For $5,000 Pending Jury Action RETURNS INVOLVED Government Charges Frau dulent Gin Reports and Failure to Collect Tax Ivy Freeman of Royston, opera tor of a ginnery, today was bound over to a federal grand jury charged with making fraudulent tax returns wunder the Bankhead cotton control law and failure to collect gin tax on fifty-one bales of cotton, The defendanr pested a $5,000 bond, fixed by U. S. Commissioner Sarah K. Hawkins. Government agents closed the Freeman gin yesterday following his arrest. W. G. Cornet:, Athens attorney, who represented the defendant ob- Jected to the bond fixed by the commissioner as “excessive” and “unconstitutional”, but the objec~ tion did not prevail. Government representatives said U. 8. District Attorney Hoyt Davis at Macon had requested that the bonid be not less than $5,000. Mr. Freeman’s case is the first of its kind that has been tried in Georgia, Representatives of the internal revenue office who were here for the trial intimated that others will follow, howevtr. Charges Falsity The government charges that Mr. Freeman made false tax returns of cotton of tihs and last year's crops. : J. H. Carter and J. C. Doyal, cotton warefiousemen of Royston testified as to receipt of the cot ton and produced records to sub stantiate the government’s claim. C. M. Neal, deputy internal reve enue collector and W. E. Perry, who holds a similar, position, also gave testimony in, the case. The former produced records to support the government's claim that Freeman, after ginning the cotton in question, reported that the weight was less than it act ually was, and failed to collect taxes on the full weight. - Freeman entered a denial. The gin tax regulations adopted by congress, in support of the Bankhead cotton control legisla tion, requires that ginners collect a tax on all cotton ginned which is not exempted. Each farmer who signs a cotton control contract is permitted to raise a certain number of bales, based upon a five-year average for the farm ‘involved. Gin crtificates, exempting such cotton from taxation, are issued by the agricultural department. TUn less a bale of cotton is covered by an exemption certificate, the farm er must pay a tax on each pound pbale. Last year the tax was slightly less than six cents per pound. This year it is- six cents per pound. Purpose of Law The gin tax law was enacted by congress to protect farmers who (Continued On Page Five) Georgia Gets 11,623 More Jobs Under WPA WASHINGTON—(®P)—A total of 11,623 jobs have been created in Georgia through the Works Relief program, Harry L.

NORRIS SAYS Veteran Liberal Senator From Nebraska Com ments on Statement STOCK MARKET UP Capitol Hill Democrats Clad President’s Course Is Indicated WASHINGTON — (#) — T h e statement of President Roosevelt, made public today, that the New Deal's “basic program’” had reach ed ‘“substantial completion” and that a “breathing spell” for in ‘dustry is here, was greeted gladly by leaders of his party. Disagreement as to the value of the administration program in busi ness improvement, however, was expressed by opposition leaders. . Assertions similar to the presi dent's had already been made, by some of those familiar with his ideas but they appreciated more public attention would be paid by word from the president himself than what they had said. Boosts Market ! It was noted that the stock mar ket moved quietly higher at the start today. Skepticism wasg evident in some opposition quarters, however, where the New Deal hag been described as hostile to the Constitution it self. In general, some leaders of both parties preferred to withhold detailed public comment for a study of the unusual letter to Roy W, Hdward, publisher of the Scripp- Howard newspapers. | Ever since early in the last ses sion, some Capitol Hill Democrats had been insisting that the time had come for the president to yield some of his extraordinary powers, !granted because of the emergency. | These had said they would be {gratitied by such a statement as { today’s. While it would not mean the president was surrendering the powers he already had, they con | tended, it would have two effects: }First, give assurance that he in | tended to ask fer no more and, second, make if difficult for hlm‘ lto get more authority—which they | opposed—even if he should change | his mind and seek it. | “If it hadn’t been for the New | Deal, recovery would now be much ]further advanced.” remarked Rep-l ,resentative Snell, the Republican, i leader at Potsdam, N.

Dr. Warburton, principal speak er at the luncheon where Secre tary of Agriculture Henry A.

Howard, pub« lisher of the Scripps-Howard news papers, who reported fears of busi ness men and asserjed, “there is need to undg the damage that has been done by misinterpreterg of the New Deal.” / In perhaps his most complete ex position of his administration and his ideas for the future, the presi dent said he claimed no “magician’s wand,” but “we do claim that we have helped to restore that public confidence which now offers so substantial a foundation for our recovery. “I take it,” he wrote, “that we are all not merely geeking but getting the recovery of confidence, not merely the confidence of a small groupn, but that basic confidence on the part of the mass of our popu lation, in the soundness of our economic life and in the honesty and Jjustice of the purposes of itg economic rules and methods,” Howard discarded hostility from “financial racketeers, public ex ploiters, and the sinister forces spawned by special privilege,” but asserted that many business men of “patriotism and sense of public service” belleved the wealth tax bill “revenge on business” and ex pected a ‘“recess from further ex perimentation until the country can recover its losses.” ; Duty to Clarify T Mr. Roosevelt replied that he would disregard “skeptics” and “those actuated by a spirit of po litical partisanship,” but he believ« ed it a “duty to clarify our pur poses” to “critics who are honest and non partisan and who are will ing to discuss and to learn.” ’ Informing Howard that the “brea thing spell” of which he spoke is here, the president stated: “It is a source of great satis- (Continued on Page Five) LOCAL WEATHER P - Fair tonight and Saturday, y slightly cooler in south and PN 3 cxtrem‘o east portions : tonight.
