A brand new name for this To-

La Guardia Airport and I walked
that extra mile to the place where
you check your baggage. Where
to?" asked the handsome young
man in a blue uniform. Wash

Then with a friendly abandon he
turned to his assistant and called
"One to Truman's Paradiser
That's one synonym I hadn't
thought Of.
And the remark that best de-
scribes Capitalites' point of view
came from a. popular divorcee here
the other day. Somebody asked
the lady in question If she were
going to a certain party that in
volved some inconvenience in get
ting to. "Oh my, yes." she replied
revealing the typical Washington
outlook. II wouldn't miss a party
III I could help it."
Then she added. "The epitaph

A business mans secretary
writes: What I want to know is
whether I should excuse myself
every time I have to interrupt my
employers conversation with a
visitor? It seems abrupt and ILL
hammered to 60 in and stand
there without saying anything; on
the other hand. perhaps it may
seem over-polite to some people II
such Interruptions are generally
accepted as part of the duties OF a
secretary"
You should quietly place tele-
gram or written memoranda or
papers beside him on his desk.
When it is necessary to interrupt
him with an important message,
you just stand within short dis
tance of him and wait until he
turns his attention to you. You
then give him the message. OF
course, If you have message that
is urgent, you would have to say,
Excuse me, Mr.. Jones. Long dis

Dear Mrs. Post: Should my

he has taken no especial interest

Keep Bridal Bouquet
Dear Mrs. Post: If the bride

does custom still make it neces-

Answer: The custom of throw

TaImadge Says Real Purpose OF New

Enforce New Law

Atlanta, Ga. April % = Cover

conceal the purpose of the States
Registration law, enacted into law
by the recent legislature.
Association of Georgia County
Speaking before the annual
Commissioner last Tuesday, Mr..
Tlamadge said there were ap-
proximately 10000 Negroes OF
the voting list, and:
"The only way we can remove
them from the lists is to strike
the old lists in its wntirety and
start over
Talmadge's speech followed
statewide repercussions to the en-
forcement of the law in Georgia's
159 counties, due to the heavy
expense involved. In Bibbs County,
where new registrars have already
been appointed, it was estimated
it will cost upwards of $4,000 to
reregister the eligible voters.
In Cobbs County Monday, where
the April term of the Grand jury
was ordered to set about selecting
six registrars, Judge Howell
declared:
"I don's know whether it is
a good law or not, / know one
thing, it's boing to be costly"
Under the Cobb County plan, the
jurors will choose six names
and from these resistrars will be
appointed at cost of $7.40 a
day until the county's 10000 odd
voters are registered.
In his address to the Commiss-
toner's Convention Tuesday, the
governor charged failure Of the
counties to process the new regis
tration ruling to certain politi-
cans who have and hope to solicit
and use the bloc votes "as a
political weapon. He stated that
there are approximately 100000
Negroes on the state voting lists
and said:
Everyone knows that many of
them are not qualified under the
constitution of Georgia or the laws
of our state. Those of this "Bloc"
h esaid, "Know little or nothing
of the candidates or issues in
volved in elections"

Sheriff for his Iackadaisical atti-
tude in yielding to the whims of
the Khan members. The Judge
quoted from an editorial which
appeared in the Atlanta Journal
which charged the Sheriff with
direlection of his sworn duty when
the mob took the Negroes. ''In
Old England, the Journal edi-
trial began, "the county sheriff
was somebody to be reckoned with.
He rode a high horse. and his
sway over the countryside not be
challenged" and with reference to
the Dade Sheriff, the Journel
said:
Sheriff Lynch, Dade county,
strong arm of the law, and three
of his deputies arrested the Ne
groes in a raid on Negro wo-
mans house where "wild parties
had been reported. The masked
mob took the prisoners away from
the Sheriff, burned a cross and
then administered the whippings.
"Had Sheriff Lynch stood his
ground and defied the mob up
holding the law as he was sworn
to do, he wauld have done his
state and nation a matchless SER
vice, as it is the kindest thing to
say is that he should have chosen
less hazardour profession
Judge Tonsend, concluding his
citation Of the Journals editor
ial said:
'To this, I want to add that
he (the sheriff) is a liar and a
disgrace to the Democratic form
of Government"
