ECA Trading Plan
Studied In Paris;
Reds Seize Trucks
By The Associated Press
An agreement providing for
more freedom of trade between
European eountries receiving Mar
shall Plan aid was being worked
out in Paris today. The plan be
fore the organization for European
Fconomie Cooperation (OEEC) is
a compromise between conflicting
American and British proposals.
The original agreement for set
tling financial accounts between
Marshall Aid countries expires to
day. The United States has urged
greater multilatgral trade. Britain
wants to retain the old system of
bilateral trade which makes it
easier for her to control her re
serves of dollars and gold.
It was considered probable that,
in deference to Britain, proposals
for multilateral trade might be
watered down, with safeguards to
shield Britain against losses she
fears.
London observers said Britons
are in for a jolt when they learn
how dangerously low are their dol
lars reserves. Finance ministers
of the British Commonwealth have
been called into session in London
to discuss the crisis.

of Marshall Plan Aid and whether
it was Russla or the West who
wanted to give the Germans more

ATHENS BANNER -HERALD
MRS. HISS
By The Associated Press
A Washington jury turned again
today to its task of deciding
whether or not Judith Cdplon took
government secrets with “intent”
to place them in foreign hands.
And in New York, a psychiatri’
may take the witness stand to
Alger Hiss in his defense agains.,
federal charges he committed per
jury in denying he was a spy ring’s
source of secret documents.
The Coplon jury failed to reach
a verdict last night after more
than nine hours deliberation. They
quit for the day at 10:40 p. m.
EST,
Federal Judge Albert L. Reeves
was called back to the courtroom
a little while earlier to elaborate
on his instructions on “intent.”
He told the jury, as he had be
fore given them the case, that in
tent means purpose. They must
decide whether Miss Coplon in
tended to deliver government
secrets to Valentine A. Gubit
chevn a Russian, or intended to
use the papers found in her purse
when she and Gubitchev were ar
rested—in a civil service examina
tion or as memoranda for a book.
Miss Coplon, 28, a former Justice
Department political analyst, is
charged with taking secrets from
the department files with the in
tent of injuring this country and
aiding a foreign power, Russia.
She admitted she took the pa
pers but told the jury she wanted
to use them in connection with her
work, a civil gservice examination
and a book she had started.
She swore her meetings with
Gubitchev were romantic, that
they were not engaged in espion
age as the government charged.
Maximum Penalty
Maximum penalty for convie
tion of both counts against Miss
Coplon is 10 years in prison and
$12,000 fine. She and Gubitchev
also are under indictment in New
York on espionage conspiracy
charges.
Mrs. Priscilla Hiss, wife of Al
ger, returned to the witness stand
in New York to continue her tes
timony in support of her husband.
Observers believed, however, her
crcass—examinatlon was nearing an
end.
Dr. Carl Binger, a pshchiatrist
on the Cornell University Medical
School faculty, was in the court
room., It was reported that the
defense would try to introduce him
as a witness.
He was present as an “observ
er” during the seven days that
Whittaker Chambers testified.
Chambers, a self-styled courier
for a pre-war spy ring, swore that
Hiss was one of his chief sources
of government secret documents.
It was Hiss’ denial of this which
led to his indictment by a federal
grand jury on two counts of per=
jury.
The defense has branded Cham
bers’ statetments “fantastie.”
N. Y. Trial
In another New York trial, Gil
bert Green, one of 11 Communist
leaders charged with conspiracy to
advocate overthrow of the U. S.
government by force and violence,
vesterday called the trial an ex
amble of the “danger of Fascism
growing in this country.”
Warned by Judge Harold R.
Medina, who already has ordered
him to jail during his out-of-court
hours on a contempt charge, Green
added: ;
“I am not saying this frial is
Fascism. What I am saying is that
50 or 100 years ago it would have
been unthinkable to have the lead
ers of a political party brought to
trial—~ .
Judge Medina interrupted to say
thelCommunist party is not on
trial.

For Miners
BY HAROLD W. WARD
WHITE SULPHUR SURINGS,
W. Va, June 30 —(AP)—John L.
Lewis today ordered soft coal
miners east of the Mississippi
river to work a three-day week
gtarting next Tuesday, abandon
ing his traditional “no contract,
no work” policy.
The contract with the soft coal
industry expires at midnight to

work week “to remove the stress
es and strains which could cause
industry and public irritation.”
He told the miners east of the

Wednesday and Thursday next
week, when they return from
their present 10-day vacation,
After that, Lewis advised the dig
gers to work on Monday, Tuesday,

There was no time limit to the
arrangement, although north and
west the coal operators believe
they have a cqptract until Aug.
14 under terms of the Tafi-Hart

Mines west of the Mississippi
are not affected by the three-day
limitation, but Lewis advised his
members there to begin work on
Monday “and con inue consecu
tively during the week for the
number of days worked by the
mines.” ;
However, he restrained them
from working on any Saturday.
The same contract terms will

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., June
30 — (AP) — This advice from
a group of high school girls:
Stop, Look, and Listen, before

_And, they say, “good looks”
don’t count too much.
A group of teen agers at a

Stop, they decid d, before go

sponse. .
Look, before yoa decide on a
husband, inte his family and
personal background.
Listen, to him talk a great
deal and find out abou‘ him,
As for dates, a young couple
cannot decide to spent the rest
of their lives fagethe: if they
only date in dark movies where
there’s no opportunity to talk.
In choosing a mate, the girls
decided, it’s more effective to be
with him in the light of day.
The girls decided that looks
ranks low in accordance with
other favorable characteristics.
Love and companionship rank
first, and admirable character
second. The husband alsec must
have high intelligence, profes
sional skills, love of children,
desire to own a home, pleasing
personality, emotional maturity,
ond other qualities.

Housing Victory Hailed
First ‘Fair Deal’ Success
Senate Coasts Into Final
Skirmish Of Labor Battle
WASHINGTON, June 30.—(AP) —The Senate coasted
into the final skirmishing of its great 1949 labor battle
today after writing down as a failure the administration’s
long drive to repeal the Taft-Hartley Act.
The climax appeared to have passed, with one of the
most bitterly controversial laws in recent American his
tory apparently assumed of its place on the books for an
other year or two at least.
Senator Lucas of Illinois, the
Democratic leader, predicted that
the second and last installment
of the labor bill offered by Sena
tor Taft (R.-Ohic) would be
adopted today — and that if such
a bill ever reached the White
House it would be vetoed. A veto
almost certainly would be upheld
by Congress.
The AFL and CIO, surrender
ing the fight yesterday, turned
violently against the Truman re
peal bill which they had sup
ported so strenuously for the last
five months.
They called angrily for its de
feat because the Senate on Tues
day had injected into it the first
part of Taft’'s labor program—
authorizing both injunctions
(along Taft-Hartley lines) and
plant seizure in “nationa] emer
gency” strikes.
Campaign Issue
in other words, the AFL and
CIO prefer the Taft-Hartley Act,
which they believe gives them a
good 1950 campaign issue, to a
part-way nreasure containing in
junctions and other things they
hate.
The Senate agreed unanimous
1y to vote today on the second
part of Taft’s program-—design«
ed to change the Taft-Hartley
Act in a number of ways bu
preserve its “essentials” — after
voting on a few Republican
amendments to it.
Truman Democrats were not
planning to offer amendments
because they said trying to im
prove such a bill would be a
“waste of time.”
One of the pending amend
ments, sponsored by three New
England Republicans, is designed
to prevent states from enforcing
stricter “right to work” laws
than the federal laws. |
Union Laws 1
The three senators are Bald
win (Conn.), Saltonstall (Mass.),
and Flanders ((Vt.).
Seventeen states, most in the
South and West, have laws re
stricting contracts that make un
jon membership a condition of
employment. The Taft bill does
not go as far as most of those
laws, but would permit the state
laws to govern.
There was a possibility its ap
proval might signal a move to
“recommit,” or send the bill back
to the Senate Labor Committee.
which in effect would kill it—
although Senator Lucas told re
porters he wouldn’t support guch
a move.
The second Taft substitute con
tains such Taft-Hartley features
as:
The han on the eclosed shop,
with some changes; authority to
get temporary injunctions during
the trial of unfair labor practice
cases; the ban on union coercion
of employees and employers; the
exclusion of foremen from pro
tection of the act; and the inde
pendence of the Federal Media
tion Service.

60-Year-Old Doctor Badly Beaten;
“Whipping Ground” Is Discovered {
ASHLAND, Ala., June 80. — (AP) — Two Methodist
ministers said today they uncovered three floggings in
Clay county in the past 30 days. |
One of the cases involved 15 or more car loads of hooded
and white robed men.
The ministers, the Rev. Frank H. Ledford, Ashland,
and the Rev. Luther Brown, Millerville, said they were in
vestigating reports of other acts of mob violence in the
area.
Ashland is about 85 miles south
west of 3irmingham, where a
number of floggings and cross
burnings have been reported in
recent weeks.
The Rev. Ledford, who is grand
chapain on the Grand Lodge of
the Ancient, Free and Accepted
Masons of Alabamai, and the Rev.
Brown, listed these cases:
1. J. J. Gaveuns, 860-year-old
white herb docto- of the Miller
ville community, lured from his
home, dragged into a car and
beaten severely with a blackjack.
2. Willie Horton, 33, Ashland
case operator and wounded negro
infantry veterans, and his brother,
I* ‘schel, beaten with sticks, lash
ed with a pistol barrel and kicked
by a mob of hooded men.
3. Three maske! men came to
another Ashland regro case oper
ated by Allen Heard, 32, de and
ed information about another ne
gro, then fired twice into the case
ceiling. Heard was unharmed.
The two ministers said most of
the victims have moved away i 1
fear of their lices.
The Rev. Ledford said a mass
meeting of other ministers and
resi‘lents adopted a resolution that
said in part:
“We are outraged by these hor
ible crimes that have been com=-
mitted in our county. We will do
anything humanly possible to see
that Christian prineiples prevail
that give every man thc right to
hear and be heard, the same as
our God does.”
Information Scarce
Sheiiff Rhett Owens said he
was investigating the case of the
‘herb doctor in Li -eville, who re
fused to give him any information
oth:r than. that he “fell off a
truck.”
“No stone will be left unturned
to get to the bottom of these
things,” he said, adding he would
ask assistance of state investiga
tors.
County Solicitor W. C, Dempsey
also said his office will cooperate
in an investigation.
“Unfortunately, under our pres
ent setup,” Dempsey added,
“there are no funds available for
my office to conduct any special
investigation.” .

In addition to the cases listed,

cans and 54 Democrats.
The bill authorizes grants and
loans up to more than $14,000,000,~
000 over the next 40 years for:
Slum clearance, 810,000 un})ubliely
owned city dwelling ts and
farm housing aids.
Opponents, mustering all their
strength in an effort to kill the
bill if possible, or cripple it in any”
case, succeeded in reducing the
measure to a skeleton of the pro
gram Mr, Truman had requested.
Shouting “Socialism” and argu
ing that the housing costs would
imperil the nation’s financial stab=
ility, a coalition of Republicans
and Southern Democrats mustered
168 votes to the administration’s
165 in a drive to kill the publicly=
owned housing program.
Two hours later they asked for
a roll call on the public housing
section, which accounts for about
five-sixths of the money authori=
zation in the bill.
They won by a five vote mar
gin—2o9 to 204.
As Mr, Truman sent it to Con=
gress, the program called for cone
struction of 1,050,000 publicly=
owned housing units in seven
years, with up to $400,000,000 in
rent subsidies for the occupants of
the dwellings.
Both Senate and House cut the
figures to 810,000 units in t’:z
years, with rent subsidies limi
| to $308,000,000 a year.
