lscuie At Georgia
ATLANTA, Oct. 20—(AP)—A
ehecial committee of regents side
ctcnped the issue of bigtime foot
bo!l at Georgia and Georgia Techl
tocay, leaving the matter exactly‘
«here it alwavs has been—in the
hands of school officials. - |
The committee, created to study
{l.o prohlem of possible de-empha
<« of football at the state’s twol
meior schools, declined to take
_]x‘:'o,‘f(“i(_'fion. |
After a 80-minute conference'
hehind closed doors with the pres
idents and athletic renresentatives‘
of Georgia and Tech, the group
jcved a brief statement saying:
IManagement and control of
intercolleciate athletics is up to
otficials of the schools. |
Confidence
2 _The commitiee has confi
acnce in those officials. : |
7 _The committee has found no
incications of any irregularities of
ar cort.
4-_The Board of Regents is
ooy to assist school authorities
i 1 handling any problems, includ
in~ athletics.
c-ent Sandy Beaver of Gaines
ville, who launched the talk of
(e-cmphasis six weeks ago, was
o member of the special commit
tee but did not attend today’s ses
<ion. He said other business kept
h'm at home. Advised of the com
mittee’s action, however, he said:
“I think it is a good report.”
Beaver made a one-man inves
tication of football at the two
schools earlier and reported Presi
c¢ent Blake Van Leer of Tech and
Precident O. C. Aderhold both
f-vored reducing the number of
grants-in-aid to players, elimina
tion of post-season games and
+bandoning the two-platoon sys
t~m.—lf other Southeastern Con
ference schools would do likewise.
Beaver said today'if the presi
cents will continue to press for
those changes, he will feel his ef
tforts have been successful.
Beaver Sentiments
When Beaver first suggested de
emphasis moves, he commented
that intercollegiate athletics, es
pecially football, threatened to get
out of hand. Some other regents
=lco sald rtlhe;'e a;:‘péared to be an
over-emphasis of football, ... .
But ttpthe Regents’ meétfig fwo
weeks ago, there was a marked
coolness toward talk of de-em
phasis. Beaver was criticized for
his independent investigation and
2 special committee was appointed
to look into the matter and de
cide what, if anything, the regents
should do.
Today's report was, in effect,
that the regents should do noth
ing. The full board is expected to
adopt the committee report in rou
tine fashion.

Vatican Envoy
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20—(AP).
President Truman appointed Gen.
Mark Clark to be a full-fledged
#mbassador to the Pope today,
and stirred up immediate protests
from his own Baptist and other
Protestant churches.
Mr. Truman said he acted in
the interests of ‘“diplomacy and
humanitarianism” and to coordi
nate the struggle against Com
munism, His clerical critics de
'ounced the appointment as vio-
I=ting the concept that chureh and
sinte should be kept separate.
Dr. J. M. Dawson, executive
cccretary of the Baptist © Public
Altairs Committee, called it “per-
Faps a frantie bid for holding ma
chine-ridden big cities in the ap-
I caching hot presidential race.”
Fe said it was “disruptive of na
ticnal unity.”
Pope Pius issued no statement
but the Vatican was reported un-
O ficially to be delighted at the
apnointment, !
I'rancis Cardinal Spellman, a
leading spokesman for the Roman
Catholic chureh in the United
Stotes, said in New York that he
< very pleased, He said that the
Vatican and the U. S. held “iden
il objectives of peace” and it
as logical to have a practical ex
{ “e on how to achieve it.

Bids for the certificates will be
received November 8, 1951, and
will be awarded to the lowest bid
der for interest rate. A ‘“‘good
faith” payment of $4,000 will be
required of each bidder and that
amount will be held by the ecity
in the event the bidder does not
fulfill his responsibilities. The
right to reject any and all bids
‘'was held by the Council, as well
as the right to recall all of the cer
tificates after 1957,
Proposed amendments to the
City Charter, under the new Home
Rule act, were read by City At
torney James Barrow. The amend
ments were approved and will be
submitted to the voters in the City
General Election to be held the
first Wednesday in December.
One amendment provides for
the use of absentee ballots, by
which a citizen planning to be out
of town on election day, would be
able to cast a ballot.
Voting Hours
| Another amendment would re
quire that the polls remain open
lin all general and primary elec
|tions from 7 a. m. until 6 p. m.
~ Still other amendments were
concerned with the term of office
for the City Recorder and the
City Attorney. One of these pro=
vided for the election of the City
‘Attorney by the Council and the
other would provide for the term
of the City Recorder to run
through December 31, 1953, at
‘which time an election would be
‘held to fill the office, the tenure
of office to be four years.
Also offered as an amendment
to be voted upon by the people
was the cifice of Tax Assessor.
The Tax Assessor would look
after the interests of the city and
'the Assessor would be given the
!afithority to re-evaluate the re
\turns made by citizens in the
event he deemed them unfair. Also
fto be set up would be a Board of
Tax Appeals, this group to see
that citizens received just treat
ment in their tax matters. This
Board would have powers of sub
poena equal to that of the City
Recorder.
Citizens would have the right to
appeal any change made in their
returns by the Tax Assessor
within fifteen days after the
change had been made. The Board
!of Tax Appeals would then meet
with the citizen, who could plead
his own case or be represented by
legal counsel. Judgment would be
made a week after the appeal was
| heard and the citizen would have
the right to apepal a decision he
considered unfavorable to Clarke
Superior Court.
l Board members would be under
| oath to faithfully discharge their
| duties and no relative of a city
fofficer would be allowed to serve
on the board. The Council and
,Mayor would have the power to
| remove a board member by a two
| thirds vote of Council.
| The amendment also provides

SERVING ATHES AND NORTHEAST CEORGCIA OVER A CENTURY.
ATHENS, GA., SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1951.
UN, Red Liaison
Teams Sef Meet:
Settlement Seen
By NATE POLOWETZKY
MUNSAN, KOREA, SUNDAY,
Oct 21 — (AP) — Allied and Com
munist liaison officers scheduled
another meeting at Pamunjom
today amid indications thdt agree
ment on a resumption of Korean
cease-fire talks might be only
hours away.
The two sides agreed Saturday
on a security corridor straddling
the road to Panmunjom, leaving
only one preliminary point at
issue—whether Allied planes can
fly over the neutral zone.
Col Andrew J. Kenney, the
senior Allied liaison officer, said
he expected “the thing will get
settled. . . One way or another” at
the Sunday meeting.
Saturday Session
At the Saturday session, the
Communists accepted a U. N.
compromise proposal to establish
a 400-meter wide (437-yard)
safety zone along the road linking
Panmunjom with Red truce head
quarters at Kaesong and the Allied
camp at Munsan. This means traf
fic on the road will be guaranteed
free from attack. »
Agreement was reached earlier
on the establishment of security
zones of three-mile radius around
Kaesong and Munsan, with a 1,000
-yard zone around the circus tent
in Panmunjom where the talks
would be resumed.
The remaining question was:
Do the Allies have the right to fly
over the security zones?
The Reds have insisted on posi
tive guarantees that there will be
no flights over Kaesong or the
Kaesong - Panmunjom road. The
U. N. feels that such guarantees
would leave the way open for Red
claims of violations.
The U. N. command said in a
communique Saturday that it “of
fered unilaterally to limit flights
over Kaesong and road to Pan
munjom so far as practicable.”
Kinney Statement
Kinney said searchlight beacons
will be erected and balloons raised
within the safety zone around
Panmunjom to keep Allied pilots
away.
U. S. Eighth Army officers in
Seoul expressed the belief that the
Communists are willing to com-~
promise at Panmunjom beeause
they are incapable of mounting
another major offensive in Korea.
These officers told AP corres
pondent Robert Eunson that the
Reds appear to be badly hurt and
unable to fight again on a broad
front. They said U. N. artilllery
fire had taken a heavy toll and
that the Air Force was isolating
Red troops on the battlefield.
More Shoofings

CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 20—(AP)—
Two more shootings shattered the
uneasy calm of the canal garrison
area today and Britain rushed
new reinforcements, including an
ti-aircraft units, to ward off any
surprise bombing raids and pro
tect her Suez lifeline,
At the same time a strong po
lice detachment unceremoniously
deported from the Sudan an
Egyptian education official who
had ignored a British order to stay
out of the country.

Egyptian informants that the
brotherhood was threatening to

American Tanks Blast
Kumsong In Quick Raid
BY ROBERT EUNSON
SEOUL, Sunday, Oct. 21.— (AP)—U. 8. tanks in a light
ning raid Friday shot up rubbled Kumsong, whose strong
hill defenses were crumbling under relentless Allied infan
try assault.
Two tank columns returned unscathed to the main Allied
lines two miles south of the battered enemy base on the
central front despite a hail of artillery and antitank fire
from the Red defenders.
President Signs
Tax Boost Bill
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20—(AP)
President Truman signed the $5,-
691,000,000 tax increase bill today,
but said it is not enough and he
will urge Congress in January to
improve the tax laws. 5
He had asked $10,000,060,000.
The President issued a statement,
objecting to some features of the
bill, but saying he signed it “be
cause we badly need these reve
nues to help pay for the strong
defenses we are building.”
He did not say flatly that he
would ask for additional taxes at
the next session, but there ap
peared little doubt that he would
do so.
He limited his statement to say
ing he would urge Congress ‘“to
give major attention to legiglation
improving our tax laws.”
The measure on which Congress
completed actlon yesterday pro
vides for individual income tax
boosts ranging between 11 and 12
per cent for most taxpayers, ef
fective Nov. 1; excise (sales) tax
increases on a long list of items
including ligquor, gasoline and
household appliances; bigger in
come and excess profits taxes for
some industries and various other
changes.
The President said that certain
features of the legislation are “un
fortunate from the standpoint of a
sound, fair tax system.”

Infantry threw the Communists
off two more hills south of the
smoking city, 30 miles north of
parallel 38.
But the back of the Red defenses
before the city was not yet brok
en, The Reds fought hard from
three other hills.
The Allies patrolled in the west.
On the rugged eastern front, tank
patrols probed the enemy defenses
and infantrymen brushed off a
Red counterattack 30 miles deep
in North Koresz.
Belief grew at Eighth Army
headquarters that the series of
grinding Allied offensives had
robbed the Communists of the
power to mount anosther major
drive anywhere in Korea.
Reds Badly Hurt .
Eighth Army officers believe
the Communists are psdly hurt;
that ceaseless air strikes at their
supply lines are isolating the Red
troops in the line, and that the
North Koreans and Chinese really
want a truce.
| That, they said, is the reason
why the Reds have heen willing
to compromise and why full-dress
cease-fire negotiations may begin
| soon.
The weather turned bad along
the front. Fog and rain limited
aerial strikes to passes at enemy
supplies and communications back
of the front.
A pooled dispatch said two com
panies of Patton tanks which en
tered Kumsong shot up targets for
more than an hour before with
drawing.
A biting wind whistled across
the battlefield.
Fog shrouded the peaks which
Allied troops were assaulting
within two miles of the city. This
was the last major lidgeline be

were captured jgave the soldiers

hold two regional victories against
one loss and one tie. The Trojans
are undefeated in play against

cial tent wasg 60 feet by 180 feet.
This year, according to members
of the Fair Association, the tent is
65 feet by 200 feet. The exhibits
that have already been planned
and begun are many and varied in
nature. .
Fair-goers of last year will re
member a great number of the ex
hibits that were Jopulur with
the publie. Most of those which
were so very successful last year
will be at the fair again this year,
The Veterans Division of thé Vo
cational Training School will again
have their exhibition of finely
finished woodwork. A complete
bedroom suite is to be the eentral
piece which will be arranged in
the semblance of a home BHed
room.
The colored division of the fair
is larger this year than it has ever
been in the past, too. According to
F.H. Willilmlf fah' Commissioner,
the number of exhibits that were
desired by far outnumbered those
of last year. The exhibits which
will be shown at the fair this year
include those from schools and
communities from all of this area
of northeast Georgia. Four propos
ed exhibits had to be turned down
in spite of the increased space
which hasg been provided.
For the very hub of activities,
however, the structure housing the
women’s exhibits and the ecommu
nity exhibits is the place to go.
Saturday afternoon saw scores of
women and girls swarmdng around
the building, which is located to
the right of the main gate. Many
were hammering, nailing and
painting. Interspered in the fem
inine crowd were some husbands
and song who aided in preparing
the exhibits.
One can not fail to be impress
ed by the industry of the people
who prepare the Community ex
hibits at the fair. Many were ob
viously the product of hours of
work. One exhibit portrayed a
charming old fashioned living
doom — complete with fireplace,
spinning wheel, and kerosene
lanvps, ’
The Athens Fair Association has
offered a total of $715 in prizes for
the Community exhibits. First
