"RED” YOUTHS 1
& 2,000 ‘Blue Shirts’
. Beaten By Angry West J
¥ Citizens In Helmstedt
FRANKFURT, Germany, May
91 — (AP) — Violence avoided in
Berlin’s huge Communist Whitsun
rally threatened along West Ger
many’s borders today as more than
10000 pro-Red youths flocked
home from the East. e
At Luebeck police were stoned
as 17,0000 blue-shirted members of
the Communist-led Free German
YVouth (FDJ) refused to take med
ical examinations - ordered by
Western ‘frontier guards.
Two thousand more of their fel-.
I,v travelers from Berlin con
tinued home shirtless from Helm
stedt, far to the southwest, where
irate West Germans last night
pummelled them aqd stripped
them of their blue uniform shirts
after the youth started singing the
Cornmunist Internationale. |
Another 2,000 of the Whitsun
demonstrators were massed just
across the Russian border from
Helmstedt, awaiting transporta
tion. West German police were
alert lest they attempted to seek
revenge for the beating given their
comrades. |
All are enroute to homes in
Western Germany after attending
the Communist-called youth dem
nstrations last Sunday in Red
controlled East Berlin. The Berlin
rallies went off without any vio
l\ nce,
The blue shirts at Luebeck
massed along the roads in the
half-mile-long no man’s land be
tween the borders of the Soviet
and British zones, defiant but or
derly. Police said a few hotheads
threw stones at #West German
border police last night. One po
liceman was injured but order
soon was restored.
No Violence
The erowd was growing, police
said, and one attempt was made
during the night to storm the bord
er across the railroad tracks. The
vouths were turned back without
violence, the police reported.
The police set up loudspeakers
and urged them to take the medi
cal examinations which German
officials of the Schleswig-Holstein
state had ordered to prevent
spread of: disease. The examina
tions, police said, would last less
than an hour. The erowd took up
another chant:
“We will stay here eight days.
We will see what happens then.”
Communists from Luebeck tried
to negotiate with the police to let
the youths cross the border with~
out the examination. When police
pointed out they only were acting
under instructions from the State
Ministry of Interior, the erstwhile
negotiators declared the Western
action was “provocation.”
Transporiaiion Riot
Rioting started last night at
Helmstedt when lack of transport
temporarily stranded the pro-Red
vouths there and sent them toward
restaurants and taverns, singing
their Communist marching song.
Townspeople out in droves re
sponded with Germany’s old an
them, Deutschland Über Alles.

Surprise B
Driver Strik
Hiss Columb
By The Associated Press |
A surprise walkout -0f 485 bus
drivers crippled public transpor
tation in Columbus, 0., today.
There was a chance meanwhile
that a 41 day old transit strike in
Johnstown, Pa., might be ended
today. Three hundred striking
AFL employes of the Johnstown
Traction Company called a session
to ratify or reject a wage settle
ment reached over the holiday
week-end.
The peace plan proposed a five
cents hourly wage boost for work:-
ers now receiving $1.30, with an
other three cents boost after next
January.
The Columbus strike caught the
public unprepared. Mayor James
A. Rhodes announced last night,
after meeting with the union ex
——————— ecutive commit-
Labor tee, that it had
been agreed to
Roundup postpone the
oot L wealicams, Jor two
weeks. The morning newspapers
carried the mayor’s statement,
fyrther bewildéring persons who
waited on the streets for buses to
appear.
The drivers, members of the CIO
’ Transport Workers Union, are pro
testing the suspension of a driver
who reportedly exchanged blows
‘with an irate motorist.
The union said there had been a
misunderstanding of the powers
of the union committee that met
with the mayor.
Other labor developments:
AFL construction workers
swarmed back to work on $250,-
000,000 worth of atomic projects
at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Police
Chief C. T. Vettel said:
“T think it is safe to say a ma
jority of the workers are return
ing.”
The International Hodcarriers
building and labor union voted
yesterday to end their week long
‘wildeat strike. The union acted
| (Continued On Page Two)
- Schuman at once dispaiched a
new memorandum to the London
government, designed to clear up
what officials said was a British
misunderstanding of the original
French invitation.
The French soutces said the new
note emphasized that British en
dorsement of the plan “in princi
ple” would not bind Britain to
approve the results of the future
discussions.
The six countries who have ac
cepted the plan, a French spokes
man said, “have agreed to come
to a meeting with the precon
ceived idea of making a plan

m«fsfmw:ui ‘cam
mon good. ‘We hop that other na-’
were ordered out by Governor Browning
to replace state highway patrolmen at the
right. Before the troopers came, there had
been some acts of violence. — (AP Wire
photo.)
Prosecutors said an effort
would be made to complete the
trial before nightfall.
General MacArthur, himself a
target of the demonstrators’ taunts,
maintained silence. But the speed
with which the court was sum
moned left little doubt the occupa
tion chief was calling signals.
The incident was the first vio
lent outbreak of the occupation
against American troops.
Three of the five U. S. soldiers
attackted by Japanese at the Impe
rial Plaza were knocked to _%,
ground, beaten, kicked and stoned,
the court was told.
Demonstrators locked arms in a
tight cireie around the Americans,
preventing Japanese police from
breaking through to the rescue.
Cpl. Henry K. Yamashita of
Honolulu testified that several
hundred frenzied demonstrators
surged around the American mili
tary observers when he tried to
recover mnotes on anti-American
speeches seized from a Japanese
policeman.
Yamashita said he handed back
the notes to a demonstrator but
the crowd was not appeased. “The
pushing was violent,” Yamashita
said, -
Sgt. Peter W. Koehn of Oklaho
ma City said one demonstrator,
shouted “down with IMacArthur,”
lifted him high in the air. Koehn
tried to force him into a nearby
military police jeep.
“The crowd began to push me,”
Koehn said. “Someone tripped me
and I fell on my back. Four of
five jumped on me. One punched
me on the left arm. Another kick
ed me in the stomach three or four
times. Another hit me in the mouth
with his fist.” FE
Koehn said he was “dazed” by
alrock that struck his right tem
ple.
Capt. William G. Clarke of Bal
timore said he and Sgt. Terry K.
Yamamotto of Wathiawa, Hawalii,
rushed to help but also were
knocked down and kickéed.
Then the ¢rowd broke, “almost
as if by a prearranged’ signal,”
Clarke said. }ie, and the other
Americans walked away without
further trouble.
The Americans said the defend
ants were identified from pictures
taken during the scuffle. Six of the
eight were arrested four hours
later when they trooped into Hi
baya after parading downtown.
Two others were arrested when
lthe crowd demanded their re
ease. .
tions will join in the same effort.”
One authoritative spokesman in
dicated the British would have to
give the requested approval of the
French plan if they wanted to get
in on the talks next month.
“There is absolutely no point in
going ahead with these discussions
unless the delegations are willing
actually to try and work out the
technical details antd put them
into effect,” he said.
In London a British source had
a different version of the original
French proposal. He said Britain
had been asked to agree, in ad
vance of the conference on details,
to pool her coe’ and steel, to sub
mit to an all-powerful internation
al authority controlling these in
dustries, and to agree o further
talks on the basis of these “essen
tial commitments.”
Schuman proposed his plan for
an international authority to ad
minister Europe’s coal and steel
output on May 9. He said the pool
was designed to lower production
costs, equalize cost factors in all
co tél;s, modernize production

Acheson Warns Congress
Of "Dangerous” Situation
" " * .
Asks Large Economic, Financial «
* Etfort To Meef Russian’s Power
WASHINGTON, May 31.— (AP) —Secretary of State
Acheson called on the nation today for “a very large eco
aomi_c and financial effort” to' meet the growing power of
u]si;)s;rl:fi with such an effort, he told Congress, a “dangerous
situation” requires that the military might of the West be
organized into ‘“‘balanced collective forces.”
Acheson appealed to Congress to
support such a course, saying that
President Truman, Secretary of
Defense Johnson and he agree it
is the only way to meet a Russian
threat which “will exist unless we
act now to prepare our defenses
against aggression,” and at the
same time get ahead with the job
of “building a successful function
ing economy in a free world.”
The Secretary of State spoke in
the library of Congress at a meet
ing to which all House and Senate
members were invited. Radio net
works and a television hookup
carried his speech to the nation. ‘
Acheson was reporting on his
recent cold war strategy talks in
London. It was the first time he
had made such a public report on
a foreign ministers’ session or
North Atlantic Treaty meeting.
The treaty foreign ministers, he
disclosed, did not say anything
Se——— ot Toßdoß which
World Newsindicated “any
immediate threat
Roundup of . war.” They
—————were concerned
rather with building sufficient
strength to head off any such
threat.
The creation of “balanced col
lective forces,” he said, would
provide such strength. This would
mean that each of the 12 Atlantic
tfreaty nations would build up
troops and arms to fit the needs
of the whole alliance rather than
strictly for its own defense needs.
Under this system the United
States, officials say, would spend
relatively more on airforce and
navy than on army development.
European countries, like France
Afor -example, - would -put heavier
| emphasis on ground troop organ
ization.
Following the address, congress
men also may question Acheson
' further on- developments at the
'London talks with France and
Britain and the 12-nation North
| Atlantic council.
| They are sure to do this Friday
when the secretary of state is due
to appear before a joint meeting
of the Senate committee on for
eign relations and armed ser
vices.
Aid Program
This hearing was arranged in
advance of the expected submis
sion tomorrow by President Tru
man of a $1,225,000,000 second
year American arms aid program
for the Atlantic pact partners, and
other nations within the scope of
possible Soviet expansion.
The program is a prime state
department project.
A Senate Investigating sub-com
mittee called on Federal Bureau of
Investigation officials today for an
account of the agency’s role in the
five-year-old Amerasia Magazine
case.
Louis B. Nichols, assistant FBI
director, and D. Milton Ladd, as
sistant to FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover, were asked to testify at
a closed-door session. :
Ladd directd FBl_activitie? in
4l -Amersia éase which involved
the alleged theft of hundreds of
classified government documents.
Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) who
revived interest in the case while
defending his charges of Commun
ism-in-government, called on the
investigating group yesterday to
summon the six persons arrested
in the case to testify under oath.
House leaders blamed the Sen
ate today for a legislative pileup
expected to keep Congress in ses
sion after August 1.
They intimated that they don’t
intend to let the Senate’s slow
movement interfere with cam
paign plans of House members, all
of whom, except a few who are
retiring, are seeking reelection
this year.
10,000 BASS RELEASED
Restocking Of G
estocking ame,
Fish Is Begun Here
The first phase of an extensive program to restock Geor
gia’s game and fish resources was carried out in Clarke
county yvesterday, when 10,000 young small mouth bass
were released at Tallassee Shoals for the future pleasure
of fishermen.
Release of the fish was part of
the program of the State Game
and Fish Commission to restock
every running stream in Georgia,
and replenish the state’s game
supply, especially quail and deer.
The program was initiated after
recent hike in cost of fishing and
hunting licenses.
The game and Fish Commission
has promised Clarke county an
other large allotment of fish be
fore the summer is over, includ
ing blue cats and channel cats,
crappie and bream. Part of this
allotment will be released in the.
Oconee river at Mitchell’s bridge,
part in Sandy Creek at Whitehall.
Gubernatorial
Candidafes A
At Midway Mark
By The Associated Press
Georgia's five candidates for
governor hit the midway mark in
their bid for votes today, and cam
paigns appear to be building up
steam.
All five candidates were in ac
tion yestrrday, appealing for bal
lots in tke June 28 primary.
Former Gov., M. E. Thompson,
considered the major threat to
Gov. Herman Talmadge’s bid for
reelection, expressed confidence at
Moultrie that his whistle stop tour
of the state will propel him into
the Governor’s chair.
He confidently noted a “ground
swell all over Georgia” in support
of his candidacy as he marched
through traditional Talmadge ter
ritory of deep Southwest Georgia.
And, as usual, he poured out bit~
ter criticism of Talmadge and the
manner in which he has conducted
the state’s business for the past
two years.
Talmadge, who is making a
much less active stumping cam
paign, spoke at Ellaville, He
reached out for support of the aged
with the assertion that his admin-~
istration “has done more for the
old men and the old women of this
state than any othér administra
tion in history.”
Talmadge attended an anniver
sary program of Woodmen of the
'World at Columbus last night, but
put his political campaign aside for
the occasion.
He was tabbed the state’s next
chief executive, however, by form=
er Gov. E. D. Rivers, long-time
political foe of his father, the late
Eugene Talmadge.
Rivers Support
Rivers, who also attended the
Woodmen ceremonies, said after
the meeting that it “seems evident
Talmadge will be re-elected.”
In introcducing Talmadge for a
brief speech, J. Robert Elliott,
Georgia Democratic National Com=
'mitteeman, declared that the Gov
\ ernor already has “shown his abil
ity, determination and aptitude to
‘ be chief executive.”
Elliott added: “He has shown us
in this county (Muscogee) that he
is our friend.”
C. O. (Fat) Baker of Athens
continued his three-a-day speech
making in Americus, Vienna and
Cordele. He disclaims support
‘from any political faction, declar
ing he is a true “independent”

Holiday . Death Toll
330 Persons Killed On Highways;
Only Four Georgians Lose Lives

The nation today counted a staggering deag“t‘oll wis fan
above 500—from violent accldents over the four-day Me
.i v IRy 4 u«a& »
illions turned to the highways for the 801
outing and traffic fatalities set a new record for Ufig
day. ; :
A country-wide survey showed
547 violent deaths, There were 330
persons killed in traffic accidents;
92 persons drowned and 125
others lost their lives in a wvariety
of violent accidents, These includ
ed airplane crashes, fires, falls, ex
plosions and other mishaps.
Said Ned H. Dearborn, president
of the National Safety Council:
“The nation has by slam-bang
driving and an outstanding de
monstration of mass indifference
to the living while paying respects
to the dead, turned this Memorial
Day holiday into a memeorial day
of massacre.”
The four-day total compared to
last year’s three-day Memorial
Day unofficial figure of 418 vio
lent deaths. Last year’s total in
cluded 253 traffic fatalities, 87
drownings _and 73 killed in mis
cellaneous accidents.
The council said the traffic toll
was a record for Memorial Day
but the previous high was not dis
closed. The violent death toll for
the three-day Memorial Day h?l
--iday in 1948 was 404 and 504 for
a similar period in 1947.
The Council had predicted traf
fic deaths would total 290 ovep
