The commission has recommended parole for Richard Gray Gallogly. Gallogly has served a little more than s:ven .years in the state prison. He was convicted of participation in the holdup-murc'ers of an Atlanta drug store clerk and a grocery store man ager. Gallogly was the youthful scion -of a well-known Atlanta family and his tr al attracted national attention. 3ine« his conviction the possibility of a pardon or parole has loomed up in every gubernatorial election. Gallogy’s grandmother is the largest stockhold er in one of Georgia’, most influential dally newspapers. There have been repeated rumors of political trades to •ecure the convicted youth’s freedom. Speculation over the latest develop ment in the case is rife at the cap itol and in political circles through out the state. Ob erve-s pcint or*; t''t the governor 1s placed in an extreme ly unenviable position by tile p.. cn commission's recommendat.on. They say that if Talmadge paroles the youth, he will be accused of dicker ing for political help in the coming flections. On the other hand, if he ghould turn down the recommenda tion, enemies will quickly accuse him of a vengeful attitude. The newspaper leading the fight for Gallogly’s release has been unfriendly to Talmadge ad ministration. SUIT FOR BACK TAXES IS HELD UNNECCESSARY ATLANTA. July 3.—The Georgia Supreme Court has ruled adequate remedies exist in the law for collec tion of back taxes without legal pro ceedings by the state comptroller gen eral against county tax receivers or collectrs.

The court said In Its decision: "We do not think It is necessary for the comptroller general to bring auit either in equity or at law for the purpose of collecting taxes.

(Central Press) LEGENDS ARE BORN FOR POSTERITY INVENTIVE AND IMAGINATIVE MINDS CREATE STORIES THAT LIVE THROUGH CENTURIES. By WORTH CHENEY (Central Press Association) This interesting story is contrib uted by C. David Vormelker. Legends of the old world often have appeared in novels and folk tales. They usually are born because of some superstition or are given to posterity by someone with an inven tive and active imagination. Although tjie United States is rela tively young as a nation, and is not characterized by any such homogen ity as are the nations of Europe and Asia, hem also a wealth of customs, traditions and legends are growing. 1 One legend which has been mak ing the rounds of the nation for sev eral years, and has traveled from the east to the west, and back again, is the story known as*th? “Triple Warn ing.'’ As most- stories that are passed around chiefly by word of mouth, in the telling and the retelling the final story is clothed with an entirely different set of fictional facts than it had at first. Such is the case of the “Triple Warning” and in its pres ent form it has become an entertain ing story. As told most generally, the story concerns a young and beautiful girl of the south. One beautiful night, brightened by a glorious moon, this girl retired and fell into a slumber that was accompanieu by a dream. In this fantasy the girl thought she rose from her bed, awakened by the sound of wagon wheels on the gravel drive outside. She went to the win dow and was horrified to see a hearse with a driver in the somber attire. When this man, standing by the two coal-black horses drawing the coach, saw the girl, he raised his whip and pointed it at her . She spoke to him and asked him what he wanted. He replied, "Are you ready?’* Then, although still awake. the girl Delegates Go Ahead y Mlm Lena M. Phillips Vanguard of the delegates to the congress of the International Fed eration of Business and Profes sional Women to be held in Paris, , July 26-Aug. 1, has sailed for j Europe. Miss Lena Madesin | Phillips, New York lawyer, presi dent, was one. She went early to j arrange final details of the pro gram. saw him turn around and drive j slowly away. Terrified, the girl tried to go back to sleep, but sleep w r as impossible. Finally, when the sun flashed all its colors in the poetry of dawn, she fell asl:ep. She wondered about the dream all day and eventually dismissed it as : being a visual hallucination. That night the same thing oc curred and the following night the j hearse and the driver again appeared j at her window. Some weeks later the girl had oc- ! casion to go to New York city. She i had spent the day engaged in a j shopping tour. In the late afternoon she was in one of the large depart ment stores preparing to go back to her hotel. Walking through one of the departments on an upper floor, she approached the elevators. As she stood wondering whether ! she had purchased all that she want- ! ed. fear gripped her when a voice ! behind her suddenly asked: "Are you ready?” Stiff with fright, she managed to ! turn around to behold the elevator 1 starter looking directly at her and pointing a long finger at her. His uniform was an exact duplicate of the clothes worn by the hearse driver. She had intended to take the ele- , vator,‘but she was so completely un- | nerved by her experience that she , fell in a faint. The elevator doors clanged shut on the passengers already inside. Simul taneously the cables broke and the lift plunged to the ground, bearing its human cargo to swift death. Since that time she never has dis regarded any of the visions that ap pear to her in dreams.

I cannot refrain from express ing my particular thanks and congrat ulations to the chairmen and work ers in the first, second and third con gressional distircts of the state for the magnificent showing so far re ported in those districts. “It so happened that the Demo cratic national convention was in ses sion all of last week as were the con ventions of the Georgia department of the t American Legion and of the American Legion auxiliary. Many who attended these conventions are loyal Democrats who were, on account of their absence from their respective homes, unable to devote their time, thought and attention tothe Georgia Roosevelt Nominators. “They have requested that the cam pagn be extended in order that they might have an opportunity to partici pate. Notwithstanding the fine re sults thus far obtained I do not for the reasons stated want us to cease our efforts until our goal is reached— sloo,oo0 —for the Roosevelt campaign. So, we have deteimined, with the consent of national headquarters to continue our work until Saturday, July 11, at which time results will be finally consolidated and awards of trophies made. "I earnestly request the district chairmen and country chairmen to re port to me frequently as to the progress of their work, and by all means to have in my hands by July 11 at 12 o’clock noon the final results in their respectve districts and coun ties^” GRASSHOPPERS SWARM THROUGH KANSAS CITY KANSAS CITY, Kan..

Parker’s Statement The Parker statement follows: “For six long years I have hoped that it would at some time be possi ble for me to give to my friends In Georgia and to all other Georgians who believe in fair play an opportun ity to right the wrong that was done to me by the state democratic con vention that was held in Macon in Oc tober, 1930. At that time he people of Georgia had chosen me as their nominee for the office I now occupy. The state committee certified my name to the convention, along with the names of the other nominees of the party. All of the other nominees were ratified by the delegate/ to the convention, but the name of William B. Harrison was substituted for mine from the floor. On the vote that was taken on this motion, delegates of the people from 21 counties that I had carried in the primary of Sep tember 10, voted the unit voes of their counties for Mr. Harrison. If this manner I lost the nomination. Al though the will of the people was thwarted by this unprecedented ac tion I accepted my defeat as grace fully as I was able to.
