Georgia Senator By The Associated Press Smouldering Dixie opposition to President Truman was being fan ned today by admirers of Georgia’s Senator Richard B. Russell. Russell’s home state suporters may propel him into the middle of the Democratic Presidential race this week.

Shot In Arm 1 | In Florida the Russell movement got a shot in the arm yesterday when nine Floridians instructed to support him qualified as candi dates for state delegates to the Democratic National Convention. In Mississippi, the House of Re presentatives paved the way for another possible break with the National Party. It voted without dissent for all political parties to nominate anyone they wish as the state organization’s choice for President and vice president. Bell said Southern Democrats feel the Dixie revolt would collapse if almost any candidate other than Truman were nominated. Even so, some of them fear Ten nessee's Senator Estes Kefauver may split the Southern vote. Many leaders in the South remain cool toward Kefauver’s candidacy. The Tennessee Senator continti~ ed his busy campaigning, going into the President’s home state of Missouri. In St. Louis he said without naming names yesterday that “the heac of a government has a clear responsibility to clean up any corrupt or dishonest act as quickly as it springs up.” Another Hopeful Another Democratic Presidential hopeful, Senator Robert S.

Chinese Confinue Toßeject Latest Allied Proposal MUNSAN, Korea, Feb, 26— (AP)—Communists today “cate gorically rejected” an Allied pro posal that would ban Russian su pervision of a Korean truce. The Allies had proposed four ' neutral nations police the truce ]instead of six. This would cut Norway off the United Nations L%inst and Russia off the Red nom-~ Minations. wioe o ¢ O pGEER AR e “We cannot consider {it", said Chinese Col. Pu Shan, Staff officers also remained deadlocked on the number of ports of entry each side should be al lowed during a truce. The Allies now propose six, the Communists five. . Another group of staff officers devoted their entire session to minor differences in phraseology on arrangements for exchanging prisoners of war. As truce talks adjourned until Wednesday, each side accused the other of stalling. The U. N. command made its promise proposal on neutral su~ pervisors Monday in an effort to get around the newest road block: toward ending the blcodshed in Korea. It would limit supervising na=- tions to Sweden, Switzerland, and Communist Poland and Czechoslo=~ vakia. This would get rid of the Russian problem, “The point is not the number of members on the neutral nations supervisory commission, ”"Pu Shan said, “but it is the question that one side cannot give reasons for objecting to the nominations of the other side.” What he meant was that the Communists could name any na tion they wanted to the comfnis sion, so long as it was not active ly fighting in Korea, and the U. N. had nothing to say about it. The Allies have told the Reds the nominations of each side are subject to approval by the other; and that Soviet Russia is not ac ceptable because of past %:rtici pation in Korea. The Red Korean Army is trained, advised and sup plied by Russia. After the session Brig. Gen. Viilliam P. Nuckols, spokesman for the U. N. command, said the Reds were ‘“attempting to wring every possible last ounce of concession from the United Nations com= mand.” Vinson Says US 'Vlnson Jays ( : f May Face War, WASHINGTON, Feb. 26—(AP) —_Chairman Vinson (D-GA.) of the House Armed Service Com mittee said today the United States faces “ a possibility of sudden war tomorrow and a threat of war [ over an extended period of time.” | Vinson made the statement in a | speech prepared for opening | House debate on universal mili | tary training (UMT) legislation. !

The government’s living cost index for mid-January was due today (noon, EST) and was ex pected to show little if any change from a month earlier. This expected pause in the steadily increasing living cost trend since the Korean war began may be only temporary, or reflect post-holiday price declines. But wholesale commodity prices have been declining and are now five percent below a year ago. Even retail grocery prices have been falling a bit. So a halt in the living cost spiral may be here for a while, Today’s living cost index, al though changing little from Dec ember to January, is expected to be high enough, nonetheless, to give the million members of the ClO’s Auto Workers Union an ex tra pay boost of two cents an hour, possibly three cents. This won’t be based on what happened to living costs in Janu ary, but on what happened in prior months. The auto industry’'s pay adjustment for the umion is fig ured quarterly, this time being a contrast between the October and January index figures. Has Risen Steadily } The government’s consumers price index, commonly called the living cost index, has gone up steadily since last Jume. There was a small decline from May to June. Prior to that, with occasional interruptions, there had been monthly jumps. Right now the in dex is about 11 percent above the pre-Korean level. e ee W, Lae v ‘Departmeyt's Bureau o Tbor scmtm%ﬁch i s et the consumrers price index, pro vided a tipoff that living costs wouldn’t change much in January. ‘This showed small declines in food prices. Food is figured heav ily in the consumers index. Many factors impossible to foresee hold the answer to wheth er living costs from here on out are going up or down. If an armistice is worked out in Korea, for instance, the military might reduce its food buying and cause lower grocery-item prices. But this would not happen if re duced activities in Korea were accompanied by more U. S. ac tivity in Europe. Prices could be stimulated up ward, too, if labor unions in steel, coal and a number of other indus tries obtain pay boosts and em ployers raise the prices of their products. . | Pittard Seeking Return To House Representative Grady Pittard, jr., today announced he will be a candidate to succeed himself as one of Clarke County’s two re presentatives to the Georgia Gen eral Assembly in the State De mocratic Primary to be held May 14, Mr. Pittard is a native and life long resident of Winterville, ex cept for the time spend in service in Worid War Two.

An official source said today a draft of the new agree ment had been sent to Bonn for final approval by Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer’s government. He gave these additional de- many. It will also pay for the tails: . | equipment Germany is to get from The agreement was drafted last night by Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Foreign Secretary Anth ony Eden and Foreign Minister Robert Schuman, who stayed on here after the closing of the Atlan tic Pact Parley to settle some out standing German and Austrian questions. The Ministers and their top ad visers met again this morning. They also invited in the Benelux Ministers to keep them informed. Before them last night was a message from Bonn in which the federal government said it was ready to accept the figure of 11% billion marks as the size of its de fense contribution. The amount had been recommended by top Allied planners who were called in to measure Germany’s capacity to pay. Wording Of Terms But difficulties arose about the precise wording of the terms and form of the German contribution. The Ministers spent nearly three hours last night knocking the text of the agreement into shape, then gsent it along to Bonn for Aden auer’s approval. 1.

In turn EDC will fork out the expenses of the United States, British and French troops In Ger Beauty Crificizes Using Oldsters In Film Clinches HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 26—(AP) —An Italian film beauty’s remark that some Hollywood actors are too old to pitch convincing woo drew snickers and snorts from the local movie colony. e “It’s ridiculous to see a man old enough to be your grandfather playing an ardent lover,” actress Sylvana Pampanini told an inter viewer in Rome. ! She named Clarke Gable, Charles Boyer, Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Paul Muni and Ronald Colman as example who, “stripped of their movie glamor, would seem pitiful in the arms of a woman.” ) Said Miss Pampanini: “Holly~ wood needs a bunch of new lovers —young and virile, in the prime of their youth, not men who were born "in the last century.” She added with a shudder, “It's in decent being kissed by an old man.” Clark Gable thought Miss Pam~ panini’s views “enormously fun ny,” but wouldn’t comment say ing: “I'm not going to get mixed up in THAT.” 3 Mrs. Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, whose husband was yacht ing yesterday, rose to the defense of local males. 3] s “Some of these girls will do anything for publicity,” she said. “] think there’s life in the old boys. After all it teok them year to know what they were doing, and now that they know it, we women should be thankful.” Mrs. Charles Boyer, who an swered the phone while her hus band was showing, said she was “quite nauseated” by Miss Pam panini’s remarks, adding “she seems to be quite young and a be ginner. She’s quite welcome to her opinion.,” After checking with Boyer, she said “he thinks the same.” Mrs. Spencer Tracy said she didn’t think her husband would comment “I think it’s pretty silly. As a matter of fact there are quite a number of young girls who rather like older men,” She shaid. Mrs. Colman wouldn't bother her husband either. She said: “Whoever this Miss Pumpernickel of 1952 it, if she wants the bobby soxers I'd ‘'say let her have ther.” Read Daily by 35,006?99!0 in Athens Trade rea BY STAN SWINTON these funds. The Ministers also turned atten tion today to the problem of getting the Russians to quit stalling on an independence pact for Austria. In addition, they studied Ameri can proposals for taking off some important wraps which still re ‘main on German war industries. The United States faced French and British opposition to resum ing German tank and ammunition output, but the Civil Aeronautics program appreared to have a tair‘ chance of a go-ahead from all three. | There also appeared to be Cfcn-{ eral agreement Germany would not be allowed to build strategic wer industries which would help Rus=- sia if Germany should be over run bg Soviet troops in a future war. Such a ban, presently in ef fect, would include atomic weap= ons, biological warfare agents, and submarines. These decisions on war produc= tion stemmed from NATQ approval last week of the European Army plan.

In Bonn, the West German Cas}- tal, informed sources predicted the projected 12 Berman Divisions could not be in service under Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s NATO military headquarters before 1955, In an effort to solve the long deadlocked Austrian situation, Acheson was expected to seek ap proval by Eden and Schuman of an abbreviated treaty with Austria to restore her independence, as pro mised by the 1943 Moscow declara tion. That declaration marked Aus tria as a Nazi-occupied eountry, not an enemy. The U. S. proposal would re nounce reparations claims, wipe out suggestions of Austrian war guilt, and call for withdrawal of the French, British, American and Russian occupation armies.
