BROOKLYN, N, ¥Y.—(AP)—The
government won its first criminal
prosecution for violation of an
NRA code Friday when the pro
prietors of Hercules Gasoline Fill
ing Statiomns, Ine., entered a guilty
plea in Brooklyn federal court.
The corporation’s head, David
Lind and Moe Levine, each were
fined SIOO by Federal Judge Clar
ence G. Galston, who also as
sesced a S2OO fine against their
coypn!"dtiOl’l.
The indictment, handed down
November 16, was the first re
turned by a grand jury anywhere
in the country for NRA code vio
lation. It charged nine violations
of the retail gasdline ccde.
The tctal fine assessed, it was
pointed out, might have been $13,-
500; for each day of code viola
tion constitutes a separate offense,
punishable by a $5600 fine. The in
dictment charged offenses for nine
days.
Judge Galston lightened the
penalty, he said, in consideration
of their plea and their statement
that they are now ready to con
form to conditions of the code.
Specific charges in the indict
ment were that the . corporation
worked its employes 66 hours a
week instead of the code maxXi
mum of 48, and that it failed te
post federal and state gasoline
taxes in its advertised gasoline
price figures. -
Six counts charged violation of
maxirium hour provisions of the
code, and three charged mislead

Georgia Bulldogs Ready
For Southern California
Battle In West Saturday
Sam Brown and John Bond
Expected to Start at
i Halfback Posts
CHAPMAN INJURED
Bulldogs Face Task of
Stopping Warburton,
| Trojan Ace
PASADENA, Calif—(AP)—Sam
Brown and John Bond look like
sure starters in the Georgia back
fleld against Southern California
at Los Angeles Saturday.
The work of the two halfbacks
was a feature of a three-hour
work-out at Tucson, Arizona,
Thursday before the Bulldogs pull
ed stakes to come here and rest
before the battle.
Homer Key and Cy Grant are in
fine shape but it is expected Coach
Harry Mehre will give Brown and
Bond the initial call in order to
hold Key and Grant in reserve.
Neither has shown the dash and
fire they worked up for the Geor
gia-Tech game last week-end.
Buck Chapman’s injured leg
tendons have not responded as
rapidly as Mehre had hoped and
he was held out of the Tucson
practices. Captain Graham Batch
elor was worked at fullback
Thursday, but it was considered
unlikely he would be used there
except in a last emergency.
The Lineup
A probable starting lineup in
cjudes Wagnon and Batchelor,
ds; West and Opper, tackles;
bhn Brown and Frank Johnson,
ds; McKnight, center; and a
ackfield composed of Minot, Bond,
am Brown and Griffin.
The Bulldogs bodrded the train
t Tucson Thursday after wit
ssing & game between Arizena
nd Whittier. i :
They remain here until time to
o to the big bowl in Los Angeles
‘here they meet the Trojans.
Coach Harry Mehre saw only
rouble ahead for his Bulldogs
yhen they meet the Trojans, hrw
ver.
“Frankly,” he said, “it. looks
ad for us. The Trojans have en
irely too much power and
eight.” i
Earlier Thursday the Georgia
coach said he was giving “serious
consideration” to an offer to be
come head coach at the University
of Texas.
Subsequently, V. I. Moore, mem
ber of the University of Texas
athletic council, declared at Aus
tin the council has not authorized
anyone to communicate with any
coach about coming to the univer
sity to succeed Clyde Littlefield,
present coach. :
BIG PROBLEM
LOS ANGELES.— (AP) — The
question of whether Georgia would
be able to stop Irvine Warburton,
‘Southern Calitornia’s welterweight
quarterback, predominated Friday
as the Trojans made final prepara
‘tions for their intersectional clash
with the Bulldogs at Memorial
Coliseum Saturday.
' Warburton, the fastest, shiftiest.
and probably quickest #hinkling
‘ball carrier Troy has had in years,
has been the difference between
defeat and victory for Coach How
ard Jones' team in its hard games.
Although a tie and one defeat
mar Southern California’s record,
Warburton has yet to be stopped.
If Georgia can do it, local fans
agree, then the Bulldogs have more
than an even chance of avenging
that 60 to defeat of two years
ago.
Warburton ran 43 yards to score
Troy's lone touchdown in the 13 to
7 defeat by Stanford. He ran 59
yvards to the winning touchdown
against California; broke up the

WILLIE BARRETT
ARRESTED AGAIN
Former Athenian Held on
Bad Check Charge; Has
Served Time Before
; Willie Barrett, formerly of Ath
ens, was arrested this morning by
ICo‘un'ty Officer McKinnon and City
Policeman Burpee on a charge of
passing bad chiecks, brought
against him by Charlie Williams
and Marvin Stone, filling station
operators.
Found in Barrett's pockets were
checks on twenty banks in Thom
son, Carrolton, .Macon, Gainesville,
Eatonton, ‘alton, Valdosta, Madi
son, ‘Americus, Elberton and other
towns. Aiso found were switch keys
of the S. A, L. railroad, and an
S. A, L. police badge, number 545,
which he was wearing. Barrett
signed his checks with the name
W. H. Carter, according to Police
Chief Seagraves.
Several yearg ago, Barrett served
a term here for cutting a Bypsy's
throat. Shortly after, he hit front
pages by surrendering himself for
a post-office robbery in Tennessee,
to compete the term the wrong
man had been serving.
When arrested on lower Han

NEW YORK. —(#)— Alfred E.

The former governor and presi

“Half way between a lemon and

Further on, he wrote:
“No one has yet described just
what a civil works project is ex
cept that it is some sort of minor
cpnstruction or repair work which
does not require the service of a
contractor, which can be finished
before January 15, when the

QUOTA COMPLETED
WASHINGTON —(#)—The civil
works administration announced
today that “approximately 1,250,-

payroll during the first week of
operation.
Reports to Harry L. Hopkins
from 44 states and the District of
Columbia were that¢ 1,183,267 were
employed as of November 25.
New Mexico, North Dakota, Mas
sachussets and Minnesota have
not reported, and Hopkins said
their reports probably will bring
the total to 1,250,000.
Oklahoma during the first week
completed its entire quota wunder
the program designed to give jobs
to 4,000,000, persons throughout the
country.
That state put 101,000 persons

said Friday there are no more jobs
for Oklahoma.

Board of Directors of Tax Payer’s
League Comments on Bond Election
The Board of Directors of the
Clarke County Taxpayers’ League
wish to make the following an
nouncement to its nearly 1,500
members:
After a two-months careful
study of the proposed bond issue
of SIOO,OOO, which will be voted on
December 2, 1933, we have deemed
it fit to state that we are opposed
to the bond issue for the follow
ing reasons:
1. The bonded indebtedness of
the City of Athens on January 1,
1633 was $811,900.00, with a sink
ing fund of $284,000.00. If the pro
posed $100,000.00 bonds are issued
we will have only $60,600.00 of
bond margin left to take care of
future emergencies.
2. We do not agree to the state
ment that the proposed $100,000.00
bond issue will not cost the tax
payers a penny because of the
simple fact that every municipal
bond issue that was ever paid has
been ultimately paid by the tax
payers.
3. If a sufficient saving each
vear in the city's expenditures
could be made to pay off this bond
issue it is still the tax-payer’s
money which is used to retire

ST. PAUL—(®)—Willie Sharkey,

himself with his mecktie in a cell

'Sharkey with three other mem

Roger Touhy, the leader, was re

For the second time in his varied
career of crime James (Fur) Same

public enemy, today faced the
prospect of spending the rest of
his days in prison.
The sentence was the state of
Indiana’s Thanksgiving day pres
ent to him, and unlike the first
time that Sammons went up for
life 30 years ago in Illinois after
escaping the gallows by a day for
a murder, it resulted from acom
paratively minor charge—attempt
ed bribary of an officer.
However, in convicting him of
that the jury also found him guilty
of being a habitual criminal, which
carries a mandatory life sentence
in Indiana.
Just before sentence was passed
Thursday night by Judge William
J. Murray in circuit court while
deputy. sheriff armed with shot
guns and machine guns guarded
the corridors and outside of the
courthouse, Sammons asked to bhe
heard.
“If I'm sent up for life, it will
be because the witnesses have lied
me to prison,” he said.

GAINESVILLE, Ga.—The pow

ed the Athens High Maroons their
first defeat of the season here
‘Thursday afternoon by the slim
‘margin of one touchdown, 6 to 0.
- From the start the Gainesville
eleven looked better than the Ma

played by the visiting eleven made
the game close and one of the
best that football fans have wit

these two football elevens and both

were just a little bit too strong for
their opponents,
Gainesgville’s score came after
the first quarter was about half

score, most of the playing was
done in the visitors' territory, and
Gainesville finally took the ball on
Athens’ 34-yard line. On the next
