'ATHENS BANNER-HERALD

Gov. Herman Talmadge’s lead
ers in the House slapped down this
motion and that doomed a repeal
bill. The vote was 83 to act on the
bill now, with 59 members op
posed. It would have taken 103
favorable votes to pass the mo-
The cigarette pricing measure
stirred a controversy after it was
enacted last year, when citizens
discovered a “sleeper” provision
which raised prices.
The bill was passed in 1949 as a
“fair trades” act. It fixes a min
imum markup for cigarette whole
sale and retail dealers.
The Senate, meanwhile, passed
a House-approved bill creating a
state commission to lease*air and
underground rights of the state
owned Western and Atlantic Rail
road property.
In a previous vote, the Senate
failed to pass the measure after
charges that it was designed most
ly to benefit a single Atlanta real
estate operator who wants to erect
an office building over the rail
road property.
Apparently with this in mind,
the Senate amended the bill to
provide that any leases be ad
vertised for 60 days and granted
to the highest bidder.
In a move to save time, the up
per house voted to limit debate on
any matter to 20 minutes for each
side, and limit each speaker to
five minutes.
With only a few hours of the
session remaining, the Senate had
more than 40 bills before it. The
House had less than a dozen.
A watered-down bill to repeal
19 minor almost-forgotten nui
sance taxes was not on the Senate
calendar, which means the pro
posal is lost for this session.
A move was underway in both
chambers to rescind a 1 p. m. ad
journment adopted last week, and
to remain in session until 4 v. m.
or later.
The House approved a Senate
amendment adding an additional
SIIO,OOO to a bill which already
boosted Revenue Department ap
propriations by $200,000.
The total of $310,000 is designed
to finance an automobile title law
and help the Revenue Department
crack down on tax evaders.
On tap in the House were bills
to provide a statewide juvenile
court system, a turnpike authority
to build super toll roads through
out the state, and a hike in the
state speed limit from 55 to 65
miles per hour.
The Senate calendar included an
additional $200,000 appropriation
for prisons, $150,000 for farmers’
‘markets, and $25,000 for a state
park in Cobb county at the site of
a sub-dam of the Allatoona reser
voir.

Family
Perishes
In Wreck
By The Associated Press
A family of four died in the
flaming wreckage of two trucks
and a car yesterday (Sunday)
near Savannah.
‘A collision near Columbus took
the lives of an elderly doctor and
his wife, and a negro died near
Jeffersonville, bringing the week=-
end toll on Georgia highways to
seven,
Victims of the Savannah crash
were Elmer Yaw, 38, Savannah
tourist court worker; his 36-
year-old wife, their daughter,
Helen, 14, and son, Jennie, 12,

Bob Crowder said a huge produce
truck, swerving in an unsuccess=
ful effort to miss an auto top

Yaws’ and burst into flames.
Crowder said Rogers S. Bar
ham of Raleigh, N. C.,, driver of
the big truck, was pulled fronr
his battered cab by. A. Patton,
deep sea diver of New York City.
Barham, injured seriously, was
taken to a Savannah hospital.
The driver of the car, George
Graham of Savannah, was drag
ged from his machine by an un
identified companion of Patton.
He suffered head injuries.
Helpless bystanders watched
the Yaw family burn to death in
the roaring flames of the three
vehicle pile-up shortly after
midnight about three miles south
of Savannah.
No Screams
“It was horrible,” Hugh Coburn
of Radio Station WDAR, Savan
nah, related. “By some freak of
chance Yaw was thrown to the
top of the heap. His legs were
pinned in the wreckage, but the
upper part of his body was free.
You could see his head and arms
twitching and jerking among the
flames.
“But they all must have been
killed instantly or at least knock
ed unconseious. Thank God, there
were no secreams or moans that
could be heard above the crackle
of the blaze.” ;
Officer Crowder said Grahanr's
car failed to stop before entering
the highway and that Barham
lost control of his truck when he
swerved in trying to miss Gra
ham. The heavy truck turned
over, smashing the Yaws’ pickup
truck, and Graham’s car also
piled into the wreckage. All burst
into flames.
Manslaughter Charge
Crowder said Graham was
booked on a charge of involun
tary manslaughter,

away with mutual fear and dis
trust,” Einstein said the present
arms race between the United
States and Russia has developed &
“hysterical character.”
“Every step, he said, “appears
as the unavoidable consequence of
the preceding one. In the end,
there beckons more and more
clearly general annijhilation.”
A “supra-national” body is nec

Coal Strike Continues As
Miners Ignore Lewis, Gov t.
Angry Diggers Stick By
“*No Contract, NoWork"’
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 13.—(AP)—Angry soft coal min
ers continued their nationwide ‘“nc¢ contract, no work”
strike full blast today. They ignored both John L. Lewis’
work order and a Federal Court injunction,
In some areas, lack of official notificiation is delaying a
decision by United Mine Workers locals on obeying their
chieftain’s order to return to the pits “forthwith.”
No mines are operating in the
large bituminous (soft coal) pro
ducing areas except unorganized
or independent union pits and
those covered by new contracts
with the UMW,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, Ohio
and other important coal states all
report the strike is as strong this
week as last.
Determined strikers vow they’ll
stay out until they get.a contract.
Over the week-end, Lewis bow=
ed to the court order and directed
his 372,000 striking miners back to
work. But with telegraph offices
closed on Sundays in many small
mining communitles, several locals
were late in receiving the official
word.
Some idle miners sdid they
aren’t working because this i{s the
day they are celebrating Lewis’
70th birthday. The UMW presi
dent’s anniversary actually was
yesterday.
Dave Fowler, president of UMW
District 21 in Oklahoma and Ar
kansas, looks for a continuation of
the strike dispite Lewis and the
court. He said:
Slave Angle
“Some of the miners feel the
government is trying to make con
victs out of them. The miners
fought for 50 years to get their
union. They don't want it stolen
away from them and be reduced
to slaves.”
In Indiana, where all 8,500 UMW
diggers are idle, President Louis
Austin of UMW District 11 said:
“Apparently the miners are an
gry because they have no eon
tract.” 3 "
Comment from rank and file
diggers showed their attitude to
be one of grim determination.
“The injunction won’t mine coal
and we know it,” said a miner at
the Russellton, Pa., Mine No. Two
of Republic Steel Corporation. He
added: “That Taft-Hartley busi
ness is foolish., No contract no
work.”
Miner Paul Truckley of Curtis
ville, Pa., declared:
“Truman gave the operators an
ace in the hole. They knew Lewis
either had to order us back or
leave us wide open to an injunc
tion. In my opinion, the men are
solidly opposed to going back
without a contract.”
No Contempt
Another digger, at the Wheeling
Steel Corporation’s shaft at Har
marville, said: “Let the operators
dig their own coal.”
The governnient indi¢ated it will
not seek contempt of court cita
tions if all the diggers fail to re-

about an illusion that this country
can achieve security through mili
tary superiority.
He said “it is impossible to
achieve peace as long as every sin
gle action is taken with a possible
future conflict in view,” and he
urged “solemn renunciation of vio
lence.” .
“Such renunciation, however can
only be effective if at the same
time a supra-national hady is set
up,” he added.
“Even a declaration of the na
tions to collaborate loyally in the
realization of such a ‘restricted
world. covenant’ would considera
%W the imminent danger of
port Immediately. An official ex
plained this is because of the time
required to get the back-to-work
orders to the fields.
' An indication of sentiment came
as overnight crews failed to re
port at six mines in West Virginia
and two in Pennsylvania. The
mines employ 6,190 diggers.
While the soft coal strike con
tinued, some 80,000 anthracite
(hard coal) miners continued to
work in Eastern Pennsylvania un
der the three-day work week im
'posed by Lewis on the industry at
large. And about 30,000 miners
covered by new contracts secured
by Lewis with minor soft coal op
erators also were -ready to dig.
The_anthracite miners got time
and one-half pay, though, for fore
going the traditional Lewis anni
versary holiday., The UMW chief
quietly observed his 70th birthday
yesterday but it is a holiday today
under the old anthracite eontract.
The soft coal diggers don’t get
the holiday under their contract.
Last year, however, they observed
it by simply staying at home.

34 Killed, 200 Injured
As Winds Hit 3 States
Tornadoes Strike 20 Times In
Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas
SHREVEPORT, La., Feb. 18, — (AP) — Tornadoes
twisted death-dealing winds through northwestern Louis
iana, east Texas and southern Arkansas over the week
end. Thirty-four persons were reported killed and 200 in
jured.
Twenty-six were believed dead in Louisiana, all in a 40-
mile radius of Shreveport. There were eight known dead
in Texas.
Louisiana’s injured was estimated at 100. So was the
number of persons hurt in Texas. Hundreds of homes and
other buildings were smashed.
The tornadoes—spawned Satur
day when a mass of cold air collid=-
ed with a mass of warm, moist air
—struck at least 20 times in less
than 24 hours.
The number of dead in Texas
and Louisiana had been reported
as high as 42 at one time last night.
But Louisiana State police at
Bossier City scaled this figure
down with a recheck that caught
some duplications.
First to feel the twisters was
lower east Texas. A tornado
smashed Laporte, Tex., and Alvin,
Tex., Saturday afternoon. Another
twister hit later that day at Chapel
BULLETIN
RIPLEY, Tenn.,, Feb. 13 —
(AP)—A roaring tornado cut
through the little farm commun
ity of Hurricane Hill early today
and snuffed out at least nine
lives.
Garner Funeral Home here
identified eight of the dead as
members of the Wilson Carroll
family. It said a negro farm
hand also was killed.
Hill, Bremond.and Baileyville, At
midnight the tempo increased and
with machine-gun rapidity the
twisters struck—at Corley, Groes
beck, Jericho, Fellowship, Haslam,
Gill, Salem, and Hughes Springs,
all in Texas; at Roytown, near
Castor, Sligo, Shreveport, and
Grand Cane, in Louisiana.
The Shreveport Times gave this
breakdown of Louisiana dead: At
Roytown, nine; Slack Air Force
Depot near Shreveport, six: Sligo,
four; Hood’s Quarters, on the out
skirts of Shreveport, two: Shreve
port, one; Grand Cane, four.
3 Women Die
Twisters in Texas killed three
women near the little saw-mill
town of Haslam; an 18-month-old
| boy and his father in a community
southwest of Lufkina, a woman
in the Jericho communitv near
Haslam, an elderly woman at Cor
lay, near Texarkana, and an ex
slave at La Porte,
l Arkansas reported much less

| single tornado. "
! There were few immediate esti
mates of damage, But it was put
at $300.000 in the La Porte-Alvin
area;: $35.000 at Hughes Springs
and $25,000 at Corley. Most points

percent of flight cancellations in
the future due to bad weather.
Upon completion, Broyles said
that ihe beacon would cut the
ceiling to 600 feet with a one
mile radius of visibility,
In explaining the operation of
the beacon, Broyles said that a
plane would pass over the aivport
and pickup the radio beam on a
special receiver. An indicator in
the plane will tell the polit when
he is directly over the field, thus
allowing him to let down safely
without fear of striking some
ground object.
“Once down to 600 feet he will
be able to see the ground and the
runways and will be able to make
a safe landing,” Broyles contin
ued.
The antennae for the beacon
was to be strung this afternoon,
Broyles said, with the county fur
nishing the telephone poles. The
transmitter for the beacon will
be located in the Southern Air
ways station.
The need for the beacon here
was caused by numrerous flight
cancellations because of had wea
ther. During one period last
month, not a single flight was
able to land here for a 72-hour
period because of ground fog.
Installation of the beacon is
expected to be completed by to
morrow. It will be placed in oper
ation as soon as it receives ap-‘
proval by the Civil Aeronautics
Board. |

Administration Takes
New Overall Look At
Foreign Policy Strategy
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13—(AP)
'—The Truman administration was
reported today t 6 be taking & rew,
overall look at American foveign
policy to determine just where the
United States now stands in the
confliet with Russia, .... .. ....
. The study is being made by the
‘National Security Council. This
agency embraces the State Depart
ment, the Defense Department and
other government agencies.
Responsible officials said thas
the aim of the present review
which is the latest il a series of
such studies to keep President
Truman and the cabinet currently
informed of “where we stand,” is
not expected to produce any new
turn in the direction of major for
eign policy.
It may, however, lead to some
answers of questions raised by the
long argument over the projeected
hydrogen bomb," its possible usesg
t and its impact on world affairs.
| Open questions are said to ine
clude: whether the United States is
' more powerful in relation to Rus
sia as the result of the H-bomb
possiblities, how long it mav he
expected to hold any edge it has,
what effect the possible new wea
pon will have on this nation’s stra=
tegic planning:and how the bomb
should be used.
Informed authorities regard the
question of use as one of the meosi
difficult. It involves the determi
nation—that actually may mot be
firmly settled for a long time—of
whether as a matter of high pelicy
the United States sheuld reserve so
devastating a weapon for use in
retaliation only or whether it
should use the H-bomb like any
other weapon as soon as that be
came strategically desirable fol
lowing the start of a war.
The National Security Council
pulls together mainly the thinking
of the State and Defense Depart
ment planners. President Truman
is its chairman. The body has oc
casionally produced a sh&;lm
of interest between Sece y of
Defense Johnson and Secretary of
Stdte Acheson. :
