Gov. ArnaII

Georgia's young Governor Ellis
Arnall heralded as one Of the ma
TONS liberal executives, lifted the
eyebrows of Georgia Negroes Sat-
urday VIII e n he called upon the
f7r"oS Of reaction to continue their
undemocratic practice of keeping
the ballot out of the hands OF Ne
groes.
Expressing a desire anu nccrpe that

appealed, the governor said thu
State Democratic Executive Com
nittee has been working with the
Muscogee County Committee IN
contesting the suit of Rev. Primus
E. King, Columbus, Georgia Negro
minister and that it would continue
TO do so.
Defendants attorneys, following
Judge Davis decision at Macon
Friday, said that they would appeal
the decision and that papers would
be filed as soon as possible.
WANTS NELL LAW REPEALED
Georgia's new constitution leaves
out reference to the Primary, and
it was limited that if the Legisla-
ture will now repeal the Neill pri-
mary law, there will be no statute
left which would make the primary
a part of the election machinery.
However, it was indicated, if the
Neill primary law is abolished then
the county unit system will be
abolished.
Governor Arnail, Successor to Eu-
gene Talmadge, was the first gov
ernor to lower the voting age by
constitutional provision to Is; he
pioneered in the establishment OF
a teacher Retirement system in the
state; he engineered troop alb
sentee voting law, he had the poll
tax abolished in the state and he
restored confidence and standing to
the Georgia University System OF
schools. 1t is on these grounds that
fiction and magazine writers have
heralded the liberalism of the gov
ernor, who in spite of his uncertain
position on the Negro, represents a
wholesome advance over his rrede-
cesSor.

LONDON, Feb. Is = A Joint
British and American statement
relaxing Italian armistice terms
to some extent was reported in
the offing today as Paris dis
patches declared Presi d e n t
Roosevelt was expected to visit
Rome before returning to Wash
ington.
1t was predicted the state
ment would promise greater
economic aid to Italy and lift
some of the Allied control of ad-
ministrative affairs.
An Associated Press dispatch
last night from Rome declared 1t
was understood there the dec
laration would be announced
soon in Washington and Lon.
don This dispatch said agree
ment on the new status for Italy
was reported to have been
reached after the British stead
lastly refused an American sug-
gestion that the present armis-
tice be scrapped.
CONQUERED NATION
The new announcement was
believed in Rome to keep Italy
still definitely in the category
of a conquered country. Some
Italian officials are said to have
advocated full elimination of
the armistice agreement on the
ground it constitutes a psyche
logical impeachment to full Ital-

cemia.
"In this condition painful
arthritis is not a rare complica-
ton. The anxiety and dreadful
suspense that assailed the sick
poet at the last would, more
likely than alcoholism, dispose
to the particular disease"
Smith pointed out that Burns,
"being endowed with the intel
lect and genius to write such
enchanting poety as he did, all
eyes were on him, and he was
expected to behave faultlessly,
to be as a man apart, the para
gon of good behavior, while the
conduct of those around did not
much matter"

Say Robert Burns
Death of Drink
is Gossip Tale

LONDON - W.H - Robert
Burns died probably from heart
disease and certainly not from
drink and rheumatic fever,
as is popularity believed, accord
ing to DR.. Sydney Watson Smith
of Bournemouth, former presi-
dent of the British Medical
Assn.
Writing in the British Medical
Journal, Smith said that the tale
that Burns died of drink is
nothing more than gossip's
fable, which ought now to be
confuted and consigned to obliv-

The Rome dispatch said that
despite the expected new decla-
ration it was believed all secret
clauses of the surrender docu-
ment, signed in September,
1943, by Marshal Pietro Badog-
Ito, would remain known only
to a few.
Why these clauses never have
been made public remains a
mystery. The Italian govern
ment has said it was willing to
have them known. President
Roosevelt said last summer he
saw no objection. Military Sc
curity, however, still is said to
be involved.
BELIEVED ALL SET
Information from Rome indi-
Gated the Italian statement al
ready had been initiated by re-
sponsible officials of b o t h
Britain and the United States.
The Malta conference of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill, while both were
enroute to the Crimea Big
Three meeting, seemed one of
the most likely sites for the
signing to have taken place.
While Paris dispatches were
reporting it was expected Presi-
dent Roosevelt would call on
Pope Plus and perhaps visit
France during his current visit
abroad, official announcement
was made last night that Chur-
chill had reached Athens. He
was accompanied by Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden.
1t was disclosed also that
Gen. George c. Marshall, u. S.
Army chief of staff, had stopped
off in Italy on his way back
from the Big Three parley and
had been touring the front for
three days.

when he phoned her at the office - she'd
been choked with joy. At least she'd
thought so. She'd left the Office in the
middle of the afternoon, for the first time
during the seven years she had worked there.
Where the devil are you going? Seth
Matthews had demanded Seth was in charge
of the Lily Soap account. She'd seen lot of
Seth since jim went away You couldn't work
as closely with man as she did with Seth
and not grow either to like or to hate him.
And she definitely didn't hate him.
Jim Saunders is back" she'd said, "and
I'm going out to buy keg of ale and boar's
head for him."
Jim Saunders back?" She saw his shrewd,
amusing face put up quick battle to look
pleased. But he wasn't pleased. Seth had never
said word to her, of course. Seth was an
EXCL himself, and he wouldn't fool around
with buddy's girl. $50 you're going to buy
him a boar's head?" He grinned staunchly.
"Well, put an apple in its mouth for me.
Yes, she did like Seth Matthews; she liked
him very much. But Jim was back. "Sure, )"
she'd said.
That had been an hour ago in the office.
An hour ago she'd believed she was in love
with jim. Now now?

Jim lifted his glass to her. Here's how, as
they say in society"
Monk grinned. How"
you've done something to this place since
went away" She watched his eyes as they
drifted toward the chintz-framed windows.
The wing chairs new and the flowers, OF
course" She smiled. Il got them in your
honor"
He put down his glass on the lacquer tray.
Monk, darling. -"
With an effort she lifted her eyes. "Yes?'
He screwed around on the sofa to face her.
Monk. -"
IMPuLsIvELY she reached out her hand to
him. 'Its all right, jim. It's just that you've
been away so long," No, she mustn't let him
down. Whatever happened later she mustn't
spoil this moment for him. "You feel strange"
She smiled brightly. 1T will wear off"
1T isn't that. Three years do make
difference, but it's go" He stopped. I'm
awfully fond of you, Monk. But 80"
So that was it. He wasn't in love with her
any more He'd found some one else. But he
hated telling her. Hated it like poison, think
ing she was still in love with him. But she
wasn't in love with him.

-R)- Only a blackened heap
of twisted steel on White Salt
Flats marks the spot where six
men met flaming death yester-
day 46 miles east of here in a
Greyhound bus crash which in
jured an estimated q persons.
The early morning travellers
were jolted from sleep and
broke through the bus windows
seeking safety when tire blew
out and the bus skidded on icy
pavement, overturning and
bursting into flames.
Investigators arriving at the
remote spot hours after the acci-
dent were first to discover the
charred bodies of the victims
four servicemen. a member of
the Merchant Marine, and an
unidentified civilian.
Names of the military person.
mel were withheld. Nest of the

before the war totaled some

Actually they cover $4,000

PARIS BOTTLENECK
During the occupation 10000
new telephone subscribers were
clandestinely connected in Paris,
with the result that the metro
politan system is suffering from
a serious bottleneck. More than
$4,000 Parisians and $4,000 pro-
vincials have applied for SUBJ
scriptions.
Only 5000 of these requests
can be granted before the end
of the year, and then only in
one sector of the city. The re-
mainder will have to wait un-

the demand for new subscrip-
