ISMAILIA
e
British Initiate
Probe Following
Shoofing Of Nun
By TOM STONE
ISMAILLA, Egypt, Jan . 21—
(AP)—British troops scoured the
Arab quarter of this blood-stained
guez Canal zone center today in
the wake of the slaying of a New
York-born nun, first American
casualty in the Suez fighting.
A private requiem mass Wwas
held here for the nun, 52-year-old
Roman Catholic Sister Anthony.
Born Brigitte Ann Timbers,
daughter of Samuel Timblers of
Peeksville, N. Y., she was killed
py a bullet in the heart as she
sfepped down from her convent
door Saturday to greet a British
tank detachment.
A British Army announcement
fast night said “it has been es
tablished” the nun was killed by
one of a group of Egyptian
«thugs” who invaded the convent
garden to throw bombs at the
British.
Other versions said no one saw
who shot the Nun. Egyptian au
thorities and Cairo newspapers
claimed that a British bullet killed
her. The papers accused the
Pritish of “attempting to rouse
Americans -against Egypt” by giv
ino a “false account” of the shoot
ting.
Dressed in her blue arkle-length
habit and starched white broad
brimmed hat, the Nun lay in state
in the convent of St. Vincent de
Paul. located on a main Ismailia
ireet near the centerof Saturday’s
fighting.’
Cleanup Ordered
The death of the nun brought
immediate orders from her close
personal friend here, Gen. Sir
George Erskine, British comman
der In the canal zone, for a
thorough cleanup of the Arab
quarter of Ismailia.
Erskine said the zone-—three!
quarters of a mile long and three
blocks deep—has been the op
erating center for Egyptians snip
ing at British troops here.
As big Centurion tanks blocked
the entrances to the quarter, Brit
ish Tommies early yesterday be
oan a fine-comb search of the
area. Forty-one suspected guer
rillas were arrested. Hundreds of
Feyptian families were driven out
of the srea and into another part
of the city. The section was two
thirds cleared yesterday and the
job was to Jbe completed today.
Firing broke out last night be
tween British and Egyptians on
the edge of Ismailia, headquarters
for British troops in Egypt and
the scene of frequent bjoodshed in
clasheg between Britain’s military
forces and Egyptians trying to
drive them out of the canal zone.
In Cairo the American erbassy
said ¥. S. Ambassador Jefferson
Caffrey had expressed ‘‘grave
concern” to Egypt over the slay
ing of Sister Anthony.
Probe Assured
The embassy said Egypt’s acting
foreign minister, Farag Pasha, had
assured Caffrey an “immediate in
vestigation” would be made.
Sister Anthony was killed dur
ine a four-hour battle between
British troops and Egyptian snip
ers around the convent. Two Brit
ish were killed and seven wound
ed, and about 20 Egyptians were
reported wounded.
Nuns said Egyptian snipers
threw a bomb into the yard of
the French convent of St. Vincent
de Paul and then, despite their
pleas, invaded the garden.
The convent mother superior
said there has been no actual eye
witness to the shooting and no
one could say for certain who fired
the fatal shot. But “Sister Anthony
was for the British and everybody
knew it,” she declared.
In Cairo, meanwhile, two high
school students were reported kill
ed and 19 police injured in two
separate clashes between students
and police yesterday. The city’'s
primary and secondary schools
were ordered closed until Jan. 26
because of the continued demon
strations by the violently anti-
British students urging the gov
ernment to drive the British out
of Egypt.

Pie Throwing Benefits

March Of Dimes Drive
BY MARCIA AARONS
Students of the University of Georgia and the people of
Athens are looking forward to the A. E. P.’s annual “Pie
Throwing Contest.” ;
Six years ago the A E P’s held
their first contest for the purpose
of raising funds for the March
of Dimes. The benefits derived
from each conte&lg‘ve been an
increase over the previous one.
The A E P’s have been recoms
mended for raising more funds for
the March of Dimes than any or
ganization of its kind.
The contest is held on the large’
porch of the A E P hourse. They
will have hundreds of pies which
are to be auctioned. The highest
bidder for each pie is presented
a pie, which he then throws at the
person of his choice. You can't
| imagine how much fun this is un
til you have actually seen it.
One never knows when he will
pick up a magazine and see a pic
ture of him or his friends. In
1950 LIFE magazine carried a two
page spread of pictures taken at
the contest. :
This year the A E P’s have chos
len a Queen. She is seven years
old Peggy Dobbs of 545 S. Mil
ledg Avenue Although Peggy
wears a brace, she doesn’t let
this keep her from having a good
time with all the children. All
the A E P's have been boosting
their “little Queen”, who has
twinkling brown eyes ‘and s al
ways laughing.
Peggy is going to throw the
first pie and she said that she
hopes lots of people will do the
same so that children and grown
ups who have polio can be helped.
The. A. E. P’s are holding the
«pie throwing contest” at their
home at 327 South Milledge this
Friday, January 25, from 2 until
6.
Get a crowd together and come
early for an afternoon filled with
laughter. Remember, the dimes
you contribute will bring happi
ness to others.

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORCIA OVER A CENTURY,
Brown Selected
Bar President -
“Rupert A. Brown, well known
Athens attorney, was elected pres
ident of the Western Bar Associa
tion at the annual meeting held
Friday night in the Georgian Ho
tel. The occasion was a smorgas
bord supper given by the retiring
president, Judge Henry H. West.
Jerry Fields, of Monroe, was
elected vice-president, and W. T.
Ray, Athens, remains in the office
of secretary, having been elected
permanently to that office several
years ago. Term of office for the
president and vice-president of
the association, which includes
Clarke, Oconee and Walton coun
ties, is for one year.
Mr. Brown is a graduate of the
University of Georgia Law School
in the class of 1916 and was ad
mitted to practice law the same
year, a profession he has engaged
in for thirty-five years.
Mr. Brown is married to the
former Miss Genevieve Barber and
they have two children, Miss Sue
Brown, who follows her father’s
profession and is a member of the
Georgia Bar Association and also
of the South Carolina Bar Asso
ciation, being connected with a
firm in Anderson, S. C. Their

“Epps Flying Family”
Set A World Recerd
A Dbrief news item on the As-‘
sociated Press wire out of Miami,
Fla., several days ago told of a
ten-year-old girl who had just
made her solo flight in an airplane
and said this was believed to be
the youngest person ever to fly
alone.
And while that claim may be
true, there’s no disputing the fact
that twenty-two years ago Athens
was the home of the youngest per
son in the world at that time to fly
alone. And that's a matter of
record.
The young pilot was Ben Epps,
jr., and he was thirteen years of
age. He was a son of the South’s
pioneer aviator who was killed in
a plane crash some years ago.
. Athens was also the hume of the
world’s most renowned flying
family, a record that still probably
holds good.
Pioneer Aviator
Mr. Epps, sr., was certainly the
first in Georgia to pilot a plane
and probably in the South as well
as being one of the earliest in the
pation. Unfortunately, the record
on this has been lost but Ben Epps,
sr., first flew about 1907.
~ He was also the head of the
“Epps Flylng Family.”
~ Back in the days when Ben, jr.
started flying, airplanes were &
lot different from what they are
today. Aviation had not made
L such forward strides as came later.
And Ben, jr., at 13 took part in
)tho Atlanta Air Show, 22 years
'ago. The planes he flew, inci
dentally, were built by hie father.
Ben now is a Captain( Pilot) for

ATHENS, GA., MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1952,
Senate Hearings
To Begin Today
By JOHN CHADWICK .
WASHINGTON, Jan. u-pm
Senate hearings on the Ja
Peace Treaty start today with
Secretary of State Acheson, Gen.
Omar N, Bradley and John i‘oflu
Dulles as the lead-off witnesses,
Also up for consideration at &
}aubuc hearing of the foreign re
ations committee were mutual se
curity agreements with Japan, the
g:fllipplnel. Australia and New
aland.
Leaders were confident of Sen
ate ratification, although some
Republican senators hoped to add
to the peace treaty reservations
they contend are necessary for
protection again any Soviet ag
gression. !
. President Truman sent the
treaty and the defense pact to the
Senate on Jan. 10 with a request
for early and favorable considera
tion. .
An accompanying letter by Sec
retary Acheson spoke of “The
to the maintenance of peace and
t othe maintenance of peace and
security in the Pacific.” A similar
note was struck by Dulles, Repub~
lican adviser to the State Depart
ment who played a leading part
in drafting the agreements.
Dulles Letter
A letter from Dulles to Acheson,
also sent to the Senate, said the
four treaties represented the tak
ing of “a major initiative” by the
United States and added:
“This initiative, if maintained,
can turn back the tide of Soviet
Communism which in recent
years has been relentlessly rising
in Asia and the Pacific.”
The peace treaty with Jair.m
was signed in San Francisco last
September Bby 49 nations. Rus
sia was not among them.
Chairman Connally (D.-Tex.) of
the Foreign Relations Committee
told reporters he does not expect
much difficulty in winning Senate
ratification of the treaty, although
he said there undoubtedly will be
“some talk.”
~ Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida
of Japan, in a letter to Dulles re
leased last week, gave assurances
that his government would recog
nize the Chinese Nationalist gov
ernment, and Senator Knowland
(R.-Calif.) said this “will remove
to a large extent certain objec
tions” which had been raised in
the Senate to ratification of she
peace freaty. ‘.
Knowland, a frequent eritic of
administration Asiatic policies,
said he saw no reason why the
treaty should not be promptly and
] overwhelmingly ratified.
Not Binding
Some Republican senators have
indicated, however, they will take
the position that Yoshida’s letter is
no binding commitment that Japan
will not recognize Communist
China in the future.
Senator Watkins (R.-Utah) in=
tends to offer a treaty reservation
that would deny Japan U. S. trade
advantages if she deals with either
Red China or Russia in strategic
materials.”
He also plans a reservation stat
ing that ratification of the treaty
should not be construed as affirm=-
ing the Yalta agreement handing
over to Russia the Southern Sak
halin Island and the strategic Ku=
riles northeast of Japan.
{ Under the treaty Japan re
nounces all right to these islands
but their disposition is left to the
future. They now are occupied by
Russia.
From some Republican senators,
unwilling to be identified, have
come hints they have received in
dications that the Joint Chiefs of
Staff are not wholly satisfied with
this situation from a security
viewpoint,
Mrs. Ben Epps, sr., while never
piloting a plane, was often a pas
senger and she clearly recalls
holding their son, Douglas, now
23 years old and a student at the
University here, on her lap while
her husband took them aloft.
Douglas then was 5 or 6 months
old, and he promptly went to sleep
an(}&dozed throughout the flight.
Dotiglas Friday was in Atlanta to
secure his commercial license,
Then there was Mrs. W. R.
Gault, now of New Orleans, the
former Miss Evelyn Epps. She
was also a flyer, as was her sis
ter, now Mrs. Harry W. Whittaker,
of Yakima, Washington.
Teaches Flying
Harry Epps, another son, is a
Lieutenant Commander in the ac
tive Naval Reserve, and is at pre
sent teaching navy pilots all
weather and night flying.
Another member of the “Flying
Family” is Lt. (j%) Charles Epps,
who is flying in the Regular
Navy.
There is one other active flyer
in the family. He is George Epps,
who was with Douglas Aircraft
Corporation in Los Angeles, Calif.,
for three years and is now with
Lockheed at Marietta, Ga., as an
aviation engineer.
That leaves two other members
of the family, a daughter, Rosa
mond Epps, & junior at Athens
High Schooi, who plans 0 be—
guess what? An airplane steward~
ess. And Pat, a son who is a gen=
ior at Athens High and who prob=
ably will follow aviation as a ea
reer.
Athens s noted for many
“firsts” in various lines but some~

Talmadge Strikes OQut
For His Elector Bill
ATLANTA, Jan. 21.— (AP) —As Governor Herman Tal
madge struck out vigorously today in support of his Presi
dential elector bill, the legislature moved toward its first
major test of the session on administration proposals.
Speaker Fred Hand announced that one of the key ad
ministration proposals—the toll road authority bill—will
be called up in the House tomorrow. -
Senator Grady Rawls of Albany,
administration floor leader, al
ready disclosed that Talmadge's
controversial Presidential elector
bill will be brought to the floor of
the Senate, _
Both proposals have stirred up
a mounting storm of controversy.
Talmadge and his legislative lead
ers previously have announced
that an effort to quiet opposition
to a toll road authority that it
would be limited to a single pro
ject, from Atlanta north on High
way 41.
The Governor, however, dis—‘
closed a no compromise attitude |
on the election bill. In the face of
loud outcries of the opposition, he
issued a prepared statement de
fending the bill as a weapon in
the South’s fight for larger politi
cal influence.
Schedule
The schedule to front action in
the two houses tomorrow will be
the first decisive test of adminis
trative strength in the adourned
session. Talmadge rammed his
property tax reduction proposal
through last week but its princi
pal opponent, Hand, had conceded
all along that he had little or no
hope of blocking it.
‘ The Senate today put the Legis~
lature on record as favoring a
’cu':b on treaty-making powers of
the President and the U. S. Sen
ale.
It adopted unanimously a reso
lution passed by the House last
week calling for a constitutional
amendment requiring the states to
ratify all treaties. The resolution
stated that the President and two
thirds of the Senate can now make
treaties which supersede the Con
stitutions of the various states.
Another memorial to Congress
quickly tied the House up in de
bate. It is a resolution asking

21—(AP)—Five crewmen of a B
-17 mercy plane yesterday survived
the crash of their ship on an
Olympic Peninsula peak and a 1,-
360 foot plunge down the snow

Tyler peak in a blinding snow=-
storm.
The ship bounded over the peak
and skidded through the snow
down to the 85,000-foot level.
Search planes located the wreck~
age Sunday.
Only two of the survivors re
quired hospitalization and they
had only cuts and bruises. They
were the pilot, Capt. Casimir F.
Hybki, 31, of Tacoma, Wash., and
the crew Chief Sgt. Carl E, Scar
gall, 22, Tillicum, Wash.
Hybki said the crash came just
five minutes after the crew had
obtained the last “fix” on their
position.
“The air was turbulent,” said the
pilot, “tossing the plane up 700
to 800 feet at times. A blinding
snowstorm prevented seeing the
mountain.
“There was a blinding flash—
we may have hit some trees first
—as the plane crashed.”
Hybki and Scargall were thrown
out together as the plane made
its wild plunge. Three men “rode
the wreckage all the way down.”
They were Sgt, Charles Hartke,
radio operator from Chicago; the
co-pilot, Capt. Kenneth Sentner of
Tacoma and Sgt. Edgar Farmer,
radar observer from Waynesboro,
Ga.
Farmer, who was In the waist
of the ship, said he was “bounced
all over the place.”
“We just smashed into ftrees,
hit the mountain and bounced
over,” said Farmer. “Then the
plane slid down the side of the
mountain about 1,000 feet, com
ing to rest in a box valley on the
side of the mountain.”
The plane caught fire after the
wreckage came to a stop. But the
men had time to roll out sleeping
I bags and emergency equipment.

BY CHARLES F. BARRETT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.— (AP) —President Truman
today sent Congress an $85,444,000,000 spending budset,
an unprecedented figure except in all-out war. He said it
was “a heavy burden . .. . the price of peace,”
To lawmakers talking loudly of economy in this election
year, the President outlined an 11 billion dollar expansion
in armed forces spending to more than 51 billien, including
a start on building the Air Force from 90 wings to 148.
He said his foreign aid program,
under especially heavy criticism,
“ig vital and indispensable ... in
the total fight for security and
peace.” Mr. Truman called for ex
panding total aid from $6,868,000,~
000 this year to $10,844,000,000
next fiscal year, with military aid
alone jumping from four to eight
billion.
His budget,” he said in his an
nual message, “is carefully plan
ned to carry us a long way for
ward on the road to security.” He
warned there is grimr evidence
“the Kremlin would not hesitate to
resort to war in order to gain its
ends.”
Mr. Truman said without new
taxes, his budget for the fiscal
year beginning July 1 would
plunge the government $14,446,-
000,000 further in the red.
Current Deficit
The deficit for the current fis
cal year was an estimated $8,201,~
A telegram to the Banner-
Herald today from Tenth Dis
trict Congressman Paul Brown
said that President Truman’s
budget recommendation includes
$4,000,000 to start construction
of the new Hartwell Dam on the
Savammah River. It also includes
$4,100,000 for Clarks Hill Dam
and $795,000 for operation and
maintenance of the Southeastern
Power Administration, located
in Elberton. Congressman
Brown, who has long worked
for the projects, sald the Hart
well Dam is one of only four
new projects recommended for
construction by the President.
000,000.
Then he repeated = call for
about $4,600,000,000 “at the very
least” in additional revenue — a
call that apparently fell on deaf
ears when He first urged more
taxes last Wednesday in his eco
nomic report to Congress.
This time the President didn’t
pitch his plea as strongly as he did
last week nor did he specifically
mention rate increases as he did in
his economic report. He empha
sized “loophole” plugging.
Mr. Truman tacked onto his
budget a reduced flock of “Fair
Deal” measures, including a Fair
Employment Practices Commis
sion—anathema to man Scuth
erners—expanded Socia{ Security
benefits and federal aid to schools.
He did not mention two contro
versial programs he plumped for
futilely in his last budget —the
‘Brannan plan of farm subsidies
and national health insurance.
Overall, national security pro
grams would take 76 cents out of
every dellar, the President said—
and non-defense spending would
be slashed one billion dollars un- l
der the current year.
He called for 600 million dollars
in appropriations for civilian de
fense, including construction of
bomb shelters, and said continued
’refusal by Congress to provide it
“could be a fatal gap in our secu
rity structure.”
Highlights
Other highlights were proposals
to add 7,000 agents to the scandal~
‘hit Bureau of Internal Revenue,
extend GI benefits to Korean war
veterans, increase funds for gov~
‘ernment-built defense housing
more than ten times, boost postal
rates by 500 million dollars, and
start the long-proposed St. Law
rence seaway as a “strategic ne
cessity.”
The President said without new
taxes the national debt would in
crease to $274,922,000,000 by June,
1953—just under the present legal
limit of 275 billion.
These huge red ink entries are
a matter of “grave concern,” he
said, and Congress ought to real
ize the risks involved. He said he
wag forced to abandon his goal of
“pay-as-you-go”’ for the defense
]program when Congress gave him
only a little more than half of the
10 billion in tax increases he
sought last year.
Next fiscal year’s spending esti
mate of $85,444,000,000 eompared
with a revised estimate of $70,-
881,000,000 for this year, ending
June 30, and $44,633,000,000 actu
ally spent last tiear. .
Spending in the new fiscal year
would be the third biggest in his
tory—twice the size of the first
postwar years, bigger than the
first full year of World War 11,
topped only by the two peak years
of that war when the federal flow
of dollars passed the 95 billion
mark i o fodso ey ok g
It would amount to $550 for

Bridge Bombing
Is Admitted By
Allied Command
By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN
MUSAN, Korea, Jan, 21—(AP)
The U. N. command said today
Allled jets without meaning to
may have attacked a Communist
truce convoy on the Kaesong-Py
ongyang highway Friday.
. At the same time, the Allies
' accused the Reds of violating the
agreement guaranteeing freedom
from attack to one northbound '
and one southbound convoy daily.
These developments came as
subcommittees working on a Ko~
rean armistice again reported ne
progress,
The U. N. acknowledged that
four planes bombed and strafed a
bridge and antlaircraft positions
near where the Reds said a plain
ly marked convoy of two trucks
and a jeep was hit,
Pilots who took part in the at
tack said they sighad no vehicles
in the area, reported Marine Col.
James C. Murray, U. N. staff offi
cer who investigated.
Murray added that if the con
voy were stopped or parked in
shadows it might have escaped ob
servation.
Red Violation
He declared that if a Red truce
convoy were in the attack zone, it
apparently was in violation of the
agreement permitting a limited
number of vehicles to travel be
tween the North Korean capital,
Pyongyang, and Communist truce
headquarters at Kaesong. - b
A properly marked southbound
convoy of one jeep and one truck
was nighted in the area three
hours before the attack began,
Murray said.
“Indiscriminate use of the au
thorized marking on wvehicles us
ing this main supply route or
straggling of vehicles In convoy
will in great measure nulify our
efforts to spare the vehicle serv
ing your delegation from attack,”
Murray added.
During a fruitless two-hour sub
committee session on prisoner ex
change the Communists again ac
cused the Allles of scheming to
deliver prisoners of war to South
Korea and Nationalist China by
insisting on voluntax; repatriation.
