GEORGIA IS BEING LINED UP
Atlanta. Three "R's" Roosevelt,
Russell and Rivers were seen by
political observers here as possible
obstacles to the political ambitions of
Governor Talmadge of Georgia, bit
ter critic of the new deal. The situ
ation drew attention with the an
nouncement that President Roosevelt
plans to speak in Atlanta Thanks
giving week, the exact date to be an
nounced later. Forecasters in Geor
gia say that if Talmadge enters the
presidential preferential primary in
this state he would find President
Roosevelt already lined up in the
race for Georgia delegates to the next
national convention. Should the gov
ernor decide to run for the U. S. sen
ate, his opponent would be Richard
B. Russell, jr., the incumbent. And if
the governor seeks another term in
his own office he would contest E. D.
Rivers, speaker of the Georgia house.
Russell and Rivers, strong support
ers of the president, issued state
ments expressing their delight at Mr.
Roosevelt's forthcoming visit.

Congressman
Luckey Honored
by Friends
Gathering at Lincoln Pays Honor to
Distinguished Representative
from 1st District.
Congressman and Mrs. Henry C.
Luckey were welcomed home to Ne
braska Wednesday night by 250
neighbors, other friends and constit
uents who honored them at a din
ner at the Lincoln hotel at Lincoln
and heard an account of Represen
tative Luckey's activities in what he
described as "one of the most epoch
making congressional sessions in his
tory." In support of his statement, the
speaker pointed to such measures as
the social security act, the neutral
ity act, public utility act of 1935,
Tennessee valley act, farm mortgage
and home mortgage relief acts, work
relief bill, and amendments to the
AAA. Ir. Luckey said he supported
all of these measures.
"I believe the AAA to be the best
program yet offered to assist the Am
erican farmer but a readjustment of
our cotton program is imperative if
we are to regain our world markets
soon," he said.
Striking out against what he called
"excessive expenditures." for the
army, navy, Mr. Luckey said that
while he favored an adequate defense,
the United States and other coun
tries are engaging in an armament
race which cannot help but lead to
catastrophe. He voted against bills
to Increase army and navy strength.
"I opposed the ship subsidy bill
which I believe to be one of the big
gest rackets carried on in the past
twenty years. I hope this raid on the
treasury will stop," Congressman
Luckey told his audience.
He voted against the extension of
the NRA after a questionnaire sent
to business men and others in this
district revealed the measure was un
enforceable. The provision establish
ing the potato license and processing
taxes was likewise opposed.
Mr. Luckey spoke of his own forty
hour postal employes law which was
passed by congress and another bill
he sponsored which would have re
moved the postofflce from politics.
As for the constitution, the speak
er said on that score he could see
little issue and that the so-called
challenge of the supreme court is an
"illusory one." No member of con
gress would knowingly vote for a
bill which he knew to be unconstitu
tional, he declared. :
J. E. Lawrence introduced the
speaker. Representatives McLaugh
lin and Binderup were unable to at
tend. Mayor and Mrs. Bryai were
guests of honor at the affair which
was arranged by a committee com
posed of the eleven democratic coun
ty chairmen . in the first district.
