International doodling left its mark on the blotting
pads on which delegates seribbled while they parleyed
at the Paris Peace Conference. :
Although psychologists and psychiatrists have not defi
nitely determined the psychological Significance of dood
ling, they were able to draw “tentative and preliminary”
Inferences from one day’s scribblings as recorded by an
NEA photographer. |
_ The experts, members of New York University’s Test
!ig and Advisement Center, point out that you “cannot
generalize about a national group on the basis of the per
formance of one member of the group; nor can one 'dg\y S
doodles indicate that the same conditions would exist on
any other day.” ' e
With those limitations, here are some possible charac
fielristics the NYU experts found in the peace parley doo
€s:
. Doodling generally indicates preoccupation “with some
intellectyy| activity or problem requiring close concentra
tion, This clearly applies to the delegates.” .
Heavy lines reflect emotional strain; light lines, lesser
tension. “Thys some of the delegates appear to be under
more tension than others.”
The delegates’ doodling shows an absence of broken of
tremulous lines, “suggesting they are well integrated in
their intellectual and emotional life.” ip il
“ Prevalence of “non-human content” in the doodlings is
Probably a function of their superior intelligence and
does not necessarily indicate a lack of appreciation for
the human element, 1 anything, it suggests a subordina
t")"d”f bersonal problems to consideration of the common
g£oood.”

Juick Government Action Seen To Apply
Brakes On Disintegrating Cotton Prices
" - ¥ e
Rep. Sparkman Predicts Inmediale
n
Steps Will Be Taken By Government
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. — (AP) —— Rep. Sparkman
(D.-Ala.) predicted today that the government will try
quickly possible by nightfall—to jam the brakes on tum
bling cotton prices.
As major cotton exchanges mdae ready to resume
trading after an emergency shutdown yesterday, Spark
man told a reporter he expects BStabilizaiton Director
John R. Steelman to wipe out a 120-day limitation on ad
vance pricing by mills of finished cotton goods.
The Cotton State lawmaker homa City taat he had asked
also said. after conferring with Mr. Truman to elimi‘natejmrie-

Steelman, that price controls on
cotton textiles may be abolished.
But added:
“I don’t consider deconfrol as
important as removal of the 120~
day limitation.”
Sparkman said Steelman plans
to confer with President Truman
today on tae cotton situation.
“I feel certain there will be
quick action,” the Alabaman as
serted. “It's likely to come to
day.”
To Reopen Today
Cotton exchanges in New York,
New Orleans ang Chicago an
nounced last night that they
would reopen for business today.
They halted trading suddenly
and unexpectedly yesterday —
for tae thirg time in two weeks
—in an effort to check the price
skid that has sent the staple
down as much as SSO a bale.
Sparkman quicklv arranged a
wonference wikh .Mr. Truman
and later quoted the Chief Ex
ecutive as saying it is ‘the pur
pose of the government to do
everything possible to stabilize
the cotton market.”

BY J. M. ROBERTS, JR. 3

Many delegates to the United Nations Assembly feel that Russian Foreign Minis

of the United States and other nations, but they were quick to jump on his disarma
ment bhand wagon. ‘V
Freviously, general disarmament had hardly been considered. Then suddenly it be
came a general desire, but with the provision that it must be accoxrfpafl'ied by interna

“RUMORS ARE FLYING:
ARAB LEADERS GALL FOR MASS
PARADE T 0 DEMONSTRATE POWER
JERUSALEM, Oct. 31 —(AP)
—Leaders of Futuwah, a Pales
tine Arab army, called for a pa
rade and mass meeting in the
Arab city of Nablus tomorrow as
rumors’ of an Arab uprising
spread througa Jerusalem' in the
wake of bombing attacks attri
buted by police to the Jewish
underground.
The Arab leaders said specifi
cally that thig was not to be a
“protest meeting,” but other
Arab sources said th: parade was
“calculated as -a show ol
strengta.”
Four British soldiers were
killeq and at least 12 Britons
and six Arabs were wounded
in vesterday’s incidents.

But Molotov's pr’oposal could
hardly have been better timed
to fall in with the Austin re
statement aided by a brief word
from President Truman, of
American policy. For those wao
may have mistaken frequent
failure to implement that policy
for a lack of one, a few Ilnes
are sufficient to describe it. It
has always been the same, both
abroag and at home. :
Austin said the U. S., is for
removing the burden of arms,
for a decent life and for a rising
standard of living in the light
of the Golden Rule. Truman said
there was a special connotation
in wo-ld affairs to be drawn
from those famous words ‘“‘gov
ernment of the people, by the
people, for the people.”
Whatever tangents may have
been taken in individual cases,
those points still remain fixed
ang all-inclusive.
Oblique Digs :
| Mr. Austin was not inclined to
grapple wita Mr. Molotov in an
'atmosphere of recrimination. But
‘did get in some oblique digs.
'Such as “the initiative of the So
viet Union in this (disarmament)
‘matter is appropriate, because of
its mighty armises,” and then
softened i* with “just as the ini
tiative of tae United Stateg was
appropriate in proposing meas
ures to prevent manufacture and
use of atomic weapons.”
The size of Russia’'s Army and
its deployment outside her bor
ders has been one of the first
causes of worlq nervousness. It
is one of the chief reasons why
i{he United States feels forced to
maintain the g-eatest peace-time
forees in 'aer history.
What Russia actually has, and
therefore what must be kept to
balance her. is not known. In
1938, according to best available
figures, Russia had an army of
some 2.500.000 men, on which
she spent about $5,500,000,000 at
the 1938 price of the ruble.
For next year she plans 0
spend some $13500,000,000 on
defense, 'at the current ruble rate
which we have no means of com
paring with 1938.

SHOWDOWN SCHEDULED TOMORROW:
Lewis Appears Certain To Capture
Even More Glory From Wage Dispute
W ASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—(AP)—John L. Lewis appeared certain today to emerge
from his fight with the government 2 bigger winner than ever.
With Lewis still holding the whip hand —backed by the tacit but nonetheless real
threat of another strike by his 400,000 soft coal miners — all signs point to eventual
new government concessions in the negotiations scheduled to start Yomorrow.
Whether a walkout will intervene remains to be seen, but here are the signposts
that say the United Mine Workers’ chief in the end will get at least part of what he
wants. ‘ j
1. Lewis apparently has won
the first round — getting the
government to talk higher wages
with him.
The officialg who are going to
negotiate with him — Secretary
of Interior J. A, Krug and Navy
Capt. N. H. Collisson, Federal
Coal Mines Afdministrator—still
haven’t agreed - to reopen tae
present contract, but they say
they are willing to discusg any
thing taat is on Lewis’ mind.
Others Side With Lewis
Otherg in the administration
side wita Lewis in his contention
that the pact_can be reopened
on 10 days notice and ended in
30--days. /.
2. The government is anxious
to avert a coal strike in Novem
ber with winter’s chill approach
ing. And the administration is
well aware of what would hap
pen under tae miners’ historic
no-contract no-work stand
should Lewis cancel the agree
ment on schedule, November 20.
Moreover, any more to invgke
the jail penalties of the Smith-
Connally War Labor Disputes
'Act against Lewis in the event
of a walkout might only prolong
the controvers*y because of the
unswerving manner in which
the miners alwavs have stood
behind taeir chief.
3. Top administration @advis
ers acknowledge that they are
sea~ching for a satisfactory pay
concession to Lewis — yet one
which would not upset the labor
management apple cart and set
a pattérn for other union de
mands.
. Pay Sirike Fossibie
In other words. Lewis has in-
Adicated clearly that a strike fo~
bhigher pay mayv occur — even
during govleriiment oreration—
and the government has just as
clearly indicated it wants ta
avoicdk one. The answer seems
ce~tain. therefore, fto be: pay
concessions for the miners.
Collisson, without concedin?
in advance that he woula re
negotiate a contract with Lewis,

TEAM WITH MOST “HEART” WILL WIN -- BUTTS;
ALABAMA IN TIP-TOP SHAPE FOR CRUCIAL GAME
BY EDWIN POPE
Sports Editor
Take it from Coach Wally Butts himself — when Ala
bama invades Athens to play the fifth-ranking Georgia
Bulldogs Saturday, the team with the most “heart” ' will
win.
l “I predicted before the season
started that no team in the South
leastern Conference will go un
defeated,” reminded Butts, “and I
predict that of the four remaining
undefeated major teams in the
country, no more than one of them
]will be unbeaten all year. It is too
late in the season for the Bulldogs
to improve. We either have it by
now or we'll never have it.”
News trickling from Tuscaloosa,
where the Tide is pitching in with
gusto in their preparations for the
week-end fracas, said that all the
Elephants were in tip-top shape
iwith the exception of Johnny
August, a_ reserve tailback. But
Frank Thomas, one of the finest
coaches in the game today, can
still lean on Harry Gilmer and
Norman “Monk” Mosley, two of
the best left halfbacks in the
South.
McPhee Out
Word out of the Georgia ~amp
was not quite so encouraging,
although the odds-makers were
still quoting the Bulldogs as a

Cracker Party
|s Defeated In
Augusta Elections
] AUGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 31—(AP)
—The once powerful Cracker
party, which recently lost control
of county politics, saw its majority
ir. City Courncil swept out by can
didates of an independent reform
league .
Independent candidates won all
of seven council seats voted on in
yesterday’s Democratic primary. In
two of the seven wards, independ
ents defeated unaffiliated candi
dates.
Some poiitical observers con
tended that the two unaffiliated
candidates would have voted with
the Crackers, if elected.
Voting was light with only about
13,000 baliots cast out of a regis
tration of 26,500. Some polling re
ported very light voting by ne
groes. About 8,000 negrces were
registered.
Warnings to stay away from the
polls were reported by a negra
filling station operator. :

planted by Joe Geri, 185-pound
sophomore, at kick-off time (2:30
E. S. T.) Saturday.
~ Up front, Gene Alexander and
Howard Johnson, senior and fresh
man respectively, are raging a hot
fight for the firststring right guard
spot, and Gene Chandler and Mike
Cooley, freshman and junior, are
having a go at it for the regular
center position. “Alec” and Chand
ler started against Furman and are
fairly certain to answer the open
ing whistle against Alabama.
Harry Gilmesx
Alabama, boasting one of the
best defensive records in this
country, comes to town on the
famed passing wing of Harry Gil
mer, 155-pound aerial marvel from
Birmingham. Gilmer throws to Ted
Cook, a polished end, as well ‘as
Lowell Tew, hard-running right
halfback, Norwood Hodges, light
}but scrappy fullback, and others.
Gilmer's passing beat Georgia
last season. With special emphasis
on pass defense in this week’s
daily practices, Butts hopes to
avoid a repetition of that.
