Arnall, Georgia Ex-Chief To Speak In Hoch Friday
bilis Arnall, former governor of Georgia who for a short time occupied the rotunda of the state capitol while another governor sat in the executive office, will speak in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 p.m. tomorrow.
will speak with you. "What's of his speech is "Whose Country Is This, Anyway?" Activ-
Now on a speaking tour which will carry him through 48 states, Mr. Arnall is taking his ideas to college audiences. He speaks tonight at the University of Utah.
After the death of Eugene Talmadge, Mr. Arnall was ousted from the governor's chair by Herman Talmadge, son of the governor-elect, but set up his offices in the rotunda. After Mr. Arnall's leaving, his position as challenger to Herman Talmadge's right to become governor was taken up M. E. Thompson, lieutenant governor.
Commenting in Utah on a recent Georgia court ruling naming Herman Talmadge as the legal governor, Mr. Arnall said he thought the effect would be "unimportant" because the court is an intermediary one.
Mr. Arnall became the youngest governor of any state when he deated the late Eugene Talmadge for the governorship of Georgia in 1942. That same year he was chosen one of the 10 outstanding men of the country as governor-merger.
"I am still convinced that the Georgia Supreme court will uphold the claim of Mr. Thompson," he said.

Speaking before nearly 2,500 students on "The Philosophical Way of Life," Dr. Smith, former Illinois state senator and representative at large from Ill. in the 76th U. S. congress, said that to be on the way toward a sound philosophy of life you must find out what you want out of life, learn how to get it, and learn how to use what you get after you have failed to get what you want.
"It is not an easy task to stick to one thing which you want out of life." Dr. Smith said.
Dr. Smith continued, "just because we find an ideal that is good for us is no reason why we should think that it is good for others and try to make them live up to it."
Dr. Smith explained that the philosophic way of life combines finding ideals worth serving and not condemning others because their ideals are not the same as ours.
"Skill is the single word which I believe is the heart of ethics," Dr. Smith said. "It is the key to the 'means' of getting what we want out of life."
"The finest thing about a life of skill in any occupation," Dr. Smith said, "is that it constitutes in itself the meaning of a good life."
In studying the reconstruction of Japanese education toward our way and contributing to a document which was to help in building a new ethics for Japan. Dr. Smith found that it is wise to accept life the way it is after you have done your best to make it what it ought to be.
"Constructive resignation is the final climax to the philosophic attitude," Dr. Smith said. "To get what we want out of life, we must achieve in a narrower field and be able to do a few things better than anyone else. Resourcefulness and devotion to this task is required to master the means to what we want out of life.
Dr. Smith will meet with students at the day in the Kansas room of the Union.
