in the Henry Grady Hctel next
Monday morning.
Col. Allen said today that o.tly
volunteer workers would be used in

been more offers than were need
ed. With hundreds of telegrams and
letters yet unanswered, the local at
torney tackled this job Wednesday
in an effort to clear his desks so
that he can return to Atlanta Fri
day a.’temoon.
Formal demands were rradv 03
Col. Allen upon Hugh Howeii, chair-
of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Georgia, asking that
presidential preferential primary
be called In Georgia In order that
the voters might express their choice
for the Democratic nomination at the
ballot box. Chairman Howell said
the committee would meet soon and
give due consideration to the de
mand. Cd. Allen said Mr. Howell
gave no answer at all and that it
would appear that the state com
mittee will not conduct a primary.
At the meeting in Atlanta, the
committee of 28 Georgians passed a
resolution giving Col. Allen “full
complete and plenary powers’* to
manage and direct the campaign.
The committee pledged its full co
operation.
