Pittman here Friday that Governor Eugene Talmadge is at tempting to make the University of Georgia a part of “his political ma chine,” the Clarke County Tal madge Club, through President W. W. Scott last night declared that the Pittman charge is a reflection upon gthe University and its facul ty. The Pittman charge was based upon the announcement that Pres ident S. V. Sanford will introduce Governor Talmadge here on Sep tember 10. The candidate asserted that the governor is attempting to “intimidate” the University faculty into voting for him, and is ‘“fore ing the University Into partisan poiitics” for the first time in its long history. % In replying to Judge Pittman’s charges, the Talmadge club de clared that it was 5 reflection upon the University faculty and that “no candidate, or friends of candidates, have ever invaded those academic halls trying to influence” the vote of the faculty who are “independ ent”, and have “aiways wvoted in Athens without interference”, and that it hag been ‘“an unwritten law,” that the factulty “vote as they please without fear ‘or favor”. “The charge of ‘coercion’ made by candidate Pittman”, the Tal madge club statement gaid, “will not gain him any strength among the fair and intellizent voters of this state”. It also declares that Dr. Sanford was invited to intro duce Governor Talmadge because the president of the University of Georgia “is the most distinguished man in the state” and his introdue tion “has no political significance.” The statement of the Talmadge cluh asserts that Judge Pittman’s charge “is as intemperate ag it is untrue. It is simply the statement of a politician who is willing to get down to a low level for the purpose of advancing his eandida cy”. No members of the University faculty are in the Talmadge club here, the statement said, apd “none has ever attended its meetings.” The full statement of the Tal madge club follows: ’ Judge Pittman, a candidate for governor, was a visitor to our eity during this week, and our people {(C'antinued on page six.)

TURNER (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON— (#) —A severe and general condemnation of banks, bankers and banking prac tices in the pre-depression boom days was unleashed Saturday night by the senate banking committee in an ¢xhaustive report on thls phase of its long investigation of Wall Street. Investment affiliates, specula tion in the stock of a bank by its officials with emphasis upon short sales, exhorbitant salaries and bonuses, loans by a bank to its of ficers and unduly large advances to brokers for speculative transac tions were denounced alike as un ethical procedure which hastened and intensified the business trou bles of the last four years. The report relates one after ano ther all the headline-making incl dents of the investigation of com mercial ang private banks, putf{:g into’ matter-of-fact language the startling testimony upon which crowded committee-rooms hung breathlessly. Nothing was omit ted save Mr. J, P, Morgan's mid get. The analysis published Saturday night was the last section of a general report on the whole inves tigation. All will now be pierced togethep in book form and publish ed by the government printing of fice. Many who followed the in quiry predict that the resulting volume will become a valuable source book for the economist and historian.
