—(AP)—President Trumam2 mak
ing his first rear platform talk
since the election, told a erowd at
Savanna, 111, today he is trying
his best to carry out Democratic
campaign pledges.
A crowd of several hundred
turned out in the cold at 7:40 a.
m. (CST) to greet the President
aboard his old campaign train on
the anniversary of his greatest
political victory.
He carried with him what he
lokingly described as a “non-po
litical, bi-partisan” speech for de
livery at St. Paul, Minn., at 10:30
p. m. (Eastern Standard Time) to
night.
His aids said it was a renewal of
his blasts at “reactionaries” and of
his championship of the “Fair
Deal” program for which he cam=
paigned in 1948 and which he pre
:fr(\.".u:d to the 81st Congress last
January,
And they emphasized he will
send the program back to Congress
again in January and back to the
voters in next year’s Congressional
elections,

COLONIAL POULTRY PROCESSING PLANT
Starting business in 1941, Mr.
Terry has built his poultry pro
cessing business to its present
magnitude. Operating at capacity,
the plant will pay out to the far
mers of Northeast Georgia an av=
erage of $175,000 a week for
chickens.
The new plant, located on
Oneta street, near the Athens city
limits, is the fourth expansion
the company has made since its
beginning in 1941, and now from
its 27,000 square feet of floor
space dressed poultry is steadily
shipped by express and in refrig
erated trucks to all sections in the
Southeast.
The new plant, designed by Mr.
Terry, is the most modern known
to the industry. It has a dual con~
veyor system, each independent
of the other, and operates on an
“assembly line” basis.
Process Lines
Operation of Colonial’s process
ing lines is planned from ten to
twelve weeks in advance, On reg
ular schedules trucks back up to
the wunloading platforms at
spaced intervals, each truck un
loading from two so three thous
and chickens, Unloaded, the
chickens are placed in feeding
batteries. After additional feed
ing and thorough inspections and
examinations by two Colonial in
spectors, in addition to regular
city, county, state and federal in
spections, the chickens are then
ready for processing.
Iced shipments are going out
constantly either by express or on
one of the company’s many pieces
of motorized rolling eguipment,

$200,000 Bootleg Whiskey
Combine Exposed In Macon
- . =
Wholesale Firm And Five
* .
Retailers Cited By Shaw
ATLANTA, Nov. 8. — (AP) — A Macon wholesale
liquor firm and five retailers were accused today of con
spiracy in an illegal whisky combine which poured be
tween SIOO,OOO and $200,000 worth of liquor into dry
counties in six weeks. '
Special Liquor Investigator Claude Shaw, who made
the charges, named J. M, Simmons of Macon ag the “king
pin” behind the alleged bootleg operations. He urged
State Revenue Commissioner Charles Redwine to revoke
all six lecenses.
Called before Redwine to an=
swer the charges were Phillip
Simmons, wno nolds a license for
Macon Wholesale Liquors, inc.; J.
M. Simmons, general n:anager of
the wholesale firm; and five re
tailers, Raymona Simmons, J. E.
Formby, T, E. Davison, 4. E. Da
vison and W. H. Davison. Philip
Simmons is J M. Sinunons' son
and Raymond is his nepaew.
Actually, since Kormpy as cited
his license has been transferred to
Clarence William:, ancther neph
ew of J. M, T“immons. g
Shaw, an assistaut attorney
general assigned by Gov, Herman ,
f'almadge to stamp out Georgm’s’
liquor *scandal,” charged the |
wholesale firm with (i) conspira=|
¢y with the retailers, (2) falsuica= |
tion of reports and (3) dry coun= !
ty sales. . :
Stay: Violations !
Each retailer was accused of
(1) conspiracy and (2, falsifica
tion of rej orts. In addition, Form=
by was accused of seliing to other
retailers and selling moore than !
two quarts to a purcnasex. All are 1
violations of Georgia’s liquor laws.
As Shaw launchec s point-py=
point attack, he released copies of
his presentments, affidavits and
evidence. In each of ibe six cases
J. M| Simmons was described as
the power behind the scenes,
At the start of the hearing, Mc~
Kibben Lane, attorney for the
Lfive retailers, asked separate con
sideration of the cases against
them, But Shaw said the cases
were so closely interwoven he
would present his chsiges at the
same time, und the dealers could
make any defense they wished.
Carlton Mobley, attorney for
Simmons, said he had no comment
to make before he heard the
charges.
“We are able to show,” the li
quor investigator asserted, “that
J. M. Simmons is the central fig
ure behind all of these licenses,
the king pin of these various bus
inesses, the moving force back of
each one of these licenses cited
here today.
Son In Front
«“The record will shcw that dur
ing the year 1946, J. M. Simmons
began to use his son, Phillip, as
the front for his wholesale liquor
operations.”

WASHINGTON, Nov, 3.~(AP)~—The Internal Reveénue Bureau
today postponed until March 1 the effective date of a ruling

The postponement was in response to protests from manuface

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3— (AP) —John L. Lewis today asked
Governor Henry Schricker to renew his effort for a separate coal
strike settlement in Indiana — 2 proposal rejected by the state’s
mine owners yesterday.
Such a settiement might break the way for ending the nation
wide strike of 400,000 United Mine Workers.
Lewis, in a telegram to Schricker, declared the UMW is ready
to meet the Indiana operators “on a few hours’ notice.”
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—(AP)—FErick Rios Bridoux, Bolivian

Talk Of Government
Strike Action Rises
Federal Move Seen As Indiana Coal
Operators Refuse Lewis Peace Talks ‘
WASHINGTON, Nov. B.—(AP)—Reports that the gov
ernment may soon step into the coal strike revived today
with word that Indiana operators have refused separate
peace talks with John L. Lewis,
One highly-placed official closely watching the steel
coal crisis said: “We can’t let Lewis go much beyond this
week-end.”
He indicated that unless there
ig some progress toward settling
the 46-day coal strike the govern
ment will invite Lewis and apera.,
tors to Washington negoti,atiom,l
probably some time next week,
Failure of such federal talks
would put the coal problem up to
President Truman. Up to now Mr.
Truman has held that neither the
coal nor steel strikes has reached
the National emergency stage.
The Tndiana operators last night
turned down & pioposal of Cov..
Henry Schricker of Indiana for &
separate coal pact covering that
date, Lewis had accepted the idea,
saying he could submit any tenta
tive offer to his union’s policy
committee at its meeting in Chi
cago Monday.
Reject Idea
The Indiana operators discussed
+he idea and rejected it. Harvey
Cartwright, secretary of the In
diana Coal Producers Associa=
Association, said: “The issues in
volved are national in character
and cannot be reconciled to dis
trict negotiations.”
This evident decision to stick
to industry-wide bargaining was
