At Yalta, Acheson Declares
Savannah Ri
Projects N
WASHINGTON, June 7T— (AP)
Congress has been asked to vote
more than $21,000,000 for two big‘
water projects along the Savan
nah river in South Carolina and
Georgia to speed the H-bomb work
in that area.
Members of Congress and others
told a House appropriations sub-}
committee in testimony released‘
foday that the government should
#nish the multi-million dollar res- ‘
ervoirs as quickly as possible. The
subcommittee heard them in con
gidering funds for Army civili
functions in the year starting July |
3
They said the big project plan
ned for Hartwell, Ga., and the
nearly completed Clarks Hill pro
gram should provide power, im
prove mnavigation and prevent
floods in the area of the Atomic
Enaggy Commission’s new plant in
Aiken and Barnwell -counties,
South Carolina.
Army engineers testified the
$78,400,000 Clarks Hill reservoir
about 25 miles from the H-bomb
plant can be & per cent completed
next year if Congress provides
$18,300,000 for the year starting
July 1. They reported the work
66 per cent complete now and said
the first power from Clarks Hill
will be placed on the line in Octo
ber, 1952.
Potter Statement
Col. W. E. Potter, assistant chief
of the army engineers in charge of
special projects, said:
“While the power from this pro
ject was urgently needed prior to
the time the decision to place the
hydrogen-bomb plant in the vicin
ity was made, the need for electri
city is much more urgent at the:
present time. The present plans
are that the first unit can be made
available to the H-bomb plant as
soon as it is on the line.”
Potter said $51,699,000 has been
spent on Clarks Hill today and
$8,401,000 will be needed in addi
tion to the $18,300,000 requested
for use in the year starting July 1.
He said money this year will go
teward dam construction, reloca
tions and clearing. He said Clarks
Hill development will raise the
water level at Augusta to 7.3 feet
from six and allow barges to load
that additlonal foot all the time
rather than 74 per cent of the time
a six feet.
Engineers’ Report
The federal engineers said the
$78,400,000 project planned for
Hartwell should be allotted
$3,000.000 this year to start con-
Sruction. So far Congress has al
lowed only $170,000 to plan the
installation 68 miles ‘upstream
from Clarks Hill near Anderson,
S. C. Rep. Brown (D.-Ga.) said
5%00.000 is needed for final plans
also.
Brown added that Hartwell will
produce 462,000,000 kilowatt-hours
per year and will increase prime
energy output at Clarks Hill by
more than 50,000,000 kilowatt
ho_urs a year. He said Hartwell
will be_ one of the largest storage
reservoirs in the southeast.
Senator Johnston (D.-S.C.) re
minded the committee that the
preszdent. considers initiation of
construction at Hartwell “neces
sary to the war effort.”
Other members of Congress
from the Savannah river basin
area joined Brown and Johnston
In urging Congress to provide the
money for these big projects as
part of natlonal defense.
Former .U. S. Senator Wilton E.
Hall, cahirman of the Hartwell
dam steertng committee, and form
er LB Representative Butler B.
Hare, chairman of the Clarks Hill
Authority, both S. C. Democrats,
also asked for the additional power

would be provided by congression

Concessions To Reds, Nationalist
Defeat Not Linked Says Secretary
WASHINGTON, June 7.— (AP) —Secretary of State
Acheson contended today there was no connection between
the Far Eastern concessions made to Russia at Yalta and
the defeat of the Chinese Nationalists by the Communists.
Acheson said that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, lead
er of the Nationalists, welcomed the agreements, which
gave Russia entry into Manchuria through concessions at
Port Arthur and Dairen.
Seven Nazi W
c . " l A
By RICHARD K. O'MALLEY
LANDSBERG, Germany, June 7
(AP)—Seven Nazi war criminals,
convicted of the mass murder of
millions, were hanged by the
United States Army here early to
day. ‘
They were the last to die of 275 |
persons condemned by the U. S.|
War Crimes Tribunals of 1946-41[
The seven went to the gallows
after four years of legal maneuver- 1
ing. Their last mercy appeal was|
denied by the U. S. Supreme Court
yesterday.
The seven dropped through the
trap in the basement of bleak |
Landsberg prison where their |
fuehrer, Adolph Hitler, had writ
ten “Mein Kampf.” It was just‘
seven years and a day since the
Allies swarmed ashore in France
on D-Day to break the back of
Nazi power.
Those Hanged {
Three of those hanged were SS
(Elite guard) generals and two‘
were colonels condemned for the
wanton slaughter of innocent Jews, I
Gypsies and Russians.
Two other SS men died because,
as concentration camp bosses, they
had wreaked horror among their
defenseless charges. .. . &
Each of the men used his last 90
seconds for a speech from the!
scaffold. A source within the|
closely guarded prison said thel
substance of their words was “be
ware of {he people who say they
are friends of Germany.” He said
he had no doubt this referred to
the United States.
The first to die—at midnight-—l
was SS Col. Paul Blobel, who for-|
' sook an architect’s drafting board
to lead extermination squads in
occupied Russia. The massacre of
60,000 persons at Kiev is on his‘
' record. |
~ Then, in alphabetical order,l
. came:
| - SS Col. Werner Braune, lawyer |
turned officer, whose troops wiped [
' out thousands of civilians at Sim
' feronol in the Russian Crimea. i
SS Gen. Erich Naumann, whose’
' extermination force wiped out
3,539 Jews and Gypsies on the|
| eastern front in a little more than |
| three weeks. i‘
| General Ohlendorf }
| SS Gen. Otto Ohlendorf, anotherl
' lawyer, who directed the extermi
| nation of more than 90,000 persons
' in Russia.
SS Gen. Oswald Pohl, overlordi
| of all Nazi concentration camps,’
| and destroyer of the Warsaw|
| Ghetto. i
f The last to be hanged were;
| Lieut. Hans Schmidt and Sgt.l
l Georg Schallermair, two minor
| concentration camp officials. The
- last of the men was pronounced
| dead at 2:30 a. m. }
The series of executions marked
the end of a tireless fight by Amer-'
! ican and German defense counsels |
'to save the seven men. Theirl
clemency appeals were rejected by !
Ihigh commissioner John J. Mec~
' Cloy and Gen. Thomas T. Handy
last January.
Twice 4fter that the men were
readied for death and saved at the
last mirute, by court action in
Washington. i

Big 3 Draffing
!
PARIS, June 7— (AP) —The |
Western powers delayed again to- |
day their answer to Russia’s terms |
for a Big Four meeting because |
they are unable to agree on what
to say.
Deputy Foreign Ministers of the
United States, Britain and France |
met ‘for two hours in the Foreign |
Ministry and then sent word to
Russian Deputy Andrei Gromyko
asking for postponément of their
meeting today. {
The Weéstern deputies are trying |
to draft an answer to Russia’s note |
of last Monday, in which the So
viet government agreed to go to a |
Big Four Foreign Ministers’ con- ¢
ference in Washington July 23, |
but only on certain conditions. |
The conditions were that the |
ministers should discuss the North |
Atlantic Treaty and U. S. bases |
overseas. Western deputies say |
that is impossible, and that Rus- |
sia’s terms therefore amount to a |
refusal to attend a ministers’ l
meeting.
It was Acheson’s sixth day of
testimony at hearings by the Sen
ate Armed Services and Foreign
Relations Committees on the dis
missal of Gen. Douglas MacAr
thur.
Senator McMahon (D-Conn.), a
strong administration supporter,
raised the question of whether the
Yalta agreements weakened
Chiang's forces. He said his pur
pose was to dispel any notion that
the concessions to Russia “made
it possible for the Chinese Com
munists to have a, victory in
China.”
McMahon had Acheson read the
terms of the Yalta agreement-—san
understanding reached by Presi
dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill of Britain and Premier
Stalin of Russia at a February,
1945, meeting in the Russian town
of Yalta, [
Russia Agreed
Russia agreed there to come in
to the war against Japan three
months after the defeat of Ger
many and, in return, was given
certain far eastern concessions.
After Acheson had read the
terms, McMahon observed that
neither he nor the cabinet mem
ber was a military strategist, add
ing:
‘“Have you ever heard or have
you ever been told of any military
connection between the defeat of
Chiang Kai-Shek and those con
cessions that were made to the
Soviet Union at Yalta?”
“No, Senator McMahon, I think
there was none,” Acheson replied.
Acheson has said the United
States was anxious at Yalta to get
the Russians into the far eastern
war in time to tie down 1,235,000
Japanese troops then in China.
In relation to this, McMahon
read a July, 1945, Serate speech
by Senator Wiley (R-=Wis.) ?f.;
manding that Russia get into
far eastern conflict. 7
Wiley Supports Mac
Wiley is a member of the pres
ent inquiry panel and has been a
supporter of MacArthur’s views in
the deposed general’s controversy
with the Truman administration
over Korean war strategy.
1t was the 29th day of the hear
ings.
After Acheson came back to the
witness chair, Senator Hicken~
looper (R-Iowa) told reporters he
would seek a “frank and clear”
statement from the cabinet officer
of the U. N. political objectives in
Korea,
Late yesterday Acheson took
issue with another Republican,
Senator Brewster of Maine, who
had fired sharp criticisn at him.
The cabinet officer challenged
Brewster’s contention that he
(Acheson) resorted to “bare-faced
distortion” in reviewing before the
committee Monday the administra
tion’s policy toward China. Brews~-
ter made the charge in a Senate
speech Tuesday.
Invited by Senator Kefauver (D~
Tenn.) to comment on Brewster’s
accusation, Acheson termed his
analysis of China policy “fair and
accurate,” and added:
“I do not think Senator Brews
ter’s characterization of it was
correct.”
Brewster Reply
Brewster replied he weould leave
it for the public “t 6 pass on the
issue of whether the secretary or
I were warranted in our con=-
clusions.”
That development came shortly
after Acheson told the inquiry
group the Allies do have a poli
tical objective in. Korea, and that
he believes the military operations
now being carried on there indi=-
cate what the political goal is.
Acheson was no more specific
than that. However, he possibly
was alluding to a statement Sat
urday by the U. N, field comman
der in Korea, Lieut, Gen. James

0f Beef In
l By The Associated Press
. Whether Georgia will feel a beef
shortage depends largely on what
| happens at the big cattle markets
' west of the Mississippi.
| Beef still is fairly plentiful on
| butchers’ shelves, but the govern
ment’s price rollback order might
]change things in a week or 10
| days.
' Most cattlemen and packing
| house representatives agree that
| there is more beef on the hoof than
ever before. The question is, will
‘ farmrs put their cattle on the mar
ket under the new price program.
In Columbus, the manager of a
large meat packing plant said that
Tcity has an abundant supply of
beef, enough te last through a
temporary shortage. . But another
| packer said no beef can be éxpect
fed in Columbus markets next
week.
| And in Augusta, packinghouse
men forecast a serious shortage
within a week or 10 days unless
the government and the cattle
raisers work out some mutually
acceptable price policy.
{ E. S. Papy, manager of the
| White Provision Company in At
! lanta, said that 60 to 75 per cent
| of Georgia’t.top grade beef comes
| from Western markets.
| “If the supply of beef cattle at
| these primary markets falls off,”
| he added, “You may be sure that
| the shortage will in time be re
| flected in the supply of beef in
| Atlanta and other cities of the
| country.”
| The current drought which has
burned up many pastures has kept
| local cattle moving to market in
| almost normal supply. Farmers
| can’t feed their herds so they are
| forced to sell at the government

Chorwon Fight
BY OLEN CLEMENTS
TOKYD, June 7.—(AP) —
Allied infantrymen swept
the Reds off a Korean moun
tain top four miles from
Chorwon today, breaching
outer defenses of the Com
munists’ “iron triangle.”
Capture of Mount Kodae
represented a gain of about
a mile—the longest reported
Thursday.
i The United Nations advance
ground to a halt in the mountain
ous eastern half of the 125 mile
! front in the face of North Koreans
' who wouldn’t give up.
i “They’ve suffered tremendous
f losses,” a U. N. officer said. “The
| bodies must be stacked on each
| other.”
| The U. N. advance in the west
{ was paced by infantrymen storm
ling up Mount Koroe, four miles
| southwest of Chorwon, They
| pushed the Chinese back to & point
| 40 miles from the deepest penetra--i
[ tion of their abortive spring offen
| sives.
| Atop the 2,700 foot hill, United
| Nations forces dominate entrance=-
’ways to the Chorwon-Kumhwae
! Yonggang triangle. On their left
{ is the Seoul-Chorwon highway.
“On their right is the opening of
{ Pyonggang valley, which splits the
| triangle.
i Chorwon itself lies in front,
| Only one low hill stands between
i the Allies and the city.
Reds Dug In
' But front dispatches said the
| Reds have quit retreating. They've

| _The U. S. Eighth Army com
munique Thy sday night reported

| only two advances.
| Troops capturing Korae, and their
supporting forces, gained 1,000 to

| fights. ;
| U. N. forces on the east flank, |

Pay Hike Give
{ WASHINGTON, June 7—(AP)
—The Wage Stabilization Board
b
[ cracked the door last night for four
| cent hourly wage Increase in the
auto industry without loosing the
latch against a general pay hike.
- The 18-man panel unanimously
approved a “production” raise for
350,000 General Motors workers.
The same policy would apply to
other auto workers whose employ
- ers — like General Motors—would
- grant an equal increase without a
price boost on melr products.
Meet Today
Board members sald the action
could not be taken as an indi
cation of things to come in thelr
efforts to lay down a general wage
raise policy. Meeting again today
(1 p. m. EST) on that controver
sial problem, they said they were
trying hard to turn out soon &
general formula for pay increases,
The decision on productivity in
creases was announced afier a
long day of conferences between
gpard member and FEconomic
tabilizer Eric Johnston. Johnston
had called for a “tough hold-the
line policy but sald he would go
along with production increase !
bonuses up to two per cent pro
vided they were not used as basis
for price boosts.
The four cent boost slightly ex
ceeded the economic boss’ maxi
mum for most auto workers, who
average about SI.BO an hour.
On general policy, Jolnston
told reporterg last night he had
“insisted” on the board adopting
his recommendations to stand firm
against labor leaders’ demands
for raising the present 10 per cent
limit on pay raises to at least 15
per cent.
Later he asked that the word
“ingisted” be changed to “strong
ly recommended.”
Johnston Policy
Josnston’s hold-the-line policy
came as something of a surprise
in view of earlier indications that
a compromise might be in the of
fing to raise the lid.

time, it was said Johnston was

BY RUTH COWAN
WASHINGTON, June 7. — (AP) — House approval
seemed certain today on the compromise draft-universal
military training bill worked out by Senate-House econ
ferees. ;
The Senate approved the compromise last week. A
House okay would send the measure to the White House
for President Truman’s signature. The present draft law
expires July 9. R o i L
The bill extends the draft law
4 years to July 1, 1955; extends
the period of service from 21 to
24 months; requires registration of
all men between the ages of 18
and 26; and reduces the draft age
from 19 to years to 19 1-2,
Aliens To Serve
It also would make all draft
age male aliens admitted for per
manent resiaence liable to service.
WASHINGTON, June 7 —

tional security training commis
sion of five members, three of
whom, including the chairman,
must be civilians.
Within four months of their se
lection by the President and con
firmation by the Senate, the group
would recommend to Congress a
