Tsimadge Says Probe Isi
“Hurrah’ to Cover
1 . |
“Tax Spree”’ ;
ATLANTA — (#) — State Audi
tor Tom Wisdom reported today
ormer Governor and Mrs. Eugene
maimadge had sold $12,581.24 worth
of farm products to state agen
cieg during Talmadge's last three
vears in office.
" Wwisdom made public the fi
gures following published reports
that officials of the new state ad
ministration are investigating sales
of heef and pork to the state hos
pitai for insane at Milledgeville.
Asked today for comment on
these reports, Talmadge said:
“ want them to investigate.”
Wwisdom's records said the Tal
madges sold farm products to the
highway department, as well as to
the hospital. The highway depart
ent operates a number of Drison
amps in the state.
Talmadge called the investiga
tion a “hurrah” by ‘“the capito]
crowd” which he said was “an ef
fort to make the public forget” the
“tax gpree” and ‘“‘doubling” of state
gppropriations by the administra
tion of his succeszor, Gov. E. 'D.
Rivers,
The former governor added he
had sold two cars of hogs and one
car of cattle to tne state hospital
since he has become a “Drivate
cdtizen,” Talmadge a¢ .:«d a pub
lished statement that the recent
gales were made w=¢ higher than
prevailing market prices.
Auditor Wisdom said records
were made of the previous trans
actions in the course of regular
audits of the stare hospital and
highway department. and the mar
ket price at the houspital and high
way department, and the market
prices at the time of the sales were
checked. One of the previous sal
e, was regarded as above the mar
ket price, but the former gover
ror claimed that it was because
his stock was “seatl fed” instead
of pasture fed, and therefore com
manded a higher price.

ing sales to the state departments:

ithought of that myself if they'd

That's the way things went also
with the Community*Gonoert-dcu.
It really was absurdly simple, once
iyou thought of it. But it took 10
{years of heart breaking experien

l For more than two decadeg Boise
literally starved for music. Every

Pittsburgh Federal Judge
~ Grants Temporary Re
| staining Order ‘
| HEARING MAY T7th
Attorney General Cum
mings Restrained From
| Prosecuting Suit
,' PITTEBURGH. —(®P)— [Fedaral
Judge ‘Robery M. Gibson granted
a temporary restraining order to
day halting the government from
prosecuting -an - anti-trust suit
againsy the Aluminum Company
of America in the southern district
of New York.
Judge Gibson granted a rule
against Attorney General Homer
8. Cummings and hig assistants
lto ghow cause why the restraining
order shoulg not be continued and
a preliminary injunction granted.
The rule was returnable May 7,
The action en‘oins the govern
ment from prosecuting the anti-l
trust suit outside of the Pitts- |
Ihurgh district court,
It wag granied on petition of
Aluminum Company attorneys to
preserve the jurisdiction in Pitts
| burgh where a previous suit was
filed in 1912. The attorneys con-
Ite‘nded the earlier action “parallels
‘in detail the suit filed a few
davs ago"
The petition set fortn that the
original suit of 1912 “weg follow -
ed by a consent decree entered
June 7, 1912, the terms of which
|the company has been obaervlnzl
for the past 25 years, and which
is still in force and effect.” ’
C. C. Carr of the Aluminum
company stated: l
“The petition filed today is |
based on the fact that these twnl
suits are identical. I; alleges thatl
it the attorneyv general and his as-]
sistants are permitteg to prosecute
'the suit in New York, the aluml-l
num company and 100 per cent]
subsidiaries ard its officers and
directors will be sibjected to the
peril of two decrees upon the/
same subject matter effective at'
the same time in two wholly indo—i
pendent courts which may conflict
with each othe”
| “The dec’sive action of the
| Aluminum Compar7y means that
the company has no intention of
being further used as a whipping
bhov under untiust accusationg of
undue price-raising, Despite the
‘rice in all other communities, the
price of aluminum has gone up
only five percent. 1
“his is much less than the risel
in other materizls and not enough
to cover the increased costs of pro
'ducing the metal”
The government charged in a 46-
page petition last Friday that thei
comrany’s most recent act of op-‘
pressive and unreasonable price
|."ixing" was its action last March
1 “in advancing the carlot price

HENDAYE, Franco- Spanish

la's insurgent troops occupied de
]'vas(ated Guernica, “sacred city of
’thp basques,” at 11:16 a. m,, today
while the government of the fiifif
que republic strove feverishly to
evacuate 300,000 noncombatants
from RBilbao and pleaded witl;’
world powers to find a haven for
{ them,
Insurgent headquarters at Vito=
rio announced the Guernica occu
pation in a terse official communi®
que, e
I That city, once the Basque capi
tal and the shrine of their proud
and jndepéndent race, lies 20 miles
northeast of Bilbao, behind the
main line of insurgent advance on
Bilbao, the present Basque capital
and industrial stronghold. The
lßasques are fighting for the main
Spanish government. o
i Airplanes laid waste to Guernica
IMonday in hours of attack with
lbom‘bs and machine guns, killing
an estimated 800 persons and lead
ing to bitter recriminations be
tween the Basques and the insur
gents. The Basques asserted Ger
man-made-planes carried out the
"‘masswcre" at ths direction of a
!(“.e’n;;an-lta]y staff; the insurgents
and Berlin hinted the Basques
themselves destroyed the town.
To the south of Guernica, the
main insurgent advance on Bilbao
|ran into a sudden Basque defense
between Durango and Bilbao, 16
milea away,
In Bilbao itself, President Juan
Artonio Aguirre called upon the
I powerg to provide a sanctuary for
his hordes of refugees, but pledged
the fighting men of the Basque re
public to stand firm in defense
of their capital, asking “nothing”
from the world.
The grim defense forces reor
ganized thelr lines less than 16
mileg eact of Bilbao after ap or
erly retreat from Durango. Then
they launched a fierce counter
offensive.
Heavy fighting was reported
jfrom the front- lines at noon,
The defense troops captured two
flags, one of them Italian, took 17
Moorish prisoners and brought
back three Italian soldiers who de
serted,
I Officialg admitted, however, that
the Basques were ip retreat on
other fronts,
The village of Amorebieta, 10
mileg from Bilbao, was bombed by
insurgent plants, but without heavy |
casualties.
The insurgent airfleet twice ap
peared over the village and, after
dropping bombs from a <consider
able altitude, powerdived to 100
feet and turned machine gung loose
on the streets.
