Also attending the convention were Mr, Foster and Jewell Spen cer of Fickett’'s Jewelry Store. Sam Sammons of Milledgeville, was elected president to succeed James Hart of Wayecross. Convention Report The surprising news that mar ried men are buying more dia monds than ever before was at tested by the number of leading lcwelers of Georgia and South Carolina at their annual comven tion in Savannah. Jewelers agreed that in recent months they have had a landslide of diamond sales bought by husbands, who mno (oubt were unable to buy their wives diamond engagement rings, before the wedding took place. These jewelers, who returned today from Savannah Conference tated that diamonds have always 1 the beautiful sentimental bol of stones it has always customary to give a diamond 10 one’s betrothed. However, fast marriages and lack of finan ' means have in many cases eli- Minated the usual gift of a dia ond engagement ring. Now many 0L these men are visiting their twelers with the idea that “Bet ter Late Than Never”. Another interesting point brousht out at the convention was the creatly increased sale of bet e quality flatware, china, and Civetal. At one time, it was con : red that only the best-'go-do viide would expect sterling silver.

H. Fields of the Atlanta Constitution are under sentence to serve 20 days in jail and pay a fine of S2OO each for contempt of court. Judge H. E. Nichols of Floyd County Superior Court ruled against them on the contempt charges and pronounced the sen tences after an all-day hearing yesterday. __The contempt citations resulted from a story the Constitution pub lished April 21 on traffic law vio lations in Georgia. The story cited a traffic case in Floyd ccunty and said state highway patrolmen found no records as to disposition. “Motorists who ‘know the ropes’ find easy ways and means of get ting around traffic charges in many Georgia counties,” the story declared. " Provided Examples The article added that a survey of State Highway Patrol records provided examples to bear out this assertion. McGill and Fields immediately “"ed notice of appeal from Judge Nichols’ ruling and were released. After the Constitution published the April 21 story, Judge Nichols asked the newspaper to print a photograph of bond records of the Floyd traffic charge and publish a statement he wrote abcut it. The Constitution published the Judge's 1 statement but did not print the photograph. 1 « ~Judge Nichols sajd at the hear-. ing yesterday, “I sent Mr. McGill and Mr. Fields a telegram, calling on them again to publish the rec ords. T got a reply that said in so many words they were not going to do it.” Sad Situation The judge told the editors, “It is a sad situation when gentlemen ir your positions can hold your selves out above the law. I think the whole thing was calculated and designed to mislead the pub- He” McGild and Fields went to the witness stand and testified they held no malice toward Judge Nichols. They declared the story and the way they handled it were not intended to reflect on the courts. Constitution Reporter Keeler TeCartney, who wrote the story; Celestine Sibley and William Har rell, members of the newspaper’s staff, and George - Staryer, the Constitution’s Rome correspon dent, also testiifed that nothing was done intentionally by the newspaper to embarrass the court. Spanish Vets Set Camation Sale Col. Oscar J. Brown Auxiliary, United Spanish War Veterans, will conduet its annual sale of memorial Carnations May 3. The carnation was the favorite flower of the Spanish-American War President, William McKinley and every year the National Auxiliary promotes the sales of the paper carnations all over the nation. All proceeds are used for the sole purpose of aiding the vet erans and their dependents. Mus. Mildred V. Rhodes is general chairman of the sale in Athens. The annual carnation sale is no new venture in this community and the general public understands the full significance of this project, but it has been said that “Amer jcans do not need to be informed as much as they need to be re minded.” Therefore the sale on the streets of Athens Saturday will help bring to mind the serv ices of “the boys of '9B”, who willingly entered the only war our country has engaged in for the sake of humanity alone, and the only volunteer army in its history.

Workers Begin Nationwide Walkout With Amazing Speed After Order WASHINGTON, April 30.—(AP)—U. S. District Judge David A. Pine signed formal orders today directing the return of seized steel mills to their owners and then turned down a government plea to delay the effectiveness of the order. For Stratoliner BY JIMMIE S. PAYNE RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, April 30.—(AP)—Search planes combed vast, unexplored Brazilian jungles and desert-like plateaus today for a luxurious Pan-American Strato cruiser which vanished enroute to New York with 50 persons aboard. Nineteen of them —the crew of nine and 10 passengers — were Americans. One searcher droned through the night over the wilderness be tween Rio de Janeiro and Belem hoping to spot a light or a fire if anyone survived in the thinly pop ulated wilds where the plane was believed down. Many more searchers, after giv ing up the hunt at dark, returned to the air at dawn. Spurred By Hope : The search was spurred by hope that the plane may have been able to crash land somewhere on the barren plateau in mid-Brazil. The double-decked Boeing Stra tocruiser, a peacetime develop ment from the B-29 Superfortress, was the first plane of its kind to be_ljepgrted missing. e The -powerful plane—named the Clipper Good Hope — had flown from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Rio de Janeiro on the first leg of its “El Presidente” flight to the United States. It took off shortly after dark Monday night for Port of Spain, Trinidad, its only other scheduled halt: before reaching New York. Due Tuesday It was due at Port of Spain yes terday morning and carried enough fuel to stay in the air four hours beyond its scheduled flying time for the 2,600-mile trip to Trinidad. The last word from it was a ra dioed flight report heard at Bar reiras in Brazil’s Bahi State — a town nearly 900 miles north of Rio. The routine report said all was well. Its remaining route lay over barren plateaus and thick jungles to Belem at the mouth of the Am azon, then along the Northern Atlantic Coast of ‘South America to Trinidad. Leaders Of Riot Secretly Moved JACKSON, Mich.,, April 30 — (AP) — Riot leaders Earl Ward and Jack Hyatt and another mu tineer ~ were removed in secret from the troubled state prison of Southern Michigan today as a “precautionary measure.” Warden Julian Frisbie said the three were removed shortly after midnight and taken to three sepa rate and unidentified county jails.

Holmes Baldridge, chief govern ment attorney, immediately filed notice of appeal, The next step presumably will invelve a government request to the U. S. Court of Appeals to over turn Pine’s decision. Paralyzing Strike Meanwhile the Truman admin istration sought with alarmed ur gency to halt a paralyzing steel strike set in motion by Judge Pine’s historic ruling. A majority. of the 650,000 CIO United Steei workers streamed out of the steel mills in swift reaction to the court decision. Judge Pine, in his blistering opinion, called the government seizure. “illegal” and denied what he termed a presidential claim of “unlimited and unrestrained” power. Enforces Embargo With the vast steel industry shutting down overnight, the gov ernment slapped an embargo on shipments of steel from ware houses to producers of civilian goods and to foreign countries. The National Production Au thority issued the order within two hours of Pine’s decision in a move to conserve the supplies on hand until it lgiitemﬁned wheth er they have to be diverted from civilian to military use. . Qutside of the courts, one fur ther course was open to Truman: to invoke the Taft-Hartley law. Philip Murray, president of the Steelworkers Union and the CIO, sought to nip such a move in ad vance, saying the union already has complied with Taft-Hartley provision, Murray declared the strike . would continue until the workers get a contract along the lines recommended by the Wage Stabilization Board. No Choice Left Murray announced that the steelworkers had no choice but to “cease work immediately,” with the usual arrangements for safe guarding steel company property. Pickets appeared at the giant mills—first in the Chicago area, then at Pittsburgh and other cen=- ters of the billion-dollar industry. At Pittsburgh, Walter Klis, pres ident of Steelworkers Local 1227, declared: “This is it. We are prepared to stay out indefinitely.” Klis added: “This is all the re sult of Congress not having guts enough to back up Truman.” And at Birmingham, Ala., Pres ident F. N. Huey of Local 1013 asserted: “This is a fight between U. S. Steel and the U. S. A, We're going to find out which is the biggest.” GROUP HEARS ALUMNI Phi Kappa literary society at the University of Georgia will observe Alumni Night tonight.
