“The U. S. strategic situation in
the Far East during the recent
months has badly deteriorated
everywhere except in Japan where
General Douglas MacArthur is in
command,” declared Major Gen
eral William C. Chase today in the
featured speech of the 30th an
nual convention of the DAV being
held here today through Sunday.
General Chase expressed the
opinion that, “China is completely
lost, and the Philippines are com=-
ing apart at the seams. We have
lost all our business and we have
completely lost face in the orient,”
he added.
He said that he believed that the
Japanese slogan, ‘“Asia for the
Asiatics,” is coming to pass all
through the Far East. He also
stressed the importance of this
area due to the presence of strate
gic raw materials of tin, rubber,
oil and tungstein located there.
Huiet Speaks
Following the speech by General
Chase was a speech by Ben T.
Huiet, Georga Commissioner of
Liabon s e R
In his speech to the convention
Mr. Huiet briefly outlined the
work of the Employment Security
Agency of the Department of La
bor of Georgia.
“Bi-weekly service is afforded
every county in Georgia through
the thirty-five local employment
offices and 140 itinerant points
under my supervision,” he said.
“In each office we have a vet
eran’s employment representative
trained in all phases of employ
ment security work, and it is his
primary duty to see that all vet
erans are given preferential treat
ment.”
“Each office has thoughly
trained interviewers whose duty is
to register veteran applicants who
apply for jobs. They also have
trained veteran counsellors whose
especial duty it is to council with
and guide disabled veterans who
because of physical incapacities
need to be placed on jobs they can
do without endangering their
health,” he continued.
“We have a number of disabled
veterans in our service, he said,
and I can conscientiously say that
their work compares favorably
with our non-disabled employees,
and in some cases their perform
ance of duties is really outstand

Baker Raps Candidates
Suffering With Throats
By The Associated Press
The self-proclaimed plowboy is
C. O. (Fat) Baker. The pair suf
fering with overworked larynxes
is Gov. Herman Talmadge and M.
E. Thompson. Both had to have
help to get through yesterday’s
appearances, but hoped to be back
in shape for another vocal work
ouf today.
“For the State, The Unjgersity
and The County, Governor Tal
madge Can Do The Most,” is-the
title of today’s principal editorial
in The Banner-Herald, page
four.
Talmadge . spoke before the
Georgia Vocational Association at
Macon this morning and was to
address a gathering at Hawkins
ville tonight. Thompson had three
appearances scheduled—at Tignall,
Washington and Thomson. Baker
was to make a swing through Per
ry, Oglethorpe, and Bainbridge.
-~ Helps Governor .
| . Talmadge stalwart Bob Elliott of
.Columbus, Georgia National Dem
ocratic Committeeman, helped the
Governor get through Thursday’s
appearances at Cartersville and
Carrollton. Talmadge continued to
state the record of his administra
tion and his stand for improved
education in the state. “All this
progress,” Talmadge declared,
“came as a result of the harmony
existing between your Governor
and members of the General As
sembly.”
Elliott charged that Thompson
was “conniving and consorting
with the FEPC crowd.” He said
-the former governor was “like an
excursion ticket; it’s stamped only
for this state.” E
Talmadge took a blast at “for

attack in a radio address. Fort
declared, “The big daily news
papers in Atlanta, Macon and Co

SYRACUSE, N. Y, June 16—
(AP)—FBI agents linked a second
American suspect today to the
Klaus Fuchs spy ring which fed
atomie secrets to Soviet Russia.
They declared that Alfred Dean
Slack, a 44lyear-old Syracuse
chemist arrested here last might,
had admitted giving samples of a
secret high explosive to Harry
Gold, Philadelphia biochemist now
awaiting trial of espionage charg
es. He formerly lived and worked
in Atlanta.
Gold is accused of passing the
samples and production secrets on
to “his Soviet principal, Semen
M. Semenov.” — an employe of
the Russian Amtorg trading ecore
poration who left the U, 8, in
1944,
Gold’s arrest stemmed from in
formation which the FBI obtained
from Dr. Fuchs, topflight British
scientist serving a 14-year prison
tferm in England for betraying
British and American atomic se
crets to Russia. ‘
Slack—a $75-a-week paint firm
chemist — worked during the war
years of 1943-44 at Kingsport,
Tenn., where the secret explosive
RDX was manufactured, and later
on the Manhattan atomie project
at Oak Ridge, Tenn.
He is now being held in SIOO,
000 bail in a jail at nearby Utica
pending transfer to Knoxville,
Tenn.
Slack roundly declared he was
innocent when interviewed by re
porters. Asked whether he knew
Harry Gold, he replied.:
“I don’t recall ever knowing
anybody by that name.”
No plea was permitted at his
arraignment before U. S. Com
missioner A. Van W, Hancock. He
will enter his plea at Knoxville
where the case will be presented
to a federal grand jury.
Conviction on a charge of es
:ionage in wartime carries a pos
sible penalty of death.
Pictured As Quiet
A salesman for the Sundure
Paint Corp., where Slack has been
assistant superintendent for sev
eral months, pictured Slack as a
“quiet, conscientious worker” and
said his “ideas seemed decidedly
Democratic.” The salesman de
clined use of his name.
Slack said he never had been a
Communist.
Mrs. Slack turned reporters
away from her home in Clay, 12
miles north of Syracuse.
“You'll have to talk to my hus
band,” was her only comment,
She was taking care of her sons,
aged four and one.
The FBI said Slack had given
Gold information and samples
while employed at the Holston
ordnance works in Kingsport,
Gold Arrest
Gold was arrested in Philadel
phia May 23. He is accused of aid
ing Dr. Kiaus Fuchs, convicted
British atomic spy serving a 14-
year prison term in England. -
Slack attended Syracuse Uni
versity for a year, and also attend
ed Mechanics Institute at Roches~
ter, N. Y., and Central City Bus
iness Institute here. He worked for
Eastman Kodak at Rochester for
about 14 years and then moved
South,
“T am completely innocent of
anything wrong,” he asserted.
