AN ATHENS CHRONICLE Number Twenty-Four Attacks upon the Board of Trus tees of the University of Georgia (Franklin College) in the fall of 1829, in the name of Baptists and Methodists, created considerable excitement and aroused the spirit of sectarianism quite noticeably, But if these newspaper onslaughts against the board and the collegs were really econduected in the in terests of the Baptists and Meth odists, there were many in those denominations who resented their groups being injected into such a fight. One of these was “An Old Geor gia Baptist,”’, who wrote that, “The Baptists as a body are not dissat isfied in this matter,” referring to the charge that the Presbyterians had obtained control of the board of trustees and the faculty, “and 1 strongly suspect that some ene my to us, as a people, jealous of our growing consequence, or want ing our influence for sinister pur poses has gotten up this unseem ly contest for the sake of casting an odium upon us, exciting the jealousy of our Presbyterian breth ren against us, or other bad pur poses—". Might Be Politics The “other bad purposes”, to which “An. Old Georgia Baptist” referred may have been the im pending ~ political fight between Joel Crawford and George R. Gil mer, members of the same faction —the Troup garty—in state poli tics, but at that time opponents for the governorship, to succeed Gov ernor John Forsyth. Gilmer who, by the way, was gupported in this ressful in. the outcome, receiving many votes from the Clarke fac tion. “An Old Georgia Baptist” hoped that the persons about whom he was writing would be “disappoint «d” in their, perhaps, “sinister” designs. “We hope,” he continued, “never to be held up to scorn as the opposers of valuable institu tions, such as we believe the coi lege to be. We view it as an honor to the state. For my part, I ut terly detest this principle of sec tarianism, which has given rise to an excitement 8O disagreeable. Carry it a little farther and you will demolish the institution. . .

MITCHELL MAKES CHARGES [N NOTE TO RODSEVELT Declares That Department Dominated by ‘“‘Special S Interests’ EXPLAINS CONTRACT Cites Leviathan Contract As Working Against Best Interests. . WASHINGTON,—{(#)—Ewing Y. Mitchell, who was remnved last week by President Roosevelt asd assistant secretary of commerce, today opened what he -called a “Fight to a finish” by making public charges against the depart ment, which is headed by Secre tary Roper. He contended that “special in terests” dominate the department. He also criticised a government contract with the United States Lines for the permanent lay-up of the liner Leviathan, a transaction which ke said was consummated by Secretary Roper in March, 1935. The accusations were made in a letter which Mitchell said he sent to President Roosevelt on May 30, after the President had called for his resignation. The reason the President gave for his demand was that he wished to reorganize the transportation service of the gov ernment and desired “for this en larged endeavor a man of large ex ecutive and administrative train ing.” Leviathan Contract Mitchell, who was one of the ori ginal Roosevelt men in Missouri, contended the Leviathan contract was “against the public interest” and that “those interested in the company, prominent among whom are P. A. 8. Franklin, John M, Franklin, Vincent Astor and Ker mit Roosevelt,” stood to benefit by it. Mtitchell said he had written Pre sident Roosevelt saying it had been “stated here in the department” that the contract was made at the President’s direction. “If this is true,” Mitchell's let ter said, “I am satisfied that this action on your part was taken without full knowledge of all the facts and without full knowledge of the damage to the best interests (Continued On Page Eight) Girl Found Dying, Chauffeur Is Held LOS ANGELES.— (P — David Mansell, a chauffeur, was held in technical custody today after he had reported finding a dying girl on a bench in Valentino Park in Hollywood .

Administrator Makes His Annual Report Today to Secretary Wallace. WASHINGTON—(®)—In his an nual report to Secretary Wallace Chester C. Davis, AAA adminis trator, asserted today that restrict ed production will not be the so cial point of a permanent policy for agriculture. The report gave activities of the AAA from February 15 to Decem ber 31, 1934, Davis said that problems of ag ricultural adjustment “have chang ed as the pressure of emergency has lessened,” and declared “there is opportunity now to replace tem porary measures appropriate only to extraordinary conditions, with an agricultural policy looking for ward toward long-view objectives.” Signed Contracts During 1934, he said, more than 3,600,000 adjustment contracts were signed and several hundred thous and other farmers participated in the control programs through mar keting agreements and licenses. “Farmers, it has been clearly demonstrated,” he continued, “can call the centraling powers of gov ernment to assist them in solving their problems and yet adhere to the democratic process on whieh government in this country is founded.” Lasting improvement in welfare of the farmers was said to be “necessarily bound up with in creased production and consump- (Continued On Page Seven) ITALY 15 PUT ON SEMI-WAR Al ROME. —(#)— Italy went on a semi-war basis today, with nearly a million of her men called tc arms and her silver partly nationalized.‘ The pace of departures for east Africa of troops and war materials was speeded up, while the Italo- Ethiopian arbitration commission prepared to meet again. | Ttalian circles expressed beliet‘ that the commission, on which an American is one of Ethiopia’s rep resentatives, would be unable to settle the Italo-Ethiopian borde!'} dispute by peaceful methods. | Il Duce, addressing 7,000 war veterans Sunday from the Collise um, asserted: “These stones are eloquent of the grandeur of Rome achieved through the force of her arms and the wisdom of her laws. “Nothing prevents us from be lieving that these destinies of yes terday will not be those of tomor row.” Men, women and munitions were (Continued On Page Seven) GALLES WITHORAWS FRAOM MEXICD AND (RDER 1S RESTORED Young President Cardenas Assumes Control After Ministers Resign.

F.—General Pluta rco Elias Calles, one-time strong man of Mexico, withdrew from the political scene today, liquidating a five-days’ crisis. The former president, who came into open conflict with President Lazaro Cardenas over economic policies, announced he would de part for the north Tutsday, “leav ing all responsibility for public af fairs to those who have it in their hands.” The young president, in sole power after forcing the resigna tions of his ministers, drove ahead with his drafting of a new gov ernment to be named tonight. It was expected to include ministers considered too radical by Calles. No Further Trouble Competent observers believed that any possibility of armed dis orders passed with the withdrawal of Calles and that no further in cidents would disturb the annual International Rotary conveniion which opened today. It was understood, however, that anti-government groups, in addi tion to Catohlics who paraded 15,- 9§oo strong yesterday, planned to take advantage of the presence of the Rotarians to hold demonstra tions.

The need of adequate training for engineers who are to carry out the vast program of soil erosion control,, rural electrification, and housing, was emphasized at the opening session of the American Society ot Agricultural Engineers at the University of Georgia today.

Another attack upon Georgia's beer law, already under fire in Clarke - Superior court, was being planned today by Solicitor General "H. H, West. Solicitor West was preparing to- May to file an amended answer to an injunction suit brought in the interests of Nick Christakos and Pete Chilivis, Athens bheer dealers which has already raised a series of legal issues involving the death of the law from a practical standpoint. In his amended answer, which he planned to file by tomorrow, Solicitor West is attacking the constitutionality of the section which repeals the bone dry law of 1915. llf his contentions are upheld by the court, it will be illegal to sell beer anywhere in Georgia, it is said. Filed Injunction In their injunction suit, filed by State Senator Lamar C. Rucker and Howell Cobb, Christakos and, Chilivis sought to permanently re strain Solicitor West, or his agents from arresting them for violating the clause in the 1935 beer blil in tended to prohibit the sale of beer within 100 yards of a school cam pus. They obtained a temporary restraining order from Judge Blan ton Fortson and when hearing be gan on the petition for permanent injunction attorneys for the plain tiff attacked the constitutionality of the 100-yard clause. In reply, Solicitor West contend ed that if the 100-yard clause is held unconstitutional the old 3- mile limit will become effective. The 3-mile limit prohibits the sale of alcoholics anywhere within a radius of three miles of a school private or public, or a chyrch. Or iginally, the law applied to rural sections only.
