Circulates Petition
ATLANTA, Ga.—(#)—With pe
:{tions as whips, Mayor James L.
ey has launched a one-man
fight to scourge councilmen into
letting him open city liquor stores
regardless of the state dry. law.
“Atlantans want liquor apd they
want the profits which are now
going into the pockets of the
bootleggers to go into the city
treas ury,” the mayor said, ex
plaining his position. :
4 #They want to control the local

of bootleg and moonshine domi
nation of Georgia . politics and
they resent the fact that thirty
north Georgia counties, represent

district, controlled the repeal ref
erendum.” |
" His goal is 10,000 petition sign

' To Return As Huey Lifts Lid
“Kingfish”, Disgusted at
Law Enforcement At
g "
temps, Says ‘“‘Co Ahead
NEW ORLEANS.— () — Gay
New Orleans today prepared for
i the return of its luxurious gam
bling casinos as Senator Huey P.
’Long expressed “dad-gum dis
| gust” over his “purity” drive ef
forts to stop games of chance.
“I don't care, if they've got to
gamble, just so long as they don't
make it the whole institution
around here,” the senator said in
the course of a hilarious three-‘
hour radio speech Wednesday |
night.
The senator “took over” radio
station WDSU at 9 p. m. and for
‘three hours put on an extended en
tertainment program of his songs,
interspersed with political re
marks. He even took time out to
make a personal advertising an
nouncement for a shoe store which
had given him its time on the
air.
“I'll be dad-gum if it ain’'t a
puzzlin’ thing what to do about
the gambling around here,” he
said. “I'm dad-gum disgusted at
trying to police very half-square
and half-house. You can’t close
up gamhling no where where the
peole want to gamble.
“The only thing 1 see to do
now is to have the insane asy
lums moved next door to the
gambling houses so that those
who ec¢ome from the gambling
houses can go right into the asy
lums.”
New Dental Chair Plays Music Into the
Back of Patient’s Head While Dentist’s
Drill Buzzes and Buzzes Merrily Along
BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
(Associated Press Science Editor)
DETROIT — (#) — A new dental
chair which plays music into the
back of a patient’s head while the
drill bores his tooth is being tested
here,
" ‘The music, by traveling through
the bones, masks the grinding noise
and lessens wincing and cringing.
{t is done by a novel use of the
latest bone conduction instruments,
developed originally for the deaf.
Tipped back, the patient’s head
contacts two plates fixed in the
headrest. They are the new sound
bone conduction plates and are at
tached to a phonograph by wires
leading into another room.
No sound is audible to the ears.
But when the head touches the
plates they transmit the music,
clearly and perfectly, through the
bones. ;
Attempts to use music to ease
dental suffering are not new. But
“Looking Ahead” Is
Convention’s Theme
GRIFFIN, Ga.— (&) —Prepara
tions have been completed for the
opening here Friday of the two
day annual convention of the
Georgia Association of Commer

theme “Looking Ahead.”
- With headquarters at Hotel Grif
finn, delegates will pegin register
ing today. The opening session at
9 a. m. tomorrow is to be Dpre
ceded by an informal breakfast
gathering with Jim Hughes of
Cairo as the host.
A feature ,of the convention
will be a talf at the annual ban
quet Saturday night by Governog
Eugene Tagnadge whose subject
will be, “Looking Ahead for Geor

President’s Pet CCC
~ Camp Has Birthday
WARM SPRINGS, Ga. — () —
The Civilian Conservation Corps
camp established here where Pres
ident Roosevelt can see personally
Jjust how it operates on his visits
to his Georgra “White House"
plans to celebrate its second birth
day Friday.
Members of the company, 1429,
commanded by Captain Russell B.
Reynolds of the regular army, will
give a buffet supper, musicale and
dance. Farmal invitations for the
c¢elebration have been issued.
Lights Were Dimmed
The bright lights -of carefree
New Orleans have bcen dimmed
since the momentous political bat
tle last September between Long
and Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley
for control of city affairs. N
Long directed a legislative in
vestigation of the city administra
tion, alleging the city was ram
pant with disorderly houses and
overrun with gambling establish
ments. The lid was clamped
down.
Long’s candidates beat those of
Walmsley after the senator
brought 2,000 national guardsmen
to the city and Mayor Walmsleyl
added to his police force to give
him almost an equal number of
men. A pitched battle impended
for some time.
“If you people don't want the
gambling houses, you needn't ex
pect the state police to come in
and do the policing,” Long said
last night. “We've done our
part.”
Long, whose name has been
mentioned frequently as a e¢es
sible third party candidate for
the presidency next year, gave a
hint of the start of a possible
nationwide tour when he announ
ced he would address a ftri-state
meeting next Sunday afternoon at
Shreveport, La, speaking to lis
teners from Louisiana, Arkansas
and Mississippi.
The senator Wednesday night
continued his attack on the
Roosevelt administration and ie
iferated his Share-the-Wealth
program,
they have been by way of the ears.
Sounds carried through the bones
seem to take precedence over those
entering the ears. TFor this rea
son the bone-conduction music was
tried—to see whether it would be
on a par with the grinding, instead
of secondary.,
The bone music might even take
precedence over the drill noise be
cause of the brain’'s well known
trick of prefering memory of plea
sant rather than unpleasant ex
periences. The brain may also
choose a pleasant rather than an
unpleasant sound, when both ar
rive on a par.
Dr. Allison Haidle, who is experi
menting with the new chair, said
it appears to work best on children,
Their fears seem to disappear.
The chair was designed and in
stalled by the Lansing Radio labo
ratories of Detroit on the idea that
while it would not ease actual
pain it ought to offset nervousness.

ROTARY SPEAKER
“What Is Rotary?” Is the
Subject of Address at
Meeting Here '
By SAM wWOODS
“What is Rotary?” was the sub
ject of a talk given vesterday by

weekly meeting of the local Ro

He was presented by the chair
man of the program committee, J.

organization, but its place in the
community, however, was just as
important to its people as other
organizations striving for the
community's welfare.
Mr. Arnold then discussed the
individual, his attitude under
stress, and methods employed to
combat difficuities. Some men
take the easy way out, while
others suffer, Mr. Arnold said. At
the conclusion of Mr. Arnold’s
talk, Dr. J. C. Wilkinson gave
a brief talk on Rotary matters.
D. Weaver Bridges reported
that a barbecue would be held by
the American Legion June 5 at

munity center on Lumpkin street.
All Rotary members were urged
to attend the ’'cue.
Rabbi Abraham Shusterman

Scout executive meeting, by Pres
ident Claude Chance. Mrs. Fred
J. Ball will have charge of next
Wednesday's program, which will
be in the form of a musical. '

Prince, Princess
®
Of Asturias Once
Ll
More Are in Love
BY MORRIS WATSON
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
NEW YORK — (#) — The Prince
of Asturias was' reconciled with
his wife today on the promenade
deck of the liner Washington.
“Everything is O. K.” said the
former heir to the Spanish throne.
The princess (that’'s what he
called her) streaked aboard the
liner as soon as it docked at Four
teenth street. She threw her arms
about her royal husband and gave
him a resounding kiss. The prince,
inclined to be a little stiff as the
boat made its way up the bay, un
bent in happiness.
* The prince and his wife sat on
a ping-pong table, chatted in
Spanash to each other, and kissed
for the camermen, kissed again for
the movies, and kissed again for
good luck.
The princess was inclined to be
facetious. She told reporters, “say
we will be divorced tomorrow. Go
ahead, say that.”
Then she kissed her prince again.
The pair had been separated isnce
last November.
The prince bears the- official
title Count de Covadonga. His wife
arrived in New York yesterday from |
Miami and registered at the St.
Moritz ‘as the Countess de Cova-l
donga. |
The title was conferred upon him
by his father when the prince
married, and when he was supposed
to have renounced his succession
to the non-existent Spanish throne,}
and the crown princeley title,i
Prince of Asturias. ‘
“I never lost the title,” the slen
der blond youth insisted. “I am
the prince of the Asturias. My
wife, naturally, is the princess of
Asturias.”
