Vol. CXVI, No. 100.
WASHINGTON, May. 6—(AP)
_rriend and foe of the bill to
repeal federal oleomargarine
taxes ;n'edicted to‘dafy the Senate
will join the House in voting to
wipe out the 62 year old levies.
Both sides said all doubt was
removed by the major setback
dairy interests suffered yester
qav.
That came when the Senate
voted 47 t, 30 to reverse the rul
ine of Senator Vandenburg (R-
Mich) and send the measure tg
the Finance Committee Vanden
berg, as presiding officer, had
held the Agriculture Committee
should have jurisdiction.
Finence Chairman Millkin (R-
Cclo) said the question of hold
ing hearings on the bill would be
put before & committee session.
But he noted that the issue al
ready has received thorough go
ing over in both the Senate and
House. '
«] don’t know of any reason
for any extra delay in consider
ing the bill,”” he told reporters.
«rhere is no factor calling for
extraordinary speed or extraor
dinary delay. We’ll handle it
:Jong with our other legislation.”
One of the major arguments
of the repeal advocates, headed
by Senator Fulbright (D-Ark),
was that the Finance Committeel
would act more promptly on the
measure than the agricultural‘
group,
Senate View Clear
Fulbright termed yesterday's'
vote a “pretty fair interpreta
tion” of how the Senate stands.

f BY HOKE SMITH MAY
Spurred on by the traffic campaign of the Civii Service
Commissioners, Athens Police have arrested 14 persons
since May 1 charged with speeding, reckless driving, and
driving while under the influence of alcohol.
Judge Olin Price, City Recorder, has not been easy on
those who wilfully violate traffic ordinances. Fines and
penalties in the above wmentioned cases ranged from
$15.75 for speeding, 90 days driving suspension for reck
less driving; to S2OO fine, 180 days in the City Stockade,
or both, for drunken driving.
At City Hall :
Lauded By Cifizens
Work has begun on beautifi
cation of the City Hall grounds
and much favorable comment is
being heard about the. project.
The banks to the lawn on the
College avenue side had become
run-down gnd washed-out. There
was no grass on them at all and
they were sorry looking. The
shrubbery had also got into a
run-down condition and was
looking scraggly.
The improvement program
calls for re-sodding the slopes to
the lawn with berinuda and
erection of iron posts with chains
so as to protect the grass. A
cedar tree that had outgrown its
usefulness was dug up and fer
tiilzer will be put around the
shrubbery.
It has often been pointed out
that the appearance of the
grounds to public buildings is
very important, and that a com
munity is frequently judged by
how it keeps up its physical ap
pearance.
In recent years the physical
appearance of the campus of the
University has undergone such a
spectacular improvement that
visitors to Athens go away now
praising it as one of the most
beautiful in the United States.
The beautification of the City
Hall property is regarded as a
progressive and civic-improve
ment step and many citizens are
commending the program.
Stassen’s Advance In Ohio Can
Be Rated As Victory Or Defeat
COLUMBUS, 0., May 6—(AP)
—Harold E. Stassen’s capture of
nine Ohio Republican presiden
tial delegates today was called
victory or defeat—depending on
which way you looked.
Sen. Robert A. Taft won the
other 14 contested galegates,
plus 30 without opposition frorg
the former Minnesota governor,
nearly complete returns showed.
Both Taft and Stassen hailed
the outcome of Tuesday’s pri
mary election as a personal vie
tory. Their delegates are pledged
to support them for the GOP
presidential nomination at the
national convention next month.
Taft from Washington said
Lis 44 Ohio delegates assured
him of more first ballot conven
tion votes than any oiher candi
date. :
Stassen said his was a “clear
cut victory—one of the most sig
nificant developments of the en
tire nationai campaign.” |
With the addition of six men
to the Police force, and three
two-wheeled motorcycles to the
traffic control division, Commis.
sioners feel that the department
is better equipped now to take
care of the problem of traffic vio
lators in the City.
Captain J. H. Porterfield! head
of the Police Traffic Division,
pointed out at a meeting of the
Civil Service Commissioners that
most of the speeding and reck
less driving. takes place between
derk and 12:00 midnight. On this
assumption, motorcycle’ policé are
taking g shift from 4:00 o’clock
in the evening’until fwelve mid
night, alerted particularly for
violators of the drivihg ‘codes.
Citing the danger to lives of
Athens citizens incurred by those
who willfully violate the traffic
codes, Commissioner T. M. Phil
pot stated, “We must go after
the reckless drivers here. The
city streets are not safe for any
one until we rid them of speed
ing, reckless driving and drunken
driving.” e v \
Prowl Cars Alerted
Prowl cars of the Police De.
partment have also been alerted,
particularly in the hours affer
sunset, to apprehend all drivers
breaking the traffic codes.
In line with the new speeding
alert, new accident reports have
been adopted by the Police De
partment which are g great im
provement over the old mimeo
graphed sheets formerly used by
the department.
At the last meeting of the Civil
Service Commissioners, Fire
Chief W. C. Thompson reported
that there has been a flare-up of
false alarms throughout the city.
(Continued On Page Seven)
“The Republicans of Ohio
have advanced us another step
toward nomination at Philadel~
phia,” Stassen asserted at Min
neapolis.
Flush from victories in Wis
consin, Nebraska and Pennsyl
vania primaries Stassen had
predicted he would get a dozen
Ohio delegafes,” neluding one
from the state at-large.
CarringtonT. DMarshall, Co
lumbus attorney and former chief
justice of the Ohio supreme
court, was Stassen’s only dele
gate-at-large candidate. With
nine to be élected on a state
wide basis, Marshall ran a dis

Thrasher Cites New Financial
Tangle At Savannah Branch
WASHINGTON, May 6—(AP)
—The White House today called
a conference of railroad brother
hood chiefs for tomorrow to try
to head off the threatened rail
road strike.
Dr. John R. Steelman, presi
dential assistant and labor ex
pert telephoned the heads of
three unions which have called
a strike for next Tuesday. He
asked them to meet with him at
10:00 a. m. (EST) tomorrow.
Presidential Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross, who made the
announcement, was ashea4f any
definite proposal would be pre
sented to the brotherhood lead
ers.
“I can’t 'say any more than I
have,” Ross replied. y
Thne brotherhood leaders -are
Alvanley Johnston of the loco
motive engneers David B. Rob=-
ertson of the locomotive firemen
and enginemen, and A. J. Glov~
er of the switchmen’s union.
Johnston, who was in Cleve
land today, told reporters Steel
manr: indicated to him that he
wanted to talk first with the
union men, then call in repre
lsentatives of railroad manage
ment. ! :
Ross was asked whether Steel
men would have a similar con
ference with representatives of
the railroads.
“I can’t say as yet,” Ross said,
“I have told you all that has
been done to' date.”
Plar Uneertain \
White House aides would not
discuss what possible action
might be taken if Steelman can
not persuade the parties to reach
an agreement. . L L
They -turned aside such m?fl
tions as whether - Mr. Truman
will talk personally with the
disputants, whether the '%en
leaders might be asked to "Bost
pone the strike date, or whether
the goverment might seize the
railroads,
A plea by President Truman
for the railroad owners and the
unions to settle their wage dis~
pute without a crippling nation
wide “walkout is known (o be
under study.
But those close to the chief
executive are prepared to recom
mend it only if they feel there
is a definite possibility that the
quarreling parties will heed the
appeal. *

GOVERNOR FOLSOM MARRIES GIRL
WHO ONCE LEFT HIM SPEECHLESS
MONTGOERY, Ala., May 6 —
(AP)—Gov. James E. Folsom
of Alabama, whose antics with
the women earned him the title
of “kissing Jim,” has married
the 21-year-old girl who once
left him speechless.
The surprise wedding of the
six-feet eight-inch widower to
Miss Jamelle. Moore, who stands
five-feet-five, took place late
yesterday at Rockford, Ala.
For the 39-year-old Governor
and father of two small daugh

state-employed secretary was the
climax of a busy 24-months,
political and otherwise.
Early last March he was nam

Inflation is the numbér one

Advisers, who spoke at the
University of Georgia Wed
nesday. “Inflationary danger .
is not over by any means,”
he warned.
Pointing out that the gen
eral trend is for a re-birth of
the inflationary boom of
1947, Gross predicted a third
full round of wage increases,
“lower than the last round,
but still high enough fto
bring about higher prices.”
He went on to declare that
leaders in business and in
dustry can help in prevent
ing further inflation by keep
ing wages and prices of
goods down.
According to the econo
mist, the inflationary trends
of the past two years have
done more than anything else
to bring about conditions
which can lead to deflation.
He reminded that the de
mand for fiabor, whoiesaie
prices, and employment have
increased since last Febru
ary. when a recession was
predicted.

CARELESS
USE OF FUNDS
IS UNCOVERED
. . ATLANTA, May 6.~ (AP) —
State Auditor B. E: Thrasher, jr.,
today reported a mass of -flileg‘a‘l.
improper and careiess financial
transactions at the strife torn
Savannah Branch of the Univer
sity of Georgia and accused high
University officials of negli
gence. ’
The report followed a special
investigation which took more
than six weeks. Thrasher said
two factions which have been in
dispute¢ over control of the Sav
annah school were involved in
his findings. .
Thrasher, citing state’ law
which requires him to investi
gate and report illegal expendi
tures, irregularities, shortages
and improper bookkeeping by
state agencies, said “it is with
regret that the law makes it nec
essary for me as state auditor
to make the following comments
on the official conduct of such
able officials.
“However, the findings of this
report give conclusive evidence
that Comptroller J. D. Bolton of
the Iniversity so Georgia did not
exercise proper supervision over
ihe action of his agent, Comp
troller (Pat) Summerour of the
Savannah Branch. '
Poor Handling i
“Comptroller Summerour did
not conduct the business of the
Savannah Branch in keeping
with the legal requirements of
accounting for public funds nor
in keeping with good business
principles. 4
“The ' findings in this report
- also give conclusive evidence
that Director Glenn W. Sutton
did not,,u? due diligence in pre

which were placed in his hands.
Neither was the grocery store
~and the automobile service sta
tion operated under a legal
agreement whereby the property
and funds would be protected.”
