Fa;meotMarl;et f{ogd I;rof;osal Wins Support In Washington
COUNTIES WOULD BE

10 BUILD ROADS
Rep. Vinson s Reportedl
Favoring Allotment of |
Money to Counties |
MOVEMENT CROWING
State Highway Debt of
$26,000,000 to Coun
ties Is Cited
Movement for use of Georgia’s;
share of the federal highway re-I
lief tunds, amounting to $19,000,- |
000 to build farm-to-market roads‘
is receiving strong support in
Washington, it is indicated in de
velopments of the last twenty
four hours.
According to latest information
from Washington, Congressman
Carl Vinson, in whose district the
Bal¥s Ferry bridge project is lo
cated, has decided to urge the fed
eral bureau of roads to use the
huge fund, now tied up because
of a controversy between Gover
nor Talmadge and the Roosevelt
administration, to build farm-to
market roads.
It is known that county com
missioners throughout the state
are very much in favor of the
$19,000,000 fund being allocated’
directly to the counties for farm
to-market roads. I
The board of governors of thel
Georgia Association of (‘,ountyl
Commissioners meets in Atlanta
within the next two weeks, if not
before, to act on the proposal.
Sentiment in favor of the plan
is being heightened particularly in
view of the fact . that the ,sta,te'
highway board owes the counties
$26,000,000 for which the counties
went intr debt in order to build
state roaos in the early days of
the highway construction program.
It is said that the Roosevelt ad
ministration apparently favors use
of the money in this way by di
rect appropriation to the counties,
in view of the fact that Governor
Talmadge will not agree to vari
ous compromise offers which have
recently been made for the pur
pose of releasing the money.
Senator David Atkinson of the
Savannah district, returning,from"
Washington a few days ago, éle-|
clared Washington authorities
seem favorable to allgcating thel
funds direct to the counties andl
predicted that that course will be
followed. Senator Atkinson saidl
that if the money is allocated to
the counties possibility of its be-!

Work on Boulder Dam is almost at a standstill since labor disaffection has spread through most of
the crafts employed on the mammoth project. With a majority of the 1600 normally employed al
ready idle, union machinists walked off the job, with truck drivers threatening to follow unless given
assurance of a wage adjustment, The crest of the dam is strikingly shown above, with the roadway,
across the top which soon will be open to the public. This will afford a good route from Las Vegas,

Senate Lobby Committee
Calls on Carpenter
For Testimony.
WASHINGTON —(A)— Admin
istration forces moved today for
quick passage of the omnibus
banking bill giving a reorganized
federal reserve board majority con
trol over credit. The leaders pre
dicted defeat for the Nye amend
ment to set up a government cen
tral bank. ’
The house was in recess today,
but there was plenty for members
to think about. For one thing,
the future of the Wheeler-Rayburn
utilities bill remained in doubt as
house and senate conferees fretted
over the question of allowing ad
ministration aides to sit in on the
conference.

ed for further testimony from

condenmed on the other. The

to raise between $150,000,000 and

The advocates of a balanced
budget and the left-wing share-the
wealth men found the plan unsat

committee had followed a middle

JEWEL DETEGTIVE'S
CASE GOES T 0 JURY
Final Evidence Heard Yes
terday; Court’s Instruc
tions Given Today
NEW YORK — (#) — A federal
jury had only to hear the court's
instructions today before deciding
if Noel Scaffa, jewel detective, per
pured himself when he told a grand
jury about the return of Mrs. Mar
garet Hawkesworth Bell’s $183,000
worth of stolen jewels.
Scaffa’s attorney, George Z.
Medalie, told the jury yesterday
that his client was the victim of
professicnal jealousy on the part
of Florida police and federal
agents,
“This job of all jobs by the De
partment of Justice agents is an
absolute bungle, and it will remain
one even if Scaffa is sent to jail,”
Medalie said in his summation.
The defense presented no evi
dence, ’
J. Howard Carter, assistant Unit
ed States attorney, contended that
Scaffa, recovered the jewelg from
some, racketeer or racketeers in
New York.
“Return of the jewelry in Florida
was planned by Scaffa to make
himself a big shot among the Flor
ida police,” he argued.
Mrs, Bell's jewels were seized in
a robbery at the Miami-Biltmore
hotel in Miami last January and
returned in March. Scaffa told a
federal grand jury the ejwels were
recovered in Miami. .
Henry Glidden, representative of
Lloyd’s, insurance firm, testified
in the trial that the jewels were
delivered to him in New York prior
to the purported recovery in Miami,
