Georgians Extend Lead in War Bond Drive and Veep Debate
Georgia delegates to the national Democratic convention leave Atlanta after Farley and Hennegan press conferences yield no decisive news on Wallace.

Local firms and companies contribute sizable amounts to the bond effort alongside others totaling $15,000 in various bond purchases.
