It deals ^with their executive, legislative and judicial branches, their intergovernmental relations, and their major areas of public service. Two Supplements present compre­ hensive lists of state officials and members-oO^he legislatures. This volume. Supplement I of the 1962-63 edition oi The Book of the States, is based on information received from the states by the end of 1962 or soon thereafter. It lists the elective administrative officials, the elective Supreme Court Justices, the members of the legislatures for 1963, whether newly elected or holdover, officers of the legislatures and legislative se/vicc agencies. Some of the lists of legislators are unofficial, but every effort for accuracy has been made by the state J 1 officials who provided the information and by the Council of State Governments. Supplement /covers only the state'offices that are filled by statewide popular vote and the members and officers of the legislatures. Com­ prehensive rosters of appointed administrative officials will appear in Supplement II, to be published in the summer-of 1963. The Council of State Governments ^knowledges with thanks the invaluable help of many state officials and members of the legislative service agencies who have furnished the infornlation for this publication.

    Samuel Ernest Vandiver, Jr

    OH Vandiver 01C Samuel Ernest Vandiver, Jr. interviewed by Mel Steeley and Ted Fitzsimmons Date: 6/25/86 Cassettes #439 (56 minutes) COPY OF ORIGINAL INTERVIEW ORIGINAL AT WEST GEORGIA UNIVERSITY Side One Fitzsimmons: Governor, we were talking about the integration of the university, and you said in making a decision you talked to a number of people, and among them Senator [Richard Brevard, Jr.] Russell. What was his advice? Vandiver: Well, I think you probably know what his situation was. He had fought these battles in the Senate for many, many years. And, of course, he knew from his practice of law and his familiarity with the law that I had no choice except to follow the law. That I couldn't, if I had defied the court, then I had no choice except to try to get the state of Georgia to secede again from the Union. And we'd tried that once and hadn't done too well that time. And so he knew that I had no choice. One thing that Betty [Sybil Elizabeth] Vandiver and I have talked about a great deal was her father was a federal judge; he was a judge of the northern district of Georgia. And he never had to deal with this situation. He knew it was probably coming, but he became ill with cancer, and he died in 1955 before this situation ever came before his court. And we've thought about it many times, that the Lord was kind to him. He would have had to rule in such a way that it would have been extremely difficult for him.

    Interview Transcript

    Transcription: Richard Overton ________________________________________________________________ First of all good morning, and thank you for letting us be here today to interview you. It’s an honor for us and for our program. I want to start by letting folks listening or watching that today is Thursday, September 12th, 2013. My name is James Crabtree and you are Mr. Richard Overton, and we are at your home in Austin, Texas. So that way anybody listening to this knows when and where we did this interview. Sir, thank you again for letting us be here. The first question I always like to ask veterans is please tell us a little bit about your childhood and your life before you went into the military Richard Overton: Well, I’ll tell you I was out in the country then. Where were you born? Richard Overton: I was born out between Bastrop and Lockhart, at the same area Conn is. Did you grow up on a farm or did you grow up in town? Richard Overton: I started growing up in the country, and left there and went to Taylor. After that I went to Dallas. Did you come from a large family? Did you have a lot of siblings? Richard Overton: I had six sisters and four brothers. I was the fourth brother, and all dead except me. What was it like having that many siblings? Richard Overton: It was lovely, but I had to take care of ‘em. My daddy died way back in the 20s I think, somewhere back in there. But anyway, I had to take care of my mother and the other family.
