Review of 0a*
News In Brief
(By The Associated Press)
not the new
Marion Allen of MilledgcviUe,
Georgia i Roosevelt Campaign Man
ager '.ate- last week denied in a
statement at Atlanta headquarters
that the New Deal was responsible
lor the state's present financial situ
ation. Such a charge had been made
bv Governor Eugene Talmadge. arch
new deal critic within the Demo
cratic party. Talmadge had said
L situation was “deliberate*
brought about by the New Deal to
stop Talmadge from campaigning.
-As a matter of fact", said Allen.
-The Federal Government has lit
eral/ poured millions of dollars into
the state in order not only to help
finance our state government, but
to relieve the unfortunates among
the masses of our people.**
Earlier in the week. Allen had
critisized the “moneyed interests**
which clamored for President Roose
velt to save the country from the
depression in 1933 but which have
since “turned against their benefac
tor." “On their knees a few rich
men begged Roosevelt to bring them
relief when he was inaugurated in
1933," said the Milledgeville attor
ney. “Now those same few are fight
ing against the one person who
saved the United States from utter
ruin." Allen spoke at the first of a
series of luncheons given at Atlanta
by the friends of Roosevelt Club.
The March meeting is scheduled to
lie held at Warm Springs with the
Fourth Congressional District Wo
men as hostesses. Mrs. Henry West
c,f Florida is to address the April,
meeting and Caroline O'Day. Cor.-1
qrosswoman-at-lnrgb from New J
York and a former Georgian, and
Lucy Cobb, a student, are sche
duled to speak at the May meet
ing.
BARRON HITS THE LINE—
Marion Smith, chairman of the
Board of Regents of the University
system was was removed late last
last week by Governor Eugene Tal-
madge and David T. (Red) Barron,
one-time Georgia Tech star and now
a college president, was named to
succeed him. The only reason stated
by Talmadge was that Smith was
serving at his pleasure, but all ob
servers looked behind the scenes
and remembered that Smith was at
torney for George B. Hamilton,
recently ousted State Treasurer,
and also for the Fulton National
Bank, which earlier last week had
refused to cash a check on state
funds written by J. B. (Tobc) Dan
iel. State Treasurer appointed to
succeed Ham: ton. The bank said it
wanted to wait and see who was
the legal treasurer.
Smith was the thirteenth official
removed by Talmadge since the
red-iuspendered executive has been
in dYice.
—and named some new ones. Those
designated, with the assertion that
others would probably follow, were
the Milledgeville Banking Company
and Milledgeville Exchange Bank,
both of Milledgeville; The National
City Bank of Rome; The Merchants
and Citizens Bank of McRae; Mon
roe County Bank, Forsyth; Citizens
Bank cf Gainesville, and The Bank
of Oglethorpe at Oglethorpe. The
Governor ordered that county tax
collectors deposit their state taxes in
the depository nearest them.
TOBACCO CALL—
A call f<> r a mass meeting of
Georgia tobacco growers to discuss
crop control was issued late last
week by the Lanier County Board
of Trade at Lakeland. Secretary Lon
Burton was instructed to contact
growers and arrange details for the
meeting. The Board's resolution said
it was vital that the state adopt
some plan and cooperate with other
states in controlling production. A
meeting to work out a plan in
Washington last week collapsed
when it was learned there was
probably no possibility df an extra
session of the Georgia legislature to
consider the matter. Other ctmtrl-
buting factors were also blamed for
the meeting's failure to adopt a plan.
BOB WHITE GETS RESPITE—
Georgia hunters were greasing
their trusty guns this week and
looking forward to next fall, for the
hunting season ended late last
week. The largest carryover of
game in a decade was expected, due
to the bad weather which prevailed
this winter. Experts declared next
season’s hunting should be the best
in years, and the season just closed
was somewhat of a record breaker,
itself, in the amount of game avail
able. Although the number of li
censes sold for the 1935-38 season
had not yet been complied by Com
missioner Zach Cravey. it was be
lieved they would surpass the re
cord of 100.000 sold in 1934-35.
PROMINENT GEORGIANS PASS
ON—
Georgians mourned the passing
last week of two men who have
been prominent in their respective
fields. At Savannah, the Rev. Wil
liam F. Smith, retired Methodist
Minister of Quitman, died in a hos
pital. Funeral services were held in
liis home city. For more than 45
years he had been a member of the
South Georgia Conference and
known and loved throughout the
entire state. At Marietta, Colonel J.
Colton Lynes, 91. long prominent
military and educational circles of
Georgia, died at his home. Col.

thc states, having fought un
der the Confederate flag in 10 ma
jor battles of that conflict Later he

was a native of South Cardina.
