at a lower price.” >

BAXLEY, Ga.—Aug. 7T—Carry=

nor M. E. Thompson today spoke
to a cheering, enthusiastic throng,}
of 20,000 people here from at
least _ thirty-five counties froml
the Eighth Congressionai district‘
and other adjoining districts.
Estimate of the crowd was
made by Judge Mel Price of the
Atlantic Judicial Circuit and the
Mayor of Douglas, both of whom
sat on the platform with 'the
Governor. )
As the Goyernor called the
names of some thirty-five coun
ties, delegations from them held
up their hands while the others
present cheered each delegation.
It was the ‘largest crowd that!
has ever gathered in this district
and Governor ' Thompson said it
was the largest crowd that has
ever attended a political meeting
“in this or any other campaign
in the history of the state,” a
‘statement greeted by cheers of
‘agreement by the huge assembly.

. One of the largest delegations
}present was from Telfair and the

GOP Congress Passes Own
Housing And Inflation Bills
Truman Proposals Ignored;
Adjourn Until December 31
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.— (AP) —Congress wrote its
own ticket today on anti-inflation and housing legisla
tion, then slammed the door on the extra session calied
by President Truman.
The House -adjourned at 7:31
p. m. (Eastern Standard Time);
the Senate at 8:39 . m, They had
met July 26 and nad been in ses
sion 11 working day:.
The adjournment was until De
cember 31, with a provision that
the session may be' resumed
earlier on call of the Repubkiican
leaders. \
With a few minor exceptions,
the lawmakers rewrote, blocked,
of just plain ignored the far
ranging program Mr. Truman
presented with a “urgent’ laber.
The President’s eight-point
anti-inflation program emerged
cut down to two; revived curbs
on installment buyving and high
er reserve requirements for banks
belonging to the Fcderal Reserve
System. The Senate beat back by
a 53 to 33 vote a Democratic at
tempt to revive rationing. prie
aind wage contra’ powers. The
Truman plan to bring back the
excess profits tax wasn’'t even
considered.
Low Cost Ilomes
Republicans said their housing
bill would encourage the con
struction of low-cost homes and
rental housing But it omitted the
federal subsidies for public
housing and slum clearance that
were features of tie Taft-Ellen
der-Wagner housing bill endersed
by the President.
Mr. Truman had his way with
out quibbling on only one major
teen months in office and assert
ed that the only real issue in this
campaign is his record. He
charged that before the campaign
started Herman Talmadge and
Roy Harris had talked about the
Thompson record in office and
had so walked into a trap. He
said that since he had placed his
record as the main issue, Tal
mage and Harris had quit talking
about “my record though I have
been trying in every speech I've
made to get them to accept the!
challenge they first laid down
and 1 accepted and which they
have now run out on.” y
Reads Message
The Governor read from the
House Journal while Talmadge
was occupying the Governor’s
office before the Supreme Court
ruled he held it illegally, the
Budget message of Talmadge in
which he said it was necessary
to raise $32,000,000 in addjtional‘
revenue in order to continue the
‘public services provided by the
state.
He then listed the things ac
somplished by him in office
vithout the additional $32,000,-

sary, heading the list with the
350,000,000 he has made availa

Until the .last couple of days,

Democratic senators against the
anti-poll tax bill. The other was
o sensational series of hearings,
before House and Senate commit

Those hearings - brought bitter
words from both the White House
and Capitol.

publicans of trying to hide the
shortcomings of Congress by a
“Red herring” hunt for Commun

Then, in the Senate’s closing
hours, Senator Ferguson (R-
Mich) went so far as to speak of
“impeachment.”
“Congress,” he declared, ‘‘is
rapidly being pushed into the in
tolereble position of having to
legifate through a blind spot or
compel the President to answer
for his conduct in an impeach
ment proceeding.”

The Governor said that for
months his opposition had gone
around charging the purchase of |
Jekyll Island would turn out to
oce a “white elephant” but that
since thousands of Georgians
from one end of the state to the
sther, including hundreds of edi
tors, have visited the island, the
opposition “now realizes that it's
not a ‘white elephant’ they are
seeing but a ‘pink elephant.’” '
Governor Thompson reminded‘
nis listeners both at Baxley and
those hearing his address over a
statewide network of radio sta
tions that he will speak at the
regular Monday night rally in
Atlanta at 8 p. m. with John C.!
Beasley, appointed by Eugene
Talmadge as his State Banking
Superintendent, and that next
Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock

Berliners Warn Allies
Against A' “New Munich”
BERLIN, Aug. 7---(AP)—Con
cern was reported growing among
western Berliners tonight that a
“New Munich” may be in the
making in four-power negotiations
on Germany taking place in Mos
cow.
| Calling for a firm western stand
‘against new demands by the Rus
‘sians, the Socialist newspaper
Telegraf said the “brave attitude
displayed by Berlin” under the
Soviet blockade had ‘“earned this
city assurances of a free Democra
)tic life.”
| “Unfortunately,” the newspaper
said, “There is evidence today
that, despite their sorry experi
ences since 1945, the democracies
again are inclined to trust the pro
'mises of a totalitarian power. Any
‘one who believes that the differ
‘ences between the democracies and
Russian totalitarianism can be re
‘solved merely on the German
problem or the Berlin question is
‘om the road to a new Munich.”

Mystery Man
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 —
(AP)—The House un-Amarican
Activities Committee revealed
today that Alexander Koral is
the mystery witness supposed to
help crack the real story of a
Red spy network.
But the committee was as mys
terious as ever about who Koral
is. :
A subcommittee which hurried
to New York yesterday to see
the key witness questioned Ko~
ra]l last night. In Washington to
day, Rep. Mundt (R-SD), acting
committee chairman, told re
porters:
“lhe fellow they went up
specifically to see was Koral. He
was supposed to lead to another
witness not yet mentioned.”
. In New York, the subcommit
itee fired questions today at: _
‘ Earl Browder, deposed head of
the Communist party; Victor Per-
Llo, accused of being leader of one
group of government officials al
leged to have slipped wartime
isecrets to Russian Agents; Whit
taker Chambers, who has testi
’fied already that he was courier
for a pre-war Communist under=~
| ground in Washington of which,
lhe said, Perlo was a member.
Arrangements were under way
to question both Koral and Per
lo in public hearings here Mon=
day .The plans will be worked
out tomorrow at a special Sun=
day session of the committee. The
subcommittee is supposed to re=
port then on its New York trip.
' “Wide Open”
It was Mundt who had an
'nounced originally a mystery
witness had been located. He
said this witness's testimony,
added to that of Chambers and
Miss Elizabeth T. Bentley, would
crack the spy case ‘wide open.”
Mundt said the mystery man,
who could confirm existence of
this spy ring, was *“obscure” in
the public mind. That descrip
tion certainly fitted Koral. -
Nobody on the committee
would identify him.
the Berlin City Council, told a
rally of Berliners in the French
sector that a “poor compromise
'must not be decided upon at the
cost of us Berlin cellar-dwellers.”
I The Moscow talks have been
iwrapped in secrecy.
| The Telegraf and Suhr may have
based their remarks on a Russian
licensed news agency dispatch
’quoting “informed Washington cir
|des" to the effect President Tru-~
man and Secretary of State Mar
|shall had agreed in principle to
withdrawal of western-sponsored
currency from Berlin.
‘ Actually, thé western powers are
| issuing more of their money. They
arranged for credits to firms
}whose banks accounts in the Rus
sian sector have been blocked by
a Russian order. :
Despite rainy skies today, the
British and American transport
fleets set a new record of 666
flights into Berlin with supplies
for the blockaded city.
