An op- decided later. time for regular meetings will be Atlanta, Feb. 25. — The name of Sen. Richard Russell (D-Ga.) was advanced again today by Georgia Democrats as the South’s candidate lor President. A resolution^trging Russell to per- n.it his name to be brought before the Democratic National convention was okayed unanimously by the 120- member State Executive Committee. Russell, who got 263 votes in the 1948 Democratic national conven tion, may be called on by anti-Tru man Southerners to carry their stan- oard in the 1952 convention. The 1948 convention vote for Russell stemmed from the ‘‘civil rights” is sue. Gov. Herman Talmadge came out strongly for Russell a few weeks ago and later the Georgia Legislature en dorsed him for the Democratic Pres idential nomination. The resolution today was submit ted by Charles Bloch of Macon, the same man who put Russell’s name before the national convention in 1948. Talmadge told the Committee he had discussed the matter with Rus sell but was not at liberty to quote him. He added, “knowing Sen. Rus sell as I do, 1 don’t believe he will leave the South without a voice and Without leadership.” So far, and despite all the talk, Russell has kept quiet on the sub ject of the Presidency. He has said he didn’t believe a Southerner could be elected. Political dopesters here figure he is being boosted as vice-president on the ticket if the Presidential candi date isn’t Mr. Truman. A special Committee of the Exec utive Committee will leave here Wednesday night to confer with Rus sel in Washington at 10:30 a. m. Thursday. especially for them. A definite Washington, when advised of Dr. Fred E. Holcombe OPTOMETRIST Offices at 200 South Broad St. Phone 65& Office Hours 9:00 to 5:30 According to the current issue of The Joanna Way mogazine. Champ Clark Johnson, card tender, second shift, with Joanna Cotton Mills, will be 40 years of age this month, and he has had only nine birthdays. Having the unique distinction of , being born on February 29, Mr. Johnson, like any other red-blooded : youngster, is looking forward to his 10th birthday FYiday, which! this Leap Year makes possible for | him. Asked what it is like to have your birthday fall on February 29, | Mr. Johnson stated that he "had never thought anything about it I reckon it keeps a fellow younger in a way. At least, I don’t feel like I’m quite as old as the average for ty-year old man.” The problem of when to observe his birthdays on years other than Leap Year has not concerned Champ too. much. “Generally, my folks take a little notice of it on the last day of February or the first day in March, whichever suits best at the time. There’s never a whdleTot"of Tiiss over myTnrihday anyway.” In addition to the advantage of not having to count birthdays as often as most folks, Mr. Johnson has an unusual and distinguished name, "Champ Clark”—not named for' a renowned prize fighter or cigar, as you ipight have guessed r but for a great public figure of yes* teryear. When the subject of this article made his appearance into this world on February 29, 19-12, the national political pot was seething, with Senator Champ Clark, of Mis souri. having the • upper hand for the Democratic 'nomination for president of the United States. Os car Underwood and Woodrow Wil son were lesser contenders. As it developed, Wilson eventually won the nomination and the presiden cy—but back to our storv. Dr. Thomas H. Pope of Newber ry, the officiating doctor at the time of young Johnson’s arrival on this worldly scene, asked to name the newcomer, let his mind w*andor into the political field and'suggest ed that the young fellow be called ‘‘Champ Clark.” Champ, the sonvof Mr and Mrs. George Johnson, has — wqrked at Joanna twelve years. His wife is the former Miss Irene‘Lolhs. They have three children, Linda, Sara, and Betty. RUBBER BANDS —The small handy little items needed in any office. In one-fourth or one pound boxes.
