Ex-governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia at a press conference today in the offices of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith here, said that there is great danger that hate movements like the Ku Klux Klan and the Columbians will come back in greater strength than ever if Herman Talmadge continues as Governor of Georgia.

"We will never do away with intolerence merely by opposing it, " he stated. "We must fight hard to convince all Americans that only through tolerance can democracy survive. This will be a long range battle." He emphasized that he believes that "the Anti-Defamation League is doing not only a great job of fighting anti-Semitism, but is doing a great job of fighting all types of bigotry for all America."
