Eight Are Killed
Ll \
In Auto Accidents
Over the Week-End
ATLANTA, Ga.— (AP) —Eight
persons were killed in automobile
accidents in the South over the
week-end, but traffic mishaps
were comparatively few in spite
of summer weather that brought
crowded highways.
An overturned automobile near
Demomoplis, Ala., cost the life of
Frank Colvin Smith of Bessemer,
Ala.,, and James Glass of Linden,
Ala,, was killed when his car col
lided with a truck.
Mrs. George King of Fellsmere,
Fla., was killed when her auto
mobile overturned near Melbourne
and Hugh Wall was killed at
Chipley, Fla., by an automobile
which struck his bicycle.
Kellay hopes to send Massie, his
society matror mother-in-law, Mrs,
Granville Fortescce, and two navy
enlisted men, Albert O. Jones and E,
J. Lord, to prison.
The psychiatrist was brought

WASHINGTON — (AP) — The
National Asseciation of Manufic

“avoid experiments, especially those
condemned by historical prece.

“There is no evidence that our
difficulties arise from ‘a lack of

“We believe the fundamental
thing that cann®t be overstressed
is that confidence is required to

result of Sunday’s Diet elections,

Only in Bavar iadid the “Hitler

NOT 10 R 0
Several of Governor Russell's
strongest Athens supporters
over the week-end were in com
munication with him directly or
indirectly urging him not to be
come a candidate for the United
States senate for theé *unexpired
term of AVilliam J. Harris.
One of the governor's Athens
supporters, a man with powerful
political influence here, is known
to have begged him to keep out
.of the race for the genate. This
man appeared deeply concerned
[for the governor’s politcial future
if he becomes a senatorial candi
date. * Another supporter, a man
who has had considerable politi
cal experience, expressed the
opinion that with few exceptions
it 'is the “Boy Scout” element
(the younger group) among the
governor's supperters’ who urged
nim to forego practically certain
re-election to the governorship
for the more doubtful senatorial
nomination, This man is known
to have declared that the gover
nor will almost certanily be de
feated if he runs for the senate.
It has been repeatedly heard on
the street here in the last few
days that if Governor Russell
should give up the governorship
before his re.organization pro
gram is completed, the people
will rebuke him at the polls. How
ever, it is also known that friends
of the governor all over the state
urged him to stand for the long
term senatorial nomination in
September. Strong pressure was
brought to bear upon thé gover.
nor all last week by his political
supporters in various parts of the
state in an effort to induie him
to remain in the governorship
and leave the senatorial race to
iothers.
t The “Boy Scout” element, it is
said, has pointed out to the gov
ernor that if he foregoes a chance
at the senate now, he way never
have another chance. They are
reported to have told hiwa that if
he is elected governor ' again,
three and one-half years will
have elapsed between the expira
tion of the second term and an
other senatorial election. “By
that time,” they are said to have
contended, ‘“you will be‘forgot-‘
ten.” % ‘
Athens i 8 more than ordinarily
interested in the senatorial race
in view of the possible entrance
of Abit Nix into the contest. Mr.
Nix was out of the city Monday
and will be away until the middle
of the week, It is known, how
ever, that he is stiil seriously con
sidering becoming a candidate for
the senate. Somie of his friends
over the state have urged him, if
he should decide not to run for
the senate, to become a candidate
for the governorship. His decis
ion, however, will probably have
to remain in the dark until his
return to Atheng, about Wednes
day.
Nix supporters, however, have
interested themselves in his can
didacy in various parts of the
state, and it i 8 certain that if he
should run for the senate or 197
governor, he will have one of the
strongest organizations any can
didate for either office has ever
had. '

tremendous odds against him, im.

In these two states the “Stop.

At stake, far more important
than the 112 votes to be had, is:
the moral effect on political
