Retirement of Georgia Senator George signals shift
Washington reports Sen Walter F George of Georgia will quit the Senate at year end for health reasons. He faces Herman Talmadge, a former governor, who quickly announced his candidacy as George's retirement unfolds. George's lack of a campaign machine contrasts with Talmadge's rural appeal and organizational strength. The veteran lawmaker, praised for his foreign relations work and wartime service, has endured personal tragedy with the loss of his son Marcus, fueling his drive for world peace.
