Georgia Governor Battle Looms as Assembly Opens
In Atlanta on January 13 the Georgia General Assembly convened to elect presiding officers and prepare for business as it weighs who will become governor. Lieut. Governor-elect M E Thompson and Herman Talmadge claim legislative majorities for their succession plans, with a possible special election debated by some junior representatives. The governor will likely be chosen in a joint session after canvassing the returns, with Thompson promising to canvass and declare Eugene Talmadge elected and then take acting duties until a direct vote next year. Governor Ellis Arnal resigned, effective immediately. Talmadge claims broad support across the legislature to elect the governor from the top vote-getters under the constitution.

The CIO filed to enter the John L. Lewis coal strike contempt case before the Supreme Court, aiming to challenge the federal court restraining order. Lewis faced fines totaling 3.54 million dollars for contempt after defying the order, which he argued overstepped federal labor law limits.
