Funeral services for Daniel Wil
kerson Roberts, who died Sunday
; night at his home in Berlin, were
i held at the Bush cemetery in the
Cuba community Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Roberts succumbed to a two
months’ illness of heart trouble. Sur
vivors are his wife, Mrs. Pearl Over
street Roberts; two sons, Ronald
Roberts and Francis Roberts, both
of Berlin; three brothers, J. W.
Roberts of Marianna, Fla., D. B.
Roberts of Bainbridge, and C. R.
Roberts of Colquitt; and two sisters,
Mrs. J. W. Grimes of Blakely and
Mrs. Hattie Chandler of Atlanta.
Mr. Roberts was a native of this
county, and was a son of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jack Roberts.
He was born April 14, 1886, hence
| was 56 years of age. He was well
known here, where he lived until
1924, engaging in farming and saw
mill operations. He served for six
years as Early county tax receiver.
Since 1924 he had made his home in
Berlin, where he operated a grocery
business and a cotton gin.
Funeral services were held at the
Baptist church in Berlin Tuesday
morning, with the Revs. A. G. Ott,
O. H. P. Juhan, Sr., and H. G. Wells
officiating. After the service the
body was brought to this county and
interred in the Bush cemetery, with
Greene & Gregory, funeral directors,
in charge of arrangements, and the
following serving as pall-bearers:
Warren Gay, Roy Nesbitt, Walter
Williams, Lenton Odom, Billy Odom
and Ky Wooten.
Heartening Reduction
Shown in Number of
Auto Traffic Deaths
Major John E. Goodwin, Commis
sioner of the Department of Public
Safety, reports that, according to
records available as of June 2, 1942,
Georgia has experienced this year
the heartening reduction, during the
first five months—January through
May—of 100 automobile traffic
deaths. The first five months of
1942 traffic deaths totaled 376.
Major Goodwin points out that, al
though the curtailment of gasoline
and tires has helped to reduce deaths,
the drivers themselves have helped
by driving more carefully. Majo*
Goodwin also points out that there
are some drivers who are taking
advantage of the lack of traffic and
are still traveling too fast and reck
lessly, else the 276 persons killed
this year would still be alive.
This is where the State Troopers
play a big part—they are always
available and at the public’s service.
In order to keep the Troopers on the
job, motorists must renew their driv
er’s license, for the fees from these
licenses are the sole support of the
Troopers.
Midnight June 30 is the deadline
for renewing driver’s license.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
bmWHK". WASHINGTON
Washington, D. C. (NWNS) —The
most politically minded of the New
Dealers—the ones who have never
been able to subordinate “party” to
the war effort —are worried over the
President’s decision to make a dras
tic cut in the appropriation for the
WPA, which they always have rec
ognized as a super vote-producing or
ganization. And they are showing
even greater alarm over Leon Hen
derson’s unwillingness to appoint the
“right people” to jobs in the nation
wide price administration organiza
tion which he is building up .
The President has said that war
jobs make it possible to reduce the
size of WPA from an employment
enrollment of around 800,000 to half
that number and he has recommend
ed reducing the funds for WPA by
$185,000,000. Although the WPA
claims to have accomplished a lot of
good work, the records have al
ways indicated that the cost was all
out of proportion to the work done
and the organization has been the
leading butt of New Deal critics.
Among the claims of WPA are that
it has constructed 200 airfields and
over 2,000,000 feet of airplane
runways, has built or improved over
500,000 miles of roads, has con
structed 69,000 highway bridges, and
improved thousands of parks.
Although many New Deal con
gressmen realized that large expen
ditures for WPA, when there is a
shortage in labor for war production,
could not be justified, some hoped
that a new organization, tied up
with the war effort, might take its
place. Realizing that rationing,
price control, etc., is the biggest
single domestic undertaking, they
saw Mr. Henderson’s Office of Price
Administration as the best political
opportunity. But they now complain
that Mr. Henderson in many cases
is appointing their political enemies
to important posts in his organiza
tion which may eventually include
as many as 100,000 employees.
It is believed, however, that Mr.
Henderson’s absence of political con
siderations in making his appoint
ments is endearing him to the public
and that he has strong public sup
port.
There have of course been many
objectors to his gasoline rationing
plan, but in most cases the com
plaints are against unfair actions of
local boards, motorists and gas sta
tion owners who “are getting away
with murder” and against the pro
posals to extend gasoline rationing to
states where the supply is plentiful.
If rationing is extended, the main
purpose will be to conserve tires.
But the whole question of the pub
lic’s continued use of automobiles is
still due for considerably more anal
ysis and clarification. Each day some
new suggestion is made which re
vises thinking on the subject.
The most optimistic authorities
here predict that some solution will

C. D. DUKE, Manager BLAKELY, GA.
be worked out on the tire situation,
that plans for carrying gasoline to
the East by inland waterways will
be put through and that we will be
able to continue to get both tires
and gasoline throughout the’ war.
Under the sponsorship of the
Small Business committee, Senator
Ellender of Louisiana has introduced
a bill into congress calling for leg
islation to furnish tires throughout
the war to keep 20,000,000 automo
. biles running. The proposal is that
I these tires be made of reclaimed
rubber, part of which will be ob
tained from the tires and tubes turn
ed in by those seeking the new tires.
The committee claims that not more
than two ounces of new rubber is
needed to make a tire of reclaimed
rubber and states that if 3,500 tons
of crude rubber are put aside for
this purpose from our 750t,000-ton
stockpile, they can develop a sys
tem to collect all of the reclaimed
rubber necessary.
This bill will reopen the whole
discussion on the use of automobiles,
the rubber situation having been
considered a much greater problem
than gasoline. But, since we are
the only one of the United Nations
which has any rubber stockpile and
are consequently being called upon to
fill the needs of other nations as
well as our own, it is expected that
war production authorities will show
that the reclaimed rubber which
■could be used to make tires for 20,-
000,000 cars could be put to more
effective use in filling war needs.
The public has been told so many
things by so many different “author
ities” that it has created utter con
fusion on this subject.
Speaking of the confusing and
wasteful reports on activities in
Washington, Senator Tydings, head
of a special committee authorized to
promote economy and efficiency in
government, attacked the “daily del
uge” of wasteful and expensive
news releases on all subjects re
leased by government publicity de
partments. Pointing out that many
of these releases are “utterly worth
less,” he said:
“We are of the opinion that near
ly all, and certainly one-half of these
releases, should be discontinued dur
ing the war.” These releases cost
the government and the people of
the United States millions of dollars
a year, consume the services of hun
dreds of clerks and stenographers
and duplicating-machine operators,
the use of millions of dollars’ worth
of printing and duplicating machin
ery, and necessitate the utilization
of thousands of square feet of office
space besides adding unnecessarily
to the housing and transportation
congestion of the capital city of
Washington.”
