000,000 to keep prices of 1948 crops from falling below,
levels fixed by law. : 3

HISS, CHAMBERS MEET AT SENATE PROBE — Alger Hiss (standing, right),
and Whittaker Chambers (standing, lefi), meet during a dramatic moment of the
House Un-%mérican Activities Committee hearing in Washington, Hiss and Cham

is investigating Communist activities. Robert Stripling, chief counse! for the com

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Any changes wouid have tg/, -
made by Congress, however Qfi
the lawmakers are not dug® .
until aJnuary. £
Discussion’ of the price‘{ & ort
problem was heard ar «f the
Agriculture Departmi ® where
officials are mapping ou, a 1949
farm production program. Its goal
is to get farmers to start cutting
back from high wartime levels in
some crops — particularly wheat,
potatoes, oilseeds, and possibly
corn.
A proposal that 8 per cent less
land be planted to wheat already
has been announced. But reports
from the field indicate that grow
ers plan to ignore the Depart
ments recommendations and plant
another big acreage.
The action of Congress in June
in extending the wartine price
supports for basic crops another
year was said to be influencing the
farmers‘ wheat plans. Officials
said growers of other crops also
are likely to ignore suggestions
for smaller output of crops zl
ready listed as surplus.
The Truman administration
had urged lower price supports
for next year’s crops.
Cutback Seought
Officiels said present support
levels might encourage big cropg
egain next year which °= would
involve another $1,500,000,000 in
price supports.
Of course, the government
would have commodities to show
for the bulk of its financial out
lay. Whether it would lose money
would depend on future crop and
market developments. It could
come out even if crops fell short
and prices rose later.
Officials say they doubt that
there will be “too much” farmer
opposition to lower price supports
mext. year.. Most . of: the . maior
ferm organizations favored the
cuts when the legislation was
pending in Congress. v
Talmadge, said actually the Gov
ernor is playing the part of a
“political puppet.”’
Talmadge tat Dalton asserted
Thompson is “nothing but a po
litical puppet”’ for former Gov.
E D. Rivers and Ellis Arnall, two
of his campaign managers. He
said he knew the majority of the
people would not vote for “such
an unholy trio.”
Thompson asked hearers at
Fayetteville to consider him as &
school professor and let him give
th’em a brief lesson in the three
R'si
The first “R,” he said, should
stand for remembrance of the 67
days and “67 dark nights” Tal
madge held the governor’s office
after election by the legislature.
The second “R,” Thompson
said, was for his record as gov
ernor and the third, for rumors
he cleimed Talmadge backers are
spreading about him.

Next 2 Weeks Critical
Period In Polio Fight
A report from the Athens and Clarke County Department of
Health states that the next two weeks will be a very critical period
in the fight against Infantile Paralysis in this county.
In a written statement to the public through the Banner-Herald,
Health Commissioner Wedford W. Brown states:
“The next two weecks will be a very eritical period in the fight
against Infantile Paralysis in Clarke county.
“A few localities in North Carclina are lifting some of their
rigid quarantine regulations at this time. The results of this pro
cedure have already been felt in our City as North Carolina citi
zens rush to Georgia for a vacation and relaxation from their long
restriction before their children return to school.
“There are definitely more people from North Carolina in Geor
gia today than at any time this summer.
“There are more individuals quarantined in Clarke county at
this time than at any time this summer. \
o “If our citizens continue their fine cooperation and we cah con
¥§ .e to isolate visitors from North Carolina, we should by the
4,\" ~teenth (15) of September be comparatively safe for this year.
™ “To the Citizens of this community, to officials of the University
and all Civic and Welfare Organizations of Ciarke couniy, we
voice our thanks for your cooperation up to the present time, but
warn that any relaxation on your part esvecially for the next two
weeks might well mean disaster for this community.

miles southeast of Miami today.
The big passenger-freight ocean liner is enroute from
New York to Capetown, South Africa. She reported ne
danger but “very rough seas” in a message to the
Weather Bureau’s storm warning service at Miami.

section of the Atlantic which
storm forecasters said “is a
blank unless a ship is there.” The

tropical blow early yesterday.
Her message reported:
«Baromeler 20.80 inches and
falling about .10 inch per hour.
Temperature 87, win force 9
(about 50 miles an hour), in
creasing and varying slowly from
east to southeast. Sea very rough,
sky solid overcast, light rain.”
A Russian ship, the Petmakis
Nomikos, was at the western edge
of the storm and informed the
Weather Bureau by radio that
the barometer had dropped to
29.52 and continued to fall.

Heads Named
At a meeting of the Clarke
County Petroleum Industries
Committee held last night at 8:00
p. m. in the Chamber of Com
meice, J. J. Thomas of the Guif
'oil Company was elected chair
man of the group. Other officers
of the organization elected were
G. V. McCarson (Texaco) and H.
E. Holsapple ' (Standard), vice
chairmen, and Garland F. Hulme
Hulme (Shell), secretary. |
The group went on record,
through the adoption of a resolu
tion, favoring the repeal of the
1% cents per gallon Federal gas
oline- tax and the 6 cents per
gallon Federal lubricating oil
levy. The group endorsed a sev
en-point program of objectives
for 1948-1949, which was offered
by the Georgia Petroleum Indus
tries Committee, the parent or-~
ganization. \
The meeting was addressed by
Neil W. Printup, Atlanta, Execu
tive Secretary of the Georgia
Petroluem Industries Committee.
He stressed the vital importance
of concerted action for the suc
cessful operation of the county
group. A color slide film was
presented by Printup. |
Mr. Printup pointed out the
fact that Georgia is collecting
about $35,000,000 from the State
gasoline tax of 6 cents per gai
lon as compared with about $26,~°
000,000 collected in the peak
pre-war year of 1941, :
“Georgia’s highway users
should be one of the first groups|
given tax relief,” he stated. “Onl
every gallon of gasoline the con
sumer pays a tax of 7%.cents——'
6 cents State and 1'.2 Federal.” |
A long-range highway planning
program was advocated by Mr.
Printup as one of the most ur
gent needs for developing and
maintaiing an adequate road sys
tem which is so vital to the
economy of Georgia.
