Five Percent Price Control
Measure Beaten In House
‘Standby Bill’
Passage Still
Being Pressed
TVASHINGTON, Aug. 9 — (AP)
—"The House defeated today a pro
posal to compel the President to
impose wage and price controls
when living costs reach 5 per cent
above what they were on June 15.
The proposal was embodied in
an amendment to a standby con
trols bill offered by Rep. McKin
non (DeCalif.) It was knocked
down by overwhelming voice vote
after McKinnon_invited its defeat.
He told the House “a very good
bill” had been drafted earlier to
dav by the House Banking Com
mittee. i 1
The committee’s bill, on which
the House hoped to reach a final
vote late today or sometime to
morrow, would give the President
broad powers to control wages and
prices, to impose rationing, to
curb the extension of credit, to
make production loans and to set
up a program of allocations and
priorities to channel scarce materi
als into essential places and speed
ip defense production. 5
In most respects the bill is sim
ilar to one approved Monday by
the Senate Banking Committee,
The major difference is that the
Senate bill would keep the powers
in effect until June 30, 1952. The
House bill would end them one
vear earljer.
Committee members said there
was sharp disagreement on wheth
er to give the President power to
ict eredit used to finance reat
estate eonstruction and to curb
speculation on commodity markets.
Republicans and Southern Demo
crats were expected to make a
fight agalnst both proposals on the
House floor. &
Long Debate
The bill was worked out lgte
vesterday by the House Banking
Committee, after a week of debate
in the House itself had produced
no results. :
It also coincides with the type
of legislation the President has in
dicated he would accept. It con
fains no mandatory provisions and
no “trigger” clauses requiring the
President to use the powers be
fore he wants to.
Leaders of both g:)litical parties
had said ear Her they would go
along with an “acceptable’” conie
promise in order to break the
House deadlock. .

Athenian Awarded Silver Star
For Bravery In Korea Fighting
A notification from the War Department today brought a meas
ure of relief to Mrs. John D. Parks, of 266 King avenue, as she
learned of the Silver Star award made to her brother, Corporal
Aubrey H. Brewer, of Athens.
The message was received on the Associated Press wire in the
Banner-Herald office this morning. Mrs, Parks had received no
word from her brother sinee a letter was received by her sister on
August 1 stating that he had been moved to Japan from the front
in Korea, :
This mornlng‘l communigue was an annocuncement from the
34th Infantry Regiment headquarters of the 24th Infantry Division
which has been in the front line action since the outbreak of the
Korean fighting. It listed Corporal Brewer as one of four Silver
Star award winners trom the 34% Regiment who were decorated
for gallantry in action while under heavy fire.
Corporal Brewer was a resident of Athens for about six months
preceding his enlistment in the Army at the age of 17 in September,
1946. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Brewer, of Homer, Ga.
While a resident of Athens, he lived with his sistef, Mrs. Parks, on
King avenue, and gave her address as his home upon induction
into the armed services. He was employed by the Webb-Crawford
Company during his stay in Athens.

—Wnited Nations Security €ouncil |
members mapped strategy today to
break Russian President Jacob A.
Malik’s one-man stranglehold and
filibuster which has stopped the
Gouncil in its tracks.
The Russians were not invited
to the informal conferences which
occupied most other delegations,
The Council recessed yesterday
until Thursday afternoon after
getting nowhere in one of the most
bitter, heated sessions since Malik
took over the presidency Aug. 1.
Taking the floor when he wished
as Soviet delegate, Malik threw
another resolution into the Coun
cil, this one seeking to condemn
the U. S. Air Force for bombings
in North Korea. He did this after
making new charges that the U. 8.
is the aggressor in Korea, dictating
the role the U. N. is {)}aying.
Warren R. Austin, U. S. delega=
tion chief, retorted pointedly:
) Who hasn't cooperated with 83

The areas in the order in which
they will be affected are: Tallassee

Two areas will receive tele

They are the Epps Bridge, and
the Mars Hill areas.
Work has already begun in
some of these areas, and Mr. Mc-
Dowell hopes to have the whole
program completed by the first
quarter of 1951. -
Priority for service improve
ments is determined by applica=
tions filed by the residents of the
area. The section where applica=
tions for service have been pend~
ing for the longest period of time
will be considered first,
A new _building to house the
present facilities of the company
and a dial system exchange is still
in the planning stages. Although
conduit, and underground -cables
for the present project are being
laid near the site of the future
home, at the corner of Reese and
Pulaski streets, it does not mean
that construction of the mew build
ing will begin in the foreseeable
future.
“With an eye toward the fu
ture”, McDowell explained, “All
improvements and extentions of
telephone services are being en
gineered with the dial system as
our eventual goal”.
As of July 1, 1950 there were
8,796 telephones in operation in
Athens, with 1,825 other lines
available for use im various secs

system is planned for the future,
the goal at present is to give more

U. S. Pincers Closing Big Trap
TOKYO, Thursday, Aug. 10.— (AP) —North Koreans
today retreated before U. S. onslaughts on the southern
and western fronts and pilots said the enemy was prepar
ing to flee his southern base at Chinju.
U. S. patrols were only seven miles east of that bomb
wreeked city 55 miles west of the main supply port of
Pusan. Chinju is the apparent objective of a U. S. counter
offensive on the south coast.
Council Adops
Restrictions
Against Taxies
Three New Regulations
Added To Ordinance On
City’s Transportation
Three new regulations restriet
ing solicitation of passengers on
city bus routes by operators of
faxi - caps and private vehicles
were adopted by Mayor and
Council in a special meeting last
night, . ies
The new rules, which were
passed unanimously as amend
ments to the transportation ordi
nance, make it illegal for (1) taxi
cabs to solicit passengers on a
bus route; (2) taxi cabs to accept
a passenger on a bus route unless
passenger hag telephoned for the
cab; anyone (private vehicles in
cluded) to stop their vehicle in a
bus loading zone.
Varying only slightly from the
original ordinance, the amend
ments make it illegal for cabs to
solicit passengers on bus routes,
whereas the old ordinance only
made it prohibitive at bus stops.
* Effective Times .
The new regulations are in
effect only during the hours when
the city buses are in operation:
6:30 a. m. to 9:30 p. m. daily and
7 a. m. to 6 p. m. Sunday. »
The amendments were read by
City Attorney James Barrow and
recommendation came for their
passage from Mayor Pro-Tem F.
H. Williams, who as chairman
represented the special transpor
tation conmittee. Mayor and
Council, following the committee’s
recommendation, took no action on
a new franchise for Athens City
Lines and none on a proposed
ordinance that would make faxi
cabs pick up a person or group of
persons at one point and carry

BY RUSSELL BRINES
General MacArthur’s war sunr
mary said American forces farther
south had run into heavy opposi=
tion in their attempt to trap North
Korean troops by linking up with
the main body east of Chinju.
This pincers southeast of Chinju
last was reported within seven
miles of closing., |~
Gains averaging about three
miles were reported along the
southern front.
The summary, covering fighting
of the past 24 hours, said two en
emy battaligns — possibly 1,600
men — supported by tanks were
“eliminated” from one bridgehead
on the Naktong river.
But the enemy still was trying
to reach the river line, which pro
tects Taegu, front line city and
refugee South Korean capital 55
miles northwest of Pusan.
- The enemy was putting the
pressure along the northern front
—the roof of the shrunken Allied
position in southeast Korea.
South Koreans were forced to
make a two-mile withdrawal at
unspecified points on the northern
sector, the headquarters summary
reported.
The North Koreans also were
building up their forces in the
Yongdok center, on the east coast
end of the front.
’ In combat ranging from bayo
‘net attacks to tank-busting, Am
erican doughboys forced the Reds
to retreat in the deep south.
South Koreans slammed invad
ers back across the Naktong river
on the central front.
American attacks in the South
picked up momentum and reeled
the Reds backward toward ruined
Chinju, Communist base.
The Fifth Regimental combat
team was only seven miles from a
link-up with the 35th Regimental
combat team. i
The juncture may trap many
Red troops. The Americans had
been bogged down for two days
near Chingdong. They jumped off
before dawn Wednesday on the
new attack. Marines were rolling
ahead with them.
Defenders of the Naktong river
line to the north shoved the Reds
out of two river crossing bridge
heads. The U. S. 24th Division
herded others into an open spot
fromr the hills and poured artillery
fire into them.
Threats Eased
Serious threats to the important
Taegu area on the central front
were eased by American and
South Korean successes. The
cheering news was given in a U.
S. Bth y communique issued
at 6:30 piim. (3:30 a. m., EST)
Wednesday.
The close fighting took place in

A bristling resolution at the

clared the Supreme Court has set
out doctrine which clearly would
end racial segregation from kin

But it asserted that the recent
rulings outlawing segregation in
Texas and Oklahoma cases are un

The resolution pledges all Dem

The statement was offered by

Just what Georgia would do if

it would be up to the ecourts to

12 U. S. And British
Divisions Foreseen
Obstacle To Attacks
PARIS, Aug. 9—(AP)—A high
French official said today that six
American and six British divis
ions stationed in Germany would
keep a Russian attack awa{ from
western Europe for at least a
year, and perhaps permanently,
In that year, he said, Europe
could go a long way toward es
tablishing its own adequate de
fense force—providing all-out,
American aid was given.
The official, who asked that his
name be withheld, said the actual
presence of more American froops
would remove one great European
fear— the belief that Russian at
tack would result in quick eecu
pation of all of Europe before
America came to the rescue.
The presence of American sol
diers, he continued, would con
vince the Russians even more than
U. 8. action in Korea that aggres
sion in Europe would mean imme
diate war with the United States.
Quick American assistance in
Korea has helped to convince the
French the United States weould
come quickly so Europe’s rescue in
the case of a Russian attack.
But the conviction is not deep
rooted. The French remember that
American aid came in the First
World war only after France was
nearly beaten, and in the Second
War only after the country had
been thoroughly beaten and long
occupied.
What France wants this time is
cash in advance — in the form of
American troops aiready on the
spot. Evidently this- was empha
sized at the recent meeting of At
lantic Pact deputies in London.
’ In return for this commitment
of American troops to European
soil, France evidently would ac
gept an American commander
| over all forces in Germany. These
{ probably would include many of
|the 15 new divisions France has
| agreed to form. If an attack eomes,
| this country wants the initial ma-
Ljor blow to come between the
| Elbe and the Rhone, not between
[ the Rhine and the Seine. &
| As an immediate defense meas
{ ure, France wants to g 0 ahead with
| development of its light tank and
lits new bazooka. The French be
lieve both are better than Ameri=
can weapons of a like type. They
want American money to start
