New Move To Solve
UN Atom Deadlock
U. N. President Offers Proposals
To Crack Six-Nation Stalemate
By The Associated Press
New efforts to break the East-West deadlock on atomic
contrgl begin at Lake Success today.
Carlos P. Romulo, president of the United Nations
Assembly, interrupted a physical check-up in Washington
to bring a series of proposals to New York.

cording to L. O. Price, president
of Northeast Georgia Livestock
Auction Company.
He also said that most of the
cows and heifers are bred.
These cattle have been tested

SIMPLE RITES
New York
Mayor Weds
I id
n Florida
STUART, Fla., Dec. 20—(AP)—
Mayor William O’Dwyer of New
York, tanned and happy, was
married today to radiant Elizabeth
Sloan Simpson in a simple cere
mony at St. Joseph’s Catholic
Church,
A rainbow arched i 1 the sky as
the couple entered the flower
bedecked wooden church for the
rites. Rainclouds hovered near. the
town.
The Rev. Timothy J. Geary per
formed the ceremony which lasted
eight minutes. >
Both O’Dwyer and his bride
were deeply moved and exchang
ed vows in voices hardly above a
whisper.
O’Dwyer’s voice could not be
heard in the first row as he ans
wered after Father Geary, “I,
William O'Dwyer, take thee, Eliz
abeth Sloan Simpson, for better
or worse, richer or poorer, in sick
ness and in health, until death do
us part.”
Miss Simpson repeated the same
words in a slightly firmer voice.
She stood erect and looked at
the priest as he blessed the ring,
first in Latin, then in English.
Best man David Martin, gen
eral manager of the New York
Athletic éfim, handed the ring to
O'Dwyer. Miss Sim{;son turned
;nd the ring was placed on her
inger.
She smiled dazzingly. They
whispered to each other something
no one could hear. :
No kiss was exchanged inside
ihe church.
The couple, linked arms and
walked glowlv down the aisle,
goddinz to friends and shook
ands with one guest.

However the world had dim
prospects a solution would be
handed down as an unexpected
Christmas present.
A man in Moscow who does not
profess belief in Christianity got
the most presents this pre-Christ
mas week.
Prime Minister Joseph Stalin,
overlord of world Communism, re
ceived tons and tons of presents in
honor of his 70th birthday tomor-
TOW.
There will be more than 1,000,-
000 parcels bearing the tag: “Hap
py birthday, comrade.” The gifts
vary from socks to airplanes.
State Deparument officials in
Washington said today they do not
believe that permission granted an
American priest to conduct serv
ices in Moscow indicates softening
of the Soviet position. :
A passport visa came through
yesterday from the Soviet embassy
for Father Louis Robert Brassard
—lO months after the priest had
requested it. It would permit him
to serve the 116 members of the
American colony in Moscow.
Military equipment of the Uni
ted States, Canada and Britain is
to be standardized. But it may be
five years before the new stand

The standardization program
was announced yesterday. It is to

plies readily usable by the armed
forces of all three nations.

Truman Flies ‘
.
To Washington
KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 20.—
(AP) — President Truman flew
back to Washington today from a
three-week Florida vacation.
He took off from the nearby
Boca Chica Airport at 8:44 a. m.
(EST) on a flight estimated at
{rom three to four hours.
He was in fighting trim—ex
cept for the waistline—to do bat
tle in Congress for his “Fair Deal”
and stump for it in the 1950 con~-
gressional elections.
Tanned, relaxed and cheerful,
he looked in good health in spite
of the “bay window” which ap
parently was of less concern to
him than to his physician, Brig.
General Wallace H. Graham.

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER A CENTURY
The Night Before Christmas
(With Apologies to Clement Clarke Moore)
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the town 3
Frantic crowds of late shoppers rushed up and down,
And Mama in her muffler and I in my coat
Had just loaded ourselves down with all we could tote,
As I backed from the curb and was turning around,
Up-jumped my dear little wife with a bound!
“We've forgotten the postman, and dear Uncle Jim,
And the “vard-man-on-Thursdays”’—we daren’t forget him—'
So I wedged the car in where it had been before,
And we found ourselves back at the counters once more. 3
As I backed out again and was turning around, o
Up jumped my dear little wife with a bound!
“Sit down!” I exclaimed, “we will just give them dimes,
Or dollars or quarters or whatever rhymes!”
So we went home to bed and proceeded to snore,
Our Christmas gift shopping was finished once more, B

LONGEST OF SEASON
Air, Ground Traffic
Crawls In Fog Here
Athens’ longest fog of the season not only stymied air
traffic almost completely for two days, but caused bhuses,
automobiles and even pedestrian traffic to be reduced
almost to a crawl.
U. S. Weather Bureau officials
at Athens Municipal Airport re
ported that the fog began lifting
late this morning and is expected
to clear during the afternoon.
They reported that the fog,
which covered most of the south
eastern states and caused air traf
fic in the area to be -almost com=
pletely stopped, had lifted in At~
lanta and in part of the Carolinas
by noon.
State Patrol Post officials said
no accidents caused by the fog
in Clarke County had been repor
ted to them.
Southern Airways reported that
only one of the four regular flights
through Athens was able to get
through the fog yesterday and
none expected today unless the
fog cleared considerably.
This morning Southern Airways
reported a ceiling of zero, only
one-sixteenth of a mile visibility,
light drizzle, fog, and almost im-=-
possible to get any planes in. Of
ficials said the fog was practical
ly universal over states in this
area including Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee, the Caro
linas, some parts of Louisiana, and
surrrounding territory.

Personal papers showed Lt.

Stalin Birthday -
Set Wednesday
LONDON, Dec. 20—¢AP)~—The
greatest giveaway jackpot pro
gram in history is on today, with
Russia’s Joseph Stalin on the re
ceiving end.
Stalin, overlord of world Com
munism, hits the jackpot tomorrow
when he reaches the age of 70.
How much the take in birthday
presents is worth is anybody’s
guess. Tons and tons of gifts — so
many that not in centuries could
one man use them up—have de
scended on Moscow from the
Communist world. & 4
Reports reaching London
through the Soviet Monitor and
other channels indicate that there
will be more than 1,000,000 par
cels bearing the tag: “Hapgy Birth
day Dear Comrade.”
"Besides, there will be a verita
ble floo of big crates containing
the more unwieldly gifts — all the
way from motoreycles to air

Insect Team Picked
BY FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Reporter
BIRMINGHAM, Ala,, Dec, 20.—(AP)—The grasssho
per is the outstanding player on the 1949 “nastiest” Al
American team of destructive insects.
This rating was given today by Dr, F, C. Bishopp of th&
U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Entomolo
and Plant Quarantine, here to attend an insect-co
meeting sponsored by the National Cotton Council.
He also listed the other top ten
members of a bug eleven that
damaged the nation’s crops in
much the same way that Notre
Dame and the professional Phil
adelphia Eagles gave the busi- |
ness to their foes. |
Bishopp offered the list in re
sponse to the query of a reportorl
who figured that virtually every
one except insects had gotten In-|
to the act on the outstanding thll-|
and-that for 1549. i
Here's the lineup of the year’s
nastiest bugs from the stand
point of economic damage -— al=

in the exact order of importance
because Bishopp didn’t have his

uel’ Murder
JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 20—(AP)
-—Ronnie Pitts, described by the
prosecution as a debaucher with a
criminal mind, was convicted last
night of murdering the father of
his teen-age schoolmate sweet=
heart.
The jury recommended that the
18-year-old youth be sentenced to
life imprisonment for the slaying
of Perry Henderson, vacuum
cleaner executive and father of his
sweetheart Anna. Mississippi law
requires that the trial judge be
guided by the jury’s recommenda=
tion in pronouncing formal sen
tence.
The state had sought the death
penaity.
The youth told a lurid tale of
illicit relations with his young
sweetheart. He showed no emo
tion when the verdict was read.
Neither Anna nor her mother were
present.
Henderson, shot in the head,
was found dead in the dining room
of his home June 25. Ronnie
testified he shot the man in a
pistol duel in which Henderson
