TOKYO.— (AP) —Considerable

and that the Japanese were meet
ing some reverses.
The War office remained out
wardly calm, however. It insisted
confirmation of the reported re
verses was lacking, and that be
sides, the Japanese advance must
be expected to be slow because
the grounds over which it was
being fought is ent' with many
canals, making progress difficult.
It also quoted a report from
the Japanese minigter to China,
Mamoru Shigemitsu, saying that
the conquest of the 19th Army
would probably require a week or
ten days from the beginning of
the drive on February 20. Offi.

Plan. .lncludes Speeding
¥ Up of Public Works,
It Is Announced
" Plans to njobilize the forces of
the ¢ity, coudty, every civic club,
and: overy ‘“citizen ' interested in
public welfaré .in an - effort to
combat nnemployment here are
undérway, with the American
Legion taking' the initiative in
corgigmeiion with a national com
paign.
A P{ciimlnul‘y plans for launching
the tampaign here were made at
a meeting of the Legion Sunday
afternoon at the Georgian hotel.
At that time Basil Stockbridge,
‘Atlanta, past state Legion com
mander, and W. -L. Erwin of
Athens, explained in' detail the
plan. Commander D. L. Turpin
opened the meeting.
The attack on unemployment
will be made from three strategic
points. Employers will be asked
to increase their personnel to as
many men as possible, the city
and county will be asked to begin
or speed up all public works for
which money has been appropri
ated or contemplated, and every
citizen will be asked to make
needed repairs to his home and
assist in a general paint-up and
clean.up campaign,
The campaign workers will not
go into the work with an idea of
driviny business men and citizens
inte line but their efforts will be
to cooperate in every way possi
ble and to enlist the cooperation
of others.
An executive committee, ap
pointed Sunday afternoon, met this
afternoon~ at 3:00 o'clock to for
mulate plans for eunlisitng all the
civie, fraternal, and official, and
welfare bodies of the city in the
gustained drive. The committee
is .gomposed, of Mr. Turpin, Edgar
Ls« BEberhart, adjutant; L., Dennis
Penny, Weaver Bridges, Frank E.
Mitchell, and Mr. Erwin, who is
vice-commander of the Legion in
the state, and a member of the
state unemployment committee.
Mr. Erwin presided at the
meeting Sunday afternoon. Speak
ers in addition to Messrs. Stock
bridge and Erwin were Walter E.
White, commander of the Kiber
ton post; and Howard B. Payne
and Clark Edwards, jr., members
of the Elberton post; Dr. Paul
Holliday, O. J. Telnas, D. A.
Moseley, Danielsville, and D. L.
Turpin.
The campaign here is part of
one which is being carried on all
over the country. The goal is to
obtain employment for a million
of the six million now unemploy
ed. This simultaneous action in
every section of the country will
stimulate business everywhere,
Mr. Stockbridge declared. '
Success will come only by co
operation which is the keynote of
the campaign all over the coun
try, and wunited action of every
welfare unit here and every citi
zen is demanded if the plan suc
ceeds, it was pointed out.

marked Monday the 200th auni.
versary of George Washington's
birth by pronouncing him the
chief contributor to the nation’s
greatness. ?
“The true eulogy of Washing
ton,” he said, “is this mighty na
tion.”
The Chief Executive's words—
delivered bhefore a joint session of
the senate and house — initiated
formally the bi-centennial cele
bration of the first President’s
birth, which will extend over the
next nine months, :
The occasion marked Mr. Hoo
ver's first appearance before a
joint session.
Turning completely from pres.
ent-day problems, the President
traced the course of the country’s
growtl. over the past two centu.
ries and called for a remewal of
the inspiration of Washington.
“Proudly,” he sald, “we report
to our forefathers that the repnb
lic is more secure, more constant,
more powerful, more truly great
than at any other time in . ite
history."”
He declared impatience witk
those who undertake what he
called “the irrational humanizs.

need, the President said, to 100 k

greatness” and great accompiish
