COP. Plan To Back Anti-New Deal Democrats
 May Meet With
 Some Objection

Washington, Aug. 6. Republicans may enter democratic primaries next year to help renominate anti New Deal democrats, but they will do so only as individuals.
 The suggestion has been made by Mark Sullivan and others that G. o. P. voters enter the Opposi- tion's primaries in order to assure
 renomination of various demo- cratic senators who have opposed the Roosevelt program, especially the court plan.
 But 'the republicans as party will discourage such tactics, be- lieving that they could practically be guaranteed to break up party machinery. Candidates for gov- ernor, county commissioner, sheriff and other posts must also run in the primaries and each of these small fry will be holfering at top pitch for votes in his own party's primary. To have all these minor candidates find the votes they were counting on, cast in the democratic primary, woulyd create some rather bad reactions.

Tactics Seem Doubtful

Privately, republicans operating in the national machine say they're willing to nominate certain con- servative democrats as republicans if the new administration machine defeats them in democratic prima- ries or state conventions. You may be sure, one is told, that nearly all republican state nominating conven- tions will be held after the demo- cratic convention in the same state, just in case a coalition seems feasi- ble between dissatisfied anti-ad- ministration democratic and the republicans.
 It is just possible that some anti i-Roosevelt members will be fooled by such talk and, after be- ing defeated for democratic nom- nation, turn to the republicans for nomination only to find that there tare too many republicans themselves eager for their party's nomination.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. G. -(Upl:-- Georgia,s chain gang system, att tackled in the north as brutal and defended in the south as mild and just, was investigated by joint legislative committee today after murder warrants had been sworn against a gang warden and his as- sistant.

THANKSGIVING DAY
No Turkey to Carve So
McLEMORE THANKFUL

when his new wife asks COM
pany in for Thanksgiving. De-
spite his almost twenty years Of
training he will cover in a
craven manner when faced with
an 18-pound turkey, legs crossed
and neck still held high, despite
death and hours of roasting.
Somehow, nothing seems to
quiet the spiri. of turkey. His
is the spirit of Pilgrim father.
1 have driven carving knife
into the very bosom of turkey
and felt that it was saying to
me lin turkish, which j do not
speak fluently):
''If you're not making a mess
of me, my name is not Arthur
j. GObbler. AS soon as You stood
up knew that you were fellow
who was going against my grain.
to tell you the truth, 1 spotted
you right away as one of those
fellows who is sure of himself
only when he, is scOoping out
the dressing"
The turkey is not built right
for carving. He is too cOmplicat-
ed, and, should be dynamited by
men wearing lights on their caps.
My favOrite bird is the meat
loaf. He causes no trouble. He
doesn't sing. He is always in
season. And if he were elected
the national bird the thousands
of husbands in this country Of
ours would be saner, happier
creatures. As my No. 2 national
bird 1 nominate the frankfurter.
Gentle, easy to raise, and real
friend to your children.
But enough of this. 1 am
