200 Manufacturers Told To Begin
Production Now, Talk Terms Later
WASHINGTON, July 29.— (AP)—The Air Force flash
ed 200 manufacturers a signal today to go ahead with the
production of more than $4,000,000,000 worth of airplanes
and parts.
The industry was directed to get busy with the job and
negotiate contracts later,
Letters of intent, authorizing the companies to proceed
while Congress is completing action on appropriations and
contracts are being worked out, were sent to the manufac
turers.
An Air Force spokesman said
the orders cover the entire Air
Force procurement program for
the fiscal year that began July 1.
This includes orders contempla-
ted-in the regular defense appro
priation for the current fiscal year,
and additional billions that will
be provided under the additional
$10,000,000,000 defense appropria
tion asked recently by President
Truman.
The companies were asked to
advise the air force how many ad
ditional employes will be needed.
Asked what the purpose of this
step is, an Air Force spokesman
said it is to give the factories
“something they can start getting
employes with.”
He-said nodetails ds to the names
of the companies receiving the let
ters of intent and the types and
number of planes to be produced
will be made public. :
Actually, this spokesman added,
the number of planes each compa
ny will produce is not fixed in the
letters of intent.
“We gave them a rough idea,”
he told reporters. “That's subject
to further negotiations.”
Asked if the additional produc
tion is a step toward a 69-group
air force, he said it is—keeping in
mind that the air force must pass
through the 58-group stage before
it can reach 69 groups. AF plans
to go up to 58 groups in 12 months
and 69 groups in January, 1953.
were anmounced Thursday by
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the
House Armed Service committee.
At present, the regular air force
has 48 groups. Approximately
$800,000,000, provided by Congress
to start building toward a 70-
group air force were impounded
by President Truman last year,
Guadalcanal Vet
Says Korea Worse
FAIRFIELD, Calif., July 29 —
(AP) — A Guadalcanal veteran,
wounded in the Korean war, says
«Gnadalcanal was nothing in com=
parison” to Korea.
“This one is really tough,” de
clared Pfc. George J. Stakes, 47,
of Chicago. He was one of 18
wounded veterans of the 24th In
fantry Division who reached here
yesterday in the third plane bear=
ing wounded from Korea. Stakes
has spent 17 years in the service.
“Those young boys are really
doing fine,” Stakes sald. “They
do need better morale and better
equipment.”
His comment on the need for
machines, rather than men, pretty
well summed up the feeling of &l
the wounded.

TREACHEROUS KOREAN BATTLEGROUND-—Somewhere in South Korea, American troops of
* the First Cavalry Division eat a hasty meal in the field before moving up to the front. Note the
steep mountainside in background overlooking a narrow, dirt road. In mountainous terrain like
this, guerrilla troops are able to dig in with light weapons and do heavy damage to columns of
troops and armor moving down the roads. *(Photo by NEA-Acme staff photographer Ed Hoffman.)
All persons must register with
the Board within at least five days
after becoming 18 years of age.
As the law now Sstands every
young man in Clarke county who
has reached his eighteenth birth
day should have a record at the
Selective Service office which is
located on the third floor of the
Court House here. %
Change of Status -~
The Board also announced that
men having a reason fgr change
of status since their registration
with the board should report to
the Seiective Service office and
notify the officials there of the
change.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the
board reported that all veterans
who have not reregistered under
the peace time draft law must do
so before the end of July. The
law requires that all men within
the 18-26 age limits, whether they
have served in the armed setvices
previous to now or not, must be
on file at the local office.
The board files show that quite
a few young veterans have failed
to reregister under the assumption
that they are still registered be
cause they served in the last war.
This is not true, however, and any
Athenian who is under this as
sumption should contact the local
office before the July deadline.
Second Call
Nothing has been received by
the local board concerning Presi
dent Truman’s call for an increase
of 80,000 draftees. The first call
went out to twenty men from Ath
ens and Clarke county and has
been filled beginning with the 25
year old 1-A men.
Under the new draft law, the
office of Selective Service has
been opeped on four days a week
and put’ on a thirty-two hour
week basis. The office is in the
Clarke County Court House, and
someone is on duty there from
8:30 until 5:30 every Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday to
aid Clarke countians in registra
tion proceedures.

Numbers Racket Is Smashed Here Again;
Negro Woman Arrested In Raid By Police
BY ED THILENIUS
The Numbers Racket has been knocked out again in
Athens. ?
A raid by city police early yesterday morning gained the
following results:
One negro woman arrested; a headquarters uncovered
and some valuable information for pslice on how the “bug”
racket is worked. = 5
Arrested was Mozell Fleming,
36, colored. She was charged with
operating a lottery and posted
1,000 bond yesterday afternoon
with the Sheriff’s office.
The raid on the negro woman’s
home at Broad Acres Apartment,
number 14, was staged by Chief
Clarence Roberts, Capt. Cor
nelison, Detective Hardy and Of
ficer Tom McGahee. The arrest
also was the climax of a two
month extensive investigation by
the city police and the Sheriff’s
office. Sheriff Huff was unable to
be in at the finish, being tied up
HOW-TO-WIN BCCKS FOUND
’ with other matters. -
Chief Roberts said the Fleming
' woman’s apartment was believed
to be the headquarters for players
in the city. Large quantities of
books, numbers tickets and other
material was picked up in the raid.
Some of this material will give
the police department more
knowledge of how the number’s
racket is worked.
Winning Books
For instance, 13 books, on how
to play the number’s racket, along
with “sure-fire” winning schemes
were confiscated. The bocks range
in »rice from 35 cents to $2.
The books explain, for example
to the beginner, that the number’s
racket has three main titles in its
operation. There is the banker, the
| writer, and the player. The banker
lis the person who collects the
money played, and pays off the
| winners. The writer is more or
| less an agent who writes out re
ceipts for players and spreads the
game to more players.
The Fleming woman was more

TOKYO, Sunday, July 30.— (AP)—Under stern orders
to die if necessary but not to retreat, American forees
Korea braced for new Communist assaults today aftér givw
= ing up one position on the vital central sector. 2
First Cavalry Division units abandoned the rail amd
highway town of Hwanggan early Saturday, then sent pa
trols back into the No-Man’s Land. Field dispatches said
the orderly withdrawal was made to consolidate defense
lines some eight miles northeast of Yongdong.
Hwanggan is on the main railroad to Pusan, main U. 8
supply port 85 miles to the southeast.
Patrols found no North Korean
troops had entered Hwanggan by
midday Saturday. :
However, the North KXoreans
were rushing up masses of artil-
Jery, including at least one thought
to be a railway gun, through a rail
tunnel that U. 8. Navy skip-bom=
bers had closed Friday. The Reds
used horses and manpower to haul
up a score of guns in an arc three
to five miles from the western
most American position, the dis
patches said.
American artillery hammered
away at these enemy concentra
tions in a heavy barrage Saturday
afternoon. i
General MacArthur’'s war sum
mary early Sunday did not men
tion Hwanggan but said there was
“no wepreciable change” in the
central sector. It apparently was
not so recent as the field accounts.
Attacks Halted |
Breakthrough attempts by the‘
ecream of the Norin Korean Red
army had beaten repeatedly
against the U. S. First Cavalry and
25th Division defense lines, since
dawn Friday, byt “have been
thrown back,” headquarters said.
Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker,
commander of the U. S. Eighth
Army, conferred with his two di
visional commanders Saturday.
He told Maj. Gen. Hobart R.
Gay of the First Cavalry and Maj.
Gen. William B. Kean of the 25th,
“Everyone must fight to the death
without any thought of withdraw
ak. Everyone in this Army knows
lv;le must hold along lines we now
ave.”
The orders were passed on to
the fighting fronts as quickly as
couriers could take them. They
attended to the grim decision,
reached possibly earlier in the
week during a personal visit by
General MacArthur to the battle
front, to hold present lines until
reinforcements arrive.
New Troops
(The First Marine Division and
the Second U. S. Army division
are enroute to Korea after em
barking from the U. S. West
Coast at varying times more than

that “there’s no thought in the
