GEORGIA KILLS
REPEAL MOVE
States Narrow 2 Year Old
Dry Victory Upheld By
5000 Votes

ATLANTA. Ga, June 10. (UP)
Georgia was thrown Solidly in the
list of states supporting prohlbi-
tion last night as virtually COM
plctc returns showed repeal
amendment defeated by approx
mately 5000 votes.
Rural counties, offsctting heavy
urban majOriticS for repeal,
swung the election in favor of re-
tcntion of dry statutes. Returns
from all of the l59 counties in
the state, most of them complete,
gave l03,l0S against repeal; o.
762 i'm favor.
The vote validated a similar dry
victory two years ago in which
prohibition won by only 243
votes. Although Z he proposal
which would have permitted legal
sale of liquor was defeated, sale

permitted in the state.

built up in rural precincts and
offset heavy metropolitan votes
for repeal.
The 26 other amendmcntS-in-
Guiding Gov. +. ID. Rivers "Ncw
Deal" program to bring Georgia
into cooperation with the federal
social security program-gradu-
ally were building up Ovcrwhelm-
ing maiorities. The amendments
probably will average two to one
maioritieS in final tabulatiOnS.
Ten of these amendments pro-
vide:
l. Authorizing state taxes for
old age pensions.
2. Authorizing counties to levy
taxes for partial support of old
age pensions.
8. $4,000 homestead exemp-
ton.
4. $500 personal property tax
exemption.

the employer-cmploye relation

board unlimited power"
