By TOM BROWN
As the time draws nearer to
opening night for the University
Theater's production of George
Bernard Shaw’s, “Pygmalion,” Die
rector James Andrews expressec
confidence that the eomedy w’
he one of the mest successful y
ductions of the season. R
“PYsml“llM"I one of ;gc? i
most popular plays, was p 8 A

“pPygmalion” will open .uesday
night,fiwnhr 4, to run for three
consecutive nights, Miss Gay
Dangerfield, artist-in-residence in
the drama department, will star
in the role of “Liza Doolittle,” a
role indtially g:nu'formed by Mrs.
patrick Camp! in the London
pe-formance of the comedy in
1914, !
Since Me first performance,
critics have heralded the eomedy
through the years. In 1045,
when Gertrude Lawrence and
Raymond Massey played the
leading roles at the Ethel Barry
more Theater in New York, the
saturday Review of Literature
nublished a eoclumn by John Mason
Brown in which he stated, *. . .
The comedy (Pygmalion) holds
its ample rewards; chief among
these is the exciting fact that, as
so seldom happens nowadays, one
is forced to feel in, and behind its
dialogue the driving strength of a
superior mind.” “ . ~ His writing
(Shaw’s) like his thinking, is
nothing if not individual, which in
his case means exceptional. He
has been the foremost literary
athlete of our time.
University Theater rehearsals

Gus Mann, of Cairo, a veteran
performer in the University Thea
ter, will play the role of Henry

Georgia's Ist Woman Ballot Box
Uolder - - Mrs. William J. Russell
By RUBY LESTER DAVIS §
The npolitical life of Georgia
¢own through the years, has been
ereatly influenced by the men in
t well-known Russell family,
but there is one woman of this
fomily who, also, has contributed
larzely in services to Georgia
politics, in so far as the actual
elections are concerned.
She is Mrs. William John Rus
sell of Athenes, and shares honors
with her kinsmen in that, she is
the first woman ever to serve as
an official at an election ballot
box in Georgia.
It came about this way. In No
vember of 1920, after the Amend
ment giving women the right to
vote in Georgia, had been ratified
in August of that same year, a
Gemocratie election for City Coun=
cil was held in Athens. Much to
her surprise, Mrs. Russell was
named one of the managers for
the ballot box in the second ward,
and the only woman called to
serve out of the four wards which
comprised Athens’ voting area at
that time, (There are five wards
now),
Scared To Death
To Mrs. Russell's own
Words 2'. was simply “scared to
death” gt the W ‘of proce
dure, gwm’r, politics was by
1o means a subject to her. As
& sehool m Jasper, Georgia,
ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Assoclated Press Service
“Some citizens have called me
to say they have been led to be
lieve that if the amendment is
approved in Wednesday's City
General Election, a new job will
be created in the post of Tax As
~sessor and that three new jobs
| :;fll ';llo b‘: croalstod by the Board
| ax als,” Ma
bt ppe. yor Wells
“Nothing could be further from
the truth," Mayor Wells asserted.
“The city now employs, and has
done so for three years, a tax
evaluation expert. The post of
T'ax Assessor will simply take the
p’~ce of the tax evaluation posi
. 'wd at no increase in cost.
g 53‘9' ow have employed a Board
{,\ . ax Assessors of three persons,
> @ Board of Tax Appeals will
««mply take the place of the pres
ent board, and at no increase in
cost to the city,” Mayor Wells
added,
i Review Authority
Under the present charter the
Mayor and any two members of
City. Council, together with the
clerk of Council, hold the author
ity to review any and all tax ve
turns on perso_naf property. If any
tax return is deemed by this group
to be incorrect, the Mayor and the
two councilmen, with the clerk,
have the power to revise or in
crease that return. This act was
approved in 1872 and has never
been repealed,
“Under the proposed amend
ment the Mayor and members of
Council are completely divorced
from such authority. Many cities
of the size of Athens have dis
carded the outmoded system still
in effect here to provide a system
whereby there exists no ehance
for political reprisals, if such in
clination existed; there could be
no dictatorial control in the mat
ter of taxation, and any oppor
tunity for graft would be elinri
‘nated,” Mayor Wells said.
“This, however, is only one of
the five amendments the citizens
will vote upon Wednesday,” the
Mayor continued.
“One amendment provides the
absentee ballot, which we do not
now have, Under the present con
ditions a qualified voter, if he“
happens to be out of town on
election day, is deprived of the
privilege of expressing his prefer
ence for the men who will repre
sent him in public office. He is
thus unjustly and unnéecessarily
penalized in being denied his
rights of suffrage through no |
fault of his own. The proposed
amendment would remedy such an |
undesirable situation. I |
Recorder Election |
“Another amendment provides
for the election of the City Recor
der at the same time that menrbers
of the Council and the Mayor are
selected. It eliminates the Recor
der being elected in an ‘off year’
when the vote is small, and places
his election at the time when the
largest vote is polled, thus giving!
a more representative expression
by the voters. It also eliminates
what has seemed to many to be
an additional, and unnecessary
election being held with conse
quent additional expense.
“Still another amendment pro
vides that the City Attorney be
chosen by the Mayor and Council.
Though this post carries the title
of City Attorney, the City Attor
eny in truth is the legal represen
tative of the Mayor and Council.
Just as every private citizens en
joys the right to select the attor
ney to represent them, so it is felt
the Mayor and Council have the
right to select the attorney who
will represent them. I mright add
that this amendment was drawn
on the recommendation of the
present occupant of the office of
City Attorney, James Barrow.
Voting Hours
“The other amendment provides
for a change in the hours of vot
ing from the present ones of from
9 a. m. to 4 p. m. to a longer vot

she took quite a lively interest in
politics and with classmates would
argue over the good and bad qual
ities of candidates of that locality
and the State at large. Then, after
electicns, no dyed-in-the-wool
politician ever rejoiced more than
did the girls whose candidates
won. All of this youthful interest
deepened as through the years she
watched the struggle of those who
fought, bled and died, so to speak,
on the battle grounds of bringing
about suffrage.
So having accepted the respons
ibility to serve on this great oc
casion, Mrs. Russell, rather un
willingly, left her young child in
the care of a competent nurse and
set forth to the City Hall The
entire day proved a most interest
ing experience, watching voters
cast their ballots, then after the
polls closed came the job of open=
ing the ballot box, counting and
tallying the votes. In this first
such task, she felt the great re=
sponsibiliy, and seldom since that
day has there been a City election
heid in Athens, in which she did
not cast her vote, or render her
capable and efficient management
of the second ward ballot box. in
all these years of serving as a
mameg,, never once hz there
been a contest, or an’ inquiry as to
the correctness and accurateness
of her duties performed. Strict ad

SERVING ATHENS ANP NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER A CENTURY,
ATHENS, CA., SUNDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1951,
BY MERRITT POUND, JR.
Banner-Herald Sports Editor
GRANT FIELD, ATLANTA, Ga., -Dec. 1. — Georgia
Tech’s Orange Bowl-bound Engineers could do no wrong
today in their seventh home footballi appearance of the
year, and ended their first undefeated season since 1928,
beating Georgia’s fighting but hard-luck Bulldogs, 48 to 6,
before 40,000 screaming fans.
Tech with Darreil Crawfores
George Maloof, Leon Hardeman,l
and Lady Luck leading the way, |
took full advantage of five Bull
dog fumbles and eight intercepted
passes to score more often on the |
Bulldogs than a Tech team hasl
ever done excluding the war year,
1943.
Three Scores
The Inspired Jackets scored
three times after recovering Geor
gia fumbles deep in Bulldog terri
tory, once as the result of an in
tercepted pass, and once on a 65~
yard pass interception run-back.
Their second toqcidq vn was the
_only one scored not ix-‘ t%m
Georgia miscue. Leon Hardeman,
diminutive Engineer halfback,
reeled off the second Tech six
pointer on a 35-yard bull-dozing
play. i
A factor in the Tech victory pa- |
rade was the pin-point accuracy|
of sophomore Dave Davis’ boom
ing punts. Twice the Jacket kick=
ing specialist punted dead within
the Georgia two-yard line.
Georgia’s main consolation in
the game was that the Bulldogs’
great sophomore passer, Zeke
Bratkowski, broke an SEC record
of average offense per game. The
Brat also surpassed Frankie Sink
wich’s all-time Georgia passing !
record set in 1942. i
Zeke tossed 35 times, mostly in
the second half, and completed 17
for 195 yards. Harry Babcock, his
leading receiver, proved worthy of
the All-SEC honor, snaigr{ling pass
after pass on seemingly impossible
catches.
Ends Gene White and Art De
Carlo were glue-fingered in the
second half and aided the Brat
considerably in his SEC record
break.
Lone Tally
Georgia’s lone tally came in the
third quarter. Tech sported a 34
to 0 half-time lead on three quick
first quarter touchdowns. Dick
Raber, however, put Georgia in
to the second half seoring column
first, going off tackle after a Brat
to Bab aerial had set the Bulldogs
close.
The Bulldogs won the toss and
elected to receive. On the second
play from scrimmage a Bulldog
fumble was pounced upon at the

Clark Released
In Girl's Death
ATLANTA, Dec. 1 — (AP) —
A farewell letter from Martha
Nell Dinsmore was released today
as police freed her 43-year-old,
twice-married lover of suspicion
of slaying her.
William Edwin Clark, her for
mer English professor, was held
for 30 hours after the pretty 19-
year-old girl was found dead on
a sidewalk near his car, a pistol
bullet through the heart.
Written in pencil in a childish
scrawl, the letter further support
ed police opinion that she killed
herself, ag Clark maintained from
the first.
It was addressed to Clark and
his present wife and declared:
“I love you both.”
The distraught girl asked for
giveness for “what I am doing”
and, addressing Clark directly,
said:
“You have a woman, a ireat
woman who loves you. Go back
to her and try to wipe away the
bitterness.”
To Mrs. Clark, she said:
“Forgive me for things I have
done, forgive me for taking an easy
way out and leaving you both.
I love you both but I guess I love
myself more.”
UN Trucemen
To Red Air
BY WILLIAM JORDEN
MUNSAN, Korea, Sunday, Dec. 2.—(AP)—Allied ob
jection to any Red buildup of air power during an armis
tice added today to the differences which truce negotia
tors carried back to the conference tent at Panmunjom.
The sixth attempt by the truce teams at an agreement
on supervision of an armistice was scheduled to open at 11
a. m. (9 p. m,, EST, Saturday). o
Saturday’s talk was heated but
the shooting blew cold. Across the
wintry 145-mile Korean front,
there were a few patrol clashes,
but the bulk of the soldiers hud
dled in their foxholes.
The air war went on. In two
sky fights, two Red MIG jets were
Teported shot down and three
damaged.
At Panmunjonr Saturday, Vice
Admiral C. Turner Joy, chief
Allied negotiator, told the Reds
the United Nations command in
sisted that neither side should
repair old airfields or build new
ones during an armistice.
Red Objection
That drew an immediate objec
tion from North Korean Lt. Gen
eral Nam 11. He said it would “de
prive our side forever of the right
to defend ourselves.”
The Reds for weeks past have
been feverishly trying to complete
several airfields in North Korea
under steady attack by Allied
bombers.
There were numerous other dif
ferences at Panmunjom. Towering
high among them was continued
Red objection to Allied insistence
on inspection teams behind both
lines to supervise an armistice.
“The observation principle has
run on the rocks,” Admiral Joy
told Allied newsmen.
A Red demand that the Allies
withdraw from islands off North
Korea’s coasts produced another
wrangle.
The Allies guickly pointed out
that this was a reversal of the
Communist position. The Allies
once had tried to use these same
islands as a trading point in agree
ment on a cease-fire line.
The offer was to get off the is
lands if the Reds would give up
Kaesong, the only town-of im
portance they hold south of par
allel 38. The Reds said no and
called the islands militarily worth
less. ;
Admiral Joy told the Reds Sat
urday, “the U. N. C. intends to re
tain these islands for the dura
tion of the military armristice.
There is no sound reason which
can be advanced why we should
not retain the islands we now
hold.”
That was the way the argumen
tative session went throughout
Saturday.
Afterwards, the Allied press
spokesman, Air Force Brigadier
General William P. Nuckols, said
Admiral Joy made some points
“crystal clear,” but Nuckols re
fused to say the Red had been
handed any “take it or leave it”
proposition.
“I am not in a position to say
this is the nature of an ultima
tum,” General Nuckols said.
Firm UN Policy
“The firm policy of the United
Nations command is not to fore
cast future actions.”
Signs of mounting Red air
power have been noted with con
cern by the Allies recently in
Korea.
Saturday Admiral Joy said on
this:
“After painstaking and sincere
consideration of all types of mili
tary facilities and installations, the
full rehabilitation or construction
of which may endanger the secu
rity of the other side, the United
‘%oflgram under the direction of Byron
arner, of the University Music Depart
ment, has been prepared for the services.
The public is cordially invited to attend.
® ® .
Read Daily by 35,000 People In Athens Trade Ares
Nations command delegatipn con
cludes that air fields are the only
type requiring restriction.”
General Nam Il said in reply:
“In the past, the wanton bomb=-
ing and bombardment by your
side of the peaceful cities and
towns and villages of our side pro=
duced such serious consequences
that it is even more necessary to
increase our anti-air raid facili
ties, including the construction
and improvement of our air
fields.”
The Wrangling negotiators have

Top 3th Of U. S.
Citizens Ges
Half The Money
. WASHINGTON, Dee. 1 —(AP)
— The top fifth of the United
States population gets nearly half
of he nation’s money income with
the bottom fifth gets only 8 per
cent, the census bureau reported
today.
This was disclosed by a prel
iminary analysis of information
gathered in the 1950 census. Fami
lies and “unrelated individuals”,
that is individualg not forming
part of families, were asked what
money income they had in 1949.
f Income Distribution
~ The distribution of income
among them was as follows:
Highest fifth—47 per ecent. ‘
Second highest fifth — 24 per
cent.
Third fifth — 17 per cent.
Fourth fifth — 8 per cent.
Poorest fifth — 3 per cent.
The release did not go into the
fact that a much bigger percentage
of the big incomes is taken in in
come taxes than is the case with
small incom®®. It did note that the
analysis does not take account of
money income. many farmers,
for example, have substantial in=-
come in formg other than cash.
The census buerau said:
“Incomes are somewhat more
unequally distributed in the South
than in the other regions. in the
Northeast, West and North Cen=-
tral Regions the wealthiest 20 ger
cent received between 45 and 47
percent of the income, whereas
the upper fifth in the South re
ceived about 50 percent. |
“The greater disparity of in
comes in the South may be at
tributed in part to the fact that
this region cantains a much larger
proportion of farm residents who
usually receive a part of their in
come in the form of goods poduced
and consumed on the farm rather
than in cash.
Southern Picture
“Also important may be the fact
that the South contained about
three-fifths of the nonwhite fami
lies and unrelated individuals, who
are concentrated in the lower in
come groups. The distribution of
aggregate money income among
Southern white nonfarm residents
was about the same as the distri=-
bution among all nonfarm groups
in the other regions.
“There was a greater variation
in the distribution of income
among the 10 largest states than
among regions. Although the share
of the income received by the
poores 20 percent varied little
from one state to another (zbout
3 percent), the share received by
the highest fifth-ranged from 44
percent in Massachusetts, Michi
gan, and Ohiq‘qt'o 49 percent in
Missouri, New “¥York, and Texas.

Mr. Glass said Saturday.
These firms will ship metal
to steel mills designated by the
National Production Authority of
the Department of Commerce, the
federal agency seeking millions
of tong of scrap for the nation’s
defense program,
“With supplies of heavy indus
trial iron and steel scrap danger
ously low, the nation-wide appeal
is aimed primarily at the collection
of random heavy scrap and the
writing off of idle, obsolete mach~
inery and equipment,” Mr. Glass
explained. “We can do out part
in this national emergency and
at the same time assist our own
Community Chest in Athens by

Friday night John Henry, the

for the stew is. i .
The janitor was working in the
basement of City Hall and says Be

somebody is staring intently at us.
He turned and there sat a rab
