Ex-Athenian Charged With Rowe Safe Job
BY ED THILENIUS
A youthful suspect 1s being held by city police today charged
with the burglary of the Rowe Warehouse last Tuesday night in
which $3,500 was taken from the company safe. .
Arrested was John William Thomas, 21, former Athenian, but
recently from Augusta.
He was arrested with an attractive blonde girl friend who told
police of a wild tour of parties she and Thomas had been on dur
ing the past week.
Thomas, who was sentenced to 8 to 10 vears for burglary of the
Rowe Warehouse on March 18th of thi. year when $2,200 was
taken and four safes punched open, has been out on $5,000 appeal
bond. He was also under smaller bonds for drunk driving and
carrying @ concealed weapon.
He is also under police suspicion of having a hand in the safe
burglary of the Loef company on the night of Sept. 29, when
pearly SBOO was taken from a punched safe.
Thomas was the object of an extensive search by city, county
and state officers, since the latest Rowe burglary resembled the
first caper in almost every detail.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 17—(AP)—
America’s strike idle neared the
miliion mark today as 16,000 CIO
members struck nine plants of
Aluminum Company of America.
The aluminum workers joined
480,000 striking steelworkers and
380.000 striking soft coal miners.
More than 55,000 workers in
allied industries have been laid
01l
Some steelworkers’ members in
the fabricating steel industry —
which makes everything from
hairpins to refrigerators—struck
during the week-end. Other fab
ricators’ eontracts expire from now
until mid-December.
There’s still no sign of peace. in
labor's biggest conflict since the
endend of World War 11.
The government is gravely con
cerned. The walkouts threaten to
knock post-war economy into a
cocked hat.
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
s2id yesterday the steel strike will
idle five million persons if it runs‘
to December 1.
So far, President Truman has
kept on the sidelines. His media~-
tors are pounding away at the
problems—but with little success.
The mediators tried to head off
the steel strike. three times. Now
they're trying to get industry
leaders and steelworker President
Philip Murray back to the bar
gaining table.
Fate Awaited .
“It's in the lap of the Gods"”
Murray said yesterday as he dis
cussed possible strike settlement in
a talk at Bethlehem, Pa.
Pensions are the big issue in the
Aluminum Company strike, just
as they are in the steel strike.
A company spokesman said only
30 per cent of Alcoa production
will be affected because workers
at its other 16 plants are repre
sented by AFL and other unions.
Murrray insists industry pay the
entire eost of a pension and in
surance program-—exactly as the
Presidential Fact Finding Board
recommended. Big steel has of
fered to pay the 10-cent package
recommended by the board—but
not unless the steelworkers econ
tribute too.
Big Aluminum Company of
America, which makes 50 per cent
of the nation’s aluminum, says it
met the steelworkers’ demand for
six cents for pensions and four
cents for insurance.
: Talks Cease
_Tne company said negotiations
collapsed Friday night over the
union’s refusal to accept a pro
vision that the proposed pension
plan be subject to any future ad-
Justment in federal Social Security‘
IThere was little, if any picket
ng, at Alcoa’s plants. At New‘
Kensington, Pa., where 4,000 are
€mployed, three union representa

Bitter M hi
Mangled Body Found On Mountain
Road; Police Face Wall Of Silence
DAISY, Tenn., Oct. 17. — (AP) — Daisy Mountain’s
moonshine feud bids fair to take its place with the famed
Hatfield and McCoy squabble in southern mountain his
tory.
Spawned during a dispute over the making of corn
whisky and fanned by bitter hatred, the feud flamed
anew over the week-end. Another man was killed on the
lonely mountainside—the third to die since the hill coun
try war began two years ago. . .
Police found William L. (Boots)
Parker lying on a muddy slope of
the mountain Saturday night, shot
three times and bludgsoned with
an ax. ,
Raymond Bell, 29, was found at
the scene, two ax wounds on his
head. Bell and his brother, Ed,
23, were arrested and Chief De
puty Scott. Swafford charged
them with murder. They face ar
raignment tomorrow.
Officers have redoubled patrols
on the mountain but have met
with the same tight-lipped silence
that greeted them affer the two
previous deaths: no one knows
anything about the slaying.
“I¢’s hard to get those people
on the mountain to talk,” says
Sheriff Frank Burns.
Evidence has been sparse when
ever one of the mountaineers has
been tried for a killing. Several
persons recently were indicted on
murder charges in the first two
deaths. Three trials were held and
all were acquitted.
Peace Try Fails
For a while it seemed there
would be peace on the mountain.

City Detectives Hardy and McKinnon, Clarke county Sheriff
Tommy Huff and GBI Agents T. Y. Wansley and Sgt. Jim Har
ralison, were the key figures in the case who doggedly tracked
Thegas down, None of the officers had any sleep during the past
week,
A wLarrant charging Thomas with Burglary has been sworn out
and the amount of his bond was expected to be set by Sheriff
Huif late today.
Running Accouant
Chief of Police Clarence Roberts gave the following running
account of how Thomas was tracked down:
After discovery of the safe job last Wednesday morning, Sheriff
Huff and Detective Hardy received information that Thomas, late
Tuesday afternoon, had tried to buy gas on credit in the city.
They also learned that Thomas had paid a SSO debt early Wed=
nesday morning after being apparently broke Tuesday afternoon.
The two officers went to Augusta to see if any trace of Thomas
could be found there, but were unable to find any. clues, g}ey,
went to that city since Thomas made a bee-line for Augusta after
the first Rowe burglary.
A representative of each faction
appeared on a nationwide radio
broadcast (We The Pecple) last
December and proclaimed an end
to the feud. It evidently didn't
take.
Parker was the brother of Theo
dore (Pap) Parker, reportedly the
leader of one of the factions, who
is now serving 18 months in a
Kentucky prison for transporting
illegal whisky. There are plenty
of relatives and friends to take up
the battle if they chcose.

that Thomas had caught a bus near Winder early Wednesday and
headed for Atlanta. Det. McKinnon and Si.e Harralison joined
Huff and Hardy and all four hurried to the state capital. In Atlanta
the officers learned that Thomas had been visiting in Austelle—
a small city about 18 miles north of Atlanta—so the officers head
ed there.

However, after talking to numerous persons, the officers re
turned here Friday night empty handed.
Their first break came Saturday when Sheriff Huff and Hardy
received a tip that Thomas had just left Athens in a 1940 Ford

chase and overtook Thomas and his blonde companion.
The pair was brought back to headquarters here and an exten=

Gen. Cates Accuses Army Of Trying
To Wipe Out Combat Power Of Corp
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—(AP)—General Clifton B,
Cates, head of the Marine Corps, accused the Army high
command today of trying to wipe out the "combat power
of the Marine Corps.”
Cates told the House Armed Services Committee that
the combat morale of his fighting force still is high.
But substantial harm has been
done to the national defense he
said, by “crippling handicaps” in
flicted on the Marine Corps
through Pentagon policies.
Severe and telling blows are be
ing struck into the “bone and
muscle” of the Marines, Gates said.
Reductions, he said, are “striking
into the heart of our combat
forces.”
"~ “Cates was a witness at the House

tends, builds up the Air Corps at
the expense of the Navy.
The Admirals argue that in high
defense councils the Army and the
Air Force have joined up to out
vote the Navy 2-1.
Cates and Gen. A. A. Vandegrift,
a former commandant of Marines,
were called as the last witnesses
for the Navy. Next the committee
will hear the other side of the dis
