But this does not mean that all the roads are now clear of ice or of slick spots. “My advice to motorists is still to drive very carefully and at slow speeds and to use tire chains if pos sible, since there are still many icy spots on the roads which the scrap ing did not remove,” Waynick said. ‘‘And while some of these places are melting off during the day, they freeze up again at night and become slicker than ever.

Talmadge to Provide Fund For Georgia Governor Assumes Financial Dictator ship of State Start ing Tomorrow'. Atlanta, Ga„ Dec. 31 (AP)—On the eve of assuming financial dictatorship of Georgia, Governor Eugene Tal madge said today “there’ll be plenty of money to run the State next ye ( ar.” but persisted in his refusal to tell how he will handle the situation. The 1935 legislature failed to pass an appropriation bill for 1936-37. Tal madge, who nas gained attention by his attacks on the New Deal, refused to call an extra session, and said the State would run on as usual. Possibility of a “tax strike” against unchecked gubernatorial control .of finances already has arisen. Some Talmadge opponents cite State revenue collections for the first 20 days of December as evidence of a drying up of tax payments. In this period, slightly ov<r $700,000 was col lected, while during the same days of 1934 about $2,100,000 came in. Talmadge’s critics have charged that ho maneuvered, jlcfeat of the appropriations bill in the legisTalu|fe early this year so as to grasp control of the State government. Adminis trative leaders place the blame on thes legislature itself. rSmys Charge Government With “High-Handed Attempt” To Thwart Rights.
