Governor
ATLANTA, i/P) — Herman Tal

Georgia’s capitol today and forced
Ellie Arnall to move to a down-1
town office building.
Arnall, who has been governor
for the past four years and claims
he is still the state’s legal execu

naming of Talmadge, announced
his intention to establish the Ar

brief encounter with a Talmadge

The Talmadge lieutenant, State
I Rep. Jimmy Dykes, earlier had

the executive chambers.
Arnall strode up to Rep. Dykes’
desk and said “Jimmie, I’m gover

Dykes interupted to say “Ellis
Arnall, you remind me of a hog.
You got your head in the trough
and you just can’t stop.”
Arnall asked “Have you taken
my office?”
Dykes replied “I have, I’m re

have no more right to be governor

Arnall retorted “Well, let’s see.”
Then, turning to the press, and
speaking into a radio microphone,
Arnall said “To the people of
Georgie—as governor of Georgia,
I have been denied access to the
j state capitol building. ...”

Arnall continued:
"... today, denied access to

capitol. In order not to discredit
the people of Georgia and to cre

Stars In Our Flag
Not Likely To Alter

WASHINGTON, f/p) — Don’t
look for any sudden changes in
our style of scattering stars
through the flag’s field of blue.
We limped along more than 100
years without any style at all, ex

made it since 1912 on nothing but
a Presidential order.

He was interrupted repeatedly
by cheers from the surrounding

The library found that:
1. The present arrangement of
the stars “is not prescribed by

2. In 1818, Congress passed a
law specifying that as new states,
joined the Union, "one star be
added to the union of the flag.”
