Plans For Anti-Red Fronts
Solons Map Plan
To Let Controls
Die Next Monday
WASHINGTON June 24 (AP)—
Foes of price and wage controls
were reported today napping plans
to deal a death blow to the already
pattered controls extension bill.
The Defense Production Act,
which gives the President author
ity to control wages, prices, rents
and production, expires next Mon
day unless Congress extends it.
And strong sentiment for letting
the law die was expected to be
voiced by Republicans and South
ern Democrats, who already have
stripped the measure of most of
its effective price control powers.
They appear to have the votes to
get their way, too, when the bill
comes up for action tomorrow.
All-Out Fight
Rep. Spence (D-Ky), chairman
of the House Banking Committee,
said his administration forces
would made an all-out fight
against & probable let-it-die move
ment.
A decontrol amendment by Rep.
Talle (R-Iowa), overwhelmingly
adopted last Fridav, would re
quire that price centrols be lifted
on good which (1) have sold
below ceilings for three months, or
(2) are in adequate supply—that
is, not rationed or allocated. No
goods mow are rationed.
This was followed by a vote to
gbolish the present Wage Stabili
zation Board and replace it with
an agency limited to policy mat
ters and without authority to make
recommendations in labor disput-
All House actions so far are only
tentative and still subject to final
voll call votes.
Strategy of Foes
The strategy of controls foes ap
peared aimed at riddling the bill
with amendments first, then
changing the date on the extension
bill ta this June 30—the same date
the present law expires. This
would be the same as letting all
controls die at midnight Monday.
When the House takes up the
bill again tomorrow, the first order
of business will be a proposal by
Rep. Smith requesting President
Truman to invoke the Taft--Hart
ley injunction provision in the
steel strike. :
Administration leaders said in
advance they had little hope of
blocking it. A similar provision
was written into the vision passed
by the Senate. Truman has pointed
out that Congress can’t make him
invoke the law, with its 80-day
no-strike injunction feature.
Negroes Mutiny
At Work Camp
SAVANNAH, Ga., June 24—
(AP)~Two hundred tough, long
time Negro prisoners mutinied at
a state work camp last night, beat
up five trusties and set fire to
their dormitory.
Warden 1. C. Burns said order
had been restored since about 9
a. m. today, and reported very
slight damage done.
Burns added that no force was
used to quell the mutineers. “We
just outtalked them,”’ he said.
The warden at the camp, known
as Chatham County Work Camp
No. 2, sald the prisoners com
plained about the food “but we
know better and I figure it is just
part of the disease that’s going
around the country.
“You know,” Burns continued,
“there are more good people than
bad in here and the gnod ones
finally decided that what they
were doing wag wrong.”
Burns said that an hour and a
half after talking to the prisoners
last night they decided to come
out of the barracks.
Sixteen of the ringleaders, he
reported were separated from the

Talks Preface
Big Three Meet
LONDON, June 24.—(AP> &4
S. Secretary of State Dean A &'
son and British Foreign S¢ & =y
Anthony Eden discuss &F ' leir
problems in Europe an/ %:', Mid
dle East behind close s to
day. c;‘c
A spokesman sal %' Western
diplomatic chiefs ma.. a general
review of the situation in those
two areas in a two-hour meeting
this morning.
They plan to resume their talks
this afterncon. Acheson will meet
the heads cf British diplomatic
missiong in the Middle East who
are winding up a separate four=
day conference here.
The Acheson-Eden talks are a
prelude to a Big Three foreign
mrinisters’ meeting on Friday
when French Foreign Minister
Robert Schuman will join in the
discussions.
Lunched With Churchills
Acheson and his wife had lunch
with Prime Minister and Mrs.
Churchill.
Acheson_will leave tonight for
Oxford, where he will receive an
honorary degree of Doctor of
Civil Law from Oxford University
tomorrow.
He will return to London for
further talks with Eden on-Thurs
day. George F. Kennan, the U, S.
ambassador to Moscow, will fly to
London from Germany on that
day to meet with Eden.
The main problem facing the
United States, Britain and France
in Europe at the moment is their
reply to the latest Russian note
on a peace treaty for Germrany.
In the Middle East, Britain has
been anxious to set up a new
defense grouping revolving around
the Suez Canal zone.
Turning Points
Major turning points are ex
pected soon in Britain’s relations
with Egypt, which have shown
signs of improving recently, and
those with Iran, which have not.
Hoped-for agreements with
Egypt in the disputes over Brit-~
ish troops there and the status of
the contested Sudan would clear
the way for a new international
defense arrangement for the stra
tegic Suez Canal. But in Iran
crisis threats are mounting as the
country, embroiled in her oil
quarrel with Britain, nears bank
ruptey.
Spinster Death
Adds To Puzzle
SHELBYVILLE, Tenn., June 24
—(AP)—Discovery of the slashed,
pajama-clad body of an elderly
spinster in a thicket last night
deepened the gruesome mystery of
her 80-year-old brother’s death.
Officers said Miss Etta London,
71, had been dead less than four
days when her body was found
three quarters of a mile from the
home she shared with her broth
er, Charles T. London, 80, seven
miles west of here.
London’s mutilated body was
found Sunday in hig blood
smeared bedroom.
Sheriff Virgil Orr said the con
didtion of London’s body indicated
his slaying could not have oc
curred much later than last Mon
day, when Miss London told
neighbors she and her brother
were going for a visit in Alabama.
Items found in the room with
the body included:
T Ah ax handle, a butcher
knife, and two straight razors, all
blood-stained.
2. An illegible note and two
other notes saying, “I did it in
self-defense.”
3. A woman’s skirt and blouse
spattered with blood and mud.
Officers said the only recent
rain in the vicinity fell Saturday
night. Miss London was last seen
alive Friday.
Members of the search party
which found her body said there
were no weapons nearby with
which she could have slashed her
self in the stomach and throat and
no trail of blood to indicate she
was wounded elsewhere.

For Campaian "
By DON WHITEHEAD
DENVER June 24 (AP) — Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower pitched his
presidential campaign toda y
squarely on a peace or-war issue
with his GOP opponent, Sen. Rob
ert A, Taft of Ohio.
The general laid down the battle
lines in a television-radio speech
last night in which he blasted iso
lationists and declared he was in
folitics primarily because he be
ieved peace was at stake in the
contest for the GOP presidential
nomination.
He outlined his Own.po%go and
world security program in this
ways
1. Convince the world that Am
erica has a sincere devotion to
peace and will not consider pro
posals for a “preventive war.”
2, Support the United Nations,
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization and other security agree
ments as instruments for peace.
3. Pursue a positive foreign pro
gram, rather than a *hand to
mouth” operaiton, which will line
line up the Allies against the en
slavement of, any nation.
4, Build up spiritual and mili
tory strength which will convince
the Russian leaders they must ac
cept a “just and practical plan”
of world disarmament.
In firm command of his own
campaign, Eisenhower left no
doubt he classed Taft among the
isolationists. He said a ‘retreat
into iselationism” would leave the
United State ‘“‘encircled by a sav=
age wolf pack” of communism.
Today the general was to meet
with GOP National Convention
delegates from Louisiana, where
Taft-Eisenhower forces are dis

Russell Advises
Steel Seizure
PHOENIX, Ariz.,, June 24—
(AP) — Senator Richard Russell
(D.-Ga.), candidate for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination,
last night advocated government
seizure of the strike-bound steel
industry under authority of the
1940 Selective Service Act.
Russell, who arrived here by
private plane for a round of polit
ical appearances today, said the
seizure would be legal under a
provision of the law dealing with
industries involved in defense pro
duction. g
Push Arms Program
“The American people have got
to push this arms program,” he
asserted. “It’s the main issue be
fore the country.”
The Georgia lawmaker, who is
chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Conmittee, also said in
an interview with The Arizona
Republic:
1. He would get at least 300
votes on the first ballot at the
Democratic national convention
and would pick up strength on
lager counts. It takes 616 to nom
inate.
9. “It is not at all possible” for
Senator Estes Kefauver (D.-
Tenn.) to get the Democratic
presidential nomination. He did
not enlarge on the statement.
3, He can win more votes than
any Republican candidate if he
can get the Democratic nomina
tion. He said he could carry the
entire South and two border
states, Oklahoma and Kentucky.
This would mean 146 electoral
votes.
Plenty of Room
4, There is “plenty of room in
the Demwocratic Party to get to
gether on civil rights.”
5. He is not interested in the
vice presidency.

MacArthur Considered
For Second GOP Spot
Kansas Solon
Wants Probe Of
Federal Housing
WASHINGTON, June 24—(AP).
A Republican representative from
Kansas wants Congress to look in
to government subsidizing of de
fense housing, particularly in the
Savannah River H-Bomb plant
area,
Rep. Cole (R.-Kan.) said yes
terday he will sponsor-a resolu
tion in the House, possibly this
week, asking that body to invegti
that does not have Congressional"
authority. %
Cole said he believes the gov
ernment may have to spend six
million dollars on private defense
housing in the area.
“The Atomic Emergy Commis
sion signed a contract with the
J. A. Robbins Company involving
a housing project which I believe
will result in this six million dol
lar subsidy by the government for
the benefit of the defense workers
and the company.” Cole asserted.
“This came about due to the fact
that the AEC made a guarantee
of rental and for 90 per cent of
occupancy of trailers,” the Kan
san added. ¢
“In addition, the AEC guaran
teed contractors 100 per cent use
of dormitory space, which means
the contractors never risked |§
penny.”
Rep. Cole charged that after the
contract was signed government
housing expediters placed a ceil
ing on rentals which were $22.50.
less per unit than specified in the
contract.
“Thus the government had two
agencies dealing as if the right
hand didn’t know ‘what the left
hand was doing. It showed a com
pletely negligent disregard of effi
ciency,” Cole stated.
DRAFT DELINQUENTS FRAUD
WASHINGTON June 24 —(AP)
—The FBI said today it has locat
ed more than 19,000 draft delin
quents since the peacetime Selec
tive Service law went into effect.
The data was made public by
Director J. Edgar Hoover on the
fourth anniversary of the law.
Of the men located, Hoover said,
3,301 were actually *ugitives, and
prosecutions have resulted in 554
convietions. He said those prose
cuted represent only the most will~
ful violaters.
lionaire testified he frequently had
given Mrs. Michaud financial aid
by placing a bet for her on Reno’s
roulette wheels.
After the bedroom hideout, Red
field said, he accused Mrs. Mi
chaud of snooping through his
other trousers—‘“my dress jeans,
that is.” -
“Then I told her ‘you’d better
not see me again as I don't like
snoops.”
Served As Tip-Off
That was the last he saw of her,
he said, until he encountered her
in downtown Reno just before the
burglary. The government con
tends Mrs. Michaud signaled the
burglars into action after deter
mining both Redfield and his wife
were away from home.
Another government witness,
Anthony Gazzigli, former Reno
gambling house employe who has
confessed a part in the theft, testi
fied to a pre-burglary meeting
with Mrs. Michaud as follows:
“She told me all about Redfield
and how cheap he was.... and
how he kept telling her he was in
love with her and that stuff. And
how he offered her $3,000 to stay
with him. And how he played
her so dirty she was going to get
revenge.” ;

Colorful Drive
WASHINGTON June 24 —(AP)
— A MacArthur - for - vice-presi
dent move was reported under
reported under discussion t(‘gy
by some supporters of Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft of Ohio.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who
will keynote the Republician na
tional convention opening in Chic
ago July 7, has given public sup~
port to Taft's bid for the presid
dential nomination.
And while the general has said
repeatedly he isn’t a candidate for
any office, some of the senator’s
followers believe = MacArthuh
might. be presuaded to accept
second place on the ticket—assum
ing Taft gets the top spot.
Colorful Campaign?
+They envision a colorful election
campaign in which the five—star
general would be provided with a
special train and tour the country
extensively.
The MacArthur tack is based on
the apparent assumption of some
Taft people that their candidate
can win the presidential nomina
tion without having to promise
second place to anybody in return
for delegate support.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s
backers say Taft isn't going to win
the nomination at all, so they con
tend the Ohioan won’t have q{fi'—
thing to do with the choice of the
vice-presidential nominee.
MacArthur made it clear thro
ugh an aide yesterday he isn't
against the election of professional
solders to public office, as such,
though he’s strongly against the
development of a military state.
This seemed to leave him free to
accept a nomination if he chose
to do so.
Maj. Gen, Courtney Whitney de
nied in New York an assertion by
Lt. Gen. R. L. Eichelberger that
MacArthur wanted Eisenhower to
remove himself from the presiden
tial picture in 1947 so the way
would be clear for MacArthur to
run himself for the Republican
presidential nomonation in 1948.
Right Hand Man
Eichenlberger, formerly Mac-
Arthur’s right hand man in the
occupation of Japan, made his as
sertion Sunday at Asheville, N. C,,
in announcing his support of Ei
senhower in the present GOP
nomination contest.
“I can state categorically that no
political intercourse of any nature
has ever taken place or even been
considered between Gen. Mac-
Arthur and Gen. Eisenhower,”
Whitney said, adding:
“Gen. MacArthur holds Gen.
Eisenhower in warmest personal
regard and professional esteem,
but does not support his pelitical
ambitions now nor has he ever
considered doing so 0.”
Teen-Age Girl
Awaits Arrest
An 18-year-old girl awaits ar
rest today by two New York de
tectives, who came to Athens to
take her into custody on a grand
larceny charge. The girl was orig
inally arrested in Athens over the
week-end on a charge of violation
of the Georgia Motor Vehicle
Law. She had already been fined
SIOO and given 12-monts proba
tion by local authorities when the
Brooklyn larceny charge was dis
covered thiough a study of her
fingerprints.
Recently the same girl had fig
ured in halting a plot for a jail
break by three juveniles held in
the Clarke county jail. She wrote
a note to the sheriff, who imme-
diately transferred the youths to
a safer cell. Before the plot was
discovered, however, the juveniles
had partially ripped a door loose.
They stated that they had planned
to knock out the jailergtake his
keys, and escape,
Air Force Claims Important
Asian Targets Are Smashed
Negro Files Suif
ToOpen Door At
University Here
ATLANTA — June 24 — Horace
Ward, negro graduate of More
house College and Atlanta Uni
versity, has filed suit in U. S. Dis«
trict Court here after having un
successfully attempted to enter
the University of Georgia Law
School in Athens.
Named defendants in the suit
were the Board of Regents of the
University System, Chancellor
Harmon W. Caldwell, University
President O. C. Aderhold, Regis
trar Walter N. Danner and Law
School Dean Alton Hosch.
Ward said he has been denied
admission to the University by
Chancellor Caldwell and his ap
peal to the Board of Regents is
still pending. The Regents have
passed a rule requiring all law
school applicants to pass an en
trance examination.
This is the first test case in
Georgia in the higher education
bracket. Under the present ap
propriations bill, should Ward win
his suit here, all state funds would
be cut off from the University
Syster.
Backing of State
Meanwhile Governor Herman
Talmadge said the full resources
of the state government would be
made available in defense of the
state’s segregation laws. Governor
Talmadge said he would confer
with Attorney General Gene
Cook and provide him such assis
tance as may be needed to fight
the case through “every court in
the land.”
In his suit Ward asked the dis
triet court for a judgment declar
ing wunconstitutional the law
school’s policy of refusing en
trance to negroes. The suit also
asked a permanent restraining or
der from such action in the future,
- Ward said he was told he was
eligible for out-of-state aid. Ap
proximately $70,000 is spent year
ly in granting scholarship aids to
send Georgia negroes to other
states to take courses offered at
the University but not in the three
negro colleges in Georgia.
In his suit Ward claims the Uni
versity of Georgia Law School is
the only facility within the state
where he “can study law and pro
cedure to the same extent and on
an equal level in terms of scholar
ship and intensity.”

Electric Plants
Reduced To Junk
SEQUL, June 24.— (AP) —Air
Force and Navy fighter-bombers
teamed up agein today to hammer
four of the five Communist hydro
electric plants smashed yesterday
in the biggest air raid of the Ko~
rean war,
~ Nearly 200 Navy planes from
big fleet carriers off Korea’s east
coast shattered generating sta
tions for the second straight day,
Navy headquarters announced.
None of the planes returned to
the smouldering Suiho power
plants just south of the Yalu River
boundary. But the Air Force said
F-24 Thunderjects “completed de
struction” of two power stations
near Changjin reservoir and two
on the Sangchon River in eastern
Korea,
F-88 Sabre jet pilots exchanged
firing passes with five MIG-15
jets south of the Yalu Tuesday
afternoon, the Air Force said.
Increasing Action
The U. 8. Eighth Army reported
increasing patrol action along the
155-mile battle front Tuesday.
One Allied patrol battled for al
most two hours with a Red unit
west of Chorwon, the scene of
bloody fighting during the past
two weeks.
About 20 Red troops were kill
ed, the Army said.
As Allied experts studied gun
film to evaluate destruction done
by Monday'’s big air raid on North
Korean power plants, there were
strong hints that more Red tar
gets are marked for attack.
Military officials iln Washington
said Monday’s raid ihaugurated a
new “get tough” policy adopted as
a result of Red stalling in the
armistice negotiations.
One spokesman who asked not
to be identified said “we now
realize the best chance for break
in gthe deadlock at Panmunjum is
to hit the enemy with all the
force at our command.”
Film Study
A study of films from the 500
Air Force, Marine and carrier
‘based Navy planes which took
‘part in the attack showed the
‘strike wag virtually a 100 percent
‘success, the Air Force said.
An official spokesman said di
reet hits’ were registeréd on all
five targets.
The Air Force said all of its
planes returned safely, The Navy
shid one-carrier based plane was
shot down by anti-aircraft fire
and four others were hit, but no
pilots were lost.
No official at United Nations
headquartars would say where the
order to bomb the power stations
originated. The plants have been
spared since the war began two
years ago and observers said the

the 24--year-old softhall player

Later in the day Eleanor expect
ed to play ball in a pick-up game
during the anual picnic of the
Pennsylvania Public Utility Com
mission, where she is employed.

er of the Harrisburg Senators of

On Liquor Deal
On Liquor
~ WASHINGTON, June 24—(AP)M
A House subcommittee tries bda,&’-
to untangle conflicting testlmof;
on whether a Justice Department
anti-trust report on the liquor in
dustry was a whitewash.
Rep. Keating of New York, sen<
ior Republican on the House Judi
ciary Subcommittee, told news
men there may be grounds for
perjury proceedings but added:
“We will have to wait until
we've heard from other witnesses
before we reach a decision on the
matter of perjury.”
A Justice Department attorney,
Ernest L. Branham, told the sub
committee yesterday that a report
saying there was no evidence of
conspiracy among distillers was
“a whitewash of everything that
has happened in the industry.”
Viclent Terms
Branham said he was ealled
down “in violent terms” by Ed
ward P. Hodges, No. 2 man in the
anti-trust division, for refusing to
sign the report.
At that point, Hodges interrupt
ed the testimony to ask that he
be permitted to deny under eath
what Branham had said. Chairman
Chelf (D.-Ky.) told Hodges he
would be heard Friday.
Herbert A. Bergson, former head
of the anti-trust division, alse de
manded to be heard and he, too,
was told to wait until Friday.
Bergson handed reporters a state
ment saying there was “not a sein
tilla of evidence” that the depart
ment’s decision not to take anti
trust action against the liquor in
dustry was impro?er.
With the controls extensiom bill
due for House action tomorrow, a
move was brewing to kill the bat
tered measure,
Republicans and Southern Dem
ocrats already have stripped the
legislation of its most effective
powers to control prices.
Unless Congress approves the
bill to extend the Defense Produc
tion Act the President’s authority
to control wages, prices, rents and
production expires at midnight
next Monday.
~ The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee faced a vote today on

proved 6 to 8 yesterday by the
committee in approving a peaca
contract to end the Allied occupéd~
tion and make West Germany a
full partner with the United
States, Britain and France in the
family of free nations.

Committee prepared to take up a
