Leaders Meekly
Move Quarters
By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN
KOJE ISLAND June 13 —(AP)
—Brig. Gen. Haydon L. Boatner
said today he has cracked the re
sistance of Koje Island’s 80,000
once-defiant Red war prisoners.
Communist-let POWs knuckled
under four times today to United
Nations authority. Boatner, the
tough prison camp commander,
then suspended for two or three
days operations to break up the
large groups of prisoners. This was
to permit construction of new en
closures. o
Resistance Ebbing
Boatner would not go so far as
to say that all resistance is ended.
But it is “definitely on the ebb
and I believe the woist is over,”
he told a newsman. ;
“I would not be at all surprised
at some future incidents .... butl
have plans to cope with them.”
Three prisoner compounds bow
ed meekly to Allied authority.
Then prisoners in another, No. 85,
responded to an ultimatum by
Boatner and surrendered 21 anti-
Communist prisoners.
“I want no speeches,” the hard
pitten commander told five Red
compound leaders. “Get back to
that compound and release those
men by 5 p. m.” .
At 4:55, the leaders delivered
the 21 to the compound gate. Three
of the 21 dashed their Red-starred
caps to the ground in what has
come to be a gesture of anti-
Communism on Koje.
All 21 told of being starved.
beaten and tied. Nine were in such
bad shape they were taken to the
camp hospital. Two had to be
lifted to a truck for removal, said
Lt. Col. Walter M. Redden of An
niston, Ala., commander of a val

French, British
Want Sessions
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, June 13—(AP).
The Western Big Three Powers
were reported seeking final agree
ment among themselves today on
th precise conditions under which
they would be willing to discuss
German issues with Russia.
State Department officials said
after talks between Secretary
Acheson and the British and
French ambassadors here that
there was no basic disagreement
on the subject of a Big Four meet
ing “provided ecertain conditions
are met.” They did not specify the
conditions, but declared that none
of the three Western powers was
willing to agree to a session on
Soviet-dictated.-terms. :
’ New Notes
The need for agreement among
the three arises from the fact that
the latest Western note in a long
series of exchanges with Moscow
is now in preparation. The Rus
sians have been insisting on a Big
Four session to take up the uni
fication of Germany and the prep
aration of a German peace ireaty.
In previous notes, the Western
powers have insisted that prior to
a discussion of these fundamental
problems the four nations should
agree upon a United Nations or
other “impartial” investigation of
the opportunity for free elections
thoughout Eastern and Western
Germany.
When work on the projected
new Western note started, Wash
ington, Paris and London reviewed
their positions and came up with
suggestions as to what they should
tell the Russians this time.
French Favor Meet
The French have been reported
favoring an offer to meet with the
Russians at an early date provid
ed the conference would be limit
ed to the conditions for holding
free elections in Germany and the
circumstances in which the unifi
cation would be effected. 5
There have been some indica
tions that the British also would
be willing to make such a propo
sition but the United States has
been represented as not favoring
a meeting until agreement is
reached with Russia on making
and impartial inquiry into politi
cal conditions throughout Ger=
many. :
Athens To Host
DAY Convention
Athens has been selected as the
1953 convention city for the Dis
abied American Veterans of Geor
gia, it was announced this morn
ing by the Chamber of Commerce.
The DAV met in Athens previ
ously in 1950 and the convention
was such a success that it was de
cided to return again next year.
The convention will probably be
held in May or June and it is ex
pected to bring several hundred
veterans and their wives for the
meeting.
The Athens invitation was ex
tended by W. W. Deßaugrine, who
has just returned from the 1952
convention.

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST CEORGIA OVER A CENTURY,
House Will Consider Legislation Designed
To Extend Expiring Wage-Price-Rent Control
Government’s Present Authority &
Will Expire Midnight, June3o
WASHINGTON, June 13. — (AP) — The House today
had two bills to continue expiring wage-price-rent controls,
one passed by the Senate and the other approved by its
own House Banking Committee.
The government's present au
thority for all anti-inflation curbs
expires at midnight June 30, two
weeks from Monday.
The Senate bill, passed 58 to 18
and sent to the House yesterday,
would - extend this power eight
months to next Feb. 28. It also
would add a full year-until June
30, 1953~ to authority for credit
checks and allocation of scarce
materials to industry.
The House legislation, a one
year extension to June 30, 1953,
was reported favorably b{y a 15 to
3 banking committee véte. But it
would end all curbs on consumer
and real estate credit, a point at
adds with the one-year extension
of credit restrictions voted by the
Senate. ’
Seeks Prompt Action
Rep. Spence (D-Ky), chairman
of the committee, said he expects
promnt action on the House bill
derute probably beginning Wed
ne(siday and winding up by week’s
end. 00l
In final action on the measure
last night, the committee added
no major provisions which had
not previously been approved. Its
most important action reportedly
was a new provision, adopted 17
to 5, to drop a price regulation
requiring certain reports from
dealers who sell at below-ceiling
prices. :
The Senate action was swift aft
er efforts to tack on amendments
bearing on the steel strike were
abandoned. The bill ag it stands
contains a request to President
Truman that he invoke the 80-day
anti-strike injunction - provisions
of the Taft-Hartley law in the
steel dispute.
Varied Versions
The Senate measure generally
would continue control authority
about as is, but for eight months
instead of the two years the Presi
dent had asked. The House version
is for one year. This and any other
conflict between . the two bills
would have to be worked out at a
Senate-House conference, if the
House approves the banking com
mittee version.
One change voted by the Senate
should limit dispute-settling pow
ers of the wage Stabilization
Bbard, whose steel proposals
evoked considerable criticism *in
Congress.
The WSB, under the change,
could enter a labor controversy
only if both sides asked and if
the Federal Mediation Service said
all its remedies had failed. Also,
its powers would be limited to
wage and other money issues. It
would not, for example, recom
mend the controversial union shop,
which require all of a company’s
employes to join the union repre
senting them in bargaining nego
tiations.

Lyndon House
Serves Big Need
By R. H. DRIFTMIER, JR.
Back in 1938, during the pre
war days of the Roosevelt admin
istration, the WPA bought the old
Lyndon mansion on Hoyt street
for the purpose of converting it
into a recreation center for the
city of Athens.
In 1940, tbe city bought it and
the Lyndon House has been in
continuous operation ever since.
During the war it was used to
entertain the soldiers who were
on leave or just passing through
to points unknown. It has been re
modeled, redecorated, and expand
ed. But its purpose is still the
same—to provide the young peo
ple of Athens with a center of
well supervised recreation.
Since its origin over a decade
ago, the Lyndon House has been
under the devoted directorship of
one of Athens’ most beloved recre
ation leaders, Mrs. Roberta Elliott.
Mrs. Elliott, through her love and
understanding for young people, is
largely responsible for the pro
gress and development of the Lyn
don House playground activities.
Serves a Need
This community center is con
tinuing to serve a great need. It is
not generally understood that this
building and the grounds are used
by the entire community and not
just the surrounding area.
Children visiting Lyndon House
Playground are offeved a variety
of activities for their enjoyment.
At the present time, the summer
program is in full swing. Just the
other day a host of children en
joyed a picnic under the big shade
trees on the grounds. Visitors
thought it a wonderful sight to
see the boys and girls running
around, laughing and shouting,
stopping every so often for a big
bite of a delicious sandwich or to
gulp down a cool drink.

Murray Informs
Aides On Issues
Of Steel Strike
PITTSBURGH, June 13—(AP).
President Philip Murray of the
striking CIO United Steelworkers
told his policy making aides today
that the union shop issue is only
one of four obstacles holding up
settlement of the 12-day-old steel
strike.
Murray, who also heads the
union’s parent CIO, declared the
steel wage-price dispute has be
come a politigal football.
The silvery haired labor leader
told a joint strategy session of the
USW executive board and wage
policy cdommittee:
“I do not profess to know how
long the struggle strike will last.”
Rising Ovation
He was given a rising ovation
when he said it is his purpose to
“carry out your mandate and the
mandate of the last convention.”
He referred to a resolution
adopted at the union’s convention
last May which urged a settlement
based on recommendations of the
Wage Stabilization Board.
The WSB recommended a 26~
cent hourly raise for steelworkers
now earning an average of be
tween $1.90 and $2 an hour and
also called for a union shop.
Murray listed these issues as
blocking a final settlement:
Peace Blacks
1. The steel industry’s insistence
on a management clause in any
new contract. Murray said such a
clause, defining management’s
rights, would allow companies to
launch speedups. # S
2. The question of seniority.
Murray said U. S. Steel Corpora
tion wanted all seniority questions
resolved to its satisfaction.
3. Incentive pay. The labor chief
declared U. S. Steel Corporation

To Talk Issues
GETTYSBURG, Pa. June 13 —
(AP) — Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower provided a picnic atmosp
here today for the job of woolni
Gov. John 8. Fine and the pivota
Pennsylvania Republican dele
gation into his presidential camp.
The five-star general threw open
his 189-acre farm on the fringe of
his historic Civil War battleground
for a shirt-sleeves outing with the
Keystone State’s 70 delegates and
their alternates.
Eisenhower’s first face- to- face
meeting with the bulk of the dele
gation will follow a pattern he
adopted in New York. g‘hat is of
fering himself for questioning on
issues involved in the presidential
race.
Although newsmen have been
invited to the farm, they have
been asked to leave during the
questioning.
Key Figure
Fine, a key figure in the GOP
president-picking picture, so far is
uncommitted to any eandidate. A
poll of the delegation which he
heads shows 20 favoring FEisen
hower, 18 for Sen. Rebert A. Taft
of Ohio and 82 undeeided but in
clined to follew Fine's leadership.
The Pennsylvania governor ar
ranged for the politicking picnic at
the request of Eisenhower leaders.
He is also setting x:ip similar meet
ings in behalf- of Taft. Times and
places have yet to be fixed.
Backgrounding the picnic meet
ing is a report that Fine is a %)arty
to negotiations to weld the Pen
nsylvania, Michigan and Mary
land delegations into a harmony
bloc with potent voice in picking
the GOP presidential nominee.
Gov. Theodore McKidin of Mary
land said last night he already
has been approached on the pro
position, ostensibly by a Fine em
issary. The Pennsylvania governor
so far has disclaimed knowledge
