GEORGIA FASCISM

Six months ago, this writer, chal- lenging the Ku Klux Klan from the steps Of the State Capitol in Atlanta, wrote a column on the new Cracker Dictator and his son, who had just started their return to power in Georgia To get the full picture of what is going on in Georgia today, excepts from that column may be worth repeating.
 Already Herman Talmadge," this column reported in July, lis pre- pairing to run for the U. S. Senate or succeed his father. Like Hit Ter, once Talmadge gets into pow CT no opposition party can ever stop him No better plan for Fas- ciSm has ever been devised in the United States The Georgia cleo ton looks like the most alarming political development in the na- tion Like Hitler, elected by minority Of the voters, Talmadge also has a great radio technique A total of l25 Georgia newspapers were against him; seven Tor, but his radio technique won out Just as big business in Germany put up the money to finance Hitler, big business. in Georgia financed Tal- madge. As Governor, he had put textile workers behind barbed- wire concentration camp, and big business expects Talmadge to do it again

GEORGIA WHIRLAGIG

With all the confusion coupled with resort to force that has accompanied Georgias double, sometimes triple governorship it is very great relief to see the issue Of who's got the Governors chair?" at last apparently on it's way towards decision by the courts
 Despite the delicate techncates poised by the death of Governor elect Eugene Talmadge, Georgia gubernatorial tang likely could have been settled with out furor had not the strong representation of Tal- madge followers in the State legislature feared the liberal Lieutenant Governor Elect to such extent that they selected Herman Talmadge, worthy successor to his father
 Talmadge supporters maintain that authority for this extraordinary procedure can be found in pro vision of the State constitution declaring that if no person has received majority of the total vote n the general election the General Assembly shall elect a Governor from the two candidates receiving the highest vote Since the younger Tamadge received some hundreds at the general election it is argued that he is qualified asprant for the office However this constitutional provision well as another limiting the legislatures choice to can ddate "who in life" and does not decline the eec- tion were intended to provide for the selection of q Governor in case no candidate received majority of the votes cast at the general election Incidentally, elected under the county unit voting rule Eugene Talmadge did not receive popular majority.
 The State courts not expected to uphold the strained interpretation of basic law that has landed

WILL MARSHALL GET TOUGH?

Friends of new Secretary of State Marshall report that while resting in Hawaii he was also studying plans fer reorganization of the State Department, including a knock-down. drag-out battle with the so-called white-spat career diplomats who for years have had closed shop cn U. s. foreign pol icy.
 General Marshall already has had the benefit of thorough State Department study made for him by the former Secretary of the U $. General Staff, Col Frank Me Carthy who, like Marshall, is a Vir- einia Military Institute graduate Originally Jimmie Byrnes appointed Mccarthy Assistant Secretary of State with the job of reorganizing the State Department. But the career clique, just as skillful at closed-shop techniques as John l.. Lewis, begged him down
 Tenderly and adroitly they cut Mccarthy off from Byrnes. Sick and disgusted, Mccarthy finally re- signed
 In the interim, Byrnes South Carolina law partner efficient Don aid Russell. has carried on in Me Carthy's place Even he, however, has had trouble bucking the king pins of career diplomacy. Russell has championed the principle of the career service. has tried to boost the younger. wire diplomats, has set up joint diplomatic schools with the Army Navy and has de- manded that all diplomats get a chance to come home on occasional visits so they won't forget they're still Americans

 1.-Blccking Russell's plan to move the State Department out of it's ancient palace to more efti- cient building.
 2 Starting boom for Freeman Mathews. detailed and dull, to be- come Undersecretary of State
 3.-Putting a few road-blocks in the path of hard working Assistant Secretary Bill Benton.
 Finally the kingpins almost put their man, Sam Reber, in the Of- flee of International Conferences. Reber is sometimes referred to as the so-called Sam Reber' because he authored Cerdell Hulls wartime statement blasting deGaulle's fore es as the 'so-called Free French. "
 With the LISA now trying to build up middle of the-road and deGaulle Frenchmen as against Communist Frenchmen, -Reber's appointment to job handling international con- ferences was frowned upon.

LOUIS-WALCOTT AFTERMATH
Boxing Point System May
Be Thrown Out By Board
BINGHAMTON, NY. Dec. II.

BlNGHAMTON, NY. Dec. II.
ILL., A former member of the
State Athletic commission pre-
dicted today that the controver-
sial point system for scoring
close prize fights in New York

result of the Louis-Walcott fight.
Col. D. Walker Wear of Bing-
hamton also said in an inter-
view he saw a Strong possibili-
ty that Eddie Eagan, present
commission chairman, would re-
sign. Wear did n OF elaborate.
Eagan installed the point sys-
tenn two years ago to reduce

on rounds, an official may give
the decision to the man with
more points.

nal commission set up the 1920

cision he was awarded over Jer-

clared Louis the winner on
