Bus Strike Postponed Second Time The scheduled walkout of bus drivers on the Athens City Lines was averted last night, when the drivers voted in favor of a 30-day waiting period. Robert Fitzpatrick, president of the local bus drivers union, said that the waiting period would ex tend until June 26th. He also said that the drivers voted in favor of the 30-day period, since the bus company had just changed hands, and the drivers felt it fair to pive the new owner a chance to review their contract demands. The Athens City Lines was pur chased by Waldo Henson of Ath ens, from W. M. Shelton. Their action last night marked the second postponement of a walkout by the drivers. Their old contract expired two weeks ago, but at that time, the drivers voted in favor of a seven day period so that contract talks could be held. The seven-day period ended last night at mid night. Fitzpatrick said that all the drivers were hopeful of getting their contract troubles ironed out during the new waiting period, with the new management, Clay Returns . To Washington MARIETTA, Ga., May 27—(AP) —Cen. Lucius D. Clay headed for a final round of conferences in Washington today, a vacation on Cape Cod, and then his long sought Georgia cat fishin’. Despite thundering acclaim in his bannér-lined home town yes terday, the American Cold War commander in Berlin killed any talk that he might be drafted to run for Governor. “A soldier has no place in poli tics,” he said. “I don’t know any more positive way to say it.” The General said he would re tire from the Army Sunday, rest this summer on Cape Cod, and return to Georgia in late summer or fall. Marietta just about had the big gest day in its history yesterday at the General’s homecoming. With a ready grin and handshake for old friends, th’é(;}meratm%i the serious side in his speech.” - Trolley Riders .

That left Eisler—called America’s No 1 Communist agent by a congres-‘ sional committec—iree to go on| to the Soviet zone of Germrany— permanently out of American grasp. The squat, mild-apnearing lit tle man, about whom had whirl ed an international- tempest, heard the judgment stolidly at first. He solemnly shook hands ‘ A - e . ¥, = "'ha | '-’g'u;iré!e“d’%iﬁ. But ~when coug was dismissed and he was a free man, he 'broke into a jubilant smile: . Sir “I wasn’t worried,” he said. “I feel fine~ “I am going te Germany as quickly as possible. I am very glad the American reactionarieS| have been defeated and I hope they will be defeated many timesl more.” ‘ Eisler has been offered a pro-! fessorship in the University of]| Leipzig, in the Soviet.zone of } Germany. Presumably that is where he is going. ; After almost two hours of ar-. gument in Bow Street Court—/ the only British court which can‘ deal with extradition cases— Magistrate Sir Laurence Durme’ rejected the American demand. He said the United States failed| to prove that the fugitive Com-! munist had been convicted of anj extraditable offense. ! {Continued on Page Three.) | Athens High School student who represented Clarke county in the contest.

(Story on Page 2.) Purebred Bulls Distributed In This Area is Ar Seven purebred polled Hereford bulls have been distributed by the Northeast 'Georgia Livestock Auc tion_. Company, wowhich. wrecently, purchased the assets of the North east Georgia Livestock ' Marketing Association, and which now op erates the livestock sales barn on the Winterville Road. These bulls went to the farms of E. K. Fowler, Howard Vaughan and T. W. Morton, in Clarke coun ty; S. E. Hogan in Oglethorpe: county, and Carlton Hale in Oco nee county. Bringing purebred cattle into this territory to improve the live stock being raised on the farms is in line with the aims and objec tives of the company which began operations a few weeks ago. The eompany feels that by im proving and expanding the live stock industry in this section and by providing an easily accessible market, farmers and stock raisers will greatly benefit and more will be won over from the old custom of depending almost solely on the one-crop system of raising cotton which placed the people of this section entirely at the mercy of the boll-weevil and the weather.

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST CEORCIA OVER A CENTURY ATHENS, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1949, “SORROWFUL JONES” Packed House Seen Here For Film Premiere A capacity audience is expected to be present at the special 9 o'clock showing of “Sorrowful Jones” at the Palace Theater Sun day night, with all proceeds from ‘the occasion going to the fund to replace burned buildings at Boys Estate, near Brunswick, Ga. University of Georgia’s Wallace Butts is state chairman for the finance campaign for Boys Estate and Bill Hartman, of the Bulldog football coaching staff, is Clarke County Chairman. Buildings Burned Several weeks ago some of the buildings housing the several hun -dredaboywm,ateburgéd to the ground with a loss of $150,000. It is to replace these buildings that the statewide campaign is being held and no better selection than Coach Butts could have been made to head the drive. ‘ Boys Estate has been endorsed | by prominent Georgians through out the state and by heads of agencies especially concerned with boys and their futures. Boys Es tate is closely patterned after the‘ famed Boys Town, established by the late Father Flanagan and to it go boys who have made a mistake! and who want to remedy that mis- \ take by becoming worthwhile and | successful citizens. | Clarke county’s quota is $3,500 and State Chairman Butts feels confident that this county, as with the state as a whole, will rally solidly behind the Boys Estate movement, which is a non-profit project and pays dividends in future citizenship rather than in draining off tax money to confine boys who have had a brush with (Continued On Page Two) Red Occupation_Quietly Blankets Fallen Snanghai Gov't Reds Troops Trapped As Close Escape Routes SHANGHAI May 27. — (AP) — The red blanket of Communism quietly enveloped all of Shanghai today. - The gunfire ceased.

Red political officers began taking over the government of the greatest Asian commercial center and its 6,000,000 people, The Nationalist garrison of Woosung fortress folded up. The government evacuation fleet pull ed out, down the Yangtze and in to the east China Sea. The ships left behind the Na tionalist troops who had failed to make the 10-mile northward march down the Whangpoo River escape corridor from Shanghail to Woosung. How many only the Reds would know aiter they had rounded them up. G The sharp—but minor—{fighting for Shanghai really was over last night. But not until today did the handful of Nationalist rearguards who made the final, mad stand in the heart of the city make up their minds to quit. For two days they had held the bridges across Soochow Creek which flows through downtown Shanghai and into the Whangpoo at the north end of the famous Bund. And they held the big mod ern huildings that commanded the bridge approaches. Hold Bridges Their orders were to hold the bridges, ‘to protect the Shanghai garrison’s withdrawal to Woosung. Holed up in the buildings, they stayed at their guns long after the Reds had crossed upstream, flank ed them from behind and moved through the northern part of the city after the retreating garrison. The Nationalists stayed as long as they did because they - were afraid to quit. * i It was the foreigners trapped in the buildings with them who fin ally persuaded the last of them to give up. c e Communist troops came and got them this morning. And the thou sands of suddenly freed civilians —Chinese and foreign—burst out into *what had been a No-Man’s land for 50 dangerous hours. Casualties in the fighting that made a battleground out of such thoroughfares as the Bund and Pe king road was not known. Some sources put the civilian dead and wounded at less than 200—practically all Chinese. Chi nese newspapers said the toll was “several hundred” most of them Nationalist soldiers.

It was a town hall ceremony spangled with some of Hollywood’s tinsel and the riches of the East. The ceremony climaxed a 10- month courtship—some called it a road-show romance—for Rita, 31, and the 38-year-old heir to millions. She has been a Roman Catholic; he is a Moslem.

Today — like the past three days—Secretary of State Dean Acheson, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman and British For eign Secretary Ernest Bevin are expected to continue prodding Soviet Foreign wiinister Andrei Y. Vishinsky into defining his terms for Geerman unity. ~ If they {fail to obtain the satis~ faction they seek, they are ex pected to spend the week-end re adjusting their counter offer of German unity. . : } So far the west has not rejected ouiright the Russian call for a re turn to four-power control and for an elected German economic and administrative council. But they have served notice they want: 4 1. To turn management of poli tical and econpmic affairs over to ' the Germans. b 2. To retain supervision only of security, demilitarization, indus trial production and foreign policy matters. 3. Russia to understand it can not expect to receive any more reparations out of west German or all-German current production. 4. To see Russia loosen its grip on the economy of the eastern zone by dissolving all industrial trusts it has acquired and’formed i) e vegion. . The official informants said these demands would be embodied 'in the western blueprint to be ' handed in next week. In addition | the west is expected to offer the | Russians the opportunity to agree to the political reunion of Ger fmany—on western terms. In effect the western ministers will say to Vishinsky: “Come on in and join the Bonn Cons;titution and occupation stat ute.! 3 (The occupation statute amounts to a provisional . peace treaty. It governs and refines re lations between the western occu pying powers and the west Ger man government). . Meanwhile the American, Brit= ish and French delegations’ poli= tical advisers are busily seeking to dissect Vishinsky’s claim that the Soviet zone is running at a profit. Their information, they said, does not bear out his assei ticns. Vishinsky . asserted yesterday that Russia had constructed scores of soft coal shafts a considerable oyt st e e hearth furnances. ~said eas German industry had developed without incurring any sa%“‘“&@“ debt—in contrast, he contended, to the westerrt zones..
