Government Eyes
Goal Front For
New Developments
WAHINGTON, Nov. 4—(AP)—
The government kept a wary eye
on the soft coal fields today for a
sign whether its crucial talks
with John L. Lewis are to be
held against a background of
peace or strikes in the mines.
The ‘“delegate” "negotiations
were scheduled to resume at 10
a. m. (EST).
As fresh reports from the
field were awaited the Federal
Coa] Mines Administration -ex
pressed willingness to credit the
walkout of 10,000 miners last
Friday and Saturday to a ‘“mis
understanding” over the status of
their working agreemenft. Most
of the affected pits were in West
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee
Union District leaders said they
were trying to get the men back
to work but a spokesman for the
operators said they looked for
an epidemic of strikes during the
negotiations. |
STow Struggle |
Thus far, at least, the mine
owners are simply interested by
standers to the sluowly-developing
struggle between Lewis and the
government.
Under his resent plan, the Uni
ted Mine Workers’ Chief gould
end his current agreement No
vember 20. :
Lewis, however, has given
no fresh sign of his strategy.
He has been holding his fire for
the return of Secretary of the In

Big Four Foreign Ministers
Convene Today > New York
ENVOYS T 0 TACKLE LAST HURDLES
BLOCKINGROAD TO WORLD PEACE
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.— (AP) —Around an oval white
pine table high in a skyscraper hotel, the Big Four For
eign Ministers meet today te tackle the last great issues
blocking the peace of Eastern Europe and to try, if they
can, to make a start on settling the future of Germany.
- Secretary of State nes,
Foreign Midisters Mol of
Russia and Bevin of Brita nd
Deputy Foreign Ministér Couve de
Murville of France agreed to open
their sessions at 4 p. m. E. S. T.
There was some chance that
Byrnes might meet one or more
of the,others for informal jfalks
beforehand.
Their presence here and that of
the 51-member United Nations
assembled made this city for the\
time being the diplomatic center
of the world and an arena in
which Russia and the Western
powers may test to the limit their
ability, to solve critical issues of
peace-making and peace-keeping.
The assembly, now operating’
through committees rather than in
formal sessions, already was knee
keep in such problems as what te
do about Franco Spain and how
to. handle vigorous small nation
attacks on the veto system. Both
these issues seemed certain to
have high priorities on the assem
bly’s 65-item agenda.
Final Task
The assigned task of the foreign
ministers is to put into final shape
peace treaties for Italy, Finland,
Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
These treaties, together with those
eventually to be written for Ger
many and Japan, are designed to
build out of the political wreckage
of World War Two the peace which
the United Nations was organized
to make permanent and secure.
But like the United Nations—in
whose sessions some of them may:
occasionally participate —the
foreign ministers have to meet and
resolve major controversies before

GEORGIA VOTERS CAST BALLOTS
IN GENERAL LECTION TOMORROW
A Talmadge-led fight on a proposed constitutional
amendment and intra-party strife in the Fifth Congres
sional District top interest in Georgia’s general election
tomorrow when voters will give their approval to Demo
cratic nominees in state-wide races. Keen interest centers
also in a write-in contest for the solicitorship of the East
ern (Chatham) Judicial Circuit,
Although more than 1,000,000
Georgians are qualified to vote,
capitol sources predict only a
small fraction of the number will
cast their ballots. i
The official ballot is two feet
long, listing 16 statehouse offi
cials, 22 Superior Court judges
and 16 solicitors general. There
also are elections in the 10 Con
gressional districts, 54 Senatorial
districts and local elections in
each of the 159 counties, in addi
tion to legislative races. Except
Holy Land Tension
At High Pitch
After Weekend Riofs
JERUSALEM, NOV. 4—(AP)
—Police reported tension at high
pitch in Northern Palestine today
but said there had been no re
petition of the Arab-Jewish
clash which brought death to five
persons yesterday. Twenty-seven
persons or more were hurt in this
and other disorders. b
Three Arabs were killed, while
two Jews were slain - and nine
wounded in a knife-and-club
fight over land ownership at a
new Jewish settlement near Lake
{ Uula, source of the river Jour
| dan near the country’s Northern
)borders. Feeling was reported
running high on both sides today
lin such cities as Tiberius on the
| Sea of Gallilee. South of Lake
! Ula.
" Elsewhere in Palestine, quiet
prevailed generally as Moslems
celebrated the feast of Alabama
with the sacrifice.
A small mine exploded un
der a train at Battir near Je
[rusalem early today but did no
! damage. Another mine was found
on the tracks nearby and re
moved.
Reports spread through Je
rusalem that ancther refugee shir
had been sighted by Royal Air
Force planes off the Palestine
coast, but they lacked official
confirmation.
Three trainmen were injured
severely last night when mines,
evidently set off by electricity,
derailed the locomotive and six}

“1. Tt is my belief that the

ed and that this obligation carries
with it the duty to keep the people
informed as to what the govern
ment of Athens proposes to do,
how it proposes -to do it and to
find out what the people generally
think as to desirability of doing
it.
“2. T believe that Athens is a
fine city: a famous University

to become one of the leading Uni

fitable manufacturing city: a
potential market for the agricul

NAVY BLIMP SETS WORLD RECORD AFTER STAYING
ALOFT 170-HOURS ON ROUTINE TRAINING FLIGHT
GLYNCO, Ga., Nov. 4.— (AP) —Navy crews here today refueled the airship XMI
whose “very routine” test flight stretched into a record breaking time aloft.
The non-rigid blimp alighted here at 5:49 p. m. (EST) yesterday, 170.3 hours after
it took to the air at Lakehurst, N. J., to set what Naval authorities said was a world’s
record Ziar non-stop, non-refueled flights for any type of aircraft.
At tha-e 300-foot craft could
have remained aloft for another
day or so, a spokesman for Lt.
Comdr. D. W. DeFay, command
ing officer of this station for
lighter than ajr craft, said last
night.
However, he added, since the
flight was for training purposes|
and not intended as a record
brecking attempt, it was consid
ered best to land the blimp be
fore its fuel and provisions were
entirely depleted.
Fourteen officers and men
aboard the XMI were reported
by Navy doctors to be in good
physical shape after the long
flight which took the blimp off
the Atlantic coast and over the
Gulf of New Mexico on patrol|

The crew is quartered in a}

,On Most Paints
| WASHINGTON, Nov. 4—(AP)
—OPA raised prices of most paints
[ today by 31 cents to $1.30 a gallon.
| Agency officials also said soap
prices must be increased or de
controlled.
The increase on paints was
granted because of higher costs
of linseed oil which was freed from
price ceilings Oct. 29.
Most of the products that go in
to soaps also have been decon
trolled.
The paint increases are effective
today at the manufacturers’ level

‘Traffic Handling
Praised, Chief
0f Police Asserts
{ “Upwards of 60,000 people
‘mith 25,000 visiting automobiles
{ cameg to Athens last Saturday,
| attended the Georgia-Alabama
i football game and despite the
Irain and slippery streets, got
|away to their homes without a
| single serious wreck,” Chief of
| Police E. Weldon Wood announc=
{ed today. !
| “Many citizens have praised
§the way we handled the traffic,”
{ Chief Wood said. “And we are
| proud of %)e success that met our
| pre-arranged plans for taking
{care of the situation.”
! The Chief said that forty-five
| additional traffic policemen, in
cluding membe:s of the State
Highway Patrol and twenty
members of the Athens Police
| Department, “did a good job.
jln some spots it might have
ibeen improved on, but we must
{lemember that Athens was host
i Saturday for the biggest football
| crowd, in the history of the State
of Georgia. We had twenty-five
taousand automobiles here more
than the cars of Athens citizens.
It takes twenty-five thousand
cars a long time to clear away,
especially when a large num-=
ber of them want to go in the
same direction.”
Even the traffic toward the
Atlanta highway was handled
in such a way as not to warrant
unfounded criticism. And I do
not - believe that photographs
taken from the air will hélp
handle traffic because the photo
‘graplas will not decrease the
number of cars and it is the large
number of cars in a small area
that makes traffic slow-moving.
No Accidents Here
