HELD LIKELY TO AID IMS MAN
ATLANTA. Oa., Aug. 11. Down at
Warm Springs today, the president lis
taking stock of the Georgia situation.
If he realy desires to destroy Senator
Walter P. George, what he finds
should make him hopping mid The
great White House purge has de
generated Into rather sordid slapstick
comedy.
One would suppose that ihe first
step In the campaign against the
hated George would have been to
mobilize all federal employes behind
his New Deal opponent, U.. 8. Dis
trict Attorney Lawrence Camp. By
Ineptitude and divided councils, this
step has been bungled. Three-quarters
of the boys on the New Deal
payroll are. plugging for George.
Working In mass formatlou behind
renegade New Dealers are the util
ities, the banks, railroads and the
large Industries of Georgia. In fact,
you have to look twice to tell this
group of Senator George's support
ers from the fat cats of Pennsylvania
politics In the palmy Republican
days. Against such a line-up, poor
Camp, a decent, personable enough
fellow, has got nowhere to date.
And the only discernible threat to
George comes from the brash, red
gallused demagogue. Gene Talmadge,
who once tried to make an Issue of
Mrs. Roosevelt's disapproval of lynch

It may be completely changed to
morrow. If the president puts on his
shining armor and rides into the
fray with real enthusiasm. He can
dragoon the federal' of flceholrters In
to line. He can draw a clear Issue
between himself and George. Above
all, he can appeal to the voting
meases of Georgia, who hold him In
adoring respect. He may not win his
