Left to right are: Senator Guy Gordon, Republican from Oregon; Senator Carl Hatch, Democrat from New Mexico; Senator Leverett Saltonstall, Republican from Massachusetts; and Representative Dean M. Gillespie, Republican from Colorade. E COMPLETE TIME TABLE ON ATOMIC BOMB TEST REVEALED FOR FIRST TIME BY ARMY AND NAVY ABOARD U. S. S. APPALACHIAN, June 24— (Delayed)—(AP)—The joint Army-Navy task force disclosed today for the first time the full complexity of its time chart for the suspense-packed atom bomb day at Bikini July 1, g A Despite careful calculation of all risks and indefinite precautions to protect the 40,000 personnel in volved, the imnnnderables of atomic energy will make it a day of breathless suspense and drama. The comvlex machinery will begin to roll at Vice Admira W. H. P. Blandy’s signal the morning before test day—if weather forecasts are favorable. o Philip Murray Asks Veto Of Hobbs Bill WASHINGTON, June 25—(AP) —CIO President Philip Murray called up President Truman today for a “prompt” veto of the Hobbs Anti-Racketeering Bill. The CIO chief was the second major labor leader to express him self formally on the legisiation since the Senate unexpertedly completed congressional action on it Friday and dispatched it to the White House. AFL President Wil liam Green urged its veto last night. Murray, in a letter to the Presi dent, reminded: him that the pro visions of the Hobbs Bill were in corporated in the case legislation which got a presidential veto 'on June 11, He recalled that Mr. Truman’s message said that while the Pre sident was “in full accord with the objective,” Congress should expressly provide the measure “does not make it a felony to strike and picket peacefully and take other legitimate and peace ful concerted action.” Murray contended that in the current bill “no attempt has been made to meet the objections to it Which you voiced and which im-~- 1[;“;1“\‘ you to veto it”( in the Case 514 ), The union leader asserted that the Hobbs Bill was passed “in or der to project the existing Anti- Racketeering Act against a deli berately ambiguous background in the hope that anti-labor judges might apply its extremely severc benalties to the legitimate Activi ties of labor organizations.” Government Approves Non-Home Building Despite Reverse Trend WASHINGTON, June 25—(AP) —More than $1,370,000,000 worth of non-home building has been okayed since the government’s Construction controls went into ef fect in March, Lo A civilian production adminis tration report disclosed this today. It showed that in the first 11 weeks of the order designed to curb such building in order to make more Materials available for new homes there were 31,457 approvals {Qr, Store, factory, office and other on-housing construction and 14,- 971 rejections. However, .CPA Administrator John D. Small said that ratio has been reversed this month, A cut down in non-residential approvals as ordered May 29 when it de- Veloped that materials were being used up faster than they were being prodyced. : The cutdown -resulted too, other officials have said, from com- Plaints by housing expediter Wil son W.

June 29, E S E.), 34,000 Army and Navy Per [s.dnen will begin moving eut of the Lagoon and 140 ships not part of the anchored target fleet 'will steam to rendezvous points out side the danger area. Late that night, only 296 men will be left in the Lagoon, mak ing last-minute adjustments to in~ struments, cameras and recording equipment. Patrol vessels will police the anchorage and shores to make sure that all of these men are removed. Ships Clear All ships except the target fleet must be clear of the Lagoon by two hours before the ‘hour of the bomb blast—now set tentatively at 9:30 a. m. Bikini time) 5: 30 p. m. June 30, E. S. T.). No human being will be left in Bikini Atoll—only test animals on target ships in the Lagoon, a few birds ashore, and the fish in the sea. The working fleet will steam up wind from Bikini, to positions be yond the reach of radio activated waters and cloud. Flagship Nearest Nearest to the blast will be Ad miral Blandy’s flagship, the Mount McKinley, and an escorting des troyer, approximately'B 1% miles from the Lagoon. The Appalachian, press ship for the test, will be about 18 miles east of the Lagoon. As the ships steam toward safety, Army and Navy air units will swing into action from Kwa jalein, Eniwetok and Roi, in a great aerial show. Shortly after daylight on July 1 (early afternoon June 30, E.S. T, the atomic-~-bombing B-29 of Maj* Woodrow P. Swancutt will lead the skytrain from Kwajalein ‘to Bikini, 215 miles to the northeast, and there the various groups of planes will rendezvous at their assigned points. As the bomber, Blandy’s obser- non-residential building was jeo pardizing the homes-for-veterans program. Small’s statement declared, however, that ‘“inquiries and ap plications” for non-housing cons truction totaled more than 500,000 and that CPA turned back some 450,000 of these “before they reached the formal application stage.” Only the remaining 10 percent, he said, reached CPA for a decision whether the projects were essential and non-deferrable. Small asserted that the 71 citi zens’ construction committees which advise CPA field offices on construction requests have been doing a “difficult job patriotically and well. “They are not infallible and some mistakes are unavoidable but, country-wise, their mistakes have been few,” he continued. “Almost every action that has been critized has been found upon in vestigation to have been warrant ed by the facts. : Full Associated Press Service vation plane, the press-radio. ob servation plane and a photograp hic plane swing intq position, an Army photographic formation will aSsémble southwest of the &toll at 26,000 feet. Air-sea rescue units will be alerted meanwhile to aid any aircraft in distress.. - Drones will maneuver up to 30,- 000 feet; reconnaissance-plane crews will prepare to take up their pursuit of the vast radioactive cloud; and the bomber will make three test runs before the actual drop. If for any reason the bomb can not be dropped on the fourth run there will be one more trip across the target zone. If the bomb is not dropped on the fifth run, officers expect the operation will be post poned until a later day. No more than five runs are scheduled. Once the bomb leaves the six miles-high plane, a mother' ship will direct the Army’s drones through and around the cloud mass of the burst at heights of 13,~ 000, 18,000, 24,000 and 30.000 feet, and then return them to Eniwetok —if they’re still flyable. Observers will re-enter Bikini Lagoon in seven waves— beginning, probably, a minimum of 24 hours after the explosion. U.§., Russia Stand Pat No Settlement In Sight PARIS, June 25—(AP)— sian and U. S. opposition to a French proposal for internationa lization of the disputed city of Triesete dimmed today the pros pects for an early compromise solution to the key issue bloocking peace treaties for Italy and the Balkans. As the Foreign Ministers of the Big Four assembled for another try at examining the remaining differences presenting completion of peace pacts for Romania, Hun gary and Bulgaria, Americn sour ces voiced doubt that the French plan for Trieste—claimed by both the Italians and the Yugoslavs— would work.

Athens Ga., Tuesday June 25, 1946, Russia's Determined Stand On Atomic Control Stirs Conaress WASHINGTON, June 25.—(AP)—The threat of a United Nations deadlock over atomic energy con trol followed by a global atomic arms race stirred Congress today as the result of Russia’s blunt ‘do it-pur—»way”_ approach to the problem. ’ 3 . ; ¢ % - Leading lawmaukers declared. emphatically that this country i 3 rol going to surrender its n-bomb secrets until tested inter national coniro's are set up— sometiing whicn the Soviet plan cdees not appear to guarantee. A charge by ithe Communist newspaper Pravda that the American plan for international control -of the weapon ‘“reflects evident striving fol world rule” provoked sharp counter criti= cism from membcrs of tae Sens ate’s Special Atomic Committee. ~ Calling the charge “ridicu lous,” Senator Russell (D-Ga.), a committee member, told a res porter he thinkg “the Russians: shoulg stop judging” all ‘other nations’ motives by their. own: yseifish attitudes.” . “Nobody in tae world has ever offered to give away SO mach for so little,” the Georgia senator declared. “The Baruch' pians is a generous proposal by which we offer 1o give away a development bought with our geniur and our money. All we ask in return is protection for the world and ourselves against its use for destructive purposes. “I am bitterly cpposed to re vealing one iota of information until we have some irrevocable plan of inspection and I think the majority of Congress is in the same frame of mind. There can be no veto in the operation of suclt international control.” The Georgia Senator said he fears Russian insistance on the veto, reneweq in the Pravda cutburst, may deadlock U. N. atomic negotiations, a view skared by Senator Edwin C: Jo,nson (D-Colo), another com miitee member. i Arnall Addresses Spanish War Veterans Meeting SAVANNAH, Ga., June 25 — (AF)—Gov.

Newton was defeated by J. C. Inzer of Gads cen in tae June 4 runoff for lieutenant governor.

This apparently was a reference to Danzig and fiume.

Paper —Single Copy, 3c—sc Sunday _ +a \TTLED-DOWN’ BILL MUST PASS CONGRESS SAFELY TO BECOME LAW WASHINGTON, June 25—(AP)—An OPA bill far short of what the administration asked but a good deal less stringent than it ex pected went to the House today from a night shift coneference ‘session. Left intact were price conirols over meat, butter, cigarettes,and gasoline, but the one-year extension of the war-worn agency yanked away many of OPA’s powers over the national economy. B The House, then the Senate, and vision giving OPA 30 days aﬂ:er finally President Truman must ap prove the measure if it is to keep,‘ all price ceilings from expiring next Sunday midnight. \ } Last Minute Although a last minute decision knocked out sections which would have ended contrels over livestock, poultry, dairy products, tobaces and petroleum at the end of this 'month, many. of the bill's pro visions were written specifically to force a raise in prices. Advocates contended that such a course would spur production and put the nation on the highway to prosperity. But stablization director Chester Bowles damned them in advance as ‘“booby trap” breeders of infiation.. - Among them: 1. An end to OPA’s contro versial program calling for speci fic quantities of lower-cost cloth ing. : : 2. A halt to so-called cost-ab sorption on such things as autos, refrigerators and radios. i 3. A requirement that average unit cost increases since 1941 must be reflected in all price ceilings. New Power The Secretary of Agriculture was given control over all farm products, whereas heretofore OPA has had the final say. ‘ Because of the many ceifing ad justments that ‘will have to be made under the compromise ver sion, the conferees inserted a pro- Ithe office of Governor on a posi=- tive program of honesty, deceney and respectability. I want Georgia to have an administration of which every citizen of the State can be proud; an administration which can and will lead Georgia in educational, agricultural, and industrial development and bring prosperity and happiness to all people of the state.” Rivers, over an Atlanta radio station last night bitterly assailed Gov. Ellis Arnall and character lized him as the ‘“Beneditt Ar nold of Georgia politics.” He ac lcused the chief executive of a I“double cross.” J ; The former governor's attack followed an address in which Ar nal} assailed Rivers and Talmadge while publicly endorsing Carmi chael. Rivers told of appointing Ar nall as Assistant Attorney Gen eral and later as attorney Gener al. He said he lent his efforts to Arnall’s campaign for Governor (Continued on Page Six.) HOME July 1 to re-price articles still un der control. je The conferees reached their own compromise on the hotly-disputed issues of subsidies—governments payments designed to keep down retail prices. ! Food Subsidies . They voted to hold them to an yeven $1,000,000,000,000 and to quit paying food subsidies next April 3 g | The Senate had voted for sl,- 106.000,000 and May 1. OPA itself 'had usked for a total of $2,051,~ ,000,000. The House said meat sub .sidies ought to be stcpped June 30 this year, and all food subsicies lby Decemper 31. i % It the conference decision holds, not more than $629,000,000 can be spent for food subsidies the re mainder of this calendar year. The only subsidies which would ex tend beyond April 1, 1947, are those for copper, lead, ziné .aad sugar, .. . Barkley said that if the House passes on the bill in short order the Senate may act on it today. The House program called for an unusual 10 A, M. (EST) meeting. Over-Ceiling Used Car Racketeers Make Guilty Pleas DETROTL,, June 25.—(AP)— Twenty-two of 31 defendants pleaded guilty today to taking part in ‘what the federal govern ment described as a threemil lion dollar conspiracy to buy and .seu used automobiles above ceil~ ing priees., : - Seven other defendants entered not giwlty pleas and Federal Judge Arthur Koscinski began their trial immediately. Action on the ‘case of the remaining two defendants was held in abeyance by the government. The OPA, following a lengthy investigation, charged that the defendants had taken part in a conspiracy to buy used cars at over celing prices in Detroit lots. The automobiles were then chan neled through Murray, Ky., and Cairo, 111., and resold at over ceiling prices in, southern and southwest states, according to the OPA. A federal grand jury indicted the 31 men, a majority of whom are from Kentucky, several weeks ago, Judge Koscinski set no date for sentencing of the 22 defendants who pleaded guilty. Instead, he ordere dbonds of SI,OOO each con tinued pending a probation in vestigation. : A Mitchell Named ATLANTA, June .25 — (AP)—Governor Ellis Arnall today appointed William R.
