PACK ' FROM LONDON
Britain To " Measure
Up” In U.S. Support
‘There’s not the slightest doubt that ‘when the chips
are down’ Great Britain will fling her total resources in
support of the United States in any military contingency.”
The speaker was Thomas A.
Dozier, native Athenian, who left
here for a newspaper career in
the middle 1930 s and has since
globe-trotted almost continuously,
spending the past two years as
assistant diréctor of the Time and |
Life magazine bureau in London.
Mr. and Mrs, Dozier and two
children, Michele, eight-and-a
half, and David Thomas, ‘nearing
five, are spending their vacation
with his aunts, Mrs. William Gun
‘ter and Mrs: Gussie Barber, in
‘Commerce, and he was in Ath
ens a few days ago renewing old
friendships.
He is the son of the late Mr,
and Mrs. Olin Dozier, and a mem
ber of one of this section’s most
prominent families. After gradu
ating from Athens High School,
where he was the first editor of
the Thumb Tack Tribune, school
newspaper, Mr. Dozier attended
the University of Georgia, gradu
ating in 1931. For a time he was
Student Assistant in the Henry W.
-Grady School of Journalism.
Started Here
His newspaper career started on
the Banner-Herald, and the path
then led him to the Atlanta Con
stitution and on to the copy desk
of the Nashville Banner. He re
turned to Atlanta to cover the
state house for the United Press
and then went to Birmingham as
Bureau Manager for the United
Press, a post he filled for twe
years,
His ability proven, the United
Press transferred Mr. Dozier to its
all-important Washington Bureau,
where he served on the desk for
four years in the Foreign De
partment,
In 1941 he became connected
with the government and, after
serving a spell in the army, went
into the diplomatic service, fol
‘lowed by two years in Lima, Peru,
with ' the 'Nelson Rockefeller
Foundation, building goodwill in
South America,
He was then returned to Wash
ington and made head of the La-~
tin-American office of Interna
tional Information and Education.
Because of his wide experience
and thorough knowledge of his
subject, Mr. Dozier was grabbed
by Time Magazine and put in
charge of its Latin news division.‘

Three volunteer Red Cross
workers have taken on the job of

Winters of Los Angeles, Mrs. Ar

“You can’t always tell a casual
ty evac,” Mrs. Winters said. “Most
of them seem stunned. Or else
they are past the stage of tears.
And then, too, its a hard job for
them, keeping the children from
getting lost in this crowd, getting
out of the waiting rborn and all.”

Queen Elizabeth when news of the
Korean fighting broke, so he miss
ed the on-the-spot rezction in
Britain but he feels certain that
Britain will do her full share and
said that British warships have
already joined those of the United
States and other nations in bom
barding North Korean coast in
stallations, |
He said that since he had been
back in the United States he had
heard some criticism of the Bri
tish by people: who wondered
“what's Britain doing.” He point
ed out that for the past two years
Britain has been engaged in simi
lar action in Malaya, though not on
as large a scale as the Korean
combat.,
He said that despite the fact
‘that Britain is now governed by
a socialistic regime, there is no
}doubt whatever that Britain will
measure up to the fullest in co
operation and material aid on the
side of the United States in war.
Asked about what is commonly
called socialized medicine in Eng
land, Mr. Dozler did not endorse or
condemn it, but merely said that
it was succeeding both from a
-humanitarian and political stand
peint and that it is very unlikely
‘the system would be scrapped or
changed very greatly in the event
'a conservative government re
places the present one.

Persons facing right angles to
the explosion have suffered severe
burns on the side nearest the blast
and none on the other side. The
hands of a man writing before a
window were seriously burned
But his face and neck were not.
They were farther back into the

Protection against gamma rays
and neutrons is more difficult.
But their lethal range is shorter
than that of blast and flash —
about BGOO feet for gamma rays
and a half-mile for neutrons.
Shelters with concrete walls up
to two feet thick are suggested as
protection against gamma rays
and neutrons. But of course such
shelters are not always praectic
able. In addition, many of the per
sons close enough to tQe blast to
be killed by nuclear radiation
would also be killed by flash or
blast effect.
Normally, clothing will keep
much redioactive materiali from

tamination of exposed parts can
be arrived at by a good old soap
and water scrubbing. Pay particu
lar attention to hair, nails, skin
folds and areas surrounding body
openings. And be careful not to
cause a break in the skin.

New State Income Tax
By CHARLES BARRETT
'ATLANTA, Aug. 12— (AP)~A revolutionary new state
income tax plan is under serious study at the capitol.
It would make the state income levy simply a certain
percentage—say ten per cent—of the federal income tax.
And state insome taxes would be withheld from pay
rolls just like the federal levies are now. .
House Speaker Fred Hand of
Pelman said today this drastic,
far-reaching change is being con
sidered in preliminary, informal
talks among state leaders.
Gov. Herman Talmadge, Hand
and others are beginning to work
out a tax plan te be offered the
legislature in January. The House
speaker emphasized that the talks,
which will continue, are explora
tory — sentiment has not crystal
lized yet.
" Prevailing opinion is that the
legislature will enact a three per
cent general sales tax, in addition
to income tax changes.
The governor reportedly is
ready to scrap for some plan to
finance his program of about $50,-
000,000 more in state funds for
the minimum foundation program
for education, for roads, health
and welfare, .
He stressed such an expansion
plan during his campaign and hit
‘hard for it repeatedly this week—
in speeches to the State Democrat«
ic Convention, the Georgia Press
Association, and in the party plat
form.
House Speaker Hand said the
‘mew income tax idea has some
good points but also some defects.
It would greatly simplify income
taxes. Under this scheme the only
question is how much you paid the
federal government. It saves long
computations .to determine. the
state income tax, and let’s the fed
eral government assume more re
sponsibility for auditing and en
forcing.

Also, the plan would reach
DEAN ISSUES REPORT
Journalism School Convenfions
Set All-Time Attendance Record
An All-time attendance record
was set at the numerous institutes
co-sponsored on the University
campus here by the Henry W. Gra
dy School of Journalism, it was
revealed yesterday through the
annual report of Dean John E.
Drewry, of the journalism school.
Also, a record was attained in
the number of speakers of national
prominence addressing the various
groups, including the Georgia
Institute, Industrial Editors In
and Collegiate Press Association
convention.
The dean’s report emphasized
the obligations of professional
schools over and above the field
in instruction.
~ “Through these projects we have
tried to extend the educational
usefulness of the Grady School be
yvond the geographical limits of
the Athens campus,” the dean said.
Thousands Attend
" Besides the abundance of na
tionally-known leaders coming to
the campus, the institutes brought
thousands of practioners as dele
gates aand program participants.
The George Foster Peabody
Radio aand Television Awards,
~which are administered by the
' School, were awarded for the 10th
year at a meeting of the Radio
Executive Club of New York
which assembled several hundred
leading broadcasters at the Hotel
Roosevelt.
More than a thousand high
school and college editors were
brought* to the campus by the
Georgia Scholastice Press Associa
tion and the Georgia Collegiate
Press Associaticn, which are spon
sored by the School.
Part of Dean Drewery’s revort
concerns research in journalism
being conducted by Grady School
faculty members. Two professors,
John E. Talmadge and Louis T.
Griffith, are currently working on
“A Historv of Georgia Journalism”
which will be published soon.
The report also includes an ac
count of work now keing done by
alumni. Among honors coming to

young people of our community.
C. A. P. Encampment
The annual encampment C. A.
P. units in the southeastern area
which is being held at Warner
Robins Air Base at the present
time. was also discussed at the
meeting. It was brought out that
there are about 48 girls training
along with 250 boys at this year’s
encampment. Also that the train
ing this year differs from previous
years in that virtually no class
room activities are scheduled.
Interest in the meeting was
sparked late yesterday afternoon
by a formation of six private
planes over the eity. Another
plane with a publie address system
announced the meeting time and
place.
All members are asked to have
their application forms completed
by the meeting next Friday night
which wiill be held in the Armory
beginning at 8:0 oclock.
thousands of Georgians who are
not paying the present state tax.|
Many are not paying state taxes
now under high state exemptions.
Many others simply evade the
state income tax, but a payroll
deduction plan would catch them.
One objection is that such a
scheme would make state income
dependent upon federal action. If
federal income taxes are raised or
lowered, state levies automatically
would follow suit.. But this could
be met by adjusting the percent
age in the state rate. -
Under study now is a percent
age of the ten percent for individ
uals. That is, if you paid S3OO in
federal income taxes, you simply
would pay SSO to the state.
The general rate under study for
corporations is 15 per cent of the
federal income tax. For corpora
tions which operate under state
franchise, the percentage would
be higher. Under consideration is
‘a - rate of 25 per -ment formost
‘utilities and raiiroads, 30 per cent
for trucking firms which use tax
paid public highways, with other
variations for banks.
These corporations, in turn
would be freed from some of their
present state taxes. ° |
But generally speaking, both in
dividuals and corporations would
pay more. ; :
The idea is to fix a flat rate that 1
would be fair to everybo&v.
Pending further investigation
and discussion, neither Talmadge
nor speaker Hand is going on rec
ord plumping for specific new
taxes. % :
Grady faculty members during the
year is “Contemporary Journa
lism” edited by Dean Drewry. The
book is a compilation of some of
the outstanding addresses made at
institutes sponsored by the Grady
School during the 1948-49 school
term.
A new journalism sequence was
added to the curriculum during
the year. The sequence is a com
bined journalism-law course spon
sored by the Grady School and
the University School of Law. It
will give special trainjng to stu
dents who went to enter the field
of political reporting, Dean Drew
ry said.
Faculty Members
Besides the instruction work and
other activities, members of the
faculty—Tyrus Butler, Dean Drew
ry, Louis T. Griffith. Mell A.
Lunceford, jr., Worth McDougald,
Ralnph Stephens and John E. Tal
madge—are constantly delivering
addresses at numerous organiza
tions. John S. Peters has been
named a member of the faculty
now, replacing Mr. Stephens, who
has been made head of the Univer
sity press. ’
The Grady School has a system
of internship training where a lim
ited number of students gain ex
perience by working during the
summmer in various journalistic
enterprises such as newspapers
and radios.
Although the School does not
guarantee graduates job place
ment, efforts are made to aid all
students in employment. Job open
ings are being reported to the
school canstantly and are filled by
graduates at a rapid rate. :

Local Cancer Program
! BY BETTY BOOTH |
| State-aid patients served by the

The communique ‘said a red

gators that the 16th, 17th, and
18th Regiments of the North Ko
rean fourth division made up the
reinforcing troops that bridged
the Naktong river in the Waegwan
and Changnyong sectors.
An intelligence officer at Mac-
Arthur’s headquarters had said
Saturday that the Red forces in
the Changyong sector were fight
ing stubbornly as if they expected
help from the North Korean
Ninth and Fourth Division.
Both of these divisions, plus
five massing along the Naktcag,
would swell to between 60,000 to

officer said they persistently show
ed “great skill” in getting tanks

- “In no place have the Reds suc
ceeded. But in no place have they
committed enough force to sap
their strength except by piece

“But they have succeeded in

The project serves a real need,
for there are many patients who
are not fincanilly able to buy the

(R-NEB) the minority leader.
Senator Millikin (R-COLO),
chairman of the conference of all
Republicans Senators, told report
ers: :
Similar Bill
“As of now, it looks as though
the Senate bill in its final-lgorm
will be pretty much like the House
measure.”
On the Democratic side, Senator
Sparkman (ALA), chief drafter of
Senate measure, reiterated that
administration leaders are confi
dent the bill will pass by a lopsid
ed vote.
“l look for only a few minor
amendments,” Sparkman said.
. Johnson, a member of the Sen
ate armed services committee, con
centrated in his statement on the
rising cost of defense items. But
he did not suggest that price con
trol be limited to those materials.
At the present, rate, it ds en
'tirelv possible that the $10,000,-
000,000 requested by the armed
Lservices two weeks ago may buy
only $5,000,000,000 worth of fight
’ ing equipment.
“This means that the taxpayers
will get 50 cents on the dollar for
their investment in defense. It al
so means that the proposed $5,000,-
000,000 tax increase could be eaten |
up entirelv by inflated prices.” ‘
Equipment Cost |
The cost of basic military equip- ‘
ment, Johnson said, has increased
enormously during the last 10
years. He gave this picture:
“When we began our prepared
ness program in 1939, B-17 bomb
ers cost $300,000; today’s B-36
costs more than $3,000,000.
Destroyers cost $7,000,000 each
in in 1939, but now they cost
$40,000,000. Light tanks could be
produced for $27,000 in 1939, but
today they cost $225,000.”
At the peak of World War II
in 1944, Johnson added, “We could
equip an infantry division for $14,-
500.000—now the cost is $74,000,-
000.” Six years ago, he said, an
armored division could be out
fitted for $30,000,000, as compared
with $199,000,000 today.
Senate Republican leaders
Wherry and Millikin said they
had not made a difinite decision
yet regarding a major point of
controversy over the Senate bill.
That deals with a proposed
amendment by Senator Taft (R
--OHIO) which would reserve to
Congress the right to say whether
and when wage-price-rationing
control should be put into effect.

Minister 50 Years
Dr. Hill has been a Presbyterian
minister for 50 years, spending the
first seven years of his pastorate
in Eufaula, Alabama. He came 1o
Athens in 1907 and has two mar
ried daughters and two grand
children. s
Athens’ director of Civic Activi
ties thinks his office has not. been
in existence long enough to tell
the results of its creation. The
office was originated in the belie!
that such a man as Dr, Hill could
‘aid the community as a whole by
acting as a sympathetic . and
knowledgea&le ;dvinghm msitte'u:
pertaining to the public welfare.
In his work Dr. Hill states that
‘he has “the complete end hearty
‘cooperation -and ' support of the
\ mayor, council, the recorder ‘and
the Police Department, as well 2«
the county sheriff and other of
ficers.”
His many worthwhile activities
serve a needed purpose in the city
of Athens, and through his work
many unfortunate people, who
would otherwise have no one ic
turn to, are aided in their struggle
for a more xqeqningful existence.
