Talmadge Demobilizes State Guard In Georgia Governors' 'Power' Duel
Arnall Refuses To Yield Office As Legislature Elects 'Young' Talmadge
Atlanta, Ga. (UP)—Herman Eugene Talmadge, elected governor of Georgia today by the state legislature, issued an executive order shortly before noon to strip military power from Gov. Ellis Gibbs Arnall, who had refused to yield the office.
The order called for demobilization of the Georgia state guard headed
Cal B W Collins, when Mu®
by. Col. R. W. Collins, whom Mr. Arnall this morning appointed adjutant general.
Mr. Talmadge previously appointed Adjunct General Marvin Griffin for a new term as commander of the Georgia national guard.
Mr. Talmadge's executive order was issued as he and Mr. Arnall vied for executive power in adjoining offices at the state capitol, issuing conflicting orders and appointing different men to state offices.
The strange battle for executive power, which had been touched off in violence in the early hours of today, started when the state legislature elected Mr. Talmadge as governor at the tail end of a 16-hour joint session of the house and senate.
Mr. Talmadge was elected on the basis that he had the greatest number of write-in votes for governor in the general election last November. Mr. Arnall contended that the legislature had no right to elect a governor and planned to hold office until Lt. Guy,-elect M. F. Thompson is sworn in and qualified to succeed to the office.
Young Talmadge's father, the late Eugene Talmedge, had been elected governor in the general election but he died last month.
Mr. Arnall said that no doubt his decision to fight the Talmadge general assembly election will be upheld in the courts. This means Mr. Arnall will probably stay in until court action.
Bugs Threaten Us With Starvation, Woodruff Says
"The world is rapidly becoming overpopulated, and mass starvation is sure to come unless we can defeat our insect enemies." Prof. L. C. Woodruff warned in his talk to the Entomology club Tuesday afternoon.
Speaking on the relation of insects and man, Prof. Woodruff gave briefly a history of early man. He gave examples of the periods through which early man passed, the collectional, agricultural, and transportational, and showed how the importance of insects increased as man began to move about from country to country carrying new insect pests.
Notes on home-constructed entomological equipment were given by Herbert Wallace and Dr. R. H. Beamer.
"There was practically a balance of nature in America when the white man came," Prof. Woodruff said, "but with the increase of white man and agriculture in America, insect pests increased."
Australia Asks Small Nation Participation In Peace Talks
London. (UP) — Australia submitted to the Big Four Deputies today a demand that the small allied nations be permitted to participate "fully and freely" in the preliminary discussions of the German peace treaty.
The Foreign Ministers Council of Deputies discussed the Australian demand for little nation participation in the treaty consideration at the second session of its London meeting to lay the groundwork for the Moscow conference in March.
Thy Ear Offend Thee
Home (UP) — Nineteen-year-old Romano Pandoli got tired of jokes about his long ears today and, taking his razor, pared each one down to halfsize. Physicians said he would recover from the loss of blood in a couple of weeks.
May Hear Arnall
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said today that he hopes the University will get to hear Ellis Arnall, who is scheduled to speak here Feb. 14, but "that we will have to wait."
"If Mr. Arnall remains governor of Georgia, he probably will not keep his lecture contract," he said.
Sunnyside For Faculty During Shortage
Student applications will not be assigned to Sunnyside units until the crucial housing shortage is over, Irvin Youngberg, director of the housing bureau, said today.
He estimated that this probably will not be until next fall and will be determined by future enrollment issues.
"The Sunnyside project must be used to fill nearly 200 applications from faculty members," he explained.
"About 90 per cent of these staff applicants are veterans, and the few non-veteran instructors were promised adequate housing facilities before accepting positions with the University," Mr. Youngberg asserted.
Because K.U. had access to Sunflower Village, it was allotted only the 186 housing units which comprise Sunnyside. This is a much lower ratio than other smaller colleges.
"We are trying to get the best possible use out of the project," Mr Youngberg stated.
At present only 60 single students still occupy Sunflower Village, which has a capacity of 1300. This is a drastic decrease from the 800 once lived in the bachelor's barracks, and indicates that the housing problem has eased considerably.
Daughter Born To Kingmans
While this section of Sunflower Village might soon be closed for reasons of economy, the apartment area for married students might remain open for sime time yet, since there are almost 600 families still occupying that area.
Mr. Youngberg revealed that FHA inspectors told him Sunnyside is one of the best of such projects he had seen. All of those now living in the newly completed apartments have expressed their satisfaction, he added.
According to present estimates, the Sunnyside units will be used for at least five years, and will probably be occupied entirely by students for most of that time. Mr Youngberg believes.
Evidence also was introduced to prove that Japanese pilots knowingly bombed American hospital ships and that they committed crimes in absolute submission to orders.
