Fulfills Need
First speaker of the day was
Charles A. Cook, of the Dixle Mo
tor eclub, Atlanta, who praised the
enthusiasm of the meeting, and
spoke briefly on the need.for a
paved highway to Awugusta fom
Atlanta.
“T know of no better way in
which to advertise a route” he
saild, “than through a motorcade,
and with the interest and enthus
jasm which has already been
aroused, I believe that this motor
cade will be one of the most suec
cessful ever staged in Georgia.”
Mr. Moody, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, introduced
Mr. Turner, chairman of the Rich -
mond county commissioners, who
said that Augusta and Richmomd
county were hehind the paving of
the route and the motorcade to
mark its opening. He stressed the
point that Richmond county has
always been interested in the de
velopment of good roads, and
rointed out that the road from Au
gusta to Savannah will also be
paved this year furnishing a paved
route from Atlanta. to Savannak
through Augusta. He also said
that in the near future it is hoped
that the Savannah river will be
widened and it will be possible te
take a boat trip from Augusta te
the sea-port. i ihA
Expresses Appreciation
Judge Dunn, ordinary of McDuf
fie county, introduced Randall
Evans, jr, member o©f the state
assembly from Thomson, who ex- 1
pressed the appreciation of his
county for the work done by Au=-
gusta, Athens and A tlanta citizens
in securing the paving of the road.
He read a letter sent by Judge
Dunn to an Augusta paper, urging
that the highway be named aftet
Tom Watson, since It passed bw
his home as well as the cemetery
in which he is buried.
«1¢ iy appropriate,” he pointed
out, “that this highway honor the
name of one of Georgia’s greatest
men, who is known throughout the
world as a great statesman, writer,
lecturer, legislator, and publicist. ]
Some have suggested that the |
route be named the ‘Bobby Jones
Highway' We admire the great
golfer and do not mean to dis- |
parage him, but we feel that he is
a wyoung man and that a highway
may be developed through his
county and be more appropriately
named after him.” |
Abit Nix, toastmaster, pointed
out that other names had also beer
suggested for the road, including
“7The Robert Toombs Highway,”
and that that matter would have
to be left up to the proper offici
als. On motion of Millwee Owens,
editor of the Augusta Herald, it
was decided to leave the question
of naming the highway to the ex
ecutive committee and the state
highway department.
Mr. Pope, speaking for Wash
‘ingtOn and Wilkeg county, invited
the motorcade to attend an old
fashioned barbecue in Washington
The invitation was accepted.
On motion of Tate Wright.
Clarke county clerk, the Atlanta
Journal was asked to sponsor the
motorcade. Alex McNeill of the
Journal expressed the appreciation
of the paper for the request, as
well as the regrets of Major John
S. Cohen, publisher, that he could
not be present. Major Cohen, Mr
MecNeill said, said he would put all
the resources of the Journal behind
the motorcade to make it and the
paved route a success.

BOLNIA AGKNG FOR
LEAGUE ARBITRATION
Appeal From Belligerent
And Soviet Suggestions
Crip Ceneva Meeting
GENEVA.—{(/P)—Bolivia. appeal
ed to the League of Nations under
two articles of the covenant to
end its war with Paraguay in the
Chaco Boreal of South America.
This sensational development
came at the very end of a ILeague
council meeting after representa
tives of both mnations had spoken
to the assembled members.
First, Costa Durels, Bolivian
delegate, invoked Article 13
whereby disputing nations may
ask arbitration.
He was answered by Caballero
Bedoya, Paraguayan representa
tive, who said: ‘“We cannot allow
arbitration to be a snare for the
nation’s good faith.”
Then Costa. Durels appealed for
a settlement of the dispute under
Article 15 which authorizes the
council to make recommendations
for the settlement of disputes
without the wvote of the disput
ants.
The latter article is a step pre
ceding the possible application of
military measures against an ag
gressor nation.
The Bolivian representative said
his nation was forced to resort to
Article 15 and declared that Para
guay had failed utterly to bring
any hopeful contribution to a plan
of settlement.
Earlier in the session he insisted
that the Proposed international
arms embargo would mean the
“finish” of Bolivia., He charged
that Paraguay has a munitions
factory.

The biggest peace-time review-in. the history of the U. S. Navy got wunder way this afternoon, as the Battleship Penngylvania, flagship of
the United States fleet, steamed past President Roosevelt, aboard the Cruiser Indianapolis, (above), commanded by Vice Admiral Frank
Brumby, of Athens, Ga.
The President stood on the forward turret deck, flanked by Secretary of the Navy Swanson and Josephus Daniels, ambassador to Mexicol
and Secretary of the Navy in the Wilson administration.
Sixteen years ago, Daniels and Roosevelt, then assistant Secretary of the Navy, reviewed the fleet when it returned from war duty in
European waters.
STRIKE GALL STANDS
[N HUGE INDUSTRIES
Intervention by President
Seen as Only Means of
Averting Tie-Up
WASHINGTON—(®P)—Threats of
strikes in two great industries—
steel and cotton textiles — lay on
the administration’s doorstep
Thursday.
The prospect grew that President
Roosevelt would have to step into
the breach to avert a serious tisup
in both industries.
A general strike call by the
United Textile Workers of Ameri
ca summonedq cotton mill employes
to leave their machines next Mon
day to fight against a 25 per cent
slash in production by NRA, Lead
ers predicted more than 300,000
workers would respond.
Battling for recognition of non
company unions-—e point on which
steelmasters have been adamant—
the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers an
nounced that a general strike
would 'be called in mid-June un
less its members win the right to
choose spokesmen freely for col
lective bargaining.
Contend NRA Violated
The union leaders, who contend
the collective bargaining guaran
tee in NRA has been violated hy
employers, asked:
“Is the American Iron and Steel
institute more powerful than the
president of the United States?”
Thomas F, McMahon, president
of the United Textile Workers of
America, stood firm in his strike
call Thursday.
“The issue. at stake,” he said,
“gpparently is whether the work
ers are wiling to acept a 25 per
cent wage reduction. The answer,
based on telegrams from our work
ers in North and South, is an em
phatic ‘No'.”

not be rescinded unless the pro

“Law’s Delay” and “Intolerable Conditions”
Sharply Criticized by State Bar President
SEA ISLAND BEACH, Ga.—(#)
—Criticism of the “law’'s delay”
ang ‘“intolerable conditions” sur
rounding enforcement of criminal
law were coupled Thursday with
an outline of benefits that would
come to lawyers and the state of

He said men are seeking a solu
tion of their differences before
other forums to avoid the evil of
the law's delay—forums which
furnish quick and certain deci

to a speedy and comparatively in
expensive end. These other for

Motor Magnate E. L. Cord
Tells of Three Times Ab
duction Was Threatened
(Copyright, 1934, By The As
sociated Press)
LONDON .—(P)~Three attempts
to kilnap members of his family
from hix home at Beverly Hills,
Calif, have been grapnically de
scribed by E. L, Cord. American
automobile and airplane magnate,
to English acquaintances.
One of the attempts, involving
the use of a mysterious airplane,
wag said to have resulted in the
advice of a Californa police chiet
to the American millionaire to
take his family out of the United
States’ for an extended visit
abroad. ¥
It was learned definitely Thurs
day that Cord has been in Eng
land since the middie of April, a
date corresponding to the sensa
tional kidnaping cases of William
F. Gettle in California. and June
Robleg in _Arizona.
Cord has taken a home in Surrey
for the summer and it was sald
“he does not intend to return to the
United States until the kidnaping
scare has died down.
On one occasion, according to an
informant, in whom Cord confided,
an airplane flew over the Cord
estate in Talifornia getting the lay
of the land and, possibly, taking
pictures. : P
The plane was said to have been
traced to a secret landing place
across the border in Mexico. '
later a guard at the Cord home
was said to have been surprised
suddenly by an unidentified man
who shoved a revolver into his
ribs. The guatd, however, was
saved by =@ companion hidden in
the shrubbery who fired at the as
sailant supposed to have been a
would-be Xkidnaper.
A third atterfipt wasg believed to
have been made when a man was
found lurking on the est&t_e.
Despite the strong guard which

Thursday in one of the rreatest
pageants of American naval his
tory, S
Sailing in from southern rs,
the fleet kept the rendezvous with
its commander-in-chief at sea, two
miles off Ambrose lightship, near
the harbor entrance, ;
It was a three-fold spectacle—
the ships iln‘review, the planes in
an aerial demonstration and the
final procession of the vessels to
berths about Mahattan, )
The early morning fog was dis
pelled by a warm mid-day sun and
the columnsg of ships, 12 miles long,
came up over the horizon majesti
caly on the sparkling sea.
The Indianapolis reached its an
chorage at 11:46 a. m., eastern
gtandard time, and dropped anchor.
Visibility was good.
The president was eating lunch
with Vice Admiral Frank Brumby,
‘of Athens, Ga.,, when the Indian
apolis dropped its anchor off Am
‘brnsp.
With battle flags flying and
guns thundering the presidential
galute, the vessels passed within
500 yards of the anchored review
ing ship, the heavy c:nm,)ma%‘%
apolis on which stood President
I Roosgevelt.

For nearly an hour the ships
passed, with all men in full dress

tradition of the sea, with .
gpaced at arms length aboutm(g,
rails. ™
As each vessel drew abreast of
the president, .the crew came to
hand salute, the guard presented
arme, the band played the national
anthem and each saluting ship—
battleships and cruisers — in fi%
gave the presidential salute of 2
guns, fired at five second inter«
vals,
The president, himself a sea-go-
Ing man and once assistant secs
retary of the navy, accepted each
salute and eyed the ships and men
clogely, proudly, as the 700,000-ton
power of the navy wag spread be
