The South was compared today

Dr. Robert A, Lambert, retived

said, however, the South is destin

“continued prevalence of success
ful demagogues.”
Speaking as a native-born
southerner after 40 years’ absence,
he voiced his views in a speech
prepared for delivery to the
largest commencement exercise in
the history of Tulane University.
“The strongest general impres

South,” he said, “Is that it is still
a stronghold of conservatism in
respect to social matters.
“Recently,” he continued, “I
have noted a resurgence of Ku
Klux activities and similar types
of organized lawlessness, which
makes. me wonder whether a
citizenry which tolerates this sort
of thing can claim to have made
any spiritual progress.”

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Asspciated Press Service
Officials of the Western Powers,
entered today’s session with a
moral advantage. It was their turn
vesterday to say “no” to the Rus
sians. They refused the request
of Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Vishinsky to invite a 22-man dele
gation from the Soviet-sponsored
German People’s Congress to pre
sent their case to the Foreign Min
isters Council. i
They also recalled that the cur
rent sessions were convened at
Russia’s request and .concluded
that Moscow must desire some sort.
clude any more blockades. =~ =
The Russians, it was reported,
are eager to obtain some economic
agreement to provide their zone
with manufactured goods from
Western Germany, thus easing
conditions in the Soviet zone. The
Russian zone was hurt by the Al
lied counter-blockade.
The Western Powers were re
ported ready to propose the es
tablishment of specialized Four-
Power committees to regulate
commerce, currency, communica
tions and transit between Berlin
and the Western zones—a pattern
for extension between all East and
West Germany.
Germans would be designated
from West Germany and from the
East Germany People’s Congress
regime to carry out the plans. They
would form an Economic Council
for the,whole of Germany.
Western officials are convinced
that such an arrangement is the
most that can be hoped for in the
current sessions.
Hopes for some agreement on
political unity faded yesterday and
the day before when Vishinsky re
jected the West’s project for ex
tending thé Bonn constitution to
all Germany.
Instead, he urged the extension
of the East German People’s Con
gress, hand-picked Communist
outfit, as the legal ruling organ for
all zones of Germany.

Retirement Check Promised
Teacher On Sit-Down Strike
ATLANTA, June I—(AP)—A
determined college teacher who
has been staging a sitdown strike
for $65.78 was promised her money
today, but only after she gave up
her job. -
The 54-ygar-old woman, Dr.
Willie Melmoth Bomar, home eco
nomics teacher of Glenwood, Ga.,
began her strike Monday morning
in the office of the State Teachers’
Retirement Board.
She wanted to collect the $65.78
deducted from her salary for the
retirement fun to pay for treat
ment of a cancer.
J. L. Yaden, director cf the re
tirement system, said he could not
refund the money unless she re
signed. Last year, he added, the
pension money was returned to
Dr. Bomar who said she was go
ing to quit, then failed to do so.
This morning, the teacher wired
her resignation to Wheeler County
School Superintendent T. C. Ful
ford. Yaden said he would return
Dr. Bomar’s money as soon as he
received word from Fulford that
the resignation had been accepted.
Dr. Bomar, who won her
doctorate at Columbia University,
said of the pension withholding:
“They took it out of my puny

NEW MEASURE
PASSAGE
SEEN FOR
VET BILL
WASHINGTON, June I—(AP)
—A new veterans' pension bill
came before the House today, with
its chances of passage looking
bright.
It’s an entirely different measure
from one the House tossed aside
by a one-vote margin on March
24,
Only two fights were in prospect
on the new bill—one to eliminate
World War II veterans from the
benefits and the other to knock
out an unemployability require
ment. - 2
Chairman Rankin (D-Miss.) of
the Veterans’ ' Affairs Comuniiftee
said he would’ try by amendment
‘to knock from. the bill a'eommit
tee-approved ¥, provision denying
‘The commitiee /grigi‘nally oted.
'no such ‘standard ‘but reversed it
seif when the budget bureau said
the extra cost of the measure,
without the unemployability pro
vision, would be $57,000,000,000 in
the next 50 years. |
Without that provision, the bill’s
cost has been estimated at almost’
$9,000,000,000 during the next 50
years. |
It was the high estimated cost
of pensions that resulted in defeat
of the original veterans’ pension
Jueasure considered by the House
in March. That measure’s cost had
been estimated at upwards of‘
$100,000,000,000 during the next
50 years. ‘
A group of young World War ll‘
| veterans who helped defeat the
first bill said they would fight to
kill Rankin’s amendment. If they
lost, they said, they would try to{
{ defeat ‘the whole bill.
The unemployability provision |
' says veterans who, because of dis
ability, can’'t do more than half a
| day’s normal work or earn more
{ than half the normal sgay for the
l work they are doing, shall receive
| the pensions. Others would not be
| eligible.
| The pensions in most cases
| would be $72 a month at age 65.
| The original Rankin bill would
| have paid S9O a month to all vet
| erans at age 65, regardless of need.
“Well, I've got cancer, I need
the money for treatment—and can
cer won't wait!” - ARE e S
She spent her second night in
the dark, deserted offices last
night, using a couch in the wo
men’s room for a bed. She said
she has lived on sandwiches since
her strike started.
Cancer Treatment
Dr. Bomar flashed a train ticket
to Rochester, Minn., and said she
was ready to make her fifth trip
to the Mayo Clinic for a cancer
checkup, and possibly for treat
ment. g v
“I want to pay,” she continued,
“instead of saying ‘l'm too poor—
you see I've been teaching school
in Georgia."”
She has kept constant vigil at
the office of Director J. L. Yaden
of the retirement system since
10:30 Monday a. m.
The office is on the fifth floor
of the Atlanta division of the Uni
versity of Georgia building. It once
was a parking garage and still
uses the ramps instead of stairs.
Pay Now
“This is a preposterous thing I'm
doing,” the little teacher told a
reporter, “but it’s a preposterous
thing they’re trying to do to me.

county since October, 1948. 1 fig

Bolivia (alls Reserve
Corps To Break Up Riots
LA PAZ, Bolivia, June I.— (AP) —Reports reaching
here today gaid the army was “in control of the situation”
in Bolivia’s strike-torn tin mine region, scene of bloody
rioting for the past four days.
Army reservists from 19 to 50 were ordered mobilized
last night as the cabinet met in emergency session to cope
with what it calls a “‘state of civil war.”
The government said the mo-)
bilization was justified by the|
gravity of the present situationl
in which striking miners have
seized mine officials, including
Americans, ,a 8 hostages and
fought bloody battles against
troops sent to the area.
Two thousand Dyofaite-Hur
ling miners yesterday battled 200
troops for control of the Patino
owned Huanuni tin mines. The|
mining area is in the high Andes,
about 200 miles south of La Paz.
The government previously had
decreed a state of /siege, suspend
ing .nornal eivil rights for 90
days under semi-martial law.
Railroads . throughout the em-|
battled country meanwhile halted
service, thteéaténing a grave food
shortage. The nation’s 3,000,000
land-locked residents get most of
their supplies by rail from Ar
gentina, Peru and- Chile. ;
The government charged the|
violence, which broke out over
the week-end at the Patino
group’s Siglo Veinte mine, was
insipred by a group which want

Mine Heads Deny
Safety Neglect
PITTSBURGH, June I.—(AP)
—State coal = mining ofifcials in
several states stood by assertions
that John L. Leiws’ charges on
miners’ saftey were unfounded.
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workess, told a Sonute I_.u-
bor Subcommittee yesterday that
seven statez including Pennsyl
vania, “chose to ignore complete
ly" the federal mine safety code.
He named the others as Arkan
sas, Georgia, lowa, North Dakota
and Wyoming.
In Harrisburg, Pa., Secretary of
Mines Richard Maize declared his
state’s mine safety law has pro
visions that in many respects are
“more rigid than the federal
code.”
“We can’'t enforce anything
that is not enacted into law in
Pennsylvania,” Maize said. “Fed
~=al mine inspectors can make
recommendations but can't order
:commendations to be
adopted.””
‘ .ai alabama mining spokes
man, who declined use of his
name, said: <Mr. Lewis’ state
neent is congary to the facts in
Alabama.” He declared his state
has mine conditions differing
widely from other states and said
a mine safety bill, geared to Ala
bama conditions and stricter than
the federal code in some Wways,
now is before the state legisla

ment said both the Rightist Nat
ional revolutionary movement
and the Communist elements
were involved in the plan.
Unofficial reports said the
death list might total 50 as a re
sult of the mine strike called to
enforce a demand that the gov
ernment return 26 men — uniun
leaders and ‘others—deported to
Chile Friday.
Two American engineers have|
been reported killed and the sup-‘
erintendent of the Huanuni
mines, Howard Keller, a U. S.l
citizen, was held captive by the
miners.
U. S. citizens ynd other for
eigners were be(:lg evacuated
from the mining area.
A rail strike call was issued by
unions at Oruro and Tupiza, both
mining centers, on routes to
Buenos Aires, Argentina, and An-]
tofogasta, Chile. A country-wide
stoppage was ordered later.
The mine strike was slowly
spreading. The tin miners’ local
union at Uyuni, south of Oruro,
struck yesterday, a dispatch from'
La Razon said. Miners at nearby
Pulacayo also quit work. |
The government has the sup
