At takeoff time, he had been en

Administrator of the Estate of
' Mrs. M. L. Kinnebrew,
deceased.
A 8-15-22-29
ATLANTA, Aug. B—(AP)—
The forces of Herman Talmadge
apparently are going aheed with
plans for a separate primary next
summer unless the General As
semply convenes itself and en-~
acts laws forbidding it.
James S. Peters, chairman of
the Talmadge faction democratic
Executive Committee, suggested
yesterday that the legislature
“provide machinery for control
of primary elections and eertifi
cation of nominee.”
His suggestion found ready
endorsement today from House
Speaker Fred Hand, who is at
tempting to summon the legisla
tors back to Atlanta for an edu
cational qualifications amend
ment which, he says, would bar
“illiterates” from the polls.
Hand, commenting on the pos
sibility of two primaries, said the
laws should be amended so that
“Democrats in the State of Geor
gia can decide who are Demo
crats, rather than Washington or
any group seeking political pow
el.”” Then he added:
“In the last Democratic pri
mary, members of the executive
committee were elected in each
county.
“It would be a simple mat
ter to amend the present law to
make it mandatory on the Secre
tary of State to certify on the
Democratic ticket those who be
long to the party receiving au
thority direct from the Demo
crats voling in the last primary.
“Of course”, Hand remarked,
“this method would be very ob
jejctionable to any one who is
trying to usurp the prerogatives
and rights of the true Demo
crats.”
Meanwhile, an administration
supportef, Sen. R. G. Daniell of
Metter, minimized the need for a
special session, saying it was un
necessary either for amending the
constitution or providing educa
tonal qualifications for voters.
“As an official of the Demo
cratic party in Georgia,” Daniell
said “I can say emphatically
there will be but one Democratic
primary in Georgia in 1948,
“I can tell Mr. Hand, for his
information, that this was settled
in Washington when the Demo
cratic National Commitee recog
nized Gov. Thompson as Titular
head of the party, and at Macon
when Democrats of Georgia met
in convention last spring”.
In order to convene itself,
three-fifths of the General As
sembly’s Senate and three-fifths
of its hous¢ must petition the
quemor for a special ses.ion.
There have been four Tresigna
tions from the upper chamber
and seven from the lower, so that
Speaker Hand must receive the
approval of 30 Senators and 197
representatives.
Hand, a Talmadge leader, said
letters to all legislators, asking
their endorsement of a special
session, were mailed yesterday. He
doubted he said, whether any
trend would be indicated until
next week.
In addition to voting require
ments and legislation to block
a double primary, Hand said the
Assembly would be confronted
wtih such problems as taxes, ap
propriations, a comunity proper
ty tax law, rural hospitalization
and rural post roads. "
