Dressing Up For Summer
Is Lighter Job This Year
NEW YORK.—(NEA)—Dress
ing up for summer is getting tol
be a lighter job every year fnri
American men. :
While there’s been little notice
able change in styles this ye:n-,l
there is more and more empha-|
sis on lighter weight materials.l
Some men’s clothing experts,
think it may spread to suits for
all seasons, instead of just fori
the sumn.er wardrobe.
In a recenf U. S. Govemmenti
survey, as reported by the Wool
Bureau, tropical worsteds ranked |
top on the male preference list}
for summer business or dress-up|
wear. Many men {ind they get,
good use out of such suits in late]
spring and early fall, too. I

Passage Of
GI Pay Bi
y Bill
WASHINGTON, May 26— (AP)
—Rep. Vinson (D-Ga) said today
a new version of the military pay
bill suddenly shelved by the
House Tuesday will be “back on
the floor in two weeks and it will
pass.”
The original bill was pronounc
ed dead by Rep. Kilday (D-Tex)
after he had failed to get it past
the House. Kilday led the floor
fiight for the measure.
But Vinson, chairman of the
House armed service committee,
told reporters: ‘“‘Never mind what
he said. We'll bring it back right
away and I thifik we’ll bring back
a good bill.”
Vinson said that in its new form

Airlift Remains As
Main Supply Source
| BERLIN, May 26—(AP)—Once
lagain. airlift planes roaring in on
an 8,000-ton daily schedule are
Western Berlin’s main source of
supply. Millions of dollars of rail
| way cargo has piled up at the So
‘viet aonal line and. in Berlin’s
strikebound railyards in what now
Eamounts to a semi-blockade.
| Allied officials accused the Rus
| sians today of imposing a new
type of Berlin blockade by “stub
bornly refusing” to conciliate
12,000 anti-Communist railway
‘strikers who want to be paid in
Western-sponsored marks. The
Russians replied that the striKers
are to blame if Berlin has been
[cut off by rail from Western Ger
| many. ol o
The Western Allied command of
Berlin met in extraordinary ses
sion to map new action in the rail
crisis which has catised a stagger
ling freight tie-up. Unofficial re
| ports were that the three We:tern
l commandants might directly order
| the anti-Communist strikers to
I handle incoming trains. 3
The strikers have not handled
the cargoes because the railways
technically are under Russian con
trol. The strikers want, besides
payment in West marks—worth
five times the East mark—assur
ance that all strikers will be taken
back on their jobs and recogni
tion of their independent union.
The Kommandatura already has
sent Communist-controlled East
sector police out of the West sec
tor railyards, replacing them with
Allied-trained police. The ouster
came after. rioting by demonstra
tors in which two persons died.
Since this action Tuesday, todr
days after the strike began, only
a half dozen West German supply
trains have reached Berlin. Hun
dreds of loaded freight cars still
are untouched in the West Berlin
yards. Some 38 West German
trains are reported blocked in the
Soviet Zone and perishable foods
aboard are said to be rotting.
In the breach, the BritiSh-Amer
ican airlift is bringing in 8,000 tons
of supplies a day. Truck fleets are
shuttling between here and West
ern Germany. Some slow barge
traffic has started up, but the
planes are Berlin’s principal re
liance. :
the bill will carry a little less
money for the generals than the
original proposai did, and also of
fer a small raise for the recruits.
Otherwise, he said it will be about
the same,
“I haven’t even begun to fight
yet,” he added.
First of all, Vinson said, he will
call in a number of the young
World War II veterans who help
ed send the bill back to Vinson’s
committee, battered and torn, on
a 227-163 vote Tuesday.
Among the ex-Gl's whose opin
ions will be sought will be Rep.
Sutton (D-Tenn)—who led the
attack on the earlier bill — and
Reps. Bolling (D-Mo), Carroll
(D-Colo), and Furcolo (D-Mass).
Tuesday’s vote marked the first
time in Vinson’s 16 years as
House committee chairman that he
had ever seen the House throw a
committee bill back at him.
Of the thousands of bills which
have rolled out of his committees
over the years, Vinson said, only
two ever were amended over his
opposition.
One was the pay bill.
It would have abolished family
allowances for enlisted men six
months after enactment. Vinson
said the new one probably will}
provide for continuing them for
each man through his current en
listment. An amendment by Car
roll to do substantially this was
voted in by the House before the
bill was slapped down Tuesday.
The original bill would not have
changed the present $75-monthly
pay for the bottom enlisted grade
—the army’s recruits and navy
“boots.” In the new bill it may be
upped to SBO. The next grade,
which would have received $82.50
under the old bill, may be boosted
to SB4 or so under the new one,
Vinson said. i
American glassmaking was
revoiutionized By a 2 Carpenter of
Sandwich, Massachusetts, who
found in 1827 that glass could be
hand-pressed in a mold. This
brought glassware for the first
ume within the reaen of every
American home.

Legion Pool
Has Booming
Opening Week
Operated by the Athens Recrea
tion Department, the American
Legion swimming pool had a very
successful opening week, with an
attendance in this seven-day pe
riod of nearly 2,000 swimmers.
The pool is open daily from 2 p. m.
to 6. Favorable comments were to
be heard at the low admission
prices, 25 cents to adults, 15 cents
to'anyone in hign school or young
er.
The Recreation Department will
repeat its morning instruction pe
riods for all public school chil
dren in and around Athens. This
program is operated according to
Red Cross standards, using their
training procedures. Water Safe<
ty Instructors and others holding
Red Cross certificates in the local
Red Cross chapter will conduct
this program. i
Again season passes are availa
ble to all school chidren for SI.OO,
entitling the youngsters to receive
instruction and swimming from
10:30 to 1 noon each week-day
throughout the summer. These
passes are rapidly being sold in all
Athens schools and at the Legion
Pool office. 2
When the available season pass
es are sold, no more will be added
because a maximum has been set
for the program this year due to
the large sale last year. z
Parents who wish to obtain this
bargain for their children this
year, about a penny an hour for
instruction and swimming, are
urged to immediately purchase
their passes through the schools.
This program will begin June 6th.
Night swimming will be avail
able to the public within a week or
two when the weather becomes
warmer. Beginning dates for night
swimming will be announced.
New Counter
Proposal In
Ford Walkout
DETROIT, May 26— (AP)—The
Ford Motor Co. today prepared a
counter arbitration proposal in the
speed-up strike of the CIO United
Auto Workers.
In the exchange of the propesals
lay the hope for a settlement and
the return to work of 106,000 Ford
employes as well as undetermined
thousands of others affected by
the strike.
Management planned to lay its
proposal before the union at re
sumed negotiations late this after
noon.
Yesterday’s two-hour session
brought from Federal Mediator
Arthur C. Viat‘a report of ‘“defi
nite progress.”
The snag on the arbitration is
sue was over UAW President Wal
ter Reuther’s wording.
Reuther said the arbitrator
should decide whether the com
pany was entitled to “require” men
to work faster than “100 per cent
of normal production standards”
and to make up for stoppages they
cannot control. i
Ford disagreed and left the con
ference to prepare its own propo
sal.
Meanwhile Ford announced it
was opposing unemployment com
pensation payments for workers
in Ford plants which are shut
down because of the walkout in
the Detroit factories. Ford’s na
tional operations have been affect
ed by the strike.
Sixty-five thousand * men ac
tually went on strike. Layoffs of
40,000 more followed in plant
shutdowns.
It would take about 3,000,000
earths to equal the, bulk of the
sun.

@A Canine Colossi
ut, oo By TOM FARBBY s. 1 -iis
THE question of which breed of
dog is the largest is ome that
has no definite answer. Among the
larger breeds of dogs it is difficult
to find one that meets the specifica
tions of being both the tallest and
the heaviest. >
The Irish wolfhound is credited
with being the tallest of all dogs,
with an average height of thirty-one
inches. His weight should be about
one hundred and twenty pounds.
Although taller than the “great
Dane, he is less massive and built
along the sleek lines of a grey
hound.
The great Dane's height runs
from thirty to thirty-two inches for
an average dog. He is one of the
larger and most distinguished of
the giant-type hreed. Oddly enough
his original home is not Denmark,
but Germany where his breed was
developed for boar hunting.
The breed which can lay claim
to being the heaviest is the New
foundland wiih s weight of hetween
one hundred and forty and one hun
dred and fiflty pounds. His weight
stands him in good stead for the
work he performs Although a su
perior water dog he is still used in

An ancestor of the Newfoundland,
but not quite as large is the Great
Pyrenees. His weight averages one
“hundred and twelye pounds and his
Iheight varies from twenty-seven so
‘thirty-two inehes. In this country
the breed is considered new, having
been recognized by the American
Kennel Club as recently as 1933.
No list of large dogs would be
complete without the St. Bernard
whose life-saving work is known to
all. During the latter part of the
nineteenth century a St. Bernard
was brought to this country which
weighed close to twa hundred and
ten pounds and measured thirty
three inches at the shoulder This
dog was, of course, exceptional and
today the accepted height is twenty.

Two other breed: complete onr

Borzoi, and the Scottish deerhound
They both average about thirty
