Absence Of Legislative
Action Provokes a
Curious Situation

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. IS (INS)
Martial law will be ordered by
Gov Eugene Talmadge early in
1856, to enforce operations OF
Georgia's fiscal machinery, the
Atlanta Georgian said in a copy
righted article today.
The Georgian, quoting, it said,
an authoritative source, stated
high officials assigned the follow
ing four reasons for the contem-
plated military rule-aS the State,
for the first time in its history,
faced a two-year financial pro
gram for which no specific legis
1ative measures have been voted:
/. Eleven million dollars have
been saved in the past through
departmental administration by
troops.
2. No citizen has ever been
injured by guardsmen.
3. Doubt as to the efficient
operation of departments and in
situations if faced by constant
legal proceedings.
4. Positive decision there will
be no extra session Of the legiS-
lature to vote appropriations.
Reaction throughout the State
relative to the intentions of the
Executive continues to divide
opinions into opposing camps.
A general "tax strike" through
failure of citizens to return their
property for taxation is advocated
by State Representative Milton A.
Shirah. of Colquitt County.
Friends of the Governor, how
ever, maintain steadfastly he will
be successful in his program and
that the State will save money by
it.
The Executives actions will be
entirely constitutional, it has been
declared by Hugh Howell, one of
the Governors legal advisers.

I'm PULLING
0UT,' SAID
MISS TODD
Star Expected Great
Change After Seeing
PsychoanaIyst

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. Is GN.SO.
Before her mysterious death 10
days ago, Thelma Todd, film star
and cafe owner, expected "a great
change" romantic and financial,
to take place in her life, and she
was deeply perturbed over some
thing. This circumstance, barred
by intimates of the star, was being
studied today by a grand jury de-
termined to get the truth of the
matter"
AS the condolences given to her
friends injected new mystery into
the case, the grand jury admitted
it did not yet have the whole
truth.
Miss Todd's modiSte, Miss Helen
Ainsworth, said the star told her
there was to be a change. and
that she was pulling out of here"
Jurors Baffled
Jurors admitted they were BAT.
fled as to whether this meant Miss
Todd was pulling out" of her
business, a part ownership Of the
Sidewalk Cafe, or pulling out" of
her partnership with Roland West,
one-time motion picture director.
The stars attorney, Ronald But
ton, revealed that Miss Todd was
worried and was on the point of
confiding something to me-" The
attorney said he believed it had
to do either with her financial or
her romantic affairs.
AS the jury still was presented
with the triple problem of murder,
suicide or accident, to explain how
Miss Todd's body, clad in evening
clothes and bleeding at the mouth,
came to be in her sedan in a
closed garage, the modiste and the
attorney scoffed at the suicide
theory.
ZaSu Pitts, Witness
They, as well as Miss Todd's
many friends, have said repeat
edly she seemed happier just be-
fore she met her fate December
Is, than at any other time in her
life.
Zasu Pitts, longtime co,player
with Miss Todd, and member of a
luncheon party with her shortly
before her death, said Miss Todd
and she did their Christmas shop
ping together, and she knew Miss
Todd planned happily about the
holidays. Miss Pitts was sub
poenaed for Friday when the
grand jury resumes its official in
vestigation.
The principal reason for calling
Miss Pitts, however, is further
attempt to establish identity of
the mysterious San Francisco bust
ness man with whom Miss Todd
said she was having the great
est romance of her life"
I'm Pulling Out"
First word of this new romance
was given to the district attorney
by Ida Lupino, dancer and init
mate friend of the star. Miss
Lupino said Miss Todd told her
about this new love at party in
the Trocadero cafe the Saturday
before the tragedy.

husband, j. L. Woodall, former
