Plan In Reply To U. S.
By The Associated Press
Goviet Foreign Minister Andrei
v Vishinsky told the United Na
tions vesterday (Sat) that as long
aco as 1947 Russia indicated a
willingness to open her doors to
atomic inspection and control,
In an angry reply to U. S. As
<ietant Secretary of State John D.
flickerson, he said the issue under
debate was not inspection. It was,
he disclosed, the desire of the west
io operate atomic plants in the
Qrviet Union.
«we cannot and will not, and
never shall grant to an interna
tional commission the ownership
of our land,” he said. “Provided
our sovereignty is respected, we
are prepared to accept control if
ihere are no abuses.”
He said that under the Soviet

A little while before Vishinsky

ne blast in the atomic debate, So
viet Ambassador Alexander Pan
vushkin walked out of the U, N.
cocial committee session after an
gorily refusing to reply to Yugos
lav charges that Russia is moving
iroops to Yugoslavia’s border.
While the Yugoslavs were mak
ing this dccusation in the U. N.
Marshal Tito’s government at
Belgrade tore up its treaty of
friendship and mutual aid with
neighboring Albania. ;
Tito accused Albania of carry
ing out hostile acts against Yu
coslavia under provocation from
Russia and her east European
..nners.
Church Oaths
In Czechoslovakia, the Com
munist government advised Ro
man Catholic priests that it will
not accept loyalty oaths if they
ere made with reservations. Czech
bishops had offered to let the
priests swear allegiance providing
they added a stipulation gat. they
io not violate any divine or
church laws or human rights.

Probhe Plot
To Kill
N. Y. Judge
FBI Tracking Down
Rumor Judge Medina
Will Be Assassinated
NEW YORK, Nov, 12.—(AP)—
The FBI and New York police in
vestigated today a reported assas
sination plot against Federal
Judge Harold R. Medina.
The judge recently sentenced
11 top American Communist lead
ers to prison after they were
convicted in a nine-month’s trial.
Police said the FBI told them
that two Brooklyn men had in
formed on two girls after they
heard them say Judge Medina
would be “done away with sonre
time in the next few weeks.”
The FBI said its first word in
the case came from “the news
papers and police.”
Acting Captain William Kim
mins of the 15th Detective Dis~
trict in Brooklyn identified the
informants as Dennis Schuster,
24, and Melvin Cohen, 23, both es
Brooklyn, ehl &3
Kimmins said the pair gave the
FBI this story:
‘They met the girls at Coney
Island several weeks ago. They
knew them only as Audrey, about
18, and Marlene, slightly older.
They said the girls claimed to be
sisters.
They said Audrey and Marlene
told them several times in the
last fortnight that the judge
would be done away with.
Cohen, reached by telephone,
said:
“I cannot mention anything
about this because of the request
of the FBL.”
Judge Medina, about to leave
on a four-months vacation after
the long trial, attended today’s
Yale-Princeton football game at
Princeton, N. J.
He planned to drive to his
apartment near Central Park in
Manhattan immediately after the
game. Police ordered a guard to
the judge’s residence tonight.

000,000 yacht of the late J. Pier
pont Morgan, had a midnight

until midnight.
Commander Johnny Wier of the
Frank E. Mitchell Legion Post and
Mayo C. Buckley, chairman of the
board of trustees, proclaimed the
function very successful as the
first activities -of the post in its
new home. {
The post is planning to hold
weekly dances in the future to de
rive revenue for maintenance of
the new club house, Commander
Wier announced. The dances will
be planned to combine round
dancing and the square = dance,
which is enjoying new popularity
in this area.
Visitors to the new post home
yesterday were much impressed
by the beautiful fixtures and fur
niture on the interior of the club
house. The big dance floor, 75 by
60 feet, was polished to glassy
‘brilliance for the dance. Tre
central light fixture with its
hundreds of mirrors and spot
lights from the sides of the room,
was brilliant, and the constantly
changing light colors were a high
light of the main room.
Other features noted in the
newly-completed club house in
cluded the attractive lounge and
bar in the rear of the club house,
the completely equipped office
from which a direct microphone
allows announcements to be made
without interrupting dance acti
vities, and other modern aspects
that make the Frank E. Mitchell
Post home one of the most com
plete any+.here.
Future plans of the Frank E.
Mitchell Post call for outside rec
reational facilities to include a
baseball diamond, a softball field,
tennis and shuffleboard courts,
and a lake for fishing. Dutch
ovens will be built in the wooded
area behind the club house for
Stars fell on Athens this week.
Besides the elite parade of film
and radio stars, numerous other
activities kept Athenians on the
go. ’
The fireworks started Thursday
night with the arrival of Edgar
Bergen and Charlie McCarthy,
along with singer Morton Downey
and Freddie Martin’s band. The
occasion was a wedding rehersal
party for Nell Hodgson and Bob
Natt.
Robert - Woodruff, Coca - Cola
magnet, was host for the gala par
ty held at the Athens Country
club. Attending Athenians blinked
their eyes frequently as the steady
array of stars unfolded.
The full impact of the stars, ap
pearance here wasn’t felt until
Friday, since their arrival was a
close guarded secret.
The excitement continued at a
breathless pace Friday night as
famed opera singer James Melton
appeared at the Fine Arts audi

801 l Weevil Damage Here
Worst In Nearly 30 Years
Westbgook Praises Farmers
For Excellent “Weevil” Fight
BY GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
Assistant City Editor
801 l weevil damage to cotton in Clarke county this year
is estimated as being the worst in almost thirty years, said
E. C. Westbrook, Georgia Agricuiturai Extension Service
cotton specialist, yesterday. -
Also, Mr. Westbrook praised the farmers of Clarke and
other counties over the state for their ‘“gallant fight
against the heavy boll weevil infestation and bad wea
ther conditions.” He said the damage could have been
much worse if the farmers had not fought the weevils so
intelligently and completely.
Estimated damage to cotton
over the entire state this year is
$53,550,000, Mr. Westbrook also
estimated that there will be a 34
percent reduction in yields due to
boll weevils. Only years showing
bigger percentage reduction since
he began keeping records on boll
weevil damage are 1921, '22, ’23
when the percentage marks were
45, 44, and 37, respectively.
Dollar Loss :
The highest dollar damage in
Georgia since the records have
been kept was in 1919 when the
total was $81,722,515. Although
damage during several years since
1918 have been higher than this
year’s $53,550,000, this is the high=
est damage total in over 20 years.
Since 1916 the average percentage
reduction in yield due to boll wee
vils is 16.5 percent and average
dollar damage is $24,343,289. To
tal damage during the 1916-'49
period is $827,671,825. »
Excessive rain weshed poison off
the cotton and there was much
early cotton this year, which be
came infested with boll weevils
before farmers began applying
poison. It paid off for farmers to
begin poisoning early and to con
tinue it, Mr. Westbrook said.
~ Destroy Stalks
The cotton specialist advises
farmers to destroy the cotton
stalks just as soon as possible in
~rder to kill the boll weevils. Mr,
‘Westbrook said any method of de~
stroying the stalks is all right. If
the stalks are allowed to remain
up, especially if they are green,
the weevils will live off of them;
then go into hibernation later this
winter and infest the fields next
Spring. |
Estimated yield thig year is 196
pounds of lint cotton per acre for
the state average. Georgia Crop
Reporting Service bulletin with D.
L. Floyd as agricultural statisti
cian in charge, and Archie Lang
ley, agricultural statistician, re-‘

on production of ’49 cotton for!
Georgia points to a crop of around
595,000 bales (500 pounds gross
weight). This is 20 percent less
than the 745,000 bales of 1948 and‘
is 24 percent under the ten-year
average of 779,000 bales.

New Coal Strike
Seen ‘Unthinkable’
Operators Say Miners Against Dec.
Walkout; Eager And Willing To Work
WASHINGTON, Nov, 12.—(AP)—The coal operators
said today that another strike December 1 is ‘“‘unthink
able.” They counseled John L. Lewis that his own men
are “willing and eager’ to dig coal — and so are a lot of
others.
Speaking up as the months-old deadlock with the
United Mine Workers chief continued, John D. Battie,
executive vice-president of the National Coal Association,
charged that Lewis is “destroying the markets for coal,
thereby destroying their jobs.” atiobe :
Lewis has not been willing to
consider operators’ proposals, and
he has not presented any basis on
which the industry could operate,
Battle contended. |
“Recent events furnish abun
dant evidence that the men are
willing and eager to work at what
they know are the highest wage
rates of any workers in America,”
the statement said.
Quoting Lewis as saying he
knows of no one who wants to be
a coal miner except those now
mining coal, Battle said this shows
ignorance of conditions in the coal
fields and added: |
“The truth is that there are &
large number of men today on the
waiting lists at the coal mines
seeking employment.”
“It is unthinkable,” Battle said,
“that John Lewis will attempt to
merit for the outstanding im
provement to her living room
during the contest, which is
sponsored by Rich’s, Inc.
Winning the district prize in
that contest was Mrs. Frank
Downs, Oconee county, who re
ceived SIOO from Rich’s. Sharing
honors with her, Mrs. Henry T.
Gordon, Jasper county, district
kitchen imrprovement contest win

which ran for four nights, Monday
through Thursday.
One of the largest Armistice Day

’another coal strike Dec. 1 as he
‘has threatened to do.” Lewis call
ed a three-week breather in the
walkout last Wednesday.
The overnight puncture of the
Big Steel strike gave no hint of
bringing peace in the coal tieup. ‘
No Effect
Neither government nor indus
try officials believed it would have
much effect on the deadlock.
Operators and federal labor ad-l
visers asserted they are not ex-1
peciing U. 8. Steel Corporation or
other steel interests to take the
lead in trying for a contract with
Lewis. The steel companies have
large mine heoldings for their own
use closed by the coal strike.
The coal operators say Lewis has
tried to convince them that he’s
not concerned with what happens
in CIO President Philip Murray's
steel strike.
However, as the steel mills get
back into operation again pres
sures are bound to build up for
coal.
Gov't Slow
Conciliation Director Cyrus S.
Ching and White House advisers
were considering over the week=-
end whether to invoke the Taft-
Hartley Act. But the government
was going slow, waiting to see
whether Lewis could turn up any
thing in New York which would
speed a settlement. Lewis was
keeping quiet about who he was
seeing there,
But it was reported that at least
one important operator was plan=
ning to confer with Lewis here
when the mine leader returns next
week,
That fact may have a bearing
on the government’s apparent de
sire to hold off as long as possible.
Lewis is squeezed into a tight
corner by the operators’ solid
front. Their eontract expired
