2 100,000 Celebrate
Visitors estimated roughly at

U. S. Agencies At Odds Over Clay
Proposal For German Made Ships

Another Major Issue In Cold War
WASHINGTON, March 1. — (AP) — Government
agencies were reported at odds today over a proposal
from General Lucius D. Clay to let the Western Germans
build and operate ocean-going:ships. ;
It is a major policy issue which
involves Britain and France and
the cold war with Soviet Russia,
Officials said American view
points are so conflicting the de
cision almost certainly will be put
up to President Truman—one of
the signers of the 1945 Potsdam
agreement which prohibits the
building by Germany of “all types”
of seagoing vessels.
Representatives of American
ship operators and maritime
unions have filed sharp protests
with the State Department against
any revival of Germany as a world
shipping rival.
Clay is understood to have Army

that the time has come to spur
the recovery of the Western occu

Talmadge Willing To Lease
Jekyll Island To Thompson
ATLANTA, March I.—(AP)—Governor Hermen Tal
madge said today he had just as soon lease Jekyl Island to
former Governor M. E. Thompson ‘“as anyone else.” ;
At the same time, State Parks Director Newton Moye
announced the replacement of Jekyll Park Director
James Page, effective today.
Page, a long-time Talmadge po
litical leader, was replaced today
by Harold L. Zellner, assistant
State Parks director under Moye.
Moye said Page had resigned
and the resignation had been ac
cepted.
Zellner will direct the political
hotspot until a lease arrangement
can be completed or until a new
permanent director is named,
Moye said.
Thompson, who bought the for
mer millionaires’ hideaway for
use as a state park, wired Tal
madge last night that he would
be willing to lease it from the
state and take over operation.
Talmadge had proposed to lease
the island to a private operator to

ed at S4OO a day. He said at this
rate Jekyll would soon bankrupt

Oleo Fight And Filibuster
Take Congress “Spotlight
House Committees Active;
Filibuster In' Second Day
BY JACK RUTLEDGE '
WASHINGTON, March 1. — (AP) — A House scrap
over oleomargarine taxes competed with a Senate filibus

opments:
1. The House Labor Commiitee voted to begin hearings
as soon as possible on a new labor relations hill to replace
the Taft-Hartley Act. - : ¢ o d
2. The House Appropriations
Committee, in apprgving a $3,072,-
817,903 fund for the Treasury and
Post Offfice Departments, okayed
an item authorizing the hiring of
1,500 additional tax returns exam
iners. The treasury had asked for
7,000 new enforcement workers.
Rep. Poage (D.-Tex.), opened
arguments before the House Agri
culture Committee In favor of re
‘pealing the present Federal taxes
‘on oleomargarine. He said “the
‘butter lobby” is more interested in
outlawing yellow margarine. than
it is in protecting consumers from
fraud.
’ Poage’s repealer would remove
the federal tax on yellow marga
‘rine but would require eating
places to notify customers if it is
served as a table spread.
’ New Hearings
‘ Before voting to start hearings
on a bhill to replace the Taft-Hart
ley Law, the House Labor Com
‘mittee turned down, 16 to 9, a res
olution which proposed reinstate
ment of the old Wagner Act with
out change. The hearings may be
gin this week.
The Senate was in the second
day of a filibuster designed to save
the filibuster.
Senator Connally (D.-Tex.) car
ried the Dixie banner into the
second day of a filibuster to save
filibusters and Democratic leader
Lucas laid out a time table for a
showdown early next week.
Before the Senate is his motion
to take up a resolution which
“I would be pleased to talk to
Mr. Thompson at any time he

Louis notified the NBA that he,
Arthur M. Wirtz and James D.

maintain offices in New York and
Chicago. It will state the fight to
determine the new heavyweight
champ.
Contracts Signed

to defend their title within 90
days after the June match with
either Lee Savold or Gus Lesne

“No attempt has been made to

BY RICHARD KASISCHKE
SOFIA, Bulgaria, March I.—(AP)—The last of the 15
Protestant churchmen on trial for treason went to the
stand today and tearfully confessed.
The state then began the calling of witnesses. The cler
gymen are accused of spying and black market dealings
and treason.
Only one of the 15 deviated
from a full confession. Ladin
Popov, 36, a Pentecostal pastor,
denied he had been a spy but said
in a quaking voice that he was
guilty of illegal currency deal
ings.
Mitkov Dimitrov, a Baptist pas
tor, accused one of the leading
defendants, Nikola Naumov, sup
ervisor of the Baptist church in
Bulgaria, of saying from the pul
pit that “Stalin is a bloodsucker.”
Angel Dinez, 40, a Pentecostal
preacher, accused his superiors'in
the chureh of being leaders of the
alleged spy ring. He ended his
testimony with the standard ut

Communist declarations in West
