Judge Pittman Charged With Reflecting O n University
TALMADGE CLUB N
CTATEMENT REPLIES
T 0 PITTMAN CHARGE
Declares Sanford Intro

tical Significance
DEFENDS FACULTY
Pittman Charges Sample
Of His Tactics, Tal
madge Club Asserts
Replying to charges by Judge
Claude C. 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: ’

governor, was a visitor to our eity

BANKING PRACTICES
Senate Committee Un
leashes Attack on Banks
And Bankers
BY RICHARD L. 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.
It was prepared by the “invest!l
gating staff which assisted Ferdin
and Pecora, now a member of the
Securities Exchange commisgsion,

where the construction or repairs
amounts to as much as SSO. July
led all other months of this year
in paying into the city treasury
proceeds from the contracting tax.
Thirty-eight permits were issued
in that month, totalling $25,353.60.
Of the 36 permits issued . in July,
10 were for jobs costing as much
as SI,OOO. The minimum price for
a permit is $1 for an estimate of
from 50 to SI,OOO, and beyond
that is one-tenth of one percent.
Roofing Ordinance
Under an ordinance adopted by
council a few years ago, all new
construction of roofs must be of
material other than wood, and no
roofs may be repaired with wood
Mhfngles if thel job amounts to
more than 50 percent of the roof.
