U. S. Bombers Lead New Korean Drive
STRATEGIC
AIRPORT I
RECAPTURED
Truman Ponders Use
Of Troops; MacArthur
Back From Front Lines
) By The Associated Press
Behind the pounding of seven
American Superfortresses, South
Korean forces stormed back to the
offensive today and reoccupied
strategic Kimpo Airport, 16 miles
west northwest of fallen Seoul.
While Amerlcan bombers were
blasting Communist north Korea
invaders out of the field, U. S. and
Korean strategists drew their main
battle line along the Han River
and ordered it held at all costs.
About 25,000 troops on each side
face each other along the line,
which extends from a point just
southeast of Seoul westward to
the Yellow Sea and Communist
held Inchon. The Communist drive
southward has not yet crossed the
TLVET,
The 75-mile battle line protects
the American air breachhead in
“501’03 and field headquarters of
Gen. MacArthur’s officers . Mac-
Arthur’s officers said they believe
the south Koreans can hold it now.
MacArthur, back in Tokyo after
» 15-hour flying visit to the front,
appeared heartened by tie stiffen
ing resistance he saw and the mor
ale of the Koreans, who cheered
him. The southerners apparently
were recovering from the initial
shock of the Communist invasion.
Infantry units once cut off by the
Red tank attack which enveloped
Seoul were being regrouped swift
ly to join the counter offensive.
The south Koreans moved in—
at least temporarily—on Kimpo
airport just after two American
bombers blasted the Communists
out of the field. To the southeast,
Seoul, south Korea’s capital, ap~
peared for the present firmly in
Red hands, with street fighting |
virtually at an end. 1
Supplies Increased S
American bombing and supply
operation were stepped up with
the entrance of the B-29 Super
forts in the mounting offensive.
Other B-29s bombed targets near
Inchon and Seoul and along the
38th parallel. Behind the assault
the resurgent defenders drove
back into Kimpo field and to the
north, engaged the Reds at cap- |
tured Uijongbu, 12 miles north of
Seoul. ‘
MacArthur, commander-in-chief
of U. S. Pacific forces, who is
leading the United Nations in de
termined measures to stop the Red |
invasion, drove by automobile to
the edge of Seoul and saw the
toughening resistance behind
American air strength. After 15
hours at the front, he returned to
Tokyo. Communist planes dogged
him and one which tried to attack
his unarmed transport was driven
off by an American fighter escort.
President Truman in Washing
ton apparently was confronted
with another grave decision
whether to order American troops
into the fight to stop the drive of
Communists in Asia. Possible fur
ther commitment of American
forces — ships, planes and mate
rials already are in the war—was
indicated in a Tokyo report say=
ing U. S. troops had been alerted
to stand by for action.
Troops Needed
Tokyo dispatches said top au
thorities there feel American troop
action cannot be long delayed if
south Korea, created by the United
Nations and backed by the U. S
is to be saved from tetal conquest
by the Communist forces of Rus
sian-supported north Korea.

ATLANTA, June 29— (AP)—
Former Gov. M. E. Thompson
conceded the renomination of
Gov. Herman Talmadge at 1:50
p. m. today. Thompson prepared
a statement to be released short
ly.
ATLANTA, June 29—(AP)—
Gov. Herman Talmadge went
ahead of his opponent, M. E.
Thompson, in popular votes this
afternoon in mounting returns
from yesterday’s Georgia Dem
ocratic primary. Talmadge al
ready had clinched renomina
tion by virtue of his overwhelm
ing lead in county unit votes.
At 1 p. m. (EST), Talmadge
led in 123 counties with a unit
vote of 303 and a popular vote
of 222,642.
At the same time, Thompson
had a lead in 36 counties with
117 unit votes and a popular
vote of 222,590.
Returns were reported from
each of the 159 counties and
1404 of the state’s 1704 precincts.
Fate Of Excse Tax Cut,
Aid Bill Rests On Korea
WASHINGTON, June 29. — (AP) — With the Korean
war rung in on both issues, the House was set to vote today
on a $1,010,000,000 excise tax cut and the Senate faced a
new wrangle over foreign arms aid.
House Speaker Rayburn predicted “overwhelming vic
tory” for the tax bill. But the ultimate fate of any tax re
duction at all may well rest on developments in Korea.
Ts the American fight against
Communist aggression in that lit
tle country runs into big money,
the Senate would be expected to
make the final decision on the tax
measure.
That's the way administration
leaders figured when they decided
to go ahead and ram the bill
through the House.
The Senate’s debate on the sl,-
222,500,000 foreign arms bill, put
aside briefly yesterday while the
chamber passed and sent to the
White House a one-year extension
of the draft, was even more close
ly linked with the Korean fight.
Senator Cain (R.-Wash.) an
Armed Services committeeman,
————————proposed that
military aid for
Congress South Korea be
Roundup considered sep
oEß T anately THe pros=
vision earmarking $16,000,000 for
that country and the Philippines
should be sent back to committee
for testimony from top flight State
and Defense officials on actual re
quirements, Cain said.
In view of Cain’s proposal and
several expected speeches, Senate
Democratic Leader Lucas said he
did not expect a vote on the arms
measure today. However, Lucas
predicted the Cain proposal would
be “decisively defeated” if offer
ed as an amendment to the bill.
In another development appar
ently timed to the U. S. ultimatum
against Communism in the Far
Pacific, Republican senators press
ed for congressional action on a
“Communist control” bill,
They claimed wide public sup
port for the measure which would
require registration of all Conr
munist Party members and offi
cials of so-called Communist front
organizations, and bar them from
employment in government jobs.
| Committee Okay
-+ The bill, sponsored by Senators
‘Mundt (R.-S.D.), Ferguson (R.-
Mich.) and Olin D. Johnston (D~
S.C.), was approved two months
ago by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee.
Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) said the
Senate GOP policy committee
decided at a strategy session yes
terday that the meeasure was
“sufficiently important” to ask
that it be included in the list of
must legislation at this session of
Congress.
The tumultuous Communist,in
quiry which a Senate Foreign Re
lations subcommittee has been
conducting since last March ap
peared headed for an early end.
The committee voted three to two
late yesterday to prepare a report
on its stormy inquiry. The com
mittee staff at this time has no
plans for any further hearings.
There was no sign, however, of
any “cease fire” intentions on the
part of Senator McCarthy (R.-
Wis.) whose charges that the State
Department harbors Communists
and fellow travelers touched off
the inquiry.

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER A CENTURY
ATHENS, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1950.
Results from yesterday’s Demo
cratic primary—the same as elec
tion in this deep south state—
showed Talmadge leading in 118
counties having 280 unit votes.
Thompson was ahead in 39 coun
ties with 126 unit votes. A total
of 206 unit votes is needed for
nomination.
Talmadge’s popular vote, with
returns in from 1,252 of the state’s
1,704 precincts, was 180,290.
Thompson had 185,753.
Conservative Senator Walter
George, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee and senior
member of the Foreign Relations
Committee, swept all 107 counties
‘reported. He was challenged for
re-nomination by Atlanta attorney
Alex McLennan.
George, 72, winning a sixth
‘term, piled up 157,017 popular
votes to 27,417 for McLennan. His
107 counties had 272 units.
In a “victory” statement today,
Talmadge -said “We niusy fight as
one against the radical elements
'who would destroy everything we
in the South hold dear.”
Griffin Wins
Lieutenant - Governor Marvin
Griffin, a Talmadge ally, for the
second straight primary rolled to
a landslide. He piled up 276 in
dicated unit votes early today de
spite torrid campaigns against him
by Atlanta Attorney Dan Duke
and former Senate President
Frank Gross of Toccoa.
Duke led in only two counties—
Dodge and Taylor — with four
units, and Gross in only one coun
ty- Catoosa—with two units.
Five other incumbent state of
ficials held steady leads in incon
clusive returns but State Treasur
er George Hamilton, a veteran of
17 years in the office, faced a pos
sible upset. |
He was battling in a hairline
close race with Talmadge-backed
Sims Garrett, Milledgeville busi
ness man.
All Georgia Congressmen seek
ing re-election apparently held
safe leads except Rep. W. M.
(Don) Wheeler of the Eighth Dis
trict, who was running neck-and
neck with Country Johnston of
Valdosta.
In the third, where Rep. Ste
phen Pace retired, E. L. (Tic)
Forester of Leesburg led Frank
Myers of Americus.
For young Talmadge, the pri
mary apparently was a duplica
tion of the feat of his famed
father, the late Gov. Eugene Tal

No Progress Is Made In Efforts
To Halt Western Rail Walkouts
By The Associated Press
Government mediators made no progress yesterday in
attempts to settle a switchmen’s strike against five rail
roads. But a bakery strike ended in Seattle and there was
hope for a break in the Pittsburgh milk strike.
This was the labor situation around the country:
Railroads: The National (Railroad) Mediation Board
continued peace conferences in Chicago with representa
tives of the carriers and unions representing AFL switch
men, conductors, trainmen and yardmasters.
Some 4,000 switchmen struck Sunday against the Rock
Island, Great Northern, Chicago Great Western, Denver
and Rio Grande Western, and Western Pacific lines.
The other unions have threaten
ed a walkout July 15 to back up
demands for a 40 hour work week
at 48 hours pay for yard workers.
A Presidential Fact Finding Board
recommended a 40 hour week at
an 18 cents hourly pay boost for
the four unions.
At least 47,100 are idle because
of the strike. More are due to be
laid off.
Baking: Some 800 striking AFL
bakers ended a 10 day work stop
page in Seattie. The bakers won a
T dveent chourly
Labor wage increase
after authorizing
Roundup a committee to
=i L accept the 'hest
terms available. The union has
asked a 35 hour week of five con
secutive days, no holiday work
and time and a half for holidays.

wife vote at Valdosta, their home.— (AP

A conciliator said none of these
provisions were in the final agree
ment.
Los Angeles’ 11 day bakers’
strike may end today. Some 1,900
AFL bakers are scheduled to vote
on a wage offer. But union leaders
have recommended rejection of an
eight cent an hour pay hike re
troactive until May 1. The bakers’
principal demand was a 35 hour
week with no pay cut from the
present 40 hour week. Manage
ment did not yield to this de
mand.
Milk: Greater Pittsburgh area
milk dealers made a new offer to
settle the 20 day old milk strike
in a seven county area. The presi
dent of the local AFL dairy work
ers union said it would be sub
mitted to 3,200 idle unionists. De
tails were not disclosed.
Newspapers: Federal mediators
arranged another meeting between
representatives of the New York
World-Telegram and Sun and the
CIO American Newspaper Guild
in an effort to end the guild’s 16
day old strike.
Telephones: Division 45 of the
Communications Workers of
America ratified a new wage con
tract with Northwestern Bell Tel
ephone Company. Ratification
meetings were held last week in
Minnesota, lowa, Nebraska and
the Dakotas. The union had asked
for a package increase of 15 cents
an hour. oo i

were a few cents a pound cheaper

' small and irregular to establish
'a trend.
[ Top grade eggs were unchanged

‘Sevcral large coffee roasters boos
ted their wholesale prices one to
three cents a pound—some for the
second time in two weeks—which
means consumers soon will be
paying higher prices for vacuum
packed brands.
And on the produce shelves,
higher price tags went on two
salad staples — tomatoes and ice
burg lettuce. Agriculture depart
ment market specialists blamed
the weather for both these ad
vances. Tomatoes were unusually
‘scarce because the late spring de
layed planting in areas which
should now be supplying the mar
ket, they said. And too-hot weath
er recently cut down the supply
of iceberg lettuce.
Cuvcumbers and peppers also
were more expensive than last
week most places.
Many storekeepers picking out
foods to feature for the week-end
with its following holiday on the
Fourth of July stressed frying
chickens and turkey as picnic
items. Both were abundant. One
large eastern store chain planned
to sell large turkeys for 49 cents
a pound.
Summer fruits also were being
heavily promoted. Watermelons
were much cheaper than last week
in mcst regions. Strawberries were
in their last peak wee'. of the rea
son. Raspberries were lower-pric
ed, and shipments of blackberries,
blueberries, gooseberries, cherries
and grapes were increasing.
