Writers Discouraged “War correspondents in Tokyo who sought to establish the fact were officially discouraged by headquarters from writing about it,” Walker declares. “A correspondent for this paper (The Monitor) pointed out at one briefing that he personally had spoken to Chinese prisoners in their own language, and they had told him of their recent entry into Korea. He was informed that ‘he must be mistaken,’” The Monitor story follows close ly behind the article written by Gen. Willoughby in Cosmopolitan Magazine in which correspondents were charged with “bias” and “in accurate reporting.” Walker explains that the Wil loughby story brought the Yalu river events into the news again although war correspondents had been reluctant to publish “details of the disastrous push to the Yalu” The reluctance, he says, was based on the fear something “might detract from the almost unbelievable heroism:eof field of (Continued On Page Two) MR.

Escape of the greying red-haired killer set off a great search through the city. Bloodhounds failed to pick up her trail. In 1931, Mrs. Judd shot two girl friends to death and shipped their dismembered bodies to Los Ange les in a trunk and a suitcase. She was convicted of murder and was sentenced to hang. At almost the last moment she was found insane and was committed to the asylum here. Now 48, Mrs. Judd has been in the hospital 18 years. Just before her escape about 10:30 p. m. she had been visiting in the room of her 84-year-old mother, Mrs. Carrie B. McKinnell, also a patient in the- hospital. Earlier Mrs. Judd had attended a western movie shown for the in mates. Hospital attendants told the sheriff’s office that Mrs. Judd broke a screen to let down the makeshift ladder. Big Task ' Hospital attendants said it mrust have taken her weeks to weave the ladder of yarn, rags and part of a heavy ironing cord. They said she used a screw driver and pliers to open the heavy window screen, and that they must have been smuggled to her. Mrs. Judd tied the ladder to the head of her mother's bed in a room adjoining hér own.

If the | favored Tech team wins, they will | have their first conference cham | pionship in seven years, but if the |Bulldogs are the victors, the Ten nessee Vols will be the champs if they beat Vanderbilt. Marking the fifth time in recent . years that one of the two teams ‘lhas gone into the fray with an undefeated eleven, the Jackets’ i record is only smeared by a 14-14 | dealock with Duke, “Mud Bow!” Win In 1927, the Bulldogs, sporting nine straight conquests, went into the game the favorites and with the hope of getting a bid from the Tournament of Roses. But “Mud Bowl” quenched the Georgia quest for a Rose Bowl invite by 12 to 0, and you couldn’t hardly see the scoreboard through the hard-driv ing rains. Tech’s glory as an undefeated team came in 1928 when the Jack ets entered the tilt with the in dentical record that the Bulldogs possessed the year previous. And a Rose Bowl bid was probable in the light of a Tech victory. Tech completed its first undefeated sea son and went to the Rose festival after beating the Bulldogs, 20-6.

Easily it could have been that both squad were undefeated in ‘42, but the inspired Auburn Tigers had upset the Bill dogs a week earlier. Sinkdich and Company howeyer were not to be denied and the Bulldogs went to the Rose Bowl after lasting Tech, 34-0. Turn about is fair play. In 1946, the undefeated and un tied Georgia Sugar Bowl champs, led by the fabolous Charley Trip pi, trounced the once-beaten Dodd coached team, 35-7. This year, Tech, already in the Orange Bowl, will try to capture a win over the Bulldogs which will give them the SEC title over the nation’s number one gridiron pow er, Tennessee. Tennesee and Tech are both unbeaten in loop com=- petition, but Tech has played one more conference battle than the Vols. Best Physical Shape Georgia, is its best physical shape of the season, should be in top form for the touted battle. Tech, with only a warmup against Davison on last weeks' bill should be up for the encounter, also. Coach Butts will start a defen sive unit, probably better than any Tech has faced all season, and an offensive platoon that isl ready to cope with the vaunted Crawford, Hardeman, etc. At defensive ends will be Dex ter Poss, 203, and Robert West, 192, both juniors and two of the‘ best flankmen in the conference. Defensive tackles will be All- Southern and Bulldog alternate captain, Marion Campbell, 232 and | Jeff Burgamy, 214, who played! such an outstanding game against Auburn. Rocco Principe, who re turned to the Bulldog lineup in the Auburn tilt after being out with injuries since the Mississippi State game, will open at defensive guard along with Ed Greenway, Athens’ gift to the Bulldogs. Principle tips the scales at 205 while Greenway weighs 207. At the linebacking positions will be Randolph Rags dale and Hurley Jones. Defensive sidebacks will be Red Hill and Captain Claude Hipps, recently voted as the best defensive back in the conference by SEC coaches.

Defensive Tackle Many Arrested For Marijuana Sales In Texas WICHITA FALLS,* Txe., Nov. 30 ———(AP) — A Grand Jury, shock ed at revelations of marijuana sales in Wichita Falls schools, had this advice for parents today: Keep your childxf& at home. Find entertainment and recreation for them there. Chaperone their gatherings. Limit the amount of money given your children. Limit the use for pleasure rur poses of the family automobile. Know where your children are and “not just think you know where they are.” With that advice, the jury yes terday indicted 10 perniu on 21 counts in connection with Mari= juana ~sales in Wichita Falls Schools. % Eight of those indicted are adults. The other two, although adults by legal definition, =re igh school students. k. 15 Nabbed In all, 15 persons have been arrested. The other five are ex pected to be indicted in other cities. Dist. Atty. Alan Haley estimates that 25 high school students were involved in possession of sale |of the drug. Another seven to 10 junior high school students—in the 13-14 age bracket—may have been touched by the ring. Investigation _in junjor high schools is continu ing. The grand jury yesterday also advised hiring of an officer for the schools “to police the school pro perties vested with authority to investigate cases of delinquency ‘and absenteeism among school children and maintain close watch over public places where students congregate.” | Suggestion Approved ‘ School and civic authorities nodded approval of the suggestion, The school board will meet short ly to take action. The juvenile students should be turned over to juvenile authori ties, the grand jury said. It urged that students implicated be “re= habilitated and supervised so they may not become more addicted to the use of this deadly drug.” The Marinuana ring was un—, covered recently by a young Nar=- cottics agent who enrolled in the high school. Within two weeks he had purchased about $20,000 worth of Marijuana with marked money. Authorities refused to identify | him. Bond of SIO,OOO was set yester day on each count in the indict ment except in the case of the two high school students, whose bondl was set at $5,000 on each of thel two counts against each student. Russians Will Enter Disarmament Parley By STANLEY JOHNSON PARIS, Nov. 30—(AP)—Russia agreed today to join secret big four disarmament talks. The western big three said this was an encouraging sign but added it would be a tough job to make any real progress, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky told the U. N. General Assembly’s Political Committee of his country’s decision to take part in the talks proposed by Pakistan, Irag and Syria. U. S. Delegate Philip C. Jestup said this was a hopeful develop ment, but commented that the belligerent tone of Vishinsky’s ac ceptance speech indicated the task ahead would be difficult, Similar views were expressed by spokes men for France and Britain. The western powers had al ready agreed to the talks in an effort to resolve rival east-west plans for disarming. Luis Padilla Nervo of Mexico, General Assembly president, will preside at the four-power meet ings which are expected to begin shortly, Red Acceptance Vishinsky prefaced his accep tance with a blistering attack on previous speeches by Jessup and others and a castigation of the western digarmanient plan. “We are ready .. . to continue our efforts and take part in the Allies Refuse To Discuss Early Troops Withdrawal ) . Ten Commie Jets Said Shot D 'B U. N. A BY JOHN RANDOLPH SEOUL, Korea, Nov. 30.—(AP) ~ln the greatest air victory of the Korean war American jet pilots today reported they shot down ten Communist planes, damaged four and probably destroyed another. ~ Nine of the destroyed planeg were bombers, the first to venture en masse across the Yalu river inte MIG valley. * The Fitch Ailr Force said no Allied planes were lost. Thirty-one American SBabre jets pounded on the flight of 30 Red bombers and their escort of 16 MIG-15 jets. The Sabres streaked ‘through the lumbering bombers, swooped up and cut the escorting flight of Red jets in half, then raced down onto the bombers. The Sabres did it all in one long deadly curve that sent nine bomb ers and one MIG tumbling down toward the mouth of the Yalu river. Three other bombers were re ported damaged. All were Rus sian-type prog%lor-driven planes; twin-engine -28 bombers and single engine LLA-9S fighter-bomb ers. The Red formation had just crossed the Yalu river boundary fromr Manchuria, apparently on a training flight. S - The 30-minute battle was the fourth air fight of the day and the ‘biggest of any type—jet or propel ler planes——l?c')ught in the Korean war. The earlier flights accounted for the probable and the fourth damaged Red plane. - The four day air battle total mounted to 18 Red jet planes re ‘ported destroyed, one probably destroyed and 18 damaged, against one U. S. plane shot down and ‘three damaged. _ Earlier the Fifth Air Force had 'studied films of Wednesday's fight and found one more MIG-15 was shot down than American pilots had reported. Friday's great battle climaxed a week of increasing Red jet flights into North Korea and an astound ing jump in Communist highway traffic ot the front lines. Long convoys of Red trucks were spotted last night racing to ward the quiet forward lines with their lights blazing. Flare-dropping Allied planes counted at least 9,200 of them, Far East Air Forces (FEAF) reported Friday. The figure is nearly dou ble the previous high of 5,150, and a Fifth Air Force re-count indicated it may be incommplete. No one guessed at how many more Red trucks might have passed on the roads without being spotted. Two thousand trucks are spotted on an average heavy night. 20 gonne h‘y j / Wd“*}f}lwwuu p— | ‘!Mw"l! e I i l»!] it | Sab () .\W‘;giﬁ;;féE?;;l:’!1&?%!!'!!:{;?;:1 O 9 gl 'mei ~s' g -‘- ": » l.‘;' 1 Wﬂ! y{ > gl ’ .J .

Other nations in the 60-member committee had waited two days for the Kremlin’s decision, “The Soviet delegation: is con vinced that its amendments (to the western three-power plan) would facilitate and assure solu tion of the task before us,” Vishin sky added. Spokesmen for the western big three aiready have cenounced these amemdments ag an attempt to cut the heart out of the plan and twist it into a renewed ver sion of old Russian proposals. It thus appeared likely that the talks would end in deadlock and the whole problem be thrown back to the fuil committee, Talks Suspended Agreement by the big four to try secret diplomacy, instead- of the spotlight of the assembly ros trum, means that the political committee will suspend its dis-~ armament discussion for a week or ten days to await results.

TUCKMAN MUNSAN, Korea, Nov, 30.— (AP)—Allied truce nego tiators today flatly refused even to discuss the withdrawal of troops from Korea until an armistice is signed. They also made it clear the U. N. command will not mod ify its demand for (1) joint inspection teams behind the battle lines and (2) anironclad ban on strengthening front Hne-tYnope, - v “We are going to insist upon those principles,” Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief U. N, negotia tor, told the Reds. “We are not go~ ing to agree to immediate with= drawal of U. N, command forces from Korea. Is that clear? The sooner it is clear, the sooner we will begin to make profitable use of the time of this conference.” Replying to Joy’s 30-minute cpening statement at Panmunjom, North Korean Lt. Gen. Nam Il re peatediy called the Allied propos als “unreasonable and Impracti cal.” He said joint inspection teams would be “brazen interference with the internal affairs of the otHer side.” Joy Reply Joy replied sharply: “Only the side objecting to such joint observation can have any ulterior motive.” Nam Il charged the Allies “no buildup” proposal was an attempt to prevent the economic rehabili tation of Korea. Even as Red negotiators fought to block Allied efforts to limit the strength of both armies, U. N. planes spotted a record 89,200 trucks rushing men and equip ment toward the Communist’ front lines, An official U. N. spokesman, Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, said there was no mention at Fri day’'s session of the comparative quiet which has settled over the battlefield A . The U. N. command communi m:«-lbed the session in terms tly used during the long deadlock over fixing the cease fire line: “No progress.” Negotiators meet again at Pan munjom Saturday at 11 a. m. (9 p. m. EST Friday). Both sides have presented their plans for supervising and enforc ing the armistice—item three on the agenda. They are similar ex ¢ept for the U. N. demand for guarantees to prevent a Red buildup. The Red proposal made no men tion of inspection teams nor did it set up a barrier to increasing forces during an armistice. Joy said the U. N. command agrees in general with the Com munist principles, but they were not broad enough. b He also took exception to a Red proposal for withdrawing troops from islands off the North Ko rean coast. Joy said the Allieg in tend to stay there until the Ko rean problem is settled. Allied Proposal Joy reported the Allies proposed joint aerial observation during the armistice in addition to ground teams, “Of course, the commies dis agreed emphatically,” he said. “Impasse number two.” Outside the conference tent, Communist correspondents began talking Friday of a ‘“speedy arm istice.” The Red newsmen have no official standing, but their views frequently are a tip on of ficial Communist thinking. They suggested that a “simple” solution to the problem of super vising the armistice would be a supervisory commission to police only the buffer zone area. They said it would be impossible to set up the inspection team ma chinery envisioned in the U. N. proposal. Negotiators have only 27 more days to settle armistice teams if the cease-fire line already agreed upon is to become effective. Oth erwise, the line will be redrawn just before the armistice is signed to include changes resulting from battle action. ATHENS AND VICINITY Fair and warm teday, tonight and tomorrow.

Just as he read the head line, he said, a shell burst 100 yards from him on one side and another on the other side. Fake Story ; That story, he said, was put out by Roy Howard, then writing for the United Press, and it was a fake. He went on to say that an As sociated Press story out of Seoul yesterday, saying that on orders from the highest source, possibly the White House, ground fighting had been brought to a complete, if temporary halt, was on a parallel with it. Mr. Truman said he understood the AP story came out because of intense competition for news, Federal Agenfs Seize "'Slots” ATLANTA, Nov. 30 — (AP)— A federal crackdown on unregist=- ered gambling equipment in Geor gia yesterday brought 16 arrests and geizure in 25 cities of 1,651 slot machines valued at $615,205. The 16 arrested were charged with failing to register and to file inventories of sales as dealers in gambling dewsices. This is reciuired by a recently enacted federal law. - In addition to the 13 arrests announced yesterday by Agents Joseph J, Casper at Atlanta and Alvin C. Schlenker at Savannah, FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover said three were taken into custody last night. Hoover said they were George O. Young, 60, operator of a tourist court at Midway; Alfred Freid man, 50, of Atlanta, brother of Jack Firedman, previously arrest ed, and Milton Braun of Savannah, former professional boxer, who had a slot machine agency and did repair work. Among the first group taken into custody was Roscoe Denmark, 55, of Libertly county, Senator elect of the Second Georgia Sena- | torial District. Denmark was des cribed as having eonsiderable busi ness interest in oil and real estate in Liberty County and at Savan nah. He is a former member of the Georgia Game and Fish Commis sion. | Like most of the others, Den mark was released under $2,500 bond.

He declared that its principles and their resultants should be taught in the schoels in order to acquaint the nation’s youth with the true facts concern ing Communism. “The truth is sometimes so fab ulous that it isn’t necessary to tell a lie,” the speaker continued. “Such is our case. If we could just spread the truth about our system as a whole and our way of life, we wouldn't have to werry about the left.” Speaking in his usual witty and often biting manner, newsman Tarver, while presenting a sericus topic, achieved the unusual in sd dressing his audience—he emter tained as well as disseminated in~ formation. v Mr. Tarver Mr. Tarver, well-known for his syndicated column, has beem im newspaper work in Georgia for a number of years.
