sideration and deep concern in
the case the Judge said he felt it
was “a situtation where I felt ifa
pelled to impose sentences—the
nature and the scope of the trans
actions requires it.” He announced
the following sentences:
Merritt N. Andrews, who was
convicted by a jury and was de
scribed by the Judge as “pro
bably the directing mind” behind
the conspiracy to steal and sell
the government property, got three
years in prison.
John M. Bryan, who pleaded
guilty but who the Judge said had
committeed offenses only slightly
less gerious than those of Andrews,
two years in prison.
Eugene C. Rice, who also plead
ed guilty and who, with Bryan,
was described as a supervisor in
a place of trust at Robins, two
years.
Aiken M. Stanton, who was
convicted by a jury, two years in
prison, Stanton operated a radio
‘supply shop and was convicted
on knowingly receiving and sell
ing some of the stolen govern
ment property. He was intoxicat
ed at the time of the hearing but
the Judge declined to hold him in
contempt of Court. |
Jones Sentence
Raymond R. Jones, who pleaded
guilty, was sentenced to serve 17
months by the Judge, who ex
plained that, unlike the other
defendants, Jones had been in
Bibb County jail since his arrest
on the charge in May. The others
had been free under bond. Jones
was an Air Force Sergeant at
Robins when most of the property
was stolen,
Howard N. Golden, who was
convicted by the jury, was sen
tenced to serve 12 months in pri
son.
Ferrell H. Linder, who was con
victed by the jury, was sentenced
to serve eight months in prison.
The Judge said he was extending
Linder “additional mercy not on
his account.” lawyers had ex
plained that he had seven chil
dren and his wife is in ill health.
The men were charged in in
dictments of taking property
valued at about SIB,OOO but FBI
Chief J. Edgar Hoover estimated
the amount of goods taken from
the base at over $500,000.
Deputy U. S. Marshals said all
the men except Andrews would
be sent to the Federal Reforma
tory at Tallahasee, Fla. He said
Marshall E. B. Doyle would have
to receive a directive from Wash
ington on where to send Andrews
in view of his long sentence.

Recorder’s Court
In Recorder’s Court this morn
ing Judge Olin Price fined a man
$33 for failure to pay for 11 park
ing tickets. The defendant re
ceived a parking ticket yesterday,
and upon checking the records, of
ficers discovered that he had ten
other tickets for which he had not
paid. The tickets were dated be
ginning in July of this year.
A man arrested Saturday on
Madison avenue for driving under
the influence of intoxicants was
fined $201.50 and his driver’s li
cense suspended for 60 days.
Another defendant, apprenend
ed by local officers for driving in
excess of the 15-mph speed limit
in a school zone on College avenue
yesterday, was fined $16.50 this
morning.
Four cases of drunkenness and
theree for violations of the city
auto registration ordinance were
heard. Bonds of $11.50 were for
feited by the defendanis in two of
the drunkenness cases, the other
defendant being fined $11.50. Each
of the auto registration violators
were fined $7.50.
Fire Calls
Chief W. C. Thompson reported
that local firemen answered a call
this morning to 575 Waddell street
where a garage, housing a late mo
del car, had caught fire. Damages
were reported heavy.
Slight damages resulted when
weatherboarding near a chimney
on the house located at 165 Fair

He conceded, however, that
there may be some major revis
ions in the legislation suggested
by the commission.
Some influentisl - committee
members favor a provision that
would let inductees fake their six
months of training in two periods
of three months ‘earh, presumably
during the summer months when
schools are closed.
Others want assurance that
youths who automatically go into
the reserves after their six months
of training cannot be recalled to
active duty without an’emergency
declaration by Congress.
Much Sentiment
There is sentiment, too, for a
requirement that inducted youths
serve their six months in their
home areas except in the case of
youths assigned to the Navy.
Vinson declined to commrent on
the possibility that Congress might
further restrict the implementing
legislation by prohibiting the in
‘duction of anyone into UMT as
long as youths are being drafted
for military service.
Present plans contemplate the
training in UMT of approximately
60,000 youths in the next fiscal
year, with the draft and the UMT

New Shake-Up
As for the new offices to be
brought into the shake-up, Dun
lap is said to feel the bureau
should clean its own house, where
it can, without waiting for inves

Altogether, more than 30 em

placed some employes under sus

Dunlap took over the bureau
Aug. 1 after the resignation of

BEEF COMES TO MARKET: “With plenty of feed for fattening we are going to get more beef.”
BEEF OUTPUT BOOST PROMISES
GOOD STEAKS YOU CAN AFFORD
By GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Food and Markets E%
CHICAGO — (NEA) — ks
like Santa Claus may hang a thick
juicy steak on the average family’s
Christmas tree this year. That’s
the belief of John Hoimes pres
ident of Swift & Co., world largest
meat packers.
Harry S. Eldred, executive vice
president of Armour & Co., second
largest packers, adds similar
Christmas news. “The only meat,”
he said, “and that means any type
or kind of meat—that should be
sold at a high price in the immed
iate future in steaks and roasts of
the extraordinary fine grade such
as you get in expensive restaur
ants and clubs. Many other cuts
will be available at or below ceil
ing prices.”
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture reports that beef output
in the first half of November was
18 per cent greater than during
Qctober. 7
“As more and more beef comes
into the market, housewife prices
should come down other factors
remaining unchanged,” Holmes
told me in his Chicago office
overlooking the stockyards.
There are indications, however,
that if a greatly accelerated re
armament program puts more
money in our pockets and if the
war threat should be intensified,
the meat price picture might
change.
No Surplus
Eldred said there is still no
surplus to top grade beef and
added they could sell more of ii
if they had it.
John Holmes, keen-minded,
clear-eyed and with strong moral
convictions, denied the accusa
tions of some consumer groups
that the big packers control both
the supply and price of meat.
“For a long period, until this
big seasonal run of cow beef and
the accelerating movement of
steers from the feed lots began,
our kill was restricted by OPS
prices from One-third to one
quarter of normal,” he said. “We
used every ingenutiy we could
think of, including taking losses
on our beef, to keep our custom
ers supplied. And with all that
we were unable to do it. Other
big companies were pretty much
in the same fix.”
He was unwilling to say direct
ly that some processors who have
been handling more meat than
normal were cheating under OPS
rules, but he thought many of
them had failed to report their
purchases or had misinterpreted
the rules.
“We calulate our reputation too
highly not to live up to OPS com~
‘pliance,” he added. “But now,
with large numbers of cattle mov
ing to market we are able to op
;erate on a free market under
compliance again and supply our
dealers with the meat they need.
Looks to me we’ll have this situ
ation for a 1(:Iw :nox.lths at least.”
} Not the Yule spirit, nor con
trols, but weather, seasonal trends
‘and bigger payroils have turned
‘the trick in favor of the family
meat platter. The weather has
been exceptional for several years,
he explained. Good weather
means good grass on the farms
.and good feed grains in the fieids.
These things build up the nation’s
meat supply.
“It takes two years to grow a
steer,” Holmes said,” and cycles
of cattle production usually run
from four to five years or longer.
Cattle raisers are beginning to
increase marketing but these
marketings still are not as heavy
as a year ago, despite the fact
we have more cattle on hand
now. As a result,” he added,
glancing out toward the yards,
“with plenty of feed for fattening
we are going to get more beef.”
| Rearmament is putting money
in more pockets. The clink of
that money is creating more de
mand, too.
“Arnericans = spend about six
per cent of their total income on
meat,” Holmes explained. “That
goes for both good times and bad.”
! Heavy Supplies
| The revolution in the method
|of raising poultry has brought
!abnormally heavy supplies. These
have cut into the demand for
meat according to Eldred.
“From now until the first of
the year, the average family will
eat poultry on an average of one
| oay out of seven,” predicted this
executive of a company with two
and a quarter billion dollars sales
a year.
However, the predominating
thing in the public mind is meat,
| he said. “They want it every day
in the week. That’s why the pres
sure is always to send more and
more to market.
“But I hope the movement of
cattle to market now will be
| orderly, not panicky,” he added.
“Ilf we deplete our herds, we
would soon be in an awful fix for
four to five years,” he warned.

Gottwald himself was suspected

Gottwald Won
However, Gottwald won _ eut,
apparently with Moscow support.
Slansky rose to prominence
among Czech Communists in 1945
when he took over the Secretary-
Generalship, which had been held
by Gottwald. It was he who went
to the founding meeting of the
Cominform—the Communist In
ternational Information Bureau—
in Poland. After the Communist
coup of February, 1948, seizing
power in Czechoslovakia, Slansky
appeared to be the boss.
Haunted by economic troubles,
the Czech Communists also feared
the rise of “Nationalist deviation”
in their ranks—independence of
Moscow. Vladimir Clementis,
former Foreign Minster, was im=-
prisoned, along with other high

(From Augusta Herald)
Final rites for Judd Jones, 17-
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. O.
Jones of Berckmans road who died
Saturday night, were conducted
Sunday afterncon from the Epis
copal Church of the Good Shep
herd where he had served on the
altar as an acolyte.
The Rev. Allen B. Clarkson, rec
tor of the Good Shepherd, offi
clated, and interment was in West
over Memorial park.
Pallbearers were Dr. D. R.
Thomas, Ed Hixson, Dr. Ralph
Chaney, Sherman Converse, W. T.
McKendree and L. Webb Hurt.
Judd Jones, one of Augusta’s
most popular youths, was stricken
ill at North Georgia Military Col
lege at Dahlonega, Ga., Sunday a
week ago. He was rushed by am
bulance to the University Hospital
here where everything that medi
cal skill could do was resorted to
in an effort to save his life. How~
ever, his condition became pro
gressively worse until he passed
away late Saturday night.
The only child of his parents,
other survivors are his maternal
grandparents, Dr. and lrs. A. G,
Richardson of Athens, and a num
ber of aunts and uncles.
The death of young Jones cast a
pall of sorrow over the city, as he
was beloved and highly esteemed
by everyone who knew him. He
received his early education in
local schools, graduating last
spring from Richmond Academy.
He stood high in his studies and
was popular with the student
body.
Mr. Jones, the father of the
youth, is circulation director of
the Newspaper Printing Corpora=
tion, and previous to this held the
same position with The Herald for
more than a decade.
The sympathy of the entire area
goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Jones in
their bereavement.

7. The mflitux commander of

Joy said the Immediate object

The Communist g}:‘n had no
provision for either ~roaming
inspection teams or a guarantee
against a military build-up, These
two points were exgectod to be

The Red plan proposed:
1. Hostilities to end the day an
armistice is signed.
2. Armed forces to withdraw
from the demilitarized zone with

8. Military forces to vacate
coastal island and seas off each
others coast within five days.
4, Armed forces stay out of the
buffer zone.
5. Create a joint commission re

Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
who speaks for the U. N. commanc,
said the Red plan seemed to deal
with ‘almost minor administra
