“No, the United States will not
have a war with Russia!” the Hon.
Ellis Gibbs Arnall, former governor
of Georgia who made Saint Mary’s
a high spot of his 40-state speaking
tour here Monday night, told a
BELLES inquirer in an early morn
ing “breakfast interview” at the
Stones’ Tuesday. Arnall feels that
we will avoid a forthcoming war “not
by adopting a policy of appeasement,
but by taking a firm policy on inter
national affairs.”
Talinadge May Run
Because of the recent political con
fusion in Georgia, it was inevitable
that he should be asked about the
situation in Atlanta.
Although he thinks that Talmadge
will be a contestant in the next
gubernatorial race, he does not be
lieve that the recent claimant for
the governorship will win. During
the brief period that Talmadge
claimed to be governor he did no
real damage, Arnall explained, main
ly because he never actually held
that position.
“It is interesting to note,” Arnall
added, “that Carmichael received
16,414 more votes than Gene Tal
madge in the last gubernatorial elec
tion. He lost the election, however.

xirnall feels very strongly about
education. He says that every boy
and girl, regardless of race, creed,
color, or home, should have the op
portunity of a good education. 'To
obtain a good educational system,
“federal aid for state education is
imperative.” In this way all states
could have equally good schools.

Geoz-gia, writing books, and giving
