ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Associated Press Service
Today, Saul Richman, the ac
tress’ specjal manager, said that
her condition was good and that
she would leave Roosevelt Hospi
tal “sometime this morning.”
Richman said that Miss Ma
thews visited Rose to discuss tele~
vision work and newspaper Tre
ports linking her name with the
showman, She was afraid the re
ports might jeopardize her career
and possibly cost the custody of
her young daughter, he said.
When police reached the apart
ment, Rose pleaded, “Hurry, see
if you can save her.. She tried to
commit suicide.” 3
One policeman quoted Rose as
saying, “I told her something.
Then she ran into the bathroom,
saying: ‘l'm going to ecut my
wrists.’ ” o
“The shmflifl:,* police said, de
clined to say what he had told his
blonde visitor.
Tourniquets Applied :
Police applied tournaguets to
Miss Mathews’ gashed wrists after
forcing their way into the bath
room. Regaining consciousness,
she objécted to going to a hospi
tal, saying that she wanted ‘“no
publicity.”
But she was ordered te go and
walked to the waiting ambulance.
While Miss Mathews was being
revived, the 50-year-old Rose re
marked to a policeman, “Now is
the time to have a wife. I'm going
to call Eleanor now.”
His wife, former swim star El
eanor Holm, arrived at the apart
men an hour later. She presuma
bly had been staying in the cou
ple’s suburban home in neighbor
ing Westchester county. She
brushed past newsmen without
speaking and rushed up to -the
apartment.
At the hospital, the actress told
police there was no “romantic
tiéup between Billy Rose and my
self. Nothing romantic at all.”
Berle Visits
Berle, who returned from a
European vacation Saturday, vis
ited his ex-wife in the hospital
room last night.
Rose, who owns the Ziegfeld

Price Rollback Fight
Now Raging In House
WASHINGTON, July 16—(AP)
The House returns today to its
hammer-and-tongs fight over eco
nomic controls with' administra~
tion forces . still trying to rally
from a series of setbacks suffered
last week.
A showdown is due late today
or tomorrow on the paramount
question of price rollbacks.
At issue is a proposal to ban
any future rollbacks on farm pro
ducts and to kill a 10 per cent beef
price rollback already in effect.
This proposed amendment to &
bill which would extend the ex
piring Defense Production Act has
heavy backing from a coalition of
Republicans and Southern Demo
erats, Several members _of this
group also favor a ban against
rollbacks on industrial products.
This same coalition has beaten
the administration on major
amendments already considered
during a week of House action,
refusing to give President Tru
man power to pay subsidies on

Martial Law |
In Tehran, Iran
BY ROBERT B. HEWETT
TEHRAN, Iran, July 16.—(AP)
—Premier Mohammed Mossadegh
proclaimed martial law in Tehran
today and ordered a big roundup
of Communists following rioting in
which between four and 16 per
sons were killed and more than
150 injured.
Police arrested more than 200
Leftists following last night’s riot
ing, which started with a Commu
nist demonstration protesting the
arrival of President Trunran's rep
resentative, W, Averill Harriman,
for talks with Mossadegh on the
oil nationalization ecrisis.
Reports varied on the number
of casualties in last night's fight
ing between the Red’s and Mossa
degh’s National Fronters. An offi
cial police communigue said one
policeman and three civilians were
killed. Earlier, however, the gov
ernment radio reported two police
men killed, and a high police
source said 14 civilians were dead.
Several bodies of members of
the underground Communist Tu~
deh Party were reported carried
away from the riot scene last
night for, Communist-style “mar
tyr funerals.”
Policemen Injured
The police communique said
policemen were injured }
enough to be hospitalized, w
153 others suffered less serious
hurts. It said six civilians were
critically injured, 55 others hos
pitalized and “many others” re
leased after treatment for minor
injuries. g
Harriman today laid a wreath
on the tomb of the present Shah’s
father, the late Shah Reza Pah
levi, then went to the Premier’s
home for the first meeting with
Mossadegh.
The U. S. envoy mrssed last
night’s violence. He and his wife
were staying at a palace 12 miles
up in the mountains.
The riot in Parliament Square
at dusk last night, which was
broken up by police rifle firé and
army tanks, gave violent impetus
to the tension between the Com
munist Tudeh and Mossadegh’s
Nationalists which has existed
since the nationalization law was
passed in May.
The Mossadegh government,
while standing firm on its program
to get the AIOC out of Iran, is
worried about Tudeh efforts to
use the popular oil nationalization
issue to spread Commumnist influ=
ence and disorder.
Today’s crackdown on the Tu
deh is the sharpest sinee the at
tempt to assassinate the Shah in
1949. Since then Hudeh has been
outlawed but has continued to
flourish under such front organ
izations as the “Partisans of Peace”
and the “Society to Fight the Im
perialist Oil Companies.”
Police raided the headquarters
of both organiaztions in the early
hours this morning. and arrested
several leaders. Left wing papers
also were suppressed by the police
today and did not publish.
Martial Law
One of the chief reasons for the
proclamation of martial law—
which bans gatherings of more
than three persons—was to pre
vent further demonstrations in
‘connection with the funerals of
the riot dead. Communists in the
past here have spirited the bodies
of any riot victims away and held
them for big mass funerais.
President Truman’s personal
envoy told reporters on his arrival
yesterday he is confident friendly
talks can settle the dispute over
Iran’s nationalization of the Brit=
ish-controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil
Company’s billion-dollar proper
ties. ¥
Harriman said he had no spe
cific proposals for a settlement,
but emphasized he had full Presi-‘
dential authority to discuss all as
pects of the nationalization dispute
plus United - States - economic ald
for Iran. :
He brought with him a personal
message - from- the President to
Premier Mossadegh.
Mossadegh accepfed President
Truman’s offer to send. Harriman
here after Britain and Iran broke
off talks seeking to settle the nat
ionalization dispute.
The deadlock has cut off all
(Continued On Page Two)
Barring a move to kill price,
wage and rent controls entirely—
and that appears unlikely—one
other big test remains before final
House action. The coalition still
wants to overhaul the Wage Stab
ilization Board and reduce its pre
sent powers,
With rollcall votes in prospect
on many of the amendments al
ready tentatively adopted, a {inal
vote on the House bill is not ex
pected before Thursday.
Meantime, administration forces
hope, without much optimism, to
pick up enough support on roll
call — recorded — votes to reverse
some of the previous unrecorded
actions. In any event, they want
a clear cut record of how every
member votes and they propose
to use It In next year’s congress
ional campaigns. .
Reg;blicans say they have noth
ing fear from roll call votes.
The bill they propose to give the
President, while far short of what
he wants, will, they claim, be ade
quate to control inflation. "

FLOOD AND FIRE MENACE KANSAS CITY AREA — Firemen in water to their
hips fight a fire that destroyed a flooded fuel tank depot and lumberyard in Kansas
City, Mo. Overturned tank contained part of 500,000 gallons of gasoline, diesel-oil
and naptha that exploded and burned. The burning oil spreads over water in the
background to light up the charred supports marking the site of the lumberyard.
Governor Forrest Smith declared a state of emergency for the entire state of Missouri
as surging flood waters started down the Missouri River. All Kansas City’s non-es
sential industries in the Kansas City area were ordered closed.— (AP Wirephoto.)

The exchange fook place dur<

ATHENS, CA.,, MONDAY, JULY 16, 1951.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 16—
(AP)—The nation’s costliest flood
passed its destructive peak in the
Kansas City area today and surged
on eastward in Missouri.
But this metropolitan area of
900,000 persons and eastern and
central Kansas still reeled from
the impact of high waters.
The twin furries of fire and
flood lashed at Kansas €ity, Mo.,
and Kansas City, Kas,, for the
fifth consecutive ciay.
Four industrial districts were
_ander water. Transportation was
crippled. The water supply was
curtailed. A seven - block fire
burned fiercely and destructively
—just as it has since last Friday.
In Eastern and central Kansas,
the swollen Kansas river and its
tributaries receded generally, per
mitting some of the thousands of
homeless to return to mud-caked
areas. |
More than 75,000 persons in both |
states were driven from their
homes. ‘
But many of the towns still
lacked power and water facilities.
Eastward in Missouri, the Mis
souri river crest rolled toward the
central part of the state. |
Its destructive power was still‘
there, but there were no great in
dustrial cities in its path.
Towns Dig Out
The towns along the river are
still digging out g a flood that
hit earlier this th. The Mis
souri rung 200 miles across the
state from Kansas City on the
west to St. Charles on the east.
There it empties into the Missis
sippl.
Seventeen deaths have been |
caused hy the gigantic flood. |
Gen. Lewis A. Pick, chief of the
army engineers, said last night it
appeared the cost will run consid
erably over the $500,000,000 he es
timated on his arrival from Wash
ington last weekend.
President Truman, who request
ed Pick to make a personal sur
vey, designated flooded parts of
both states as disaster areas.
Train and highway transporta
tion in both states is drastically
curtailed. The National Guard,
the Red Cross, Army, Air Force,
Navy and Coast Guard have
thrown men and money into the
fight against high waters.
In Washington, President Tru
man asked Congress for a $15,000,-
000 emergency fund to help alle
viate hardship in Missouri and
Kansas, ’
A House appropriations commit
tee was expected to approve the
fund today.
In this metropolitan area, mud
dy waters still swirled over thou
sands of acres of industrial dis
tricts. Waters, ranking from a
few feet to 20 feet deep, stretched
over railroad yards, livestock in
dustries, grain elevators, oil re
fineries, and manufacturing plants.
Fires last night destroyed 24
buildings and damaged others. At
least 14 men suffered injuries bat
tling the billowing flames in a
flooded section.
The fires were fed by more than
21,000,000 gallons of oil.
The. fire has enguifed lumber
yards and the storage tanks of
six oil companies. ‘lntermittently
firemen brought it under control
only to have it flare up again.
Violent Explosions ,
Violent explosions of fuel tanks
and naphtha tanks forced many
nearby residents, not in the flood
ed section, to flee their homes.
The fire area is in both Kansas
cities.
An explosive situation also ex
isted in the Fairfax industrial dis
trict—the last of three major in
dustrial areas to be flooded,
Water ranging up to 15 feet cov
ered much of the 3,000-acre area.

~ Communists Fulfill Agreement;
r
Conference Site Kept Neutral
By The Associated Press
MUNSAN, Korea, July 16.—(AP)—United Nations ne
gotiators reported they made ‘“‘some progress” today in
Korean war cease-fire talks held in a friendly atmosphere
with Communist delegates.
It was the first formal announcement of progress.
Negotiators are still working on the agenda. It may be
““24 hours or 24 days’’ before the agenda is completed and
actual negotiations on armistice terms get underway, &
spokesman said. : il .
Reds Ready For
Big Attacks If °
Peace Talks Fail
U. S. ARMY HEADQUARTERS,
KOREA, July 16—(AP)—Allied
officers said today the Reds are
prepared to launch a massive at
tack if cease-fire negotiations
break down,
A pooled dispatch from the ad
vance base at Munsan quated the
unidentified officers are saying
the Reds could throw 72 divisions
at the allies. A Red division is us
ually figured at 9,000 to 10,000
men.
They said the Reds could sustain
such an attack five to seven days.
Eighth Army plans in case the
cease-fire talks fail are of course
secret. But officers have noted
signs of a Chinese-North Korean
buildup. They assert the United
Nations troops are ready for what
ever the Reds try.
- Little Ground Action
There has been little ground ac
tion since the cease-fire talks
started. Both sides have had time
to rest and rebuild.
The Allied air effort has been
slowed only by the weather, U. N,
warplanes have pounded inces
santly at red airfields to prevent
the Communist transferring their
planes to bases south of the Yalu
River boundry with Manchuria.
The fifth air force flew 224 sor
ties by 6 p. m. Monday. The planes
concentrated their attacks on en
emy supply lines.
About 12 Russian-made Mig 15
jets were sighted in the Sinuiju
area in Northwest Korea by pa
trolling F-86 sabre jets.- The MAi%l
fled across the Yalu when the Al
lied planes turned to engage them.
Allied naval forces also have
paid little heed to end-the-war
talk. Cruisers and destroyers have
shelled Red rail and highway traf
fic, and have pounded harbor in
stallations on both the east and
west coasts of North Korea.
Red Units Cited
Eighth army officers reported
today that elements of a Commun
ist regiment were spotted South
east of Kaesong, site of the cease
fire talks. The Reds were outside
the five-mile neutral zone around
that battered city.
There was no report of any con
tact between Allied and Red forces
in that area,
Northeast of Kaesong, Allied ar
tillery fired on small groups of
Reds Monday.
HOME
EDITION
Two 55-minute sessions were
held Monday in neutrglized Kae«
song. The next meeting was seheds
uled for 11 a. m. Tuesday (8 p. m,
Monday, EST). .
There wasn’t an armed Commu-~
nist visible within half a mile of
the house where talks were held.
“It is much better now that we
are not surrounded by guards,”
said Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy,
chief U. N. delegate.
“The Communists have mng
their agreement with respect
the neutrality of the cont-m
site,” a U, N. communique
“in that no armed personnel was
observed.”
Armed Red military police were
in the war-battered city. They
were there by agreement resched
Sunday. Some smiled at the sec
ond group of 20 U. N. newsmen to
go into the city. Others scowled.
Formal Negotiations
The negotiations themselves
were conducted in a formal at
mosphere across a green-topped
table in a secluded conference
room.
“But it was not a fornrality that
would prevént au agreement,”
said Lt. Colonel Howard S. Levie
of New York, a U, N. ctaf? atficer
who was present.
“Everyone was more fnsndly
today than ever before.”
The two Chinese generals on
the five-man Red delegation espe
cially seemed to be in good spirits
at the afternoon session.
“The Chinese smiled when they
came back into the conference
room,” Levie said. “They nodded
to General Craigie,” Major Gen
eral L. C. Craigie is one of the five
U. N. delegates.
“Maybe,” the spokesmam sug
gested, “the Communists have
learned we are not the man eaters
they were led to believe from their
propagandists.”
Newsmen on the spot said both
sides appeared to be in harmony
at the end of Monday’s session.
Joy took the entire 55 minute
Monday morning session to pre
sent further arguments in saver of
the agenda proposed by the Amfd
delegation.
Two-Hour Recess.
They took a two-hour recess at
the Reds’ request.
Then in the afternoon, cigaret
smoking Ceneral Nam I, head of
the Red delegation, used anether
55 minutes to present his views. |
They talked only about agenda
ithéxs. An Allied announcement
said:
“The United Nations command
‘delegation reports that some pro
gress was made to the formation
of a mutual agreed upon agenda.”
A press dispatch from the truce
city said the five North Korean
and Chinese generals were scowl
ing as. they left the nrorning meet
ing.
But when the afternoon talks
