the friends Of Editor John Temple
Graves. Of the Atlanta News. and Col.
James W. English. Jr., chief of the
governors staff, who have in the last
few days denounced each other as
liars in published cards in connec-
tion with litigation over the Atlanta
News, which arose from an injunction
to prevent Graves frcm lauding him
self on it's editorial page.
''In his last card Col. English said
that Col. Graves is such continu-
Gus liar that it is impossible to speci-
fly the myriad lies he has told during
the course of this affair

the lie to the statement made by Eng

"With percentage after the first

:.You see,' he went on, trst-class
