The attempt of top United Nations officials to bring the Big
Pour (America, Britain, Prance and Russia) together to end the
dangerous Berlin crisis in the Ihterests of general peace has fail
ed.
It was a gallant effort on the part of Secretary General Trygve
Lie and Assembly President H. V. Evatt, but the result was fore
conclusion. a
gone Both sides stand pat—the Soviet Union on the one
hand and the democracies on the other.
Russia still insists on taking up the problems of all Germany in
connection with any negotiations about Berlin. The democracies
refuse to negotiate unless the Russian blockade of Western Berlin
first is lifted.

I Spacing High closes its
fOotba]B season Friday night
with Gainesville here.
The Wolfpack is considered
the underdog, especially since
Gainesville won ithe critical
game with LaGrange last
week—but Klmsey Stewart’s
boys may surprise a lot of peo
ple, Including the Gainesville
Bed Elephants, and win the
closing game. The Elephants
may have “shot the load” In
whipping LaGrange and they
may be “overconfident.’’
“Overconfidence" lost a big
league match only recently
when the underdog—'Truman
whipped the favorite—Dewey.
The Wolfpack has had a
much better season this year
than many thought they could
green squad answered the ctil!
for practice—there was a new
coach bn hand—and a lot of
the “wise ones” shot* their
heads and began talking about
“well have a good team in
1949”
But the green men lapped up
the instructions of Klmsey
Stewart and combined it with a
fighting spirit and the will to
win and to date they have won
five and lost four games. Even
If they should not win Friday
night their record will be 6 won,
5 lost, a .500 percent record.
Should they whip Gainesville,
and it would not surprise Good
Evening erne bit If they do, that
will give them 6 won, 4 lost rec
ord or .600 percent. & and .500
percent record, not to mention
a .600 percent record. Is a
mighty fine one for a “green
team."
There is one way that the
fans can show their apprecia
tion for the fighting Wolfpack
of 1948. That is to turn out
Friday night and pack the park.
This will not only be the last
home game of Spalding for the
year but will be the last home
game of the season here. Grif
fin winds up her season in Tho
maston next week.
Financing football is quite a
big affair even in his school
circles—and a record crowd
Friday night will help Spalding
finish the season without a de
fleit.

Union Here Plans To
Continue NegoHallon
Until Successful
ATLANTA -VP)— Hie strike at
the Griffin Dovedown Hosiery Mill
will continue until negotiations
successfully concluded, Dan
union attorney, said today.
Duke said the union's course
action has been planned but that
he was not at liberty to disclose its
nature.
A permanent restraining order
enjoining the union, Local 115 of
the American Federation of Hosiery
Workers, Independent, from inter
fering with anyone who wanted to
work in the Dovedown Hosiery Mill
was granted last Saturday by .Judge
Chester A. Byars of .the Griffin Su
perior Court.
The restraining order restricted
the number of pickets at the plant
to not more than five at one time
and set forth where those pickets
could not go.

A Will Cost More
CHICAGO — VP) — Turkeys will
cost more this year than last-if

It seems there’s a shortage-more
than 10 percent leper turkeys to go
’round this holiday season than in
1947. That's one reason prices arei
higher.

And why won’t either party give ground? The answer to that has
been stated in this column time and again, but its worth repeating
in view of the development. Fundamentally it is this:
We are not dealing with a diplomatic situation. It is a state of
war—a cold war, to be sure, but nevertheless a red war of aggres
sion.
Both sides have adopted strategic positions which they consider
vital In this cold war. To give ground would be to invite defeat.
The argument about Germany is only part of the war of the isms,
but it is a vital part of the conflict In the European theatre. Be
fore the late World War Germany was the economic and military
keystone of continental Europe. Potentially ft still is the keystone,
despite the ravages of war.
Russia is placing for control of the entire Reich, which would
give Moscow a mighty lever with which to pry loose Western Europe
New Governor Starts
First Full Day As
Chief Executive
ATLANTA —Vfp— Gevemor
man Talmadge planned a further
turnover among state officials to
day as he moved into his first
day of executive power.
And Capitol talk was that the
new administration might move
quickly to drop a court suit halting
$17,000,000 in highway construction
let by former Governor M. E
Thompson’s regime.
The court action, brought by Tal
madge friends, names the old ad
ministration as defendants. Re
ports were the action would be dH

Talmadge said he would install A

Of Talbotton as banking superin
Then, with Attorney General Eu
gene Cooks’ approval, Talmadge
planned to give the oath to two as
sistant attorney^ general — Johr
Houston of Lawrenceville and T. V
Williams of Douglas.
He also planed to seat some, per
haps all, members of a new State
Highway Commission.
The highway suit brands the
Thompson contracts as illegal be
cause they were signed in the last
90 days of the former governor’s
term. Talmadge and Jim Gillis, his
new highway director, were expect
ed to apporve about $11,000,000 In
federal-aid projects halted tyy the
action.
But there was doubt whether th4f
would agree to continue with a mil
lion-dollar bridge and other access
roads to Jekyll Island, the state
park which Talmadge opposed.
Many projects approved by
Thompscn’s administration
state funds only were expected to
be dropped. Also facing a possible
permanent halt are contracts “ne
gotiated” by the Thompson
istration without competitive bid

for communism, flat's why the Muscovites won’t negotiate the
Berlin crisis without including the whole country. The Berlin
blockade with its terrible threat of starvation for millions of civil
ians is'too powerful a weapon for the Reds to abandon.
The democracies, on the other hand, know that if they make
concessions while that murderous blockade is still in operation,
they will weaken their position dangerously. Prom harsh past
experience they know that Moscow will take advantage of any
weakness and that they thus would lay themselves liable to lose all
Germany to red domination.
You see, this cold war is merely an Intensification of the cold
war which Moscow declared against the world when the bolshevlst
