The 64 year old educator said
his retirement was now in the
hands of the Regents and he ex
pected the board to act on the
matter Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Jour
nal reported that Dr. O. C. Ader
hold, dean of the College of Edu
cation at the University, was be
ing considered for Rogers’ post.
However, Hughes Spalding of
Atlanta, chairman of the Regents,
refused to confirm either the res
ignation of Rogers or the possible
consideration of Aderhold.
Rogers said his retirement was
“in accord with a previous agree
ment.” "
He said he and Dr. Harmon
Caldwell, chancellor of the Uni
versity System, agreed the terms
of his retirement last December in
“a 3 hotel room in Dallas, Texas,”
where both were attending an
educational meeting. S
Rogers said he preferred not to
disclose terms of the agreement
until after the Regents meet
Thursday.
The University president added
that it was planned when he took
over that he would be retired
when he reached the age of 65. He
will be 65 Sept. 7.
Age Issue ! ;
However, Spalding said that
Rogers’ reaching the age of 65 did
not mean that his retirement was
compulsory. “A man can Sserve
during his entire sixty-fifth year,”
Spalding said.
Rogers was appointed president
of the University in January, 1949,
after Caldwell was elevated from
the post to his present one as
chancellor.
Rogers was president of North
Georgia College at Dahlonega at
the time of the appointment. He
had served there for 15 years.
The Board of Regents meeting
Thursday was set to consider a
compromise proposal in the Agri
cultural College controversy at
the Athens institution.
The compromise would provide
for a vice president of the Uni
versity to have full charge of agri
sultural matters. However, both
Caldwell and Spalding are known
to oppose the plan.

$2 Million Library
To Take Location;
Press Is ‘Homeless’
A sub-terranean building of re
plant operations,
The first plan calls for a struct
question of what to do with the
University printing department.
This department, now housed in
Chancellor House on the campus,
must be moved soon to make way
for the two million dollar Ilah
Dunlap Little Memorial Library.
Two plans have been recom
mended as possible solutions to
the press’ housing problem, ac
cording to B. C. Kinney, head of
inforced concrete may be the ans
wer to the University of Georgia’s
ure to be built into the embank
ment behird the Commerce-Jour
‘nalism Building with the roof at
ground level. The roof would serve
as a parking lot.
The modern building, facing the
Landscape Architecture gardens,
would jut out far enough for win
dows on either side. Plans are not
complete enough to say how far
it would extend, Kinney said.
* No authorization has been made
for the construction of this build
ing, he emphasized.
The other plan would place the
press in the old library when the
new one is completed. The south
east: corner of the present library
is being considered.
Meanwhile, officials are seeking
a temporary location for the soon
to-be homeless press.
The Chancellor House, located
on the site of the new library,
must be vacated before the begin
ning of the fall quarter. No defi
nite construction date has been set
on the new library, but officials
expect preliminary work to begin
before September.

Wartime Rationing Controls Opposed
l WASHINGTON, July 15.— (AP) —Demrocratic opposition arose in
Congress today against any action to clamp wartime price-wage and
| rationing controls on the country as a result of the Korean fighting.
| Senator George (D.-Ga.), who heads the Senate Finance Commit
tee, told a reporter he believes it would be “a very serious error” for
the administration to seek either to impose sweeping controls now or to
ask for standby authority to put them into effect later.
Senator Tom Connally (D.-Texas), who heads the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, said he doesn’t believe such controls are neces
sary now.
“If we need them later, I assume that we will put thenr on,” he said
in an interview.
Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) already has announced his opposition to
| granting tke President standby powers. The attitude of the Democratic
senators made it apparent that the administration will have to move
l slowly on the subject of mandatory contrels or face a possible congres
| sional setback .

GEN. COLLINS SAYS:
U. S. Forces Can Hold
Extensive Korea Area
Washington, July 15—(AP)—
Gen. J. Lawton Collins predict
ed today that American forces
will be able to hold an “exten
sive bridge head” in Korea and
ultimately throw back the Com
munist forces.
To help do the job, the Army
Chief of Staff told a news con
ference, new weapons and am
munition, including tanks, are
being moved into Korea,
Collins and Gen. Hoyt Van
denberg, Air Force Chief of
Staff, talked with reporters im

President Truman on their aerial
inspection trip to the Korean
front.
Each said he was completely
satisfied with the performance
and the morale of American

Collins said that the first U.

Recruiting Offices ‘
Here Lengthen Hours |
Local recruiting offices along with the Clarke County
Selective Service board announced yesterday that as a re
sult of the recent Korean crisis their offices have been or
dered to remain open longer hours.
Chief Irest E. Mathis, who is in
charge of the Athens” Navy Re=
cruiting Station said yesterday
that his office will now remain
open seven days per week, in
cluding Saturdays and Sundays,
from 8:00 a. m. until 5:00 p. m.
He also announced that men
who._have been discharged from
the Navy on a Dependency Dis
charge, Buppers Man C-10308, or
under the ‘“Saved Pay” provision
of the Armed Forces Pay Bill may
now be accepted for reenlistment
in the regular Navy.
Men desiring to reenlist who
now have dependents mutst have
been discharged in pay grade E-3
or above, according to the Chief.
In a report from the Army and
Air Force Recruiting Office yes
terday, it was learned that their
station has increased its office
hours to include a full day Satur
day, to take care of men desiring
information in their service; how
ever, it will be closed on Sunday,
being open six days weekly.
The Selective Service office an
nounced that the county board will
now be open on Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday from 8:30
a. m. until 5:30 p. m., instead of
the usual two days per week, in
the office set up for the board on
the third floor of the Court House.
In making the announcement, J.
M. Reeves, board chairman, said
that all young men must register
with this office within five days
of their eighteenth birthday.
Chief Mathis in his report re
iterated the announcement made
previously this week that volun
teer enlistments are being accept
ed for a minimum of 6 months
with a guarantee of 12 months
active duty.
He also stated that men in cer
tain reserve ratings can apply at
the “nearest Navy recruiting sta
tion for volunteer duty. All men
holding petty officer ratings up to

But he said that they have
done a “relatively fine job.”
Then he added they had done
an exceptionally fine job.
“It isn't going to be an easy
fask,” the Army chief said. “But
I haven’t the slightest doubt in
the world we will hold an ex
tensive area in South Korea.”
The general said he was im
pressed by the ecalmness and
confidence of the American
troops. Tt
There is no question, he said,
that they are up against a tough,
well-trained and well-led ene
my. But he said he is confident
“the situation can be stabilized
before very long” and the in
vading Reds driven out in time.
NO ESTIMATE
He gave no estimate of how
long that would take.
A reporter remarked that it
won’t be enough to hold an ex

period. The duty assignment will
‘be*primarily sea or overseas bill
ets.
According to his statement,
former enlisted men who are not
already in the Reserve and desire
to volunteer for this duty can be
enlisted in the Naval Reserve,
V 6, in their rate of discharge.
This will make them eligible for
volunteer duty under the present
set up.

~ The idea behind such agreements, if they were made, would be to
channel some of these materials into plane, tank and gun building,
cutting down the production of some domestic items such as automo
biles, refrigerators and television sets.
George said he thinks that industry would fall in line with volun
tary agreements, rather than have rigid controls clamped on the econ
omy at this time.
He added, however, that some travel restrictions might be necessary
to keep the routes opens to pour men and supplies into the Far East.
ALLOCATE SUPPLIES
~Jf there is to be a long-range preparedness progranr to build up de
fenses against possible Communist ' outbreaks in other parts of the
world, George said he thinks it can be accomplished by voluntary
agreements on the allocation of supplies.
Connally has asked the Foreign Relations Committee to meet Tues
day but he said he has no present plans for seeking a report on the
Korean situation from State Department officials or others,
The Senate Armed Services Committee may hear Secretary of De
fense Johnson during the week in a continuing effort to find out just
what is being done to bolster lightly-held American defenses in Korea.

Monday For New
City Fire Station
Dedication Service
Is Preliminary;
Tours Are Planned
An Open House following dedi
cation of Athens Fire Station No.
3 at one p. m. Monday has been
announced by Fire Chief W. C.
Thompson.
He said local citizens are urged
to inspect the city’s newest addi
tion to the fire department. Tours
of the modern one-story fire proof
building will be conducted that
afternoon. ”
Also, interested children of the
community are invited to see the
boulding and inspect the fire en
gine.
Visiting Hours
Following Monday’s Open
House the station’s visiting hours
will be 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. Opera
tion of the station will begin Mon~
day after the dedication.
Taking part in the dedication
services will be Mayor Jack R.
Wells, members of City Council,
Civiec Service Commission mem
bers and many firemen. Other
Athenians are invited to attend
the affair. Mayor Wells, W. B.
Moss, Commission chairman, and
Chief Thompson will speak at the
dedication.
The five beds for the men on
night duty at the station were
made by the firemen themselves.
They are constructed of extra
heavy poplar. Chief Thomason de
signed them and men on the force
made the beds. Each bed has
drawers on the side where exira
bedding and other items are kept.
The station, built by Mathis
Construction Company under the
supervision of City Engineer J. G.
Beacham, is one of the best equip
ped stations in this section. Chief
Thompson said it is workable, ser
viceable and practical in every
way.
No Fire Pole
It being one-story, the station
has no fire pole. This is one of the
unusual aspects of the new build
ing. The station has a main section
for trucks, a captain’s office,
lounge, baths, sleeping quarters
and kitchen. : :
At capacity it will house two
pumpers and a junior aerial truck,
and should be capable of ade
quately serving the Five Point
section for 50 years, Chief Thomp
son said.
Four men have been added to
the force and four men will be
transferred from main headquar

“Around - The- Clock”
Bombing Halts Reds
Reds Maintain One Bridgehead
Across River; Patrols Repuised
TOKYO, Sunday, July 16.—(AP)—U. 8. infantry, sup
ported by around-the-clock bombing, checked the North
Korean lunge across the Kum river near strategic Taejon
in heavy fighting today.
Field dispatches said the Communists attempted to build
up their forces south of the river, but a number of patrols
were thrown back by an alert American defense.
The North Koreans were ac
knowledged earlier to have en
larged their bridgehead on the
south bank of the Kum about 20
miles northwest of Taejon. Field
dispatches indicated the Com
munists have advanced five miles
from the river and are about 15
'miles west of Taejon.
A headquarters spokesman with
‘the U. S. Eighth Army described
the Communist attacks as
i “strong.” Presumably, he referred
to Red attempts to break out from
‘the bridgehead and overrun Tae
jon and its air field.
There still was no evidence that
the northerners had moved tanks
across the Kum, said Associated
Press Correspondent William R.
Moore. Tanks have spearheaded
the North Korean invasion from
the outset.
Intense aerial assaults were be
lieved to have disrupted enemy at
tempts to bolster the bridgehead,
Moore said. Another front dis
patch said U. S. air strikes on
targets along the north bank had
touched off 18 fires.
100-Foot Flame
One flamed 100 feet into the air.
It was believed to have been a
supply dump. Night bombers
lashed at two concentrations of
North Korean tanks north of the
Kum.
An Eighth Army spokesman an
nounced that a naval party land
ed on South Korean’s east coast,
created a landslide with demoli
tions about 90 miles north of the
important port of Pusan, and
withdrew. : o
Stalled Communist truck col
umns then were shelled from the
sea. This was the first report of
an allied naval landing. Whether
the landing party was American
or British was not indicated.
The fighting tempo was fastest
on the western part of the front
which stretches across the Korean
Peninsula.
Flank Loss
[ While the Americans were hold
}ing along the south bank of the
Kum, the South Korean army on
the east flank had to yield some
ground.
The South Koreans are figiiting
doggedly, however, and so far
have kept the invaders from
reaching the Kum River. A break
across the river here might put
the Reds in the rear of the Amer
ican positions north and west of
’ Taejon.
~ Moore said the Communists at
tacking the U. S. lines northwest
of Taejon threw in artillery and
possibly self - propelled guns.
American artillery returned the
fire. It was believed that every
new crossing attempt was erushed.
There have been no reports that.
the Reds have moved armor south
of the Kum at any point.
Intense aerial strafing and
bombing were believed to have
