Century Mark
By The Associated Press
The nation’s death toll from vio
lent accidents over the Thanks
giving Day holiday passed the 100
mark, a survey showed today.
The total of 105 fatalities from
6 p. m. Wednesday to midnight
Thursday (local time) compared
with a violent death toll of 128
for Thanksgiving Day last year.
On the same holiday in 1946 there
were 82 deaths from violent ac
cidents.
About two-thirds of the fatali
ties on the holiday resulted from
accidents on the highway. The
survey showed that 80 persons lost
their lives ih traffic mishaps. The
other 25 died in accidents from
miscellaneous causes, including
drowning, plane crashes and falls.
The National Safety Council did
not make an estimate of the prob
able number of deaths by accidents
for the period. i
The toll by states, listing traffic
and miscellaneous:
Arizoha 2-0; Argansas 1-1; Cal

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
l Major fighting was expected
along the Suhsien-Lingpi highway
where both sides were bringing up
| reinforcements.
The new development in the
battle for Suchow, gateway to the
jcapital, came as national forces in
ithe Peiping-Tientsin area got rea
ldy for a major battle for that area
jof North China.
! The Central News Agency, quot
) ing a headquarters spokesman, said
. government forces had not recap
tured Suhsien, which almost hour
}ly in the past four days has been
described by various sources as in
the hands of one of the other war
ring factions.
, Government dispatches from
lSuchow said a decisive battle was
| expected shortly. Control of the
,northern Yangtze region hinged on
developments. 0,
’ Red units east of Suchow cov
jering the Communist southward
\movements were said to be taking
ia beating at the hands of govern
‘ment ground and Air Forces.
‘ Break Expected
| In Peiping a government offi
cial said a battle second only in
size and importance to the Suchow
struggie will break in that area in
a few days.
| North China’s supreme com
imander, Gen. Fu Tso-Yi in a
‘speech before army cadets said
the situation there was completely
{ different from that which prevail
‘ed in Manchuria, where the mo

feat was inevitable. In the Peip

sls Billion Seen As Ceiling
For American Defense Program
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—(AP)
—Senator Tydings (D-Md) served
notice on the armed services to
day that the new Congress will
aim at a $15,000,000,000 ceiling on
defense costs next year.
“We must keep America strong
and the world at peace,” he said,
“but do that with the idea that
the taxpayer also must survive.”
“We will cut out every bit of
military expense that is not fully
justified,” he told a reporter.
Tydings is due to become chair
man of the Senate Armed Services
Committee when the Democrats
take over Congress January 3. He
also will be a ranking member of
the Appropriations Committee,
which has a hold on government
pursestrings. -

There's Always
Room For At
Least Six More
ELLINGTON, Colo., Nov. 26—
—(AP)—You think you gotta
housing problem? :
The tiny three room James
Geary residence, bulging with
10 persons already, will open
its door to six more today.
“It’ll be glad to see them, of
courst, but where it the world
can we put them?” said Mrs.
Geary, 53, mother of seven
and grandmother of eight.
The incoming six are her
daughter, Mrs. Emma Dorsey
26, of Panora, Towa, and her
five children. The Salvation
Army boosted them along with
but and meal tickets yester
day after officers found them
hitch-hiking westward toward
Wellington along a Nebraska
highway near Omaha.
Police Solve
Road Murder
BELLAIRE, Mich., Nov:. 26—
(AP)—With three men under ar
rest, including a father and son, a
soiution was claimed today to the
highway-pursuit killing of 25-
year-old Gerald Lee.
The once baffling case turned
out to have one of the simplest of
explanations.
State police Capt. Earl Hatha
way said that Theodore McNeal,
19, Grand Rapids factory worker
here for deer hunting, admitted
firing the fatal shot from his
father’s car but only with intent
to scare them.”
The young mun said, according
to Hathaway, that the shooting
followed a pursuit of Lee’s light
truck after the two vehicles had
bumped fenders in town traffic.
Several shots were fired in a wild
chase. : 5
Lee was killed south of here
early Wednesday by a rifle shot in
the back. He was driving with Mrs.
Goldie Long, 22, his “date” on an
earlier tour of taverns. Mrs. Long,
estranged from her husband, es
caped injury. : 4
For a time police worked on a
theory that Lee might have been
shot in revenge for his alleged as
sault of a 114-year-old girl, but
this proved groundless. Lee was
awaiting trial on -the assault
charge. §
for purely armed services at home
and abroad we will make expendi
tures less and certainly no greater
than the present vear.”-
The cwrent defense budget
ranges around $15,000,000,000. But
next year, Tydings said, “we may
be able to cut it to 14 1-2, 14 or
12. We'll have to be a little tough
and make them prove thir cases.”
Full Report
Tydings said the armed services
committee plans'to call in Secre
tary of State Marshall and Secre
tary of Defense Forrestal at the
start of the next Congress for a
full report on world conditions,
" Commenting that defense and
foreign occupation policies are not
“static propositions,” the veteran
Marvgiand Senator said:

Research
On Berlin
PARIS, Nov. 26—(AP) — The
neutral members of the United
Nations Security Council speeded
their search for an answer to the
Berlin problem at a meeting last
ing until the smaill hours this
morning.
Argentine Foreign Minister Juan
Bramuglia, who has only five daye
left as President of the Security
Council, called the meeting. No de
tails were made available after the
session ended.
The neutrals had before them
the Russian and Western Power
replies to a questionnaire worked
out by legal and financial experts
on the knotty problems of Berlin's
currency.
Bramuglia and other neutral
members still awaited further re
taus trom the Western Powers, to
whom they addressed supplemen
tary queries.
Diplomats here meanwhile
awited hourly developments
which would indicate the success
or failure of the latest attempt at
mediating the differences between
the Russians and the West.
One possibility was the sum
moning of a council meeting to
figure out a‘' new resolution to
which both sides presumably
would have given consent as an
acceptable basis for agreement.
Such a resolution, if it materi
alizes, probably would take the,
form of recommendations to both
parties to take certain actions
leading to lifting of the Russian‘l
blockade and straightening out the
currency snarl in Berlin. :
Another possibility was an an
nouncement by Bramuglia that all
his mediation efforts had failed.
He doubtless would give his rea
sons for the failure.
Informants close to Bramuglia
said yesterday ‘he had prépered a
new formula coveing “the whole
picture” of the dispute, including
the currency question.
Wrecking Crews

FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Nov.

from two wrecker trains early to
day strove to clear the tracks near
here where the = Atlantic Coast
Line’s East Coast Champion ram
med into cars of a derailed freight
train.
About a dozen cars from the
freight train were scattered near
Hamilton’s crossing, four :miles
south of here. The Champion’s en

Bound from New Pork to Miami,
the Champion hi: the freight
shortly after 8 p. m. (EST) yes

Champion, was hospitalized in
Fredericksburg with slight back
injuires, hospital attendants said.
A passenger on the Champion re

GOV.-ELECT SCOTT
FOUND ON VACATION
RALEIGH, N. C.,, Nov. 26 —
(AP)—Governor-elect Kerr Scott,
whose whereabouts for the past
four days has been a mystery, is
on a vacation, his secretary said
today.
Miss Martha Fleming, the sec
retary, did not share concern ex
pressed by many since the Gover
nor-elect’s disappearance last Sun
day.
“He’s on vacation,” she said.
“That’s all T know. I don’t know
where.”
Friends began wondering about
Scott’s absence last Monday when
he failed to show up for a meet
ing of the Advisory Budget Com
mission as he had planned.
“We want to be brought up to
date on the hazards to peace both
in the East and the West. Then we
want to know how they affect the
peoce of our own. nation.”
He said the armed services
group also will take a fresh look
at the draft law to see how it is
meeting military manpower needs.
Tydings said he plans to rein
troduce legislation to put the Air
Force on a full 70-group combat
basis. The House approved such a
plan last session bui the Senate
later modified it. 8
At the same time, he expressed
opposition to any special congres
sional inquiry into bickerings be
tween the Air Force and Navy.
No one expected the unification
act to “work smoothly” right
away, Tvdings said.
ATHENS, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1948
Bulldogs Seek SEC Crown,
Bowl Bid Here Tomorrow
Georgia Given Slight Edge
On Wet Turf; 51,000 Expected
RY 808 OLIVER
Banner-Herald Sports Editor
The query today is “Do you have any tickets to the
Georgia-Georgia Tech game?”
Some 51,000 will be lucky holders of ducats tomorrow
afternoon at 2:30 when the Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets
go to battle in Sanford Stadium in a big football panora
ma that holds the key to the Southeastern Conference
championship.
Georgia only needs a victory (a
big order) in this tilt to cinch the
SEC crown. Should they lose, and
Mississippi beat Mississippi State,
the coveted award will fall into
the hands of the Rebels.
Both clubs will be at full
strength, with the exception of
Tech’s Hays McKinney, who broke
an ankle in the game with Citadel
last week. Frank Zeigler, big
Jacket fullback, still has his hand
in a cast, but will start the game
in the Tech backfield and is ex
pected to be one of the big offen
sive threats for the Atlanta school.
Latest weather report at this
writing calls for rain tonight, but
the “liquid sunshine” is supposed
to cease before game time. The
field is already soggy from early
week rain, and downpour tonight
would put matters in a bad state.
’ Guard Attack
Experts say that Georgia will
have the advantage on a wet field,
due to the harder-running backs
on the Bulldog team. However,
Waly Butts would gladly give the
Techsters this advantage and play
on a dry field, where the passes
of All-American quarterback
Johnny Rauch would be in com
mand.
Rain, shine or otherwise, the
ground-work of such bacl:f as Joe
Geri, John Tillitski, and Floyd
Reid will be a true asset to the
homelings. At the same time, Tech
has a couple or three who can
go in fast company -~ Dinky
Bowen, Zeigler, and Bob McCoy.
The Bulldogs are bei? rated
seven-points favorites in the clash.
Money is falling on both sides, al
though if it rains tomorrow the
odds will be brought down to a
possible even game.
3 All-American
There will be three All-Ameri
ca -candidates in the line-ups.
Georgia has Rauch, and the Yel
low Jackets possess a pair in Bill
Healy, guard, and George Broad
nax, towering end.
One of the most looked-for
ward-to aspects of the game is the
line play of the two clubs. Both
are supposed to have top forward
walls, with the Jackets having the
best record to date. The Tech team
is first in the mnation in defense,
and that strong line has played a
major roll in compiling this rec
ord. )
Tech will have a decided ad
vantage at end. Broadnax, Jimmy
i Castleberry and others give the
blue-jersied lads from the Flats
a goed flank corp. But Georgia,
while not having ends on a par
with these, should get by with the
services of Lorendo, Sellers, Wals
lton, Connally, and Chandler.
Line Equar
' With the execption of the two
ends, the rest of the line should
'be about equal, with possible a
slight edge given to the Bulldogs
at right tackle where a big fellow
|named Porter Payne plays.
In the backfield, Georgia defi
!nitely has an advantage at quar
terback, where Rauch is superior
|to either Southard or Brown. In
Ifact, the entire Bulldog backfield
may be given an edge, although
'the Jackets have more speed. Bob
McCoy is better than any break
| away runner the Georgians have.
But such scampers as Donalson,
'Brunson, Mixon, and others will

Nation's Ports Resume
Action As Strikers End
S3O Billion In Aid Goods Freed
As Long, Costly Tieups Settled
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.— (AP) —Terms for set
tling waterfront strikes on East and West Coasts today
cleared the decks for early resumption of normal Amer
ican shipping. ‘
Negotiators in the 86-day CIO
longshore strike on the Pacific
Coast announced settlement terrms
last night. Earlier in the 'day ne
gotiators agreed on peace in the
17-day strike of AFL Longshore
men on the Atlantic Coast. -
- "'Both ‘tentative agreements must
be ratified by the union member
ships before some 515 strike
bound ships put to sea.
On the Pacific Coast four other
unions are involved in the strike,
but the longshore terms are con
sidered the key to peace. The four
other: unions - scheduled meetings
with management today.
,+Final - settlement would return
92,000 to maritime jobs and many
thousands more to work in other
industries halted or curtailed by
the strike.
It would release some $30,000,-
000 of Marshall Plan cargo in
eastern docks and restore business
running into the millions of dol
lars. .
The Pacific tieup, second long
est in history, has cost by estimate
of the Pacific American shipown
ers about $344,000,000 in trade at
the rate of $4,000,000 a day.
; Pay Hike Okayed
The negotiators agreement
boosts the Western long
shore basic’ wage by 15 cents to
$1.82 an hour, which was the
amount the union was asking when
it struck Sept. 2.
The AFL union officers tenta
tively agrees on a 13 cent hike
retroactive to Aug. 21 to bring the
eastern daytime base scale to
SI.BB an hour.
The 65,000 AFL union members
vote Saturday on the terms. The
union’s lowest previous demand
was 25 cents above the prestrike
$175 hourly daytime rate.
Waterfront observers predicted
unibn ratification of the Pacific
lagreemem: but believed that if no
hitches deevloped it would be
about a week before dock work

One Killed In
Prison Break
CHICAGO, Nov. 28 — (AP)—
One prisoner was killed and eight
other surrendered after the nine
criminals sawed their way out of
the Cook county jail last night
and were trapped in the jail yard.
Two jail guards thwarted the
daring attempt of the prisoners,
many of them ex-convicts, to
clumb over the 22-foot wall after
escaping from their first floor
cells.
The prisoners, awaiting transfer
to state prisons, fled from the jail

nine men immediately. When they
ignored his -command to halt he

Soviet Russia’s relations with
Germany will not be dealt with in
separate volumes but will be in
cluded in two wolumes telling of
General Nazi Foreign policy prior
