Kindergartens
Program Will Give
More Space In
Three Local Schools
Setting up new kindergarten
system in three local schools, the
Board of Education has taken ac
tion to provide badly-needed space
in Athens grammar schools.
City School Superintendent Fred
Ayers said Barrow, Chase Street,
and College Avenue schools have
t+wo kindergarten teachers each oc
cupying separate rooms for a
morning period of three hours,
Two Sessions
However, the new system will
provide two sessions of kindergar
ten each day at the three schools,
according to Mr., Ayers’ report
made on Thursday. A morning and
fternoon session will be super
vised by only one of the two teach~
ers in the schools.
One group will attend school
during the morning as usual, and
the other group will have their
lasses the same period of time,
hut beginning in the afternoon. At
the end of the first semester, the
wo groups wili exchange class
periods, thereby making the sys
tem falr to both periods.
More Room
The new plan will reduce the
number of class rooms used in
these three schools and also the
fiumber of teachers required for
kindergarten work in the plan
which now exists.
Since there is only one session
of kindergarten at the Oconee
Street school, the new plan will
not affect operations in that school.
The kindergarten teacher in that
school will be given additional du
ties, however, to counterbalance
the afternoon work provided for
Barrow, Chase, and College Ave
nue teachers under the new sys
-lem.
Mr. Ayers said that the new sys
tem would begin operation at the
opening of the school year in
September.

REMEMBER FATHER, MOULDER OF OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE
41st OBSERVANCE
Sons, Daughters
BY ALVA MAYES, JR.
With the opening of gifts, read
ing of cards, and smiles of pride
on small beaming faces, Athenians
and their fathers are celebrating
Father’s Day in the city today.
Affection ate cards expressing
love for the things “Dad” repre
sents to the family have been sent
during the past week. Presents of
everything from loud ties to ice
cream freezers have béen wrapped
and secretly stored in anticipation
of the crowning hour when dad
opens them.
Picnics, trips and other activi
ties have been planned as part of
the celebration of the 41st annual
observance of the day honoring
“the worlds greatest guy.”
Special Day
All of this has been done to
honor cur dads which we should
do every day inthe year, but which
we especially do on the third Sun
day of every June.
Father’s Day has quite a history
behind it in case you hadn’t stop
ped to realize it. Tributes to Dad
are now a tradition as they were
paid to him many years ago.-
Probably the oldest is a clay
table written by Elmasu, a Baby
lonian, about 2,000 years before
Christ. It implores the gods to
grant his father good health and
“enduring days.”
Father’s Day in the United
States was first proposed by Mrs.
John Bruce Dodd of Spokane,
Washington, in 1909 as a tribute
to fathers everywhere.
In 1910 the Spokane Minister’s
Association sponsored the first
city-wide Father’s Day, and in
1924 President Calvin Cooledge
recommeénded its nationwide ob
servance.
Respected Place
In America, no matter what
Dad’s social status is or the size

miles from here, Rescuers recover
ed her body. Five homes there
were destroyed and residents of
20 others forced to evacuate.
Other towns hardest hit by the
deluge were Roseville, another
pottery center; Tropic, White Cot
tage, Saltillo and Fultonham. Most
are mining villages.
The flood exploded & hot kiln

Pat Avery Withdraws
From Governor's Race
By The Associated Press
Pat Avery, Rome attorney, retired from Georgia’s scrap
for Governor yesterday (Saturday) while former Gover
nor M. E. Thompson charged that Governor Herman Tal
madge is plotting a 30-station radio mnetwork for false
news on election day. ;
Thompson, at Dublin, said “des~
perate” Talmadge organization also
will create disorder and already
has arranged “a good number” of
cross-burnings.
And Talmadge, with two big
Saturday rallies, strummed his
theme song of racial segregation
and proclaimed a “sweeping vic
tory” in sight for the State Dem
ocratic Primary just ten days
away.

* Sfate Rep. C. O. Fat Baker of
Athens, campaigning in Albany,
said if 'Talmadge is re-elected
June 28 “they’ll have a machine in
Georgia that will make the Pen
dergrast machine of Kansas City
look like mere peanuts.” %
Avery said in a statement he is
ceasing to campaign further “in
the best interest of the people.”
He said the press has pitched the
campaign between only two cand
idates. His name already is on the
ballot and will remain there,
Avery added, because “there are
a few people in the state who wish
to vote for me. I would never rob
them of that privilege. |
“I am returning to my home in
Rome where I can best take care
of my business and personal af
fairs, which have suffered tre
mendously during this campaign,
and to meet my creditors face-to
face.”
Thompson, in Dublin, warned
of last-minute trickery. He said
Talmadge “will try to put out a
mass of misinformation about the
results of the election in different
counties. i
“They have already bought
thousands of dollars worth of time
on 30 stations for this purpose.
They made a special assessment on

profit by trading with the state, to

Truman Tears Secrecy Seals Off
Records Of Underworld Members
BY JOHN B. OWEN
WASHINGTON, June 17— (AP) —President Truman
today tore the seals of secrecy off the income tax records
gs underworld big shots for the eyes of Senate investiga
ors.
The action handed a powerful
weapon to the inquiry committee
digging into crime and corrup
tion.
At the same time Mr. Truman
ordered all executive departments
to cooperate with the committee
to the fullest extent. He already
had told Chairman Kefauver (D-
Tenn) he would do everything in
his power to support the investi
gation.
Committee Call
The committee can call for what
it wants in the way of federal tax
returns on income, excess profits,
declared value excess profits, cap=
ital stock, estates and gifts for any
period up to and including 1949.
A committee official said it has
“no pre-determined list” of names
of persons whose taxes it wishes
to investigate.
“This just euts through the red
100 counties, and they know it.”
He said other last = minute
“tricks” will be a flood of “lying”
pamphlets and handbills, and a
“horde of hired campaign work
ers and state employes, with dece
orated cars, to try to impress you.”
Talmadge, in rallies at Quit
man and Dublin and in a state
ment to the press, said “A great
and sweeping victory is in sight.
Let ug all go to the polls and roll
iup a mighty victory for progress
‘and for the preservation of all
that we the people of the South
hold dear.
“T am proud to be carrying the
banner for the white people of this
state. The big question before
Georgia voters today is who they
can best trust to keep separate
schools and colleges in Georgia.
“T certainly don’t think that we
can trust a man who vetoed the
white primary bill when he sol
emnly promised the people he
would approve it.” 4
Other Candidate
Mrs. Jessie W. Jenkins of Co
lumbus, a fifth candidate, joined
tke victory claims with a state
ment that “I’m winning this bat
tle against all the odds, to give
Georgia a government of fitting
dignity and efficiency and as clean
and fresh as an April breeze. The
Talmadge crowd is getting so
scared they are now stooping to
the level of picketing my meet
ings.”
Legion Pool To
Open At Night
pen At Nig
The Athens Recreation Depart
ment announced officially yester
day that the Legion Pool would
start opening at night, beginning
tomorrow evening.
Local swimmers should wel
come this announcement, consid
ering the humid weather the Clas
sic City has been sweltering under
these last few days.
The pool will be open at night
from 7 o’clock to 9:30. Later it
may stay open until a later hour.
These hours will prevail Monday
through Saturday nights. The
pool is open each aftefnoon from
2:00 until 6:00.
Teen Swimming
Wayne Shields, director of the
City Recreation and Parks De
partment, announces that on Fri
day nights, members of the teen
age elub at Memorial Park, upon
the presentation of their member
ship cards, will be admitted free.
Plans are being worked out for
a family night, which will prob
ably be on Wednesday, at which
time the entire family will he ad
mitted for a special price. Pro
ceedings are also on the make for
a “date” night (which in all prob
ability will be Friday evenings),
at which time a fellow and his girl
will be admitted for the price of
one,
The whole idea is for the pub
lic of Athens to get swimming con
scious. With this hot weather,i
there’s no argument that swim
ming is hard to beat, both as a!
medium of recreation—and a sure !
way to cool off. j

Many racketeers have been rep~
utedly meticulous about accounte
ing for all income since Al Capone
got tripped up for incuom.e tax eva~
‘sion. However, the committee’s
new power will lay bare the source
of that income.
| Certain Cases
\ Although income tax returns sre
secret, the law provides for their
disclosure in certain ecases. Mr.
“Truman recently observed a. a
news conference that the war in

heads in the Senate was given the
right to examine them.
This privilege eame from Pres
ident Roosevelt when the eomit
tee wanted to see some contract
ors’ income tax returns. The Pres
ident has the right to tell the Rev
enue Bureau to disclose a return
te anybody but this right is rarely
used.
Meanwhile, Senator Wiley (R~
Wis) urged cities to set up inde
pendent, non-partisan commis=
sions to war against “rat-crimine
als.”
Wiley, a member of the erime
committee, warned against expeei- |
ing Congress to come up with c‘\x
“magical legislative cure -
against crime.”
Metropolitan Work
“Rather,” he said, “lawlessness
particularly in the nation’s large

Kefauver committee work, there
were vigilant, ‘anti-rat’ commis
sions operaiing in the nation's
