Arnall, former gover nor of Georgia and author of "The Shore Dimly Seen," will address some 700 students and citizens Monday at 8 p. m. in Drayton Hall. The subject of the address, the first in the University Town Hall series, will be "Whose Coun try Is This, Anyway?" -Arnall, considered by many 'as the South's greatest leader since the War Between the States, was boin at Newnan, Ga., in 1907. He attended Mercer University, and was graduated from the Uni versity of the South. He obtained his law degree from the Univer sity of Georgia and was first honor student in his graduating class.. Arnall began his political career, in 1932, winning a 'seat in the General Assembly of his state. Later he became the presiding officer of the Georgia House of Representatives. In 1939 he was appointed at torney-general and remained at _ that .post until elected governor in 1942. Ins the Democratic pri mary of that year he defeated the late Eugene Talmadge. . When Arnall became governor at 85, he was one of the youngest state chief executives in the na tion. It is said that "the magnolia- t scented traditions of that dema- a gogue-ridden state went out the rear door of the capitol and a fresh political breeze swept . through the corridors." 2 Political Clean-up d The state's finances were enu- d merated and its debt was paid off for the first time in over a cen tury. A new constitution - was .adopted and the poll tax was eliminated. The discredited state t university syst'em was 'restored. G The notorious Georgia penal' sys- j tem was modernized, and the now- a defunct Ku Klux Klan was vig- F orously attacked. A close friend of the late Presi- b dent Franklin D. -Rosevelt, he 6 possessed high favor and confi- ti dence as a representative of o: Southern democracy.' p Southern Liberal Arnall is recognized as one of ti the foremost lberal leaders of R the South. He was the forerunner of the movement for developing g the South along more liberal and c, democratic lines. 1N The former governor was fre- tc quently mentioned last year for rt ,the vacant post of -national so licitor-general, and figured prom- is inently in the recent "battle of T the governors" in Georgia when te he supported M. E. Thompson L: who eventually won the seat. Political Future in - Arnall Is now being discussed at as a possibility for the Demo- m cratic nominee for vice-president fr of the United States. As yet, he w has made no definite announce ment of ariy future political plans. A limited supply of tickets are ( still available at the Extension Division in the South Caroliniana library.
