Story of Recent Break
With Talmadge
NO POLITICAL COUP
Says He Could Not Stay
On as Chairman and
Keep Self-Respect
ATLANTA—(P)—Differences be
tween himself and Governor Tal
madge have been given by J. J.
Mangham of Bremen as his reason
for his sudden Tresignation this
week as chairman of the state
highway hoard.
“I could not continue as chair
man of the highway board and re
tain my self-respect and the re- |
spect of my fellow citizens,”
Mangham sald in a statement is
sued here Thursday night.
Mangham said he supported |
Talmadge and his policies “just as‘l
long as T could conscientiously |
justify my actions, and charged!
thay the governor. who appoinrtedi
him to the echairmanship, made
“numerous and in many cases un
reasonable” requests of &Lim.
The former highway (-huirmuni
indicated thay he probably would
have something to wadd to hlsi
statement later.
A Long Story I[
“There are many details I)egin-i
ning back and leading up to this'
time, all of which have been gelf
ish in their nature, advanced by
selfish interests of the governor
and friends es the gowvernor look- !
ing for special favors and findinzp
their wav to the gorernor's ear,”
Mangham said, ecommenting on a
published repory of a heated con
iroversy between him and thn‘
governor at a hotel here last]
Monday night, the day before he'
handed in hig Tesignation.
“These were combined with alll
the gossip of material dealers and
contractors who could not getl
special favors from the chairman
of the highway board,” his state
ment went on, and he expressed
regret over the “differences be
tween the governor and myself
ending long and pleasant friend
ship and affection.” |
Manghum said he offered hisl
resignation during a discussion ot]
the postpcnement of a letting of |
approximately $1,250.000 worth of |
road contracts from November 24i
‘to Decemhber 7, which he ‘said was |
due to a misunderstanding ovor"
requirements- of the federal gov
ernment for advertising the pro-i
jects, |
“Addressing himself to me."”
Mangham said, “the governor said
‘What will the highway board give
me for Tom Linder (the governor’s
executive secretary) to come over
and tell you what to do?"
“T simply stated that if Mr.
Linder was a legal resident of
Fulton county which is in the
northern district that he appoint
Mr. Linder on January 1 and re
lieve me.

“The next morning the governor |

lEntare Georgia Squad to

By GUY TILLER
The University of Georgia and
Georgia Tech resume their annual

i row with both teams in rather
lpoor condition for the battle.
[ The entire Georgia squad, in
cluding the “Red Devils”, will be
f| taken on the Tech trip, and Coach
‘ Harry Mehre may have occasion

n‘ varsity squad. Immediately after

‘ Trojans at I.os Angeles December
{S. Coach Mehre has not yet de
’(‘ided which players will continue

the two teams, Georgia is the fa
“ vorite, but injuries to several ol‘
the Bulldog aces makes the out
come very much in doubt, Teeh‘

;/but no team has defeated the
Jackets by more than one touch

point, Vanderbilt on a fluke pass, |
Tulane on Bucky Bryan's 101 yar(;l
excursion, and Alabama barely

as follows: (1) Leroy Moorehead.'

Georgia Hall Presentation

President Will Receive
~ Gift for Warm Springs
| Foundation
WARM SPRINGS, Ga.—(AP)—
Georgians Friday night will pre- |
sent their SIOO,OOO contribution to
President Roosevelt's Warm
Springs Foundation—a handsome
brick structure, Georgia Hall. ,
The building was erected with
funds contributed by thousands of
residents of the President’s “other
state.” It will house the adminis
tration offices, recreation facilities
and dining room.
Friday night's presentation will
come during a banquet honoring
the President. The dinner will be
given in the Georgia Hall dining
room. About 300 are expecte.d in
cluding Senators George and Rus
sell, congressmen, chairmen of thel
county campaign . committees and |
other notables.
President Roosevelt will speak
but he considers the affair an in—‘
timate one between his Georgiai
friends and himself and it is un-;
likely national affairs will be dis-l
cussed in his address. The Presi- |
‘dent is head of the Warm Springst
Foundation where treatment is
given for the after, effects of in
fantile paralysis.” * =
The President’s remarks are to
be broadcast over national net
works of NBC and CBS beginning |
at 9:30 p. m., central standard |
time.
Mr. Roosevelt Friday moved
resolutely ahead with his dollar
devaluation program in conferenca
with Acting Secretary Morgen
thau. |
This was accepted here as his
answer to the critics who have
demanded a return to the previous
monetary order and a campaign |
against the gold contro: effort. !
The care-free President on va- |
cation here also considered other |
government ~ business Friday in a!
meeting with General Hugh S.
Johnson, his administrator of the
national recovery act.
But if there was anything morei
than a checkup on the progress of |
events in the treasury and indus- |
trial recovery units it was not|
even slightly indicated here. |
Mr. and Mrs. Morgenthau and'
General Johnson travelled here
from Atlanta unheralded at the}
“little white house” 'by any signs |
of new moves or changed policies.
The President continued his va-l
cation routine with a plunge in
the warm waters of the pool be
fore their arrival and his aides in
sisted that there was little in the
wind to watch for after their
meetings with the Chief Execu-i
tive. !

l B e
{, Acsociated Press Staff Writer
l ATLANTA, —(#P)— Labor Chief
benefactor under the National Re
covery Act Friday had it straight
from Hugh S. Johnson, NRA ad
ministrator, that there will be no
universal wage scale.
Speaking before some 3,600 per
sons at tne city auditorium here
Thursday night, Johnson said there
would be worked out a formula be-}
{tween northern labor’ys extreme of
a national scale of pay anua south
ern indusrialis demand for a 30
per cent difrerential wh}ch would
mean the greatest good/attainable
;lor the whole country.
i He gaid emphatically workers in
the South would not receive wages
30 per cent lower than labor in the
| North,
Predicts New Upturn
Johnson predicted a new indus
trial upturn with the declaration
lthat business is on the verge of
another forward surge.”
“The full flood of the president's
program has mnot - yet struck the
country X x % but it will soon be
here,” he €aid,- “On any analysis,
the president's policies have lifted |
the country 25 per cent out of the
depths of.this depression.”
PTurning to critics of the admin
stration’s program, the recovery
chieftain said “the self-serving at
tacks on NRA hav failed,
“Pwenty-five per cent recovery
from a small depression may not
be much but 25 per cent recovery by
a deleberate plan in a few months
from the wreck of an entire econo
mic system is a seventh wonder of
the world. !
“An& ‘for this relief much
,th:mks' from 95 per cent of the
lAmerican people but—from the
leaders, guides and scouts of the
old road to ruin—what?
“Strident clamoring—a few little
men with loud wvoices frantically
waving puny red flags of false
and furtile warning in the path of
the resistless advance of a great
people—l2s,ooo,ooo strong X, X.
Corporals of Disaster
“Away slight men'! you may have

Johnson left early Friday by plane
for Warm Springs with 22 codes

through Saturday. Included in thn'
codes were thoge affecting radio

Dr. Wynekoop Thought
Girl Was Dead From

Husband of Slain Woman
Begs Mother to Tell
The Truth =
CHICAGO.—(AP)-—The confes
sion of Dr, Alice Lindsay Wyne
koop that she fired a bullet into
the heart of her daughter-inslaw,
Rheta, while the girl was uncon
scious was announced Friday aft
ernoon by Captain John Stege.
Breaking aown at last after
nearly three days of exhausting
examination, the 62-year-old wo
man physician acknowledged that
she had administered chloroform
to her son's 23-year-old wife, in
examining her for a pelvic pain of
which the girl had complained. =
She had gone to her surgical,
office in the basement of her Mon-"
roe street house last Tuesday aft
c¢rnoon to find Rheta partly un
dressed, weighing herself.
Placed On Table
Rheta. complained of severe
pains, Dr, Wynekoop said, and she
placed the young woman on her"
| operating table and began to ad=-
minister chlorororm o ease the
pain and facilitate examination.
Dr. Wynekoop told Capt. Stege
| she kept asking Rheta if she could
feel the pain and that her daugh
.ter-in-]aw continued to answer af
| firmatively. Finally, the physician
‘explained.,Rheu. los¢ conscious
iness and for 26 minutes she tried
strenuousgly to revive her. )
] ‘When she realized she was
losing ground, Dr. Alice said, she
!becume panic stricken.
l “All the events of my life flash
|ed through my mind,” Dr. Wyne
koop was quoted, “and I thought
of a pistol in an adjoining room.”
Fearful of blame for killing the
girl with the anaesthetio, she said
she obtained the pistol and, hold.
ing it five inches from the bare
back of the unconscious girl, fired
a single shot. That shot penetrated
jthe shoulder blade and passed
ithrough Rheta's heart.
Capt. Stege placed the time of
the killing, between 2:30 and 3 p.
m., (central standard time) Tuese
jday, at a time when Dr. Wynekoop
| had said prevoiusly she ‘was abe
sent from the 16 room mansion.
“She has confessed she did it”»
the Lieut. Ottp Erlandson asserte
ed, in a brief announcement which
came after her spn FEarle had
pleade with her to cenfess if she
ldid it. She had told him not te
| worry as she had not slain hig
*wifo.
The confession was reported te
‘havo come from the elderly woms
lan physician after a verbal slip
