Arnall Says Georgia
Will Not Tolerate
Imitation Hitler
(By Georgia News Service)
BRUNSWICK, Ga. —. Declaring
that “our educational system
should ever remain free from the
whim of any ‘hum-bug’ dictator”,
Attorney General Ellis Arnall
speaking here before the state
! convention of Georgia Superior
Court Clerks, attacked Gover¬
nor Eugene Talmadge as the
state’s “imitation Hitler”, seek¬
ing to force his orders.
Although Mr. Arnall did not
call the governor by name in his
address, it was plain to listeners
that he referred to the gover¬
nor’s efforts to oust Dean W. D.
Cocking from the University
system by gaining control of the
board of regents. Mr. Arnall had
previously declared that the reg¬
ents Talmadge requested to re¬
sign because of “illegal appoint¬
ments” held office in entire con-
brmity with the law.
“The people of Georgia will
not long tolerate an imitation
Hitler, power crazy, who seeks
to force his orders on all who
come within his dictorial pow¬
er,” Mr. Arnall declared.
“Democracy,” he said, “will
never tolerate the tyrant, the de¬
spot or the dictator. Democracy
requires all men to conform to
a common rule of right express-
■ e< ^ by law. Democracy allows no
man to rise above the law....
j “God grant that the University
of Georgia will never become
another Louisiana State Univers¬
ity, politically dominated by
second Huey Long-... I pray that
the people of Georgia will de¬
nounce any tyrant who defies
law and spurns rules of right
and decency in order to carry out
his own political whim and in¬
sidious caprice.”
It will be recalled that Mr.*'Ar¬
nall, who has been denouncing
Hitlerism, Communism and all
un-American activities, ruled
Earl Browder, Communist candi¬
date for president, from the gen¬
eral election ticket in Georgia.
In his speech here he said
that if we are to save Democracy
“we need first to start in Geor¬
gia by denouncing dictators and
would-be Hitlers who are drunk
with political power and hallu¬
cinations of greatness. I detest
any man in high public office
who attempts to ape the mad-
dog dictators of Europe____
“I shall always have the cour¬
age to declare “war” on any
enemy of democracy, of toler¬
ance, of decency, of education, ol
law and of order, whoever he
may be----”
Georgia Polio Cases
Not Above Average
(By Georgia News Service)
Atlanta, Ga.—According to the
State Department of Public
Health the number of infantile
paralysis cases in Georgia at the
present is “not at all out of line”
with the average for this time of
year. Dr. Joe R. Bowdoin, as¬
sistant director, said that, al¬
though general precautionary
measures are advisable, “cer¬
is nothing to be a

Dr. Bowdoin recommends care

ations of foods and drinks.

throughout the nation, this week hailed the recent speech of
Sergeant Alvin C. \ork, outstanding hero of World War I,
as a devastating retort to the isolationist views of Charles
Lindbergh.

Sgt. Alvin C. York
Sergeant York, who single-handed
23 years ago disabled 32 German
machine-guns and killed or took
prisoner 157 of the enemy, was
recognized as the perfect foil to
ex-Colonel Lindbergh, who In recent
speeches has advanced the argu¬
ment that American freedom was
not in jeopardy, and that Hitler was
no menace to the people of the
United States.
Speaking on Memorial Day at
Arlington Cemetery, before the
tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the
Tennessee mountaineer and World
War hero said, with reference to
the isolationist America First Com¬

of the trip was to visit the

tor (Wheeler, of Montana) were
denied that privilege, which pos¬
sibly explains why they feel differ¬
ently than the veterans do about
this country’s most pressing prob¬
lems.”
A ‘Humble Citizen*
Sergeant York added that "there
are those in our country today who
ask me and other veterans who
fought in World War I: ‘What did
it get you?’ Let me answer now.
It got me twenty-three years of
living in America where a humble
citizen from the mountains of
Tennessee can stand on the same
platform with the President of the
United States. It got me 23 years
of living in a counry where the
Goddess of Liberty is printed on
men’s hearts, and not only on the
coins in their pockets.
“By our victory in the last war,
we won a lease on liberty, not a
deed to it. Now after twenty-three
years, Adolf Hitler tells us that
lease is expiring. After the man¬
ner of all leases, I have the privi¬
lege of fighting to renew it, or
letting it go by default.
“May God help us to be equal
to the task!”
Recently the New York Herald
Tribune observed in an editorial
that the national leaders of such
groups as the Fight for Freedom
Committee had often seen active
service on the Western Front,
while many of the leaders in the
isolationist-pacifist camp “for var¬
ious reasons” had not served in
the armed services of the United
States In 1917-18.
hicles to travel abreast. On each
side of this street is a platform
ten feet wide and 300 feet long.
The trucker bacus up to tne
outer side of this piatiorm under
the outer edge of the shed and
unloads big produce for sale on
the platform. His truck as well
as his produce is under the shelt¬
er of the roof at all times.
There was not a vacant space
anywhere under the three sheds,
and the parking lot was full of
trucks from many state s waiting
their turn for space to unload
produce. Spaces are rented on a
day to day basis, but often
truckers sell their loads and
leave within a short time.
Every Georga farmer we talk¬
ed with was well pleased. Sever¬
al of the smaller farmers told us
that the market had been very
helpful and that price s had been
much higher this year than in
previous years and profits much
larger.
As we watched the activity
under the sheds, we saw a truck
from Mexico exchanging a load
of pineapples for a load of Geor¬
gia peaches. We saw a produce
peddler load a small truck with
a variety of Georgia products,
such as com, peas, beans, cab¬
bage, onions, melons, peaches
and peanuts to be sold from
door to door. We saw a bus or¬
dinarily used for taking children
to school loading with fresh veg¬
etables for a small town in South
Georgia. We saw several house¬
wives who had come together,
and were evidently planning to
share the bushel baskets of pro¬
duce—the smallest quantity a-
vailable in most cases to the in¬
dividual buyer. We saw another
housewife buying her fruit for
jellymaking. We saw a local mer¬
chant buying his daily supply of
fresh vegetables for sale at the
neighborhood store.
Having walked over the six¬
teen acres covered by this Mar¬
ket, we came to the car at the
Administration building and pro-
Stream Pollution
Law Needed, Says
Director Cravey
Wildlife Director Zack D. Cra
vy said the death of thousands
**f fish in polluted streams this
summer “clearly proves the need
for legislation to combat this
evil.”
This summer’s drought, he
pointed out, lowered the volume
of water in some rivers as much
as 50 per cent and caused the
fish to die before chemicals
dumped in them could be wash¬
ed downstream. “The drought has
shown the need for legislation
which will permit—evdn make
it mandatory for the Division of
Wildlife of the Department of
Health to prevent such pollut¬
ion,” the Director declared.
Most of the poison comes from
chemicals dumped into the
streams by mill bleacheries, al¬
though some of it comes from
being poured in by cities. Accord¬
ing to existing laws, in order for
any steps to prevent such pollu¬
tion it must prove the poison was
put into the stream for the speci¬
fic purpose of killing fish, Di¬
rector Cravey said.
C. C. James, superintendent of
fish hatcheries, recently com¬
pleted a survey of rivers in var¬
ious sections of the state and re¬
ported an extremely large num¬
ber of fish have died because of
chemicals which are injurious to
them being poured in streams.
“Often chemicals which do not
kill humans or livestock will kill
fish in short time,” Mr. James
said. “Both the cities and mills
should run their waste through
septic tanks and remove such
chemicals before allowing the
waste to flow into public
streams.”
Director Cravey declared such
pollution is one of the most ser¬
ious evils confronting fish propa¬
gation and urged fishermen and
landowners to “help create senti¬
ment for legislation to control
it.”
July 4th Picknickers—
Here’s Free Invitation
July Fourth, fun-seekers had. a
“blanket invitation” today from
itate Parks Director K.F. Burch
to spend the holiday in one of
tne state parks.
He said picnic tables under
cool shade trees, pure drinking
water, outdoor ovens and other
conveniences are provided with¬
out charges. Some of the resorts
also offer fishing, dancing,
boating swimming, tennis and
other recreational facilities at
nominal charges.
Following is a list of parks:

ceeded back to the Business dis¬
trict of Atlanta and on to the
State Capitol to visit Commiss¬
ioner Linder.
We were greeted very cordially
by the Commissioner, who seem¬
ed especially cheerful, and upon
investigating we found he had
every cause to be so.
One of his employees whom
he had sent to McRae and Shell-
man, Georgia, to show a sample
crop of Georgia onions to a Pitts¬
burgh buyer had reported to the
Commissioner that the buyer had
bought 600 tons of onions @ 5c
per pound and paid the farmers
cash. This buyer had been con¬
tacted by Commissioner Linder
and was making his first visit to
Georgia. He had been buying
Texas onions but upon his re¬
turn to the Commissioner’s office
he told Mr. Linder that he was
going to buy everything he could
in Georgia hereafter.
Records in the Commissioner’s
office are amazing. Georgia pro¬
duce is bringing millions of dol¬
lars into the State through the
Atlanta market and seven other

Approximately 75,000 new en-

The director said a number of
the abandoned camps may be us¬
