A lashing gale in New England which caused postporement of the initial flight of the Newark, N. J., to Boston leg of the sgervice Tuesdiy was slackening. Better weather also was expected at Las Vegas, Nev., where, 6an eastbound plane was stormbound. A¢ the Newark airport planes were leaving on schedule for the West and the South. The first plane flown to Cleveland had made the return trip safely. Planes were operating between Pacific coast cities apparently without delay and an eastbound palne from Oakland, Cal, winged its way toward Elko, Nev, after a stop at Reno to pick up mail. Elko a storm had abated and a plane which had been held there was on its way to Oakland. Pilots flying the north and south route reported little difficulty with cross winds but the open cockpits of the army planes offered little protection to northbound fliers. M. P. POWELL TALK 3 T 0 WOMEN VOTERS Criffin City Manager lls Guest of Local League At Luncheon Meeting H. P. Powell, city manager at Griffin, Ga., explained the city manager plan of municipal gov ernment in a talk before a lunch eon meeting of the Athens League of Women Voters at the Holman hotel Tuesday. Mr. Powell, who is a brother to Dean R. H. Powell, of the Coordi nate college here; came to Athens at the special invitation of Mrs. Paul R. Morrow, president of the local organization, In the course of his talk, the speaker gave reasons why he con sidered the form of city govern ment used by Griffin superior to any other. _“There are two forms of the city manager type of government,” Mr. Powell said, “the mayor and coun cil city manager plan and the commissioner city manager plan. I do not like the firs¢ one, because it brings over too many evils from the old mayor and coqncll gystem.” Little Politics The speaker explained shat Grif fin has three commissioners elect ed by the people, but it is against the law for a commissioner to so licit votes during an election. The board of commissioners has full power to appoint a city manager, city attorney, judge of the city court, and a tax collector. “The Griffin city government sis practically free from politics,” Mr. Powell declared, “hecausd it s against the law to “politic”. The city manager brought out the fact that .the commissioners are always nominated by their friendq, and, as a general rule they will have no opposition. He said that there have been only twe independent candidates for com missioner in the past twelve years, and that these two were badly beaten. The commissioners are elected from the city at large. Mr. Pow;il Vl;evliervés that all high school graduates should have had a course in municipal government, (Continued On Page Three) “By Their Lips, Not Eyes, Shall a Man Know Women,” Says Artist in Hellywood HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—(#)—Look at her lips, not into her eyes, says Henry Clive, noted artist, to know a woman’s soul and temperament. His beliefs, which contradicts the theory that a woman’s eyes are the “mirror of her soul’” were expressed after he had completed a study of the lips of eight prom inent motion picture actress. They were Jean Harlow, Miriam Hop kins, Carole Lombard, Claudette Colbert, Ginger Rogers, Sally Rand, Esther ‘Ralston and Lupe Velez. “Miss. Harlow's lips,” he said, “are full and firm, indicating & temperament of great extremes, utter happiness or utter despair. “Miss Hopking’ lips offer a great contrast. The upper lip is full, the lower one an almost horizontal line. T, paint her on, canvas an artist would have to understand the meaning of those lips. They tell one important thing. She _is Many Towns Still Isolated ~ Today as Snow Blocks All Traffic NO RELIEF FORESEEN Shipping Is Endangered, But Railroads Cet Few Trains Through Today By The Associated Press Cold that knifed to the morrow staggered the BEast Wednesday as it strove to shake off paralysis caused by the “Worst blizard since ‘88", at least 25 persons lay dead, struck down by the storm. Many towns were still px-a.cuqal ly isolated, transportation system crawled at a snail's pace in num erous spots, and whistling winds imperilled shipping, The mercury plunged toward zero, and the cold glazed the land with ice, harden:- ing snowdrifts that impended traf fic. No immediate relief was in sight. The frigid wave eXtended as far south as Florida. New England, hardest hit by the slashing 60-mile gale, was still buried in many places under snow_ drifts 6 to 12 feet deep. There were at least nine dead there, 10 in New York City, and six in Pen nsylvania. The latter city will spend $2,000,000 to dig out of the snow that marooned 500,000 work ers in their homes and forced the stock exchange to open an hour late Tuesday. . Highway traffic was still tied up Wednesday in a knot in many places, but most trains were mov ing, although regular schedules were largely disregarded. Schools, courts and businesses were re ‘opening after suspending because of the storm. Through the nigßt 3 sailors stuck to the colfier Northern Sword, which jammed ashore off Winthrop Head, near Boston. Coast guardmen with breeches buoy stood ready to take them off if smashing seas started to br%ak up the vessel. The storm gave three doomed slayers in Boston a few more hours of life, The executioner, Robert El liott, was snowbound somewhere between New York and Boston and so Herman Snyder, John A, Donnellon and Harry C. Bull could not be electrocuted at the appoint ed hour early Wednesday, Here are some high spots of the storm’s havoc: A Boston train due in New York at 6:35 a. m, Tuesday arrived at 5:45 p.m., the first to get through. An expectant mother, Mrs. E. D Melller of Westbury,, Long Island, started for the hospital in a Doc tor's car. It got stuck in a drift. A policeman got another car. It also becamg stuck, then a trac tor was hooked on to the car, and Mrs. Mellier reached the hospital in time to give birth to twins, Fifteen trains carrying 3,000 or 4,000 persons were showbound in Connecticut and' Rhode Island Tuesday, A boston. New York buss was cought in a drift in North Bran ford, Conn., and 32 pasengers, in cluding two babies took refuge in farm houses. School fires in Berlin, Conn., were stoked to warm marooned bus travelers. One Wall street broker had his groom harness two horses to a sleigh to get to business. The Connecticug Light and Power com pany sent repairmen out in bob sleds. One horse plunged out of sight in a snowdrift.

FUND FOR HOME BUILDING Close Associates of Roose velt Say Plan Based on ! Mass Production OUTLET FOR CAPITAL Program Would Call For Federal Guarantee of Part Mortgage WASHINGTON.—(#)— President Roosevelt is believed by some of' his closest associates to be consid ering a request for congress at thlsi sess.on to pug a x’ederal-ﬂmmcmgl spur behind home building.

Concerned with increasing em ployment in capital goods indus tries, the president was said to be ileve that the program offered not only a constructive opportunity te help business hut would be of in valuable social importance and furnish an outlet for private cap ital. Congress is already at work on legislation to permit the home owners loan . corporation to lend money for modernizing and to al low the Home Loan bank system to lend money for individual build ng. . # The newer idea mould call for use.of federal funds in such a may that part of the risk of building homes on a mass basis, as con trasted to the general individua) construction now in use, would be assumed by the government.

Dr. A. G. Wilde, an eye spec {alist, testified he was called from ia. dinner party “on the Wednesday night before Presiton's death” to ‘examine the dying surgeon in a Jackson, Miss.,, hospital, last Au gust, With this statement in the re ‘cord, defense attorneys quickly called the jury's attention to the fact that relatives of Kennedy had previously testified that Kennedy “was in a Sstupor or semi-con scious when Dr, Wilde called,” and that they had further claimed it was on Wednesday night that the surgeon made his dying deéclara tion against Dr. Dean ‘“while ment ally normal.” . The specific point at issue was Dr. Barney Kennedy's state testi mony that he believed Wilde had seen the patient ‘“on Thursday night, after he became worse.” Dr. A. E.

OFPOGITION VOICED 10 SUGBESTED 1. S, GROPS LIMITATION Resolution Passed By Meeting of University Agricultural Unit WELTNER ATTENDS Leaders Say Proposal Will Be Disastrous to the ‘ South By The Asociated Press Opposition to any proposal that the government limit agricultural production to domestic require ments wasl voiced here yesterday by heads of the various agricul tural units of the University sy stem in an all-day meeting at the College of Agriculture, “Such a national policy,” the state’s agricultural educationail leaders said, ‘‘would be disasterous to the agricultural and commercial interests of the south.” The complete resolutions scoring the proposal production limita tions follow: e “I. That such a national policy would be disastrous to the agri cultural and commercial interests of the south for the following reasons. : “A. The production of cotton during the years 1927-31 averaged 14,657,194 bales. Of this amount 5,082,460 bales were exported. This represents 55.1 per cent of the total crop. The total value of raw cotton exported averagea $625,760,778. In addition, our exports of cotton goods amounted to 500,000,000 yds., annually. Two hundred thousand bales of cotton and the labor of 35,000 textile operators are re quired, to produce the goods ex ‘poned’. The shutting off of these ‘exports would mean that over one ‘half of the cotton farmers of thé South would be thrown out of em ployment. “B. Four hundred and sixty-four million pounds of tobacco are ex ported annually. This represents 39 per cent the total crop, The to tal value of the tobacco exported annually is $70,000,000, In elimi nating this amount of cotton and tobacco it would be difficult, if not altogether impossible, to find crops outside of forestcrops as well suited suthern conditions to re place them. More than one billion dollars worth of cotton and cotton prducts and tobacco products are exported annually. The elimination of this amount of money for ex ported products for which ny do mestic market could be substitut. ed would demoralize businéss of the South.” Chancellor Philip Weltner, of the university system, urged the ag ricultural leaders to unite in spon accomplishments in Ivanhoe com accomplishments in ivanhoe com munity in Bulloch county as an example of progress in communty work. The agricultural leaders are in session here for the purpose of coordinating the various agricul tural units of the university system. among thode attending the conference are Dean Paul W. Chapman, of the college of Agri culture; Harry L. Brown, director of agriculture extension; H. P. Stuckey, director of the Georgia experiment statiog, and J. G, Woodruff, president of Abraham Baldwin College, The session will continue until tomorrow.

PUBLISHER HURT IN ESCAPING KIDNAPERS E. P. Adler, Head of Lee Syndicate, Attacked by Two Men in Chicago CHICAGO. —(#)— E. P. Adler, publisher of the Davenport, lowa, Times and head of the Lee syndi cate of newspapers, wag attacked by two men in a hotel corridor Wednesday in an apparent attempt at kidnaping. 2 Slugged twice, Adler dodged the full effect of the blows and ran down the corridor from his room, eluding his assailants. One of them was arrested. In the room next to Adler's the detectives found a large trunk in which air holes had been poked. they sald it was apparent the two men intended to leck Adler in the trunk and have him carried out. The publisher was here to attend a meeting of the Inland Daily press association and was staying at the Morrison hotel at Clark and Mdd ison streets. As Adler stepped from his room and locked the door two men sud denly jumped from the next door and slugged him with blackjacks. So severe were the blows that sev eral] stitches had to be taken. Nev ertheless Adler broke away from the palr and summoned help. Adler and the house detective inspected the adjoining room and found the trunk, apparently a large sample case about three feet high, five feet long and two feet wide, with plenty of air holes drilled. Thers was a pistol in the room, and othker bags containing eclothing, adaesive tape, sponges and a screw driver were also found, further indications of an at temnted kidnaping. Whila the inspectors were going over the room Adler noticed a man v alking along toward them. Adler velled, “get that man” The suspect, whom he recog «nized as one of the attackers, turned and raced awav but was eanecht by House Detective Michael MoNigan. He was taken to the first district police station. The suspect told the police he and his companion had driven here from New York in a coupe. When the party arrived here it escorted the aged Negro before the general assembly, which met in joint session. The Negro mas in troduced to the body by Lieut.- Gov. J. O. Sheppard and Sen. Walter Dunlap of Chester ccunty, “Senator” Coleman’s one-time con stituency. After he was ordered from the state Coleman came to Charlotte where he was given refuge. He worked as a commercial painter until the infirmitfes of age caused him to give up his calling, Re cently he has lived at the county homae. The Negro, well-known and re spected in Charlotte, recently ex pressed a wish to return to Colum bia.before he died. He was proud of the fact—obeying the famed Col Hampton's orders — he never re turned to South Carolina.
