pight at a Dutch outposi near
Ambarawa, just south of Semar
ang of north central Java repor
teq that “the cease fire is a real
ity in this front line sector.”
«There is no shooting of any
kind by either side,” Desfor’s dis

want appointed to supervige the
the United Nations Security
Council’s cease fire directive—to
see that Dutch troops withdraw
to the demarcation lines irom
which they jumped off July 20.
What's Y our Guess
At Local Weather?
]
No,You're Wrong
If you guessed what the highest
temperature in Athens for the past
twenty four hours Wwas, chances
are almost 100 to 1 you'd guess
wrong.
The maximum was NOT in the
high nineties. It wasn’t even 'in
the nineties at all. It was a
measly 89—ten degrees below the
high in Atlanta.
U. S. Weather Observer E. S.
Sell said that Athens for the past
two days has run about ten de
grees lower than Atlanta, day
before-yesterday, registering only
ninety.
Mr. Sell said that he thought it
was hotter Monday than his gov
ernment thermometer registered
and so he checked the first ther
mometer with the other mercury
recorder and both stood at 89.
“Must have been the humidity
ythat made it feel so hot in the aft
ernoon. And, of course the morn
ing was pretty heavily overcast,”
he said.
Monday’s low was 72, Mr. Sell
reported and his rainfall guage
showed .01 inch.

DETROIT, Aug. 5. — (AP) — The CIO United Auto
Workers, in an agreement averting their Ford Motor
Company strike scheduled for today, were given a year’s
grace from strike damage suits under the Taft-Hartley
labor law.
This the company agreed to in
an eleventh-hour pact which serv
ed to keep 107,000 .production
workers on the job as a nation
wide walkout set for noon, was
called off.
The agreement, under which the
union - and company will under
take mutually to settle their dis
pute growing from the act’s
penalty provisions, protects the
union for a period of a year from
the date a new contract is sigh
ed.
A joint company-union state
ment announcing the agreement
averting the strike was made pub
lic at 4:30 a. m. (Eastern Standard
Time), less than €ight hours ahead
of the strike deadline.
The statement said the union
would not be held liable for breach
of contract “because of any strike
or work stoppage” during the
year’s period.
In addition, the UAW-CIO was
given the “right to strike’”’ on the
issue if no solution were forth
coming after “a year of delibera
tion and negotiations.”
Negotiations on other contract
issues, including the reported $20,-
000,000-a-year workers’ pension
plan, will resume Thursday, both
sides said.

work will begin on the installation
of a water main on Waddell Ex

Elliott Says He's In Probers’
Spotlight Because & Father
ASSERTS PROBERS HAVE OVERLOOKED
GIFTS BY CONTRACTORS TO OTHERS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. — (AP) — Elliott Roosevelt
contended today that Republican senators, imvestigating
entertaining by war contractors, have directed their in
quiry at him because he is ‘“‘the son of the President” and
passed over gifts by contractors to other Army officers.
Kenneth F. Guest
" "
Council Candidate;
¥
Burch Withdraws
Kenneth F. Guest, well known
young business man, today said
he will be a candidate for City
Council from the Fourth Wagd in
the City Democratic Primary to
be held in November. Mr. Guest
said his formal announcement will
be made as soon as the date for
the primary is set by the County
Democratic Executive Committee.
“While I have not completed the
platform upon which I will cam
paign, there is one plank I am
determined will be included. That
is to bend every effort to provide
for the establishment of a traffic
division in the Police Department
to the end of giving Athens the
expanded law enforcement and
protection to which they are en
titled,” Mr. Guest said.
Also announced today was the
withdrawal of Dick Burch from
the race for Councilman from the
Fourth Ward. Mr. Burch, who an
nounced in Sunday’s paper, said
he did so after being urged by
many friends and without dis
cussing the matter with members
of his family. “When I told them
of my decision to be a candidate
for Council they were opposed to
me entering politics. Therefore, I
am taking this means of with
drawing my candidacy and thank
ling the many friends who have
offered me their support.”
i s Shtiow Dy .(i
" I intend to conduct an active
campaign for Councilman from
the Fourth Ward,” Mr. Guest said,
“and some time in the near future
I will make public the full plat
form upon which I am asking elec
tion. T think, in, justice to the
voters, that any candidate for pub
lic office should let the people
know for what he stands in order
that they can correctly judge the
qualifications of the various can
didates.
“If elected to Council I do not
intend to serve the Feurth Ward
alone, although that is where my
chief interest will lie. I think that
all members of Council should be
duly diligent in seeking develop
ment of their home ward, but not
io the exclusion of the welfare of
Fthe city as a whole. I believe that
improvements and services should
be placed where they are most
needed and not handed out on a
political basis, and I am asking all
those who agree with that policy
to support my candidacy,” he
said. 5
Mr. Guest is a native of Athens
and has been a resident of the
Fourth Ward all of his life with
the exception of one year and the
time he spent in the service. He
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. H.
Guest and after graduation from
Athens High School, attended the
University of Georgia. ‘
He went into service in January
of 1943 with the Naval Air Corps
and spent two years in the Pacific,
being honorably discharged in
March of 1946. His rating in the
Navy was that of Flight Engineer
2-c.
Mr. Guest is a member of Cen
tral Presbyterian Church and of
Allen R. Fleming, jr., Post No.
20 of the American Legion. He is
a past member of Frank Harde
man Chapter, Order of DeMolay,
in which he held several offices.
Co-owner of Guest Printing
Company and a commercial photo
grapher, Mr. Guest is married and
the couple resides at 190 Barber
street. They have one child, nine
teen months old Susan.

; Roosevelt made that statement
in ‘a sharp tiff with Chairman
I'erguson (R-Mich) of a Senate
' War Investigating subcommit
tee as he testified before the
group for the second straight day.
It is “very peculiar” Roosevelt
told the committee that he had
been “singleq out for the first
"biare of publiciy” when he gnew
that the committee had collected
a vast amount of evidence about
gifts by war contractors to other
army officers.
. The committee is investigating
ths wartime award of some $40,-
000.000 in airplane contracts to
@lewardv Hughes, Pacific Coast
airplane designer and movie pro
ducer,
Company records showed John
W. Meyer, publicity man for
Hughes, had reporwd spending
over $5,000 during war years on
entertainment of young Roose
velt and his friends.
Roosevelt hag denied many of
the listed items were spent in
Lis behalf and said he was at
fighting fronts at the time some
of the expenditureg were made.
He acknowledged, however that
he had attended ' parties with
Meyer.
Roosevelt told the senators his
Igromoti(m to Brigadier General
’ uring the war was recommend
ed “against my wishes.”
*“I demanded of Generals
fipaatz, Doolittle and Eisenhower
at it should mnot be sent
through. It was sens through
when I was out of the theatre
and against my wishes.’
.:"Roosevelt entered the army as
captéin and rose to brigadier
3 eral,
The question of hi§ rapid rise
in'rank was brought up yesterday
by - Senator Brewster (R-Me),
during the committee’s question
ing of Roosevelt about his part
in award of wartime airplane
contracts to Howarq Hughes.
. Brewster said that at the time
,Roosevelt’s nomination to be a
brigadier general wag submitted
to the Senate in January, 1945,
“I was told by one of the mem
bers of the Senate” that Gen.
George C. Marshall, then Army
Chief of Staff, had tolg a com
mittee he twice previously had
sent back young Roosevelt’s nom
ination.
Before he resumed testimony
in the Senate War Investigating
committee’s inquiry into Hughes’
veartime plane contracts, Roose
velt told a reporteq he intends to
challenge “ a great many” of
Meyer’s * expense vouchers.
The late president’s second son
laid the ground work yesterday
for such a defense against any
contention that his party-going
with Meyer might have influenc
ed his recommendation that the
Army Air Forces buy Hughes'
F-11 photo reconnaissance plane.
With Meyer slumped in a sec-\
ond witness chair next to him,‘
the former brigadier general tes
tified that he was in combat in‘
Europe from Oct. 10 to Nov. 3,
1944, when Meyer turneq in anl
expense voucher for a $499 New |
York hotel bill with the indica
tion it was incurred in entertain
ing Roosevelt. ¥

Among other Things, Elliott tes
tified during his first session on
the stand that:
1. He did not want to return
to the United States i 1943 be
cause if he came home to “sit the
war out in the Pentagon” it would
give his father’s enemiees “a great
opportunity to smear him.”

With contract in hand, Jack

Junior Chamber of Commerce,
announced today that the Jaycees
would sponsor a dance on Tues
day, August 12, at Woodruff Hall,
from 9 to 1 o’clock. Ted Weems,
of “Heartaches” fame, has ar
ranged with the Jaycees to ren

With the unfortunate non-ap
pearance of Skinnay Ennis stil}
in mind, Mr, Paschal said, “We
are certain .that that situation
will not happen this time. The
Music Corporation of America
has given us full assurance ‘that
there is no conflict of dates in
the contract with Ted Weems
and his orchestra’.”
Featured - with the ‘“Heart
aches” orchestra is Elmo Tanner,
nationally famous whistler; Billy
Blair, prominent for his bass and
novelties; and that lovely bru
nette vocalist, Shirley Richards.
Tanner, widely acclaimed for his
whistling, ‘has been with the
Weems* orchestra since the early
thirties.

The Weems troupe has varied
its outstanding engagements from
New York’s Waldorf Astoria to

reached the top rank of hits.
Although he did not compose
«Heartaches,” Ted has composed
several other hit tunes, including
that all-time favorite, “MarfM\&

A. B. C. Paper—Single Copy, 5¢
JACKYON, Miss., Aug. 5.— (AP) —Mississippi’s new
primary laws, admittedly passed to assure “white” state
elections, will be tested for the first time in today’s Dem
ocratic primary in which some 6,000 negroes are expected
to participate. :
Under the laws passed last
March at a special session of the
Legislature, prospective voters
must certify agreement with party
;principles as set forth by the State
‘Democratic Executive Committee.
‘ The principles as announced by
the committee include opposition
to a Federal Fair Employment
Practices Commission and Federal
Anti-Poll Tax and Anti-Lynching
Legisiation. Voters also must swear
‘accord “with the time-honored and
‘cherished traditions of the South.”
President T. B. Wilson of the
Mississippi Progressive Voters’
League, who estimated that about
half of the 12,000 registered
negroes in the state would at
tempt to vote, said members of
his organization were advised to
create no disturbance at the polls
should their vote be challenged.
“The members of our organiza
tion have been advised to agree
to the party principles because we
believe, as the party believes, in
states rights,” Wilson said. “We
believe that such things as the
F-E-P-C, poll tax and lynching
laws, should be left to the states.”
Chairman Herbert Holmes of
the State Democratic Executive
Committee, said that “some
whites are going to be challenged.”
Meet, Ruies
‘“We shall expect the law to be
followed and for either whites or
negroes to be challenged if they
do not meet all requirements of
the law,” Holmes said, adding:
“The question is not whether a
man is black or white, but
whether he meets the require
ments,”
