Devoted to The Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. Published Weekly — Since 1901. Dade’s Only Newspaper. NUMBER 21.—VOLUME 44. Governor Receives Wide Comment On Freight-Rate Suit Gov. Ellis Arnall is in receipt of many letters in regard to his plan to file suit in the Unitted States Supreme Court in behalf of freight-rate justice for the South, and “all letters received are complimentary,” he declared. The gist of these communica¬ tions is that the writers appre¬ ciate his doing something about the matter while others just talk. The governor agreed with one writer who said the race ques¬ tion stems from that of freight- rate equalization and economic parity. Arnall supplemented this by saying that “if the South is given economic justice, we can solve the race problem; if the authorities in Washington want to help the Negro let them help the South.” He asserted “there are three groups who oppose the effort to secure freight-rate justice for the South: “1. The railways, who for some reason, do not realize it would be to their advantage to treat the South fairly. “2. Certaih shippers who are willing to seel the South down the river to enrich their own personal businesses. “33. Some politicians who give lip service to the South’s fight but whose heart it not in it. “What we need in the South,” he continued, “is enough jobs for both blacks and whites, and that derv-rls upon freight rates. The thD^nical race-relatiohs people up North should be told that the South is not being permitted to have enough wealth for both races. If the North will give us economic justice and take the foot off our neck, we will solve the race problem.” The Great Invasion JUNE 6, 1944 The fall of Rome seems to have been the signal. Last night, while President Roosevelt pinned millions to their radios to hear his w T orld-wide broadcast, the cross - channel “invasion”—the long-awaited Second Front, got started. By reports, a consider¬ able penetration of German-oc¬ cupied French terriory is now a fact. Seemingly, the expedition met no naval, and very little air resistance. But a report of the moment (9 A. M, CWT) speaks of a battle in the chan¬ nel between German and Allied naval surface units. There can be little doubt of the issue. If the Germans shon’d engage with every fighting ship they have, they would all be sunk today. I am waiting to hear what the Luftwaffe will do. If it is ever to toe useful to the Nazis it is now—today. And if they engage desperately for a finish fight, the Luftwaffe will be finished today. mightily The Reds will strike again,, and in les" than three days. It looks like the closing in for the kill. be! And a killing it’s going to Just wait (not long) until the many “undegtounds” get proper¬ ly going! Wait until the ground begins to shake! Allies will occupy all Germany this time; and they wall need to be tough as Nazi oppressors ever were, to convince those folks once for all that with what measure they mete, it shall be meaaired to them again—that unde; no circumstance must any peopR think that they can’t be brouglt to book for crimes a- gainstihe human race.

HAWKINS, Rising k Cmuitii Trials and Tribulaiions Are Being Overcome Georgia Guardsmen By Weekly Press. Miss Haley Tells Army Men Receive Training ATLANTA. Ga., June 8.—De¬ scribing them as the “smaller napers that are doing a big job,” Miss Frances Haley, secretary of the Georgia Press Association, told Army men of the trials and tribulations being overcome by the weekly press in order to tell their readers the story of the war, when she spoke at the Fourth Service Command public relations conference at the Bilt- more hotel here Monday, June 5. Editors of the weekly news¬ papers, Miss Haley told the con¬ ference, fully realize the im¬ portance of the news of how the Army feeds, clothes, equips and trains the sons of their readers, to fit them for combat and are more than glad to give some of their valuable space to tell that story. But those editors, the speaker made plain, must make sacrifices in ordeer to use such material. “In Georgia.” said Miss Haley, “and throughout the nation, the small papers’ main problem to¬ day is the shortage of manpow¬ er. The scarcity of newsprint or other supplies does not puzzle men in this field nearly as much Marvin A. Allison Is Name Director Georgia Committee Brewing Industry Foundation Former State Legislator and Ex-President of Bar Association Succeeds Wood; Plans to Push Program ATLANTA, June 5.— (Special) —Marvin A. Allison, of Lawrence ville, immediate past president of the Georgia Bar Association, and widely known in civic affairs throughout the state, today was appointed State Director of the Georgia Committee of the Brew¬ ing Industry Foundation. In his new position, Mr. Allison suc¬ ceeds Judge John S. Wood, who resigned recently after having headed the Committee for more than four years and who is now a candidate for Congress from the Ninth Congressional Dis¬ trict. Mr. Allison brings tc his new post a name well known in Georgia. In addition to his ac¬ tivities in the legal field, which resulted in his election to .the presidency of the state bar asso ¬ ciation last year, he was elected for four terms to the Georgia House of Representatives from Gwinnett county. He was a member of the last General As¬ sembly, but did not offer for re- election this year. Active in civic affairs, Mr. Al¬ lison is a former Lieut.-Gov- ernor of Kiwanis in Georgia, and also has served as president and as secretary of the Georgia As¬ sociation of Commercial Secre¬ taries. “I have been deeply impressed wih the policies of the Brewing Industry Foundation, and the progress it has made during its four-year activity in Georgia,” said Mr. Allison, upon accepting the new position. “As state di¬ rector for Georgia, I shall con¬ tinue along the lines already laid down and shall endeavor to make the industry’s Self- OPA District Of f ce Cautions 'A Drivers’ on New Tires Soon Atlanta District Office of Price Administration tire rationing of- ficials today cautoned holders of “A” gasoline raion books not to count* ‘too heavily” on new tires sooh, as indicated in published reports from Washington.

Thus, when a small newspaper says that it has to cut down on work by reducing the number of pages, the reason most often given is the lack of help to produce those extra pages.” Illustrating the shortage of help among the weeklies, Miss Haley declared that papers for¬ merly employing five or six peo¬ ple, are now lucky to have two workers. Many papers, she said, pi'oposition” and these men work from 60 to 100 hours a week, have developed into a “one man She gave the public relations men, who write news from the Army camps, to keep their stories short and she offered them tips on the kind of news the editors are seeking. “The war and it’s problems,” said Miss Haley, “is interpreted to most small cities in Georgia, or in any other state, by the activities of the boys in service from that section. Every¬ thing they do, the promotions they receive, he wounds or med¬ als which come their way, are sources of sincere interest to the residents of the community.” In Quelling Riots Realistic traihing in mob-dis¬ persal and riot-quelling tactics is being given several hundred members of the Georgia State Guard from six counties around Atlanta, who are holding their vigorous exercises in fields near Adamsville. The State Guardsmen divide into two groups, half of them enacting the part of rioters arm¬ ed with bricks, stones, clubs and sticks, and the other half taking the part of soldiers who repel the advancing hordes with rifles, bayonets, gas bombs and hand grenades. The sham battles between the mobs and the troopers become do heated that sometimes real battles develop. Several men have been injured, but only in a minor way. However, the blistering smoke from the gas bombs s r » ds all those who do not have gas masks scurrying to cover. Simulated attacks by Mobs on jails, factories, mine properties and restricted residental areas are held. They are presided over by hard-bitten, tough, young military police officer, Lieut. El¬ mer Rose, loaned to the State Guard by the Army authorities at Fort Benning for the training. Lieut.-Colonel Frank Fling, battalion commander, says the courses will be continued until every guardsman is efficient ih the queuing of riots. Garden Clubs Meets With Mrs. C. Scruggs Mrs. R. V. Clemons of the Missionary Ridge Garden Club of Chattanooga, and Mrs. A. M. Patterson of the Riverview Club were speakers at the meeting Thursday afternoon of the Gar¬ den Club of Trenton. The meet¬ ing was at the home of Mrs. Carl Scruggs with Mesdames J. E. Woodfin, J. M. Carroll and L. M. Allison as joint hostesses. Mrs. lemons spoke on roses and Mrs. Patterson gave a demon¬ stration on arrangement and told of the National Council meeting recently held in Atlanta. Miss Elene Dyer gave a hu¬ morous reading. Mrs. L. M. Allison presided at the business session and report¬ ed $15 collected to be used on the war bond which the club plans to buy in the next drive. Visitors besides Mesdames Clemons and Patterson were Mesdames Tebe Steele of Cres¬ cent City, Fla.; Mrs. W. E. Steak- ley of Atlanta, Mrs. James Mor¬ rison of Birmingham and Mrs. Eloise Wright of Valley Head. The annual picnic which the club gives for the families of the members will take place at the July meeting. Sullivan Will Head Defense Council Lon Sullivan, former com¬ mander of the State Patrol, has been appointed by Gov. Arnall to be director of the Voluntary War Services and Civilian De¬ fense Council for Georgia, which ha,s beeh created by the gover¬ nor through executive order. The organization will serve the state in connection with emer¬ gency and disasters. The order calls on the state patrol, state guard, American Red Cross, lo¬ cal police and fire departments to cooperate with Sullivan in setting up an organization of federal equipment assighed to the State Civilian Defense or¬ ganization. The new agency will not super¬ cede any existing civilian de¬ fense group, but is intended to weld all safety organizations in¬ to a smoothly operating body. regardless of whether or not they are legal residents of Georgia, are entitled to the benefits pro¬ vided for them by Congress in March, 1943.

Starting from English bases, Allied forces swarmed across the English channel Tuesday morning to land oft the Normandy coast of France. More than 4,000 ships, British and American, ferried thousands of troops across the choppy channel. English skies were filled with bombers, fighters, and transport pianes. The invasion coast, German airfields, and communications centers in the in¬ vasion area were bombed as a prelude to the landing. Airborne parachute tloops were reported to have landed in¬ land, behind the beachhead lines. Hundreds of naval guns, ranging from four-to-16-inchers, bombarded the beaches before the infantry landed. Airplane pilots returning from the scene of landing reported that beachheads and been secured and that the infantry was pour¬ ing inland. Tlie big armada of ships, which included everything from big transports to tiny boats, was said to be the greatest array of ship¬ ping ever assembled. Both British and American naval vessels shepherded and protected the invasion vessels, which formed a vast stream from English ports to the coast of northen France. Indications were that the Allies hoped to capture several good ports so that heavy equipment could be put ashore. There also are a network of air fields in Normandy. The Allied command failed to specify the exact si>ot of landings, leaving the Germans to do what guessing they might. However, German sources promptly reported that the first landings were in Normandy. Prime Minister Winston Churchill addressed the house of commons Tuesday morning, telling the English that the great bat¬ tle was joined. He refused to speculate about its course, but he pointed out that weeks of heavy fighting will ensue. Allied commanders reported that the invasion was “proceeding according to plan.” the fight¬ It is too early to get definite reports on the course of ing, but a constant stream of press and radio reports from England is bringing details of the landing. The hard fighting will come, it is predcited, when main German positions are reached, several miles inland. . 1 Hunter Dalton In Race for Judge of Cherokee Circuit’ Has Addressed Citizens of 6 Counties Col. C. Hunter Dalton, a local him. attorney of Dalton, Ga., enters his announcement with this paper for the office of Judge of the Superior Court of this cir¬ cuit. Col. Dalton is by no means a stranger in this county. He, as you know, spoke to the people of this county at the last term of our Superior court, and also appeared oh the stage of the Dade County High School audi¬ torium with his violin and as¬ sisted in the making of music for the Red Cross drive, which his opponent was the chairman. Mr. Dalton states that he has had his eye on this office for some time, as his announcement shows, and he is making an ac¬ tive race over the circuit for this office. Col. Dalton was reared in the county of Catoosa, and says that he broke into the speech making contest by giving the welcome address at the Confederate Sol¬ diers Reunion which was held at the Georgia Monument in Chick- amauga Park the 20tth of Sept. 1906, at which time there were hundreds of veterans present, and which speech was followed by the late Honorable Gordon Lee, who for many years was Congressman for this district. Mr. Dalton worked for about 17 years as telegraph operator and depot agent for the N. C. & St. L. railroad, and worked at many stations between Chatta¬ nooga and Atlanta. Married at the age of 18 and has raised five children, three girls and two boys, having be¬ come a grandfather nearly two years ago. Mr. Dalton has resided in Whitfield county for the past 15 years, was a resident of Bar¬ tow for the year preceeding, havihg moved to Cartersville from Calhoun, where he and family resided for nearly three years. Mr. Dalton was admitted to the Bar of Georgia and began active practice in Gordon county at Calhoun in 1929, maintaining offices in the City of Cartersville and on leaving railroad work permanehtly, located in Dalton and maintained offices in the same building for the past four¬ teen years, and has handled sev¬ eral outstanding cases on the criminal side of court, always working hard for those whom he represented. Mr. Dalton has a keen sense of humor and a warm feeling for his fellow man. To fully ap¬ preciate him is to know him. Mr. Dalton claims to have no hobbies, but 11 some extent is interested in music. He has. rais¬ ed no issue in this, his race, for the office of Judgeship, with his opponent and says that he has none to raise. In fact, he speaks Mr. Dalton’s statement is as follows: To the Citizens of Dade Couhty: After careful consideration on my part I decided to make the race for the office of Judge of the Superior Court of the Chero¬ kee Circuit, and on the 30th day of last June I made my formal announcement over Station WBJL in Dalton. Since that date I have address¬ ed the people of each of the six counties at the court house and elsewhere in regard to my race for this high office. I have received many letters and thousands of hearty hand shakes commending me for run¬ ning for this office. I have raised no issue with my opponent in this race and have none to raise. I have said these words in a- bout all of my speeches: “If you elect me as your Judge, my of¬ fice will be here in the court house during my term, and there you will find me when I am not in attendance on other courts over the circuit.” “I will organize your courts as soon as possible after the ap¬ pointed hour and give to your Grand Jury a fair and full charge relative to our laws and not “politic” during the time I do so, or fail to charge on some law which I know is being flag¬ rantly violated for the benefit of someone who may stand high in the community. “I will, however, ask the Grand Jury in each county in the cir¬ cuit to make recommendations to the representatives for the purpose of guaranteeing to our court officers a living salary while our business is so extreme¬ ly light. “To the poor and unfortunate, I shall deal with mercy and to the intentional law violator, I shall deal very harsh. “At no time will I disturb the verdict of a Jury in order to .oermit the party who has been found guilty to enter a plea to gaih a smaller sentence, or will I permit an indictment to stand wheih has not been properly in¬ vestigated before a Grand Jury. “I will not permit an indict¬ ment to be done away with which has been found by a Grand Jury to accomodate some member of the Bar, nor will I permit an intentional violator of the law to go into the service of our country without first pay¬ ing to that same society which others are governed by after the Grand Jury acts upon his or their case.” I have entered this race and paid my own expenses and if elected, I will owe no special orivileges only to you as the people of this circuit.
