After Solicitors Plea
Against CIemency
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Nov. 25-At a clem-
ency hearing today for six convicted
floggers. Assistant Solicitor Dan
Duke OF Fulton County told Gov.
Eugene Talmadge he should not
add another precedent to Nazi tech
nique by letting these men out"
Mr.. Duke charged the men were
members of the East Point Ku Klux
Klan and were responsible for a
series of midnight floggings. In the
midst of his talk, he hurled two
leather straps on the Governor S
desk, calling them lashes you could
kill a bull elephant with"
The lashes, Mr.. Duke said, were
the ones, or similar to ones, used
by the f1oggers,
Attorneys for the clemency appli-
cants charged that the men had
unfair trials. that the Atlanta news
papers had poisoned and inflamed"
the minds of the public and that
the States star witnesses were
themselves confessed f1oggers who
have never been indicted.
Isaac WingroW. who identified
himself as Jewish lawyer, defended
the Khan and accused the Atlanta
papers of looking for national all
American honors, a Pulitzer prize" "
He said. LAS Jew l think thou
sands upin thousands of good Geor-
gians belong to the ku KluX Klan. "
Mr.. Wingrow's statement stirred
some applause. but DR.. E. G.
Mackay, Atlanta Methodist minister
said he could not understand how
any Jew could defend the Klan
charging it used the same methods
by which Jews were prosecuted in
Europe
Mr.. Duke charged. however, that
the attorneys knew that Gov. Tai
madge had had little trouble with
the press. They think the Governor
hates the press and they said to
themselves, Well unload on the
press That's what this is for"
God forbid the day shouted Mr.
Duke. when a crowd like that can
take away the powers of the press.
Mr. Duke. in concluding his plea
said If these men are set free, the
job will have TO be done over again
His remarks were vigorously ap-
plauded.
The Governor reserved decision on

GASTONIA. N. c., Nov, 25.-The
Gastonia Gazette said that every
National Youth Administration
project in CASTOR County was dis
continued today solely because the
N. Y. A. did not like the editorial
policy of the Gazette"
The action affected seven prof.
ects and 124 employees.
The paper said that E. G. Bourne
area director Of the N. Y. A.. and
L. z. Hicks, area director of w. P
A. both with headquarters in Char
lotte, came here last night and put
the order in effect. These men were
quoted as saying they were acting
on orders from State Director John
A. Lang at Raleigh.
Mr. Lang promptly denied that
the Gazettes editorial policy had
anything to do with curtailing or
closing projects.
Paper Quotes Governor.
The paper quoted Supt. Hunter
Hush of the Gastonia County
schools and Emory B. Denny, State
Democratic chairman. as authority
for the statement that the editorial
policy of the Gazette had been
given by Mr.. Bourne as the reason
for closing the projects. The paper
said Gov. J. NJ Braughton at Raj
eigh had confirmed the statement.
There's nothing to that" Mr..
Lang said. when informed of the
Gazette's charges.
Mr.. Lang said he had received
notification from Washington of an
impending cut in the appropriation
of the N Y. A.. and that an order
was being released here today
curtailing non-essential projects
throughout the State
Cites Appropriation Cuts.
Any closing down or curtsiling of
projects in CASTOR County, he AIDED,
was caused by the appropriations
cut.
Before any project may be con-
tinued in the State, it will be care
fully considered in this office, as to
its need and usefulness and in the
light of the national emergency, at
the conclusion of the pay period"
said Mr.. Lang "All N. Y. A. pro-
iects throughout the State will have
to 60 through this procedure.
Since all projects in CASTOR
County were to begin a new pay
period as of today, it was deemed
advisable by this office to investi-
gate the need and usefulness of each
one before its continuation. In the
meanwhile, lunchroom projects in
schools of CASTOR County have been
continued, anyway"
