FARM LAW AIDS TALMADGE
IN GEORGIA SENATE RACE
TOBACCO GROWERS FACE
PENALTY TAX ON CROP
INDIGNATION SEEN WINNING
VOTES FOR FOE OF F. R.
EX-GOVERNOR PROMISES
MAKE V. S. GARDEN OF EDEN
BARNESVILLE, Ga. Aug. 12. It
will be the nastiest joke yet played
on the president. If the farm law
' which he whipped through e, balky
congress gives htm Gene Talmadge
Instead of Walter George us senator
from Georgia. And that Is precisely
what the farm law may do.
The AAA's stern new system of pro
duction quotas Is provoking some dis
content among farmers everywhere
to the thirty-five tobacco counties
of Georgia,. It Is about as popular as
King George's stamp tax. Henry wal
lace has fixed the Georgia tobacco
quota at 76,000.009 pounds, but
tactlessly bountiful nature has caus
ed the Georgia farms to produce be
tween 00,000.000 and 100.000.000
pounds. To sell their surplus mil
lions of pounds, the farmers must
pay a penalty tax of SO per cent or
the price. The tobacco farmers are
mad as hornets, and even the cotton
farmers, who are confused by the
whole quota mechanism, are on the
irritable side.
. Such a set-up Is pie for -Gene--Talmadge.
The brash. reeallused, Bible
belt demagogue Is detested by the
president only slightly less' than Wal
ter George, the chosen victim of the
White House purge. Talmadge's Jan
uary, 1936, convention of "grass
roots' Democrats, heavily financed by
liberty league money, was as sordid
an appeal to color and every, other
sort of prejudice as the country hi
lately seen. Although he used to be
the chosen darling of the power In
terests, even they have cast him off.
But the embattled agriculturists of
Georgia still love him like a brother.
, At the moment, he is. rampaging
through the farm counties, bellowing
that the quota system Is 'agin God
and nature." George voted for the
farm production quotas. The new
deal candidate, U. S. District Attorney
Lawrence Camp, cannot attack them.
And Gene Talmadge Is attracting
huge crowds. Prom a rank outsider
he has come up In the betting to a
point where leaders at both George
and Camp headquarters tell you he Is
a real threat.
As this Is written, the crowds are
gathering here In Barnesvtlle to hear
the president speak. Ho may destroy
George and Talmadge at one stroke,
leaving the field clear for h,is favor
ite, Camp. But then, again, he may
not.

Stay of Execution Is Granted
in Arson Trial for Ap-,
peal to Supreme Court
Convicted July 10
DALLAS. Ore., Aug. 13. (AP)
Albert Earl Rosser, 44-year-old baldlsh
former secretary of AFL teamsters in
Oregon, was sentenced today to 12
years In the penitentiary for arson In
connection with the burning of the
Salem box factory last November 20.
Circuit Judge Arlle G. Walker gave
Rosser the same septence as Al M.
Banks, former business agent for
Salem teamsters who paid $105 to
Ernest Carson. John Newlands and
Cecil Moore to fire the non-union
mill. The latter thsee nave pleaded
guilty but have not been sentenced.
Judge Walker granted a stay of
execution for 10 days at the request
of Defense Attorney George P. Van
derveer of Seattle, who said he would
appeal to the state supreme court.
The sentencing of Rosser, climax of
a statewide war on labor terrorism,
which sent more than 40 person to
-Jury or to Jail, came
shortly after noon after attorneys lor
both sides completed their arguments
on a defense motion for a new trial.
Judge Walker, denying the motion
for a new trial, said that whether
testimony of accomplices was corro
borated was a master for the Jury to
decide, adding that the question of
whether witnesses told the truth also
was a jury matter.
District Attorney Bruce Spauldlng
asked the court to sentence Rosser to
from ?2 to IB years. The maximum
term for arson Is 18 years.
Arguments on the new trial motion
began yesterday morning. Rosser was
convicted July 10 by a Jury of 10 men
and two women which returned the
verdict 25 hours after It had received
the case.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. The
first three years of the social secur
ity act cost the federal treasury !,
232.558.508 and brought In $887,046,
271 of revenue.
Roswell MaglU, acting secretary of
the treasury, made public today .the
statistics Involved In operation of the
law, the third anniversary of which
will be Sunday.
Federal expenditures for the glaan
tlo pension system have Included
$504,204,188 for grants to the states,
$600 000,000 for Investments tn the
old age reserve fund, and about $38,
000,000 for administration of the law.
Revenue fell far behind expendi
tures because amounts nearly equal
to the receipt are permanently ear
marked for the old age reserve fund,
leaving the state grants to be financ
ed out or ordinary treasury funds.
The statea received $350,500,010 for
old age awl stance, $45,810,189 for aid
to dependent children. $11,528,503
for blind pensions $8,538,383 tor ma

718.002 for aid to crippled children,
$3,735,082 for other child welfaro
services, $10,275,077 for public health
work, Including venereal disease con
trol, and $80,001,347 for administer
Ins state unemployment compensa
tion laws.
The controversial old age' reserve
fund scheduled to reach $47,000,000.
000 in 1080 was valued by the treas
ury at $1,136,430,408, but IU actual
Investments including reinvestment
of interest receipts, amount to only
$700.300,000., The difference is an op
proprlatlon credit for which the ac
tual cash will not be received by the
fund until the old age tuxes Intended
to fill the fund are collected.
