The next aove will take place in a courtrooa - several weeks fro ■ now. Arnall has appealed to the State Courts to oust Talaadge, and the ceae will be heard on 1■,•••••J February Fourteenth. Talaadge denies that the court has any jurisdiction, any power to decide who is Governor. However, he has retained lawyers to present his side of the argument - that he was elected by the State Legislature, which acted according to the State Constitution. The final ousting of Ellis Arnall froa the State Capitol today was accompanied by a bit of dialogue that illustrates the character of the . support of Tal ■ adge and his anti-negro doctrine of white supre ■ acy. It is rural and rustic in character, the backwoods, the Georgia swamps, the killJx-illJ bill billy country.

RADAR The story was told today, how la s t night the first use was made of radar ground control ap p roach to land planes a t an irport. Three were brou g ht in at Mitchel Field by radar operators on the ground. Fo~ty-six people were in those three planes, and fort7- six lives might have been lost - for landing condition• aee■ed hopele■■, i■poaaible~lli,e~~nae, ilti■ blinding fog. The fir~t-p~brougbt in was a tranaport of the Peruvian Airline -,f•enty aboard. The pilot, trying to get to the tield, said b7 radio that he waa lost in the fog; vi1ibilit7 zero, and he had onl7 a few ainute ~ of tuel aupply left. In charge ot the radar group on the field waa Lieutenant I.E. Barris and he ~~4 spotted the planu on the radar screen. ~plotted a cour s e and gave the pilot inatru~tions. Toda7 Lieutenant Barris said: •The tog waa so thick we couldn't see the plane as she passed overhead, coain g down for a landing.• The landing waa okay. BADAR - 2 The second to be brought in by radar was a small private plane, two people aboar d . To d ay ar ■y officials at Mitchel Field said the pilot was so excited by his radar landin g that he forgot to leave his naae. The third plane was an army transport, flying froa Geraan7,-twenty-four pn,ee&a\abo~rd. Having aade a stop at lew Foundland, the C-54 had got lost in the fog, and was runnin g short of gas. •That plane couldn't have stayed up auch longer•, sayd Lieutenant B a rria. Qod he a~ r : •1t was our ■ost •• successful landing.• The tog at the field a waa ao dense that visibility was or y fifty feet, yet the radar 1~ · a control approach, plotting a course on the radar 1c~een and giving the pilot 11 ing inatructiona, brought th• big transport in for a landing without the slightest diffic u lty. In view of the nuaber of air accidents that have been ahppening, this threefold demonstntion ot the radar conquest of fog is one of the most encouraging bits o f n ews we've had in a lon g time. fEAQE TRE I.lES The United N • tions has ju s t made public the texts of the Peace Treaties with Italy, Roaania, Bulg a ria, Hungary and Finland.

Tonight the Republic of France is seeking a Cabinet - an old story in French political affairs. The new Socialist President Vincent Auriol, today asked a fellow Socialist, Paul Raaadier, to fora a ministry and that's what Raaadier is trying to do tonight. He says it will be iapoesible to organize an all-Socialist Govern ■ ent, and · he want• to take in as ■ any of the other parties as possible. That, of course, includes the Co ■■ uniats - who fora the largest group in the Cha ■ ber of Deputies.

The Moscow newspaper puts up a ne w kind of argu ■ ent to support the Soviet• deaand that lorway grant bases on Spitzbergen - that is for an abrogation of the treaty ot Nineteen Twenty which prohibited the establishaent of any ■ ilitary bases on the ialand. Hitherto, Moscow bas argued the treaty was null and void, because several of the ■ any nations that signed SfIT~BERGEJ! - 2 I, it became en e mies of the Alli e s in W orl~lar T ,- wo. Izvestia today produces another line of ar g umnt, contending that the treaty forbidding the militarization of Spitzbergen is now out of date, because the league - - of !.,8tions was supposed to enforce it - and 1he !.eague of nations is no longer in ■xs existence. lhich would - see ■ to be rather like saying that - because a cop died, the law died also.
