(EDT) for its first meeting as a working committee to start laying the groundwork for a permanent atomic control agency. The Russian procedure expert took exception to the ruling and reserved the right for Soviet de legate Andrei A. Gromyko to bring the issue before the commission at today’s closed meeting. The session was scheduled to be confined largely to the adoption of rules of procedure, which in general follow the rules under which the Security Council oper ates. There also was a possibility that the working committee would create one or two sub-committees to take up specific phases of the work of combining the U. S. and Russian atomiec plans into an ac ceptable compromise formula. Since the. session was confined largely to procedural matters, it was decided to bar the press and public. Associates of U. S. repre~ sentative Bernard M. Baruch said, however, that Baruch felt that future meetings should be open. Meanwhile, Gromyko’s repeated use of the veto during Wednesday’s Security Council debate on the Spanish question appeared .to be developing into a major U. N. issue. Dr. Francisco Castillo Najera, President of the Security Council and Foreign Minister of Mexico, asserted last night that Russia’s numerous negative votes cons tituted an “abuse of the veto.” “I have always opposed the veto power in essence,” he said, “and I am particularly opposed to the abuse of the veto.” Teaching Duties Dr. Thomas ¥. wrsen, jr., has resumed his duties as professor of iaw at the sUniversity of Geor gia Law School this quarter after a leave of absence of five years. Dr. Green left the University in 1941 when he was appointed associate secretary of the Ameri can Associatien of University Pro fessors in the national offices i Washington, D. C. After the be ginning of the war, k< received an appointment «s Georgia aitorney for the Office »f Price Adminis tration witly headquarters in At lanta. Later he was promoted to as sistant attorney for the Southeast, and in September, 1943 was ele vated to principal attorney in the office of the Solicitor, War Ad ministration and U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture in Washing ton, where he served until his re turn to the Uniersity at the begin ning of the summer session. Dr. Green, who has sefved on the University law faculty for twelve years holds the A. B. and LL. B. degrees from the Universi ty of Georgia and the J. P. D. de gree from the University of Chi cage . While on leave, he had an ar ticle entitled “The Admissibility of Evidence under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,” published in the Harvard Law Review. WASHINGTON, June 28 — (AP)—President Truman today nomi nated 9,800 “top cream” veterans of World War II as permanent officers in the regular Army. They were selected by the War Department from an original list of 108,000 applicants, all of whom held temporary commissions in the wartime citizens Army. The nominations, which went to the Senate for confirmation, will bring the officer corps of the reg ular Army to its authorized strengths of 25,000. : A Senate Military Subcomrnlt tee yesterday appproved doubling { this figure to 50,000 after hearmgl Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower tes tify that the additional officers may be needed for the next 25 or 30 years. The War Department said it em ployed a new screening process in the selection designed to find “the best leaders in he world today.” Voluntary withdrawals = and failure to pass rigid physical ex aminations trimmed the original applicant list from 108,000 to 81,000, the department said. Those who failed to make the grade in today’s list wil] have another opportunity if Congress follows the recommendation of Eisenhower and the Senate sub committee. Fina] slections were made by a board, which the Army Chief of Staff told the Senators yesterday was not subject to influence. ‘Six hundred were nominated for permanent rank of Major, two thousand were named te be Cap lains, 6,100 as First Lieutenants Sand 1,100 as Second Lieutenants. In virtually every instancé their new rank wil] be a reduction from their wartime commissions.

Vet Will Sell +» et Will Sell /74, fi% i An Eye To Back 7} Business Venture SEATTLE, June 28—(AP)—A jobless 24 year-old former soldier, wants to sell one of his lignt blue eyes to finance himself in a busi ness of his own. “Some one ought to be willin.g‘ to buy an eye,” the veteran, Al-| fred I. Wilson, told a Seattle newspaper last night “I'm mnot crazy. I've thought it over a long time and it seems to me it's the only way out. I figure T can see as well with one eye as with two anyway.” ‘ Wilson says the root of his dif ficulties was a collision in 1943 between his motorcycle and an automobile. In a damage case the judge held him responsible. In ;lieu of paying S4OO damages, which he says he has refused to ’do because he feels he was blame less, his driving license has re ‘mained suspended. After a medical discharge from the Army, he went back for a spin at ecommercia] driving., But now he is married and jobless. “It’s getting tougher to get a job without showing a license,” he explained, “and I figured that, since driving is all I know, ‘about the only thing to do is ge* some money and start a small delivery business of my own. So I want to sel] an eye.” - Probe War Profits WASHINGTON, June 28.— (AP)—Chairman Mead (D-N.Y.) told the Senate todayv the defense investigating committee will be gin ‘a public investigation of war profits Monday with hearings on the operations of a group of Chi cago concerns. Declaring that more than $315,- 600,000.000 had been spent on war purchases up to V-J Day, Mead said it *was “perfectly ob vious that there would be some wasteful and improper practices and some instances of down right #raudulent and criminal practices” because of the need for haste. The committee hopes to deter mine, he said, “the manner In which government officials have policed anr supervised the ex penditure of substantial sums of public funds in war -procure ment.” Yo Re bl First Lieutenants between 28 and 1 35, Captains between 35 and 42 and Majors between 42 and 48. | Of the successful appointees.l about 4,100 wil] be commissioned in the air forces, 3,100 in the ground forces and 2,600 lin thel‘ service forces. l : oY Rel Want To Hear ‘ A-Bomb Blast?

Wilson ruled today that abbitra tion of International Typographical Union “laws” was not an_issue in the National Labor Relations Board hearing here on the strike ‘by composing room Crews of two St. Petersburg newspapers. Full Associated Press Service But the 12-month deficit still will top $20,000,000,000, and riuch of tae “saving” may sim nly spill over into the books or tha new fiscal year. Latest treasury figures indicate that revenue receip\.s. may top ‘he $42,932,090,000 Mr. Truman foresaw April 11, wvrhile actual expenditures may fall below his $64,654.000,000 estimate by more than $1,000.000,000. Most of the “saving”. appears allributabig to the slow progress cf ta~ foreign landing program, including the British loan still before Congress. Thus it may coustitute merely a deferment of this outgo until fiscal year 1947. Treasury reports falling just thiree working days short of covering fiscal 1946 show only €674.315,500 has been moveg out of the® vaults for foreign loans this year against Mr. Truman’s April estimate of $1,614,000,000. - Revenue receipts stand at $42,- 305,000,000 and are accumulat ing at an average of more taan $255,000.000 a day. The Presi }dent estimated they'd total $42,- 1£32.000,000. . - Buclzet expeditures are well ‘below $63,000,000,000 compared with the April estimate of $64,- 654,000,000. But they are aver ‘aging nearly $250.000,000 a day. .~ Spending on defen&e, war and wa' liquidation and on the ‘“af termath of war’—veterans, debt interest and tax refunds—also seemed likely to fall below Mr. Tiruman’s guesses of $48,683,~ - ¢OO,OOO and $11,303,000,000 re~ espectively. ~ Spending on other govern ment activities, however, ap peared likely to..exeeed his . es timate of $3.004.000.000.

Rivers Dares Amall To Repeat “Trade” Charge To His Face; ' Carmichael Speaks On Industry Talmadge Repeats His Warning Of Negroes Holding Office In State ATLANTA, June 28.—(AP)--Pelitical orators miles apart on gov ernmental theories, could be thankful today for the statute miles separating them. : o a : S : A campaign, hot as the weather expected on the July 17 voting ‘date, flamed up again in Savannah last night where former Governor E. D. Rivers took to the'air in an unscheduled address. 4 Rivers said Governor Ellis Arnall had been quoted as saying Rtvers made a deal with Roy Har ris, house speaker, and Eugene Talmadge. “] want to say right here and now” Rivers declared, “that is a falsehood and that Arnall hasn’t got the physical courage to stand in my presence and say the things the press quotes him as saying.” A few hours earlier in a speech at Claxton, Rivers declared Arnall “a common unmitigated liar” if the papers had quoted khim cor rectly. “If I didn’t take cognizance of Arnall’s statement,” Rivers said, “there are some people who might get the idea that I didn’t answer it for a purpose. I'm telling you now, Ed Rivers hasn't traded with anybody for anything. He isn't going to get out of this race.” Arnall issued a statement here Wednesday saying Rivers had forfeited claim to the executive’s friendship when he “joined forces with Harris and Talmadge.” ~ In campaign speeches yesterday, Rivers said Arnall had double ~rossed him because “Ohio’s Jim Cox made Arnall withdraw sup port from me.” Rivers referred to James M. Cox, publisher of the Atlanta Journal, which is supporting young James V. Carmichael of Marietta as Arnall’s successor. The row between Arnall ‘and Rivers broke into the guberna torial campaign when Rivers “apologized” to Georgia for hav ing named Arnall Attorney Gen eral during his administration. Rivers said Arnal! had promis ed to support him in the current arations and colonial issues, as well ag the division of surplus raval units, and ccmpensation of Allied Nationals for destruction of their property in Italy. J Balkan Treaties On the Balkan {ireaties, the principal oproblems concerned. - eedom of navigation on the Danube and f{reedom of com merce wita Balkan nations. They were no fundamental points of disagreemdnt on the Finnish treaty. ¥ A British source commented that despite yesterday’s fruitful session—at which the Italian owned Dodecaneso. Islands in the Aegean Sea were awarded to Greece and the Tenda and Briga regions on the French-Italian border to France—it seemed doubtful that the Ministers could meet their self-imposed deadline for completion of work cn the five treaties today. He expressed: doubt also that the campaign and then had deserted in favor of Carmichael. Arnall in turn “apologized” for ever hav ing teamed up politically with Rivers. " ~ Arnall added Rivers “is un worthy of public office.” Talmadge, speaking yesterday at Statesboro warned that some day Georgia might have negro Gov /rnors and Senators unless * the “white primary,” which the Supreme Court says must go, is retained. ' Carmichael, speaking at Fort Valley, reiterated his promise to develop Georgia’s industries and agriculture. ' The itinerary today sent Car michael to Hazlehurst and Eastman Talmadge to Monroe, and Rivers to Darien, Ludowici, Wrightsville and Louisville. Remember “Scarface’’? MIAMI, Fla., June 28.—(AP)— Al Capone, the ex-mobster, is still at his Miami Beach estate and is incapable of “taking any active part in any business what soever,” his physician said to day. : Dr. Kenneth Phillips, who has attended Capone since before he| was sent to Alcatraz in 1932 forl income tax evasion, issued the statement at the request of ,the Capone family. Capone recently emerged from the oblivion into which he had sunk when James M. Ragen. wealthy Chicago racing news publisher, declared after being shot that the Capone gang still dominated Chicago vice and gambling. ’ Capone has not been in the north since the latter part of the summer of 1945, D: Phillips caid. peace conferenca could be call ed for July 15 but said it might be convenekk later in the summer.

BY HAL BOYLE . BERLIN, June 28— (AP) —Helga is waiting for a husband she hopes will never come "back. He is a German officer captured before Stalingrad. Four years as a Russian prisoner have changed him so much that Helga is reluct ant to resume her broken life with him. ' He has become a Communist—and that I never can stand,” she said. “I cannot live with a husband who is a Communist.” Helga was born on the right side of the tracks but the wrong side of the Oder Rive:. She be longs to tae great ' landowner class in Silesia. A clasg that in a single year she says has been wiped out by expropriation and splitting up of the land among Polish peasants. Now Helga is a kind of fem inine Majordomo in an American ‘household here. Instead of the spacious old German country! house of waich she was once | ‘mistress, she has as her home ;(me room in a dwelling of siran cers. a small room with a bed, a wash bowl and a window. At dusk on those rare days when Gerlin isn’t rainy, Helga likes to <it by her window and muse over aer old life. “My father was an officer in the iast war under the Kaiser,” ! e said, “He was badly wound-l |cd ‘and neéver recovered his strength fully. When I was in| school 1 wanteq to be a doctor, bul he told me that I must study agriculture because e would dies soon;, and there was uobody else to run the farm. ! “He wanted me to marry, and I guess he did pick my husband for me.

But I did have a good life on our old farm befors my futher died— four years ago thig month. “I Jilkked wmwnum% _~ and, ’.ridinz. But nothing was the same atter my father died. I love no ‘man so much as I did my ather.” Helga’s husband lives in her raemory more ag a great bottle man than as a lover, farmer or. warrior. “He didn’t like to work,” she galid. “He used to drink a full bottle of cognac every day by himself. He would drink even in tae morning. And in the eve ring he would put the bottle on tne floo= by his chair while he read the newspaper. He would lead. until the bottle was empty. ' Recently she 'aas been receiv jvg letters from her husband saving he will soon be freed. ~ “His letters ave full of Com raunist propaganda,” -she said. “]1 have talked to some German cfficers who were with him at Stalinerad and have already\ come back.
