Mail Carer Freed PRESIDENT FORNS RECOVERY COUNCLL TO BATTLE EMERGENCE Unemployment Among Athens Textile Operatives Practially Wiped Out JREMFLOYMENT IN ITHENS SEGTOR 13 MPIDLY ABSORBED Relief Lists Here Reduced Ninety Percent, Red Cross Executive Says As Mill Speed Up NUMBER IS REDUCED SINCE LAST MONTH Merchants Have Feeling “Good Times”’ Are Really On Way Unemployment in Athens and Lthis section is being absorbed at a phenomenal rate due to the speeding up of textile operations and other business, according to a survey made by the American Red Cross here. A few months ago there were 1,- 680 families in Athens and Clarke county depending on public relief. Today that number has shrunk 90 percent., Last month there were only 80 families dependent upon public aid for existence, and that number is being decerased as cot ton mills call for more labor. \, Several textile mills in this sec tion have not awaited the com mencement of the enforcement of the Industrial Recovery Act, which provides for shorter hours of twork and a minimum wage, but have gone ahead with additions to their staff of employes. AsS a result, relief work in this commu hity has returned to & mnormal hasis, Miss Vincentia Coppinger, Red Cross executive, reveals. Of 140 fmailies in the old Sou thern Mill district here last month, only 10 remain on the relief lists and it is expected that this num ber will be wiped out at an early date. The Bibb Manufacutring company at Macon has absorbed a large number of the unemployed here, and mills at Crawford and Jefferson have also employed a number of the jobless in Athens. Several manufacturing plants in Athens and vieinity report orders sufficient to keep them running for several weeks. Trucks were sent to Athens by the Bibb mills to employ labor. Miss Coppinger says that so many calls have been received here for textile employes that jobs are available for those desiring work. Six weeks ago the Mallison Braided Cord mill here employed |almnt 25 operatives and began work day and night to supply orders. The management announ ces it is ready to comply with the brovisions of ' the Industrial Re covery Act. This will mean shorter hours and more® pay, but for the present the number of employes will not be inereased. More employes have been taken on by the Big Ace Overall com pany here, with enough orders to ‘un through August. The Athens Manufacturing company and Cli max Hosiery mill are operating on 2 full time basis. While the increase in employ nent has not had time to be re lected in business here, there is a eneral air of optimism, and mer ‘hants are feeling that with im rediate cash in sight for the far-, (Continued on Page Hight) o Chané:J; Shown in Cobb’s Condition Rl !

(Copyright, 1933, by the Assocdiated Press.) " ' NEW YORK.—(AP)—Kidnapers, operating throughout the United States, have sought at least $650,- 000 from victims' familles and friends in the last five months. They haven't received that sum r—probably. No one knows. But ‘the racket has paid them more ‘than a quarter of a million dollars ‘in that time.

RUCKER, COLLIER CLASH AT HEARING Athens Attorney Again Questions Power Com " pany Vice President ATLANTA — (AP) — Charles Collier, vice president of the Geor gia Power company, resumed the witness stand Tuesday at Governor Talmadge's‘ ouster hearing against the Public Service commission and clashed again with Lamar Ruck er, Athens city attorney, who cross examined him. ' . Rucker spent about two hours Monday afternoon questioning Col lier and resumed his quizzing at Tuesday's session. Collier and the attorney argued occasionally as to the form of Rucker’'s questions. Questioned as to whether any “material inducements” ever were made by the Power company to keep large industrial customers as ponsumers, Collier said officials of the company: were “almost con stantly” in touch with their large industrial customers. “Does this mean. they are always kicking?” Rucker asked. “No,” Collier said, “our indus trial customers as a class are sat isfied customers.” The witness said the eompany had never lost -a large industrial Jrustomer and that this added just that much to the company's re ceipts, [ He sald the company's experts were constantly studying power rates and whenever such rates be came “out of line” a schedule of “reductions was submitted to keep business on the company’s lines.

REVENGE THEORY 15 HELD 1% DCOANELL KIONAPING IN NY. Georgia Mail Carrier Kid naped by Three Con victs; Later Released at Wake Forest, N. C. WEALTHY ILLINOIS BANKER ABDUCTED O’Connell Is Nephew of Democratic Chiefs in U state New York Area ALPANY, N. Y.—(AP)—Break ing a three-day silénce, the kid napers of “Young John" O'Connell, 24-year-old nephew of the up state Democratic leaders, Dan and Ed O'Connell, Tuesday sent Dan O'Connell a new note calling for a coded list of men who might serve as go-betweens for them and the O’Connell family. While the O'Connells maintain ed the silence they have kept since their nephew was kidnaped early Friday morning, it was learned that the kidnapers renew ed their demands for $250,000 ran som and said the original coded list of contact men inserted in a newspaper advertisement Sunday was not acceptable. In response to the kidnapers’ ‘demand, the O'Connells Tuesday caused to be published in the Al ibany Times-Union a new coded advertisement. It -was inserted without comment 'by Walter V. Johnsoni, Democratic leader of the city of Rengselaer, on the op "'poslte side of the Hudson river from Albany. When deciphered it ‘'was found to contain 11 names of friends of the O’Connell family, just as Sunday's .advertisement. Friends of the 10'Connell family, informed that the kidnapers had broken their long silence, said they felt that young O’Connell was - still alive. They assumed from the kidnapers .silence that. there had been a dispute among them over the selection of a con tact man from the first list. With the vast political machin ery of the state at their command, the O'Connells were powerless to act for fear that th e kidnapers would ecarry out’ their threats to $:ill young O'Cdnnell. Meanwhile, the abductos had not been heard from since late ' Saturday when they asked that intermediaries be named. O'Connell, a 213-pound ' athlete, disappeared early Friday morning, but his kidnaping was not made public until Monday night. Mem bers of the family still have not commented on his disappearance. Police did not become aware of the abduction until ‘the newspa pers, which had withheld publica tion of the story, spread the news. It was understood that state military authorities were consider ing the possibility of asking Gover nor Lehman to call on the New Yok national guard to aid in the search for O'Connell, who is a lieutenant in the organization. John J., jr., is the only son of John J., one of the three brothers who dominate the Democratic or ganization of Albany and Albany county, and the only nephew of Daniel P. and Ed. The 11 intermediaries named by the O'Connells in a code notice, pulbished in the Sunday Knicker bocker Press, were absent from their places of business and had not been heard from since their names were made known. ' First Information A telephone eall to Samuel Aron owitz, law partner of Edward J' received on Friday was the first information that young O'Connell was held for ransom. £ “Tell Eddie that we've got his nephew and that he will hear from us,” a muffled voice advised Aron owitz “If he tells the police we'll kill him.” A letter was received during the day advising the family to desig nate intermediaries through a code message in the newspaper. The notice was inserted by Walter V. Johnson, Demcoratic leader in the ne‘ghboring county of lensselaer. Another telephone call and a sec ond letter from the kidnapers was received by the O'Connells Satur day, the last word from the kid napers. The consents of the let ter were not revealed. Police Chief David Smurl, direect ing the police insquiry, said he was acting almost entirely on the basis of newspaper reports. “We have been singularly unu.bla«‘l | ——— 1 ‘(Continued on page eight.) 1 A.
