cipline, the removing of a gen.
eral officer from his command,
was invoked against General Ha-
good for his criticism Of the Ad.
ministration'S spending policies.
the War Department has not even
reprimanded General Bash for
his remarkS-nor does 1t plan to
do so.
Conduct Satisfactory
The Army high command main
tains the position that General
Bash, while speaking his mind
freely, did not use the rash Ian.
guage to which it considers Gen.
eral Hagood resorted.
1t considers that General Bash
adhered to the conduct becoming
an officer" in replying to questions
put him by members Of Congress.
whereas 1t holds General Hagood
did not.
General Bash's criticism Of the
Administrators spending pol
icieS was made in the course Of
testimony regarding relief funds
allotted to the Quartermaster
Corps for reconditioning Of Army
housing quarters.
-AssaiIs Allegations
He was asked by Representative
Parks CD Of Arkansas whether
the $7,492, 1855 allotted for recon
ditioning work was allocated to
projects Of q character which
normally would have been pro-
vided for out of regular congres-
sional appropriations rather than
relief funds. Bash replied:
Generally speaking, yes, but
with many limitations. First,
the type Of labor that we were
forced to employ was manifest
ly not 20 efficient as labor
that you could hire In the
community at prevailing wage
rates.
Secondly, the money was not
aIlOcated to us In places where
It was most important, and,
thirdly, the funds were not a.
located in accordance with any
War Department priority or re-
quirements."
Representative Snyder CD Of
Pennsylvania inquired:
"Wh0 determinated the al
location Of those funds In these
places?"
Bash replied:
"Either the Works Progress
Administration, or, previous to
that, the Public Works Admin
iStratiOn."

G0V.TALMADGE
SWINGSAX
AGAIN

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 20 d.N.S0.
Governor Eugene Talmadge, who
earlier in the week ousted the
State treasurer and the comptrol-
Ter, today swung the political ak
again, removing Marion Smith, at
torney, as a member of the board
Of regents Of Georgia University.
In his place, the governor
named David Red" Barron, for
mer football star Of Georgia Tech
and at present head coach at the
Monroe Vocational and Industrial
School at Monroe, Ga.
Smith Leading Opponent
Smiths custer was seen as a re-
priSal move by the governor for
the attorneys active opposition to
the chief executives plan of
operating the State without an
appropriation act.
Smith is representing George B,
Hamilton, who was torcibly re.
moved from the office of State
treasurer, and also is counsel for
the Fulton National Bank, one of
the four major State repositories
in Atlanta which have refused to
honor the signature of j. B.
"Tobe" Daniel, Hamilton'S sue
ceSSor. !
Meanwhile Governor Talmadge
moved Serenely forward in his
plans to operate the State of Geor-
gia without an appropriation act.
S5,O0O,0OO in Treasury
With the vaults of the treasury
holding an estimated $4,000, 900
in ready cash. the department was
functioning normally once more,
despite the fact that major State
repositories have refused to recog-
nize De Facto State Treasurer ].
B. 'Tobe" Daniel, who said:
"We are paying all warrants
for departments and agencies of
the State government when they
are presented"
In addition to filling the treas
ury vaults with ready cash, the
governor won another important
victory late yesterday when the
Post Office Department in Wash
ington instructed Postmaster Lon
Livingston of Atlanta to deliver
all mail addressed to the State
treasurer and the comptroller
general to those offices.
The postmaster had ordered the
mail impounded pending a ruling
from Washington, after George B.
Hamilton and William B. Harri-
son. busted by Governor Talmadge
earlier in the week from the
offices of treasurer and comptrol-
Ter general. respectively. had
claimed the mail.
The ruling from Washington.
however. did not come through in
time to prevent the governor from
filing a petition in Federal court
here for a mandatory Injunction
to compel the delivery Of the mail
to the two State offices.

Of flattery." When the title In
the World Of Music" appeared last
week in a certain newspaper, it
might have been a thoughtlesS
oversight. but when 1t appeared
again yesterday, the intent is
obvious. Thanks for the compli-
ment.
Anyone wishing to 60 to the
trouble may also reproduce music
themes, too. We have often been
asked where wet get these themes.
They do not come to us in syndi-
Gated form. They must be isolated
from conductors scores and drawn
by hand, using q drawing board,
T-square, and line pen.
The line of music is not placed
at the head Of the column only
to catch the eye, but Is used to
induce the average music lover
to become more familiar with the
themes upon which noted compo-
sitions are based. Most readers
are not addicted to sending fan
mail, but frequently we get let
ter like the following, which shows
that some readers are following
the advice to preserve and file the
themes.
A mother writes: "I have been
out of the city. and was not able
to secure q copy Of The Times
for last Saturday, February %.
"As am collecting your themes
which lead your column, for my
daughter, will you please send me,
if possible, q copy Of your column
from the issue Of the 22d?"
Then there was the girl that
called us to task while attending
one of the young peoples concerts
by, the Navy Band Symphony Or
chestra at the Navy Yard Sail Loft,
for repeating several themes that
had appeared last summer in this
column. Occasionally themes are
repeated in order to illustrate COM
positions used on current pro-
grams.
LISTS Hungarian Rhapsody
No. g." q theme from which IS
shown above, will be included in
the young peoples concert by the
U. s. Navy Band Symphony Or
chestra at the Navy Yard Sail Loft
next Wednesday afternoon.
This theme is introduced by the
clarinet, and Is developed to some
extent in the first section. Owing
to the nature Of the form of q
rhapsody, numerous themes are
used. Liszt and Brahms have
both used themes which originated
with Hungarian gypSieS. These
works are great display pieces
though not profound music.
The Metropolitan Opera Quar-.
tet, composed Of Helen Jepson, so

SPEEDER PAYS 5
$5PENALTY.

With a minimum Of noise but
maximum Of neatness and dis
patch, Miss Alice D. Jones, 81, a
clerk in the Senate Committee
on Manufactures, pleaded guilty
to speeding in Traffic Court to-
day and was fined $5, with Judge
Walter Casey on the bench.
The case of Miss Jones, in
whose behalf Frank K. Boal. sec
retary to Senator James j. Davis,
Republican Of Pennsylvania, tele-
phoned traffic division officials,
was handled in the routine man
ner. She was charged with driv-
ing 80 miles an hour on New
Jersey Avenue by Policeman H.
l.. Thompson.
Although denied on Capitol Hill,
it has been fairly definitely estab-
lished that Lieut.. Frank Varney,
Of the traffic division, had been
asked to take care" Of the case
so that it would not go to court.
However, Lieutenant Varney de-
clined the honor, and shortly
afterward news Of the quaSh at
tempt leaked out. Mr.. Boal said
he had called merely to ascertain
the name Of the arresting officer.
Miss Jones case followed the
recent case of two youths put on
probation following their appear
ance in Police Court on charges
Of sounding seven false fire
alarms. Later it was discovered
the papers in their cases bore the
notation Senator Davis in
tereSted."

TERROR REIGN
CHARGED TO
PRESIDENT
By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

International News Service
While Federal Relief Admins
traitor Harry Hopkins investigated
charges of political terrorism"
within the WPA in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia, the Roosevelt
administration itself was assailed
today for creating an alleged
'reign Of terror" to suppress criti.
cism Of its spending program.
Senator Jesse H. Metcalf (RO
Of Rhode Island, fighting for re-
instatement Of Maj. Gen. johnson
Hagood aS Eighth Corps Area COM
mander, charged petty tyrants
and academic autocratS are at
tempting to control the country
by the suppression Of facts and the
Squandering Of money" He termed
1t q reign of terrorism and die
tatorShip."
Held Blow at Free Speech
The removal of Hagood from his
command, because he frankly criti-
eized WPA spending before House
appropriations subcommittee, was
on It's way to becoming cause
celebre." Both Republicaa and
Democratic spokesmen demanded
his reinstatement, with Senator
By1neS DO Of South Carolina, ap-
pea1ing directly to Secretary Of
War Dern to recall the custer
order;
Representative Mcmillan CD
Of South Carolina, member Of the
subcommittee that heard the
Hagood case called it "an un-
fortunate situation" and the gen
erals punishment "ill-advised."
MetcaH used stronger terms.
He declared Hagood's removal was
q ruthless and unwarranted sup
preston Of free speech" He said:
General Hsgood's removal Is
simply another instance Of the
terrorism which exists in Wash
ingtOn. Petty tyrants and
academic autOcrats are attempt
ing to control this country by
the suppression Of facts and the
SQuadering Of public funds.
TERRORISM CHARGED
Even persons In private life
who dare to criticize the New
Deal are not immune from
persecution. They are subjected
TO mud singing and official
interference with their private
business, even to the extent Of
turning MP their income tax rec
Ords for many years past, It Is
high time pubic attention were

Byrnes meanwhile revealed Ha-
good had tried on February to
have his testimony deleted from
the record on learning Of an Of
ficial order that Army officers
must say nothing inconsistent
with the Presidents budget mes
sage"
Byrnes said the House commit
tee, however, made his testimony
public, despite this protest. Com
mittee clerks said the protest
came after the record had been
turned over to be printed.
Administration spokesmen on
Capitol Hill tried in vain to silence
the Hagood storm. They said
privately that a compromise would
Be worked out-apparently with
the appointment Of Hagood to
some new Army post-aS soon as
''things quieted down"

OF Trolley Conductor

Business was brisk on the New
York Avenue street car of which
Arnold Costeel was the conductor
last night. It was so brisk, in
fact, that at North Capitol Street
he was pushed around by passen-
gers leaving the car.
A few minutes later, Costeel,
who lives at 313 8 st. N. E.. dis
covered that someone had stolen

ly meeting. An emergency measure
was passed appropriating 1000 for
county relief. This in addition to an
already inflated sum which was in
cluded in the regular budget which
went into effect the first of the
year. The relief item is the larg-
est single item in the county bud
get ordinarily, and now, with less
than half the year passed by, an ad-
ditional fifteen thousand dollars
is necessary. What will the total
be before the end of the year has
been reached? We do not mean to
be critical of the commissioners. It's
not that. The law compels them to
make such appropriations as are
required to handle the situation.
The feature which astounds the
citizens who ponder it at all is the
fact that such a large proportion OF
the local taxes should be necessary
for this purpose. Something is
terribly askew with conditions.

Six years is enough for any one
man to devote to the welfare OF
his community, if in the meantime
he is also compelled to earn a living,
in the opinion of Mayor Alfred
Anon. He says that under no cir
cumstances will he again become q
candidate for that office. He feels
that he has more than done his
share in the civic work. Now here
then, is a chance for some other al
truistic citizen to offer himself on
the altar of civic service. But don't
crowd there is still plenty of time
to file.

He would be churlish, indeed, to
deny large measure of credit to
Superintendent E S. Black for Sc
curing for the local district the adj
ditional $500 for equipment for the
new building. Possibly no other per-
son in the community could have
been successful in wrangling this
sum, as well as the previous five
thousand as a gift from the state.
The end is not yet. Under the PWA
setup, there is still a possibility of
securing an additional sum from
the federal funds under the same
conditions the original grant was
made. The man Black is a go-get-
ter, and we give him all credit.

held to a reasonable level, the peo-
pie can buy more-and so make our
factories and merchandise outlets
hum.
The country doesn't want laws
and taxes designed to boost the
cost of commodities, thereby Great
ing an artificial initiation of the cost
of living. It wants to buy more COM
modities, and use more-and thus
create a demand for both luxuries
and necessities that will result in
real recovery and steady employ
ment.

a decision therefore is mostly a
matter of guess work at best. Many
people are taking the attitude that
the safest way out is to refuse to
sign the petitions, thereby max
ing them ineligible to appear upon
the ballot. The initiatives, in al
most very case, in the hundred or
more which have been filed in this
state since the initiative act was
made into a law, have been filed
for special privilege to an organized
group, seeking selfish gains.
