Talks Of World Politics
Soviet Acti
By GUSTAV SVENSSON
STOCKHOLM, Sweden Juneld
(AP)—Traditionally neutral Swe
den, irate over the shooting down
of a Swedish plane by Soviet jet
fighters, beefed up her already
strong defense against Russia
today but was expected to still
fight shy of participation in such
Western alliances as the Atlantic
Pact.
The Swedish government
already has ordered a step-up in
air attack alertness throughout
the country and instructed its air
force and navy to shoot back if
fired on by Soviet planes. Neigh
horing Demark also told its air
men to return fire if attacked.
Swelish Foreign Minister Oes
ten Unden, cut short his Italian
vacation after the incident and
was due here by air from Rome
today. N
But political observers expres
sed doubt that Unden’s return
would result in any change in
Sweden’s long-held policy of
“freedom from alliances.”
- Rejected Protest
Sweden flatly rejected last night
a Russian protest that the ill
fated Catalina flying boat, blasted
from the air Monday over the
Baltic Sea with seven men aboard,
had flown over Soviet territory
and started the shooting.
The Swedish reply declared that
the only two Swedish planes op
erating in the area at the time
were two rescue flying boats, both
unarmed.
A “thorough-investigation” had
established that both stayed over
international waters and that the
downed plane never flew closer
than 15 miles from Soviet terri
tory, the note added. Russia claims
her territorial waters extend 12
miles beyond her shore.
Both Catalinas were searching
for a third Swedish plane missing
since last Friday with eight men
aboard and also feared to have
fallen victim to Russian guns.
Seek Reasons :
Many Swedes expressed the
feeling that attempts should be
made to~discover the reasons be
hind the Russian action, if pos
sible. s
The two. main theories here
were; R
1. Soviet jet fighter crews are
trigger-happy because they are un
der strict orders to keep outside
observers away from huge Russian
air-sea maneuvers now reportedly
being held in the Baltic; or
2. The Russiang are deliberately
conducting a scare campaign to
intimidate their Western neighbors
on the Baltic. ¢

WASHINGTON, June 19.—(AP)
—The Massachusetts’ Congres
sional delegation arranged today
to carry its opposition to a pro
posed néw General Electric Com
pany transformer plant at Rome,
Ga., to Defense Production Ad
ministrator Henry H. Fowler,
General Electric already has a
simvlar plant at Pittsfield, Mass.,
which Rep. Heselton (R.-Mass.)
told a reporter would be adversely
affected if one is built in Geor
gia.
General Electric has applied to
the Defense Production Adminis
tration for a 25 million dollar tax
amortization certificate for the
proposed Georgia plant. i)
Heselton took up the subject
with Rep. Lane (D.-Mass.), chair
man of a spegial committee on in
dustrial problems in Massachu~
setts.
The two conferred by telephone
with Fowler today, and requested
him to see the Massachusetts dele
gation. Fowler said his informa
tion on the case was incomplete
now but he would be happy to see
the group when all information is
available, He said he would no
tifly them when he is ready.
Heselton described the Massa
chusetts’ factory as Pittsfield’s
“big single industrial plant.” He
said the building of one in the
South undoubtedly would result in
a drop off of work at Pittsfield,
and additional heavy unemploy
ment,

Attend Barbecue
By VIRGINIA WOODALL
Banner - Herald City Editor
Although she epresents the
Distaff factirn o ’m“" the nations,
Mrs. Heather DMin"&¥ .ell, the Lon
don Pilots’ e®” < ' o the United
States, can & & 4 championship,
heavy-wei#™ %" at in a discussion
on interg® 4 politics.
The ,/* y built English wo
man N’ vas honor guest at the
Pi}* &’ barbecue on the Coun
ty © «awn last evening, told the
Bannt.-Herald reporter in an ex
clusive interview that she did not
feel too disturbed over the report
ed schism between the United
States and her homeland. She
pointed out that even among the
best of friends must come some
misunderstanding and criticisms
of each other. «
She did, however, take pause
when a question on the recent ap
pointment of Andrei Gromyko to
the Russian embassy in London
was put to her. Frowning slight
-Iy, she said;, “I don’t like it. It's
rather disturbing. But I believe
we're so used to Russian tactics
now, we should be able to handle
anything he should happen to dish
out. I am especially confident of
this fact when I realize that our
foreign affairs are in the compet=
ant hands of Anthony Eden.”
Distrubing Factor
Having spent a good deal of time
in the Orient during the last
War, Mrs. McConnell has found
the situation in the East a very
disturbing factor in international
relations. She feels, as do most lib
erals, that the Korean Parleys,
coupled with the prisoner riots,
and Syghman Rhee‘s recent ac
tions, have put some powerful
propaganda weapons into the
hands of the Communists. Elabora~
ting on President Rhee’s behavi
our in the Korean election situa=
tion, she said that she thinks he
has behaved in a “high handed
and dictatorial manner.” She re
marked that the people of the
West must build a bridge between
themselves and the east.
Mrs. McConnell further develop
ed that theme by noting that too
often we speak of the Western
Christian civilization as the only
antidote to Communism. But, she
added, there are millions in the
East, Buddhists, Hindus, Moslems,
Mohammedans, who, though not
Christians, still embrace religious
beliefs that would fio?permit them
to turn to Communism any more
than our doctrines would allow
us to follow Communist concepts.
The English “ambassadoress”
disclosed the fact that the people
of her county follow our internal
political situations closely. Of the
current crop of candiates, she said,
the English people know Eisen
hower best, and are therefore in
clined to follow his campaign with
avid interest.
Likes Georgia
Of Georgia, Mrs. McConnell re
marked, “I've fallen in love with
it. I wish everyone in England
could visit your state. We seem
to have so much in common.”
Noting the setting for the bar
becue, she pointed out that even
this “could be a corner of Eng
land.”
Following the barbecue dinner,
prepared for the Pilot Club by the
‘Athens Fire Department, Mrs. Mc-
Connell spoke briefly to local
Pilots and visiting members from
Elberton, Gainesville, Barnes
ville, Toccoa, Winder, Atlanta,
Tifton and Washington. Among the
guests was Elizabeth Green, Dis
trict Governor of the Pilot Club
from Atlanta.
Following .her tour ' through
Georgia, Mrs. McConnell will at
tend the annual convention of
Pilot International at Mackinac
Island on July 2.

Cost Of Living Is Due To Hit High
Mark, Bringing Rail Wage Increase
WASHINGTON, June 19.— (AP) —The government’s
latest cost-of-living barometer moved up today under pres
sure of rising food and rent costs to within a tiny fraction
of the record high reached last January.
The living-cost index, measur
ing prices of food, clothing, shel
ter and a host of other things
climbed during the month ending
May 15 two-tenths of one per cent
to 189 per cent of the 1935-39
average. That is 4.1 per cent over
the mark of 18 months ago when
price and wage controls took ef
fect. The peak figure last January
was 189.1.
Automatic Increase
A million and a quarter rail
workers will get an automatic
two-cent hourly wage boost as a
result of the latest increase in
living costs, Their work contract
ties wages to the cost-of-living
index and adjustments are made
each three months.
Another 100,000 wage earners
in textiles, aircraft and oil refin
ing industries also get at least a
one-cent boost.
Leading the over-all living-cost
rise was a boost of four tenths of
one per cent in rent across the
country. The price of food at the
grocery store moved up three
tenths of one per cent.
But the price of clothing, of
fuel and electricity and of house
furnishings all dropped fraction
ally.
Wine Ceilings Dropped
Although prices on most items
have climbed, Office of Price
Stabilization (OPS) officials an
nounced yesterday ceilings would
be suspended this weekend on bot
tled whiskey and wine. They have
been selling for months below
ceiling levels.
The price drop in these items
was attributed to big stocks and
lagging sales.
Carlisle Expects
Pro-Tem Spot
MACON, June 19—(AP)—Sen
ator-elect J. Douglas Carlisle of
Macon said today he has received
enough pledges of support from
other members of the new state
Senate to assure his election as
president pro-tem next January.
Carlisle said he received in the
mail this morning the last of the
pledges which assure the success
of his campaign. He said he
planned to write letters to the
Senators and tell them of the fact
and express his appreciation. .
“I've spent considerable time
on this of late, trying to get it be
hind me so I could practice law,”
Carlisle said.
The new senator for the slst
District was nominated by Bibb
County voters over Rep. W. Hor=-
ace Vandiver in the May 14 Demo
cratic primary, and the nomination
assures his election. He announced
his candidacy for the president
pro-tem post with the blessing of
Gov. Herman Talmadge shortly
after the primary.
Senator-elect William Dean of
Conyers also is seeking the fost
and he said this morning he plans
to stay in the race. He said he has
received good response and about
two-thirds of the senators have
told him they plan to wait awhile
before committing themselves.
“If Carlisle has enough pledges
for the job there are either more
than 54 senators or some of them
have changed their minds,” Dean
said.
Dean héld the post in 1947 when

Rent Prices Lead Over-all Cost

GOP Contenders
Go On Record
For Tax Slashes
By The Associated Press
The top GOP contenders for
presidential nomination were on
record today to cut taxes if elect
ed. The Democratic front-runner,
however, said isolationism would
“dominate their party if either gets
' to the White House.
Taxes were a topic in talks yes
terday by Ohio Sen. Robert Taft
and Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, run
ning one-two in the race for Re
publican presidential nimination.
They, in turn, were a topic in an
address by Sen. Estes Kefauver
of Tennessee, who has more dele
gate votes lined up than any of
his rivals going into the Demo
cratic presidential- nominating
convention.
Two-Year Plan
In Denver, Eisenhower told Ore
gon’s GOP convention delegates
he would balance the national
budget if he were President. This,
plus seeing to it that the Allies are
as militarily strong as Russia,
would make tax reduction pos
sible, he said. He estimated this
would take about two years and
after that would come a “steady
shrinkage” in the tax load.
Taft, in a Washington speech,
said that if he becomes Presidents,
he will seek ‘“a straight 15 per
cent cut in taxes” and a 25-billion
dollar slash in federal spending—
from 85 to 60 billions—within two
years. ;
Talking to CIO communications
workers in Cleveland, Kefauver
said:
“No matter what Republican is
in the White House, the Republi
can is’?htiqnist will dominate the
DALY, oegmemm ety o s
~ Kefauver said Taft and Eisen
hower may agree on foreign policy,
but he said he doubts Eisenhower
shares “the isolationist sentiments
of most of the leaders of his
party.” He added: “I don't think
that will do Gen. Eisenhower much
good.”
The Tennessean told newsmen
earlier he is confident of winning
th » presidential nomination at the
Demoncratic convention July 21
in Chicago. Perhaps on the first
ballot, he said, but more likely on
the fifth or gixth.
Harriman Confident
But Averell Harriman, who beat
Kefauver about 4-to-1 in the Dis
trict of Columbia’s primary Tues~
day, predicted just as confidently:
“I will win the nomination.” De
mocratic nomination requires 616
delegate votes. The Associated
Press pre-convention tally gives
246 to Kefauver. Sen. Richard
Russell is in second spot with
1141, followed by HRarriman’s
91%.
Taft's nationwide total of 466 is

fantasy with variations) by Doni
zetti-Servias.
Miss Williams will play six
preludes by Paul Bowles and two
preludes by Kabalevsky.,
Mr. Kratina and Miss Williams
will be heard in an interpretation
of Swan by Saint-Saens and Gav
otte by Popper to end the pro
gramy. Swen was one of the selec
tions which especially endeared
Mr. Kratina to his Athens audi
ence at his last solo appearance in
University Chapel.
Townspeople are reminded that

Adult Educati
Georgia Parent-Teacher Asso
ciation leaders were challenged
here today at their 30th annual
conference to go home and look to
their communities’ needs for adult
education.
President O. C. Aderhold of the
University of Georgia told over
300 attending the conference that
the American way of life must be
saved by adults. He said the ar
gument that we are providing for
the education of our children and
should not worry about adult edu
cation is false.
The problems which we as
adults have today and must solve
were not the problems with which
we became familior during our
years of training, he said.
In a time of Communist propa
ganda, President Aderhold said, a
problem for adult education which
must be given top priority is the
matter of looking to facts rather
than emotions as guides in the
solution of problems.
Other areas~which he cited as
important in adult education in
cluded human relationships, voca~
tional training for those who need
it in order .to better themselves
and their communities economi
cally, education for health both
physical and emotional, guidance
by adults of youth in the choice
of occupations, and solutions to
problems such as the ever in
creasing automobile accident death
date growing out of rapid techno
logical advances.
He also said that adults should
be concerned over the fact that

adults by the armed services for
poor educational qualifications is

By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
WASHIN&TON, Ju?; lS—(APaz‘.
Presiden uman sa
situation, Gen. Eisenhower still is
a friend of his and no President
can cut taxes 15 per cent.
Truman raced through those
subjects—and a few others—at his
news conference. He said that he
isn’t running for office, so he can
give the facts about cutting taxes.
Actually, he said, they ought to
be increased in order to meet the
deficit,
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio,
who, along with Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, is a leading con
tender for the chublicm
dential nomination, said ¢
he would put in 2 Plri per cent tax
cut if he' became sident,
Mr. Truman was asked #f he
thought any Democratic President
could trim taxes that mueh. No,
he didn’t, he said. And if they
cculd have been reduced that
much we would have done it.
Then could any Republican
President shash taxes 15 per eent?
Can’t Cut Taxes
No, Truman said, not unless he
wants to put the country farther
in the hole than it is.
Eisenhower has not gone as far
as Taft in promising a tax reduc
