stations, thus pooling their insti-
tutional capabilities.
The South's unique pooling of
its higher educational resources
through the Southern Regional
Education Compact has stimulat-
ed other regions to follow suit.
Back as far as 1855, through
efforts of the Southern Cover
nors' Conference, our region took
the initiative to develop tn e
South's nuclear energy potential.
Most of our states now have agen-
cies working in this field and we
also have regional agency fl
nanced by contributions from the
individual st a S. At the last
meeting of the Southern Cover
nors' Conference, action was TAX
en- to effect a formal permanent
interstate compact under which
our regional efforts will be car
ried forward in the years ahead.
Again, using my own state as
an example of Southern govern
mental enterprise, I would like
to point out that in the past two
and a half years the State of Flor
ida has spent or committed, from
state tax funds, $81a million for
nuclear research and education
at our state universities. There is
no program of this kind, con-
ceived by educators and state Of
ficials and financed by a willing
citizenry with their own state
tax funds, anywhere else in the
nation.
Through such work our states
ard our region have far outstrip-
ped the rest of the nation. Indeed
it can properly be said that the
South is giving leadership not
only to the nation but also to the
world for the development of
peaceful uses of the atom.

The South -.

these reactors promises to be
particularly suitable for the pro-
oessing of the new silicon plastics.
These plastics, which may be-
come as important as nylon and
other carbon plastics made from
coal and oil, could turn the poor
est soil of the South into valu-
able resource - for silicon is the
principal constituent of the sand
that lines our Southern coast.
That coastline, incidentally, is
longer than the combined shore
lines of the North and the Pacific
West. And it is another doorway
to future riches for the South.
1t is said by competent autho-
rites that there is more mineral
wealth dissolved in sea water
than there is in all our mountains
and dry lands. The problem is the
economical extraction of these
minerals from the sea. But we
are we'll on our way toward un-
locking these vast hidden trea-
sures. Already a beginning has
been made in my own state,
where a large plant is extracting
magnesium, the Ightest OF all
structural metals, from the waters
of the Gulf of Mexico.
The Southern Discovery
There are highly significant
factors underlying this growth
which l would like to stress.
How did it come about?
Federal aid is not responsible,
although in some areas admitted
ly Washington has helped. Out
side capital, while also helpful,
cannot be credited with the major
part of our success story.
I submit that the South, more
than any other region, has dis
covered that government is the
only agency through which all
the people can work together to
advance their common good.
The South believes with Wood
row Wilson that:
Government is the organ OF
society, its only potent and uni
versal intrument; its detectives
must be the objects of society"
The real motivation and streng-
tn for our advances has come
through the initiative and re-
sourcefulness of our own people
manifested in private enterprise
and through the liberal use of
state and local governmental pro-
cesses.
For example, much greater
portion of the cost of education
in the South is borne through
taxation than in other parts OF
the nation The people of Penn
sylvania pay only 1891 of every
$500 of income as taxes for the
support of elementary, secondary
and higher education. The people
of New York pay $4.91. But the
people of Louisiana pay S6.72;
the people of Arkansas, $50;
the people of Mississippi, 1888;
and the people of Florida, $3.50.
AS an indication of the scope
of our job and of some results
achieved, I would like to point
out that in Florida, in the year
I graduated from college (193D,
we had l0,946 teachers in our
high schools and elementary
schools. The average school term
was less than eight months. The
average teacher salary was S903.
Less than $40 of our teachers
had four-year college degrees.
The state contribution for the
support of all our public schools
was less than $412 million per
year.
Look at the picture today. We
now have $4,000 teachers, The
universal school terms is nine
months. The average teacher sal
airy has jumped from 1908 to So
028, and 99To of all our teachers
have four year college degrees or
better. Our taxpayers have in
creased their contribution from

of his illnesses when the ceremonial and administrative details

% OTHER CHANGES-Whne the White House seeks to deem

A proposal to supplant the joint chiefs of staff set-up with
a single chief of staff-the so-called "Prussian system" of World
War II Germany-is being pushed again in some quarters.
The idea here is that the head of each military service has too
great a tendency to fight for his own branch at the cost OF
agreement on overall needs. In these days of $40 binionpluS
military budgets, advocates of economy claim this is the only
way to achieve szable savings in government OUTLAWS.
These advocates have a powerful group of supporters on Capt.
toll Hill and the proposal could well become a principal issue i'm
the military and economy fields during the next session Of
Congress.
Opponents of the single chief of staff argue that this same
system was, in part, responsible for the defeat Of Germany in
World War III.

1T is NOT TOO LATE

There is a question of vital Importance that each of us
must answer, not by what some other person thinks but what
we ourselves think.
We have lost our heritage and freedom
when the acceptance of individual responsibility drops to
near zero;
when all man wants is what he can get for himself;
when government is something "they" run;
when money is what "they" control;
when politics is on the fringe of individual interest and
when our so-called religious heritage is SIMPLY a heritage
we have substituted only financial success for a common
goal of community betterment through Individual concern,
initiative and cooperative action;
When out so-called religious heritage is SIMPLY a heritage
and not a driving force in all our everyday relationships;
in s~hort-when man lives unto himself alone-then chaos
is just around the corner and facts never get beyond his
blinded eyes.
We will lose our heritage and freedom only if you and I
want it so.

a more active part in government affairs than
at any previous time in his tenure. On the

illusions about the role of a President and is
preparing to set up a more workable admin
