Governor Nominee
IN Georgia Renews
Segregation Pledge.
By &c Assoeiated Press

MACON. Ca, Sept. 30.-Lt.
Gov. Marvin Griffin today
launched his campaign for pas
sage of the so-called private
school amendment as he ac-
cepted the formal Democratic
nomination as Governor Of
Georgia.
To delegates to the State
Democratic convention. Mr..
Griffin renewed his pledge that
during the time ] am Governor
there will be no mixed schools
or colleges in Georgia.
But he added that passage Of
the school segregation amend
ment- which he labeled "a sec
ond bill OF rights for the people
of our State"-is essential If
segregated schools are to be
preserved.
Won Primary Sept. 8.
The principal business Of the
convention was to give Mr..
fGriff1n the nomination he won
in the September 8 primary after
a heated campaign with eight
opponents. Nomination in the
Democratic primary Is the same
as being elected in Georgia.
Mr.. Griffin devoted the greater
portion of his acceptance speech
to the segregation issue. but in
terms more temperate than some
of his campaign speeches.
In contrast to campaign
declaration to use all means, in
cluding the militia and State
patrol if necessary to preserve
segregation, he said today:
There must be no violence OF
any kind in our State"
Called Religious Crusade.
And he said that the crusade
we are making in the South is,
in fact, a religious crusade to
preserve our form of govern
ment, based as 1t is, upon the
principles of Christian religion.
Thoughtful persons all over our
country know and appreciate
the South as the last bastion Of
liberty and freedom"
The nominee again assailed
the Supreme Court for its ruling
outlawing public school segrega-
ton. He said the court sought to
"set itself up as a super school
body"
Mr.. Griffin said that in voting
on the segregation amendment
in November, Georgians must
answer one question: do you
favor segregated schools or do
you favor mixed schools?"

Official Sees No Need
For Taxpayers Fears
OF Revenue Bureau
BY she Assoeiosed Press

BRETON WOODS, N. H..
Sept. 30.--Norman A. Sugarmarl,
assistant Internal Revenue COM
missioner, said today "there is
no need for the taxpayer to be
afraid Of the Internal Revenue
Service.
"The bureau is conducting a
public service business. Public
service means serving the people,
not harassing the taxpayer. Our
business Is your business and it
Is not conducted or controlled by
a handful Of people in Washing
ton. It is a gigantic system Of
government that depends on
the part played by all taxpay-
ers." he said.
MIR. Sugarman. who heads the
bureaus technical staff. spoke at
the 47th annual conference Of
the National Tax Association.
95 Million Returns.
He said that with 95 million
returns filed, so million in the
income tax field, it is 'hunanly
impossible to have one person or
small group determine the tax
liabilities Of all the taxpayers. =
What happens before April Is,
the new tax due day, is just as
important as what becomes of
your dollars afterwards, Mr..
Sugarman said.
How does the Internal Reve-
nue. Service accomplish the nec-
essary goals OF sound and con-
sistent tax administration? ?
Briefly" Mr.. Sugarman said.
"here are our methods.
First, the basic rules for the
application Of the tax laws are
provided by the Internal Reve-
nue. statutes themselves.
Basic Regulations Set.
Second, the Treasury De-
partment prescribes basic regu-
lations for the Interpretation,
application and implementation
Of these statutory divisions.
Next, tax forms and instruc-
tiops are issued by the national
office. These are understandable
and usable by the great majority
of taxpayers in arriving at COM
| mon solutions to their tax prob.
lens.
Fourth, II you're having trou-
BILE or don't understand your tax
obligations your local district di-
rector will help.
"And finally, the tax consult
ant, the attorney or accountant
should not be and cannot be
silent partners"

Newspapers Called
Banks Chief Medium
For Advertising

A bank poll shows newspaper
advertising Is still used more
widely than any other medium
by banks. the four-day conven-
tion Of the Financial Public Re-
lations Association was told to-
day.
At a clinic devoted to window
and lobby displays, Howard C..
Mason. manager of the Boyl-
ston- Berkeley Office Of the In
stitution for Savings, Boston,
declared:
Newspaper advertising con-
tinues far out In front as first
choice, according to- a recent
bank survey. Window and lobby
display virtually is in a second
place tie with direct mail and
outranks such media as radio,
television and billboards.'
Opportunity for Pioneers.
A great opportunity exists for
pioneering into the 80 per cent
that Is unknown about adver-
tising, George Latin Miller, vice
president. r. r. O'Connell Co.,
New York advertising agency,
said.
He said no living man knows
more than 10 per cent of what
there is to know about adver-
tising and declared 1--WE do not
know why outstanding successes
are successful"
Advertising copywriters must
know more about research tech
nlQues, about social sciences and
economics, he said. He pointed
out there is a new kind of
management now in business
responsible to the stockholders
the directors and also the public
and employees.
Ads Build Sales.
Mr.. Miller declared an ad is
a means to an end-the mouth
piece of business. He urged his
audience to use ads to build
sales.
Mr.. Miller advised the dele
gates in their ads to "take the
reader through your bank" He
said the copy writer can get a
new twist by observing the .op-
erations of the establishment.

this mornings general. session
the convention broke up into
clinics to discuss banking prob
lens.
Miss Daphne Daley. director OF
advertising and public relations,
the Bank Of Virginia, Richmond,
Va, told the business contest and
incentive programs clinic that
banking should find new ways to
serve people and thereby develop
new business. Experience shows
campaigns, contests and incen-
tive programs speed up deposits
and account growth, the clinic
was informed, but success de-
pends directly on planning and
preparation.
To Get 80 Per Cent.
During a clinic on television,
the bankers were informed that
about 80 per cent of the adj
vertising budget of most banks
represented at the meeting is
now spent on television.

"a lot OF Delaware automobile
drivers act as II they were driving
down the Pennsylvania Turnpike
with the whole road to them
selves" c. T. Foster, Jr. Vice
President for Public Safety of the
Delaware Safety Council made this
comment today as he discussed the
need for the current Know and
Obey Traffic Laws program by
the Delaware Safety Council and
the National Safety Council. TOO
many of the people driving cars
today have practically no sense of
responsibility" Mr.. Foster said.
They drive as they please and ex-
pect everyone else on the road to
look out for them. Unless they can
be persuaded to change their ir-
responsible attitude, 1 see little
hope of reducing the present heavy
traffic accident toll" Mr.. Foster
called upon all citizens to lend
their full support to the Know and
Obey Traffic Laws program. He
asked the cooperation of women's
clubs; civic, business, and fraternal
organizations, and churches. He
also urged every individual to ac-
quaint himself with local traffic
laws and to obey them after he
has learned them. IF every driver
and pedestrian would suddenly de-
eide to observe traffic laws and
regulations and to practice safe
walking and driving rules" Mr..
Foster said" the local traffic pic
ture would change over night. In
fact, experts estimate that if such
change in conduct could be ac-
complished, the annual traffic toll
could be reduced 80 per cent"
