SAVANNAHIANS
ESCAPE DEATH IN
BRUNSWICK WRECK
LYNCH FORCED OVER EM
BANKMENT TO AVOID
COLLISION
Pour Savannahians miraculously
escaped death in Brunswick yesterday
afternoon about 4 o’clock when the
automobile in which they were rid- ■
ing toppled over an embankment and
came to rest bottom side up in a
shallow creek. ;
The driver of the car was Stacey

than minor injuries. After receiving
treatment at City Hospital in Bruns
wick they returned to Savannah last
night.

the crash and reported to Police Chief •
J. E. Register of Brunswick that the
accident occurred as the Savannah
car rounded a curve in the city at a
speed, estimated at 50 miles an hour.
The party left Savannah Saturday
morning for Jacksonville and were on 1
their return to Savannah at the time. I
Lynch was driving north on Glouces
ter street. At the Intersection of Glenn ,
avenue there is a curve. Miss Kent
said today the cause of the smash- i
up was that another driver headed in <
the opposite direction to their ma
chine. She said this driver swung out ;
in rounding the turn and Mr. Lynch
drove the car*over the embankmsnt to :
avoid a collision. She denied that their
machine was moving swiftly. •• •!

times in plunging down the embank
ment into the water. Fortunately the I
tide in the salt water stream was not
high and only about four feet of water
stood In the creek. There is a filling <
station near where the accident hap- I
pened. i
Occupants of the gas station and
bystanders, rushed to the scene. They
broke the glass in the auto doors and I

Mrs. Strickland was treated for a 1
dislocated shoulder but sustained only
slight bruises and scratches.

MAY RE-WRITE ENTIRE
MEASURE
WASHINGTON April 27 (TP)
The Senate finance comittee got down
to work today on the Administration’s
Tax Bill. Treasury Secretary Morgen
thau was called as the first witness.
In the other wing of the capital
House Democrats are lining up with
their party leaders to push through
the bill. The limited debate is ex
pected to end today. Speaker Byrns
said he doesn’t expect any major
amendments to be tacked onto the
bill in the house. He added that “no
body knows anything about It.”
It may be different in the Senate.
It has been widely predicted that the
Upper House will rewrite the entire
bill, despite Administration pressure
to get it out the way as soon as pos
sible.
Republican members of the house
ways and means committee will meet
this evening to decide whether they
will try to amend the administration
tax bill.
Rep. Woodruff, of Mich. Republi
can member of the committee, said
they have not decided what amend
ments if any be proposed. Democratic
leaders in the House have indicated
a belief that the measure will go
through to the Senate virtually as
written. The Senate finance commit
tee opened hearings on the $800,000,-
000 bill today.

SAVANNAH, GA., MONDAY 27, 1936
SOCIALISTSAND
COMMUNISTS BOTH
CLAIMING VICTORY
RESULTS OF FRENCH ELEC
TION COME IN
SLOWLY
PARIS, April 27 (TP)—French
Socialists and Communists each
claimed victory today while elec
tion reports came slowly in from
outlying districts.
Late bulletins say 54 left wing
candidates are assured of parlia
mentary seats by absolute major
ities piled up in yesterday’s ballot
ing. Thirty five center party can
didates also were swept into office
yesterday and 66 right wing can
didates were declared winners.
Final results are still lacking in
many instan-es, but it is certain
that run-off elections will be nec
essary next Sunday in 365 French
election districts. Failure by any
candidate to win an absolute ma
jority in the first elections neces
sitates a run-off election at which
a plurality means election.
French political authorities gen
erally admitted that Communists
would win more new parliamentary
seats than any other. It was held
probably at Paris that Socialists
will replace the largest party in
the Chamber of Deputies when the
final results are totalled. Socialists,
Communists and Radical Socialists
joined in a united front against the
right wing forces in yesterday’s
election. The Centrists made a sur
prising showing in the fact of cam
paign predictions that they would
be cause between the right and left
wing fires and squeezed out of the
political picture.
