D. STEFFERUD (Copyright, 1935, Associated Press) BERLIN — While enthusiastic Nazis acclaimed the peace gestures in Reichsfuehrer Hitler's reichstag address, some skeptical foreign diplomats saw in it today the pro mise of “an unprecedented rearma ment race.” Germans openly found no conflict between der fuehrer’'s declaration to the reichstag that the country “needs and wills peace” and the promulgation a few hours later of a conscription program making possible the largest peace-time army in the nation’s history. In diplomatic and other circles, however, the opinion was neard that “Hitler has offered nothing tangible toward the international peace cause,” except an attempt to justify his course. The motive of trying to allay for eign apprehension to gain sufficient time for fulfillment his arms plans was laid to Hitler by some, Features of Address . Among the features of the ad dress regarded as unusual were: 1. Its rejection of the idea of national assimilation in the face of contintal harping by~ the® Nazi controlled press on the fact that thousands of Germans lived beyond the borders of the fatherland. 2. Its opposition to pacts of mu tual assistance. 1 3. Its obvious attempt to pla cate Italy, France and Austria, while bristling at Russia. 4. Its expressions of interest in preservation of the Locarno treaty. Soon after der fuehrer completed his speech in the Kroll opera house —it required two hours and 14 minutes—the government' issued a law compelling all German males between the ages of 18 and 45 to serve one year in the army. All to Serve The decree provided that “during war every German man and woman will be obliged to serve the father land.” ‘The strength of the army which the conscription system would raise was not divulged. “This new law does not mean that Germany’s army will swell to millions,” the propaganda ministry said. “The minister of defense will enlist persons so far as there are vacancies. The ' often-mentioned figure of from 550,000 to about 600,000 is about average.” Jews will become members of the army only in special circumstances, or in the case of exceptions made by special boards. Jews admitted to the service will not be permitted to become officers. ¢ wGermans with foreign citizenship and Germans living abroad are required to undergo military train ing. The decree named the Reichs fuehrer as the supreme ¢ommander of the armed forces. The tone of Hitler's reichstag ad dress and of the closing remarks of General Hermann Wilhelm Goer ing, minister, of aviation, was that “we have made a real contribution to world peace and now it is up to (Continued on Page Two) | dealer.

FEDERAL-AID ROAD PROGRAN IN GEDRGIA AGAN THREATENED Plans May Be Delayed by Row Between Talmadge And Washington WILBURN REPLIES U. S. Charge Low Salaries Paid Have Driven Out Competent Engineers By FRANCIS M. LE MAY WASHINGTON—(#)—The possi bility developed today that Geor gia’s huge federal-aid road build ing program may be delayed in another row between Governor Talmadge and Washington. = ° A well-informed source said the federal roads bureau 'had deter mined to approve no new road con struction' in the state until the governor brought about greater ef ficiency in the state highway de partment where, it was reported, low salaries had driven cut com petent engineers. Shutdown of Georgia’s road pro gram would clog the flow of §ss,- 000,000 from.the new $4,880,000,000 work-relief fund and other millions vet unexpended from previous PWA road allotments. “Untrained Engineers” The state highway department, said a . federal official who de clined to have his name used, does not have engineers sufficiently trained to guarantee the govern ment good work for its money. No names of engineers were men tioned. Thomas H. MacDonald, roads bureau chief, declined to discuss for publication the bureau position in the matter. Meanwhile, members of the Geor gia house delegation were op the -alert against any possible diserim jnation against various sections of the state in allotment of projects and funds under the road program. The members met and discussed the problem. Several contacted MacDonald. The delicate situation brewing over efficiency in the state depart ment which handles all the actual federal construction work, recalled one of Talmadge's earliest tifts with Washington. Recalled Old Tiff Shortly after he became gover nor he fired the old highway board and called out the national guard to see his action through. The roads bureau in Washington de dlined to recognize his mow board. President Roosevelt was under stood to have given the final de cision which allowed Talmadge's appointees to handle the federal funds. But this was only the beginning (Continued On Page Two) LOCAL WEATHER Mostly cloudy tonight and Thursday, possibly light local portions Thursday, not much showers in West and North change in temperature. b TEMPERATURE Highest. ..o sens ssss ssoes.3o.o LOWeBEt. ..

[N PROVIDENGE SPEECH Covernor Continues Tour With Address Before Rotary Club MAKES SAME CHARGE Offers Six-Point Program To Bring Back Sound Covernment PROVIDENCE, R. I.—{#)—Gov ernor Eugene Talmadge of Geor gia, who has repeatedly denounced the Roosevelt administration, of fers a six-point program by which he says the democratic party could returi” to a “sound, democratic form of government.” In an address here before the Providence Rotary elub, Governor Talmadge attacked the brain trusting crowd in Washington” and offered this program: 1. Abolition of the NRA, which, he said, has been responsible for more unemployment and economic distress than any other single fea ture of the New leal program. 2. Abolition of (he AAA, “which has strangled the textile industry and embittered farmers who havt been forced to cease working for a living and to accept an ephemeral check to pay their board bill.” 3. Abolition of all “alphabetical agencies which compete with and obstruct private business initia tive. Fulfill Promises 4. Fulfillment of promises, made in pre-campaign speeches of dem ocratic candidate, to eliminate un necessary and costly governmental bureaus and departments and there by reduce the cost of government 5. As a consequence, reduce tax es 50 per cent. ! g 6. Pay the soldiers bonus out of the $4,000,000,000 relief fund, since it can be “better used that way than to strengthep the Demo eraie party’s hold upon the nation’s vote.” Governor Talmadge charged that the administration's agricultura) production curtailment program is “furnishing jobs to millions of for eigners.” ° “71‘—!{e"'recent farmers meeting in Washington came in for the gov ernor’'s barbs. : . “TPhey (administration leaders) are turning to a policy of bribery —hiring anyone who will preach their false propaganda—having the mockery of seeing that the farmers lay their plow handles down and come to Washington to brag on this era of scarcity and destruc tion,” the governor said. “Parmers stopping work and trailing off to Washipgton in the middle of May!” COMMISSIONERS T 0 ASK ROUTE 15 AID Consider New Proposal for Negro Ward at' Athens Ceneral Hospital i A movement to obtain part of Georgia’s $20,000,000 federal high way fund for the purpose of pave ing U. 8.
