Fear Of Russian
ight Ridicul
Might Ridiculous
"
Says Lisenhower
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13—(AP)
Senators generally were consid
+.ably perked up today by Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s reported
assertion that it is “ridiculous” to
ve overly frightened by Russia’s
military strength.
But Senator Hunt (D.-Wyo.), a
member of the Armed Services
Committee, told a reporter he
hopes the North Atlantic defense
commander’s estimate of compara
ble Free World and Iron Curtain
strength doesn’t “lull Congress to
sleep.” ;
“L.can agree with the General
that the Free World has a great
perponderance of material, intel
lectual, spiritual, technical and
profess=onal resources,” Hunt said,
“but I hope that doesn’t lull us
into a peaceful sleep we were en
joying before the Korean war
started.”
Eisenhower’s views were in a
subcommittee report prepared for
the Senate Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committees.
These groups are meeting jointly
to consider the administration’s
$8,500,000,000 Foreign Air Bill.
The subcommittee, including
nine members who visited Europe
in July, reported that Eisenhower
had told them:
The material, intellectual, spiri
tual, technical and professional
resources available 16 ‘the “Free
World are so overwhelming as
compared with what the Tron Cur
tain and satellite countries have
that it is almost ridiculous for us
to be talking in terms of fright
and hysteria, which we often do.”
The report said Eisenhower ac
knowledged the Soviet bloc has a
unity lacked by the North Atlantic
Treaty nations but said it was
brought about “by a gun and a
sword held forever behind a man’s
back ready to chop off his head.”
To gain real unity, the senators
said, Eisenhower told them the job
is to convince every nation and
man participating in Western
Europe’s defenses that “we are
approaching this thing from the
standpoint of enlightened self-in
terest.” -
There will be unity when every
man “believes what he is doing is
good for him,” Eisenhower was
quoted as telling the committee
during conferences at his Paris
headquarters.
Senator H, Alexander Smith
(R.-N.J.),” one of the touring
group, said he agrees with Eisen
hower’s views on potential West
ern strength and believes the Gen
eral’s encouraging words will be
reflected in a determination by
the committees not to reduce ma
terially the $6,300,000,000 in for
eign military aid that would be
authorized by the bill.

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Associated Press Service
| French authorities had ordered
a sanity test for the wife, but there
]was no indication yet whether a
psychiatrist had examined the
] black-haired woman.
Mrs. Chevallier, a handsome
woman in her late thirties, called
police to her home and was quoted
by them an announcing: “I have
just killed my husband.” Investi
gators said she told him she and
Chevallier had quarrelled, as they
often had before, about his fre
quent absences from home on
political business. She said that
when he told her he wanted a
divorce, she shot him five times.
Plevin Shocked
Premier Pleven was reported
deeply shocked by the news of
the death of Chevallier, World
War II hero, Mayor of Orleans and
a Deputy in the National Assem
bly—a man with a promising poli
tical future.
The body was taken to a private
hospital for autopsy and later was
to lie in state in the Orleans muni
cipal offices. The funeral will be
Thursday.
Mrs. Chevallier, mother of two
boys, aged eight and four, was
taken to an Orleans prison . cell
after the formal charge was filed.
Police said she told them she had
bought the pistol a few days ago
and used it at the height of the
furious argument over her hus
band’s mention of divorce.
She then called police headquar
ters and asked the officer in
charge to come to the cou%a’s mo
dest apartment. When Commils~
saire Antoine Gazano went there,
he said she let him in with the
tearful announcement “I have just
shot my husband.”
Chevallier, who served as Mayor
of war-devastated Orleans, was a
physician in private life. Yvonne,
who, friends said, was in her late
thirties, was a former midwife.
Reporters and photographers
were barred during police ques
tioning of Mrs, Chavallier. During
the afternoon Interior Minister
Charles Brune arrived at the scene
and a short while later Yvonne
was hurried off to Orleans prison.
Examination Sef
The examining magistrate nam
ed to investigate the case will ap
point a psychiatrist to examine
Mrs. Chevallier. .
Associates said the couple had
been on the outs for some time
and that she rarely accompanied
him on his frequent trips to Paris
made necessary because he was a
Deputy in the National Assembly
(lower House of Parliament).
They said that a few days ago
Mrs. Chevallier bought a small re
volver and asked permission to
carry it on the grounds her hus
band had dangerous enemies.
The Chevalliers were married
while he was an interne at the Or
leans hospital. They have two
sons, eight and four.
BERLIN RED RALLY
Communist Youth Stage All - Day
Parade In Honor Of Joe Stalin
BERLIN, Aug. 13—(AP)—Ger
man Communist youth bosses pub
licly hailed Generalissimo Stalin
today as their “Fuehrer.” They
did this in a message to the Soviet
leader following up yesterday’s
sereaming parade of Communist
youth, a demonstration which far
outdid anything the Nazis ever
whipped up for Hitler.
But the West used the Commun
ist World Youth Festival to get in
some propaganda blows of its own.
Hundreds of thousands of young
sters who slipped by the Red
guards on the sector border saw
things in “imperialist” West Ber
lin they never dreamed existed
there, -
The leaders of the Communist
“Free German Youth Movement”
(FDJ) used the word “Fuehrer”
(leader)—once applied exclusively
to Hitler—when they sent the So
viet prime minister a pledge prom
ising undying loyalty to him and
unfailing opposition to “Western
imperialists.” Time after time the
message, purportedly signed by
4,145,839 young Germans, ad
dressed the Soviet leader as “Dear
Joseph Stalin.” It corcluded with
the words: “Long live our wise
teacher and fuehrer, our best
friend, the great Stalin.”

More than a million hoarse and
footsore Communist youths

Against such competition, the
Communist World Youth Festival,
continuing for another week in
East Berlin, looked even drabber.
Communist managers were. keep

concerts to circuses, but many Red
youngsters preferred to gaze into
the -well stocked shop windows
and taste the forbidden delicious
ness of free meals being dealt out
in West Berlin.
West Berlin officials estimated
that during the first week of the
festival some 500,000 Communist
youths visited the West, despite
the vigilance of Red police guards.
Of these, 250,000 were served free
hot meals to pad out the slim diet
they got at their East Berlin fes
tival kitchens. Official reports
said 1,590 youths asked about po

about 350 were accepted. Western

ATHENS, GA., MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1951.
Heaviest attacks Sunday were
directed against rail centers by
B-29s and jets.
Patrol Actions
U. S. Eighth Army Headquar
ters today reported only small pa
trol actions along the muddy front.
But high Allied officers agreed
that the Reds have biult up their
forces to the point where they can
launch another major offensive if
Kaesong Armistice talks fail.
One of the few ground actions
was reported South of Kaesong. U.
N. Tioops engaged Communists
there yesterday for the fifth suc
cessive day. e
- ~Two Boitish Commc)nwehm‘g‘é
trol frigates moved up the Han
estuary to shell Red positions in
this area. The ships—New Zea
land’s Hawea and Australia’s Mur
ghison—-did not report results.
" Allied warplanes in 755 sorties
struck some blows in support of
ground troop Sunday. But most
of their action was directed against
traffic to the front.
Air Activity
Marine night fighters and night
flying B-29 bombers reported
they spotted only about 360 Red
vehicles on the -highway. As many
as 2,000 have been noted in re
cent days. About a third of those

The U. S. heavy crusier Toledo

front, continuing, for the 178th
consecutive day, the attack on Red

Dutch destroyer Van Galen, and
the U. S. destroyers Uhlmann and
Hopewell supported the bombard

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, Aug.

formal note to Yugoslavia today
that Marshall Tito’s border forces
fired 105-millimeter artillery
shells deep into Hungarian ter
ritory.
Communists such a jolt that East
Berlin would not be chosen for
such a role again. It was too easy
for the kids to get a look at the
other side of the curtain. .
Communist youths leaving their
big parade heard instructions from
East Germany Communist boss
Walter Ulbricht to sabotage West
ern defenses by “all manner of
strikes” in West Germany. He
teld them there would be ultimate
ruin for West Germany if it re
armed. ’
There were at least a million
boys and girls in the parade and
the Reds claimed 500,000 more
cheered from the sidelines. West
ern authorities though this latter
figure exaggerated.
Once past the reviewing stand,
where East Germany s Communist
President Wilhelm Picck, Premier
Otte Grotewohl, Uibricht and
their Russian guests took the
“friendship salute,” observers no
ted that the kids’ enthusiasm col
lapsed.
Breaking ranks, they literally
dropped out of line and fell as
leep on the ground. Some of the
marchers were only six years old.
Their wearisome was under
standable since thousands were
brought in over night — without
sleep—to swell the ranks of the
marchers. Even those who had
been in Berlin for other “peace”
activities were routed out of their
tents and attics before dawn to
line up for the parade. Few of
them had anything to eat.
Reds Say UN Must Change
Demands For Buffer lone
Reds Refuse
To Sidestep
Buffer Issue
BY G. A. McARTHUR
MUNSAN, Korea, Aug. 13.
— (AP) —The chief Com
munist armistice negotiator
said tonight Korean truce
talks “will not make any
progress” unless the United
Nations changes its demands
on where to create a buffer
zone.
The statement from North
Korean Lt. General Nam Il
was broadcast by the Red
Pyongyang radio ten hours
after he had again refused
to change his own demands.
The Red position is so firmilv
fixed that in Monday’s negotiatio:i.
session Nam Il rejected a United
Natlon statement as “not satis
factory” as soon as it was deliver~
ed.
And a U. N, communique said
Nam 11 made the rejection while
“speaking from a previously pre
pared and translated paper.”
In the Pyongyang broadcast
Nam 11 called on the U, N. dele
gation “to change its attitude””
and “to take into consideration
our demands” for a buffer zone
along the 38th parallel.
He said if the Kaesong truce ne
gotiations are to “make any pro
gress at all” U, N, delegates must
“change their distorted demands
they have made up to now.”
UN Position Clear
U. N. spokesmen have made it
clear that the Allies will not con~
sider a demarcation line on the
38th parallel. They say the Reds
must change their stand if negotia
tions are to progress.
No progress was made in to
day’s one hour and 20 minutes ses
:gl&e—the 12th devoted to the same
question, . 3
Comunist delegates again reject
ed every United Nations attempt to
break the deadlock.
Opposing representatives could
not even agree on where their ar
mies are.
Their next session, scheduled for
11 a. m. Tuesday (Bp. m. Monday
EST) will find them right back
where they started.
A U. N. spokesman said the Red
Generals refused again Monday to
side step the deadlock and talk
about something else. They ignored
a U. N. invitation to express their
views on a demolitarized zone
based on the présent battle line.
And they again insisted on a buf
fer zone along the 38th parallel.
The difference in view of pre
sent battle positions became ap
parent when vice Adm. C. Turner
Joy, Chief U, N. delegate, intro
ducerd a map comparing the Al
lied and Red concept of the fight
ing front.
Nuckles Statement
Brig. Gen. Willlam P. Nuckols,
U. N. briefing officer, said they
were in general agreemfent but
there were some differences—
“particularly in the center and on
the flanks.” Joy noted they were
practically the same on parts of
the line.
North Korean Lt, Gen. Nam 11,
head of the Red delegation, had in
troduced a map the preceding day
showing the Red concept of the
front. his map compared this with
(1) the Allied view on a demili
tarized zone based on the present
battle line and (2) the 28th pa
rallel as a demilitarized zone.
Nuckols said the Reds on Mon
day were “no less firm than in the
past” in insisting the fighting be
halted right where it started—on
the old political boundary between
North and South Korea.
Nam 11 insisted it was a just and
reasonable line. “This,” conmented
Nuckols, “is a statement rather
than an argument.”
Red Arguments
Communist arguments became
slightly less temperate, Nuckols
said. General Nam’s remarks were
sprinkled with such words as “ar
rogant, absurd and contradictory.”
Joy opened the Monday session

Read Daily by 35,000 People In Athens Trade Area
By EDWIN B. HAAKINSON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13—(AP)
—The Congressional Economic
Committee has been warned by its
staff experts to expect rising
prices, more inflation and three
years of federal deficits.
- 'The staff report was made pub
lic today by Senator O’Mahoney
(D-Wyo), chairman of the Senate
‘House group. He called the com
mittee into closed-door session
“to over the situation as it now
exists and see the things that must
be done by Congress.”
| Reports Theme
Main theme of the report ap
peared to be arguments in support
of:
1. A considerable higher increase
in Federal Taxes than the $7,200,~
000,000 (b) a year boost voted by
the House. Senators have been
talking of holding the increase to
five or six billions.
2. Stiffer Government controls
over prices, wakes and credit with
emphsais upon savings by individ
uals.
O‘Mahoney, in advance of the
committee discussion, told report
ers:
“My personal opinion is that the
American economy can meet the
problems providing the problem iz
clearly understood by the Congress
and thksountry” - .
He noted that the Senate-House
committee had unanimously ap
proved “pay-as-we-go basis” for
meeting the long-range multi
billion dollar defense and foreign
aid program.
This was done, the Senator said,
“to avold piling another deficit
on top of the National debts now
remining from world wars one and
remaining from World Wars One
and Two.”
O‘Mahoney noted that for the
fiscal year which ended last June
30, the government showed a sur
plus of $3,500,000,000 (h) despite
defense outlays of about $20,000,-
000,000 (b).
But he said there would hvea
been no book surplus if all defense
goods orders had been delivered
on time and paid for.
Surplus Disappearing
He said the surplus actually had
been disappearing since last April.
Both O‘Mahoney and his staff
experts stressed the fact that a
cease-fire agreement or even
peace in Korea would not bring
relief from the multi-billion dol
lar defense program for the next
five to ten years.
Both also agreed that a recent
leveling off in prices—after sharp
increases since June 1850—pro
bably would end later this fall and
winter. by
“The problem of congress is to
determine how this danger may be
counteracted,” O‘Mahoney said.
The staff report said “prices will
rise” as more of the national pro
duction is diverted late this year
into defense goods.
It suggested a $10,000,000,000
(b) tax increase immediately and
said the “additional revenue, for
miximun anti-inflationary effect,
should be devried largely from
groups in the 8,000-SIO,OO income
brackets”. ‘
BAR MEETING
Members of the Athens Bar As
sociation are requested to meet in

New Tax Bill
Is Predicfed
| BY JOE HALL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15~(AP)
—The Senate Finance Committee
today begins closed door consider~
ation of the new tax bill. Several
members of the group predict it
'will trim down the $7,200,000,000
tax boost approved by the House.
The bill is on the ‘must” list
compiled by the Democratie lead
ership for action before Congress
quits this year.
Chairman George (D.-Ga.) of
the committee told newsmen he
expects the 18 senators to finish
writing their version within two
weeks—Dby August 24 or 25.
Another Week
It will take another week for
the committee staff and Treasury
to write a report on the measure,
he said. George predicted the bili
will reach the Senate floor sabrt
ly after Labor Day.
There appeared to be little or
no sentiment for increasing the
tax hike to the $10,000,000,000
asked by President Truman., Esti
mates by conmnittee members on
the amount their group would ap
prove ranged from $5,000,000,000
up to the amount set by the
House.
One Republican member, who
asked not to be identified by
name, fold newsmen he was sure
the group would throw out the
House’s method of raising individ
