J. H. Ewing, Atlanta real estate man, was called as Atlanta’s firs! ‘witness, apparently in an attack on the telephone company's valua \tion of its properties in Georgia. Ewing said that compared to the “normal year of 1924” real estate values in the Atlanta area had de clined from 33 1-3 to 756 per cent according to the character and condition of the property, with 50 per cent decline about the aver age. Mr. Ewing said he Rad been in the real estate and rental business in Atlanta about 20 years and for a period ending about 25 years aga served as a city tax assessor. Al that time, he ‘'sajd, property in the city was assessed at about 60 per cent of its reasonable value. Commissioner Ben Huiet of At lanta asked what it was agsessed for now and Ewing said: “About 100 to 200 per cent more than it would sell for.” In answer to questions of assist ant attorney general J. J. E. An derson, Mr. Ewing said farm land values have ‘“gone down even ‘\more than,city property.” * Councilman Joe Berman of the fourth ward, chief spokesman for a group of Atlanth witnesses, said ‘Atlanta asked for lower telephone rates for Both business and resi dence lines.

LABOR CONVENTION IS NEARING CLOSE More Uprisings Expected Before Last Washington Session Tomorrow WASHINGTON,—(#;: -The Am erican Federation of Labor swung Thursday toward the close of its 53rd annual convention with the older and more conservative lead ers concededly in full control for another year. Before the convention ends, probably Friday, officials expect there may be more attempted up rising born of the depression, but they are confident these will be roundly beaten down as have twe other of majjor proportions in the last couple of days. The election of officers comes late Thursday. But with an open statement before the convention by Johp L.

Mr. Lucus is ¢hairman of the state board of control which has jurisdiction and supervision over the eleemosynary institutions of the state. Mr. Mclntosh is one of the members of the board, ¥t was learned here Thursday ‘that attorney General J.

Dodd, American am bassador, Thursday morning Te ceived the Ilatest instructions of Secretary of State Cordell Hull while the Spanish and British em bassies and the Dutch legation were similarly advised to make representations. Meanwhile deep concern Wwas manifested at the American em bassy over the recurrence of Nazf molestations of Americans. A foreign office spokesman commenting on information that Hull had demanded the promp! apprehension of the offenders, de clared there had been no needless delay, and® added “we are doing all possible to hasten the prosecu tion of cases.” The burden of the complaint of the four countries was that ap parently nothing ever happens af ter the attacks on their nationals beyond a formal apology by the German foreign office. These four actions, added to the previous American protests as well as the earlier representations by Switzerland, Poland, Russia, Aus tria and Cgzechoslovakia, indicated that something more than an an ‘nouncement in the press that the foreigners are not to be molested if they fail to aslute the Nazi fashion is necessarv to assyre the cafety of visiting foreigners. l = .

Fourth Liberty Be Refunded Needs $2,000,000; Inter est on Scme Liberty Bonds Stops April 1 WASHINGTON —(&)— Treasury financing on a $2,000,000,000 scale Thursday was the adminisitration program for raising ready cash and refunding $1,875,000,000 of the Fourth Liberty L.oan issue. A new issue of 12-year bonds, paying 4 1-4 per cent the first year and 3 1-4 thereafter, provided the means of accomplishing the two double purpose of the opera tion. The exact amount of the issue was undetermined, but $500,000,000 worth will be sold for cash at 101 1-2. Subscriptions open Monday. Other portions of the bonds will be exchanged for Fourth Liberty honds, which aggregate $6,268,094,- 150 and bear 4 1-4 per cent inter est. Treasury officials expected only holders of the $1,875,000,000 called. bonds to take advantage of the exchange. Secretary Woodin said the $500,- 000,000 sale would provide cash for current needs, and the refunding would “affect a material erduction in the annual interest charge on the public debt.” METHOD EXPLAINED WASHINGTON—(£)—If you own a Fourth Liberty'bond, get it out and take a look at its serial num ber. If it begins with the letter A and ends in the digit one, be gins in J and ends in 9, or K and O, or if it carries mno letter and ends in the digits, 1, 9 or 0, it has been “called” by the treasury. This means that the government wants to redeem that particular bond and has given notice that af ter April 15 the bond will stop drawing interest. In exchange you can have cash or another bond one of a new issue, The usual ‘way of making the transfer is to take your Liberty bond to your bank and tell the latter what you want.. In almost all cases, the banks make a prac tice of arranging the whole trans action, then notifying the bond holder of the status. However, if you want to attend to it yourself, take the bond to any Federal Reserve bank- or branch ro to the Treasury in Washington, Same Interest i The bond givem you in exchange will bear the same interest as your Liberty, 4 1-4 per cent, for the first year, but after that the vield will be 8 1-4 per cent. Thus the Treasury reduces the interest charges on the public debt. At the same time, the Treasury is offering for sale $500,000,000 ot the new bond issue at a price of 101 1-2, close to the market price of its last issue of similar bonds. " . If you want to subscribe to that, go about it in the same way as in making a bond-for-bond exchange —_— 7 (Continued On Page Two) ‘ ’ ' woss y w 5 00 oum ey L, A. B. C.
