IDLE RANKS
SWELLED BY
RAIL STRIKE
Rail Workers Being
Laid Off Along With
Coal, Steel Workers
CHICAGO, May 12 — (AP) —
More thousands of railroad work=
ors joined the ranks of the idle to
day—laid - off by the deadlocked
firemen’s strike against four major
carriers. - Wi
Workers in many other key in
dustries also were getting layoff
notices and others were threatened
with forced idleness. The three
day-old strike by 18,000 firemen
appeared to have made idle nearly
200,000 workers already, including
some 150,000 rail employes.
There wasn’t a sign of peace in
the nation’s biggest rail strike
since May, 1946.
There was, however, the first
flareup of violence on some of the
strikebound lines. ;
Shortly after two freight trains
were reported ambushed and fired
upon near Knoxville, Tenn., the
Southern Railway Lines suspended
all operations in the area. A
spokesman said the move was
made to protect the road’s em
ployes. An acting fireman on one
train was shot in the arm. Pickets
outside the Knoxville switch yards
denied they fired any shots, but
said they were stoned.
Minor Rifts
There were other minor distur
bances on the strikebound New
York Central Lines in two Indiana
The Southern, The New York
Central and a thrid struck carrier
- ihe Santa Fe—are operating on-
Iy emergency skeleton service. The
Pennsylvania, struck west and
north of Harrisburg, is not operat
ing in the strikebound area.
With operations drastically cur
tailed, the Pennsylvania issued
lavoff slips to 85,000 employes.
The New York Central, which said
25,000 already are idle, planned to
furlough another 25,000 over the
week-end.
Southern Railway estimated
18,000 of its workers have been
forced into idlelness by the strike.
The Santa Fe furloughed several
thousand, as it closed its shops, but
it did not announce the number of
idle.
Modified Demand
The railroadr-qg!l’\'rmned to
accept what the rail union deserib
ed as a modified demand of its
original proposal. The Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen struck to enforce its
demand for a second fireman on
multiple unit Diesel locomotives.
The carriers rejected the demand.
as did two presidential fact-find
ing boards.
| Gunmen Stage
415,000 Holdup
THOMPSONVILLE, Conn., May
12—(AP)—Four gunmen, their
faces hidden behind gas masks,
foday slugged and robbed three
Brink’s guards of $15,000 in the
pay room of the Bigelow-Sanford
Carpet factory.
The four men, all believed arm
ed with shotguns, apparently es
<aped in an automobile after they
tied the guards.
The guards were so badly beat
€n on the head and face they had
10 be taken to the Mercy Hospital
in nearby Springfield, Mass., for
treatment.
The holdup men were at first
believed to be trapped in the
plant but a minute search of all
corners of the building failed to
reveal trace of them.

(Club) will be closed Friday and
Saturday nights because of the
number of houseparties and other
€ntertainments taking place this

ATHENS, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1950.
"NoChanceOf Sharing
A -Bomb, ---Congress
Of “Arming” Aflantic Allies
WASHINGTON, May 12.—(AP)—Talk of sharing the
atomic bomb with America’s North Atlantic Allies brought
this hot reaction from Congress: not a chance!
Among the men who would have to pass a law permit
ting such a move, there was consternation at the mere
knowledge that the subject has been discussed by military
officials in a preliminary ‘way, even without approaching
decisions or recommendation
Senators and House members,
Democrats and Republicans, cried
out against letting any a-bombs
get out of American hands.
The lone voice in support of.
sharing was that of Chairman
Vinson (D-Ga.) of the House
Armed Services Committee—and
he put in an “if.” Vinson Said:
“Our Allies should h ave all
equipment necessary to be in a
position to undertake a worth=
while defense against any aggres=
sor. If it is necessary for them to
have the a-bomb, they should
have it.”
Of course, a lot of minds could
change if we seemed to be getting
definitely closer to war. But for
the time being there obviously is
no possibility that the lawmakers
would consent to arming our cold
war partners with atomic wea
pons.
Key members of the Congres
sional Atomic, Foreign Affairs and
Armed Services Committee said
in interviews that they are against
it.
For that matter, some of the
military experts in the pentagon
are against it, on grounds a-bombs
would be safer in American hands,
with less chance for information
leaks or for U. S. atomic wea-
Moise Services
Here Saturday -
Mrs. E. Warrgrx: Moise, the for~
mer Miss Marion Gerdine, mém
ber of a prominent Athens family,
died in Atlanta yesterday after
being in failing health for some
time.
Services will be conducted at
the graveside in Oconee Hill cem
etery Saturday morning at 11
o’clock by Dr. E. L. Hill, pastor
emeritus of First Presbyterian
church, following earlier services
in Atlanta.
Mrs. Moise is survived by her
husband, a prominent Atlanta at
torney; daughter, Mrs. John C.
Bierwirth, Long Island, N. Y.; two
sisters, Miss Mary Gerdine and
Mrs. Edgeworth Lamkin, both of
Athens; and two brothers, Dr.
Linton Gerdine, Athens, and Dr.
John Gerdine of Jersey, Ga.;
grandson, John Bierwirth, Long
Island; and a nephew, Thomas
Gerdine, Athens.
OFFICES CLOSE
City-County Health Commis
sionex today said the Board of
Health offices in City Hall will
close tomorrow morning at ten
o’clock, instead of the customary
noon hour, for the funeral at
eleven of Mrs. Warren Moise,
sister of Dr. Linton Gerdine,
president of the Board of Health.
Mrs. Moise was a native of Ath+
ens, the daughter of the late Dr.
and Mrs. John Gerdine, of this
city. Her father was for many
years the outstanding physician in
this section and a leading figure
in state medical circles. Her
mother was one of the city’s most
beloved women and a leader in
women’s clubs and activities.
Mrs. Moise attended local
schools and Lucy Cobb Institute
and was married to Mr. Moise,
who was a brilliant student at the
University and a Rhodes Scholar,
in 1914.
She was a woman of delicate
beauty and great personal charm
and was one of Athens’ most pop
ular young ladies. During her life
here she formed many lasting
friendships that were broken only
by her death. News of her pass
ing cast a pall of sadness over the
many who knew her and loved her
greatly.

But on the other side is the ar
gument that it might be quicker
and cheaper to arm the Allies
with a-bombs, and planes to carry
them, than to equip ground troops,
or naval or air forces, with tanks,
guns, ordinary bombs and other
conventional weapons.
Rep. Elston (R-Ohio), a mem
ber of the Senate-House Atomic
Committee, said he sees “no great
urgency about getting a-bombs
overseas, because we can get them
there quickly any time. Bu’ if the
military authorities think there
should be some there, I would go
along with it, provided there is
complete control by our own arm
ed forces.”
Greater Powers For Western
Germany Studied By Big Three
Foreign Ministers Ponder Easing
Up On Occupational Restrictions °
By The Associated Press
The Big Three Foreign Ministers at their London con
ference today discussed plans to give the West German
government fuller powers.
The Foreign Ministers of the United States, Britain and
France considered easing occupation restrictions on Ger
many during a discussion of their overall problem—how to
bolster Western defenses against the threat of Communist
expansion. : on i L e s
The plan, presented by Ameri
can and British delegations, would
give the Bonn government full
diplomatic voice abroad. It would
give the Germans power to issue
exit visas and control their cus
toms.
The plan also-would unfreeze
important internal controls in

e JTOWEVEL; tB &
Allied High Commissioner would
retain the power to veto legisla
tion conflicting with international
aims of the occupation.
The French delegation was less
inclined to relax these controls.
The conference is considering
France’s proposal for merging
French and German potential, The
sweeping French plan calls for
pooling of French and German
steel and coal resources, Eventu
ally it might put all of Western
Europe’s heavy industries under
an international authority.
It was expected the German
problems would occupy the For

The conference is scheduled to
conclude tomorrow.

DARING ADVENTURE
4 Men Try To Turn
Fire In Everglades
MIAMI, Fla., May 12.— (AP) —Four men were deep in
the Everglades National Park today waging a hand-to
hand battle against a fire that has defied scores of men
and heavy equipment for four days.
A veteran “Glades car,” Nolan Popehager of Coconut
Grove, led three other volunteers in an attempt to get in
front of the fire during the pre-dawn lull in the wind.
Carnation Sale
Set Saturday
Final plans have been completed
for the annual sale Saturday of
Memorial Carnations by the Col.
Oscar J. Brown Auxiliary, United
Spanish War Veterans, Mrs. Eliza
beth Williams, president of the
organization announced today.
Mrs. Mildred V. Rhodes is chair
man of the sale and she will be as
sisted by members of the Auxili
ary and other volunteer workers.
All receipts from the sale will be
used for welfare work in the com
munity.
“The carnation was adopted
many years ago as the official
flower of the United Spanish War
Veterans and its Auxiliary. Those
who can remember back to the
days of the Spanish-American War
will recall that dur war President
William McKinley was seldom
seen without a deep pink carnation
on the lapel of his coat. The sol
diers who served under him are
making immortal the flower he
loved so well,” Mrs. Williams said.
“The Col. Oscar J. Brown Aux
iliary for years has sold pink paper
carnations, replicas of our mar
tyred president’s favorite flower

‘PALEFACE’
NAMED PIGEON
RACE WINNER
“Paleface” foday is the state
wide homing pigeon race winner
in the Armed Forces Week pre
liminary held this past Wednes
day.
This pigeon flew from Way
cross to Atlanta in six hours and
thirty minutes. When final tab
ulations were made in Atlanta
late yestérday—considering dis
tance and time—*“Paleface” was
declared winner. Pigeons from
various points throughout the
state flew in the race, making it
necessary to determine the win
ner by eomparative time and
distance.
Of the seven pigeons from
Athens “Boots” won in one hour
and 49 minutes.
Chief Ranger Earl Semingsen
said Popenhager’s plan was to turn
the blaze from its present course
toward the game refuge at the
headwaters of the Shark river by
using. “swatters” and back-pack
fire extinguishers.
The fire has blackened 30 square
miles of a high pine ridge called
Long Pine Key near the center of
the park.
“We've been fighting it frrom
both sides,” Semingsen explained.
“It’s been too hot to get in front
with the wind blowing the flames
right at you.”
He said Popenhager was a mem
ber of a group called the “Glades
Cats.” They eamp and travel the
Everglades not to kill everything
in sight but because they love the
natural beauty.
He said he did not know the
names of the other three volun
teers. ‘
The men used a “glades buggy,”
a specially equipped truck with
oversized tires—in their attempt
to get ahead of the fire and turn
it.
Meanwhile more than 150 men
still were fizhting other fires in
the Everglades.
A blaze that has been burning
along the South side of the Tam
iami trail since Saturday broke out
again yesterday within a mile of
the park’s northern borders.
A muck and sawgrass fire in
Broward county was burning along
a 10-mile front, with’ games wan
dering helplessly about on the
fringes of the flames. .

Head For Chicage
And Political Show
By The Associated Press
President Truman, still swap
ping political blows with his eri«
tics in Congress, headed through
Montana today on the hemeward
leg of his sales trip for the “Fair
Deal” program.
During a morning stop at Butte,
the President said he will not
“cease to fight” for repeal of the
Taft-Hartley Labor Law. He said
it “hangs over the head of laber,
threatening to destroy the gains of
15 years.”
“I believe profoundly that the
Taft-Hartley Act is a substantial
infringement of the basic freedom
to bargain collectively,” Mr. Tru
man added in an address prepared
for delivery from the rear plat
form of his special train.
He added that the act, subject of
bitter congressional battles; must
be replaced with “a law that is
fair to management and labor
alike.”
Mr. Truman also strugk out
again at the critics of his “Fair
Deal” program who have raised
the cry of “creeping socialism.”
“The truth,” the President said,
“is that government actiom during
the last 16 years has been the sal
vafjon of private business im the
country and has strengthemed the
private enterprise system against
socialism, communism apd all
other ’isms.””
The President went out of his
way, in a speech yesterday ati Spa~
kane, Wash., to say that his sup
port of Civil Rights tgrop’oa* isn’t
intended to hurt their Seuthern
opponents.
