us but that this shall go to q de-
cision in the courts?" the Lieuten-
ant Governor asked.
Mr.. Talmadge answered in the
affirmative, and Mr.. Thompson
arose to leave.
Offers No Objection.
Mr.. Talmadge rose and said,
There will be no objection from
me" if Mr.. Thompson occupied the
Senate president offices.
AS Mr.. Thompson left the Gov
ernor's Office at 9:01 am. he told
members of the press thronging the
doorway that Il will place my case
entirely in the courts"
In response to questions, he said,
This matter of troops is lot of
hullabaloo. This issue will be set
tied by the courts"
He then proceeded to the Senate
Presidents Office. He was accom-
panied to the Capitol by State Sem
ator Frank Daniel, one of his stall
warts, and Bill Lanham, his execu-
tive secretary.
In a radio address Immediately
after MIR. Thompson had left, Mr..
Talmadge declared he was certain
of his legal position and was con-
fdent the State Supreme Court
would uphold his election by the
Legislature.
Confident of Position.
He said if the courts did not up
hold him that it would mean instead
of three sovereign branches of gov
eminent, Georgia would have only
one-the judiciary.
"I am confident of my legal posi-
tion,'' Mr.. Talmadge said, land !
am performing the duties of the
executive office. hope these would
be play Governors will cease to
interfere and allow the government
and the Legislature to get on with
enactment of the Democratic plat
form"
Later speaking for newsreel CAM
eramen and the radio, Talmadge re-
iterated his willingness to abide by
rulings of the courts but again in
sisted he was certain they had no
jurisdiction
Insisting there was no vacancy in
the governorship, Mr.. Talmadge de-
clared when there is such vacancy
I would be the first to accede' in
the succession of a Lieutenant Gov
ernor.
Guard Is Trebled.
He continued: mfr Thompson has
stated he. will take recourse in the
courts. That is his prerogative and
privilege to do so 8. If the
courts assume jurisdiction I will
abide by the decision"
Earlier Mr.. Talmadge reoccupied
the executive Offices behind a
trebled guard of State police and
announced there is only one per-
son who is Governor"
Gen. Griffin said he had posted
personally employed guards around
the arsenal in the State Armory here
to prevent withdrawal of any rifles
or ammunition by anyone, including
myself"

The new head of the American Legion Auxiliary's 920,000 members expects to spend her main force in office in an effort to convince American women of the need for universal military training.
 The Auyiliary's new president is handsome Mrs. Lee Hutton, wife of a postoifice employee of Excel slpr, Minn.
 If it is necessary to establish a speakers bureau of American Le- zion Auxiliary women to inform American women on this question, it will be done" Mrs. Hutton said at the close of the Legion's annual convention in New York, where the Auxiliary endorsed universal mili- tary training.
 American women hold the whip hand on this question of universal military training. I understand hey have showed under their Con- gressmen's desks with an avalanche If mail protesting this measure. We mean to keep at it until we get a still bigger pile of mail from wo-

 Tn the last two years we trained 10000 women to visit the veteran who .has to be hospitalized and help him or his family in the way that IS most needed" she declared. Next year we hope to double that number. There is important work to be done in rehabilitating the veteran after he leaves the hospi- tai, in helping him to find job, and keep up his spirits, and in as- sisting his family in various ways. We need thousands of American women for this work.

 Many American women object to universal military training be- cause they think it means sending their husbands and sons to war actually it means building up the country's military strength to such an extent that this can keep us out of war. Moreover, such training makes healthier, better specimens of our country's young men. Ameri- can women need to be told these things"
 In working on that task Mrs. Hutton will make tke customary Auxiliary presidential tour visiting all the states, the District of Col ltnbia, Panama, Hawaii and Alas xa. Her blue eyes sparkled with eagerness as she outlined her plans. Although she is in the middle register years, Mrs. Hutton, with her snow white Lair, fresh rosy skin and flashing smile, could still make the stag line quiver. She was born in Excelsior, went to school tnere, worked as business woman for several years and then married school friend veteran of World War I and settled down in her home town. The Huttons have no children.
 Mrs. Hutton came to the Aux yliary's head via the ranks and the road of hard work. She served as president of the Excelsior unit four different times between 1922 and 1888, moved up to the district pres icency and cn to the chairmanship of national committees on child welfare, finance and rehabilitation.

GEORGE RAFT, LYNN
 BARI ARE STARRED IN BILL AT CAPITOL

An unfinished song plays an inn portant role in RKO Radios tense mystery thriller "Nocturne,' star fing George Raft and Lynn Bari
 Tie sudden death of wellknown Hollywood composer, shot as he is working on the last two or three bars of a song furnishes De- tective Raft with a tough problem. It looks like a suicide and the police believe 1t is, but Raft, dis agreeing, incurs the enmity of his superiors by insisting upon con- ducting his investigations along the line of murder.
 His search for the guilty party narIows own to Miss Bari, a mo- ton picture actress, with whom he falls in love despite the fact that she is his chief suspect.
 With one of the most ingenious plot devices, "Nocturne' is packed with suspense and thrills and the solution is particularly well work ed out.
 Raft, in one of his finest roles of the season, is equally convinc- ing whether suavely detecting or engaged in two-fisted brawls, and finds a colorful partner in Miss Bari, who leads him a merry chase before he closes the case.
 Prominent in the supporting cast are Virginia Huston, Joseph Pevnsy and Myrna Dell Edwin L. Marin directed this production by Joan Harrison.
