Wood Address
Sam W. Wood, principal of Ath

the Civitans and outlined the im

funds raised at that time were
used for. He cited the imperative
need for a new high school and
improvements at many of the
other school. 3 .
Mr. Wood described the site of
the proposed new high school, told
of how many more students would
be closer to the new site, and
urged that the citizens cast ballots
for these reasons on May 24. He
told the Civitans approximately
how much would be put into the
new school building and of how
the other money of the issue would
be spent.
Good Investment
Mr. Wood said that “there could
be no better investment than in
the education of Athens’ children,”
and urged that the Civitans vote
their convictions on May 24. Ath
ens has never constructed a high
school, he told the group.

Carnes Praises Site
For New High School
First Ward Business Man Urges
Support Of School Betterment
Next in importance to erection of a new High School
with increased facilities for the education of boys and
girls is the desirability of the site already selected for that
purpose, Reese Carnes, First Ward businessman, de
clared in a statement today.
Mr. Carnes’ only son, Norman
Reese Carnes, an alumnus of the
Athens High School, was recently
graduated from the University of
Georgia.
Three other Athenians yester
day and last night publicly en
dorsed the proposed $1,000,000
bond issue for schools, up for a
voig of }he p?pist’a on May 24l;th.

favor of bonds,o'ver-ngfiio Sta
tion WRFC yesterday morning.
Last night Mayor Jack R. Wells
and Representative C. O. Baker
spoke for bonds over Radio Sta
tion WGAU.
Mr. Carnes, who is director of
personnel for the Athens Manu
facturing Company, is a member
of the Athens Civil Service Com
mission and of the Clarke County
Democratic Executive Committee,
declared: “I favor the proposed
$1,000,000 bond issue for schools,
because it means so much to the
future of the boys and girls of the
residents of our Ward. as well as
other Wards in Athens. I like the
new site for the school because it
is closer in travel time than the
present High School site.
Easier To Reach
“Fifth Ward High School stu
dents can travel to the proposed
new High School site, bounded by
Milledge avenue, Baxter street,
Waddell and Rock Spring in less
time than they can travel to the
present site, in my opinion. They
can go to the new site through
Baldwin to Baxter and make a
straight shoot to the school, or
they can go out Broad to Milledge,
or to Rock Spring (which will be
improved) and reach the new
school without having to travel
through the heavy downtown
traffic. L :
“A survey has shown that more
than ninety percent of the High
School population lives nearer the
proposed new site. That - is, in
physical distance. From the stand
point of accessibility I would say
that most of the High School pop
ulation can reach the proposed
new site faster than they can the
present site. And certainly the lo
cation is more desirable from
every other standpoint than the
present site.

East Germany Deals Reds
Smashing Blow At Polls
Shocked Communists Charge
Allies With “Double-Cross”
BERLIN, May 17.— (AP)—ZEastern Germany has dealt
Communism a smashing blow in Soviet-controlled terri
tory. ‘Official figures in the People’s Congress election
showed today a surprising snub by a third of the voters.
Of 12,024,221 valid ballots, 4,080,272 were marked
l‘no.” ;
The Communists had hoped to
roll up a virtuallly solid “yes”
vote for their hand-picked single
slate of candidates, so that they
could go to the foreign ministers
conference in Paris next week
with a government for eastern
Germany which would match that
of the west.
So shocked were the Commun
ist officials returns were withheld
20 hours after the polls closed, and
the Soviet-controlled press cried
double cross at their political al
lies in the eastern zone.
The organ of the Soviet miiita
ry administration, Taegliche
Rundschau, accused the eastern
Splinter parties of the Christian
and Liberal Democrats of playing
a ‘“double game.” They were ac
cused of swearing their allegiance
to the Communist-front Congress
and “agitating in secret” against
it.
Rundschau admitted that “with=
out doubt, there are not a few:
people under the influence of
the living propaganda of the ene
mies of unity who voted against
the list.”
The two-day balloting for the
Congress ended last night. The
Communist - controlled people’s |
council took complete charge of ‘
issuing a final count, expected la
ter today. The voting was for a
people’s Congress of 2,000 mem
bers, all hand-picked and put on
a single ticket. Voters were given
a choice of voting *“yes” or “no.”
Just before the lid was clamped
on the results, the main election
committee of the Congress for
eastern Berlin announced the
breakdown of the first 7,000 votes
counted. 3

Tragedy Strikes
-~
Guilty Mother
LOS ANGELES, May 17.—
(AP) — Another tragedy has
struck the 21-year-old mother
who agreed to sterilization to es
cape prison in the fatal beating
of one of her children.
Mrs. Georgette Brucks’ fourth
child died yesterday. The six
pound boy was born with a spi
nal defect.
Mrs. Brucks pleaded guilty to
manslaughter in the fatal beating
of her seven-month-old son,
Howard, last October. A judge
accepted her suggestion that she
be sterilized at the time her
fourth child was born in March.
Her second child, Donald, now
two, was offered for adoption as
a enndition of the probation. Her
oldest child, four, is with the
father, Edmond Brucks, Wick
liffe, Ohio.
Mrs. Brucks told the court the
father of her last two children
was Donald Redman, 23, now in
jail on a robbery charge.
OPPOSES ITS REPEAL
Representative Baker
Defends New Vote Law
Mrs. Annie E. Griffeth, chairman of the Clarke County Board of
Registrars, announced today that approximately 400 persons have re
registered here under the new vote law.
At the same time Rep. C. O. Baker, who voted for the measure,
declared he does not think the re-registration would cost Clarke
county an estimated $9,000.
However, Rep. Baker said that whatever the cost, he thinks the
action would be worth the cost in the long run. .
As 2 special session of the
Georgia Legislature continues in
the news Representative Baker
was asked if he will follow the
recommendation of the Clarke
County Grand Jury and vote for
repeal of the vote law. He said
he would not vote for repeal but
would vote against repeal of the
re-registration law.
Representative Cappelle Matth
ews was not available for a state
ment on whether he will vote for
repeal.
Open Six Days
The Board of Registrars, com
prised of Mrs. Griffeth, R. S.
Crane and J. M. Storey, began
work last Tuesday. It is located
on the second floor of the cdurt
house and is open daily for regis
tration of voters. Miss Kathleen
Kytle has been employed as full
time secretary, salary SIOO.OO per
month and each Board member is
paid $75.00 per month for ser
vices. So far all three members
of the Board have been kept busy
during office hours, 9 until 5:30
six days each week, in order to
keep up with the registration.
. The Clarke county Grand Jury
condemned the new vote law as
‘useless and‘ costly and urged iis
ity of 3,809 voted “nein.” About
250 ballots were declared invalid.
Some wrote on their ballots “we
won’t vote for a police state and
we reject Communism.”
The western Berlin press re
ported soon afterward that the
election committee was “re-exam
ining” the ballots.
The Communists had hoped 10,~
000,000 or more eastern zone
Germans would vote for them and
only a few thousand would dis
sent. They wanted a huge endorse
ment of the Congress, which is
certain to clamor for adoption of
Russia’s peame term by the foreign
minister’s council at the Paris
meeting next week.
Reds Capture Hankow,
China Industrial Hub
CANTON, May 17.— (AP) —The Communists were
reported today walking one army into the evacuated cen
tral China city of Hankow and plunging another within
225 miles of Canton, Nationalist refugee capital.
(The Reds were building up a|
new threat to embattled Shanghai,
striking into Pootung, dock and
warehouse area facing the famed
Bund across the Whangpoo river.
A Nationalist communique said
the Reds were concentrating on
the Pootung area after assaults on
the Woosung ship channel and
Lunghwa Airport had been beaten
back.) :
“wßeports from Hankow said Red
Gen. Lin Piao’s Fourth Field Army
of Manchurian veterans was tak
ing over China’s greatest ‘inland
port on the Yangtze river 600
miles west of Shanghai and about
the same distance north of Canton.
(Other reports said the Com
munist Second Field Army’s south
east drive thorugh Kiangsi pro
vince had carried to Liuchin, 225
miles northeast of Canton. The
main body of Gen. Liu Po-Cheng’s
70,000-man army was reported at
Ningtu, 275 miles from Canton.
(This apparently is the same
Red force the Communist radio
said vesterday has swept 300 miles
south of the Yangtze. The Peip
ing broadcast gave few positions
and did not mention either Liu
chin or Ningtu.)
If the reports about the pro
gress of the Red Second Army are
correct, indications are it is head
ed for Kukong in Northern Kwant
gung province and the East River
area which is infested with local
Communists. They may eventual
ly join Red forces moving down
the railway from Hankow for a
tfinal drive on Canton.
Neutral military men here say
there is little' between the Reds
repeal. Judge H. H. West also con
demned it. Representative Baker
said today he still favors the law
for which he voted and that it is
a good thing. He said he would
vote against repeal if a bill for
repeal comes up in a future ses
sion of the legislature.
Would Cost $9,000
Tax Collector Albert E. Da
vison recently declared the cost of
re-registering voters in Clarke
county would be approximately
$9,000.
The law becomes effective next
year. In the meantime the pres
ent voting lists are effctive for
elections this year.
There are about 12,000 register
ed voters in Clarke county. At the
rate of four hundred per week it
will take a year for all of them
to re-register.
Representative Baker said it
does not take a person who can
read and write more than five
minutes to re-register. Anybody
can go to the Board and get a list
of the questions and study them
before going to register. He said
he told the Talmadge administra
tion when it was trying to pass the
bill that was no way to w:e the

PARIS FIRE

HAS RED FACE
PARIS, May 17 —(AP)— The
Paris fire department had a red
face this morning and it wasn't
because of a fire, either.
A scholarly-looking gentieman

prominence as an Egyptologist
persuaded the authorities to let
him examine the instructions on
the Obelisque of Luxor in the
center of the Place de la Con

The fire department obliging

The scholar mounted the obe

His brand of cigarette lighters,
he said, produced a flame as tall
as the obelisk.

Ten Bills Ranging From Housing
To Labor Top Timetable In House
WASHINGTON, May 17.—(AP)—Ten bills moved to
the top of the House timetable today folowing conferen
ces between President Truman and his House leaders.
The conferences also turned up a little talk—and much
denial — or disagreement between the President and
House Speaker Rayburn.
Chairman Sabath (D.Ill.) of the:
Rules Committee spurred a drive
for early action on the ten bills
after outlining them late yester
day on the White House steps.
. They cover the fields of housing,
a lobby investigation, crop insur
ance, federal buildings, statchood
for Alaska, extension of rural tel»
ephone service, pay raises for gov
ernment executives, displaced per
sons, minimum wages and general
labor legislation.
Within the next week or so, Sa~
bath told newsmen, he expects
the Rules Committee to clear most
of them for House debate.
Although Sabath’'s White House
visit, following by only a few
hours a conference between the
President and Rayburn, was inter
preted in some quarters as evi
dence of a rift between Mr. Tru
man and Rayburn, Sabath said
this was not the case.
Sabath said he went to the
White House to get the President’s
views on bills now before thé
Rules Committee or soon to come
before it. This committee normalfi
ly clears bills for floor debate
when administration leaders give
the go-ahead, and holds them back
when the administration says so.
Rayburn teld newsmen “there
is no disagreement” on the pro~
‘gram outlined: by Sabath. And
if there is any disagreement be~
tween him and Mr. Truman, ge
speaker said, it *wasn’t apparent
when they talked together yester
day morning. 7
The impression that the Presi-,
dent was miffedn with Rayburn
grew last week when a copy of a
letter from the President to A. F.
Whitney, rail .ynion head, -was
made public. ) )
The White House blamed typo
graphical errors for phrases which
read as criticism;of congressional
leaders who advocated compro
mise on labor legislation.

SCIENTISTS SUGGEST:
Drug Resistance May
Be Due To Germ Love
CINCINNATI, May 17 — (AP)
—Love-life in the germ world may
be the key to why certain microb
es develop resistance to powerful
drugs like streptomycin, some
scientists theorized today.
They offered that interpretation
to a report made by Dr. Joshua
Lederberg of the University of.
Wisconsin in the 49th annual
meeting of the Society of Ameri
can Bacteriologists.
Lederberg reported evidence
that at least one form of bacteria
can produce itself sexually, just
as animals and man do.
This is at variances with the
long-held concept that microbes
reproduce themselves only by cell
division — that is, a given germ
divides in two %o produce two off
