TSP reri n ndgTE olti:ct aio scn iss m \Varied Emotions Lange In Voles Through Nafion By The Associated Press Voting that ranged from calm in Connecticut to tumultuous in Texas tightened both the Republi can and Democratic races for presidential - nominating votes to day (Wednesday). reuding Texans started out with ‘wo conventions yesterday and vwound up with four. Each put up Jelegations to the national con entions in July at Chicago, where ihe question of which to recognize must be dezided. Connecticut’s Republican con vention at Hartford named a 22- yote delegation and, in Florida, Pemocrats in a primary elected a delecation with 24 votes. Ike Climbing The upshot, General Dwight Ticenhower palled within 22 votes o/ Ohin Senator Robert Taft in the nonublican presconvention vote cthering. Senator Richard Russell of Georgia apparently jumped ahead of second-running W. Aver ¢l Harriman in the Democratic [lence, the Associated Press tabulation of nationwide delegate «trencth — based on concessions, vledges, instructions and avowed preferences—now shows: Republican — Taft 404, Eisen hower 382. Nominating requires 604. Democratic—Senator Estes Ke fauver of Tennessee 122, Russell 8615, Harriman 85%. Nomination needs 616. Florida Fight ; Florida Democrats divided their 24 convention votes apparently on the basis of 19 for Russell and five for Kefauver. Primary returns pointed that way, but were coming in slowly and could change the spread. Texas Republicans met at a Mineral Wells convention to name a 38-vote delegation, Many Eisen hower backers were denied seats at the meeting;-and they walked out and set up their own state gathering. ' While the Taft-dominated con vention picked a delegation lined up 35 for Taft and three for Eisen hower, the other meeting named its own delegation—33 for Eisen hower and five for Taft. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., of Massachusetts, Eisenhower campaign manager, conrplained: “Political trickery.” Taft-backer Henry Zweifel, Texas GOP nat ional committeeman, said the Ilisenhower supporters in Texas vere reallv Democrats who had never voted Republican before. Fists Flew At San Antonio, fists flew when loval Demoerats bolted the Demo cratic convention, to name their wn 32-vote group. The conven tion, guided firmly by Governor Allan Shivers, named an unin tructed delegation. Shivers, a bitter critic of the Truman administration, favors RNussell. Of the walk-out group, any like Kefauver and others vor House Speaker Sam Ray burn of Texas. Taft, just back from a campaign - South Dakota, told a reporter ' Washington the seating of dis puted Southern delegations will be - to the national convention. “I think a fair decision will be made,” he added. lowa Democrats and Alabama Republicans were naming conven tion delegates today—24 In lowa and four in Alabama. Four district delegates, expected ‘0 be split equally between Taft ‘nd Eisenhower, will be chosen in Alabama. Six other district dele -ates already have been picked. "he 14-vote delegation will be ‘ompleted tomorrow with at-large ‘clegate elections at a Birming am convertion. . a . “ard-Working tien Succumbs CUDWORTH, England, May 28 (AP)—World titlist Jennifer—the n that laid 10 eggs in less than hour—was dead today from overwork, The pink-eyed prolific chicken hadn't produced for farmer Char '« Rogers for days.

LONG ROME, May 28—(AP)—Fierce ly nationalist fascism, soaring in new returns from last weekend’s local elections, challenged com munism today as Italy’s second strongest political force. The rapidly rising party is the Italian Social Moveifient (MSI), which believes in Mussolini’s cor porate state in open defiance of Italian constitutional bans on re surgent fascism. Monarchist Partners It teamed with the diehard Ital ian Monarchist party—whose pre war King played straight man for Il Duce—to pull the biggest sur prise of the Sunday-Monday elec tions in 2,400 Italian towns and 26 provinces. - : While Premier Alcide de Gas peri’s pro-Western Christian Dem ocratic government majority bloe was winning in Rome—the biggest prize—the MIS-Monarchist alli ance seized control of two rich consolations. The rightwing hookup captured both the provincial and city coun cils of Naples, where NATO head quarters for Southern Europe is located, and Bari, through which much U, S. arms aid funnels to Italy. Still incomplete results from the 2,400 towns at stake showed the Christian Democrat bloc and won 523, the Communists-Socialist al liance 189 and the neo-Fascist- Monarchist 65. Lost Ground Though they held Rome, De Gasperi’'s pro-NATO bloc lost ground even there, With 150,000 more persons voting than in the 1948 national election, the vote— Christian Democrats 384,020, Com-~ munists 314,243, neo - Fascists- Monarchists 206,819—represented a loss of 70,000 for the govern ment, gains of 50,000 for the Reds and 150,000 for the rightists. Britain H 0f Red Build LONDON, May 28. — (AP) — Lord Alexander, Britain’s De fenise Minister, said today Comr munist forces in North Korea have been almost doubled since the cease fire talks began last July. He said the Communist forces now are not far short of one mil lion men com.pared with just over 5000,000 last July. He added that the reinforcements were mostly Chinese. Used Advantage “The Communist forces have taken full advantage of the lull in the fighting to reinforce, reorgan ize and re-equip their armies,” he told the House of Lords. “At the same tinre the enemy’s strength in armor’and artillery has steadily mounted, and they are believed to have over 500 tanks and self-propelled guns,” Alexan der said. “There have been large . in creases in the numbers of anti aircraft and anti-tank guns, heavy mortars and field artillery, and rocket launchers have also made their appear‘ance"’ Built Up Supplies Alexander said that despite the air superiority of the United Na tions over the battle area the Communists have been able to build up large stocks of supplies in the last ten months. “There has been a marked in crease in the size of the enemy air forces which have about 1,800 air craft comvared with some 1,000 aireraft last July,” said Alexan der. ; . “About 1,000 of these are jet fighters, mostly MIG-15’s.” Policemen Hunt Socialife’s Kille I.OS ANGELES, May 28—(AP). Police today tried to trace the re cent movements of an attractive 34-year-old Hollywood socialite who was found dead in an alley, victim of an abortion. Autopsy surgeon Victor Cefaul said the illegal operation on Pa tricia Steele was performed either Sunday or Monday. The body was found vesterday in a neighborhood several miles from Miss Steele’s luxurious Hol lywood Boulevard apartment. Miss Steele’s physician, Dr. Louis J. Klingball, said she was four months pregnant and added she told him she was going “to do something about it.” The woman’s father, financier Victor H. Steele, said she returned a month ago from a three-month stay in Hawali. His daughter had been restless, traveling much of the time since the death of her fiance, a Marine lieutenant, in the war-time invasion of the Mar= shall Islands, Steele said. MARTIAL LAW EASED PUNSAN, Korea, May 28— (AP)—The South Korean Nat jonal Assembly today lifted in fmrt the martial law which Pres dent Syngman Rhee had pro claimed Saturday. By a vote of 96-8 the Assembly abolished the army rule over this temporary capital. It let the presi dent's decree stand throughout the rest of three Southern prov inces. It was anoiher round in the -tru.‘gc for power between Rhee and the Assembly.

The government is expected to an nounce tonight ceiling price boosts of about a penny each for a wide range of food items. That's how much the Office of Price Stabilization estimated the increases would bring to the gro cer—although it said the nation’s food bill would go up about 100 million dollars a year under the neéw ceilings. The OPS order will authorize higher margins for all retail food stores—both chains and independ ents. Necessary Action OPS officigls said the action is necessary because earnings of the grocers have declined. : Affected by the higher margins and ceilings will be some of the items in this wide range of foods: Dry cereals, canned vegetables and soups, pickles, vinegar, olives, most canned meats and processed fish such as smoked fish and her ring, oleomargarine, cookies and crackers, frozen foods, jams and jellies, canned fruits and others. Tuna and salmon are not includ ed. Penny Increase OPS officials said for the most part the increases would run about a penny per item. On some larger cans or items and on more expensive quality foods the high= er margins can mean ceiling rises of 2 cents or slightly more. Al though overall margins will be higher, they said in some cases it may not mean an increase on an individual item. . Wildlife Meet Ends On Campus The University of Georgia’s first Wildlife Conservation Conference ended at noon today with Associ ate Dean Paul W. Chapman, of the College ot Agriculture, pleased with “the success of the meeting and the enthusiasm of those at tending.” Speaking to some 300 members attending the Tuesday evening ses sion of the conference Dr. Frede~ rick Lincoln of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington, D. C., stated that “people in this country spent approximately $97,- 000,000 in 1951 getting ready to go fishing or hunting.” Sporting Interest He used this figure to illustrate the tremendous interest in hunt ing and fishing, and he pointed out that the money was spent for lic- ense, taxes on guns, ammunition and fishing tackle, and for other neaded equipment. Adding to this cost figure the money spent for transportation, lodging, guide fees, and a host of other expenses, makes the sportman’s business a huge in dustry, he stated. : Continuing, he pointed out that the game and wildlife resources that make 30,000,000 United States citizens spend high sums each year constitute a-valuable part of our economy. e Dr. Lincoln gave an optimistic report on the progress of wildlife and game management. “Today,” he said, “our fish and wildlife are very ably managed by both state and federal agencies. For instance, last year some 8,000,000 plants of bicolor lespedeza were set out for wildlife feed in Georgia alone, and the planting goal for 1952 is 10,000,000 plants.” At the Wednesday morning ses sion H. 8. Swingle, Auburn, Ala bama, fish eulturist, told the group that approximately one-half of the plant nutrients added to Georgia solls each year wash away in heavy rains. Me said that there must be additional emphasis placed on conservation work it solls and farm ponds are to pro duce maximum égtur‘pg.

Russell surged to a 19-to-5 lead today over Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee in their bitter contest for Florida’s 24 votes in the Democratic president ial nominating convention, Slow returns from yesterday's primary voting pointed to Russell backers sweeping 14 of 16 congres sional district delegate seats amd capturing possibly five of the eight delegate-at-large ?osts. This was based on returns from more than 1,100 of the 1,682 precincts. Kefauver had taken an early lead in first returns last night o vete s delegote “«.c.*‘u“‘*.u. eavy vo e received in Dade, ﬁ.iami, ounty. But then Russell forged te the front on later returns from across the state. o i w. ilhil at-large candidate, Mrs. M. B. Fuller of Bunnell, had takan the lead from a Kefauver candidate, Ann B, Miller of Tax::_fa. Russell had predicted before the primar; he would win no less than 18 of Florida’s nominating votes. Three weeks ago he won an 82,000 vote victory over Kefauver in the state’s presidential popula.ity con test to %ive the coonskin cap wearing Tennessean his first pri-| mary defeat. | Eighteen convention delegates would shove Russell within one vote of presidential candidate W. Averell Harriman who has 83%% delegates in the latest Associated‘ Press tabulation. Kefauver tops the Democratic list with 117 dele~ gates. Kefauver won both delegates which includes Dade, Miami, and Monroe, Key West, counties. These two counties were Kefauver strongholds in his popularity con test with Russell. The Georgian held solid advantages in the other seven districts.

McCarty’s GOP opponent in Nov ember will be Harry $. Swan of Miami but the Republican has vir tually no chance since his party is outnumbered 14 to 1 in Florida. Two candidates among the 84 running for delegate seats pledged support to Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower and Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur even though both the gen erals are Republicans.

Baruch told senators today that more than 20 billion dollars is being wasted on the de fense program. He urged a broad overhauling of the multi-billion dollar defense effort with emphasis on faster production of aircraft, tanks, guns, and other weapons of war, Baruch, 81-year-old financier and ex-adviser to presidents, tes tified at an open hearing of the Senate preparedness subcommit tee. Baruch joined forces with mem bers of Congress who have been urging greater air power, to r:ixatch and outstrip Soviet Rus sla’s. Hit At Truman Through a series of guestions, Baruch took pot shots at Presi dent Truman, the State Depart ment and others on dilomatic, de fense and domestic issues. Without mentioning Truman by name Baruch protested the White House decision to delay or stretch out the program for a 143-wing air force, And he opposed bringing West ern Germany into the North At lantic Treaty Organization until Western Europe is armed and able “to forestall any Soviet coup.” “To slow the rearming of West ern Europe and at the same time begin negotiations over Germang is to put not one foot but bot feet into a Soviet trap,” Baruch said. He also questioned the adminis tration decision to build xx) pro ductive capacity of aircraft, gun, ammunition and other defense plants rather than speed produc tion of the actual weapons. Viectory Impessible “No decisive victory in the cold war is possible as long as the Soviets hold as terrifying an edge in military readiness over the wlo;t as they do today,” he said. said. Baruch sald the waste of de fense billions resulted from failure to put into operation the vast K:. ‘tem of anti-inflation controls t Congress voted after the Korean outbreak, “These powers were not used for months during which living costs soared, all savings were cheapened and the real purchas ing power of every defense dollar was slashed by one-fifth,” he said, adding: “Thig needless inflation already has cost us 12 ‘billion dollars in higher costs of defense and is likely to exact another 10 billion dollars in needless tribute over the next fiscal year.” Baruch did not explain his use of the word “tribute.” Big Barbecue Is Set For Today Not quite a hundred tickets for the big barbecue at Oconee Street Methodist Church this afternoon from 5:30 until 7:30 p. m. remain unsold, and these will be sold at the 'cue as long as they last. Preparations have been made for 500 persons and that number of tickets were printed. Normally the ‘cue would have bheen a sell-out long ago due to the fact that it is being prepared by Athens Firemen and Charlie Bridges. However, with the Wild Life Club having a barbecue last night, the Touch down Club tonight and the Civitan Club of Watkinsville also giving one today some tickets have re mained unsold. However, these will more than likely be sold dur ing the afternoon, or at the ‘cue. Price of tickets lis $1.50 for grown-ups and 75 cents for chil dren. The reader will still have plenty of time to get to the church and ‘cue after seeing this story. Masons Confer . Degrees Tonight A called communication will be held by Mt.

LINDBERG PROBE SOUGHT WASHINGTON, May 28-—(AP). Two Illinois congressmen want the House to investigate why Charles A. Lindbergh's services to the government hav not been more widely publicized. Reps.

In a joint statement they said the Roosevelt . administration “tarn ished” Lindbergh’s reputation, "~ Read Daily by 35,0 eop A _—W Shoot-To-Kill Orders Issued By RICHARD K. OMALLEY BERLIN, May 28—(AP)—Com= munist East Germany tightened its squeeze on blockade-threatened Berlin another notch today. Or ders went out to Red polie2 to shoot to kill anyone caught with out a proper pass in the Iron Cur tain’s new three-mile noman's land along the West German bor der, Revenge Moves The shooting order was the la test in a series of revenge moves against the Bonn government’s al liance with the siest. It all but sealed off the Communist.-dg'lrt former capital, which trembled in fear of resumption of the 1948-49 siege, The Russians contained their ban on Allied military patrols traveling the 110-mile gerlin— Helmstedt Autobahn, sole high way link between the isolated city and the West, Regular civilian traffie eontin ued to flow normally, but a new formula for transit visas adopted by the Reds yesterday could choke off traffic between West Berlin aind the Bonn republic at any time. The Russians also let a jeep escorted three-truck U. 8. Army convoy use the highway and an American officer said: “Apparent= ly they don’t mind through travel but for some reason object to our patrols going up and down ‘their’ road.” In Paris the Big Three Western powers said they would regard ag gression against Berlin as a threat to their own security, Cancels Agreement The new visa formula tears up an agreement between the West ern Powers and Russia whioh had allowed West Berlin and West German autherities to issue Inter zonal passes for transit travel through the Russian zone in either direction, The move had the following sig nificance: 1. Every truck driver, railroad employe or canal barge operator traveling through the ares is at East Germany’s mercy. 2. The 2,200,000 West Berliners can be virtually cut off #rom tra vel into or through the surround ing Soviet zone. Yesterday the Red German re gime cut all telephone service be tween Berlin and the Russian sec-~ tor, and some long distance lines to the West, The visa formula requires all Germans to get an East Gﬂ‘ﬁll! permit before stepping on the Rus sian zone sail which eovers the 100 miles between Berlin and the West. Commenting on the latest Red moves, a senior Allied offi cial said: Tough Arrangement “They have now arrenged things se that we have the alternative of slowly watchh:g West Berlin wither away, put the entire place on the dole relief or start up an airlift (as was done in 1948-49). If they claim the skies above their heads, too, that’s it.” The Communists apparently rea son that the Bonn paet throws out the Potsdam agreement of 1945 which set up the rights West Berlin enjoyed in its relations with the West. ¥ » R ; G :';:;.;:;&::;zg;@%’: R e R g o e e ol & LT e : : b B R o A i v b i T ,@ﬁ e 1-51"5 i, SR Bt o O G, congn i et G N ; «'"‘é " mo 3{ i G 2 PRI Bt # v% e R s S SR 2 ” G G s s & g T et b b R B S i R R % R RO ) s o R e O ST e e S e b A ,;f:;::az:-;;;;,; % SR R s R R R G e s B, Rs e e A OR O i gl d a 8 % G b o e SR kg e s ?\f;&)ﬂ : oi4o B N R SR e SN ;69 . .g}‘*g v S BN i e AT e S . . v B N CLIFFORD TUCK Newly elected head of the Optimist Club here.
