At Memphis, the downtown area felt the shock. at Tip tonville, in northwest Tennes see near the Missouri line, Jack W.

The general area of the tre mors was in the same locality affected by the quakes of 1811 and 1812 which created Reelfoot Lake near Tipton ville. Secret Ballot Bill Heads House Agenda ATLANTA, Jan. 14 — (AP)—A bill to make the Australian secret ballot mandatory in every Georgia election was introduced in the House today by Rep. Greer of Lanier. Under present laws, a secret bal lot is used only when specified by a county grand jury. Lanier said less than half of the state’s 159 counties employ the secret ballot. “This is deplorable,” he said, “it is a shame to the state of Georgia.” Another new measure would re quire a five day waiting period between the issuance of a marriage license and the wedding ceremony. It was proposed by Rep. Davis of Dougherty. Another measure is expected to be introduced later which would require a compulsory health exam ination before marriage licenses could be issued. The House State of the Republic Committee favorably reported a group of administration bills, ciearing the path for action next week. The bills included a re tirement plan for the State High way Patrol and other state agen cies under the merit systern, an enabling act for the state to con tribute $3,000,000 annually to a $9,000,000 rural hospital program, a bill preevnting the staté revenue commissioner from holding an elective office one year before or after his term, and a bill to raise the salary of the Highway Patrol Commander from $4,800 to $6,000.

It’s been a tough 13 days for much of the country — particular ly in the western half. An Associated Press survey showed today at least 123 persons died in the nation since Jan.l be cause of bad weather conditions.

Marshall who retires Jan uary 20. But the Senate first must confirim the appoint ment. A jam-packed public hearing yesterday listened to Acheson de ny that he was a Russian appeas er, staunchly back up the Mar shall plan, and answer a lot of personal questions. -Today Acheson told the same m&tﬂ;&-—buﬁ this time behind elosed doors in-a seeret session— how he plans to run the State De partment if confirmed. His. confirmation seems certain. Some believe the committee itself may give him its unanimous en dorsement. Both the House and Senate are in recess today. But lawmakers were busy, particularly on money matters — tax reductions, the President’s pay, and chances for raising the national minimum wage. Labor was stirring, too, pushing for quick repeal of the Taft-Hart ley Act. | Taxes—Capitol Hill gave a chil ly reception to Mr. Truman’s im plied suggestion that persons making $6,000 a year or more may lhave to pay higher federal income taxes. The President wants 1o raise $4,000,000,000 in new taxes from middle and upper income brackets. He said yesterday the imiddle bracket began at around | $6,000. ‘ But economy minded lawmak ers suggested less spending in stead of tax increases to balance lthe federal budget. ) Salaries—A bill boosting the .pay of the President, vice pres lident and speaker of the House is i heading for House action Monday. | The Senate yesterday gave it an overwhelming 68 to 9 approval and House passage seems certain. | Th'e measure yvouldmtlo’c\)rs\f\ tl}e The measure would boost the President’s pay from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO a year and give a new $50,000 tax-free expense allow ance on top of his present. $40,- 000. The vice president and speaker would get $30,000 instead of $20,000 a year, plus an expense allowance of SIO,OOO each. Wage-hour—the little man wasn’t forgotten: Wage House Al ministration William- R. McComb asked Congress for power to boost the minimum wage from 40 cents to 75 cents an hour for some industries. He wants to include an extra 10,000,000 workers among droughts of 1934 and 1936.” Damage to citrus and other ag riculture crops in California is es timated ‘at more than $43,400,000. In Arizona, the citurs crop dam age is estimated at $2,000,000. Thousands of telephone and utility poles were downed by ice storms. In Texas, Missouri, Kan sas, Arkansas and Oklahoma, the Southwestern Telephone Compa ny estimated the damage at near ly $2,000,000. Winter’s' weather elements ap pear to have been on a binge ever since New Year’s Day. The early January weather across the coun try ranged the climatic scale — tornadoes, blizzards, sleet and freezing rain, sub-zero tempara tures, snow and freezing in Cali fornia and near summer-like weather in the South. “ Tornadoes ‘struck in Arkansas, SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER /A CENTURY ATHENS, CA.. FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1949 the 22,600,000 already covered. Labor—Senator Pepper -(D- Fla) said he and many other Democrats want the Senate Labor Committee to by-pass hearings on legislation to repeal the Taft- Hartley Act. He said Senator Taft (R-Ohio) anci*l Re%ublicans gener ally opposed the idea: Pe { the issues have been threm time and again and there is no use wasting time on more hear ings. He wants action — a vote as soon as possible on the Taft-Hart ley Act repeal. A decision was put off until Tuesday on his plea. Deadline Near For Nominations Citizens of Athens and Clarke County are urged to make nomi nations for the “Man and Woman of the Year 1948” s 0 as to guide the committee of judges in its selec tion, it was announced today. It was emphasized that the choosing of the Man and Woman' of the Year will be entirely within the jurisdictidn of the committee and the choice will not be determined by votes as in a popularity contest. The committee of judges will be composed of a minister, an educa tor, a business executive, a profes sional man. Asisthe usual cus tom in such projects, the names of the judges will not be made pub lic, it was stated. All persons living in Athens or Clarke County are eligible to nom inate. A ballot is being carried in The Banner-Herald and this can be sent in with or without an ac companying letter. The person nominated should have achieved outstanding work in the field of civic improvement during 1948. ~ This project was started during 1948 by the Inter-Club Council of which W. H. Benson was chair man. Ballots must be mailed not later than tomorrow to COMMUNITY SERVICE, ATHENS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ATHENS, GA. Louisiana and Kansas on Jan. 3 killing 56 persons. Property dam age .was estimated at more than $1,000,000. Blizzards swept across the west ern plains and the Rocky Moun tain States, paralyzing business and industry in scores of commu nities in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado. Thousands were marooned in trains and cars. Some towns were isolated for more than a week. The full extent of the damage is not yet known as some sections still are digging out from the huge snow drifts. There were countless stories of heroic rescues as the Army and Red Cross rushea to aid the thou sands snowbound. , Snow fell in normally sunny California for four consecutive davs. Talmadge Proposes Greatest Budget In History Of State Governor Cites New Services Without Raising Present Taxes ATEANTA, Jan.® 14 —(AP)—Governor Herman Tal madge crossed his fingers today and proposed the great est réﬁular hudget in- Georgia’s history, $108,299,026. The "G(o\;ernox' said he was fully aware that by antici patﬁmﬁ such. income “we are assuming a very hazardous position in the view of the past years’ experiences.” . Talmadge said also he had re arranged expenditures to carry on all present state functions and io provide, in addition, $4,926,000 worth of new services without in creasing taxes. The chief executive’s budget message, prepared for delivery to the General Assembly in person, recommended a contingent budget of $35,140,520. This low contingent budget fig ure was made possible by a $7,- 409,200 slash in funds for the pro posed Minimum Foundation for Education program. ) Into his regular budget Tal madge incorporated as additional services: $600,000 to increase the pay of school bus drivers, $3,000,- 000 for Georgia participation in the Mill-Burton Hospital Act: $826,000 | 'more for state institutions, chiefly ;the Milledgeville State Hospital, and $500,000 more for the Forestry Department. ,' “I have seelcted the four items for increases,” said Talmadge, be cause by the expenditure of $4,- 926,000 in State Funds, the citizens will reecive benefits totalling $12,- 026,000 of federal, state and local funds.” Full Limit In setting up the $108,299,026 figure, Talmadge said, “I have taken the full limit of what we can expect in income. I have not taken into consideration a safety reserve which I and the State Auditor (B. E. Thrasher) eonsider would be good business in the face of unstable conditions.” He had pointed out previously in his talk that he was “banking i the present economic condi fs -helding up to thes preesnt level.” i ~ About $40,000,000 of. present state income, said the governor, “is being realized solely By virtue of improved economic c@nditions in the state and general, nation wide inflation.” i Included in Talmadge’s contin gent budget figure was $8,426,000 for rural roads, rural health ser vices, tuberculosis hospit,gl facili ties, public welfare benefits, farm ers’ markets and forest fire protec tion. J To raise the mongy for these items Talmadge obsérved: Fuel Tax “It is my belief that it would be a simpie matter to raise or adjust some of the present revenue laws, such as a one-cent additional mo tor fuel tax and two cents addi tional cigarette tax or other similar items.” This was the only specific tax reference in Talmadge’s address and he added that should such tax increases be agreed upon in the Assembly the measure should car ry a referendum provision. The contingent budget recom mendation originally was set up at $42,549,720. Including $34,123,720 for the educational program. To cut $7,409,200 from the con tingent budget estimate, Talmadge recommended: ' Elimination of the $400,000 item for scholarships to students who indicate they will enter the teach ing profession. Striké a provision for $4,687,- 000,200 for a county schooi build ing fund. Reduce the $4,822,000 university system building fund to $2,500,000 —a reduction of $2,322,000. After these deductions, the min imum Foundation Program would be $26,714,520. . No Recomineindatioii Talmadge made no recommenda tion as to what tax program the General Assembly should' follow should it decide to carry out the provisions of the contingent bud get. Without the reductions recom mended by Talmadge $42,549,720 in additional taxes would have to be imposed. With the recommendation re ductions the amount of required new taxation would be $35,140,520. Said Talmadge: “I can see no need:of drawing various and sundry tax legisla tion until it is determined what jcourse the General Assembly 'wishes to follow. Therefore I rec lommend the Ways and Means Committee of the House together 'with the secretary of the Tax Re | vision Committee, make a study of 'the question and determine what course is to be foilowed in submit ting the tax revision or projected | tax revision to the people for their approval or rejection. i The last regular budget of the state was for the fiscal year ended 'June 30, 1945. The budget for the following year was not adopted by the assembly as a result of the fight between Talmadge and form er Gov. M. E. Thompson for the {oftice of Chief Executive. ’ Thereafter no session of the '!ggh;s!a!ure wae pallad for the spe _cific purpose of setting up a bud- Iget. BY BEM PRICE Senate Action Postponed On A&ID Board ATLANTA, Jan, 14—(AP)—The Senate agreed to postpone until Monday a bill bolishing the Agri cultural and Industrial Develop ment Board after a spirited floor debate. Chief objector to the bill, in troduced by Senator Crawford Pilcher of Warrenton, was Senator Walter Harrison of Millen. Debate started when Harrison asked, ‘“What can be gained by putting in ‘a Department of Com merce and eliminating the A. and I. D. Board which removes the world agricultural from the title?” “If I thought it added to the progress of the state,” said Har rison, “I would vote for it. The only reason the A, and I. D, Board is to be abolished is that it was created under another Governor. ‘We cannot abolish all the boards created under other governors.” Pilcher said that setting up a five-man Department of Com merce would mean a saving of $50,000 to $70,000 annually. Harri son then asked if Pilcher had read “Thrasher’s Bible,” which he"said showed only $45,000 was spent last year on the agency. . (Thrasher’s bible is a report of Auditor B. E. Thrasher to the Gen eral Assembly.) ‘ i Harrison, along - with . Senator fHenry W. Davis of Jefferson, then moved to postpone action until }Monday. Pilcher said .he had no objection and the proposal was adopted. For the most part the Senate occupied itself with second read ings of bills and resolutions, in cluding one to extend the county unit sysiem to the general election. Four new bills were introduced after the Senate had agreed to re turn the bill abolishing the Geor gia Citizens Council to committee in order that public hearings might be heid. Introduced were} A bill by Senater D. B. Blalock to set up a forest fire emergency commission. i A bill by Senator Sam Wright of Waycross, setting up a forest fire protection service. A bill by Senator Lee Purdom of Blackshear regulating the sale and handling of liquified petroleum gases. ~ A bill by Senator W. R. McCoy of Folkston dealing with hospital insurance programs, The Senate passed, 35 to 0, a bill requiring the Secretary of State, instead of the Governor, to issue commissions for state offices. N. Y.
