will be no Sunday service. Service was cut somewh Fev
eral months ago when the time of service was she & ed;
nowever, the territery covered was increased at tha. time.
The curtailment is “due to the continued loss of reve
nue, caused by jitney cabs operating in the mass transpor
tation field,” according to Mr. Stoddard. He said because
of this the bus line “has been unable to meet the monthly
pavments on the ten pieces of equipment in operation.”
Mr., Stoddard said the Athens ——————-——
City Lines is five months in ar
rears for a total of $11,686.55, and
sthens City Lines has been order
.d by its creditors to withdraw
alf of the equipment from service.
During the past several months
‘here have been many conferences
n the transportation situation in
Athens following a full-service
us curtailment here for part of
ne day, Concerned with the situa
ion have been bus officials, Mayor
and Council, taxi-cab otficials, and
he public.
Meanwhile, an injunction filed
hy two taxi-cab comparnies here
nd a private citizen against
ymendments to the transportation
rdinance passed by Mayor and
‘ouncil is pending a hearing set
or Clarke Superior. Court on
yugust 26. A temporary injunc
ion has been granted by Judge
lenry H. West awaiting the hear
ing. R
rhe three amendments, which
the petitioners wish to prevent be
ng enforced, make it illegal for
axis to solicit passengers on bus
outes while buses are in opera
tion, for taxis to pick up pass
engers on a bus route unless tele
phoned for and any person to stop
at a designated bus stop.
The bus curtailment order will
not cut the territory covered great
y, but will make the time longer
hetween trips.
Schedule Curtailed
Buses relieved from service are
the Holman, Barberville, Ag
rive-Lumpkin, Milledge Circle-
Stanton Way, anc. Boulevard
rince. Sections covered by the
latter three buses named will get

yuses which have been running in
‘he opposite direction, and the
time between runs will be longer.

sections have been recziving serv
ce from two buses running only
ifteen minutes apart, but will get
service by only one bus every
thirty minutes under the curtail
ment order.

Bth Person Arrested
For Passing Atomic
Secrets to Spy Ring
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18—(AP)
—The Justice Department today
announced the arrest of a former
U. S. Navy civillan engineer on
charges of glving national defense
secrets to Russla,
It said FBI agents took Morton
Sobell, 33, New York electrical
engineer into custody of Laredo,
Tex., this morning.
He is the eighth person arrested
in a roundup of Americans accused
of channeling atom bomb data and
other secret information to a So
viet spy ring.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
said that Sobell fled from the
United States in June to avoid
arrest.
, He was arrested at Laredo when
deported from Mexico back to this
country. 3
The Justice Department said
plans are to arraign Sobell before
a U. S. commissioner at Laredo and
seek his removal to New York
City.
Sobell was employed on restrict
ed work for the U. S. Navy at the
General Electric plant at Sche
nectady, N. Y., from 1942 to 1947.
He is accused of having colla
borated with the other Americans
previously arrested in obtaining
defense secrets during that period.
Since he is charged with es
pionage conspiracy in wartime,
Sobell—like the others similarly
accused—faces a possible death
penalty.

Social Security
Measure Goes
To White House
Truman Is Expected
To Sign Bill Despite
Some ‘Short’ Features
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18— (AP)
—Backed heavily in Congress, a
1 bill increasing social security cov
erage and boosting Lenefits as
much as 100 per cent is finally
ready for presidential action.
The Senate checked the measure
to the White House late yesterday
by a voice vote of approval during
| which no dissents were heard.
The House previously had
adopted 374 to -1 the compromise
measure, worked out in a Senate-
House conference.
While the bill falls well short of
what President Truman had rec
| ommended, and contains features
l he regards as objectionable, it was
I expected he would sign it.
| One administration lieutenant,
who asked not to be named, said
a veto would add greatly to Con
! gress’ troubles at a time when
| law-makers are attempting to
wind up their work by early next
.month. He said he didn’t expect
| a veto.
| Chairman George (D-Ga.) of the
Senate Finance Committee called
the bill perhaps the most im
portant to come before Congress
during the two years of the Ilst
| session, T
GOP Backing
The measure also got strong
backing from Senator Millikin
(R-Colo.), the ranking Republican
;nember of the Finance Commit~
ee,
The Lill would extend eoverage
to 10,000,000 additional persons,
bringing to about 45,000,000 the
total under the social security pro=
gram. Mr. Truman had recom=
mended extension te 20,000,000.
Social security payroll taxes
would be more than doubled over
the next 20 years, or from $2,500,~
000,000 annually to about $7,800,~
000,000 in 1970.
The expanded benefits are
scheduled to start within the next
45 days when the 3,000,000 persons
now receiving benefits hecause of
retirement or as survivors of in
sured persons will get an average
of $46 a month, instead of the
present $26.
For a family, the maximum
benefit will be hiked from SBS to
$l5O a month.
Program Expanded
The bill would bring into the
program 5,000,000 self-employed

State Begins Action
Clarke County Dropped To sth
From Bottom On Priority List
ATLANTA, Aug. 18 — (AP) — Georgia’s populous
counties were dropped to the bottom of the priority list to
day as the state began plans to “carry out fully” a high
way reform law.
The law sets out rigid formulas for distributing millions
of dollars in secondary road .f,‘?,’ff’_“;‘__--“‘m - ;
Under these formulas, Musco~-
gee county is at the tailend of the
list of 159 gounties. Next from the
‘bottom, in order, are Chatham,
Bibb, Clarke, Fulton and Dough
erty, at 153rd.
Highway officials said it is un
likely that any of these counties
would get any secondary road
funds during the next 15 years.
They still would be eligible for
grimary or urban road construec
on.
The priority list emerged as the
three-man state highway board
began hours of conferences with
state attorneys to "study the so
called Gholston compromise high
way law, enacted last winter.
Sen. Knox Gholston of Comer,
vigorous champion of highway re
form, asked the board recently if
it was not ignoring the law. He
warned that violations could lead
to prosecution or bond forfeitures.
Chairman James L. Gillis of the
highway board declared today
“we are going to- carry out this
law fully.”
Attorney General Eugene Cook
and his assistants have been stu
dying just how to set the law in
operation. They have conferred
for hours with the highway board.
! The law, generally, requires a
survey of the percentage of roads
paved in every county in the state.

'road funds, counties with the

Points Out Preparedness Of Farms
The plant and equipment of Georgia farms has never
been in better condition, and the state’s farmers are pre
| pared to meet any emergency that may lie ahead, accord
ing to J. S. Wolf jr., vice president, Citizens & Southern
iNationa! Bank, who represents the Georgia Bankers As
sociation as a county key banker. ; d :
| “One of the best indications of
' this is that Georgia farmers bor
‘rowed less from banks during
[ 1949 than during 1948,” Mr. Wolfe
! said.
,l Reporting on the results of the
ninth national survey or farm
lending made by the Agricultural
Commission of the American
Bankers Association, Mr. Wolfe
noted that there was a decline in
lowest percentage of paving must
be brought up to the standard of
the highest, until all are equalized.
Equalization Plan
Thus, counties with a high per
tentage of paving now are placed
at the bottom of the priority list.
They can’'t get secondary road
funds until all the counties be
neath them have been brought up
to their level.
The formula holds true despite
heavier traffic or specific needs,
such as inadequate bridges, in the
low=-priority counties. Only in an
“emergency” can the state fail to
follow the formula.
The act, however, permits the
state to delay operations under the
formula while it contracts for pro
jects already approved by the
state and federal governments

both the number of new loans and
the total amount borrowed from
banks by Georgia farmers last
year. “This decline is particularly
healthy,” he said, “in view of the
present uncertainties and the slight
drop in farm income. It shows that
farmers are wisely avoiding exces
sive debt and are holding on to
their reserves to meet any possible
emergency.”
| Decline In Loans
| Mr. Wolfe stated that in 1949,
the last full year of operation, the
315 Georgia banks serving agri
cultural communities loaned $66,-
979,000 to 81,208 farmers to meet
all types of financial needs. This
s a decline from the 81,854 farm
loans, totaling $73,516.000, made
by banks in. 1948.1 Of the tota
'amount loaned last year, $43,282,-
000 were borrowed by 63,487 far
‘mers to finance production and
operational requirements. Of these
loans, only ‘519,931,000 were out
standing on January 1, 1950.
“During the year, there were
17,719 farmers, representing 7.8
‘per cent of the farmers in the
state, who made farm real estate
loans in an aggregate amount of
$23,697,000. The prosperity of the
state’s farmers is shown by the
fact that only $19,013,000 in real
estate loans were outstanding at
the beginning of this year.
Farm Ifiebt
“The total of all bank-held farm
debt in Georgia on January 1,
1950, was $38,944,000.”
Mr. Wolfe noted that one of the
brightest aspects of the present
farm debt situation is the small
size of the average loan, indicat
ing the service that banks are ren
dering to the owners of smail
farms in particular. The average
loan for production purposes was
only $682, and the average loan
made on farm real estate was only
$1,337.

Crack North Korean Division
Is Given "Hell Of A Licking
TOKYO, Saturday, Aug. 19 — (AP) — Allied treoys,
tanks, artillery and air bombs turned two Red Korean
thrusts—42,ooo men—away from threatened Taegu eity
Friday.
South of Taegu a crack Red Korean division took what
an American general called a ‘“hell of a licking” at the
hands of U. S. Marines and infantrymen.
The city itself was turned info a steel-rimmed fortres;
by an Allied evacuation order sending more than a half
million civilians trekking away as refugees.
The South Korean government also was sent away te
establish its new refugee capital somewhere.
The war-swollen populace was
removed mainly so it would not
get underfoot in military opera
tions-—and to reduce the possibil
ity of uprisings by infiltrated
Communists among the refugees.
A thrust by 30,000 North Ko
reans was stopped 12 miles north
of Taegu by South Koreans.
Then American and South Ko
rean troops lunged at the big Red
force by Friday night with a blaz
ing counter-attack.
At Changnyong, where 12,000
Koreans had bulged eastward on
the Allied bank of the Naktong
river 23 miles southwest of Taegu,
American Marines and doughboys
whipped the Communists in a bit
ter battle. Many Reds retreated
back across the river, abandoning
their weapons in panic.
Maj. Gen. John H. Church,
commanding the joint Marine-in
fantry attack at Changnyong, was
jubilant over what his troops had
done to the Reds.
Two South Korean divisions
stalled the 30,000 Communists
north of mountain-walled Taegu
Friday morning. One of them, the
South Korean First Infantry,
pounced on the Reds in a counter
attack immediately. Friday after
noon and the U. S. 28th regiment
piled into the battle.
The other South Korean division
on the same front lost contact with
the ‘Reds after helping to stop
them. Allied headquarters said the
Red force may have turned back
north to escape through steep hills
under fire.
& Reds Chased
In the bulge at Changnyong at
tacking Americans chased Red
river-crossers back across the
Naktong.
General Church said the Ma
rine-infantry attackers in his sec
tor may have ended the North Ko+
rean Fourth Division's fighting
days.
“I think everything has gone
very well,” said the general.
“He (the enemy) cerlainly has
taken a hell of a licking. That’s
certain. 1 don’t think that (Red
Fourth) Division will do much
fighting for a while.
“What I would like to do is
destroy that division entirely.”
The flight of the escaping North
Koreans was reported by Sgt.
Benjamin Schofield of Des Moines.
He watched their flight from 2
high ridge overlooking the river.
