Athenians Continue To
Voice Approval Of
Plan For Memorial Park
Councilman Williams Will Propose
Commission To Study County Offer
Never in the recent history of Athens has a public
proposal met with such widespread support as the
Commissioners’ offer of Fairhaven property to the
city for development as a public Memorial Park.
Tl T T R S R v= S
The offer will be considered by
the Mayor and Council at the
July meeting Wednesday night.
Chairman R. F. Hammett of the
Board of Commissioners will pre
sent the county's offer after
which Councilman E. D. Williams
will introduce a resolution creat
ing a Memoriay Park Commis
sion, as p-?)“um cit
izens, including Chancellor S. V.
Sanford and Judge Blanton Fort
son, for the purpose of studying
the proposal and investigating the
possibilities of developing the
property as a Memorial Park in
honor of the servicemen and wo
men of the county.
Three Commissioners
Three outstanding businessmen
will be named on the commission,
if it is created. Mayor Bob Mc-
Whorter said today he has asked
A. G. Dudley, Max Michael and
C. A. Trussell if they will serve
on such a commission and that
all three have agreed, if the
Council desires them to act. When
the commission reports on its
findings, provided Council au
thorizes its creation, the Council
will then decide whether it will
proceed with development of the
property as a memorial.
There is a strong sentiment in
favor of Council accepting the
county’s offer promptly, but there
is a sentiment in Council which
insists that the county develop
the property, or at least join witn
the city in developing it. The
commission will study the entire
matter. ‘
The public of Athens, which
knows it will furnish whatever
money that goes into the park,
regardless of whether it is spent
by the city government or the
county government, because of
the preponderange of taxpayers
of the county living in Athens,
wants a Memorial Park and be
lieves the Fairhaven property is
ideal,
Meanwhile, discussion ~of -the
broperty as a park as a’memor
ial to the servicemen and women
of the county has enhanced its
value, apparently, as a real es
tate sub-division. After the war
Is:won, there will be a big de
mand for residential property
here, and if the proposal is tied
up with Couneil and the Commis
sioners at loggerheads, the land
might eventually drop into the
lap of real estate ' promoters.
Adoption of the Williams resolu
tion will, however, . prevent the
matter from getting into a jam.
Citizens Enthused
Yesterday a large number of
ritizens expressed themselves as
strongly favoring the' Memorial
Park plan and today many others
join in the plea for Council to
seize this opportunity for the
People;
J. H. Hubert: “I am very
much in favor of developing
the Fairhaven property as a
public Memorial Park. If it is
properly developed it will
serve the community for
years to come.”
W. H. Benson: “I heartily
approve the plan to use Fair
haven property for a Memor
ial Park, and am lending
every effort to that end. It is
our opinion, that ence the
Property is put in proper con
dition, the buildimgs could be
leased to responsible business
for practically enough to take
care of the operation of the
park., . \
‘T also suggest that if Fair-

haven is used for a Memorial
Park, that the money we have
given and that others have
given, if they agree, together
with such other public sub
seriptions as may be neces
sary to raise to build a fit
ting memorial in the park,
rather than a reception.
“I am sure that the people
of this county will rejoice and
approve of such a necessary
and worthy undertaking, and
will work together for a bet
ter county in which to enjoy
greater fellowship.”
Mrs, Claude Chance: “Our
city needs more recreational
facilities and I think con
verting the Fairhaven land
into a Memorial Park will be
a very fine thing to do.”
Morton S. Hedgson: “Ath
ens is short on place for rec
reation. We cannot have too
many. Fairhaven property is
close enough to town to be
accessible to everyone. I am
very much in favor of the
City accepting this offer to
make the Fairhaven proper
ty a public park as a Memo
rial to the servicemen and
women of the county.”
Mrs. Golden Michael:
“Athens needs parks badly
and this is a golden opporiu
nity for our cy. Fairhaven
is a naturaj park and the
name Memorial Park will
pay deserved tribute to those
who have done so much for
us here at home. As it now
is our young people have
few outlets for mnatural
youthfulness and the safest
thing a community can do is
to provide places, iu a setting
of beaunty, whereby young
and old can find whole
some enjoyment.”
R. R. Gunn: “The plan to
make Fairhaven property a
Memorial Park is cxcellent.
It ought to be done. Our
community will always be
glad to have plenty of ,pyces
for recreation.” ¢
Mrs. Tom Harrold: “The
Fairhaven property is al
ready a beautiful place and
it should be preserved as a
Memorial Park.”
Mrs. Max Hubert: “I am
greatly in favor of the plan
to make Fairhaven into 2
Memorial Park and sincerely
hope that the idea will be
carried out. It wouuld mean
a great step forward for
Athens.”
Mrs. Mildred V. Rhodes:
“The idea and sentimeni
underlying the plan te util
ize the Faf‘haven grounds as
a MemoriaP Park is a beauti
ful one. No better way could
re found than to change this
land not now being used
into a lovely park for our
men and women to enjoy
with their children. It should
not be allowed to languish.”
Mrs. Emory Cook: “Y can't
think of anything that would
be more beneficial and en
joyable for the people of
Athaps., young and old, than
to utilize the Fairhaven
property, now lying idle, as
a Memorial Park, I feel sorry
for those people who do not
have the opportunity of en
joying a park — because I
am oné of them.”

Senator Millikin Is
Emerging As Chief
Skeptic Of Charter
By The ‘Associated Press
WASHINGTON, July 10—(AP)
—Bass voiced Eugene Donaid
Millikin emerged today as the
chief senatoria] critic of United
Nations charter provisons at for
eign relations committee hearings
on the document.
* The bulky, bald Colorado Re
publican topk over ‘he task of
examining state department of
ficials minutely on almost every
section of the 19 charter agree
ments signed by 59 nations at
San Francisco.
It seemed likely that Millikin
also might become the principal
author of any major reservations
offered to the treaty ratification
resolution, since Senator Taft (RR-
Ohio) told a reporter he would
not take the leadership in pre
senting such proposals.
Question Power 3
Taft and Millikin have been
conferring about the possibility
of spelling out in a reservation
the authority of the American
delegate on the proposed Wnld
Security Council. . The council
would be charged with the force

peaceful means fail.
Millikin, who has not indica ‘

With Democratic leader Bark

Brown Moves To
Repeal U.S. ]
Auto-Use Tax |
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 89—
Congressman Paul Brown of the
10th Georgia district has intro
duced a bill to repeal the auto-l
use tax.
Congresman Doughton, chair
man =of the House Ways and
Means Comittee told Congress
man Brown he favors the Brown
bil and %aat he would do his best
to have this law repealed between
now and June 30 1946. 1
Speaking to the House of Rep
resentatives in support of his bill
Congressman Brown said:
«] have today introduced a bill
to abolish the $5 auto-use tax.
The bill §s not retroactive. 1t
merely repeals the tax at ¥ae end‘
of the present fiscal year. It does
not interfere with the tax struc
ture this year. I believe the cost
of collecting this tax will almost
equal the amount of revenue. Be
sides, it is such a nuisance and
wrritates veryone. So many fail
to buy the stamps and tais is
certainly unjust and unfair to
tose who comply with the law.
«I received a letter a day or two
ago from one of the most out
standing Baptist ministers in my
State and in the South, Rev. W.
H. Faust. He said, in effect, the
‘idea of paying $5 for a slip of pa
per to put on the windsuield of
1 your car when nobody knows
| whether it is on or of is ridicu
culous. No one is responsible for
collecting the $5 from anyone else.
Surely the masses of people are
not buying them at all. There
seems to be no satisfactory way
on the part of the Goverriment of’
finding out Vo carries them and
who does not. I certainly wish
you, Mr. Congresman, would use
your influence to have this
worthless, senseless. useless, and
unobserved law repealed.
“I think it is foolish to pass any
law that is not and cannot be en
forced. As I have Hheretofore
stated, 1 doubt seriously that the
?revenue will amount’ to any more
that th expense of collecting the
tax and besides it irritates evry
one who complies with the law to
know that nearly half the people
buy no stamp at all. .
2,000 Planes In Sweep
Virtually Unchallenged
BY LEONARD MILLIMAN
Associated Press War Editor
Nearly 2,000 American planes swept virtually unchallanged over
Japan today in the heaviest air blow of the Pacific War.
The attack centered on Tokyo. More than 1,000 aircraft from a
powerful Third Fleet task force lying southeast of the capital bombed
and strafed nearly 80 airdromes around Tokyo in a day-long attack—
probably just the beginning of a two or three day assault.
DeGaulle May Nos
Be A (andidate
In French Elections
PARIS, July 10—(AP)— Two
government officials, who claim
to know Gen. De Gaulle's inten~
tions, said today that, he would
not be a candidate for the new
national assembly Wwhich the
French will select at a general
election Oct. 14 and expressed
doubt whether h, would align
himself with any party.
Political circles considered it
likely, however, thal the new as-~
sembly would exercise its lowes
to “draft” D Gaulle, the pres:
dent of the present provisional
government, for office,
The fate of the bi-rameral sys
tem of government is expecied
to be at stake in the general
election, the fi*st in France since
before the war, when the voters
decide whether they wish to dis
card the constitution of 1873,
under which the third republic
was established. ;
Elect New Assembly
The voters wil] name 600 rep
resentatives who will comprise
the new assembly. This body thern
will name a “president of govern~
ment” wht¥ in turp will select
his cabinet ministers. The Pres
ident need net come from the
assembly itself since the sysiem
provides for complete freedom of
selection.
Consequenfly De Gaulle, might
be chosen to head the next gov
ernment evep if he does not have
an official position following the
election. In any case it is con
sidered reasonably certain that
he would be one of the new gov
ernment’s ministers. g
The election probably will
show just how far — if at all-
France hag drifteq to the left in
recent years. A great many of
the best French poltical anal
ysts believe that the Communist
and Socialist influence is not as
great . as, superficial evidences
have indicated.
Virtually all French political
grouips are agreed on the neces
sity of changing one aspect of
the olg constitution whereby a
governmen autorsaticlly feit
when it lost its majority in the
chamber of deputies. The resulis
has been an instability of gov
ernment in times of crisis. In the
last 89 years there have been
109 Frnch governments.
Pole Election Delayed

general election, Premier Zd
ward B. Osubka-Morawski of

ernment said that the projected

Approximately 500 Superforts
dumped 3,500 “tons of fire bombs
and high explosives on at least
five industrial cities. Tokyo said
they hit seven while 17 other B-29s
mined coastal waters.
Japanese broadcasts reported
100 Mustang fighters from Iwo
Jima raided Osaka and Kobe while
130 bombers and fighters from
Okinawa raked Kyushu.
Coordinated Attack
The cordinated attack stemming
from the most powerful carrier
force ever to enter Japanese
waters, and from bases in three
island groups carved out of the
Nipponese empire, concentrated on
knocking out what's left of the
Mikado’s air force and the air
d:gxenes from which they could
defend Tokyo.
Vice Adm. John S. McCain's fast
carrier task force moved in ‘so
close to the Japanese shore that
it’s 1,000 odd planes could well
have flown close to 2,000 sorties
during the day.
They combed a 40 by 60 mile
area around Tokyo, pinpointing
airports and little factories missed
by B-29s with their 500 pound
bombs. They followed up with
rockets and machinegun bullets.
Reports for the first half day
of the attack, which opened at
dawn, carried no word of intercep
tion or enemy counterattacks on
‘the fleet. For the first time, Adm.
Chtster W. Nimitz named some 26
of the ships and admirals partici
\pating. It was the first carrier raid
on Tokyo in five months.
The Tokyo-reported strikes at
the Nagoya-Osaka area and Kyu
shu were similar to American-an
nounced blows yesterday which
neutralized ' airdromes in these
areas in preparation for the car
rier strike and knocked out 26
interceptors.
" Hit Oil Refinery
| Superforts dropped high ex
plosive bombs on the Yokkaichi
oil refinery near Osaka in an
attempt to knock out Japan’s larg
est remaining plant producing
aviation gasoline.
The other four targets were fire
bombed, making 34 Nipponese‘
cities that have been thus raided.
They included Sendai, largest city
in northeast Japan. It lies 180;
miles beyond Tokyo and is the
most distant target hit by B-29s
from the Marianas. The attack
required a 3,960 mile round trip.
The two millionth ton of bombs
dropped by air forces landed on
Wakayama, steel and chemical
center south of Osaka. Also hiti
were Sakai, an industrial suburb
of Osaka, and Gifu, electrical cen- ‘
ter near Nagoya. Osaka itself and
Kochi en southern Shikoku island
were named by Tokyo as addi
tional targets.
The raiders threw the “dark!
shadow of invasion” on Nippon as
Tokyo reported defending troops
were “entrenched in fortifications
along the coast of Japan awaiting
the enemy landing.”
Optimism Sounded

enemy homeland any time they

Big-T '

BY DeWITT MacKENZIE
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
The forthcoming conference of
the Big Three in Brelin—for which
President Truman already has de
parted—can’t begin a day too soon,
because the affairs of shell-shock
ed Europe are in such state as to
demand the quick attention of
these three ranking policemen of
world peace.
Maybe it’s putting the cart be
fore thé horse to state the case
that way. As a matter of fact, it
looks as though the first task of
the trio must be to put their own
house in order before attempting
to purge a psychoneurotic conti
nent of its ills.
Specifically, the solution of criti~
cal problems are awaiting the for
mation of common policies by the
Big Three. The biggest task of the
conference will be to iron out dif
ferences of viewpoint so that these
common policies can be establish
ed.
Divergent Views

New Labor Strikes |
Boost Number j
Idle To Over 40,000
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
New labor disputes in Detroit
and Alabama boosted the number
of idle workers today from a 30-
day low of about 36,000 to ap
proximately 43,000.
The New York stoppages on the
fluid labor front affected an Ala
bama war plant and two motor
city dairies.
Six thousand employes of the
National Cast Iron Pipe Company
plant in Birmingham, Ala., halted
production of 155 mm. shells in a
dispute a company spokesman
said was over a change in super-
Visory personnel. Unionists in
volved are members of the Inter
national Association of Machin
ists and the International Mould
ers and Foundry Workers, both
AFL units. ¢
As one strike in Detroit ended,
two others broke out. One, by
1,000 employes of Detroit Cream
ery Company and Ebling Cream
-ery Company, halted delivery of
'milk to about 30 percent of De
troit homes and stores and also
affected the company’s plants in
nearby Dearborn and Pontiac.
Other disputes were of a week
or longer duration and there was
no immediate indication of set
tlement. The largest gingle stop
page was the 16,500 CIO United
Rubber Workers at the Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company in
Akron, Ohio. Today the unino

to the black market.” |
Anderson, he .said, also is
