WRIGHT ATTACKS NEW DEAL FORTSONDEFENDSIT IN ATLANTA SPEECHES
Athens Jurist and Rome
Attorney Discuss
Opposite Views
Crowd of Several Hundred
Hears Speeches on Roof
Of Ansley Hotel
BY DAN MAGILL
ATLANTA —(Speclal)—President
Roosevelt’s New Deal was viewed
on one the one hand here Satur
day night as a drag upon industry
and upon the other as a boon to
agriculture.
Describing himself as an inde
pendent in politics, Graham Wright
of Rome, retiring president of the
Georgia Bar association, assailed
the Roosevelt administration for
pursuing policies which he said
have closed cotton mills;” thrown
people out of work, raised taxes,
fosters un-American, socialistic
objectives and is departing from
the ways of democracy.
Judge Blanton Fortson of Athens
upheld the president’s policies
which he maintaing have doubled
the farmers’ income and placed
agriculture on a parity with in
dustry by giving the farmer the
processing tax to match the manu
facturer’'s tariff.
“Effort to Destroy”
Mr. Wright charged “that a large
part of the regimentation of in
dustry, under the guise.of human
ity and recovery, is in truth and
in fact an effort to destroy in
dustry in the south, to relegate the
south to a state of an industrial
dependent.”
Judge Fortson asserted that the
Roosevelt administration has aided
the soufhi-and is thefirst Isince the
foundation of the republic to give
the farmer “a seat at the :first
table.” ¢
‘While the boast is made, he said,
that “America has achieved the
highest standard of living of any
nation in the world’s history,” pri
or to adoption of the Roosevelt
agricultural policies, the south
“has been the poorest section in
the nation; poorer than a number
of other countries throughout the
world.”
Defends Regulation

eral regulation of agriculture to
give the farmer economic benefits

Possibility of Carrying In

By RICHARD L. TURNER
Assqciated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON—(#)—A continu
ation of the power lobby investi
gation inte the early stages of the
1936 campaign was revealed Sat
urday as a strong probability.
With the bitter controversy over
abolition or regulation of public
utility holding companies expected
by many to furnish a major cam-
paign -issue, importance was at
tached to this development,
Members of the senate lobby
committee, it was learned, expect
to hold few hearings during the
coming four-month congressional
recess, but will resume in earnest
when congress reconvenes in early
January.
' Thus, the publication of this in
formation through hearings will
come at a time when the precon
vention campaigns are at their
height. In addition congress may
be wrestling again with the hold
ing company abolition issue.
The committee expects to devote
all next week to questioning How
ard C. Hopson, kingpin of the As
sociated. Gas and Electric company
which borrowed a million dollars
with which to fight the adminis
tration utility bill.
Ite members expect to bring out
information on his activities in di
recting associated’s far-flung bat

telegraph and telephbhe from 2

A final effort is planned for
early in the week to bring the con
