Truman-Barkley
Tickef Foreseen
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30—(AP)
Senator Anderson (D.-N.M.) pre
dicted today the Democrats will
come up with a Truman-Barkley
ticket again in the 1952 Presiden
tial race,
Anderson, who heads the Dem
ocratic Senatorial Campaign Com
mittee, told a reporter he believes
Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) will be
the Republican nominee.
Presumably there will be a lot
0f speculation about the Democra
tic ticket when the National Com
mittee meets here tomorrow to
ratify the selection of Frank E.
MecXinney, Indianapolis banker, to
be the new party chairman. Mec-
Kinney was endorsed last night by
retiring chairman Willlam M.
Bovle, jr., and thus obviously by
President Truman.
If everything works out as he
envisions it, Anderson said he
thinks the Democrats will win
handily next year. He listed as
“excellent” his party’s chances of
retoining control of the Senate.
The Democrats now. outnumber
Hepublicans 50 to 46 in the Senate.
And the seats of only 13 Demo
rais, as compared with those of
‘0 Republicans, are at stake in

ratic seats are in the Democratic

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
me— AT Am—————
As” " od Press Service
Just a few hours earlier, the
outgoing Chairman, William M.
Boyle jr., gave McKinney his sup
port, explaining that he'd talked
with President Truman about the
matter.
That indication of the President’s
approval made McKinney’s choice
a virtual cinch when the Democ
ratic National Committee meets in
Washington tomorrow.
McKinney himself, who has
dabbled in baseball, radio, real
estates and even pipelines on the
side, was sure enough of his elec
tion to check the airline schedules
for communting between Indiana
polis and Washington.
He said he plans to stay in
Washington from Monday through
Thursday each week and spend
his three-day weekends with his
family and at Fidelity Trust Co.,
a bank he has served as president
since he was 30 years old.
After Jan. 1, the schedule would
change to permit full-time work
in Washington through the election
campaign.
McKinney told reporters one of
the conditions of his acceptance
was his promise to resign as an
officer of the U. S. Pipeline Co.,
which is trying to get steel priori
ties from the government.
Boyle figured in Senate in
vestigations of alleged political
influence in loans from the Re-
Construation Finance Corp. He in
sisted, however, that he did noth-~
ing wrong and gave health as the
reason for his resignation, which
he announced Oct. 13.
McKinney said he agreed to re
sign his office in the pipeline com
pany and to dispose of all of his
stock. He described himself as a
“large stockholder” in the firm.
“Furthermore,” he said, “I'll
state here and now that so long as
I am National Chairman, no com
pany which I am affiliated with
or interested in will ever enter
the doors of a government bureau
of agency seeking favors or con
siderations of any type or charac
ter.”
The petroleum -~ administration
said the pipeline company’s re
quest for priority for 100,000 tons
of scarce steel can't be considered
before Jan. 1 because all 1951
steel is already earmarked.
McKinney’'s sudden rise to the
doorstep of the Democratic party’s
top job has been typical of his
life. As a lanky Catholic boy, he
managed a crack semi-pro base
ball elub, the Sacred Heart Young
Men’s Club, which took the eye of
Ownie Bush, former major lea
gue shortstop and manager.
That got him into polities be
cause Bush was also a power in
Democratic politics in the “bloody
13th ward” on the south side of
Indinanapolis and wanted to
groom potential leaders.
Within 10 years he had worked
his way up from bank bookkepper
to cashier. Two terms as County
Treasurer brought him large fees,
which his friends said gave him
his financial start. o
He said he’ll continue his bank
job and his interests in Indiana
radio stations, including WISH,
Indianajolis. He has sold the in
terest he once held in the Pitts
burgh Pirates and most of his
stock in the Indianaplois Indinas.
The Democratic party got him
into state politics in 1948 because
it was broke and out of political
control. He raised almost $225,000
and the Democrats won the state
administration.
McKinney resigned as treasurer
of the Indina Democratic Commit
tee last March and his been de
voting most of his time to his
bank.
His father, Roscoe A. McKinney,
is Fire Chief on Indianapolis.
The McKinney's have four
children — Claire Marie, 18; Ro
bert, 15; Frank E, jr., 12; Margaret
Kathleen, 10 months.

dead and five missing today after
the flaming collision of three ves
sels in Buffalo Harbor.
A charred mass of bodies was
found this morning in the cabin
of the tug Dauntless. Three bodies
had been recovered earlier.
The Great Lakes freighter Pen

Dixie Democrat
Sef Election -
By TOM LITTLE
SELMA, ALA., Oct. 30 — (AP)
—Dixie Democrats went ahead
with plans for their 1952 election
curtain-raiser today even though
the star of the show, Virginia’s
Senator Byrd, won't be in the cast.
Byrd made it plain yesterday
that he intends to leave here short
ly after speaking at the annual
meeting of the Dallas County Farm
Bureau Thursday,
A conference of anti-Truman
leaders to talk election strategy
is scheduled after Byrd’s speech.
State Rep. Walter Givhan, who
called the caucus, said at the time
it might develop into a “draft
Byrd” for President movement.
The Virginia Senator said yes
terday, however, that he must
leave Montgomery at 2:20 p. m.
(CST) Thursday in order to get
a flight to Washington before Fri
day.
Byrd Speech
Byrd’s talk is at 11 a. m. (C9T)
and a barbecue which probably
will last at least an hour follows.
He must drive to Montgomery, 50
miles to the east, to catch his plane
so there will be little time to sit in
on a party meeting.
Byrd will be in Montgomery the
night before to attend a private
dinner party in his honor given by
lumberman Scott Shepherd, bro
ther-in-law of Gov. Herman Tal
madge of Georgia. He said he will
have plenty of iime for meetings
that night.
Even if Byrd Isn’t present for a
post-speech conference, anti-Tru
man leaders are going ahead with
their plans. Givhan said he had
received acceptances from Take
madge, Gov. Fielding Wright, Gov.
-Elect Hugh White of Mississippi,
Senator Eastland (D-Miss) and
Reps. George Anwrews, Kenneth
Roberts and Frank Boykin, all
members of Alabama’s Congres
sional delegation.
Many Expected
Givhan added: “We expect a
large number of legislators as well
as other influential people from
Alabama and other Southern
States.
Absent besides Byrd, will be
Gov. James Byrnes of South Caro
lina and Senator Russell (D-Ga).
Both declined invitations.
A leading State Righter who
talked to Givhan yesterday said
a resolution is in the process of
being drafted and will be offered
to the Southern Democrats. The
contenfs. were not revealed.

BUFFER ZONE BARGAINERS—A special subcommit

been trying to reach a decision on what should consti

tute the buffer zone in Korea. After reaching no agree
ment on this point Major General Henry I. Hodes and
Rear Admiral Arleigh Burke (top) leave the conference
tent at Panmunjom. They were closely followed by
North Korean General Lee Sang Cho (with briefcase)
and Chinese General Hsien Fang (bottom). Meanwhile
on the battlefront the Allies have been occupied with
repulsing the enemy in their screaming charges.— (NEA

BY ROBERT T. TUCKMAN
MUNSAN, Korea, Oct. 30.—(AP)—A United Nations
truce negotiator said today ‘“we’re busting our guts trying
to get this war settled” but the Reds are making “no at
tempt to get a reasonable solution.”
The statement came from Major General Henry I
Hodes, chairman of the U. N. truce subcommittee, during
a recess in the sixth joint subcommittee session at Panmun
jom.
The negotiators met three hours
but failed to make headway
toward creating a Korean cease
fire line. Another meeting is sche
duled for 11 a. m. Werlesaxy (9
p. m. Tuesday EST).
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
U. N. spokesman, said:
“The Communists continued to
press for their proposal which
would trade indefensible territory
in West Korea in the Ongjin area
for important military positions
along the battlefront. No progress
toward a solution was made.”
No Red Offer
At Panmunjom, within sight of
bursting Allied shells, Hodes said
the Communists “have made no
trade, no offer, no attempt to get
a reasonable solution.
“They say they will withdraw
from the Ongjin and Yonan penin
sulas. This is absolutely meaning
less. It makes no difference to us
and it makes no difference to
them. There isn’t any argument
for it.”
The two peninsulas are west of
the battleline. They protrude be
low the 38th parallel, old political
boundary line between North and
South Korea. Ongjin is cut off by
water from the rest of South Ko=
rea.
The Allies want U. N. troops left
in a defensible position along
whatever cease-fire line is created
or the armistice. Their latest
roposal is for a 2'%-mile wide
uffer zone along present battle
lines. Under the Reds’ counter
proposal U. N. troops would have
to retreat five to 15 miles south
ward from their present ridges.
A newsman commented to Hodes
that the Red plan would mean
Allied withdrawal frem newly
won Heartbreak Ridge on the
eastern front. The General, Chief
of Staff of the U. S. Bth Army, re
plied:
“There are a hell of a lot of
Heartbreak Ridges as far as I'm
concerned-—a couple of hundred
of them.”
Hodes said the Communist ne
gotiators objected to giving up
Kaesong, former site of truce eon=-
ferences, as asked in the U. N. pro
posal.
“They said that we (Allied
troops) are not anywhere near the
avea,” Hodes commented. “That is
true today. Prior to the negotia=-
tions last July, our people were in
as much c¢ontrol ofthe area as the
ey al
enge said the Reds got Kdesong

Montreal Ready
For Royal Visit
MONTREAL, Oct. 30—(AP)—
Montreal, Canada’s biggest city,
today whipped up what it hoped
would be the biggest and loudest
welcome of all for its royal visi
tors.
Striving to outdo rival Toronto’s
huge reception earlier in the royal
tour, the city arranged for Prin
cess Elizabeth and the Duke of
Edinburgh a tour through 75 miles
of streets and nine events on this
first full day of their visit here.
Last night gave them a taste of
its bilingual enthusiasm. An es
timated 500,000 onlookers cheered
the royal visitors on their first
appearances here after their ar
rival from the west by plane.

BRINGING BACK THE DEAD-—Korean

fighting on Korea’s east central front.
SHARPEST ACTION REPORTED
* INKUMSONGMOUNTAIN AREA
BY SAM SUMMERLIN
U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea, ‘Oct.
30.—(AP)—Allied infantrymen in eastern Korea beat
back an attack near Heartbreak Ridge by 1,000 Chinese in
predawn darkness today, then drove ahead 1,000 yards in
daylight. :
On the western front United Nations forces gained more
than half a mile northwest of Yonchon with little trouble.
Reinforced Chinese who had
hurled day-long attacks at the Al
lies southeast of Kumsong in the
center of the line Monday made
only two small probing attacks
Tuesday. Both were turned back.
In the air war Communist anti=-
aircraft guns shot down two Am
erican planes Tuesday — an F-80
Shootinf Star jet and a reconnais
sance plane. The Fifth Air Force
said there was “no chance of pilot
survival.” : :
“For the second straight day Red
jet pilots refused to fight Ameri
can jets over MIG alley in north
west Korea. American airmen said
they spotted 60 MIG-15s, but the
Reds kept out of range.
Fighter pilots stepped up their
flights in support of ground troops
to 131 Tuesday.
Central Front
On the central front an Allied
raiding party stabbed two miles
northwest of Kumsong and shot
up the town of Choso.
U. N. patrols probed all through
the area, feeling out strengthened
positions of the Chinese since a
fresh division moved in to back up
units hurt by this month’s Allied
offensive. One patrol was caught
in Communist artillery fire and
suffered some losses. Another
blasted into the village of Chang
bangpyong.
Reds and Allies struggled for
control of a ridgeline ten miles
southeast of Kumsong. Troops of
eitber army atop the ridgeline
v;ould endanger the other's supply
ane.
Sharpsst fighting Tuesday was
in the mountains between Kum
song and Heartbreak Ridge. A
battalion of screaming Chinese
stormed dgainst Allied infantry=-
men in the early morning black
ness.
U. N. troops, dug in on a ridge
recently won from the Commun
ists west of Heartbreak, stuck to
their foxholes and trenches and
cut down the shouting Reds.
With daylight, other U. N. in
fantrymen in the same area jump=
ed off in an attack. By noon they
had pushed forward 1,000 yards
against light opposition.
The Reds mounted only four
other “light probing attacks’ along
the entire front, the Eighth Army
reported. Two were by platoon=
sized forces near Kumsong, where
the Chinese recently shoved in a
fresh division to curb U. N. ad
vances. :
One small attack was knocked
down nporth of <Yanggu, not far
from Heartbreak Ridge. The
fourth was northwest of Kansong
on the east coast.
Monday 110 fighter-bombers,
most of thenr operating over the
eastern ridges, bombed, burned
and strafed the Reds in frontline
action.
916 Sorties
Altogether the Fifth Air Force
mounted 916 sorties by Korea
based planes. This is only the sec
ond time that more than 900 sor
ties have been flown from Korea,
More than 100 other flights were
made by planes from Japan and
Okinawa, including B-29 strikes
through heavy flak at newly built
airfields in northwest Korea.
Red anti-aircraft batteries shot
down three Allied fighters — a
Shooting Star jet, an F-51 Mus
tang and a Marine F-4U. Fighter

New Teachers At
School For Deaf
ATLANTA, Oct 30 — (AP) —
The State Board of Eduestion to
day provided $6,300 to add two
new teachers at the Cave Spring
vidy stubesis itk ORI
vide stu 5 W
to the dining hall,
- However, the board rejected a
request that a second diming hall
at the school be reopemed.
The action followed eriticism of
the school earlier this msemth by
the Georgia Assoclation for the
Deaf. The Association report said
thodtoachixm st;fftlt the school is
inadequate an at une
dining hall requires smdmdnn
to walk some distance in all kinds
of weather. j
~ School board member Glenn
Milner of Rome told the board he
had made an investigation after
the Assoclation report was made.
“There are 280 students &t the
school and 87 teachers,™ Milner
said. “that is almost one teacher
for every three students.”
However, because there are
more teachers for white ehildren,
Milner recommended an appro
priation of $2,800 to prowvide two
additional negro teachers for the
remainder of the year.
He said, however, that reopen~
ing one of the dining halls would
cost about $15,000 and thet in his
opinion the request was unreason
able. He added that he thought
it was good exercise for the stu
dents to walk to and from the
present dining hall.
Milner said there are some
handicapped students who mneed
transportation and he recommend
ed an appropriation of $8,8500 to
purchase a bus. He explained that
while the bus would be avalable
to transport those childrem #m bad
weather it also would be wused
principally for other schoeol pur
poses,
