There are almost four times as many’ & tsin laying
flocks in thigssection of Georgia now as“. re were one
vear ago and farmers selling eggs from these flocks will be
said around $400,000 during the next year by Georgia
Legs, Ine., tocal-egg marketing concern. i,
In announcing these figures on extra income to be pro
suced from a commercial egg program, John Mauldin,
manager of Georgia Eggs, Inc., called attention to an ex
pansion program now underway in the organization which
vill enable farmers to sell eggs through one of the most up
to-date marketing systems in this section of the country. |
Expansion Drive l'in our county,” he said.
The expansion drive for Geor
ia Eggs, Inc, is being led by
nembers of the Athens “Get It
Done Club,” of which Howard
3encon is chairman. J. Smiley
volfe is president of Georgia
Zggs, Inc. A meeting of the Get.
It Done Club is scheduled for
Wednesday night, August 9, and
nyone interested in the develop
ment of this market is invited to
attend.
In citing the increased interest.
in egg production in this secpion,‘
Mauldin said that 204,000 pullets
are now eoming into production
on. farms in the 20 surrounding
counties. He paid tribute to coun
iy agents, vocational agricultural
reachers, veteran instructors, home
demonstration agents and others
who have helped promote the pro
ject since the marketing organi
zation was set up on the College
of Agriculture campus here one
_\’em‘ ago. Boiag i#o TVRE B
\lanldin continued that there ¥s
a great need for additional expan
sion in eggs production here, be~
cause & high percentage of the
eggs bought on the Atlanta mar-.
ket and other markets in the state
come from out-of-state producers.
New Dollars
“If we ecan provide the facilities
for handling a large volume of
eggs during the coming yer,”
Mauldin eontinued, “we can ex
pect to market 40,000 cases of
eggs through Georgia Eggs, Inc.,
within the next 12 months. This
will be new dollars and new busi
ness and this sum can have a fa
vorable effect on Athens busi
nesses.” *
In this report the market mxx
ager explained that Georgia Eggs,
Inc., began operation a year ago
through the efforts of the Athens
Chamber of Commerce. The rurai
development committee of the
chamber explored farming opers
ations in this section and decided
that an egg market could serve a
worthwhile “purpose in Athens
and would broaden the already
diversified farm program in near
by counties. * :
“At that time,” Mauldin stated,
“there were fewer than 60,000
commereial laying- hens in the
area, owned by 140 farmers. But
even this number of producers had
no certain markets after they sup
lied regular customers in nearby
communities.” _
A good many farmers were in<
terested in beginning small poul
ry flocks, however, and the ex
panded program already evident
after one year indicates that the
market is serving these new pro=
ducers ag well as the old ones.

Only persons in the 19 through
25 age group can be drafted now,
although 18-year-olds must reg
ister.
If you are in the right age
bracket,and have a job, it's up to
your local draft board to decide
whether your type of work is of
the kind and importance to war
rant a deferment. The board is
supposed to defer anyone whose
employment of occupation ‘‘is
found to be necessary to the main
tenance of national health, safety,
or interests.”
Nobody is giving the board yet
a definite list of jobs the govern
ment considens vital. So the board
is on its own to a large extent, and
it has pretty wide discretion.
The commerce and labor de
partment have given the armed
services lists of critical occupa=-
tions to use as a guide in calling
up members of the reserves and
national guard, but selective ser=
vice shows little interest in such
lists. After all, its job isn’t to see
that business has enough man
power, but that armed forces do.
Still, selective service might get
around later on to using job lists.
It had them during World War 11,
although only for purposes of ad
vising draft boards.
: Job Nature
Either you or your boss ean ask
for a deferment because of the
naiure of your job. And the board
has to be convinced you can’t be
replaced and that putting you in
uniform would mean a “material
loss of effectiveness’ in the activi=
ty in which you are engaged.
Suppose your boy is going tfo
school and is eligible for the draft.
He can stay in high school until
he graduates, reaches his 20th
birthday or fails to do satisfacto
ry work. If the draft board thinks
he is trying to flunk so he can
stay in school longer, it can draft

Decide Against ‘
State Candid ‘le
Ceorgia Party Votes
All-Out Fight Against
County Unit Extension
ATLANTA, Aug. 5§ — (AP) —
Georgia Republicans decided to
day not to enter a candidate for
Governor this year, but to wage
an all-out fight against extension
of the county unit system to gen
eral elections.
The decision came unanimously
but reluctantly at a meeting®f the
Republican State Central Commit
tee.
Many members said they longed
‘to start campaigns for state .of
fices in a vigorous effort to free
Georgia “from the political bond
' age of its one-party system.”
; But, they concluded a proposed
| congtitutional amendment extend
ing the wunit system to general
| elections is even more important.
! The amendment will be voted up
on—by popular vote—in this
year’s November election,
Noting that Republican strength
| is likely to be concentrated in
| larger cities, which bhave little
| political power under the unit
system, Republican leader Elbert
| Tuttle of Atlanta declared:
| “Passage of this amendment will
| make it impossible ever to or
ganize a second political party in
this state. We must put first things
first.”
The committee passed a resolu
tion directing its officers and dis=-
trict chairmen to lead the cam
paign against™ the amendment.
Members urged the greatest pre
cinct-by-precinct organization by
i Republicans in Georgia's history.
i "National Republican Commit
| teeman Harry Sommers of Atlan
| ta said the GOP simply doesn't
| have the organization or the fi
‘nances now to make a creditable
race for Governor.
! Organization Weak
This lack of organization, other
leaders added, robs the party “of
a great opportunity to oppose Gov.
Herman Talmadge. Many Geor
gians are giek of this administra
tion.”
i ruttle said Georgia is in the
grips of a political machine
l “which is one of the worst in the
United States. And every effort
!Kis being made to make it impos
sible to contest this dynasty.”
| Leaders suggested if the-GOP
opposed Talmadge, it would
stimulate more than the usual
number of Talmadge supporters
to vote in ‘the general election.
These Talmadge voters also would
favor the county unit amendment,
they reasoned.
Leaders said they had been
urged by many Democrats to put
up opposition to Talmadge.
Vice-Chairman John Wesley
Dobbs of Atlanta told the com
mittee that in some counties—he
mentioned Wilkes and Ware—ne
groes are being purged from vot
ing lists. The commifee passed a
resolution supporting the right of
| all qualified citizens to vote.

Soviet UN Veto Could
Hamper Future Action
Diplomats Still Await Answer
As Tc'Why Reds Ended Boycott
BY FRANCIS W. CARPENTER
LLAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 5. — (AP) — Delegates in the
United Nations say a Soviet veto cannot stop the U. N. war
effort against invading Communist North Koreans now,
but could frustrate the Security Council if the Communists
start trouble anywhere else.
If a new Communist outbreak occurs and the Russians
block the Council by a veto, the West will go promptly to
the General Assembly for collective action.
U. N. diplomats have waited
vainly this week for Soviet Depu
ty Foreign Minister Jakob A.
Malik to show just why he re
turned to the Security Council last
Tuesday after a half-year boy
cott. He did introduce yesterday a
two-point peace program for Ko~
rea, but the view of some diplo
mate is that he came back really
to isolate the United States from
its allies in the U. N. However,
they still are waitihg to be sure
of the real reason for interrupting
the boycott.
An American spokesman gave
this sizeup tocday:
This country will continue to
oppose Malik’s attempt to invite
the Communist North Koreans 16
the council table. Most members
take the attitude that you cannot
discuss a settlement with a fire
bug and that inviting the North
Koreans here to talk about a
peaceful settlement would be like
asking to tea a man who had
burned down your front porch.
The issue beyond all doubt is the
refusal of the North Koreans to
obey the ceasg-fire and withdraw=
al order laid down by the Securi

MacArthur Says U. . Patrols
Keeping Enemy " Off Balance™
TOKYO, Sunday, Aug. 6. — (AP) — Numerous Nerth
Korean patrols slipped across the Naktong river teday
along a 40-mile front, feeling out Allied positions for the
big blow, expected momentarily.
The Communists are expected to unlimber two attacks
in an attempt to blast reinforced U. S. and South Kereas
divisions from the southeast beachhead, now 50 milew
wide by about 100 miles long. :
A field dispatch said major patrol activity was along the
river southwest of Taegu. This is the frontline supply eity,
55 miles northwest of the beachhead port of Pusan.
One of the major attacks is ex~
pected in this area. The other un
doubtedly will roll up along the
south coast, where four enemy
divisions are ready to attack 35
miles west of Pusan.
Other Communist patrols were
across the river 40 mileg or so
north of Taegu. The South Ko
reans, defending this part of the
front, swapped patrol jabs with
the enemy. So did the Americans
farther south.
here still was no evidence that
the enemy had infantry in force
or any tanks across the Naktong,
the last-ditch defense line for the
Americans in Korea,
General MacArthur's Sunday
morning summary said U. S. and
South Korean patrols had kept
ihe enemy “off balance” in action
that lasted through Saturday and
Saturday night.
The North Koreans were dar
ingly massing in daylight, despite
the threat of the aerial wrath that
they can expect from superior al
lied air-power. hey have been
moving mostly by night.
MacArthur's headquarters said
their switch to daytime movements
of men and supplies indicated they
“are desperately striving for a
main effort and an all-out at
teempt to break through the new
defense lines.” S
In the north and central sectors,
these new lines generally follow
the east (left) banks of the mean
dering Naktong river,
In the southern erisis area,
however, the river curves sharply
eastward, so the American line
leaves it and mérches south across
the marshy coastal plain.
It was in that southernmost
spot that the Reds were massing
their greatest strength.
Rain Comes
Taking advantage of a rain
storm Saturday afternoon, they
also made unopposed crossing of
the Naktong in the mountainous
north. South Koreans had made a
planned withdrawal to ridges
there, and the enemy crossing east
and southeast of Sanju were not
regarded as an immediate threat.
This was near the hinge of the
defense lines, where American and
South Korean forces join. .
Most immediate danger points
were in the south and center.
The Reds had three divisions in
the central sector and four of
their finest in the south. =
These could develop simultan
eous strikes at Taegu in the cen
ter and towards the vital port of
Pusan in the south. a 4
Twin assaults were expected at
any moment. Except for the vic
ious* give and take of limited raids,
mainly in the south and involv
ing the U. S. 27th and 35th Infan
try regiments, the front had been
relatively quiet for three days.
AP Correspondent Leif Erickson
noted from Eighth U. S. Army
field headquarters that this was
one of the longest lulls since the
