ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 6. (UP)
Two men were killed and a score
wounded in violence that broke
out in two Georgia towns yester-
day as union strikers attempted
to make more effective general
textile walkout call which had
forced more than half the South's
mill workers into idleness.
Deputy Sheriff w. M. Hicks
and J. V. Blaylock, union man,
were wounded fatally in a gun
battle between police and "out-
side" strike sylnpathizers at Tri-
on, Ga. Fifteen others were
wounded, one seriously.
Pickets beat a policeman as
workers left the Enterprise mill
at Augusta, Ga, for the day and
four of them were shot, one criti-
cally.
Scattered disorders occurred in
the Carolinas but no gun play was
reported and none hurt seriously.
The battle at Trion was brief
but bloody affair. The Trion mill
was operating yesterday with a
skeleton force. Some 5000 work
ers were on strike. A group Of
Is strike sympathizers, most Of
them members of the Iron Mould
ers Union, came in from Rome,
Ca, to help close the mill.
Deputy Sheriff James Parish
said the group came up to Deputy
Granville Ball, on guard at the
mill door, and asked him to sur
render his gun. When he refused.
they dragged him to a corner OF
the mill. Ball jerked out his gun
and started shooting, woundine

"The British public SERVICE" he
amplified, met this difficulty many
years ago. A special administrative
class was created for the purpose of
carrying on the higher and more re-
sponsible type of administrative work.
To this class young men from Oxford
and Cambridge, and to a lesser extent
from other English universities, are
directly recruited when they complete
their university work, on the basis of
an exceedingly difficult general ex-

Two Bills Up.
DR.. White mentioned two bills now
pending in Congress for putting post

support this legislation.
He recalled that President Roose-

to say that could 1t once be elimi-

Miss Wells is chairman of legiSla-

Urged for Public Service.
The need for encouraging more
men and women from colleges and
universities to enter public service
was emphasized by Leonard D. White,
member of the Civil Service Commis-
sion, in an address.

He suggested that the same general

be undertaken with the cooperation
OF the commission, and mentioned
social work as an example.
Concluding, Mr.. White voiced the
opinion that in the future a strong

BATTLE WITH SHARK
DESCRIBED BY BEEBE
Scientist Says Encounter Was In
cident in Getting New Fish
Specimens.

An under sea fight with a shark was
merely an incident yesterday to DR..
! William Beebe during a dive with a
helmet in shallow water near the edge
Of Bermuda's coral reef. according to
cable to National Geographic Society
headquarters here.
The naturalist had gone down with
an underwater dynamite gun and had
just shot a sharp -nosed puffer when a
5-foot shark swooped down on the
stunned fish. DR.. Beebe fought off
the shark with the iron handle of his
retrieving net and obtained the speci-
men. The short but lively scufie was
witnessed by member of DR.. Beebe's
party from a launch above through
water glass.
DR.. Beebe has long insisted that
sharks are not in reality the menace
to man that they are in popular
opinion. When he came to the sur
face with his specimen he remarked:
Now you see how little reason we
have to be afraid of sharks" A few
moments later he went down again.
Later in the day the shallow diving
was again interrupted by sharks and
by barracuda and a green moray eel,
but none attacked DR.. Beebe and his
under water companions. Two excel
lent specimens of butterfly fish were
obtained by use Of the dynamite gun
Dr. Beebe1s schedule calls for deep
sea trawling today in an effort to net
some of the fish seen from the win
, dows of the Bathysphere during the
deep Give Saturday. Later in the
week. if the weather is favorable, an
other deep dive will be made, probably
to a depth of half mile. The dive
of last Saturday was 130 feet short
of the half mile mark
