The story of a 100-MPH chase
on the Danielsville Road came to
a climax in Recorder’s Court to
day with the defendant’forfeiting
a S2OO bond for reckless driving.
The chase took place late last
Thursday afternoon.
It all started simply enough.
Officer J. B. Carter approached a
1949 Ford parked on Washington
street on a red meter. The driver
of the car and a companion
watched himr approach, then sud
denly backed out of the parking
space and took off with a burst of
speed. Officer Carter followed on
the three-wheel motorcycle.
Both vehicles whizzed past the
City Hall, and Officers Ed Hans
ford and Elmer Lampkin quickly
leaped on their motorcycles and
joined the chase,
i The driver of the car, Paul
Royston, from near Royston, head
ed down Hancock and turned
down Thomas street. Officer Car
ter was soon left behind as the
chase began pn the Danielsville
Road, but Officer Hansford took
up the chase. With speeds up to
100-MPH he closed the gap on the
speeding Royston, Meanwhile Of
ficer Lampkin had taken a dif
ferent route in an effort to head
off the car.
Once on the highway Officer
Hansford attempted to pull up
along side Royston and the dri
ver of the cut the car in front of
the officer, trying to knock him
from his motorcycle. On two
other occasions the officer tried to
pull up along side the speedster
and each time he was forced off
the road at a high rate of speed.
I After the third attempt on his
life, Officer Hansford began fir
ing at the car. Four shots ripped
into the Ford, shattering the wind
shield and rear glass. Still the car
sped on,
Officer Hansford stopped at the
Diamond Hill community to call
for a road block but found out
there was no telephone, But hav
ing the car’'s tag number he re
turned to town and checked the
number through the state files.
Yesterday afternoon, Royston
was arrested by Sheriff Tommy
Huff and Officers Carter and
Hansford at his home, e
He hag also posted SSOO bond
with county authorities for speed
ing and reckless driving.
During the latter part of the
chase, Officer Carter abandoned
his three-wheeler when he real
ized he was outclassed. He flag
ged a passing motorist in a 1950
Lincoln and resumed the chase,
but the speedster had gained too
much headway.
There were five other cases in
Recorder’s Court today, Two were
for reckless driving in connection
with a minor wreck at the inter
section of Reese and Church
streets. One driver was fined
$5.75 and the other $15.75. Both
were colored. :
Three cases were for drunken
ness with two defendants being
placed on probation and the third
was cited in contempt for failing
to appear for trial,
NEW PATROL TRIP
Traffic Officer Emory Sanders
announced today a new trip for
his 100-odd schoolboy patrolmen.
The youngsters will make a
trip to Atlanta next Tuesday aft
ernoon and visit Grant Park and
then take in the Atlanta-Nashville
baseball ganre that night,
Officer Sanders said that City
School Superintendent Fred Ayers
had agreed to let the patrolmen
out of school one hour early on
that day.
The patrolmen will make the
trip in a chartered bus and pri
vate cars. Several of the city’s
most outstanding patrolmen have
just recently returned from a
three-day visit to the nation’s
capital.

the anti-Talmadge crowd. <
“Now I have many people in
Athens that I have done favors
for. If there was ever a time when
I needed you to return that favor,
it is now. Not only would you be
doing me a favor, but you will be
doing yourself a favor, since when
I am elected your governor, I will
strive to make the University of
Georgia a great institution that it
should be and put a stop to the
continual moving of dspanment
after department out of Athens,
thus hurting all of Athens. You
know, and I know, that if Herman
Talmadge is returned to office that
he will not do anything for the
University of Georgia, Clarke
county or this part of the state, |
He never has and he never will.
“] know thousands of students
who were at the University who
are supporting me. All we need in
this race is to get the defeatest at
titude out of those people who
want good government, Whenever
a person who is not for Talmadge
says I haven’t got a chance, it
hurts my chance of winning.l want
all those who want a good busi
ness administration for the next
four years to say “I am going to
vote for “Fat” Baker; he is the
most capable man in the race.”
School Department
“When I am elected your Gox- |
ernor, my goal will be to see that
every child in the State of Georgia,
no matter where he lives, nor
what race, color or creed shall
have an oppartunity for a sound J
public school education. I will
strive for a public school system
in Georgia, second tc none, in the
fundamentals of education. I will
use my influence to the end that
‘the state adopt a reasonable maxi
‘mum salary scale for all teaching
personnel with provisions for peri
odic increases hased on length of
service and demonstrated ability,
“My friends, we in Georgia
have a peculiar system. To deter
mine the needs of the old people
of our state, we sit down and ask
them quite a few questions and as
they give the answers we deter
mine the amount of need that they
have. 1 say to you, my friends,
that there is no old person in
Georgia who can live on Fifty
Dollars ($50.00) much less on less
than Fifty Dollars ($50.00). As
lyou know, the Federal Govern
ment gives seventy-five per cent
of the old age pension up to Fifty
Dollars ($50.00) per month. The
State gives twenty-one per cent
and your local county gives four
per cent.
“When I am elected your Gov
ernor, 1 will recommend to the
Legislature that they amend the
laws and give twenty-five per cent
from the State Treasury and get
seventy-five per cent from the
Federal Treasury making the
State’s contribution to the old age
people of Georgia $12.50 per
month and the Federal Govern
‘ment’s contribution $37.50. " Yes,
my friends, we will not need to
‘have all the red tape that is re
quired to determine the need of
the old people of Georgia. When
I am elected your Governor we
'will give them all the same
amount. Your local Welfare Board
will decide those people who are
entitled to old age pensions ac
cording to needs in your county.
It will be a local matter decided
by local people. Those people will
decide who is to ge the old age
pensions and who is not to get it.
“Being a business man, as well
as a lawyer, I will eliminate with
the assistance and counsel of the
State Auditor and the Department
Heads, all of the extra employees
that have been hired by this ad
ministration and including those
who Mr, Thompson said were un
necessary during his administra
tion, I have pledged to you that I
will reduce the pay roll of Georgia
by at least fifteen hundred (1500)
employees and I do not mean to
reduce them and add my friends
ion. I am not going to tell you that
1 am not going to hire any of my
friends when there is a job and
the friend ic capable, if I did I
would be telling you a falsehood.
Oh, my friends, you ‘know the
State of Georgia is literally teem
ing with state employees who are
busy working to keep this admin
istration in office. Even Mr. Char
lie Redwine has got himself busy
taking up collections from his em
ployees in his department although
the Legislature placed them on the
merit system. When I get to be
your governor the merit system
will take on a real effect. Those
employees who are capable and
do not enter into politics will
have nothing to worry about when
1 become your Governor.
“There are many new jobs crea
ted. For example, when Mr. M.
E. Thompson was governor, there
was no assistant superintendant
of banks.
7 Road Conditions
~ “My friends, traveling over this
State makes you sick to see the
condition that our roads are in.
They are literally going to rack
and ruin not only from the Thomp
son administration but from the
Talmadge administration as well,
I say to you my friends, there has
been more waste in the Highway
Department than in other depart
ment in the state. They have
more employees and they seem to
be doing less werk than any other
department in the state. Yes, they
said the highway department wis
in politics but it i snow in
poltics but I say to you my friends,
although it is under the merit
system, they are susing Highway
Department to build sidewalks, to
do whatever is politically expedi
ent in a county or ecity in the
hopes of carrying that county
on city for the presen. ad
ministration, instead of taking that
money and spending it on the high
way. Oh, my friends, you proba
bly do not know it by being in
Clarke county but some of you who
are listening in, know that there
are days and weeks when the
schools in some counties cannot
open because the school buses can
not bring the school children into
school. When I am elected your
governor I will see that this never
happens again. I will have hard
surface on all the school bus and
mail routes as rapidly as goscible.
“In Georgla we have built-up
taxes on eaxes instead of trying to
revise our tax structure. We have
spent 120 thousand doliars on a
tax revision committee but we
have failed to rise any of their rec-

Tonight At Prince Avenue Baptist
Miss Mary Julia Cooper, having
returned from a two years stay in
Japan, will speak to her many,
many, friends in the Prince Ave

o'clock on “The White Fields of

During the war, Miss Cooper
worked with the government at
Warner Robins and later volun

close of the war. For the past two
years she has worked as a gov

at same time has been a Mission«
ary on her own. Miss Cooper has
always wanted to be a Missionary
ommendation.
“The present tax structure has
a tax on cigarettes and cigars,
Store tax, Gas pump tax, oleomar
gine tax and at present there is a
collector for each one of these tax
es drawing a salary and expenses
when one man could collect all
these taxes and save this money
for the State.
~ “When I am you governor, I
am going to recommend that all
these and other nuisance eaxts be
eliminated.
“Gasoline has become a necessi
ty in mest families. Yet we buy a
twenty-five per cent sales tax on
gas.
“When T am elected your gov=-
ernor, I will cut the gas tax to four
cents per gallon and use that
money for the roads.
“I will not wait until there has
been a Constitutional Amendment
to do this which will be at least
| two years. I will ask the Legisla
ture to appropriate for roads an
amount equal to that reveiced
from the gas tax.
Cigarette Tax
“When I am elected your gov
ernor, 1 will reduce the cigarette
tax from five cents to there cents
per package. In order to prevent
the bootlegging from states hat
have no cigarette tax. This is with
a sales tax.
“When I am elected governor,
T will not have to take my orders
from Roy Harris, Ed Rivers, Ellis
Arnall, Charlie Redwine, Jim
Gillis, Jim Peters or Zack Cravey,

as the wartime Amerasia Magazine
case zoomed into new prominence,
Republican charges of “cover
up” were met with a Democratic
release of a report kept secret
since 1946.
Six persons were arrested in
1945, charged with illegal posses
sion of secret government papers.
Two were fined, and the case
dropped out of sight.
Rep. Hobbs (D.-Ala.) who was
chairman of the 1946 House invest
igating committee, released the
bulky report yesterday.
Rep. Brown (R.-Ohio) said
cloakroom rumor had it that “the
fix has been put in again. The
whole thing (is to be) white
washed aagin.” /
Hobbs said that failure to get
legal search warrants punched
koies in the government’s case,
and that’s why nothing much came
of the arrests.
Senator Tydings (D.-Md.) prom
ised a full and complete story on
the Amerasia case when his for

American Woman Staris Flood #
Of World Friendship Leffers - *
PHILADELPHIA -~ (NEA) —
When a friendly young American
woman suggested to a few ac
quaintances in Eurnpe that they
drop her a line, she received about
11,000 replies.
From this beginning, more than
57,000 persons in 14 major coun
tries and many small ones now
correspond with each other, ex
changing ideas, interests and in
formation in a world-wide move
ment toward friendship and un
derstanding.
Miss G. Alison Raymond, who
had the happy inspiration Yor in
ternational letter writing, is the
director“ of the resulting service,
“Letters Abroad.” She said she
became convinced, about a year
and a half ago, that international
relations, if they are to be neigh
borly and peaceful, would have to
be brought down to a cozy person
al level.
®* % =
With this in mind she wrote the
mayors of several towns in Eu
rope suggesting they designate a
few private citizens to write let
ters to her. She in turn would
pass the letters on to Americans
who would cultivate a friendly
correspondence. -
Ever since then “Letters
Abroad,” which is now a part of
the World Affairs Council of Phil
adelphia, has been winning friends
and influencing people to be good
‘meighbors all around the world.
Correspondence is on a purely
personal, friendly basis, aimed at
getting to know each other and to
learn about each other’s countries.
Nothing of the character of a prop
aganda drive is suggested.
“After a few letters, you forget
that the correspondent is Ger
man, Dutch, Swiss or whatever,”
one American letter-writer said.
“They’re just pe(:pki my friends.”
*
Discussions of world affairs of
ten occupy the writers, however,
Miss Raymond pointed out.
When the matter of Indonesian
independence was before the
Dutch, letters were full of it. Other
subjects which have been in lively
discussion included international
monetary matters, the Atlantic
Pact, the Marshall Plan and pros
pects for an Austrian treaty. |
One American letter = writeri
(Miss Gaynelle Bennett, a nurse in
Grafton, Mass.) got so interested
in her German correspondent that
she flew to Germany to spend the
Christmas holidays with her. Other
visits have grown out of the letter
friendships.
The operation of “Letters
Abroad” is simple. Since Miss
Raymond’s initial suggestion, the
organization has told schools,
clubs, civic groups, churches and
professional organizations baoth
here and abroad, about the idea.
Letters stack up in the little of
fice where Miss Raymond and a
crew of volunteers (the enterprise
cannot afford adequate paid help)
sort them out and pair them off.
Two correspondents are introduced
! to each other and from then on are
largely on their own.
For the most part correspon
dents are paired on the basis of
| occupation—architects writing to
| architects, policemen to police
3men and farmers’ wives to farm
i ers’ wives. So far as possible cor
| respondents are also matched as to
zage, general educational back
ground and hebbies.
x Wherever the idea is known it
has taken hold immediately. A
brief announcement on the Dutch
| radio brought 900 letters by air
and many more by ship. Another
mention on the BBC brought
thousands of replies.
Much of the correspondence is
in English both ways, although by
no means all of it. One letter from
Japan was beautifully written on
{ rice paper. %
Effort is made to weed out pack
age seekers, who are remarkably

Mr, Troutt
C. W. Troutt, of Lebanon,
Tenn., well-known manager of
square dances and operator of
several trucks, now joins in a few
steps of the dancing, much to th¢
amazement ¢f friends who know
how severe aches and pains of
neuritis have made him almost
an invalid for some time,
This blessed relief came to Mr.
Troutt as HADACOL helped
overcome his deficiencies of Vita
mins 81, 82, Niacin and Iron. This
relief camre to him after these
horrible pains had haunted him,
making it possible for him to carry
on his business activities only
through sheer determination. He
didn’t let aches and pains kill his
spirits, however.
Then, one of the musicians at
his square dances brought him a
large economy-size bottle of
HADACOL.
Gave Him HADACOL
“T am tired of seeing you suffer
with these aches and pains,” said
the musician. “I bought you this
big bottle myself because I want
to see you start getting well.”
~ Here is Mr, Troutt’s own story:
“I have suffered with aches and
pains of neuritis for some time.
I have tried dozens of prepara
tions but have had little relief.
My greatest pains have been in
my knees and ankles and recently
there have been pains in my
wrists. One of the greatest hor
rors was to be unable to sleep at
night, Since taking HADACOL I
have been able to sleep and it is
wonderful to get rid of those ter
rible pains in the knees, ankles
and wrists, I have found in
HADACOL the only relief that
has come after years of search.”
