Offict ls Say
§i lin's Blast
Will Backfire
Tightening Up
Of Western
Strength Seen
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19—(AP).
Diplomatic officials oredicted to
day that Premier Stalin’s blast at
the United Nations and the free
world generally will backfire in
three ways.
These authorities speculated
that it may have these effects:
1. To tizhten up, rather than di
vide, the west in its determination
to build military strength against
Soviet expansion because, despite
vis avowals of seeking peace, the
overall tone of what Stalin said
vas tough and uncompromising.
The first concrete réaction along
this line is expected to be quick
vestern agreement on a note to
Voscow calling on the Russians
to say if they are willing to hold
Big Four talks on the real causos
of world tension:
2 Inside Russia where Stalin’s
words are universally read, reread
and debated for months or -years,
his descrintions of the array of
pnations against the Communist
bloc—theough not so intended—
mav give the Russian people a
new idea of what they are up
against
8 Qédalluidtn Eienadle s
Stalin’s Prestige
3. Stalin’s personal prestige has
now become involved in Russia’s
diplomatic and propaganda battle
more directly than ever before.
Freviously he had held aleof from
the east=west conflict in most of
his publie pronouncements.
The State Department opened
an attack on this poirt last night.
Its “voice of America” began tell
ing the world Stalin had taken
over from “puppets and stooges”
the task of prepagandizing the
world with “fake charges and
claims.”
The ‘“voice” broadcast added
that Stalin “has now put himself
on record and on trial before the
world by lending his own name
to the Soviet deception.”,
The mere fact that the official
mouthpiece of American govern
ment would make such a personal
thrust at the chief of the Soviet
state showed both the govern
ments, estimate of the exent to
which Salin had led with his chin
and the advanced state ‘of de
tecioration in relations between
the Soviet Union and the United
States.
Great Britain Replies
Great Britain also repiied to the
fwalin attack over the weekend,
accusing ‘Russia of wusing the
‘threat” of overwhelming force”
and ‘“aggressive and subversive
policies” throughout the world to
prevent peace,
Aside from the propaganda
aspects, there was a tendency
among officials here to regard
Stalin’s statement as generally
darkening the world’s prospeets.
His personal assumption of leader
ship in the Soviet attack on the
U. N., and his insistence thaf the
Korean war must be settled on
China’s terms or not at all ap
eared to offer no encouragement
to those who might still hope that
Russia would be in a compromis
ng mood at any early Big Four
meeting, ;
Russian Toughness
This toughness plus Stalin’s
bitter criticisms of British Prime
\linister Attlee brought the initial
reaction in Pairs that the chances
for the Big Four meeting had de
creased. - .
Negotiations for east-west talks
have reached the point now where
the western pcwers are due to
send another note to Moscow. The
broposed draft was dispatched by
ihe State Department to Paris and
London Friday for approval, ex
pected to be swift, -

Army Considers Change - Over To
New Model Machine Guns, Rifles
By ELTON C. FAY
AP Military Affairs Reporter
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19—(AP)
—The Army is considering chang
ing over to new and better models |
of two of its most widely used‘
weapons—machine guns and rifles.
The decision isn’t easy. And if |
made, the transition undoubtedly |
will be a slow, steady process tak- |
ig years instead of a sudden toss- '
ing away of existing weapons and
picking up of new ones. |
In the instance of machine guns, |
the Army has hundreds of thou- |
sands of caliber .30 and .50. Its
rifles, automatics and carbines |
number in the millions. !
Shift Cests ]
The cost of a shift to new and |
better arms is only one factor. It
would mean ndt only that produc- |
tion lines for guns would have to |
be stopped and new ones set up, |
but facilities for entirely new
types of ammunition production, |
on mass scale, would have to be |
provided. |
The Army showed experimental |
types of the machine guns and |
rifles to President Truman over
the week-end in a demonstration |
at the Aberdeen, Md., proving |
ground where it also presented for |
him shows of other new ordnance |
materials, including tanks. l
It is considering adoption of a
.60 calibre machine gun apparent- f
ly far faster and harder hittin'gl
thn anything used now. Experi- |
mental types of tnis gun are notl
new. Army ordinance produced the

Advantages
Among the advantages of the
60 caliber machine gun are two
directly related to the problem of
modern fast jet planes — a high
rate of fire and a velocity which
gets the bullet to the target faster.
These are important to the Army
because ground forces must defend
themselves against air attack. The
heavy, fixed type of .50 caliber
machine gun used by the Army
has a rate of fire of about 450 to
570 round per minute. The .60 cal
iber gun has a normal rate of 750.
At Aberdeen, it sprayed bullets
like water rrom a hose.
The new gun has another highly
important feature-—a development
since its first wartime invention.
In a minute, it can be converted
from a .60 caliber to a 20 millime
ter weapon, merely by unscrewing
the smaller size barrel and putting
in the 20 millimeter, with no spe
cial tools required. Thus, the gun
can be used as a .60 caliber for
such conventional ground targets
as enemy infantry in the open or
changed swiftly to a caliber more
effective against strafing aircraft
or infantry moving behind light
shielding.
- Moreéver, it is fired electrically.
That meant the crew can place the
gun, get away from it in case the
enemy starts pouring in mortar or
other fire, and fire by remote con
trol.

ATLANTA, Feb. 19—(AP)—
Georgia’s History making lawmak
ers had faded into the background
today, leaving the problem of the
sales tax and what it means to the
lawyers,
Before the legislators bowed off
stage, though, they had dumped
more than 500 bills on the desk of
Gov. Herman Talmadge for signa
ture into law.
Out of the wings and into the
spotlight for another 12 months
moved the regular cast, including
Rgvenue Comissioner Charles Red
wine.
In his maiden, post legislature
comment, Redwine admitted that
some points of the new, three per
cent general levy were unclear to
him, but, “I expect to levy all tax
I can wunder the law.”
The bill is designed {o raise
$100,000,000, but some believe the
amount most likely will be in the
neighborhood of $150,000,000.
Attorney General Eugene Cook
has agreed with Redwine that the
sales tax bill faced legal tests, but
of one thing Cook was certain: the
bill is constitutional, though some
sections might be thrown out by
the courts.
One Problem
One of the problems before Red
wine is how the tax measure will
affect airlines, railroads, buses
and other common carriers in in
terstate Commerce.
Still to be determined, said Red
wine, is how the state is to tax
such things as spare parts on ve
hicles or planes moving in inter
state commerce, whether the full
levy should apply or whether it
should be based only on the per
centage of business done in Geor
gia.
Terms of the law provide for
no “undue” burden on interstate
commerce. Redwine, Cook or the
courts will have to decide what
constitutes an “undue” burden.
The new measure does not ex
empt bus tokens, vending machine
and s¢ tforth, but says nothing
about how to collect three per
cent of a a nickel or dime.
New Power ¢
Tt does give power to Redwine,
however, to set certain “brackets”
on items of little cost. Under this
clause the Revenue Commissioner
could exemt items under 10 cents
and set a penny tax on quarter
purchases.
For merchandisers the bracket
system_might aver?e out to the
required three per cent, But what
about 10 cent bus fares? Who col
lects and how?
If the bracket isn’t applied to the
bus fare, woula that be illegal?
Redwine said the courts might
have to settle that one, too. The
tax becomes operative April 1 if
signed by the Governor and there
is little doubt he will. ’
The 1951 session will long be
remembered as the one which
banned mask wearing, wrote a
record breaking $207,000,000 an
nual budget and authorized a
school building authority with
power to issue up to $180,000,000

designers is to get the weight

Flash Fire Burns

A flash fire near the Farmers
Mutual Warehouse off Broad street
frightened numerous citizens in
that area this morning. The flash
occurred when a dynamite blast
caused two power wires to be

Firemen and power company
employees were called to the
scene of the two-block long flash.
The wire trouble was readily re
medied and fire only burned one
bale of cotton in the warehouse.
The flash occurred outside of the
warehouse, but reached to the in
side. #
The incident caused electrical
trouble in the eastern section of

Truman May Be Forced
To Ask Labor Support
Mediation Of Defense Wrangle
Between Planners, Unions Seen
BY HAROLD W. WARD
WASHINGTON, Feb., 19.— (AP) —President Truman
may be forced today to mediate the wrangle between his
mobilization planners and labor union chiefs which
threatened to snarl the nation’s defense program.
Organized labor’s support of the present program was
in the balance. A meeting of the major labor groups—the
AFL, CIO and Railroad Unions—cooperating as the United
Labor Policy Committee (ULPC) was set for this after
noon.
AFL President William Green
said the ULPC might decide to go
to Mr. Truman with the problem
after its session, if he did not in
vite them first.
There was strong sentiment
among the ULPC members, repre
senting nearly all of the 16,000,000
workers in labor unions except
John L. Lewis, miners and four
railroad unions, to ditch the whole
administration program,
That could lead to widespread
strikes and disruption of defense
planning.
Minority Prevails
An apparent minority of the La
bor Committee prevailed at a
meeting Friday, and the unionists
were persuaded to wait until today
before deciding the next move be
yond pulling the three labor mem
bers off the Wage Stabilization
Board. That came as a result of
the 10 per cent wage increase for
mula voted by the industry and
public members of the board
Thursday night. The labor mem
bers had wanted 12 per cent, with
out the strings which were at
tached to the 10 per cent ceiling,
The board’s make-up is in ques=
tion as a result of the labor bolt,
It could become a stabilization
board of only.public members. The
formula—which limits wage in
creases to 10 per cefit above Jan
uary 15, 1950 levels until July 1—
must be acted on by Economic
Stabilizer Eric Johnston.
That left the administration two
openings for calming labor’s ruf
fled feathers, without the personal
intervention of Mr. Truman. These
alternatives were:
Bankers Farm Meet To
Open Here Tomorrow
Upwards of one hundred bankers from all parts of Geor
gia will meet here tomorrow for a two-day agricultural
short course including demonstrations of soil analysis and
tree-planting.
The program is under direction tree-planting by a planting ma-

the agricultural committee, Geor
gia Bankers Association, sponsors
of the event. Frank W. Thomas,
Washington, president of the Geor

among those attending the meet
ings and will preside over the ses
sions on the second day,
Tomorrow’s program opens at
the agricultural college of the Uni
versity of Georgia, co-sponsors of
the short course, at 10:20 o’clock
with the welcome by Dean C. C.
Murray. He will be followed on
the program by Dean Gordon Sief
kin, of Emory School of Business
Administration who will speak on
“Inflation, The Banker and the
Farmer.”
B. W. Williams, Harrig county
farmer and 8. L. Johnson, Wood
stock banker, will discuss the sub
ject: “Some Adjustments.in 1951.”
At 2:30 o’clock the bankers will

Formula Softener
1. Johnston may soften the wage
board’s formula to make it more
palatable to the labor spokesmen.
However, such a way out might
prove too costly—the industry or
public members might resign from
the board with the protest that
they couldn’t agree to Johnston's
decision,
2. Mobilization Director Charles
E. Wilson already has invited
leaders of the ULPC to name one
of their number for a top-level
advisory post at his side. That's
what they have been clamoring
for. But the manner in which the
invitation was made and an
nounced was clouded so that the
labor chiefs wanted a good look at
the offer before committing them
selves.
Should the ULPC decide to ac
cept Wilson's offer—made known
on Saturday after the committee
had sharply ecriticized the whole
mobilization program as being
handed over to “big business” -
the group might pick red-headed
Walter P. Reuther of the CIO-
Auto Workers as their man,
Protests over businessmen’s
domination of the mobilization
program were heard also on Capi
tol Hill. Senator Aiken (R.-Vt.)
accused the Truman administra
tion of turning over the program
to big business and leaving labor
and agriculture out in the cold. *
Senator Maybank (D.-S.C.) also
complainad that farm leaders have
been ignored in planning and op
erating the program. He demand

decisive victory on these fronts,
But he gaid the Chinese Reds hav
enough massed troops to
a successful Allied crossing
of Parallel 38 if the Reds ecomm
them.
U. N. troops established a small
bridgehead on the north bank :
the Han river five miles east

ruins of the Korean capital.

a. m. (7 p. m.,, EST, Sunday) and
advanced over snow - covered
mountain roads, Stone said ar

more than 200 enemy dead. Small
arms skirmishes continued
throughout the day along the path
of the advance.

ican counter-attack recaptured a
bitterly-defended mile of a wedge

one-half mile front about six miles
