COURTROOM AWED
Tired Jury
Finds Tokyo
Rose Guilty
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30 —
(AP)—Stony faced, Iva Toguri
D’Aquino heard herself convicted
of treason last night—for telling
Amesrican troops their ships had
been sunk in Leyte Gulf and they
were “orphans of the Pacific.”
A somewhat reluctant federal
’jury of six men and six women
brought in the verdict after four
days’ deliberation. A surprised
“Oh!”, of apparent disappointment,
|:wept the courtrpom.
Iva—Los Angeles-born and edu
cated—remained as stoic as she
had during the 12-week trial. Head
bowed, she said nothing. No tears.
Later she told her attorney “I
can’t understand it.” An appeal
is pianned.
October 6 was set for sentencing,
The minimum sentence would be
five years imprisonment and a
SIO,OOO fine; the maximum—
death. But the government did
not ask the death penalty,
Foreman John Mann said the
jurors would have liked to acquit
the 33-year-old woman known to'
Gl's as Tokyo Rose, but “we did
the only thing we thought possible
under the judge’s instructions.”

charges on the agenda.
. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Y. Vishinsky denied the Chinese
indictment. He said the Chiang
Kai-shek regime was rotten and
was falling apart, and a Commun
ist Peoples Party was fast replac
ing it. He cited a U. S. State De
partment white paper to bolster
his argument.
Ticklish Problem
The United States is confronted
with a ticklish problem in its re
lation with China because of the
detention of three American ships
by the Nationalist “blockade” of
the Communist ports.
The Isbrandtsen Line of New
York, which operates the three
merchantmen detained, said the
answer lies in the U. S. Navy giv
ing protection to American ship
ping in Chinese waters. The State
Department appeared to be cool
to the suggestion.
The Nationalists’ disputed block
ade has been in effect since June
25, but so far has caused little in
ternational friction.
Both Conservatives and some
left-wing Laborites are pressing
for an early general election in
Britain. The Labor Government
of Prime Minister Attlee was com
fortably sustained by a big vote in
the House of Commons vesterday.
' November Election
The left wing publication. The
Tribune, which is close to Health
Minister Aneurin Bevan, urged an
election in November. The gov
ernment’s term of office does not
expire until next summer. Observ
ers said the leftwingers wanted an
early election in fear that devalu
ation of the pound would spiral
living costs and labor’s election
chances would be better now than
later. The conservatives said their
political machine was ready for
an election anytime.
The Hungarian government in
Budapest renounced its treaty of
friendship and mutual aid with
Yugoslavia. This followed similar
action by Russia yesterday. It
seemed likely that all Soviet satel
ite nations would follow the Mos~
cow lead.

Cabiiret Raises
The Senatc votel 52 to 14 last
night o raise the salaries of Mr.,
Truman’s ¢a inet memnbers from
$15,000 a year to $22,500,
The House already hau voted
the department heads a $25,000 sal
ary. Both bills also cail for pay
increase for a long lis* of other
high government officials. Their
differences must now be ironed
out in conferences,
~ With the $700,000 cabinet pay
bill out of the way, the Senate
turned to a House-approved meas
ure to hike the wages of 500,000
postal employes — including post
masters — by about $i180,000,000
a year.
Action on this — S2nator Lucas
(D-111) predicte its speedy ap
proval — would clear the way for
consideration of znother House~
approved measure, this one to in~
crease the basic pay of government
civi service employes.
Senate economy taikers got an
other set-back during voting on
the cabinet pay raise bill. Their
proposed amendment to require
President Truman to reduce au
thorized spending by from 5 to 10
per cent was rejected. ;
It was the same amendment that
has been turned down before in
connection with other bills.
Economy Move
Senator Bridges (R-NH), a
leadzr of the ecoromy mwove, said
he didn’t expect therz would be
another try to pare down federal
spending by this method until

T. M. PHILPOT
" |am placing my candidacy before the people of Athens for the
office of Mayor, because | feel that | am thoroughly qualified to
fill this office, and because | believe that my platform is one that
will make the City a better place in which to live, better managed
and more prosprous.
| have lived in Athens for the past 34 years, and it is my earnest
desire and intentiom to live here the remainder of my life. This
City has been good to me and | love its people. Therefore, | feel
that | owe something to Athens’ continued progress and as Mayor,
will work untiringly with all other branches of our City govern
ment and the citizens of Athens to coordinate all functions of our
governing bodies.
| am setting out my platform in an eight point program, not
necessarily in order of preference, nor limiting myself to these
issues, but these are the fundemental principles in which | believe:
1. The City of Athens is probably the largest corporation in
Northeast Georgia. It involves many different functions and |
believe that the only economical way to run a business is with good
business management. If elected your Mayor, | shall propose to
council that the charter be changed to provide the employment
of a City manager. in this way the Mayor and Council would em
ploy a sound business man and act as a Board of Directors, keeping
constant supervision of the affairs of the city. :
| shall request our legislators to ammend the charter of the City
and that a referendum be submitted to the voters as early as possi
ble. Our state law requires a referendum.
| am confident that under such a plan, thousands of dollars
could be saved, and that instead of raising taxes, there could be a
reduction.
A City manager form of government would in no way effect our
Board of Health, Board of Education or Police and Fire Depart
ments, all of which would continue to operate as at present.
2. As Athens is the educational center of Georgia, | want it to
have the most outstanding public school system in the state. The
citizens have expressed a desire for more modern improvements
in our school system, as proposed by our Board of Education in
1946. | heartly approve of what has already been done: But, in
addition to improved buildings, | want to see that our schools are
equipped with the very finest equipment and facilities of every
nature that are so essential for an efficient school system. :
3. The health facilities of Athens could be greatly improved by
extending the sewerage and water system to every house possible
in the City. This would eliminate ali surface toilets and septic
tanks. At the present time, there are surface toilets in plain view
from Broad street, one of our main thoroughfares, between Mill.
edge Avenue and the business section. | will cooperate to the
fullest extent with the Health Department toward elimination
of such unhealthy conditions. Furthermore, it is necessary to 2
good health program to have efficient garbage collection and |
wish to state here that | will NOT ask the Legislature to amend
our City charter in order that we can legally collect the garbage
tax. It is the duty of the City to collect all garbage without addi
tional charge tc the people.
4. As chairman of the Civil Service Commission, i have worked
closely with our Fire and Police Departments toward improving
the protection of citizens. Due to my experience with these de
partments, | feel that | am particularly qualified to plan for con
tinued improvements therein. When running for the office of
Commissioner, | advocated the addition of eight men to the police
force and the setting up of a separate traffic division. The Civil
Service Commission has absolute control of the two departments,
with the exception of finances, so the traffic division was created,
but only six men have been added to the force.
5. I am in favor of paving streets when and where the necessary
majority of the property owners thereon petition for paving and
the petitions will be fulfilled in the order in which they are passed
by the Council.
6. | am in favor of industrial expansion and increassd payrolls
and think that the City should cooperate with all civic organiza
tions in bringing new industries to Athens. In fact, my policy
would be for the City to go out and try to get these new industries
here.
7. I do not believe that any additional taxes will be needed for
our City government to function efficiently and properly.
8. I will be the Mayor of ALL the people of Athens and will en
courage those outside of the governing bodies to join with me in
progressive planning for the future to make Athens a bigger and
better City. :
