Acheson Delays ° Planned Meetings BONN, Germany, May 24 (AP) —The French gummed up newly attained agreements on the West German peace contract and the unified European army today by demanding a series of fresh con cessions as their price for signing. Refuse To Sign The Paris gabinet, ever appre hensive at the idea of a rearmed Germany, instructed Foreign Min ister Robert Schuman to refuse to sign the accords as scheduled next week unless certain special con ditions are met. These conditions were not made public, but unofficial Allied sources here said the United States and Britain, as well as Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s West German government, were targets. U. S. Secretary of State Acheson and British Foreign Secretary An thony Eden, here with Schuman ifor the projected signing of the West German contract Monday, spent hours trying to compose the differences among the Big Three. Postpone Meeting . Twice they posponed a sche duled meeting with Adenauer on the peace contract, due to give West Germany virtual sovereignty in return for her aid in the West ern defense partnership. Finally, without announcing the outcome of their arguments, they called in the chancellor, Aden auer met with the group two hours. Spokesmen said there would be other meetings tonight and tomorrow,. e ‘ Allied sources said Schuman (’ was under orders from his govern ‘mentto eall for; . = : 1. A stronger British-American guarantee to keep the Germans from ever breaking out of the Furopean Defense Community EDC, the six-nation group that plans to set up a million-man army including 400,000 Germans, 2. Guarantees form the United States and Britain of non-inter ference in French-ruled Tunisia and Morocco, where independ ence movements have drawn in ternational attention, ¢ 3. More financial aid from the United States to help build up French forces in the North Atlan tic Treaty Alliance so they would not be outstripped by a rearmed West Germany. 4. Continued German financial support for French troops station~ ed in Germany until the European army becomes a fact. 5. Continued Allied controls on German industrial output. Squeeze Play The timing of the French move gave it the appearance of a diplo matic squeeze play. Adenauer’s government, which had troubles at home in agreeing to the terms it did, had completed all arrangements to sign the treaty (Continued On Page Six) Athenian Named To Art Group The following article was pub lished in the Mexico City Colle gian, Mexico.

At stake was at least one life and possibly more, because a desperate, hunted man, armed and prepared to sell his life dearly, was attempting to match wits against a small army of law en forcement officers and a larger number of civilian possemen. It all started Saturday morning shortly after nine o'clock when the man walked into the Bank of Crawford, intent on a hold-up. Suspicious Actions #Cashier W. M. Faust told the Banner-Herald he noticed the man walking about the lobby of the bank, “bumping” into people. When he looked again, Mr. Faust’ said he could see the man had a gun and the gun was peinting his He stepped quickly back into the office of the bank president, E. H. Furcron and said: “There’s a man out here with a gun.” Mr, Furcron reached in a desk drawer for his own weapon and at that time the man fired, the bullet inflicting a flesh wound in the arm of the bank official. At the same time Mrs. Itice Epps, bookkeeper, pushed a button that tripped an automatic tear gas apparatus and the would-be bandit rushed from the bank to the car he had left in front, motor run ning. It was later discovered that the car, a 1949 DeSoto, had been stolen in Columbia, S.

As young réaders complete books on their summer reading lists, they will plant green sponge trees on a large Georgia map, and at the end of the summer reading sessions, the champion readers will receive real trees to plant in real Georgia soil, . Summer Reading Each year about this time, stu dents in the schools of Clarke, Oglethorpe and Oconee counties pegin to lay plans for vacation reading club activities, made available through cooperation of Athens Regional Library and the local school systems on the ex tended school program. Summer reading projects are usually based on a theme, and this year, through cooperation of the State Depart ment of Education and the Geor gia Forestry Commission, “Keep Georgia Forests Green” is the central idea of the program. Recruits will be signed on at the library branches following close of school. Friday, May 30 will open registration. Each stu dent who wishes to participate in the reading program will be pro vided a “reading record,” and as he reads, book titles and authors will be entered on the card. In cluded on the reading list this year are “Story of the Forest.” “rrees for Tomorrow,” and ‘“You and Forest Fire.” Mapped Progress Large maps of the state of Geor gia will be kept in library branch es, and as readers complete books, they will “plant” trees on the maps. At the end of the summer, certificates will be issued to all readers who complete 10 books. Gold seals will be awarded readers of 25 or more books, And, ship ments of pine trees will be pro vided through the county agents in the three-county area, five trees going to the readers of 10 books, and additional trees going to read ers of 25 or more books. Reading lists are selected ac cording to age groups. Last year, 797 young readers in the Athens Regional Library area re,g,eived certificates’ 218, gold seals. SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA OVER A CENTURY. e Rayburn Attifude For Candidacy Seems Recepfive WASHINGTQN, May 24—(AP) —An unprecedented action this week strengthened a belief in Congress that House Speaker Sam Rayburn may become a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. The action was a speech by Rayburn strongly supporting the administration’s foreign-aid pro gram. It was unusual in that for the first time in the memory of correspondents, Rayburn spoke from a prepared text distributed in advance so newsmen. The Texas legislator seldom ad dresses the House, never from a prepared text. It was a 30-minute speech, but Rayburn spoke for only about 10 minutes and put the rest of the address in the Congressional Rec~ ord, Deeply Concerned His explanation of the deviation from his past practice was that he felt strongly about the foreign-aid issue and wrofe a long speech fully expressing his views so they could become a matter of written record. While Rayburn repeatedly has emphasized that he is not a can didate for the presidential nomi= nation, he has brushed off inquir ies about his availability if he were nonrinated. His close political advisers say that if Rayburn is nominated, there is no doubt that he would accept, Because he will be permanent chairman of the Democratic con= vention, he cannot become iden tified with any candidate now in the running. His job at Chicago is to be an umpire over convention proceedings. Colleagues Are Busy But collpagues working in his behalf aren’t loafing. They claim to have received assurances of support for Rayburn from 84 of the first 85 Democratic House members polled recently. These members supposedly are doing spadework in their honves states, among the politicians who will have a lot to say at Chicago. The “Rayburn - for - President” group believes no candidate now in the field or mentioned as a pos sible contender will have enough votes to win the mnomination in the early balloting. That's when they expect to move in and start what they hope will be a Rayburn landslide. Some of them contend that President Truman himself (Continued On Page Six) Wildlife Meet Planned Here Conner Hall on the University Ag campus will be the meeting place for the Georgia Wildlife Conference on Tuesday and Wed nesday of this week.

While no official forecast of this year’s production has been made yet, Agriculture Department experts estimate that between 20 and 25 million bushels of early crop potatoes should move to the market in June, The nation consumes an average of about 23% million bushels a month. Reasons For Shortage The shortage developed be cause: 1. Production of late 1951-crop potatoes — those grown in North ern states for the nation’s sup plies for the following winter and spring—was short. 2. Harvest of this year's early crop — grewn in Southern states and California — has been later than usual, Now that the shortage soon may be over, officials are casting an eye ahead for a possible repeat appearance a year from now. Sur veys made before the planting season indicated that there would be less land seeded to potatoes this year than last, Small 1951 Crop Last year's crop of 325 million bushels was 25 percent smaller than the previous year's harvest. Farmers reduced planting sharply because Congress withdrew price supports, roducers reported they were fearful of a severe price col lapse and many turned to more promising crops. In addition, un faverable weather held down the yield. The current shortage has been most severe in regions distant fromy major - production areas. Generally speaking, the Midwest has suffered the most, because it is farther from such production areas as Maine, Florida, Alaba ma, South Carolina and Califor nia than are the East and West coasts. Discouraged Production Grower critics report that gov ernment price ceilings — set up last winter when it became ap parent that supplies would be short this spring-——are tending to discourage production. The Agri culture Department has recom=- mended a crop«of 350 million bushels, an increase of 25 million over last year. | Kappa Delta Pi Plans Inifiation Dr. John Ansley Griffin, direc tor of Community Education Ser vice, Emory University, will make the principal address at the ban quet meeting of Kappa Delta Pi, honorary education fraternity, at the University of Georgia Monday night.
