I tFtdnesday ot’emoon that Manctter
Frank D. Adams, manager of the
fampus Theatre, had not violated
Ihe city ordiance prohibiting Sun-

"been presented tc show that all the
funds derived from the operation of
c theatre on Sunday, had been turn
over to the American Legion
Auxiliary - to be used for charity.
Judge Carpenter said that since the
theatre was operated by the Legion
Auxiliary and that all funds were
given to them for charity work in
the county, there was no violation of
the city ordinance.
The theatre was not opened last
Sunday pending the court decision

SENATOR LAUDS
PRES. ROOSEVELT
Sector Rickard B. Rtuiell, Jr.,
Chief Speaker at Kiwuus
Ladies Night Last Tharsdaj.
Asserting the election of a Demo
cratic go^emc* in Kentucky was
a “vote of confidence’’ in the nation
al administration, Senator Richard
B. Russell. Jr.. <D.. Ga.). predicted
re-election of President Roosevelt
next year by “one of the great-
majorities ever given a presi
dent.”
The senator ridiculed "hobgoblins"
of “radicalism" and “dictatorship"
which he said liad been raised by
opponents of the “New Deal” and
added, “we have a more Democratic
government today than ever before."
Senator Russell described the
Roosevelt program of submitting
New Deal legislation to a yearly
vote of the framers as an example
of the Democracy of the adminis
tration.
Speaking at a Kiwanis Club meet
ing. Russell said, “one of the most
popular hobgoblins raised by the
opponents of the administration is
that our constitution is in danger
and that an underhand power,
guided by the president, seeks to
strike down the palladium of Amer
ican liberties."
“They raise the cry. ‘let’s have
the constitution in the name of Jef
fersonian Democracy.' Yet they seen
to forget that the first amendments
proposed to the constitution were
proposed by Thomas Jefferson him
self. I dcubt if any president
attacked more vigorously than
Thomas Jefrerson on the charge
of violation of the constitution.
Jefferson stood for progress."
Russell said the constitution hau
been amended in times past
the needs of changed conditions and
of progress.
The senator praised President
Roosevelt's recovery’ program and
said “fake remedies to provide
life of luxury for all without effort
economically impossible."
cr are we going back to the
of the privileged few. under
which the few plundered the many.
l a day dl equality o? op
portunity, when the government
moves that the strong not prey up-
eak, when there shall be
equal opportur.ty.
» living in a day when the
government is acting to see that
none starves in a land cf plenty.”
Russell was introduced by Marion
Allen. Milledgeville attorney, as “a
friend of our friend, the president.”
Senator Russell praised Congress-
an Carl Vinsrn for “standing by
the president." This is Vinson’s
home.
Russell said he was “amazed" thp
other day to see young Teddy Roose-
■elt hurl a charge of radicalism at
the administration when his own
father once proposed "a vote of citi-
rerride opinions of the su
preme court."
Senator Russell was given a great
ovation at the conclusion of his ad-
