Record Is Imminent as Congress Has 18
Changes in Personnel Within 8 Months
. By CECIL B, DICKSON
Associated Press Staff Writer.
WASHINGTON.— (AP) — The
record set in the Seventy-first
congress for turnover of senate
and house seats through deaths
and resignations may fall in the
present—Seventy-third — congress
if the existing rate of changes
continue.
But eight mynths old and its
first regular session not starting
until January, already 18 men
elected to this congress have va
cated seats. Ten have died and
eight resigned.
The Seventy-first congress,
elected in 1928, established an all
time recard for changes. There
were 29 deaths, nine resignations,
and William 8. Vare, Pennsylva
nia senator-elect, was denied his
toga. Twenty-eight seats changed
in the war congress.
The Seventy-second congress,
which ended March 4, was runner
up, with shifts in 38 seats, 33
caused by deaths and five by res
ignations.
The death toll in those con
gresses and the present is attrib
uted by Dr. George W. Calver,
capitol .physician, to strenuous
work. Repeatedly he has warned
members against overwork.
In the present congress, with a
special session behind it, there are
now seven nouse and one senate
vacancies.
Senators who died were Thomas
J. Walsh of Montana, Robert B.
Howell of Nebraska, and Porter H.

Huge Order For Rails Seen

President Wins Fight
That Should Save

Advocated to Eastman i
> And Advisors :
e }
WASHINGTON —(AP)— Rail
road orders for around 800,000 tons
of steel rails were expected Tues
day by Washington officials as a
quick fellow-up to the administra
tion’s compreomise with the steel
chieftains upon a price lowered to
$36.37 1-2 a ton"
Sitting between Joseph B.
Eastman, federal coordinator of
transportation, and representatives
of the four major rail manufact
urers, the presideny Monday won
the agreement that is expected to
save the carriers around $7,000,000
within the next year or so:
The four companies recently of
fered to reduce their price from
around S4O a ton to a uniform fig
ure of $37.75. Eastman charged
there had been “collusion” and
maintained $35 a ton tould be a
fair price. :
A terse statement issued from
the White House gave this de-.
cription of the compromise:
‘ln the interest of getting people
to work in the heavy industry of
producing gteel rails, the President
proposed a price half way between,
or $36.75 a ton.
| “The price was accepted and the
coordinator will advise the admin
istrator of public works of this de
cision and of the actual tonnage
needs of the varioug railroads.” '
PLAN IS STUDIED L
WASHINGTON — (AP) — Big
savings through consolidated oper

centers are a basic claim of pro
ponents of the Prince plan for co
ordination of the nation’s carriers.
The. plan, estimated to save up
wards of three-quarters of a bil
lion dollars annually on the basis
of 1932 traffic, is one of those be

tederal coordinator of transporta
tion, who intends to make recom
mendations to Fresident Roosevelt
for legislation. The proposal was
first laid before the president last
winter by Frederick H. Prince,
Boston financier.
Briefly, Prince proposes that
railroads be grouped into seven
systems. Duplicated facilities
would be abandoned.

Cains Recorded in Con
struction Contracts and
Mill Reports
L
ATLANTA — (AP)— The vol
ume of both Metail and wholesale
trade in the sixth fecderal reserve
district showed increases in Sep
tember over previous months, said
the Monthly Review issued Tuess
day by the Atlanta Reserve bank.
Gaing also were recorded in con
struction contract awards and in
orders received by repcrting cotton
mills, There was some decline in
‘production and employment at tex
tile plants, and coal and iron out
put decreased.
Department store sales during
September were 3.6 per cent great
er than in August and 8.2 per cent
greater than in September 1932,
The Review showed. Because
September was two business days
shorters than August, however, the
dai'y average gain for September
amcunted to 11.6 per cent, al
though that figure was less than
the usual seasonal increase.
The gain in wholesale trade
from August to September was 5.9
psr cent and 14,7 per cent over
September, 1932.
Const}*uction contracts in the '
districg increased by 52.4 per cenl
from August to September. Resi
dential contracts declined 21.4 per
c¢ent but other classes of. awards
showed a gain of 83,6 per cent.
Production of both cloth and yarn
by cotton mills decreased but or
ders reported by thes mills increas
ed substantially. Employment at
reporting cotton mills fell off 3 per
'cent in September but was 55.8
per cent greater than in the same
Lwnth of 1932. :

this morning following the meet

last night in the Chamber o 1

Complaints against three Athens

which will be placed across the

do so. Wound stripes will be nar

Dean Caldwell Says
Law School Did Not
Promote Fake Murder
Dean Harmon Caldwell, of the
Laumpkin Law school of the Uni

that the fake “murder” pulled off
in town vyesterday by two law
school students, was not a part of
the law school work.
Dean Caldwell says that the law
school neither promoted the “stab
bing” nor knew anything of the
students’ plans. He says that it
'was part of the program of Sigma
Delta Kappa, legal fraternity at the
university. ;
and the races. Everyone carried
away with him the impression of
glittering ' glasses, whirring rou
lette wheels, the flip-flap of the

the clatter of the chuck:a-luck
cage.
Tragedy and comedy mingled,
sometimes in ironic proximity,
while the wheels continued to turn,
minds became foggy and fortunes
were pade and lost.
Eny..ainers came from all over
the world. Some were highly paid,
others worked for a grubstake—
but they all bent their efforts to
ward showing the Americano. a
good time, the while they cheer
fully took his money.
Tijuana has modern schools,
hospitals, civie improvements, good
roads—most things which the av
