Kiwanis Club Has
Varied Program
At Meeting Today
The ways in which life insur
ance companies safeguard the
funds of 63,000,000 pelicy-holders
by exercising the highest form of
trusteeship through good times
and bad was described today by
R. V. Watterson, vice-president
of The Citizen and Southern Na
tional Bank peiore -ine Kiwanis
Clul>. His speech was part of the
local program on Life Insurance
Week, which is being observed
currently throughout the nation.
“Safety for the funds of policy
he'cers has always been the first
consideration of life insurance ex
executive in whose frust insurance
funds have been placed,” said Mr.
Watterson. “This accounts for
their preference for conservative
investments. The green grass of
quick moving common stocks on
the other side of the fence has not,
and cannot lure your insurance
trustees,
‘““They have seen depressions
come and go. They have witness
ed the results to those seeking
large profits. And, in pursuing
uie.. charted course, they have
met policy maturities through
good times and bad. They have
continved te pay dividends and to
orerate on a small expense mar
gin. They have done this while
making consistently conservative
investments, because such invest
ments, while returning only mod
est earnings, have correspondinglly
sow losses.,
“The average man, with a few
dollars to invest, is likely to seek
quick profits.” continued Mr.
Watterson. “He risks much to
gain mueh and his large gains are
all too frequently offset by heav
ier losses. The stock market rec
ord since 1929 is all the evidence
one needs of this. But during all
this troublesome period, the trus
tees of your life insurance funds
continue' to conduet “business -as
usual,’ With a sound foundation of
investments that were but little
affected. by a temporary depress
ion, so far as ulimate values were
concerned. They continued to lend
you money on your cash values if
vou needed it.
“Toaay with recovery well un
der way, quick profits might be
seized by the life insurance coms
panies if they were inclined to be
opportunists. But such temptation

Carreker Moves to
Make Oil i
Companies
Pay 7% Interest
By GLENN RAMSEY
Asscciated Press Staff Writer.
ATLANTA, Ga.— (#) —Comp
troller General G, B. Carreker
moved today to forCe oil compan
ies which did not pay their gaso
line tax April 20 to pay 7 percent
interest from that date. o
Carreker saild the law requires
payinent of 6§ percent gasoline tax
on March sales by Apr.l 20 and
after that date pay the interest at
7 percent per annum.
He said most of the large com-~
panies would be affected by his
action.. Today he announced the
Standard Ofl company had paid
$284,721.88, Gulf Refining com
pany $253,294.22, The Texas com
pany $160,190.63, and the Sinclair
Refining company $133,282.662 for
March sales,
The official said he was issuing
fi, fas. for the interest against
these and any other companies
which had not paid the tax by
April 20. He did not estimate the
amount of interest due.
Talmadge hag demanded that
three Atlanta banks pay 7 percent
interest on money impounded in
them by court order and paid to
Treasurer J. B. Daniel.
A member of the state law de
partment said the state took the
position that in paying the princi
pal the banks actually had paid
the 7 percent interest and the re
mainder on the prmcipal.
There still is ending in Fulton
Superior court a summary crder
directing ousted Treasurer George
B. Hamilton to appear in cour!?
and show why he should not de
liver the $7,400,000 in state depos
itory bonds to Treasurer Daniel.

ENGLISH KILLER DIEs
ON GALLOWS TODAY
Rmtm Hanged for ''‘Dev
| il's Beef-tub” Slaying of
! Wife and Nurse Maid
MANCHESTER, Eng, — (#) __
Dr. Buck Ruxton died on the gal
lows of the Strangeways jail today
for the “devil’'s beef-tub” slayings
of his wife and a nursemaid.
| Mrs. Viclet Van Der Elst, mili-
tant campaigner against capital
punishment, encounteredr a hostile
reception from a large crowd out
side the jail while the dark, sal
low-skinner physician wasg hanged
for England’s most gruespme crime
since the turn of the century.
Mrs, Van Der Elst, determined
to protest against the execution,
drove up to the jail in a limousine
accompanied by two loud speaker
vans, Police turned back the
trucks, not permitting them to ap
proach the jail.
The crowd pressed about the li
mousine, which drove within 70
yvards of the main gates, shouting,
jeering and hooting.
The 36-year-old Dr. Ruxton was
hanged shortly after 9 a. m. (3 a.
m. E.8.T.)
Fifteen minutes later a black
flag was run up lin the prison
tower in evidence that British jus
tice had exacted its penalty for the
i murder of Mrs, Isabella Ruxton and
lthe killing and dismemberment of
her maid, May Jane Rogerson,
sometime last September.
I Actually, Dr., Ruxton, who desert
{ed his parsee wife in India in 1925
{to come to England, was convicted
and hanged only for the slaying
of the woman he married while
studying in Edinburgh,
, The crown prosecution charged,
however, that he also killed Miss
Rogerson, slashed@ her to bits and
cast both bodies In the “Devil's
Beef-Tub” ravine neéar Moffat, on

CONGRESS PONDERS
OVER TAX SOURCES
Chief Executive Turns to
Congress for Methods of
Raising Necessary Funds
WASHINGTON — (#) — Capito
Hill sources said today President
Roosevelt had informed Senator
!Harr(son. Democrat, Mississippi, it
{is up to congress to determine tax
Imethods of raising the revenue he
has requested.
The chief executive conferred
with Harrison yesterday after the
senate finance committee had in
dicated it favored a revision of the
house bhill to tax corporations on
the basis of their undistributea
profits. g
Harrison, chairman of the com
mittee, would not discusg the con
ference. It was learned however,
the chief executive did not insist
upon the house bill and told Harri
son the important thing in his mind
was to raise $620,000,000 'in per
manent revenue and $500,000,000
through temporary levies.
It had been reported previously
the president would be willing to
accept a bill retalning the present
corporate tax structure with a sur
‘ta.x on undistributed corporate
income. This contrasted with the
|house plan of repealing all existing
}corporate levies and replacing them
i with the undistributed profitg tax.
As this development became
known, increasing the likelihood of
a major revision in the house bill,
lVim President Garner and Senator
Robinson, !the Pemocratic leader,
]called at the White House. The
purpose of their visit, however, wag
not made known immediately.
The finance committee unexpect
‘edly reopened public hearings to

ITALY DELEGATES
ARE “EOING HOME"™
Mussolini Apparently Or
. ‘““
ders Action; Says “No
Ethiopian Empire”
(By the Associated Press)
Italy’s delegates to Geneva, main
taining their “reborn” Afro-Euro
pean empire permits of no League
of Nations meddling, announced
today they were going home,
Baron Pompeo Aloisi, apparently
on orderg from Premier Mussolini,
informed the League secretary
general of his intentions.
Just previously, leading League
council members had drafted a
tacit condemnation of Italy’s an
nexation of Ethiopia. Their resolu
tion, product of a midnight meet
ing at which Italy was not rep
resented, stateg the council needed
time to reflect on a proper course.
Just what the sudden Italian de
cision meant was not lmmediuely'
clear. Even Baron Aloisi, Il Duce'sl
No. 1 diplomat, admitted “I do not!
know.”
Yesterday, following hints thae
Italy would bolt the League rather
than discuss its conquest in the
presence of a council repreuentl-l
tive of Haile Selassie, Aloisi walked
out of the opening council ses-]
sion, |
He declared there was no sover
eignty in Ethiopla save that or
Italy; no government save that of
“Emperor” Vietor Emmanuel, king
of Italy, |
Hence, he said, he could not dis
cuss the matter in the presence of
Wihlde Mariam, “the so-called dele
gate from Ethiopia.” l
In Rome, reliable sources said a
diplomatic break between Italy
and Great Britain could not be
avoided if the British continued to
press for Sanctions at Geneva. |

to London, was reportéd under
orders to try and make Great Brit

PEACE SYMPOSIIM
GET FOR THURSDAY
Dr. RH. Crossfield, Bir
mingham, Ala., to Speak
‘ At Night Session
. Dr. R. H. Crossfield, Eirmings
ham, Ala, will speak Thursday
night at 8 o'clock in Mell auditor
ium on the theme, “Keep America
Out of War.” Dr. Crossfield speaks
at the second session of the Sym
posium on Peace to be featured
on Thursday.
At the first session, to be held
in the University !brary at 4:30
o'clock, Dr. Thomas M. McHatton,
Dr. John Morris and Rev. John
Tate will speak and lead discus
sions on three approaches to peace,
Everybody Is Invited to attend the
sessions,
In connection with the Sympos
ium, It is pointed out that the
peace of the world Is in danger;
that swift international activities
have brought about a crisis that
only emergency action can settle.
The Itallan victory in Ethiopla,
Hitler's sensational sweep across
the Rhineland and Japan’'s activi
ties in North China have made the
peril of war even greater than ever
it is emphasized and fear is felr
that If America stands by and does
‘nothing to insure neutrality ana
peace, the nation will be involvea
,qulckly and with little hope or
imuntainlng peace.
~ In. the light of these facts the
Emergency Peace campaign came
into existence. It asks all who,
