tians go to the polls tomorrow to vote their preference for
United States Senator, Governor and other officers, in
cluding members of the General Assembly. o
Baker Closes
CampaignAt
Representative C. O. Baker
closed his eampaign for Governor
with a rally in Athens last night.
His speech was broadcast over a
statewide hook-up, coming from
the rally at the corner of Clayton
street and College avenue. He was
introduced by Councilman Roger
N. Hazen. -
Mr. Baker reviewed his career
in school and college, stating that
at the University of Georgia he
“ran $6.39 into two college educa
tions”’ He said he will, if elected,
run the business of the State upon
the sarae basis. He said he was
the first candidate to advocate a
sales tax, that Candidate M. E.
Thompson took his ideas about a
sales tax from a Baker pamphlet
on the subject.
Attacks Newspapers
The candidate assailed the re
registration act, and the law giv
ing the State Democratic Commit
tee the right to name the date for
‘State Primaries. He denounced
the newspapers supporting Thomp
son, charging they want a man as
Governor they “can run” and who
will pay them for printing the
legal advertisements Thompson
gave them when he was a candi
date two years ago.
He attacked The Banner-Herald
for supporting Governor Tal
madge, saying he hoped “The
Banner-Herald got its thirty pieces
of silver” for “betraying” Mr.
Baker.
Mr. Baker also denounced the
Georgia Power Company and the
Coca-Cola Company, asserting that
neither is supporting him or fi
nancing him.
He declared that if “half what
Talmadge says tbout Thompson is
true, and if half what Thompson
says about Talmadge is true, both
of them ought to be in the peni
tentiary instead of candidates for
Governor.”
Mr. Baker declared the State
has tried both Talmadge and
Thompson and they failed the peo
ple. He said the people ought to
try him.
A Businessman
“Do you want for your governor
a man who has taught school all
of his life, a man who is living off
his father’s reputation. or a busi
nessman?” he queried.
Mr. Baker said Thompson could
not be elected when he had the
State government and .all of its
employes behind him, together
with Ed Rivers and Ellis Arnall.
“How can he be elected now when
he has none of them behind him?”
Candidate PBaker said that he

Seats At Stake;

3Torrid R
ATLANTA, June 27— (AP) —
Five contests for U. S. House seats
are at stake in Georgia’s Democra
tic primary tomorrow; and at least
three of them have turned into
torrid races. T 4
The chairman of the House Un-
American Activities Committee,
Rep. John Wood of Canton, is
locked in a* bitter struggle with
Dr. Winston E. Burdine of Blue
Ridge, former State American Le
gion Commander.
The Ninth District race in
Northeast Georgia picked up lots
of steam in the wake of recent
charges against Wood by Column
ist Drew Pearson.
In the eighth district in South
east Georgia, Valdosta attorney
Country Johnson is battling again
to unseat Rep. W. M. (Don)
Wheeler of Alma. A third candi
date is Ronald Adams of Jesup.
And in the meandering third
district in Southern and Western
Georia, two newcomers are scrap
ping hard for the seat vacated by
veteran Rep. Stephen Pace. They
are Frank Myers, Americus attor
ney and state representative, and
E. L. (Tic) Forrester of Leesburg,
solicitor general of the Southwest
ern Judicial Circuit.
Two other races have stirred
less inteerst—Rep. James C. Davis
of Decatur is opposed by Wyman
C. Lowe, Atlanta attorney whom
he defeated easily two years ago;
and Stormy Rep. E. E. Cox of
Camilla is opposed by J. D. Cook,
Tifton attorney. ;
In the envied position of run
ning for re-election without oppo
sition are Reps. Prince Preston of
Statesboro, Sidney Camp of New
nan, Carl Vinson of Milledgeville,
Henderson Lanham of Rome and
Paul Brown of Elberton.
The Wood-Burdine race in the
North Georgia hills started out
like a lamb and is ending up like
a lion. The matamorphisis was
spurred by Columnist Pearson,
who charged Wood with putting
his personal servant on the payroll
of the Un-American Activities
Committee.
Pearson also said that Wood’s
office accepted a SI,OOO fee for
passing a bill giving a Tate youth
SIO,OOO for injuries suffered when
he was hit by an Army truck. A
third column charged that Wood
soft-pedaled an investigation of
Communism in Hollywood.
Burdine seized this ammunition
in a rousing race. Wood countered
with a blast at Pearson as an
“arch liar and character assassin.”
Wood showed affidavits that the
SI.OOO fee came from Mack Stan
field, father of the crippled youth,
and was paid to his law partner
and office employe, (tarl Tallant.
Boih the elder Stanfield and Tal
lant declared the fee was for ac
tual legal services in compiling
evidence. Wood said he hadn,’_i;
even known about the fee. -
Wood charges that Burdine is
backed by “the political bosses of
the CIO.” He hits Burdine on
civil rights and racial issues,
charging that Burdine hired a ne
gro policeman as mayor of Blue
Ridge.
Wood, 65, is a veteran of five
races and a former Georgia legis
lator, solicitor and judge. Bur
dine, 36, is making his first major
race. He has made 210 speeches
and claims he has shaken hands
with 25,000 persong.¢sves i’ - &isss

Senate - House Conferees Quickly
Ratify One - Year Draft Extension
Both Chambers Must Okay Measure
Giving Truman Wider Draft Powers
WASHINGTON, June 27.— (AP) —Senate-House con
ferees today voted a one year extension of the President’s
existing power to draft young men.
The agreement, which must be ratified by both cham
bers, also would empower the President to order the Nat
ional Guard and all reserves to immediate active duty.
The Senate-House group obviously acted because of the
tense Korean situation.
They junked previous restric
tions voted by the Senate and
House upon presidential authority
to induct manpower and voted out
a one year extension of existing
draft powers.
Senator Byrd (D.-Va.), one of
the conferees, told a reporter that
the previously deadlocked law
makers had quickly agreed today
that this was no time to have the
world think there was a dispute
here over such a matter.
Previously the House had veted
a two,year extension of the peace
time draft act requiring registra
tion of young men 18 through 25
years. It retained in the hands of
Congress the authority for induc
tions or actual drafting.
The Senate voted a three-year
extension also retaining “trigger
control” over actual drafting when
Congress was in session.” It would
have allowed the president to start
inductions, when Congress was
away, if he found it necessary to
build up the armed services é:
strengths allowed by Congression:
al appropriations.
The compromise allows the one
year extension of the present act
plus new powers to order the' re
serves and National Guard to ac
tive duty.
This could not have been done
for all reserves under the present
law, unless the president or Con
gress declared a national emergen
cy, officials said. g
The conferees issued this state
ment:
“The Senate and House con~
ferees, meeting to resolve differ
ences in the extension of the Se
lective Service Act of 1948, have
agreed to extend the existing law,
without limitation, for a period of
one year, until July 9, 1951.
Census figures from an addition
al 27 counties since Dr . J. C.
Meadows, professor of sociology,
University of Georgia, made his
first census study last week have
raised Georgia’s total percentage
gain to 4.4 per cent with prelim
inary figures coming from 130 of
thé 150 counties. g
Dr. Meadows says the gain is
in urban areas, the rural sectiox%s
losing heavily. Also he accredits
the small ‘gain to the large migrg=
tion of Georgia citizens to other
states, o %

Truman Orders Ail‘, Sea
WASHINGTON, June 27.— (AP) —President Trumas
today ordered United States planes and warships to the :.3
of South Korean forces. He laid down a policy of standing
firm against Communist aggression in the Far Pacifie.
As a part of the broader policy, Mr. Truman directed
that the U. S. Seventh Fleet be prepared to intervene ig
prevent any Communist attack on Formosa, the island
refuge of the Chinese National government. ,
At the same time, he asked that Chiang Kai-Shek, head
of the Chinese Nationalists, cease attacks on the mainland
as a contribution toward the pacification of the whole area,
He also announced he is stepping up aid te the Philippines snd
Indo-China.
Mr, Truman announced his actions in s statement which de«
clared:
“The attack upon Korea makes it plain beyond all doubt thaf
Communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer ins
dependent nations and will now use armed invasion and war.”
It was learned that Mr. Truman’s historic decisions were reached
at a high policy meeting at the White House last night.
Before announcing them in a staiement today, he called Nt?
Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders to the White Hous
to review them and explain the background.
U. N. RESOLUTION
The United States actions were taken under the United Nation
resolution which condemned the Communist invasion of Korea :n3
asked all members of the U. N. to lend their support to carrying cui
the U. N. declaration for a halt te the fighting.
The next big question is what will be Russia’s rezclion.
The hope of American officials s that the Soviets will refrain.
from any direct aid to the North Korean forces and perfit the fishée
ing there to be ended. %
In their invasion, the Communists have used small amphibie
forces to land troops behind the lines of the South Koreans. Tllht
one tactic which superior American forces could quickly stop.
(Seoul broadcasts said an American General would take eo
mand of the “joint defense operation.” The President's statemmi
made no reference to this.)
Mr. Truman’s statement said:
‘I know that all members of the United Nations will censides
carefully the consequences of this latest aggression in Korea n dée
fiance es the Charter of the United Nations. A return to the rfi:
of force in International affairs would have far reaching effeets.
United States will continue to uphold the rule of law.”

U. S. Fighters Shoot Down Four Yak's
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gen. MacArthur’s Headquarters confirmed tonight that Amer
ican fighters have shot down four Communist-manned North
Korean planes, and there were well founded reports that Ameiil- ‘
can bombers soon would be hurled into the Korean War unde i
broad new U. S. policy decision. -
A brief announcement said that tanks reporied in Seoul’s sue
burbs “appear to have been isolated forays.” ;
It added “reports of seizure of Seoul have been exaggerated
but this is understandable due to war hysteria resulting from the
unprovoked North Korean assault.”
The announcement confirmed that four Russian built Eorean
planes had been shot down by American manned fighters over
Seoul’s Kimpo Airport when they “interferred with the evacua
tion of women and children.”
MacArthur’s announcement added that “previous reports that
the Korean government had left Seoul for the South appear so
have been unfounded.”
It was not clear whether this meant that President Syngman
Rhee and his key officials were back in Seoul. Two Korean news
men previously said the cabinet had evacuated and this presums
bly included Rhee, Other information strongly indicated that
Rhee had left Seoul to go south.
Since it also was believed that U. S. Ambassador Jehm J.
Muccio and key members of the military mission had left the
South Korean capital, tonight’s official announcement indieated
they might be planning to return to Seoul in view of what ap
peared to be an improved war situation,

U. S. Bombers May Strike Tonight
TOKYO, Wednesday, June 28— (AP) — Decision to send
American-manned bombers to drive the invading Communists
out of South Korea and appointment of an American General té
command a “joint defense operation” were reported early fodsay.
: An apparently well-founded report from a source which
cannot be identified said American planes “tonight” would begin
bombing all towns captured by the North Koreans who invaded
South Korea Sunday.
(Part of this dispatch was timed just before midnight, and
part after midnight. “Tonight” could mean in darkness Wednesday
~ morning or Wednesday night.)
| Early today a Seoul broadcast quoted President Syngman
Rhee as announcing that “General Church” has been named so
command a “joint defense operation” and that General MacArthur
has promised the South Koreans bombers and anti-tank guns.
The General Church referred to was apparently Brig. Gen.
John H. Church, listed at occupation headquarters as commmander
of the Tyukqus (Okinawa) military government.
There was no immediate confirmation at headquarters of such
an appointment. The Seoul broadcast was heard by ftwo dif
ferent agencies in Tokyo and was in line with the trend of the
Korean erisis.
There was no way when I left to
obtain an accurate situation on
the Korean war. All communica
tions within the country are down.
Not all of the Americans are
leaving. About 350 military advis
ers to the Korean government are
driving south in jeeps and other
motorized equipment planning to
keep contact along the way with
the South Korean army.
It is still possible to avoid a
Communist sweep of the Korean
pininsula if these forces can be
regrouped and organized into de
fensive forces.
