Gov. Ta|madge Asks White Bloc
Vote to Preserve Segregation

SAVANNAH, Ca, April 26 -
Especially - Governor Herman E.
Talmadge, who for years has de-
nounced so-called "bloc voting"
called for "the united ballot of
every white voter in Georgia,
Tuesday in an address before the
40th annual convention of the AS
ISOLATION of County Commissioners
of Georgia at the De Soto Hotel.
Referring to the approaching po-
litical campaign in Georgia, he
listed the preservation of segrega-
ton and the county unit system
as the vital issues.
Talmadge said a United States
Supreme Court decision outlawing
segregation in the public schools
in the South must be met in Geor-
gia with effective counter action"
by the next Legislature using as
it's legal foundation a proposed
state constitutional amendment.
eve pray that such calamitious
day will not be forced upon us for
it will destroy civilization as we
have known it in the South. Such
a decision would -rend our nation
asunder in this hour of interna-
tional peril" he declared.

AN Who Can't
Write Convicted
Of Forgery

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Apr. 3d.
(Special)-Court history Of an un-
usual type was made here last
Friday when a 31-year-old man
who can't write was convicted of
forgery.
According to the District Attor-
ney's office, John D. Daniel Of
Port Huron, Mich, made an "X"
pn government check belonging
to some one else to the amount of
$3.50 and cashed it. Therefore
the district attorney said he is
guilty of forgery.
Daniel was sentenced to II
months and 20 days in Jail for the
offense and has already started
serving his term.
The court reasoned that if a
mans tx" mark is acceptable in
cashing a check that does belong
to him it must also be recognized
for cashing a check that does not
belong to him. He therefore must
be held responsible the same as
if he could read and write.
