Vol. 115, No. 184,
PARAGUAYAN REBELS UNDERGO
SHARP DEFEAT FROM LOYALISTS
Crawford Attacks
Glark Price Probe
Proposal For U. S.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13—
(AP)—Rep. Crawford (R-Mich.),
a leading congressional critic of
OPA, today labeled as “fantas
tic” yAttorney !General | Clark’s
order for an investigation into
food, clothing and shelter prices.
The lawmaker said it appears
to him to be aimed at bringing
about a depression at home to
help foreign nations buy more
goods here. He added that Clark
ought to turn his attention to the
adminstration’s fiscal policies
which, Crawford contended, are
the cause of high prices.
The National Federation of
Small Business announced mean
while that Clark’s program is in
line with what that organization
has been urging sh:ce last spring.
George J. Burger, the Federa
tion’s Washington representative,
told newsmen member reports
indicate particular concern over
“growing economic concentration
in distrbution businesses.”
“Conspiracies”
The Justice Department itself
was silent on what leads, if any,
it may have uncovereti to prompt
Clark’s promise of jail terms for
anyone found guilty of ‘*‘conspi
racies” to force prices up and
keep them ‘there,
New York spokesmen for the
three industry groups cited said
their records are clear.
Most congress members still in
Washington adopted an attitude
of waiting to see what their own
committees find out during a se
ries of cross country studies this
summer and fall.
But Crawford was quick to
challenge Clark’s motives.
“The fantastic announcement of
the Attorney General that he is
going to investigate the prices of
the necessities of life is apparent
to anyone who has closely fol
lowed the present and previous
administrations’ policies,” the
Michigan lawmaker told a re
porter. 2
“If there is one step that could
have been taken since 1933 to
push prices up and which hasn’t
been taken I don’t know what
it is. The Administration has em
barked upon policies of restrict
ed production, it has revalued
gold and it has resorted to record
deficit financing in time of
peace.
“Mr. Clark seems determined
to help bring about that depres
sion by investigating our people
instead of the fiscal policies of
the government.”
Crawford was one of OPA’s
most bitter foes during the Con
gressional fight in 1945 over ex
tending the price control agency.
Clark’s announcement yester
day said he was handing over to
the Justice Department’s Anti-
Trust Division the task of find
ng out whether there are any
conspiracies to “maintain or to
increase present prices” in the
food, clothing and housing fields.

Versary of the founding of Man
chester,
ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
BY LAURENCE F. STUNTZ
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 13—
(AP) —) An official Paraguayan
source here said Rebel forces
were fleeing from their positions
around Asuncion today after
suffering a sharp defeat at the
hands of loyal Paraguayan troops
in the latest action of a five
months old civil war.
This informant said the Loyal
ists were ‘“tenaciousiy pursuing”
the retieating insurgents in the
direction of Piquete Cue and Vil
leta north of the capital. An
carlier official announcement last
night said a Loyalist relief col
unin — pressing down from the
north where the Rebel capital of
Concepcion was captured on July
31 — had weached a point only
12 miles from Asuncion.
The official source here said
the message he received from
Asuncion last night reported that
insurgent forces avound the
threatened Loyalist capital had
been ‘“destroyed.” He did not
make plain, however, wh:ther
the insurgent troops mentioneq
constituted the entire-Rebel fo-ce
concentrated there or a part of it.
On the other hand, Rebel sym
pathizers in the border city of
Fo'mosa said they heard a broad
cast Rebel communique last night
which said the Insurgenis “were
fighting in the center of Asun
cion and advancing steadily de
spite desperate government resis
tence.”” They saiq the communi
que stated that the fall of Asun
cion was only a “matter of
hours.”
Build Defense
Paraguayan mefugees reaching
Argentina said that when they
left the government was prepar
ing Asuncion strongpoi(;lts for a
building to building efense in
the event of a break through by
the Rebels.
Relief of th, Loyalist capital
woulg end a pavaxodical situa
tion which found the government
of President Higinio Morinigo
faced with defeat less than 10
days after its troops conquered
the Rebel capital, 125 miles to the
north in what then appeared to
be the victorious climax of the
isth Paraguayan rebellion in 12
years. 7
The explanation of the paradox
still is obscure and even milita
ry experts would like to know
exactly what happened between
the fall of Concepcion July 31
and Aug 7, when Rebel forces ap
peared at th gates of Asuncion._
The outcome of the Rebel ef
fort, in the light of conflicting
reports from Asuncion, appears
still to be.in doubt. Reports from
refugees estimated the numbe~ of
Rebels around Asuncion early
this week at about 8,000 men,
with the Loyal garrison number
ing about 2,200, but Loyalist
forces from the north, estimated
to number about- 6,000, now are
pushing hard to get back.
The only true measuring stick
of how the war is going is in pos
session of the cities. By that ru'e,
the Lovalists have the edge be
cause’ they hold both capitals.
Heavy Freighter
Reported Sinking
After Fog Crash
SEATTLE, Aug. 13—(AP)—
The Coast Guard said the freight
er Finn Victory and the coastal
motorship Diamond Knot collided
in a heavy fog off Victeria, B. C.,
early today and that the 5,525-
ton Diamond Knot was “in a
sinking condition.”
The 10,681-ton (dead weight)
Fenn Victery, outbound for Pori
land, rammed the Diamond Knot
between the No. 1 and No. 2 holds
and penetrated eight feet, the
Coast Guard reported.
An hour after the 1:10 a. m.
(PST) collision the two ships still
were reported stuck together.
Radio reports from the Diamond
Knot said her No. 3 hold was
flooded with 23 feet of water but
that “it’s not gaining any more.”
No. 2 hold had eight feet of wa
ter and No. 1 hold three {feet.
Pumps were in full force. The
engine room was sti_ll d_'ry.
The Fenn Victory’s skipper, a
Captain Gainsick, appealed a sec
ond time for immediate assist
ance, saying “I am keeping her
(the Diamond Knot) afloat with
her cross trees hooked over my
bow.” Cross trees are part of the
masthead gear.
There was no information here
as to the size of the Diamond
Knot's crew. The ship, operated

Hughes Flys Home;
Subcommittee Must
Decide Next Action
LOS ANGELES, Aug, 13 —
I(AP) — Howard Hughes, tired
and unshaven landed his person
‘al plane here last night after fly
ing from Washington, D. C. But
he wasn’t too weary to come up
with another verbal blast at Sen.
‘Owen Brewster (R-Me.), chair~
man of the Senate War Investi
gating Committee,
. “The press and public have my
‘undying gratitude,” Hughes told
reporters at his Culver City air
field. “It was they who made it
impossible for ‘Senators Brewster
to continue his Gestapo methods.
He has an unlimited capacity to
hit below the ben. 1 know he will
be in my hair for the the rest of
my life.”
' Hughes, cheered by about 500
‘employes of the Hughes Aircraft
Co.. when he arrived, said when
he stepped from his plane: “The
left hand seat of my B-23 is
much more comfortable than that
9]ectric chair in the Senate office
ouilding.”
Republican Plot |
The multi-millionaire plane
and movie maker said it was
“Jogical to assume” that Repub
licans plotted the investigation ot‘
his wartime contracts with the
government to smear the name of
President Roosevelt. He added
that he, and the workers at his
plant, had given their best to the
war producion program. He said
that if the hearing is resumeqd in
November “it will only be to save
face.” ¥ i ‘
a) “We may not have succeeded

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 13—
(AP)—The center of a tropical
storm in the Gulf of Mexico was
located at 9 a. m., Central Stan

Northwest of Campache, Mexico.
The United States Weather
Bureau here said the storm,
which moved across the North

day from the Caribbean Sea into
the Gulf, is moving West or

LONDON, Aug. 13—(AP)—
Conservative members of the
House of Lords rallied behind a
motion for a special summer ses
sion to guard against abuse of the
labor government’s new ‘“crisis
powers” as Parliament prepared
to recess today after one of the
most momentous sessions in its
history.
While the House of Lords, sit
ting by itself, would have little
control over any government ac
tion, the Marguess of Salisbury,
conservative leader, said he be
lieved it should meet again in
three weeks, if only to keep an
eye on the situation.
“If the other House is not will
ing to take such a course, it is
entirely their affair,” he declared.
“We in this House must regard
ourselves as trustees of the British
people.”
~ Before acting on the motion for
a summer meeting, the House of
Lords was scheduled to consider
possible amendments to legisla
tion giving the government almost
unlimited powers to deal with
Britain’s growing economic ecrisis.
The possibility appeared slight,
however, that the Lords would at
tempt any major modifications of
the measure, which passed its sec~
ond decisive reading by voice vote
vesterday. If there are any amend
ments, the House of Commons,
which gave the bill final approval
yesterday, will be on hand to dis
pose of them. ;
Economic Situation
While the government thus was
assured of the powers it request
ed to cope with the economic
situation, the end of the Par
liamentary session found it show
ing signs'of slowing down on the
road. 1o Socialism aiong whieh: it
has been leading the nation.
Major steps have been taken
along that road since King George
VI opened the session last Nov.
12, Railroads, long distance motor
transport, canals, electricity sup
plies and real estate development
have been brought under public‘
ownership.
| The coal mines, the Bank of
England, atomic research and
icivil aviation were nationalized
during the 1945-46 session—the
first after labor came to power,
~ Perphas the most historic action
of the session now ending was the
granting of freedom to India,
while among the most hotly con
tested steps was the adoption of
legislation providing for a year’s
compulsory military service for
young men reaching 18.
Other major action of Parliament
included the ratification of peace
treaties with Hungary, Italy, Fin
land, Bulgaria and Romania, and
the consolidation of the ddmiralty,
war and air ministries into a
single ministry of defense. |
The generally smooth flow of
labor-sponsored legislation was
disturbed near the end of the ses
sion, however, when differences
among the 393 labor members de
veloped a pace with the darken
ing economic clouds.

School, according to an announce
ment made by G. W, Cabe
Mr. Cabe said a nuimnber of in

However, it was pointed out, if
enough veterans are interested in
this program in Clarke county and
the Winterville community, there

Veterans accepted for such
training receive four hours of class
instruction per week, plus a help
ful visit from the instructor once
a week. Trainees receive the regu-~
lar allowance of $65 per nfonth for
single men and S9O per month for
married men. Facilities for carry
ing on full-time farming operations
are a requirement and instfuction
is based on the needs and interests
of the trainee. '
All farmer veterans are urged
to attend the meeting, even
though he may not be interested

Britain Withdraws
$150,000,000 From
United States Fund
WASHINGTON, Aug, 13 —
(AP) — Britain, hard up for dol
lars, has withdrawn another
$150,000,000 of he- United States
credit, the treasury disclosed to
day. $
The withdrawal leaves only
$850,000,000 remaining of the $3,-
750,000,000 granted in the mid
-1945.
(Britain’s loan from the United
States was handled similar to a
loan an individual gets f-om a
bank but leaves on deposit there.
The treasu"y simply set up a
$3,750,000.000 credit account on
which Britain could draw for
dollars as needed).
Treasury officials have estima
ted the entire credit will be ex
hausted by Oct. 1 if the present
rate of withdrawals is continued.
Originally, it was estimated the
funds wou!d last until June 30,
1948, by which time the Brit
ish government expected to have
its economy stabilized.
The British “dollar crisis,” be
sides necessitating heavy drains
upon the American financial
credit, caused Prime Minister
Attlee to invoke stringent checks
last week on British imports.

Use Of Hague Court
Opposed By Egypt
By Francis W. Carpenter
LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 13—
(AP)—Egypt is opposed to put
ting her case against Britain be
fore the International Court of
Justice at the*Hague an authorita
tive source declared today. an
This view was expressed as the
United Nations Security Council
gathered for the third airing (at
3 p. m,, EDT) of the case in little
more than a week.
Sir Alexander Cadogan, the
British delegate. who so far has
delivered two long speeches on
Egypt, was ready with an answer
to an Egyptian blast delivered on
Monday,
Egypt has demanded repeatedly
that the Security Council order
the British to leave Egypt im
mediately and to terminate the
joint British-Egyptsan rule over
the Sudan.
The British argue that Egypt
signed a treaty covering these
points which 'is good until 1956
and that. the issue is whether any
nation can break a treaty by ap
pealing to the United Nations.
Clean-Cut Decision
Apparently seeking to down re
ports that the case might go to
the International Court, a_source
familiar with Egyptian policy said
that Kgypt is opposed to -any
“legalistic” settlement of the dis
pute. This source said that the
Egyptian people wanted a clean~
cut decision and did not want to
become involved in legal maneu
verings.

| “1 can’t haul off and insure
‘her eyes-for a million bucks just
‘ike that,” said Stebbins. “I have
tc throw the application on the
market. The company that fhsur
es them for the highest amount
gets the contract.” ! i
Janice probably would be sat
isfieq with the $500,000, but her
studio’s wouldn’t. The publicity
value of a $500,000 policy would
be, practical'y nil — because Ed
die Cantor has had eyes insured
for that amount for years in a
policy written by Stebbins.
Janice, a former model, isn’t
quite sure what there is about
her eyes that’s so special. “Bur
there must be something,” she
says. “People are a'ways telling
me I have the bedroomiest eyes
they've ever seen.
