mnnt became more ominous to
day as members Of the State
senate awaited an answer from
Coy. Eugene Talmadge to their
latest request for q special ses,
sion of the general assembly to
straighten out tangled financial
affairs.
More than a dozen senators at
a surprise" meeting here yester-
day signed resolution insisting
that the governor call the spe-
cial session. Although the reSo-
luton itself carried no threat,
several of the members were out
spoken in favor of Impeachment
proceedings should the governor
ignore their request.
AsSailing the governor for his
attempts to run the State with
out an appropriation act, Sen

"That wild man from Sugar
Creek with the red galluSes Is
going to rule Georgia unless
we put a stop to him."
Senator Allen Chappell, of
Americus, who initiated the move

the governor would not bring q
favorable reply. Then he added:

call ourselves into session for
