“We're going o have more

Before last night’s session
opened observers*@ere artfl aproad
predicted that it was to have
been the last meeting. - .
Asked about the progress of the
talks, the American envoy said:
“We're always optimistic. We
expect the best and prepare for
the worst.”
Smith had given a ‘“no com=-

previous meetings.
It was learned on excellent au

4 American
Fliers Killed
RAVOTZHAUSEN, Germany,
Aug. 24-a(AP)—Two American
planes ~on the supply run to
blockaded Berlin collided outside
this American zone town today,
killing four U. S. fliers.
The planes were two-engined
C-475. They plunged into corn
fields around this village which
is 14 miles northeast of Frank
furt. The planes were returning
to Wiesbaden from Berlin, where
they had delivered supplies.
Names of the victims were
withheld pending notification of
next of kin. :
_Hours after the collision,
flames of the wreckage prevent

ers could see only one body in
the tangle of debris.
A spokesman for the U. S. Air

ever, the Dakotas on the Berlin
run carry two men each and
there was no reason to doubt
that four men had perished. He
said there might even have been
hitech-hiking passengers aboard.

Election Referendum
On Mob Rule, Nix Says
Radio Debate
On WCON Is
Hot At Times
ATLANTA, Aug 24—(AP)—
As one candidate for Governor
of Georgia said to the other: “We
got pretty hot, didn’'t we?”
With agreement on this point,
Governor M. E. Thompson and;
Herman Talmadge ended their
first personal encounter 1n a
radio ‘»rum during the heat of
the gubernatorial campaign.
After a half-hour of hurling
their choice charges at each other
face-to-face, they turned 1o
handshaking, smiles and pleasan
tries and walked out comparing
their high school debating days.
The accusations they leveled
at arm’s length across a table et
Radio Station WCON were just a
shade milder than the tirades
delivered from the campaign
stump.
Partisans who crowded outside
the studio laughed and applauded
the better sallies of each. Editor
Ralph McGill of . the Atlanta
Constitution kept the show going
with piont-blank questions. The
Constitution and Station WCON
sponsored the forum as a public
service.
That was one of at least four
poliitcal broadcasts over the
air waves. Taimaage nad just
finished his weekly address over
WSB. Thompson’s forces had just
aired their weekly Atlanta rally,
with associates taking the leading
roles while the Governor rested
for the debate.
Candidates Hoke O'Kelly and
Joe Rabun also kept the pace
with radio talks. g
In the radio roundtable, the
candidates were asked jointly fox']
the first time how they proposed‘
to finance thier promised educa
tional expansion program and’
other services without additional:
revenue. Editor McGill reminded’
{i:em the Educatronal Foundation
Program would call for $30,000,-
000 in additional revenue, but
both candidates have opposed
new taxes. |
Thompsen came back quickly‘}
with the suggestion that the best
way to finance the program
wolild be “to keep M. E. as Gov
ernor.” He pointed out that rev
enues jumped $i9,000,000 the
first. vear. he was Revenue Com
missioner and they've been |
climbing even higher while hel
has been Governor.

rogative” Then Talmadge sugs
(0% On Page Five) :j
Frequently interrupted by cheers and applause, Abit
Nix speaking for Governor M. E. Thompson over & state
wide radio network last night, told his listeners that on
September 8 the people will ““decide the issue as between
a young man who was the willing tool of scheming and
violence-bent politicians who insulted our Constitution as
well as the sensibilities of the law-abiding peQ‘ple of
Georgia to launch those 67 Black Days in the early part
of 1947, and a man w%o upholds the Constitution and
believes in preserving the principles of democratic gov-
ernment.” oy
“Thesdecision’ in this race, my
friends, was made 'in the minds
of thousands of Georgia voters
auring Januery 1947, more than
one- year “ago and their = vote
against storm-troopers, violence,
disregard of law ahd self-respec
©ing public opinion will confirm
their decisions at the polls on the
eighth day of next month,” he
said.
Mr. Nix said that while the
cendidates in this race have spent
many days and delivered many
speeches telling the people what
the candidate say the issues are,
“in their minds and hearts the
solid citizens of Georgia know
what the paramount issue is;
they know thaton September Bth
there will be referendum on the
seizure of the State Capitol by
armed men in the service of the
Little. Boss from Richmond,” and
¢caded that the people Kknow
“there never has been and there
is now but one issue; Shall the
people ratify, shall the people
approve the assault against law
and order made in January 1947!”
Near Distatorship
The speaker pointed out how
nearly Georgia came to being
placed under a dictatorship and
szid that there are still some who
believe it ‘“can’t happen here.”
“Well, it almost happened
nearly two years ago and it will
happen if the people are not on
their guard against the would-be
dictators,” he asserted.
He reminded those who might
say it couldn’t happen irn Georgia
that it did happen in Louisiana
under Huey Long and added:
