Gillam and Chief of Police Herbert Jenkins was appoint ed two weeks ago.

The decision followed a complete investigation of all possible modes of transportation. Jenkins said applications for jitney permits will begin at coon today at the police station. He pomted out all applications will be thoroughly screened and only desirable applicants will be approved. Anyone desiring to operate a jitney may make application. The move followed a decision by Assistant City Attorney J.

Charlie Murphy which ruled all unlicensed cars either charging or Union Leader Jesse Walton has called a special meeting of all striking transit workers. Although he 'requested the operators to meet at Fulton High School on Washington Street at midnight tomorrow. Walton said the meeting "is strictly a family get-together. I haven't met with the boys for over a week and we have a fe icthinfifs to talk over." accepting fares or donations are operated illegally. According to City Code regulations, jitneys or jitneybuses are defined as "motor-buses" and are governed by the same regulations.

"All applicants must be finger printed and Investigated," Jenkins remarked, "and if approved they may terminate their permit whenever they wish." He said all permits will be automatically terminated when the strike is over. The Mayor and City Council also approved a 10-cent fare charge for litney operators but added their permits will be lifted II any cases oi over-cnarging or misconduct are reported.

JOHN With one month to go, the emergency special taxes are falling approximately $8,000,000 short of the anticipated $20,000,000 mark for financing Gov.

Talmadge's ex panded services. This was shown yesterday when State Revenue Commissioner Charlie Redwine reported collec tions forthe first 11 months of this fiscal year are running $12, 582,350 ahead of the same period year ago before the taxes were increased. It is unlikely, observers say, that the final month's revenue will shove the total increase to more than $14,000,000. State Auditor B. E.

Thrasher, assistant director of the budg et, said. the net increase must be approximately $14,000,000 or the expanded services will have to be reduced during the final month. Reason: The $6,000,000 surplus which the State had at the begin ning of the program last August will be spent piecing out the 000,000 to the $20,000,000 figure, and the State will be broke in sp far as financing extra services is concerned. failure of the corporation in come tax to pay off was consider ed most significant When the rate was hiked by 1 percent by the Legislature last July, it was expected to produce an additional $3,000,000. Instead, for the first 11 months it is nearly $3,000,000 below last year's collections or $6,000,000 below anticipations.

Despite the $I-a-gallon tax in crease, Georgia's liquor tax collec tions are less this fiscal year than a year ago. Collections for the first 11 months are $195,606 lower than in the previous period.

UCCI 111 VUl 1L Willing Horse Hard-Ridden! 7 It so happened I was deep in Winston Churchill's "The Grand Alliance" when I read the news of Gen.

Wa-veil's death in London. On page 344, dealing with events of 1941. Churchill writes: "At home we had the feeling that Wavell was a tired man. It might be said that we had ridden the horse to a standstill. The extraordinary convergence of five or six different theaters, with their ups and downs, especially downs, upon a single Commander-in-Chief constitute a strain to which few soldiers have subjected.

Above all there hung the beating in of the desert flank by Rommel we got the impression he had been tremendously affected by this breach of his desert flank. I seem to recall Eden saying that Vavell had 'aged ten years in a single This was in early June, 1941 nine short years ago. Rommel, his ancient and victorious enemy, is long since dead by his own hand, detected in the plot against Hitler, cf whose bloodlust and arrogant ego he, at last, had sickened, and allowed a choice of suicide or the firing squad. Winston Churchill remains to write magnificently of the tragic times and to pay merited tribute to the general. Gen.

Wavell had five happy years in which to read poetry and write it. He patiently selected his own anthology of British verse and lived to see it published, titled "Other Men's Flowers." Desert Rats Rommel's later successes overshadowed him. But this plain man, who hid beneath the austere armor of the professional soldier the warmth of poetry, love cf music and the singing word, was perhaps greater in the desert than either Rommel or Montgomery, though the fame of the Afrika Korps and of British troops which drove the Germans from North Africa, overshadows him. They, the German and the Briton, had all they needed of men and fire power when they began their drives. Wavell did not.

He had little on which to go when he gave to Britain her first land victories. He began a counter offensive in late 1940 which extended into 1941. Ray of Light France had fallen. The Balkans were lost. Greece had been abandoned with great losses.

Gloom circled the world. Wavell began 130 miles inside Egypt. He did not halt until he had driven the Italian troops 500 miles in 60 days, destroying their entire striking force, capturing 140,000 prisoners and great booty. Nathan Bedford Forrest would liked him. He would have unrWstrtod.

too. Wavell used the stratagem of continually deploy- in it his forces (one of Forrest tricks), to present an appearance of great force. He placed dummy mn alon with his scant store of real ones. The Germans were forced to hnrrv to North Africa to rescue the Italians. Rommel was given the iob.

He arrogantly pushed the remaining Italian com- i land, saying no Nazi general would play second fiddle, and, enormously supplied, began his masterful offensive which was to bring to an abrupt halt the ascendency of Wavell. Kindly Man In 1943 I was invited to a small dinner in London, given by a literary club of ten. Young William Astor presided and he had as the guest of honor Gen. Wavell. I was enormous1 curious about him and pleasantly pleased all through dinner.

At first glance he seemed coldly aloof. He wore a monocle, the only Brit I had seen so adorned save as caricatured on the stage. (I was made ashamed when I learned he wore It because he had lost an eye at Ypres in the first World War and was sensitive aooui iui swu saw, too, ness. his austerity was shy- Indian Soldiers He talked that evening of the desert campaign and of his beloved Desert Rats." He spoke with great affection of Indian troops, for which he had a deep resoect and admiration. Some of the poetry in the man tame out as he talked, with exquisite simplicity and modest dignity, of the Indian troops, the land, their Customs and of the headlong rush across the long miles of desert with the pride of Mussolini in full flight before him.

I will always recall that evening in London when Wavell talked and so lost himself in his atory that he put away his monocle and forgot all about his sunk- niam glad he had five years to read and write poetry poetry hich was warm and full of sua and flowers. -7 i rtey DIEHL struck the first blow toward jitney service.

Gold was arrested May 23 after: a painstaking eignt-month search by the FBI, who snared him from among 1,200 suspects as one oi thosse who took stolen atomic data from the British traitor, Dr. Klaus Fuchs, for relay to Russia. Fuchs is now being questioned by FBI agents in a London prison, where he is serving a 14-year sentence for atomic espionage. Gold is the first American to face the death penalty for atomic spying. The 39-year-old bachelor was brought to Judge McGranery's chambers from Holesburg prison, where he is being held under 5100,000 bond.

Seven guards es-l corted him and another prisoner, convicted murderer, to the Fed-! eral Court Building. Gold was very pale and ap peared frightened.

The threat, he added in substance was of a different kind the ponderous, ever-present weight of the Russians which would be most dangerous if the West allowed itself to become weak.
