Korean Vets To
Get Free Drivers
Licenses In Ga.

ATLANTA, Jan. 3 (ANP)-
The state of Georgia wants to
show it's Korean veterans that it
appreciates the sacrifices they are
making.
Veterans of the Korean war with
more than 90 days service, like
Georgia's veterans of World War
II, will receive free lifetime auto
drivers licenses.
The first move in that direction
came last week when Gov. Her
man Talmadge suspended the col
lection of drivers license fees for
veterans of the Korean conflict.
In an executive order, the gov
ernor directed that veterans be is
sued lifetime drivers licenses free
until the general assembly, which
meets in January, passes necessary
legislation to embody the order
into Georgia law. He said he would
ask the lawmakers to amend the
present drivers license law to in
clude veterans of the present Ash
attic war.

Senate Subcommittee Investigating Elec-
tions, and, like Senator Fulbright has
done on another Senate committee, she
has not let herself be blind to the faults
of her fellow party members when the
interests of the people Of the United
States demanded that they be exposed.
Senator Smith found the Maryland
election campaign as defamatory as for

and she said so. Senator Smith found
that Senator Mccarthy of Wisconsin had
taken an active and deplorable part in
the Maryland election campaign-and

which is considered reprehensible.
Senator Smith has shown the way to
maintain Republican Party responsible

way to maintain Democratic Party re-
bers of both political parties to support
these views in the interest of pre-
venting the breakdown OF the faith Of
the American people in the party system
itself For the growth of the movement
for nonpartisan elections is directly at
tributable to the fact that party respon-
sibility and responsible party leadership
has been lacking.
No candidate for political elective
Office should be forced to be the winner
of name-calling contest in which issues
are obScured. A shining example Of this
was the Maryland election campaign,
where names were called and an hon.
orable mans reputation "Smeared" be-

as vested in the Constitution itself,
rights which were also upheld by Judge
Learned Hand, because the Constitution
and the American courts of justice
provide that only real evidence and not
hearsay evidence, may be used to con-
vict people.
I am as proud of Senator Margaret
Chase Smith as if were a member of
her political party. and hope that in
the subsequent election Investigations
now scheduled, that if the shoe fits the
members of my own party, some Demo-
cratic Senator will have the moral in
tegrity to follow Senator Smiths
example, for "the righteous wrath of an

If conservative Republicans want con-

a conservative administration, in place
of the present so-called liberal" one.
then they should take more realistic
position in trying to bring about such

Republicans must recognize that most
of the prejudice between them and con-

from the Civil War. They should real

Cruz dos AImos

Cruz das Almas does not exist It merely is
q name arbitrarily applied to little village in
the hills of the Sierra de Sac Francisco not far
from Sac Paulo in Southern Brazil. The desig-
nation was chosen by scientists who have been
living there and making documentary study OF
the community for the Smithsonian Institution.
Among the individuals assigned to the work are
Donald Pierson and his wife, Helen Bachelor.
The latest published result of their enterprise
is 25O-page brochure recently released by the
Institute of Social Anthropology
How wide is the scope of the inquiry at
mythical yet very real Cruz das Almas may be
judged from the fact that it starts with
review of the villages roots in the past" and
then progressively deals with soil climate, water
supply, plant and animal life, SEX age and racial
distribution, techniqueS OF subsistence food and
food habits, dwellings, and furnishings, dress,
tools, weights and measures, division of labor,
agriculture, cattle raising and dairying, manu-
featuring transportation, money, credit and
wages, language etiquette, family relations, rit-
ual. ceremony and belief, political behavior,
conflict, solidarity, humor, social change and
social disorganzation.
The whole inclusive gamut of civilization in
rural Brazil is embraced in the list Of subject
headings. Life obviously is hard for the inhab-
itants of imaginary but factual Cruz das Almas.
The people are poor. they maintain themselves
under conditions hostile to comfort and safety,
their patterns of daily toll are arduous and COM
pelling; just keeping ahead of the plaques of
ticks and ants and mosquitoes is strenuous
business Yet the entire picture adds up to some
thing each member of the community loves.

The u. N. Is Ready in Korea

Regardless of how the Communist aggressors
reply to Gen. Ridgways stern and scathing
message on their faced lies and their vicious
fabrication OF incidents" to justify suspension"
OF the truce talks at Kaesong, the world can be
reasonably certain of this much: That If the
talks break down completely, and the enemy
strikes again. our American and allied United
Nations forces in Korea will be ready to give back
more than they receive.
Gen. Van Fleet, commander of the 9Th Army
has spoken with emphatic confidence on that
score, and there Is no reason to believe that he
has spoken just for the sake OF speaking or
delivering an ill-founded pep talk. To begin with
he has pointedly reminded everybody that his
U. N. troops during the past two months of the
truce-negotiation lull, have been undergoing
intensive training, and he has expressed 1t as his
1rm faith that If they have to return to fulscale
battle ''They will do so with hate and eagerness"
and with the physical and spiritual where
withal to withstand any new offensive even If the
enemy employs more men, tanks, guns and planes
than ever before.
In saying this, Gen. Van Fleet has not guar
anteed that another enemy offensive, If one is
launched, will be stopped dead in its tracks
but he has declared that Il don't believe We'll
have to give nearly as much ground as we did
in April when the Chinese and Korean Reds
made considerable headway before being griev-
ously smashed. Beyond that, wholly apart from
whatever initial gains they might score in a
new drive, he has said that I've been feeling
it would be great opportunity for us, for them
to attack"-an opportunity in which our fire
power conceivably would cut them up even more
fearsomely than it did last spring In any case,
according to Gen. Van Fleet, they have been
terribly hurt" already and they cannot hope
to defeat the U. N.
If this is so-and there is good cause to take
Gen. Van Fleets words at face value-the enemys
response to Gen. Ridgways message to Kaesong
should be such as to permit resumption of the
talks In effect, they have been told to choose
now whether they want to negotiate for an
honorable armstice or have more war, perhaps
on greatly intensified scale. Whatever their
answer, they can be sure that the U. N command
is ready for them.
