TCO AMIABLE FOR TRUMAN—Russia’s Deputy Pre
mier Vyacheslav Molotov (left), then foreign minister,
is recipient of a double handshake from former Secre
tary of State James F. Byrnes during the latter’s Moscow
visit in December, 1945. President Truman and Byrnes
now are in open contradiction over whether Truman
bawled out Byrnes for his handling of Russian relations
on the trip, as stated in the book ‘“Mr. President,” which
has just been released. In background at above meeting
are Molotov’s interpreter and Jacob Malik (smiling,

forris Probe Gets Off
: ' ® @&
in Several Directions
BY JACK ADAMS
WASHINGTON, March 19— (AP} —Political bomb
bursts rolled up and down Pennsylvania Avenue today as
corruption probes-within-probes veered off in unpredict
able directions.
These developmenis stood out
in the bitter election-year struggle
between the Truman administra
tion and its eritics:
1. Newbold Morris, President
Truman’s Wfld cor~
ruption sleuth; « on Attorney
General MeGrath. (his own ‘im=
mediate superior) and 595 other
top Justice Department officials to
submit detailed data on the finan
cial status of themselves and their
immediate kin.
The questions asked ranged
from stock market speculation and
gambling to how many fur coats
are now in the family compared
with five years ago,
2. A House Judiciary Subcom
mittee set up in the wake of Con
gressional disclosures of tax
collection scandals asked Truman
for a look at the income tax re
turns of McGrath and 19 of his
aides.
3. The same committee asked
McGrath to appear for question
ing March 26 in connection with
the committee’s own investigation
of Justice Department afafirs. Re
publican presidential possibility
Harold E. Stassen has suggested
an inquiry into reports that Mc-
Grath has become a millionaire in
his 21 years in public office.
Reject HST Request
4. The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee rejected Truman’s request
that investigator Morris be given
power to subpoena witnesses and
require the production of records
from non-government sources,
Instead, Chairman McCarran
(D.-Nev.) said his group had ap
proved “a new approach” to the
government cleanup problem. This
would involve Presidential ap
pointment of a chief investigator
and five assistants who—unlike
Morris—would be subject to Sen~
ate confirmation.
Further, in sharp contrast to the
Morris plan of operations, Con=
gress would have access to all in
formation gathered by these in
vestigators, through subpoena
powers or otherwise.
MecCarran and other members
of the committee made it amply
clear that they did not have Mor
ris in mind for the proposed chief
investigator’s post.
The Nevadan described Morris,
former president of the New York
City Council, as a man without
“control of his own emotions.”
This was an obvious reference to
Morris’ outburst against the “di
seased minds” of senators investi
cating his part in some surplus
tanker deals.

Trucemen Near
Agreements On
Parley Issues
MUNSAN, Korea, March 19—
(AP)—Allied spokesmen report
ed truce negotiators neared agree
ment today on the ten ports of
entry to be used during a Korean
armistice. :
United Nations negotiators pro
posed a compromise. The Com
munists promised to think it over.
At the end of their 53-minute dis
cussion, Col. Andrew J. Kinney
said:
“It appears that we are in agree~
ment of the better part of the ports
question.”
Another group of staff officers
met for only a few minutes be
cause neither side could answer a
series of questions asked previously
by the other concerning exchange
of prisoners. .
Unverified rumors circulated
around the truce village of Pan
munjom that some new step was
in the making to break the long
deadlock over prisoners.
Communist newsmen, who often
reflect the view of Red delegates,
talked of a truce agreement in
three or four weeks.
Three major disagreements
stand in the way of a armistice.
There has been no indication a
solution was near on any. The key
disputes: v
1. Voluntary repatriation of pri
soners as demanded by the Allies
versus forced repatriation de=~
manded by the Reds.
2. The question of whether Com
munists should be allowed to re
pair their damaged airfields dur
ing a truce.
3. Communist insistence ©®n
Soviet Russia as a neutral nation
to supervise an armistice and 13,
N. refusal to consider it.
These neutrals would check on
the flow of men and materials
coming into Korea as replacements
through the ten ports of entry—
five on each side. -

Favorite Russell
WINDER, Ga., March 19—(AP)
~— A flu epidemic and rainy night
didn’t stop 200 hometown friends
of Dick Russell from turning out
to boom their favorite son for
President.
The country’s first public Rus
sell for President rally heard
Georgia’s junior Senator described
as a man well qualified to occupy
the White House and to “restore
public faith in our political sys
tem.”
A crowd of 750 had-been ex
pected, but only about 200 showed
up last night. One of the speakers
explained that Barrow County had
been hit by a flu epidemic and
folks were afraid to get their
feet wet.
Principal speaker was Erle
Cocke, jr, former National Com
mander of the American Legion
and now an air line executive, He
was interrupted frequently by
applause. The crowd clapped
louder for “Russell for President”
than it did for the traditional
strains of “Dixie.”
Fine Record
Russell, who announced Feb.
28 he would seek the Democratic
Presidential nomination, was des
cribed by Cocke as a man whose
record in 32 years of public life
“needs no apology and no de
fense.”
- And Cocke said that the nation,
and notP just the south, needs Rus=
sefl as Pregidgnt. -. ¢ . o
ntinued, the Un States “can
find unity and strength of pur=
po*."
“Never in all American history
‘,from the time of Washington
himself has there been a candi
date better qualified by nature
‘and experience for that highest
public office,” he asserted.
As Legion Commander Cocke
visited all the 48 states and he
said he found that the people are
looking for a leader they can trust
and follow with confidence,
Predicts Victory
Mark Dunahoo, a former ex
ecutive secretary to Russell’s pre
dicted a fight at the nominating
convention with his ex-boss em
erging as the winner.
Mrs. W. M. Holsenbeck of the
Winder Woman’s Club prophesied
the Senator would draw strong
support from the women veters.
“He is a bachelor,” she said,
“and all the women love him. He
makes us all feel distinctively his
own sweethearts.”
In addition to Winder and Bar
row County dignitaries, the Sen
ator’s brothers will and Alex and
his nephew Richard B. Russell
111, were on hand.
Four Qualified
For House Seats
Grady Pittard, jr., Tuesday
afternoon gqualified with the
Clarke County Democratic Execu~
tive Committee as a candidate for
re-nomination as one of Clarke
County’s Representatives to the
State House in the State Demo
cratic Primary to be held on May
14,
Rep. Pittard had announced
earlier that he intended to be a
candidate for re-election and his
qualification yesterday brought to
three the number of candidates
seeking . the seat now held by
him.
Previously qualifying were C.
0. (Fat) Baker and :Robert G.
Stephens, jr., both seeking the
seat held by Mr. Pittard.
Rep. Chappelle Matthews has
also qualified as a candidate to
succeed himself as a member of
the State House of Representa
tives.
Entries close at noon, Saturday,
March 22, and registration to vote
in the primary will close when
the office of the County Registrars
closes on May 3.

TOKYO, March 19 — (AP) —
Hundreds of American servicemen

James B. Pilcher, U. 8. Consul
General, estimated the last-day

number of servicemen legally
married to Japanese to about 8,000.
An accurate count will not be

Politicians Believe President’s
Order Means He Won’t Run Again
WASHINGTON, March 19, — (AP) — President Tru
man's withdrawal from the June 8 California primary to
day spurred a move by Senator Humphrey of Minnesota to
organize a-northern state “fair deal” voting bloc for the
Democratic national convention. :
An abru?t telegram from Na
tienal Chairman Frank E. Mc-
Kinney, visitiu% the President at
his Key West, Fla., vacation spot,
plunged a coalition of California
Democratg into confusion last
night.
McKinney wired them -— ob
viously on direct orders of the
President—to take Truman name
out of that primary. Sen. Kefauver
of Tennessee now is the only De
mocrat entered there but Sen.
Russell of Georgia told a reporter
he is considering making it a con- |
test. |
Russell is the South’s anti-Tru
man candidte for the party’s nomi
nation, Kefauver, who defeated the
President in last week’'s New
Hampshire primary, is strongly
opposed by administration sup
porters and by many Russell back
ers,
McKinney's precipitate Calif
ornia action on the ' President’s
orders strengthened the belief in
many quarters here that Truman
has finally decided he does not
choose to run again.

EASTER SEAL CAMPAIGN — Shown above is Mayor
Jack R. Wells and little “Boßo’’ Alexander, son of Dr.
and Mrs. J. W. Alexander, 143 Greenwood Drive, the
Mayor is putting in the first bid for Easter Seals from
“BoBo” for the Easter Seal Campaign which opens
March 20 to April 13. “BoBo” is a student at the Athens
School for Physical Handicapped Children, which is
located in Margaret Hall at Lucy Cobb.
Mayor Wells Proclaims
Easter Seal Time Here
March 20 through April 13 has
been named Easter Seal time in
Athens by Mayor Jack R. Wells in
an official proclamation issued
this morning.
Stressing the great need for
services to crippled children,
Mayor Wells urged full commu
nity support of the 19th annual
appeal.
“The responsibility to give each
child a right to happiness is ours
—a responsibility we cannot neg
lect,” he said.
“No single individual can make
possible the services needed to
help the crippled. But through
our combined efforts, we can sup
port the organizations which have
the strength and facilities to do so.
The Georgia Society for Crippled
Children, as an independent or
ganization and a member of a na
tionwide federation,, can and does
do this the year round. Our best
way of helping crippled children,
then, is by supporting the work of
the Georgia Society for Crippled
Children, Inc., by contributing to
the Easter §éal campaign which
rhakes its services possible.”
The Mayor said that many
crippled children and adults have
been served by the society during
the past five years.
His official proclamation is as
follows:
“WHEREAS, there are at the
present time over 100 crippled
‘children in the city of Athens in
need of direct services in order to
BY JACK BELL
seek another term, said he is help=
ing weld a northern state voting
bloc to cack some cundidate at
the July Chicago convention who
will carry on the “Fair Deal” pro
gram. He disclaimed any personal
Presidential ambition.
McKinney's telegram to the
California leaders indicated to ob
servers at Key West that Truman,
angered by his loss to Kefauver in
New Hampshire, ig taking over
personal direction of strategy
leading up to the Democratic Con
vention.,
The Presidential order, trans
mitted through McKinney, threw
California administration Demo
crats into confusion.
Sharply divided factionally, they
had some difficulty in patching up
a slate of 76 delegates favorable
to the President. The 76 would cast
68 convention votes.
Now that this group has been
cast adrift, state assemblyman
William Rosenthal, California
Truman leader, said he had no
alternative but to start all over
and line up a new candidate.
Rosenthal said this meant the
circulation of petitions under

become healthy, happy adults; and
“WHEREAS, the responsibility
of giving each child a right to
happiness is ours—a responsibility
we cannot neglect because it is
one of the vital factors in the fu
ture of our city and nation, and a
great humanitarian cause; and
“WHEREAS, no individual alone
can provide the services needed
in helping the crippled, and
“WHEREAS, we must support
the organizations which have the
strength and facilities to do this;
and
“WHEREAS, the Georgia So
ciety for Crippled Children, as an
independent organization and a
member of a nationwide federa
tion can, and does, do this the
year round; and
“*WHEREAS, our best way of
helping crippled children is by
supporting the work of the Geor
gia Society by contributing to the
Easter Seal campaign which
makes its services possible; then
“THEREFORE, I, Jack R. Wells,
Mayor of the City of Athens, do
hereby proclaim the time between
March 20 through April 13 as Eas
ter Seal time and urge all citizens,
interested groups and societies to
participate fully and wholeheart~
edly in its cause. :
“IN WITNESS WHEREOF, 1

THREAT WRITER
An elderly gravedigger, Wil
liam Brinckerheff Brown, has
been arrested in New York,
charged with writing a threat
ening letter to the late Arnold
Schuster after he had led police
to bank robber Willie Sutton.—
(NEA Telephoto.)
Robbery Trial
NEW YORK, March 19—(AP).
Willie (The Actor) Sutton may
make his current role, as defen
dant in a 1950 bank robbery trial,
strictly one of silence. His attor
‘ney hints he may not testify.
And, despite a court ruling, it
~appears that he will have to share
top billing with the ghost of the
*young man - who identified him
for police—slain Arnold Schuster,
_ Sutton and Thomas Kling, 45,
- both notorious bank robbers and
~jail breakers, went on trial yes=
terday in a $64,000 holdup of a
branch of the Manufacturers
Trust Company in the baerough
of Queens.
Queens County Judge Peter T.
Farrell ruled the Schuster slaying
fhas “absolutely no connection”
with the defendants and “is not
an jssue.” But the murder crept
into the proceedings a number of
times.
The judge made the ruling
while defense attorneys were
questioning prospective jurors,
one of whom was excused when
he mentioned the Schuster slay
ing. » ‘
Jury Selection :
George Washington Herz, one
of Sutton’s attorneys, also asked
the talesman if they would be
“prejudiced against this defendant
if he did not take the stand.”
“You wouldn’t say to yourself,
‘if he’s innocent, why doesn’t he
get up there and say so?’” Herz|
said.
The task of selecting a jury
continues today. Yesterday three
jurors were chosen—subject to a !
possible defense challenge. #
Sixty talesmen were excused
for a number of reasons—business |
responsibilities, family illness and '
posible prejudice. Among the lat- !
ter was a banker, !
But-Httle, if any, fear because
of the Schuster slaying was
shown. : I
Schuster, 24-year-old Brooklyn ;
clothing salesman, was shot down |
near “his home March 8. It wasl
on Feb, 18 that he had recognized l
Sutton on a subway train and |
pointed him out to police, !
The arrest of Kling and John |
De Venuta, 37, followed a few !
days after Sutton’s capture. All |
three were behind bars the night
Schuster was shot. ;
De Venuta yesterday won a|
separate trial after the state said [
he would testify against Sutton '
and Kling. |
The defendants, dressed more
like bank executives than robbers, |
were heavily-guarded and man- |
acled whenever they moved from
the court-room during recesses,

Truman Believed
Ready To Direct
Demo Campaign
BY ERNEST B. VACCARO
KEY WEST, Fla, March 19.—
(AP)—President Truman appar=
ently has taken personal charge of
future political strategy for %fim
self and the Democratic party.
The impression arose from a se
ries of conferences with Demo=
cratic National Chairman Frank
E. McKinney which ended with
one positive public result:
McKinney, acting on Trumran's
orders, directed party officials in
California to withdraw the Presi
dent’s name from that state’'s pri
mary election June 3.
Regardless of whether Truman
plans to seek re-election or not,
he appears determined to take
personal command of the situation
and carry out his original inten=
tion—to stay out of all primaries.
He has called presidential prefer
ential primaries “eyewash.”
This determination could not
have been lessened any by the
spectacular showing made in last
week’'s New Hampshire primary
by Tennessee's Senator Estes Ke
| fauver, who grabbed all of the
' state’s convention delegates away
li‘rom the President.
Dramatic Move
One thing appears certain in the
niinds of the men near Trumén—
he is ready to makeé some dramatic
moves in the months before the
Democratie national convéention to
regain prestige lost by his New
Hampshire defeat.
’ Truman didn’t want his name
left on the ballot in New Hamp
shire. He didn’t want to make a
campaign until he had decided
definitely whether to seek re
election. He is believed bitterly
disappointed that his own judg
ment was swayed by New Hamp
shire Democratic leaders who per
suaded him with McKinney’s help,
to change his mind.
Meanwhile, the President made
it clear again he has no intention
of relieving General Dwight D.
Eisenhower as supreme comman=
der of Allied forces in Europe un=
less Eisenhower personally re-'
quests it. :
The latest word from FEisen
hower, a letter made public by
House Republicans in Washington
Monday, said “no other job or mris
sion that I can discharge seems
more important than the one in
which I am now engaged.” But he
said he would “regularly re-ex
amine” the situation.
Mayor Speaks On
WGAU Last Night
Mayor Jack R. Wells, speaking
over Radio Station WGAU last
night, reviewed the history of
public housing in Athens and af
ter discussing the present situa
' tion which has become embroiled
' in controversy, made a plea for an
harmonious and satisfactory solu
tion to the problem. .
“At the present time there are
sixty-nine communities in Geor
gia building public housing pro
jects under the same set-up as we
have here and they are doing it in
a spirit of progress and harmony.
I do not see why the same spirit
of working together, all tolerant
of each other, cannot prevail
here,” the Mayor said, adding:
“That is my goal and the goal
of every Athenian who sincerely
desires to sée a friendly sélution
arrived at in this matter. To this
end I pledge my wholehearted and
continued efforts.” ’
In his speech, which was con
ciliatory in text and delivery,
Mayor Wells nevertheless again
pointed out that the Housing Au
thority is a separate entity and‘
that Mayor and City Council have
no authority over it in any way. J
He reviewed briefly the history
of public housing in Athens up-to
date and brought out that the
Housing Authority had entered
into a contract with the federal
government, had already used
part of the fund allocated to it
and asked the question as to what |
the consequences would be if this
contract is broken.
: Reads Letter
He read from a letter from the
Public Housing Administration to
the local Housing Authority, as
follows:
“Further, in view of the recent
history of housing sites in Ath
ens, we feel the local Authority
should request of the City Coun

He piled up a vote even his sup
porters found amazing en the
strength of a write-in campaign i
started only last Friday. L
It was the first time write-in »;‘
ballots were a major factor in any |
Minnesota election.
Gen, Eisenhower’'s name was |
not on the ballot because the Su
preme Court found filing petitions
for him were defective. The write
in campaign started after an at
torney general’s ruling that such
ballots must be counted.
The General’s backers modestly
appealed for 50,000 votes,
When counting stopped for the
night, Eisenhower had 90,108
votes in unofficial returns from
2,107 of the state’s 3,769 preeincts.
Stassen, thrice governor of Min
nesota, had 98,665.

Eisenhower made his strongest
showing in Minneapolis where he i
outran Stassen 32,292 to 19,277. !
Also benefitting from write-in |
vetes were Sen. Estes Kefauver
(D.-Tenn.), whi withdrew after
his name had been entered by
petition, and Sen, Taft (R.-Ohio),
who refused to enter the primary. |
On the Republican side, Taft
picked up 19,304 write-in veotes
without any Minnesota campaign:
Gen. Douglas MacArthur pelled
1,232 and Gov. Earl Warren of
California, 4,487.

On the Democratic ballot, Sen.

nois senator or the U, S. Supreme
Court Justice. A distinction was
not made in most of the precincts
which recorded a Douglas vote.
Edward C. Slettedahl, St. Paul
