TALMADGE TELLS
F. D. TO. REFUND
FARMERS’ MONEY
ATLANTA, April 23 —Governor
Talmadge today asked President
Roosevelt to take steps to pay farm
ers back money they were forced to
pay under the old Agricultural Ad
justment Act.
In his weekly newspaper, “The
Statesman,” Georgia's anti-new deal
governor called on the president to in
troduce a bill in congress whereby far
mers would be paid the money they
turned in as “penalty taxes.”
Parts of the article follows:
“Hundreds of thousands of farmers
over the United States paid an excess
ive tax on small allotments given
them by the Department of Agricul
ture for growing cotton, corn, wheat,
tobacco, rice, neanuts and hogs. Where
they grew over the allottment they
were charged another tax and forced
to pay it.
‘ When the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration was declared uncon
stitutional by the Supreme Court the
president said that these penalty tax
es would oe paid back to the farmers.
Since that announcement we have
heard nothing of any bill providing
for payment to these farmers of these
pentlty taxes.
"Why not introduce a bill to col
lect money back and pay farmers who
were forced to pay penalty taxes on
the same unconstitutional law? These
farmers are entitled to this tax pen-i
alty.”

MINE RESCUE
(Continued from Page One)
ed up. He signed off abruptly, al
nv st in tears.
NEWS of the rescue was flashed
quickly around the world. This
strange story, of absorbing interest,
had captured the imagination of peo
ple everywhere. In Ottawa—the Ca
nadian capital—the bells of the Caril
lon on Parliament Hill began to ring
and soon the bells were ringing for
miles around.
Doctors fay both Robertson and
Scaddlng are in better physical and
mental condition than they expected.
However, the terrific ordeal the pair
underwent has left its mark. The
two men, according to the medical
experts at the mine, cannot be moved
to Halifax untl the danger of pneu
monia is lessened by treatment at
the emergency hospital.
Dr. Robertson appears to have
come through in better shape than
Scaddlng, although Scaddlng is the
younger of the two. The Toronto
physician, when he was carried from
the old Moose River mine early to
day, was able to talk at considerable
length. Scadding was unable to
speak above a husky whisper.
The eyes of both men are ban
daged most of the time. Doctors re
move the bandages at intervals to
permit the cave-ln victims to become
accustomed to the light. Hypodermic
injections are easing the pain of bad
ly swolen feet, suffered by both men
during their long Imprisonment.
What impressed medical authori
ties more was the remarkable mental
balance retined by Robertson and
Scadding during the hours of horror
spent below ground. They crouched
in a dismal, dripping cavern with the
body of their companion, Herman
Mcgill, only a few feet from them.
But the two men refused to surren
der to hysteria whch doctors agree
would have brought certain insanity.
Beth men’s wives visited the emer
gency hospital today and spent a few
minutes with their husbands. Mrs.
Magill also is at the mine, but her
visit is a sad one. She and her rela
tives have claimed the body of Dr.
Robertson’s partner in the il-fated
gold mine venture and probably will
arrange for its transportation to To
ronto seme time today.
Tire Canadian minister of mines,
Michael Dwyer, Is at work on a de
tailed report of the mine rescue to be
sent Premier McKenzie King at Ot
tawa. Dwyer termed the rescue one
of the most remarkable incidents in
Canadian mine history. The minis
ter of mines, according to a popular
rumor, will recommend national
honors for the men who helped him
tn the long fight to reach tiw en
tombed, men.

‘"SWAP-IT-SHOP”
UNIQUE BUSINESS
OPENS IN SAVANNAH
“Th© Swap-It Shop”, bring
ing a very unusual business
feature to Savannah, opened
at 110 West Congress Street
yesterday. Its une indicates
exactly the unique type of bus
iness with which it will serve
the public.
If “Mr. Browi?’ has a car
and wants a piano instead, he
takes it to the/‘Swap-It Shop”,
and there the trade is made.
If "Miss Jon/s” wants a new
bonnet, and she has a piece of
furniture that jshe does not
want, the shop fixes up a trade
for her, by getting a druggist
for example, who needs the
furniture to give the hat store
some free drugs in exchange for
a new hat for Miss Jones. It
is all as simple as that.
The store is under the man
agement of A. Marvin Mullis,
who, with his wife, the former
Miss Ixiuise Harvey of Savan

"VEGETABLE BASKET” BURGLAR, NEGRO
LAD, 16, ADMITS TO POLICE THAT HE
ROBBED SEVEN SAVANNAH HOMES
Savannah's “vegetable basket” burg
lar, Louis Broughton, negro, 16, who
was captured by Police Officer J. M.
Byrnes as the boy was robbing a resi
dence in the southern part of town,
has confessed to burglarizing seven
other homes in the same section,
police said today.
Detective Sergt. Ellis and Detevtives
Wiman and Sapp spent this morning
with Broughton checking up on the
homes which were entered and the dis
posal of the stolen goods. Police said
no great haul was made at any of the
residences invaded. Some of the prop
erty has been recovered and efforts
were being directed today toward
rounding up the remainder of the stol
en goods.
Police said the boy broke into soma
of the homes and others he entered
by use of skeleton keys which they
say were found in his possession ifrhen
taken into custody. The negro em
ployed a clever ruse while at work to
cloak his activities, officers reported.
They said it was Broughton’s habit
to carry a basket of vegetables with
him in approaching each domicile
To any suspicious householder the pris
oner would protest that he was on
the property to peddle his wares,
authorities said. At practtically every
home entered a basket of vegetables
was left behind. Police declared the
youth took articles which he could
easily dispose of . They said in one
instance he passed up jewelry valued
at more than SI,OOO, realizing such
a theft would raise a cry.

IRATE MERCHANTS
TAKE UP LIGHTING
FIGHT WITH MAYOR
Representatives of forty-odd irate
east Broughton street merchants who
claim that City Council’s plan for
lighting the retail shopping district
will build a “Chinese Wall” of exclu
sion around them and leave them in
the outer darkness, took their com
plaint to Mayor Gamble today.
According to the present plan for
relighting Broughton street, lighting
fixtures will extend east only to Lin
coin street. The merchants with
places of business east of Lincoln
street are up in arms, claiming they
helped pay for the old fixtures,
which were removed at Mayor Gam
ble’s behest .and are now b-ing de
prived of the benefits of the new fix
tures.
Mayor Gamble some time ago had
the old "White Way” lighting equip
ment removed, declaring it was in
bad repair and outmoded. Then the
city decided to put in new and mod
em equipment, but only as far as
as Lincoln.
Business houses east of Lincoln
on Broughton street include auto and
auto parts sales rooms, drug stores,
clothing stores, delicatessens and
pawn shops. Claiming that the east
ern section of the street is a thriving
business center, entitled to all the
privileges of other parts of the street,
the merchants are now demanding
that council amend its lighting plans
to shed light upon their section also.
GUARD WHO ASSAILED
PHYSICIAN BE TRIED
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., April 23
(TP) — A National Guardsman who
fractured a physician’s skull in a flood
duty scuffle is held by civil authori
ties today.
The guardsman, private Mario Cas
sanelli, was acquitted of assault char
ges by a military court martial. With
his acquittal, civil authorities stepped
in with charges of assault with a
deadly weapon.
Cassanelli was on flood sentry duty
in front of a hospital when Dr. Ben
jamin Alport tried to enter the place.
The doctor failed to show the required
pass. There was an argument and a
scuffle. The doctor, struck over the
head with the butt of a rifle, dripped
unconscious to the pavement. Later,
Dr. Alport insisted he wanted no char
ges made against private Cassanelli.
MASS MEETING
HERE TONIGHT
MILL TAX PLAN
REDWINE AND STEWART
TO BE SPEAKERS; REC
ORD CROWD FORSEEN
Speakers will outline the benefits
of the 15 mills tax limiation a
mendment at a mass meeting of
Chatham county residents at 8:30
o’clock tonight at the Municipal
Auditorium called to enlighten the
taxpayers on the measure and se
cure their support.
Senator Charles D. Redwine,
president of the Georgia senate,
and John P. Stewart, Atlanta at
torney will be the speakers of the
occasion and George W. Hunt,
chairman of the Chatham division
of the Georgia Taxpayers Associa
tion will preside.
Mr Hunt said a crowd was ex
pected which would tax the seat
ing capacity of the auditorium. A
special invitation was extended to
the officials and teachers of the
county’s school system. Ormond B.
Strong, public school superinten
dent, through whom the invitation
was transmitted, informed Mr.
Hunt he had urged a 100 per cent
attandance and anticipated such a
turn-out.
Negro real estate owners have
also been urged to be on hand at
the assembly tonight. A special
section has been reserved for them.
Negro taxpayers will be permitted
to vote in the general election
early in November at which time
the fate of the proposed tax amend
ment to the state’s constitution
will be decided.
Senator Redwine, who will deliv
er the principal address tonight,
is an able and interesting speaker
and his presence will be respon
sible for the attendance of many
Mr. Hunt said Mr. Stewart was un
usually well informed on the Geor
gia tax program as well as the
issue now before the taxpayers.
All taxpayers i*ho intend to
vote on the 15 mill tax limitation
amendment in November have
been urged to register by May 2
that they may become qualified
voters. Mr Hunt pointed out that
women who so far have never vot
ed but who intend to cast their
ballots in November may register
without paying poll tax. These cit
izens are privileged to vote for the
first time without payment of poll
tax.
It is understood that sentiment
in favor of the tax amendment is
by far the strongest in,the rural
districts. Those behind the move
ment expect the favorable rural
vote to turn the tide to victory.
In the cities there are many voters
that either hold intangible prop
erty and fear the passage of the
tax amendment would ultimately
increase taxes on such holdings, or
whose income is derived from state
tax receipts and look with dis
favor on any move which would
diminish the source of such re
ceipts. But in the rural neighbor
hoods the average resident usually
has no stocks, bonds or other se
curities nor does he usually hold
a public office.

NEW YORK. April 23 (TP)—
The stock market was dull and
featureless today. Most stocks de
