«frervthing is in readi
ness for the biggest Athens
Lions Club Amateur Show
over held, J. W. Henry, club
president, said today follow
ing the weekly meeting of
this organization at the
Georgian Hotel. 4
The nearty 100 members of the
cub spent the ‘regular weekly
ecting hour discussing final de
tails of the show which is to be
presented in the Fine Arts Audi
torium on the University of Geor
gia campus, tOMOrrow night, Jan
uary 25, beginning at 8:00 o’clock.
The Lions Club averages spend
ing about SSOO yearly on sight con
ervation work in this vicinity and
contributes to other worthwhile
mdertakings. in the community.
Funds for those projects come
from profits derived from the an
nual amateur show.
Much of the sight conservation
work consists of providing free
eve examinations and glasses for
needy children in this area. “How
ever” Henry stated, “during the
past two vears we have spent con
cderable time and money in as
csting with visual survey work in
the local schools. A visual survey
tolehinocular machine purchased
by the club is available for use
in schools in the county.”
Electric Magnet
The latest undertaking of this
nature by the Lions Club”is the
purchase of an electric magnet for
wee by local doctors and hospitals
' removing foreign objects from
eves. In the past it has.been nec
ewsary to rush a magnet of this
tvpe from Atlanta when an em
ergency arose. ot
“]t has been necessary to ob
tain the magnet from Atlanta four
times since Christmas,” Henry ex
plained. “Luckily it was available
when needed here. If some other
community had - been using it,
however, the consequences might
have been -serious.”
Plans call for presenting the
maenet during the amateur show
Friday evening if it arrives here
in time to do this. It was ordered
early this month.
Other than the presentation of
the electric magnet, if it is ayail
able, the activities Friday night
will be strictly of an entertain
ment nature. Twenty-nine acts
have been “selected for this year’s
show, a considerable number of
them coming from communitites
outside of the city. Talent within
a 50-mile radius of Athens could
audition for the show.
“More acts were auditioned this
vear than ever before,” Henry
declared. Nearly 60 different fea
tures were considered before the
final program was arranged. Lion
Eugene Epting was in charge of
the auditions, and Lion J. W. Mat
thews was superviser of the talent
committee.
Variety Better
Tre club officials reported that
the variety of the acts is better
than usual and that the program
should appeal to young and old
alike. Approximately one-third of
the numbers are to be presented
by University Students.
Prizes are to be given to win
ners in three divisions. These are,
in addition to the University stu
dents, those under 16 years of age
and those over 16 years. Nearly
3300 in awards are to given during
the evening. In addition, the win
ners are to appear on the Freddie

Senator Bentoif (D.-Conn.), who

BACKS RUSSELL
ATLANTA, Jan. 24—(AP)—
Governor Herman Talmadge
again sidestepped open support
of Senator Estes Kefauver (D.-
Tenn.) for the Presidency today.
The Tennessean announced
his candidacy yesterday.
Asked at his news conference
for a statement on Kefauver,
Talmadge answered, “I am for
Senator Russell.” Russell is the
junior Democratic Senator from
Georgia.
see Senator sald he was “in until
the finish,” regardless of whether
Mr. Truman seeks re-election.
“I am going to work hard te
win,” said the former chairman
of the Senate Crime Investigating
Committee.
With his attractive wife, Nangy,
seated by his side, Kefauver tgld
newsmen:
“I regard it as the right of the
American people to have as wide
a choice as possible in choosing
their leaders. There is a place—
and a need—for new blood and
new ideas in both parties.”
Paramount Issue
Kefauver said the ‘“paramount
issue” is “peace in the world.” He
added that under the Roosevelt
and Truman administrations dur
ing the last 20 years “we have
made much progress enacting and
vigorously pursuing a foreign
policy in the interest of world
peace.”
Kefauver did fire some eriti
cism, however, in the direction of
the Truman administration. He
said “it goes without saying that
we must have clean government,”
and added: = -
“We in the federal government
must first clean out our own

have been done, but not enough—
not nearly enough.”
The Tennesseean made no spe

scandals and other wrong-doings

Slight Drop In
‘' Business
Profits Shown
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK, Jan. 24—(AP)—
America’s corporations had their
best money year on record in 1951
—before the tax collector came
along. After that, their net pro=-
fits show a drop—but not as much
as many have predicted,
The first flash flood of earning
statements indicates that sales and
gross earnings were at & record
level in the year just ended. After
federal, state and local tax col
lectors dipped into gross earnings,
however, net profit is running be
hind 1950 totals in most manufac
turing companies, as expected. So
far, profits are lagging by only
0.6 per cent, however.
Also as expected, the profit pic~
ture—on the basis of the first re
turns—is spotty. More utility com=
panies, for example, show gains
over 1950 than show declines. Oil
companies are expected to fit into
that side of the ledger, too, along
with some steel products, packers,
and most airlines and aircraft
builders.
Show Only Trend
Early profit statements, like
first election returns, show only
the trend, not the final result. But
the President’'s Council of Eco
nomic Advisers is on record with
estimates for 1851 earnings as a
whole. Its guesses are: Record
earnings before taxes of $44.8 bil
lion, whittled down 60 per cent by
taxes. Corporations will have slß.l
billion left after they settle with
the taxman, the Council estimates.
That is $4.7 billion less than they
netted in 1950.
Utilities are among the first to
report, and the prosperous year for
many of them colers the over-all
picture at the start. Of the first
17 prominent utility companies re
porting, 10 had a larger net profit
in 1951 than in 1950. Of the first
26 prominent companies outside
the utility field to report net pro
fits, 15 made less in 1951 than the
yvear before and 11 made more in
spite of higher taxes. (Some of the
companies included report for fis~
cal years ending in October or
November, but most are for the
calendar ‘year.) - B
Taken together, the first 43
companies sampled broke almost
even—2l gaining and 22 declining.
Most changes weren’t large either
way. But eight companies lost
ground sharply, while four com
panies registered strong gains.
Their total 1951 net profit of
$627,583,032 was only 0.6 per cent
lower than their total earnings the
previous year, of $631,655,774
thanks largely to the profit assist
of the utilities, communications,
and aireraft makers.
The percentage of decline from
1950 is expected to rise as more
returns come in—as more of the
industrial Glants report, particu
larly in those industries hard hit
by raw material curbs or customer
indifference. z Rt
After the final picture of 1951
earnings is drawn—probably not
until the stragglers report in
March —the President’s Council
may be found to be fairly accurate
in its guess that profits were down
by $4.7 billion last year.
Nevertheless, the dividend pay
ments to stockholders last year

Court that he had “lived under what I term abnormal con
ditions with Mrs. Kathleen Drewry for at least 18 years”

SENATE CONSIDERS BOOST
IN PAY FOR LEGISLATORS
ATLANTA, Jan. 24.— (AP) —After two days of furious
debate on Presidential Elector and toll road bills, the Geor
gia Legislature settled down to routine matters today.
The House voted 108-6 to permit the University System
School Building Authority to doubie the amount of bonds
it can issue for construction from $20,000,000 to $40,000,-
O(f)%lT}i(e bill was sponsored by Rep, Chappelle Matthews
of Clarke.
The Senate centered most of its
attention on a proposed pay raise
for members.
It backed down on a $lO raise
voted yetserday but Sen. Mose
Edenfield of Darien said he is
preparing a new amendment for
introduction later.
Edenfield said he was not sure
yet what amount would be asked.
Members of the legislature now
draw S2O a day and State Treasu
rer George Hamilton said there is
money available out of which the
legislature could vote itself a pay
raise without the necessity of also
passing an amendment to the 1951
‘appropriation bill.
The Senate also gaued bills
making state banks subject to the
same method of taxation as nation
al banks and authorizing any de
partment of any state agency to
come under the provisions of the
State Merit Act.
Second Victory
Yesterday, the second victory in
the legislature in two days put
Governor Talmadge's two major
itemg half-way toward approval,
His toll road authority bill was
passed by the House yesterday
after two days of debate. The vote
was 118 to 72.
The bill now %oes to the Senate
where another floor fight is an
ticipated, but admkxutra:]pn lead
ers expect quick approval.
The day before, the senate had
rolled through Talmadge’s contro
versial presidential electors bill
and sent it to the house.
Preparing for quick econsidera
tion in that body, the house state
of republic committee will hold a
hearing on the electors bill this
afternoon. If that committee ap
proves the bill, as seems likely, it
could be ealled up for action about
Monday.
The administration mustered
only 15 votes to spare in house
passage of the toll road proposal.
But administration floor leaders
held the tight bloe through the two
days of debate and numerous ef
forts to maim the bill with amend
ments,
As passed the bill limits the road
authority to one project — from
Cartersville to the Tennessee line.
Northwést Georgia representa
tives were almost solidly against
it, charging it would wreck the
State’s tourist trade and hurt
many small businesses along the
free rogds.
Administration Stand
But administration supporters
countered with statements from
other states that turnpikes have
increased tourist business and
brought financial benefits to the
areas through which they pass.
Proposed reogranization of the
State Education Board was killed
for this session by the House Ed
ucation Committee. The Commit
tee voted to postpone all reogran
ization proposals for at least a year
and set up a 10-member eommittee
to study the matter.
The special committee was part
fcularly instructed to examine con
flicting authority between the
Board of Education and the State
School Superintendent. Member
ship of the committee will be two
Senators, - three Representatives,
Three members of the Georgia Ed
ucation Association, a member of
the State Board and a representa
tive of the Education Degartment.
The Senate passed a bill to set
up a retirement system for Sup
erior Court Clerks similar to that
previously ecreated for peace of
ficers.
The Senate also '&assed bills
permitting the State Welfare rolls
to be opened for public inspection,
and to repeal an act giving the
Secretarg of State authority to
rule on disputes in political parties
over national convention delegates.
