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.”

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

the coffin of his former secretary

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.

ENTRY OF GILLIAM

Last - Minute Qualifying
Brings Opposition to
Many Incumbents
By K. 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
