B. M. Grier. : In his annual report to the board of education the superintendent who has just begun his fifth year as head of the Athens schools, as gerts that the most imperative need of the system at present are building needs. Mr. Crier has submitted and strongly recommended @ for the board’s consideration a definite program which includes the oper ation of the schools on the system of six grades in the elementary schools, two grades in the depart mental school on Childs street, and three grades In the High school. The board of education, Superin tendent (rier. stated, acted very wisely in appointing a committee to look into the desirability and feasability of securing grants and loans from the federal government under the present administration rehabilitation plan to inaugurate a building program for the Athens schools. The program as outlined in the superintendent’s report was been favorably considered by this committee and blue-prints and es timates of construction costs are now being made. Barrow, Chase, Childs street and the High School buildings are congested at present, Mr. Grier declared. College Avenue and Oco nee Street schools can adequately care for an additional grade at very little additional expense. In relieving the present conges tion at Barrow and Chase Stree! schools it would be very economi cal to provide additional rooms for the sixth grade, he explains. Mov ing the eighth grade from the High school would relieve the congestion ;there and at the same time make it possible, after reno: vation, for the High school to ad equately eare for the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades. The seventh and eighth grades would not con gest Childs treet school any more than the sixth and seventh grades, (Continued On Page Three) . Poisoner of Four Persons Confesses In Arkansas Wed.

Atlanta Federal Pen Gets Another Inmate ATLANTA, GA.—(#)— Ter ry Druggan, Chicago racketeer, received a new prison address today. He was transferred to the At lanta federal prison last night from the penitentiary at Leav enworth, Kan, where four prison officials were discharged after revelations that he had been accorded special privi leges, ' 1 The transfer was made se cretly. On his arrival here, Druggan was slipped from the train on a dark sidetrack in the railroad yards and hurried into a pricon automobile with an es cort of guards who drove him to the federal prison on the outskirts of the city, bs TALMADGE CANGELS GOVERNORS PARLEY Invites Southern Gover nors to Aid in Georgians’ Plea to Roosevelt ATLANTA —(AP) -—— Governor Talmadge has called off his pro jected conference of southern- -gov ernors here Saturday to discuss farm market prices, and substitu ted an invitation for the governors to join with the Georgia congress jonal delegation in laying a plea before President Roosevel: in ‘Washington. Before the gcvernor announced his change of plans, the Grorgia congressional delegation appoint ed Senator Walter F. George and Representative Emmitt Owen of the Fourth district to eall on the President and arrange for a aeei ing with the entire delegation. The congressmen apvroved the governor's plan to ask southern governors to meet in Washington with them. They agieed in speech es that the success of the presi dent’s recovery plan depends on the success of the Agricultural Ad justment act and urged unified ac tion by the south in an effort ob tain higher farm prices. The Georgia delegation met here partly to discuss the federal gov ernment’s action in holding up Georgia's $10,000,000 allotment for road work under the public works bill. They agreed to seek presiden tial intervention in that matter also. The fund has been held up while federal officials studied the status of the new highway board set up by Governor Talmadge. Senator George and Richard B. Russell, jr., brought the question of farm prices into the conference. The delegation agreed to block 'the pownward trend of the prices of major products, particularly cotton, tobacco, peanuts, and corn, by the imposition of processing taxes, with compensating taxes on competing products. Later at a luncheon given the delegation by Clark Howell, editor and general manager of the Atlan ta Constitution, Senator Russell said he believed a measure of re lief could be obtained through the president’s inflationary powers. Mr. Howell told his guests that “jsolated action will be of no value] in this effort. It must be a south wide effort and it will only suc-‘ ceed if our sister states join with us in our appeal.” ! Representative Parker told the group that two months ago “when the farmers of my section didn’t have any cotton” the staple sold as shigh as 12 cent per pound. Now that they have it, he added, prices are “far below what they should be.” Two weeks delay in raising prices, he said, would give the benefit to cotton companies and not to farmers. _Governor Talmadge asked for ~withdrawal of federal financial aid from the farmers, saying they were becoming too dependent on it. lOhs and Maynard Goosh Say They Did Not Know They Held Stolen Arms Otis- and Maynard Goosh, at whose Jackson county farm house | geveral rifles stolen from the Uni versity of Georgia were stored. deny that they knew they were. tharboring stolen goods, according 'to Walter G. Cornett and W. T. Ray, their attorneys. When Frank Elmore left the jguns at their home, the brothers thought they were merely doing a (favor for a friend, and did net know that the rifles had been stolen, they said at a preliminary hearings before U. S. Commission er Sara K. Hawkins. They were charged with receiving, concealing and disposing of stolen United States Government property. Otis Goosh was bound over under $5,- 000 bond, ‘and Maynard Goosh is THE BANNER-HERALD MOVIE STARS HIRE BODYGUARDS AS KIDNAPING MENACE GROWS - st UL e S g e ] 3 A R PR RS S A R e N R 0 0 : g R, SRR el SRS s S LO e s 2 T : e oy ARG, (O S AOBL S 8 MGe : S N O R , SAN o R e R e s R A s il s L R ORI R -,‘%’,'17'.;}:4-‘.-.'<-'-:-!:':1-,2:5:1:"1.'-;-"' s R R 2 3 % Ri e S AU SO s % RS S R R o e 7 R ol G R B R L e PSR es S R 5 ara it M Y Y SRR RR R R S TR O AT R s . & oM 8 P i:w»:’.;:;.-:_._c_-:-v;:-:;:;:; SR R R e TR R P BRI R R \‘(\ 25 L ST R S A B RR R e "RRR YS, 5 R BRI R iR T R . 5 B L E N \‘t/ BLB AR e WR R e e R e iR T, R R . sNG X Se ST RS 2 Pf: S R o ‘&* T R SRR |RS R R B A e e SRS E e |IR D o S N MY G e vmdaa e | B b 8 B T ot e ‘9‘ R | AR 2 R, 3 e TR PN ageteeis B R s % | PRSI 5 e : N R RU e R | BRSPS R, S R PR O ¥ '?"'

A few years ago it was luxurious homes with which tha stars were burdened, Regardless of how the outside populace felt, fame in the film capital was measured by the size of the home in which the cele brated one lived. Later this same fame came to be measured by the kind of car owned (partially at least) and the size of the swimyning pool located in the back yard. Everyone of im pertance had to have a swimming pool of some sort. If they didn't, they weren’t impgortant. And now, as the result of the re cent wave of kidnapings in the pa tion, and Hollywood’s recent labor troubles, it's bodyxard\( If you haven’t at least one husky body guard, you don't mean a thing in Hollywood any longer.

A modified presidential re-em lioyment agreement providing for temporary minimum wages and shorter hours for newspaper work ers was approved Tuesday night by Hugh S. Johnson, recovery ad ministrator, y As approved, the temporary schedule, submitted by the Ameri can Newspapers Publishers asso ciation, left open several controver sial questions, Including insistence of the publishers on their consti tuticnal right to a free press. These questions will be deter mined before a permanen; code is agreed upon after public hearings and presidntial approval. A major provision of the temp orary agreement provide: a 40-hoar work week for reporters and other editorial workers receiving less than $35 weekly. It also provides: A 40-hour week for accounting, clerical, office, <ervice or sales employes except & limited num ber of eirculation and delivery men 'and outside salesmen, The same schedule for mechani ¢al workers or articans.

Each producer had not only one, bug sev eral bodyguards, all of whom were milling around an ante-room wait ing for the meeting to break up And, of course, the smallest pro ducer, Carl Laemmle, jr., had the largest number of bodyguards—six in all, However, there is a very serious side to this protecting “business.

Three days of preparation, the blue printed scheming of eity, county and federal authorities, ef foris of 300 selected possemen from city, suburban and state’s attorney's forces, with wireless squad car directing and airplanes soaring over the scene, went sou naught Tuesday as two members of a gang which sought a further $50,000 ransom ins-allment from John Factor, recently abducted market speculator, careened away in a burst of gun fire, G But out of the unhappy denoue ment which saw the suspects es cape with a package representing final payment for Factor's’ release, authorities had for their work a sedan, abandoned by their quar ries, two men in detention who claimed they were hikers, and six others seized in a saloon as a re sult of clues uncovered in the ex citing, bullet punctured pursuit. \Police reports indicated Richard (Yuma) Philips, known here as an underworld go-between; Vemon Miller, one of the notorious Har vey Bailey gang of Texas; Tommy Touhy, bhrother of Roger Touhy, held for the kidnawing of Willlam ‘Hamm, jr., St. Paul brewer, and George Kelly, said by authorities. to be wanted in the Urschel kid naping case of Oklahoma were tbel parties for whom the trap was. laid. ‘ An over anxious motor squad car, which forget orders to cruise lazily near the negotiation area, north of suburban La Grange, and spurted ahead with a roar of en gines at the signal which was to start the huge net closing in, was blamed for the fiasco.

The little nationalist leader, who was arrested August 1 at the out set of a new disobedience cam paign and committed to Yeroda jail ‘here for a year because he refused to obey a command to cease po- Mtical activities, threatened to start the fast unless he was given full righs as a state or political prisoner. At present he is treated as an ordinary prisoner and certain priv ileges have been, denied him. He had written the inspector-genera’ of jails, asking for rights he en joyed previously. Thus he would be enabled, the Mahatma indicated, to conduct a campaign for the regeneration of the untouchables as he did while imprisoned up to May 8 when he started a three-weeks’ fast in pro test against ‘“‘untouchability.” It was believed that the Mahat ma’'s new fast was due to the fact he has been unable to supply his usual articles to the press this week. “I might as well be dead if I am not allowed to proceed with my work, which is my very life,” said the Mahatma in a statement he sent to the Bombay government after his imprisonment.
