Action Slowed By Bad Weather;
New Cabinet Maps Battle Plans
NANKING, Dec. 23.— (AP)—Nationalist warships at
Tangku, isolated Tientsin’s port city, drove off attacking
Communists today killing 1,500 of them, government
sources said.
i (Associated Press Correspond
ent Spencer Moosa in Peiping said |
many small Red attacks on the |
outskirts of Tientsin had been
repulsed. Last night alone, he |
said, 800 Reds were Kkilled or
wounded, and as a result today
the Communists were inactive. |
(Moosa quoted General Fu
Tso-Yi's headquartres in Peiping
as saying the Redfigr'ere repulsed |
in.almost .every XNorth CJu?a' il
tack. Fu's ;k@aunrgfi said the|
Communists dared not attack
Peiping directly because they
know it is strongly fortified and
the 2,000,000 inhabitants support
the defenders wholeheartedly.
. (Moosa added that whether
’these residents would show their|
support was another questoin. In
‘his opinion the people of Peiding‘
‘want peace above all.) -
Nationalist forces in the Nan-‘
king area took advantage of bad
weather which has eased the ac-!
tion north of here to throw up
defenses south of the Yangtze to
ward which the Reds are creep
ing steadily. The pro-government
Kiangnan Evening Post said the
Nationalists nad increased the
number of watchposts alogg the
eastern reaches of the Yangtze.
Little Action
There was little military action]
immediately north of here.
The quiet, was taken in some‘
quarters to mean that peace feel
ers had been put out to the Cam
munists by members of Premier
Sun Fu's newly formed cabinet.
But . there was no official word
from any source.
At least two of the cabinet
ministers, fromer Premier Chang
Chun and Wong Wen-Hao, com
mander of the northwest head
quarters, are known to favor a
quick peace with the Reds, who
have overrun almost ‘half of
China.
Premier Sun described the cab

JAP PRIEST REVEALS:
Warlords Yell Banzai
Before Gallows Jaunt
TOKYO, Dec. 23.— (AP) —Hideki Tojo and three of
his six war maker companions gave lusty “Banzi” thouts
before they were hanged in Sugamo Prison today.
The last act of defiance by the
four of the seven condemned men
came in the little Buddhist temple
near the death house, Sinso Han
ayama, the priest who attend
them, said.
The Banzai cry — which means
blood for the emperor — featured
the last charges of many Japan
ese soldiers in the great war. Tojo
and his companions also shoutedl
for a greater Nippon before going |
\to the gallows, the priest sand. |
l Tojo, whose military clique
plotted and ordered the infamous
Pearl Harbor attack and plunged
their half the world into its great
est war, asked for a drink of sake
lbefore he went to his death. But
he had to be content with a glass
of weak wine, the priest said.
The priest described Tojo and
the other three of the first four
hanged shortly after midnight as
almost jaunty.
Tojo, said the priest, lef a mes
sage for the world which he was
forbidden by occupation authori
ties to make public. :

Australia Demagds Quster Of
Holland; China Supports Plan
PARIS, Dec. 23.— (AP) —Australia demanded today
that Holland be expelled from the United Nations unless
she halts her attack on the Ifdonesian Republic.
. Colonel W. R. Hodgson of Australia told the U. N. Se
[curity Council the Dutch qasault on the Indonesians was
“the first clear-cut deliberate 'violation of the U. N.
Charter by a member.” !
He called the council’s attention
to Article 25 of the Charter which
says “Members of the United Na
tions agree to accept and carry
out the decisions of the Security
Council.” .
Dr. C. L. Hsia of China opened
the second day of discussion of the
Indonesian dispute in the Security
Council. He declared China will
support the resolution submitted
by Dr. Philip C. Jessup of the
United States yesterday,
' The American resolution calls
for an immediate halt to the fight
ime and orders the Dutch to with
draw fo.positions occupied before
uicy begaa tmeir so-caied “police
action’’ against Indonesia.
‘ 4 Nations Join .
Colombia and- Syria‘ joined® in
supporting the American proposal
vesterday, so China's decision
brought to four the number of
nations certain to support the reso
lution.
Hocgson joined the Chinese del
egate in saying the Netherlands
clearly had broken the Security
Council’s cease fire order of Aug.
1, 1947. .He said they also had vio
lated a “solemn undertaking” to
observe' that Council resolution as
well as later resclutions on the
same subject. )
“If the Security Council faces up
to this matter, there is only omne
course—expulsion from the United
Nations,” Hodgson declared.

Drink Wine
All seven of the Japanese war
leaders grasped wine glasses in
their handcuffed hands and swig
ged a hefty drink before marching
to the gallows, the priest said in
a press conference after the exe
cutions.
Gen. Seisjiro Itagakin who was
hanged for agreesion against Chi
na, told the priest that he prayed
“for the rise and prosperity of
China and Korea.” .
Another of the doomed men,
Koki Hirota, 70, the only civilian,
asked the priest to tell his family
that “I died silently an daclmly.”
Hanayama said that Tojo raised
his Buddha Rosary in his left
hand above his head in a gesture
'of'prayer when he was informed
in the office of the Sugamo com
lmandant yesterday that he would
die this morning. Then, said the
priest, Tojo mumbled to the com=~
mandant in English:
“Okay, Okay.”
Tojo asked the priest to thank
prison officials for his treatment.
He ordered a last meal of frice,
soy bean soup, broiled fish, cof
fee, meat and jam, the priest said.
Hanayama said he had been
forbidden to make public any
thing that happened in the prison
except religious subjects.

anxious to try his luck at this
American institution again.
Mitchell says the English Christ

year. A o :

of the yuletide is the broadecast of

Duggan Cleared
On Spy Charges
NEW YORK, Dec. 23—(AP)—
A member of the House un-Amer
ican Activities Committee has
given the late Laurence Duggan a
clean bill of health in connection
with spy-ring activities.
Rep. Richard M. Nixon (R-
Calif.) said on a television broad
cast last night from Washington
that recent developments had
cleared the former State Depart
ment expert in ‘“this espionage
case.”
His statement came as a New
York City medical examiner re
ported that an autopsy showed
“no evidence of criminality” in
Duggan’s fatal 16-story fall from
a Manhatton office Monday night.
“We may never know exactly
what happened,” said Dr. Thomas
‘A. Gonzales the examiner. “Hhe
could have been pushed. We do
know he was not assaulted, not
beaten, nor strangled.”

Reduction Of Georgia
Teacher Pay Foreseen
Budget Officials Say Ten Percent
Cut Will Be Necessary In January
ATLANTA, Dec. 23— (AP) —Budget officials indi
cated today more than 20,000 state-paid scnool teachers
will take a ten percent salary cut in January. ; ,
- No cash is in sight, they said, to continue a ten percent
increase awarded during November and December by
former &overnor M. E. Thompson.
Thompson - transferred the
money, $350,000 per month, from
highway funds which were tied
uE then by a eourt injunction.
oth Gev, * Herman Talmadge
and State Auditor B. E. Thrasher,
jr., said today they saw no like
ly source of funds to continue the
raises. . ‘
Thus teachers got a Christmas
present in reverse from the state
salaries for January probably
will drop back to the October
level. ' A »
" A tentative budget for the new
calendar yéar fixes state expendi
tures at $108,000,000. That is
equal to present outlay and pres-,
revenue, Thrasher ' said that's a
tight operation, and it would
take $4,200.000 more to continue
the increased teacher salary scale
a full year. 3
The only ‘apparent way to get
that amount would be to take it
from another department. Both
‘Thrasher and Talmadge indicated
it would be impractical to take
such a large sum from another
agency. They said they had no
plans for such a transfer,
; No Authority
Talmadge said he had no au
thority to .allocate funds above
state income, ;
The State Department of Edu
cation has made no plea to con
liinue the raise, Thrasher. said.

Phone Rate
Hikes In
Effect Here .
New telepggne rate increases
which go into effect immediately
here and elséwhere in Georgia
were announced “today. In Ath
ens the hike will cost residence
phone users up to 50 cents more a
month and business, phone users
up to $1.50 more. L
Elsewhere in the state the hike
costs residence phone users up to
50 cents more and business phone
users up to $2.75 more.
Fulton Superior Judge Bond Al=
mand yesterday authorized South
ern Bell Telephone to hike its
rates. The company said the in
creases would be effective imme
diately. ’ ’
Second Hike
It was the second emergency
hike approved by Judge Almz}mi
within three months. The Georgi
Public Service Commission said it
would appeal the order ¢o the State
Supreme Court.
The two emergency increases
will boost Southern Bell’s annual
income by between $6,500,000 and
$7,000,000. C. J. Yates, Southern
Bell’'s Georgia manager, said the
increases will give the company
approximately 6 2-3 percent re
turn on its net investments.. They
are to be in effect until the Pub
lic Service Commission fixes a
permanent rate schedule.
Southern Bell’s rate increase pe
ltitions have been before the com
mission since November, 1946. The
company contended it needed
emergency relief to prevent” daily
confiscation of its property.”
Commission Chairman Walter R,
McDonald said the order allows
the company.to increase its earn
ing by $7,000,000 a year instead of
the $3,715,000 originally asked of
the commigsion.
.Yates said no residence rate
hikes would exceed 50 cents a
mo,nth. This would be in addition
to residence phone increases of up
to 50 cents.a month in August.:
- -Business phone*inereases- will be
greater, jumping as much as $2.7§
a'month in Atlanta. :
Judge Almand on August 24
granted an emergency rate hike,
but set a ceiling of some 35,500,000.
In his order yesterday, the judge
lifted that restriction.
Company 'officials said the pre
viously granted increases were in~
sufficient to produce a 6.6 percent
return on its investment. .
Southern Bell President Hal Du
mas said yesterday’s order will
give the utility a “reasonable re
turn on its investment and will
permit us to go ahead with a very
comprehensive construction pro
gram which Georgia needs. A
substantial part of ‘the program
will be in rural areas.”
Present-Day Costs
Yates said the court action will
allow the company to make effec
tive a reasonable rate schedule to
meet present-day costs of provid
ing service, and to continue ex
pansion. g
He said the new rate schedules
were filed with the Public Eervice
Commission yesterday afternoon.
For Athens the new rates are:
BUSINESS PHONES——IWJ&L
$7.25 (increase of $1.50); two. par
ty, $6.00 ‘(increase of sl.oo}§s!6m'-
