was caused by:
(1) A “tremendous amount" of
repair work on highways damaged by
last winter's severe weather.
(2) Barge outlays of Btate funds

supplies in Georgia's cooperation
with (he WPA federal government

aggregate over 12 billion dollars and
authorizations (commitments) for ad

Decatur Man Kills
Postman, Beats Mather &
Terrorizes Neighbors
HEROIC BYRON YOU 111
*• AVES SISTER'S LIFE
Byron, Oct. 5—Quick action by he
roic young Robert Tucker saved his
12-year-old sister, Virginia, from be
ing killed by a freight
here this week.
The child, daughter of Mr. and Mrs
Grady Tucker, was playing on the
track when her brother saw the train
approaching. He dashed across the
track and knocked her down the em
bankment clear of the train. 1
The engineer stopped the train and
took her to a doctor who treated her
for minor cuts and bruises.
Decatur, Oct. 4—A member of a
wealthy family in fashionable Druid
Hills near Decatur ran amuck Friday
killing a postman, beating his aged
mother and generally terrorizing the
neighborhood.
Chief J. T. Dailey, who arrested
the man after kicking down three
doors in the 17-room mansion^ said he
was L. F. Scott, 38, who (iyed with
his mother and unmarried sistpr and
had no business connections.
The officers expressed the opinion
Scott had suddenly gone insane. He
was charged with the murder of the
postman, R. C. Woods, 30, who was
delivering a package to Mrs. F\ A.
Goldberg across the street
Scott had been quietly watering
his lawn, Dailey said, when he shot
at 11-year-old Joel Goldberg and be
gan firing promiscuously.
Woods was shot seven times, Dai
ley said, after which Scott broke his
rifle over the body and threw the
barrel at a passing car.
Dailey said he found the man pum-
nieling his mother, Mrs. L. 9. Scott
Sr., 80 in a room of the home.
A sidelight on the shooting was
given by Dave Spiegelberger, anoth
er neighbor who told officers Stott
appeared in his hallway while four
people were seated at a table and
attempted to shoot them. The rifle
clicked as Henry Holtz, a nephew
shouted a warning.
Spiegelberger said he slaimmed a
door in Scott's face and Scott fired
thru the door. He said Scott had pre
viously shot at his 9-year-old daugh
ter.
Spiegelberger called police as Scott
started toward the Goldberg home
where Woods had just arrived. Mrs
Goldberg said she had armed herself
and attempted to warn Woods of the
danger.

In fact and truth, the Congress
hasn't actually adjourned. It may
never adjourn. But it has completed
its legislative program andbeginning
Tuesday will enter a state of “sus
pended animation.” It will meet
every fourth day, under a parliamen
tary arrangement that will require
the attendance of only a handful of
member.s
No business will be transacted in
either the Senate or the House under
the three-day recess scheme, but in
case of a serious deveplopment, or an
unexpected crisis, the Congress could
of its own motion reassemble and as
sert its constitutional powers and
prerogatives.
The effect of the arrangement is
to preserve and protect the inde
pendence of the legislative branch,
irrespective of the executive, which
apparently is perfectly agreeable to
the President.
