Prison Camp Trial
"
Reopened; Last Of
ATLANTA, Aug. 12 —(AP)—
T_he case of the eight negro con
victs, shot to death by guards at
& Brunswick, Ga. prison camp
last month, has been re-opened
by the State Board of Corrections
and the camp closed.
The Board acted yesterday to
close the Brunswick camp for ne
groes and a ‘similar highway
work camp for white prisoners
at Charlton, Ga., thus ending
state operation of highway prison
camps. Still in operation, how
ever, there are 89 county road
work camps which are subject to
state supervision.
Action by the Boarq came after
Sam Levine, Brunswick mer
chant and members of the Glynn
county- commissioners, . described
the guards at the camp as “in
competent.”
A special grand jury calleq five
days after the Brunswick slaying
reported the negroes were killed
while attempting to escape.
Levine described the grand
jury action as “white-wash” and
added that the Brunswick camp
was “full of politics. The food
they bought was in politics, the
drugs they bought was in politics
and the functioning of the whole
camp was in polities.”
Levine Denounces Camp
Levine emphasizing that he
spoke as a citizen and not as a
niember of the Glynr: County
Commission, said the county was
an unfit place to rear children
because of the camp’s presence
and that unless it were removed
he would take to the radio and
“tell the people of Georgia the
conditions that exist there.”
The Board authorized the De
partment of Corrections to dis
tribute the 70 negro prisoners at
Brunswick and the 48 white
prisoners at Charlton among
county camps as soon as possible.
Chiei Prison Inspector Walter
Matthews reported to the Board
that _Warden W. C. Rowland of
tte Colquitt County ecamp npear
Moultrie had admitted beating
two white prisoners with a cane
because they “abused” two negro
inmates in nis office.

Alabama Student
Found Dead;
Sheriff Says Murder
TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Aug. 12
—(AP)‘—Sheriff John H. Suther
said he was convinced Miguel
Lopez, 24-year-old University of
Alabama student whose body
was found near the campus yes
terday,was a mudred- victim. -
Lopez, whose home was in
Alajujela, Costa Rica, had com
pleted his sophomore year in the
school of commerce and business
administration in June and was
employed by the Universily in
part-time work during the sum
mer.
Suther estimated that ILopez
was slain Friday night. His body
was found in high weeds beside
a railroad tressle.
The Sheriff said a watch, ring
and the student’s wallet were
missing. He said Lopez appar
ently was slain with a club found
near the body.
Coroner S. T. Hardin, return
ing a verdict of homiclde said
the youth apparently died of a
blow on the. sage.
Lopez was described by his
roommate. Woddrow Evans of
Brewton, Ala., as a “quiet, well
mannered student.” He said Lo
pez planned to return to Costa
Rica after graduation and take
over a drug store operated by his
father at Alajuela.

Balkan Problem
Brought Before 1
Security Council
By Max Harrelson
LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 12— (AP)
—The United Nations Security
Council was called into session to
day {o make another effori to settie
the Balkan problem, but all roads
seemed to be blocked by Russian
opposition.
The delegates made no secret of
their pessimism as they gathered
for the 10:30 a. m. (EDT) session.
This was. the situation they faced:
1. A seven-nation sub-com
mittee was ready to report it had
failed in week-end efforts to re
solve the deadlock between Russia
and the western powers.
2. Australia indicated she
would press for action on her de
mands for a Balkan truce despite
Russia’s declaration that such a
proposal was “unacceptable” to
the Soviet Union.
3. Colombia also was prepared
to push a proposal for creation of
a seven-nation “Conciliation”
Commission, which Russia already
had declared unacceptable.
In the sub-committee delibera
tions, which several delegates call
ed the last hope for agreement,
France submitted a new proposal
‘which offered two - alternative
courses.
These were either to keep the
subsidiary group of the Balkan
Investigating Commission in the
trouble zone and assign a small
group of experts to help it, or to
abolish the subsidiary group and
have Secretary-General Trygve
Lie send a Conciliation Commis
sion to the Balkans.
No Savvy
Soviet Delegate Andrei A.
Gromyko was reported to have
said we “could not understand
part of the proposal” and the part
he could understand was “not ac
ceptable.”
The Australian proposal was a
variation of the “Indonesian for
mula.” Australian Delegate Col.
W. R. Hodgson said this plan had
worked so weéll it should be tried
in the Balkan problem.
The resolution called for Greece,
Albania, Buigaria and Yugosiavia
“to cease all acts of provocation,”
to begin direct negotiations im
mediately and to report back to
the Security Council by Sept. 6.
It also provided for U. N. observers
to keep an eye on developments.
Roberts Appointed
To Fill State Office
ATLANTA, Aug. 12—(AP)—
Governor M. E. Thompson an
nounced DeWitt Roberts will be
appointed Assistant Director of
Conservation, at a salary of $6,000
a year, to fiii a vacancy that has
existed since the #first of the year.
Roberts was one of three men
involved in a political controversy
cut from the state payroll when
the Capitol office of the State
Agricultural and Industrial De
velopment was (abolished yester
day.
Herman Talmadge had charged
that the Capitol - office of the
board was merely a ‘“publicity
bureau” for the Governor. He
criticized Sid Williams, a field
representative for the board, for
holding that post and a full time
job as secretary of the Gerogia
Press Association. The GPA dis
missed Williams last week.
Thompgon said he had “no im~
mediate plans” for Williams or
Basil ‘Stockbridge, who headed
the information bureau of the
board, but intimated they might
be absorbed in other departments
“if there is a need for their ser
vices.”
Remains Of Indian
Village Excavated
COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 12—
(AP‘—Universty of Alabama ar
chaeologists are planning to ex
cavate the remains of an entire
Creek Indian village on the west
banks of the Chattahoochee and
remove them to Tuscaloosa.
Archaeologist Wesley Hurt
said operations at the village,
about three miles form Phenix
City, would begin in about two
weeks. Hurt said ,the site of the
village had been known for some
time, and the decision to exca
vate was prompted by construc
tion of the Chattahoochee Water
way which would inundate the
remains.

After debating the measure
tgroughout the night, the House
of Commons today approved the
Labor Government’s “economic
crisis” bill by a vote of 178 to 64
and sent the message to the
House of Lords for final passage
in time for parliament to adjourn
temorrow night. \
~ The vote on the thirq and last
reading of the bill was completed
at 8:48 a. m. (2:48 a. m. EST),
after the Labor majority had fen
ded off ceaseless opposition ef

endanger the nation’s ‘“hard-won

The debate finally resolved it
self into a struggle against time,
with the government fighting re
lentlessly to win approval cf the
measure before 2.30 p. m. Con
tinuation of the debate beyond
that hour would automatically
have cancelled the day's business
and made it impossible to get the

Princess Hermine
By Army Officials
BERLIN, Aug. 12— (AP) —U,
S. investigators today tabbed the
case of the missing royal jewels
of Princess Hermine, late widow
of Kaiser Wilhelm 11, as a “dizzy
merry-go-round of famfly intri
gue” and said the U. S. Army was
dropping the matter ipto the lap
of German police. .
“We have definitely determined
that no American is involved in
the disappearance of the jewels,”
said O. R. Carlucci, head of the
Army’s Criminal Investigation Di
vigion, “and therefore we have no
responsibility for pursuing the
case any further.”
American authorities also drop
ped technical charges under
which they were holding Fraulein
Vera Herbst, 39, attractive friend
of Hermine’s son, Prince Ferdi
nand.
Ferdinand touched off the mel
odramatic investigation when he
told authorities that 29 pieces of
jewelry were missing from a
priceless collection which Frau
lein Herbst brought him from
Hermine's home in the Soviet oc
cupation zone last June. )
A search for the missing gems
produced a glittering array of
jewelry concealed in the apart-
ments of Ferdinand’s friends and
family, but failed to unearth any
of the missing treasure.

Paraguaya Rebels
Seek Capital;
President Leaves
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 12—
(AP)—Argermtine sources said to
day that Paraguaya’s President,
Higinio Morinigo, had pulled out
of Asuncion yesterday atternoon
for Pilar, near the Argentine bor
der 130 miles south of the Rebel
threatened capital.
The Paraguayan embassy here
could not confirm the report, but
Argentine informants who have
been in frequent contact with the
‘Morinigo government said they
had word of the President’s de
parture directly from Asuncion.
They said Morinigo was accom
panied by his cabinet ministers
and diplomats accredited to Para
guay,
An earlier Associated Press dis
patch from Asuncion said Morinigo
still was in the capital yesterday
morning, when he made a tour of
the city’s defenses. Other informed
sources here said air force and
ground personnel had revolted in
Asuncion during the day and had
seized- both the city’s airports.
These informants said, however,
that all planes previously had been
moved. f
Morinigo’s departure would be
a strong indication that the five
months old Civil War is rapidly
heading for another climax, but
dispatches from Paraguay and
rival communiques did little to
clarify the exact military situa
-fiam;-s».-‘;,...;.zW- T k¥ gs i
No Charge
Refugees reaching Argentina
from Paraguay said the military
situation had not changed since
Sunday, but there was no agree
ment as to what that situation
actually was.
Some informed sources here said
most of the Rebels were at least
25 miles fram Asuncion’s out
skirts, and the Paraguayan em
bassy here denied that the capital
was surrounded by'the Insurgents.
A government communique
issued in Asuncion yesterday aft
ernoon said a loyalist relief
column from the north was fight
ing Rebels around the capital and
that a Garrison. from the city had
wiped out an Insurgent battalion
in a dawn fight south of Asuncion.
It was less than two weeks since
Morinigo’s government jubilantly
announced—on July 31—the cap
ture of the Rebel capital at Con
cepcion, to the north, and qualified
sources said the victory would be
a “death blow” for the Rebellion,
which began March 7. A week
later, the Insurgents were
threatening Asuncion.
Earlier yesterday foreign diplo
mats at Asuncion reported they
were evacuating non-essential per
sonnel and were ready to move if
the government should be trans
ferred tc another place. The
Buenos »ires newspaper El Mundo
said then that Morinigo was plan
ning to transfer his capital to
Pilar.

For Investigation
Of Investigati
stigations
BY JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—(AP)
—One Democratic senator -called
todav for a Senate investigation
of investigations as another said
the decision by a Republican
controlled committee to break off
tue Howard Hughes inquiry gave
the GOP a “political black eye.”
Senator Murray (D.-Mont.) told
a reporter he thinks the war in
vestigating committee’s two weeks
of public hearings inte Hughes’
wartime plane contracts repre
sented “just another example of
offorts to smear every witness
who takes the stand.”
“They didn’t have anything to
go on and were just depending on
sensationalism,” the Montana
senator declared.. “The same
thing has been going on before a
lot of other committees. The Sen
ate cught to make an investiga
tion of tiiese so-called nvestiga
tions.” :
Murray declined to predict his
party’s course, but there. were
indications that. the Democrats
will try again next January to
%ill off the war investigating
group, originally headed by Pres~
ident Truman when he was a
senator.
Hurt Republicans
Although Senator Ferguson
(D.-Mich.) contended that the
Hughes inquiry will go on again
full blast November 17, Senator
Robertson (D.-Va.) said he thinks
Ferguson’s action in abruptly
postponing the case yesterday
hurt the Republicans politically.
Ferguson is chairman of the sub
committee assigned to the Hughes
case,
Senator Pepper ‘fD(-Flm%aaid
he and Senator O’'Conor (D.-Md.),
only other subcommittee mem
bers present, merely acquiesced in
Ferguson’s decision to cAll a
three-month - halt. -
Robertson said it seemed ap
parent to him that the adjourn
ment came because “the show
didn’t turn out as expected.”
“The Republicans got a politi
cal black eye and I don’t think
the circus they put on helped
Congress any,” he said. Neither
Robertson nor Murray is a mgm
ber of the war investigating
group.
Ferguson told a reporter he
wouldn’t answer the Democratic
charges “because this is not a
matter of politics and we are not
aoing to try it in the press and
on the radio.”
Ferguson contended he had
found it impossible to continue
without John W. Meyer as a
witness. Meyer is the portly en
tertainment emissary Hughes said
he hired to improve his public
relations after he found that Air
Corps officers generally “hated”
him.
Meyer disappeared after a com
mittee subpoena for him expired
and after Ferguson said the par
ty-giving publicity man had
agreed to remain on call. Meyer’s
absence, the Michigan senator
contended, made it impossible to
“get all of the facts” about
Hughes' government contract to
construct F-11 photo-reconnais
sance planes.

Trimmed; Heavier
By Ovid A. Martin
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12—(AP)
—Next year’s meat supply hung in
the balance today as the mid
wesiern heat wave trimmed oifi
cial forecasts of corn production
and threatened to ' cause still
further losses before harvest time.
Plagued at planting time by cool
weather and floods, corn now has
run into hot, dry weather which
Agriculture Department, in its
regular monthly crop reportt des
cribed as a “serious threat” to all
crops in the Midwest.
Corn is the key to livestock and
meat production. ; :
« A short crop this year would
affect next year's output of meats
and other livestock products.
However, meat supplies for the
last three or four months of this
year and the early months of 1948
are expected to be large regardless
of how this year’s corn turns out.
The department forecast the
crop as of August 1 at 2,659,959,-
000 bushels, .a decline of about
111,000,000 bushels from its July
15 estimate. The later estimate did
not take into account damage
caused by the hot weather so far
this month.
Officials have said that a corn
crop of about 2,850,000,000 bushels
would be needed to maintain meat
production at this year’s rate of
155 pounds per consumer. They
added, however, that it is highly
improbable that ecorn prospects
would deteriorate enough to drop
meat supplies to the pre-war aver
age of 126 pounds.
Affected most by a- short corn
crop would be livestock farmers in
eastern and southern areas who
depend in full or in part on mid
western grain for their feed sup
plies.
Despite the gloomy corn out-
Joek, -the department -painted a
favorable picture of overall crop
production prospects. Based on
August 1 conditions, aggregate

Harold Treaki, 50,
Confesses To Torso
Slaying, Say Police
DETROIT, Aug. 12— (AP) —
Senior Inspector Marvin Lane of
the Detroit police said early today
that Harold Treaki, 50, had ad~
mitted Kkilling Mrs. Ivy Jean
Treaki, 20-year-old woman iden
tified as his wife, and cutting her,
body into five pieces. . e
Lane said officers obtained ¢
“verbal” statement from Trep.l&
after 11 hours of intensive gues
tioning in. the grisly killing. The
middle-aged " machinist and part
time cook had made no formal
statement, Lane added. P
The husband admitted, accord
ing to Lane, that he struck the
fatal blow between 3:30 and 4p.
m. last Saturday, but insisted he
hit the woman with his fist.
The inspector said Treaki gave
no reason for his action, stating it
would “look pretty crude” on pa
per.
, Mrs. Treaki’s dismembered
body was found in three sections.
Police located a blood-soaked
bundle containing the head and
lower legs early yesterday im a
Third Avenue alley after a close
search of the area where pack

the body had been picked up the
day before, . e e 3
