B SRR % G S P MO SRR o R R i 3 5 /\g_‘ Bors D R Rt o i R L British Officer’s Story of “Murder” Decried in Europe as “Disgusting” By BURDETTE JOHNS Associated Press Foreign Staff LONDON .—(®)—Colonel Graham Seton Hutchison,, known as the “British officer who stopped a war,” fought ' a private conflict Saturday over his startling state ment that King Albert I of Bel gium did not die accidentally but wag ‘“tapped on the back of the head” because he reiused to “con spire” against “defenseless Ger many.” : His assertion reverberated around the British Isles and across the channel to Belgium. It met “dis gust,” resentment, and denials, and brought a dare to repeat it at the Belgian einibassy here with a “crack on the jaw” as the prom ised reward. Hutchison, author and publicist who was an official of a British commission in upper Silesia in 1931 and who has erowded plenty of excitement into his 43 years, stuck by his guns, however, even though he disregardad the dare, He described the story of Al bert's death while mountain climb ing 85 miles from Brussels Feb. 17 as the “biggest piece of spoot put over on the world in the last six months. As quoted by the Nottingham Journal, he told the Nottingham, England, writers’ club Friday night that: ; Says He Knows Facts “Albert did not die .as a result of an Alpine accident, believe me, I know the facts. This spoof was put over by planned perjury in such a way that it is simply baf fling to intelligent people. “The story of Albert’s death was issued in Belgium before he wsas dead. A man with a rope around his waist doed not go climbing by-hims/If. His fielC glasses were found 500 yards from the body. 1 have ascertained that there were no bruises on the King’s body or hands. “In other words, he was tapped on the back of the head. That is known in Belgium. Nobody dares speak of the death of King Al bert in Belgium today. “The facts are that King Al bert was opposed to war, He would not play a part in ‘the devil try’ of France in conspiring for war against defenseless Germany. . . . When Albert I was dead, the Communists—who in fact repre sent the interests of internationa! finance—were able to,stand up on their hind legs and yell for revo lution.” Last Skating Partv To Be Held Thursday The Entre Nous Club will give its last -outdoor skating party next Thursday night, from 8 until 10 in the paved block in front of the Banner-Herald office.

(Continued on Page Five) Roosevelt Present at Services for Woodin . NEW YORK.— (&) —President Roosevelt sat almost motionless Saturday in the old-fashioned “meeting house” of the Presbyte= rians at Fifth Avenue and Fifty sixth street as the funeral service was read for his old friend and advisor, William H. Woodin, who died Thursday night. With his hands clasped in his lap, the President did not lift Qis eves once from the long blanket of vellow jonquils which shrouded the coffin of his former secretary of the treasury. : TAX REFORM SENTIMENT GROWING Sentiment in favor of tax reform in Georgia, which has recorded ranid strides in recent months, will un questionably receive added impetus as a result of the afinual convention of the Association of County Com missionexs in Macon on May 14th, 15th and 16th. J. H. Griffeth and Tate Wright, of Athens, president and secretary-treasurer, respectively, of the association, and accounted among the state’s leading exponents of some practical form of tax relief, are largely responsible for the program, which presages a sound and intelligent at tack upon the fundamental shortcomings of the present ad valorem system and equitable remedies therefor. " Few there be who are ever altogether satisfied with taxation methods—whether good or bad—and until re cent years, the attitude of the rank and file has been one of hopeless resignation, but since other states have begun to blaze the trail, and with a degree of success, Georgia has become aroused. With a few of our best minds in the vanguard of the reform procession, the fact finally dawned upon Mr. Average Man that perhaps, - after all, the act of overhauling ataxing system was not altogether a lost art, and today Georgia is acutely tax congcious. Out of the confusion resuliing from the initial out burst of enthusiasm, naturally sprang many so-called methods of relief, some of them representing so radical a departure from the established order as to render them practically unattainable, but from such upheav als, there usually emerges a few fundamental innova tions that register with the popular mind and thus enhance in popularity until finally they command favorable attention by those responsible for the enact ment of our laws. - Judging from the enthusiastic acclaim and the almost universal support that have been accorded Mr. Tate Wright's puglished suggestions along tax reform lines, it seems that public sentiment is rapidly crystalizing in that direction. As is well known, Mr, Wright holds that, until the state assumes responsibility for such aec tivities ag public health, education and highway main tenance, there is little likelihood 'of diminishing the burden imposed by ad valorem taxes. That is the only source of appreciable revenue to which the counties have access, and with ever-increasing demand on real estate in order to meet the exactions of improved and expanded health, educational and road facilities, the drg\in must inevitably attain the proportions of confis cation, - On the other hand, the state government is clothed with authority, not only to tax real estate, but may also make levies on intangible property including incomes, inheritances, and the like; and it is from this source of wealth—now largely immune—that Mr. Wright bke lieves the state should derive funds for the maintenance of the a?encies enumerated, allocating to the political sub-dividionß such funds as are needed, thereby reliev ing the counties of the onerous necessity of taxing real estate for these purposes. - Enthusiastic support of the Wright proposal is gain ing momentum at a phenomenal pace. Editorial endorse ment of the plan has appeared in scores of influential publications in every section of the state; in addition, the approving attitude of practically every county com missioner in the state constitutes a degree of strength and favorable influence that is most formidable, So, as stated at the outset, when the ctmmissioners get together in Macon and solidify their forces in sup port of some acceptable method of procedure, looking to attainment of the objectives sought, Georgia will have made a long step in the direction of relief for property that is groaning under the weight of tax bur dens. The Wright proposal seems to meet the practi calities of the situation more nearly than any other suggestion that has been made. It represents a pain staking and an intelligent approach te a vexatious prob lem, the solution of which is not to be found in a surren- der to hysteria or in precipitate action, but in the studied relation of everything concerned to the aims that are sought and a proper balancing of these various re lationships. : A formula that impresses us as both sensible and equitable, we feel that a careful congideration of this platn byt all Georgians should prove a profitable in vestment. Alumni From All Parts of South Expected For Reunions at University Next Saturday Alumni from all parts of the South are expected at the Univer sity of Georgia for the annual Alumni Day next Saturday, Tom 8.

W.MAYO . .. .- = Associated Press Staff Writer, ATLANTA, Ga—(P)—Governor Fugene Talmadge, militant chief executive of Georgia who has wom national prominence by his flery exchanges with officlals of the nat ional administration and his ous ter of the State Highway - board with the aid of the state militia, will he opposed for a second term by two candidates at the primary next September 12. In a rush of candidates to-qual ify before the elosing hour Satur- é day Alderman Ed A. Gilliam of Atlanta, attorney and real estate dealer, added his name to the three cornered ticket already aee ‘ig cupied by Governor Eugene Tals § mage and Superior Court Judge Claude Pittman of Cartersville. 7 To Be Wide-Open . .. Entry of the two men against Governor Talmadge assured & wide-open campaign this summer. j Both Talmadge and Pittman have| reputations as forceful stump ; speakers. Talmadge is expected & stand on his record, which jine< 7 cludes an executive order cutting the price of automobile license tags to a flat $3 after the last legiglature had failed to take aes tion to reduce the price of tags. Judge Pittman probably will make issues of the governor's ouster of the highway board, when he called out the national guard to force the members from office when they refused to leave; his later removal of the Public * Service commission after a dispute q over utility rates, and the gover nor's use of the pardoning power. Mr. Gilliam’s entry in the race was termed by Judge Pittman as a confirmation of his predietion made several days ago that the 3 Talmadge forces would enter a “stalking horse” in an effort to i% split the Talmadge opposition. On Repeal Platform ' - é In a statement in which he said he will seek the governouilp ;g on a straight out issue favdfi%: = repeal of the state’s prohibition | law, Mr. Gilliam said he ‘“had consulted with no political bosses before entering the race and g would consult with none now er ° later.” G 35;:*' Mr. Gilliam is 34 years old i fi is now serving his second ko as alderman from the ¢ ;é ward. He has been one ‘of the 1 |leadlng spokesmen in city couneil % for the administration of Mayor James L.
