Sen. Morton Says
‘Total Victory’
Means Holocaust
By WILLIAM THEIS
United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPI) —Sen.
Thruston B. Morton warned
today that war fever was
mounting in America because
President Johnson had failed to
make it clear that total military
victory in Vietnam would mean
“total world holocaust.”
The former Republican na
tional chairman called on
Johnson to “defuse” what he
said could become a massive
“stab-in-the-back” reaction by
the U.S. public to any negotiat
ed peace in Vietnam.
“If the polls are right, if
nearly half of the American
people believe that a total
military victory in Vietnam is
possible and vital to our
national interest, then there is
going to be hell to pay if we
settle for anything less,” the
Kentucky senator said.
Morton’s sharply critical
views, given in a speech
prepared for Senate delivery,
were calculated to set off
another round of Vietnam policy
debate.
His speech came as Secretary
of State Dean Rusk was
scheduled to give the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee a
private policy report on Viet
nam and other world trouble
spots.
Morton’s view of the situation
was at odds with that expressed
by a high State Department
official Monday at a background
briefing for several hundred
editors and broadcasters.
The official, who could not be

Rights Worker
Indicted For
Refusing Oath
ATLANTA (UPD—Civil rights
worker Cleveland Sellers was
free on SI,OOO bond today fol
lowing his indictment Monday
by a federal grand jury for re
fusing to be inducted into the
Army.
Sellers, a field worker for the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee, was charged with
violating the Selective Service
Act.
The 23-year-old Negro on May
1 refused to step forward and
take the oath at the Atlanta in
duction center. He claimed Ne.
groes were excluded from draft
boards in his home state of
South Carolina and that he was
called out of turn because of
his civil rights activities.
Sellers has brought suit in
federal court to prevent his in
duction. The case is pending be
fore the sth U. S. Circuit Court
of Appeals.
An SNCC spokesman said Sel
lers was the 16th member of
the organization to be called for
induction since it announced its
opposition to the Vietnam war.
SNCC charged the Inductions
were “part of a continuing ef
fort of a racist, hysterical John
son administration to stifle
black opposition and dissent to
the murder and burning of
peasants in Vietnam and his
double cross of black people in
the U. S.”

3 Georgians
Die In Viet
Fighting
WASHINGTON (UPl)—The
Defense Department Monday
released the names of 139 U. S.
servicemen killed in Vietnam,
including three Georgians.
The Georgians were identified
as Army Sgt. Ivey M. McCar
roll, Jr., husband of
Mrs. Leona P. McCarroll of Co
lumbus; Army Pfc. Roland E.
Rush, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl
E. Rush of Kensington, and
Army Pfc. Calvin L. Taylor,
son of Mr. and Mrs. George E.
Taylor of Macon.
In addition, the listing of
Army Pfc. Roger D. Thomp
son, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wal
ter D. Thompson of Fairburn,
was changed from missing to
dead.
an enormous amount of busi
ness in a large city, believes
Bill Bartholomay, president of
the Atlanta Braves and of the
new Atlanta Chiefs’ soccer team.
Bartholomay estimates that,
in their brief career in Atlanta
since moving from Milwaukee,
the Braves' baseball team has
generated about S3O million a
year for Atlanta business. He
thinks that in their first season,
the Atlanta Falcons of the Na
tional Football League generat
ed at least sl6 million in busi
ness for the city.
Must Generate Interest
The building ot a modern new
stadium by the city brought
these new enterprises and the
soccer club to Atlanta. Bartho
lomay concludes from this that
the building of a good stadium
is a worhwhile enterprise for
a cijiy. “Os course, building a
stadium isn’t enough — you
have to land the sports
franchises and generate the in
terest to keep them.”
Bartholomay, who inherited
some money and made a great
deal in the life insurance and
food catering business, now de
votes most of his time to pro
fessional sports and believes the
business is going to continue to
expand.
He is not one of those pessi
mists who thinks baseball has
seen its best days.
“As a business, baseball has
gone through some painful ad
justments, but I think the major
league game has a tremendous
future,” he said, "there will be
more expansion and probably
division of the two present
leagues into three. Mexico City
is a natural for a major league
franchise. So Is Havana if
friendly relations can be re
stored between the United States
and Cuba. Latin America is pro
ducing about 25 per cent of our
players now.”
Bartholomay also thinks the
remarkable growth of profession
al football will keep right on.
Cites Pool Betting
As for soccer, the big ques
tion, he said, is whether Amer
icans will accept soccer with
out the pool betting that ac
companies the game in Britain
and so many other countries'
where soccer is the game.
“We never will have pool bet
ting or any other form of gamb
ling on soccer in the United
States,” he said, “we have to
sell the game on its merits here,
and I think the Atlanta club is
the one that will tell the story
because Atlanta really is virgin
territory for soccer. Except for
Emory University and one or
two other college teams, soccer
was totally unknown in the At
lanta area until the pro game
was introduced, and pro soccer
did get off to a pretty good
start in Atlanta.”
Soccer has a number
of pluses going for it, Bartholo
may believes.
“It is a highly telegenic game
for one thing, ft also has high
empathy, almost anybody can
