Wilson Sees New
Control Problems
Drive To Strike Out 3 Provisions
Of Defense Production Act Begins
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.— (AP) —Mobilizer Charles
F. Wilson, backing up President Truman’s demand for a
stiffer price control law, told Congress today that “new
and serious problems” of shortages and inflation lie ahead.

Cenafe Problem
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30—(AP)
gcnators showed more concern te
cav over who should direct for
¢ on aid spending than over how
much should be spent.
Senator H. Alexander Smith
(1.-N.J.) said he would propose
<ome form “of single administra
tor” to control the purse strings
on the $7,535,750,000 in the aid
111 being discussed by the Sen
nator MeMahon (D.-Conn.)
T icted such a move “will be
ated.”” He was supported by
ators Connally (D.-Tex.) and
& kman (D.-Ala.).
he House voted for a single
\inistrator when it approved
7,000,000 less than the Senate
re. This was viewed general
-1 as a slap at Secretary of State
neson,
Taft Support
Chairman Taft (R.-Ohio) of the
tcnate GOP Policy Committee
| today he would support the
“mith move, even though it was
re'ected by the Senate Foreign
Relations and Armed Services
(ommittees when they sent the
bill to the Senate.
The Senate committees agreed
to give the Secretary of Defense
primary authority over military
aid, which accounts for $6,013,-
00,000 of the funds.
The Economic Cooperation Ad
ministration, due to expire next
June 30, would retain control of
most of the $1,522,750,000 of eco
nomic aid. And the State De
partment would receive continu
ing authority over the so-called
“point four” program of techni
cal assistance to undeveloped
arcas of the world.
“inally, the two Senate com
miitees proposed setting up in the
office of the president an overall
coordinator-—a single official or a
board—to decide any disputes be
tween the various foreign aid
agencies,
Sparkman told a reporter today
that he thought the method of
directing foreign spending was
“handled about as well as it
could be in the committees.”
“We gave the Defense and State
Departments and the ECA their
primary responsibilities,” Spark
man sald. “And the President can
name a single coordinator or su
pervisor if he wishes.”

OATIS CASE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—(AP)
—President Truman said today
the Oatis case will never be
closed until the Associated Press
correspondent gets out of jail in
Czechoslovakia,
The President made this com
ment at a news conference when
told that the new Czech Ambas
sador, Vladamir Prochazka, had
described the ease of William
Oatis as “a closed incident” from
“the juridical point of view.”
Mr. Trunran said he didn’t think
the Oatis case would ever be
closed-—at least in this country—
until Oatis gets out of jail.
The Ambassador’s remarks also
got sharp reaction im Congress.
Senator Jenner (R.-Ind.) said
Prochazka was ‘“defying” the
United States. He demanded that

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Associated Press Service
‘Wilson was the lead-off witness
before the Senate Banking Com
mittee in the administration’s drive
to strike out three provisions of
the new defense production act
which Mr. Truman has bitterly de
nounced. These make possible
prices boosts for manufacturers
and dealers respectively and ban
livestock slaughter quotas,
“Any formula which results in
| prices higher than the ‘fair and
| equitable’ prices required by the
| original (defense production) act
is necessarily inflationary,” Wil
son told the committee. He added:
Pressure Mounts
Inflationary pressure will con
tinue to mount, Wilson predicted,
as more of the national production
is channeled into defense. By the
end of this year 15 per cent of out
put will go into national security
and by next year 20 per cent, he
estimated. In some items, half of
output will be taken by the mili
tary.
“The success of our production
program is largely dependent up
on effective stabilization,” Wilson
went on.
Before the committee is a bill
sponsored by three Republican
senators in a defiant gesture to the
White House. It would strike out
of the new act what Mr. Truman
has labelled its “three worst pro
visions.”
Some senators have suggested
that the three Republicans—Fer
guson (Mich.), Nixon (Calif.) and
Welker (Idaho) = would be the log=
ical initial witnesses. It was pos
sible one or more of them would
ask to be heard.
As Welker phrased it to a re
porter:
Welker View
“We introduced the bill because
the President is trying to saddle
on Congress the charge that we
wouldn’t give him what he wants,
and that therefore he can’t control
inflation.
“We intend to give him what he
asked for—and then if he doesn’t
halt inflation, it’s his responsibil
ity”
The bill would repeal provisions
which (1) allow a seller to pass
on to the consumer all eost in
creases between the start of the
Korean war and July 26, 1851;
(2) prohibit a price ceiling on any
item which doesn’t allow whole=
salers and retailers the same per=-
centage of profit they earned be
fore Korea; and (3) prohibit fed
erally imposed livestock slaughter
ing quotas,
All three provisions were written
into the law which Congress pass=
ed last month and which took ef
fect Aug. 1.

Blind é:eople get seeing-eye dogs
to guide them about but a blind
dog here has recruited a seeing
eye cat.
Penny, an eight year-old Eski
mo Spitz owned by Mr, and Mrs.
J. B. Cothran, has been blind sev~

maid took care of him.
The mald died a few months

months-old black Persian kitty be

Inky leads Penny about the
premises, shows him to his food,
and occasionally takes him on
jaunts through the woods near the
house,
It was after several of these
strolls that the Cothrans first
realized what Inky was doing.
They reasoned that Penny never
could have made it through the
woods and back by scent alone.
Oceasionally, the two animals
argue over their food but it usually
is short-lived. Inky is inelined to

Governor White
Of Mississippi
Sefs State Tour
JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 30 —
(AP)—Hugh White, named gov
ernor of Mississippi and Carroll
Gartin, incoming Lieutenant Gov
ernor, plan to tour the state this
fall to discuss possible legislation
with the lawmakers.
Their nomination in the second
Democratic pramary Tuesday is
equivalent to election in one-par
ty Mississippi. They assume of=
fice Jan. 12.
‘White, 70-year-old former gov
ernor of the state, defeated 35-
year-old PaulMl; Johnson, jr., a
Hattiesb: Miss,, attorney,
whbfe"%fi*% ‘governor “from
1940 umtil his death in 1943.
It wag Johnson’s father whom
White defeated for his first term
as governor in 1935.
The incumbent, Gov. Fielding
Wright, was not a candidate, un
dey legal provisions that no Gov=
ernor can be elected to two suc
cessive terms. Wright supported
White’s candidacy.
Gartin- defeated his opponent,
Jimmy Arrington, former mayor
of Collins, Miss., by a vote of
more than two to one. The voie
from 1,724 of the state’s 1,782
precincts gave Gartin 236,311 to
130,393 for Arrington. Gartin’s
‘home is Laurel.
~ In the Governor’s race, White’s
‘margin over Johnson was much
}narrower. With the unofficial
count complete from all but one of
'the state’s voting precincts, White
had 199,506 and Johnson 191,090,
The 8,416 difference was the nar
rowest victory margin in a Miss
issippi Governor’'s race since 1907
when Gov. Earl Brewer defeated
Edmond F. Noel by 2,002 votes.
White, a personal dry, said he
would not oppose a state referen
dum on the question of prohibi
tion. Mississippi is hgafiy dry.
Johnson flatly opposed repeal.

Copper Walkout
Termed Threat
To Mobilization
WASHINGTON, Aug 30 —(AP)
—President Truman today declin
ed to indicate what plans the
government may have for dealing
with the nation-wide copper strike.
When reporters tried to draw
him out on it at his news con
ference, Mr. Truman said he had
not yet received a 'report from
the wage stabilization board.
He said he couldn’t comment
until he knows what's in the
board’s revort.
Some government action soon
was generally anticipated since
the office of defense mobilization
has said the strike is a serious
threat to the mobilization pro
gram,
WSB Steps Out
The Wage Stabilization Board
(WSB) stepped out of the con
troversy late last night after the
mine, mill and semlter workers
union refused to call off the strike.
The board apparently found
little hope of breakeii the dead
lock which has halteddmost of the
nation’s production of copper, a
critically short defense material.
A spokesman said the board will
report to Mr. Truman early today
on the negotiations he asked it to
take over on Tuesday. It held a
90-minute hearing yesterday, and
discussed the case again last night.
A possible next step would be for
the President to appoint a board
of inquiry to report to him on the
facts in the case, but such a board
would. have no authority to pro
pose aft actual peace settlement.
The strike could continue ‘while
the board investigates.
And Attorney General McGrath
would have to wait until the board
reported before he could seek a
court injunction to end the walk
out under the Taft-Har% act,
Gov't Seizure Possihle
However, if the President should
feel there is little hope of settle
ment and the walkout is creating
a national emergency he could
bypass court action and order
government seizure of the mines
and smelters. e
The strike has already cut off
95 per cent of the country’s cop
per production and dealt heavy
blows to the output of sulphuric
agid — a key ingredient in the
refining of aviation and high test
gasoline— and lead and zine.
Union leaders told the WSB
yesterday the strike will continue
unless (1) a negotated contract
settlement is reached, (2) the gov
enment seizes the struck works,
or (3) a court injunction is issued
against the stoppage.
Body Identified
LANETT, Ala., Aug. 30 — (AP)
~—The nude and partially decom
posed body found in a ravine near
Cusseta, Ga., last week has been
identified as that of Mrs. Marie
ii)ach, 39, or Chambers County,
a.
Sheriff J. M. Abney said Tom H.
Roach, 41, the husband, is being
held for questioning. No charges
have been filed.
W. L. Sowell, Alabama assistant
toxicilogist, said a sex motive was
indicated in the slaying. He would
not elabrate.
Identification of the body was
made by a West Point Dentist, Dr.
G. W. Sapp through dental work.
The original theory that the
woman was killed during an
abortion ~ was ° shattered when
members of the famlily told of
ficers Mrs. Roach had her repro
ductive organs removed 14 years
ago. Lack of these organs had led
police to believe sne had died as a
result of an abortion.
The body was found Aug. 21 at
the bottom of an 18-foot ravine,
stripped of elothing and jewelry.
At the time of the discovery the
woman apparently had been dead
two or three days.

the opportunity of securing insur
ance protection against accidental
bodily injuries while at school and
while going to and from school.
This insurance, covered by a

who desire the protection the cost
will be one dollar for the school
year. Full information about the
new plan will be given to all pu

loss of life, limbs or sight,
Records show that many school
systems throughout the nation are
making available this kind of pro
tection for school pupils. Despite
safety teaehing and precautions,
agcidents do happen and burden
some bills frequently result. The
Athens Board of Education feels
that it is rendering a serviee to
the eommunity by making avail

10,000 Fresh Red
Troops Reported
Dug In At Front
By GEORGE A. McARTHUR
ÜB. BTH ARMY HEADQUAR
TERS, Korea, Aug. 30— (AP)—
%en thousand fresh Communist
troops today dug into the jagged
hills of eastern Kotea behind their
attacking comrades.
Reds hurled threg small, savage
assaults at United Nations troops
north of Yanggu. All were beaten
back.
To the north, U, N, warplanes
tore up rails and road beds in
their determined effort to cut
Communist supply lines. Pilots
reported they destroyed or dam
aged 62 box cars and cut roadways
in 67 places after night attacks
knocked out 270 trucks.
Fresh Red Unit
A fresh Communist division—
about 8,000 men—was observed
digging in northeast of Yanggu,
which is 27 miles from the eastern
tip of the front.
Another group of Reds, esti
mated at about 2,000 men, was
seen moving south in the area
northwest of Yanggu. Five hun
dred more Reds were seen digging
in this sector.
In their most persistent attack
Thursday ,the Reds fought Allied
troops 13 hours before withdraw
ing.
The two other assaults were by
platoon sized groups, and the Reds
pulled back after three hours.
In the iron triangle of the cen
tral front, artillery, mortars and
hidden groups of Red infantrymen
harrassed an Allied patrol sporadi
cally until it withdrew at dusk.
Only small patrol clashes were re
ported elsewhere on the front.
Wednesday Gains
Wednesday, general headquar
ters said, U. N, troops hacked out
small gains in the east and beat
down Communist counterattacks.
The Navy announced its war
ships, using “sniper like tactics,”
helped “embattled ROK (Repub
lic of Korea) troops fighting to
consolidate their positions” on the
east coast by shelling Red Con
centrations. Guns of two British
frigates cleared Reds out of a west
coast village south of Kaesong,
site of now disrupted truce talks.
Warplanes flew 860 sorties
Wednesday and followed up with
90 raids through the night.

BY DON HUTH
The latest asserted violation was
early Wednesday. The badly grab
led broadcast heard in Tokyo said
an American bomber dropped a
flare over the site of the now sus
pended Korean war truce talks.
The radio said it happened at
almost the same time Ridgway
flatly refused to reopen an investi
gation of Red charges that an
Allied plane bombed Kaesong Aug.
29
Peiping called it an attempt “to
cover up the flagrant lies that
he handed the world.”
The broadcast made no mention
of the U. N. commander’s offer to
resume truce negotiagtions any
time the Communists are willing
to do so. He made the offer in the
same note that refused to reopen
investigation of the asserted bomb
ing.
Top Red commanders, so whom
the message was addressed, had
not replied.
In its sweeping acusation, the
Peiping radio said as many as
43 American planes had flown
over the Kaesong neutual zone in
a single day. The neutral area
extends for a five mile radius
around Kaesong. .
The Communists attitude tended
to support a theory the Reds want
to delay a decision on Korea until
after the Japanses peace {reaty
conference in San Francisco.
Peiping’s broadcasts dampened
a cautious opimism expressed in
a press release from General Ridg
way’s headquarters.
The release suggested the Red
proposal to reinvestigate the Kae
song bombing charge “may con
tain some hope for resumption”
of truce talks. Communists broke
off negotiations Aug. 23, a few
hours after they said a U. N. plane
bombed Kaesong.
The Red broadcast said Ridg
way's latest note on the incident
“again distorted facts” and was
“full of contradictions because he
is lying.”
It particularly assiled his state
ment that a Red alisison officer
refused a request for a daylight
investigation.
The U. N. command said original
evidence did net indicate that
Kaesong was bombed.
The Communist broadcast went
into a lengthy denial of Ridgway’s
statement that the Communists re
fused to permit a daylight investi
gation of thelr evidence.
It documented this with a long
statement attributed to Col. Chang
Chun-Shan, Communist liaison of

India Defends
Treaty Position
NEW DELHI, India, Aug. 30.—
(AP)—ln a hard-hitting note to
the United States, India today de
fended her refusal to atteng the
Japanese peace conference in San
Francisco.
At the same time Prime Minis
ter Jawaharal Nehru pledged his
government not a sign a separate
pact with Japan whose terms
would contradict provisions of the
American-sponsored treaty.
The Indian note was in reply to
one from the U, S. State Depart
ment August 26 expressing dis
pleasure with India’s decision to
boycott the San Francisco confer
ence.
The note asserted that, contrary
to American claims, the people of
Japan did not approve of the
treaty, It insisted that the treaty
