Churchill Named
To Succeed
Chamberlin
Two British Leaders Confer with
King George of England.
london. May 10—Prime Minister
Chamberlain bowed to demands fora
Wor' vigorous war leader tonight
and resigned.
The man who once promised
tpcare in our time” stepped aside so
that a British coalition government
can be formed to wage the war
against Germany.
Winston Churchill, former first
)ord of the admirality, will attempt
to form the new government.
The new cabinet will embrace all
forties—labor, liberals and conserva
tives.
Chambelain’s resignation was es
sential to such a line-up, for labor
refused to join any party he headed,
when the Laborites agreed to join a
coalition under some new primier, it
was apparent that the die had been
cast for Chamberlain to go and for
Churchill to step in.
Jt is the first lime in a brilliant
career devoted almost entirely to poi
nts that Churchill has headed a
government. Heretofore, he has been
regarded as too impetuous for the
top post.
Chamberlain was swept from office
on the crest of a torrent tf criticism
unmatched in modem times. In par
liamentary debate, he had faced
open demands that he resign—charg
es that he had been outwitted at
every turn by Adolf Hitler both in
peace and in war—and taunts that
he alone could assure an Allied vic
tory by resigning.
What the make-up of the new gov
ernment will be under Churchill is
not yet kuown. But it is expected
Churchill will enlist David I-oyd
George, Britain's war time prime
minister and veteran Liberal. Lloyd
George, it is said, doubtless will be
come a minister without portifolio.
The present ministers will remain
at their positions until a new cabinet
is formed so that the nation will not
be left without adequate leadership
a the present critical hour.
The change in government came
at the blackest moment Britain has
faced in a generation. A Nazi blitz-
kreig already fs raging over Belgium
■and Holland, with Britain herself the
obvious next victim.
All Kngland is spending’ an anxious
night her streets pitch black and
spe.-ial troops on guard against in
vading parachute soldiers. People
everywhere on the British Isles have
been ordered to remain alert fo rthe
terror from the skies and children
are being held ready for evacuation
from Washington [f the worst hap-
pened.

1)\I) KEEPS RIDING,
NOT KNOWING SON
FELL FROM TRUCK
Cairo—When R. H. Owens looked
into the back of his pickup truck, he
missed his 0-year-old son, J. L., who
had been riding with him.
Twelve miles back J. L. bad fal
len from the truck, sustained serious
injuries. Cairo hospital attaches Sat
urday gave him a good chance to
recover.
TWO MORE CONVICTS
BREAK THEIR LEGS
TO GET OUT OF WORK
Dallas, Ga., May 13—Warden Ar
thur Clay, of Georgia's Little Al-
catrez, added two more names Mon
day to a list of convicts he said would
rather break their own legs than to
pick and shovel work in the sun.
He named the men as Otis Nix, 21
a three-year larceny prisoner from
Kulton county, and Luther Tatum,
24, serving 10 years for manslaugh
ter from Haralson county.
The warden said these two, like
four others before them, had wedged
their legs between the iron railings
of their cots and broken them by
tumbling to the floor.
The state's more troublesome
prisoners are sent to the Dallas
camp but Warden Clay said the work
was no harder than at other camps.
“We just get some new ones now
and then who had rather break theii
legs than work,” he commented. “I
don't know what's the matter with
them.”
Nix and Tatum turned up as hos
pital cases Sunday, he said. The four
others, he added, were injured six
weeks ago and are still hobbling
around the camp unable to return
to work ,
Columbus, Mny 12—One of the'
most important real estate transac- i
tions here in recent months involving
downtown business property was the
,<ale of the Masonic Temple building !
to J. E. Flowers. It is expected that
the actual transfer of title will be
made early this week, on the comple
tion of checking of details.
The centrally located property has
a frontage of approximately 35 feet
on 12th street by a depth of around
150 feet on First avenue. The build
ing is a four-story brick masonry
structure and one of the most at
tractive in the city, being well locat
ed . It was stated auhtoritatively
that the consideration was $90,000.
The cornerstone shows the building
was erected by local Masonic bodies j
A. D. 1902—A. L. 5902. The first
floor is used by Fenner and Beane
and for other business purposes and
the second and third floors for of
fices, the top floor being used ex
clusively for lodge purposes and the
Masonic club rooms.
For some years past the local
Masonic bodies have desired to erect
a building exclusively for their pur
poses if this property could be fairly
disposed of and officials say that
this dream will early be realized,
though definite plans to that end
have not yet been made, it is under
stood that its purchase by Mr. Flow
ers is for the purpose of investment.
Just what changes and improvements
he may make have not yet been an
nounced.
Since its erection the building has
been owned by Columbian and Mount
Hermon lodges, Darley Chapter and |
St. Aldemar Commendery, who own
all the stock. The bonded indebted
ness outstanding against the prop-
ery is $25,000, with some current
obligations.
MACON YEGGS
GET SLOW)
Macon, Ga., May 12.—Yeggs who
chiseled the door from a safe at the
Macon Billiard Academy early Sat
urday escaped with more than $1,000
in cash, leaving checks and change
scattered in their make.
Entry was made through a third-
story window, apparently from a next
door roof, after which the burglars
walked unhindered down two flights
of stairs, tore the floor from
landing over the main floor and
crawled into the downstairs thru a
closet.
The safe had been dragged into a
corner, out of sight of the passersby
on Cherry su-eet.
5 BOYS FLEE HOME,
BUT TWO RETURN

of the White Boys Industrial Home
near Hapeville, took French leave

the others to return during the day.
The boys were trustees and were
not under guard, but simply walked
nway shortly after supper. Supt. I.
H. Dodd is on a week's leave of ab
sence ami according to Mr. Maxwell

just to get away for a while. Five
