City Offices Too Much
Affected by Politics. "

But Judge Gambler has two more
years to serve as alderman. He is
chairman of the council finance com
mittee and one of the most active city
officials
Il intend to continue to give my best
services as alderman" he continued.
Il srealize the great crisis we face to-
day, | see a wonderful opportunity
The greatest ambition of my life is to
help leave for my children and the
generations to come the greatest city
on earth"
Judge Gambler did not go much into
details Of the present city's problem, as
he sees them. He touched upon the
tendency to break away from moral
lines. He said that city offices were
too much affected by politics. He said
the most imperative need was a more
efficient street and sewer system and
that city Developments should be made
on more scientific lines.
The irregularities of our tax sys-
TEN demands a complete revision" he
said. These will show the way for
reforms elsewhere

Reforms Needed
Everywhere, He Saws.

Reforms are needed everywhere.
We need the best city engineer in
America to plan for the great building
opportunity that is today open to us.
THE next mayor of Atlanta will be-
the man on whose shoulders the great
er part of these tremendous RESPONSE
bilities will fall. There could be no
bigger opportunity to a man who would
serve unselfshly bravely and patriot
icalIy."
These statements were made in an
interview with a reporter for The
Georgian Judge Gambler made them
after reiterating the statement recently
published that he would not be a can
didate for mayor
Il have told my friends and support
ers finally that I viii not be a candi-
date he said. The job will require
more time and effort than could pos
sibly give it,"

SENATE VOTES NOT TO
BAR POSTAL CLERKS
FROM LABOR UNIONS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The pro-
vision of the postoffice bill dealing with
the right of postal employees to organ
ize and to petition congress was the
storm center in the senate today.
An amendment offered by Senator
Jones, of Washington, that any organi-
zation of the employees must not be
affiliated with any outside labor organ
ization was rejected by a vote of 81
to 20.
Senator Bourne offered an amend
ment providing that no organization of
employees shall be of a secret nature.
The right of Federal employees to
strike was freely discussed by the SEN
ators. Senator Smith, of South Caro-
lima, defended the right of government
employees TO organize and affiliate
with other labor organizations. Sena-
tor Root took issue with him, declaring
this might lead to a strike of govern
ment employees and that the right to
strike is possessed only by workers
upon private enterprises.
Senator Smith, of Georgia, said:
For government employees to organ
lie to strike is for them to organize to
overthrow law inasmuch as their
status is fixed by law. We do not
question their right to petition con-
gress, but any effort to change condi-
lions imposed by law except by chang
ing the law is revolution"

City Officials Fear Measure
Long Delayed, May Not
Reach Vote This Session.

City officials were alarmed today by
the fear that the charter amendments
unanimously requested by the council
might fail to pass the legislature before
the adjournment of this session. They
charge that on account Of the juggling
by the representatives last year no
charter amendments were obtained and
that Atlanta would suffer much if the
provisions requested are not granted.
They asserted that Senator John NJ.
Slaton and Representatives McEIreath,
Brown and Westmoreland are respon-
sible for the fate of this important
legislation. City Attorney James L.
Mayson has spent his entire time the
last few days looking after the bills.
But the session adjourns tomorrow.
The bills were ready to be passed weeks
ago. They have not passed yet,
Streets Reform Clause Vital.
The most important amendment is
the authority to be granted the council
to reorganize the street Improvement
system. Council took the action asking
for the amendments as result of a
campaign by The Georgian for better
streets. There are other important
provisions also.
The bill passed the house some weeks
ago. 1t passed the senate today, but In
the senate an amendment was at
tached requiring that the annexation
of Capitol View be submitted to vote
Of the people Of Capitol View, and the
whole bill must again be approved by
the house

separate bill. has been lost. Juggling
caused its death, IT is said. A number
Of the residents were much opposed to
annexation Shelby Smith, county
commissioner from the county at large,
was one Of the moving spirits for It,.
Because the law requires that Mr..
Smith must live outside the city of At
lanta to hold his job on the county
commission. a special bill was intro
duced allowing Mr.. Smith to serve out
his term should Ormewood be annexed.
The annexation bill and the bill affect
ing Mr.. Smith passed the house and
reached the senate. The opponents of
annexation got the special bill affecting

agreed to stop the fight for annexa

At 8 o'clock the bullet had not been

two and one-half inches on either side
of the spinal cord, guided by the X-ray
photographs. No trace Of the bullet
was found, but working carefully and
skillfully, the surgeons continued the
remarkable search.
No loose bone. which 1t was feared
might be resting against the spinal
cord, was found. The physicians kept
working cautiously down toward the
vertebrae, and as Graces circulation
