Some of thei police were in-
Iclined to believe that ‘at least
{part of the $50,000 ransom de

father denied this. “I never paid
Ithom a cent,” ‘he wsald, “and I‘HI

II Throughout the long investiga-I

Iwero advocated by Dr. S. V. San
iford, president of the University
|of Georgia, in an address before
{ the Georgia Fducation Association
Friday meorning in Savannah.
«Tax Revenues must be revised'
he said, “and there must be pro
vided state and federal aid for the
Imaintenance of education. The
lanswer to the problem of unem
ployment has been federal relief.
The answer to the problem of
public education may be much the
same.”
Transfer of support from local
communities to the entire state in
the financing of publie schools is
required, Dr. Sanford said in ad
{vocating this fundamental chang?
{in the present system, and more

To Cal! Special 'Session,
To Legalize Beer
GOVERNOR DECLARES
HE KNOWS 3.2 KICKS,
Has Seen 1,000 Boys and
Girls Drunk Under Pro
hibition, He Says
SAVANNAH, Ga.— (AP) —
Governor Talmadge's train’
pulled into Savannah early
Friday to the tune of “How
Dry I Am”—played by the
fireman's band.
The governor grinned, but
gave no indication if he was
consdering any relief for the
perspiring firemen or the crowd
that cheered their selection.
,| DENOUNCES PROHIBITION
. ATLANTA, Ga—(AP)—Gover-
I nor Talmadge, speaking Thursday
to the Civitan club of Decatur,
condemned prohibition, but ap-
Ipeared unmoved by demands for
beer in Georgia.
“Beer would not displace ligquor
in Georgia,” he said, after de
| seribing his trip to Cuba, during
which he admitted seeing very lit
tie drunkenness.
| “However,” the governor added,
| “whoever says 3.2 percent heer is
' not’ intoxicating never drank any.
I know better.” ’ !
In three trips to Cuba, Goyernor
’Tu]madge said, “I have nev®r seen
a drunk native there, while in At
’lanta I have seen over a throusand
| boys and girls drunk on the night
of a football game. This is-a con
dition that challenges our patriot
ism. Prohibition was enacted with
the best motives, but it is time
for our church people to find some
bhetter solution to the problem."”
TO STOP TALKING
ATLANTA, Ga.—(AP)—Gover
nor ’i‘almadge will make no fur
ther statements regarding the
proposed special session of the
legislature to legalize 3.2 beer in
Georgia.
‘The chief executive said Thurs
day he had decided on this move
because he believed his state
ments had been misconstrued.
“Every time I go into a discus
‘sion of the beer situation I find
my statements distorted and my
’views opposed, so I'm not going
lto say another word about beer,”
he said.
‘ “The Constitution of the State
of Georgia provides that a special
Isession of , the assembly be called
lonly in an emergency. I do not
think this beer hullabaloo is any
lemergency. 1 do not think that
[there is any other emergency ex
isting at fhis time and that is all
Ithere is to it,” he concluded.
‘ DEMAND IS GROWING
Georgia legislators Friday con
tinued their drive for a special
session of the legislature to enact
beer legislation for revenue pur
