IN RUN-OFF RACE

Texas Democrats, Georgia Republicans Meet in

Conventions.

By UNITED PRESS Florida voters went to the polls in a run-off primary today to nominate a Democratic gubernatorial candidate as Texas Democrats and Georgia Republicans met in state conventions, Millard Caldwell, Tallahassee attorney, and Lex Green, a veteran campaigner, were the opposing candidates in'the run-off. Less than 3000 votes separated them in the first primary three weeks ago, but neither received a majority of the ballots cast. Democratic nomination in Florida is tantamount to election. Democrats opened a state convention at Austin, Tex. with a battle predicted between anti- and pro-Roosevelt forces over the choice of a temporary chairman. Former Governor Dan Moody was recommended at a meeting of the state executive committee yesterday. No other name was presented, but proRoosevelt forces said they would back former Governor James V. Allred. The convention was to name delegates to the national nominating convention.

Meet at Atlanta

Georgia Republicans met at AtJanta to select seven of the state's 14 national convention delegates. Seven district delegates to the Chicago convention were chosen earlier, and three district representatives

Mr. Blue and Mayor Tyndall and his police department that all possjbility of a reconciliation is gore, Prosecutor Blue naturally would like to step from a $6000-a-year job job to a $10,000-a-year job for six years; the organization would not lose one jota of control by supplanting Mr. Blue with Deputy Prosecutor Leo T. Brown, a Bradford henchman, and maybe, just maybe, a new face in the prosecutor’s office would help some. As it is now, the reasoning goes on, only the Democrats are profiting from such debacles as the White Swan gambling case where only the informer was found guilty, the men he accused all being acquitted. There is no doubt that with Marion county having the largest number of delegates to the state convention it can demand and get a place on the state ticket for Mr. Blue.

WASHINGTON, May 23 (U. P).

*|—The people of Icland today completed a referendum on severence

of the last remaining tie which has bound that tiny North Atlantic island to Denmark for 563 years. Iceland, which celebrated the 1000th anniversary of its parliament in 1930, has been a sovereign state since 1918, but united with Denmark through a common king, Christian X of Denmark. The referendum will formally dissolve that union and on June 17 Iceland plans to proclaim itself a free and indedent republic, eile officials here said the result of the referendum, held May 20-23, were inevitable, all political parties and the government supporting the plan to establish a republic. , y ‘Proud’ Day in History The event has been little noted in the American press, but Thor Thors, Icelandic minister to the United States, believes that it should be long remembered as a proud day in the history of both Iceland and the United States. American soldiers have occupied Iceland since July, 1941. . “Americans can be proud of the generous and friendly treatment offered to Iceland,” Thors said in an interview. “You certainly had the power to oppress a small nation, but you have used your power to assist it in its search for complete freedom, and your military authorities in Iceland witness with sympathy and encouragement our victory in this respect. “After seven centuries of struggle for complete independence we have finally achieved our goal. It is interesting that we can acquire our complete independence while enjoying the friendly presence of American soldiers. It couldn't have happened if the soldiers had been German.” The Danes, still under the heel of the Nazis, feel differently about Iceland's declaration of independence. More in sorrow than anger, they wish that the Icelanders had waited until after the war so that the centuries-long union could have been dissolved by bilateral

Railways Say Evidence Does Not Justify a Reduct..n.

Dismissal of the fare reduction jcase against Indianapolis Railways, (Inc, was asked in a motion filed {by the utility with the state public service commission today.

Injuring Gardens

COMPLAINTS OF victory gar-

In an order of the day, the chief instructed beat and squad car officers to note the location of stray dogs and report these observations to the city pound. Dog owners were requested by the chief to keep their pets securely interned during the spring growing season. Unattended dogs, whether licensed or unlicensed, will be impounded immediately, the order stated. Victory garden depredations by dogs who uproot, trample and otherwise destroy vegetable shoots are especially evident in
