T. W. REED

A new and highly wvaluable con
tribution to the literay lore of
Athens and this section arrived the
past week when “David Crenshaw
Barrow,” a biography of-the late
peloved Chancellor of the Univer
sity of Georgia, written by Thom
as Walter Reed, registrar of the
University, came from the Mec-
Gregor Company’s presses,
The intimate and feeling story
of the life of Chancellor Barrow
is told in 295 pages in type easily
read. Included are many interest
ing illustrations and several splen
did pictures of the man who was
Joved by so many throughout the
state. Bound in red leatherette
with gold lettering, the volume is
exceedingly attractive. -
For many years Registrar Reed
had the valued opportunity of
close friendship with Chancellor
Barrow and he has made the most
of that friendship, setting forth'the
various sidelights of his character
and efforts with the view, as he
says in ‘the preface, “that those
who never knew him, especially
the young, who, in the schools and
colleges of Georgia, may chance
to read these pages, may come
to a realization of the high ideals
of his life, and the-,flh%” he loved.
with passionate devotion may be
come all the ricHer ip that her
children come to know the story
of his life.” 4 ;
The preface is cloged with the
words: :
“Now that he has passed on and
no longer in ‘the flesh clasps the
hands of those who loved him, it
is a rare pleasure, sweetened by
the sense of spiritual ecommunion,
to swing open on thelr golden
hinges the gates to memory land
and on ‘the printed page recount
some of the deeds and publish
some of the utterances that made
him during his life the best-be- |
loved citizen of Georgia’.
The book is copywrighted 1935‘
and the dedication reads:
“To Albon Williams Reed,
captain of Infantry, 307th Am
munition Train, 88nd Division,
A.E.F., who fought from St.
Mihiel to Sedan and
Henry Lee Jewett Williams,
captain 326th Infantry, 82nd
divisoin, A.E.F.,” who fell in
Flanders Field
Who received thelr education
in the TUniversity of Georgia
under the tutelage- of “Uncle
Dave”
And who illustrated in ‘their
lives many of the virtues that
crowned his life.”
The Banner-Herald will shortly
carry a feature length review of
the hook, which is now on salé
at McGregor's.

stunting aircraft had crashed .into
the Gorky, world’s largest land
plane, a motion picture operator
lost. his head, leaped upbn him
and attempted to strangle him and
pull him away from the controls.
“I lost command of my ship, it
went into a spin, and there was
nothing for me to do but to strike
my companion in the face”, 'the
pilot rsaid. ‘““This treatment finally
calmed him and he slumped into
his seat, remaining still until 1
managed to get out of the spin and
land.”
it was not disclosed whether the
operator filmed the crash in which
49 persons lost their lives before
he became panic-stricken, but no
pictures of the disaster have heen
published. The official motion pic
ture agency declined to say whe
ther it had obtained any pictures.
Rybushkin said@ he heard Ivan
Mikhaeff, one of the Gorky pilots,
warn Pilot Blagin, who was oper
ating the craft which caused the
crash, against stunting before the
plane took off.
“Don’t try any loops,” Mikhaeff
was said to have admonished. “You
would certainly - érash into my
ship.” . 5

GOX 15 COMMENDED
FOR RADIO ADDRESS
Many Telegrams Pour In
to Office of Georgia Rep
resentative in Capital.
By FRANCIS M. LE MAY
WASHINGTON. —(#)—Sugges
tion of a boom for governor behind
Representative Cox of the second
district was seen today in re
sponses trom Georgia to his radio
address calling for public senti
ment to “lash” Governor Talmadge
out of public life for his attacks on
President Roosevelt.
In a stack of commendatory
messages recevied by the Georgia
member, one from Atlanta stated:
“Congratulations on your spech.
It was a mark of statesmanship.
We need you as governor of Geor
gia, instead of Congress.”
Others said Georgia was over
whelmingly for “Roosevelt and
you,” and severely critized Tal
madge. O
But Cox quickly dismissed the
suggestion he might be a candidate
for governor next year, indicating
the whole matter was entirely new
to him. Asked for a statement on
his position, he said: -
‘“I am not thinking about the
governorship of Georgia or any
other office. The people have al
ready been better to me than I
deserve. My chief concern is to
properly discharge my obligation
to them.”
Notwithstanding it was consider
ed not unlikely by persons here
informed on the Georgia Dpolitical
situation that the house member—
suddenly projected into the state
wide spotlight as first of his con
gressional delegation to challenge
directly Talmadge's administration
revolt—might be induced to enter
the gubernatorial race under the

Wainterville Man for Over

BORN IN ATHENS
Led in Development of
Wi interville As Progres
sive Community.
By DAN MAGILL
John Thomas Pittard, 78, whose
influence for more than half a cen
tury was exerted in the interest
of education, agriculture, religion
and the business developmnt of
his county and section died at his
Winterville home yesterday morn
ing.
Mr. Pittard had been in failing
health for several years, but de
spite that impairment he continued
until a short time ago to attend to
his farming affairs and did not
cease his interest in other activi
ties in which he had wielded a
powerful and beneficent influence
for so many years.
Born in Athens, August 7, 1856,
the son of John Franklin and Mary
Ware Pittard, Mr. Pittard received
his education in the schools of the
then small town and county.
While not a college educated man,
he was keenly interested in high-‘
er education and as he a,pproached‘
manhood became one of the best
informed citizens in the county. He
always demonstrtaed an interest in
progressive farming methods and
as a result of his pioneering the
Winterville community earned and
has enjoyed for many years an
outstanding reputation in educa
tion and agriculture.
For several yedrs he was chairs
man of the board of education at
Winterville whose school has been
recoognized throughout the state
as an example of progressive aims
and methods. It was one of the
first schools in the state to es
tablish courses in vocational ag
riculture and many of the grad
uates have gone out into the world
exceptionally well equipped for
the success which they subsequent
ly achieved. The interest of Mr.
Pittard in the young men and
women of his community and in
the school which they attended
was reflected in the gradual de
velopment of a school plant which
was unsurpassed by any commun
ity its size in the state and in the
creation through the years of a
community spirit which was easily

MIS3ING GIAL f 3
FOUND DEAD TODAY
Littie Shirley Evans Is
Thought Accidentally
Buried in Small “Cave.”
By PAT McGRADY
Associated Press Staff Writer
NEW YORK—(®—While police,
Boy Scouts and neighbors beat ad
joining swamplands and reed
grown lots in a two-day search for
8-year-old Shirley Evans, she lay
dead beneath a ton of earth 250
yvards from her home. Her body
was found ‘today buried in a cave
she and her playmates had dug in
a 2 building excavation.
It was found after 10 minutes
of digging, lying against the ce
ment wall of the foundation of an
apartment building under construc
tion.
District Attorney Charles P.
Sullivan, of Queens county, said
the girl was in all likelihood
caught in a landslide. He said
search for a possible assailant will
be continued, however.
Discovery of the body was made
at the suggestion of Taylor Put
ney, jr., history instructor at New
York : university who lives in the
apartment building occupied by
the Evans family at 82-16 Thirty-
Fourth avenue, Jackson Heights.
Putney remembered that his own
6-year-old son, Taylor, had join
ed with other childrep in ‘the dig
ging of the cave Friday afternoon.
The excavatiop is on a vacant
lot formerly used by the neigh
borhood children as a playground.
The child’s mother, Mrs. Pau
line Evans, repeatedly broke into
incoherent references to a Negro
watchman, when told of her child’s
death.
«If it was an accident,” she cried,
“why did that man wave a brick
at me.” * * 4

wealthy, had doubted their child

HOUSE FINDS [T3ELF
BEHIND UPPER BODY
Special Efforts to Be Made
to Rush “Must’ Legisla
tion Into Law.
WASHINGTON. —(#)—TFinding
themselvts behind the senate for
the first time this session, house
Democratic ‘leaders today put on
the pressure for a burst of speed
toward adjournment. ;
Among other things they hoped
to forego lengthy .debate on
“must” and near-“must” bills,
slapping them into the senate in
rapid-fire succession.
This week, however, promised
no particular progress. In the
house, today was set aside for
three score small bills, tomorrow
for a memorial session- in honor
of dead members and Wednesday
for the President’'s appearance to
deliver his veto of the $2,200,000,-
006 bonus bill. Thursday and Fri
day the controversial AAA amend
ments will be brought up.
In the senate, the $460,000,000
navy appropriation bill was on
the immediate schedule. That this
faces opposition was indicated by
a slap Senator Nye (R.-N. D.)
took at it last night. He said “Un
cle Sam is being taken for a ride
by racketeers who are profiting
from these mad national defense
races.” 3
Awaiting floor debate in the
senate are the social security bill
and the bill to abolish utility
holding companies.
A recapitulation showed this‘
standing: of the five “must” ad
ministration bills, the house had
passed banking and social secu
rity; the senate had passed NRA
extension and transportation reg
ulation.
But in the house the utilities
holding company, NRA extension
and transportation bills were still
pending in committees. Only one
of the “must” bills—the omnibus
banking measure—was still in the
