Louger KmIct Effort to Get
ffghwajr Money (for Georgia.
Congressman Carl Vinson iraued
statement las: week in which he
denied the accusation* made by
Governor Eugene Talmndge the day
icfore that the Congressman was
•ppo*ed W the highway money com-
ng to Georgia without restrictions,
Governor Talmadge accused the
Congressman of betraying the state
and the Georgia delegation after
won had urged that the
money be sent here under Federal
joipervUion. Governor Talmadge
refused to accept the money as off
ered by the Federal government
when it waa specified that federal
engineers should supervise itx ex
penditure pend'jig the settlement of
the controversy betwen 'he Gover
nor and the highway board. The
money has been withheld from Geor
gia until the courts recognize the
new board as the constituted body
authorized to spend thin money.
Congressman Vinson went
Washington with other members of
Congress from Georgia and urged
that the money be released and
cured in having it released with the
provision that the federal engineers
supervise the work. The Governor in
refusing to accept it made an at
tack on Mr. Vinson.
The Congressman's reply in part
is as follows:
These obstructing criticisms on
the port of Governor Talmadge, the
contents of which are being played
Republican prri« as indicating
the sentiment of Georgians, are
placing the people of our President's
idoptcd State in a false light before
the nation.
The people of Georgia are entitled
to know whether or not the reason
that the Governor i* he*<’.ating to
accept the terms that will be im
posed by the Federal authorities ii
due to the fact that with Govern
ment control thrown around the ex
penditures, he will be unable to play
politics with this money.
