In 1885, he sat on the sidelines as

policy statements. With the elder
Talmadge i'll, it became recognized
inevitability that Herman would be
the real Governor after the Talmadge
Inauguration. He had spent enough
time in the Governors Office to un-
derstand the mechanics of the job.
Arnall Comes Up Fast.
Ellis Arnall, during those IA years,
had come up fast. An A. B. degree
holder from Mercer University, with
an LII. B. degree from the University
of the South at Sewanee, Tenn. he
had come to the University of
Georgia for additional law training
and a University of Georgia back
ground, almost indispensable in
Georgia politics. Like Herman Tai
madge after him, he had been a
master in campus electioneering,
had been president of the Panhel-
lenic Council.
For his reward in helping Tai
madge in his reelection campaign
in 1894, he was made in successive
steps provisional Speaker pro tenn
of the House, then Speaker pro
tenn, before being appointed an as
sistant attorney general.
In 1886, with Ed Rivers, he de-
serted the Talmadge group and
helped Rivers win the governorship.
The grateful Rivers appointed Ar
nall attorney general, post from
which he prepared himself for his
successful race against Talmadge in
1912 by sitting steady in the anti
Rivers tide which swept the elder
Talmadge back into the governor
shio in 1910.
Plays His Cards Well.
Thompson, meanwhile, was play
ing his political cards we'll. AS State
supervisor of schools he travelled
over Georgia and built up large
following among the politically
powerful school teachers groups in
every county. Now 43, he has a
broad educational background, hav-
ing done graduate work at the Uni
versity of Alabama, Emory, and
Peabody at Nashville, in addition to
earning his degrees from Emory
and Georgia.
In 1887, under the Rivers admin
istration, Thompson was made as
sistant State school superintendent.

Vargas Battle on Reds
Expected 10 SET Vote
Mark in Brazil Today
By the Associoted Press

RIO de JANEIRO, Jan. 18.-The
heaviest vote in Brazil's history was
expected for tomorrow in state elec-
tions highlighted by test of
strength of Communists and the
renascent forces of former President
Getulio Vargas.
More than 100000 voters were
expected to go to the polls to elect
a governor, a senator and state
legislators in each of Brazils 20
states. Each state already has two
senators, elected last December.
The Communist party campaigned
strongly throughout the nation,
despite denunciations from the
Roman Catholic Church and from
President Eurico Gaspar Dutra. One
newspaper today carried the head
line: THE issue in this election is
Getulio Vargas or Stain"
Away Race in Sac Paulo.
Interest centered on the four
cornered race in Sac Paulo, Brazils
richest state, where the Communists
and Vargas laborites were strug-
Cling for priority. The administra-
tion's Social Democrats and the
loyal oppositionists" of the Ma
tional Democratic Union, the two
old parties, sought to maintain their
lines.
Vargas, deposed as President in
the coup of October, 1945, faded
temporarily from the political scene,
but reappeared recently as leader
of the Labor Party, which attracted
thousands of his personal followers.
Now his party is making a strong
bid for political stature in Sac
Paulo. The Vargas candidate for
governor there is Hugo Borghi,
wealthy cotton merchant and old
political colleague of the former
strongman President.
President Dutras Social Demo-
Gratis nominated Mario Tavares, and
the National Democratic Union, AL
media Prado. The Communists, with
no party candidate for governor in
Sac Paulo, support Ademar Barros,
former governor running on the
ticket of the small Social Progress
sive Party. The Communists claim
minimum of 250,000 of the states
100000 voting strength.
Cardinal Denounces Alliance.
The alliance between the Com
munists and the Progressives has
been denounced by Carlos Cardinal
Basconcellos Mota. archbishop of
Sac Paulo.
Throughout Brazil the voters will
choose, in all, 5000 state officials
from a field of 10000 candidates.
These will be the first elections un-
der the nations new constitution.
Some violence has been reported
in the campaign windup. Two per-
sons were killed and several injured
in incidents.

presented and staged that, in his
opinion. many legislators dio not
understand its portent.
Veterans Side with Talmadge.
The issue also was confused by
the introduction in the tangled
Legislative situation of resolution
by two veteran members, j. j. Flynt,
jr., of Spalding and Pierre Howard
of DeKalb, both of which counties
opposed Talmadge, which would
have called special election. Their
resolution voted down. these two
veterans sided with Herman Tai
madge, a Navy veteran.
In the -climactic balloting for
Governor. an unprecedented number
of legislators refused to take part
and 81 voted present" knowing
they were beaten, while the "band
wagon vote went to Talmadge.
Harris then ordered the maneuver
that gave his group physical control
Of the Statehouse and Governors
mansion. Marvin Griffin was ap-
pointed as his adjutant general by
Talmaoge. Griffin put into effect Or
ders for the seizure of the govern
ment in the name of the new Gov
ernor. While Arnall staged a pro-
testing retreat and the issue headed
for the courts, Roy Harris stood be-
hind Talmadge and prompted him
in his brief public debates with Ar
nall, then in his acts as Governor.
Protests to Legislature.
In Atlanta Saturday, the crowds
on the streets in the State Capital
talked of little else and the Legisla-
ture, IN session, continued to receive
protests from the highhanded tao
tics with which the election" and
the subsequent coup was staged.
One legislator reported:
Many of Talmadge's old regulars
are protesting to their legislators.
whose mail is heavy. The people of
Georgia just don't like it. And, if
there is any good to come out of it.,
it is that more people are going to
be actively interested in public af-
fairs in Georgia than ever before. 4"
But he added:
Il don't think all of the protests
are going to have any effect. They
came too late"
View of Woman's League
Miss Josephine wilkins, president
of the Georgia League of Woman
Voters, said that while Gov. Arnall
had become unpopular, had made
many enemies, and that this situa-
tion had contributed to the most re-
cent f1asco, that the real reason for
the upheaval, and it's bizarre mani
festetions, was ArnalFs trogram
which upset the old Georgia politi-
cal 1ine-up.
$50 many people lost their little
powers, and they are out to get
them back" she said 49,
Ed Bridges, veteran newsman on
Atlanta's Capitol Hill, expressed the
opinion that much of the present
situation can be attributed to the
reaction which follows the war.
THAT, added to a real reaction to
the sort of liberal policy that had
come to the State, made the situa-
ton ripe for upheaval. While the
Nation seems turning again toward
conservatism, Georgia has retreated
into the old conservatism of the
South"

Young Says Funds
Are Needed Badly
I'm Fight on Polio

The March of Dimes drive this
year is considered, by members Of
the local committee as the most
important one in the 10 years OF
the history Of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis.
Because of the polio epidemic
last year. the $4,000, 900 reserve set
aside by the National Foundation
for epidemics was wiped out and 1t
was necessary to borrow $1,000, 600
from sums set aside for research,
according to Commissioner John
Russell Young, general chairman OF
the local committee drive.
To spur collections here, coin cards
have been mailed to more thar
10000 washington residents. hc
said. The cards have perforationr
in which 20 dimes can be inserted
and little pocket is provided for
checks, money orders or currency,
The folding coin card is self-ad-
dressed and after 1t Is filled out
needs only a Scent stamp to be
ready for mailing to the local
committee.
Where to Contribute.
Residents who do not receive
these coin cards are asked by Mr..
Young to make their contributions
directly to the March Of Dimes
headquarters in Room 507 Of the
District Building. Checks and money
orders should be made out to the
March of Dimes"
Contributions also can be made
at the numerous infantile paralysis
wishing wells" located in front Of
the District theaters or at the
Mile O. Dimes booths in front OF
the Capitol Theater on F street
and the Lincoln Theater on U street.
According to the latest reports
from the National Foundation there
were 25,083 polio cases in the United
States as of last December 81, MIR.
Young said.
"The story of 1916 is a grave one"
he added, "but it would have been
even more tragic if the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
WCAC 1lOG OUdGCS W1lClC
the epidemic was most rampant we're
not prepared, and the funds of their
local chapters were wiped out in a
short time. Into these stricken
areas the National Foundation
poured funds from its epidemic aid
reserve"
Foundation Funds Low.
"As result" Commissioner Young
continued, "the epidemic left the
National Foundation low In funds.
In fact, the great number of polio
cases rapidly wiped out the $4 1000 900
reserve set aside for epidenlics and
1t was necessary to borrow 81 ,000, 900
from sums set aside for important
research, wherein lies the ultimate
hope Of final victory In conquering
the disease"
Basil O'Connor, president of the
Foundation. has declared that $24,-
100000 is the minimum required to
continue the fight against the
disease.
All funds raised In the District
during the drive, which will end
January 80. will be divided, with half
going to the District Chapter for
Infantile Paralysis and half to the
National Foundation.

Gov Rivers had a trusted con-
federate in every State department,
and Thompson was his man in the
school department, became known
as the "Jim Farley" Of this State
agency. When Arnall became Cover
nor, Thompson was appointed his
executive secretary, and made him
self so useful he was given the priW-
lege of naming any State appointive
job he wanted. Georgia politicians
say he was so torn with indecision
that his option became we'll known,
but he finally chose to become State
revenue commissioner.
Ed Rivers claimed an agreement
with Arnall for the 1atter's support
in the 1946 Governors race, but
Thompson and Secretary Of State
Ben Fortson also aspired to the
mantle. When Arnall lost his legis-
lative fight to amend the laws per-
mitting a Governor to succeed him
self, several expected Arnalps in
dorsement.
But he selected neither Thompson,
Forston. or Rivers, but turned to the
young legislator, Carmichael, as q
candidate with more color and ap-
peal.
Thompson became so angry, that
he turned against Arnall and while
waging his successful race for
Lieutenant Governor, turned to Tai
madge many votes Arnall might
have swung for Carmichael, Arnall
in turn unsuccessfully espousing the
campaign for Lieutenant Governor
of Frank Gross. president of the
Senate under the Arnall admins
tration.
Harris Behind the Scenes.
Often in the limelight, but more
often behind the scenes, was Roy
Harris A native of Glascock in east
Georgia, he was an ABB graduate of
the University of Georgia in the
class of 1917, had his law degree in
1919. He was Jefferson County's
first representative in the state legis-
lature, in which he served con-
tinuously from 1921 to 1916. In
1881, he served as floor leader under
Governor Russell and helped major
state reorganization bills through
the House, record that sent Russell
to the United States Senate. He
previously had been active in leader
ship under Governor Tom Hard

Embassy in Paris tonight reiterated
Chinese claims to the Paracels
Archipelago, a string of islands in

Japan had laid claim before the war
Numerous notes were exchanged

consistently renewed Its claims to
control of the islands which they
said were Chinese from ancient

The statement recalled that the

roundly trounced Harris for the first
time and took away from him even
his lone seat in the Legislature.
Many Georgians thought it was
the end for Harris. But it hasn't
been. He had lost his political job,
but he still had his talent for poll
tics, and his rs years experience in
the Georgia arena, and his knowl-
edge of where the votes lie which
elect a Governor.
He joined Gene Talmadge again,
and began travelling the state
While Talmadge and Carmichael
were speaking before tremendous
crowds in their campaign, Harris
took his map on which he noted the
counties Gene must carry.
Marked Up Little Counties.
With nearly every newspaper in
the state fighting Ta1madge, Harris
marked up the little counties,
wasted no energy on the large ones.
When the returns came in, they
were no surprise to him. They just
about conceded with the little map
he had in his pocket. \. -
Too late in the campaign was it
discovered that Carmichael was
wasting some of his ammunition.
He got the popular vote, but moral
victory in politics doesn't mean
much.
Still ambitious, but smart as ever,
Roy Harris is credited by. some with
issuing the order for the Insurance"
write-in votes for Herman Tai
madge, furnishing the pretext for
the Legislature which rode into
Office on Talmadge's coattais, to
elect.
Gene Talmadge's death was the
signal for a new campaign, and
Harris was again directing it. with
the Talmadge son out in front. AS
the Legislature met. he felt sure
they had the votes but knew it would
be a close fight
Meanwhile, at the statehouse, the
canny Mr.. Harris again wisely ra-
toned his ammunition. Adjutant
General was Marvin Griffin, a
former Bainbridge newspaper pub
Usher who had served with credit IN
the Army during the war and who
had been in various Offices during
the Talmadge- Rivers -Arnall days. A
Citadel graduate, he had more mill
tary background than the average
adjutant general and had been fed
orally recognized. He had his organ
ization trained to obey his orders.
Many TaImadge Holdovers.
There were many Talmadge hold
overs in the State House and among
Legislative leaders. One of the latter
was Robert Elliott, a Phi Beta
Kappa graduate Of Emory Uni
versity.
When the Legislature convened to
decide the issue between Thomp-
son, Lieutenant Governor elect, and
Herman Ta1madge, Elliott quickly
offered a resolution calling for the
settling of the Governors issue. The
vote was 128-126. Cicero Kendrick,
labor member of the House from
Fulton County (Atlanta) where Tai
madge got less than one-third OF
the huge vote, unexpectedly voted
"aye," averting a tie which might
have resulted in Thompson's victory.
Thompson, although backed by
Arnau, had decided against desig-
mating Arnall his manager, fearing
the Arnall kiss of death" which
many said contributed to Car
michael's defeat in the guberna-
torial primary. He pitted Ed Rivers,
the former Governor. against Har-
ris, and the gamble lost.
