WASHINGTON, May 26.— (AP) —A union demand
that the government ‘“begin preparations” to buy the
railroads seemed -to have little prospect today of being
taken seriously in ‘official Washington. A group of 20
railroad unions made the proposal last night.
Their own leaders did not entirely agree on how far
they want to go with nationalization of the industry.

End Three-Year
Political Feud
ATLANTA, May 26— (AP)—E.
D. Rivers and Ellis Arnall, former
governors of Georgia, have ended
their three-year feud.
After the joint statement yes
terday that they were ‘‘political
{riends” again, the two declined to
say if they would support Gov. M.
E. Thompson, or some other can
didate. ’ :
But political observers said it
“marked the consolidation of anti-
Talmadge forces in the 1948 guber
natorial campaign.”
The Rivers-Arnall split came in
1946, when Rivers was a candidate
tfor governor. Arnall at that time
supported James V. Carmichael.
The late Eugene Talmadge was
elected, but- died before his in
auguration.
In Albany, Gov. Thompson said
“I am delighted, though greatly
surprised. I kfiew thousands of
Georgians will be delighted also.
Georgia has suffered much in the
past by political differences too
often not based on issues, but on
personalities. I congratulate and
thank Mr. Rivers and Mr. Arnall.”
Roy Harris, Augusta, political
advisor to Herman Talmadge,
stated: “That pair of birds has
deublecrossed. . each.. other: and
everybody else before. Now the
question is who will be the first
to get it this time. They have both
sold the people of Georgia down
the river.” .
From his home in Lovejoy, Tal
madge said, “apparently the reason
for the shot-gun wedding and un
holy alliance is the desire of both
Rivers and Arnall to see the civil
rights program thrust down the
throat of the South. Both are dis
credited politicians. I was taught
in arithmetic that nothing plus
nothing equals nothing.”
Text Of Statement
The complete text of the Rivers-
Arnall statement follows:
“It will be recalled that prior to
1946 we were intimate, personal
and steadfast political friends. We
worked together closely and open
ly in public affairs. 'ag\e philosophy
of government to ich we ad
here was in the ascendancy. Both
human and natural resources of
our State received expanded gov
ernmental services essential to the
progress and - prosperity of our
people. :
“It will also be recalled that
about two years ago influences in
tervened to separate us. Since that
time we have spent too much of
our energies destructively against
each other, instead of constructive
ly with each other. g
_“During this period of our con
flict, our friends have been either
involuntarily arrayed against each
other, or neutralized and immobil
-Ized, where we were personally
or politically involved, Our ene
mies ‘have played us off against
each other, followed the old game
of divide and conquer, and had a
field day at our expense.

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
~ Full Associated Press Service
There was no immediate com
ment from the White House or
government agencies. But obser
vers noted that Congress would
have to approve a step of' this
size—a big step toward socialism
—and there ‘*are no signs that
Congress is in any such mood.
Railroad management officials
made light of the proposal.:
W. T. Faricy, president of the
Association of American Rail
roads, termed it “an attempt to
divert attention” from the fact
that three unions—the engineers,
firemen, and switchmen—reject
ed the recommendations of an
impartial board in the present
rail dispute. «
Heads of the 20 unions, band
ed together in the Railway Labor
Executives’ Association, came to
the aid of the engineers, firemen,
and switchmen last night.
The 20 executives unanimous
ly adopted a bitter resolution.
In it, they condemned the gov
ernment as a ‘“strike-breaking
agency” because it seized legal
control of the railroads May 10
and thus blocked a scheduled
strike by the unions.
Then they demanded that the
government, having taken legal
control, now assume “the full
responsibilities of operation,”
take control of the revenues, and
bargain directly with the unions
on wages and working condi
tions.
Private Operators
Firmlly they -argued that the
private gperators more than once
have shown their inability to
maintain satisfactory labor rela
tions and havél failed to provide
the public with efficient and
prompt service.
Therefore, they said, the gov
ernment should “begin prepara
tions for the transfer of railroad
ownership from private interests
to the United States govern-!
ment.” .
This clearly suggested perma
nent nationalization. If carried to
a conclusion it would mean buy
ing the properties outright. |
But the labor leaders, at a
news conference in a tiny hotel
room last night, were not exact
ly clear on their desires. |
Present Case 1
H. W. Fraser, chairman of the
Railway Labor Executives’ As
sociation and president of the
Order of Railway Conductors,{
said: “We're not suggesting nat—‘
ionalization beyond ‘the present|
case.”
A. E. Lyon, executive secre
tary of the Associaiton, put in:
“If they (the rail companies)
can’t operate any better than
they’ve been doing, better make
it permanent.” '
Reporters commented that the
two men appeared to disagree.|
Lyon said, “He and I have got
the right to differ a little on
this.”
A. J. Glover, president of thei
Switchmen’s Union, said Fraser
and Lyon ewren’t really disa
greeing, that botnh meant to say
Federal ownership ought to be
permanent if it becomes neces
sary—that is, if the rail com
panies can find no means of set
tling with the unions. |
The Association includes 15
AFL unions that have members
working for railroads, four inde
pendent unions, and one CIO
union.

Plans Mapped To Stymi
July Maritime Walkout
WASHINGTON, May 26.— (AP) —The government
may invoke the Taft-Hartley Act’s national emergency
provisions to head off a threatened all-coast maritime
strike on June 15,
Top officials said today the action is under study be
cause a shipping tieup would block aid shipments to Eu
rope and the Far East.
One leading administration
labor adviser said the plan be
ing considered is for President
Truman to name a seven-man
| board to make a factual study
lof all issues involved in disputes
| raging on the Atlantic, Pacific
and Gulf Coasts.
Six unions, five of them CIO
and one independent, have con
tracts expiring June 15. All want
wage boosts, the amounts so far
unspecified. . ‘
l But a major issue, and one
hampering - negotiations being
Iguided by the Federal Mediation
i Service, is the union hiring hall
traditional on all coasts.
Through the hiring halls the
unions for years have supplied
employers with union mefnbers
as seamen and longshoremen.
The trouble now is that employ
'ers are balking at continuing the
isystem for fear it is a form of
closed shop, banned by the Taft-
Hartley Act.
The unions are insisting that
the hiring halls be.continued,
| The Labor Department may
| put the question squarely up to
Attorney General Clark for an
opinion.
Stumbling Block
One way or another, an offi
cial ruling on the legality of the
] hiring hall would clarify the
situation on.a principal ‘stumb
‘ling block in the negotiations.
ißut there are literally dozens of
other issues to be ironed out,
l including’ wages,
ly after midnight. i
McCarty’s stretch :came in
Southern Florida but it was not
enough to match overwhelming
Warren support in the upper
portion. of the state: ..+ '+ _ -
It was Warren’s second race
for governor. He ran third in
1940’s first primary, a contest ul
timately won by Spessard L.
Holland. In topiping McCarty, he
became the first Jacksonville
man tobe named to & major state
office since vohn W. Martin was
elected governor 24 years ago.
On the basis of 1455 of the
state’s 1530 (CQ) precincts, War
ren had 283,259 against McCarty's
269,889. .
Ervin started strong in ‘his
race for Attorney General and
built up a commanding lead over
Grady Burion of Wauchula. The
two had gone into a runoff after
topping the four-man race on
May 4.
In 1375 precinets, Ervin had

No Improvement Is Reported
In Local Traffic Conditions
BY HOKE SMITH MAY
‘Banner-Herald City Editor
The traffic situation in Athens
has not improved.
During the period of a week,
beginning May 19 and ending to
day, 17 persons were arrested by
local police and booked on
charges of speeding, resckless and
drunken driving. The same num
ber of arrests were made for three
violations for a weekly period
recorded in the Banner-Herald
survey several days ago.
When the Banner-Herald orig
inated the speeding campaign over
two weeks ago, citizens were ask
ed to telephone their traffic prob.
lems into the news room, and one
week later tedephone agin to indi
cate whether or not the problem
had been alleviated.
For each violation reported, a
red pin was placed in a traffic

lief report it was planned to use
a green pin.

Civil Rights Program
Bogs Down For Present
WASHINGTON, May 26.— (AP)—The ambitious civil
rights program outlined by the Truman administration
Jast winter appears. to be definitely bogged down — at
least until after the November elections, R
Politically, it is a pretty hot potato.
Deep rumblings of dissent
echoed through the South when
the President’s committee on
civil rights issued its report last
Gctober calling for immediate
and decisive action to wipe out
segregation and discrimination
from American life,
When Mr. Truman followed
this up in February with a spe
cific 10-point request for con
gressional action, full-fledged re
volt swept through some Dixie
Demecrat strongholds. 2
Republicans wer quick to
seize: on this. Theg" announced
they would press for action on
such long-pending proposals as
anti-lynch, anti-poll tax and
anti-job discriminating laws.
But with much high priority
legislation still on tap, show
downs have been delayed lest the
certain Southern filibusters hope
lessly snarl the session in its
final weeks.
Some of the newer civil rights
proposals have not even been
submitted to Congress in bill
form hy the administration.
The Justice Department has
drafted a bill to create a new
civil rights division under an
additional = Assistant Attorney
General (one of the things Mr.
Truman recommended). But the
bill is still in the Department’s
files.
