Justice department, the move fol-’ lows disclosure of the withdmwa]l from the case of the lone income tax investigator that has been’ working on it.

WASHINGTON. — (AP) —'A drastic application of the indus trial control principle to everyday trade is now under way, with cotton textiles the proving ground of the experiment. From now on no man may start a new cotton mill without appro val of Hugh S. Johnson after a committee of cotton men elected to supervise operation of the in dustry’s code have made recom mendations. Not only that, but no mill owner may increase his pro ductive machinery without the same approval, recorded in a cer tificate bearing the administrator’s signature. ~ Johnson approved regulations to this effect Wednesday while Presi dent Roosevelt and his recovery aides worked hours over price policies for retail stores. Thel President’s decision on the retail issue was not expected before Fri day The new rule for the cotton in dustry, for so long as the code continues .and the President ap proves, requires, in exact language, an administrator’s certificate “prior to the installation of additional productive =~ machinery by persons engaged or engaging in the cotton textile industry.” Officials interpret the regulation as closing cotton textiles te new comers except through the pur chase of existing interests and says it means production may be kept to market demand. i 1 The only thing -yet done that“ compares with the sweeping mas tery of the new act is the produc-‘ tion allocation established by the! federal government over the oil‘ industry, which as an exploiter of natural resources, is regarded as invested with a semi-public char acter. AIRMAIL ROUTE 15 BEING URGED HERE Chamber of Commerce Develops Plan for Plac ing Athens on System | Plans for an airmail route ithrough Athens are being devel oped by Secretary Joel® Wier of the Chamber of Commerce and Postmaster Paul Smith, as a re sult of the announcement that the airmail route from Charlotte to Augusta had been temporarily dis continued because of its being un profitable. - The Charlotte-Augusta line, ac cording to Mr. Wier, was an ex tension of the main route which runs through the North Carolina city on down into Atlanta. This extension provided airmail ser vices for Camden, S. C, Columbia, ‘and ended at Augusta. “By routing the airmail through Athens to Atlanta, a complete circuit will be made,” Mr. Wier said, “a circuit which will provide not only Athens with airmail fa ‘cilities, but will put Augusta, Co lumbia and Camden in closer touch with the widespread net work of the airmail service which' converges at Atlanta.” | ~ The first runway at Epps’ field ‘wa.s recently completed and the construction of a second runway ibvill begin shortly after the foot ‘ball game between the University of Georgia and New York univer sity. It was deemed inadvisable to start work on the second run [way before Octobtr 28 because a -large number of planes are ex pected at the field over that week end. This added construction in creases Athens chances for secur ing the airmali route, it is said. - Letters will be written to Au ‘gusta, Camder? and Columbia offi cials asking their cooparetion in securing the continuance of the route with the completion of the circuit from Charlotte to Atlanta via these cities. “It will take time to aecomplish this,” Mr. Wier said, “so we plan to start work as soon as possible. The necessary amount of investi gation before any definite step (will be taken by the government will give ample time for the com pletion of the second runway at Epps' field.” . Weltner Pledges University System To Local Leadership Program Throughout State TALADGE HOPEFUL ABOUT 1.

The lim itations which restrict borrowing power of Georgia local and county governments heretofore have pre vented the state from sharing fully in the 93,300,000 public works fund. . The proposed mew prison would be built in Tattnall county where the state owns 6,000 acres of land. Two of the highway bridges would be across the Savannah river, one in Dincoln county and one near Sylvania, county seat of Screven couty, and the third over the Oc mulgee river hetween Coffee and Telfair counties. . * The governor said no definite policy was being set by the ad ministration for states with con stitutional restrictions in its con gsideration of the Georgia projects' put he wus hopeful a way had been found to permit other self- (Continued on Page Two) | « BRANNON WRITES ~ ON FORCING BID | l e ——" Agrees With Culberson l Two Bid Is “An Evil to lße Tolerated : ] Editor's Note: This is the | fourth of a series of twenty | speeial articles written for the | Banner-Herald by Robert M. !

Says Education Today Is ‘Too Much a Mechanism ) Of Escape University Will Strive to - Remedy Lack of Leaders | i | In Teaching -COCHRAN; Ga.— (AP) —Chan cellor Philip Weltner in an address prepared for delivery before a dis trict high school conference here Thursday pledged the University System of Georgia to a program of local leadership development. He said it was a waste of money to give a student schooling which “did nothing to make him aware of the potentialities of his imme diate environment and if it did nothing to inculcate in him a sense of responsibility for developing his powers by promoting the welfare of his community.” He said education as practiced today *“is toco much a mechanism of escape,” tending as much or more to send the student away from his own country seeking his own place in life as to keep him; at home for the development of that pace. Is Shifting Emphasis As the first move toward carry ing out the program of local lead ership development, the chancellor said , the University System is shifting the emphasis from indi vidual service to community or ganization in its ' agrichltural and home economies extension ser vice. He cited the town of Ivanhoe in Bulloch county, as an example of the success of the new plan. “Our county agent serves there as the community’'s counsel,” he said. “The community does the job. A program of joint marketing was established by trucks on schedule time; a community ware house was built where produce is graded and’packed. A cannery and meat curing plant were set up. The agricultural program was di-‘; versified 'to support these commu- | nity enterprises. The social life ot‘ the community was enriched. A telephone system has been install ed. The community’s economic base has been broadened and given strength.. All we did was to en courage local initiative and enter prise. The demonstration at Ivan hoe has been duplicated with equal success at other points. i “If our lecal schools could be come community centers where work of this sort might be project ed the movement would take on state-wide proportions.” Not Equal to Task He said there was a lack of teachers equal to the task of build ing up such programs around their schools, and of local lay léadership to carry them on—a lack which the University system would strive to remedy. Such an effort, the chancellor said, is being carried out at the new Abraham Baldwin Agricultu ral college for farm boys and girls who plan to return to the farm. A fundamental part of the program there, he said, is development for local leadership, and instruction in the science of “rebuilding an agricultural civilization.” “The same note of local leader ship will be struck with increasing intensity in the aims and objec tives of all our institutions.” The normal schools, Waeltner said, will make a fundamental ob jective of preparing teachers for service in such a program of com munity development. | MOVIE PRODUCERS SIDE WITH ACTORS IN SALARY PROBE ' HOLLYWOOD.—(#)—Joseph. M. Schenck and Samuel Goldwyn, veteran film producers, took up the battle for the.actors and write ers of the film colony Thursday with the statement ‘“you can't make a crime out of earning ca pacity.” e | . “I'da rather pay an artist $250,008 if he earned it than $2,000 if he didi not,” said Goldwyn. i The alignment of the two pro lducers with the actors and writ ers came after representatives of (the film extras had joined in the‘ fight against the proposed motion picture .industry code.

Border Nations Tighten Their Defenses Against Possible Invasion ' (By the Associated Press.) A chain of steel almost com !pletely encircles Germany Thurs 'l(.lay—h:u-king with ecold metal the ’tm‘ms of treaties which bind her within her rambling borders. To stretch in almost any direc tion, the land of- Naziism would lhave to penetrate border defenses thrown up with increasing vigil ance since the war.

But Austria’s big-scale prepara tions for defense along the Austro- German line are more than match ed by those of which Belgium and France now boast.
