Truman
Shows New
Confidence
ABOARD TRUMAN TRAIN
ENROUTE TO WASHINGTON,
July 6.(AP)—President Truman
sped back to Washington today
with what his aides said was the
feeling that the rug had beéen
pulled out from under opponents
of his nomination.
They reported Mr. Truman
was convinced General Dwight
D. Eisenhower's assertion he
cannot accept nomination for
public office had removed the
only dangerous threat to his first
ballpt selection at the Demo
cratic Convention in Philadel
phia.
One of Mr. Truman's confid
ants, who would not be quoted
by name, said he felt that much
of the strength behind the move
to deny him the Presidential
nomination would disappear with
the removal of General Eisen
hower from the picture.
At Cincinnati, where Mr. Tru
man arrived at 8 a. m. (EST) the
President, appearing briefly ou
the platform, would =not com
ment on General Eisenhower’s
action.
“No comment,” Mr. Truman
told reporters, and repeated: “No
comment.”
Few people were about the sta
tion.
The President has maintained
all along that he will win nomi
nation on the first ballot. He said
as much at his last Washington
news conference.
Mr. Truman appeared in good
humor 2s he met crowds at Wil
lard, Mo., Springfield, Mo, and
other points on his way back
East from-Bolivar, Mo., where he
spoke yesterday with President
Romulo Gallegos of Venezuela.
He steered clear =of political
talk at his platform appearance
at Springfield. He held to the
theme of western hemispheric
solidarity that he used at Boli
var. i
Asked to “say something” at
Newburg, Mo., he replied “there
is nothing to say—this is really a
non-political trip.”
In the little southwest Mis
souri town of Bolivar, Mr. Tru
man received a statue of Simon
Bolivar, the South American lib
erator, from Venezuelan Presi
dent Romulo Gallegos. The Ven
ezuelan chief executive and his
wife accompanied Mr. Truman to
Bolivar.

States .Rights
(Continued From ¥Fage One)
Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey, a
member of the platform commit
tee, ennounced that 50 party
leaders, including Franklin D.
Roosvelt, jr., will try to squeeze
Mr. Truman’s entire program into
the platform.
Any such move would be sure
to set off furious Southern reac
tion.
Caught between the two dis
puting groups, the compromisers
were reported to be considering
this tack as a middle ground
which might hold the support,
however, reluctant, of both sac.
tions:
1. Put into the 1948 platform
the same general langugage on
civil rights that was incorporated
in the 1944 platform after & bit
ter struggle; 2. Follow his up
with a strong plank stating the
party’s opposition to federal in
terference with states’ rights.
‘The 1944 Democratic race plank
seid:
“We believe that racial and
religious minorities have the right
to live, develop and vote equally
with all citizens and share the
rights that are guaranteed by our
Constitution, Congrese should ex
ert its full constitutional powers
to protect those rights.

of air that flows east to west

Toothpaste »is squeezed out
through hole in inside lid of
this crush-proof case which
protects tube in suitcase,
BY KAY SHERWOOD
NEA Staff Writer
A more carefree life for gypsy
minded Americans is the prom
ise made for summer by ingen
jous new accessories specifically
designed to solve problems which
ruffle the tempers of travelers.
Many of the new devices are
aimed to please motorists. Jack
ets or suit coats, for example,
which are so quick to show the
crush of travel can be carried
wrinkle-free by hanging on a
car-rod of tenite-coated steel.
The self-suspension rod, made in
two telescoping sections, spans
the back seat of the car. Sponge
rubber guards brace the hangers
at either side and prevent togs
from sliding into back window
space to obscure the driver’s
rear-view outlook. !
By simply pressing a lever, the
man at the wheel can supply
himself with a lighted cigaret
from an automatic dispenser
without any distraction from
driving. The dispenser holds 23
smokes ‘and at the touch of the
lever feeds one cigaret into 2
trough where it is pushed against
the lighter for ignition.
Masculine autoists will also
approve’ a new safety light
which plugs into the car’s cigar
lighter and can be set to flash
red warhing signals in case of
accident. As handy an accsesory
is a roomy billfoid with a con
cealed memeo pad which helps (o
simplify recording travel costs.
The problem of stowing tubes
of toothpaste or cosmetic creams
into suitcases so that they can’t
ooze out and wreck luggage is
solved by crush-proof plastic dis
pensers. Tubes with caps remov
ed are screwed into threaded
holes on the inside lid of the
lumarith case. Creanmr may be
squeezed out without removing
tube from case. 9 top lid snaps
shut to prevent leakage from
tube between uses.

INVISIBLE’ X-RAYS
LEAD TO JAIL
LE HAVRE — (AP) — A doc
tor has been sent to jail for a
year for x-rayving patients with
a machine that wasn’t working.
They beceme suspicious when
they received bills for radiogra
phy, but no x.rayv photographs.
Thev enlisted the help of an
other doctor, who sent his asgis
tant in the guise of a patient. He
discovered a broken filament.
In zddition to the vear in pris
on the Havre Criminal Court
sentenced the first doctor to pay
225,000 francs (about 750 dollars)
damages to his duped clients.
From January to May of this
year Navy and Coast Guard
crews destroved 143 floating
Japanese mines which had just
reached the West Coast since the
recent war.
Reds Imply Bloe Is Weapon
To Open New 4-Power Talks
BERLIN, July 6.—(AP)—The Russians placed strict
controls on trucks entering western Berlin today, western
licensed newspapers reported, tightening their land
blockade of the western sectors of the city.
In London, authoritative sources said the United States,
France and Britain would send separate notes of protest
to Russia today on her 18-day blockade.
In Paris, the French foreign of
fice said it had a document from
the British embassy indicating a
Moscow-directed Communist plan
to drive the western Allies out of
Berlin.
The steady flow of American
supply planes into Berlin resumed
at noon after bad flying weather
in the West lamed the spectacular
air lift for seven hours. U. S. Air
Force officials said planes again
were leaving every four minutes
from the Rhine-main and Wies
baden fields.
American officials said the Ger
man press reports of new truck
controls apparently were true.
The newspapers said Acting
Police Chief Seidel in the Soviet
sector ordered his force to inspect
the loads of German trucks head
ing for western Berlin from the
Russian section of the city. He di
rected the confiscation of food
stuffs, scrap, building materials
and telephone equipment.
Such an order would erect an
other wall through the heart of
the city, dividing the eastern from
the western parts as did the in
troduction of two rival currencies
by the Russians and western pow
ers.
C-47 Crashes
Air Force headquarters at
Frankfurt said an American C-47
crashed last night near the Wies
baden airbase while trying to land
in bad weather. Two crewriaen
were slightly injured. It was the
first accident in more than 1,100
food-shuttling flights to Berlin,
officials said.
French diplomatic informants in
Paris said a Soviet plot to drive
the western Allies from Berlin has
come down from Moscow to Com
munist party’ headquarters here.
The Kremlin has ordered demon
strations which would precipitate
police intervention, the informants
said. They added that the plan calls
for street fighting that would give
Soviet troops a chance to inter
vene and occupy all of Berlin.
American military government
officials said they were investi
gating reports that Berlin’s police
president, Paul Markgraf, told his
staff no longer to accept orders or
directives from American, British
and French authorities but to fol
low only Russian orders. :
Berlin’s police headquarters is in
the Russian sector but the western
Allies have liaison officers attach
ed there.
Police Checks
Police in the Soviet sector step
ped up their campaign against
Germans possessing the new west
ern Deutsche marks which are
illegal in Russian-occupied areas.
Newspapers said the police were
making checks at public gatherings
and especially at black market
hangouts.
The pinch of the Russian block
ade on the Soviet occupation zone
itself meanwhile began to show.
The British-licensed newspaper
Telegraf said a shortage of insulin
had developed in Russian-occupied
territory.
Meanwhile, the Russians implied
that they are using the blockade
as a weapon to bring about new
four-power talks on Germany.
A hint of Soviet eagerness for
such talks was contained last night
in the Russian licensed newspaper
Nacht Express. It said:
“The western powers must again
take up the conversations on Ger
many where they left them at
Potsdam. If that happens with suc
cess—and it must be successful—
the situation in Berlin will be au
tomatically clarified.”
Russia has given indications of
concern over the western Allies’
plan for establishing a Federal
government for western Germany
and for future control of the key
Ruhr industrial area. ; .
At a conference in Warsaw last
month Russia and seven of her
satellites agreed that the Ruhr’s
heavy industry should be placed
under big four control “for a def
inite period.” Thus Russia would
have a voice there.

every one of you who are here
tonight to honor this young man
whom has returned.”
Gdvernor Thompson said that
after World War I, of the 90,000
Georgians who served in the
armed forces, over two-thirds of
them left the state to seek homes
else where. “But,” he said, “of
the more than 300,000 Georgia
men end women who left Georgia
tc serve in the armed forces
during the last war, great numqj
Lers of them have returned to‘
Georgia to place their futures
and destiny in our great state.” .
“We are clways better, happier,
¢nd richer when we come back'
to Georgia,” he concluded. |
Lasting Peace ‘
Senator Russell stated “Let us
reconsecrate ourselves here to
night that we may heve perma
nent peace in the future. i
He extended his congratula-i
tions to all those who contri‘outed|
to make the celebration a success,
and said thet as long as there is{
pride in achievement the future
is assured. Saying “We arel
gathered here to celebrate the
172nd anniversary of the free
dom of our great country,” he
stated that the move toward free
dom was a ‘“great experiment in
government” and that this coun
try has made great progress be
cause of the solid and true foun
dations upon which it is built”’
State Legion Commander Cocks,
introduced by local Commander
Vane Hawkins, stated that it is
a “privilege to offer vou the ser
vigss of the Legion and to help
the veterans who have returned
from the wars.”
He said that he wished that’
all Georgians who had given
their lives and the others who
made great secrifices for liberty
could be recognized here tonight.”
Praises Bridges
Every speaker on the program
was high in his praise for Mr.
Bridges who chairmaned the Lee
Sheridan Fund. University Pres
ident Harmon Caldwell summed
up the thankfulness of all toward
Mr. Bridges when he said of him,
“I know of no man who is more
sincerely interested in his friends
than is Weaver.”
Mr. Bridges today expressed
bis desire to thank each and eve'fy
person who coniributed his ser
vices and time toward making
the celebration a success saying,
| “Without the cooperation of the
many who worked on the pro
gram, it could not have been the
cverwhelming success that it
was.” .
George Poschner introducted
Lee as “a great American citizen”
and the ovation he received was
spontaneous and terrific.
Lee approached the microphone
and said in a voice that was
steady and sincere, ‘“Thank you,
1 cen’t thank you enough for all
you have done.
Applause Deafening
The applause that followed for
almost fice minutes was just short
of deafening.
Then came the fireworks,
The most brilliant display of
fireworks ever fired in the

For an hour and fifteen min

Even as far as the center of
town, spectators ere lined up on
the streets, watching the rockets,
eerial bombs, and other spectacu
lar pieces that burst and showered
streaks of color far above the
earth.
Successful? Yes, everyone
agreed that the show was the
biggest success they have wit
nessed in many years of celebrat
ing the Fourth of July. The fire
works meant something this year,
the spectators agreed. Something
more than just a iot of noise and
o useless displav of color.
Every piece of the large assort
ment seemed to be saying,
“Thanks, Lee Sheriden!”

“Little Bit”
Has Too
Many Teeth
Most dogs and a lot of people
complain that they don't haye
enough teeth, but that's not the
case of “Little Bit”, the mixed toy
and rat terrier belonging to Mary
Sue Brown, of 688 Pulaski street.
“Little Bit” has too many teeth,
Mary Sue found out last night
and they picked the strangest plavé
to grow out.
As Mary Sue and the five
months-old puppy were playing
“Little Bit” playfully nipped the
finger of his mistress and gave
away the secret that he has
double row of front teeth,
Plain as the teeth in his heaq,
so to speak, the bite print thgs
“Little Bit” left on Mary. Sue's
finger showed that he has an extry
set of incisors.
That’s the first time she’s seen
anything like it, Mary Sue said,
because her Eskimo Spitz and col
lie have so far been content with
just one set. Maybe they won't he
jealous.

. PARIS
PARIS—(AP) — The French
Parliament has agreed it takes
three days to think clearly.
The assembly resembling the
House of Commons and the
House of Representatives, passed
a bill authorizing release of
number of government workers,
The bill was passed after 32
hours of debate and sent on to
the council of the republic for
review. The council of the re
public can’t veto a bill, but s
described as a “reflective body,"
whose opinions on laws passed
by the assembly must be given
-attention. ; i
The assembly demanded that
the bill be treated as “urgent,”
and be acted upon by the coun
cil in the same time as the as
sembly. The ccuncil denounced
such pressure tactics and refused
to think so fast. A constitutional
crises was threatened. .
Finally a joint body of the two
organizations met and decided
that the council could take three
days to reflect on a bill. Only
after that would it become law
arbitrarily. Moreover, it was
agreed that the council doesn't
have to think on Sunday. If Sun
day intervenes as one of the
three days, it doesn’t count.
