MICHIGAN RATIFIES
PROHI LAW REPEAL
South Carolina Hopes to
Pass Beer Bill Early
Tuesday Night. -~
LANSING, Mich.— (AP) —Just
52 days after the propoeed amend
ment for repeal of national pro
hibition was submitted by con
gress, Michigan Monday becomes
the first state to hold its consti
tutional convention for ratifica
tion.
" There is no doubt ahout the out
fome for 99 delegates pledged to
repeal of the Eighteenth amend
‘ment and a lone defender of pro
hibition were chosen in the elec
tion a week ago. There will not
\even be any debate, for the legis
lature in authorizing the conven
tion clothed it with no delibera
tive powers. :
Organizing in a morning session
in which Chief Justice John S.
McDonald administers the oath,
the convention re-assembles Mon
day afternoon for the ratification
forces. .
The roll will be called and for
the first time in history the con
vention method of changing the
federal constitution will have
been employed.
Cause Hopeless
Although his cause lis hopeless,
the lone dry delegate, Dr. Eugene
Davenport, former dean of agricul
ture at University of lillinois is, in
his own words, ‘“carrying the pro
hibition banner” to the convea
tion. Monday night he will be
the honored guest at a dinner
tendered him by the state dry
forese.
Among the vepeal delegates are
two clergymen, the Rev. Albert
M. Ewart, of Eaton county, and
the Rev. H. F. R. Frincke, of
Monroe county.
Although Michigan has voted
“wet” overwhelmingly in the last
two elections, the state still is
“dry” so far as legal beer is con
cerned. Legislative leaders, strug
gling with regulatory measures,
expect to remedy that not later
than May 1.

Carl C. Gregory, .
Macon Minister,
Commits Suicide
MACON, Ga.—(AP)—Dr. Carl C.
Gregory, 44-year-old pastor of
the Mulberry Street Methodist
church, died in a hosptial here
Sunday night of a bullet wound
police said was self-inflicted.
The churchman, described by
Bishop John M. Moore in Atlanta
as one of the “most brilliant
minds” of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, was | found in a
park Saturday night wounded near
the heart. Police who took him to
@ hospital quoted him as saying,
“I was a fool to do it.”
Dr. Gregory, who had held pas
torates in Dallas and San Anto
nio, Texas, came to Macon from
the latter gcity in January. Since
that time he had been ill and re
turned to his church duties here
only last Thursday after a two
months’ leave of absence.
A church official said the pastor
called him to his study Saturday
and told him he was unable to
carry on and that he could not
memorize his sermons as he had
in the past.
Dr. Gregory was born in Bir
mingham, Ala. His wife and a
sister, Miss Lillian Gregory of Bir
mingham, were at the- bedside
when he died. He is survived also
by three children. -
Funeral services were arranged
for 3 p. m. Monday, with Bishop
John M. Moore and Bishop W. N.
Ainsworth conducting. The body
is to be taken to Birmingham
where services will be held at the
First Methodist church Tuesday.
Dr. Gregory held degrees from
Birmingham-Southern college and
Vanderbilt university. He had held
pastorates in Birmingham and in
Owensboro, Ky., in addition to
those in Texas and Macon. He
came to Macon to succeed Dr.
Walter Anthony who was v‘asslgn
ed to Travis Park church in San
Antonio.
land added “we will ~flght with
every drop of blood in our veins
to free these mem because they
are innocent.”
There were fewer than 100 per
i sons in the ,courtroom as the ver
ldict was read Sunday and it was
Ireceivr-d without demonstration.
iPatterson. standing with bowed
head, was visibly nervous as the
'jury gave its verdict to Judge
{ James E. Horton.
A short while later, the Negro
was removed under a guard of
i militiamen to Birmingham whete
| eight others are awaiting hearings
iin the case. He will be sentenced
:formally Anril 17.
Patterson was convicted of at
itacking one of the two white
women in the case. His alleged
| victim testified during the trial
Iholdlng to her original story that
i she and the other girl were at
tacked by nine Negroes gboard a
freight train in March, 1931, as
they hoboed their way back to

Asks Congress to Create
Tennessee Valley Au
thority to Supervise De

FIVE POINT PLAN
HELD IN MESSAGE
“It Is Time to Extend
Planning to Wider
Field,”” Roosevelt Says.
WASHINGTON —(/)—Presidpnt
Roosevelt put his Tennessee valley
program before congress Monday
in a messgage asking rehabilitation
of the ' Muscle Shoals, Alabama,
power and nitrate plant.
He asked creation of a Tennes
see valley authority to supervise
the development of power, flood
control, forest —conservation and
improvemnet of agriculture,
The text follows: '
“To the congress:
“The continued idleness of a
grea‘ national investment in the
Tennessee valley leads me to ask
congress for legislation necessary
to -enlist thig project in the serv
i¢e of the people,
“it is clear that the Muscle
Shoals development is but a small
part of the potential public useful
ness of the entire Tennessee river.
“Suech use, If envisioned in its
entirety, transcends mere power
development:
“It enters the wide field of flood
control, soil erosion, afforestation,
elimination from agricultural use
of marginal lands and distrihution
and diversification of indugtry.
i' “In short, this power develop-
Iment of war days leads logically
to national planning for a com
plete river watershed involving
many states and the future lives
and welfare of millions.
| “It touches and gives life to all
forms of human concerns.
’ “I, therefore, suggest to the con
|gress legislation to create a Ten-
Inessee valley authority—a corpor
|ation clothed with the power of
Igovernment but possessed of the
]nexibmty and initiative of a pri-
Ivute enterprise,
' General Welfare
| “It should be charged with the
| broadest duty of planning for the
proper use, conservation and de
velopment of the matural resources
{of the 'Tennessee river drainage
| basis and its adjeining territory
for the general social and econo
mic welfare of the nation.
“This authority should also be
clothed with the necessary power
to carry these plans into effect.
Its duty should be the rehabilita
'tion of the Muscleg Shoals develop
'ment and the coordination of it
Iwith the wider plan.
“Many hard lessons have taught
lus the human waste that results
from lack of planning. Here and
thére a few wise cities and coun
ities have looked ahead and plan
ined. But our nation has ‘just
[grown.’
i “It 'is time to extend planning

lject many states directly concern

| greatest rivers.

088 TAKES [SSUE
WITH COMMISSION
Selicitor Refuses to Com
ply With ‘“Big Stick”
Demands of Board.
Characterizing the action of the
county commissioners who last
week took steps to bring about a
cut in salaries of all public offic
ials as “big stick” methods, Car
lisle Cobb, solicitor' of the city
court says he refuses, to take the
cut but anounces he will donate
the money to the public and con
duct an open forum over the radio
each Wednesday night at 8:30
o'clock to discuss public matters.
“Citizens are invited to write in
about these questions they wish
information about”, the solicitor
said, Discussing the salary cut
which he refuseg to take, the solic
itor sald he is donating the
amount to the public, although he
cannot afford it, His statement
follows:
“Pditor Athens Banner-Herald:
“Last week there appeared an
article in your paper by the County
Commissiohers of Clarke county.
I was requested, along with a
number of other county officers,
to take a cut in salary of nineteen
per cent. ;
“The law of Georgla prohibl's
public officials from agre¢>ments
to take less salary or compensa-
tion than is fixed by the proper
authorities, These gentlemen do
not seem to know the law on this
subject, L
(See Hall-vs.-Stulb 126 Georgia
Supreme Court, Page 521), and
other cases.
“However, with the present pop
ular hysteria, the county commis
sioner's are now holding a big
stick over some county officials—.
They say in effect—take this cut,
or be labelled by us as bad citi
zens, In answer to this ultimatum
I cannot speak for other officials
and therefore speak only for my
self, '
“I cannot agree with these gen
tlemen that they are acting either
wisely or well, and ‘T will not ac
cept the cut in salary, for it is
against public policy as announced!
by the supreme court, and wnuld@
result if carried on in awarding
public offices to the lowest bhid-]
ders, who would in the long run|
be those most unfit. {
“I do not wish to bhe labelled as|
a hog, though, and propose, though!
1 know that I cannot afford it, to
donate the amount of this cut to:
the public. It would amount to|
nothing whatever to the tax-pay-|
erd, but will, I hope, result in do-/|
ing much good to the people, es
pecially those who are throughl
poverty incapable of coping with
the wealthier citizens in adminis
tering our governmental affairs in
the city and county. :
