RITES TODAY
FOR ADMIRAL
F. H. BRUMBY
Services were conducted this
morning at 11:30 o’clock from the
old family home on Hancock Av
enue for Admiral Frank Hardeman
Brumby, regarded by many in
high naval circles as one of the
greatest officers in the history of
the United States Navy.
Conducting the service was Rev.
J. Earl Gilbreath, rector of Em
manuel Episcopal Church and in
terment followed in Oconee ceme
téry.
Admiral Brumby died in the
Naval Hospital in Portsmouth,
Va., late Sunday afternoon follow
ing a short illness.
He is survived by his widow,
Isabelle Truxtun Brumby, Nor
folk; daughter, Mrs. Charles Tuck
erman Fitzgerald, Arlington; son,
Commander F. H. Brumby, Arling
ton; three grandchildren, and two
sisters, Miss Mary Harris Brumby,
and Miss Anne Wallis Brumby,
both of Athens.
Admiral Brumby = was born
September 11, 1874, in the old
family home of his great-grand
mother on Hancock Avenue, where
his sisters still reside. He was thr
son of John Wallis Brumby and
Belle Hardeman Brumby.
His early education was received
in private and public schools here
and he entered the United States
Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.,
in September of 1891, to begin the
career of service to his couniry
that was destined to be recognized
and rewarded with the highest
rank conferred by that great
branch of service.
Headed Class
He graduated at the head of his
class at Annapolis and served in
the Spanish-American War on the
New York, fagshlp of Admirdl
Sampson. Admiral Brumby also
took an active part in the success
ful prosecution of World War
One.
He later served as Commander
of the Battle Force and was made
a Four Star Admiral, at that time
the highest rank in the Navy. He
was one of only two Georgians
ever to attain such rank. :
Admiral Brumby’s last active
service was as Commandant of the
Fifth Naval District with head
quarters at the Naval Operating
Base in Norfolk. He retired in
September 11, 1938 after having
served his country for nearly half
a-century including the time he
was at the Naval Academy. The
month of September seems pecu
liarly significant in the career of
Admiral Brumby. He was born in
that month, he began his naval
career in September and he re
tired from his illustrous career in
September.
Prior to World War Two Presi
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt select=-
ed him among others to retain
permanently the rank of Admiral.
Admiral Brumby was a devout
member of the Episcopal church
and though his song career took
him to the far corners of the
world, Athens and his boyhood
home held a strong tie for him and
whenever possible he and his fam~
ily paid yearly visits “back home,”
waere e was atways warmly wel
comeéd by hosts of friends of many
Téars standing.

Airline To Ban

Diaper Specials
OAKLAND, Calif.,, July 18 —
(AP) — Transocean Airlines says
it is through with “diaper. spe
cials.”
And apparently war brides’ ap
peals to Winston Churchill and
Jimmy Roosevelt won’t reverse the
decision.
A Transocean spokesman said
foday there will be no more junk
eting of war brides and their off
spring to Europe because:
1. The Civil Aaeronautics Board
will not permit the specials to fly
via Newfoundland because war
brides aren’t classifiable as reli
gious, education of philanthropic
enterprises.
New Blood Test,
Cancer Fight Aid
PARIS, July 18—(AP)—A new
blood test has so far proved al
most 100 per cent accurate in de
tecting cancer in humans, three
S“&j:: physicians reported today.

(anaer Research Congress the test
is based on a chemical that appears

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Associated Press Service
As, pieced t_o_getfi?r from a dozen
sources in the capital, Mr, Tru
man’s requests to Congress were
expected to include:
An additional $5,000,000,000 to
$6,000,000,000 in military spending
authority.
Permission to increase by 220,~
000 men or more the authorized
strength of the armed forces
—or, about 770,000 above today’s
actual strength. :
Limited powers of priority and
allocation, to channel steel and
other materials into arms produc
tion, by voluntary means if possi
ble and compulsory means if ne
cessary.
Anti-inflation measures includ
ing curbs on consumer credit but
not including the price, wage or
ration powers of World War 11.
Higher taxes have been predict- ‘
ed freely by officials as the Ko
rean “police action” mushromed
into war proportions. Senator Lu
cas of Illinois, Democratic leader
in the Senate, told a reporter,
however, he does not expect that
Mr. Truman will ask higher rates
at this time.
Heavy Burden
There was a growing tendency
in Washington to regard the costs
of Korea as only a first install
ment on a possibly long and heavy
burden of defense spending and
foreign military aid.
Despite the general trend towara
emergency action, the prospect of
harsh federal controls in the near
future abated somewhat. Com
merce Department officials said
they believed a voluntary steel al
location system will suffice for the
munitions program now foreseen.
Mr. Truman is said to share this
view. But he is expected to ask
for mandatory powers, both as a
“persuader” to induce eompliance
in a voluntary system, and as a
last-resert meaesure in munitions
demands grow so heavy as to
break down a voluntary program.
Similarly, while it is probable
that power to curtail automobile,
television and other civilian pro
duction will be sought, Commerce
officials predicted, it will be
“many months” before such au
thority would be used.
g Hopeful View
Obviously, in the background
was the hope that the fighting
may .be confined to Korea and
brought to an end before quantity
limitations on consumer goods be
come necessary.
Mr. Truman’s manpower re
quests, as described by one ad
ministration source, will not in
clude a call for mobilization now
of any of the 27 National Guard
divisions. But it will cover these
demands, he said:
1. Increasing the legal strength
of the Army by 160,000 above the
present limit of 837,000.
2. Adding 60,000 more men te
the authorized strength of the
Navy, now 666,882, :
3. A possible increase in the
502,000-man Air Force.
The three services now are
about 550,000 men short of their
total authorized strength of 2,005,~
882. The Air Force is closer to
full strength than either the Army
or the Navy.
Mrs. Truman is expected to in
form Congress that he is instruct=
ing the Defense Department to
order selected reservists to duty
instead of relying on . volunteers,
as at present.
U. S. Casualties
Heavy, Reds Say
TOKYO, July 18—(AP)—The
North Korean Pyongyang radio as
serted tonight more than 2,500
Argericans were killed and more
than 100 were captured in fighting

The claim covered action to 6
p. m. Monday (3 a. m., EST).
Reports from Eighth Army
headquarters in Korea today in
dicated that U. S. casualties were
light during the last 48 hours.
They said the enemy had suffer
ed heavy losses in breaching the
Kum River line.

Sudden Quietness Of Frontline
TOKYO, Wednesday, July 19.— (AP) —The Communist
invasion of South Korea was at a standstill north and west
of Taejon today, apparently jarred to a halt by the fierce
opposition of the vastly-outnumbered American defenders.,
The situation on the whole Korean front was so quiet
that General MacArthur did not issue his usual early-morn
ing communique. His public information officer said there
was nothing new to report and there was “little enemy
activity.”

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER A CENTURY
Not since late Monday had any
major activity been recorded.
The -Americans standing firm
before Taejon sent out ‘patrols in
quest -of information. American
and Australian planes roamed the
skies Tuesday and reported three
enemy tanks and 28 trucks knock
ed out. They sighted two enemy
planes which fled.
Taejon had been evacuated by
advanced American field head
quarters. The South Korean pro
visional government pulled out
last week.
Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, who
personally led an infantry column
against a Red roadblock in Satur
day’s heavy fighting at the Kum,
said the Communists had not been
able to put their tanks across the
river in force.
At a command post after four
days at the front, Dean, command

General MacArthur in Tokyo
and an Eighth Army spokesman in
Korea reported all American lines

the Reds “almost to a standstill.”
Red Reinforcements
The Reds were reported pouring
reinforcements across the Kum
river. They wrested a foothold
there by sheer manpower from the
thin line of Americans in the
Kongju area, 20 miles northwest
of Taejon. But the spokesman at
Eighth Army headquarters in Ko

tanks had been reported south of
the river.
So quiet were the Reds, Mac-

the out-numbered, battle weary
24th division sent out patrols in
an effort to find out the enemy’s

MacArthur’s communique at

FUCHS RING MEMBER
FBI NABS ENGINEER
FOR ATOMIC SPYING
NEW YORK, July 18.— (AP) —The fourth American
allegedly linked to Russia’s Klaus Fuchs atom spy ring
was seized at his home here last night by the FBI.
He is 32-year-old Julius Rosenberg—a balding, bespee
tacled engineer, married and father of two children,
The Department of Justice charged him with conspiracy
to commit espionage, and said he had recruited for a cloak
and-dagger Soviet spy apparatus that penetrated Amer
ica’s atomic secrets.
He was arrainged and held be
hind bars in lieu of SIOO,OOO bail
for a federal court hearing on Ju
-Ily 31. His attorney insisted he was
innocent.
“Rosenberg is another impor
tant link in the Soviet espionage
apparatus,” FBI director J, Edgar
Hoover said in Washington, where
the arrest was announced.
In the past two months the gov
ernment has arrested taree other
Americans it says were implicated
in the spy ring headed by Dr.
Klaus Fuchs, the German-born
Communist sympathizer who
worked his way to the top of Bri
tain’s atomic program.
Fuchs confessed and now is ser
ving a long prison term in England.
The three Americans seized as a
result of Fuchs’ disclosures werel
Harry Gold, a Philadelphia Bio
chemist; Alfred Dean Slack, a
scientist, of Syracuse, N. Y. and
David Greenglass, a New York ma
chinist and former U. S. army ser
geant,
All were charged with wartime
espionage—a charge that can mean
the death penalty.
The FBI announcement said the
American-born Rosenberg’s part in
the ring was the recruiting of
Greenglass—then stationed at the
Atomic bomb laboratories at Los
Alamos, N. M.—to work with Gold.
Like a caracter in a fictional spy
drama, Rosenberg gave Greenglass
an oddly cut top from a Jello box
to be matched with the other half
as a recognition signal with Gold,
