Farm Strike Situation Is Growing Tense
Six States To Decide Fate

ONLY THREE ARE

Defeat of Prohibition
Conceded By Even Most
Ardent Drys.
(By the Associated Press.)
Six states decide Tuesday
whether prohibition shall be ex
punged from the federal constitu
tion the first week in December.
The Roosevelt administration
confidently believes it will, Post
master General Farley predicting
in New York that “this great vic
tory . . » will be completed Tues
day.”
But Mrs. Henry W. Peabody,
chairman of the Woman’s Nat
ional Committee for Law Enforce
ment, asserted that the women
“can, if they will, go to the polls
and vote against repeal.”
The states balloting are Penn
sylvania, Ohio, North and South
Carolina, Utah and ' Kentucky.
Only three need to elect a majority
of anti-prohibition delegates to
state conventions set for December
—33 states already have voted
Other questions, too, will be
considered. New York and New
Jersey elect members to the state
assemblies, now controlled by Re
publicans. New York city' chooses
a mayor, one of whom has Farley’s
2 mayor, one of whom has Farley’s
personal endorsement.
Virginia eleects a governor and a
United States senator; Kentucky
members of the legislature; Ohio
considers state repeal and old asel
pensions; Pennsylvania unemploy-’
ment relief. |
party lines were split in the
Boston and ~Cleveland mayoral
elections, like that in New York
city.
Meanwhile, with repeal of pro
hibition accepted throughout the!
nation as a foregone conclusion,
analysts and federal experts Mon
day were busy studying its possi
ble effects on the government’s in
come,
Bootleg Danger
Government statisticians calcu
late that unless congressional tax
experts pared down sharply the
§700,000,000 they estimated shou’d
be collected from liquor, wine and
beer taxes the first year following
repeal, it would be difficult to
keep levies low enough to prevent
a continuation of bootlegging.
Their opinions are based on a
tariff commission compliation of
alcoholic beverage statistics dating
back to 1960, just made public,
showing the highest revenue ever
obtained ‘from distilled spirits,
wine and beer was $483,000,000 in
1919, the yeav before national pro
hibition. \
The internal revenue taxes that
year were $2.20 a gallon on dis
tilled spirits and wine and $6 a
barrel on beet.
Consumption in 1919 for all three
kinds of liguors, the report shows,
was 991,000,000 gallons, only about
half that of the war years and the
cight years preceding, but levies
in the earlier years were lower.
The highest consumption was 2,-

MAYORAL CAMPAIGN
IN NEW YORK ENDS
Three Leading Candidates
Claim Victory in Elec
tion Tuesday.
By B. L. LIVINGSTONE
NEW YORK — (&) — The New
York city Mayoral campaign closed
Monday after an uproarious three
cornered race fought out amid the
uncertainties of mnational political
cross currents and the confusion of
tangled party allegiances.
A banker, a Tammany politician
and the son of an immigrant Ital
ijan bandmaster are the principals.
Tuesday, some 2,300,000 voters
choose among Joseph McKee, In
dependent Demoerat running on
the ticket of the “recovery party;”
Mayor John P. O'Brien, tic regu
lar Democratic nominee; and for
mer Representative Fiorello H. La-
Guardia, Progressive Republican
on the Fusion tieket.
All three candidates laid claim to
victory. LaGuardia said he would
win by a 650,000 plurality. Mayor
O’Brien put his margin of victory
at 499,000 while McKee predicted
his election by 380,000 votes.
Not since John Purroy Mitchel
won over Murphy's Tammany ma
chine in 1924 hag the wigwam of
the sachems been under such
searching fire. “Bossism” and eco
nomy” have again sounded as the
rallying cries of Tammany’s foes,
JA. national complexion was given
the local fight by McKee’s espousal
of President Roosevelt’s name and
lPostmaster General Farley's per
‘sonal endorsement of the recovery
fcandidate.
While the White House has re
mained aloof, the campaign de
veloped the underlying issue’ of ad
ministration retaliation against
Tammany for its support of Alfred
E. Smith in the Chicago conven
tion.
Smith himself broke a precedent
of 16 years when he refused to sup
port Tammany from the platform
this year. Politically, Al has been
“out of town” since the fight be
gan.

CITY BUSSES CHANGE
ROUTE; TO ELIMINATE
WASHINGTON STREET
Athenians who came to town
early this morning were surprised
to see city busses driving down
College avenue in front of the
Palace and turning to the left
down Clayton street.
~ The change went into effect to
day, and was brought about by @
petition signed by merchaints on
Clayton street asking that the
route be changed. Instead of go
iing down Washington street t¢
Thomas, the busses now run down
College avenue to Clayton streel
where they turn left and drive to
Thomas street.
In explaining the change, offici
als of the bus company explained
that the number of stores on
Clayton street outnumbered those
on Washington street, and bus
riders were forced to walk one
block—sometimes further—to reach
their destination.
Thanksgiving Comes
Ahead Of Time For
One Athens Family
Eight people in Athens today
are celebrating Thanksgiving three
!weeks in advance, Jast week
their home was being taken away
from them—today it’s{ theirs for
keeps.
The characters in this true life
story are Mr, and Mrs. D. C.
Rhodeheaver and their six .chil
dren who live on Barrett street.
Mr. Rhodeheaver is a war veter
an, disabled, sick, and unable to
work. When compensation was
cut, he couldn’t keen up the pay
ments on the little home he'd
bought, The mortgage company
arinounced the house for sale No
vember 7. Things looked dark. None
of the children was old enough to
work—neither Mr. Rhodeheaver or
his wife was able to work. KEv
lerything had depended on that
compensation money and nmow that
hed had been cut, there was no
where for them to live.
In despair, he went to see Fed
|eral clerk Vane Hawkins also a
war veteran. After negotiations
[with the mortgage company fail
|ed to bring any, results, they dec
cide@ to try the Home Loan com
pany. The' time was short and
something had to be done immedi
ately.
“It's a slim chance,” Mr. Haw
kins told the veteran, “but we'll
trry it.”
A wire was sent to Washington

Home Loan offices. Mr. Holden
dropped everything and got in
touch with Judge J. D. Bradwel
of Athens. Both these men work

Mr. Rhodeheaver's home.
Today finally negotiations were

In making the announcement ot
roll call plans, Professor H. M.
Heckman, local chairman, has call
ed for a complete response on the
part of the public. “Citizens must
not be confused in thinking that
Federal relief work will take the
burden off the community. Unem

health, juniors, volunteers.”
Memberships are designated as
follows: Annual, $1.00; Contribut
ing, $5.00; Sustaining, $10.00; and
Supporting, $25.00. In urging en
|rollment, Professor Heckman calls
attention to the enormity of Red
Cross operations during the lasi
three yearg. “The economic emer
gency has constituted a steady
drain upon our resources. Never
in more than 52 years of service
by the American Red Cross have
human needs been more acute, the
wgrk of the Red Cross heavier
or the call for memberships more
urgent. I know that our. people
will respond generously.”

WASHINGTON.—(AP)—Wheth
er diplomatic recognition alone
shall dominate Russo-American
conversations, leaving other issues
for later consideration, was thrust
forward as a question Monday on
the eve of Maxim Litvinoff's ar
rival in the United States.
The Soviet commissar of foreign
affairs and his government have
maintained a strict silence on
their attitude since President
Roosevelt's invitation to explore
relations.
But past Soviet policies indicat
ed Litvinoff would prefer to have
this week's conversations deal al
most entirely with the establish
ment of normal relations.
Such a course would leave to
future discussions debts, claims,
credits and trade relations., In
formed quarters said this had
been Russia’s policy in establish
ing diplomatic reltaions with other
countries.
- President Roosevelt has kept his
own counsel on procedure. But in
his note to Mikhail Kalinin, Sov
iet president, Mr. Roosevelt invit
ed a representative “to explore
with me personally all questions
outstanding between our coun
tries.”
