Kickoff time is eight sharp. : The Trojans and the invading Hurricane will take the field with ‘dentical records, both teams hav ing won one and dropped one. The contest will be of inter-class scope, <ince Athens High is a member of Region 4-A in the Georgia High School set-up and Toccoa plays within the bounds of Region 4-B. Toccoa’s grid Hurricane was to arrive here late this afternoon, -ome 30 strong, and will take their 'ast-minute warm-ups on Sanford ‘urf with the Trojans just before ickoff time. Athens High’s squad will dress out at least 36 players tonight. Well-Balanced Club : Toccoa brings a reportedly well halanced ball club to the Classic ~ity for battle with the Trojans. The visitors are expected to count veavily on the chunking arm of Dave Williams, aerial artist, for » big part of their offensive bite. Villiams was a main cog in the Toccoa machine that marked up a '4-6 win over Athens last year, vhen the Hurricane went through " ten-game schedule without a defeat. Head €oach Earl Wheby, in his ‘irst season at the Prince Avenue ‘nstitution, will eounter Toccoa’s ~ffensive bids with a potent attack f his own.

Tl B R e A - gt Members of the Georgia Bank ers Association, meeting in the Georgian hotel hallroom, heard the dynamic speaker assert that “we must build our country around the rural boys and girls of the nation . . » that’s what we're doing in our county.” Warming to his subject and car rying his audience with him, attor=- ney Norman reminded the bankers that “agriculture is the basic foundation of the American sys tem of government.” Drawing an allegory for - his listeners, the speaker pointed out that if one stands on the river bank and watches the water, left muddy by loose topsoil washing away to the sea, one sees a nation drowning. Said Norman, “Church and school, industry and family, all die with the death of the topsoil. All the great powers of the past have failed because they neglected their agriculture.” Citing the work done in Wilkes county to revitalize the agricul= tural program there, Norman re-l called that five years ago, only two of the rural youth there own ed pure bred Jersey cows, Last year, Wilkes county stood fourth in the nation for the number of junior boys owning pure bred cat tle. Norman himself has turned his energy in the past few years toward helping the 4-H ang FFA youth in the new agricultural pro gram for Wilkes county, The! boys and girls work on a chain lcontract basis. | 4-H Praise : | Speaker Norman was lavish in his praise of the 4-H and FFA boys and girls, declaring time and again that the salvation of this na= tion remains with them. It is up to leaders in every walk of life to recognize that fact and encour age them, concluded Norman. Officers of the Georgia Bankers Assoeiation named for the ensuing year were: Chairman, E. C.

ATHENS, CA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1949, House Spy Probers Reveal Identity Of 'Scientist X' Minnesota Professor Is Accused WASHINGTON, Sept. 80 »—(AP)—House spy hunt ers today named a .Univer sitv of Minnesota vprofessor Joseph W, Weinberg as the “scientist X" accused of passing wartime A-bomb se crets to a Communist agent. The un-American activi ties committee put the fing er on Weinberg in a report in which it recommended that the Justice Department prosecute him on perjury charges. As “scientist X,” Weinberg tes tified before the committee in closed door sessions last year. He denied knowing Communist lead- l er Steve Nelson. A The committee said Weinberg gave Nelson atomic bomb ‘data back in 1943 when Weirberg was working at the University of Cal ifornia Radiation Laboratory. They now have witnesses, they said, to prove Weinberg lied when he denied this. Two bills bearing $7,124,000,000 in economic and miltary aid for America’s cold war allies are ready for President Truman’s sig nature.

Thousands more were forced into idleness as steel mills banked | furnaces, cutting preduction to a | trickle. Picketing has started. Police guarded mills agains p~ssible vio lence. f Meantime, union and manage= ' ment stuck stubbornly to demands. No one hints at compromise. Both - sides decline comment on every thing. Murray, United Sieelworkers Union president, said glumly after another fruitless talk with U. S. Steel: - “I wouldn’t even comment about hope at this time.” That’s how ble:'- the picture is. Main Dispute | The issue is a pensiun-insurance program. The union wants steel firms to adopt the formula set down by President Truman’s fact~ singing board. This is a 10-cent an-hour contribution paid entirely by industry. The union says it's the minimum they’ll lake. Big Steel rejected the proposal. Instead it offered a pension-in~ surance plan toward which em~ ployees would contribute. Murray and his 509,000 steel workers wouldn’'t accept that. They say: | “We've given up demands for a pay increase as ordered Liv the fact l tiniiin’g board. Now industry must yield. Twice Murray agr.ed to a strike truce, requested by Mr. Truman, while regotiations for a new steel pact continued. : Now — it’s a contract or a strike. And, says Murray, if it’s a strike the stecl industry forced it on the l workers. ! One small firm — Fortsmouth | (Ohio) Steel Corporation — has given in to Murray. Unofficially it’s the 14th lorgest steel producer in the nation. But it employs only 4,000 of the 500,000 vrionists.
