“acing Acheson
E Uv
WASHINGTON, June 23.—(AP)
__Gecretary of State Acheson flew
to Furope today for & 16-day
vound of important conferences
while Britain’s defense minister,
vicount Alexander, was starting a
pries series of talks in Washing
ton.
Acheson took off—in President
Truman’s plane, with the Presi
dent at the airport to wish him
success — last night, a few hours
after Alexander flew in from
Korea.
Acheson’s mission abroad is ex
pected to center around problems
in Europe and the Middle East,
Alexander is expected .to talk
about Korea with top level offi
cials here.
Acheson plans to visit London,
perlin, Vieana, and—on his way
home—Brazil.
Major Meeting
His most important conferences
are expected to be in London,
with British Foreign Secretary
Eden and French Foreign Minister
gchuman, 2nd later with George
Kennan, new U. S. ambassador to
Moscow. ¢ s
The Big Three talks have no
fived schedule of subjects, but
authorities say they will cover the
range of common interests. These
include Germany, relations with
Russia, and conditions in Egypt
and Iran and possibly Korea.
Acheson’s talks with Kennan
will give the new ambassador his
initial chance to give a first-hand
report on conditions in Russia as
he has found them since taking
over his post in May.
Acheson’s visit to Brazil, at the
invitatton of Foreign Minister
Neves de Fontauranra, will be his
first to that country.
Korean Tour
Alexander’s visit to Washington
follows & tour of the Korean war
fronts, and discussions here are
expected to center around the
Korean situation.
At the outset of his Korean in
spection, Alexander intimated a
desire for direct British represen
tation on the U. N. truce team.
Diplomatic and military policy
malkers here decided to urge him
not to press that point on grounds
it might indicate British criticism
of how the situation is being han
dled and thus endanger truce ne
gotiations,
However, following his inspec
tion Alexander said criticism of
American handling of truce nego
tiations was “absolutely unjusti
fied.”

Refired Aid
ASHEVILLE, June 23— (AP)—
Lt. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger
(ret.), top aide to Gen. Douglas
MacArthur in the occupation of
Japan, has voiced his support for
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for
the Republican presidential nomi
nation.
Interviewed by the Asheville
Citizen at his-home here yester
day. Eichelberger also -criticized
aspects of the role played in poli
tics by his old chief, MacArthur.
Eichelberger, 66 years old and
retired since Decembßer, 1948, said
he had reached his decision to sup
port Eisenhower after “traveling
extensively for eight months and
talking to thousands of people.”
He added:
Sentiment for Ike
“When one talks personally to
farmers, to electricians, and to
technicians—then men who consti
tute the great backbone of this
country—one finds an unusual
sentiment for Eisenhower and for
no other Republican.”
MacArthur, who will deliver the
keynote speech at the Republican
national convention next month,
is supporting Sen. Robert A. Taft
for the nomination. y
Eichelberger, who commanded
the Eighth Army in the Pacific
during part of the war and after,
discussed MacArthur’s presiden~
tial aspirations years back.
MacArthur, he declared, had not
always considered it a “tragic de=
velopment” to elect a military
man as President.
1947 Hopes )
In 1947, Eichelberger said, Mac-
Arthur told him he hoped Eisen
hower would remove himself as a
presidential possibility and de
clare for MacArthur in 1948. Mac-
Arthur was quoted as saying he
then would step aside for Eisen
hower in 1952.
Eichelberger said that antagon
ism toward Eisenhower may have
caused MacArthur to change his
mind about the desirability of a
military man as President.
He said he knew “at first hand
GGen. MacArthur’s hopes of being
selected as a presidential nominee
in 1944 and 1948.” .
Saturday morning at 8 o’clock and
stopped briefly at Greensboro,
Salisbury, Charlotte, Spartanburg
and Anderson. .
They left Sunday morning and
were slated to sfop at Atlanta,
where a scroll of greetings from
Virginia Governor John Battle was
to be presented Governor Herman
Talmadge. They were to stop also
at LaGrange, Montgomery and
Selma, Ala., and spend the night
at Jackson, Miss.
Today’s Agenda
Today’s schedule called for stops
at Vicksburg, Miss., Monroe, La,
Shreveport and Gladewater, Tex
as, before reaching Dallas late this
afternoon or early tonight. Local
Jaycee chapters all along the
route had arranged hospitality
celebrations.
The caravan was led by Sidney
Peck of Danville, Virginia Jaycee
president and James Ellwanger of
Lynchburg is caravan commander.
In Dallas the Virginia caravan
will join in the convention parade
with Ford caravans from several
other states. A Mercury convers
ible will be the parade car for Mr.
Henderson, candidate for natlonal
president. ;

Soviet Seizes
German Workmen
HELMSTEDT, Germany, June
23.—(AP)—British soldiers back
ed up reinforced West German
police at a disputed frontier point
near hete today in defiance of
Communist keep-away orders fol
lowing the kidnaping of 43 West
German workers.
The workmen, seized yesterday
morning by Russian-led East Ger
man Volkspolizei People’s Police
as the Westerners dismantled a
railroad spur, were released with
out explanation early today. Ten
other workers had fled the seiz
ure, eseaping without injury under
a hail of Red bullets.
Hamlet Setting
The kidnapping occurred at the
little hamlet of Hohnsleben, a few
miles from Helmstedt, in a 500-
yard-deep pocket of territory
which was part of the Soviet zone
state of Saxon Anhalt but was
given to West Germany when the
East-West zonal border was estab=
lished.
Following yesterday’s incident
armed Volkspolizei warned the
West German border police to
stay out of the pocket, but the
Western police brought up rein=-
forcements and, with a detail of
13 British soldiers, took up their
regular patrol positions at the
East-West frontier.
The Communists then made no
effort to halt the Western patrols.
Not Mistreated
The kidnapped workers said
after their release they had not
been mistreated but had been ex
haustively questioned by Russian
officers and the East Gernran po
lice. The men said the Reds
claimed they had crossed the
zonal frontier, but gave no explan
ation for releasing them.
Holmes Services

Miss Mary Frances Holmes, 34,
of 734 Barber street, died in a lo
cal hospital this morning at 3:30
o’clock after an illness of only a
few hours. g

from West End Baptist Church
with the pastor, Rev. W. S. Pruitt,
and Rev. W. B. Smith, pastor of
Bartow Baptist Church, officiating.
Burial will follow in Occnee
Hill Cemetery, Bridges Funeral
Home in charge of arrangements,
Pallbearers will be Leßoy Davis,
H. V. Long, Royce White, Truman
Logan, Hugh Ingram and David
Bridges.

Athens, and several aunts and
uncles.
She was a native of Athens and
a lifelong resident here, being the

ry Holmes. She was a devoted
member of West End Beptist
Church and took an active part
in the women's endeavors of that

day afternoon when she was taken
{ll and lived only a short time.

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GCEORGIA OVER A CENTURY,
ATHENS, GA., MONDAY, JUNE 23, 1952.
GOP c i
s Shaping Up
Into Slugfesi #
By The Associated Press
A front-running Democrat eall
ed it a “bar-room slugfest”. A
leading Republican warned that
too much bickering can lose the
election for the party. But the
GOP battle for delegates roared
on today as noisily as ever.
It even left physical violence
in its wake in one outlying sector.
Fighting broke out in Puerto
Rico yesterday as.' Republicans
chose two rival three-member de~
legations to the national conven
tion in Chicago. The delegations
are uncommitted but one report
édly favors Sen. Robert A. Taft
and the other Gen. Dwight D. Ei
senhower for the presidential
nomination.
Police quelled the island dis
trubance, but the question of
which delegation’ will be seated
is just one more to be fought out
in Chicago-like the question of
Texas’ hotly disputed delegation,
among others.
Taft said today he believes
Texas delegates temporarily ad
mitted to the Republican national
convention should be barred from
voting on the germanent seating
of that state’s delegation. .
But Taft told a news conference
he does not agree with Eisenhower
that delegates from all contested
states should be barred from vot
ing on contests.
He said he thinks those seated
temporarily from contested states
must be permitted to vote on com
tests outside their own states.
“Otherwise,” he said, “fake con
tests could be brought in a major
ity of the states and the conven
tion would be helpless to act.”
- Last Delegates -
Election of Republican delegates
ends today with the choosing of 10
in Illinois to complete the state’s
slate of 60. Taft was expected to
widen hig lead there. Of the 50
already chosen, he has 49 to Eisen
hower’s one.
Democrats name 22 delegates to
day in Indiana, 48 others in var
ious states later in the week for
their convention opening July 2i.
There’s no such time-lag for the
Republicans. Their convention
starts two weeks from today, with
a terrific row over contested dele
gates shaping up beforehand.
Taft forces struck back in news
paper ads today at Eisenhower’s
Dallas, Tex., charge that the
Ohioan’s backers stole Texas' 38
convention votes as brazenly as
cattle rustlers.
“The Eisenhower managers are
screaming ‘we wuz robbed’ be
cause they know they have lost
the fight,” the Taft advertisement
said. It added that the exclusion
of Eisenhower backers from dele
gate~-picking sessions was justified
because the general’s people actu
ally were Democrats.
Eisenhower, before flying from
Texas back to Denver, made a
new eiffort to puncture that Taft
camp’s claim that he is a Truman
candidate. He flatly denied at a
news conference that the President
ever offered to back him for the
1952 Democratic presidential nom
ination.
The general also said he would
no’ consider any deal to make him
the Democratic candidate if he
loses the fight for the GOP nom
ination.
As for running on a third party
ticket—some Texans have talked
of this, should Eisenhower lose in
Chicago —the general said he
would have no part of such a move
in 1952. He did not commit himself
on other years.
Sen. Styles Bridges of New
Hampshire, his party’s leader in
the Senate, sounded a note of
warning: Republicans can lose
this year, he said, “if we enter the
campaign bickering or divided.”
It was Sen. Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee, leading in the delegate
cout for the Dernocratic presiden=

Murray Denies
Deal With HST
In Steel Strike
GARY, Ind, June 23—(AP)—
CIO steelworker boss Philip Mur
ray said yesterday that President
Truman assurea him “you need
have no fear” of a Taft-Hartley
injunction if the wanion would
postpone its scheduled Jan., 1
strike,
And he called Inland Steel Pres
ident Clarence Randall a “liar”
for saying that Murray and Tru
man had “made a deal.”
Murray addressed an audience
of 7,500 at a steelworkers’ rally in
this community of 130,000. About
27,000 persons in Gary and ad
joining East Chicago earn their
livelihood in the steel mills.
Steelworkers have been on
strike three weeks, since the U,
S. Supreme Court ruled govern
ment seizure of the industry il
legal. President Truman has not
started Taft-Hartley law injunc
tion proceedings to stop it. A
pending resolution—urgini him to
do so has passed one house of
Congress.
- Capacity Crowd 2
Before an overflow audience in~
cluding steleworkers, politicians,
mayors of the two hard-hit steel
towns and Lt. Gov. John Watkins
of Indiana, the president of the
steelworkers union
1. Accused major steel pro
ducers of ‘“a conspiracy” to pro
long the steel strike.
2. Criticized Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower for voicing opinions
on the steel strike when “he could
ihardly know the facts.” Murray
in particular objected to this re
mark he attributed *to the can
didate for the Republican presi
dential nomination, “why don’t
‘they use the Taft-Hartley law.”
3. Attached the industry’s reluc
tance to give the union’s 650,000
striking members a union shop.
4, Said it would be “unjust to
expect the steelworkers to under
go an 80-day strike injunction un
der the Taft-Hartley law since
they have already delayed the
original strike 153 days on the re
quest of the President.”
5. Did not say what the union’s
x;_)losition would be if the Taft
artley law were invoked.
Predicted Victory
6. Predicted the steelworkers
will win the strike regardless of
“what kind of suppressive weapon
may be used against you.”
Signs reading, “The Taft-Hart
ley Act won’t produce steel,” and
“We won’t work under the Taft

Mark During Ten-Day Struggle
BY STAN CARTER
SEOUL, June 23.— (AP) ~—Five hundred U. S. Navy,
Air Force and Marine planes today knocked out five big
hydro-electric ?lants servicing all of North Korea and parts
of Manchuria in the biggest single air raid of the Korean
war.
All of the targets were on the
Korean side of the Yalu River,
which divides Korea and Manchu
ria, Navy headquarters in Tokyo
said.
Top Targets
A Navy spokesman said the tar
gets were ‘“top priority” and pre
liminary reports indicated the
“primary and secondary targets
were thoroughly smashed.”
Air Force fighter-bombers from
dozens of land bases and Navy
glanes from the Boxer, Philippines
ea and Princeton pounded the
dams and generator plants, Other
planes from the carrier Bonhomme
Richard flew diversionary strikes
in the same area to confuse Red
air defenses.
The Air Force said the 90-min
ute raid demolished the Suiho hy=
dro-electrie plant, which supplies
power to Mukden and other in
dustrial areas in Manchuria, plus
four other power plants in North
Korea.
Col. John D. Nottingham of
Houston, Tex., Fifth Air Force
publie information officer, said
carrier planes and land-based Ma
rine and Air Force craft swooped
down on the power plants from
all directions with rockets and
high explosive armor - piercing
bombs.
Nottingham said 20 Red MIG
-15 jets were counted on the Com
munist airfield at Antung, Man=
churia, within sight of the strikes
on Suiho. None of the MIGs chal
lenged the fighter-bombers, which
were escorted by F-86 Sabre jets
and Navy Panther jets.
Nation Blacked Out
The Air Force spokesman said
it was safe to assume there were
“no electric lights burning to
night” in the North Korean capi
tal of Pyongyang and that parts of
Manchuria were blacked out.
More than half of the more than
500 planes which took part in the
raid were American Air Force
planes, Nottingham said. All were
fighters and fighter-bombers. No
B-26 or B-29 bombers were used.
The big zair strike followed by
one day raids by powerful Allied
columnsg of 1,000 to possibly more
than 3,000 men into Chinese lines
in western Korea. The attacks
topped any U. N. foray into Red

Commies Protest
Allied Release
Of Prisoners
MUNSAN, June 23 — (AP) —
United Nations truce negotiators
told the Communists today that
27,000 Korean civilians will be
freed from U, N. prison camps
starting next month., The Reds
frotested immediately, and vio
ently.
North Korean Gen. Nam Il ac
cused the Allies of disposing of
war prisoners “unilaterally.” He
said the Communists never have
recognized U. N. reclassification of
war prisoners.
Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison
said most of the prisoners to be
released were swept into Allied
internment camp early in the
war and later were found to be
South Korean civilians,
He denied Red assertions that
the Allies want to keep war pris
oners as ‘“cannon fodder.”
“The truth is,” Harrison said,
“that we desire to return the max
imum lE;ossdble number to your
side who evidence the slightest
willlingness to return to your con
trol.”
The negotiators made Po pro
gress toward solving the last key
problem barring a Korean armis
tice—exchange of prisoners,
