Georgia's Governor
Loses i'm Senate Race

In Georgia's primaries Tuesday,
Senator Richard B. Russell, Jr., led
Governor Eugene Talmadge by big
majority of the popular vote and by
overwhelming odds on the basis of
county unit votes. The county unit
sytem gives each county's vote to the
candidate receiving the majority
popular vote in the county.
The primary climaxed bitter
campaign in which Governor Tai
madge asasiled the New Deal policies
of President Roosevelt and Senator
Russell defended them, in seeking
the Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate.
Talmadge had toured the country
earlier in the year speaking against
Roosevelt.
Nomination in Georgia is equiva-
lent to election, as in South Carolina.

Greeks Fall Under
Hand Of Dictator

Greece is the fastest Of the grow
ing list of European nations TO feel
the strict regulations of a dictator
ship. Dictator John Metaxas, SO, has
taken charge of that country with
the following measures being en-
forced:
mo Greek citizen may obtain a
passport to travel abroad without
paying 5000.
Ali safe deposit vaults are UNI
der the supervision of police.
3-Possession of foreign currency
is forbidden.
Banking money outside the
country is penal offense.
5-Newspaper criticism Of. the
government is forbidden.
General Metaxas' first step, after
his quiet coup in selling the relgns
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS with the
full approval of King George
to abolish parliament.
The dismissed politicians TUNED
and ranted, and volcanic grumbles
came from those who saw it as a
drastic infringement on their rights
of popular representation in govern
ment
The shrewd Metaxas, however.
quickly won over the common people
by announcing that salaries OF the
ousted solons would be used for soup
kitchens.
In laying down the stiff 5000 pass
port fee, Metaxas has dealt one more
blow to world travel agencies max
ing it difficult for Greeks to go
abroad.
While Hitler in Germany has for
hidden Germans to take more than
ten marks (about 81 out of the coun-
try) Metaxas has gone about it in the
opposite direction, making it virtu-
ally out of the question for the aver
age Greek to consider foreign travel
by soaking him SO hard he can't at
ford to leave.

Contractors Push
Work on SIS Miles
Of Ridge Parkway
About $500 Men Are Working;
Largest Public Works
Project in Section

With work progressing at the pres
ent rapid gait, that section of the
Blue Ridge parkway between the
Carolina Virginia line and Deep Gap
about SIS miles should be virtual
ly completed in a year from this
date.
Contractors are pushing work on
six projects and are using every day
light hour in an effort to complete
their work in the specified II months
from time of beginning, although at
least one contractor may be late IN
getting his part of the boulevard
grade completed. Approximately l.
500 men are being given employment
on, the parkway, which is by lar the
largest Public Works project In this
part of the state.
From point near Roaring Gap
the parkway will follow closely the
summit of the Blue Ridge and will
afford the user an unexcelled pana-
romic view of the Blue Ridge coun-
try and a great portion OF Piedmont
North, Carolina. The parkway ira
verses Allegheny county in a south
westerly direction and touches
Wilkes county first att point near
Airbellows gap on the Blue Ridge.
From that point it swings along the
summit in Wilkes and Ashe counties
to Deep Gap, from which place the
Boone Trail highway will be used
temporarily to Boone.
A wide right of way has been OBJ
tanned and in addition to the scenic
easements about 1000 acres OF land
has been optioned for park and rec
reational purposes. Included in this
land is about 1000 acres of the east
.Iern slope of the Blue Ridge in Wal
nut Grove township in Wilkes coun-
ty. On this land is some beautiful
mountain scenery, including the
Bluffs, an almost perpendicular prec-
ipice of stone extending from the
foot nearly to the summit OF the
Blue Ridge. 1t is understood that
camp sites, Fairgrounds and possibly
a small lake may be constructed on
the headwaters of Roaring River
near that Observation-Disclosures.
