TALWADGEENTERS 11, SEMATERACE To Oppose Russe!l in Pri- mary in Fight “to Save Georgia and Nation.” By the Assoctated Press. MCcRAE, Ga., July 4—Gov. Eugene Talmadge, New Deal critic, became & candidate for the United States Sep- ate today, declaring he wanted to go to Washington “to protect the Na- tion.” ‘The bespectacled executive will op- pose Senator Richard B. Russell, jr., ardent supporter of the Roosevelt ad- ministration, whom he succeeded as Governor four years ago. They meet in the September 9 Democratic pri- mary. Talmadge, frequently snapping his brilliant red suspenders and perspir- ing freely under a hot midday sun, announced his candidacy in an hour speech before a home town crowd. “I want to go to the United' States Senate and protect Georgia,” he shouted. Wants to Protect Union. “In protecting Georgia I protect every other State in this Union. In protecting Georgia and every other State 1n this Union, I protect this grand and glorious Nation from all enemies.” Only once did he refer to Russell, when he charged the Senator was suffering from an “inferiority com- plex” for supporting President Roose- velt. Talmadge listed a platform. Major planks include: Reduction of the Federal budget to $1,000,000,000 a year for all purposes. i | { A national law prohibiting creation | of public debt beyond the fiscal or calendar year. Removal of any cabinet officer who attempts to change the form of gov- ernment. Take the Government out of com- petition with private business. Favors 2-Cent Postal Rate. Reduction in postage stamps from 8 to 2 cents. Stop issuance of tax-exempt Gov- ernment bonds, and stop issuance of Federal bonds of any voted by the people. The Governor presented President Charles D. Redwine of the State Sen- ate as his candidate for Governor on a program upholding the Talmadge administration. When entries for the September primary closed today, Representative Carl Vinson, chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, and four of his colleagues were without opposition. The others are Hugh Peterson, Em- met M. Owen, Malcolm Tarver and Paul Brown Representative Bryant Castellow did not seek renomination. B. Frank Whelchel is opposed by a former Representative, John S. Wood, whom he unseated two years ago by & single vote. RUSSELL REPLIES. Senator Hits Talmadge's “Republican” Platform. ATLANTA, July 4 (#).—Senator Richard B. Russell, jr, opening his campaign for re-election eight hours after Gov. Talmadge announced for his post, said tonight the race would provide Georgians an opportunity to “settle forever” whether they favor| the New Deal or the forces of “reac- tion.” kind unless | King’s Name Romantic- ally Linked With That of Cousin. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 4—King Edward VIII may don the crown of England next May with a second cousin kneel- ing at his side. Two young European princesses, both talented and beautiful and rela- tives of Edward, have been mentioned directly in the British press as fa- vorites to wed the monarch. Insurance odds against the King's marriage before his coronation re- cently dropped to 5 to 1 from 10 to 1. ‘Whether insurance companies pay will depend, perhaps, on King ward’s fancy concerning: Princess Frederica - Louise - Thyra - Victoria - Margerita = Sophia « Ogla = Cecilia-Isabella-Christa, a grand- daughter of former Kaiser Wilhelm, only daughter of the House of Bruns- wick and Lunebourg, and second cousin of the King himself. Princess Alexandrine Louise, third daughter of Prince Harald of Den- mark, niece of King Christian, and great-granddaughter of King Chris- tian IX and Queen Louise of Den- mark, who also were the great-grand- parents of Edward. Previous Rumors Denied. Rumors that Princess Alexandrine Louise might march to the altar with King Edward were not new last No- vember, when they brought a vigorous denial from her father, Prince Harald. They have persisted, however. Harald was one of eight children to divide the estate of the late King Frederick VIII of Denmark and has | an annual income of about $15,000. No dowry could be provided for the ar-old Danish princess, it is said, but the House of Commons re- | cently granted the King some $2,000,- 1000 a year for royal expenses and $350,000 annually for his queen in | the event of marriage. ‘Wide-browed, with dark eyes, al- most raven hair dressed in a simple bob, and just a fleeting hint of a dimple, Alexandrine is reserved and | studious, with a strong inclination | toward the artistic. Her favorite | hobby 1is book-binding. Enjoys Outdoor Life. Outdoar life has always interested | her. She has been seen frequently in | shorts, trudging the Danish country- | side, with a knapsack and folded tent |on her back. She delights in dogs, and has no less than eight of them.

She is also a second cousin to the Duchess of Kent, the former Princess | Marina of Greece, and it may have been through the duchess’ introduction that Edward met the potential future Queen of the British Empire, who wu; bern only 19 months before the | armistice was signed. Insurance against the King's mar- riage before coronation has not taken | on any aspect of gambling. Brokers have accepted orders only from com- mercial houses likely to lose if the | King were to marry before next May. | Manufacturers of coronation sou- | | venirs, which are made up many; months in advance, weuld suffer loss | | if two portraits instead of one were required.

Risks even have been takea out | against a change in the route of the coronation procession by owners of stands along the proposed line of | | march. | Now that the first shock of his father's death has passed, Edward is once more entertaining with his old love for small, informal parties, al- though, of course, court mourning is still in effect.

Many other cases of treatment by private physicians were reported. For almost the entire half hour of the brilliant display on the Monument Grounds, the spectators were show- ered with sifting ashes. Occasional fragments which had not burned out by the time they reached the earth caused parts of the crowd to scatter periodically in minor confusion. Work in Meager Light. Many persons who did not seek medical aid left the newspaper-strewn grounds with eyes smarting from the | ashes. | The Regl Cross workers were forced to do their work by the meager light of lanterns and flashlights. Their tent was set up alongside the Monument, ‘while an ambulance near Fifteenth street and Constitution avenue acted as an auxiliary dressing station. Each person treated was advised to go later to a doctor since burns of the eye, if not given adequate care, might prove serious. Almost all of the in- Juries cared for at the two stations, it was reported, were caused by sperks and ashes from the municipal fireworks.

NEW YORK, July 4—The resigna- tion of Dr. Louis I. Harris from ths executive committee of the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures be- cause of its policy of accepting funds from the movie industry and his con- viction that it has failed “to give effect to its expressed ideals” was made known today. Dr. Harris, former commissioner of health in New York City, criticized the practice of describing all films as “passed by the National Board of Re- view.of Motion Pictures.” “The use of the word ‘passed’ is mis- leading because the board has no powers of censorship,” he said. ‘Fur- thermore, many pictures are thus ad- vertised before the board can function or any of 350 volunteer reviewers have even seen the films.” Dr. Harris said he meant to discuss the situation, with the committee but Ernest Smith, 14, 1959 Third street, burned.

BY REX COLLIER. Department of Justice officials are studying with some concern a little- publicized act, rushed through Con- gress during its final days, which ex- tends G-Man protection to strike picketers and union organizers. The statute, entitled “An act mak- ing it a felony to transport in inter- state or foreign commerce persons to be employed to obstruct or interfere aligns the Department of Justice with in strikes having interstate angles Government authorities in the past have striven to avoid any show of partisanship in labor disputes. In his role as unbiased mediator, Uncle Sam has been accorded the con- fidence of both sides in recurring struggles between the working man and his bosses. Additional Men Needed. Chief concern of the Department of Justice arises not because of this seeming change in Government policy, but because of failure of Congress to provide funds and additional G-Men to enforce the act. The Federal Bu- reau of Investigation, after much de- bate on the hill, was authorized to add 200 special agents during this fiscal year—but even this increment is in- sufficient to keep abreast of current work. The law was drafted by the House | Judiciary Committee after testimony regarding efforts of imported strike- breakers to interfere with picketing of‘ industrial plants by striking worwkers. | It was inspired by an article, “I! Break Strikes,” relating activities of Pearl Bergoff, professional strike- breaker, in supplying “aid” to employ- ers whose factories are closed by strikes. Representative Sirovich, Democrat, of New York told the House during brief debate that the bill “provides against the interstate transportation of strikebreakers, anarchists and crooks that are sent in to destroy” striking employes. Wide Implications in Bill. Representative Miller, Democrat, of Arkansas, who sponsored the bill in the House, differed with Sirovich as to exact scope of the measure. Miller expressed the opinion on the floor that the bill would not prevent importation of “scab” workers by owners of a plant whose regular employes are on strike. He said only persons imported from outside a State to “Interfere with | the right of peaceful picketing" would be affected. | The bill, as passed and signed by the President, however, applies no{ only to picketing interference, but to efforts “to obstruct or interfere. in | any manner.” with the “right of or- ganization for the purpose of collective bargaining.” Department of Justice lawyers believe this wording may have very wide implications—just how wide the courts may have to determine. The act provides that ‘“whoever shall knowingly transport or cause : to be transported, or aid or abet in transporting in interstate or foreign commerce, any person with intent to employ such person” for the specified obstructionist purposes “shall be | deemed guilty of a felony and shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding $5,000, or by imprisonment not ex- ceeding two years, or both, in the dis- cretion of the court.” | | Blanton Opposed Bill. Representative Blanton. Democrat, of Texas, vigorously opposed passaze of the bill, contending there is no such thing as “‘peaceful picketing” and citing instances where “so-called peaceful picketers had taken brick- bats and broken out the windows of a factory.” “And when the factory owners tried | to get people to work.” Blanton de- | clared, “these peaceful picketers would catch them and beat them nearly to Building; they sent automobile loads | of thugs up there and took men off | their jobs and beat them up because they wanted to work and would not | join the union.” | In reply, Representative Marcan- | tonio, Democrat, of New York, asserted “there have been organized through- out the country professional strike- breakers, many of them with long criminal records—racketeers of the worst sort.” He said they are trans- ported from State to State and taken into strike centers. “Who is most likely to cause dis- order, violate the law and do shoot- ing?” Marcantonio inquired. “The honest worker who is out on strike trying to get a decent livelihood, or thése racketeers with long criminal records, who are well paid to do vio- lence and who are transported from one State to another?” _— Irish Rail Income Up.

While the judging was under way, “Blackie” bolted for home. Ten-year- old Edith was determined, however, and went after him.

CINCINNATI, July 4--A former opera singer and her chauffeur were charged today with the slaying of her brother, Capt. Harry R. Miller, wealthy retired Cincinnati fireman, and the dismembering of his body. Deputy Sheriff D. C. Bakes of Car- roll County, Ky., brought the murder warrants to Cincinnati as Indiana State police held for questioning Miss Flora Miller, 66, and the chauffeur, Herber L. Hicks, both of Cincinnati. Bakes also had four “John Doe” murder warrants in the case. He sald he had obtained them as a precaution in searching for other persons he be- lieved might be involved. “We have new evidence to strengthen our belief that the crime was committed in Carroll County,” Bakes said as he prepared to leave for Carroliton, where tomorrow he will confer with Capt. Matt Leach, head of the Indiana State police. The filing of murder warrants cli- maxed an extensive investigation started by Bakes when a head and pair of hands were found in a small lake two miles from Carroliton, Ky., last Sunday by two farm boys. Body Found in Culvert. On June 19 a headless and hand- less body had been found stuffed in a culvert and trussed up with clothes line near Eminence, 20 miles from Carrollton. Three friends of Miller identified | the head as that of the former fire | captain, while Dr. C. T. Bauer, & Harrison, Ohio, dentist, identified | bridgework in the mouth as that he had done for Capt. Miller two years ago. A Covington, Ky., attorney, Ste- phens L. Blakely, left late today for Indianapolis with the announced in- tention of seeking a writ of habeas corpus in Federal Court for the re- lease of Hicks and Miss Miller, both of whom denied any connection with June 11 or the subsequent discovery | of his dismembered body. Hiss Regina Huelefeld of Cincinnati | disclosed today that she and Capt.| Miller were to have been married Sep- | tember 20. She also said she under- stood Capt. Miller had intended mak- | his present will were not disclosed. Friends declared they believed him to | have an estate of about $100,000, al- though they were not positive of this. Miss Miller had lived the life of a recluse, disdaining modern clothes. She kept 15 trunks filled with her old stage clothes in the attic and often | wore her brother's discarded clothes and shoes. She asserted: “I don't know what this is all about.” Sang in Opera Company. Records of the Cincinnati City Wel- fare Department disclosed Miss Miller sang second soprano in a grand opera | company that toured the United | States, Canada and Europe many | ! years ago. | After an unhappy love affair, wel- fare workers reported, Miss Miller | kept her bed room locked and the shutters closed for 15 years, sleeping on boards laid between two chairs in the kitchen. The welfare report. made in 1929, sald Miss Miller's stage name was Florence D'Ephia and that she re- tained it for many years after leav- ing the stage. Workers found 15 trunks filled with stage clothes in the attic and in the basement found several truckloads of marble which Miss Miller said she intended to use to build a marble house for herself in the back yard. The report said Miss Miller became angry at her brother when he co- operated in cleaning up conditions about her house which had brought complaints by neighbors. Woman Heard Shots.
