NEW SOVIET CONSTITUTION CONTAINS
SWEEPING GOVERNMENTAL CHANGES
MOSCOW, June 12 (TP) —A great
turning point in Soviet history was
marked today by the introduction of
a new Constitution based on Demo
cratic lines.
The new charter of rights for the
Russian people provides for a nation
al parliament elected by secret bal
lot. The parliament will take over
many of the powers exercised in the
last 19 years by the dictatorship of
the Communist party. The parlia
ment is divided into two Houses to
be known as supreme councils. The
councils have the right to declare war,
pass laws and ratify international
treaties'

Refrigerators
A modern ice refrigerator will cost you only half
the amount you are figuring on spending. It will
use so little ice that the iee service man need come
only once in several days. Foods stay fresh longer
because they don’t dry out. Strong food odors don’t
taint other foods . . . because, they are quickly car
ried away through the air-conditioning chamber. In
this way foods retain all their natural nourishment
and there is no loss through spoilage. Only ICE can
give this kind of refrigeration.

While the Communist party is still
recognized as the one official organiz
ation, dissenters from that political
system will have the right to express
themselves through the secret ballot.
All men and women have the right
to vote regardless of their past con
nection with the Czarist regime. Free
education for all peoples in the vast
union is pledged. Freedom of press
and religion and privacy of the mails
are assured.
The sweeping governmental changes
will bring no immediate change in
the governming body. The Constitu
tion drawn up by Stalin and his aides
will be presented to the all-union con
gress of Soviet this fall for their ap
proval.
I DUTTON INSTALLED
AS LION HEAD BY
WAYCROSS LEADER
ENTIRE SLATE OF OFFI
CERS HONORED AT
BANQUET
Edward A. Dutton was last night
installed as the new president of the
Lions club to succeed Capt. A. Lester
Henderson. Amidst festive surround
ings, the new officers were formally
inducted with appropriate ceremonies
led by H. A. Stallings of Waycross
and members of other civic organiza
tions .
A brief review of the major activi
ties of the club during his presidency
was given by Capt. Henderson, who
also presided and acted as toastmaster
for the occasion. Gratification over
the support being given the new tuber
culosis sanatarium movement was ex
pressed by the retiring president, who
appointed a committee to co-operate
in the project. Attention was called to
the club project of a clinic for those
afflicted with defected vision, which
is in charge of L. D. Saunders. A
cocktail shaker and a past president’s
pin were presented Captain Hender
son by the club.
The influence for good upon public
opinion and action of civic clubs was
stressed in an address by District
Governor Stallings, who reminded his
listeners that no communistic move
ment could ever make any headway
in a civic club.
The gathering was entertained with
a very humorous account of the ad
ventures of Savannah delegates to the
recent state convention by Miller
Kaminsky, and Miss Catherine Cohen
entertained with vocal selections. An
amusing reading was given by
Mrs. Mamie Brown. The follow
ing officers were installed: Ed
ward A. Dutton, president; Eugene

Market Letter
WALDO YOUNG—There is need
for continued caution. If the rally
is to be sustained for more than an
other day or two, rails will have* to
participate, and from the trading
standpoint they would seem to be
the logical department to follow.
That, however, does not mean that
they are bound to conform. There
is no change in my suggestion that
the rally be followed, or trading com
mitments, with close stops. It may
go three or four points further in in
dustrials, as a matter of momenutm.
TOPICS —New York Central, slow
at the moment but we look for a
quick run above 40 any day now.

Said Governor Leche: “Men insist
on depriving themselves of the bene
fits of fresh air and sunshine be
cause they think shirtsleeves are im
polite. That’s a foolish idea. Let’s
have an end of it.”

ENDORSEMENT MET WITH
DECIDED APPROVAL
OF GROUP
A proposal to establish a naval re
serve unit at Savannah which would
provide naval training for 105 boys
and the expenditure of $1,500 per
month locally was endorsed by the
Propellor Club at the meeting held
last night at the Hotel Savannah.
The project is to be taken up before
the naval district commandant at
Charleston shortly by Capt. G. J.
Brill and others.
The maritime “law of averages”
was interestingly and informatively
discussed by W. Hugh Stephens, at
torney. This law concerns the ship
per whose cargo is voluntarily sacri
ficed to save the ship it is carried
on being proportionately reimbursed
by those who benefit from the sal
vage of ship and cargo.
Serving on a nominating commit
tee named by President James H.
Byington will be: E. Storm Trosdal,
Jr., chairman; W. L. Mingledorff, E.

SHORT WAVE ANNOUNCES
NEW TRIUMPH IN RADIO
NEW YORK, June 12 (TP)—Fac
simile transmission by short wave
radio is a reality today.
Radio Corporation of America has
demonstrated that it is possible to
transmit blue prints, pictures, hand
writing, newsprint and other visual
matter by short wave.
The demonstration was made on a
three-meter wave facsimiel circuit be
tween New York and Philadelphia.
R. C- A. officials said they believed
short wave eventually would supplant
wire circuits bteween big cities—and
might even offer a challenge to the
air mail. It would be possible, they
predicted, to move 12,000 worda a
minute by short wave over this wave
band—and to carry radio telephone,
pictures, automatic typewriter and
telegraph signals on the same chan
nel at the same time.
