PEAGE GESTURES OF
MITLERS ADDRESS
HMLED BY NAZIS
All Germans Between 18
And 45 Must Serve
* Year in Army
VARIED REACTIONS
Others See No Gesture of
Peace in Talk Tuesday
By Der Fuehrer
BY A. 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

“fresh eggs” on placards advertis

' “There will be a few protests

pay the extra cost” Mr. Harris
said.

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

WETS LOSE OPENING
GOURT FIGHT TODAY
Fulton Judge Dismisses
Petition to Throw Out
Vote of Three Counties
ATLANTA —(AF)— The wets
today lost their first court attack
on last Wednesday’s repeal elec
tion when Judge John D. Hum
phries dismissed a petition for a
mandamus to prevent the inclus
ion of certain counties in the offi
cial certification of the returns.
The petition was based on the
contention that the returns from
Heard, Talbot and Bryan counties
wera not in the hands of Secretary
of State John Wilson within the
time limit required by the act cail
ing the election.
The petition was filed in behalf
of W. G. Hastings, Atlanta city
| councilman and a leader in the
campaign for repeal. The prohibi
tionists carried the election by a
majority of 243 voteg and Hastings
claimed that if the three counties
questioned had not been included
in the official ecount the majority
would have been in favor of the
| repealists.
“I am of the opinin that the leg
islature did not intend that the
secretary of state should certify to
Governor Talmadge the result of

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!”

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. Route 15, which extends
from the mountains of north Geor
gia to Florida was set on foot here
today by the Clarke County Board
of Commissioners.
At yesterday’s meeting of the
board, Joel A. Wier, secretary of
the chamber of commerce asked
that the bhoard assist in urging
members of congress from the dis
| tricts served by Route 15, to use
!thelr influence toward using some
| of Georgia’s share of the highway
fund to pave the route.
The board authorized Commis
gioner J. H. Griffeth, who is pres

| and Tate Wright, clerk of the
board and seeretary of the associ
ation to write Congressmen Paul
ißrown of the Tenth and Frank

Ilalsn be taken up with citizens all
‘; along the highway with the aim of

! Secretary Wier said that Route
| Fifteen is one of five north-south
highways in Georgla, two of which
are paved. Atlanta is served by
the two routes that are paved. He
| pointed out that Athens and other
| towns along the route will be ben
’uemted to a large extent if the
}highway is paved throughout. The
route from Knoxville to Jackson

HOUSE OVERRIDES VETO
WASHINGTON — (AP.) —
Flaunting President Roosevelt's
personal warning that the Pat
man $2,200,000,000 bonus bill
invited ‘disastrous consequen
ces,” the house thundered the
necessary two-thirds to over
ride his veto today. R
The vote was 322 to 98. .
WASHINGTON — (#) — Presi
dent Roosevelt warned congress. in .
vetoing the Patman bonus bill to- .
day that if enacted into law it would
invite “an ultimate reckoning in un
controllable prices and in the ‘des- .
truction of the value of savings.”
Such a result, he declared in an
unprecedented message he read to
the house and senate “will strike
most cruelly those like the vete;fitfit‘i‘
who seem to be temporarily bene
fitted.”
“The first person injured-by sky
rocketing prices is the man on\fl%g
fixed income,” he said. “Every dis
abled veteran on pension or allow
ance is on a fixed income. This
bill favors the able-bodied veteran
at the expense of the diubled»v'gg%"
eran.” . o Ry
Must Meet Obligations
“Wealth is not created mor is it
more- equitably distributed by this
method. A government, like an in
dividual, must ultimately meel
legitimate obligations out of the
production of wealth by the- labof
of human beings applied to the re«
sources of nature. b owd e
“Hvery country that has attempt,
ed the form of meeting its obliga
tions which is here provided has
suffered disastrous consequences.”
Mr. Roosevelt declared the bene
fits which have been extended: to
veterans might be measured by the
fact that $7,800,000,000 had ‘:oq
spent in behalf of them up to the
end of the last fiscal year, not in
cluding the amounts received by
those on relief. He spoke of “liber
al legislation for disability and for
death compensation” by which, he
said, 1,140,0000 ' men and women
have been benefitted.
“Generous provision has beent
made for hospitalization, vocations
al training and rehabilitation of
veterans,” Mr. Roosevelt declared
