HUBERT OWENS 4
ATLANTA — (#) — Plans for
Leautification of state highways in
(.eorgia were launched today un
der the general direction of the
Giarden Clubs of Georgia.
Mrs. T. H. McHatton, of Athens,
president of the state Garden clubs
and Mrs, J. W. Cole, of Moreland,
chairman of the highway beautifi
cation committee, called upon Gov.
lalmadge and the state highway
hoard yesterday and secured their
ooperation in the work. The high
wav board assigned Hubert Owens
f Athens, a state highway land
cape engineer, to aid in the acti
ities during the present summer.
There is a misapprehension in
Georgia as to our plans for high
way heautification,” Mrs. McHatton
said. “Because we represent the
Giarden clubs many people think
we plan to plant roses or other
owers along all the highways.
That has been tried and does not
ork.
“The thing we want to do is to
emove unsightly signs, ramshackle
buildings. and other eyesores from
the rights of way and sites adja
cent to our main highways. We 3o
not even plan to grade down red
lay banks, but to plant them 'in
ITa wherever possible.
One of our local clubs in south
Georgia has brought about a won
erful improvement in its section
v offering prizes for the greatest
provement in the appearance of
filling stations. They ecan add to
or detract from the appearance of
highways to a great extent.”
Mr McHatton said that all of
he garden clubs in the state and
many other similar organizations
have pledged cooperation in the
campaign.

Columbus Attorney Says
Administration Discrim
inated Against Ceorgia
CARROLLTON, Ga.—(#)—Charg
ing that the federal administra
tion has digeriminated against
Cleorgia. in the matter of reliel
funds for schools, T. Hicks Fort,
Columbus, c<»., a:zvorney, told the
Georgia Press association today
“such conduct” might foster senti
ment for a third party in the
state,
! In a prepared address at the or
ganization’s 49th annual conven
tion he¢re, Fort vigorously urged
the editors to wage a fight for bet
ter schools in Georgia.
He criticized Governor Tal
madge for failure to use his in
fluence to cause the last legisla
lmro to enact laws “which would
have started us on the upward
grade educationally” and said
“Georgia. could well afford to let
some of her other projects wait
awhile until we have done our
duty by the chikdren of this gen
eration,” f
Fort called the “neglected” school
boy of Georgia “her ‘forgotten
Iman'," pointed to the state’s il
literacy rating, and said he “vio
[lently” differed With Governor
!TMmadgeW‘in some of his public
| statements that Georgia’s echooi
!nro good enough.”
| Yle then turned his guns on the
| national administration’s attitude
|in the relier fund for Georgia
| schools situation Paying‘:
“While I disagree with our gov
ernor in some of his attitudes and
utterances as to national policies,
there are some positions _ that 1
heartily agree with him in and 1
say that it comes with the poorest
of grace for those in authority,
particularly Mr. Hopkins (Harry
1.. Hopkins, federal relief and
works progress administrator) te
now penalize the eitizens, and par
ticularly the children, of Gleorgia
in order to strike back at Gover
nor Talmadge.”
Fort charged that “for Mr. Hop
kins to now withhold funds to
which the schools of Ceorgia are
entitled mars him as a vindica
tive partisan and a politician in
stead of a statesman and a great
administrator. It is high time that
Georgia’s representatives and sen
ators assert themselves and carry
their fight over his head and say
that Georgia is no longer to be
discriminated against in such form.
The editors gathered here last
nighy amd Were entertained at 2a
dinner presided over by President
1. S. Ingram of West Georgia

F.D.R. “Back to the
Fold”; Is Skeptical
WASHINGTON — (#) — With
considerable skepticism, Senator
Long, Demoecrat, Louisiana, today
welcomed President Roosevelt “back
to the fold” of his “Share the
Wealth” movement.
| Acclaiming the executive's tax
lmessage, Long told reporters that
“if he'll come along and actually
thust up every big fortune in Am

in 24 hours.”
“But bear in mind,” said the
Kingfish, shaking an admonishing
finger, “the burnt child dreads the

“Im afraid this message today
came so as to turn the public’s
mind from the horrible exposures

sistant secretary of commerce, on
the gifts and bounties ordered by
Mr. Roosevit for the Astors and
their associates.
“T fear thact when the boom over
these exposures subsides, it will
be the end of Mr. Roosevelt's talk
about decentralizing wealth. That's

TAX PLAN {5 RATED
FIRST BY PRESIDENT
Roosevelt Announces He
Will Press Measure Dur
ing 1936 Campaign '
By EDWARD J. DUFFY
Associated Press Staff Writer.
WASHINGTON.— (&) —Asso
ciates of President Roosevelt a{t
the capitol gaid today that the
principle of his vast tax plan
meant most to him of all the New
Deal program, and that he would
press it through the 1936 cam
paign.
These authoritative sources,
who asked 'that their names not
be used, said he had talked with
confidants about it off and on for
some time. They themselves were
taken aback by the suddenness of
the actual message. .
Political - repercussions, empha
sizing the possibility of pronoun
ced party splits, were expected.
Depending on how broadly Mr.
Roosevelt pursues his point, an
issue rivalling constitutional ques-~
tions raised by.the Supreéme coutt
NRA decision might conceivably
result. . f
On the one hand, his suggest
ions for c¢ombatting “unjust con
centration of wealth” appeals es
pecially to the “left” camps in
both parties.
On the other, the recommenda-
Zions that the proposed inherit
ance tax receipts be used to help
balance the budget express an ob
jective in line with conservative
views—though the methods of
seeking the goal are expected to
arouse hot debate.
Representative Snell of New
York, the Republican leader, sum
med up sentiments of more than
one legislator with: “It looks like
the Presilent is trying to get the
Jjump on Huey Long and the
Share-the-Wealth people.”
Senator LaFollette called the
message “splendid” and most
Democrats who would comment
immediately had good words to
say. i
In some anti-administration
quarters it was contended ‘re
form” was deecidedly being put
ahead of “recovery.” Implications
of this for the country, and so for
the major parties, will be watched.
