carefully considered qualifications
of all candidates and reached the
conclusion that “the reelection of
Herman Talmadge, is by far, the
most logical, desirable and advan~
tageous decision by the people.”
“We have reached this decision,
not solely because this newspaper
has always followed the policy of
supporting an incumbent when his
record is reasonably good, but be
cause we believe the young gov
ernor’s achievements, his political
dexterity and his deep interest in
Savannah, Chatham county and
coastal Georgia entitle him to our
consideration and support,” the
editorial stated.
The Morning News endorsed the
late Eugene Talmadge in his last
two campaigns.
The governor shared his radie
time last night with Mrs. William
T. Healey of Atlanta, director of

traditions of the South that have
existed wlthoutt é:erigus attack
until the present day.

By The Associated Press
Until European nations turn so
cialist, the ruling British Labor
Party declared today in a major
policy statement, Britain should
stay out of programs for European
political and economic unity.
The statement rejected the
Schuman plan for pooling Western
European coal and steel resources,
saying: “Such planning will be
worse than useless if it is inspired,
like the cartel of the past, exclu
sively by the desire for private
profit.”
New Policy
The new policy, announced by
‘the party’s National Exem%ive
‘ Committee, made it clear that Bri
itsh Socialists fear mergers with
l Europe may threaten labor’s policy
of full employment and increased
production through government
planning,
The statement said 'European
unity is not an
joverriding end in
itself, It said na
tional sovereign
ty and Britain’s
World News;
Roundup
obligations to her worldwide com
monwealth and empire must come
first. ;
Labor has a shaky hold on the
present Parliament and an elec
tion may be necessary this year or
next. Labor’s newly outlined for
eign policy will play a big part in
that election.
Britain has consistently dragged
her feet in all moves towards
European unity. There was little
enthusiasm in either the Labor
or Conservative press for the
Schuman pool plan. Britain is
staying out of the six-nation talks
on the plan June 20.
Plan Economics
The Labor Party statement de
clared: “Socialists would welcome
a Buropean Economic Union v‘r)!i;ich
was based on international plan
ning for full employment, social
justice and stability. But Interna
tional planning can only operate
on the basis of national planning.
And many European governments
have not yet shown either the will
or the ability to plan their own
economies.”
Elsewhere on the world news
front:
Plane Crash—An airliner carry
ing 50 passengers bound for Paris
from Indochina crashed in the Per
sian Gulf, Air France announced.
First reports said six persons were
saved and five bodies recovered.
The fate of the 39 others was still
in doubt.
China — Communist China’s
leader Mao Tze-tung has made a
major statement of policy calling
for demobilization of Red armies,
land reforms and temporary re
tention of what is left of the capi
talist system in China. The Peip
ing radio, reporting this, said Mao
made the statement before the
Communists’ third annual party
convention in Peiping last week.
Japan — As American defense
chiefs travelled to Tokyo a leading
Japanese newspaper Jipi Shimpo
said Japan should lease bases to
the United States. Secretary of
Defense Louis Johnson and Gen

Flag Day - - Independence Bond Drive
(An Editorial)
Look at them separately and
there seems to be no connection,
but put them down together and
there is a peculiarly close rela
tion,
The items are:
Flag Day will be observed on
Wednesday, June 14.
Athenians are currently parti=-
cipating in a U. S. Treasury De
partment savings bonds “Indepen
dence Drive.”
#® ® %
How are these two related?
Our flag is a symbol of our in=-
dependence, and as we observe
Flag Day we must pause to think
that - our independence can’t be
maintained = without necessary
funds, which are provided to a
large extent, through purchase U.
S. savings bonds. -
Too often we take the freedoms
of the American way of life for
granted.” We must never forget
that America has to be prepared
to cope with present world-wide
problems, This can only be done
through patriotism of American
citizens. We can manifest our
willingness to cooperate by taking
an active part in the Independence
Drive. (oY
When you buy savings bonds
you not only invest in the United
States’ security, but also in your
own security. ’ %
Flag Day is the half-way mark
in the year’s Independence Drive
~—May 15 - July 4—and the June
state sales report showed that
Clarke county had reached only
16.3 per cent of its Independence
E Bonds sales goal. The county’s
goal is $90,000.

Local Swim Program
Opens At Legion Pool
The freckled face kids and the more sophisticated teen
agers have abandoned the old swimming hole in their in
itial stage of kick and crawl, and instead are going down
to the Legion Pool every morning between the hours of
10:30 and 12 noon.
For the third straight year the
Athens Recreation and Parks De
partment, working jointly with the
local chapter of the American Red
Cross, are conducting a course in
how to swim.
200 Turn Out
Yesterday was the first day of
the morning swim classes, and ov
er 200 youths turned out,
The program is being headed by
Miss Frances Sachs. Her assistants
are Gardner Gidley, Frank Eber
hart and Monk Collins. The list of
volunteer workers include Gail
Garner, Barbara Beussee, Jim
Hadaway, Beth Eberhart, Charles
Hammond, Dan Sachs, Crawford
Sachs, Joyce Land, Jean Fulcher,
Melvin Duane, Joyce Turner and
Jackie Harrison.
The minimum and maximum
age limits are as follows: the youth
must have attended the city
schools of Athens for at least one
year (minimum), and must still
be of high school age (maximum).
In order that the utmost in ef
ficiency may be obtained, the class
period each morning is divided be-~
tween the girls and the boys. The
girls swim from 10:30 to 11:15,
and the boys from 11:15 to 12:00.
While one group is swimming, the
other has a recreation period on
the adjacent softball field. Monk
Colling will conduct the outdoor
period for the boys, and Jean Ful
cher will be the leader for the
girls.
Prompt Classes
Officials point out that classes
will start promptly, and that any
late-comers will not be admitted
for that day. Admission for the
summer instructions is one dollar.
However, all swimmers must have
their passes; no daily admissions

will be sold, and no adults may
swim during this period.
Miss Sachs and her staff did a
thorough review of the Red Cross
swim instructing course last week,
and each assisting instructor has
been trained for his particular job.
The students will be divided up
into separate groups, classifying
them to their advancement in the
“know how” of swimming. In
‘answer {o many inquiries, the stu«
dent may enter the class at any
period, and it’s not compulsory for
him or her to attend from the very
beginning, However, it is to the
learnee’s advantage.
Much credit is to be given to
the local chapter of the Red Cross
for their splendid work in this
program. It goes without saying
that to teach our youth how to
swim and protect themselves in
the water is an important phase of
:!leil‘ outdoor and physical educa~
ion.

600 WOMEN
HERE FOR
HD MEETING
Miss Iris Davenport, Woman’'s
Editor of The Southern Agricul
turalist, today challenged 600 wo
men gathered here for the twen
ty-fifth annual Home Demonstra~
tion Week “to scrap past records,
set broader goals, acquire new
methods and new techniques, and
to widen their horizon,”
The home demonstration e¢lub
delegates, who represent some 115
Georgia counties, were to hear
nearly 20 talks and see as many
demonstrations on subject matter
fields relating to homemaking
during their four-day meeting
here on the University of Georgia
campus. : :
Miss Davenport, one of more
than a score of speakers to appear
on the program, is a graduate of
the University of Georgia School
of Home Economics and Columbia
University. She has also studied in
Paris, France, and at Louisiana
State University, She had been
Women’s Editor of the Southern
Agriculturist since 1946.
Discussing the subject, “Aloft
With Homemakers,” Miss Daven
port, who is one of the seven most
distinguished southern women in
the nation, according to a poll of
‘a million southern women, stated
that in 1925 Georgia had 544
home demonstration _lubs with a
membership of 7,607. “Today,” she
said, “the clubs’ numer 1,500
with a membership of 45,000.”
Helping develop the week’s
theme, “Translating Today’s
Knowledge Into Tomorrow’s Se
curity,” the well-known magazine
editor declared that for years, to
some people homemaking meant
cooking, sewing, with sweeping,
dusting, and dishwashing ever
waiting to be done. She added em~
phatically that those thinafi ‘no
more make” for complete home
‘making than hands and feet are
the sum total of a vibrant stimula=-
ting human being.”
Miss Davenport said the home
maker today can better carry her
responsibilities because some of
the weight is being shifted from
her hands and back to her head.
She told women from each of
Georgia’s six Extension Service
districts that “learning and ad
justment in a rapidly changing
world is a necessary daily job for
each of us.” Continuing, she said:
“We must train ourselves to shift
and weigh evidence, discern the
false from the true, the real from
the unreal, fact from fiction.
Wider horizons will be ours if we
try to outdistance -— mot our
neighbors — but ourselves.” |
Racing Called
Legalized Murder
ATLANTA, June 13.—(AP)—
An Atlanta City Council today de~
manded that automobile racing at

R, V. Watterson, Tenth District
Volunteer Savings Bond chair
'man, and Dean Paul Chapman,
county chairman, said although
Georgia and Clarke county are be=-
hind in the Drive they feel sure
both can go over the tocp.
Athenians should be spurred in
to action tomorrow when they see
the flag-decked streets and again
on the arrival of the Liberty Bell
replica.

fit, with a 20-horsepower com
pression motor, and the entire set

men. Both have been turned over
to Jackson county authorities. ‘

BY FRANCIS M. LEMAY
The bill, which would keep alive
the last of the majer warfimc’p
trols, on approximately 8,000,000
dwelling units, gostly in big eities,
would work like this:
Bill Affects
1. The federal rent contrel au
thority, due to expire June 30,
would continue for a year,
2. But the controls would cease
automatically in six months, on
December 31, in all communities
that before that date did mot de
cide affirmatively, through a vote
of the local governing body er a
referendum of the citizens, to con
:tgi(;mxegth' rent ceilings on to June
, 1951,
3. Any community could wvote
itself out from under controls any
time before December 31, No eom=
munity could restore controls after
they were lifted,
House Speaker Rayburn (D~
Tex.) told President Truman he is
confident the House will pass the
bill. The administration had asked
for a straight extension of she
present law, but Banking Come
mittee Chairman Spence (?)-Iy.),
a strong administration supporter,
said the compromise local option
bill “in my opinion is the best we
can get through the House.”
‘ Rep. Wolcott of Michigan, sen=
ior banking committee Republican,
pxredicted the House vote will be
close,
i Ad%xlinistration leaders overrode
‘Republican opposition yesterday to
press the measure through the
Senate. On passage there, 3¢ Dem-~
ocrats were joined by six Repub
licans in support of the bill, Op
posing were 23 Republicans and
five southern Democrats,
Cain Filibuster
The Senate. vote came
Senator Cain (R-Wash.) who
bustered 12 hours against the bi
last week, gave up his right to an
other marathon speech. Rarlier
the senate had rejected, 44 to 25,
a Republican move to send the bill
back to the banking committee.
In the windup of the heated de
bate, Senator Bricker (R~Ohio)
assailed the bill as “an attractive
piece of political bait.” :
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said he
doesn’t believe there is further
need for federal controls. Me said
local communities ought to take
care of controls, if they are need
ed, and he added:
“I don’t know why Congress
should act as a wet nurse for stiies
and cities which won’t act for
themselves.”
Senator Douglas (D-IIL) said
there still is “overcrowding in
hundreds of communities,” partly
as a result of sharp increases in
population,” and added that *“to
take all rent controls off at this
time would mean tremendous in
creases in rents.”
Controls now tough about one
half the 16,000,000 dwellings that
were under rent ceilings in 1548,
The last several rent law exten=
sions have had various provisions
for decontrol through actions by
the federal rent administrator,
state legislatures, and local boards
and governing bodies.
