India Offers Pla: To End
East- West Deadlock In UN
Allies Advance
Despite Savage
BY JOHN RANDOLPH
SEOUL, Korea, Nov. 26.—(AP)
.Communist troops today attack
ed savagely through deep snow
and bitter cold at both ends and
in the center of the Korean battle
line.
In the west, advancing U. N.
froops were hit by a reinforced
Communisa battalion south of
Panmunjom, the site of cease-fire
necotiations. Some 20 miles away.,
near Yonchon, Allied forces Sun
day had shattered an attack by up
to 24,000 Chinese against ‘“Little
Gibraltar.”
Fichth Army headquarters said
Allied troops were pushing toward
hich ground south of Panmunjom
when the Reds counterattacked,
<hoving the U, N. forces back to
ward their main lines.
Fast of the Pukhan river on the
central front, where the U. N.
command launched a victorious
two-day line-straightening offen
sive November 17-18, a Red bat
talion drove Allied defenders out
of three advanced positions.
Southwest of Kumsong, in the
same general area, U, N. forces
mounted an attack of their own
snd recaptured an advance posi
tion recently lost to the Reds.
Reds Repulsed
The U, N. command has ex
pressed belief the Reds were try
inc te grab strategic positions
while truce negotiators at Pan
munjom are attempting to map
the battle line. Victory in such a
campaign would have far-reaching
eflects since the line being drawn
will become the permanent cease
fire line if an armistice is signed
within 30 days after the line is
adopted.
In the ar, Allied and Communist
jets tangled Monday in a new air
battle over North Korea.
The Fifth Air Force said 17
F-86 Sabre jets tangled with near
lv. 60 MIG-15s and damaged two
in an action swinging from 35,000
feet down to 19,000. It reported
that all the Sabres returned safely.
Snow up to six inches, tempera
tures as low as 10 above zero, and
icy winds up to 60 miles an hour
heralded the first big wintry
storm. That enforced a ground
lull.
But the Little Gibraltar fight
from Friday into Sunday was
ilerce,
An Allied officer said the com
bat effectiveness of an entire
three-division Chinese Red army
corps (about 20,000 troops) was
destroyed in Allied defense of Lit
tle Gibraltar’s four dominating
peaks west of Yonchon, He esti
mated that 1,500 Reds were killed
and more than 3,000 wounded.
Red prisoners said they had
been told the war would end soon
if they took the peaks.
Few UN Losses
Allied officers described United
Nations losses in the fight as low
despite some of the most intense
Red mortar and artillery fire in
weeks.
There was a growing belief on
the western front that Russian
satellite officers have taken com
mand of Chinese artillery. Red
artillery has increased markedly
in effectiveness since November
and one Allied radio man said he
had heard “pure Russian” artillery
oraers.
The first big winter storm froze
the fighting Monday into a lull.
The temperature sank to 10 above
zero in the east where six inches
of snow covered the jagged moun
tains. In the west, it'was 12 above
with four inches of snow.
Winds in gusts up to 60 miles an
hour lashed the west.
Up to Monday, there were no
reports of ground action of any
consequence. The biggest battle on
each side appeared to be to keep
warm.,
The wind whistled among Ko
rea’s unending hills and moun
tains. The cold was not to be com
wed with the 27 degrees below
) encountered by the Allies

Study Group Proposed To Work On
Soviet, Big 3 Disarmament Plans
BY STANLEY JOHNSON
PARIS, Nov. 26. — (AP) — In separate peace moves,
India and Pakistan laid before the United Nations General
Assembliy today plans for breaking the East-West dead
lock on disarmament.
India’s Sir Benegal Rau led off the Asian-Arab peace
drive with suggestions for a “study group” to try for a per
manent end to the Korean war and for an Assembly sub
committee to try to recognize the Western and Russian
disarmament proposals. e

Upchurch Dairy
Damaged By Fire
Sunday Morning
Fire of undetermined origin
completely destroyed the wooden
wing and resulted in considerable
damage to the concrete portion of
the Upchurch Dairy building on
Barnett Shoals road early Sunday
morning, according to Fire Chief
W. C. Thompson.
Firemen answered the call to the
Dairy at 3:16 Sunday morning and
battled the blaze for nearly three
hours before checking its pro
gxt;ess. A glrouphof men who had
en on a late hunting trip, notigc~'
ed the fire and caned:flae’gmé%:
partment, firemen stated today.
The portion of the dairy most
damaged by the fire was the pro
cessing plant where the milk is
put in cartons and sealed.
William D. Cobb, an employe of
the Upchurch plant in Bogart, was
injured while assisting in battling
the blaze, it was learned here to
day. General Hospital officials re
port that he suffered a broken leg
and back injuries and is at the
present time confined to the hos
pital. Mr. Cobb had rushed to the
scene of the fire with a 40-gallon
foam fire extinguisher upon being
informed that the Dairy was burn
ing. He had climbed to the roof
of the structure in an attempt to
extinguish some smoldering em
bers when a wall collapsed, caus
ing him to fall, witnesses report
ed.
No estimate of the damages had
been made at press time today, but
officials stated that considerable
time would probably be required
to repair the razed portions of the
structure. Much of the dairy
equipment was badly damaged,
but, since arrangements have been
made for outside handling of the
milk, processing and delivery of
milk will continue for the present,
Dairy officials stated today.
IKE WARNING
ROME, Nov. 26—-(AP)—-Gener-l
al Dwight D. Eisenhower sternly |
warned Atlantic Pact Command
ers today to stop haggling overl
command appointments, forget in

true Western security against ag
gression by polling their sover

He declared that unless Eu- i
rope’s defense line is built strong
ly, far east of the Rhine, there ne
ver will be peace without fear.
This was interpreted as a definite
reference to inclusion of German

Pakistan’s Sir Mohammed Za
frullah Khan then introduced a
formal resolution in the 60-mem
ber political committee to establish
a cenciliation group to negotiate
in private on disarmament.
The members of Pakistan’s
proposed group would be As
sembly President Luis Padilla
Nervo of Mexico, and delegates of
the big four—the United States,
the Soviet Union, Britain and
France,
This group’s private sessions
would substitute for the public de
bate which has been raging in the
United Nations for the past three
weeks.
Khan Resolution
Syria and Iraq joined Pakistan
in sponsoring the resoltuion sub
mitted by Zafrullah Khan.
The proposals came as many U.
N. delegates, studying Scviet For
eign Minister Andrei Vishinsky’s
proposal Saturday to tack num
erous amendments on the western
disarmament plan, saw little
c}}ance of an east-west compro
mise.
Vishinsky’s amendments, if
adopted, would convert the Amer
ican-British-French plan for a
carefully supervised arms census
and verified, step-by-step disarm
ament culminating in outlawing of
the atomic bomb, into the Soviet
plan for immediate prohibition of
atomic weapons, a big five dis
armament conference and an im
mediate one-third cut of all con
ventional armed forces and wea
pons. .
India’s Rau proposed that the
U. N. assembly take a direct hand
in halting the Korean fighting as
a first step toward world peace,
contending an end to the war was
the “first essential” to easing east
west tension.
He suggested that, in view of
prospects for a military cease-fire,
the assembly should set up a
“study group” to consider a perm
ament solution to the Korean
problem, Members of this group,
he said, should be appointed as
individuals and not as representa=-
tives of their government.
Rau Action
Rau said he would move formal
ly later for this action and for
creation of a special committee to
reconcile the disarmament pro
posals if his suggestions met with
general support in the assembly.
Despite the glaring differences
between the western and Rus
sian disarmament plans, he de
clared, there were certain ele
ments in common which he
thought might make it possible
to reconcile them. This, he ex
plained, would be the task of the
five-man subcommittee he sug
gested.
But observers saw little or no
chance that the west would agree
to start disarmament with a ban
of atomic weapons—of which it‘
apparently hs far more than the
Soviets, or reduce by one-third its |
conventionl armed forces and
arms—of which it admittedly has
less than Russia and her satellites. ‘
There seemed equally small
chance of any major Soviet con=-
cessions,
Truman Makes Inquiry
Into Atrocity Charges
By ERNEST B. VACCARO
KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. 26 —
(AP) — Confidants said today
President Truman is making a
thorough inquiry into the handling
of the Korean atrocity charges.
An atmosphere of official sile
nce, however, enveloped his in
vestigation. And the same official
silence covered his study of:
1. The alledged shooting down of
an American bomber by Russian
fighter planes. "
2. Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Y. Vishinsky’s rejection of the
American-French-Britisii disarma
ment proposal. .
3. A House Committee’s demand
for Justice Department files on
tax fraud prosecutions for its in
quiry into internal revenue bu
reau scandals.
Presidential Secretary Joseph
Short refused to comment on any
of these develapments, but other
White House aides, unquotable by
name, said the President is re
serving a statement on the atrocity
charges until he has only the facts
at his co;nma?d.
Atrocity Comment
In his only public comment on
the atrocity charges, the President
termed the charges horrible and
said if true it was the most un
civilized thing that has happened
in the past century.

ATHENS, GA., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1951.
Byrd Says HST
Is Democrafs’
Weakest Hope
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—(AP)
Senator Byrd (D.-Va.) sald he
regards President Truman as
“weaker today than any” other
possible Democratic nominee tr
the presidency in 1952 and he
does not think the President can
be re-elected.
Byrd, perhaps Mr. Truman's
bitterest critic within his own
party, said however it is his per
sonal belief “that he is going to
run if he thinks he can win,” and
he added: “I've been doing all I
can to help him make up his
mind. I do nct think he can be
elected if nominated.”
Mr. Truman has said he has
decided whether he will run again
but is not ready to announce his
decision.
Meanwhile, Senator Aiken (R.-
Vt.) proposed that the Republicans
nominate for the vice presidency
the Senate’s only current woman
member, Senator Margaret Chase
Smith of Maine. Mrs. Smith said
she is not a candidate.
Leaves Liftle Doubt
Byrd, in an interview with the
magazine U. S. News and World
Report, left liitle doubt if Mr.
Truman wins the Democratic
nomination again, he will eon
tinue to oppose him. In 1948, the
senator opposed him up to and
during the party convention, but
remained silent thereafter.
“Conditions were different in '4B
from what they are now,” B&d
said. “Today lam convinced t
Mr. Truman would bring this
country to disaster if his program
is adopted. :
“T feel further that his re-elec
tion in 1952 could rightfully be
claimed by him to be a mandate
from the people to put through this
program in its entirety.” ;
Byrd said, as he did in a recent
speech in Alabama, that Southern
ers should fight against Mr. Tru
man’s nomination through the con
vention and “hold ourselves free
to do whatever may be necessary”
thereafter if Mr. Truman is re
nominated.
He said he “couldn’t say”
whether Southerners who feel as
he does would support the GOP
ticket if the President runs again.
The senator continued:
Great Opposition
“I think the opposion te Mr.
Truman and his policies is very
much greater in the South Wan
it’s ever been before.
“Four southern states, as you
recall, voted the States’ Rights
ticket last time and thereby broke
the belief on the part of many that
in the South you have to vote the
Democratic ticket in order to stay
in politics. Those in the four
states who led the fight to leave
the Democratic party in 1948 are
stronger than those who opposed
leaving the Democratic party.”
Asked about feeling in the
South toward Chief Justice Vin
son, menticned by some as a possi
ble candidate behind whom it
might be possible to unify the
party, Byrd said any such move
would depend in part upon the
platform. He added: |
“Nobody knows that Mr. Vinson
would accept if nominated.”
Aiken’s boost for Mrs. Smith as
a possible vice presidential nomi
nee was made in an interview.

The silvery northbound South
erner pulled from a siding here
into the path of the onrushing
southbound Crescent. The sledge
hammer crash turned the first car
%f the Southerner into a giant cof
in. g
The trains met on a high rail
road trestle 29 miles southwest of
Birmingham. The Crescent was
using the Southern tracks because
a bridge was out on the Louisville
and Nashville lines near New Or
leans, 320 miles away. ;
The Soutnerner had stopped
after pulling out from the siding.
The Crescent rounded a curve and
roared into it.
“We slammed back 80 feet,” said
George Newton, Seminary, Miss.,
a passenger in the third coach of
the northbound train. “Everybody
was runnimg through the train
screaming.”
Normally the Crescent operates
over the Southern to Atlante,
over the West Point roule to
Montgomery, Ala.,, and thence to
New Orleans via the L & N.
Known Dead
All of the known dead were on
the Southerner, most of them in
the first car, which was smashed
like an eggshell. Trainmen said P.
J. Powers, Birmingham, engineer
of the northbound train, was killed
and his body caught in the wreck
age. It had not been recovered.
Fifteen negro dead were re
moved from the ill-fated car, the
“Mississippi,” a combination bag
gage-passenger coach with 22
_seats.
It was telescoped by the car be
hind it.
Rescue workers cut into the car
with torches to bring out the vic~
tims.
One of the first was a plump,
unmarked little girl of 2 or 3. She
was still warm, but dead.
K. C. Shults, division superin
tendent of the Alabama Great
Southern (a division of the South
ern Railway) sald there was no
indication that safety signals
which should have stopped the
Southerner on its siding were not
working.
The northbound train had gone
into the siding to allow its south
bound companion train to pass.
The 13-car crescent was a few
minutes behind the other south
bound train.
Shults said the Crescent prob
ably was running at about 60 miles
an hour when it hit.
7 Cars Derailer
| Seven cars of the Crescent left
the tracks, with four plunging off
the 40-foot embankment. Almost
miraculously, no one was killed in
the cars which dropped to the
ground.
Next to the “Mississippi” was an
extra coach on the Southerner and
few if any passengers were using
it.
The Southerner’s eight cars
were crowded with 214 passengers.
Only 119 were on the Crescent.
Fuel from the Crescent’s en
gine caught fire from the impact
but was quickly put out.
Cecil Love, Birmingham, South
ern engineéer on the Crescent, was
seriously injured. He told the
ambulance driver who brought
him to Bessemer to a hospital he
“tried to jump out the cab door,
but I couldn’t get it open in time.”
More than 40 ambulances from
Birmingham, Bessemer and Tus
caloosa answered emergency calls
broadcast by the State Highway
patrol.
Many thousands of curious
jammed the single narrow high
way from Birmingham to Wood-~
stock, delaying rescue work.
Jim Buford, Tuscaloosa, board
[ ed the Southerner at that city, its
last stop before the wreck.
| Crash Description |
“The crash was like a sledge
hammer blow,” he said. “I heard
'the porter yell. I rust have
‘blacked out. The next thing I
remember, was the voice of a boy
screaming, ‘mother, are you dead?
speak to me, mother.’
“Another passenger was scream
ing for morphine. I went back to
the club car and got some minia
tures of whisky. The porter was
hurt, but he said ‘Who’s going to
pay for these,’ and I told him ‘Who
cares’ and gave them to some of,’
