Adams, prominent ■citizen of DeKalb county, as chair man of a committee of DeKalb county citizens to wage an active campaign ila behalf of the election of Albert J. 'Woodruff, of that county, to one of the positions on the state public serv ice commission was announced Wed mesday. It was stated the committee will take the position that since a South (Georgia man will be elected to the other position on the state public serv ice commission and that since there ds one commissioner now on that body ffrora South Georgia and a third mem ber of the commission is from a seo tion considered South Georgia terri (tory, it would be unfair to the rest >ot the state to elect to the fourth ■place on the commission a South aleorgta candidate, there being but five members on the commission. They point out further that if Mr. Wood ruff is not elected, three members of the commission will come from vir tually the same community.
