AARON WILL MOVE

Henry Aaron has revealed he will move his family to At-
lanta during the playing season
in 1966.
Milwaukee writers had quoted
Aaron as saying he would not
move his family to Atlanta be-
cause of possible problems of
discrimination.
“We visited in many of the

were awfully impressed. We
saw some truly lovely homes

“IF I don’t move my family

Aaron. “I wouldn’t get to be

we'll move.”
Aaron was in town over the
weekend to receive the Two
Friends Award, along with Ed
eae from the 100 Percent
Wrong Club. He made a new
frier’ with the city he will soon
call home.
“Tll say what I said earlier,”
commented Aaron. “I said it
will be hard to leave Milwau-
kee where all our close friends
are, but I never said I wouldn't
move to Atlanta. That’s just one
of the many stories some
writers have twisted.
“TF I were to come on to At-
Janta and leave my family in
when the Braves transfer here
Milwaukee during the season, it
would be 10 to maybe 11 months

definitely not going to do that.”

STADI UM NAME TO COME SATURDAY
By BILL CLARK
Atlanta's $18-million stadium has a name right now, but the
world must wait for Saturday night.
The Touchdown Club Jamboree banquet at 7 p.m. at the
Dinkier-Plaza has been chosen for the 1ong-awaited revelation.
Stadium Authority chairman Arthur Montgomery will make the
announcement.
Ara Parseghian, leader of Notre Dame's resurgent Irish
and the nation's c<>-holder of Coach of the Year acclaim for
1964, will share the Saturday night shindig spotlight. He will
deliver the main address.
Bill Pritchard of the TD Club said Thursday that a round
of informal parties will launch the Atlanta pigskin production
Friday. Delegations from most of the leading bowl games play
hosts.
A cocktail party and buffet supper Friday night beginning
at 6 p.m. officially opens the gathering. A luncheon floor show
is slated Saturday at noon . All three major events are to be
staged on the Dinkier roof.
The name for the city's mammoth new stadium has been a
popular conversational item here for almost a year. News
media have run contests to prompt suggestions. The Authority
has studied reams of proposals and arrived at a decision.
The TD Jamboree will be attended by athletic officials
from throughout the south, both from the high school and college level. The event coincides with the SEC meeting currently
in progress to assure strong area representation.

By VARTANIG G, VARTAN
Special to The New York Times
ATLANTA—"The city of At-
lanta,” Mills B. Lane Jv. as-
serts, “is a commercial ven-
ture."
Mr. Lane, who charges about
this city with the unabashed
power of a bulldozer, is a bald,
chunky banker who knows what
he's talking about. He serves as
President of the Citizens &
Southern National Bank, the
biggest bank in Georgia,
He is a_ third-generation
Georgia banker who was gradu-
ated trom Yale in 1934, He owns
50 vintage automobiles and he
wears a tle bearing the slogan,
“It's a wonderful world."
But setting aside a flair for
the unusual, Mr, Mills and other
Atlanta executives are deadly
serious about the role of this
city, the home of Coca-Cola and
“Gone With the Wind,” in the
business world,
When they talk about Atlan-
ta, some local businessmen refer
“Mecca.” It has the
reputation of a congenial place
to live, and one pretty research
analyst who came South to con-
duct a company study for her
Wall Street firm went home to
report, “It’s the friendliest city
I've ever, ever seen.”
Today Atlanta is scrambling
to become “a national city.”
In typically aggressive fash-
jon, the city is building an $18-
million sports stadium in an
effort to obtain the baseball
franchise of the Milwaukee
Braves.
This move has set the beer
homeland to foaming, but <At-
lanta’s leading citizens are con-
fident of their ultimate triumph.
“Just think!” exclaims an ad-
vertising man, “The world series

An equally impressive build-
ing was constructed much ear-
lier here at more modest ex-
pense. This is the state capitol,
completed in 1899 at a cost of
$1 million and modeled after the
capitol in Washington.
Today the spirit of business
is the splrit that moves Atlanta
and the tell-tale sounds abound.
For one thing, a surprising
number of business leaders drink
martinis instead of bourbon, One
political figure is partial to a

But Coca-Cola is still known
locally as “Georgia champagne”
and some people in Atlanta
drink it for breakfast.
It is significant that the man
now serving his first term as
mayor—Ivan Allen Jr.—has a
business background in running
a family-owned office supply
And Uther Things
One businessman paid the
ultimate compliment tb Char-
lotte, N.C. by describing it as
“a little Atlanta.”
But when you bite below the
skin of the peach, there are
other things to be found. Some
informed persons, for example,
will acknowledge the deep-
rooted rivalry between Atlanta
and the small towns and rural
areas of Georgia. “There is a
tremendous jealousy here,” de-
clares one lea citizen. “The
plain fact ig that Atlanta has
got to quit looking down its
nose at the rest of the state if
all of Georgia is going to pros-
er."
This rivalry is basically both
economic and political. For decl
ades, Atlanta has been the
shopping Mecca for well-heeled
Georgians and the most prom-
ising youngsters have left such
places as Americus, the seat
of Sumter County, for the big
city of Atlanta,
The political rift stems from
Georgia's county unit system,
which, until recently outlawed,
meant that the rural parts of
the state could dominate At-
lanta despite the vast gap in
population,
Finally, Atlanta today is the
most liberal city in the South-
company,
Atlanta has been fortunate!
over the last three decades in|
the leadership provided by its
bankers who are friendly to
business. The First National
Bank, second largest in the
city, ig preparing to put up a
east in its attitude toward the
Negro. The basis for Atlanta's
behavior reflects the hard-head-
ed awareness of its business
community. But this compara-
tively Iberal attitude for the
South has served only to whet
the animosity of much of rural
41-story skyscraper. It will add
luster to Atlanta’s growing
skyline and loom as the tallest
building in the southeast,
The Trust Company of Geor-
gia, sometimes known as “the
Coca-Cola Bank," also has
played an active role in the
city’s rapid growth. Thanks to
these and other banks, as well
ag a complex of insurance and
financial institutions, Atlanta
regards itself as “the Wall
Street of the South.”

Just what did Atlanta have

First, it had location. This

Second, it had as one leader

present time? The local Cham-
ber of Commerce unblushingly
begins its description as fol-
lows: “Atlanta, the capital of
Georgia, is the commercial, in-
dustrial and financial dynamo
of the Southeast.”
A Chamber of Commerce, of
course, tends to emphasize the
good points of any given area
while omitting the fact that,
say, a city is built on the lip
of a smouldering volcano.
But the key to the Chamber
of Commerce in Atlanta is its
domination by the city’s most]
ageressive business leaders.
One brokerage office man-
ager who has worked in the
East describes his schedule as
follows:
An 11-Hour Day
“My friends in New York
City think it just great that I
can drive from home to the of-
fice in 20 minutes. What they
don't realize, however, is that
I'm apt to get into town at
6:30 A.M. for some civic com-
mittee meeting and then go to
another meeting for breakfast.
At night I usually attend a
fundraising meeting or another
session of some kind before I
drive home. Portal to portal,
it’s an 11-hour day.”
Atlanta-based companies
range from Scripto, makers of
ballpoint pens, to Rich's, a de-
partment store that is approxi-
mately Nieman-Marcus, Macy's
and Lord & Taylor all rolled
into one, There is also Oxford
Manufacturing, Atlantic Steel,
and the Southern Company.
There is manufacturing done
in Atlanta, but this is character-
istically a city that puts togeth-
er parts rather than producing
parts. The assembly plants of
General Motors and Ford serve
as examples,
But Atlanta has gained a mix
in its economy that is lacking,
for example, in a city such as
Birmingham, which is so heavily
dependent upon its iron and
steel complex.
One 9-year-old boy who grew
up in New England until the
second grade sums up his main
reaction to Atlanta as follows:
“Tt’s got space.”
A Government economist
takes a somewhat more so-
phisticated view, “The economics
of conglomeration are at work
here," he explained. “The fact
that Atlanta is already a center
for regional offices will attract
similar offices from other com-
ers,
