NEW YORK, N. Y. Although
on his last visit toGeorgia in the
company of President Roosevelt
shortly before World War 11. he
was “so disheartened” that he
“never wanted to see it again,”
author John Fischer today is ot
another mind.
In fact, he writes in the current
(March) issue of Harper’s ma
gazine, all the good things that
he had been hearing about Geor
gia had “turned out to be true,
and then some.”
Upon his return to Georgia,
Fischer found “The Georgians I
talked to were no longer despon
dent, sullen, and suspicious.
Typically they were ebullient
and full of confidence.” One
Atlanta businessman told Fis
cher, “Sure, we’ve got prob
lems, plenty of them. But
we’ve solved a lot of worse prob-
lems during the past. 10 years, S°big for us. We know that Al
