 Strong Contender

Many letters praising his qualifications have been sent to Mayor Scully, ans several c. o. P. leaders have spoken on his behalf. He is we'll known as an officer of barbers' or- ganizations.
 Other leading candidates are An- thony Petrillo, former selectman and former candidate for tax cole lector; Works Commissioner Fen- ton Niver; and Alderman William V. Gerardi, though the last named has made no effort to win the appointment, and Harold v. Boyce, Irish-American club leader.

 Have Abused Him

Atlanta, Ga, July 23-(UP)-The Constitution and The Journal, At lanta's two daily newspapers, were threatened with a black-out ot state government news today unless they correct their attitude" toward Governor Eugene Talmadge.
 The threat was made by Cover nor Talmadge at press conference yesterday afternoon. Neither news paper commented at once.
 If The Constitution and The Journal don't correct their attitude , I'm not going to give them any news because they are wrong and they are doing the state of Georgia an injustice" the governor said. They have gone beyond the pale of decency."
 Talmadge was complaining against the local reporting of his busting of two state educational officials on the allegation that they sought to establish racial equality in the state schools. He praised the accounts of New York newspapers, buts said the local newspapers had published front page editorials" in lieu of objective reporting.
 'The Atlanta papers misrepresent- ed the facts because they thought they would hurt Talmadge doing so," he said. They're trying to put up Q smoke screen to hide the fact that I put my foot down on this inter-Facial business in Georgia. But I'm going to check them up. They'd better get right. I'll keep answering them until ! get the facts before the people Of Georgia. The Atlanta dallies are not going to put Negroes with white children in schools.

 CASE CONTINUED
Possibility of Settlement Being Made for Damages
 Tinted in Court

Wilson E. Dean, 28, of 498 West Main street, charged in municipal court today with reckless driving and evading responsibility after an accident on West Main street last Friday, was given a continuance to July 26, pending the outcome of settlement to the damages of the complaining witness car.
 Prosecutor Atty. Frederick W. Palomba made the recommendation to Judge John L. Gaffney that the case be disposed of because of the accused's promise of reimbursing the owner of the damaged car. The recommendation was objected to by Atty. Frank T. Healey, representing the complaining witness, who re- quested that the continuance should be made during the intervening make payments during that time.
 Atty. Healey pointed out that in his IS years as practicing attorney, he has seen many cases which have been promised for settlement later and court verdict was ruled on intentions of the accused. He requested that a continuance be entered in Deans case so that an adjustment for the damages could be made during the intervening time of the continuance.
 Pros. Atty. Palomba informed the court he was making the recom- mendation only on the information which came to him from the coun- Sel of the accused, and concurred that continuance would be time for the accused to carry out his in tentionS.
 Dean was arrested after he side- swiped a parked automobile on July IS in front of 1138 West Main street. Motor Patrolmen Ray Grady and Frank Leary charged that the accused fled after striking the car.
