Dr. Hurz and Mrs. Lacher are friends of long-stand ing, dating from 1938, when Dr. Hurz studied at the University of Georgia as the only woman ex change student from Germany to ever ‘attend this institution. The lovely German visitor’s concern for the Communist mensce is very real to her, for she has known. the experience of flight to take herself and her fam=- ily from the reach of its authority. Iri 1945, when the Russigns were sweeping into Germany from the Fast, she walked out of her house with what few possessions she could earry with her, placed them ‘n a wheelbarrow with her three children and hegan sn arduous 250-mile walk to seek safety in the American zone. o War Is Strange - A Here is found a prime ex:r:.%; of the strange qualities of war, for #cross the ocean in America, her ATHENS BANNER-HERALD Associated Press Service Representative Athletic Teams To Continue, President Aderhold Avers President O.

' Many Leaders “The intercollegiate athletic program at the University for more than half a century has had a part in the development of many leaders of the state and nation. Hundreds of alumni in Law, Edu cation, Business, Industry and Ag riculture have participated in the University’s broad program of health, physical education, and intercollegiate athletics. Last Saturday the University honored 115 graduates of this institution who now hold important positions as teachers of health and physical education and as coaches. “The intercollegiate athletic program at the University has made available funds for capital outlay to the extent of approxi mately one million dollars. These investments are in the stadium, Memorial Hall, Woodruff Hall, athletic fields and other parts of the University plants. The re placement cost of these facilities would exceed three million dol lars. Intercollegiate football over the years has provided the funds for these developments and makes available annually more than thirty-five thousand dollars for intercollegiate baseball, track, swimming, golf and basketball. It also makes available and spends between thirty thousand and forty thousand dollars each year on up keep of athletic facilities at the University of Georgia. “Students participating in inter collegiate athletics at the Univer sity are admitted on the same basis as all other students. Those on athletic scholarships are en rolled in degree programs in prac tically all of the ten schools and colleges and are subject ot the same academic and scholastic rules and regulations as all other students, “ v “One of the problems which we must face in the Southeastern Conference is the increasing cost in operating intercollegiate ath letic programs.

EIGHTH ARMY HEAD QUARTERS, Korea, Sunday, Nov. 4 — (AP) — Allied forces hurled back sporadic small-scale Chinese Communist attacks in wes’ern and central Korea Saturday, but the battlefront was generally quiet. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway’s headquarters had good news for combat veterans — “home by Christmas” for infantrymen who were in action as long ago as last Jab. 1. Headquarters issued the an nouncement to clear up scuttle butt rumors that “all” enlisted men would be sent home under the rotation system. The order does not apply o rear echelon troops or officers awaiting “qualified re placements.” Mark Time Frontline forces of both sides generall marked time while truce negotiators talked at Panmurjom. The Reds mounted eight small at tacks near Yonchon, on *he west ern front, and southeast of Kum son%, on the central front. Allied troops beat off seven of the assaults and withdrew a short distance in the eighth. But when the U. N. forces moved back up they found that the Comrunists had pulled out. . There were three brief dogfights in northwest Korea. Red-nosed MIG-15s shot down a U. S. F-84 Thunderjet near Sinanju. Another Thunderjet pilct bailed out after his plane developed mechanical trouble. Three MIGs were re ported damaged. Planes Downed The pilot of the shot-down jet was seen parachuting into the arms of Communist ground troops. An Allied flying boat rescued the other flier near Chinnampo. A third Allied plane, a propel lor-driven F-51 Mustang, was shot down in flames by Communist ground fire on the central front. Night-flying bombers lashed at an estimated 2,000 Communist ve hicles steaming southward on the main supply routes. Pilots re ported destroying 200 of them. The Peiping radio asserted that the Allied advance south of Kum song had been stopped. 1t evi dently was a reference to last week’s limited offensive in the central front sector. “They (the Allies) paid a heavy price in men for these few kilo meters from which the People’s forces wtihdrew on their own in itiative,” said the Red broadcast.

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER A CENTURY. ATHENS, CA., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1951, Outlook Bright By NATE POLOWETZKY MUNSAN, Korea, Sunday, Nov. 4 — (AP) — An Aliied proposal to demilitarize controversial Kae song hrigrtened prospects for agreement on a buffer zone in the Korean truce talks Saturday. The Reds had not yet replied, but any such new situaticn us~ ually requires a higher-level com= munist huddle. It was possible that something concrete might develop at today’s 11th meeting of the armistice sub committees at 11 a. m, (9 p. m, EST, Saturday). Oral Prepeoal The Allied proposal to resolve ihe knotty buffer zone problem wag made orally during Sautdray’s four-hour meeting at Pammunjom, Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, United Nations command spokes man, said the Communists seemed cool but said nothing definite. Until that meeting, the Allies had insisted that the Reds yield some 200 square miles of territory in western Korea — including Kaesong — in exchange for an equal amount of ground to be given up by the U. N. in central and eastern Korea. The Allies also Iv?%lg yield noth of parallel 38. el 38. The Peiping radio — apparent=- ly commenting on developments preceding the new Allied pro posal — declared today that the Communists had defended Kae song “against everything the Am erican Eighth Army could throw against it.” The Red broadcast described as “absurd” the Allied proposal that the Communists give up the Kae song area, Making Kaesong a demilitarized zone could mean that the rubbled city, 34 air miles northwest of the capital city of Seoul, would be placed under joint policing or would be included in the buffer zone strip across Korea. Tentative Agreement The opposing sides are in ten tative agreement on an Allied suggested cease-fire line two and one-half miles wide generaly fol lowing the present battlefront in side north Korea. Kaescng is two miles south of parallel 38, the old political boundary of miwrth and south Korea. ; Nuckols said the new Allied pro posal Wwas not a concession, but “a sincere attempt to get a solution.” Meanwhile the battlefront lull continued. There were eight Com munist attacks in relatively small strength on the western and cen tral fronts, but seven were hurled back. The eighth resulted in a short withdrawal, but Allied forces pushed back and found that the Reds had pulled out.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, Nov. B.— (AP) — General Dwight D. Eisenhower flew ‘back to America today with a fresh disclaimer of political ambi tions, and amid indications he may step swinging into a Washington clash over the speed of re-armament. “I have never had any po litical aspirations—period,” the Supreme Commander of the Allied powers in Europe told reporters on his arrival at New York from Paris. He wouldn't even say whether he was a Democrat or a Republi can. Asked whether it would be correct to say that “Come what may, you will not be a candidate for the Presidency next year,” Eisenhower replied: “Of course you can't say that. I will not indicate political leanings of any kind. I'm doing a job, That’s my statement.” While the General thus shut off political questions, and said the progress of European defense is partly encouraging and partly dis couraging, the stage was being set for the talks he will have here with President Truman and other leaders Monday and Tuesday. . Ike Dissatisfied | Informed officials passed the word that Eisenhower is deeply dissatisfied with the rate of mili tary buildup n Europe, and also wants Washington to join in cre~ ating a small, battleworthy mili tary force there in six months or sO. ¥ This schedule would be far ahead of the long range, full strength defense plans now en visaged. To put it into effect, Eisenhower is expected to press for some changed procedures in U. S. arms production and distri bution. Some officials predicted he would bear down hard {o get changes ordered during his Wash ington talks. “I have come home on the mil itary side,” he said at New York. “I am on a job in which the United States has invested worlds and worlds of freasure, time and thought, and for me to imply any political or partisan leanings would be a dis-service to the country.” In discussing European defenses, he said: “The advances of the past year have been encouraging but there is always the gray zone of human affairs, There are some fine ad vantages and some discouraging ones.” ; Mrs. Eisenhower flew witih her husbnd from Paris. They will visit their son, Major John E<cen hower, at Fort Knox, Ky., before the General comes on to Washing ton tomorrow night for his two day round of talks. He will*re turn to Paris Wednesday.

He added, however, that he would be delighted if material for such a story should come to him. The successful Georgia native explain ed that he only produces two pic tures annvally and only those scripts he pens himself. Writing for him, he continued, is his pri mary profession with producing taking a second place. “Nonsense” Trotti gave a very firm “that’s a lot of nonsense” in reply to a query about the recent Life bally hoo that movies were on their way to the graveyard with the ad vent of television in the enter tainment world. He conceded that Hollywood did panic at first about the adverse publicity, but he opinioned that such would be the normal reaction of any big busi ness in the nation. He admitted that Hollywood had reason to worry at the time the publicity burst forth, for some bad pic tures had been released for pub lic consumption. Trotti believes now, however, that the industry )has little need to worry for they are putting out some of the best § A" B T : Qe el ] Lo e T ON, Pl R 'i:f B e e e Y Ty ¥ 00l R P e S e . 4 5 b o gl 3 . . \ S Y ¢ 7\ : : Bt L 0l b g o 0 X : g R v 0 . % R o B = .

Clubs Set Joint 0f Chest Drive Seven civic clubs in Athens will hold a joint meeting Monday even=- ing in an effort to complete the 1951 Community ( t drive in his area. C. M. Ridlehuber, Community Chest Drive chairman, announced that all ecivic elub presidents agreed to the combined meeting which wiil replace the separate meetings of the clubs for the week. Walter Danner, Community Chest President, will preside at the joint meeting, beginning at 6:30 at the Georgian Hotel. The campaign to raise $61,000 for the Community Chest here has brought in $48,000 during the past few weeks. Ridlehuber hopes the quota can be completed through the members of the club participating in the Monday even ing meeting. Organizations benefiting from the funds raised include YMCA, YWCA, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Salvation Army, Cancer Society, Heart Association, Tuberculosis and United Defenes Fund. All are conducting important work in this vicinity. The one drive to benefit nine organizations replaces the indivi dual drives needed in-former years to keep these groups active, Ridle huber has stressed this fact (Continued on Page Two.) material in the history of the busi ness, “Although I can’t be con=- sidered any prophet,” he smiled, “l believe that there will even tually be ‘some sort of marriage between the two industries.” Educational Theater Questioned about his views on the value of educational theatre, Trottie did not hesitate to express the opinion that any theatre train ing people thoroughlv in the field is good. He recalled that in the pioneer days of entestainment theatre personnel served appren ticeships in summer stock groups and touring companies. Now, how ever, he pointed out, newcomers to the field too often by-pass stock to attempt a short cut to success. In addition to its value as a train ing field Trotti added a view that educational theatre encourages a real interest in drama amiong the nation’s audiences. Trotti freely discussed the re cent advocation of a dccentralized theatre, that is, spreading the cen tral points of theatre throughout the nation rather than concen trating it in the two present cap itals, New York and Hollywood. He feels that the ideal thing wouk{ be for theatre to become nationa in its scope. He admitted that the voming of sound pictures at one time made a touring group an un profitable venture. But he pointed out *he recent laudits given “Don Juan in Hell”, toured through the nation by such personages as Charles Laughton, Cedrick Hard wick, and Charles Boyer, is an example of the renewed success (Continued On Page Two) Read Daily by 35,000 People In Athens Trade Area ® East, Midwest Lashed Wind, S Rai By Wind, Snow, Rain By The Associated Press Snow, rain and whistling winds lashed the East and Mid west Saturday. : The onslaught began at a time when most of the nation was feeling the sting of freezing cold—a cold that set new low records for the date at many points. The rough weather resulted in at least 20 deaths. It was autumn by the calendar. But, as a matter of cold fact, it was winter. The wild weather cut down the size of the crowds in football stadium in the storm sectors. Scores of high school games, and some minor college games, were pastponed or cancelled. Winds up to a mile-a-minute accompained a heavy rainfall in New England. Gusts of 63 miles an hour were reported before the blow began to peter out at noon. ‘Trees Felied The wind felled trees and twist=~ ed television aerials. Power fail ures hit at least 10,000 homes in the suburbs of Boston. Eight inches of snow fell in the Buffalo, N. Y., area. Ceneral New York State and western Pennsy lvania had falls that scaled up to four and a half inches. Massena, N. Y., had six inches of snow. A blanket of two to three inches was laid down in Maryland be tween Frederick and Hagerstown. Two inches or more or snow <¢oat ed the western North Carolina mountains. Most of West Virginia was covered by a light snow. Buildozers scraped four inches of snow off the field at Ithaca, N. Y., so Cornell and Columbia could play football. Snow, thunder and lightning oc curred at the same time in New York City early in the afiernoon. ~ The weather “bureau at Chicago warned that snow and strong, shifting winds will make travel hazardous in Minnesota, Wiscon sin, Northwestern lowa and North western Illinois. Temperatures touched lows be low the freezing mark in 28 states. Only the far west and a strip of land along the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic escaped the nip. Wisconsin Low The lowest reported was two below at Park Falls, Wis. The chilliest snap of the budding cold season froze old records off the books at many points. Some samples: The 11 above at Chicago and the 19.4 at St Louis were the coldest for Nov. 8 on the records of the weather bu reaus of those eities. . Dixie was chilly, too, gun-jump ing winter sent the mercury down to 12 above at Lexington, Xy., to 15 at Nashville, Tenn. and to 22. at Jackson, Miss. Temperatures were on the skids in Florida. Forecaster predicted a low of about 42 for Sunday down in Miami. Tallahassee, Fla., had a low reading of 38 Saturday and expected a sub-freezing tem perature Sunday. ¥ Mre. Wilbur Remp, a housewife in Hialeah, a suburb of Miami, reported she saw snow flurries there Saturday.

Trofti Is Named Athens’ First Honorary Citizen Lamar Trotti, famed producer for Twentieth Century-Fox movie studios in Hollywood and a grad uate of the University of Georgia, yesterday became the first to re ceive the award of honorary citi zen of Athens. The award ‘Was presented by Mayor Jack R. Wells in a brief ceremony between the halves in the official box of University President O. C. Aderhold at the Georgia-Alabama foetball game. The official citation, on parch ment with the seal of the City of Athens, paid tribute to Mr. Trotti for bringing “honor and distinc tion to the State of (reorgia and to the City of Athens” where he “re sided while an outstanding stu dent at the University.” In accepting the award, Mr. Trotti said he was “most grateful” and now that he is a citizen of Atboens he intends to make many more visits here. HOME EDITION A.F.L. Proposes “Efficiency” By HAROLD W. WARD WASHINGTON, Nov. 3—(AF). A new wage policy under which pay raises would be permitted for increased efficiency and godmc tion was proposed today AFL members on the government’s wage stabilization board: The AFL, explaining the plan in its publication *economie sur vay,” contended that by eutting costs the plan would permit wage increases without boosting prices. It will be considered by the full wage board, representing indus try and the public as well as la-~ bor unions, at meetings next week. While no specific dollars-and cents or percentage allowance for improved production was suggest ed by the AFL members, a five per cent increase has been dis cussed infcrmallys Cost Of Living Added to the 10 to 12 per cent cost of living increaseg mow per mitted by the board above Jan« uvary 1959 levels, that would send the figure to 17 per cent, “By improving efficiency we do not mean a pernicious, speed-up with increased work loads,” the AFL publication said. “That would impair, not increase, real efficiency.” AFL officials suggested that workers contribute ideas for short cuts and better ways of doing things. Much could be done, they said, in reducing waste and im proving the quality of output. The wage board has allowed General Motors workers the four cent hourly increase called for an nually in their contract for im=- proved production. Company gf~ ficials say they are satisfied more care’ are rolling from the assem bly line with less waste than be fore. But the board has not yet made a general ruling for all workers. That’s what the three AFL mem bers are seeking, Big Hele a The proposal would provide a big hole through which CIO President Philip Murray and his steel workers could drive a bar gain with the steel industry in upcoming negotiations. Murray’s Steelworkers could be entitled to only about four cents an hour under the Board's cost of living allowances formula. They had an increase last year amount ing to about 10 percent, so that they could only get about two per cent more by the end of the y<ar, when their current coatract ex pires. Murray has already said that four cents would be “very low” for his 800,000 Steelworkers, and the whole stabilization program could be rocked if he negotiates more and it is not approved by the Board But Walker wasn't thinking only of Murray in proposing his productivity formula.
