one Democratic attack on the New

ceived a first-hand pitcure of so
‘cial conditions, particularly in
slums and rural lif=.
Apparently satisfied, the Presi

‘tation work is progressing along
the right lines.
I The Houston left St. Croix, Vir
gin Islands, at noon yesterday, af
kter Mr. Roosevelt made a hurried
inspection of federal projects
there.
While a tropical sun beamed, he
joined a religious service conduc
ted by the ship's chaplin on deck
late in the afternoon.
After meeting President Enrique

iremember and realize that you
are also a part of the American

Man and Wife Are
Found Dead Sunday
Near Greenville, Ga.
GREENVILLE, Ga. —(®)— Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel Hughes, an el
derly couple‘who formerly lived in
College Park, Ga., were found dead
in a swamp several miles from
here after a widespread search and
today Meriwether county officers
charged a Negro tenant farmer
with the double killing.
The bodies of Hughes, 53, and
his wife, 50, were badly decom
posed when a farmer found them
yesterday. A search had been un
der way since Saturday when
Sheriff C. H. Collier arrested Joe
Mucker, 35-year-old Negro, after
he had asked the sheriff “what
would you do if you found Mr.
and Mrs. Hughes dead ”
Tucker first was charged with
possessing liquor. Then the charge
was changed to murder and he
was placed in the jail at Newnan,
A coroner’s jury was called to
continue its investigation today.
Sheriff Collier said it was his
belief that Mrs. Hughes had been
attacked and that the two_ were
killed when Hughes sought 0 de
fend hig wife. He said Tucker’s
wife implicated the Negro in the
killings.
Dr. R. B. (Qilbert, foreman of
the grand Jjury and examining
physician, said there were no
marks to indicate that Hughes of
his wife had been shot,

CHICAGO,—(#)— Prefacing
her visit with a plea to be

tour of inspection of Chicago’s
1934 World’s fair. !
‘l'm off the record this trip,”

HEALTH TESTS ARE
NEARLY COMPLETED
Physical Examination Is
Given Workers in Public
Food Establishments.
Physical examinations and lab
oratory tests by the City Health
department of persons engaged in
handling food, milk, ete., in restau
rants, dairies, markets, soda founts
and ice cream plants were nearing
completion Monday.
When the tests are completed,
between 400 and 500 persons will
have been examined, Dr. W. W.
Brown, in charge of the depart
ment, said.
The <¢xaminations have been
conducted during the past few
weeks and are not to be confused
with the Inspection of premises by
the food inspector, Dr. H. B.
Hodgson.
Teste are given for typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, skin diseases, pus
wores, bronchitis, abscessed teeth,
sinugitis, social diseases and oth
ers.
A report i¢ given the proprietor
if any employe is unfit for work or
in such condition as to create
health menace to patrons. If an ap
plicant is found to have certain of
the diseases, the health department
notifies the proprietor that employe
must be replacéd. All new em
ployes must, under law, be given
an examination before being put
to work.
A surprising feature of the work
is that so few citizens take advant
age of the opportunity to have
their cooks, nurses and home
workers examined. The Health de
partment offtrg the examinations
without charge as part of its work
and it would seem that housewives
would insist their cooks who pre
pare food, nurses who handle their
children and the servants submit

Raids For Arms Are
Spread Through Cuba;
Arrests Are Ordered
HAVANA.—(#)—Raids for arms
were spread throughout Cuba to
day by Col. Fulgencio Batista,
commander-in-chief of the army,
who is convinced he has thwarted
what would have been a major
revolution inspired by former army
officers.
Batista ordered the arrest of
several ex-officers as well asg en
listed men. Some three score are
already in jail charged with con
spiracy.
Jubilant at what he considers a
triumph over his enemies, Batista
said apparently some members of
the “ex-officersassociation”, whose
headquarters were raided Friday,
planned to make him a member of
their association, “Honorig Causa”
(for the sake of honor).
“Crossmarks” placed against his
name and those of other army of
ficers, Batista asserted, may have
indicated he was a marked man.

Fearing i “Political Fen

Push Foreign Plan.
By A. D. STEFFERUD
(Copyright, 1934, By The As
sociated Press ‘
BERLIN. — Germany plang to
push vigorously a friendlier for
eign policy, it appeared today, fear
ing other countries will build po
litical fences completely shutting
her out.
Her hand was figuratively
stretched out in mingled friend
ship, apprehension and defiance to
France and the world.
A ringing pronouncement for
Franco-German understanding and
at the same time a warning that
Germany will fight “as no people
ever yet fought for liberty,” by
Rudolf Hess, trusted lieutenant
of Hitler, was considered some
thing of an about-face from a firm
Nazi poliey.
Addressing 12,000 Nazi chief
taing at Koenigsherg yesterday,
Hess said a defenceless country
endangers peace and that Ger
many would be satisfled with the
minimum arms necessary to se
curity.
Close observers interpreted the
straight from the shoulder and un
precedented address of the hand
some eabinet minister as closely
tied with the visit to London of
Louis Barthou, French forelgn
minister, in search of security
Rwereements, and the concern of
other nations over the drastic sec
ond Nazi “revolution.”

Among the questions to be de

“To the Athens Banner-Herald:
The undersigned citizens of
Athens request your cooperation
in protecting the interests of the
people of thig city, which, in our
opinicn, have been seriously dam
aged by the action.of the mayor
and city council, at their meeting
on Friday, July 6, in allowing the
discontinuance by the Georgia
Power company and lits subsidiary
corporation, the Athens Coach
company, of the operation of buses
in Athens.
We realize the need in this city
of an efficiently operated street
car or bus service, and we consider
the action of the corporationg con
cerned, and of the mayor and
council in allowing their discon
tinuance, a gross injustice to the
people of Athens, and a direct vio
lation of their rights as citizens.
We request that you announce
.the call of a mass meeting to be
held at the city hall on Wednes
‘day, July 11, at 8 p. m., which
all interested citizens are invited
to attend, at which meeting ap
propriate action will be taken with
the view of demanding and secur
ing restoration of this service. We
also ask that you advertise thig
meeting and urge the attendance
of all who are interested in cor
recting this injustice.”
First Shipment of
Cattle Expected in
Milledgeville Today
First shipments of beef cattle
to the Athens division from the
drouth-stricken areas of the mid
dle we -, were expected to arrive
in Milledgeville today, J. H.
Wood, manager of the divisional
office of the FERA, announced to
day.
Four carloads, ranging from 25
to 45 head per carload, were to be
unloaded at Milledgeville. The
shipment was started from Kansas
City Saturday, Mr. Woods said. A
total of 9,000 head is to be sent to
the Athens division, which com
prises thirty-three counties and a
total of 50,000 will be shipped into
Georgia.
Scarcity of food and water in the
middle west and the fact that
canneries are working overtime
and are still unable to use up the
available supply before the cattle
starve or die of starvation, is the
reason for shipping the cattle to
other areas. Mid-west packers are
canning 75,000 head weekly.
On reaching Georgia and the
other southern states, the cattle
will be placed in pastures at once
and as soon as possible will be
canned, Mr. Wood said. |

Plan to Organize - State
Association At Gather
ing Saturday. e
By GLENN RAMSEY ‘
Associated Press Staff Writer.
ATLANTA, Ga— (&) —Georgia
mayors, their Irish up, are band
ing together tu get complete home
ruia.
They’ve had enough, so they
say, of the legislature telling them
what to do. They want a divorce
from the general assembly - and
they’ll take alimony foo. BT
Arouse¢ by that liberal, Mayor
James L., Key of Atlanta, the
city and town bosses are coming
here Saturday to do something for
their constitluents. :
Mayor “Jim,” the Atlanta exe
cutive, says 125 mayors . already
have ‘accepted and the attendance
will run something like 250. They
plan to form the Georgia Mayors'
asscciation te be ruled by a gove
erning board composed of coms
gressional district vice-presidents.
Legislative politics, wherein
changes in charters, distribution
of taxes, etc., have depended on
the whims of the local legislator,
is the thing that brought the
mayors to a decision for a pesi
tive step to help themselves. =
At present local bills in the as
sembly are passed almost by &
wave of the hand when endorsed
by the local representative. If he
was elected from the ranks of
those opposed to the home town
municipal administration, it's
often just too bad for the ecity |
fathers. Hridl
Here are some of the objectives
of the proposed association of
mayors: Y g
