Mark Etheridge, Former
Macon Editor, May Get
Foreign Post Place
Washington, May 12—President
Truman was reported at the Capi
tol Monday to be considering Don
ald M. Nelson, R. M. LaFollette or
Mark F. Ethridge, among others,to
) ( ^ administer the $400,000,000 aid
program for Greece and Turkey.
But some senators of both par
ties said they already had turned
thumbs down on Ethridge and
there was some doubt whether he
would accept the post even if Mr.
Truman formally tendered it.
Nelson was former chairman of
the WPB and served as the late
President Roosevelt’s special rep-
* I * resentative in China.
LaFollette, former Progressive
Party senator from Wisconsin who
sought the Republican nomination
last year, blamed his defeat in the
primary in part on the opposition
of Communists within labor groups
which previously had supported
, him.
Ethridge, Louisville publisher,
was an American representative on
the United Nations commission in
vestigating Greek border disturb
ances. There were indications that
State Department officials would
like to have Ethridge, who is fa
miliar with the situation in Greece
* carry on as overall director of the
program.
The bill was passed by the sen
ate calls for senate confirmation of
the administrator. Interested Re
publicans said they regard Eth
ridge as a member of the “New
Deal’ wing of the Democratic par
ty and forecast opposition if his ap
pointment were made.
Mr. Ethridge was for a number
of years editor of the Macon Tele

State's Great Seal
Was Safe-Fortson
Sat On It For Week
Atlanta, May 10—Here is the
story of a crippled man, a wheel
chair, and the Great Seal of Geor
gia:
Four months ago, rival governors
challenged one another in Georgia.
Ben Fortson, secretary of state,
sent word to both claimants that
no one would have access to the
seal until the Supreme Court de
cided their dispute.
But Fortson feared lest he be
forced to yield it to someone of
doubtful authority. He took the
great seal from its vault and hid
it in the cushion of his wheel
chair.
Day and night, for more than
two weeks, Fortson kept the great
seal in his personal possession. No
one knew he was sitting on the
Great Seal of Georgia.
Finally when the furor subsided
he returned it to its vault.
"Confidential,” Fortson chuckled,
“it was darned uncomfortable.”
Sugar Stamp Good June 1
Washington, May 13—The gov
ernment today moved up the cash
in date on the next sugar ration
stamp from July 1 to June 1, but
said it must last for 5 months.
The stamp, Spare No. 12, will be
good for 10 pounds.
' An Agricultural Department an
nouncement said it must last until
Oct. 31, when rationing and price
controls expire unless extended by
Congress.
Today’s action was taken, the de
partment said, to speed sugar into
consumer channels before the
heavy movement of wheat and
other commodities this summer
burdens transportation facilities.
Supplies from a big Cuban crop
are piling up in Eastern refinery
centers ot create a “temporary
surplus,” partly because consum
ers have been slow to cash in
Spare Stamp No. 11 which became
valid April 1 for 10 pounds.
The action came as many ni the
sugar industry predicted either an
end of rationing Before Oct. 31 or
an increase in the radon because
of improved supply prospects and
slowness of some European coun
tries to take Cuban supplies.
