Talmadge Proclamation
Sets Up Appropriations
For State Departments
Amounts Not to Exceed
Those of Last Year
Provided in Order.
YEOMANS CONFIRMS
Attorney-General’s Ruling
Accompanies Governor’s
Announcement.
ATLANTA .—(#)—Governor Tal
madge today issued a proclama
tion setting up appropriations for
all state departments for 1936 not
to exceed the amount appropriated
for the year 1935.
“Said amounts so set up shall
be diburssed to such departments,
boards, institutions, bureaus and
agencies of the state,” the proc
lamation said, ‘“upon warrants of
the governor issued pursuant to
approved budgets as now provided
by law.”
Talmadge assumed the “financi
al’ dictatorship” of Georgia ©On
January 1. The legislature of 1935
failed to pass an appropriation bill
and the governor said that when
the legislative branch did not do
its duty it was up to the execu
tive te wperform that duty.
Yeomans in Ruling
Accompafniying the proclamation
was an opinion of Attorney Gen-I
eral M. J. Yeomans. I
The attorney general's ruling
follows:

that the comptroller general will

Latin - American Nations
Indicate General Ap
proval of Conference.
WASHINGTON ~—(P)—President
Roosevelt’s plan for a Pan-Am
erican conference today brought
indications of general approval
among the interested nations.
From Geneva, however, came
word that although officials of the
League of Nations commended the
peace move, there was some anx
jety lest Latin-American nations
might grow less interested in Gen
eva.
The president asked the nations
to meet at Buenog Aires soon “to
determine how the maintenance of
peace among the American repub
lics may best ve safeguarded.”
Some circles here thought the
conference might develop into @
Pan-American “League o¢f Na
tions”. There was no immediate
indication whether such an idea
might meet with favor or disfa
vor among congressional oppon
ents of American adherence to the
Geneva -league.
Senator King (D.-Utah), a Lea
gue of Nations supporter, called
President Roosevelt’'s move “won
derful”. Senator Vandenberg (R.-
Mich.), League foe, asserted there
was “much to be sald for any pro
posal designed to bring the Mon
roe doctrine forward on a coop
erative basis.”
Latin-American diplomatie quar
ters in Buenos Aires expresced
the view that South American
presidents will look sympatheti
cally on the conference suggestion.
Official quarters in Mexico City
indicated the republic will sup
port the idea. President Lazaro
Cardenas was expected to make
known his personal v'lews today
and to reply to the proposal.
Latin American diplomats at
Geneva also welcomed the sugges
tion. One said privately that “we
welcome this conference because
Amerjean republics are increasing-
Iy bound by ties of common inter
est.” ; .

trip tickets to San Francisco as
“A gift” from a contractor in

The proceedings against the
colonel, a veteran of the Phillippine
insurrection and of the Mexican
campdaign and the world war, were
opened to the public, contrary to
the army’s usual custom.
Secretary of War Dern may be
called as a witnesas.
McMillen assembled a battery of
lawyers from private law practice
in Washington and San Francisco
to conduct his defense. In addition,
he has the services of two army
legal experts assigned to represent
him.
The charges against McMullen,
whose residence is Palo Alto,
Calif., grew .out of inquiries con
ducted last year by the house mill
tary afairs subcommittee into army
contracts and expenditure.
Since then, the officer has been
indicted by a grand jury on charges
of accepting fees, in another case,
from a firm lobbying against a tax
bill. Previously, he had been offi
cially rebuked for alleged “scan
dalous action.”
The court martial is limited to
charges connected with the tickets

between Father Charles E. Cough
lin and Representative John J.
O'Connor (D.-N.Y.) flared into
sudden warfare foday, with the
representative threatening to Kkick
his ecritic through the capital's
streets.
The Detroit radio priest called
O’Connor a “servant of the money
changers” while the New Yorker
replied the clergyman was a “dis
grace” to the church.
At istue was the Frazier-Lemke
bill to issue up to $3,000,000,000
in new money and use it to re
finance farm mortgages at easier
terms.
Father Coughlin, demanding pas
sage of the bill, accused O’Conndr
yvesterday of trying to intimidate
legislators intp taking their names
off a petition which is being cir
culated in an effort to force a
vote on the measure.
As chairman of the powerful
house rules committee, O’Connor
had a “strangle-hotd” on the
measure, the clergyman said. He
called on President Roosevelt to
“order” O'Connor to release the
“stranglehold.” :
Father Coughlin declared O'Con

from the committee chairmanship
but “should Nesign his seat in
congress.”
O’Connor was sitting by his ra

ATLANTA—{F}—JaiIs bulged to

'A. Hornsby, who replaced the de
posed Chief T. O, ‘Sturdivant last
week.
~ The drive wag termed the most
fruitful- here in years.
City council prepared to consid
er an ordinance abolishing the post
held by A. Lamar Poole, first as

suspended along with Sturdivant.
Charges of incompetence and in
efficiency are pending against the
two whose trials have been sched
uled’ February 27. ]
Sturdivant als, will be tried on
charges which include the return
of two confiscated liquor cars.
G. Dan Bridges, chairman of the
police committee of city council
which ousted the department
heads, predicted the ordinance
would pa¢s late today. He said
the fight was to end factionalism
in the department.
“City counecil demanded a search

Bridges said, “the committee has
gone to the bottom of these
things and still is engaged in
seeking to place the responsibility
for the conditions we found to ex
ist.” TS

been termed “another racket” by
investigators.

Since 1910 Chapin had i ;,:f'i

Car Company. He was ymed
secretary of commerce by lgzld-‘
dent Hoover in 19382 to succeed
Robert P. Lamont.
He had his first big automo
tive experience in 1901 when he
drove a one-cylinder car on the
first motor trip from Detroit to
New York, 707 miles, carrying
spare parts and doing his own re
pair - work. The trip required
gseven and one-half days and end
ed in mishap when the car skid

One of the difficulties of the trip
came near Syracuse, where a new
tire started a leak, and he halted
every ten miles to reinflate it
with a bicycle pump.
Noting the connection between
good roads and the growth of the
automobile industry, Chapin be

He was attending the Univer

meeting with R. E. Olds, head
of the Oldsmobile company, start

Chapin mentioned he could take

left school immediately, became a
demonstrator, then joined the pro

the basic issue before the Amer= |

But before reaching a final de
