Army Mail Flyers

" Despite Wind, Snow
By The Associated Press
Although 'hamllcam)ed h‘ ad
verse flying c¢onditions in some
parts of the country the huge air
mail project taken gver from com
mercial companies by army fliers
was functioning near normal Wed
nesday.
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,

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—(#)—Look

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

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

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

were largely disregarded. Schools,
courts and businesses were re
‘opening after suspending because
of the storm.
Through the nigßt 3 sailors

Winthrop Head, near Boston. Coast

Here are some high spots of the
storm’s havoc:
A Boston train due in New York

5:45 p.m., the first to get through.
An expectant mother, Mrs. E. D

A policeman got another car. It

DA DEAN'S DEFENSE
ADED BY PHYGIGIAN
GREENWOOD, MlSS.—(#)—Dr.
Sarah Ruth Dean's defense coun
sel in her murder trial Wednesday
put a second physician-witness on
the stand to rebut the state con
tertion that she poisoned Dr. John
Prestol Kennedy with a whiskey
highball and was so charged in a
dying statement by Dr, Kennedy,
. 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. Gordin, Kennedy's
consulting physician, testified for
the defense he did not believe
Kennedy died of Mercury poison

for the prosecution.

Board meeting held Tuesday at
the Court house at 3 o’clock.
Appearing before the group were
approximately 25 prominent plan

board, explaining that a large
group of planters last week made
a trip to Tallapoosa county Ala

tion measures there and that it
was hoped that a , similar plan
might be evolved for Clarke coun

R. H. Driftmier, of the College
of Agriculture, was the first
speaker. He told of the necessity
of stopping soil erosion here, and!
the need for proper terracing of
the land to accomplish this.

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.

Aged Negro Returns te Legislative Halls -
Of South Carolina, Which Once Banned Him
COLUMBIA, 8. C.—#)— “Sena

stooping with age, came back
Wednesday to the legislative halls.
He was ordered to leave almost 60
years ago as a political exile—a
“man without a state,”
The ex-senator is a Charlotte,
N. C., Negro who was elected to
the South Carolina “carpet bag”
legislature in 1874. He served un
til 1876 when Col. Wade Hampton,
riding the roads by night with red
shirts “took over” the state as
gofernor.
The senator’'s return today was
a “triumphant entry” intg the
state from which he was banned.
He was accompanied by a motor
cade of prominent Charlotte busi
ness and professional meh—and by
the truck and apparatus of a sound

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.
