American observers found in
creased antagonism being express
ed openly against the United
States and the American military
government. AMG officials said
'they sensed that the American
zone’s German political leaders
‘had “little hope in the future.”
- As British Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin met with Hhis top
advisers, an appeal went out from
the British zone to former Presi
dent Herbert Hoover, telling him
that the indusrial Ruhr valley was
threatened with chaos. w
“Unless energetic help comes
soon there will be no German men
ready to assume political jobs,”
the British-Licensed Telegraf
quoted Dr. Rudolf Amelunxen,
minister-president of North-Rhein-
Westphalia, as telling Hoover in
the message. “Then chaos will
threaten the Ruhr area in she
heart of Europe.”
Beg For Help
Begging for help, Amelunxen
told Hoover “it is a matter of
saving millions from starvation.”
The Birtish-sponsored German
press service reported from
Duesseldorf that the local British
commander in the Rhein-Wup
pertal district had sent a personal
letter to Bevin warning that a gen
eral collapse was virtually inevit
able unless the food situation was
improved.
Bevin probably will indicate at
a cabinet meeting tomorrow what
steps might be taken to tackle the
situation in the British zone, a
foreign office spokesman said in
London. i
Most responsible German lead
ers in the U. S. zone agreed with
American authorities that the
basic solution of the crisis was an
increase in production, both agri
cultural and industrial. But the
Germans were said to be insist
ing that this could not be realized
without more support from the
United States, even now spending
more in Germany than any other
occupation power.

to be sent to the two countries to

Ground Director
President Truman thus far has
given no indication of his choice
for top director of the program,
although it is generally understood
that Ambassador Edwin C. Wil
son will direct the on the ground
expenditure of $100,000,000 in
strictly military aid to Turkey.
The $300,000,000 remainder to
be ?ent to help Greece, will be

2 More Important
Confessions In
§. C. Lynch Case
GREENVILLE, S. C., May 14—
(AP)—Two more purported con
fessions from defendants were in-~
troduced today in the mass trial
of 31 men charged with the lynch
slaying of negro Willie Earle, one
of them identifying R. Carlos
Hurd, sr., as carrying a shotgun.
A statement by Hubert Carter
said Hurd carried a shotgun as the
crowd seized the negro in the
Pickens county jail.
Carter said he did not see the
actual slaying of Earle. He named
Carlos Rector, a defendant, as one
of the men who demanded that
Pickens Jailer J. Ed Gilstrap, turn
the negro gver to them. g
When the crowd stopped in
front of a rural slaughter house,
Carter’s statement said, he heard
two shots. t
The state charges Hurd with be
ing the mob’s trigger man.
Kiwanis Urges Five
Year License Sale
Athens Kiwanians have voted
to wholeheartedly support the
sale of the five-year drivers li
censes in order to help raise
funds for maintaining a School
of Veterinary Medicine at the
University here ang have asked
all Kiwanians in the state to do
likewise.
In a letter sent by D, L, Wed
dell, president of the local club,
to the sixty-seven other Kiwanis
Clubs in the state and to the ten
District officials, it is pointed
out:
“The Board of Directors of the
Athens Kiwanis Club have voted
unanimously to back the sale of
5-year car licenses, in order to
secure funds for the Veterinary
School now located at the Uni
versity of Georgia.
“The livestock industry of the
state is becoming more and more
important every year and to have
a successful livestock industry
requires the services of trained
veterinarians. G e
“We ask the help of all Kiwan
jans in sponsoring the 5-year li
cense plan and we suggest two
means of furthering the sale:
(1), every Kiwanian to buy a 5=
year license, and (2) the Kiwan
ians to recommend to others the
purchase of these licenses.
«We will appreciate your help
in this plan.”
The five-year licensn sells for
(Continued On Page Two)
bill seemed likely to gain Senate
approval without major changes,
despite a previous House vote to
cut this fund to $200,000,000. The
larger sum contemplates $50,000,-
000 for Greece in addition to the
money provided in the stem-Com
munism measure.
Senator McClellan (D-Ark),
told a reporter he may offer an
amendment barring any relief to
Russia and seven other nations he
described as “clearly dominated
economically and politically” by
the Soviets.
Expected passage of the -bill by
the Senate would throw it into a
Conference Committee of the two
Houses for a battle over several
important provisions.
Besides cutting the amount in
volved, the House voted to ban
relief to any Communist-domina
ted couniries uniess there is on
the-ground American supervision
of the distribution of supplies.

Truce In Sight
For Western
Electric Strike
WASHINGTON, May 14.—(AP)
—Government conciliators called
unioh and -Western Electric Com~
pany officials back into session
today with renewed hope of set=
tling a strike which began April
b+
New wage offers by both sides
were described as ‘a turning
point in our negotiations” by
Ernest Weaver, president of the
Association of Communication
Equipment Workers.
The ACEW, a nationwide union
of 20,000 installation workers, and
the Western Eleciric Employes
Association, representing 22,000
workers in 21 plants, are involved
in the talks. Western Electrie is a
major unit in the Bell Telephone
System. o
The company . made its first
wage offer to the ACEW last
night_and the union modified its
demands. Although neither offer
was accepted, it appeared that
the negotiators were closer to
gether than at any time since the
walkout began.
S. P. Schwartz, labor l'elatkmsl
manager for Western Electric's’
installation division, said the
company offered inecreases rang
ing from $2.40 10 -$3:20 a ‘week
plus an average of $1.03 in “spe
cial” payments, ,totaling $3.43 to
$4.23 a week depending on the
region involved.
New Demand
Weaver said the union’s new
demand is for a wage formula
permitting an employee to go
from $1 to $2.05 an hour in six
years instead of the five years
previously asked. Weaver de
clined to estimate what this
would mean in wage increases,
Meanwhile a federal concilia-;
tor ‘at Detroit announced an
agreement to settle a strike byJ
5,600 plant workers against the
Michigan Bell Telephone Com
pany. Terms were kept secret
pending a ratification vote by
union members,
In San Francisco another con
ciliator announced settlement of
the strike against the “five-state
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
Company, also subject to ratifi
cation.
Officials of the National Fed
eration of Telephone Workers
said before the Michigan and
West Coast settlements that 175,-
000 of the original 340,000 strik
ers against the Bell System were
still off the job, plus an. unesti
mated number of others who re
fuse to cross picket lines of
NFTW affiliates which have not
yet settled.
In Jacksonville, Fla., union
telephone operators passed
through Western Electric picket
lines today as they returned to
work on regular shifts following
a “back io work” vote taken yes
terday.
The workers said the return
was orderly and this was echoed
by phone officials.
Union leaders had urged the
operators to continue to observe
picket lines but the workers ig
nored this, saying they were
still for Western Electric “100
percent but we will be able to
give them more financial help by
returning to work.”

CAMOUFLAGED BOMB
JERUSALEM, May 14.—(AP)
—Thirty persons were detained
for questioning today after an
unexploded bomb, camouflaged
with netting and leaves, was
found in a tree fork near the
Military Courts Building in Jeru
salem. :
The portal bill grew out of the
floed of back pay suits which at
neé time involved claims totaling
more than $6,000,000,000. Many
‘these since have been with
n ang virtually none has
been pressed since the Key case

ers at Mount Clemens, Mich.—

P ‘The bill would outlaw most
suits still on court dockets and
;w‘guld ban nearly all future suits
for so-called portal pay.
. 'The general impression among
congressional, Democrats was
that Mr. Truman might sign the
bill, despite Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach’s opposition to it.
But there was the liklihood
that such an approval would be
accompanied by presidential crit_
icism that the bill. is unneces
sa;'ily harsh in the wage and hour
laws,
Schwellenbach has said he
would not oppose a bill which
dealt only with pending claims.
But outlawing future suits as
well, the Secretary contended,
BULLETIN
WASHINGTON, May 14—
{AP) — Pregident Truman
:l:ned into law today legisla
ion banning portal pay suits
and sent Congress a fresh re
fuest that it raise the mini
mum wage of 65 cents an
hour.
In a message to the legisla
fors, the President:
1. Emphasized that he was
signing the portal bill because
he believed it in “the interest
| of eeonomic stability” that
1 . both business and the govern
- ment be relieved of the poten
tial liability for billions of
dollars. But he said there were
defects in the measure and
asked that Congress remedy
them.
2. Asked again that Congress
. raise the statutory minimum
wage from 40 (o 65 cenis an
hour.
3. In effect, prodded business
to reach wage agreements
with workers and reduce
prices,
T
could cripple enforcement of the
Tair Labor Standards Act.
As for labor disputes legisla
tion, Senator Taft (R-Ohio( said
the conference committee will get
together as soon as possible, but
that it may be two weeks before
a compromise is reached on the
‘widely differine House and Sen
ate bills.
~ Taft who heads the Senale
‘conferees, told reporters his group
intends to fight for acceptance of
the Senate measure without ma
jor chance.
Rep. Hartley (R-NJ), chief of
the House conference delegates,
indicated that the senators may
net run into a big trap on this.
“Bill of Rights”
- While terming the Senate
measure not too bad as it stands,
Hartley said he thinks it could be
improved by tacking on such
House provisions as the bans on
mass picketing and violence on
picket lines and the section title
a “Bill of Rights” for labor. The
New Jeirsey Republican said he
wants a bill “strong enough to
override a veto.” L
Senator Ellender (D-La) an
other conferee, said that requires
acceptance of the Senat, measure
“without fundamental revision.”
Ellender calculateq that from
10 to 14 senators who voted yes
yesterday would refuse to vote
against a veto if the measure
were toughened in the confer
ence.
| _The Louisiana senator said the
Senate “absolutely” woulq over
ride a veto if the final version
contains none of the more far
reaching House surbs.
. Democrats have said privately
that Mr. Truman had been urged
to approve the portal pay bill in
an effort to offset the political
repercussions of any labor Dbill
veto.
~ Passage of the portal measure
was prompted by the wave of
suits which followed a Supreme
Court ruling last June that work
ers are entitleq to pay for all
time they are required to spend
on employers’ premises regardless
ofi. whether thevy are engaged in
productive activities,
: Trifling Cases
The court excepted cases where
the amount claimeq was “trif
ling.” It was this point that led
to eventual dismissal of the
Mount Clemens case.
Here are the main provisions
of the bill:

future claims are outlawed un
less covered by a wage contract
or industry custom.
2. A two-yedr time limit after

Economy Drive To
Be Pressed By
Georgia Governor
ATLANTA, May 14—(AP)—
Heads of State Departments had
orders from Governor M. E.
Thompson today to sharpen the
economy knife and prune their
payrolls still further.
The QGovernor held a private
conference late yesterday with
Highway Director John Beasley
and was understood t 6 have told
‘him his economy efforts so far
were unimpressive,
Earlier Thompson told a news
conference that 25 of Georgia's
176 Highway “inspectors” had
been dismissed for economy rea
sons and that he was demanding
still heavier pruning of the state
payroll.
Thompson said the name of the
dismissed inspectors would be
‘made public, but he decline® to
set a specific date. On April 12
it was disclosed that the number
of Highway inspectors was near-
Iy double that of 1946. Among
the inspectors were several well
known political figures.
Thompson told his news con
fdrence that !department heads
had been instructed that their
payrolls are public records and
added that reporters “are at per
fect liberty to ask department
heads for information on person
nel.”
“The people are entitled to
know which departments are eco
nomizing and the degree to which
economy Is being put into effect
by various department heads,”
Thompson said.
The Highway Department has
releaséd 54 persons since Jan. 20,
Thompson said. There was no re
port on voluntary resignations,
and the Governor said it would
be incorrect to apprajse the net
reduction in Highway personnel
until these were in hand. The
Department is known to have
hired than 100 persons sinc, Jan
uary 20, but many of these were
replacement personnel.
Labor Influence On Capital Hill At
Lowest Point In More Than Decade
WASHINGTON, May 14 —
(AP) — Organized labor’s influ
ence with Congress stood at its
lowest point in more than a de
cade today.
There are strong indications
that stern curbs on union activi
ty may be written into law even
over a possible presidential veto.
The 68 to 24 vote by which the
Senate yesterday approved its
bill providing for extensive regu
lation of organized labor’s acti
vities almost exactly matched
the percentage by which the
House on April 17 voted a much
more stringent measure.
In the House, opponents cast
258 per cent of the 308 to 107
vote in the Senate, they register
ed 26 per cent.
This core of support, represent.
ing only about one fourth of the
membership of the Houses, mark
a sharp decline from the days
when unions could stop almost
any legislation they regarded as

UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY MAY HEAR
ARAB'S PLEA FOR INDEPENDENCE
Probe Threatened By Possible Arab
Walkouts And Refusal To Cooperate
NEW YORK, May 14.—(AP)—The Arab states were
expected to carry their fight for Palestine independence
to the floor of the United Nations General Assembly to
day. i = I‘ws§'M“|
As the delegates gathered for
the plenary session at lushing
Meadows at 11 a. m. (EDT), a
threat that the Arabs might walk
out of the discussions and refusée
to cooperate with the U. N. Pales
tine inquiry commission hung!
over the Assembly. |
But most delegates, instead, ex~
pected the Arab states lo protest
formally the decisions taken by
the Assembly’s 55-nation political
committee and then abstain from
voting on them.
The principal Arab grievance
was the failure of the Political
Committee to list independence
for Palestine among the objec
tives in view in setting up the
special inquiry commission,
The Political Committee yester
day established an 11-nation in
quiry group without Big Five
representation to investigate the
Palestine situation and report
back to the regular session of the
Assembly in September.
Defeat Red Plan
Earlier, the committee had de
feated a Russian proposal aimed
at creating an independent Pales
tine state, possibly within six
months.
Once approved by the Assem
bly, the 11-nation inquiry com
mission is expected to leave for
Pzalestine to begin its investiga
tion and study of the explosive
Holy Land situation.
The comn'siss‘i‘zn is composed of
Czechoslovakia, Canada, The
Netherlands, Peru, Uruguay, Iran,
Sweden, Yugoslavia, Guatemala,
Australia and India. |
Under its instructions, the com
mission has a free hand to con
‘sider, all possible solutions of the
Paiestine probiem without any
special reference to the independ
ence .questions. ‘
Perhaps as an indication of
events to come, Dr. Charles Ma
lik of Lebanon declared after the
comrpittee’s decisions that he re
served the position of his gov-{
ernment on the whole Falesiine
matter before the Assembly. }
The other Arab states took|
similar views and said they'
would either vote against the
committee’s decisions in the As-'
sembly or abstain. :
Chinese Students
Abduct 45-Car Train
SHANGHAI, May 14—(AP)—
Two thousand students who cap-~
tured a freight train and drove it
off toward Nanking, tying up ser
vice on the Shanghai-Nanking
railway for 18 hours, came home
today—by bus.
They had won most of their de
mands for curriculum changes at
Chiaotung University, and the
railway people had their freight
train back, all 45 cars of it.
The students were mad be
cause police and soldiers last week
beat up some of them who were
demonstrating against changing
the name of the school and elimi
nating some courses from the cur
riculum.
They were bent on carrying the
matter to the government at
Nanking. |
Failing in that, they could mus
ter the needed support to sustain
a veto. This was demonstrated
when the House failed 11 months
ago to override President Tru
man’s veto of the Case labor dis
pute bill.
The prospect that this year’s
expanded version of the Case bill
finally will find its way into the
law books was enchanceq — but
by no means assured — in the
Senate’s vote resterday.
Compromise Version
In the first place, a Senate-
House conference committee
must work out a compromise ver
sion. If it follows the tough form
that many House members would
like. leaders unquestionably will
be able tc force its acceptance by
both houses. But the chances that
it would be vetoeq by President
Truman would be increased,
A milder edition, more in line
with that approved by the Senate,

I Period Costumes
| Costumed in period dress dating

The lower floor of the elaborate

was decorated for the event and
the grounds were opened to the
public. The house is a beautiful
example of the type of Greek Re
vival architecture that is most
often associated with New Orleans
and Charleston.
Two garden tables and an out
of-door child’s table were ex
hibited on the grounds.
Three old carriages were brought = -

| But if he vetoes the measure
he finally receivs, Capitol = Hill
undoubtedly will witness the
most intensive campaign in years
by organized lobar and adminis

This campaign apparently
would be aimed at the Senate
which has shown it is not as
tough-minded as the House.
If the same number of Sena
