Enraged Georgia Citizens Say
Both Governors Used Bribery
Group Demands Grand Jury Investigations;
State Bogging Down in Financial Troubles
Atlanta, Jan. 25 (UP) The possibility of new legal compli
cations in the Georgia governorship tangle was raised tonight by
a group of aroused citizens. The group, which calls itself just
that, the Aroused Citizens of Georgia, is demanding a grand jury
investigation. It charges that both 1
sides, the factions led by both Melvin
Thompson and Herman Talmadge,
tried to bribe members of the general
assembly at the time the assembly
elected a governor.
The organization is headed by a
civic official, Mayor Harvey Kennedy
of Barresville, Ga.
Shamed and Humiliated
Says Kennedy: "The people of
Georgia are shamed and humiliated
over the charges made by members of
the general assembly that bribes were
offered by both sides."
The demand for an investigation
brought differing reactions from the
contesting governors. Thompson says
he'd welcome such an investigation.
Says he: "The public is entitled to
know about it it should be either
proved or disproved." Talmadge, how
ever, had no comment to make.
State Bogging
Meanwhile, the state is bogging
down in financial troubles.
It faces a partial financial break

By University's Correspondence Courses
By Raney Stanford
No Indian chief is listed, but
just about every other occupa
tion mentioned in the familiar
nursery rhyme Is engaged in by
the 840 people who took over
1,000 correspondence courses through
the Extension division last year.
Farmers, merchants, industrial work
ers, engineers, scientists, even an
aerologist at Operations Crossroads
and a test pilot used their spare time
to take one or more of the 150 sub
jects given by the University through
the mails.
Mary L. Cobb, head of the Bureau
of Correspondence Instruction, in a
report surveying the Bureau's work took a course in children's literature

states, and seven foreign countries wife signed up for a course in short
were represented in the roster of stu
dents. Credit Toward Degree
The majority of the mail-order col
legians took courses to get credit to
ward a college degree,, but many were
teachers who were becoming- quali
fied for teaching certificates. And still
others took work just for the sake of
learning. A wife of an American of
ficer, stationed in Austria, finished
one of her courses by mail after she
had dropped out of school to join her
husband. A manager of a book shop

Caldwell cup, given by the. Federation
of Women's Clubs of North Carolina,
for one of her stories.
Difficulties of all sorts were experi
enced by .students in : squeezing :their
scholastic work into whatever free
moments they could find. A public
accountant wrote the bureau: "The
conditions under which I have been
(and shall continue, I imagine) study
ing have been annoying. I have four
hours a day to read (while on the
train) but only a few a week for writ
ing. I travel 125 miles a day back and
forth to work in New York and don't
get home until after 8 at night giv
ing me little time to myself, seeing as
how I get up at 5:30. I've heard a
rumor there is a housing shortage
as if I didn't know."
Homework on a Transport
A serviceman in the Navy told of
the hardships involved in completing
assignments aboard a rolling, tossing
troop transport in the middle of the
Pacific ocean.
No Great Decline
In concluding and summing up her
report, Miss Cobb says: "When col
leges are full, as at present, we can- j
not expect as large an enrollment of
correspondence students as otherwise,
but we find that there will not be a
great decline during the coming year,
for there will still be many persons
unable to attend college and desiring
to study."
