at lengih on %ie state’s press, his
inaugural in January and the
policies he expects to pursue
while addressing a “Jim Folsom
Day” crowd in his home town of
Cullman yesterday.
He took a dim view of the
newspapers, declared they “do
not accept my policies,” and
added: i
“Only five aceepted (my poli
cies) waen I was a candidate,
and the lying newspapers of this
state do not accept them now.
“They are not going to tell me
what I am going to do or how I
shall make my appointments.
They were lying during %ae cam
paign and they will be lying for
the next four years.”
He said he planned to make
reports “directly to the people’
during his term’ ang .asked his
audience not to be swayed by
newspaper criticism of him.
__Turning to iis inaugural, he
freely invited everyone in the
state to attend it, and saig “you
can come in your overalls if you
wish.”
“The theme of my inaugural
will be youth and education,”
the lanky incoming chief execu
tive said. “We are going to have
%0 strawberry pickers (a Hill
billy band) and a street dance.”
He then made an outline of
his contemplated policies. Among
these were plans for a ‘“decen

Georgia Banks Are
Gited For Their
Agricultural Aid
For the sixteenth consecutive
year the banks of Georgia have
received the 1000 point award
which is made annually by the
Agricultural Commission of the
American Bankers Association,
according to J. S. Wolfe, assis~
tant vice - president Citizens &
Southern National Bank, who
represents thie banks in Clarke as
County XKey Banker. Mr. Wolf
was notified that the award was
made today at the A.B.A. Ag
ricultural Commmission meeting,
which is being held at Louisville,
Kentucky.
Each year the A. B. A. Com
mission rates banks in-all of tae
states on the basis of country
bank activities which benefit
agriculture. In | the materical
evaluation of these activities, the
Commission considers work done
by individual banks, and pro
grams which are carried out by
the agricultural committees of
the state bankers associations.
Points are given for “regular”
and “extra” service rendered by
the banks.
I “Georgia banks treceived na
|tional recognition,” Mr. Wolfe
said, “for their work in m'%romot
ing activities of farm youth €lubs,
particularly boys’ youth clubs
ang Future Farmers of America.
The Georgia Bankers Association
has dlso done mudi constructive
work in aiding the farmeérs of
the state to establish stock and
dairy herds and to increase ag
ricultural incomes (through di
versified production. One of the
outstanding statewide projects
Ihas been the setting up of ‘yard
sticks’ or standarq soil conser
vation practices, and providing
for the issuing of eertificates to
farmers who have been success
fu] in this work.
“The ‘regular’ services in
which Georgia banks compare
well with banks in other states
include the extension of ade
quate credit for the production
of crops and the promotion of
cultivation of new crops to widen
the sources of farm income. i
“Ano¥ier important part of
the 1000 point rating program is
the work being done in each
community to aid returning war
veterans who wish o establish
themselves in the farming busi-,
ness. Notable success has also
been achieved by banks in sup
porting farm . youth activities
such as the 4-H Clubs and Fu
ture Farmers of America, and
the attempt which has been made
by the banks to encourage every
farm boy and girl to undertake
one" project.

much favorable publicity for

16—(AP)—The Big Five powers

bitter battle over the veto out of
the hands of the United Nations
Assembly and try for private
agreement on modifications after
presenting a solid front against
changing the charter.:
Following up’a British call for
consultations among the major
countries next Monday France
asked te politcal committee to
suspend the debate that has
brought the special voting right
under continuous barrage from
the smal] nations.
British sources said the Monday
meeting would go on regardless
of the disposition of the French
proposal and declared assurances
to attend had been received from

odi lined up with the other big
powers in opposing any revision
of th, charter but called for im
provement of the wrocedure of
voting in the security council .
,Now all of the five major pow
ers except Russia have taken the
position that the council itself
should limit the use of the veto
to rare and exceptional cases.
The Soviet union has not indi
cated its willingness to approve
even: modifications and clarifica
tions, but JForeign Minister V.

vitation to confer raised® hopes
that eventual agreement might
be reached o satisfy all the 51
nations. :

to revise ‘the charter “might un
dermine: the very foundations of
our orgnization.” . .

ALL COAL IN STOCK AND FUTURE
PRODUCTION NOW UNDER CONTROL
BY NORMAN WALKER
WASHING’IjON, Nov. 16.— (AP) —A drastic govern
ment order froze the nation’s meager soft coal supplies
and placed them under rationing today as John L. Lewis
stood pat on the challenge which threatens a strike at
midnight Wednesday.
Going far beyond the freeze or
der issued at the time of the
bituminous strike last spring, the
government seized control not only
of future coal production but also
of all stocks now in transit and
in dealers’ yards. It will be doled
out only to utilities, railroads,
ships, hospitals, laundries, , food
plans and householders having less
than ten days’ supply on hand.
As the government prepared for
the worst, Lewis ignored the ad
ministration’s second appeal for a
60-day truce and its pointed warn
ing that he has no legal grounds
for terminating the miners pre
sent contract.
Members of the operators’ ne
gotiating committee, who had
agreed to the administration pro
posal for negotiations with Lewis,
took Lewis’ refusal at its face and
scattered to their homes.
A high government official re
ported privately that the adminis
tration has not decided what
further steps to take.
The freeze of the coal supplies,
effective as of noon today, was
in three orders. One covered coal
in transit and that which may be
produced hereafier, estimated to
come to 8,500,000 tons by midnight
Wednesday with normal produc
tion. Another covered all coal in
shipment on the Great Lakes or
other waterways, including tide
water shipments not affected by
earlier freeze orders. The third
covered all coal in retail yards.
None. of this coal may be dis~
tributed to consumers from now
on except upon permission of the
Solid Fuels Administration. This
agency authorized its area and re
gional representatives to issue
special coal supplies sparingly.
Stocks on hand are estimated to
amount to a 37-day supply under
normal’ consumption, compared to
a 42-day supply on hand 4t the
time of the strike last spring.
The freeze covers only soft coal.
Anthracite may be . distributed
normally.
Reports from the bituminous
coal fields in Pennsylvania indicat
ed that some miners fear the pros
pect of pay losses during a walk
out with the Christmas approach
ng.
Midnight Wednesday, is the
hour Lewis has fixed for “ter
mination” of his contract with the
government. Secretary of the In
terior Krug and Attorney General
Clark hold that contract cannot be
terminated by Lewis and that the
miners are legally bound to con
tinue work.
Krug, some officials said, is
considering going over Lewis’ head

EMPLOYMENT SERVICE GONTROL
IS TURNED OVER TO STATES
' WASHINGTON, Nov. 16—(AP)
—Approximately $8,000,000 was
allocated today by the Labor De
‘partment to the states for opera
‘tion of the Employment Service
‘until the end of the calendar year.
Return of the service to the
states by the Federal government
which 123,000 employes went off
the Federal payroll Friday night
and start as state employes Mon
day morning. ;
Announcing the allocations, Fed~
eral Director Robert C. Goodwin
said all state operating plans had
been approved by the uses, some
however, with reservations.
“This was done,” he said in a
statement, “to effect a prompt re
turn of the local offices to. the
states and thus avoid any break in
the'services offered veterans, other
job applicants, employers and the
‘general public.
“In those cases where plans were
approved with reservations, it was
‘not possible to clear up unresolved
questions Nov. 16, the date of re
turn to the states. These details
will be worked out in cooperation
with the states affected.”
Secretary Schwellenbach, saying
the Employment Service has made
‘enormous advances” in the variie‘-
ty and quality of service and in
standing with the public since its
inception in 1935, declared:
“I am confident the gains made
during the war and the reconver
sion period will be be retained
under the federal-state relation
ship.” |
He said more than 57,000,000
people were employed last month
and that unemployment today is
below 2,000,000 “the lowest figure
since the end of the war.”
The state allocations, with the
number of employes who shift to
the various states in parentheses,
include: : :
Alabama, -$146,400 (410); Geor
gia, $146,400 (410); Mississiopi,

ning the mines for the government
since the White House ° ordered
their seizure six months ago to
end a 59-day strike.
These officials spoke too of pos
sible legal action against Lewis
to enforce the contract.
The coal freeze order covers
coal mined at so-called “captive”
mines, those owned by Steel Com~
panies to furnish fuel for their
industry. Under Krug's order coal
at such mines can be distributed
only by government direction, just
as at other mines.
John D. Battle, executive secre
tary of the National Coal Associa
tion, said in a statement tonight
that it was time to “debunk the
54-hour week talk which Lewis
encourages the public to believe
is the miners’ lot and which he
would have the public believe to
be the explanation for miners’
high weekly earnings average.”
“Lewis, in his letter to Secre
tary Krug,” battle said, “talks
about ‘the brutal 54-hour under
ground schadule of the men labar
ing in the bowels of the earth’
Actually there is not a coal miner
in America who spends 54 hours
per week underground in produc
tive work. Mr, Lewis knows this
too.”
Battle 'said Bureau of Labor
statistics figures showed miners
averaged 43.4 hours work a week
in June, 36 in July and 42.4 hours
in August, all including travel
time. i
“When travel time is subtractea
from these figures,” Battle said,
“the actual productive work time
is well under 40 hours. In the
month of %%ug ta actly,l,work time
is well Uhder ours. In the
month of Augusta, actual hours
worked uhderground averaged out
to 37.7. ;
“There is nothing to be gained
by a distortion of the facts. The
government keeps the records for
all to see.”
As to wages Battle declared that
