Newspaper Page TextSoN OF ST Col. William Harris 's Coming Back Home SOMEWHERE IN KOREA, April 23.—(AP)—A small |ding man of 40, rated by many the best regimental com nder in Korea, is on his way Zlqme‘ t.g'_étheng, G@. e Swifch Of Curbs Program To Ag, | abor Evidenced WASHINGTON, April 23—(AP) —The admlabttatﬂm’l drive to stiffen inflation controls mbout to switch to labor and agriculture, arow that the touzheninuob on Lusiness is being completed. A new wage Stablization Board, cstablished over the weekend by president Truman, will have as one of its first tasks the problem of a freeze on further living-cost pay increases for workers. A somewhat similar plan for agriculture—a freeze in further changes in parity—is expected to be included among Mr. Truman’s recommendations to Congress for changes in the defense production 2ct. A return to wartime food sub cidies is another .probable pro posal. ! ; ; Any proposal to freeze farmers’ parity, Senator Maybank (D-SC.) pradicted, - “doesn’t stand a chance.” Maybank, head of the Senate Banking Committee which handles wage-price control legis lation, told a reportér “Congress not only will reject it, but in my | opinion will write a provision into the law making a freeze on parity necifically illegal.” Hone for the lifting of some-eco nomic- controls by early 1953, bar ring an all-out war, was expressed maanwhile by Economiec Stabili r Frie Johnston. On a broadcast yesterday, how ever. Johnston said the full im ¢ of military spending has not ¢ hit the economy and he said “the danser of inflation will be with us as long as the threat of communistic aggression is with “hat new curbs on labor and aoricultural are being considered was hinted by Johnston in an other statement. In establishing a new incusiry earnings standard as a vardstick for allowing price increases, he said: «17e all recognize that inflation can't be stopped by piecerr 2al anproaches or halfway measures. There must be firm stabilization policieg in every area to support the increasing tempo and magni tude ot our military defense and production program.” Johnston's new earnings stand ard bars any industry—or indivi dual firms within the industry— from receiving price increases if the industry’s dollar profits exceed 85 per cent of the profits average for the three best yeas out of the four in the 1946-49 period. Distributors and retailers also will be generally held to the 85 per cent profits standard before price increases will be considered. The office of price administration is moving rapidly to establish dol lare and cents price ceilings on all items. An interim step toward this will be the general manufacturers price regulation to be issued by P-ice Director Michael V. DiSalle on Wednesday. . This will require manufacturers to return their prices to pre-Ko-. vea levels exeept for cost in creases since that time. Di Salle has said that this will result in seneral price rollbacks to con sumers, since special profit mar oins have already been fixed for retailers. The new wage board—with six members each from labor, industry and the public—will have authori~ v to reccommend settlement terms in all labor-management disputes sent it by the President as substantially threatening Na tional defense.

M., in Fine Arts Auditorium Colonel William A. -Harris is homeward bound on rotation aftem leading the famed Seventh Cav alry on a dozen battlefields in seven months of warfare. Most soldiers in Korea pray for rotation. But not Harris. He sat staring into his glass, He was battle-worn and weary, The faded green of his combat clothes, his unhooked pistol har ness — they all gave mute testi mony. But he obviously did not want to go. - R Cane and Blue Chip “I have my cane and the blue chip,” he added, “and I have the memories.” He pointed to an ordinary-look ing cane on a.cot in the corner of the one-time schoolhouse. He dug} a blue poker chip from a water proof pouch. 4 What were these? These simple mementoes that a fighting man so treasured? The Colonel ex plained: : “l was commanding the artil lery battalion in Taegu when the General called me. He asked, ‘Where are you going to take your regiemnt?’ “I told him I'd take it any where. That’s how 1 was given the command. “Next morning I was walking up the road and a trooper stopped me and handed me that cane. I don’t know why and I never knew his name, but I've carried that cane every day since, It’s brought me luck. I'll always carry it.” Seventh Cavalry A week later, Colonel Harris ‘had led his Sevénth Cavalry to ﬁOsan, 195 miles northwest, estab lishing contact with the U. S. Sev enth Division from Inchon in the greatest single advanece of the ' Korean War. A month later the Seventh Cav k alry was deep in North Korea and the war appeared almost over. 'Then the Chinese hit. . “When the Chinese came.in, ' they crumbled a South Korean {corps in front of them,” Harris ;recalled. “When they hit us, they thought they were still fighting *Koreans, and we knocked hell out of them. ; “The Seventh Cavalry stopped | the whole Chinese 42nd Army Corps — 5,000 Americans against 30,000 Chinaemn, and we stopped them cold. “That’s when the regiment gave me this chip. 1 always called !them the blue-chip regiment and they believed it.” . On the face of the chip is scratched “Gary Owen.” “Gary Owen” is an old Irish drinking song, the theme .of the Seventh Cavalry, whose rallying call is, “Have no fear, Garry Owen is here. " When the Chinese started mak ing psychological capital of their frequent bugle " calls during at tacks, Colonel Harris issued bu gles to his own men and instruct ed them to go into battle blowing “Garry Owen.” Hence the Gary Owen blue chip, a gift from the troopers to {the man they called “Wild Bill |Harris” because he had a saddle | strapped to the hoed of his jeep. | “Giving up the Garry Owen ’regiment is the thoughest thing 1 ever did,” said the Colonel, care , fully restoring the blue chip to as pouch. «I didn’t want to leave.” IS A SON OF THE LATE MAJOR HUNTER HARRIS Colonel William A. Harris is a son of the late Major Hunter Har ris'of Athens and Mrs. Harris, and a brother of General Hunter Har |vis, of the United States Air Force. Major Harris, his father, was Commandant of the Athens High School for several years after his retirement from active duty with the Army. General Peter C. Harris, Adjutant General of the Army during World War I, was his uncle, as was Senator William J. Harris. He is a cousin of Mrs. Margaret Harris Blair of Athens.

Around 20 ag ricultural leaders and machinery men, including several Athenians, are to participate in the program. The conference is sponsored by the College of Agriculture Divis ion of Engineering and the Atlan ta Farm Equipment Club. - Registration begins at 9:30 a. m. ‘in Conner Hall on the Agricultural College campus, and the group will be welcomed to the campus by Dean and Directer C. C, Murray ‘of the Colleeg at 10:00. L. S. De voe, manager , J. I, Case Com pany, Atlanta, will follow Dean Murray with an explanation of the purpose of the conference, and Associate Dean Paul W, Chap man of the Agricultural College will deliver the first address, be ginning at 10:30. Dean Chapman’s subject will be ‘“Mechanization— A Forward Look.” He is expected to point to Am erica’s farmers as the most effi cient food producers in the world, because, in the most highly me chanized nation in the world, they own and operate a bigger power plant than any other group of pro ducers, Dean Chapman is also ex ' pected to call attention to the tre mendous strides made in the South in recent years in the farm equip ment field. Two other Athenians are to ap pear on the morning program Tuesday. They are Russell Daniel, jr., local machinery dealer, who will present the topic, “The Deal~ er’s Responsibility to His Commu-~ nity,” and J. R.

No Doubt But there is doubt that the Re= publicans can win sufficient sup port to get approval of this res olution, An agreement already has been reached for the Senate Arm=- ed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees to go into the over= all reasons behind President Tru man’s firing of Gen. Douglas Mac= Arthur as Pacific commander. ~ Boiled down, the differences are that Mr. Truman wants to fight 'a limited war in Korea and con )tends that MacArthur’s proposals to blockade Red China, send planes over Manchuria and use Chinese Nationalist troops might nudge ?ussia into starting World War 11. Chairman Russell (D-Ga.) ar ranged a conference with the Arm ed Services Committee’s pro fessional staff to check over any do%x‘ments it m;gnl;ve assembled. ¢ _The dispute boiled up in a new direction over the w&kenﬁx fgﬂf?w ing publication of an administra tion summary of the Wake Island 'conference between Mr. Truman ' and MacArthur last October. . That.summary, published in the New York Times Saturday morn ing, said the general apologized to Mr. Truman for having em barrassed him last August in an expression of views about For mosa; predicted the Chinese Com-~ munists would not enter the fight ing; and promised to have one of his divisions, the second, ready shortly for transfer to Europe. A MacArthur spokesman replied there had been no stenographic report on the Truman-MacArthur private talks and added the gen eral had received no warnings of possible Chinese Red intervention from Washington. “Leaking” Accusations Some Republicans accused the administration of “leaking” the re port to bolster its stand. There was no comment from l.e ‘White House. As for GOP charges the story had been planted, Times Corres pondent Anthony Leviero said in a second dispatch from Washing ton that he gained access to doc umented administration sources “entirely on his own initiative.” Senator Hill (D-Ala.) said the documents on the Wake Island conference should be handed over to the congressional committee planning to investigate far eastern policy and the dismissal of Mac~ Arthur. “After the committees have studied it, as much of the informa tion should be made public as is consistent with national security,” Hill said. “The public is entitled to that.” Senator Aiken (R-Vt.) said he believes public opinion eventually will force the administration to put MacArthur’s far east military program into effect, i “And when they do, watch and see—they’ll call it their own pro gram, not MacArthur’s,” he said.
