Illness Hits Cast of
University Play - But
“Show Must Go On”
The show must go on! Although
the jinx almost triumphed in a
University theater cast change
vesterday, Susan Falligant, Al
bany, returned to Athens after an
extended illness to the role for
which she was originally cast in
“Double Door,” when Georgia
T.udolph, Gainesville, was forced
to give up the part.
The misfortune that seems to
hang over the character which
they played, Anne Van Bret, has
manifested itself twice in the
ranks of the theater players. For
the first three weeks of rehearsals
for tonight’s performance, Susan
Falligant played the role until an
attack of flu removed her from
‘the cast.
Cecrgia Rudolph took up where
Miss Falligant left off, but the
jinx dia its work again. Monday
afternoon Miss Rudolph was
Yforced to give up the part because
of illness. .
However, “Double Door” must
go on, so Susan Falligant sped by
train to Athens to do double time
rehearsing at Seney-Stovall thea
ter yesterday and last night as
the group rounded the melodrama
into a finished product for the
initial presentation.
This is the third appearance
Miss Falligant has made on the
University stage. Last spring she
had the lead in “The Royal Fam
ily,” and in mber she played
one of the’ : roles in “Once

Wright Asserts Majorég[
Opinion Confusing But/ ti
Hails Decision = |
Judge Blanton Fortson of Aths
ens defended the right of congress
to use the taxing power of th!
federal government to aid agriculs
ture in an address here last night;
while Graham Wright of Romé
aseerted that “it is no less thal
robhery for a government to tak
from a portion of its citizens b
force and under the guise of tax
ation, the property for which they
have labvored, for the purpose -of
giving the proceeds to others
who are politically powerful.”
Mr. Wright contended that *“if
we are to have a ‘farmer’s tariff,
which. pays the farmer for not
planting his land, then I, for ©ne,
would arise for a lawyer's' tapiff
that would pay ‘me to close my
office ‘and go fishing three days a
week, the tax to be imposed upon
those who resorted to'the courts
for redress of their grievances. 1
am unable to concede, after the
past five years, that the fatmer
or any other profession®or class
is suffering from the depression
more than we lawyers, and we,
too, would like our purchasing
power to be restored by a purs
chase of ogr sub-marginal time
by the govérnment.”
Large Crowd
Judge Fortson and Mr. Wright
addressed a joint meeting of Ath

fending the minority opinion of
the Supreme Court on the AAA

at the Georgian hotel and was
attended by a large number of
out-of-town people and Athen

Hopes Congress Can GCet
“ Enough Revenue From

WASHINGTON.— (#) —Chair
man Doughton (D.-N. C.) of the
house ways and means committee,
said today “it would suit me” if
congress could get enough reve
nue from corporation and “wind
fall” taxes to meet President
Roosevelt's - revenue suggestions
without resorting to processing
levies on farm products.
He told reporters, too, ‘there
might be some reduction” in a
proposed average tax of 33 1-3
percent on undivided corporation
profits for those corprations which
have not built up reserves, Dough
ton said he saw some merit in
giving such corporations a ‘“cush
ion” to fall back on in times of
depression.
As the chairman of the powerful
committee outlined his views, a
sub-committee met again with
treasury experts behind closed
doors to continue its explorations
of methods of meeting the Roose

DONALDSONVILLE, Ga. —4#—
President Roosevelt emerged ‘rium
phant today from a test of strength
against red-suspendered Governor

first presidential primary,
In rural Seminols ijounty in
southwest Georgla, Democratie vot
ers yesterday called for renomina

661 to 120 over his presistent critie.
The result, which is not binding,
brought forth varied comment to
day.
Marion Allen, President Roose
