Stalins Word On Language
Dispute Hints Moscow Purge
Soviet Parade
Of Confessions
Is Seen By West
NEW YORK, June 22—(AP)—
Now that -Prime Minister -Stalin
has laid down the law on Soviet
language policies, a parade of new
confessions can be expected in
Moscow.
Stalin spoke in Pravda on Tues
day. Exactly what his words
meant is a nmatter which is subject
to broadly varying interpretations,
but this appears obvious: He did
lay waste, in no uncertain terms,
the school of Linguistics which
long has ridden the crest of popu
larity in the Soviet Union. .
Nikolai Yakovlevich Marr, the
philologist hailed only recently as
“inspired Soviet scientist and
founder of the new materialist
teachings on language,” was not
only wrong in many of his con
ceptions, but was un-marxist, said
Stalin, The Soviet leader thus en
tered — and probably ended—a
long debate on linguistics which
has been going on for several
months in Moscow.
If the Communists run true to
form, this will bring a parade of
confessions in the form of “Bol
shevist criticism and self-criti
cism,” from persons like Acade
mician I. I. Meshchaninov, a lead
er of the Marr school, who in an
academy discussion in April pro
claimed Marr a model scientist
“combatting hostile, idealist theo
ries” of language.
Others had joined joyfully in
singing the praises of Marr, who
died in 1934. . R
The first ominous portent that
things might go awry for the dom
inant school of lariéuage study
came a little more than a month
ago. Pravda, official Communist
party paper, published an article
criticizing the Marr adherents. To
western observers it looked like
the beginning of a shift in policy.
Stalin made it official. He wrote
in Pravda that it was time Soviet
philology freed itself wrom the
mistakes of Marr and liquidated
the rule of his adherents, Marr’s
theory that different classes de
velop different languages was ab
surd, said Stalin; Marr’s notion
that langrage was merely a cul
tural superstructure which would
change swiftly with revolution
was imply not true, Further, the
prime minister deglored that the
Marr school gave Soviet philology
a regime under which scientists
were demoted or fired for criti
cizing Marr’s teachings.
What does this portend?

Dulles Says Communist World
Too Weak For War At Present
By The Asmiatedv
U. S. State Department ad
viser John Foster Dulles said in
Tokyo today the “captive world”
of Communism would not risk
war with the free world at this
time because it is too weak.
He told the American Cham
ber of Commerce such a war, if
it came, would see “the total
demolition of the artificial, rigid
and relatively weak structure
that Soviet Communism has
built.”
He warned, however, that the
real danger to non-Communist
countries is that they may be
taken over from within by
small, disciplined Communist
minorities. L
Dulles talked with Generdt
MacArthur in a review of
American foreign policy in the
Far East. They were said to be
in virtually complete agreement

3 Men Wounded
Attempting To
Work At Plant
MORRISTOWN, Tenn., June 22
—(AP) — Three men were woun
aed by gunfire at the American
Enka Corporation today and tvo
hours lcter a barrage of guniire
shattered windows in the strike
harassed Rayon producing plant.
Gunfire erupted at 7 a. m, dur
ing a change of shifts at the piant,
scene of recurrent disorders since
the CIO Textile Workers Union
local 1054 went on strike March
28 in support of & wage increase
and other benetits.
Three men were felled in this
firing.
The battle of gunfire was heard
again shortly after 9 a. m. when
plant offisial said bullets appar
ently were. fired from a highway
leading to the main gate. Windows
were shattered by these slugs but
no one was injured.
The official said at the time of
the second outbreak about 60 to
75 men were milling around the
gate armed with rifles, shotguns
and pistols.
The state highway patrol imme=~
diately sent 70 heavily armed pa
trolmen with gas oombs speeding
to the trouble center, scene of re
curring disorders since a strike
started March 28. e
One report received by highway
patrol headquarters in Nashville,
apparently erroneous, said two
men had been killed. There was no
confirmation of this report from
any source. oty =
State Safety Commissioner Sam
Neal and Patrol Captain W. T.
Shelton started here from Nash
ville by automobile. Other details
of patrolmen were rolling toward
Morristown from Knoxville, 40
miles to the east, and Kingsport,
60 miles northward. |
The patrolmen have »rders to
disperse strikers r.lling about the
gate of the Enka plant, seven
miles from here. The pickets re
portedly had barricaded the gates
with automobiles.
The shooting broke out as three
workers attempted to cut across
:éield to avoid the picket line to
o:t for the early morning shifts
Their cars were halted and bul
lets were fired as they fled the
machines.
William MecGinnis was shot in
the leg and head. He was brought
to a hospital, where his condition
was reported as critical,
Victor McDaniel and James Mc-
Canney suffered superficial flesh
wounds.
McGinnis told Joe Q. Dougher
ty, industrial relations officer for
Enka, he returned the fire before
bullets of the ambushers knocked
him out.
Dougherty said no law enforce
ment officers were present when
the shooting broke out.
The violence broke out near the
plant entrance and employes pick=
ed up McGinnis and carried him
inside. e
The shooting occurred after a
night of quiet during which work
ers due off at midnight were kept
on duty through a second shiit to
avoid possible trouble with a
group of 60 to 75 pickets outside
the plant gate.

Three Alarms,
Only One Fire
Firemen answered three alarms
this morning; however, there was
only one fire.
First they went to The Plaza, a
street located off Hancock avenue,
where a smoke-house owned by
Pleas Dious, colored, burned.
lieanwhile, another alarm was
turned in on the same fire, but at
a different box; thus sending more
trucks to the scene,
The smoke-house was complete
ly destroyed. The house caught
from a fire where Dious was
smoking meat,
Firemen also answered an alarm
to Hanna Manufacturing Com

went off while it \y?s being

Action On Draft Bill
Sped Against Deadline
Stripped Of Segregation Issues,
Passage Is Sought Before Friday
WASHINGTON, June 22.— (AP) —Stripped of a con
troversial segregation amendment, a Senate bill to extend
the draft law was put on a speed-up schedule today in an
effort to beat a Friday midnight deadline.
That’s when the présent selective service law expires.
Democratic Leader Lucas of
Illinois called the senators to work
an hour early in an attempt to
settle the issue on time. It still
seemed likely that Congress would
be forced to pass a stop-gap bill
to keep the act in effect beyond
tomtßpow: = - v
The extension bill had several
obstacles to hurdle before it could
be sent to the White House. Among
them were:
1. A promise by Senator Russell
(D.-Ga.) to revive and modify his
proposal—beaten last night cn a
42 to 29 vote—to permit service
men to join units of their own race
if they so desire,
2. A Republican move to give
Congress “trigger control” over
actual drafting or inductions, as
provided in a House-passed
measure. The Senate bill would
retain this authority in the hands
of President Truman,
3. Chairman Vinson (D.-Ga.) of
the House Armed Services Com
mittee told a reporter the House
will insist on its version of the
draft extender—thus raising the
prospect of further delay in final
passage of the bill.
Ameng the differences between
the version passed by the House
and that being considered by the
Senate is-one involving the length
of the draft extension—two years
as provided by the House, three
years in the Senate bill.
Earlier Deadline
Lucas told the Senate late yes
terday that the present law expires
Friday, instead of Saturday as
first supposed. He then tried in
vain to get unanimous agreenrent
for a final vote early today. There
were many objections,
Russell, for one, made clear
that he still planned to fight for
his proposal in one form or an
other,

Governor Race
Talmadge Is Accused
Of Inflaming Racial
Issue In Eying Future
By The Associated Press
Gov. Herman Talmadge was
accused last night of inflaming
the racial issue with an eye toward
running against Richard B. Rus
sell for the U. S. Senate in 1954.
Former Gov. M. E. Thompson
tossed in this new charge as he
lambasted Talmadge in a rally at
Jonesboro. And Talmadge, in a
Macon rally, spared Thompson the
usual blasting and turned most of
his fire on the Macon newspapers.
Then both candidates turned to
new fields today in the wind-up
stages of their fight for the gov
ernorship in Georgia’s Democratic
primary next Wednesday,
Talmadge was scheduled at
Baxley this afternoon and Fitz
gerald tonight; Thompson at Dal
las this morning and Columbus
tonight.
Thompson said last night that a
Talmadge supporter, introducing
the Governor at one of his ral
lies, tipped voters off the the Tal
madge scheme against Russell. He
said the speaker expressed hope
that Talmadge would go to the
Senate in 1954. (Russell comes up
for re-election that year.)
But Thompson said Russell or
anyone else needn’t worry “be
cause the people are going to de
feat this juvenile delinquent.”
Thompson jubilantly told the
Jonesboro erowd of 600 to 800 that

Truman Expecfed
To Sign Rents
Measure Quickly
Bill Extending Curbs
-Untii December 31st '
Sped Through Congress
WASHINGTON, June 22—(AP)
—A bill extending federal z
controls until December 31
through Congress late yesterday.
President Truman was expected
to sign it promptly. : y
Acting with' rare speed, the
House sent the bill to the Senate
on a 176 to 145 vote, and thopm
ate five hours later com
congressional action by approving
it, 40 to 24. ‘
The measure, worked out in 2
Senate-House Conference, fell well
short of President Truman’s speci
fications for a one-year extension
without any restrictions. However,
lawmakers had no doubts that Mr,
Truman would sign the bill rathey
than let the present curbs die on
June 30.
The bill extends controls for an
additional six months eand alse
gives municipalities the option of
retaining them for still anether
six months,
It also keeps econtrols en per
manent accommodations in Chi
cago’s apartment and residential
hotels and gives counties the right
to decontrol thelr unincorporated
areas, a decontro! privilege pre
vitiusly given only to states and
cities.
No Debate
In contrast to the lengthy Sen
ate debate on the original bill,
there was none on the conference
report. Thirty Democrats and 10
Republicans lined up for it, while
1¢ Republicans and six southern
Democrats opposed.
Earlier, the Senate by a 42 $s 32
vote had cleared for White House
approval a bill softening one of
the main penalty provisions of the
hateh clean politics act. 5
The bill permits a lesser pen&
than oufright dismissal for a
eral employe found guilty eof
participating in political activities
barred by the act. The lesser pen
alty can be imposed only by &
unanimous vote of the Civil Serv=
ice Commission and in no case be
less than 30 days suspension with
out pay.
It permits government workers
living in nearby Virginia and
Maryland to engage in party poli
tics at the local level.
The bill also was a product of a
joint Senate-House conference.
A third conference report may
be called up for Senate action to
day, It would increase by $2,-
000,000,000 the farm price support
funds for the Commodity Cregit -
Corporation. Congress already has
authorized the CCC to use $4.-
850,000,000 for this purpose. The
House adopted the measure yes
terday 235 to 81.
