LAURENS CANDIDATE PREFER
HARMONY TO TIME SPENT
BICKERING OVER POLITICS
Dublin, Sept. 11—Dr. C. H. Kit-
trell today witdrew from the run
over elction with J. O. Ogburn for
represntative from Laurens county
in the state assembly from place No
1, leaving Mr; Ogburn the nominee.
Dr. Kittrell's action makes un
necessary the run-off set by the
county democratic executive com
mittee for Wednesday of next week.
In withdrawing from the race Dr.
Kittrell said in a prepared state
ment:
"In view of the fact that there
are many things now crystalizing
in our community more important
than political campaigns,I feel that
we should present a united front
in behalf of these improvements
rather than spend Our time bicker
ing over politics.”
cratic primary in which he lost his
bid for a fourth term the governor
Baid that unanticipated tax re
ceipts in July and August enabled
him to authorize the increase which
is estimated to cost the state about
$3,500,000 annually.
“I, as your governor," said Tal
madge in a statement, “previously
made the statemnt that if the
state's revenue so warranted it, that
a raise would be granted the pub
lic school teachers of this state to
meet the present emergency which
now. confronts the state in the edu
cation of our children.”
At the same time he notified all
department heads that he had re
quested the state auditor “to disap
prove any excessive expenditures or
obligations created against this
Btate prior to the time of the meet
ing of the next general assembly.”
During his campaign he ft*'
quently remarked that he had ac
cumulated a large enough surplus
to pay off the state's debts when
ever he wished, but Thursday he
Instructed the highwayboard to pay
outstanding certificates of indebted
ness only as they became due.
The last of these certificates ma
ture in 1944. A little less than $7,-
000,000 of them are still outstand
ing, and Talmadge said the high
way department is the only one
“which has indebtedness outstand
Ing from the previous administra
tion." He told the highway board
to keep all its current accounts
paid.
The pay increase for teachers was
hailed by State Sueprlntendent of
Schools M. D. Collins as “the best
news I’ve heard in a decade." L. D.
Haskew, president of the Georgia
Education Association, said “we
feel like a great day has dawned
for Georgia."
The GEA, at its annul convention
last Spring, put forth a demand for
a 25 per cent salary riase for teach
ers as one of the principal points
in its program. In the gubernatorial
campaign, Attorney General Ellis
Arnall urged higher pay for teach
ers, saying they ought to be paid
"on a parity with other state em
ployes.”
Both Collins and Haskew pre
dicted that the higher pay, which
became effective immediately,
would help to overcome a shortage
of teachers which the state super
intendent previously said was! the
most serious in Georgia's history.
Pension Roll Extended
Expansion of the state's old-age
pension rolls to include all pend
ing applicants who are certified as
eligible for the social security pay
ments was ordered Friday by Gov.
Talmadge.
He also announced that the 25
per cent salary increase given ot
Georgia's 22,000 school teachers,the
day after he was defeated for re-
election on the basis of unofficial
returns, applied as well to all of
the state's school bus drivers.
State Auditor B. E. Thrasher Jr.,
said so far as he knew the state has
no jurisdiction over the bus drivers
and he expressed doubt that the
stae could effect a blanket pay in
crease for them.
“As of June 30," said Talmadge
in his statement on old-age pen
sions, “there were 14,138 applica
tions pending. Counties were in
structed then to investigate and re
port all eligibles and they were in
structed by the state welfare de
partment to send in the eligibles
for certification to the rolls.’
The average old-age pension in
Georgia, of which the federal gov
ernment pays about half, was said
to be around $8.75 a month. Should
all pending applicants prove eligi
ble, the cost to the state would be
close to $850,000 annually, but ordi
narily investigation shows only
about 60 per cent of the applicants
are eligible.
Also, Director Brick Miller of the
Welfare Department said pending
applictaions have been reduced
since June 30t o some 13,250. This
would indicate that the expansion
program ordered by the governor
would not cost more than $400,000
a year.

of REA current in remote sections
where some of the defense projects
are being built has caused a con
siderable saving to the govern
ment. We are especially proud of
serving the maneuvers held in Ft.

'These maneuvers were the first of
this type to be held in this country
a coordination of the air and land
forces .The Post Utilities Com-
mandlng Officers commanded us
very highly for the perfect service
the Cooperative had rendered them
during the maneuvers.
Mr. Woolard stated that during
the past week the Cooperative
started building the distribution
system for 500 houses to be located
close to Wellston, Georgia to take
care of the defense workers at the
Air Depot. We believe that when
this housing project is finished it
will be one of the most unusual in
the south due to the plans which
were so arranged to save critical
war mtaerials. The Cooperative is
building the distribution system to
serve these 500 houses with their
own maintenance men and equip
ment and at a considerable saving
under the contractor's price.

Married Men To Be In
U.S. Army Soon Unless
Youths Are Drafted
Washington.—A house committee
was told Tuesday that unless the
nation starts drafting 18 and 19
year olds "very soon," it will be
necessary to induct between 1,000,-
000 and 1,500,000 married men.
Maj. Gen. L. B. Hershey, selec
tive service director, gave this tes
timony before the Defense Migra
tion committee. He also said the
demands of the swiftly expanding
army for a steady flow of manpow
er necessitated inducting men suf
fering from veneral diseases.
“The nation is going from a
philosophy of abunadnee (in man
power) to one of scarcity," said
Hershey on the eve of the second
anniversary of the selective service
system.
He told the committee:
1. The Army now is including
ten per cent of the eligible illit
erates in each induction station,
and would begin on Oct. 1 to take
inthose suffering from veneral dis
eases, probably on a basis of two
per cent of the nation's total.
2. In his opinion, “as a better
administrator than prophet," mar
ried men with children could expect
to be called into service by the laBt
quarter of next year, and perhaps
earlier if the quotas of the armed
forces are increased.
3. “Eventually," those in the 18
and 19 years old age bracket would
have to be called, and that step
would have to come “very soon” or
the large-scale induction of mar
ried men would be necessary.
Hershey told the committee that
a man's occupational skill—rather
than the number of his dependents
—would become the major basis
for granting deferments from ser
vice with the armed forces.
