CHATHAM, Mass., Feb, 20—
(AP)—Heroic Coast Guardsmen
steamed to port today with 25
survivors from the broken tanker
Fort Mercer,
Thirteen other seamen passed
up rescue last night, electing, in
stead, to stick with the Fort Mer=-
cer’s stern as volunteers in a sal=

Efforts will be made to tow that
half of the ship to port.
The Fort Mercer was one 'of
two 10,000-ton tankers which
broke in halves abqut the same
time in a terrific northwest storm
off this little fishing port Monday.
The other tanker was the Pen
dleton. Both her halves have
gone aground,
The latest bat¢h of survivors
brought to 57 the number rescued
from the four drifting sections.
Six are listed as dead and eight
are missing and presumed dead.
Eighteen of the 25 men rescued
last night were due to arrive in
Boston at 10:30 a. m. (EST)
aboard the Coast Guard cutter
Acushnet. The cutter had been
due to reach port at 7 a. m. but
had to revise its estimated time of
arrival because of rough seas.
Three Others Rescued
Three others, also rescued from
the Fort Mercer’s stern, were on
board the cutter eastwind stand

1e other four were taken off
the bow section of the Fort Mer

Two of the four taken off the
bow were hauled aboard the Ya

the tossing derelict. The other
two were saved by the breeches

Long Faction Is
Out As Louisiana
Elects Kennon
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 20 —
(AP)—Robert F. Kennon, a 49-
year-old country judge, overthrew
the political might of Gov. Earl
K. Long in a landslide victory for
Governor of Louisiana.
Kennon handed the Long forces
their worst defeat since the late
Huey P. (Kingfish) Long was
beaten for Governor in his first
attempt in 1924,
Kennon'’s victory im yesterday’s
Democratic primary, equivalent to
election, was over former State
District Judge Carlos G. Spaht
(pronounced Spate) of Baton
Rouge, who Gov. Long handpicked
to be his successor. The state
constitution bars the governor
from succeeding himself. His
four-year term expires in May.
Unofficial returns from 1528 of
the state’s 2113 precincts early to
day showed:
Kennon 360,831.
Spaht 210,462,
Against Truman
During his campaign Kennon
spoke out strongly against renom=-
ination of President Truman. In
an early morning interview today
Kgnnon said, lam going to make
héste slowly on national affairs. I
think the policy of the Democratic
party in Louisiana should be to
watch developments and move
along with developments in other
states.”
Louisiana, along with Mississip
pi, Alabama and South Carolina,
cast their electoral votes in 1948
for the States’ Rights ticket
against Mr. Truman.
The prime issue in the guber
natorial campaign was pro-Long
vs. anti-Long, an issue dating back
a quarter of a century to the days
of the Louisiana Kingfish,
In the first primary, Jan. 15,
Kennon ran without the support
of any major political organization
or the endorsement of any daily
newspaper,
Kennon and Spaht topped a
nine-candidate field with Spaht
in first place by 10,000 votes.
Anti-Long Forces
In yesterday’s second runoff
primary Kennon was supported by
a coalition of anti-Long forces in
cluding the seven defeated candi
dates, the organization of Mayor
deLesseps Morrison of New Or
leans, the three New Orleans
daily newspapers and other news
papers throughout the state.
Kennon promised Louisiana cit
izens, the heaviest taxed in the
nation, he would eliminate gov--
ernmental waste and reduce taxes.
Spaht, pledged continuation of
Gov. Long's program, said he
could promise no tax reduction
because it would mean a corre
sponding reduction in govern
mental benefits.
Kennon specifically promised to

National Bank Starts
87th Year Of Service
Today, without fanfare, The
National Bank of Athens observed
its 86th anniversary and prepared
to start into its 87th year of con
tinuous gervice to this community
and the Athens trade territory.
It was on February 20, 1866 that
the bank opened its doors, The
venture was a modest, but never
theless, brave one because it was
begun at a time when the South
and this section lay suffering un
der the heavy consequences of a
losing war.
It had no economy because the
value of its currency had been des
troyed; agriculture was perhaps at
its lowest ebb in history; there
were few among its now impover
ished people who could foresee the
great new empire that was even
tnually to rise from the ashes of
defeat.
The local institutien, which is
the oldest National Bank in the
Southeast continuing to operate
under its original charter and ori
ginal name, was begun to provide
banking facilities and financial
aid which were so sorely needed.
And ever since it has operated
continuously, never once failing to
pay a dividend. In fact dividends
paid since the bank opened have
amounted to $1,969,000.00.
One of the chief organizers of
the bank was John White, who
came here from Ireland to estab
lish a textile mill and who provid
ed ,000 of the bank’s $200,000
fifiw stock, Henry Hull, jr., who
Refuse To Talk
.
Troop Rotation
By GEORGE A. MACARTHUR
MUNSAN, KOREA, Feb. 20 —
(AP) - Communist insistence
that Russia be invited as a neu
tral nation to help supervise a Ko~
rean truce stalled armitice talks
today.
The Allies oftered “in the inter
est of progress” to pare their troop
rotation figure from 40,000 mon
thly to 35,000. But the Reds would
not even talk about it.
No specific progress was report
ed from another truce meeting on
prisoners of war. And no date was
set for a third committee of staff
officers to work out technicalities
on the final truce clause—recom
mendations to governments.
Red negotiators were insistent
that the Soviet Union be the third
neutral nation nominated by the
Communists. The United Nations
command already has approved
Polland and Czechosolovakia.
The Allies said simply that Rus
sia, as sponsor of Red Korea and
Communist China, was ‘“not ac
ceptable” as a neutral supervisor.
Communist staff officers insisted
the nomination was “fully con
sistent with the agreed principies
of the nomination of neutral na
tios” and did not need Allied ap
proval.
The Reds said the proposed draft
for selecting neutrals did not spe
cifically mention that 'both sides
must approve. That agreement was
oral.
The draft provides merely that
neutral nations must not have
contributed combatant forces in
the Korean war.
No mention was made of the
fact that Red Air Forces in Korea
are supplied exclusively with Rus~
sion-type planes, or that their
ground forces wuse Russian-type
antiaircraft guns, artillery, tanks
and other equipment, or that the
North Korean Army was Russian
trained and advised.
The Russian gquestion assumed
the proportion of a third major
stumbling block toward final agree
ment on an armistice. Negotiators
already are stalemated on (1) vol
untary repatriation of prisoners of
war-—the Reds insisted again Wed
nesday on forced repatriation—and
(2) whether Reds shall be allowed
to repair bomb-pocked airfields
during a truce.

in banking and finance, was the
institution’s first president, serv
ing for a year after organization.
Mr. Hull was succeeded in the
presidency by Mr. White, who
served from 1867 to 1881, Asaph
K. Childs, for whom Childs Street
is named, was the next president,
serving until 1900. He was suc
ceeded by John R. White in that
yeag, who continued to serve until
1918.
In 1918 John White Morton be
came president of the bank, a
post he occupied until his death in
1936. Mr, Morton was succeeded in
the presidency by James White,
jr., son of Captain James White,
sr., who for 48 years was a dir
ector and for 43 years cashier of
the bank. When Mr. White resign~
ed the presidency some years ago,
he was succeeded by the late Max
Michael and upon the death of
the latter, W. R. Antley with a
wealth of experience in the field
of banking, was elected to the
presidency and continues in that
office. ;
The long period of successful
service the bank has provided this

learns that it had been in opera
