Courts Expected to Decide
ToImodqe's Successor

ATLANTA, Dec. % (Pl.-The un-
precedented death of Gov.-elect Tai
madge has thrown Georgia into an
other political feud which is ex-
pected to go into the courts for
final decision.
The showdown will come Janu-
ary l3 when the new legislature
convenes.
Never before has a Georgian died
between the time of his election
as Governor and the date he was
slated to take Office. The new con-
stitution provides that the Lieuten-
ant Governor should succeed in the
event OF the Governors death. But
it is vague on what happens should
death occur before Inauguration.
Some argued that the Legislature
can choose between the two receiv-
ing the highest write-ip vote-which
they agree would be Herman Tai
madge,. SON of Eugene Talmadge,
and his campaign manager, and
James v. Carmichael whom Mr..
Talmadge defeated IN the Demo-
cratic primary. The baflotSs are
sealed and the count won't be known
until the Legislature meets.
Mr. Carmichael has announced
he. would not serve even If the
Legislature designated him. That
might leave the field to Herman
Talmadge. around whom his father S
friends will center their efforts.
Authoritative sources claim Gov.
Ellis Arnall, bitter foe Of Mr.. Tai
madge, who is barred from sec
ond successive term by the constitu-
ton, will hold office until the courts
decide the issue. Until then, the
State is expecting considerable po-
litical jockeying.
