(AP) — Four wholesale liquor dealers were accused today of con spiring with officials of the Geor gia Distilled Spirits Institute to corner the bootleg whisky market in dry counties. A court suit charged that four Atlanta dealers entered into a “corrupt agreement” with officials of the institute. It charged that the dealers and officials then ob tained a regulation from Former Revenue Commissionéer Glenn Phillips permitting sales between wholesalers. After that, the suit charged, oth~- er wholesalers sold the Progres sive Distributors, Inc., with knowl edge that the liquor was going to dry counties. The accusation was in.an amend ment to a suit filed by Robert C. Lee, an Atlanta wholesale liquor distributor whose license recently was revoked for dry county sales. The original petition, contended Revenue Commissioner Charles _Redwine, let five wholesalers deal ing in®ry counties go unpunishedl because of Talmadge influence, In his answer filed Saturdayw‘ Redwine denied flatly all of Lee’s charges and asked that the court | throw out the suit. | Trial Begins | Trial of another suit involving Redwine was scheduled today. Eric Nelson, seeking an Atlanta retail license, charged Fulton County Commissioners with discrimina~ tion in giving licenses to improper PErsons. . !dm son._asked that Red wine be ordered to give him a license or close other Fulton Coun=~ ty retail stores. Attorney -Dan Duke filed both the original suit and the amend ment for Lee, In the amendment ‘Lee charged the four dealers and the institute officials with seeking to use the institute ag a means “of cornering the distribation of Lguor in ary counties.” He argued that unless these wholesalers were punished, as he had been by revocation of his license to do business, it would be “discriminatory and oppressive.” Lee’s amendment identified the wholesale firms he charged with conspiracy as Consolidated Distri butors, Ine, Dodd Distributing Co., State Distributor, Inc., and the National Distributing Co. The amendment further set out that the individuals who entered into the conspiracy were: “Harry P. Woodward, a stock holder in Consolidated Distribu tors, Inc., and a former president of the Distilled Spirits Institute cénd a sometime treasurer of said institute. “Charlee A, Rawseon evecutive secretary of the Georgia Distilled Spirits Imstitute. “Hamp McWhorter, who was during the times alleged herein the attorney for the Georgia Dis tilled Spirits Institute and was al £o attorney for Progressive Dis~ tributors, Ine.” “Dave Myers, a part owner and official of the State Distributing Co., and also a former official of the Georgia Distilled Spirits In stitute.

Tension Rises In Coal Tieup PITTSBURGH, Sept. 26—(AP) —Tension mounted in western Pennsylvania coal fields today as 480,000 United Mine Workers be gan the second week of their na tionwide strike. There are no signs of a break in the strike. John L. Lewis, head of the UMW, says none can be ex pected while steel contract talks are underway. The steel talks re sumed ‘today, with negotiators working against a five-day dead line to stave off a nationwide strike in that wvital industry. Pennsylvania state police are patrolling several areas in western Pennsylvania. They arrested three men on riot charges during the week end and said they're fearful violence may break out today if pickets try to interrupt operations at some non-union mines, The operator of the Lingle coal mine, near Shawville, Pa., in the Clearfield area said,he would try and bring coal out of his two deep mines and one strip mine today. Police said they'd stand by. There have been reports of vio lence from pickets in several states, including West Virginia where 120,000 miners are idle. Last week pickets closed several small non-union mines near Char leston, W. Va. The pickets said they’d be back today. There was little activity in most coal mining regions during the week end, This walkout is nothing unusual for the older miners— they've guit work voluntarily 21 times in the past 30 years. . 2nd Walkout This year the diggers have been idle twice before for a week or longer. In March they quit the pits for two weeks and in June for another weel, And, since their contract ran out last June 30, most of them have been working oniy three days a week under Lewis’ orders. Now they’re on what Lewis calls a “no day work week.” Lewis is set to resume contract talks with northern and western (Continued On Page Two) Democratic-Republican Battle Over Foreign Policy Develops WAS_HINGTON, Sept. 26.--‘ (AP) —A Republicap-Democratic. battle over foreign policy seemed to be developing today in pre- | liminary skirmishes of the 1950 Congressional campaign, | Politicians said they will be surprised if it warms into the isolationist - international argu ment of yesteryear. Instead, they look for a quarrel over the meth ods and strategy of keeping world peace. | Two Republican candidates in next year’s Senate races—Senator Taft of Ohio and former Rep. Dirksen of Illinois—already are beating the bushes in eriticism of administration foreign policies. Taft told a reporter some of his critics are accusing him unjustly of being an isolationist because he voted against the North At lantic security pact and the ad nuinistration’s $1,814,000,000 for eign arms program. Taft said he balked at the arms program because he thinks it may provoke Russia to war much sooner than the Soviets otheg-wile mignt 82, : He said he voted against the pact only because he felt that it involved an apms conmmnitment.

Y., Sept. 26 — —{AF)—Ty Cobb, one of ihe first players to be named to Baseball’s Hall of Fame, and his bride are going to let the major 1 league pennant races determine 1 their honeymoon spot. | The famed Georgia Peach took 1 his wife Saturday, the former Mrs. Frances Cass. It was Cobb’s second marriage; his bride’s third. Cobb was divorced two vears ago. Mrs. Cobb’s first hus- | barnd was killed in an airplane ° crash 15 years ago. She and her second husband, A. Allen Fusco, were divorced recently. Cobb - said he and his wife have only one definite plan: to attend the World Series. Aims Of Univ. Religious Program Cited Chaplain Robert H. Ayers of the University of Georgia told the opening convocation in Fine Arts Auditorium last night that a Uni versity religious program must serve needs of four areas. Such a program, he said, must concern itself with the individual; it must permit relevant questions and provide relevant answers as the student progresses beyond his childhood concept of religion; it must foster intelligent loyailty to religious institutions; and it must interpret religion in the light of contemporary expeérience, The non-denominational Uni~ versity of Georgia Religious Asso ciation, he further said, should supplement the denominational groups organized on the campus. All Athens Churches and Uni~ versity agencies cooperated in making last night's program pos sible. President J. C. Rogers of the University presided, and May=- or Jack Wells brought greetings. The University Chorus, Edwin K. Blanchard, soloist; Mr. Hugh Hodgson, Miss Lucille Kimble, and Robert Harrison provided the mu=- sic.

Marshall Plan Dirksen, known as an advocate of -international cooperation when he was a member of the House, has teed off on the Marshall Plan. He voted for it, when he was in the House, Now he says that the U. 8. de ficit is such that to be sending funds abroad for European eco nomic recovery is “like the blind leading the blind.” Democrats haven't settled on Taft’s opponent. Senator Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic leader, probably will run again for the job Dirksen wants. Lucas is one of the staunchest Senate support-| ers of the administration’s for eign policies. | Senator Donnell (R.-Mo.), an other Republican critics of the handling of international affairs, expects to start campaigning soon for next year's elections. His rec ord is varied, since he - voted ‘against the North Atlantie Pact but in favor of the arms program. ATHENS, CA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1949, Russian Call For A-Bomb Control Termed "Phoney” Congressmen Studying Plans To Tighten Security Fences WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. — (AP) — Congressmen studied new plans today for tightening security fences and rooting out Red spies. , A Russian call for international A-bomb control was branded “‘a phoney.” Rep. Velde (R.-111.), a former G-man who worked on Soviet espionage cases, said the security record is “dis graceful” and “a threat to our national existence.” He talked of introducing a reso lution demanding a Congressional investigation of “the entire securi ty set-up.” Velde is a member of the House Un-American Activitieq Committee. | Senator O’Conor (D.-Md.), act ing chairman of the Senate immi~ gration ecommittee, said present laws permit “Communist infiltra tion under the guise of diplomatic and semi-diplomatic status.” He called for a new law to bar them from the country or throw them out if they get in, regardless of their diplomatic status. ‘ Senator McMahon (D.-Conn.) chairman of the Senate-House Atomic Committee, applied the “phoney” label to Russia’s re newed proposal for United Na tions control of atomic weapons. McMahon said he did not be lieve the Ruscians produced a “working bomb” until a few weeks ago, yet “they would like the world to believe they have a stockpile now.” Adequate System ; Senator Mundt (R.-S.D.) sug gested that, sincé U. N. atomic ef forts have broken down, United Nations members meet as indivi dual powers to create an adequate system. He spoke in Chicago. Senator Watkins (R.-Utah) call ‘ed for a U. S.-Russian showdown on the guestion witanin the U, N, before Russia can amass a stock- -pile of A-bombs. Senator May bank (D.-S.C.) spoke up for re . storing 5)800,000,- Congress Roundup 000 to enlarge the Air Force—a sum voted by the House and dr ped by the &nate. Pln at%gmic co’;x: flict, sald Maybank, the Air Force is “our first line of offense and defense.” The Senate-House Atomic Com mittee was rewriting its report on an investigation of the Atomic En ergy Commission in the light of the Russian explosion. Chairman McMahon said changes probably will be made in a section dealing with security measures the commission has tak en to preserve A-bomb secrets, He wouldn’t comment further. Data Leak Complaints that the commission had not taken enough pains in sealing off secret data which might reach Soviet hands formed one of the principal grounds for charges by Senator Hickenlooper (R.-Iowa). Hickenlooper accused the AEC and its chairman David E. Lilien thal of “incredible mismanage ment.” A bill to give the armed services their first general pay raise in 40 years comes up for a Senate vote at 5 p. m. EST. Approval was re garded ‘as certain. Backers pre dicted only scattered opposition. ine House aiready has approved a similar measure. The cost of the Senate bill is estimated at $274,000,000 from Oc tober 1, when the raise would be come effective, through the fiscal year ending next June 30. Dur ing the followin% year the cost would go to $348.000.000 and then come down to $304,000,000 an nually thereafter, The pay raise would affect al most all ranks in the three armed services and their branches, Economic Study Secretary of the Treasury Sny der invited himself to appear be There are reports the adminis~ tration may send W, Stuart Sym ington, Secretary of the Air Force and former St. Louis man ufacturer, after Donnell’s scalp. Fence Mending Senator Capehart (R.-Ind.), who once called for an endrtol the bi-partisan foreign policy but later voted for the Atlantic Pact, already is mending fences in his home state. Capehart wasn't rec orded on the arms bill. Democrats may get Governor Henry F. Schricker—who won in Indiana last year while Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York was carrying the state in the presidential race—into the con test against Capehart. In lowa, Republican Senator Hickenlooper has made the Atomic Energy Commission some thing of a campaign issue with his criticism of its management. On international affairs, he has gone along with the bipartisan foreign policy, as evidenced by his vote for the Atlantic Treaty. Also on this side of-the fence, Senator Morse (R.-Ore.). running for re-election, said he is certain of one thing: .. "¢ i . “The peonle of 'my &tate avant no return to isolation.” fore the House Foreign Affairs Committee today, He didi’t say why, Committee members presumed he wanted to: (1) Give them an inside look at the _British-Canadian—American' ieconomic dickering that preceded ‘the devaluation of the British pound and (2) then ask for quick action on legislation designed to improve the economic health of Britain and Western Europe. Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) wants Spain as a partner in North Atlan tic defenses again a possible attack from Soviet Russia. Taft said he thought the U, 8. should renew {friendly relations with Spain and invite that urani=- um-~rich country into the commun ity of nations prepared to fight any advances of Communism, “She is in a key position so far as Europe is concerned,” Taft said before leaving for Ohio to resume political campaigning. He pointed out' that Spain could provide air bases from which to launch coun ter-attacks as well as areas in which American troops could be landed in the event of an enemy attack. The discovery of new sources of uranium was reported yesterday from Madrid. Spain already was the holder of the world's fourth largest uranium deposits, Police Probe Shootings In Albany Strike ALBANY, Ga., Sept. 26—(AP) —City and County police today were probing the firing of shotgun blasts at the automobiles and homes of two workers of the Al bany Manufacturing Company, large Albany hosiery mill which has been the object of an Ameri can Federation of Hosiery Work ers strike for almost two weeks. Early yesterday morning three shotgun glasts damaged the auto bile and home of R. L. McGahee in the Dixie Heights sub-division in East Albany, County Police Chief Royace Hinson said. One of the blasts struck the left front door and window glass of the Mc~ Gahee auto, scattering glass into the car’s interior. The second blast at the MeGa hee residence struck the front door steps, and the third shot hit about three inches below the bed room window., Chief Hinson said. McGahee was reported sleeping near the window, 0. E. Willis, also of this city, didn’t know he had been the ob~ ject of shooting until he awoke at the usual time yesterday morning. A blast had struck his automobile, City Police Chief Morton Burnett said. The chief added he didn’t kKnow how many shots had been fired but pellets also struck the residence, he added. Willis, like McGahee, was not on strike with the local union. Two Injured In Accidents Two persons were hospitalized last night for injuries received in accidents. Robert Williams, of 148 Poplar street, slipped and fell down an embankment on Baxter street op posite the Hendley revival serv ices tent. Mr. Williams was taken to General Hospital in a Bernstein ambulance and this morning one of his arms was placed in a cast.

James J. Thimmes, international vice-president of the CIO United Steelworkers, said flatly yesterday he sees “little chance” of the negotiations ending successiulily. He did not elaborate. , _. Some other Steelworkers’ lead ers said privately they, too, were‘ just as pessimistic as Thimmes. There was no statement from | Philip Murray, president of thel Steelworkers, who led the top~l negotiating team in talks with big U. S. Steel Corporation, And in dustry spokesmen kept mum. - Thimmes, who usually sits with Murray at the conference table, gave his blunt and pessimistic view of the situation in a talk to officers of Steelworkers District No. 30 at Terre Haute, Ind. “Unless we get the pension plan and social ingurance we will strike Saturday,” Thimmes said before taking a plane for Pitts=- burgh. “There will be no nrore extension.” Thimmes echoed Murray who has made it clear he won't ex tend the strike truce further. The current truce 1s the third Presi dent Truman has engineered gince the industry and the steel workers reached an impasse, The pension issue is the big thing. Wages are not involved.

WIFE, FRIEND VICTIMS Partial Deaf Mute Murder Case Begins TALLADEGA, Ala., Sept. 26 — (AP)—A partial deaf mute, ac= cused of killing his wife and her girl friend and concealing their nude bodies in a cess pool; goes on trial for murder today. The defendant, Herbert Hoover Gentry, 21, will probably first be tried in the pistol slaying of Mrs. Louise Deal, Columbus, Ga., his wife’s friend. The nude, bullet pierced bodies of Mrs, Deal and Mrs. Flonie Adams Gentry, 19, were taken from a eess pool at the rear of the Gentry home last winter as scores of persons watched in horror. Police officers said Gentry, a slim, sharp - featured foundry worker. has made several state ments since then, some admittix;g and several denying that he kill Circuit Solicitor J. J. Cockrell HOME EDITION ’ Chain Seen ELRLIN, Sept. 26-(AP)-Rug sia has dotted Eastern Europé with launching bases for deadlier rockets than Hitler ever used in World War 11, German and Amer« ican sources said today. Reliable German sources said a 4 least the Nazi-built munitions plant in Soviet-occupied Germsany - is producing rockets for Russia, | The exact location of the Soviet launching bases is not known. But Allied military intelligence officers said they believed Russia had con= structed a chain of them-—aimed at Western Europe—siretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea in Soviet satellite territory. . A U, 8. intelligence officer saiq “it is a matter of epezulation’ whether rockets launched in Czechoslovakia, Poland or the points of Western Europe. Military informants said there was no evidence the Soviet zone of Germany was being prepared Balkans could reach the farthest as a rocket launching base. The Soviet zone, however, in= cludes Peenemuende, one of the biggest of Hitler's rocket plants on the Baltic coast. Peenemuende | was once smashed by British . bomabers but reports clrculated recently Russia has rebuilt it with } German war prisoners as laborers. i Underground Plant i Another pro-allied German in~ | formant said a huge underground | munitions factory built by the l Nazis at Rechlin, in mnortheast Germany, also in turning out new | and deadlier rockets than those Hitler used to shoot at England, He said the Rechlin plant haws been cordoned off with a heavy , Soviet guard, and that thick mine~ fields have been laid. * | A U.S, Army source sald: “It is | perfectly logical that Russia | should have & network of launch | ing bases for rockets. We know | that Russia sincerely fears an at tack from the West, and we know | that rockets are a basic defense | weapon of modern warfare.” i German scientists are believed | mainly responsible for the Soviet | rockets, improving on the vicious | V-2 weapons they first fashioned | for Hitler. Although the V-2 was th‘%lut rocket model used extensively on England, rumors were thick at the end of the war that Nazi engineers had worked their way through successive experimental models to a V-12, capable of reaching Amer~ ica’s East coast.
