Attendance at
Arson School
Thirteen Women in U. S.
Mending Political Fences
For Washington Posts
Atlanta — Safety Fire Commis
sioner Zack D. Cravey today urged
as many firemen, law enforcement
officers and insurance investiga
tors as possible to attend the Geor
gia State Fire College Fire and
Investigators’ school at Atlanta’s
No. 7 Fire Station next Monday
and Tuesday.
Recommending the school, Mr.
Cravey pointed out that too much
streess cannot be land on the
crime of arson “the hardest to de
tect and the most difficult to con
vict.”
“Georgia is making excellent
strides in its never ending fight on
this most heinous crime,” he de
clared. “But we need more trained
men to work with state and coun
ty officers and the State Fire Mar
shal’s , office.”
Mr. Cravey emphasized that ar
son detection calls for various
kinds of technical knowledge
much of which can be gained
through schooling. The investiga
tor, he said, must know fire and
its behavior, criminals and their
methods, merchandise values,
building construction, chemistry
physics and be able to pry into
circumstances the average person
overloooks.
All of the teachers in the forth
coming Atlanta school are men
vastly experienced in arson cases
and their instruction will be in
valuable to all, Mr. Cravey con
cluded.
General Hearn
Commends Local Civil
Defense Directors
Georgia’s Local Civil Defense Di
rectors are the backbone of our
fine Civil Defense Program ac
cording to Maj. Gen. J. H earn,
State Director.
Gen. Hearn stated that during
the past four years many com
mendations have been given to the
State Director for the outstanding
job being done in civil defense.
These commendations belong to
the Local Civil Defense Directors
because they are the ones that are
doing most of the work.
Hearn continued that he be~-
lieved Civil Defense Directors are
the most patriotic group of Ameri
cans we have today. In addition
to working for free, they are
faced with one of the most gigan
tic tasks ever undertaken in this
State and that is the educating of
over three and one half million
Georgias in a new and vital sub
ject. With the advent of nuclear
and thermonuclear weapons civil
defense has become a new di
mension in community thought
and planning.
He concvluded by urging every
one to help prepare to meet the
demands of an emergency, should
one occur, by volunteering to
your local director for the particu
lar civil defense service for which
you are best fitted.
The local civil dewense director
of Knoxville is Commissioner O.
C. Cochran.
Marker Tells History
Of Battle Fought 90 Years
Ago to Defend Macon
Washington—Its campaign time
for the nation’s 13 congresswomen
seeking to return to Capitol Hill in
January.
Mending the political fences back
home began as soon as the 83rd
Congress adjourned for all the la
dy lawmakers, except one—Rep. K.
St. George of New York. She took
off on a vacation. She has no oppo
sition in the Republican primary.
But as soon as the primary is
over she will stump her district on
behalf of herself and other GOP
candidates.
Here is a run-down on the cam
paign plans of the other women:
Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers, (R.-
Mass.)—The dean of congresswom
en keeps her political fences in good
repair all the time, but she’s booked
| with a tight schedule of speaking
(engagements throughout her state
this fall.
Rep. Frances Bolton, (R-O)—She
actually has been campaigning
since early spring. The handsome
gray-haired legislator has returned
to Ohio almost every week end.
Rep. Ruth Thompson, (R.-Mich.)
She already has her campaign un
der way.
Rep Marguerite Church (R.-Ill.)—
She faces a tough campaign, but is
a gifted off-the-cuff speaker and
has a lot of drawing power on the
platorm.
Rep. Cecil Harden (R-Ind.)—She
will have campaign assistance of
her husband. Mrs. Harden appeals
especially to the women voters with
campaign booklets suitable for
shopping lists, pot holders with her
name on them, and other household
items such as emery board and plas
tic thimbles.
Rep. Elizabeth Farrington (R.-Ha
waii)—The freshman congresswom
an, the first to represent Hawaii,
is returning to Honolulu to cam
paign actively for a new two-year
term. Mrs. Farrington was elected
in early August to succeed her late
husband. Her term expires in Jan
uary.
Rep. L. D. Sullivan (D.-Mo.)—The
glamorous brunette who is Mis
souri’s first congresswoman, has an
open house and a number of ral
lies planned for her district voters.

Macon, Oct. 4—-The spot where
one of most memorable episodes
in Macon’s history occurred 90
years ago isagain properly marked
as result of efforts of the Sidney
Lanier Chapter, UDC, and the co
operation of the Georgia Historical
Commission.
The site is Dunlap Hill in East
Macon where Confederate forces
twice fought off attacks by Union
soldiers attempting to capture Ma
con during the last stages of the
War Between the States.
In 1941, the UDC erected a mark
er commemorating the Battles of
Dunlap’s Farm, the first on July 30,
1864, the second on .Nov. 20 of the
same year.
But during the winter of 1949-50,
the marker was’found broken into
several pieces, either by an accident
or vandalism, only the upright
standard of iron to which it was at
tached remaining.
Last week the efforts of the local
UDC Chapter to restore the marker
were rewarded when a marker sup
plied by the Georgia Historical
Commission was erected on the
same site—at the entrance to Oc-
mulgee National Monument.
