Completion Of Airport
Is Now Likely Under
~ Fund Granted By CWA
Commissioners Approve
Application for Civil
- Works Crant
ONE OF THREE CITIES
Cost of Developing and
Completing Field Is
Estimated at $22,000
e e \
Approval of the application for
funds to complete the airport here
to be secured from the Civil Works
administration was given by the
Board of County Commissioners in
meeting Tuesday. ;
G. Liazer appeared before the
commissioners, representing Wil
liam F. Cummings, special repre-§
sentative of the CWA in Atlanta,
)
who has charge of the' funds set
aside Dby the administration fox“
the express purpose of developing
airports. Mr. Liazer said that
Athens, Brunswick and LaGrange
had been chosen as the three
ipl.'ices where an airport was most
‘desirable -and he Said that he
beileved ihe mcncy could be se-]
cured easily. A grant of $50,000
has already been .made for the
Brunswick field.
In executive council, the com
missioners instructed County kKn
gineer Homer Nicholson to esti
mate the’/cost of g¢eveloping the
field and prepare the application.
v'l'he cost ‘was estimated at $22,000,
the application was filed this
morning with the local CWA office,
and taken to Atlanta by Mr.
Liazer. 2
It is believed that, should the
project be approved, a number of
workers, in addition to Clarke
county’s regular quota, which is
already full, will be employed. The
work consists primarily in grading
and filling, Mr. Nicholson said.
Postmaster Paul Smith appeared
before the commissioners Tuesday
with a petition signed by dwellers !
on the Tallassee road requésTfing[
that an underpass replace the'i
grade crossing a short distance
from Athens, where the road andl
the S. A. L. tracks meet. It was
pointed out that this crossing is a‘
dangerous one, and that school
busses must pass over it several]
times a day. |
A similar petition, it was said,
had been sent the S. A. L. oifi
ces wherc it had been approved,
and cooperation promised. The is
sue was raised by Mr. Elder, who
lives on the road, who said that
he preferred an overhead bridge, as
an underpass would prevent easy
access to his land near the tracks.
In executive sesSsion it was de
cided to ask CWA funds to elimi
nate the grade crossing, the man
ner to be determined later. '
It was announced at this meet
ing that Henry Frech, jr., Savan
nah, will begin his internship at
the General hospital on June 15,
and that liability insurance will be
cancelled after January 1 at the
hospital.
The road leading form the Jef
ferson road to the Athens Country
club house will be top-soiled, the
commissioners = decided, provided
the club furnishes the soil.

MERGING NAVY AND
COAST GUARD UNITS
WASHINGTON, — () — Presi
dent Roosevelt is seriously consid
ering a consolidation of the.navy
and the coast guard, but in any
event he will continue thg latter
service as an agency for the treas
ury department to combat smug
ging.
If uniffication is brough¢ about
the president intends to establish
the coast guard as a corps in the
navy but under the digection of its
own officers.
The purpose of such a step, it
was explained Wednesday at the
white house, is primarily for eco
nomy,
The preseident regards the coast
guard as an agency of the treasury
to deal with smugglers and coast
protection and he would be loath
to alter these definite assignments,
Under plans now being made by
the President, coast guard officers
would be chosen from -the naval
academy as is the case withsmarine
officers.
In this event, the regular coast
guard academy at New London,
Conn., woud be made a post-grad
uate college for the navy, marine
corps and the coast guard.
It was emphasized at the white
house, however, that a final deter
mination on the whole consolida
tion proposal has not been reached.
WA CHIEF “READY
T 0 IGNORE GEORGIA
Hopkins Sends Talmadge
Word That He Is Will
ing to Withdraw Funds
ATLANTA, —(#)— Civil Works
Administrator Harry Hopkins has
offered to withdraw support from
rural Georgia if the CWA work
was -endangering farm labor as
charged by Governor Talmadge.
Hopkins wired Ronald Ran
som, Georgia adwministrator Tues
day night he was ready to halt
the work at once. His communica
tion drew from Governor Talmadge
the statement that the workers
would all go to town and get a job
if he did,
“Those on CWA rolls in the
country would come to town and
get a job, wouldn’t they?”’ the gov«
ernor queried.
“That's the hell of it.”
The offer to withdraw came from
Hopkins following a verbal ex
change with the governor, which
resuted from Tamadge's published
criticism of the CWA wage scale.
The governor’s statement ‘that
farmers and other lines of private
business in the state would find
difficulty in obtaining labor next
spring if the civil works wage
scale is maintained, drew a reply
from the CWA chief in Washington
that “all that guy (Talmadge) is
after is headlines.”
To Hopking explanation that the

“It is for us of the faculty to

ample a pledge of renewed faith
and courage that this institution
which has so lopg served its state
shall be of even greater service
and shall be in fact gne of the
greatest universities of our na
tion.”
Dr. Sanford reviewed step by

-Iflce'int routine of the public works
administration and expressed con
fidence in the government's ef
forts to secure economic recovery
by this means.

Reports Say B. H. Duna
way Will Be Replaced as
Superintendent
ATLANTA, Ga—(AP)—Publish
ed reports Wednesday say that
Superintendent B. H. Dunaway of
the state p’rison farm at Milledge
ville will be replaced in a person
nel shake-up three January 1.
The Constitution says Rollie
Lawrehce, Baldwin county deputy
’sherlff. will replace Dunaway, and
that Warden W. R. Proctor will
trade jobs with W. W. Beard,
‘now in charge of the prison tuber
cular hospital. i
Governor Talmadge disclosed
that plans for the changes had
been reported to him, although
Prison Commissioner Vivian Stan
ley said no formal action had
been taken. Chairman E. L. Rai
ney of the commission would not
comment, except to say announce
ment would be forthcoming short
ly of the prison executive person
nel for 1934.
Plans are under consideration,
the Constitution says, ‘to find a
place” for Dunwaay at the new
$1,500,000 prison to be constructed
with federal funds in Tattnall
county, bu; that nothing detznlte‘
has been decided upon. y
In a telephone conversation
Dunaway said he had heard noth
ing official but that hed had heard
reports of the plans to make the
changes. He described La.wrence,f
former field rider at the prison, as
a “splendid man.” Dunaway has.
been connected with the state
prison system 12 years. |
The Constitution says “the
changes at Milledgeville are said
to be resulting from a number of'
things, important among them re
cent escapes, although it is known
that the assault uypon Judge Dun
away by two returning escaped
convicts last week had nothing to
do with the shakeup as it al
ready had been arranged before
the latest break.”

SURVEYS UNDERWAY
Experiment Between Ma
con and Atlanta to
Serve as Model
~ WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Sena
tor George announced Wednesday
the SBubsistence Homestead corpor
ation had set aside $1,000,000 for a
farm colony in Georgia, which he
said would become the model for
a much wider land utilization pro
gram. ;
- Approximately 1,500 persons will
be placed on- 30,000 acres of land,
»Sen%or George said. He outlined
the method in which the $1,000,000
will be spent as follows:
1. Acquisition of land.
2. Construction of homes, out
building and farm improvements.
3. Purchase of livestock and
farm equipqxent.
4. Construction;: installation and
operation o processing plants such
35 Creamsaries and connerics,
5. Minimum general operating
expenses.
~ Settlers upon the homestead of
the model farm community will
be selected on a basis of general
character and experience, the sen
atop said, and will be employed
first"in’ making the sites generally
avdilable ~for use and thereafter
given the privilege of renting
enough land to produce their own
subsistence with further acreage
on which to grow one or more
cash crops.
Planting. and marketing will be
in aecordance with the general
program wroked out by the direc
tors of the corporation operating
the community,
Those who participate in the
back-to-the-farm experiment as
tenants will be given an option to
purchase the land as soon as they
are able to carry out the contract.
The enterprise, George said,
will be located between Macon and
Atlanta, in a section of the state
which has been depopulated by
the boll weevil and other adverse
conditions. Surveys rnow are being
made in connection with selection
of the site.
The senator said the contract
between the government and the
corporation, to be known as the
Chancellorville corporation, had
been signed. It was understood
the corporation had options on
land on*which the projects may be
located.
Experts are making detailed
studies looking for location of the
enterprise and to the development
of the community on the live-at
home plans, especial attention be
ing given to marketing on scien

Jesse L. Livermore, ‘For
mer ‘‘Boy Wonder of
Wall Street” Missing
NEW YORK — (&) — Jesse L.
Livermore, wealthy stock market
operator, was misging Wednesday
under circumstances that led his
wife to tell authorities she believed
him kidnaped.
There has been no trace since 3
p. m. Tuesday of the man whose
spectacular operations in Wall
street earned him the title of “The
Boy Plunger” in his younger days.
The department of justice Wed
nesday ordered its agents in the
bureau of investigation, which
handles kidnaping cases under the
federal law, to enter the case in
cooperation with New York police.
Police checked without success
various hogpitals and hotels, and
sought out for questioning friends
who might ordinarily have met
him at his favorite haunts.
Livermore, who is 56 years old
has figured prominently in the
news for many years., Most re
cently, he was named in a $250,000
breach of promise suit brought by
Miss Naida Krassnova in October
of this year. He filed a general
denial of the charges and a motion
for a bill of particulars. The case
is still pending,
In Septemher last year, his wife,
Mrs. Dorothea F. Livermore, ob
tained a Reno divorce, and last
March he married Mrs., Harriet
Metz Noble of Omaha, Neb. It
was she who reported Livermore's
absence to the police.
Livermore first gainéd promi
nence for his speculations on the
New York curb market in which
he was reputed to have made and
lost millions of dollars. Later he
turned to grain and early in 192 t
was reported to have made a for

preme court Wednesday reverseda
ruling of the Haralson superior
icourt approving the removal of
(Chairman J. W. Barnett of the

\ The case was reversed on the
grounds that the trial judge erred
in overruling the demurrer to the
answer of J, J. Mangham, against
‘whom the case was directed since

governor as Barnett's successor.
Attorneys representing Mang
ham contended that hte point ‘was

could be amended at the next trial
of the case but Chief Justice Rich
ard B. Russell in a speclally con
curring opinion held that the sus
taining of the demurrer to the an
swer would decide the case in fa- .
vor of Barnett.
“When the demurrer is sustain
ed,” Chief Justice Russell said in
his special opinion, “the plaintiff's
claim is unshaken, for, according
to our holding, even though the
governor may have had the legal
right to remove the plantiff as
chairman of the board, Barnett ig¢
still a member of the State High- .
way bhoard.” .
When Mangham resigned % re
cently as chairman of the High

governor moved that the Barnett~

On the questicn of the case be-
