BRUCE CATTON’'S COMMENT
»;% The clang of the hammers in American shipyards
r‘%f is about to sound at a louder, faster pitch than we
. " have heard in years. Across the Pacific in the
i fi?”‘hlpyflrds of Japan an equally accelerated clang
. ing is about to begin; and unless all signs fail
: f: ‘these two nations will presently be embarked upon
g,f’“j’"i,,aaval building race of the traditional type, in
. & spite of treaties, gentlemen's agreements or any
..f other forms of restraint.
8 It is very easy for an American to deplore this
: ?fit;'end. No one who remembers the outcome of the
Ay:kl‘s last great mnaval building race—between
b ‘@ngland and Germany—can be blamed for dreading
v "v'x: advent of a new one. But it is not nearly so
- Wl easy to say just how this race is to be avoided.
-©% Your pacifist, of course, will remark that the
2" way to avoid a race of this kina is to build no

COUNTERFEITING INCREASING
According to press dispatches, the coun
terfeiting game is growing to be a business
of more than ordinary potentialties. 1932
showed a large increase in amounts manu
factured by counterfeit gangs over that is
sued in 1931, The amount for 1933, of
course, has not been announced, but up to
the present time, it is said that this year
will exceed in amount and in numbers of
counterfeiters, that of 1931-32.
A news item giving a detailed statement
for the past two years of counterfeiting
will be of interest:
“In 1931, for instance, eleven new coun
terfeit notes were circulated. The secret
service seized $36,572 in bogus currency
and $44,078 in spurious coins.
“But the next year, there were seventeen
new counterfeit notes. Currency seizures
reached $540,5638 and coin $49,773.” -
The passing of counterfeit money is
largely in the west in and around the sec
tions where silver is mined. Silver is
bought cheaper at these points than the
regular market price, but it makes little
difference to these expert. money “makers”
the price they have to pay for the bullion.
Continuing, the news item reads:
“Secret service chiefs get encourage
ment from a number of things.. The 1931
arre%ts totaled 1,524, those for 1932 were
2,139.
“But the fact that seizures jumped from
$80,650 in 1931 to $590,311 in 1932, the
officials say, gives them more cheer.
“That jump, they hold, shows that more
alert secret service agents were trapping
counterfeiters before they could spend
their no-good money.”
- The government officials are making a
determined effort to run down all counter
feiters and stop their operations. It is a
big undertaking; one that will require all
of the resources of the secret service de
partment of the government to bring
about. However, the government has neves
failed in its efforts to fun down criminals
and break up their nefarious games of de
ceit and criminality. : |
FIRE PREVENTION PROGRAMS
Instead of observing one week out of
each year as ‘“Fire Prevention” week,
every week in the year should be so ob
served. The loss of lives annually from
fires runs intp several figures to say noth
ing of the enormous loss of property. Fire
losses in life and property have grown to
be a menace that should be curbed in
every way possible. Strict regulations,
both municipal and state, should be enact
ed into laws and enforcement made obliga
tory on the part of city and state officers.
Of late years, this country has experien
ced many holocausts that has brought
death to people and damage to oroperty
running into the millions of dollars. Some
of the most noted fires that have occurred
in this country will be remembered: the
Iriquois theater, the Cleveland hospital
and the little school at Collinsville. What
the world does not realize is that these
fires are no worse than those that take
place every week in this so-called civilized
world, and which, by cumulative action,
even exceed these single disasters in loss
of life and property. Many years can pass
without the occurrence of a fire as horrible
as that in the Iriquois theater, but each
yvear witnesses the destruction of ten theou
and lives and a half billion dollars in prop
erty values.
If we look on fire in the mass, we will
come close to gaining some idea of the un
necessary menace it is. Billions of dollars
have been spent in seeking to prevent it
and while these efforts have bgrne good
fruit, public indifference has prevented
the success that should be achieved. :
Instead of observing one week as “fire
prevention” week, why not observe every
week of the year?

A Little of Everything;

A number of farmers in this
section have received checks
from the government for the
cotton plowed up some time
ago, which has stimulated
business considerably.
This fall, the farmer can buy
back the amount of cotton plowed
up . from the government at a
price of six cents the pound and
resell it for the market price.
Practically all, if not all, the far
mers will take advantage of this
agreement with the government
which will insure them of at least
ten cents the pound and maybe
more for this year’s crop. Such
an arrangement with the govern
ment has ‘een a great benefit to
cotton growers in that by plow
ing up of a certain percentage of
their present crop, they have been
able to realize a considerable
sum of ready cash.
With the recovery act func
tioning, much of the unem
ployed element has secured
work and business in all lines
is showing signs of improve
. ment. s
There is a better day ahead for
all business, industry and em
ployees. The purchasing power of
the public is increasing and soon
the days of business adversities
will have passed and normal con
ditions will be restored. It is
heartening to note the gradual
improvement in all lines of bus
iness and the steady decrease in
the number of unemployed, all of
which contributes to an early re
turn of settled and sound condi
tions.
Cotton picking time is near
at hand and hundreds will be
employed in .gathering the
fleecy staple. Besides, it will
give employment to those op
erating gins,
In faect, before it is realized,
conditions will be on the upward
trend and the people will be hap
py and prosperous once more., It
is good to think about the days
prior to 1929 and to realize that
we are nearing a return of these
happy days is ercouraging anl
inspiring for all to carry on to
that end. It has been a hard pull,
but the top of the hill will soon
be reached and everyone will go
over on a level.
With the expenditure of |
three to four hundred thous- |
and dollars, by the mayor and -}
councily for '‘municipal im- |
prpvements, conditions would
be greatly helped. 1
Municipalities all over the couns
try have secured loans from the
government and are making civie i
improvements, employing large}
forces of labor and reducing th
unemployed in great numbers:
Athens can do as much for itsf
unemployed, if the mayor and
council decide to apply for a ‘loan
from the public works fund. The
government is encouraging such
action on the part of towns, cities
and states in order that the res
covery act may become successs
ful, .
The widening and paving 'of
Broad street would relieve, ‘in
a great measure, the traffic
congestion on Hili street. Be
sides, citizens living beyond
Broad street would have the
distance down town shortened
considerably.
Then there is Lumpkin street, a
part of the Bankhead highway
from the east to Florida. The
widening and paving of this
street would be another improve
ment beneficial to this city. In
fact, practically all of the paved
streets in Athens are in need of
repairs, besides there are many
that should ke paved. The only
hope of securing these improve
ments rests with the mayor and
icouncil through securing a loan
from the government.

Department of Justice agents,
United States Army investigators,
Clarke county officers, and fed
eral officers here.
Taking the stand Monday after
noon at the preliminary hearing,
Sorrow and Goosh confessed their
part in the crime. Fuller, who did
not testify yesterday, told of his
part in the robbery last week.
Kinard's arrest and confessich to
County Policemen Bill McKinnon
and Claude Kidd, Solicitor Henry
West, and Major A. T. Colley,
August 5, led to the arrest of the
others, the recovery of eight rifles
and three machine gun tripods,
and sent officers seeking Elmore
in the first step to the solution of
the robbery.
In the raid on the arsenal here,
six Browning machine guns, sev
eral 50-shot automatic rifles, and
several 20-shot machine rifles,
together with tripods for the ma
chine gun and Dbelt-loaders were
stolen. In addition, three or four
.22 calibre target rifles were taken,
two of which have been recover
ed. Two of the machine guns
were sold to Cuban rebels, Sorrow
said. Sorrow and Fuller, who aid
ed Elmore in the robbery were to
have been paid $l5O and $25, re
spectively, but neither received
anything, they said.
Elmore is described as hetween
#2 and 35 years old, dark hair
with graying temples; six feet
tall and weighs between 190 and
200 pounds.
Federal officers said here today
that Emmanuel Rodriguez, Span
ish alien arrested in Auygusta a
month ago on charges of dope
smuggling and suspected of tak
ing part in robbing arsenals teo
supply Cuban revolutionists with
arms, had nothing to do with the
robbery at the University of Geor

On Tobacco Prices
WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Rep
resentatives of tobacco growers
and farm administration officials
reserved definite decision on a
program for flue-cured tobacco
Monday at a meeting here but
they thoroughly- discussed possible
steps to be taken in aiding tobac

. The meeting continued Tuesday,
‘with growers stating that they
‘felt they should know just what
course the administration intends
to take to raise prices, if that is
possible. The flue-cured tobacco
situation is complicated by the
fact that around 50 percent of the
product is exported and that much
of :the tobacco in Georgia already
‘has moved to market.. ‘
