'S Plans Majo
Eifort To Aid
In Oil Crisis
Py JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27—(AP).
The United States is planning a
major effort next week to pro-
I, ~e a settlement in the British-
I anian oil crisis.
pPrime Minister Winston Church-
I's new Conservative government
mav be asked to send a high level
British team here to undertake
formal negotiations with Iranian{
Promier Mohammed Mossadegh,
Kazem Hassibi, Mossadegh’s |
chief technical expert on national- ‘
isntion of the huge anglo-Iranian
oil company’s holdings, including
\e great refinery at Abadan, ar
ived in the United States today
m special summons from the
Jremier.
Hassibi said on his arrival at
New York: “My presence here is
come indication that there might
be a chance for a settlement.”
Meanwhile it was understood
that American officials are pre
nored to tell Britain’s Foreign
Minister Anthony Eden that in
their view the only settlement
nossible is one which provides for
2 complete end of Britain’s organ
i-ed oil operations in Iran and a
final Hquidation of the old anglo-
Iranian oil company’s holdings.
Agreement Formula
With a settlement based on such
unconditional fulfillment of Iran’s
nationalization laws of last spring,
the formula for agreement most
venerally talked about here now
vould provide also:
1. British marketing of Iranian
oil which would be purchased at
1 agreed wholesale rate and sold
| consumer areas—western Eu
e, India and Pakistan mainly—
t prices sufficient to assure
Pritain of a reasonable profit.
2. The compensation for British
properties which have in fact al
ready been seized by Iranians.
3. An arrangement to assure the
success of Iranian production,
robably providing for a ‘neu
iral” manager under Iranian gov
ernment control with an interna
tional staff made up of Dutch,
American ‘and other technicians,
as well as British.
The British have been deeply
concerned with the production ar
rangements since otherwise there
would be no oil to market. These
arrangements might be worked
out more between Iran and the
United States than in the formal
negotiations with Britain, because
of the Iranian governiment’s dis
trust of the British,
Mossadegh Ailing
The ailing Mossadegh, resting at
Walter Reed Hospital here, con
fered with President Truman and
other high high officials including
Secretary of State Acheson im
mediately after his arrival in
Washington Tuesday.
Mossadegh’s conferences with
American officials developed in
tensively through Wednesday,
then dropped off. The explanation
advanced for this today was that
much detailed work by the
Iranians must go into the planning
necessary for final decisions on
the settlement formulas being dis~
cussed.
_ Meanwhile the British were be
in¢g kept informed, and their per

to brief the mew Churchill gov

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Associated Press Service
The Athens Agricultural Fair
was termed “best ever” by the
throngs of fair goers last night as
they turned homeward with the
last few minutes of enjoyment
which they had experienced still
fresh in their minds. Saturday
night was perhaps the most suc
cessful and busiest time of the en
tire week that the fair has been
here in Athens.
As local citizenry wearily but
happily made their way to their
cars from the big gates of the fair
grounds Saturday night the Prell’s
Broadway Shows were already in
the process of taking down the
trappings of another week’s stand
to begin their trip to some other
Georgia town.
Prell’s Shows, which were fea
tured in Look Magazine this sum-
Fair officials wish to express
their appreciation to the officers
who directed traffic at the Ath
ens Agricultura]l Fair this year.
The fairgrounds were improved
to take care of the over-flow
traffic, but the aid of the offi
cers, deputized by Sheriff Tom
my Huff, was invaluable in
maintaining order.
mer, have one of the finest arrays
of educational and entertaining
shows in the carnival business.
Prell’s, as Look pointed out, is
not the biggest or the smallest
carnival on the road—but It is
typical of the glamour and excite
ment that fair-goers have come to
expect from the midway. Athens
pleasure-seekers were not disap
pointed if they were seeking thrills
and glamour,
Big Week
Tt has been a big week for the
fair here in Athens since last Mon
day when things got under way.
The rain, which put a damper on
early proceedings, was not long
lasting and resulted in no drop in
fair attendance.
Exhibits were featured this year
in a way that has seldom before
been done in the South. The Ath
ens Fair Association offered a tre
mendous sum of prize money to
encourage the people who were
interested in entering exhibits.
One of the most popular places on
the fairgrounds was the Com
munity building in the right hand
corner of the area. This building
was visited constantly throughout
the week. _
Besides the various Community
exhibits which were on display
there, the on-lookers saw the wo
men and girl's exhibits of sewing,
canning, and handicraft. Also in
that structure was housed the
flower exhibits of the combined
garden clubs of Athens. Each of
the six garden clubs had charge
of the exhibit for a day.
The midway attracted thousands
of Athenians with its bright lights
and daring shows. The free act,
which was witnessed each even
ing at 10 o'clock, was termed one
of the best acts of its type that has
ever been seen here. o
“Two Stars and a Moon” was
the high trapeze act which was
very much enjoyed here. From
the giddy height of 150 feet a
young lady, clad in glittering cos
tume, did her acrobatic tricks,
suspended from a bar held be
tween the teeth of her partner.
Completing the free act was a
daring dive from the top of a ole
125 feet high into five and a %alf
feet of water. :
Prizes Won
As always, there were a number
of those lucky people who carried
home souvenirs of the fair. Prizes
ranged from traditional dolls and
teddy bears to a television set
which was given-to Ellis Garrett
by the Fair Association for being
the holder of the lucky number
in the drawings which was held
Thursday evening. A second TV
set was given away on Saturday
night at the last drawing. The
name of the winner at that draw
ing was not available at Banner

Anti-New Deal
r
Says Rep. Scoft
GARDEN CITY, Kan., Oct. 27—
(AP) — Rep. Hugh D. Scott, jr.
(R.-Pa.) said tonight that Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower is “vigor
ously anti-new deal” and by all
odds a Republican.
Scott, former Republican Na
tional Chairman, said in a speech
prepared for a young Republican
convention here that Eisenhower
will “react on:a patriotic basis”
and accept the Republican nomi
nation if the people “demonstrate
that they want him for their Pres
ident.”
Urging the young Republicans to
endorse Eisenhower, Scott called
the General “the one candidate
who would be certain to become
President on the Republican tick
et” Scott is one of several GOP
leaders organizing a campaign to
get the nomination for Eisen
hower.
Wide Appeal
“He would appeal not only to
the 31 per cent of the American
people who consider themselves
Republicans, but also to the 29
percent who call themselves Inde
pendents, as well as to many of
the 40 per cent who regard them
selves as Democrats,” Scott de
clared.
“The Republican party is still
a minority party. To win the
support of a majority of Ameri
cans, our candidate and his plans
for all of us must appeal to most
of us. Therefore to win we must
earn the confidence of Republi
cans and of many independents
and Democrats.
“This we can do with an affirm
ative program of constructive al
ternatives to the Trumanistic pro
gram of waste and wantonness at
home, of indecision and irresolu
tion abroad.
“This we can do with an candi
date who shares their apprehen
sions in an apprehensive age, a
candidate who will have the cour
age to do something to cure our
national ills and the forthrightness
to take us Americans into his con
fidence.”

Mass For Petain
By GODFREY ANDERSON
PARIS, Oct. 27—(AP)—Angry
French veterans of two world
wars clashed with police at Notre
Dame Cathedral today after a re
quiem mass for Henri Philippe
Petain.
To the veterans of World War
1, Petain was the marshal who
said “they shall not pass” and
stopped the Germans at Verdun.
The the younger men of World
War 11, he was the traitor who
sold out his countrymen as vichy
France’s chief of state.
Old heroes of Verdun carried
their flags, carefully rolled, into
the church to honor the man who
once commanded them, Outside
thousands of resistance fighters
and deportees of World War II
screamed “Petain, assassin” as
they swayed against a solid bar
rier of steel-helmeted police.
French resistance organizations
had protested vainly that the mass
should be banned as a ‘“provoca
tion.” Msgr. Maurice Feltin, arch
bishop of Paris, replied that a re
quiem mass could be held for any
one when family asked for it.
Precautions
Police took precautions to keep
the two parties away from each
other. The great west doors of
the Cathedral were bolted in the
face of crowds demonstrating on
the square outside and only a
small side door was kept open.
* There, behind several police
lines, members of the Petain fam
ily and war-time personalities
such as Gen. Maxime Weygand
filed into the church,
Mme. Annie Petain, the mar
shal’s aged widow, could not at
tend. Crippled with rheumatism
contracted during her five and a
half years of voluntary exile with
her husband on the Ile D’yeu, she
was said to be too ill to leave her
room.
Petain died July 23 on the
island, to which he had been ban
ished after receiving a lifé sen
tence for treason.
Although the interior of the
cathedral was jammed, there were
no incidents during the service.
Trouble began as the huge congre
gation was filing out.
Angry Crowds
Anti-Petain -crowds sang the
Marseillaise and the Deportees’
song. Some raised clenched fists
in the Communist salute. Yells
were heard of “jail for collabora
tors” and “the Fascists shall not
pass.”
At one point the erowd stormed
a stationary truck and using emp
ty bottles as ammunition, rained
them on the police. Two police
men were hurt.
Several demonstrators were in
jured in other small clashes on the
cathedral square and in surround
ing streets. Several men were
dragged away under arrest.
Catholic resistance veterans
marched to the Archbishopric and
laid a wreath at the Archbishop’s
door. It hore the words: “Let us
pray God to enlighetn our Arch
bishop.”
Jewish students laid a wreath

Appreciation of the public’s
generous response to this year’s
Disabled American Veterans For

pressed today by Commander
Courtney B. Spratlin of Joe Brown
Conally Chapter No. 2.
“The good to which the money
will be put should gratify every
purchaser of blue flowers of re
membrance,” said Commander
Spratlin.
“With this fund we hope to aid
in every way possible any disabled
veteran or his dependents who are
in need. The money also enabled
us to help veterans in their ef
forts to obtain compensation and
pension, to find jobs and obtain
proper hospitalization. All money
will be spent in this area.”
The Commander had a word of
appreciation to all those who vol
unteered during the campaign.
for the Bulldogs so convincingly
that it was a contest between the
high school cheering section and
the regular cheering section.
Georgia cheer-leaders acted as
monitors, leading both contingents

Spring-like weather brought out

among the crowd. Especially in
the student sections were the ef

Churchill Tak
By EDWARD CURTIS
LONDON, Oct. 27 — (AP) Win
ston Churchill reinstalled Britain’s
World War II leadership today
with himself in the dual role of
Prime Minister and Minister of
Defense, and Anthony Eden as his
Foreign Secretary.
Acting with his old time vigor
because of what an official an
nouncement called a “critical fore~
ign and economic situation,” the
78-year-old Churchill went to King
George VI with his eight key cab
inet appointments less than 24
hours after his Conservatives
clinched victory over Labor at the
polls.
The King approved them at a
meeting of the privy council.
After spending the morning
propped up in bed, where he fol
lowed his custom of doing paper
work and holding conferences, the
new Prime Minister appeared at
Buckingham Palace beaming and
jaunty. Swinging a-~gold-topped
cane, smoking a huge cigar and
holding up two fingers in his fam
ous “V” sign, he was almost mob
bed by hundreds of cheering Bri
tons.
Magic Name
Such was the magic of the
Churchill name that Britain’s
towering problems — Iran and
Egypt, the cold war with Russia,
the recurrent spread between dol-
Jar intake and outgo—seemed a
ili'ctle less frightening.
' There were no surprises in the
!cabinet list which Churchill sub
'mitted to the convalescent King
at a 45-minute interview in the
audience room of Buckingham
Palace. All have proven qualifica
tions for handling difficult govern
ment problems. : Z
All the new cabinet members
were at the Palace. All got a cheer
as they left, Eden the biggest of all.
In keeping for himself his war
‘time post of minister of defense,
Churchill is in a position to give
greater -impetus to strategic plan
ning and Britain’s three-year 4 -
'700,000,00 pounds ($13,160,000,000)

Victimized MD
If Found Dead
NORTH READING, Mass., Oct.
27 — (AP) — Dr. Albert Covner
was found mysteriously dead on a
lonely wooded road today—lo days
after he was victimized by a teen
age girl sitter and two chums who
were arrested after an SIB,OOO
shopping and nightclubbing spree
in New York.
State police would say only
that the doctor, a heart specialist,
died in “a non-violent manner.”
medical examiner Thomas' P. De
vlin did not comment on the met
hod or cause of death of the 51-
year-old Covner who was report
ed missing by his wife yesterday.
He said h ewould check “possibil
ity of poisoning.”
Mrs. Covner told police the Doc
tor vanished after dismissing his
secretary and nurse and saying
he would be “unavaliable for a
while.” Last Oct. 17 the Doctor’s
home was ransacked and SIB,OOO
taken from a strongbox. At the
same time a 15-year-old-girl sit
ter, whom the Doctor called “a
sweet gril and very reliable”
disappeared with two girl friends.
All three were arrested a few
days later in New York City.

Be Considered, Reds Are Told
BY NATE POLOWETZKY
MUNSAN, Korea, Sunday, Oct. 28.— (AP)—The truce
negotiators return to the breeze-flapped tent at Panmun
jom today with the Allies standing pat in their refusal to
swap hard-won ground for peace in Korea.
United Nations representatives told the Reds Saturday
no further consideration could be given to the Communist
proposal for a buffer zone which would cost the Allies a
strip of hard-won territory as much as 15 miles wide.
The Allied negotiators said,
however their own proposal for
a cease-fire line geierally follow
ing the present battlefront was
“not a flat take it or leave it posi
tion.” The U, N, is prepared to
make adjustments, but only minor
ones.
Meet Today
Another meeting was slated for
11 a. m. today (9 p. m. EST, Sat
urday). y
On the battlefront cnly patrol
skirmishes were reported Satur
day. Air battles continued in
northwest Korea, the U. 8. jet
pilots reporting eight red MIG
15s damaged.
The buffer-zone subcommittees
met three and a half hours Sat
urday. The situation smacked of
another deadlock, but optimism
persisted in this advance U. N.
command. camp. that both sides
would yield enough to settle the
issue,
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
official U.. N, command spokes=-
man, said the two-member Allied
subcommittee made it clear to the
Reds there was “no fat on this
(the U. N.) proposal that can be
trimmed off by compremise.”
The Allies insist on helding most
of their battle-won present posi
tions in the 16-month-old war be
cause these make up the most de
fensible line in event of a Red
doublecross after an armistice.
Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes,
chairman of the Allied sub-com
mittee, bluntly told the Commu
nists the U. N. had gained by force
the territory it had failed to get
by bargaining at the old Kaesong
truce talks last summer.
Complication
Complicating the issue is a dif
ference of opinion as to where
the line of combat exists. The U.
N. buffer zone is drawn on the
actual fighting line—where pa
trols clash, rather than along the
respective main lines of resis
tance.
Both sides agreed Saturday to
pin-point on maps their patrol
contact points. Communist will
ingness to discuss this added to
the feeling of optimism in Mun
san.
The batfle line extends diagon
ally—and irregularly—f{rom sev=-
eral miles south of parallel 38, in
western Korea, to a point more
than 35 miles north of the parallel
on the east coast.
U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, Korea, Sunday, Oct.
28— (AP)—Allied bombers pound
ed a vital bridge in Northwest Ko
rea Saturday despite determined
interceptor assaults by Russian
made jet fighters.
Allied jets flying cover for the
eight Okinawa-based B-29s dam
aged eight Red MIG-15s, the Air
Force reported, but one of the
B-29s was hit and had to land at
a Korean base.
The Air Force said all of the
112 American and Australian jets
returned to base. Some 105 Com
munist jets were counted in the
streaking air battle high over Sin
anju. It was the first time in
months the Allies held a numeri
cal advantage over the Red jets.
The air battle highlighted war
developments. Ground fighting
slowed to patrol action Saturday
after battalion-sized Communist’
attacks were hurled back on the
western and eastern fronts Friday
night.
Air Target
Target in the B-29 raid was the
1,930-foot bridge spanning the
Chongchon river at Sinanju. It is
a vital link in the Communists’
north-south railroad supply route
from Manchuria.
Reconnaissance pictures showed
it was cut in five places 11 days
ago, but the damage repaired. The
Air Force did not report the re
sults of Saturday’s strike . imme

Moose Club Sets
Clothing Drive
For Needy Youth
A good many children in Athens
schools who otherwise might not
have sufficient clothing, or warm
enough clothing, to face the ap
proaching winter months are going
to be made comfortable through
the efforts of members of the local
Loyal Order of Moose Lodge No.
767.
The Moose members have been
quietly conducting a survey
through school principals and
teachers and the County Welfare
Department and they have find
that even now, before the ecold
weather sets in, a large number
of children attending school are
inadequately clothed.
Officials of the Moose Lodge
said the Welfare Department
helped 833 cases last year, need
ing aid, most them in mneed of
clothing.
Their Findings
They found that last winter
many children went to school
without coats and on bitter eold
days. They found that frequently
little girls had insufficient under
clothing. But above all they found
the paramount need to be shoes.
Fire Chief W. C. Thompson has
offered to allow the three fire
stations to be used by the Moose
asg collection centers and anybody
wishing to have a part in this
worthwhile effort, is asked to
leave any usable clothing, shoes,
etc; at any one of the three fire
stations and tiefl t!}x‘is 1341::21 con
venient, to ephone R
Moose Lod.ge, and a member %
call by and pick up the garments
and shoes.
Though there is a dire need for
shoes, there is also a very definite
need for warm outer garments and
rain coats, capes, ets. :
320 On List
Members of the Moose Lodge
say that already 320 children have
been placed on the list needing
clothing, raincoats, shoes, capes,
ete, and the cold weather has not
yet really arrived. As the weather
gets colder and rainy days arrive,
this list will be greatly increased.
For that reason the Moose mem
bers are anxiaus to get a head
start on the bad weather and have
articles of clothing on hand as they
are needed more and more.
Remember, leave your gift of
garmets and shoes at any of the
three fire stations, or telephone
4641 and they will be taken up
by a member of the Moose Lodge.
