Suit in Federal Court
Seeks End of County Unit
Vote Count System
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 5—A Federal
prcedure to test validity of the
county unit system of ballot coun
ting in Georgia’s recent primary
election has been set in motion,
with atorneys hopeful of a decision
before the November General El
ection.
The suit, which seeks to void the
recent primary, came as a surprise
to both the leading contenders in
the recent race, the candidates
said- Eugene Talmadge who won
the party nomination under the
unit system with less popular votes
than James V. Carmichael, declin
ed to comment on the suit.
Carmichael said he is not a par
ty to suit and has no intention of
becoming involved in it.
RIVERS GIVES GENE
COUNTY DELEGATES
Teaching of Bible
In Public Schools
Blocked at Griffin
Atlanta, Ga., Aug: 3—Former
Governor E. D. Rivers informed
Governor-Designate Eugene Tal-
madge today he was waiving his
right to name delegates to the
State Democratic Convention to be
held at Macon in October,
i Rivers told Talmadge he would
authorize him to select his own
delegates from the counties which
went for Rivers. Rivers carried
ten counties-
Rivers said he was taking this
step so that Talmadge could name
delegates of his own choice in
working up a state Democratic
j party platform.
! Meanwhile the Albany Carmi-
chael-for-governor club waived its
designation of delegates to the
Doughterty county supporters of
Talmadge.
Griffin, Ga., Aug. 1—A contro
versy over the teaching of the
Bible in Griffin public high schools
has ended in a dead lock and it
appears the matter is dead—at
least for the coming school year.
The Griffin Ministerial associa
tion proposed the Bible course, and
started a campaign to raise $5,000
to pay the teachers since state law
prohibits use of public funds for
this purpose.
Then the Flint River Baptist
association objected to the courses.
The association contended that the
Bible should be read in schools
but not taught. Teaching, the as
sociation said, would require in
terpretation and that would be de
nominational.
Now the Giiffin association has
reconsidered and turned the mat
ter over to a committee for further
study.
