AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK p Governor Talmadge’s personal attack upon President Roosevelt, as reported in the press, is the most amazing episode of his rather hectic political career. The gover nor’s antagonism toward the Roosevelt policies is well known, and no one would deny him or any other citizen, for that matter, the right to an individual opinion on matters of governmental policy, in fact, we, ourselves, are not in complete sympathy with all of the new deal processes, but there is such a thing as due regard for the generally accepted amenities of public conduct, and, when these are ignored to the extent with which Gover nor Talmadge is credited, advocaiss of fair play are not only amazed, but find it difficridit to escape a sense of outrage. To charge the President with radicalism is equivalent to crediting the system for which radicals stand with the phenomenal improvement in economic conditions that the past two years have witnessed—in itself a charge that is ludicrous—but to attribute the adminis tration’s alleged shortcomings to a physical infirmity that, anyone with ordinary intelligence knows, has been no handicap to the President in the administration of governmental affairs,—to do thisis, tosaythe least, quite at variance with a conservative conception of statesman like behavior. Indeed, it is quite probable that the aver age man with two perfectly good legs, confronted with the almost insurmountable obstacles that have faced Franklin D. Roosevelt, would have very likely used them in beating a hasty retreat before the dawn of this good day. Not. so with President Roosevelt. He may be some what handicapped in the use of his lower extremities, but if he has, unfortunately, lost his capacity for “walk ing a two by four plank” or “hooting’”’ some official out of office, he is still functioning in the upper story, and while much of the Rooseveltian policy is experimental and is yet to demonstrate its lasting qualities, conditions are rapidly approaching normaley under his leadership, and the American people know that in the White House is a President whose love of humanity, fortified by an astounding grasp of baffling problems and a tenacious determination to solve them will eventuate in complete recovery for this country. In many respects, Governor Talmadge has distingu ished himself for construetive leadership, for which we have commended him in the past, and trust we will have oceasion to do so again in the future, but, like many of his admirers, we deprecate it when misguided judg ment leads him to direct an unwarranted personal at tack on the President of the United States, especially one whose consuming passion is betterment of the con dition of the American people, for the attainment of which he has done more than any other living man.

CALDWELL (Associated Press Staff Writer) ATLANTA — (#) — From poli tical leaders of twe staunch Demo cratic states in the “Solid South” have some criticism of President Roosevelt and threats of a third party movement to add to the din already raving in textile circles over the administration’s cotton processing tax. Governor Eugene Talmadge of Georgia. termed Mr. Roosevelt “a radical in the exftreme form,” fore_ cast a third party ticket next year and announced plans for stumping the cotton belt to denounce pro cessing taxes. The Georgia governor declined to answer questions as to whether he planned to line up politically with Senator Huey P. Long. The Louisiana senator's explos ive statement in Baton Rouge ear lier in the week that Secretary Ickes “counld go slap damn to hell” brought a retort from the PWA ad ministrator that the Louisiana po litical leader was suffering from “halitosis of the intellect.” Long and Tlckes fell out publicly] over legislation which the tm'merl is pushing through the session of his legislature placing the supervi-1 sion of PWA, relivr and other fed eral grants under a board named] by "the state administrator which Long dominates. | Speaking of Ickes, Long had promised that as soon as he gets through with the special legisla~ tive session he will go back to Washington and “nail his ears back” in a senate speech Monday. Georgia and Louisiana citizens also learned through announce ment in Washington by Secretary Ickes that certain PWA undgrtak ings had gone by the board. Four Georgia allotments totalling $210,- 000 had been cancelled and Ickes disapproved of PWA projects in Louisiana amounting to $642,800.

A, R., today—the winner over Dr. Flora Myers Gil lentine, of Chattanooga, Tenn., by a 1,436 to 619 vote, Into office with her in yester day’'s election, her entire slate was swept by large majorities. Back ed by Mrs. Russell William Mag na, president-general for the past three years, the ticket widely re garded as the more “conservative"” triumphed over the “insurgent” slate. ; Mrs. Magna and Mrs. Becker, class-mates years ago at Smith college, embraced like happy school girls when tellers made a near midnight announcement of election results last might. Await Verdict Daughters who had waited for the verdict singing old-time songs lingered or until past one a. m. and marched across the stage of Constitution Hall, shaking hands with the winners. - Mrs, Gillentine, a gporting loser, hurried to the platform a little in advance of the victors, and made a little speech wishing them a happy regime. ” “I had hoped to lead,” she said. “I have seen those hopes go glim mering. But my philosophy has not broken down. Someone has said the test of character is to lose the dream of one's life and mot be em bittered.” 2 She told a humorous southern story of “a darkey who said ‘de feat is what you stands on)” add ing “there are no sour grapes, 1 shall sprinkle them with sugar and they will make good preserves.” Makes Speech Mrs. Becker made a short speech too, telling her ‘“deep appreciation and heart-felt affection” for the Daughters; bespeaking their coop eration; pledging ‘the best of my mind and energy and heart;” giv ing as the keynote of her adminis tration “in large things, unity. In lesser things, tolerance, In all things, charity.” Mrs. Becker's opponent had the open support of her fellow Tenn esseeans, Speaker Byrns and Sec retary bf State Hull, and also of Mrs. Daniel S.

In her mental eye she saw ig norance pushed aside and there came into life the Tallulah Falls school for mountain bhoys and girls who were to push the clods of illiteracy aside and to be given the opportunity to become useful men and women to society. Mrs. Lipscomb had faith in this undertaking. Mrs. Lipscomb had hope for the project. Paul said “Love is greater than Faith and Hope” and it was this God inspired Love which caused the little school to break all bar riers and become a real factor in Georgia’s educational work. Tomorrow is the Silver Anniver sary of the founding of this school.

TALMADGE TEXTILE BLOC AEADY FOR TALK WITH FDR Mass Interview With President Next Week to Bring ‘‘Fireworks” BY DONALD CAMERON (Associatad Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON — () — T h e congressional textile bloc marshal led its arguments today for its mass interview with the president next week, when efforts will be made for immediate action in behalf of the cotton textile industry. Developments yesterday were called’ encouraging by these legis lators. Outstanding was the deci sion of the house ways and means committee to take up soon the question of naming a sub-comm ittee for a study of the entire ques tion of foreign imports. This de cision was taken on the motion of Representative McCormack, Demo crat, Massachusetts, who sald con ditions in the industry warranted an immediate study. Four cabinet members and the chairman of the tariff commission also are serving as a special com mittee to study the teztile situa tion. The secretaries are Hull of the state department, Wiallace of agriculure, Roper of commerce, and Perkins of labor. There was no indication that Wallace's stand for the cotton pro cessing tax had been changed.
