[tiantic Allies Plan
10 Boost Armed Night
BY STAN SWINTCN
ROME, Nov. 28.—(AP)—The 12 Atlantic Allies today
end five days of consultation charting the way—they hope
—to raise Western defense forces in Europe to 100 divis
ions of combat and reserve troops by the end of 1954.
Concrete decisions on boosting the Western army and
solving the complex problems sprouting from a‘ desired
butter-plus-guns economy, are expected in January, when
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Council
meets again.
President Truman and British
Prime Minister Churchill will con
fer in Washington before then and
may bullaoze a couple of stum
bling blocks out of the road. They
include a NATO North Atlantic
naval commander and the stand
ardizing of rifles and machine
guns.
Strength Boost
The Council yesterday boosted
to 100 divisions its program of
1954 strength.dßarlier it had set a
goal of 70 combat divisions at the
end of the next three years.
Sources reporting this new goal
were vague about the details of
how many mren would come from
which nation. But they did say
that the new goals include re
serves capable of being mobilized
and equipped within a month if
needed. They added that the fig
ure does not include troops from
Greece and Turkey, two novitiate
members who probably soon will
be approved as full partners in
the alliance.
Turkey could provide perhaps
half of her 16 divisions, the
Greeks two or three divisions.
100-Division Goal
The 100 division goal also will
be subject to change at the Janu
ary meeting, the sources said,
after W. Averell Harriman, head
of the U. S. Mutual Security
Agency, and his economic survey
ors from the other 11 Allied coun
tries compute how much arma
ment the strained economries of
Europe can provide.
The report of Harriman's com
mittee, expected to be completed
in another two weeks, will be
placed before the January meet
ing for its aproval. It is meant to
show just what Europe can do to
build its own defenses, and how
much American aid may be need
ed to accomplish the 100-division
army.
"he expanding defense plan
calls for creation of a European
army of men fromr France, West
Cermany, Italy, Belgium, The
Netherlands and Luxembourg—
plus separate British and Amer
ican troops.
A treaty agreeing to start re
cruiting by April for this unique
army — 560,000 men organized in
43 divisions — is expected at the
January meeting.

{1 Airmen Die
in PBM Crash
SAN DIEGO, Calif.,, Nov. 28
-—-(AP) — A Navy PBM (Martin
Mariner) seaplane plunged into
the ocean seven miles west of here
yesterday, carrying 11 airmen to
their death. It was San Diego's
worst military plane disaster in*a
decade.
In another Southern California
plane crash, a B-29 bomber burst
into flames near March Air Base,
but its 13-man crew parachuted to
safety.
An eyewitness to the PBM crash
said the plane, a two-engined
craft, plunged straight downward,
hitting the water with a terrific
splash.
“It was diving so fast, I thought
it was a jet plane,” said Donald
Hibbard, truck driver. He said he
was on a hill along the coast look~
ing out to sea at the time.
The Navy said the plane, at
tached to Fleet Air Wing 14, on a
routine training flight from the
San Diego Naval Air Station,
broke into pieces when it struck.
It did not burn, but soon sank,
Cause of the crash was not im
mediately determined.
Three officers and eight enlisted
men were aboard. Their names
were withheld by the Navy pend
ing notification of the next of
kin.
Four bodies were recovered.
Search for additional victims will
be continued today by Navy and
Coast Guard Air-Sea rescue craft.
Lieut. E. J. Sancholtz, the first
pilot of the flaming B-29, ordered
his crew out of the bomber when
a wing blazed up as the plane was
heading for a landing at March
Air Base near Riverside, Calif.
Sancholitz and the second pilot,
Lieut. E. H. Burgess, the last to
leave the big ship, landed near
the blazing wreckage. They were
only shaken up. The other 11
crew members were picked up by
forest rangers and ranchers. None
was injured seriously.

— The last seven cars of a 10-car
New York Central Express lurch
ed from the rails at 75 miles an
hour early today, but remained
upright. Only one person—a crew-=
man—was hurt.
The Easterner, bound from
Cleveland to New York, was halt

The cause was not determined

Eighth Army Ordered To Cease Shooting
Truman Vacai
Little Key Wes
itfie ey West
By ERNEST B. VACCARO
KEY WEST, Fla., Nov. 28 —
(AP) — Most Key West merch
ants expressed the hope today that
President Truman will stay here
until Christmas.
He’s money in the bank to them.
“The President’s visits have
given Key West a terrific shot in
the arm,” Secretary Harry Laub
sher of the Chamber of Commerce
told a reporter.
Others chimed in with the opin
jon that Mr. Truman is the big
gest business asset this town has
had since it lost its major cigar
business to Tampa and its major
sponge business to Tarpon Springs.
Mr. Truman dosen't expect to
stay here until Christmas, but
no one expects him to return to
Washinton before the middle of
December, Since he flew here
November 8, that would make his
tenth the longest of his visits here.
One shoe merchant observed:
Shoe Merchant
‘I don’t go for him politically,
but I have to put my politics aside
when I see what he does for busi
ness in this town.”
The Chamber of Commerce
Secretary said that since the Pres
ident first came here five years
ago, the building and construction
business has increased to the tune
of nearly a million dollars each
year and that the increase for
1951 will be far greater.
Sebastian Cabrera, who operates
the Caribe Restaurant, where Mr.
Truman dropped in unexpectedly
for a cup of coffee yesterday, said
the place where it now stands had
been a weed-grown lot since 1880.
“And, if it hadn’'t been tor that
man,” he added, ‘“this restaurant
wouldn’t be standing here.” Cab
rera got an autographed dollar bill
from the President, and he won’t
let his dishwasher touch the cup
from which Mr. Truman drank.
More Money
Everybody concedes that the big
Naval Base here means more mon
ey than the tourist business.
When the President flies into
Key West, reportc::s, mgio c(greisn-'
pondents 0 pher 71n
flock here from all parts of the
state to get a glimpse of the Chief
Executive, That means money for
the hotels, the shops and the bars.
“But the fact that the President
comes here keeps Key West in the
newspapers all around the country
and makes for better business all
the year round,” said J. D. Mc-
Andrews, manager of the La
Concha Hotel.
“Our business has increased
steadily ever since the President
made his first trip,” McAndrews
said, “he has put Key West on
the map.”

ATOMIC DEFENSE
Atomic Tests Prove Very Useful
In Military Development---Dean
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28—(AP)
Chairman Gordon Dean of the
Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)
said today the atomic weapons
tests conducted recently in Nevada
proved “very useful” in develop
ment of the nation’s military
might.
Dean’s guarded statement to re
porters was his first public com
ment on the latest series of tests,
which he indicated has not been
concluded. Six explosions have
been conducted, in the series
which started Oct. 22, ranging
from what was apparently a baby
A-bomb te mountain - shaking
weapons.
The commission chairman was
asked whether the tests so far had
been generally satisfactory and
whether they had advanced the
building of this country’s atomic
arsenal.
“ILet me put it this way,” Dean
replied. “I don't think there has
been anything in the Nevada
‘shots’~ (tests) that has ever dis
pleased us.”
Dean Reply
Asked then whether he meant
the commission was entirely satis
fied with the outcome of the tests,
Dean declared:

Red Negotiators Reject Allied
Terms For Police Of Armistic
.
Plan For Joint
-
Inspection
.
Teams Rejected
BY ROBERT B. TUCKMAN
MUNSAN, Korea, Nov. 28.—
(Ar)—Communigt truce negotia
tors flatly refused today to ban
military buildups in Korea during
an armistice or to set up joint in
spection teams to police the truce.
The Red stand led Vice Admiral
C. Turner Joy, chief negotiator for
the United Nations command, to
express suspicion the Reds might
be planning to resume fighting
after a temporary truce.
Joy told newsmen “the Com
munists came out in the open and
said they were completely opposed
to our principles” for inspection
teams and guarantees against mil
itary buildups.
“They brought up the question
of withdrawal of foreign troops,”
Joy reported. “They said that with
withdrawal of foreign troops” the
problem “would be settled.”
“You see what we are up
against,” the Admiral asked.
While truce negotiators bump
ed into this new stumbling block
at Panmunjom, fighting faded
away along the 145-mile provis
ional cease-fire line agreed upon
Tuesday.
Red Volley Ball
Chinese troops played volley
ball within sight of doughboys on
the central front. Allied patrols
were reported called off in the
west. Even the familiar thunder
of artillery faded to a whisper.
The quiet led the U. S. Eighth
Army to issue a formal warning:
“There is no cease-fire in Ko- |
rea. There is hope, but that hope |
must not be sabotaged by wishful |
thinking.” |
The air war flared savagely.
Three Red jets were shot down
and three damaged in air battles.
One U, S. Sabre jet was shot
down,
At Panmunjom truce negotia
tors spent most of Wednesday's
segsion arguing over Allied de
pangs that.e truce agreement pro
d ‘j."”.v"‘l" \tees that ‘milita; Sta-~
tis quo be maintained.
A U. N. command communique
said the Red ‘“unwillingness to
‘curtail a military buildup might
indicate that resumption of hos
tilities was being considered after
only a temporary cessation.”
“The Communists moved into
the open today,” the communique
said, “in their opposition to any
limitations on the size of military
forces in Korea during the mili
tary armristice and also to any
concept of joint inspection by both
sides to enforce such limitations.”
The communique said the Reds
insist “these questions are beyond
the scope of the (armistice) agen=-
da and that immediate withdrawal
of all foreign troops would solve
the probléem.”
Tentative Agreement
Truce negotiators reaclied ten
tative agreement on all other
points for making a cease-fire ef

then adjourned until 11 a. m.

Construction Peak
Dean told newsmen,” however,
that the construction peak proba
bly will. be reached by June. He
declined to answer questions as to
when the plant will be in opera
tion.
The committee report said labor
currently is costing $1,250,000 a
week at the South Carolina plant.
Maybank said Congress probably
will have to provide an additional
$200,000,000 to finance the overall
cost of construction through next
June. It already hase made avail
able $650,000,000.
The report described the H
bomb plant as “probably unprece
dented in magnitude, cost; speed of
construction and complexity.” It
added:
“The project is in capable and
experienced hands and the inter
ests of the government are being
constantly given paramount con
sideration.”
The committee’s session with the
Atomic Energy Commissioners
concluded two days of study of
defense production problems gen
erally, as well as a review of price
control matters.
Maybank said no further hear
ings are scheduled at this time.

Charter Amendment Is
Discussed By Danner
In the following statement, Walter N. Danner, member
of City Council from the Third Ward, discusses provisions
of the proposed amendment to the City Charter which
provides for the creation of the position of Tax Assessor
and Board of Appeals in place of the present Board of Tax
Assessors. The proposed amendment is to be voted on in
the City General Election to be held the first Wednesday
in December. St &
Mr. Danner’s statement follows:
~“Oneof the amendments being |
submitted to the voters of the City
of Athens at the General Election
on December § provides for the
creation of the position of Tax
Assessor and Board of Appeals in
lieu of the present Board of Tax
Assessors.
“A number of citizens have in
quired as to just what is the sig
nificance of this amendment and
why it is desirable.
“In the spring of 1948 the Mayor
and Council employed an Engi
neer, who had had experience in
evaluating structures and real es
tate. It took this individual slight
ly over a year (o nrake a complete
and detailed evaluation of every
piece of real estate in Athens, in
cluding all structures. The Board
of Tax Assessors reviewed his
data and an evaluation was placed
on every piece of property. This
brought about equalization in City
tax assessments on all real prop
erty. This Tax Evaluator is still
employed by the City and it is the
plan to retain such trained person
nel as Tax Assessor.
“¥ this amendment is approved
by the citizens, the Tax Assessor
will be an individual with good
training and experience in this
field and the Board of Appeals
will be the group to whom citi
zens may make any complaint re
garding their assessment, The Tax
Assessor will also be responsible
for reviewing and adjusting re
turns on all inventories. Under our
present system it is the responsi
bility of the Mayor and any two
Councilmen to review and adjust
returns on all inventories.
“A number of cities in Georgia
are having tax assessmrents made
by trained personnel and have a
Board of Appeals such as is pro
vided for in this amendment.
Realizing this need for trained
personnel, the University of Geor
gia began several years ago an an
nual short course for Tax Asses
sSOors.
“The Mayor and Council of the
City of Athens has been working
toward this end for the past few
years. There was not sufficient
time to get an amendment passed
by the Legislature in their ses
sion last January. Since that time
the citizens of Athens have voted
for ‘Home Rule’ which provides
that such charter amendments be
submitted to the people rather
than to the Legislature.
“By the passage of this amend
ment the present property evalua
