The House also gave final ap-

Bank Moves 10 Take
Georgia 5 Governor
SquabbIe 10 Courts
By ihe Associated Press

ATLANTA, Jan. 24.-Urfcertaln
over the release of executive
funds it has on deposit, an At
lanta bank moved today to in
stitute court action to adjudi-
cate Georgia's gubernatorial
squabble, which has tied up
State revenues.
The Fulton National Bank an
nounced it would refuse to honor
checks drawn by either claimant
to the Office, Herman Talmadge OF
1t. Gov. M. E. Thompson.
Former Gov. Ellis Arnall had con-
troll of the fund of about $4,000
when he resigned last Saturday
! He turned it over to Mr.. Thompson
when the latter was sworn in as
Lieutenant Governor and became a
claimant to executive authority as
acting Governor.
Mr.. Talmadge, elected by the Leg
islature, has made no public move
to gain control Of the fund but
said yesterday he would hold its
custody in time to meet his Febru-
airy payroll.
Could Be Heard in 20 Days.
The banks announcement did not
say what course its appeal to the
courts would take, but financial
circles said 1t probably would be a
petition for a declaratory judgment
filed in the Fulton Superior (Cir-
cuit) Court. Such suit could be
heard within 20 days and in all
probability would be followed by a
prompt appeal to the State Supreme
Court.
Meanwhile, State Treasure
George B Hamilton declared he had
stopped disbursal of funds to the
highway and revenue departments
and the acceptance of tax collections
from the revenue commission be-
cause OF the legal tangles over con-
f1icting appointments by Mr.. Tai
madge and Mr.. Thompson to fill the
same Offices.
There was no immediate effect on
the two departments but fiscal OFF,
cials said any lengthy tieup woulo
cripple them and spread quickly to
other State agencies.
Legislature Recesses.
The Legislature recessed for the
week end after hearing budget
message from Mr.. Talmadge pro-
posing a record annual outlay OF
s109, ,224 $50 of which about $32 900, :
900 must be raised through new
taxes. Of the increase, $4,000, ,000

would go toward maintaining
teacher salary increase.
The harassed Legislature will
tackle next week its toughest piece
of legislation-the so-called white
primary" bill, to restore white
supremacy in Georgia.
The intent of the bill is summed
up in four words: Keep Negroes
from voting"
In effect, it will strike the word
primary" from every section of
Georgia's election laws and repeal
every type of regulation for pri-
maries with exception Of fraud
statutes.
In place of statutory regulation,
the Democratic Party will substitute
rules of procedure from which there
is appeal only to the Party Execu-
tive Committee or-When it is in
session-the party convention.
The party rules provide: Only
white persons who are Democrats
and who are qualified to vote in the
general election in the year in which
the primary is to be held, and who
in good faith will pledge themselves
to support the Democratic candi-
dates for all Offices to be voted on
during the year in which the pri-
mary is held, are hereby declared
qualified to vote in said primaries :"

PUBLISHERS GREEDY PROPOSAL

RY VETOING BILL which would have deprived news
paper vendors" of Social Security benefits President
Truman again called attention to the greed of wealthy pub
fishers.
The big daily papers are "god mnes-on the basis of
money invested they produce profit than any other
dustryyet the publishers to lie awake nights thinking
schemes to take pennies from the boys and who make
all this wealth possible by delivering the papers peddng
them the streets.
The publishers have to that their newsboys are
not protected by child labor laws the pous theory that
such legislation nfrnges the independence of the little
merchants"
AS under the age of 18 comes under the Social
Security Act the publishers have paid Social Security
taxes the earnings of most newsboys do the latter
gain any credits toward pensions in their old age.
Even the greed of the publishers should have been salts
fed by their favored position under the child labor and Social
Security laws but they were still unhappy.
They had to pay Social Security the earnings of
the older boys and who operated newsstands the
Streets and depended these stands for their livelihood
The publishers went to court to get these newspaper
vendors exempted from the Social Security law The
said, NO. SO the publishers turned to Congress.
Congressman Bertrand w Gearhart (Rep Calif) intro
duced bill giving the publishers what they wanted The
passed the Senate and House the crowded closing
days of the past session.
If the President had signed it into law, the who de-
vote their lives to selling newspapers would qualify
for Social Security PENSIONS but the wealthy publishers
would pocket some extra profits.
In vetoing the BILL President Truman said:
"It cOverage under the Social Security laws
while object should be to enlarge that coverage.
"t would establish precedent for special exemption
We must not Social Security structure to pecemea
attack and to slow undermining"
Incidentally, how much of this story have you read in
your daily newspaper? Those have scarcely printed
line about the bill while it going through Congress-
Even when Truman vetoed it, they did not tell their readers
what the bill designed to do.
That is freedom of the press"
