Newspaper Page TextCOTTON Vol. CXIX, No, 153, (itizens Vote Tomorrow On Home Rule For Athens Reaches Final ' Drafting Stage gy EDWARD E. BOMAR WASHINGTON, July 10—(AP). Restoration of Japan's indepen dence without formal restrictions on its military, political and eco nomic development is provided by the latest and nearly final draft of a peace treaty. The United States has submitted )0 the major wartime Pacific Al fies the 5,500-word revised draft of a proposed “peace of reconcilia~ tion” expected to be signed in two monthe with few chances. The new text was made avail- | able today to the Associated Press. The State Department is cir culating the proposed treaty in the expectation that it will be ac cepted by the other governments —exceptßussia—for signing with only minor alterations. This coun- | try has proposed that a peace con serence be held at San Francisco Sept. 4 to 8. The White House said yesterday President Truman may be in Sanl Francisco at the time but that it is not certain he will attend the actual signing. Treaty Revision ‘ The treaty revision reflects the l settlement of differences between the U. S. and Britain worked out by Ambassador John Foster Dulles in recent conferences at London, and negotiations on the Philippine demand for reparations. It rules out reparations as such on grounds Japan does not have the capacity to pay. The treaty, however, requires Japan to negoti ate possible compensation for the | Philippines and other occupied countries. by making available Japanese industrial skills and serv=- Ices. In major outline the text follows the pattern of tentative drafts which Dulles and the other negoti ators have had under considera tion for months. It is a document of seven major chapters and 27 articles, with the addition of two formal declarations by which Japan agrees to recognize the vali~ dity of a long series of internation=- al treaties. The treaty will clear the way for the projected separate pact by which the United States plans to retain troops in Japan and bases nearby, with Japanese consent. It calls for the withdrawal of “ATL occupation forces of the Al lied powers” within 90 days after the treaty becomes effective, but permits the “stationing or reten tion of foreign armed forces in Japanese territory under or in\ consequence of any bi-lateral or multi-lateral agreements which have been or may be made be tween one or more of the Allied powers, on the one hand, and Japan on the other.” Treaty Conditions ~ The proposed treaty would come in force when ratified by Japan and a majority of 14 other coun iries, including the United States. The others named are Australia, Burma, Canada, Ceylon, France, India, Indonesia The Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, United Kingdom, and Soviet Russia. ‘Thus Russia would be deprived of a veto which Moscow has been demanding in vainly urging a Pacific treaty drafted by the hig powers alone. It is considzred doubtful also that Tndia will sign, but the others are expected to go along, More than a score of other countries ‘which broke relations with Japan will also be invited to (Continued On Page “wo) Russell Services St Wednesday Funeral services for Mrs. Luc)'i Coruth Russen, age 73, of Comer, ill be held tomorrow at 3:30 p. m. at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.

The former wife of John E. Drewry, Dean of Journalism at the University of Georgia, was sen tenced to two to four years in prison for shooting and wounding the former Miriam Thurmond at the Thurmond home in Athens. Drewry aiso was wounded in | the shooting on the night of Dec ember 23, 1949. The Supreme Court’s opinion was written by Justice Tom S. Candler. It ordered a new ftrial for Mrs. Drewry on the grounds that a remark by the trial judge was prejudicial. | During the trial, Solicitor Gen- | eral Marshall Pollock said there is no such thing as temporary insan ity in Georgia law. Judge Henry West remarked from the bench, “I have never heard of it, but I am not an expert. 1s there a defini tion of law as to temporary insan~ ity?” . Later the judge told the jury that he was not expressing an opinion but twice instructed the jury that temporary insanity is not recognized. The Supreme Court opinicn re viewed that part of the tri:l and declared: \ | “Whether the accused is guilty or innocent, she has not in our opinion had a fair trial under the Constitution and laws of her state.” J The trial court should have granted a defense motion for a‘ mistrial after the Judge's remark about temporary insanity in the ‘presence of the jury, the opinion ‘said. The reversal was a 6 to 1 decis ;ion. Justice W. Y, Atkinson dis sented. \ The conviction of Mrs. Drewry previously had been affirmed by the Georgia Court of Appeals. Shufelt Retires Col. James V, V. Shufelt, head of the University of Georgia’s mil itary science and tactics depart= ment, has retired after 33 years of distinguished army service. Col. shufelt came to the Uni | versity in August, 1938. During | Worl2 War II he spent three years sverseas, principally in North lAfrica. While in that sector he was commander of the Southern Mediterranean Base Section, Later he served as commanding officer of the North Africa Service Com ’mand. He returned to the Uni versity after the war. Upon his retirement Brig. Gen. George H. Weems, commanding officer of the Georgia Military District, presented Col. Shufelt with a certificate of achievement. Governor Dewey Visits Warfront A TFRONTLINE COMMAND POST, Korea, July 10—(AP)— Thomas E. Dewey toured the frontlines of Korea Monday.

Representatives Chappell Mat~- thews and Grady Pittard of Clarke county, supported the Home Rule legislation and voted for adoption of the bill making Home Rule pos sible for those communities de-' siring it, thus giving back to Ath ens people themselves power which Senator Stephens points out ‘ is held now by himself and the two representatives from this county in the General Assembly.

The statement by Senator Ste phens, outlining his reasons for mptﬁﬁng Home Rule legislation in the last session of the General { Assembly and pointing out the advantages to local commrunities that will come from approving Home Rule follows: BY ROBERT G. STEPHENS, JR. Senator, Fiftieth District of Georgia On the eve of the “Home Rule” election in Athens on July 11th, I deem it my duty as Senator from the 50th District of Georgia (com posed of Clarke, Oglethorpe and Wilkes counties) to report to the people of this district my reasons for working for the passage of the Home Rule Act of 1951 in the re cent session of the General As sembly of Georgia. Without adoption by the people of Athens of “Home Rule,” my work for the advantages to a city under the Act would be incom plete. First, the primary advantage of “Home Rule” over the system now used is the provision that no. change can be made in the funda mental structure of the city gov ernment unless voted upon by the people directly affected. Under the practice before “Home Rule” is adopted, an act of the General Assembly is all that is required to effect a change. All that is necessary to change the basic form of any city govern ment is the agreement of the mem-~ bers in the House of Representa tives and the district State sena tor. . It is immraterial whether the change is desired by the Mayor and Council and immaterial whether the change is desired by the department of the city direct ly concerned. And, most import | ant, it is immaterial whether such change is desired by the people who live in the city. The only deterring feature to the legislative representatives is the political effect of their actions on the next election for office. Slight Safeguard Of course, there is a slight safe guard provided from the arbitrary whim of the chosen legislators. It is required by the Constitu tion that they publish the intent to introduce the local legislation and that the advertisement state the general nature of the change (Continued on Page Two.) years since it was organized.

Writer Hammett Reds’ Bondsmen NEW YORK, July 10—(AP)— Mystery Writer Dashiell Hammett today sought to obtain bail for himself after landing in jail for refusing to tell who furnished bond for four fugitive convicted Communist leaders. The author of the “Thin Man” series and “The Maltese Falcon” drew a six~months contempt-of court sentence last night. il Federal Judge Sylvester +J Ryan denied him ball and sent him to jail. ; W. Alphaeus Hunton, a fellow trustee with Hammett for the Civil Rights Congress bail fund, got a similar sentence for not answering the court’s questions about the Red fugitives. Attorneys for the two men said they would appeal for bail today before a U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals judge. They said they would ask that Hammett and Hun ton, a regro, be released in bond pending appeal of the contempt sentences, - Papers Readied Meanwhile, . S. *mey Irving H. Saypol was drawing up legal papers to block the civil rights Congtess in future bail mat ters. He said the papers should be ready today. Saypol said the action would come in a move to revoke slßl,- 000 in bail put up by the Congress for 15 Communists under indict ment on conspiracy charges. If this move fails, Saypol said, he will ask that the bond be in creased. Judge Ryan’s sentencing of Hammett and Hunton followed the pattern in the contempt citation of millionaire Frederick Vander bilt Field, another bail fund trus tee. Field, great great grandson of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, was sent to jail for 90 days Fri day by Judge Ryan. Federal Ap peals Judge Thomas W. Swan al lowed Field’s release in SIO,OOO bail, and Field finally obtained his freedom yesterday afternoon. The appeals court is on vaca= tion, and attorneys had to journey to New Haven, Conn., to see Judge Swan. His decision came too late Friday for Field to obtain his release before the weekend. It was expected that attorneys for Hunton and Hammett also would go to New Haven to see Judge Swan. Field Paid Own Bond Although Field put up his own money, in cash, for his bail, the government demanded a co-surety before releasing him. C. B. Bald win, of Greenwich, Conn., agreed to guarantee Field’s not jumping bond. Baldwin is executive secre tary of the Progressive Party and was Henry Wallace’s presidential gampaign manager in 1948. Judge Ryan has been question ing persons connected with the Civil Rights Congress bail fund in the hope of getting a lead to the fugitives. He said a clue to their whereabouts might be ob (Continued Un Page Two) ATHENS AND VICINITY Partly cloudy and warm through Thursday. Scattered thundershowers both Wednes« day amd Thursday afternoons.

Progress Reported Toward An Armistice Talks Agenda Allies Desi Stable Peace, BY NATE POLOWETZKY SEOUL, Korea, July 10.— (AP) —Cease-fire represen tatives today ‘‘made prog ress toward an agenda to g}mcuss an armistice,” United ations representatives said tonight. Discussions will be resum ed at 10 2. m. Wednesday (7 p. m. Tuesday, EST) in Communist - occupied Kae song. A communique issued by U. N. Commander General Matthew B. Ridgway’s head quarters said the two open= ing sessions on Tuesday were held in “an open and formal atmosphere.” At the outset of the talks Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, head of the five man U. N. delegation, an nounced discussions would be re stricted to military matters in Ko rea. He said the Allies would not talk about anything else—no poli tics, no economics, no military af fairs elsewhere. Allied war correspondents were not permitted in Xaesong. They ‘will not be allowed to go Wed nesday, either, as planned earlier. Brig. Gen. Frank Allen, chief of information, announced that plans to sénd 18 correspondents to Kaesong Wednesday were can celled because Geéneral Ridgway “will do nothing to jeopardize the success of the conference.” He said newsmen would be sent to Kaesong “after the conference is on the track and there is assur ance it will stay on the track.” 4 Officers Report The report on Tuesday’s uuionsl was given tp the press by an army officer who had not been at the four-hour Kaesong meetings. The Allies returned Tuesday night by helicopter to their “peace _camp” at Munsan without com ment. When they arrived at Kaesong in the morning, the briefing offi cer said, the U. N. officers were met by American jeeps which pre ceded them there. Helicopter pilots had reported the delegation was met by 15 jeep loads of Chinese, including some bearing side arms. They said “armed Chinese stood guard around the field where the helicopters were parked throughout the day. The briefing officer said the American jeeps earried the U. N.’s two admirals and three generals to U. N. House. They traveled under armed Communist escort. As the briefing officer was mak ing his report the North Korean Communist radio at Pyongyang said that withdrawal of all foreign troops was one of the conditions of peaceful settlement of the Ko rean war. The Red radio said eventual so lution of the Xorean problem should be left to the Korean peo ple themselves, However, the Kaesong talks, as the U. N. viewpoint was outlined by Admiral Joy, will be restricted (Continued On Page Two) DAY Commander To Be Honored Joe Brown Connally Chapter, DAV, will be hosts to State DAV Commander John Snelling and Department Adjutant James Hen derson, both of Gainesville, at a banquet to be held at Charlie Wil liams Camp Thursday night at 8 o’clock, it was announced today.

Annual Reading Confab Begins On Campus Here The road to lasting peace may begin in America’s elassrooms and in the books that children read. That is. what more than 400 Georgia school teachers were told here Monday at an opening session of the annual Reading Conference at the University of Georgia. Challenged to work for world understanding and brotherhood, the teachers were told that they must inspire in their students a love for reading the right kind of literature. The chalienge was made in a panel discussion at the Monday afternoon session of the three-day conference. Six Georgia teachers participating in the panel agreed that “literature can be a force to bring about world understanding.” The 400 teachers are meeting on the campus so exchange ideas on BSR e R v TR 4 ‘*’%«%&& g ' e R N, oS p L : ! e "',;;:»?'*-;ny.‘;‘ % . e \ .9 LS G £ § ; e ; 1 POV S R 8 : - AR B e T | LS e B t g TS w? % i : ::{f%f: i ?.z ~ 5 o e &:w kS & v.;-i:}_‘». .; .':’*:f‘ ‘s ¥ { ' : {é E 9 . b 4 e L *é day o R ” E e : e i ' i 5 : E .

Administration forces in the House laid cautious claim today to prob= able limited victory in the big bat tle over economic controls. Still ahead, however, loomed the crucial struggle over price rollbacks, in which farm state members appeared united for an all-out drive to wipe out roll backs—past and future—on every kind of farm product. With the House locked in bitter controversy, administration and labor union spokesmen kept up a drum fire of pleas for continued strong controls, mixed with pre dictions of disaster if they are not needed. 1. Mobilization Director Charles E. Wilson called on the nation not to be lulled by the prospect of a Korean truce into easing up on controls or the rearmament effort. 9. Price Stabilizer Michael V. DiSalle told farmers failure to control prices would hurt them most of all. 3.

S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD QUARTERS, Korea, July 10.— (AP)—Small groups of Reds to day infiltrated the old Chorwon- Kumhwa-Pyonggang iron triangle of the west-central front. Intelligence officers said the Reds “want control of this area. They probably are sending down ‘enough men to ambush any of our patrols.” The heart of the triangle is only 47 air miles northeast of Kaesong, where Red and Allied negotiators today began peace talks. ‘ Sharp but relatively minor skirmishes dotted the entire bat tle front. An Eighth Army briefing officer said there was no report of mili tary activity of any kind today in the vicinity of Kaesong. Rain and poor visibility over all Korea limited Fifth Air Force pilots to only 22 effective sorties, Eighteen sorties were reconnais sance flights. Four B-26 light bombers made radar - controlled bomb drops in support of ground troops. B-29 Superforts flew through thick rain clouds and dropped 70 tons of bombs on important Red supply centers at Sinpo and Ko won on the east coast of North Korea, The big planes flew from Oki nawa. They used radar to find their targets. The Communist radio at Pyong yang claimed big victories in both ground and air action. The nightly North Korean com munique, monitored in Tokyo, said Red planes shot down six Allied jets. No details were given. The Red radio also said heavy damage was inflicted on Allied” ground troops on the central front, It said one U. N. battalion was “annihilated” and 11 machine guns and four arfillery pieces were captured or destroyed. There was no confirmation of any of these reports from Allied sources. | Pool Halls Out o In East Point EAST POINT, Ga., July 10.— (AP)—East Point city councilmen voted last night to close all pool rooms in the city—but they didn’t say when the order becomes ef fective, Action came after a delegation from three negro churches asked the council to refuse a license for a proposed billiard parlor near the churches. * '' HOME EDITION Bid Awarded For The bid for the constructien es the new and modern City and County Health Center was awards ed today to the Mathis Construe tion Company which submitted the lowest and best bid for considera= tion.
