another brave aerial venture near

short of its goal.
A rough field at Saint Andre De

an effort to fly non-stop to War

After 22 hours and two minutes
in the air—they had left Harbor
Grace, at 8:58 a. m., (E.S.T.) Fri

of dwindling gasoline and murky
weather too much, and eased their

‘Campaign of Deception’
ATLANTA —(#— Hugh Howell,
chairman of the state Democratic
Executive committee and campaign
manager for Governor Talmadge,
Saturday denied Judge Claude
Pittman's charges that he was im
plicated in a “pardon racket” in
Georgia and charged Judge Ptit
man with running for governor ‘“on
a campalgn of deception.”
In a statement addressed to “the
people of Georgia,” Mr. Howell
vigorously denied instances in
which Judge Pittman said he had
received fees for obtaining the
freedom of persons sentenced to
prison.
“Pittman charges me with being
4in what he terms the ‘pardon
vacket’ (}n Georgia” Mr. Howell's
statemént said. “He has waid 1
represeént scores of criminals who
are released by Governor Tal
madge and that I have received
enormous fees from these criminals
for obtaining their freedom.
“This charge is false and Pitt
man knows it. I have represented
persons who were in trouble in
the various courts of pur state and
before the various governors;
some cases I have won, others 1
have lost. However the facts are
as follows: : ¢
“Since Talmadge has bheen gov
