Mr. Kern took particular excep[tion to a senate measure which {would extend the. war emergency act by whicls women are permitted to work “around the clock.” The emergency. act declared a. ‘moratorium on ‘the state law prohibiting women from working in {factories between 12 midnight and 6 a. m. The bill was’ introduced by Senator Paul W. Kerr (R. Elkhart). A Backward Step “Such a bill means’ a definite backward step,” Mr, Kern said. “It is almost universally accepted that working women in factories in small hours of the morning is detrimental both to health and public morals, “The approach to this problem is wrong in that it was tolerated in the first place only because of the
any need for women to work nights to speed up war production.” Senator Kern, author of ‘the bill, defended the proposal with the statement that “because of continuing -high prices, many women

ATLANTA, Ga. Jan. 20 (U, P.).— Herman Talmadge held the executive offices today against the demands of Lt. Gov. M. E. Thompson. Mr. Talmadge was denousiced on the floor of the Georgia house as thaving no more than “squatter’s {rights” on the office of governor. These developments occurred in rapid fire order in the battle for the Georgia governorship: ONE: Mr. Thompson went to Mr. Talmadge’s office and demanded (that he vacate. Mr, Talmadge re- ' plied that he was governor and had every intention of remaining so. TWO: Attorney General Eugene Cook issued a statement recognizing | Mr, Thompson as the legitimate governor. Mr. Cook announced that | Suit. to oust Mr. Talmadge from office would be carried on in Mr, Thompson's name, The suit origo Inally had been filed in behalf of | former Governor Ellis Arnall. : Mr. Thompson an{nounced that he would serve as acting governor from his own offices jin the capitol.

Hundreds of students from five colleges and universities in the Atlanta drea planned a mass meeting at the capitol tomorrow to protest Mr. Talmadge's seizure of the governorship. The legislature, which had elected Mr. Talmadge governor last week, convened after a week-end recess. A motion was made to invite Mr, Talmadge to address the house. Rep. Aidy Durden, Albany, Ga. denounced the motion, “Mr. Talmadge has no more than squatter's rights on the governor's office,” ‘Rep. Durden said. - “Not a man here can say he is legal gov-
