WASHINGTON, AUG. 10-—(AP)
_ Senator McCarthy (R-WIS.) of
fored today to let a ‘“committee
headed by a good Democrat” de
~ide whno is right in his latest feud
with the State Department and
«ome fellow Senators over his
charges of Communism in govern
ment.
He suggested Senator McCarran
(D-NEV.) and the Senate internal
security subcommittee he heads.
Under Senatorial immunity from
libel suits, MeCarthy yesterday
named 26 persons he identified as
State Department officials and em
plovees “charged with Communist
activities.”
This stirred Majority Leader
VcFarland (D-ARIZ.) to protest
orously against what he called
. Senater’s use of his immunity
to smear any individual” or be
come “a character assassin.”
And Senator Lehman (D-NY.)
charged that McCarthy had given
“slabby and dastardly treatment”
t, Ambssador Phillip C. Jessup,
one of the 26 on McCarthy’s list.
Jessup was not immediately av
ailable for comment but under
Secretary of State Carlisle H.
Humelsine issued a statement ac
cusing McCarthy of “smear tactics
in making this misleading list of
names public.” “
McCarthy challenged this and
declared he is anxious to have the
McCarran subcommittee “decide
the whole issue.”
Humelsine, who handles admin
istration in the State Department,
said McCarthy's list included two
persons who do not work at the
Department, 14 - who had been
cleared by the cepartment’s loy
alty board and 13 cases still un
der review.
McCarthy Confident
McCarthy said he also is confi
dent that all those on his list
“will be cleared because out of
hundreds and hundreds of cases,
the State Department loyalty
board has never found a person
unfit for government service.”
As soon as McCarthy concluded
his long speech, McFarland, a for
mer Arizona Judge, gave a lecture
to the Senate on its responsibili
ties and dignity.
He said that “our enemy, the
Kremlin” would be happy to see
discord and suspicion created about
the government and its leaders.

—State Department officials said

Communist: Poland, £ 55847 #7445
ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Associated Prisiiscrvico
In passing a $56,062,405,890
money bill to finance the military
establishment for the fiscal year,
the House declined by a vote of
131 to 84 to put a six-division lid
on U, S. contributions to the Euro
pean defense army.
Connally Remarks
Connally’s remarks, made at a
news conference, indicated that he
may be concerned over the possi
bility of a similar Senate test. His
warn’ng brought critical response
from several Republican senators.
The Senate checked its earlier
controversy over troops for Europe
in a resolution which said “it is
the sense” of the Senate that only
four U. S. divisions . .. in addition
to the two already there, ..
should be sent to Europe. :
However, this is not legally
binding on the President as com
mander-in-chief.
Connaly, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
spoke out shortly after his group
and the Senate Armed Services
Committee wound up joint hear
ings on the administration’s SB,-
500,000,000 foreign aid bill.
A similar bill—but cut to $7,-
848,750,000 — cleared the House
Foreign Affairs Committee last
night by a2oto 0 vote. It is slat
ed for rules committee clearance
next Monday, House debate start
ing Wednesday and House action
by the end of the week.
Bill Cut
The committee bill, $651,250,000
less than President Truman re
quested for military and economic
assistance to non-Communist areas
of the world, calls for direction of
the program by a chief with cabi
net rank outside the State Depart
ment.
While the fund cut in the House
measure was less than some ad
ministration leaders had expected,
they liked other committee-voted
changes even less.
In the latter category were com
mittee decisions to put all foreign
air programs under a single ad
ministrator; to terminate the eco
nomie coop;gation program (ECA)
next June 30, and to lim&:' shg -
tire aid program to June 30, ffi
Minstrel Time

The annual camp minstrel will
be presented here Saturday night
at 8 o’clock, with better than 50
members of the 1951 ‘Y” Camp

leaders, and cabin assistants, plus
everal other prominent camp fig
ures will make up the chorus and
cast.
The public is invited to attend
the minstrel. There is no admission
charge, but ‘Y” Camp takes no
responsibility for those whe can’t
enjoy a good laugh without serious
effect.
Girls from Camp Chattooga and
the parents and friends of Athens
“¥” Campers will be the honored
guests of the evening, joining the
more than 200 campers whe will

Soviet Spying
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10—(AP).
House investigators, their files bul
ging with secret documents, voiced
confidence today that they will get
many new details of Soviet spying
in the far east from Gen, Douglas
! MacArthur’s former intelligence
! chief. .
i The officer, Maj. Gen. Charles
A. Willoughby, told part of his
story to the Senate Internal Se
curity Subcommittee vesterday.
He linked several American and
foreign members of a World War
' I Russian spy ring with the in
stitute of Pacific relations.
Rep. Walter (D-Pa.) said the
general’s testimony would make
no change in the plan of the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee to hear Willoughby on Aug.
21 and 22.
Since last April, staff members
of the House group have been ex
amining two foot-lockers full of
documents seized by the Army
in Tokyo. These relate to Russia’s
Richard Sorge spy ring and to
other Soviet espionage activities
extending over a period of years.
The House committee delved
deep into the Sorge case yester

BLAIK AbMmlts *oreCIAL PROGRAM”—In an inter
view at West Point, N. Y., Army football Coach Earl
“Red” Blaik admitted a “special program” which lured
outstanding high school athletes into coming to the
Point. Blaik said recruiting was necessary in order to
field a varsity of reasonable caliber. He concedes that
the Academy recruited from five to 11 high school foot
ball players a year by inviting them to the Point for a
“cram course” to help them pass entrance examinations.
He defended the practice as “perfectly proper.” Blaik
is to remain as head coach at the Academy with the
blessing of the Superintendent.— (NEA Telephoto.)
Blaik Will Remain As
Army Gridiron Coach
WEST POINT, N. Y., Aug. 10. — (AP) — Earl Blaik,
electing to stay on as gridiron coach of an Army team
shattered by the eribbing scandal, has the blessing of the
Military Academy’s top commander.
Blaik announced his decision at a private news confer
ence in New York City yesterday.
Immediate reaction came from the Academy’s superin
tendent, Major General Frederick A. Irving, who said:

. PDavis was slain by two FBI

His bitter boast that he would

death when he resisted arrest. He

‘in a search since July 3. He was
accused then of stealing a car ir

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST CEORGIA OVER A CENTURY.
ATHENS, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1951.
“I am pleased that Red Blaik
is going to remain as head football
coach and director of athletics at
West Point. He is a fine, forth~
right gentleman in whom I have
the utmost confidence and I know
he will act in the best interests
of the military academy.”
In Washington President Tru
man is conducting a private in
quiry into football emphasis at
the nation’s service academies, in
cluding the operation of their ath
lete recruiting systems,
Truman Action
Mr. Truman, who is an avid
football fan told his news confer
ence yesterday he is attempting
to find a remedy for the situation
at West Point without killing the
patient. %
One White House official said
the President had no intention of
probing into the discipline in the
case, and added:
“What the Presidernt would like
to do is get college football back
to a real amateur standing.”
Although the President’s juris
diction is limited to the service
academies, aides said the all
sports inquiry possibly would dig
up information on athletic opera
tions at big colleges throughout the
nation.
Blaik’s decision to remain as Ar
my coach was not easy. The cheat
ing scandal—which involves 90
cadets—depletes his once-vaunted
football forces to a mere few.
His own son and star quarter=
back, Robert Blaik, awaits ex
pulsion on the cribbing charges.
The younger Blaik, who dis
closed only yesterday that he is
among the ill-fated 80, said he
is “tremenously pléased” that his
father will continue at the aca
demy.
As for himself, the son said:
“I'm going away with a com
pletely clear conscience. I have
the deepest feeling for West Point.
We made a mistake, We're going
to pay for it.”
Coach Blaik, speaking of ‘my
boys,” said ‘although they are in
error, I don’t believe any of them
is different fundamentally in a
character way.”
“There is no moral reason to
send them out into Army gervice
or to other colleges with anything
but the same type reputation they
had when they came in,” he said.
Blaik is hoping that the cadets
receive honorable discharges.
Opinion generally is divided on
this matter,
The cadets are accused of vio
lating the academy’s honor code—
of giving advance information on
written exams so their fellow
classmen.

State Provides
$1 Million For
Rebabilitation
SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 10—
(AP)—Gov. Herman Talmadge
says almost $1,000,000 is now
being provided for wocational
rehabilitation in Georgia,
Speaking to members of the
State’s Vocational Rehabilitation
Department at their annual ban
quet here last night, the Gover
nor said the amount of money
now being spent is the highest
in- history. The Georgia fund of
$900,000 is matched by federal
funds.
Talmadge painted an alarming
picture of the rural medical sit
uation. He said a recent health
department survey revealed that
seven counties are without a
private practicing physician.
Nine other counties have just
one doctor, he added.
The chief executive said the
new General Hospital and med
ical center planned for Augusta
will help relieve the doctor
shortage.

Report Reveals
Increase Of
Polio In Stafe
Over two hundred cases of in
fantile paralysis have been report~
ed in the state since January 1,
1951, according to Dr. W. W,
IBrown, Clarke County Commis
sioner of Health, :
The number of cases reported
this year is far greater than the
nunrber reported in recent years
for the same period. Although
every county adjoining Clarke has
already reported one or more
cases to date, there has not been
a case among the residents of
Athens or Clarke county.
A case from an adjoining coun
ty was brought to an Athens hos
pital recently, being admitted
after the generally accepted per
iod of communicability had ex
pired.
Infantile paralysis is a commu
nicable disease transmitted from
one infected person to another.
The means of transmission from a
sick to a well child is not known.
There nmray be many ways for your
child to become infected.
(1) By direct transmission of
the wvirus from another child or
adult case or carrier.
(2) Flies, mosquitoes and other
insects have not been eliminated
as possible carriers.
(3) Swimming pools may play
an important role in transmission.
It is doubtful that chlorine in the
amount available in an approved
swimming pool will destroy the
virulence of the polio wvirus.
(4) Contaminated food or drink,
insanitary equipment used in the
preparation of food. Faulty re
frigeration may be a factor. In
some localities swimming pools
are being closed and other precau
tions taken.
There has not been a case in
Clarke county but before many
more days pass we will probably
have one or more cases. The
Health Department requests the
cooperation of parents of all chil
dren under 16 years of age. The

Red Negofiators Ignore U. N.
Bids To Break Long Deadlock
BY ROBERT B. TUCKMAN
U.N. ADVANCE HEADQUARTERS, Korea, Aug. 10.—
(AP)—Deadlocked United Nations and Communist truce
negotiating delegations sat for two hours and 11 minutes
in dead silence today, each waiting for the other to change
his position. %
The unprecedented silence was precipitated, the United
Nations command said, when the Communists refused to
talk about anything except a buffer zone located where
they wantit. &
Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy,
chief U. N. delegate, proposed
several alternatives to break the
deadlock., Then he waited for
North Koréan Lt. General Nam 11,
head of the delegation, to reply.
Nam said nothing.
For 131 minutes, nobody spoke.
“The air was tull of electricity,”
said Brig. General William P.
Nuckols, official U, N. command
spokesman, !
Joy finally broke the silence.
When negotiations resumed
after a five day break, U. N. dele=
gates offered a series of alterna= |
tives intended to break the disa
greement over where to end the
shooting war.
Red Rejections
The Communists turned all U.
N. proposals down. |
The five Red generals refused
to consider anything except a buf=
fer zone back along the 38th par
allel,
~ The Red spokesman even re
‘sorted to more than two hours of
silence in an effort to gain his
point, a U. N. communique said.
The armistice talks appeared to
be at their most critical point
since they began a month ago to
day. The U. N. communique indi=
cated the tension ridden confer=
ence might be nearing a break
down point.
The Allies described the posi
tion of the Communists as “adam~
ant.”
They held to this position
throughout Friday’s four hour and
12 minute session. For more than
half the meeting—the longest of
the 20 sessions yet held — North
Korean Lt. General Nam 11, chief
Red delegate, refused to say a
word,
| For ten consecutive sessions
'delegates have been stuck on the
‘question of where to create a buf
fer zone. 7
Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy,
‘head of the United Nations com=
‘mand delegation, tried to break
‘the deadlock by proposing that
‘negotiators temporarily pass over
this question and go on to the
next point.
" That deals with “concrete ar
rangements for the realization of
military armristice and the result
ant cease-fire.” |
Nam Il refused. |
Session Tomorrow
Despite the complicated dead
lock, delegates scheduled another
session for 11 a. m. Saturday (8
p. m., Friday, EST).
The ten envoys—five Commun
ist generals and five high rankhelg
United Nations officers—appear
almost jovial when they entered
the conference room for the first
time since last Saturday.
Negotiators resumed right
where they left off when the U.
N. command cancelled meetings in
protest against a Red violation of
the Kaesong neutrality zone.
The Communisfs apparently
were adamant in their insisténce
for a buffer zone created along
the 38th parallel, old political
boundary line between North and
South Korea. The U. N. command
says it wantg the zone based on
present battle lines, The front
lies mostly north of the parallel,
extending 35 miles neorth on. the
east coast. e
The U. N. party flying to fh.j
20th n:ssion in helicopters Friday
saw no sign of armed Red troops.
Their presence last Saturday
caused the longest break in dis
cgssiom gince the meetings start

House Approval
0f Big Milifary
Bill Is Expected
By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
WASHINGTON Aug,. 10—(AP)
The House was expected to ap
prove today a $5,768,000,000 con
struction bill aimed at bolstering
U. S. defenses here and abroad
against any Communist aggres=
sion.
The House Foreign Affairs Com=-
mittee last night okayed a $7,848,~
750,000 Foreign Aid Bill to hel
friendly nations strengthen theg
military and economic muscles.
The House may vote on this next
week.
Both measures together would
add another $13,616,750,000 to the
record peacetime $56,062,4405,890
military budget passed yesterday
by the House, 348 votes to two.
Both pending measures will re
quire Senate approval and sepa
rate legislation later actually pu’c-I
ting up the money.
The $56,062,405,890 bill to fin—i
ance the armed forces for fiscal
1952 was strictly cash, Its prompt
approval by the Senate was ex
pected just as soon as routine com=
mittee consideration is completed.
It represents a cash charge of
$364, or almost one dollar a day,
for every man, woman and child
in the United States during the
fiscal year ending next June 30.
Backers of the $5,768,000,000
military construction bill, up for
House consideration today, hope
for speedy final enactment in time
to add the necessary money to the
main military appropriation pill.
The military construction bill
includes authorization to build a
chain of overseas bases girdling
Russia. l
The lion’s share of the construe=
tion program is for the Air Force,
which would receive authority to
go ahead with $1,993,603,000 in
domestic construction, $415,420,-
000 outside the United States, and
$1,071,638,000 for classified facili
ties,
. The bill would give for the cur
rent fiscal year—which began Ju
ly 1: $20,125,574,665 to the Army,
$15,552,142,225 to the Navy, $19,-

cil $1,600,000 to the National Se
curity Resources Board, and $528,«
800,000 to the Office of Secretary
of Defense. Out of the latter must
come $345,000,000 for retirement
pay. f

totalitarian eourt.

Morris Kleinman and Louis Roth
kopf of Cleveland, Ohio, for con=
tempt of Congress.

a “vaudeville show,” an “extravae
ganza” and a “spectcle.”

to wait until today because the

Rothkopf used the television, radig
and newsreel apparatus as “an exs

worst racketeers in the coumfry,
he said, “They just didn't want to
testify, period.”
