New Division
Created By
.
Athens Mill
Another move toward develop
ment of Athens industry, was ren
dered today with onnouncement
by the Athens Manufacturing
Company that it has esteblished
an Industrial Engineering Depart
ment,
The purpose of this new de
partment is two-said, it was ex
plained by D. D, Quillian, vice
president and general manager:
(1) It is designed to place the
{ocal mill in the ranks of other
progressive’ members of the in
dustry in regard to productive
capacity and enable it to compete
in the market on a better basis
2nd; (2) Make it possible for em
ployes to enhance their incomes
and advance through methods
that have been tried and approv
ed by lezders in the industry.
Installation of this new division
in the local mil fits in with the
community movement here for
expansion of manufacturing
plants and establisbment of ad
ditional industries. The new de
partment should have a far
reaching effect on the productive
cepacity of the Athens Manufac
turing Company and its future’
payrole, thus affecting the com
munity as a wha'e, it is declared.
For one of the most significant
discoveries of modern industry
hes been that productive capacity
ard output ¢an be: -expanded
through scientific methods favor
ably affecting the industry and
the status of employes and their
incomes, as well as by plant-en
largement.
Industrial Courses
Improvements At
Plant Completed
Extensive renovation and mod
eration and modernization of the
business offices, interior and ex
terior, have been completed at
Athens Manufacturing Company,
including an entire new front
and & combination conference and
class room, the latter being fitted
with blackboards, movie screen
and projection booth.
The room is used for confer
ences among the various depart
nient heads, for meetings of the
staff and for gatherings of other
employes studying modern tex
tile methods, safety practices and
many other subjects through the
use of moving pictures and talks
by experts.
Al of the offices have been
completely remodelled and an air
conditioning system installed and
the interiors have been made
much lighter by the extensive use
of glass.
Under plans drawn by Wilmer
C. Heery and carried out by the
W. A. Mathis Construction Com
pany, the entire front has been
replaced with a modern brick
veneer and all of the plant prop
erty has been beautified with
grass, shrubs, ete, In addition, a
paved parking lot, (ighted for
night use, and with its borders
grassed, has been constructed di
rectly across the street from the
company for the convenience of
employes who have cars.
The improvements have been
on for a numbers of ‘weeks and
the completed job adds much to
the appearance of the plant
Mr. Quillian a'so disclosed that
John D. Woods and Gordon Limi
ted, industrial engineers and con
sultants have been engaged to es
tablish the department, and that
E. B. Michaels, 11, representing
that company, has been assigned
here for the next twelve mont_hs
to conduct such (f'asses along with
2 staff of asecistants sent here
from time to time.
Three young graduates of the
University of Georgia have been
added to the mill's staff to direct
the industrial engineering depart
ment after completing their train
ng, Mr. Quillian said. They are
Doma Watson, John M. Murray
and Wm, Shortt. Mr. Quilian
szid “it is particularly pleasing to
our company to employ the§e
voung graduates of the Universi
ly of Georgia in highly technical
Capacities. The " time was when
cur young Georgia men couid not
find places in industry at home
and their co¥egiate training has
been used in developing other
States and sections. That we are
how providing opportunity for
our collags graduates in our own
locz] industry is incicative of the
'emarkable rapid pragress indus
try is making in Georgia.”

Voting Today
I NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug. 5 —
' (AP) — Tennessee Democrats
'and Republicans name their
choice for United States
'senator and governor today in a
primary election expected to pro
rvide a major test for the E H.
‘Crump Democratic organization
‘at Memphis.
- Crump’s endorsement of a can
didate in the past has meant any
where from 40,000 tq 60,000 Shel
by county votes, and the candi
dates he had supported have &f'-
most always won.
In today’s Democratic primary
Crump is backing Gov. Jim Mc-
Cord for & third term and Circuit
Judge John A. Mitehell for U. S.
senator.
Rep. Estes Kefauver is Mitch
ell's opponent and he confronts
the Crump-Shelby county organ
17ation with one of the sharpest
challenges it has faced in more
than a quarter of a century.
Also seeking the Democratic
senatorial nom%nation is Sen.
Tom Stewart, out for his third
term. It is his first try without
Crump’s endorsement_
Crump threw his decisive Shelby
couf{ty suppost to Steweart six
years ago, but shouldered him
aside this year in favor of Mitch
ell. Stewart's aggressive cam
paign, however, has afighted with
him many organizations which
heretofore have followed Crump’s
lead.
Kefauver’s nine-month cam
paign has blanketed the state and
a Kefauver organization in Mem
phis has been fighting Crump on
his home ground.
Crump in turn has attacked
Kefauver is full-page newspaper
ads, but Kefauver says that de
spite the Crump opposition he
expects to poll up to 30,000 votes
in Sha by county tc slit the cus
tomarily solid vote for ‘the first
time in the memory of most Ten
nessee wpoliticians,
™ rthermore, says Kefauver,
who banks heavily on his 10-year
record in Congress and his strong
advocacy of the TVA, he plans to
ke in Memphis during the voting
tcday.
Former Governor Gordon
Browning, who broke with Crump
in 1937, opposes McCord for the
Democratic nomination for gov
ernor. He has campaigned vigor
ously with a cry against “one
man rwe.” ;
In the Rrepublican primary, the
senatorial aspirants are Carroll
Reece, former GOP Ntional chair
man, and Allen J, Strawbridge,
Dresdem sawyer. Seeking the Re
publican gubernatorial nomina
tion are Mayor Robert M Mur
ray of Huntington and radio en
tertainer Roy Acuff,
Two Republican congressmen,
Rep. Dayton E. Phillips of the
First District and Rep. John Jen
nings of the Second, face strong
primary opposition, as does Dem
ocratic Rep. Wirt Countney of
the Seventh.

Anti-Inflation, Housing Bills
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—(AP)—Republican leaders
dangled a tempting reward — adjournment Saturday—
before a campaign-minded Congress today.
To win the prize, they asked lawmakers to give high
speed approval to these things: “ E 3
1. A GOP anti-inflation pro
gram limited to controls over
time payment buying and some
tightening of bank credit through
added reserves. g
2. A housing bill aimed at gov

class. : |
3. A $65,000,000 loan to the
United Nations to build some of

site. § : AN
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman
of the Republican policy commits
tee, told a reporter “there: is, &
good chance” that the entige pro
gram can be pushed through in
time to end the special session
this week-end. b T B
He added, however, that he
does not want another late Sat
urday night session like the June
windup.
One of the major obstacles to
ending the “turnip day” session
called by President Truman was
hurdled late yesterday when the
Senate put the anti-poll tax bill
back on the shelf, .
A score of Southern members
had tied up the Serate for five
days by filibuster tactics,
Drop Rights Fight
Republican senators agreed at
a long morning huddle to drop
the civil rights battle for this
year. But the actual sidetracking
didn’t come until late in the day.
Just as the filbiuster was never
against the anti-poll tax bill it
self — only against a motion to
take up the bill—the end of the
battle came on a parliamentary
maneuver, too. :
Heretofore, the Senate - has
been recessing at the end of each
day, leaving the poll tax motion
as the order of business.
Yesterday, however, the Re
publicans proposed that the Sen
ate adjourn for the night—a step
that would clear the calendar of
the poll tax motion.
Senator Barkley of Kentucky,
the Democraitc leader and Mr.
Truman’s vice presidential run-,
ning mate, bitterly protested
this surrender of the civil rights
issue. |
I “The Senate cannot forever g 0
on and admit to the American
people that it is impossible to
function,” he declared.
But when the roll was called,
24 Democrats joined with the
solidly voting 45 Republicans to
snow under the administration
forces by a count of 69 to 16.
“We were not going to stay
here for three or four weeks or
longer just to try to break this
filibuster,” Taft said. “We (Re
publicans)- are agreed that 2
change in Senate rules to permit
it to act will be the first thing
we take up 4t the next session.”
| Invoking Cloture -
Taft's reference was to the
Senate rule for ' invoking - “‘clo~
PPN et ol Rt S T
l This device shuts off debate,
but under current interpretations
of the rules it can be applied only
when an actual bill is before the
Senate—not when the chamber
is. debating a motion as was the
case in the poll tax fight.
" Taft said the idea of changing
the rule was left over for the
next session because “it probably
will take three or four weeks.”
What he migant was that the Sou
therners probably will filibuster
against that, too.
There had been some talk so
a possible " -compromise on the
civil “rights issue. The Dixie
members -indicated they would
not filibuister against a proposal
to outlaw poll taxes by means of
4 constitutional amendment. This
‘would require a two-thirds vote
in both- House and Senate and
approval by 36 of the 48 states.
But the conference of Republi
can senators decided against this
procedure.
- However, Democratic Senators
Tydings and O'Conor of Mary

Tyding: _ .
Showdown Sought
“If the Republicans really want
to eliminate the poll tax, here's
their opportunity, Let them put
up or shut up.”
Taft and other leaders conced
ed that they face a tight time
table in trying to jam through
their program this week.
"House leaders, invoking rules
that limit debate and bar amend

in Capitol; May Call Wallace
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.— (AP) —President Truman flung 3
“red herring” charge today at Congress mémbers busy probing
into alleged Communist infiltration’ of the government anii'
“spying” during the war. T
He said the Senaie and House heai'ings are intended to divert
attention from the lack of congressional action to combat infla
tion, and are (1) slandering people, and (2) turning up no intojii
mation not already known to the FBI: o
Mr. Truman loosed his attack on the congressional ‘hearings at
a news conference. His remarks were in response to questions,”
At the Capitol, the congressional investigators wree talking of
widening their inquiry. i ; )
Rep. Rankin (D.-Miss.) proposed that the House Un-American
Activities Committee call in Henry A. Wallace for questioning.
He said it appeared that Communists got into “key positions” in
the Commerce Department while Wallace headed it. Acting
Chairman Mundt (R.-S.D.) said the question of subpoenacing:
Wallace would bé considered at a closed 'committee session.
Rep. McDowell (R.-Pa.) told ' the ecommittee that there was
much more to the Communist story than has been breught out.
“As chairman of a special subcommittee of this committee,” he
said, “I can reveal that at the very height of atomic research in
1943 two shipments of uranium compound were made to Russ.ia'.
after tremendous pressure on alli pheses of our government' from
known Russian agents and others who had worked the'ms'elv#'
into positions of importance” g "
Air Shipments . wol
One shipment was of 300 pounds, and the other 1,000 pounds,
McDowell said. They went, he added, “irom a small obscure
airfield in this country.” g p Ly
The subcommittee also has established “almost beyond gues~
tion,” McDowell continued, that shipments of heavy water were
made to Russia during the war, Heavy water, he explained, is 3
substance used in atomic research. . . j o
“This is only the beginning of the story,” he said. “The infjls
tration also was deep 1n the State Department, the Treasury
Department, the War Production Board, and even into the Office
of Strategic Services of the United States Army. ,
McDowell also said he had a telephone call thsi morning “from
a conscience stricken government employee” regarding the
transfer of U. 8. currency plates to Soviet authorities in occupied
Germany. 2
Rankin got out his statement as the House committee prepared
to resume its hearings on alleged Communist activities in the
government. g
Rep. Mundt (R.-S.D.} disclosed the commitige is making some
quiet inquiry into whether there is a present “Communist ring”
in the government. s
“We are investigating,” ihe ficial. ey 4=B R

So far, committee hearings
have dealt only with testimony
that 2 Red espionage sysem was
at work in the government during
the war and that a Communist
“underground” operated here be
fore the war.
However, the Senate Investi
gating committee which is look
