Williamson Has 85.4 On BIO Games Rated
Copyright, 1946, by United Fea-
 ture Syndicate, Incl Rv PAIJL R. WILLIAMSON

Last weeks serving of football across the nation produced full share of thrills for continuing huge crowds, but 1t came up with the fewest crazy upsets among major teams of any week in the 14-year history of the Williamson System.
 Friday caught Richmond topping Maryland for 8 surprise. But the big blows fell Saturday when Indi- ana bowled over Minnesota and a coming Boston College club bumped Michigan State.
 Upsets were scattered through the brackets of minor elevens, but the System still was able to notch an average of 85.4 percent on BIO games reported, including late re- turns from the previous week.
 The System looked good on North CaroAna's 21-0 win over Miami U. And 1t was in good shape on Vil- lanova's 26-13 decision over Mar quette.
 Other System selections that stood out included: Auburn over Furman by 26-6; Coast Guards l4-13 job on Amherst; TenneSsee's work at Dukes expense, 12-7; Gus tavus Adolphus's 25-6 win over St. Thomas; San Marcos Teachers win over Texas A. & l., 28-9; Hardin Simmons easy win over well-rated San Jose, 34-7: LSU.'s determined show for 13-6 edge over highly touted Mississippi State; Ohio State 21, s. California 0, and others.

Poll Gives Thompson
Heavy Support fof
Governor Of Georgia
By IL. A,seeia,sd Press

ATLANTA, Dec. 27.-First returns
from poll of the Georgia Legisla-
ture show heavy support for M. E
Thompson, Lieutenant Governor
elect, to become Governor in place
| of the late Eugene Talmadge.
Thirty-five legislators told the
Associated Press they favored Mr.
Thompson, while II said they would
vote to elevate Mr.. Talmadge's son
Herman. Fifteen others were nom
committal, and one favored a spe-
cial election.
/ Herman Talmadge, meanwhile
claimed more than 100 pledges in
the Legislature, and said reaction to
his candidacy was "the best pos
sibly could hope for" He added:
I"1t's virtually unanimous.
His campaign headquarters, how
ever, pressed for still more pledges,
and five of his lieutenants issued a
statement saying he was the one
man who could carry on his fathers
fight for white supremacy and the
county-unit system.
Mr.. Thompson at the same time
declared: Directly after taking
the oath of Office as Lieutenant
Governor, plan to then take the
oath Of Governor. hope that no
one will interfere with the expressed
will of the people"
Talmadge forces claim the death
Of Eugene Talmadge voided his ma
jority in the November 5 general
election, and that the Legislature
thus may elect a new Governor
from the two highest write-in can
didates.
There are 205 members of the
House and 54 Senators. There is
one vacancy in each branch caused
by death, making total member
ship today 257. A majority would
require 129 votes, and Talmadge
forces claim they will have a safe
margin when the Legislature con-
renes January 13.
Gov. Ellis Arnall issued state
ment Tuesday, saying he would
surrender his Office only to Mr.
Thompson, who, he said, was the
only person now qualified to sue

whether the proposed homes would
be of the same quality as other
homes. in the same builders de-
velopments.
Mr.. Carr told them the houses
would be started as soon as ground
could be found and would be fin-
ished as soon as weather and ma
terials shortages permitted He told
them they could have three-bed-
room homes If they wanted to pay
the additional cost and he wound
up by assuring them:
"This is sincere effort to prove
to you veterans that we aren't quite
as bad as some of our Government
critics paint us"
For that he drew the only ap-
plause Of the evening.
After the meeting the veterans
and their wives fingered to ask Mr..
Carr questions. One of the wives,
Mrs. Moe Kaplan of Carol Hills, Md,
wanted to know If the association
could find her a house within go
days, because her family was being
evicted.
s. F. Cole. Navy veteran, thought
the association plan was fine. He
previously had counted on the Will
liams projects to bring him back to
Washington. MIR. Cole explained that
when he got out of the service, he
had been unable to find a home for
his family in Washington and had
to move to Richmond. He said he
had been trying to get back ever
since and had deposited $1,000 with
Williams.
Other veterans observed that the
plan presented by Mr.. Carr was a
fine gesture" that it sounded good
and that it seems somebody is try
ing to help us instead of cutting our
throats."
Earlier. Mr. Leonard told the group
gathered in the center that he had
talked during the day with Williams
and had tried to persuade the real
estate man to attend the meeting.

COP. Dispute Feared
As Party Members in
Senate Meet Monday
By J. A. O'Leoy

Senate Republicans appeared
today to be heading for a family
row in their party conference
Monday over the desire of sew
eral senior members to take more
than one top-ranking post.
The latest rumbling of discomfort
came from Senator Reed of Kansas,
aspirant for the craftsmanship of the
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee, who said the plans of
the leaders would set up something
like an "oligarchy."
After the Kansan had aired his
views, however, Senator White of
Maine said he still plans to take
both the Craftsmanship of the Inter
state Commerce group and the job
of majority floor leader, "if the con-
ference will give them to me-"
Final Committee Meeting.
The Republican Committee on
Committees, which is working out
a tentative slate of assignments to
lay before the party conference
Monday, scheduled a final meeting
for this afternoon.
Other high-ranking members in
volved in similar situations are:
Senator Taft of Ohio, who Is
slated to continue as chairman of
the Republican Steering Commit
tee, and become chairman of the
Labor Committee.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan,
who has indicated he would like to
be President Pro Tempore of the
Senate, as well as chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee.
Senator Millikin of Colorado, who
has been mentioned as a possibility
for chairman of the Finance Com
mittee as well as presiding officer of
the Republican Conference.
Dissatisfaction Cited.
Senator Reed told neWsmen last
night there is "a lot of dissatisfac-
ton" among Republican Senators
over the tentative plans to give
eight important places to four men.
He said he would ask all 81 Re-
publican members of the next
Senate to pass on the issues in
volved.
Senator Reed said he had made
. tentative check among Republi-
cans who will sit in the next Senate
and had been promised a "lot OF
support" for his demand that no
Senator hold two important places.
"One Republican Senator asked
me if we were setting up an oil
garchy?" Senator Reed said, declin-
ing to identify the Senator. Il told
him there was some resemblance"
Only Is Standing Committees.
Previously Senators Robertson,
Republican, of Wyoming; LANCER,

allowed to complete the homes at
Gwynn Park near Clinton, Md
The association president faced q
coldly skeptical audience when he
started to unfold the association S
plan last night. In their question
ing, the veterans and their wives
made it clear that they had grown
shy of any building plan until they
knew all the details.
Show Interest.
When Mr.. Leonard asked. how
ever, how many of the veterans
present would be interested in the
associations plan to get new houses
at reduced costs all but two of the
veterans stood up One Of those
remaining seated explained he had
just bought home.
Mr.. Carr assured the veterans a
representative of the Veterans Ad-
ministration would be asked to sit
in on conferences with the associa-
tions Board of Directors to insure
that the savings by which the asSo-
citation hopes to reduce the cost OF
the homes are legitimate savines:
To veterans who had put all tnelI
available cash into the Williams
project, one question became impor-
tant-whether they would have to
put up $3.50 or more to settle the
contracts under the association pro-
posal. They were told that two
title companies had agreed to do
the title work at or near cost and
that settlement charges, such as in
surance, could be added to their GI
loan, so that no more cash would be
necessary.
They wanted to know how soon
the new projects could be started
and finished, whether three bed

who attended the meeting disclosed
that the marjority want to live in
Maryland and are willing to pay
up to $4,000 to get the homes.
The veterans, however, posed one
question which is not expected to
be settled at least until January g.
whether the contracts they signed
with Williams are binding or wheth-
er they can enter into new contracts
for homes with other builders and
still maintain their chances of get
ting back the deposits they put on
Williams homes.
