SUGGESTIONS ASKED l

BY EDWARD J. DUFFY 5
WASHINGTON — ) __ Behing|
all the fanfare over their epic vic-|
tory, administration officials are!
at work already on the program to!
be recommended by President Hoo-!
sevelt to the congress that convenes,
two months from today. |
Word has gone down to ma.jorl
departments to submit suggestions
and estimates of their needs. The'
aim, for the present at least, ap
pears to be to fortify the New Deal!
legislatively as it stands rather'
than make surprising departures. |
At the same time the president |
has said “there are a thousand and
Z , |
one things to do. 3
Just what direction the president
will take has become an all-absorb
ing topic of speculation in the
capital. In view of Ris uncom
promising campaign attitude and
the overwhelming vote of confid
ence on Tuesday, no one disputes
that he will cleave to hig objec
tives.
! The extent to which cooperation
can' be’ realized depends, naturally,
| on the nature and scope of the New
| Deal program. For all the demo-
Icra.tic senate and house majori

‘ In the campaign, the president

ago. “The emergency is over,” he

STATE NEWS BRIEFS
" By The Associated Press
ATLANTA .—Counsel for Odie
V. Fluker whose trial on a
charge of killing Eddie Guyol in
April, 1935, - entered the second
day today, revealed plans to pre
sent an alibi in defense of their
client. &
Russell Turner, one of Kluker's
attorneys, said Fluker Knew “ab
solutely nothing” about the death
of Guyol, whom police described,
as a lottery operator, and contend
ed Fluker never had met him and
had no motive to lead him to Kkill
him.
Among the 32 witnesses sworn
by the prosecution was Mrs.
Myrtle Guyol, widow of the slein
man, who had identified Fluker as
the man who shot her husband in
front of their home after saying,
“Eddie, you know you got it com
ing to you.”

’ City council la..syi night ordered

‘erman H. L. Seagraves had pro
tested against taxi cab compani€s
putting signs in spaces to reserve

At the October meeting of coun

permission to reserve three park

city ordinance to place signs in

Chief Weldon Wood, at that
meeting, said taxis were jamming
up traffic near their places of
business because they could not
get parking spaces, and he asked
council to work out some way
whereby spaces would be marked
“for taxi-cabs only”. -
This permission was given, and
