ATHENS BANNER-HERALD University Holds Little Commencement FOURTEEN CHILOREN KILLED A 5 TRAINHITS HEGH SCHOM BUS Fifteen Survive Tragedy Near Rockville, Md., Late Last Night ' WEATHER FOGGCY Driver Fails to See Train Although Crossing Is Guarded by Bell BY BEN ROBERTSON ROCKVILLE, Md. — (#) — Amid scenes of anguish, parents today completed the tragic task of iden tifying 14 high school, children killed late last night when a fast express train crashed into a school ‘bus at a grade crossing. “Fears that the death list might grow were allayed. Of the 15 sur vivors, including the bus driver and a school teacher, only two children were still in the hospital today al though all were suffering badly from shock. The weather was wet and foggy as the bus—a new one painted a shiny blue and bearing the party from a chemistry exhibit at the University of Maryland, College Park, toward their homes at Wil liamsport, Maryland — approached the grade crossing here. Guarded by Bell Though Baltimore and Ohio rail road officials said the crossing was guarded by a bell and red light, the bus driver declared he did not see the train until he was on the track. “I heard the whistle just as it hit us,” he sobbed afterward. “I didn’t see the train until ¥ heard the bell of the engine as I started éver the track.” The Flyer — a train bound from St. Louis to Washington—struck the bus in the middle, sheared it in two, and carried the rear haif many vards down the track before toss ing it aside a mass of wreckage. Bodies, so terribly mangled that they were beyond identification, were strewn along the track for 200 yards, some were tossed into a cemetery nearby. Administer Rites The accident occurred outside the casement window of Rev. Cecil J. MceNeal, who hurried outside and administered the last rites of the Catholic church to dead and dying. He found two bodies on the en gine's cowecatcher. Ambulances and emergency squads clanged to the scene from Rockville and nearby towns. Nine bodies were taken to the Pumph rey undertaking parlor here, where the teacher, Miss Louise Funk, 27, of Hagerstown, Md., sought to aid in the identifcation through she was bruised and shaken herself. Undertaker Ruben Pumphrey said some of the bodies were beyond identification. The first name listed among the known dead was that of Margaret Zimmerman, whose body was view ed by her father, Dr. Ira Zimmer man. Before dawn 13 were iden tified. Besides the nine bodies at Rock (Continued On Page Five) Huey Asked to Speak Where He Got Socked PORT WASHINGTON, N, Y.— (#) — Huey Long, who left Port Washington with a black eye on his last visit here, has been in vited back. This Long Isl4nd community's chamber of commerce asked him to address its annual dinner. In the letter of invitation, Albert R. Beatty, chairman of the speakers committee, wrote: “The chamber of commerce would like to have Port Washington kmown as the place in which the genator from Louisiana delivered an important address, as well as the place in which he was ‘sock ed, or, as you put it, ‘ganged.’” STATE NEWS BRIEFS il gB T MSOCHMRIIN BLUE RIDGE—A “clean up” of places operating slot machines or selling beer or whiskey has been ordered by the Fannin county grand jury. It recommended that all such places be raided and slot machines and illegal beverages confiscated and the operators be placed under bond. Other recommendations of the jury included establishment of a county home for the poor, and abolishing the deole system for paupers.

Doyal, chdairman of the revenue commission, <yt “We do not understand why people do not buy the $3 tags in preference to violating the law,” Doyal said as he warned motorists that 21 field agents had received orders to ‘‘go after thg,m." : The division’s report as of April 1 showed that 338,686 tagss had been sold in 1935 as against’ 331,~ 149 during the same period last year. This represents collections of $1,016,058 for this year .as com pared to $993,447 for a like period in 1934. j : “It indicates two things, that the people are more willing and that there are perhaps a few more ve hicles on the roads,’”” Deoyal com mented. X The field agents have been in structed to .look after three other matters, he stated One is to en force payment of the chauffeur’s license of $2 a year, another is .to catch car owners who ‘“‘split” their tags, and the third is to take for cign tags off automobiles if the users® are residents of Georgia. “llnder the law every person emploved who operates a truck or car for an individidal or a corpor ation must pay the $2 chauffeur’s license,” Doyal said, “whether he be a drvier for a funeral director or for a bakery.” As to the split tags, Doyal said many cases were found where the owner of two cars bought one set of tags (two plates), put one on one car and the other on his sec ond automobile. “Some people do not under stand,” Doyal continued, “that the reciprocal agreement - ‘between states ends when they establish themselves as a resident of Geor gia. In that case they can not use the tags of their former states, but mmust obtain Georgia tags.” Under the reciprocal agreement, motorists are allowed to use for eign license plates when visiting in another state. ) ,inss Morel was one of the first riteachers of home economics at G.‘ 1| 8.

Newly Elected Chancellor Of University Succeeds Miss Allie B. Mann MACON, Ga.—(#)—Plans for re organizing the executive board of the Georgia Education association were before the 70th annual con vention of that body as the educa tors prepared to honor Dr. S. V. Sanford by naming him president? Selection of Dr. Sanford, newly elected chancellor of the Univer sity System of Georgia to head the association was decided upon last night. He was the only nominee. Officers will be voted on at today’s session. Two proposals for re-organizing the executive group of the associa tion were ‘advanced. One, by Mrs. R. B. Whitworth of Atlanta, chair man of the resolutions committee, would set up a board of 50 dele gates who would be responsible for planning and carrying out the as sociation’s program. The second, offered by Walter P. Jones, Bibb county school superin tendent, proposed & governing body of from three to four hundred members selected from every school system in the state. The changes were advocated to provide what their sponsors said would be a more democratic and representa tive form of government for the association. 5 Suggestions for improving school systems of the state were expect ed from the resolutions commit tee withheld comment on the reso lution of the superintendents and public school officials association Culbertsons Cinch Victory in Marathon Bridge Encounter NEW YORK — (#) — The 159- rubber bridge battle between the Ely Culbertsons and the Hal Simses comes to its close tonight with the twin mantle of victory already drapedon the shouléers of Ely and Josephine Culbertson. They hold such a lead, over Hal and Dorothy Sims that nothing short of vulnerable grand slams in each of the six remaining rubbers of the match would bring the Sim ses out on top. Sims entertains no hope that such a bridge miracle will come to pass. At the end of the 144th rubber last night, the <Culbertson lead amounted to 13,970 points which mears that the Simses would have to average a plus of 1,400 points on each of the remaining rubbers to win. “How do you feel, Hal?” asked Culbertson at the close of last night’s play. “l won't deny it, Ely,” replied Sims. “I feel terrible.” “I'm so glad te hear it,” said Culbertson merrily. Although Culbertson professed to havé some fear he might be de feated, he was obviously elated that vietory was definitely within his grasp. The Culbertsons have a total of 121,600 points to 107,630 for their opponents. The rubber score lis 79 to 67, ek L Athens, Ca., Friday, April 12, 1935, By PERRY W.

DREWRY 15 SPEAKER AT LS.O. CONGRESS Head of University Jour nalism School Discusses Value of Courses BATON ROUGE, La. — #) — Value of courses in journalism as the basis of a “good liberal educa- tion” was discussed today by John E. Drewry, director of the Henry W. 'Grady School of Journalism at the Univedsity of Georgia and for mer president of the American As sociation of Teachers of Journal ism. . Professor Drewry, a speaKker on the program today of the South western Journalism Congress at Louisiana State University, said in an address prepared for delivery to the convention that while schogcls of journalism “are, of course, pri= marily concerned with the educa tion and training of recruits for the fourth estate,” their courses also are wvaluable “in several other di rections.” “Requiring less science and lan guage than the straight Bachelor of Arts degree, the journalism cour se is sufficiently flexible to permit the student «to take a major in English, history, psychology, etc., in addition to that in journalism.” He added 'that “the journalism de gree, therefore, makes possible a broad cultural and professional education, which should be valuable in any work calling for a know ledge of journalism and contem porary affairs.” ’ ee e it M iAO 5 AN, 3RO SR S LOCAL WEATHER e e ity e e e ——— e— e .

Dr. H. B. Hodgson pre sided over the meeting and intro duced prominent Legionnaires, and Miss Moina Michael, Georgia's im ortal “poppy lady”. De Lacey Allen, state depart ment commander, the principal speaker for the occasion, urged an effort be made to take the profit out of war and also voiced appro val of a policy of Americanism— and the stamping out of communis tic propaganda. “We favor a program of adequate defense,” he asserted, “However, the Leglon is fighting to take the profit out of war”. Hits Communism He further called attention to the Communistic matter being cir culated in schools and urged the people to take motice of these ac tivities and stamp them out. “The Legion,” he emphasized, “is throwing its full strength behind the move to provide better teach ers and longér school terms for backwoods children.” In doing this he declared that better conditions ag to teachers and duration of school terms meant more advantages for build ing character in the youth in the schools—for “therein lies the hope of Georgia.” He also said he believed payment of the bonus would bring about general prosperity instead of be ing a burden. Maijor Walter Whitehead, of (Continued On Page Five) Idea of Woman for Vice President Being Talked in Capital WASHINGTON — ® — T h e idea of a woman vice president of the United States is cropping up in conversation among capital femin ists. But many of the women leaders who have been through politieal battles seent to agree with Mrs. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt that the time may not be ripe for such a move. The League of Wpmen President and Vice President, a Brooklyn or ganization, recently tossed two names into the discussion as pos sibilities—Judge Florence E. Al len, of Cleveland and Miss Josephine Roche, assistant secretary of the treasury. Neither approved. Later the name of Ruth Bryan Owen, minister to Denmark, began to be heard in the conversational buzz. She was to far away even to hear it. But people in her lec ture audiences have often lingered afterward to tell her that if she'd been born a boy, she'd stand a good chanve of winning the prize her father three times missed.

FUNDS State Likely to Get Money For Schools, Despite Re port to Contrary ATLANTA, Ga,—{({P)—Despite a statement by Harry L. Hopkins that “I've said all I want to” about the school situation in Georgia, published reports from Washington today said a special board to administer federal funds in the state, including advances for the public schools, would be named shortly by the federal re lief administrator. It was understood a four-mem ber board would be appointed to administer all funds which may be allocated to Georgia under the $4,%880,000,090 work-relief program. Hopkins was said to have al ready conferred with members of the Georgia delegation in congress regarding the personnel of the new board. : The reports said it was indicat ed the relief administrator plans to grant a request for an addi tional slice of federal money of more than $2,000,000 for the com mon school:. Previously Hopkins said Georgia should “think aboat its own school children a little DL State Superintendent of Secnools M. D. Collins has been in Wash ington several days endeavoring to negotiate a deal with the relief administration for the school funds and today said he was still hopeful of obtaining the money. Both Hopkins and Alan John stone, southern field representa tive of the relief administration, denied a statement attributed to the latter that it was, Hopkins' position that the Georgia legisla ture should be called into special session and provide additional revenue for the schools before re lief aid would be forthcoming. Under the new set-up reported under consideration for the state, Miss Gay B. Shepperson, Georgia relief administrator, would re main in charge of direct relief work with other phases of the general program placed in the hands of the special board. School money from the govern ment would be disbursed directly by the federal agency instead of the school superintendent as here tofore. The new board would serve in an advisory capacity similar to Public Works board, now out of existence, but with more supervis ory authority over projects adopt ed by the state. Johnstone has estimated Geor gia’s share of the huge federal fund would be upward of $90,000,- 000, g Reminded at his press confer ence yesterday of ‘Governor Tal madge’s statement earlier in the week that the country would be better off if he would resign, Hop kins said he had no comment. Differences over policies of the relief administration have result ed in pointed verbal exchanges between Hopkins and the gover nor.
