Five persons lost their lives and thousands are homeless .in the most disastrous flood of Kansas history. Damage is estimated at $85,000,000.— (AP Wirephoto.) Spreading Flood Waters Paralyze Many Communities In East Kansas City Deficit Is Predi fed By c .l w. Councilman Albert Wier, jr., of the Second Ward issued a four page mimeographed statement to day charging that the City of Ath ens and the Board of Education ens, including the Board of Edu cation will close the year with a deficit. Councilman Wier predicted the deficit “will run between $30,~ 000.00 and $115,000.00.” Councilman- Wier said that at the last meeting of Mayor and Couneil, “F was unable to- fully make a statement my my conclu sions” (on the City financial sta tus), “as the Mayor repeatedly tried to stop me and brush the matter aside as no maiter for the council to consider.” “Since 1 was unable to fully make my point in the Council meeting, and since the Athens Banner-Herald did not fully re port the meeting, I have prepared this statement.” The following is taken from The Banner-Herald dated Wednesday, July 4, reporting the last meeting of the Mayor and Council: “Councilman Albert Wier ex pressed doubt that the city would be kept within its 1951 budget, at the rate some of the departments are spending. The Mayor said it is not unusual for a municipality to spend more than half of the budget in the first six months but that he would guarantee the city would end this year within the budget.” The above summary of what Mr. Wier said at the last meeting of Mayor and Council reports that Mr. Wier predicted a deficit in citv finances. In his four-page statement, Mr. Wier again predicts a deficit. The Banner-Herald printed his previous prediction. It is today printing his repetition of that predictions round In Box VALDOSTA, Ga., July 13— AP)—Portions of a dismembered uman body — sawed bones and ccaying flesh—have been found a beer box near Highway 129, chols County Sheriff Bill Smith ported today.

Kansas Clty, Kas.,, and Topeka —the state’s second and third largest cities—were the newest areas to feel the full force of the wild Kansas river, Aircraft or ail types were being used in an effort to overcome the paralyzing .grip of flood waters. Scores of communities are inun dated. At least 11 persons have died in Missouri and Kansas floods during the past week. The Kansas river poured over a levee this morning into the heavily industrialized Armourdale dis trict in Kansas City, Kas. The ma jority of the 15,000 residents had been evacuated but some were forced to flee at the last minute. Fire added to the fury of the flood. L Bl Fives lumberyard and a warehouse were burning out of control. The fire started from Dblazing gasoline floating on the waters. . The gas oline come from a half-submerged service station. . The flood hampered fire depart ment ‘equipment that sought to reach the scene. Property estimated at $40,000,- 000 is in the Armourdale district. The area contains soap making and meatpacking industries as well as huge freight yards, grain elevators and other plants. Factory whistles sounded short ly after the water poured over the dike, warning the remaining resi dents to flee. All traffic into the area was halted, except for emer gency yehicles, - Chief of Police Earl Swarner said most of the residents who waited until the last minute tled in automobiles loaded down with bedding and prized possessions. 3 Dike Smashed - Earlier the river smashed a dike protecting another Kansas City area, flooding the 4,000-acre Argentine district. Water 12 feet deep swirled around some homes! and business establishments. Somei 3,500 persons in the district were | evacuated. ‘ In Topeka, the state capital, ref ugees poured into the municipalj auditorium, the Masonic hall, ho tels and private homes. Almost 20,000 persons in the city of 80,000 have been forced ‘to flee their homes. l Two bridges linking the north and south sections of the city have‘ bgen swept away by the Kanhsas river. Wichita, the state’s largest city,‘ was preparing for flood waters. The little Arkansgs river was exe pected to sweep into the city to-‘ night. The smaller towns were takingi a beating too. Frank Tiffany, an Associated‘ Press reporter who flew over east (Continued On Page Two) | Giant Air F WASHINGTON, JULY 13— (AP)—Senator Lodge (R-MASS) proposed today that the United States build a 150-group air force to assure itself the mightiest in the world. He estimated the cost at $74,000,000,000 (B) over a three year period. Lodge told a Senate appropria tions subcommittee the U. S. will have only a “second best” air force when it reaches the 95~ group goal set by the administra tion. “We risk national disaster unless we move faster and greatly raise our sights,” Lodge said in a state~ ment given to the group. “We must no longer be content with muddling along in an atmos phere of business as usual.” An air force “group” is a term not easily translated into numbers of planes. The planes in a group vary according to the size of the planes . A heavy bomber group, for in stance, consists of 80 ‘planes. *A‘ fighter group hag 75 planes. . —POLITICS— No Time Limit On lke's Job N iKeS 20D, BY JACK BELL WASHINGTON, July 13.—(AP) —President Truman has added to the confusion about 1952 Presi dential prospects by saying there is no time limit on-General Dwight Db Eisenhower’s European defense job. Mr. Truman told his news con ference yesterday he and the five star general have no understand ing about how long Eisenhower will remain as commander of the North Atlantic forces. b gzn;; ﬁ publicans who want candidate next year have been hoping Eisenhower could step out early in 1952 and turn the defense job over to somebody else. They apparently were assuming he had promised the President to serve a year to get the program started and then would be free to resume his civilian role as presi dent of Columbia University — or some other job. Unhappy Prospect The prospect that Eisenhower might still be in uniform next June when their nominating con vention gets underway is not viewed happily by this group. Mr. Truman told reoprters he had had no recent discussion with the General about politics, adding he could only indulge in specula tion as to whether Eisenhower is a Republican or a Democrat. Some Democrats have suggested the General as a candidate on their ticket, if Mr. Truman doesn’t run. When a reporter said Mr. Tru man had declared in 1948 that Eisenhower had assured him he never would run for President, he insisted that the newsman elimi nate the word “never.” The President said Eisenhower’s statement applied to 1948 and he took the General at his word so far as that year was concerned. But that was as far as Eisenhower went, he said. Truman Healthy The President said he himself is as fit as a fiddle and still young enough to make a good race—foot race, he meant, A visiting reporter from Macon, Ga., brought this on by observing that the President looked younger (Continued On Page Two) ATHENS AND VICINITY Partly cloudy and rather hot today, tonight and Saturday.

Unrestricied Movement Of Allied Negotiators Demanded By Ridgway Curbs Responsibility Given Congress By HST BY BARNEY LIVINGSTONE WASHINGTON, July 13.— (AP)—President Truman'’s assertion that responsibility for a workable controls law now rests with Congress drew a sharp counter-volley today from Republican lawmakers. They blamed the White House, in talks with newsmen, for the nation’s current inflation troubles. Illinois Racial Housing Dispute Resulfs In Rios CICERO, 11., July 13.—(AP)— A racial housing dispute, simmer ing for three days, erupted into a full-scale riot last night as bayo net-swinging National Guardsnren and police battled an wunruly, brick-throwing mob in Cicero streets. The 450 Guardsmen and police fought the hooting, jeering men and women—all white—for more than twe hours before quelling the riot. No negroes were at the scene. None live in Cicero, a city of 70,800. But it was the renting of an apartment by a negro family. that touched off the first disturbances Monday night. Last night’s fight ing, as a crowd of 4,000 milled near the apartment building, cli maxed three nights of disorders. Eleven Hospitalized Eleven persons, including fhree soldiers and three policemen, were hospitalized. Wﬂm ‘were cut by bayonets, Others were injured by stones and bricks hurl ed at the soldiers and police from among the incensed throng of about 4,000. An undetermined number of civilians suffered bruises and cuts in the melee between the mob and steel-helmeted soldiers and police in one of the worst riots in the Chicago area in several years. Police cars were overturned. Lighted flares were tossed into the windows and onto the roof of a 20-apartment building — focal point of the disturbance. Firemen dodged a barrage of rocks and stones to douse the fires. Police rounded up 50 persons after the crowd had dwindled during the early morning hours. They were taken to the Cicero police station for questioning and were held without charge. Order was established shortly before 1 a. m. (EST), more than tw;) hours after the fighting broke out. Guardsmen On Duty About 250 Guardsmen were as signed to remain on duty at the scene all night. Last night’s fighting climaxed three nights of violent disorders. The first disturbance came after Harvey E. Clark, jr., 29, a negro bus driver for the Chicago Transit Authority, and his family mroved furniture into an apartment he rented, The furniture was dump ed out and burned by a mob Wednesday night. Dial Telephone System Te Be Installed Here Conversion to the dial system, necessitating completely new equipment and a large new build ing at a cost of considerably more than a million dollars, is being planned for Athens by the South ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company. The announcement was made by W. O. McDowell, District Manager, after receipt of a letter from Geor gia Manager Lane Hubbard. Mayor Jack R. Wells had written Mr, McDowell asking about the possi bility of the company converting to the dial system here and Mr. Hubbard’s letter was in reply. Detailed engineering for the dial system will begin on or about Oc tober 1, 1951. This will require ap proximately twelve months to complete and compile the list of materials involved, Mr., McDowell said. Corner of Reese Street As soon as the engineering has been completed the order will be placed for the dial system and construction of the new building will be started at 145 Reese street on property purchased for this purposé some time age by the company. . Actual installation of the dial system, Mr. McDowell said, will begin as soon as cge equipment , actured, with an an mnﬁmmew _date of early Rep, Taber (R.-N.Y.) said Mr‘ Truman “has double-crossed the people.” ' Rep. Jensen (R.-Towa) said the President “is getting ready” for the 1952 political eampaign. ‘ As the House continued to ride roughshod over administrationi controls proposals, Mr. Truman‘ told his news conference yester day he has done all he can to geta \ strong bill passed and that Con gress must now take responsibility | for the kind of law it finally fashions. Rep. Halleck (R.-Ind.), a GOP‘ floor leader, said he agreed that Congress had the responsibility, “and we're going to give him a fair and equitable controls bill.” “But if he doesn't do' any better with it than the one we gave him last September when we passed the first Defense Production Act, the country can’t expect very much. “Good Bill” “He’'ll get as good a bill as he did last September, when he said . he didn’t want any controls—a bill he refused to use until Jan. 25 of this year.” | Jan. 25 was the date the gov ernment imposed a general price wage freeze. Some provisions of ] the law had been employed earli er. Rep. Reed (R.-N.Y.) said it was the administration “which has been doing all the proposing that has brought us to severe infla -4 tion.” Taber, the GOP’s fiscal spokes g_m;in theHm‘x;%aidt:ansi «dent had been “pouring kerosene” LR S controls at the same time. =~ Democratic House Leader -Me- Cormack of Massachusetts agreed with the President’s stand on the responsibilities of Congress. “The President is absolutely right,” McCormack declared. “Right now there is a powerful coalition of special interests at work to destroy the controls pro gram. It's their responsibility.” Talking to newsmen at the White House, Mr. Truman said he has done all he can to get a strong controls law enacted, and that he does not plan any further action. Any comment on what Congress is doing, he added, would be made | when the finished legislation { reaches him. | Meanwhile ‘ l In the meantime, however, Of fice of Price Stabilization (OPS) lofﬁcials appeared determined to | make a last-ditch fight for the stronger controls Mr. Truman has requested. Price Chief Michael V. DiSalle said that if Congress eliminates the first rollback on cattle prices,l consumers will have to pay ten per cent more for beef than they now are paying. House leaders today planned the customary recess over Saturday and Sunday, with debate contin uing next week on the bill to ex tend federal controls over wages, prices, rents, and other phases of the ‘economy. | House Democratic leaders were able to offer little more than to ken resistance yesterday to the (Continued On Page Two) ‘ summer of 1953. Approximately six months will be required to complete the installation and ef fect the cut over from manual to dial operation, he said. Mr. McDowell added that the preliminary survey necessary for the detailed engineering, is already under way and will be completed on or about October 1, this year. The District Manager pointed out that this schedule, of course, is dependent upon the availability of materials and the degree of the national emergency. Time Element He says that the. considerable time: elemrent involved in such a conversion is due to the fact that dial systems have to be manufac tured on a custom made basis in order to fit in with the company’s outside distribution facilities. In other words, the dial system for Athens must be manufactured for Athens and would not be adapt able for use in some other ex change excepting certain items which are mass produced. ‘ In his letter, Mr. Hubbard men tioned the remarkable growth of Athens in recent years, saying it has been greater than that for the ]‘ South as a whole, and he cited the fact that at the end of the war, in ! August of 1945, Athens had 4,720 telephones and it now has almost 1 exactlx twice that number, or 9,447.""

As a result the United Na tions broke off cease-fire negotiations with the Com munists in Kaesong. General Matthew B.

BY STAN CARTER U. 8. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea, July 13. — (AP) — Allied troops today advanced up to three miles through heavy Réd gunfire in a limited objective attack on the east-central front. The fighting, southeast of the Red base of Kumsong, was the .maig ground action in the Korean war. ~_U. S. night fighter planes shot down two small Red planes near the Allied peace camp at Munsan, ‘one Thursday night and the other Friday. - While cease-fire talks in Kae song remained stalled, there were persistent reports of Red buildups behind the lines. But an Allied officer on the western front said there was noth ing to indicate the Reds were pre paring to launch an offensive in the immediate future. He said, however, their “cap abilities are increasing.” 350,000 Reds Latest estimates placed enemy strength at 350,000 men across the front and immediately in reserve. An Allied patrol in the west Thursday observed a Chinese Com munist company southeast of Kae song, at the edge of the neutral zone between Munsan and Kae song. Farther southeast of the neutral zone, the same Allied patrol was fired on by about 50 Reds. AP Correspondent George A. MecArthur reported from the east ern front that Allied infantrymen from the Hwachon reservoir to the east coast relaxed Friday for the first time in six weeks. Only one Allied patrol made contact with Reds in that area. McArthur said Communist mor tars and artillery harassed Allied lines Thursday night but were sil ent Friday. U. S. Far East Air Forces planes flew 500 sorties Thursday through low clouds and rain. Air Activity Light bombers and fighters kept up their attacks on Red airfields and supply and transportation points. B-29 Superforts Thursday night struck heavily at Red frontline positions with four hundred 500- pound bombs that burst just above the Reds.

Kennedy, former Commissioner of Public Safety, was shot six times on June 30 and died seven days later. Mrs. Kennedy was quoted by police as saying she shot her husband after he struck her. She is in Richmond county jail. Coroner N. F. Widener said Dr. D. M. Silver, Richmond county physician, testified at the inquest yesterday that Kennedy died of uremic poisoning. Widenér said Dr. Silver specified that uremic poisoning was the primary cause of death and that the six gunshot wounds were secondary. Dr. Silver also testified Kennedy had an aggravated heart ailment and diabetes. “Not one of those six shots was fatal,” Widener quoted the phy sician as saying.

N. Demands- BY NATE POLOWETZKY SEQUL, Korea, July 18, (AU)—The Allied commu_lz told the Reds today : Korean war cease-fire talks will b resumed only when Unite Nations delegates have unres stricted movement in an area free of armed guards. General Mathhew B. Ridgs way sent that virtual ultimae tum to top Communist come manders after the Reds ree jected an Allied demand that news correspondents g’ accepted as part of U. N, personnel in the econference area. The supreme commander de~ manded that: 1. The Reds get their lrmoci guards out of Kaesong—origina site of armistice talks—or agree to meet somewhere else. 2. End “unreasonable and une necessary restrictions” on his nes gotiators and let them move free~ ly. 3. Accept anyone he names ag part of the U. N. delegation. Ridgway’s message was broad cast just two hours and 20 minutes after the Reds rejected the third point, originally made yotted:} by Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief U, N. negotiator. The rejection came from North Korean Gen. Nam 11, chief Red sease-fire delegate, in a reply to oy. Nam suggested the delegates meet at 1 p. m. Friday (10 p. m. Thursday, EST) for further dis cussions. UN Answer The U. N. answer came at 1:15 p. m, in Ridgway's expanded de~ mand.'uﬂ Thursday. nuath Joy f - that . - tions would be resumed as soon as the Communists agreed to pass any U. Ngenonnel designated by the Alli command, Inecluding newspapermen. G Nam replied: *“Neither side’s news reporters or news represen tatives can come into the area un til both sides have agreed.” This reply was delivered so a U. N. Haison officer at 10:55 a, m. but the Allled command dld not announce it untfl 12 hours later— after Nam’s message had been broadcast by both the Red Peiping and Pyongyang radios. The deiay was not explained. “This reply offered no settle ment of the Issues contained in General Ridgway’s message to Generals Kim Il Sung and Peng Teh-Huai, which wag then m paration and alter broad at 1315 hours (1:15 p. m.) today. “No reply to General %&- way’s message has been received.” Kim is the North Korean pre mier. Peng is the commander of Chinese troops in Korea. By going directly to them, Gen eral Ridgway took the issues out of the handgs of the.cease-fire del egates. The U. N. commander blamed “unreasonable and unnecessary restrictions” imposed by the Reds upon the U. N. representatives for the interruption of negotiations. ’ He insisted negotiations eould be resumed only in an area “eom ‘ pletely free of armed personnel of efther side” and in an atmosphere of “complete reciprocity of trest ‘ ment.” 3 | Demands Exchanged ~ Amid the exchange of demands, ' a hopeful note was sounded by Lt. Gen. Sir Horace Robertson, white hafred Australian who eommands British Commonwealth forces in Korea., He said: “The United Nations has carried out the war with great success, ~and I feel sure they will arrange ~a peaceful settlement with equal success.” ~ Ridgeway’s message was broad cast in English, Chinese and Ko rean; from Korea and Japan; from shoreg and ship stations. And an air courier delivered it at the Red road block between the Allies’ peace camp at Munsan and Kae song. It >was at the road bleck that Communist guards halted a U.

Ridgway made three propesals to implement his demands, .If they are met, he ‘said, the con ference can be “resumed without delay and with some expectation of progress.” Ridgway proposed: 1. A circular area radiating five miles from Kaesong be declare neutral. (There is no mutually agreed neutral area now.) 2.
