-Day Limit det
: BY WILLIAM JORDEN
MUNSAN, Korea, Feb. 13.— (AP)—Allied negotiators
today gctcepted a 60-. day l}:mit on exchanging prisoners and
tfered to compromise their demands f isi
Korean truce. ST
The Commpmsps had proposed the 60-day limit. THCG
exchange period is to start when an armistice is signed
I'he agreement does not touch the key question of volun:
tary repatriation.
The United Nations command,
holding 182,000 - prisoners, had
wanted 80 days more than was
.llowed the Reds to complete the
¢xchange. The Reds only 11,559
men in Red POW camps.
Allied staff officers megotiating
details for supervising a truce of
forred a two-point compromise:
(1) It Communists agree to ro
tating 40,000 tropps a month in
2ddition to men on temporary
leave, the Allies will drop two de
mands the Reds oppose.
One of these would forbid shift
ing troops during a truce in a
maonner that could constitute an
offensive threat. The other would
require weekly reports on the
location of all major military units.
Reds originally agreed to rotat
‘ng 5,000 men monthly. They have
tycreased this to 30,000. Allies
sricinally asked 75,000 including
men on rest and recuperation leave
io Japan.
(2) Both sides “meet headway”
on the number of ports of entry
through which troops and arms
would move under neutral sup
ervision during a truce.
Eight Part Entries
The Allies had proposed eight.
Wednesday they cut it to seven.
The Reds had proposed three.
Tuesday they increased it to four.
There was no word from the
Communists when they would
have ready their new proposed
solution for the fifth and final
item of the armitice agenda. This
deals with recommendations to
the governments concerned for a
settlement of the Korean problem.
The Reds promised Tuesday to
draft a new plan. It will be pre
sented to a full dress negotiating
sessian.
Meanwhile staff officers con
tinue working on details of the
other two unsettled armistice clau
scs. But each _is by-passing the
most troublesome issue.
These by-passed points are:
Shall the Reds be allowed to re
pair bombed out airfields? Shall
prisoners of war have free choice
of whether they want to be ex
changed?
ATLANTA, Feb. 13 — (AP) —
The University System Board of
Regents today allocated $11,440,-
000 for the 1952-53 school year
and proposed development of a
negro graduate school program.
In allocating the funds, the Re
gents left $783,000 in the till to
be spent later, thus giving them
a total budget allowance of $12,-
232,000.
The resolution proposing devel
opment of graduate schools for
negroes set grth that any study
should look toward inauguration
of the program in September,
1953.
This resolution merely specified
that the program be set up in
“certain fields.” They did not am
plify.
An application of negro Horace
Ward for admission into the Uni
versity of Georgia Law School,
now is spending before the Re
gent’s Committee on Education.
The Regents’ meeting required
slightly more than an hour and
in the course of it they agreed to
spend $64,800 for a food process
ing plant at the Georgia Experi
ment Station, $29,700 for the
purchase of three homes on
Lumpkin street in Athens for the
University of Georgia and $262,-
270 throughout the system for
elimination of fire hazards.
In addition, they directed the
University of Georgia Law School
and the University’s Medical
School at Augusta to set up exam
imations for screening applicants
for admission.
The Regents also revised the
teacher retirement system to make
retirement for administrators and
teachers compuisory at age 65. In
doing so, however, they set up a
sliding age requirement scale to
eliminate hardships on those now
expecting to teach until age 70
and to retire at one-half pay.

Science Le
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb, 13—
(AP)—The smoke from hot, sim
mering and boiling coal will make
good drinking (ethyl) alcohol.
Also perfumes, gasoline, medi
cines, rubber, clothes, plastics and
scores ‘of other synthetic chemi
cals. % v
The smoke is the result of light
ing a fire in a seam of under
ground coal, and then boiling,
instead of consuming most of the
coal. The quality of this coal
smoke is all-important, and ‘how
to get it is the subject of a two
day symposium here at the first
International Conference on the
Underground Gasification of coal.
Two of the fumes already pro
duced by these underground fires
—at Gorgas, Ala., in England,
Germany, Belgium, France and
Italy—are carbon monoxide and
hydrogen. They the the basic ma
terials for the perfumes and all
the rest of the miracles to come
from smoke.
Dr. Carl Bordenca, of the South
ern Research Institute, at Bir
mingham, explained that the
synthetic methods and -catalysts
already exist for making all these
conversions. As soon as the en
gineers are able to produce these
gases in useful quantities, Dr. Bor
denca said, new industries will
become possible.
He said the alcohol made from
the coal fumes may compete in
cost with fermentation and pe
troleum alcohols.
The underground fire, at one
end of a seam, melts the -eoal
ahead of it. Fumes—all valuable
gases—rise and flow up & chim
ney. What is left forms a crude
kind of coke which continues the
fire, and this coke, too, because it
is enclosed in the earthen tube,
produces further valuable gases.
All this is easy to do in labora
tory test tubes as big as autos
which were described today. Un=
derground -there are many dif
ficulties to overcome because the
earth tubes are not perfect.
Army Plans Big
Training Camp
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—(AP)
—The Army announced today it
will conduct this year the biggest
sumnrer-camp training program
for its reserves in the nation’s his
tory.
The Department said in a news
release that 160,000 reserve offi
cers and enlisted men will be
called for 15 days of active duty,
for training on a “mandatory”
basis. Volunteers and ather cate
gories will bring the training total
up to about 190,000.
J. Smiley Wolfe, president of
the Chamber last year, will call
the meeting to order, with the in
vocation by the Rev. Paul C.
Howle, president of the Athens
Ministerial Association and pastor
of the First Christian Church. The
invocation will be followed imme

serve as foastmaster at a banquet
at the Georgian Hotel tonight
given for outstanding Georgia
bankers attending a Bankers
Short Course on the College of
Agriculture campus.
Somgl 75 banking officials, agri
cultural leaders and farmers are
expected to attend.
Another outstanding Athenian,
R. C. Gilmer, vice-president of the
National Bank of Athens, is sched
uled to speak to the bankers meet
ing Thursday morning. His sub
ject will be “Need for Early An
iticipation of Credit Needs by Far
‘mers.” He is expected to stress the
need for arranging in advance the
financing of a project from its
start to its completion, whether it
be in agriculture, nranufacturing,
retailing, or something else,
The Program
All sessions of the bankers
short course are being held in the
Forestry Building on the College,
of Agriculture campus. The pro
gram was arranged by J. W, Fan
ning; another Athenian and chair
man of the division of agricultu
ral economics of the University of
Georgia.
A fourth Clarke ecountian to
appear on the meeting program is
M. C. Southwell, outstanding far
mer of the Hull community. Mr.
Southwell operates a large dairy
business and is one of the larger
poultry farmers in this area.
In his talk to the bankers this
morning Southwell said, “During
the years I have been in farming,
the ability to borrow money when
I needed it has done more than
any other one thing in making my
efforts successful. At the same
time, the lack of proper long
term credit, I feel, has done more
than any one tiuing to hold me
back.”
Mr. Southwell began farming
about 10 years ago as a renter. He
owns and operates a 560 acre
farm, milks 55 cows, sells milk to
the Athens Cooperative Creamery,
and has 3,500 laying hens. He says ‘
about 90 percent of his income is
from these sources. |

Polificos Think
BY EDWIN P. HAAKINSON
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—(AP)
—Politicians said privately today
that President Truman ay be
following a pattern use(!m by the
late President Franklin D. Roose
velt in seeking another White
House term. ‘
Rep. Sabath (D.-Ill.), dean of
Congress in service, came out of
the White House yesterday say
ing the President told him he
might take another terny if it
would serve world peace.
So far the Chief Executive has
had nothing to say directly about
seeking re-election, but a series of
White House callers have pro
duced widely varying reports.
Sabath said Truman told him
the presidency is “a killing job”
but that if he "actually~felt he
would be of aid and help to Am
erica and the world in bringing
about a peace,” in that case he
would be willing to “sacrifice
himself and possibly shorten his
life expectancy.”
Politicians recalled that other
White House callers gave similar
reports after talking to' the late
President Roosevelt just before he
accepted nominations for the third
and fourth terms.
~ Senator Sparkman (D.-Ala.), a
Southerner who has helped put
parts of the Truman program
through Congress, said “maybe it
sounds crazy for me to say it, but
I still don’t think he’s a candi
date.”
Sparknran with Senator Hill has
been trying to keep the Alabama
Democratic organization in line to
support the party's presidential
nominee, whoever he may be. Four
years ago Alabama bolted to the
States Rights candidate, J. Strom
Thurmond.
Sparkman said every Democrat
who has been mentioned as a pos
sible candidate “would work for
the peace and advocates the same
foreign policies as Mr. Truman.”
“So it doesn’t seem to nre it nec
essarily means he is going to run,
if that is what Mr. Sabath was
quoting it for,” he said. -
Ellis Arnall, former Governor
of Georgia who has been picked
by Truman as price control chief,
said some time ago he believes the
President will run. That is why
Arnall agreed to take the appoint
ment, some politicians believe. '

BY JIM THOMASSON
ATLANTA, Feb. 18—
(AP)—Governor Talmadge
today allocated $5,000,000
from state surplus funds to
finance local school con
struction on an equalization
basis.
He acted just a few hours
after the Legislature ad
journed last midnight in a
deadlock which killed a bill
to appropriate a similar
amount for school eonstrud
tion.
The allocation apparently was
the “ace” to which House Speaker
Fred Hand refered during the
House-Senate battle over how the
money will be distributed.
The speaker and the House in
sisted that it be divided by the
State Board of Education on an
equalization basis-according to
need.
- In his statement announcing the
allocation the Governor said, “I
have set aside the sum of $5,000,-
000 to be available within the
'scope of the Minimum Foundation
for Education to construet school
buildings under a program ap
proved by the State Board of Ed
ucation and the state school build
ing authority.”
Talmadge Silent
The governor declined to com
ment further saying he was not
aware of how the state board and
school building authority would
want to distrii ute the money,
However the entii< State Board of
Education appeared at public
hearings to support Hand’s equal
ization plan, The speaker is chair
man of the State School building
Authority.
Talmadge announced the alloca
tion after a econference with Hand,
State Auditor B. E. Thrasher, jr.,
Attorney General Eugene Cook,
and John Sibley, all members of
' the State School Building Author=
ity; Dr. J. 1. Allman, assistant
state superintendent of schools,
and Sumter Kelley, a bond attor
ney.
Allocation of the surplus money
by the governor on the equaliza
tion basis directly contradicts the
position of Lieut. Gov. Marvin
Griffin and the Georgia Senate
on the school fssue. They had in
sisted that a definite schedule be
written into law so that every
county would share in the extra
money and each system would
know exactly how much it would
receive.
Griffin Recommendation
Shortly after the Legislature ad
journed at midnight, Griffin rec
ommended that a special session
of the Legislature be called at &
later date to again consider the
school bullding program. Tal
madge said however, “I think my
| action today obviates the necessity
for a special session.” .
~ Sen. Osgood Williams of Craw
fordville, minority floor leader in
the Senate who was at the Capitol
when the governor’s action was
announced, declared:
“This may be the beginning of
the end of the honeymoon between
the governor and Roy Harris.”
Harris, Augusta politician, and
a close personal and political
friend of Talmadge, took an ac
tive role in the House-Senate
school fund controversy in behalf
of the Senate’s propogsed method
of distribution.
The school fund bill was among
several dying in the last hours of
the legislative session. Another, on
which Senate and House could not
agree, would have given all of the
state’s more than 14,000 employes
a cost of living pay raise.
A Conference Committee work
ed from early morning until the
stroke of midnight in a vain at
tempt to solve House and Senate
differences over division of a SIOO
million school fund.
Involved in the controversy
were a bill to increase from $5 to
$lO million the annual appropria
tion for buildings and equipment
and a proposed constitutional
amendment directing the Legisla
ture to earmark $10,000,000 an
nually for the next 20 years for
that purpose. e
Griffin, active supporter of di
vision of the additional money by
definite formula, was concerned
principally with failure of the
proposed constitutional amend
ment. 4 5
The constitutional amendment
was designed to make it easier to
sell revenue certificates at a low
rate of interest by guaranteeing

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 — (AP) —
Government and airline officials
have promised to keep disaster

Newsmen were barred from the
closed meeting, but two persons
who attended said there was
strong sentiment for eventual re
opening of the Newark field,
which borders on Elizabeth. The
two declined use of their names.
Fight Operations
Flights operationg at LaGuardia

also were discussed at the meeting.
The port of New York guthority,
a two-state agency, operates these
fields as well as Newark airport.
Elizabeth’s disaster Monday
killing* 32 persons, was the third
time a plane using Newark air
