teachers still are paid less than
their real worth. Zone man went
so far as to say the services of
real teacher cannot be compen-
stated in money, but that the
TEACHER who is interes ed only in
salary isn't worth the amount
paid.)
LOPSIDED - Fear was ex-
pressed that the situation is get
ting lopsided and that too mucn
emphasis is being placed on teach
err pay to exclusion or RELOCATION
of other equally important factors.
1t vas noted that the 1947 session
was the only general assembly in
nearly fifty years which made no
contribution to an improved pub
lie school system, except for IT,
creased teacher salaries. T e
larger salaries were approved,
but failure to enact other progress
sive legislation was deplored.
TURNED DOWN - Requests of
the state board of education for
more adequate supervision, for
enforcement of compulsory at
tendance laws and for state aid
to the school building program
were turned down. Legislative at
tention was focused on teacher
salaries. At thai, and despite a
very powerful lobbying activity.
the teacher salary scale finally
adopted is much lower than the
scale advocated by some very po-
tent influences in state govern
ment.
ANOMALOUS - Result is an
anomoly. The STATE will next year
pay its school teachers more than
at any time in previous history.
There are laws requiring parents
to send their children to school
and other laws requiring counties
and local school districts to pro-
vide adequate physical facilities
but the state is left impotent to
enforce attendance or physical IA
cility laws. or to provide adequate
supervision of the teaching staff.
Because of this impotence many
students Of the problem believe
the children Of the state will not
derive full benefit from the money
spent on teacher salaries and
through 10 fault at all of the
teachers.
EDUCATION Apparently
state efforts at education are di
rected at Inc wrong age level. In
stead Of at the public school child
rem it should be channeled to adul-
property owners. Davidson county
a few days ago voted down pro
posal for a tax levy to supplement
state school funds. Not long agi
Orange county voters turned doWr
a bond issue to build schoo
houses. Previously Guilford coun
ty had voted down a tax levy fol
schools, but the city of Greens
boro later approved such levy. II
nearly every case it has been the
rural vote that negated extra tax
es for public school purposes.
DUTY - So the education study
commission seems to have a jol
to do, not Only in direct relation
to public school administration
but in proving to the people gen
orally thai public education is AZ
expensive item, but that it i:
worth what it costs. And to be
worth hat it costs other item!
than teacher salaries must be tax
en- into account. Adequate build
ings; we'll equipped Laboratories
and libraries, relationship o
transportation and consolidation
and full cooperative effort on par
of the state and the local unit are
equally important.

new Capitol in the same vicinity, and
preserve the old one as historic
place, win meet with the same op-
position.
One strong argument advanced in
favor Of extending the central por-
ton Of the Capitol eastward has
been that it would provide a more
symmetrical base for the dome. which
now appears to rest on the outer
edge of the building. Another has
been that the old central section
now built OF painted sandstone
could be faced with marble to match
the House and Senate wings.
The last time the east front ex-
tension bill was brought out of COM
mittee, some years prior to World
War II, it was opposed on the ground
that the Capitol in its present form
had historic value which should
not be altered.
1t was pointed out yesterday that
some of the States have outgrown
their original Capitol buildings, al
though they are not as old as the
Federal Capitol.

At the same time. Senator Bridges
pointed out, the remaining commit.

working space.
In recent years q number oi
downtown Government agencies

ridors wherever possible.
It is too early to tell whether the
suggestion for an entirely new Capt.

Georgia Bank Sues
To Determine Who
Is Legal Governor
By the Associated Press

ATLANTA, Jan. 25.-The Full
ton National Bank of Atlanta
filed suit in Henry County Su-
perior Court tonight to deter
mine who Is legal Governor of
Georgia.
Superior Judge Bond Armand inn
mediately signed a temporary re-
straining order preventing either
Herman Talmadge or his guberna-
torial rival, 1t. Gov, M. E. Thomp-
son. from drawing on sos, 1882 which
was left in the State executive de-
partment fund by retiring Gov, Ellis
Arnall
Both Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Tai
madge were summoned to appear
at McDonough, February THE
same day Mr.. Talmadge must answer
a parallel challenge by Mr.. Thomp-
son in the same court.
The earlier suit, originally brought
by Mr.. Arnall and later amended in
the name of Mr.. Thompson, seeks
to enjoin Mr.. Talmadge from exer-
cising authority of governor.
Aimed at Speedy Review
Both cases are aimed at speedy
review by Georgia's Supreme Court.
The banks litigation conceded
with demands for grand jury in
vestigation into allegations that
legislators were offered bribes to
influence their votes on the night
the General Assembly elected Mr..
Talrnadge as governor.
Devereaux F. McClatchey, counsel
fer the bank, said the lieutenant
Governor and six members of his
executive staff had presented checks
totaling more than $1,000 today.
None was paid. The banks peti-
ton cited that there was "a bona
f1de controversy as to the persons
entitled to withdraw" funds, and
pleaded it could determine only at
its peril the claims of the rival
Governors"
The petition continued: THE ends
of justice require at the rights and
legal relations of the defendants to
the funds be declared by the
court"

he desired any further instruction
be made. He said he was satisfied.
The jury was not bound to state
it's opinion as to the precise cause
of death. .....
Medical Opinions Heard.
AS the inquest drew to a close, 1t
heard succession of medical opln-
ions as to why Scott died.
Deputy Coroner Christopher j.
Murphy, who performed an autopsy,
stood by his original finding that
a relatively rare reaction to the pre-
ventive injections was responsible.
Mr.. Mitchell asked:
Gould there possibly have been
any other cause of death?"
There was no other cause OF
death" DR.. Murphy replied.
DR.. Samuel A. Alexander, an ear.
nose and throat specialist, who was
present at the autopsy, testified he
had made entries through the mas
toids to examine the ears for hem
orrhage indications and had found
none.
Method Questioned.
DR.. Robert S. Jason, head of the
pathology department of Howard
University, gave the jury his opinion
the principal cause of death was
shock, but not shock of the type
produced by reactions to the anti
toxins. He said he conducted a
postmortem on the body in an un-
dertaking establishment after it had
been released from the morgue.
He took issue with the method OF
entry to the inner ears, saying it
was not usual. Asked whether there
were any portions missing, he said
only the material extracted in max
ing entry.
DIR. Warren S. Wilkins, a pathology
instructor at the university, said he
concurred in DR.. Jason'S findings,
which included indications of hemo-
static bronchial pneumonia.

and one other legislator were offered
s100 900 in corporation retainers to

Legislative Probe Monday.
A parallel legislative investiga-

Mr.. Talmadge refused comment,
but Mr.. Thompson said he welcomed
inquiry. ANY charge of bribery
should be investigated" he said.
"The public is entitled to know
about it, and it should be either
proved or disproved."
Mr.. Arnall was not available for
comment on proposals for grand
jury inquiry. However, in st. Pet

great pressure on the Legislature
Il by Talmadge campaign contributors
resulted in Herman's election.
Mr.. Arnall quoted one anony-

Ex-Secret Service Chief Named
AtomBoord Security Consultont
Wilson Appointed
For Special Job
Guq Tiqhtened

Tightening the gag on atomic
data, the Atomic Energy Com
mission last night announced
the appointment OF Frank J..
Wilson, former Secret Service
chief, as special consultant on
security.
The man who retired only this
month after 80 years of Government
police work said it was a great
honor to serve my country in this
new. assignment"
Emphasizing that peacetime secu-
rity presents a more complex prob
lem than wartime efforts, the COM
mission said it would study the
Army's security measures with Mr..
Wilson with the view of strengthen
ing the program and providing max
imum protection.
The civilian commission headed
by David E. Lilienthal has continued
the Army security program since
taking over from the bomb-develop-
ing Manhattan District January 1.
Calling the appointment rather
sudden" Mr.. Wilson said he could
not comment on the job ahead Of
him until a complete survey was
made of the protection and security
now in existence.
II think the War Department did
an excellent job of maintaining Sc
curity around the atomic bomb,'' he
said. Now we must continue to see
that the country is protected to the
Nth degree"
He said his job was on a part
time basis and he did not know or
particularly care whether it car
ried a salary.
There will be more and more
reasons for more and more security
in protecting our atomic secrets .
he said.
Now SO years old, Mr.. Wilson be-
gan investigative work for the Gov
ernment under Herbert Hoover
when he was food administrator
during the World War. During the
10 years he was Secret Service Chief,
Mr.. Wilson won fame as the man
who conducted the field work that
brought Al Capone to justice. He
also was credited with recording
the serial numbers Of the bills lead
ing to the arrest of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, the Lindbergh kid
naper.
Mr.. Wilson perhaps is prouder of
the Secret Services achievements
in reducing counterfeiting 80 per
cent in the past 10 years. BY intro
ducing a Know Your Money" cam
paign in newspapers, magazines and
the public schools, the number of
counterfeiting arrests were reduced

Earlier in the day, Judge Boyd

at Gainesville, Ca, ruling he had no

general, as required by law.
simultaneously, in Washington
an exchange of correspondence was
made public indicating that Georgia
may be cut off from Federal funds
of any kind until the GovernorshiI
dispute is settled.
Federal Funds Threatened.
Chairman Aiken of the Senate
Committee on Expenditures in the
executive Departments, announced
he would ask accounting of all Fed
eral funds being distributed te
Georgia.
He was urged to question such dis
bursements in a letter from Senator
Taylor, Democrat of Idaho, a COM
mittee member who asserted until
the Georgia courts pass upon this
question, it would appear that nc
Federal official could safely disburse
any funds"
Senator Taylor suggested that II
checks went to the wrong set OF
Georgia officials, the Federal dis
bursting officers might find them
selves personally liable for improper
disbursements.
Senator Aiken told a reporter that
he had "just received" the Taylor
request and will act Monday because
most Government agencies observe
Saturday-Sunday holiday.
Will Make Inquiry.
"I would assume that Government
officials here have been standing on
legal grounds now on any disburse-
ments in Georgia" Senator Aiken
said. 1--WE, of course, will make in
quiry if Federal money is being dis
bursed in Georgia and in whose
care"
The chief of the Public Roads Ad-
ministration In Georgia already has
announced that he would release no
funds until the governorship issue is
settled.
If Federal funds are cut off, it i'm
mediately would affect Departments
of Public Health, Public Welfare,
Education, Forestry, Game and Fish,
State Highways, Veterans Service,
Labor and the University Of Georgia.
Georgia has enough State funds
on hand to last approximately 80
days.
Mr.. Thompson announced he
would call on both branches of the
legislature again to adjourn until
the constitutional questions involved
in the governorship are settled by
the courts.
Will Resist Move.

would resist such a move, and de-

Court Of Appeals Reverses District
 Court Jud cement

SAN FRANCISCO, CP) - The Ninth U. s. Circuit Court of Ap- peals Monday reversed an Alas kan district court judgment under which George Harrison Meeks was sentenced to life imprison- ment for Juneau staying. IL held that the Alaskan court had been guilty of harmful misconduct cal culated to prejudice the defend ants standing before the jury"
 The case involved the staying of Clarence J. Campbell, whose body was found in a ditch near Juneau. His throat had been cut and he had been robbed of some S2,000. Meeks was indicted, tried, convict ed and sentenced for the murder.
 The only direct witness pro- duced by the government was Kel- so B. Hardness, who earlier had been convicted of forgery and sentenced to two years at McNeil Island federal penitentiary. He was out on parole at the time of the MeekS trial.
 At the trial. MeekS' attorney at tempted to introduce HartneSS' record but the court would not permit him.
 The court of appeals held this to be in error and ruled that "eVl' dence of parole is clearly permis' sable" and "the courts refusal tC admit it in evidence was substan- tial error requiring a reversal ot : judgment"
 When Meeks' attorney persisted in his efforts, the court found hin in contempt, fined him $50 anc ordered him removed from the case until the fine was paid anC the contempt purged.
 The circuit court held that the
