Approximately 15,000 “Iris City”
stamps have been bought by Ath
ens business concerns and indi
viduals since the Tallulah Falls

More than 150 different concerns
and individuals have bought the

pany, Miss Mary Gerdine, Mrs.
Walter Bishop, Mrs. T. H. Me-
Hatton and Louis Cole.
An inquiry has reached the Cir

them has been made in view of
the fact that that city is inter
ested in advertising its commun

The purpose of sale of the
stamps is to advertise Athens

CHICAGO — (&) — Airplanes
and dynamite sped food and fuel to
starving prisoners of the snow in
the northwest Saturday night as
zero cold sank deeper into the

Pleas for “pretty quick” aid from
a dozen towns hurried ski-equip

The ships could carry only light

and Fairpoint—were in a critical
plight when the first ski-ship visit

Mr. Matthiesen, who visited
Leibowitz in New York City Fri
day, said he would go with the
lawyer to the death house at 2 p.

his New York visit, except to say
he talked with leibowitz.

Malmadge told newsmen he is

“Go see if it is honored at the

The state treasurer honored the
warrant. He wmarked the warrant

Hamilton was told the governor
said the withdrawal was of 1936
funds and that Friday’'s warrant
for the public service commission
also was 1936 money,
“That’s incorrect,” Hamilton
said, adding:
“Note. here on the warrant. It

Central and South Ameri

Personal Letters
- BY STANLEY P. RICHARDSON
(Associated Press Staff Wiiter) ‘
WASHINGTON— (® -—President‘
Roosevelt Saturday night uncover
ed a proposal for an extraordinary
inter- American conference, en
compassing twenty Central agd
South American governments and
aimed “at permanent peace on this
western continent.” |
In almost identical personal let

republics, the chief executive sus-{
gested that the parley be held at{
Buenos Aires, Argentina, at an
early date. The cause of peace
in the new world, he said, is a mat
ter of “vital concern.” 4
“The steps, furthermore,” he sajdl‘
“would advance the cause of world
peace, inasmuch as the agreements
which might be reached would sup
plement and reinforce the efforts
of the League of Nations and ot]
all other existing or future peace
agencies in seeking to prevent
war,” |
A favorable response to Mr.
{Roosevelt’s guggestion was gener
ally conceded. In fact, the stag
ing of such a peace parley was
virtually guaranteed in advance
through informal soundings by the
state department.
The entire procedure, however,
was extraordinary. The executive’s
action in writing a direct letter to
the heads of governmentg rather
than moving through customary
diplomatic channels, and hls as
