FRESH START
Hope Vs.
Gloom In
Ford Talks
DETROIT, May 28 — (AP) —
Freshened by a few hours’ sleep,
negotiators prepared to return to
the conference table tonight to
seek peace in the 24-day Ford
strike. iR
Optimism was mixed with gloom
as the peace talks resumed their
marathon course.
Only two points remained to be
settled to end the dispute that has
idled 106,000 Ford Motor Co.
workers.
One, however, was particularly
thorny. It involved the selection
of an arbiter, acceptable both to
Ford and the CIO-United Auto
Workers, to hand down a verdict
on the dispute.
The other, involving the discip
ling of 35 Ford workers after the
strike began, was seen as a lesser
obstacle. Here, too, however, both
Ford and union were far apart.
Earlier today the feeling was
general that an end to the strike
was imminent. Working through
a grinding 13-hour session, nego
tiators reached agreement on the
main issue in the strike. They
agreed to arbitrate. ¢
But at the end of the night-long
session, Chief Ford Negotiator
John S. Bugas and UAW Presi
dent Walter Reuther told reporters
who had kept vigil throughout the
night that the talks were snagged.
Federal Mediator Arthur Viat
was gloomy. “The situation looks
hopeless at this time,.” he said,
“but maybe there will be a change
by tonight.”
Bugas said Ford was taking this
position: Let’s try for 72 hours to
name an arbiter. If we fail, then
let’s turn the matter over to Dr.
Harry Shulman, the Ford-UAW
labor umpire. Bugas insisted, too,
that Ford wanted an industrial
engineer to arbitrate the “speed
up” issue.

Senate Action On Foreign Aid
Bill Seen As Economy Showdown
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, May 28— (AP)
—FEconomy advocates said today
the showdown test of whether
Congress is going to cut expenses
Probably will come in Senate ac
tion on the $5,617,000,000 Foreign
Aid Bill,
Senator Russell (D.-Ga.), who
Is drafting a bill to clip up to 10
per cent off cash outlays for the
year beginning July 1, told a re
borter that if the overseas aid
fund isn’t cut he probably will
drop his plan.
“If the appropriations for the
Economic Cooperation Administra
tion can’t be reduced, then the
whole economy drive is going to
collapse,” he predicted.
“We can’t expect departments at
home to take reductions if we
can’t cut the funds to be spent
abroad. I wouldn’t be anxious to
cut others if that fund is sacro
sanet.”
Similarly, Senator Taft of Ohio,
chairman of the GOP Policy Com
mittee, said he thinks any “real
savings” will have to come out of
:he ECA and military appropria
tions,
The Ohioan said he will support
a 10 per cent cut in the foreign aid
broposal. He added that he won’t
have any idea until hearings are
held how much the military funds
¢an be reduced.
Taft agreed with Russell that
e House didn’t make much of a
showing for economy when it
lopped $704,730,000 off the amount

Mayor Jack R. Wells announced
vesterday that he received notice
Friday, May 27th from Guy Ham

qualify at that date and yesterday
the City Attorney, Bob Stephens,
notified the Mayor that under

WASHINGTON, May 28.—(AP)
A compromise - military pay‘
bill, holding top-ranking officers
to increases of less than $l4O a
month, was in the works today,
and chances for an agreement
appeared good.
The new measure, being draft

Junior officers would get a little

| ATLANTA, May 28 —(AP) —
| Georgia’s edeucation system goes
| under scrutiny Monday for sav
fings in tax dollars, but it looked
[ today like they would be hard to
| find.
| Offl Sgwho will testify at eco
[nom’ & £ings said they are forc
ed/ ~ &ort that school tax dollars

) (\~@ further trimming would
. & Slipple services, they insisted.
& 00l and college leaders were
¥ Sed to report Monday before
~ economy subcommittee of the
s tate Tax Revision Committee.
“Adouse Speaker Fred Hand is lead-
ing the subcommiitee into a full
scale investigation of state gov
ernment, with strong backing
from Gov. Herman Talmadge.
Apparently it was up to the
committee whether to take school
officials’ word that no economies
are in sight, or make a personal
investigation.
Chancellor Harmon Caldwell of
the University System, who will
be first to report, said next year's
budget already has been cut sl,-
250,000 under present operations.
That was a painful task of sur
gery, he added. Ninety-six teach
ers and staff members were dis
missed, operation and equipment
funds were curtailed, and research
activities were eliminated.
Dr. Caldwell suggested the Uni
versity System already has made
all the economies it can “without
crippling our, service” and losing
its accredited standing.
Few Ideas
State School Superintendent M.
D. Collins and Chairman George
Whitman, jr., of the State Board
of Education, are next on the car
pet. They said today they have
tew if any specific proposals for
saving money in schools.
Warned by the committee not
to use the hearings as a sounding
board for pleas for money, Collins
said he would outline the school
program and report the state is
getting about all it can expect for
what it contributes.
He said he would welcome an
investigation “to get all the facts.”
The economy committee, head
ed by House Speaker Fred Hand,
expects to devote monday and
Tuesday, at ‘least;"to Edtycafion.
Later it will turn to four other
departments— health, highways,
revenue and welfare. Together
with education, they spend 95 per
cent of the state’s revenue.
Whitman said State Democratic
Chairman James Peters is tt}g
“financial expert” of the Boa
of Education and he may invite
the economy committee to hear
from him.

‘Unmasking Act
l AUGUSTA. Ga.. May 28—(AP)
—Action of Mayor Jim Peterson
of Soperton in ripping off the
masks of three robed men several
days ago may result in charges
against the mayor, the Augusta
Chronicle was informed today.
Dr. Samuel Green, the Grand
Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, told
the newspaper from his office in
Atlanta he would prefer assault
i and battery charges against Mayor
peterson if he found them war
ranted.
’ “I am going to Soperton tomor
row (Sunday),” the Klan official
| said via long distance telephone.
| “I shall make a personal inyes
!tigation, and if I find that these
{men were Klansmen and were
| conducting themselves peacefully,
'T shall prefer charges against the
[ mayor for jerking off their
| masks.”
New Congress the necessity of
making appropriations before next
May 15 for the additional one and
one half months to round out the
year till July 1, 1950.
Russell said his study of Presi
dent Truman’s budget requests in
dicates that about $21,000,000,000
in funds could be subjected to
some reductions without disturb
ing fixed interest charges, prior
contract obligations, payments to
vetgrans and grants to states.
An uprising of young veterans,
most of them former enlisted
men, whipped the original pay
bill soundly in the House last
Tuesday. It would have allowed
raises of up to almost 50 percent
for high ranking commanders.
Increases for the enlisted
grades in the new bill probably
will run as high as 38 perceat,
the committee informant told re
porters, and even the Army’s
rookie and the Navy's “boot”
may get a ttle jump-in pay.
Also, family allowances for en
listed men would be continued
for the duration of current en
listments.
The original bill, which would
have added about $406,000,000 a
year to the military payroll, was
returned to the committee for
further study on a 227-163 roii
call vote. il A

Hotel Murder Case Goes To Jury
With "Sanctity Of Home™ At Stake
CEDAR RAPIDS, 1a.,, May 28—
(AP)—Did Dr. Robert C. Rut
ledge, jr., kill Byron C. Hattman
and if he did was he justified by
self-defense while protecting ‘“the
sanctity of his home?”
These were the final issues
raised by opposing counsel today
as nine men and three women

the court at the close of the young
St. Louis doctor’s murder trial.
Rutledge, 28, is accused of fatal

Defense Attorney Walter J.
Barngrover said:
“Dr. Rutledge fought to save
his own life and in deiense of the
sanctity of his home. A verdict of
guilty would make womanhood the
bare and open prey of the man
who would rather invade another's
home in ‘lustfulness and deceit
than establish and maintain one of
his ‘'own. Set this fine young man
free.”
County Attorney William Criss
man said:
“Dr. Rutledge was the aggressor.
All the evidence shows he wanton

New Low In Berlin
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, May 28. — (AP) —
Within a single week of the cold war,
Russia appears to have squandered since
last Sunday most of the good will won by
lifting the Berlin blockade.
Diplomatic authorities here said that
the dramatic appearance of Soviet-backed
German Communist police as strike break
ers in Berlin probably set a new low in
Russian efforts to gain world support of
workingmen.
But four developments taken
‘ogether formed the pattern of a
\istoric week which today brought
‘he Soviets up against a variety of
new and difficult problems
stretching from the council cham
bers of Paris to the battle-scarred
streets of Shanghai.
These developments are:
1. The new Berlin crisis—at
the moment when many people,
including highest officials here,
had hoped East-West relations in
Germany would be returning to
something like normal, Berlin is
jgain being supplied by air; the
trains once more are halted.
This has cost the Russians pres
tige on two scores: whether or not
they inspired the rail strike or
deliberately failed to settle it, they
are being widely blamed for a new
Berlin blockade. Further, the
nation that has advertised itself
for decades as the fatherland of
the world’s working masses, has
suddenly become identified with
ruthless strike-breaking through
the use of armed police. o 3
2. Deadlock ar Paris—Secre
tary of State Acheson and other
Western Foreign Ministers went
to Paris Foreign Ministers Con
ference last week very puzzled as
to why the Russians wanted such
a meeting held. They supposed it
was probably a cover for the lift
ing of the blockade, but wondered
whether a dramatic new turn of
Russian diplomacy toward East-
West cooperation might be at hand.
Sam Old Stand
If that was intended it has not
developed. A full week of ex
changes has produced no evidence
that Soviet Foreign Minister Vi
shinsky intends to budge an inch
on basic German issues such as re
parations and restoration of Ger
man unity.
No important Western conces
sions were in sight, either, .but
Acheson and his colleagues told
the world before the meeting start
ed there would be none. Their
view seems to be that the West had
long since conceded too much to
Russia anyway.
3. Fall of Shanghai — another
Communist victory on the Far
Eastern front of the Cold War put
the Red flag over one of the
world’s largest cities and added
the power of a new victory to the
expanding thrust of Communism
in China. &
But it also raised several major
questions which dominated offi
cials’ talk in Washington: How
well would the Communists be
able to feed Shanghai’s close
packed millions without American
aid? How would they govern the
city; when would they seek trade
with Japan and the West? What
would Russia do to help them
solve their problems? ;
Four Verdicts
The jurors had four possible
verdicts:
1. Acquittal; 2. First degree
murder; 3. Second degree murder;
4, Manslaughter.
Crissman told the jurors a ver
dict of “first degree murder” was
the only one they logically could
return. This carries the penalty
of death on the gallows or life in
prison.
The prosecutor said the case did
not lend itself to a verdict of man
slaughter, which carries an 8-year
prison term.
Barngrover told the jury:

Big 3 Offer To Rub
Out Military Gov't
BY PRESTON GROVER
PARIS, May 28.— (AP) +The three
Western powers proposed today to rub
out all military government for Germany
and open the door for Russia’s zone to
join a central fecderal German govern
ment under the Bonn constitution.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Viishin
sky promptly indicated he considered the
plan one-sided and wunacceptable, but
asked for tire to study it until Sunday.
! Opening the western bag of
proposals for the first time, Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Ernest Be
vin and French Foreign Minister
Robert Schuman presented the
English and French texts of a
plan for Germany to the four
power foreign ministers council
at its sixth session.
Final touches to the document
were given at a two-hour meeting
of the two foreign ministers and
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
2arlier in the day. 5
Drastic Charges
The plan laid down as princi
oles for the merger of east and
west Germany that Russia must
stop political activity by police
nen in her zone, give up the veto
in Germany except in usual cases
and agree to drastic limitations to
ler reparations claims on the
ountry.
For eastern Germany to join
.he wesi, the three powers said,
lussia must grant these freedoms
0 her Germans: Freedom of per
son and movement, of assembly,
speech, press and radio, freedom
or all Democratic political par
ties and for elections, freedom
rom arbitrary arrest and an in
lependent judiciary.
The plan was simple in lan
juage but loaded with diplomatie
iynamite. ‘
| “Bag” Plot
Vishinsky, who had expected
some such plan, already has de«
icribed the proposal to cover east
sermany with the Bonn Consti«
ution as a western plot to get alf
‘Germany “in the bag.”
The proposal is almost directly
counter to the ideas advanced
earlier this week by Vishinsky
that the four powers reinstate the
authority of the allied control
council which broke down under’
the impact of Soviet vetoes. He
also wanted a central German au
thority to deal with subjegts pass
ad on to it by unanimous action
of the control council:
In presenting the western
suggestions, Bevin said the plan
was offered in good faith and not
with the intention of organizing
Germany against Russia.
The document said the Bonn
Constitution had been promulga
ted after receiving the support of
the “overwhelming majority of
.he elected representatives” from
the three western zones. It sug-
Jested that Germany’s unifeigation
could be best accomplish by
‘appropriate arrangements to en
able the states of the eastern zone
to accede to it.’
The various freedoms that the
western powers consider should
be incorporated in these arrange
ments were then enumerated.
