Suit Attacks
County Unit Plan
ATLANTA, (GPS) Ex Gov.
Eugene Talmadge, who won the
ncmination as Governor under
the county unit system in the
July 17 State Democratic Pri
mary, but trailed James V. Car
michael in popular votes, may
not receive the nomination after
all. At least, it appears Tab
madge will have another fight on
his hands before the question is
final y settled.
This latest development came
last week when a m t was filed
in Federal District Court in
Brunswick attacking the constitu
tionality of Georgia’s county unit
system and seeking to block Tal-;
madge’s nomination for his
fourth term as governor.
The suit, filed by Attorneys
Charles S. Reid, former chief
justice of the Georgia Supreme
Court, and John L. Tye, Jr., At
lanta attorney, was on behalf of
Mrs. Robert Lee Turman of Ful
ton county, prominent member
of the League of Women Voters,
and Cullen B. Gosnell of DeKalb
county, head of Emory Universi
ty’s political science department.
The suit contends that the
Georgia primary law, which pro
vides for the county unit system
of nominating state officials, is in
conflict with the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.- It asks
that Secretary of State Ben
Fortson, Chairman Lon Duck
worth, of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, and Miss
Grace Cannington, secretary of;

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION
• .
Georgia-Owned and Georgia Edited — for Ceorgianj
MARK \\ ILSON, Dealer, Perry, Ga. *
I
the committee, be enjoined from
certifying the nominees in the!
I recent primary.
The state constitutional pro- ;
vision authorizing county unit
votes is “a deliberate, express)
and unreasonable discrimination :
in varying degrees against all
voters residing in any but the)
smallest counties,” the suit con-1
tends. It cited as an example]
that in Fulton county (Atlanta)
"it requires 106 plus voters . . .
to have the same value as one
vote in Chattahoochee County”
and ”71 votes in Fulton County
to have the same value as one
vote in Quitman Comity.”
In the recent ehction Tal
madge polled 297,245 popular!
voles, carrying 105 counties with i
242 county unit vote, while Car- j
miehael received .‘513,389 popular !
votes, but carried only 44 coun-!
ties with 146 county unit votes.
Land Grants
Of the total railway mileage in
the United States today, about 8 per
cent received federal grants of land
as an aid to construction. In re
turn for the lands granted by the i
government, the land grant rail
roads (in accordance with the
provisions of the land grant acts
and subsequent legislation and
court rulings) transport government
troops and government property '
used for military purposes at one
half the standard rates. For many
years, until 1940, the land grant rail- ,
roads carried United States mails
for 20 per cent less than standard
rates. In order to share in govern-i
ment traffic, competing railway j
lines which did not receive land |
grants handle government property 1
used for military purposes at land ] 1
grant rates under so-called equali- 1 1
i zation agreements.

Along About
NOW
LAST WEEK was the week
when a “What will happen
next?” attitude seemed to be de
veloping in the nation. While the
military services prepared for a
third demonstration of the pow
er of the atomic bomb, we here
in the south had some bat ties of
our own. In neighboring Ten
nessee, where Boss Crump’s po
litical machine has run things
for many years, a group of vet
erans in McGinn county took
matters into their own hands and
' shot it out with 75 special depu
' ties who took a ballot box into
the Jail. They came out six hours j
| later with their hands up in sur
render, A plain-spoken preach-;
er took the lead in the new gov- j
ernment formed when the sheriff 1
and other officers were reported j
“outside the county.”
As peace officers sought to de
termine the identity of the 20 to I
30 men who murdered four I
negroes near Monroe, Ca., re
wards for the conviction of the
guilty rose to $30,000. Gov. Ar
nall said GBI officers would re-1
main in Monroe until the crime |
was solved and Gov-Elect Tab i
madge said he would continue j
the investigation if it is not
solved when he takes office.
In nearby Taylor county, Ma
de Snipes died of bullet wounds I
which a coroner’s jury said were j
inflicted in self-defense. Macicj
Snipes was the only negro who'
voted in Taylor county the day
before he died.
The Macon papers carried an
editorial suggesting that, a labor
organizer was a communist and!
the next day he said he would !
sue them for libel.
Up in Washington, the Senate j
Investigating Committee uncov
ered further evidence of war
profiteering and contributions!
made by corporations to a con-'
gressrnan.

Handy Blackboard
A small blackboard hung in the
kitchen is a good way to keep track
of cooking times. It’s also a handy
reminder of needed staples and er
rands that have to be done. 1
Proper Arrangement
Saves Kitchen Work
Many ideas to save time originate
in the kitchen, and include a num
ber of little things, unimportant
when taken alone, but which, when
combined, may save many hours ol
labor in housework.
For instance, pick out the kettles
and pans you use most frequent
ly. Place them as near as possible
to where you must use them. If you
can avoid it, don’t stack them,
and don’t store them where you
must stoop for them. Plan the right
tool for the job. For example, sharp
knives and a good stiff vegetable
I brush. Put them where you can get
S them without hunting.
Put the food shelf in order. Check
through the canned goods on hand,
and store those you plan to use'
where you can get at them easily.
List .and purchase needed supplies,
as useless trips to the grocery
store take time.
