CLOSE.... «-cen. +..13/80 l Vol. 102, No. 208 THE Washington Lowdown —— Rodney Dutcher Penny Peanut Bar This Johnson Man Just Think of It Banner-Herald Washington Correspondent. WASHINGTON. — Toot - toot! Here comes the Band of Hope! All the genuine New Dealers and the “young liberals”—which includes most of the brain trust es — would be parading down Pennsylvania avenue, perhaps even burning red fire, if they fol lowed their strongest instincts. This jubilation is perhaps the most significant present faet in pational affairs. It rises from a general belief that the adminis tration is headed bravely toward the left, that we're to have more New Deal rather than less, and that Roosevelt is at last definitely committed to a path toward Sena tor Norris, Justice Brandeis and Rexford G« Tugwell, rather than s middle course sometimes veer ing toward Herbert Hoover, the DuPonts, and Senator Byrd. It has all come about in the last month or so and to appreciate the contrast you need only re member the early summer, when you read many reperts that the mass of “young iiberals,” disap pointed, was about to head back for the college Tfaculties and law firms whence they came. | Well, hardly anyone has left— except a few disappointed conser atives. \‘ There's a new spirit among the boys which says this is the only place they have even.a slig‘ht“ chance of fighting effectively for | cocial-economic justice and that ihey ought to stick until booted“ ut. | Among the signs pointing to he left, they cite: Certainly that NRA reorganiza tion will be a “liberal” victory over General Johnson and bear a} promise of war against monopo ists and exploiters, whom Tug- | vell calls “‘cannibals.” i Closer secret contact between Roosevelt and Justice Brandeis. l Roosevelt’'s Green Bay Speech} nd endorsement of LaFollette. | The administration’s new sym-! athetic attitude toward labor and he National Labor Relationsl oard’s hard-boiled support of | ection T-A. | Resignation of Budget Director ew Douglas, who found himselfl 0 longer an effective conservative ulwark here. Roosevelt’s two-hour ‘talk with jpton Sinclair after the latter's ictory in California. Boldness in admitting and fac ing this winter’'s tremendous re ief problem. Progress of the -social security rogram. Increasing belligerence of ‘“big usiness” against the New Deal, ending to draw the ljpe of cleav ge more sharply. % So there’s an attitude of hushed Xpectancy — as of a regiment bout to go over the top.

It wanted to know if every pre caution was taken for the safety of passengers and crew; and it l wanted to know what caused the fire that seemed to sweep almost the length of the 508-foot liner be fore all passengers could be taken! off in lifeboats. | ’ Heading the inquiry, under the | -authority of the department of commerce, is Dickerson N. Hoover, | | assistant director of the steamboat | inspection service. Sitting with “him are three local steamboat in spectors. l 5 AN “observer” at the lnvestiga-\ tion, which is being held at the customs house, will be Martin Con boy, federal district attorney. ~ While ¢oast guardsmen and fire men are searching the hulk of the still smouldering Morro Castle hardly 100 feet off Asbury Park, N.

He was‘ chief officer when the Morro Cas tle started back from Havana last’ Wednesday evening, but death which struck down Captain Rob-l ert Wilmott Friday night, elevated him to command of a ship whichfi' had he but known—was steaming “even then for another rendezvous‘ with death. i Chief Officer Warms, who re-' mained until late Saturday on the! bridge of thg 11,620 ton liner, pro- | e————— | (Continued on page eight.) | .

Culp, aged —— - 54, mayor pro-tem of Athens, and for years one of the dominant po litical figures in this community died yesterday at 12:15 o’clock at a local hospital, the victimm of an ill nessg which began some time ago with 5 sunstroke. The body of the late councilman lies today in state at the Athens Elks lodge rooms, where through out the day, a stream of friends, including former political foes, paid their respects. | The funeral services will be con- ‘ ducted from the Elks lodge rooms temorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock and the body will be interred in‘ Oconee cemetery. Tleaders in the political and fraternal life of Ath ens and the state will act as ac tive or honorary pallbearers. For nineteen years Henry Culp represented the First ward in ecity counecil and was twice elected mayor pro-tem. l During Mr. Culp's renure in cit_v! council he was recognized as one of the most powerful members of that body. At the time of his death he was dean of the council. ‘While in recent vyears Council man Culp devoted most of his time to political affairs, in . his early life he was a talented musi efan, “and "for some time was a member of the orchestra of Al G. Fields’ noted minstrel, playing the trombone. l A prominent member of the Ath iens Elks club, at the time of his {death Councilman Culp was a trustee of the lodge, and for sev eral years was secretary. Perhaps no other Athenian in his generation served so long as a | member of council as Mr. Culp. | His constituents in the First ward lwere devoted to him, and through out his entire career as a member ’of council he was always interest ed in the welfare of the citizens Iwho reside in his ward. At times he was the object of bitter politi ical attacks, but he aways came through such battles apd in many ,mstances won to friendship his political opponents. He was re 'garded as a fearless fighter in po | litical battles and always stood ‘ his ground, regardless of the in tensity of the fight that was. waged against him. | Factor in Politics f In recent years he became a ltactor in state politics, and was in the -counselg of the present admin istration at the state capitol in At lanta. For several years he was as gociated with the state agricultural department. Known to hig friends as “Tiny”, (Continued on page five.) i \ E.

V. Sanford of University of Georgia, introduc ing Governor Eugene Talmadge ducing Govrnor BEugene Talmadge to thousands of ' citizens who flocked into Athens todav from this and many other counties to hear the governor deiver his final address of his campaign for re election: Ladies and Gentlemen: I am con fident all of you have assembled here this afternoon not to hear what I may have to say, but to hear what our distinguished guest has to say, and by your presence further to pay tribute and to honor the governor of Genrgia. Clarke county can hoast of what no other county in the state can; namely, that with rare exception every governor from Governor John Milledge who purchased and gave the tract of land upon which the University now stands, to the present governor has visited Clarke county. This, in large measure, is due to the fact that the governor of Georgia has al ways been a member of.the board of trustees. of the University just as. the present governor is a mem ber of the Regents of the Univer “gity System of Georgia, another name for the ancient and honor able Board of Trustees. It is, therefore, not, as it is for so many counties, an unusual occasion for our county to have as its guest the chief executive of the state. I have been a member of the faculty of the University of Geor gia for thirty yed's and well do I recall the official visits of Gover nors Candler, Terrell, Hoke Smith, Joe Brown, Slaton, Dorsey, Har ris, Hardwick, Walker, Hardman, and Russell. Yet the citizens of Clarke county as do the citizens of every other county value highly the visit of the Governor of Geor gia, whether his visit is to attend an athletic contest, or on official business, or on a political mission. . Occasiont of Sentiment l To me this is an occasion of peculiar ~interest—an occasion ot‘ sentiment, Though I have been with the University for more than thirty years and have taught thou sands of students from every sec tion of Georgia, this is the first student to receive instruction under me to hecome the governorl of Georgia. Money is not the re ward of a teacher, but the success of his students in every walk of life.
