Talmadge Third-Term Bid
Holds Georgia S Interest
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Sept. 11.-Interest in
Georgia's Democratic primary today
centered on the third-term bid of
Eugene Talmadge, erstwhile fiery
critic of the New Deal, for Gov
ernor.
A forecast of cool weather, partly
cloudy but free of rain, was ex-
pected to bring out record num-
ber of the more than SAC, 1000 voters
eligible to ballot for Governor, eight
Statehouse officers, district and
county tickets and for Represent
atives in Congress and the State
Legislature.
Poll hours are 7 am. to 6 pm. in
most cities and to 3 in rural areas.
Opposing Mr.. Talmadge were Agri-
culture Commissioner Columbus
Roberts and Abit Nix, Athens attor-
ney. Nomination on the Democratic
ticket is tantamount to election.
Seven of Georgia's 10 Democratic
Representatives are unopposed for
denomination. IncumbentS B. Frank
Whelchel and Hugh Peterson have
opposition. Five aspirants seek the
seat left vacant by the recent death
of Representative w. Ben Gibbs.
Under Georgia primary laws, a
clear majority of the States 4O6
county unit vote is necessary for
gubernatorial nomination, irrespec-
tive of the popular vote. If none
receives a majority of unit votes, the
two high men engage in a runover

Nazis Seek Business
In Latin America on
Fall Delivery Basis
German Trade With
Hemisphere Going On
Despite Blockade
BY OLIVER MCKEE.

Promising better terms, lower
prices and merchandise of equal
quality, agents of Nazi business
firms are conducting a vigorous
campaign to persuade South Ameri-
cans to place orders for manu-
factured goods in Germany, instead
of the United States, according to
reports reaching Federal officials
here. Though earlier, the repre-
sentatives of Nazi export companies
had promised deliveries in Septem-
Der, the stubborn unbroken re-
siStance Of Britain has made it nee
essary to set a later date for de-
livery. Now South Americans are
being promised goods from Ger
many in October and November.
Though the sales of United States
products in South and Central
America continue to show an in
crease over the pre-war levels, the
Nazi drive, it is believed, may cause
some Latin American firms to delay
placing orders for goods in this
country. Behind the efforts to di-
vert orders from American to Ger
man manufacturers, as Government
trade experts see it, lies a broader
propaganda objective: to undermine
the economic position of the United
States in Latin America and blaze
the trail for postwar Nazi trade
offensive.

Doctor Reports
| New Method
|Of Resuscitution

By the Associated Press.
A new method of reviying per-
sons partially drowned or overcome
by gas was reported today in the
Journal of Modern Science.
Instead of laying the victim face
downward, DR.. Palm Praest Of
Copenhagen advises placing the vic
tim on his right side and alternately
pressing of the ribs and pulling the
arm backward.
This treatment first forces air out
of the lungs and then pulls it back
in more effectively than the old
prone pressure" method of resusci-
tation, DR.. Praest said.
He claims the added advantages
of requiring less effort by the op-
orator, giving full drainage from
the lungs and head and allowing
easy application of an oxygen mask
when it becomes available. 1t is
also possible with the new method
to massage the heart while admin
istering artificial respiration, a nee
essary procedure when the circula-
ton has slowed or stopped, DR..
