“Not a man among thema had
enough strength left to pull him
self aboard though our deck was
level with their chins,” Tobin said.
Eleven nurses were tied to
gether and clinging to three
boards. They sang “Merrily We
Roll Along” as they awaited res

“There were dozens of men be

tered together and floating around
for what seemed a century,” said
Medical Corpsman Henry N. Voo
dren. “The fellows with the life
iackets grabbed those without, and
hung onto them, so that they
couldn’t drift away in the fog.”
Quartermaster Donald Poalson
said he was on “about six life
rafts lashed together, with men
lumped on too of them and all
around, hanging onta ropes. It
looked like a New York subway
rush hour crowd.”
~ Some were half stripped and
blue from the cold. some were sob
bing and hvsterical. But the water
was full of heroes. And few dead.
Among the dead was Captain Hav
ens, the civilian pilot.
~ The navv ordered an investiga
tion to determine the cause of the
crash and learn why neither shio

$lO Billion Rearmament Bill
Passes House: Now In Senate
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.— (AP) —A $16,771,384,479
emergency bill to help rearm this country and its allies was
passed today by the House and sent to the Senate.
BR R bTI ERT A R.~etTn TBT S
The roll call vote was 311 to 1.
The lone opponent was Rep. Rich
(R.-Pa.), who asks almost daily:
“Where’s the money coming
from?”
Among other combat “hard
ware” items the big appropriation
measure provides for purchase of
5,333 warplanes,
It boosts to more than $30,000,-
000,000 the military outlays set up
for this year.
And Rep. Mahon (D.-Texas),
chairmran of the Military Appro
priations Subcommittee, told the
House yesterday that the Defense
Department is preparing another
request for $10,000,000,000.
Of the total in today’s bill, $4,-
000,000,000 goes to help friendly
countries abroad build up their
armed power to resist Communist
aggression.
Yesterday the House sent to the
Senate a $35,554,490,425 general

$14,500,000,000 for defense.
Columbus Roberts, Sr., Dies;
Services Set This Affernoon
COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 26—(AP)
—Columbus Roberts, sr., born the
son of a tenant farmer, died today,
a philanthropist who had given
away over a million dollars.
The 79-year-old Baptist leader
and former Georgia Commissioner
of Agriculture, died at City Hos
pital where he has been a patient
since suffering a heart attack
July 29.
After mzking a fortune, Roberts
retired in 1936 and spent the rest
of his life giving away his money,
mostly to Baptist institutions.
He ventured again into the po
litical field to run against Eugene
Talmadge in the September, 1944,
Democratic primary. But he lost
the nomination for governor even
though he spent $69,000 on the
campaign.
Tentative Pl
Ga. State Guard
Preliminary plans are under
way for the reactivation of Geor
gia’s State Guard when all units
of the National Guard are called
into Federal service, or its strength
reaches too low an ebb for effec
tive security, Adjutant-General
Ernest Vandiver announced- this
- week.
While it is not expected that all
units of the National Guard will
be called into service for some
time, General Vandiver said, it is
thought advisable to formulate
‘tentative plans for reactivation of
the State Guard.
~ The Adjutant-General said that
the State Guard, when formed,
would use the various headquar
ters of the National Guard
throughout the state. Headquar
ters will be in the offices of the
State Adjutant-General, and state
warehouses under control of the
military will be utilized as receiv
ing and distributing depots for all
Federal property.
The State Guard will probably
be given limited Federal recogni
tion under Army regulation 850-
250 and will be issued arms, uni
forms and equipment.
Initial plans call for units of the
State Guard to be organized where
units of the National Guard are
now, but special security units
will be organized where special
security is required. A small mil
itary police unit will be organized,
also.
A special unit of the State
Guard will be trained in defense
| for atomic, aerial, bacteriological
| and guided missile warfare, ready
| to move to threatened or attacked
’ areas.

Judge Oldham charged the jury
that they were not concerned
with the title or ownership of the
machine, or the use to which it
might have been subjected or
whether it had been used at all,
and that possession was not an
issue since the defendant admitted
being in possession of the ma
chine, but that before they could
convict the defendant they must
believe beyond a reasonable doubt
that the machine was a gambling
device, made to be used for the
hazarding of money, and that, on
the contrary, if they believed it
was a game of skill, as contended
by the defense, it would be their
duty to acquit the defendant.

The jury spent most of Thurs

a request of leniency in view of

grapes within the framework of a
large Star of David. The 5- pru
tah is blue and orange. The 15-
prutah is green and brown.
This set will be the third series
of festival commemoratives issued

Georgia Judges Urged To Strictly
Apply All Laws In Traffic Cases
ATLANTA—(GPS)— Following
close on Gov. Herman Talmadge’s
request to law enforcement offi
cials to “clamp down” on traffic
law violators, Chief Justice W. H.
Duckworth, of the Georgia Su
preme Court, has sent out letters
to judges, ordinaries and traffic
court officials throughout the state
urging them to strictly apply tne
law in cases brought before them.
“Every year,” Justice Duck
worth wrote, “Georgia’s traffic ac
cident toll is ghastly—7oo or 800
dead, over 25,000 injured, and
more than $32-million cash loss.
This constitutes one of the most
serious threats to public order that
I know, and places a heavy and
sobering responsibility on the judi
ciary.”
Pointing out that violations
breed accidents, the chief justice
said the prompt, universal and
fairly applied punishment of traf
fic law wviolators invariably re
duces accidents and saves lives.
Another thought he said he would
like to urge upon judges of the
lower courts was this:
Thousands Appear |
“For every defendant appearing
in the Supreme Court, literally
thousands appear in courts such
as yours. To them, the workings
of your court exemplify the work
ings of the government under
which they live and for which
some day they may be asked to
law down their lives. Such is the
importance of dignity, fairness and
true justice in your court.
“It is starkly true that in this
traffic situation the lives and wel
fare of thousands of Georgians are
literally in your hands. I implore
that you give your very best to
your duty here, to save God’s
gracious gift of life for those who
come before you, and for those
who might cross their way. I en
vy your opportunity for real serv
ice to your fellow man; and wish
you Godspeed in your mission to
reduce violations, reduce acci
dents and save lives.”
Gov. Talmadge’s and Chief Jus
tice Duckworth’s appeals are part
of an over-all, state-wide safety
program sponsored by the Georgia
Safety Council, which grew out of

YUGOSLAVS CAN GARLIC
BELGRADE—(AP)—Just about
a year ago, the government bought
up the garlic crop in Vojvodina,
Yugoslavia’s breadbasket. Prices
were low; garlic plentiful. The
government had far too much on
its hands. What to do? One of Yu
goslavia’s technicians found an
answer.
He had the garlic peeled, sliced,
ground, baked in special ovens and
packed in air tight tin boxes. For
the product, Yugoslavia claims a
long life without loss of flavor.
In its first year on the export mar
ket, it brought big orders from the
' American market and elsewhere.
- This year, Yugoslavia is increas
ing it output—especially along the
Hungarian frontier — to a point
where the crop probably will be
the largest in the country’s his
tory.
