McCarthy Again
Calls For Firing
0f Sec. Acheson
MILWAUKEE, June 9—(AP)—
Senator McCarthy (R.-Wis.)
loosed a bitter new blast at Sec
retary of State Dean Acheson to
day and demanded again that
Acheson be fired immediately.
Referring to him as “the Red
Dean of Fashion,” McCarthy de
clared that Acheson had “worked
on the team of world strategy to
create a Red China and a Red Po
jand” and “should be removed
from the high command of our
foreign policy at once.”
McCarthy spoke out in a speech
prepared as the keynote address of
the Wisconsin Republican® State
Convention.
Acheson, he said, is at the fore
front of what he called the Truman
administration’s policy of “war
mongering abroad while it permits
the enemy within our gates to
operate with impunity.”
“You can condemn Communism
in general terms,” the Wisconsin
Senator declared, “in the Acheson
manner with a lace handkerchief,
2 silk glove and a Harvard accent,
it you please. @ _
“But you can’t fight Communists
in that ¥ashion. I know of not one
single reason why Communists
should be handled with kid gloves.
They don’t use kid gloves or pow
der-puffs on us.”
McCarthy devoted a large part
of his gpeech to criticism of a SBO,~
000,000 American loan to €Com
munist Poland in 1946, at a time
when Acheson’s former law firm
was handling Poland’s business in
this sountry. Acheson was then
Undersecretary of State.
Talmadge Makes
Labor Vofe Bid
By The Associated Press
Georgia’s labor vote, though not
as powerful as the farm vote,
means a lot to a candidate for Gov
ernor. Gov. Herman Talmadge
made & bid to win labor’s backing
last night, and almost simul
taneously was endorsed by one of
the state’s top labor leaders.
The Governor, in a speech at
Waycross, described himself as a
friend of labor and pledged his
administration to “work vigorous-
Iy tg bring more job opportuni
{ies. 5
A little earlier, in a radio talk
from Atlanta, Henry Chandler,
secretary of the Georgia Federa
tion of Labor, lauded Talmadge
for “casting his lot with the farm=-
ers and working people of this
state.”” He predicted “the workers
of this state will back him in the
primary.”
Former Gov. M, E. Thompson,
meanwhile, was tearing through
Northeast Georgia with charges
that Talmadge is padding state
payrolls and breaking promises.
He gsaid Talmadge promised
during the 1948 campaign that if
elected he would trim state pay
rolls by 2,500 employes. Instead,
Thompson charged, the Governor
has added 2,000 employes,
In the U, S. Senate race, Alex
McLennan, hoping to unseat vet
eran Senator Walter George, ac
cused George of “selling the people
down the river.”
He said George fought the wage
and hour law and a bill to provide
for conseription of industry when
World War II was imminent. He
labeled the senator “an expert in
placing tax evasion loopholes in
the revenue laws for a group of
corporations.”

NEW YORK, June 9—(AP)—A

‘ The Central Executive commit
tee of the party announced this
today at Taipei, Formosa, as ru
‘mors spread the Red Chinese time
table calls for invasion in early
July. 4
~ Official Nationalist dispatches
said a heavy movement of Com
munist troops from central and
South China toward embarkation
points on the east coast has been
reported by their mainland intel
ligence. o
As Formosa was battered down
against expected Red air raids, the
Kuomingtang (the ruling party)
said Soong, a former [oreign min
ister, chose to resign rather than
join his sister and Chiang Kai
shek, who have pledged them
selves to die in defending their
last stronghold.
Soong left China when the Red
forces threatened Nanking and the
Nationalist government fled to
Canton late in 1948. He said he
was ill and needed medical at
tention. So far as is known he
ignored frantic requests from the
Nationalists for financial assis
tance. His huge fortune is deposi
ed widely in world banks. Soong
was last reported in New York
with his brother-in-law, H. H.
Kung, banker.
Thus, as Nationalist China faces
its blackest hour, the Soong fami
ly, which has so long dominated it,
is widely separated — with the
former foreign minister taking
refuge in the ~western world,
Madame Chiang standing beside
her husband on Formosa, and her
sister, Madame Sun Yat-Sen,
widow of the founder of the re
public, in the camp of the Com
munists in Peiping. P

Not To Beat Prisoners
ATLANTA, June 9. — (AP) — Camp wardens in the
Georgia penal system have been instructed anew not to
allow the beating of prisoners.

ferred to prison instead of being
kept in camps.

Five Die As -
Flames Raze
Passenger Train
BEATTOCK, Scotland, June 9—
(AP)—Five passengers perished
in flames that raced through three
coaches of a speeding Birming
ham-Glasgow express last night,
Several other passengers were in
jured in the blaze.
When the flaming train—the
Midland Scot—-finally was flagged
to a halt near this village, 60 miles
southeast of Glasgow, the {first.
three cars continued to burn down
to the steel framework. Screaming
passengers milled through the
smoke-filled corridors and jumped
to safety as the train slowed down.
The dead—a man, two women
and two children were found in a
compartment in the first coach be
hind the engine, Their bodies were
so badly burned that immediate
identification was impossible.
Witnesses said air currents sent
the flames whipping through the
corridors as the blazing train roar=
ed through the night—its engineer
unaware of the disaster aboard.
British railroad cars are divided
into small compartments connected
by a narrow passageway.
Adam Moffatt, a track worker,
spotted the flaming coaches as the
train sped towards Beattock and
flagged it to a halt.
§ Are Amazed
_ They expressed amazement that
the mill could manufacture and
11 cloth at the price it does, say
ing that in Germany they could
not even manufacture the cloth
r the price it is sold here. They
‘could not understand how the mill
can sell the cloth for the price it
gets and still pay the high salary
scale to its employes. They point
ed out that the salary scale for
textile workers in their country is
only a fraction of what it is here.
The visitors said that practical
1y all of the textile machinery in
Germany is obsolete and suffers
many breakdowns. They further
fi:inted out that their mills do not
ve the many safety devices and
training courses they found at the
Jocal manufactory and were fur
&:r amazed when they found out
Athens concern carries sick
ness, health and hospitalization in
surance for its employes. Such a
thing is unheard of in Germany,
they said. ”
‘They were also greatly im
ptessed by the production expan
sion training course whereby em
ployes, through becoming more ef
ficient, make more money- than
would unskilled employes.
: Keenly Interested 7
One of the main points of in
terest to them was the air-cooling
and air-washing system at the
plant by which all air is changed
every minute or so, cooled and
cleansed by a controlled “rain
storm” which rempves all dust and
particles from it, at the same time
reducing the room temperature,
and they readily recognized that
this system keepe the- employes
more alert and reduces fatigue
which helps keep down possible
accidents. They also praised the
lighting system in the plant.
At the conclusion of their in
spection trip through the plant,
they expressed their appreciation
to General Manager D. D. Quil
lian for the mill’s courtesy and
highly complimented the company

WAR VET DRIVES
§-Limb Amputeg,
Bride Leave
On Honeymoon
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.,, June 9
—(AP) — Quadruple amputee
Jimmy Wilson, a radiant bride at
his side, drove his auto toward a
Canadian honeymoon today.
The 25-year-old ex-army ser
geant who lost his hands and feet
in a wartime bomber crash was
wed last night to Dorothy Morten
son, his classroom sweeheart,
After a brief reception they
headed for Canada with Wilson
at the wheel. Afterward, they will
go to Boulder, C 010.,, where the
bridegroom will enter the Univer
sity of Colorado law college.
Too Warm
Florida’s climate is a bit too
warm for a man with artifieial
limbs, he says.
The twilight ceremony was a
gay affair with no overtones of
‘the tragedy that crip%led ‘Wilson
six years ago when his bomber
smashed into a Vermont Moun
thhpuide; - 7 ATas ¥
The nuptial pair, smiling broad
-Iy, dispelled any tension or eon
cern among the 300 guests.
Wilson walked to the altar with
steady tread. 'mg stood close as
the Rev. W. R. Stevenson, Con
greg:itionalist minister, spoke the
ritual.
After both spoke “I Will” in
firm voices,- Wilson with his sll
vered hook-hand received the ring
from his best man and deftly plac~
ed it on the finger of his 23-year
old bridé. Then they kissed.
ST SR e
It was the end of an uphill fight
for Wilson. After his new limbs
were fitted, he learned to write in
longhand, use a typewriter, comb
his hair, shave, drive a car, At
Jacksonville Junior College he met
Miss Mortenson who encour%gefl
him to see it through for a Uni
versity diploma. He got it Monday
— a BA degree in pre-law from
the University of Florida.
For the bride it was the end of
a dream which began when she
and Wilson met. She vowed then
e could overcome all handicaps.
After leaving school, she became
an insurance company secretary
and a partime television model.
She indicated she has no aspira
tion for a career; she only wants
to see Jimmy bécome one of the
best lawyers in the west.

Won't Be Ready For Major War
Unfil 'sl: Congress Hears Hoover
BY JOSEPH C. GOODWIN i
WASHINGTON, June 9. — (AP) — American '
might won’t be sufficient to fight a major war even
July, 1951, and there are more subversive activities in
U. S. today than at any time during the last world )
Those two bold details stand out
in pictures, sketched for Congress
by the nation’s number one mili
tary man, Gen. Omar N. Bradley,
and its number one investigating
officer, F. B, I, Director J. Edgar
Hoover.
There were brighter lines, how=
ever, in Gen. Bradley’s testimony
before the Senate Appropriations
Committee. The chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff declared that
he feels the U. 8. “is on the way
to attaining the necessary forces to
prevent a disastrous attack from
crippling this nation.”
“T also believe that our forces in
being and our mobilization base
will be sufficient, together with
the forces and potential of friendly
nations, to win a war if it comes,”
Bradley added.
Commaunists Underground
Declaring that U, 8. Communists
are going underground, Hoover
said that “Communism today is at
a greater height in the United
States than either Nazism or Fas
2iem was” during World War 11.
What’s more, he added, it is cen
tered in strategic areas and strate
gic industries where Communists
“would be able to sabotage essen
tial industry in vital defense areas
in the event of a national emer
‘ency_»
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and the FBI director tes~
tified separately before secret ses
sions of a Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee ltudying legislation
to finance government e%::rtments
during the fiscal year beginning
July 1. Their testimony was made
public by the committee last night.

Crime—Senate crime Investiga
tors are compiling a master file of
every known and suspected btf

of crime, gambling and narcotics
traffic.
Chairman Kefauver (D.-Tenn)
said a special committee is build
ing up a cross-indexed. file which
gradually is piecing together a pic~

list of this kind ever charted by a
