Opening Thrust Gives
Georgia Victory Over

Key's Aerial Heave to

GCEORGIA OUTPLAYED
Both Teams Play Great

Associated Press Sports Woriter.
ATLANTA, Ga.— (AP) — One
¢parkling aerial thrust, as brilliant
45 the setting for their traditional
gridiron duel, brought Georgia a
hurd-earned 7 toi 8 victory over
Georgia Tech here Saturday be
fore 35,000 wildly cheering specta-
One of the largest crowds in
southern football history looked
on as the Athens Bulldogs scored
on a surprising first period pass
from deep ‘in their own territory,
a forward from Key to Grant
which gained 80 yards.
The Engineers came back in the
<econd period to ' score on & 45-
yard drive, interspersed with two
fine tosses, but the chance to
equal the extra point made by Cy
Grant of Georgia failed as Roberts
fumbled the ball,
Georgia Tech contributed one of
the gamest finishes seen on Grant
field in vears by advancing 95
vards, only to see their hopes
shattered as Dave Wilcox’s try
for a field goal went wild.
Few games in the forty years
of rivalry have brought as many
thrills as did Satrday’s battle. And
seldom have their yearly struggles,
surrounded by as much color and
history and background as any
other southern series, been played
before such an audience as jam
med Grant field.
Long hefore game time the big
U-shaped stadium was filled, hun
dreds were standing in the aisles,
the bleachers were full. Governor
Talmadge and other state notables,
along with members of the 1893
teams of both schools, were in
President M. L. Brittain’s box.
A slightly (;%9}9_ _wind blew over
the field apd the Sun shoné out of
4 blue sky—unusually fine weath
er for this game that in recent
vears has been played in rough or
wet weather. ;
The game was hardly five min
utes old when Georgia scored and
kicked the point that was to bring
victory. With first down on their
own 20-yard line, Homer Key, a 5-
foot, 5-inech, 144-pound mite from
Columbus, Ga., dropped back, ran
4 few yards to the left then leap
ed into the air and tossed a 10-
vard pads over the line to Cy
Grant, the Cornelia speedster.
Wink Davis, + FPech halfback,
reached for Grant as he took the
pass but the Georgian slipped
away and was off. He outmaneuv
ered another Tech tackler in mid
field and had a clear field ahead as
he raced along the sidelines but
Jack Phillips, the big Tech full
hack, was cutting across the field
toward him and gaining.
Phillips was just two steps be
hind as they tore past the 30.
Grant, straining every muscle for
speed, glanced back over his shoul
der and put on an added burst of
power to wriggle away as Phillips
made his diving bid on the 10.
Grant made good the place kick

Senator Tom Connally, conduct
ing the investigation at New Or
leans of Huey Long’s political
group, wanted to know Saturiay
where money for those who were
out of office came from, if the onres
who were in got their campaign
furds from their political salaries.
LOUISIANAN ADMITS
JOBS WERE BOUGHT
Elections Probers Told
That Office Holders Had
To “"Cash-in’:
NEW ORLEANS. —(#)— Testi
mony that Seymour Weiss, treas
urer of Huey P. Long's political
organization, had given him from
SIO,OOO to $12,000 to run his cam
paign for public service commis
sioner was made Saturday =by
Wade O. Martin, who ran on the
same ticket with Senator John H.
Overton, before the senate sub
committee investigating the Over
ton election.
He said campaign funds were
raised by calling on jobholders to
contribute and tha¢ practice had
been used before, during and after
Overnton’'s election.
“Sometimes it was ten per cent,
gometimes five per cent and some
times no special amount was men-
tioned,” he said. ]
He said the contributions were
voluntary but that as far as he
himself was concerned if any em
ploye refused to contribute he
would fire him. Contributions by
jobholders, he said, should be re
garded in the light of insurance to
protect the job just as life and fire
insurance.
-“A11 of them get money from
their foliéwers -and jobholders,” he
said. -
“Both sides do it. There are tw”
major political parties in T.ouidi
ana, the ‘ins’ and ‘auts’.”
“But the ‘outs’ don’t get cam
paign funds from the public treas
ury."-said Chairman Tom Connally
(D., Texas.) -t .
, “The ‘ins’ don’t either,” said the
witness. “It comes out of our
lbockets after we get paid.”
Mr. Martin said he was respon
sible for the use of dummy ecan
didates in his. district and Mr.
Overton had mnothing to do with
them. But he agreed with Sena
‘tor Elbert Thomas (D Utah) that
the election' commissioners chosen
ithrough the used of Martin dum
mies were pro-Overton.
He said his opponent used dum
mies and he was *forced to use
them for self prosection but_he did
not~ believe in the dummy device
and thought a latw should be pass
ed to prevent it. His dummies,
he said, were chosen by Harvey
Peltier, co-manager of tfie Over
ton campaign.

ter forcibly seizing the victims
from guards escorting them from
Matanzas to Santa Clara. \
Matanzas residents inclined to

The decision was handed down

President Has Leaders of
Financial and Recovery
Programs With Him
By FRANCIS M. STEPHENSON 1
(Associated Press 3taff Writer) |
WARM SPRINGS, Ga. —(AP)—
President = Roosevelt . Saturday
night ordered Ambassador William
C. Bullitt to proceed at once to
Russia to establish the new rela
tions with the Soviey government.
Necessity for finding adequate
housing and .other embassy facili
ties was given by the president as
the reason for sending Mr. Bullitt
on the immediate mission to Mos
cow.
The ambassador left Warm |
Springs—to sail Wednesday——with’
orders to returr ‘as soon as prac
ticable to report on the problem of
the permanent establishment ot
the embassy and consulates and
to organize the staff.
This action, announced late Sat
urday, was all that was forthcom
ing from the presidential vacation
retreat despite the array of finan:
cial and recovery leaders here.
To all appearances the president
gave no other serioug attention to
govermment? pusiness on this Sat
urday. Sunday, Secretary Ickes,
the publc works #dministrakor,
arrives.
And, thus, today Mr. Roosevelt
has with him the leaders of the
recovery and f{nancial program. It
offers ample opportunity for a
thorough checkup on the domestic{
situation, including the complex
commodity dollar monetary ~ pro
gram, and to all appearances the
president is well satisfied with the
trend of events. There is no sign
of a joint conference, v
Henry Morgenthau, jr., the act
ing seeretary of the treasury; Gen
eral Hugh 8. Johnson, the NRA
administrator; Edward McGrady,
assistant secretary of labor were
here Saturday with Mr. Bullitt.
The 'later was the only one who
got in. a real husiness conference.
Some are inclined to attach
significance to the stay of John
Raskob here just at the time of the
outburst of his friend Alfred E.
Smith against, the administration
monetary policy and at a time
{when acting Secretary Morgenthau
is here but there is no inkling that
the president is talking financc
with him.

monetary program Saturday with |
a direct challenge to critics of the

Borah's challenge was made in a
formal statement directed at Al

It was the high spot of another

NEWEST PREMIER OF
FRANCE IN TURMEN
£¢Herriot's Return in De-
L cember Seen as Clamor
' For Security Mounts
PARIS. —(AP)—Premier~Desig
nate Camille Chautemps started
forming a “erisis cabinet” Satur-,
day night in the face of a mount
ing clamor for the rescue of the
franc from perils of ~an ‘unbal
anced budget and dwindling ‘gold
reserves. A : .
As ‘the second choice of Presi
dent Albert Lebrun, the veteran
lawyer, legislator, ~and minister
was seeking a ministry that would
Jast until the veteran Edouard
Herriot would . again be ready to
take the helm.
Chautemp's " cabinet, he said,
would be dedicated to a program
of public safety ta home and nat
jonal security abroad.”.
Political forecasters had already
‘set Chautemp’'s ~ministerial fun
‘eral for . December 17 so that M.
'Herriot, whose governmen? fell
last December on his advocacy of
a war debt payment to the United
'States, could avoid another debt
default—an extremely embarrass
ing point to Herriot.
In the meantime, wranglings in
his radical socialist party over
portfolios and opposition to new
taxes complicated the task of the
master politician of six previous
| cabinets.
President Lebrun offered the
cabinet forming job to Chautemps
after a series of consultations with
political leaders and the refusal of
M. Herriot -to assume the worry
some task. - . .~ ;
Herriot, it was understood, was
tendered the opportunity as some
