Ex. Gov. Arnall Raps
Georgia Voting System
BY Will v. Nicely
FLINT. Mich. Feb. 3 (ANP)-

FLINT, Mich, Feb. 8 (ANP)-
An outspoken attack against the
voting systems of Georgia and
South Carolina was made here last
week by ex-Georgia Go. Ellis Ar
nall. Speaking before a meeting
in Flint town hall, he declared:
"While we are speaking for
justice to small nations, let US
speak out for justice to all groups
in the United States"
Pointing to the voting system
in South Carolina, and particularly
to former Sec'y. of State James
F. Byrnes, he continued: "While
a former secretary of state was
pleading in UN assembly for the
right of the Bulgars to vote, one
third of the people in his own state
could not vote.
"We of the south know our own
faults and are trying to correct
them," he asserted, and criticized
the north for tolerating disgrace
full slums, suffering and preju-
dice.
"There are no four freedoms,
nor 10, nor 100 freedoms. There
is just one basic freedom-the
liberty of a man toll i've as he will
so long as he doest not harm the
welfare Of Others"

Political Picture
 Shaping Up Across The Nation

WASHINGTON, - {P)-While Republicans in Idaho held a party meeting to pick II delegates Go the national convention, main pei itical interests centered today on COP primary two weeks off.
 A stiff fight was shaping up in the May 4 Ohio contest, where Harold E. Stassen and Senator Robert A. Taft are due to lock horns. Taft suddenly abandoned a scheduled speaking tour in Yer mont to concentrate on the coming battle in his home state.
 The Idaho political event was one of two on tap for Saturday The other was in Kentucky, where Democrat John A. Whitaker is unopposed in special Congress- ional election for the seat of Earle C. Clements, now the states gov ernor.
 Idaho's COP delegates are ex- pected to go to the Philadelphia nominating convention without in structionS. But the Ohio elections may test the strength of the Re- publican hopefuls who have slates entered.
 Stassen. who looms large in the nationwide Republican race fol- lowing successful decisive victor ies in Wisconsin and Nebraska, has entered contests for 23 of O. hio's 53 delegates.
 In Cleveland, meanwhile, Taft said of his chances in Ohio, where Stassen's supporters are claiming 10 to l2 votes: Things are gen. erally favorable"
 At the same time, President Truman, who is being opposed within his own party for the dem ocratic nomination, receive a com mendation from the New York state demoratic committee.
 Though the committee made no effort to instruct its l6 delegates at-large it selected, it's resolution was considered as a sign that the president may get a big share of New York's 98 convention votes.
