Kiss me!— (AP Wirephoto,) Arrest of Harry Gold, genior bio--chemist in one of Philadel phia’s largest hospitals for the last two years, was announced in Washington last night by Attorney General McGrath and FBI Direc tor J. Edgar Hoover. A few minutes later in the Phil adelphia chambers of Federal Judge James P. McGranery, the short, pudgy Gold was- given a 15-minute hearing and hustled off to Philadelphia’s - Moyamensing prison in lieu of bail. . Gold’s work at Philadelphia General Hospital was on federally= financed heart research. Judge McGranery set June 12 at 10 a. m. for a further hearing. The time of his arrest was not dis closed. The jurist told Gold during the hastily called hearing that he did not have to speak without benefit of counsel. And Gold spoke only twice. He admitted he was the Gold named in the warrant and requested per mission to telephone a brother in Philadelphia to obtain counsel. Judge McGranery granted the re quest. Later the brother, Joseph, told reporters he had received a call from Harry. Joseph said his older brother had been employed at the Philadelphia General Hospital as a civil service senior bio-chemist. The hospital is staffed by the Municipal Civil Service. In announcing the arrest, Mc- Grath said the charges were based on information supplied by Dr. Fuchs, who was arrested in Febru ary and pleaded guilty March 1. In London two FBI agents ques tianed Dr. Fuchs today for the third time, trying to trace the lines of the Soviets’ atom espionage in America. They had quizzed him first on Saturday and again yes terday. : . An American official described the imprisoned British scientist as (Continued On Page Two) complete record of the 1945 case. He said that includes the docu ments seized in FBI raids, as well as the minutes of a grand jury which considered the case. “We have everything from A to Z, from Alpha to Omega,” Tydings declared. : Armerasia was the name of a Far Eastern affairs magazine, no lon ger published, which had head quarters in New York. After raids five years ago by the FBI and agents of the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), six per sons were arrested on charges of conspiring to get illegal possession of government documents.

Buzzie’s father, Curtis Dal;, sr., of San Antonio, s u RS ms R i Maycr Wells delivered his order to officials of the bus company at noon, after the bus service had been disrupted since early morn ing. The Mayor acted under exe cutive authority of the Mayor in an emergency situation, Mayor Wells said he was in formed by J. C. McClure, presi dent of Athens City Lines, that when the drivers reported for work this morning they were handed a company letter notify ing them that their pay would immediately be cut thirty cents an ‘hour. The buses did not begin op eration this morning. - D. H. Stoddard, company vice president and general manager, and Robert Fitzgerald, president of local 1421 of Amalagamated As sociation of Street Electric Rail way and Motor Coach Operators of America, said early this after-~ ‘noon that the two groups have reached an agreement whereby the bus workers will go back to work this afternoon at the same pay as they left for a 15-day ar bitration period. Mayor Wells has called a meet ing of Mayor and Council for 6:30 p. m., today at which he will re port the action he has taken. The Mayor also announced that early this morning he requested tcl;; %perators (% thte: Co-ig %‘:om. 2 ompan; e ‘ansng‘ M= ympany to put as many cabs as they can spare to cruising bus routes in an effort to give the public emergency transportation service. . S The Mayor’s office received tel ephone calls every few minutes this morning from citizens protest ing the stoppage of bus service, it was said. Mayor Wells’ letter to company officials follows: “Mr. D. H. Stoddard, General Manager Athens City Lines, Inec. Athens, Georgia. “Dear Mr. Stoddard: “It has been brought to my at tention that the bus schedules are not being met and that the people of Athens are without transporta tion service from your bus line, ‘As the Chief Executive of the municipal corporation I am deeply concerned about this failure of service to the people of Athens. I have no official information as to the cause of this discontinuance but I deem the continuation of service -to the people of Athens one of my primary responsibilities “It is greatly desired that bus operation contirfue and the Mayor and Council will be glad to discuss the operation in the same coopera tive spirit which we have accord ed to you in the past, but we can not negotiate with you so long as there is a continued disruption of the bus transportation service. The facts which have come to my at tention unofficially, lead me to the conclusion that the cause of the failure of the busses to operate lies within the management of the Athens City Lines, and that the remedy alse lies within the hands of the management. “I am, therefore, giving you no tice herewith to place the buses back into operation by 6 P. M. to night. If this is not done, I shall appear before the Council at a special emergency meeting which I am calling for 6:30 P. M. and will recommend to the Council that the franchise which you hold from the city corporation has been breached and ask that the fran chise be revoked. “Yours very truly “Jack.R. Wells “Mayor”. The work stoppage indirectly affected a large number of Athen ians, and directly affected about four or five thousand bus riders. - Twenty-seven drivers, mechan ics and helpers were affected by the operation stoppage. The notice posted early this morning at the bus lines’ head quarters stated the workers would be cut 30 cents per hour. At pres ent the highest pay on the grad uated scale is 90 cents per hour, so under the cut the wage would go down to 60 cents per hour. Other workers lower on the scale would get less per hour. In a statement by Athens City Lines officials, Joseph C. McClure, president, and D. H. Stoddard, vice-president and general mana ger, said that the company cannot compete with 15 cents “jitney” cabs. Bus rates at present are 10 cents straight fare, three rides for 25 cents, ten rides for 75 cents, and a special 20 rides for $1 for school children, Company officials issued the following statement early this | morning: S i of the Mayor nor ”3 On Page Two) M e i ee, ettt et G SRR R g:;:{'., iy PN AP %“&i?x&” 82 RN S N SRR R B T s U SR e oo R S R R R ¢ e T SRR SR Q‘&s“w}%’« e B bR D A SRR R el L L ® SR ga*‘i%ﬁ SRt S s - ol AR RN g (EERR GEG R ;\ %R, h ®» o PR R KRR 2 SRR SR B N § R L &AR ’f?@v"\, R R DR e e R R S §§ST e > & ‘.?’-:tﬁ;.gg\gz;i?:*ig-‘» RN P E‘ SR e | },“\g\ Wy s g BSRB¥RN 2 e % b $ Bt e R e W | e &R IR, i ENC NE SRR S PR S e R ik, o Ry X St e ho i SRR RN 3 SR 2 RS o t‘ S ‘ o s v}' F N (‘;’"k\-‘»:n e e B : B e R o B SeLaTE : f: o E b '."» 3AR .o (’ 3!' x.
