ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Associated Press Service
BY STANLEY JOHNSON
PARIS, Nov. 12.—(AP)—
Britain’s Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden called on the
Russians today to put aside
major world issues tempor
arily and seek a step-by-step
solution to the coid war.
~ “Let us grasp the definite
and limited problems, and
.work for their practical solu
ticn,” Eden said in a coneil
iatory speech before the
United Nations General As
sembly.
“That is the real road to
peace. That is the way to
make a fresh start,”” he de
clared.
Eden’s speech, his first in the
U. N. since the founding confere
nce at San Francisco in 1945, was
notable for its mild tone and lack
of attacks on the Russians. :
Backing up U. S. Secretary of
State Dean Acheson’s policy state
ment last week on every point,
Eden citea the British-French-
American disarmament proposals
as one example of how the East-
West disputants could work fror’rx
the small issues to the large.
Eden Views
“We sugdest,” he declared, that
disarmaments “should begin with
the less important categories of
armed forces and armaments, then
move on to those that are more
important and secret, and there
fore more difficult to handle.
“The sooner we can agree on
the simper categories, the soomer
we shall have confidence to tackle
more complex tasks.”
Eden appealed to Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Vishinsky to re
consider his scornful rejection of
the Western proposals. The Rus
sian had submitted, instead, his
own disarmament plan calling for
a World Arms Conference.
Eden also urged, as Acheson had
before him, that agreement be
reached to: e
1. End the war in Korea;
9. Reunite Germany through
free democratic elections;
3. Give Austria a treaty ending
the occupation by France, Britian,
the Soviet Union and the United
States; -
4. Admit Italy to the United Na
tions. .
Time Not Ripe
Eden implied that the time was
not yet ripe for a conference of
Churchill, Marshall, Stalin and
Churchill, Marshall Stalin and
French Premier Rene Pleven, as
French President Vincent Auriol
suggested last week.
First, the foreign secretary told
the assembly, the climate must be |
created through sincere attempts |
to settle limited problems “in
which the kind of moving appeal
which Monsieur Auriol made to
us can meet its full response.”
Canadian Minister of External
Affairs Lester B, Pearson, speaking
later, also urged Vishinsky to re
verse himself.
“The three powers have made
a serious propesal,” he said. “We
know, however, that a determin
ing factor must be the attitude of
the U. S. S.SR.lhope that this
attitude will be reconsidered, SO
that the Soviet delegation may be
able to help us realize, rather than
to laugh at, the deepest hopes of
mankind.”
Eden was greeted with a great
burst of applause when he took
the rostrum to speak. The public
galleries were jammned. Acheson,
completely recovered from a heavy
cold, was in the audience as were
Vishinsky and Schuman.
The new British Foreign Secre
tary told delegates he had found
something new to him since re
turning to the U. N. after six years
out of office—‘the pitter vehe
mence of the polemics exchanged
at international gatherings.” |
He said it was small wonder
that some should ask, in such cir
cumstances, whether the U. N. can
“ynild the peoce and security for
which the whole World yearns.”
“«For example,” he said, “ on
Wednesday last, three of the pow=
ers {aut before you certain pro
posals for disarmament. One might
have expected that these proposals
would have been welcome, O at
least considered on their merits.
- Vet within a few hours, they
were denounced by the representa
tive of the Soviet Union in &
speech which certainly did not err
on the side of moderation.”
Perseverance Promised
Eden stressed that the three
Western powers “intend to per=-
servere with our disarmament pro
posals” and insisted they were
completely new in three import
ant respects.

Southern Stafes,
Up Civil Right
BY DON WHITEHEAD
HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Nov. 12.—
(AP)—Southern governors turned
to the politically red-hot subject of
Civil Rights today. Some Dixie
leaders stiffened their opposition
to any Democratic “beat Truman”
campaign in next year’s presiden
tial election,
Outspoken resistance to a States
Rights Democrat revolt was one
of-the surprise develcpments in
the -conference as pro-Trunran
forces stolé the first day limelight
from the President’s political foes,
This stand against a revol: was
certain to receive strong backing
tonight from House Speaker Sam
Ravburn of Texas. He will address
the governors at their annual
state dinner. Rayburn, a staunch
Democrat, is reported ready to
call for party loyalty from all
Southern Democrats regavdless of
who the nominee might be.
The Civil Rights issue, the main
reason some Southerners bolted
the party three years ago, was
raised first by Governor Fielding
Wright of Mississippi. He was the
States Righters candidate for vice
president in 1948.
States Rights
Speaking as conference chair
man, Wright declared that States
Rights “ is a phrase embracing a
philosophy of government in
which we here in the South be
lieve and take pride in defend
ing.”
He said: “Regardless of what
others say, we in Mississippi are
determined that the segregated
educational systerh shall be main
tained. |
«“We recognized our responsibili
ty and our obligation to furnish
equal facilities for both negro and ‘
white students.”
And then Harry Ashmore, ex
ecutive editor of the Little Rock
Arkansas Gazette, told the Gov
nerors:
“The high cost of segregation has
‘held back the overall develop
‘ment of our educational institu
\tions.
Ashmore added: “The practical |
problem before the South, then is
to preserve social segregaion while
at the same time meeting the con
ditions which demand that full
civil liberties and full equality of
opportunity be extended to all
citizens without discrimination.”
Both Wright and Ashmore pres
ented their views in addresses pre-=
pared for delivery pefore the con
ference.
Wright accused & “small group
of negroes in Mississippi” of try
ing to break down segregation in
the schools of his state. He added
they are “lending aid and comfort
to those who seek to destroy the
public school sytem of the South.”
Ashmore said the negro pro
blem had become “the emotional
lissue of the hour.” He also critic
zed those who meddled in the
l south’s affairs without understand
ing them.
Political Front
l On the political front, two Gov
ernors spoke strongly for Presi
dent Truman and turned thumbs
down on any rebellion that would
split the Democratic party.
Gov. Sid McMath of Arkansas
said: “I don’t think this conference
will be the scene of any Democra
tic revolt. I think the Governors
will stick strictly to the agenda
which is non-political.”
The Civil Rights issue was raised
in connection with the Governors
discussion of the South’s education
al problems.
Gov. W. Kerr Scott of No:th
Carolina declared his three choices
lfov_' the Presidency were. “Harry
S. Truman, Harry Truman, and
Truman.”
Gov. Gordon Persons of Ala
bama said he would not take sides
in the South’s political dispute at
least for the time being. He added
he did not believe an anti-Truman
drive would develop during the
conference.
There was no sign from Wright
or Gov. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina, one of President Tru=
man’s chief political enemies in
the south, that they plan to start
a “beat Truman” drive at this
time.
The =ik in corridors and hotel
rooms was that leaders of the
States’ Rights Democrats may have
decided this is not the time or the
place to begin such a move.

Peron Refurned
To Power By
Argentine Vofers
BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 12—
(AP)—Argentina has returnéd
President Juan D. Peron to an
other six years of power in a rec=
ord-breaking election which gave
him a thumping majority over his
main oposition,
Peron’s chief oponents, the Rad
ical Party, conceded his over
whelming victory on the basis of
gbovernment figures and unofficial
incomplete returns from yester
day’s election.
With about one-third of the
votes counted, the interior minis
try announced early today that
Peron had a total of 1,503,161
votes to 719,253 for Dr. Ricardo
Balbin, Radica%, Party candidate.
The pro-govérnment press hail
ed Peron’s victory as a vote of
confidence by the people, It said
his final majority will be bigger
than in his first election in 1946,
when polled 85 per cent.
Radigal leaders declared that
women, voting for the first time
in an Argentine general election,
were the main instrument in the
Peron victory,
~ Irregularities Ciied
The oposition claimed there had
been some irregularities in the
vote counmy. They suid that,
aecording to “their own count, &t
least five and possibly seven of
their candidates won congression=
al seats in the capital, which
sends 30 deputies to Congress.
There were no other oposition |
complaints of irregularities, but
Radical leaders reiterated charges
that the Peronistas defrauded
them during the pre-election cam
paign by not permitting the op
position equal campaigning facili
ties.
Reports by the interior ministry
and the information under-sec
retariat gave no hint of the way
the congressional elections were
going. They also omitted the num
ber of votes cast for the Commu
nists, Socialists, Conservatives and
other minor parties.
Peron in one of his pre-election
speeches ordered his followers to
vote for the full roster of Peron
ista candidates to give him strong

Of New U.S. Loan To Brifain
BY ERNEST B. VACCARO
KEY WEST, Fla., Nov. 12.— (AP) —President Truman’s
agreement to meet with British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill in January gave emphasis today to reports a new
English loan is in the making.
Presidential Secretary Joseph Short casually diselosed
Churchill’s plans at a news conference yesterday.
Short was telling reporters at a news conference of how
the President got up early Sunday and walked outside the
Naval Submarine Station where he has his quarters, and of
how he swam and sunbathed at the Naval Submarine Sta
tion.
'"S—li;idenly, a reporter asked
about a story, by John M. High
tower of The Associated Press,
that Churchill is expected to visit
Washington early in January for
Kumsong is an old Red supply
base, 30 miles north of the 38th
parallel.
Patrols clashed sharply south
west and southeast of Kumsong
Sunday. An Allied feeler thrust
northeast of the shell-torn cen
tral front town wae driven back
by heavy mortar and artillery fire.
Clouds And Fog
Heavy clouds and dense fog kept
most planes on the ground Mon
day. The Fifth Air Force said its
planes flew only six sorties, a new
low for any 24-hour period since
the outbreak of war.
Four B-26s used radar sighting
to bomb Communist front line
positions and two reconnaissance
planes flew over North Korea on
weather observatiof missions.
United Nations artillery pound
ed, hills near the Panmunjom area
shortly before truce negotiators
met in another effort to resolve
the knotty problem of a buffer
zone across the peninsula.
The Reds staged a series of sharp
assaults on the eastern fromt Sun
day. In the rugged region north
west of the Punchbowl the Com
munists attacked six times, twice
in more than company strength,
The Eighth Army reported all
the assaulte were repulsed, the
last one after nightfall.
1,060 Air Missions
Allied warplanes struck at Com
munist troops and supply arteries
in nearly 1,000 missions Sunday.
The Air Force reported Communist
rail lines were cut in 145 places.
F-86 sabrejets patrolling north
west Korea sighted Red- nosed
MIG-15 jets at a distance but the
Communist pilots avpoided combat.
The U. S. cruiser Toledo and Com
munist shore batteries had a three
hour gun duel off Hungnam on the
northeast coast. Thére was no
damage to the warship or casult
ies among its personnel,
The Navy reported that frac
ments splattered abainst the ship
from Communist shells falling as
close as 35 yards. The Toledo and
her escort, the destroyer Halsey
Powell, silenced the shore guns.
Farther south, the U. S. battle
ship New Jersey pounded ' Red
troop concentrations in the Ko
song-Kansong area. The battle
wagon’s 16-inch rifles caused an
estimated 300 to 490 causalties.

eosting some eight hundred dollars, Optimists scored
again, This one was designed for boys that needed halp,
and how they went for that work shop. A great project,
and a revelation as to what boys can do when they have
a chance.
Then for good measure, out at Pinetop, the “Y” sum
mer camp, some twenty boys were rounded up and
treated to all the joys that such a camp can bring. .
The Board of Governors of the Athens Optimist Club
has jusk appointed a committee from the board to ae

talks with the President.
“Quite probably, the prime min
ister will be in Washington some
time in January,” Short said.
There was no indication what
soever that the conference, cer
tain to be delayed until after Mr.
Truman has submitied his “State
of the Union,” budget ana econom=
ic messages to Congress, will in~
volve either the French or' the
Russians.
Auriol Propesal
French President Auriol has
suggested a meeting of President
Truman and the British, Russian
and French heads'of state to help
ease inter-national tension.
Ever since the British election
campaigns that sent Churchill
back into control of the British
government, it has been a gen
erally known fact that Churchill
would re-new his old acquain
tance with Mr. Truman if return
ed to power,
No matter what the two dis
cuss, nothing will exceed in im
portance British need for financial
aid.
“Ehurchill, Short said, has had
an exchange of messages with the
President, ? :
He added that he knew of no
plans to include Russian Premier
Stalin or French Prime Minister
Rene Plevin in the discussions.
There was speculation that
Churchill might address a Jjoint
session of Congress. i
The meeting of the two will
bring two old friends face-to-face
for the fourth time., Mr. Truman
met with Churchill and Stalin in
Potsdam in 1945. Churchill was
replaced by Labor Prime Minister
Attlee in the midst of the con
ferences,
old Friends
Churchill and the President
later journeyed to I'ulton, Mo.,
where the British statesman de
livered a hostoric address in
which he gave popularity to the
“iron " curtain” phrase which has
become the accepted description
for the ban of news from Russia
and her satellites. e
Still later, the President had
lunch in Washington with
Churchill following a speech the
latter made to the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology..
Churchill, presidential aides be
lieve, will propose: .
1. A closer partnership between
the United States and Great
Britain, which would involve not
only frequent meetings with Pres
ident Truman, but even more fre
quent meetings between Secre
tary of State Acheson and Foreign
Minister Eden, o
9. Substantial financial help
from the United States (runnin¢
into the billions) to help combat
the English ‘economic erisis.
3. The United States give Eng
land a greater voice in the de
velopment of foreign policy in
volving both governments, possi
biy including more say-so in
atomic policy.
Whatever the two may agree
upon, there was no assurance of
congressional approval.
Chairman McKellar {D-Tenn.)
of the powerful Senate Appropria
fions Committee said he hopes
Churchill will not seek additional
money from this country, adding
that “our own people have an ex
cessive load of taxation to bear.”
British Idea
There was every indication that
the forthcoming conference was
strictly a British idea.
Mr. Truman has repeatedly em
phasized his belief that world
problems should be debated in
the United Nations, and that con
