Sheriff Watkins, of Ogle
thorpe Reports Gaines
Admits Crime
ANOTHER ARRESTED
Gaines Implicates Negro
By Name of Melvin
Hood, Says Sheriff
LEXINGTON, Ga.—(Special.)—
Semmie Gaines, a Negre ex-con
vict, confined in Fulton county
tower in connection with the
deaths of Mrs. G. C. Goolsby and
her daughter, Miss Nettie Gools
by, has confessed to taking part
in the assault on the two women
and implicated Melvin Hood, an
other Negro, Sheriff T. E. Wat
kins said Saturday. !
Hood was arrested Friday and
is held in Fulton tower on sus
picion, pending the outcome of
an investigation of Gaines’ story
to Sheriff Watkins. Gaines claims
he attacked one of the women and
Hood attacked the other. It is
said robbery was the motive.
The sheriff obtained Gaines'
confession Thursday. He said he
saw Gaines in the tower two
weeks ago when the Negro told
him to come back to see him, in
dicating he would give a state
ment about the attack on the
two women which resulted in
their deaths in an Athens hospital
a few days after they were as
saulted.
Sheriff Watkins said when he
went back to see Gaines, the Ne
gro admitted taking part in the
erime and implicated Hood. Hood
denies he was in any way con
nected with the crime and inves
tigations so far have failed to
substantiate Gaines’ claim that
Hood accompanied him to the
home of the two women and help
ed him beat them into insensibil
ity. x
Gaines was arrested within 48
hours after someone had entered

“Constitutional Issue’’ Assumes
Greater Prominence In Politics
By EDWARD J. DUFFY
Associated Press Staff Writer.
WASHINGTON.—~(#)—The pro
jected “constitutional issue” as
sumed formidable prominence in
political calculations over t‘he
week-end. 4
New Deal readiness to battle on
it, if necessary to perpetuate poli
cies of the past two years, be
came virtually unquestioned in
view of current developments.
“Economic self - government”
emerged as a possible slogan in
1936, should additional basic
Roosevelt enactments meet the
doom of NRA.
Used By Wallace
The' phrase was used by Secre
tary Wallace, just after the AAA
and the TVA had lost and won
respectively in appeals courts, in
a Seattle speech attesting the
depth of administration determi
nation. :
| Many economic problems are
national, he remiaded, :
For the first time by so high
‘an official, Wallace showed the
New Deal wants 'wide debates on
“the issue being drawn” without
waiting on Supreme court decis
ions, that it does not hold the
constitution sacrosanct, and
counts on farm and labor support

Skepticism within the Demo
cratiec majorities over the govern
mental and political soundness
was apparent.
Curtailment Advised
Only this week, as related pri
vately in a strategic congressional
quarter, the President was ad
vised to begin curtailment of fed
eral authority, on grounds that
the “emergency” had passed. He
listened attentively, it was said,
expressed thanks but added that
his mind was unchanged.
Previous similar counsel from
the opposition had been ignored.
This latest was from a Demo
cratic states’ rights source.
It came at a time when the ad
ministration was pressing for
greater powers in congress, and
with fair success. The President
evidenced his confidence publicly;
the house voted against adjourn
ment only a day after cheering a
southern Oemocrat’s demand that
it defer the tax bill and “go
home.”

The Atlanta editor, who ar

statement that he advised . the

editor pointed out that, after all,
the money belongs to the federal

Mr. Howell said@ that MacDon

Howell said, refused this.
Then Congressman Vinson, in
whose Idistrict the project lies,
suggested that the governor agree
to starting work on the project in
1937, thus giving counties on
either side opportunity for build
in highways approaching the span.
This, it was said, the governor

HEARING 15 SET DN
FREIGHT RATE FIGHT
Chairman Jud Wilhoit
Characterizes Suit “Fight
For Existence of South’
ATLANTA — () — A “fight for
existence of the South” was the
way Chairman Jud P. Wilhoit Sat
urday characterized his Public
Service commission suit to enjoin
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion from forcing up freight rates
in Georgia.
‘While state attorneys studied the
case, Judge E. Marvin Underwood,
in United States district court, set
August 7 for a hearing.
‘The petition, which seeks to
prevent the federal agency from
setting aside a reduction order on
intrastate clasg rates in Georgia,
will be heard by a three-judge fed
eral court. Arguments will be
made before Judge Underwood,
Judge William H. Barrett of Aug
usta, and Judge Samuel Sibley.
The state is challenging right of
the I. C. C. to regulate freight
rates on class merchandise hauled
between points in Géorgia. |
“Lower rates to remove the exist
ing discrimination that the Geor
gia commission is fighting for are
not intended to be for the state of
Georgia alone,” Wilhoit stated.
~ “We recognize this would be
contrary to best interests of other
southern states. The efforts we
are making are for lower rates
in all the southern states and we
appeal to the people and utilities
commissions in these statés to join
u in the fight”
Meanwhile, railroads serving
Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia
and Nebraska in Washington ask
ed the I. C. C. for permission to
continue for six months, after
September 30 of this year, their
experimental reduction in passen
ger fares by which they hope to
recapture traffic lost to motor‘
transport, |
ment has recognized the home
owners”’, Mr. Bruhn said. “This
recognition is given now as a re
sult of the bank holiday and econ
omic upheaval of 1932 and 1933",
he said.
Mr. Bruhn played a special visit
to Athens to inform shareholdem’
that the local firm had been ap
proved by the United States gov
ernment, to come under Federal
supervision. It is a tribute to the
management of the association,
Mr. Bruhn said. |
Under Federal supervision, ine
vestment up to $5,000 by share
holders is insured against any
loss by the government. There are
four plans for shares in the as
sociation under the Federal act,
namely, instaliment thrift plan,

$1,000,000 special appropriation for i
new buildings in the Univq;qmc’}%

In signing the temporary” res

Informed of the suit, Governor
Eugene Talmadge grinned . broad

Petitioners in the action, who
are members of the executive

Chairman Marion Smith of the
Board of Regents, in a statement
Saturday night said that while he
had no objection to the courts be
ing asked to decide whether the
payment can legally be made he
wished it understood “there is not
and can not be any conflict be
tween the Regents of the Univer

common schools of the state)”
“I do mnot believe,” Chairman
Smith continued, “that there are
any more earnest supporters of
the common schools than * the
members of our board,, = :
“The chancellor of the Tniver
sity System has recently been
elected the president of the ed
ucational association formed by
the teachers in the common
school. The idea of any :confliet
between the schools and the uni
