IAIGHT RE-ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF LOGAL
COMMERCE GROUP,
Local Board Also Opposes
Candidacy of Chatta
nooga U.S. Director
IS ANTI-NEW DEAL
Someone More Sympa
thetic With Southern
Interests Proposed
Tate Wright was unanimously
re-elected president of the Athens
Chamber of Commerce by its
board of directors yesterday at a
meeting which recorded the re
fusal of the local organization to
support the candidacy of Thomas
R. Preston, Chattanooga, Tenn.,
banker, for re-election to the board
of the United States Chamber of
Commerce,
Mr. Preston is reported to be
opposed to the policies of the
present Democratic administration
in Washington, and the Jocal
Chamber of Commerce not only
declined to give its vote to him
for re-election but adopted reso
lutiong urging other organizations
in the southeast to support the
candidacy of a person more sym
pathetic with southern interests.
Vice-Presidents
John L. Green and Sam Nick
¢rson were elected vice-presidents
o, the Chamberiof Commerce; M.
N. Tutwiler was elected treasurer.
Joel A. Wier is executive secre-‘
tary of the organization. The
present board of directors, which
met yesterday to name officers is
comprised of the above officers in
addition to L. W. Nelson, B. 8.
Dobbs, Abit Nix, G. V. McCar
gon, C. S. Martin, W. R. Bed
good, L. O. Price, T. A, Gibson,
0. D. Grimeg and Grady Henson.
The refusal of the Athens Cham
ber of Commerce to support the
candidacy of Mr. Preston was
made after Mr. Wright placed be
fore the board correspondence he
has received in connection with
the Chattanooga man’s candidacy
which indicates that he is opposed
to the Roosevelt policies and it is
the contention of the local board
that he should be replaced by
someone interested in legislation
and policies that would be of spe
cial benefit to the south.

Swedish Hospital Unit
Transporting Munitions
~ Declared Captured

i Associated Press Staff Whriter.
. Fascist headquarters at Rome
!today reported a new victory on
the northern Italo-Ethiopian front
and capture of a Swedish hospital
unit asserted to have been trans
-Ipox‘ting munitions on the southern
' battle line.
A communique from Marshal
Pietro Badoglio, commander of the
northern invading forces, said the
Italians were victorious in a new
four-hour engagement on the Eni
trean front.
Five hospital trucks, marked
with Red Cross flags and carry
ing 27 cases of munitions, were
taken at Wadara together with
flags and war drums of Rag Desta
Demtu, the report declared.
From General Rudolfo Grazianl,
Italian commander tdn the south,
came the claim of “success of the
Ganale Doria battle,” which, he
said, was ‘‘due in large measure
to the abnegation of the various
services which worked without
sparing themegelves.”
The Italian “Hell on Wheels”
column, reported victorious in a
smashing southern offensive, push
od eastward from Neghelli, Its im
mediate objective was said to be
an engagement with the army of
Ras Nasibu, governor of Harar.
In another southern sector, Gen
eral Agostini’s . columns were .re
ported to have occupied Malca
Murri, the boundary point on the
British Kenya colony near Ethio
pia and Somaliland.
Marshal Badoglio, analyzing the
recent Fascist drive in the moun
tainous Tembien region around
Makale, predicted continuation of
the offensive during the approach
ing ralny season.
The purpose of the new Italian
offensive, he said, was to prevent
defending forces from breaking
the Fascist lines, smash communi
cations, capture the cities of Adi
grat and Aksum, and nominate the
frontier highways.
“.fv-é;xuf;l_uwif for the attack T

Millions of Americans will celebrate the 1936 Birthday Ball for the
President, but probably none with more gusto than Joseph Lapima,
shown above with Mary Lewis, opera singer. Joe, who for years has
suffered from infantile paralysis, will make his first big public ap
pearance on the night of the ball, Jan. 30th, when he sings before
a swank supper gathering at the Central Park Casino, New York.
Like thousands of other youths throughout the nation, Joe got his
chance through the Birthday Ball, funds from which will be used to
wage nation-wide war on infantile paralysis. Now studying under
the guidance of Miss Lewis, critics say he is destined for & brilliant

NEW YORE-—A 19-year-old boy
will give voeal expression to the
hopes of 200,000 fellow-sufferers
from infantile paralysis as his
share in the 1936 Birthday Ball for
the president here on January 30.
The occasion wiit be the cele
bration held at the Central Park
Casino on the night of the ball, at
which will gather some of the
leading social and business lights
of this metropolis. The boy, Joseph
Lapima, who has suffered from in
fantile paralysis since his early
youth, will sing to the celebrants—
hig first public apearance before
such a distinguished audience and
one that marks completion of a
long struggle against apparently
unsurmountable odds.
Typical of 65,600 parties being
held on the 30th to raise funds for
infantile paralysis sufferers, the
New York party will also advance
young Lapima. on his career as a
singer. He comes to the Casino
ball sponsored by Mary Lewis, the
American singer who rose to
stardom with the Metropolitan
Opera company.
Belleving strongly in the suffer

~ Hard work has filled the boy's
life. Born the son of a poor Italian

But he now pins his aspirations

Over 100,000 Mourners

Of Funeral Today
NATION PAUSES
Final Burial Rites Are
Delayed 33 Minutes by
London Crowd

(Copyright 1936 by the Associated
Press.) 3
WINDSOR, England.—(#)~The
long journey of George V ended
today in the royal vault of St.
George's chapel, the burial crypt
of Great Britain's. kings.
It was a rervice of pomd, cir
cumstance, and sorrow—beginning
with the removal of the body from
its lying-in-state in Westminste
Hall in London and the silent trib
ute of tens of thousands of spec
tators massed along the cortege
route and ending with a simple
burial service.
King George’s body came to
Windsor at 1:08 p. m. 83 min
utes later than scheduled. The gde
lay was in strange contrast te
George's punctuality through life.
The mourning crowds in London
had delayed the passage of the
cortege by that many minutes.
Pause in Silence j
The mation paused in two min
utes .of silence:at 1:30 p. my It
was the moment during which the
coffin was to have been lowered
into the crypt, but the delay of
the cortege set the time of actual
burial later.
From London, the king’s body
was brought by railroad train to
Windsor. One hundred thousand
mourners were assembled along
the mile-and-a-half route from
the railroad station to St. George's
chapel, i 7-1;
An honor guard of tall soldiers
carried the coffin from the train
over a scarlet carpet to the gun
carriage waiting at. the station
door. The procession started its
uphill journey to Windsor Castle.
The bell of curfew tower rang
out across the ancient battle
menis of the royal palace—tolling
for the dead master. B
