after falling into the swirling waters of
nearby Great Falls.—(NEA Telephoto.)
In the recommendation of the
Public Works Committee it was
stated that the project (from a
point near Downs Dairy to the
Gulf Station at Five Points) has
been approved as a Federal Aid
Project and that “this project is
badly needed because of a narrow
crooked -road along with a poor
bridge over the Oconee river.”
Also the committee report re
commended the route from the
Watkinsville Road through the
University campus and Jackson
street to Broad street.
The route as planned now will
come from the Watkinsville Road
near Downs Dairy and will enter
the Whitehall road outside the city
limits then come up the Whitehall
road (Milledge Avenue) to Five
! Points, and from there traffic will
be routed down Lumpkin street to
’town.
Council voted to suggest that all
rights-of-way in the city limits be
reduced from a 100 foot to 60 foot
width and that the sidewalk and
curb and gutter be carried to the
city limits instead of only to the
street leading to Memorial Park.
Councilman W. N. Danner, jr.,
chairman of the Public Works
Committee, said by having a 60
’foot width no additional rights-of
way would be needed from Five
Points to Hampton Court, and only
five feet on either side of the road
from Hampton Court to the city
limits. * Also Mr. Danner said res
idents on the new route would get
sidewalks at no expense to the
property owners.
| Recummendation Approved
Votirg for the commmittee’s rec
ommendation were Councilmen H.
L. Seagraves, Luther Bond, Mer
ritt Pound, Mr. Danner, Kenneth
| Guest, R. W, Phillips, Roger Hazen,
'and Dick Thompson. Voting
against were Councilmen Clyde
Basham and F. H. Williams.
The two voting “no” said the
city should hold a hearing and
give the citizens a chance to state
their opinion on the matter. |
George M. Abney, sr., a resi
dent of the section affected by the
‘road, appeared before the Mayor
‘and Council stating that he be
lieved the citizens of that section
'should be informed fully on the
proposed route and have a chance
‘to voice thelr opinion before action
is taken.
The committee’s recommenda
tion, which was passed by Mayor
and Council follows:
“The Committee met with the
County Commissioners and also
visited the site of this project in
order to become familiar with all
aspects of the project. We feel
that the highway should continuo!
through the University propertyl
from a point where it meets the
Whitehall road and be brought via |
Jackson Street to Broad Street, |
rather than come down Milledge
Avenue to Lumpkin Street. This
will relieve the over-loaded traf
fic conditions on Lumpkin Street,
which is most important to the
City of Athens, It will also con
nect the South Campus and North
Camus of the University by a
route other than Lumpkin Street.
This has been a desire of the
University officials for many years. |
We find that this route is looked |
upon with favor by both thei
County Commissioners and Uni
versity officials. We recommend
that the City work with the
County and University to get this

Buyi Standstill
Ordered In Britai
Cripps Outlaws Future Purchases;
Says Pound Will Not Be Devalued
BY HAL COOPER
LONDON, July 6.— (AP) —Sir Stafford Cripps today
banned further commitments for purchases in the dollar
area except where ‘““urgent national interest” is proved.
He reported the sterling area’s reserves are down to
$1,624,000,000 afier dropping radically in the last six
months—but he said Britain has ‘“not the slightest inten
tion of devaluing the pound.”
Existing contracts for dollar
area purchases wili stay Ir force,
Cripps told the House of Com
mons, but the treasury will permit
further spending only ‘“where a
clear case of urgent national in
terest is established.”
Cripps, Chancellor of the Ex
chequer and Britain’s economic
chief, declared Britain must reduce
the price of her products to en
| courage exports. Fi said this can
be done through efficiency of pro
duction and “we have no desire to
see wages cut.”
The “standstill” in dollar buying
which Cripps ordered will con
tinue at least until September. By
ithen ERP . funds for the coming
year will be distributed, and a new
scheme of payments amon, Euro
pean nations will be in effect.
“We shall get out a new impor
tant program in the light of cir
cumstances which then exist”
l Cripps said.
The chancellor said he and John
|W. Snyder, U, 8, Secretary of the
Treasury, will discuss “the whole
matter” this weekend in confer
ences here. Canada, which like
the United States is a dollar coun
try, will be represented at the
talks. Then next Wednesday the
‘finance ministers of the. British
dominions will meet with Cripps
to give their views,
The sterling area consisis of ail
British countries except Canada
and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan,
and also Burma, Iceland and Iraq.
Previously, the danger point of
sterling reserves has been consid
ered as around $2,000,000,000. The
reserves now have sunk nearly
$400,000,000 below that.
Cripps told the Commons:
“The problem of the relation
ship between the sterling and dol
lar worlds is not one to which the
United Kingdom alone can find a
problem. It is a problem in which
our friends and partners -of the
United States and the Common
wealth are especially involved.
“We must seek together a long
term remedy for the stubborn
problems of the balance of trade
between the Western Hemisphere
and the rest of the world, of which |
the sterling area forms an impor
tant part.” |
U. 8. Exports |
He said diminishing exports to
the United States were the main
reason for the drain on Britain’s
reserves.
“A drain upon our reserves at
present rate calls for immediate
corrective action as well as for
longer term and more fundamen
tal measures.”
As a first step, he said, all pur
chasing departments of British
government have been told to
postpone dcllar buying wherever
possible.
“Existing contracts and commit~
ments will remain in force,” Cripps
said, but specific authority will be
required for any new dollar pur
chases and will only be given
where a clear case of urgent na
tional Interest is established.” |

NO BREAK FORESEEN
IN U. S. HEAT WAVE
© By The Associated Press
No immediate break appeared
today in the summer season’s
longest heat wave over an area
from the Rocky Mountains to the
Atlantic Coast.
Some showers fell in scattered
sections of the hot belt but in
most places they afforded only
temporary relief.
There were heat deaths and
prostration cases reported from all
sections of the torrid zone.
Most of the Midwest was weary
from a week of hot-sticky weather.
The Eastern States also sizzled in
the searing heat. And in the
northeastern area there was no
sign of rain to break the long
drought. The new heat wave only
added to further damage farm
crops already badly wilted by sev

For Slayi *
yings
BY JOHN B, CURTIS
EUREKA, Calif,, July 6.—(AP)
—A husky, 34-year-old Merchant
Mariner and ex-convict surren
dered last night and in a signed
statement admitted the Fourth of
July bludgeon slayings of two
men in a cabin overlooking the
Valley of the Moon.
The man, Henry Brun Guld
brandsen, gave himself up to Ed
Neumeier, a cub reporter, and
Elmer Hodgkinson, editor of the
Humboldt Times.
In a long, wandering statement,
he for the most part corroborated
the hysterical tale told by Mrs.
Eva Paget, 27-yearsold mother of
two. Her story of assault and
murder ‘set off one of the most
intensive manhunts in recent
northern California history.
But Guldbrandsen denied he
had assaulted Mrs. Paget, Berke
ley woman who had been vaca
tioning in Jack London's old ter
ritory 200 miles south of here in
the Sonoma Valley. Gulbrandsen
said she had submitted to him to
“goothe” him, after he had bludg
eoned her.
In the Sonoma Hospital where
she is in a critical condition from
the attack and Dbeating, Mrs.
Paget reiterated she had been
assaulted. And hospital attaches
commented on Guldbrandsen’s
assertion: “That’s ridiculous!”
Guldbrandsen signed a state
ment, first for the newspaper and
later for the sheriff’s office ad
mitting slaying his friend, Lt.
Peter J. Flint, 31, of the Mer
chant Marine, and Flint's long
time friend, Peter J. Jensen, 55.
landscape gardener for the Son
oma State Hospital.,
The nude bodies of Flint and
Jensen, covered by sheets, were
found in beds in separate rooms
of Jensen’s curio-laden home in
the Triniti Mountains, northwest
of Sonoma.
Officers went there yesterdav
after Mrs. - Paget, bleeding, hys
terical, and wearing oniy a T
shirt, stumbled down a canyon
voad and tcld a party of picnick
ers she had been assaulted.
Guldbrandsen was booked at
the Humboldt county jail on the
technical holding charge of “en
route to Santa Rosa.”
Good Story
The climax to the manhunt set
in motion by the revolting crime
was as astonishing as it was sud
den.
Guldbrandsen called the news
paper, said he had a good news
story and asked that a reporter
be sent to a designated bar and
ask for “Johnny.”
Neumeier was assigned. When
Guldbrandsen told him, over a
beer, that “I'm the guy they're
loocking for in Sonoma,” Neu
meier at first refused to believei
it. But Guldbrandsen produced
identification and Flint’s car keys‘
and wallet. |
Neumeier took him to thei
(Continued On Page Two) |
lakes region and North Central
States. But generally after the
showers the mercury started to
climb and humidity increased.
A mas%of cool air from North
western Canada brought relief to
parts of Minnesota, Michigan and
Wisconsin. It never reached swel
tering Chicago, where the mercury
hit above 90 yesterday for the
sixth consecutive day. A high of
95 was forecast today.
New temperature records for
the date were set in many cities
yesterday as the mercury ranged
between 90 and 100. Philadelphia’s
99.2 was the summer season’s hot
test day. At Lancaster, Pa., the
reading was 101 for the second
straight day.
Ohio counted four deaths from
the heat and uncounted prostra
tions.
A temperature of 100 degrees
buckled the concrete pavement on
U. S. Highway 60, 10 miles east
of Owensboro, Ky. State police
