Friends of Rivers in Lanier C ounty sent $500 by wire to Che Stale Democratic 'Execu tive Committee to pay his en trance fee. “If the committee sets the fee higher we will re mit" the telegram stated. By HENRY LESESNE ATLANTA.—tAV-Now 36-year-old James V. Carmichael—boomed as an Ainail successor before "the people's choice" became, a catch phrase and a puzzle—has changed his mind and will run for gover nor. Carmichael, a former legislator who headed the Bell Bomber Plsnt at Maitett.a during the War,' 1 'issued a statement saying he would not run because of his physical condi tion and the demands of business. Meanwhile the No. 1 political enigma in Georgia became “who will be the administration's candi date—who will be the political choice?” Daily hundreds of words of political speculation reached print. Then, dramatically at the end ol a day which brought many politi cal developments, Carmichael an nounced a change of mind—although he says emphatically he doesn’t offer his name as “the peoples choice." The people’s choice, he says, is the man the people elect, and no thing else. Equally emphatic, he says that he represents no faction, no man, no group of men. No organization. TO OPPOSE TALMADGE And the thing that caused him to change his mind, he says, is the entrance of Eugene Talmadge and the absence of a strong candidate pledged to progressive government. “I had hoped," said Carmichaei “a candidate pledged to sive government such as Geutgia merits would appear. None has Mv conscience will not let me sr idly' by iir.d let the forces which dragged Georgia into trie mud re turn to office without the p ople having the opportunity to vote for the kind of government I believe they want.” Carmichael served two terms in the Legislature from Cobb County. In 1926 he was hit by an automo bile in front of his 'home and hi back was broken. He still walks with a cane. He finished high school Pt Mari etla in a wheel chair.

The shortage in meat, acute In many metropolitan centers, was ■ reported In nearly every part of the country. WASHINGTON. — </P>—The gov ernment mapped a new attack on the snarled food situation today hi- j volving butter, bread, meat — and blackmarkets. N Wartime controls were slapped back in an effort to spur butter pro duction and Stabilization Director Chester Bowles foresaw a “real Im provement within the next 60 days ’ on this front. The Senate Agriculture Committee called for more details on iattors dislocating meat distribution, while OPA and the Agriculture Depart ment moved to restore other war time controls on slaughtering with the aim of spreading available sup plies more evenly. A potential bread problem had members of the Senate 8mail Busi- I ness Committee seeking ways of meeting famine relief quotas lot j overseas without impairing the na tion's flour supplies. The move lor butter production was bracketed with OPA action to keep consumers bills at their pres ent levels for milk, butter, cheese and other dairy products. A pro gram of larger subsidies lor d*Ty farmers was announced yesterday to compensate for higher feed and labor costs. On butter, the OPA aimed at over coming a situation which had made it more profitable to use butterfat for ice cream and other products than for butter, Accordingly, the wartime ban was restored on me sale of whipping cream and reauio tions were placed on the amount of butterfat in Ice cream. The program also includes price ceilings for the first time on cream used In bakery products and ice cream. The Senate Agriculture Commit | tee was platnly exercised about the meat situation which packer James j ^ Cooney testified was "a nation al scandal which makes prohibition look like petty crime."
