Immediately after the compile

Should Mr.. Talmadge follow
this course, he will be almost
sure of success, for he was a
popular Governor. He will have
to remain out of Office only a
year longer than if he tries and
wins for the Senate-which he
may not. and probably will not
do. Also. if Mr.. Talmadge runs
against Senator George and
loses he would weaken himself

wind up the series December 10.
Announcement of his decision
which it is believed has already
been made-is expected to fol-
low soon afterward. He has
tested sentiment in his home
State and found it favorable. He
has put himself through the
wringer, physically, and found it
agreed with him.
When former Gov. Herman
Talmadge and his friends laid
down an anti-George propa-
ganda barrage many months ago,
it was designed to scare Sena-
tor George into retirement. Sen
ator George. however. doesn't
scare. The Talmadge theme was
that Senator George is too old
to run again and serve another
term: that he has lost contact
with Georgia and its problems
and even that he has been too
friendly with the Eisenhower adj
ministration, backing the Presi-
dents foreign policy.
The Talmadge forces spread a
report that George can't win. :"
Mr.. Talmaoge. himself, gave
many evidences that he would
become a candidate for the
George Senate seat.
Talmadge Urged to Wait
But Mr.. Talmadge made no
open announcement-and he
hasn't up to date. Presumably
his hope was that Senator
George would back away. That
hasn't happened. Further. con-
siderable advice is being given
Mr.. Talmadge not to enter the
race against Senator George, but
to wait a while.
Mr.. Talmadge, who is politi-
cally ambitious. does not want
to wait-certainly not six years
beginning January 3. 1887. He
would have little chance in a
battle for the other Georgia
Senate seat, held by Senator
Russell. Senator Talmadge would
have to wait until 1860 to do so.
Tor Senator Russell was reelected
only last year.
In this Democratic saith Con-
eress, Senator George has been
a powerful figure. as he has in
earlier Congresses. He has, as
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. played a.
real part in the foreign policy of
the United States. He is the
recognized leader of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress in this particu-
lar and important field. He has
sought to put the interest and
welfare of the United States
above partisan politics. At the
same time. he has taken a lead
in the development of foreign
policy
It was Senator George who
suggested that the United States
should be big enough to talk to
anyone-and advanced the idea
of a four-power. at-the-summit
conference. which eventually
was taken up by the President
himself. Senator George, too. |
took a firm position in the last
Congress against the involve 7
ment Of United States troops in
Indo- China, when others we're
trying to push US into that con-

Pressures Building Up
AS the situation now stands.
the pressures are building up on
Mr.. Talmadge not to run. where
as. earlier in the year, the pres
sure was on Senator George. ex-
erted by the Talmadge people
and Mr., Talmadge himself.

noted social service worker.
Addressing the Institute of
Race Relations in Cape Town,
he said that great prosperity has
come to the Velddrif fishermen
since the end of the war, but
most of them still live in their
simple little homes and dress as
of old in the rough clothing of
the flsherfolk.
Often their garages with two

their houses DR.. Wollheim said
Velddrif is an excellent example
of the social conditions among
