted from the report was a
section dealing with Soviet-Ameri-
can relations. The section, stricken
out Of the report after extended de-
bate, had urged "our people to
guard carefully what they say about
Russia" The section added that
the statement that war between
America and Russia is inevitable
was q conjecture biased more on
fears than facts"
The commissioners struck out the
contested section after DR.. Blanton
Belk OF Richmond declared the
assembly did not have sufficient
time to consider the Russian ques.
ton fully.
Also rejected In the assemhly's
report was an amendment which
proposed Christian patience and
firmness" in Russian relations
strong national preparedness and
a churchwide prayer movement fol
the "evangelization Of Russia" The
amendment was offered by DR.. r. w

Increase Noted
In Birth Rate
Average Life Expectancy Of
Babies Scars During
Past Century.

MINNEAPOLIS. Flying al
supersonic speeds, the stork now is
delivering babies to the United
States at the record rate of seven
every minute, more than 10000
each "a hours. At the current birth
rate, more than three and three
quarter million American babies
will be born in 1947, exceeding the
previous record total of 1916 by
more than half a million, and al
most equalling the entire population
of the United States at the time of
the census of 1890.
If these babies had been born a
century ago, in 1847, a study by
Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance company points out, one out of
six, more than 600, 900, would die
before reaching their first birthday
anniversary. B e C a S of the
marked improvement in infant care
in the past century, only one out of
each 81 of the babies born this year,
or less than 200, 900 out of three and
three-quarter millions, will fail to
reach their first birthday anniver-
sary.
Had these children been born in
1847, the study goes on, nearly one
third, or more than LOO, 900, would
never see their tenth birthday ami
versary. But of those born in 1947
only one out of 16-fewer than 240,-
000-will die before the age of 10.
Many to See Age 67.
Average life expectancy of babies
born in 1847 was approximately 80
years, which meant survival until
only 1886-not long enough to see
the turn of the new century. But the
babies being born this year have a
present average life expectancy OF
81 years, enough to let them see the
year 2014 AID.
If born in 1847, and fortunate
enough to survive their first haz-
ardous year, infants faced tubercu-
losis as the major killer of that
epoch, followed in order of NOR
tally by pneumonia, diarrheal dis
eases, heart disease, cerebral hem
orrhage, diphtheria, typhoid fever,
malaria, Bright's disease and can
Ger. Nationwide mortality rate sta
tistics were not kept at that time,
but annual death rates in principal
cities ranged from 80 to more than
40 per thousand of population, due
in part to scourges of yellow fever,
cholera and smallpox.
Menaces Disappear.
Babies born in 1947 enter an en-
vironment from which these last
three menaces have almost disap-
peared, the study points out. Today,
tuberculosis is seventh from the top
in mortality rates; the mortality
tables now are headed by heart dis
ease and cancer, due mainly to the
fact that so many more people live
to the older age brackets subject
to these ailments.
Today's youngsters must be o
alert to avoid accidents, in order to
survive; accidents, not including
hose involving motor vehicles, are /:

motor vehicle accidents alone rate [:

A AT LAST

After sixteen years of continuous deficits, the government
will have a balance of about $1LO00,O00,000 for the fiscal veal
which has just ended.
This is not a great amount in view of the mounting de-
mands upon government, but it is a welcome change from the
large deficits which have piled up for more than a decade.
It is interesting to note that the result roughly meets the
revised budget bureaus estimate of last April, but falls Tar
short of the optimistic expectations of some members OF con-
gress when they were pushing the tax reduction bill.
tt is also interesting to note that the national debt has
been reduced by about twelve billion dollars in the past twelve
months. However, it should be noted that this was accomplish
ed amost entirely by the use of the treasury's working balance.
During the war wears, this was maintained at a high level.
Secretary of Commerce w. Averel Hartman, who has just
completed a survey of European economic problems, says that
"they all boil down to wheat and COAL"
This may be something of an over-simpifcation but no
one can deny the Importance of grain and fuel in the program
of rehabilitation. Until the agriculture of Europe exceeds Its
pre-war production, there will be a demand for grain from other
areas. The same can be said of the coal mines.
