DEADLINE SATURDAY

Four. Major State Officers
Still Without Announc
ed Opposition Today
- ATLANTA— (#) —The deadline
falls at noon Saturday in Ggorgia’s
own biennial derby—the Democrat
ic state primary. >
Friday and Saturday will tell
the story of whether a full slate
of candidates will oppose incum
bents for renomination in the
Septemher 12 primary, or whether
four major state afficers still with
out opposition will go into anoth
er term without contests.
At noon Saturday Miss Eleanor
Orr, secretary of the state Demo
cratic executive committee, will
close her entry books at her office
at the state capivol.
Rules of the committee require
all entries to be in Miss Orr's hands
by noon. An entry put into the
mails and postmarked before noon
will not be accepted unless it
reaches Miss Orr before 12 o’clock.
So far state treasure George B,
Hamilton, Attorney General M. J.
Yeomans, Superintendent of Edu
cation M. D. Collins, and Comptrol
ler General William 8.. Harrison
had no qualified opposition, al
though there have been many ru
mors that candidates will enter
against them before the’ closing
date.
Voters' Chief Interest
Chief interest of course centered
in the opposition of Governor Tal
madge by Superior Court Judge
Claude Pittman of Cartersville,
who hopes to camry to the polls
with him virtually all of the votes
which went to the governor's op
ponents two years ago.
In 1932, the governor polled an
approximate 110,000 votes against
160,000 for the rest of the field but
won the nomination by receiving
276 unit votes, while his oppon
ents totaled only 134.
Judge Pittmaun will officially
open his campaign at Calhoun in
CGordon, county on Saturday, May

contest for a second term,

would come!”
While the contents of the origi
nal ransom note never have been
publicly disclosed, authoritative
sources said it demanded that the
girl’s father drive along a lonely,
road until certain signals were
received when he was to toss the
money out nad continue without
stopping.
“I¢f only we could have kept the
silencer at first,” Mrs. Robles said
as tears dimried her eyes. “It was
terrible though, when the note
said they must have $15,000 be
tween 5 o’'clock and 9 o'clock thag
night they took June. How could
we get that much money with the
banks closed?

Frail Little Secretary Aid

ROOSEVELT’'S ALLY
President Shocked by
Death of Man He Would
Not Let Resign
NEW YORK.—(#)—William H.
Woodin, the frail thtfe secretary
of the treasury who helped the
nation through the 1933 banking
crisis, is dead. :
He sucumbed Thursday night to
complications which followed a
throat infection. He' wWould have
been 66 years old May 27.
The throat -trouble developed
last summer and forced him to
leave the treasury post in No.vem
ber. »
When told ”of * Mr. Woodin's
death, President Roosevelt said at
Washington: y
“lI am deeply shocked and dis
tressed by the passing of my dear
friend.”
An industrialist at the expense
of a boyhood ambition to be a
doctor, Mr. Woodin turned to mu
sic after his 60th birthday and
achieved note as a composer.
Talks of Former Chief
A spring rain, reminiscent of
one of his best known musical
compositions—*Spring Is in My
Heart,” pattered outside his hospit
al window as death came. A warm
friend of Franklin D. Roosevelt,
he talked affectionately of the
President shortly before the end.
Mr. Woodin made a picturesque
cabinet officer. He liked to play
the guitar—and he did it well.
Postage stamps, prints and objects
of art, all of which he collected,
were Other hobbies of the mild
mannered man who ~guided the
treasury through grave times.
~ He had a boyish spirit that
prevailed no matter how solemn
‘the occasion and he -smiled his
way through his enormous tasks
in Washington.
The national banking holiday
prevailed from the hour he took
office. He worked at the job
night and day. After a few hours
sleep he was back at the White
House each morning, always
smiling and cheerful, talking over
the next move with the President.
There came a time when the
name of Woodin was mentioned
on lists obtained from J, P. Mor
gan and Company as among those
offered stocks at preferred prices,
A dermand went up for his resig
nation. He went to the President
and offered it. .
Mr. Roosevelt took him on a
cruise down the Potomac river
over that week-end and made
clear his resignation was not de
gsired. But the then treasury sec
retary came back still insisting,
lest he embarrass the President,
Resignation Refused
When his health weakened, Mr.
Woodin tried again to resign.
President Roosevelt wouldn't lis
ten, saying Mr. Woodin had done
“a, grand job.” 'The President
granted him an indefinite leave of

He has apparently looted chick

' Roosevelt Warns Against Crying “Wolf”
I WASHlNGTON.—(#P)—Secretary
Wallace told the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States Friday
that ‘“the future of agriculture
can not be considered apart from
the future of industry and the
future of labor.”
“"Fhey are all tied up together,”
the agriculture department head
declared. *While agriculture may
suffer for five or ten years at a
stretch without causing undue
‘embarrassment in industry, the
%time comes when industry believes
more whole-heartedly than any
one else that its prosperity de
pends on the purchasing power of
agriculture.”
Wallace said he had seen a de
cided acceptance of this fact dur
ing the past month, due largely
to an increase in purchasing pow
er among -Southern farmers the
past yegr as the result of a gain
of $420,000,000 in the value of the
1933 cotton crop over that in
1932.
“A few hundred million dollars
placed in farmers’ hands seems toi
have a great significance in terms
