Athens Jurist Is Lauded As Fine Choice To Speak At State Meet ~ By DAN MAGILL ATLANTA; Ga. — (Special.) — Three outstanding Georgians, Judge Edgar Watkins, Marion Smith and Philip Weltner, Satur day voiced strong approval of the joint discussion on the federal government’s policy toward indus try and agriculture under the re covery program in which Judge Blanton Fortson of Athens and Graham Wright of Rome will take part here next Saturday night under auspices of the Georgia League of Women Voters. While the discussion will, in reality, be a criticism dnd de fense of the constitutional bases of the governmental program which is identified in the popular mind as the “New Deal,” the sub ject is restricted more or less to the relation of the national ad ministration’s policy toward indus try and agriculture. Mr. Wright is an outstanding critic of the major premises of the “New Deal,” while Judge Fortson is equally as vigorous in its de fense. Public reaction to the first an nouncement of the meeting has been enthusiastic and wide spread, recalling to the minds of Roosevelt Makes Reply to Charges of Braswell Deen BY FRANCIS M. LEMAY (A.P. Regional Correspondent) WASHINGTON — (#) — Presi dent Roosevelt cited to Represen tative Deen of Alma, Ga., Saturday reports that when the federal gov ernment came to the aid of Geor gia's distressed rural schools, half a million dollars of state revenues “which should have gone to the support of the schools were divert ed and used to pay off back debts of the state.” The president wrote Deen in re ply to a letter in which the Geor gian charged discrimination against his state in distribution of aid to rural schools by relief fund grants thig year. “Governor Talmadge,” Mr. Roo sevelt said he was advised, “has never made an official application for a special grant for teacher re lief for the schoo! year 1934-35."

Crucial Period Many political historians, it is said, regard the present period as comparable only with the great upheaval over states rights three quarters of a century ago which resulted in a Civil war, while others regard the current nation wide conflict over the political and economic ideas exemplified by the Roosevelt program as of far more importance in connection with the future structure of the federal government and its rela tion to the individual, than was the War Between the States. It is contended that not even did the adoption of the celebrated tariff of 1828 toss into the lap of Georgians so perplexing a prob lem as has the issue, or issues, growing out of the “New Deal.” The tariff of 1828 preceded the beginning of Georgia's textile in dustry.

Members of the house were in formed of the number of stock holders among their constituents, he said, and were told the names and addresses would be furnished if requested. “That is the thing President Roosevelt is going to run up against in the next campaign, especially if he makes an issue of the holding of Jeffersonian democracy.” The governor said the next (Continued On Page Eight) A.

WASHINGTON.— (#) —A pro gressive - conservative coalition took command of the senate fi nance committee Saturday and voted to boost income taxes on even smallest taxpayers, begin nihg at a new low level of SBOO a year. In swift and startling ballots which ripped out major features of President Roosevelt’'s “wealth tax” plan and raised some doubts of the whole bill's future, the senators cut the income tax ex emption for a single person from SI,OOO to SBOO and for a married person from $2,500 to $2,000. Higher Estate Tax Also they sub§tltuted higher es tate taxes for Mr. Roosevelt’s re quested inheritance taxes and made other changes estimated to increase the bill’'s revenue-raising power from the house's $250,000,- 000 to more than $400,000,000.
