Fight To Finish Foreseen:
CHINA GIRDS FOR GIVIL WAR
AS CHIANG BECOMES PREMIER
NANKING, ‘March I.— (AP) —Generalissimo Chiang
Kai-Shek took over the premiership of China tonight and
appeared to be heading his people toward all-out war to
settle the Communist question once and for all, ¢
Chiang assumed the premier
ship eight hours after his brother
ing law, T. V. Soong suddenly re
signed in the face of sharp criti
cism in the legislative Yuan of his
economic policies. |
With Communist delegates un
der orders to get out of govern
ment territory before Wednesday
and the armies of both factions
maneuvering for decisive battles
on fronts stretching from central
China to the heart 6f Manchuria,
Chiang, thus assumed complete
powers in the government at a
time when China’s future appear
ed to be at stake.
Major Shakeup |
Many quarters predicted a ma
jor shakeup in the government.
The Supreme National Defense
Council, - with - Chiang presiding
appointed him acting premier “un
til such time as Soong’s successor
is selected’® Chiang already is
President of thg Republic.
He is expected to announce
shortly. the appointment of Gen.
Chang Chun as vice premier.
Chang returned recently from the
United States, where he obtained
medical treatment and visited
President Truman.
Informed sources said that both
Chang and Sun Fo, president of
the legislative Yuan, had declined
the premiership.
The same sources said Chiang
had determined on Soong’s resx
placement several days ago bes
cause of steadily mounting com?
plaints against Soong’s ineffective
measures to combat the mount
ing inflation. Soong, who had held
high government offices since
1922, had been Premier two years.
While Chiang was Premier sev
eral ‘times during the war with
Japan, his resumption of the post
at this time—giving him direction
of economic as well as political
and military affairs—strengthen
ed a growing conviction in Nank
ing and Shanghai that the Civil
War, long on a restricted level,
was at least moving toward a
finish fight. AT
Despite the strength of the gov
ernment armies, the Communist
leaders professed themselves con
fident of ultimate victories.

RED CROSS DRIVE FOR FUNDS
CETS UNDER WAY HERE MONDAY
By DOROTHY MOORE
The 1947 American Red Cross
Fund Drive will be officially
launched in Athens tomorrow, ac
cording to T. H. Milner and
Robert G. Stephens, jr., fund
chairmen.
The need for a peacetime Red
Cross program is illustrated in
Clarke county daily in the pres
ent demand for service given by
the organization. The heaviest fi
nancial load, as reported by Mrs.
Sallie T. Orr, Executive Secretary
of the Athens Chapter, is - Home
Service expenditures, which ac
count for 75 percent of the total
on all' Red Cross programs for
the year. ¢
The Athens chapter has car
ried out an extensive program
this year, Mrs. Orr ‘said in listing
the services. These include Home
Service, Production, Home Nurs
ing, First Aid, the Junior Red
Cross, and Water Safety
The Home Service program,
which is handled’ by Mrs: Orr,
served 2,163 persons, according to
figures from her records. Nat-.
jonal Red Cross headquarters has
stated that it spent $80,000,000 in
this service alone. This assistance
was in behalf of servicemen at
home and abroad and for veter
ans and their families. -

GOVERNORSHIP
CASE SET FOR
FRIDAY HEARING
ATLANTA, March I.—(AP)—
Georgia’s disputing Governors
will tell it to *the Supreme Court
next Thursday in a final show
down between Herman Talmadge
and Lieut.-Gov.- M. E. Thompson
Decision so the state’s highest
court, which may come before
March 15, will end nearly twc
months of political turmoil in
which rival “governors” have
occupied the capitol.
Three appeals, consolidated in
to a single case, will be heard by
seven black-robed justices. The
court has set a maximum of six
hours oral argument, and ex
pects to conclude the hearing in
one day.
Heart of the dispute is this:
Did Georgia's Legislature exceed
its authority in voiding 143,000
votes cast for the late Eugene
Talmadge as unopposed Demo
cratic nominee for Governor in
1946, and did it err in electing
his son, Herman Talmadge, to a
four-year term as Governor on
the basis of a bare 675 write-in
votes. BRI
(Georgia’s Constitution pro
vides if no person has a major
ity of all vetes for Governor—
the Legislature shall elect from
the two persons with the next
highest number of votes).
“No Person”
Talmadge claimed when his
father died December 21, 1946,
three weeks before inauguration,
he ceased to be a “person” in the
legal sense of the word. Thus, he
said, his own 675 write-in votes—
which Talmadge leaders engi
neered on election day as “insur
ance” in case the elder Talmadge
died — made him next highest
candidate. £ LRy o
The Legislature elected Her
man, but Goverpor- Ellis Arnall
refused to yield his office and re
jected Talmadge as a “preténd;
er} Later, he resigned in favor
of Georgia’s first Lieutenant-
Governor, M. E. Thompson.
In preliminary sparring in the
lower courts, Talmadge won two
rounds and Thompson one.
Superior (Circuit) Judge
Claude Porter, ruling in a sui
brought by Thompson agains!
the Georgia Pardons and Paroles
Board, held Talmadge's election
was illegal and that Thompson
was -rightful Governor. Talmadge
who was not a party to the suit,
condemned it as “collusive.”

The text of his talk follows: l
“It is generally noted that the
movement for a new library fori
Athens is gaining force every day. !
Many public spirited citizens are
working zealously to establish in{
the minds of all the- people the
necessity for a new library build
ing, and the vast importance of
the kind of service a regional li
brary like ours renders to the re
gions it touches.
“A few people have contended
that the schools supply suiiicient|‘
reading material for the average
child. It is obvious that such argu-i
ments are the resuit of lack of in
formation. It should be clearly
pointed out that most school sys
tems have very inadequate li
braries, and the State Education
Department has set up several
separate funds to assist in the de
velopment and maintenance of
public libraries.
“The elementary school library
is comparatively recent, and it
probably will be some time before
the idea is widely accepted. Most
schools have very small libraries
with a limited number of books,
‘and not much system in handling
them. This is often due to lack of
funds to obtain books, and to em=-
ploy a well trained librarian. The
class room bookshelves usually
confine themselves to about 50 or
60 volumess for recreational and
supplementary reading, and few
books for reference reading.

BRITISH CLUB
DEMOLISHED

JERUSALEM, March
(AP) — Nineteen persons
were killed today in a sud
den outburst of Holy Land
violence in which a British
Officers Club in Jerusalem
was demolished, an army
cagp attacked and naval
istallations blown up. The
British clamped a curfew
on Jewish quarters which
some officials regarded as
a step toward imposition of
maftial law.
Sixteen persons were killed
and 17 injured in the Jerusalem
blast,
A British corpora] was Kkilled
and two soldiers wounded when
attackers opened up with ma
ching guns and mortars on a
British army camp near Nathan
ya, between Haifa and Tel Aviv
on the Palestine coast.
Two persons were killed and
two injured when a jeep was
biown up on the Carmei Road in
Haifa. S A
Gen G. A. A. MacMillan, Brit
ish Army Commander in Pales
tine went, by armored car tonight
to the home of Sir Olan Cunning
ham, the High Commissioner.
The move led to speculation that
the two higliest ranking Holy
Lang officials had scheduled an
emergency conference,
Indefinite Curfew
~ The curfew on residents in
Jewish areas instructed them to
remain in their Yhomes from 7 p.
m. “until further notice.”
Irgun Zvai Leumi, the Jewish
underground group, in a radio
broadcast tonight assumed re
sponsibility for the Jerusalem
blast. The attackers crashed
through a bartier in a truck
laden with explosives and tossed
bambg into the ¢lub building in
the heart of modern Je“usalem.
Irgun said the bombing was in
retaliation for British attacks
“on our brothers yesterday at
Haifa in whidh some of our peo
ple were killed” and nlso to prove
to British forces that #aey “can
not escape our soldiers in their
fight for freedom no matter what
elaborate precautions they take.”
Ship Intercepted
Britida sailors earlier this
week ntercepted a Jewish refu
gee ship which ran aground
near Haifa. 'The would-be immi
grants were removed to British
deportation ships, but there were
no reports of casualties to the
immigrants,
Today, during the bloedy vio
lence, 15 vehicles were destroyed
by an explosion anq fire in a
British Naval Car pa~k immedi
ately back of the port in Haifa.
The British information office
first annnounced that four ex
plosions had rocked the oil dock
area, but later withdrew the an
nouncement saying it was based
on an erroneous police report.
Six armed men overpowered
guards in the Naval Car Park
and set off the blasts under the
machines, destroying them, the
British said. Gy o
Previously an army official
had said the Br-itida seamen’s in

JUNIOR ASSEMBLY
FOLLIES DIRECTOR
TO ARRIVE MONDAY
. Charles H. Blake, director of
the Junior Assembly Follies of
1947, arrives in Athens Monday
from his home in Beverly Hills,
Calif., and work will start almost
immediately on the production to
‘be presented the evening of March
22 in the Fine Arts Auditorium,
as one of the social and enter
‘tainment features of the year.
. Director Blake is a southerner
who during the year she has been
away from this section, has risen
high in his chosen field and he
writes that he is looking forward
with pleasurable anticipation to
his stay in Athens.
Tryout party for the Follies will
be held Monday night at the
Athens Country Club, starting at
eight o'clock, at which time Mr.
Blake will personally select the
cast to take part in the presen
tation. Rehearsals are expected to
start the first part of the week.
New Costumes
All costumes and scenery will
be provided by the Jerome H.
Cargill Production Company,
nationally known organizatidn
and one of New York City’s lar
gest concerns in that field. The
costumes will be fresh and new
and among the most colorful that
Athens has ever seen.
Tickets for the Follies are now
on sale and may be secured from
any member of the Junior As
sembly.
Proceeds from the performance,
the first to be presentede by the
Junior Assembly in the last sev
veral years, due to the war, will
be used to support the various
clinics sponsored by the Assem
bly in the Simon Michael II Me
morial Clinic ' Building on the
City Hall lawn.
The clinics, which are held se

been widely praised as being a
w«ital factor in helping raise the
‘health standards in this com
munity, take a considerable
amount of money to operate, cod
liver oil, calcium, and milk and
other supplies being among
necessary items for' the Well
Baby Clinic and Pre Natal Clinic,
with fillings and other dental
items being supplied the Dental
Chinics. No cost is made for these
things to the persons attending
the clinics.

in first place among write-in can

The Legislature’s canvassing
committee first credited Herman
Talmadge with 19 votes from Tel
fair, but later reported finding a
second tally sheet in another en
velope which yrevised his vote to

he was “shocked and amazed”
that former Gov. Ellis Arngll had
dropped Georgia from the “all
important southern (freight) eclass
rate case” which the United States
Supreme Court will begin hearing
Monday.
The Journal published wvphoto
