“With Georgia’s Chief Executive,
Governor Herman Talmadge, as
the speaker with Mrs, John J. Wil

honored on this occasion and with
entertainment specialities as well
as music, we are convinced that
this 43rd annual meeting is going

Senator Walter F. George, Sena
tor Richard B. Russell, Congress
man Paul Brown and other out
standing Georgians, many of whom
are expected to be present.” :
Tickets are being sold at $1.50

Louis Kaufman To Give Concert Here Wednesday Night, 8:15
Associated Press Service
Mr. Winston said that by direc
tion of the stockholders of the As
sociation, it has withdrawn from
the marketing end of the livestock
industry and has sold to the North
east Georgia Livestock Auction
Company its assets. In the future
the Association will be concerned
primarily with the promotion of
the livestock industry in this area,
leaving to private enterprise the
operation of adequate marketing
facilities. .
The sale of marketing assets
was conducted by the executive
committee of the board of direc
tors, Mr. Winston said, and the
successful bidders met the re
quirements governing the sale, he
declared. Two other groups en
tered bids for the assets, Mr.
Winston said. |
Three Cash Bids 59
Mr. Winston said three cash bids
were submitted and by the fol
lowing groups: Northeast Georgia
Farmers, $53,103.00; G. C. Smith
Livestock Commission Company of
Augusta, SSO, 401.00 and Ragsdale
Lawhon Company and L. O. Price,
$50,250.00. In addition to its cash
bid, Mr. Winston said, the latter
group agreed to pay the Associa
tion SI,OOO annually for a period
of five years “for the purpose of
further promoting the livestock
industry and that factor, as well as
others, caused our committee to
decide that the successful bid was
the best from the standout of the
aims of the Association, its total
bid having amounted to $55,-
250.00.”
The Executive Committee of the
Board of Directors in charge of
the sale was comprised of Presi
dent- Winston and J. R. Westbrook
of Ila, Madison county. E. O. Cab
aniss of Oglethorpe county, the
third member of the Executive
Committee, having been associated
with one of the groups bidding for
the assets did not participate in
making the sale, Mr. Winston said.
Mr. Cabaniss and Mr. Westbrook
were appointed to the Executive
Committee by President Winston
to fill vacancies created by resig
nation of Mr. Price and Malcolm
Rowe, of Madison county, when
the latter decided to bid for the
assets of the Association, Mr.
: Winston said.
Larger Interest
Mr. Winston stated that the
successful bidders include Mr.
Price, Mr. Rowe and Marden Mal
com, of Athens. Officials of Rags
dale-Lawhon Company are C. N.
Ragsdale, J. B. Lawhon and Guy
B. McClure. The local members
of the new concern, which is
awaiting its charter, hold the con
trolling interest in the Northeast

charter was applied for, it is stat

Passage Of Compromise
Rent Bill Seen Today
House And Senate Optimism High
For Quick Approval By Midnight
WASHINGTON, March 29.—(AP)—Administration leaders in both
the Senate and House agreed today that legislation to extend rent con
trols 15 months could be delivered to President Truman by nightfall.
The forecasts came from Senator Lucas (Ill.), majority leader of
the Senate, and Rep. McCormack (Mass.), the House Democratic
floor leader.
Their optimism wasn’t dimmed
by the prospect of sharp attacks
on the compromise measure. Sen
ator Bricker (R-Ohio) told a re
porter he might move to send the
bill back to the joint Senate
‘House conference committee
which approved it yesterday. In
the House several members indi
cated they plan to blast the bill.
“The Senate made action on the
compromise bill its first order
of business today. The House ex
pected to take it up shortly after
the Senate voted.
Time, meanwhile, was running
out. At midnight Thursday the
present rent law expires. Demo
cratic leaders expect Mr. Truman
to sign the extension measure
once it gets to the White House
even though it isn’t nearly as
tight a bill as he wanted.
Mr. Truman asked for a two
year extension and more strin
gent controls.
While it would continue feder
al rent controls through June 30,
1950, the bill contains a broad
“home rule” provision which lets
states, cities, towns and villages
get rid of controls any time the
state governor approves.
Rough Going
Officials at the housing expe
diter’s declined to estimate what
might happen to rents, pending
Louis Kaufman
Concert Here
Tomorrow
Louis Kaufman, distinctive vio
linist, will give a concert in the
Fine Arts Auditorium on Wed
nesday evening, 8:15, under the
auspices of the Athens Civic Mu
sic Association. This is the second
in the series of concerts.
Listeners at. Wednesday night’s
concert will also hear the young
and striking brunette accompan
ist who always appears on the
concert piatiorm when ihe distii
guished violinist presents his pro
grams. She is Mrs. Louis Kauf
man, talented wife of the distin
guished violinist who has made
such a great reputation for him
self both in the recital world and
as the daring young man who de
fied archaic musical traditions to
bring a breath of freshness and
novelty into violin virtuosity.
Mr. Kaufman is noted for two
distinct aspects of his unusual
musical career. In Hollywood he
has been the “mood artist” of mo
tion pictures, who, unseen to his
millions of listeners, provides the
propper setting through his vio
lin, for anxiety or an embgace. On
the concert platform, he is an in
strumentalist of the first magni
tude who has set a precedent
which others have followed by
performing aiid pioneering the
musical works of young American
composers.
There is no doubt about it, the
Athens music lovers have a treat
in store for them on ngdnesday
night as the harmony which Mrs.
Louis Kaufman, as his accompan
ist, adds to her gifted husband’s
violin recitals is a major note in
the tuneful rhapsody of their mu
sical career.

Thousands of people from Northeast Georgia are expected to spend
Friday and Saturday, April Ist and 2nd, in Athens participating in
taking advantage of the speciai iwo-day irade eveni, “Aihens Savings
Days,” which the Merchants Council of the Athens Chamber of Corn

further study of the provision.
Rough going in the Senate for
the compromise was foreshadow
ed last night when its supporters
were peppered with questions as
to just what a “fair net operating
income” . means. Senators also
wanted to know who was going
to determine what is a fair in
come.
Senator Sparkman (D-Ala) said
it would be the job of the Housing
Expediter to decide what consti
tutes a fair income for landlords.
They said there are some guide
posts in the measure to help him.
Those include, for example,
consideration of (1) property tax
increases, (2) wunavoidable in
creases in operating and mainten
ance expenses, and (3) major cap
ital improvements of the housing
accommodations.
Sparkman stressed that the ex
pediter could not take into ac
count interest on a mortgage in
determining “fair net operating
income.”
They said that to let him do so
would be an invitation to land
lords to mortgage their places, in
vest the loan obtained, and then
get a higher rent ceiling to com
pensate for interest on the mort
gage.
Other Provisions
In additton to the “fair net op
erating income” section, the lis
- compromise bill contains
these major provisions:
1. Individual states could scrap
federal rent controls throughout
the state or in certain areas if the
state legislature passed a law
calling for that, and the governor
approved it. If the governor ve
toed ihe measure, the legislature
could override him.
2. Separate machinery is pro
vided for incorporated cities,
towns and villages to remove rent
controls, independently of the
state legislature. The local gov
erning body would have to pass

Clark’s car was stolen in

they’ll return the car only if the

And that, said Whitley, will
take a year or so.

NEWARK, N. J. March 29—
(AP)—Delegates to the contro

The second of a series of “cul

As Director Of Agricultural Plan
ATLANTA, March 29.-—(AP)—The Georgia Board of Regents today
took a painful $2,226,209 out of its budget for next year, dismissing 96
employes and eliminating many services.
The board also appointed Harry L. Brown as over-all director of a
TCulsanizea agricunlura: program.
Brown was named dean of the
College of Agriculture at the Uni
versity in Athens. He is.a former
assistant U. S. secretary of Agri
culture and has been serving as
vice-chancellor in charge of agri
culture. Brown replaces Dean
Paul Chapman at Athens, whao
was appointed associate dean.
Officials said Chapman had
agreed to. the chance. They prais
ed his “cooperative attitude.”
Facing a sharp loss in frees
from ex-GI students and other
sources the board was told by its
finance chairman that the budget
picture is “mighty bad.”
Regent H. L. Wingate objected
to eliminating soil testing services
under the slashed budget but was
told this was one of many non
teaching services that had to be
dropped.
The board estimated a loss in
income from fees and other sourc
es for the University System of
$1,279.408 from last year.
