SEIZURE OF BEER
- UPHELD BY COURT
'Was Taken by Officers
! Shortly After Brew Be
! came Legal Outside State
ATLANTA, Ga—(AP)—Legality
of the seizure of a shipment of
beer in Marietta, Ga., shortly after
the brew became legal lin some
states but not in dry Georgia, was
upheld Saturday by the State Su
preme court.
i The high court affirmed the ac
‘tion of Judge J. H. Hawkins of
the Blue Ridge Circuit in refusing
to grant an injunction restraining
Solicitor General H. G. Vandi
viere and Sheriff E. M. Legg of
Cobb county from confiscating the
‘beer.
t Glenn W. Marler and Harry
Gordon sought the injunction,
saying the beer was in interstate
commerce. -
Judge Hawkins refused the in
junction, saying the evidence
showed the property was in this'
state for local distribution at the
time of the seizure and was not
the subject of interstate commerce,
‘The judge said testimony was of
fered that a bucket of iced, bot
tled beer was found in the truck,
and that the ice to fill the beer
was bought in Cobb county. | ‘
The plaintiffs contended the
beer was enroute to Florida from
Ohio and Kentucky. ¢
Chief Justice Russell and Jus
tice Afkinson dissented, but did
not write a dissenting opinion,
merely indicating their disagree
ment with the opinion of the ma
jority of the court at the bottom
of the decision.

Athens Girl, 11 Years Old, Has Not

By JACK BRASWELL
Sunday school is no bore to
Maude Virginia Wendlinger, who
for ten of her eleven years has not
missed a single attendance in over
500 'consecutive Sunaays. The slight
blond daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Emil Wendlinger of Athens has
maintained her perfect attendance
record despite measles, whooping
cough, bad weather and absence
from her home town. i
This young lady has met with her
class under many unusual and dif

ago Virginia was ill with measles
and was unable to meet her class;
therefore, she requested that the
Sunday schoo] teacher come to her
home and conduct the class there.
The children gathered around the
door to the room in which she was

TRADE THREATENED
BY FRENCH DUTIES
ON FARM PRODUCTS
U. S. Holds Aloof From
Any Formal Liquor
Quota Agreement
PACT IS ENDANGERED
French Reported Ready to
Make Concessions,
Now Awaited
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON f—('A.P) — The
United State held aloof Saturday
night from any formal agreement
with France on liquor quotas until
it had learned the extent of con
cessions reported to have heen
made by the French government in.
its American agricultural produect
tariff rates. 2 i
Previous word that the French
minister bf agriculture intended to:
announce substantia] increases in
tariffs on American apples, pears
and lard were viewed as definitely
threatening consummation of the
compact for an icreased wine
farm product trade between the
two nations.
The French concessions will be
subjected to the scrutiny of the
American committtee of two which
drew up the original four-months
liquor import quota figures. While
diplomatic ‘negotiations normally
are conducted through the state
department, the liguor import
question has been rest to represen
tatives of the agricultural adjust
ment administration and the new
ly formed federal aicohol control
administration.
Acting Secretary of State Phill.
ips, even before word of the French
concessiong was received, said no
final settlement would be made
until the tariff question was clear-
ed away. '
. The situation was further con
fused by the fact that federal alco
hol control administration Friday
announced that an accord had been
reached which would result in a
“substantial increase” above the
four-months import quota for
French wmeg. e
In light of developments Satur
day, this accord apparently had
not reached the s:gnature stage
when the French tariff complica
tions arose to endanger the agree
ment. ¢
With this lacking, it was point
ed out that it would be simple for
the United States to withdraw
from the negotiations at this e
should the threat materialize g
