Fatally Shot In Pentagon
Sticky Grip 0
By The Associated Press
An early summer heat wave
held a sticky grip over wide areas
of the country today. There ap
peared no immediate relief from
the hot and muggy weather.
Now heat records for the month
were reported toppling in June’s
collar-wilting weather in many
parts of the swelterbelt in the
Eastern half of the nation.
The torried zone extended from
the Gulf states northward to the
Southern Great Lakes region and
the lower Missouri Valley,
Violent Storms
Violent rainstorms, strong winds
and showers brought temporary
relief to some sections but in oth
ers there were no signs of rain.
Crops were burning badly in Ar
kansas, which hasn't had a heavy
rain in more than a month.
Temperatures soared above 100
in many cities and readings were
in the 90s over most of the Mid
west, Nighttime brought little re
lief from the humidity.
It was 95 in Chicago yesterday,
the eighth day in June with tem
peratures of 90 or higher.
Florida Report
But in Jacksonville, Fla. the
mercury climbed into the 90s for
the 21st straight day, breaking a
55-year-old record for June. St.
Louis sweated out its 19th day of
90-degree weather this month,
with a high of 99, a record for the
date.
Still there were hotter %{ots
yesterday. It was 107 at Hill City,
Kan. Nashville-baked in a reading

Officials Decide
Death Is Suicide
-~ WASHINGTON, June 25.—(AP)
—Brig. General Francis G. Brink,
America’s top military figure as
signed to war-wracked Indochina,
was found fatally shot in a Pen
tagon office late yesterday. .
- -Supicide Verdict - i
Authorities said it apparently
was suicide although there were
three bullet wounds in the gen
eral’s chest. A pistol lay beside
him.
Brink, 58, whe arrived from the
Far East for conferences about
two weeks ago, was found in a
third floor office not far from the
office of General J. Lawton Col
lins, Army chief of staff.
District Coroner A. Magruder
MacDonald said the general ap
parently had shot himself but the
would not issue an official ver
dict until his investigation is com
pleted.
Brink, a veteran of World Wars
I and 11, was chief of the Ameri
can military mission to Indochina,
where French and native forces
have waged a long, bitter struggle
against the Communists. He came
here for staff conferences on the
military situation in the Orient.
Was Depressed
Friends said Brink had been
badly depressed but that the Indo
china situation had nothing to do
with it.
A native of Marathon, N. Y., he
was graduated from Cornell Uni
versity in 1916. During the 1930 s
he taught military science and was
a boxing coach at Louisiana State
University.
Youthful Cancer
Victim Expires
BALTIMORE (AP) — Little
Donna Daft, the doomed darling
of Chance, Md., slipped away to
death in her sleep this morning.
The nine-year-old daughter of a
Chesapeake Bay waterman had a
brain cancer.
Her plight attracted national at
tention at Christmas when doctors
concluded it would probably be
her last one. She wanted a bicycle.
A dozen of them quickly turned
up, bulwarked by a truckload of
other gifts.
Two weeks ago the neighbors of
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Daft staged
a big birthday party for Donna. It
was on June 12, really a week
before her ninth birthday. Donna
had been having little spells of
dizziness and blindness. The doc
tors said it was the beginning of
the end. :
Twice during the festivities
Donna had to go into the house
and rest. Her parents brought her
the next day to University Hospital
in Baltimore.
Get well cards and birthday
greetings came from all over the
country, from ships at sea. A
prisoner sent her a poem.
There was another lgm‘ty at the
hors&ital on the 19th. Donna’s real
birthday. Almost before the fun
was over, she had sunk into a coma
from which she never completely
roused. Death came as the doctors
said it would, painlessly. Donna
never knew she was going to die.
WRECK VICTIM IN HOSPITAL
Charles E. Davis, of Carrolton,
was reported in gerious condition
this morning at the Athens Gen
eral Hospital from injuries re
ceived when the truck which he
was driving overturned and
caught fire between Lexington
and Washington last night.
No information concerning the
ietniis of the accident was avail
able.

LONDON ,/¥ 25—(AP)—A
British ney’ ) reported today
American <’ ; kids “have less
appeal tn a horned toad”—
but the little girls grow into the
world’s loveliest women.
“Most ugly ducklings in Ameri
ca become swans,” reported Tom
Downes, New York correspondent
of the- Evening News. “Pretty
chicks in England tend to become
dowdy old hens.”
Reply to Joad
Downes set forth his views in
reply to Prof. Cyril Edwin Joad,
a British philosopher, who de
nounced American chhdren in a
recent essay as - pasty-faced,
spoiled “little brutes.”
Downes sald Joad was right as
far as he went “but he should
have developed his theme beyond
childhood.” Downes proceeded to
do it for him:
“The point I want to make is
that age for age, class for class,
the women of New York, Chicago
and possibly Los Angeles are more
attractive to the eye than any wo
men in the world,
“They have nothing to fear re
garding the peaches and cream
complexion of English girls, the
savior-faire and fashion conscious~
ness of the French, or the vitality
of the Italians. They compete en
equal terms with all their Euro
pean sisters.”
Downes entered a brief concur
ing opinion on Joad’s distaste for
the American tot of frying size.
Pain-In-Neck
American school kids,” Downes
said, “are a pain in the neck.
Their demands and their self
expression—l would prefer to eall
it exhibitionism—are such that the
rate of infanticide in the United
States is probably higher than
anywhere else in the world.”
Teen-agers he described as
“hideous.”
Bue as far as he is concerned
all this is forgiven when the little
darlings get to be big girls.
Downes said about the only
flaw he has found in the American
beauty is her voice.
“The accents of girls from Vir
ginia, North Carolina, and some
other Southern states are pleasant
to the ear. But there are others
whose sonances have the twang of
a harp. And it an’t heavenly.”
Off Terrif
MOSCOW June 25 (AP) — Rus
sia told the rest of the world to
day to keep its planes away, from
Soviet territory_ or run the risk of
hgving them shot down or intern
ed.
This was the construction placed
by foreign diplomats here on a
Soviet note delivered by Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky last
night to Swedish Ambassador Rolf
Sohlman.
The message replied to a blunt
Swedish query asking whether the
Rpssians had shot-down a Swedish
transport plane missing in the Bal
tic Sea area since June 13.
The Soviet reply complained
that foreign planes have violated
the Russian forntier several times
recently while “Soviet planes
never violate the borders of other
states.”
It then warned that Soviet fight
ers have been instructed to “open
fire on all aircraft that violate the
frontier and resist orders to land
at a local field.”
The Russian note demanded that
Sweden stop her planes from stray
ing over Soviet territory. It said
that two aircraft of undetermined
nationality flew over the Soviet
Baltic frontiers June 13 and were
chased away by Russian fighters.
The Swedes previously admitted
in an apology to Moscow that one
of their planes mistakenly tres
passed over Soviet territory that
day while searching for the miss
ing Swedish plane. :

Arnall Attacks
Talle Amendment
WASHINGTON June 25—(AP)
—The hour of decision came in the
House today on the question of
wipinf out most price controls—if
not all wage, price and other eon
trols together.
But first the legislators, ealled
into session two hours early, were
scheduled to decide whether to
join the Senate in asking Presi
dent Truman to wuse the Taft-
Hariley law in an effort to halt
the steel strike.
Rep. Howard Smith (D-VA.) of
fered the Taft-Hartley proposal
as an amendment to the Defense
Production Act, which gives Tru
man his wage, price and other ec~
onomic eontrol powers. The act
dies at midnight Monday unless
Congress votes to extend it.
Whittling Job
The House has severely whittled
the bill in preliminary voting
which wasg to be made final—or
reversed —-todag'. Among other
things, it has a o’Fted an amend
ment by Rep. alle (R-Iowa)
which would just about wipe out
price controls while leaving wage
curbs in force.
A number of Republicans and
Southern Democrats were reported
planning to go beyond that today
and vote to let the whole controls
program die. :
And some administration leaders
predicted the bill has been made
so unsatisfactory—from their point
of view—that it may be rejected
outright on a final vote.
That would mean the end of all
controls unless Congress should
pass a short-term extension of the
present law.
Sham and Hypocrisy
Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall
denounced the Talle amendment
last night as “sham and hypocrisy,
fraud and subterfuge.”
Predicting its adoption would
mean constantly Increasing prices
and taxes—since the government,
too, would have to pay more for
what it buys—Arnall said in a
broadcast:
“If the Congress wishes to take
the responsibility for abolishing
price control, it has that right. But
it is not fair to the American pub
lic for the House to adopt a fake
system of price control.”

UN's Top Military Commanders Dare
Reds To Launch All-Out Offensive
r u
Van Fleet Doesn't Believe Enemy
Has Nerve For Any New Attack
BEOUL, June 26.—(AP)—The United Nations’ top mil
itary commanders today in effect dared the Communists to
launch another all-out Korean offensive in the wake of
smashing air attacks against hydroelectric plants serving
Red war industries,
“We hope the Reds come,” said
Gen, James A. Van Fleet, U. S,
Eightg Army commander. *“We
would pile them up on the barbed
wire and maybe end the war.”
As the Korean conflict entered
its third year, Van Fleet said he
thinks a new Communist offensive
would grove to be the decisive
battle. But “I don’t think the en
emy has the stomach to fight an
other offensive.” _
Troop Ready :
In Tokyo, Geng Mark Clark,
United Nation military command
er, said U. N. troops are ready if
the Reds choose to launch a new
attack.
“We perfer to achieve an armis
tice at the conference table,” Clark
said. “But if the enemy prefers
otherwise and forces a return to
the bitter and bloody fighting of
1950 and 1951, we are ready.”
Lt. Gen. Glenn Barcus, Fifth Air
Force commander, said the U. N.
had undisputed control of the skies
over Korea.
One Communist MIG-15 jet was
destroyed, one was probably de
stroz'ed and another was damaged
in air battles with U. 8. Sabre jets
ngnesday, the Fifth Air Force
said.
Waves Of Planes
Waves of B-29s . swept over
North Korea Tuesday mnight only
hours after hundreds of Navy and
Air force fighter bombers had
completed the destruction of major
Red power plants in North Korea.
In one of the biggest Superfort
strikes of the Korean War, the
bombers dumped 250 tons of ex
plosives on Communist troop com=
centrations and supply areas.
Death Takes Mrs.
I. 1. Chancey
Mrs. T. J. Chancey, 57, resident
of 780 Hancock Avenue, died un
expectedly at her home Tuesday
night at 7:30 o’clock.
Services are to be conducted
Thursday morning at 11 o’clock
from Bridges Chapel with Rev. H.
E. Wright, pastor of Talmadge
sleights Baptist Church, officiat
ng.
Burial will follow in Mars Hill
Baptist Church Cemetery, with
nephews of Mrs. Chancey serving
as pall-bearers.
She is survived by two sisters,
Mrs. D. B. Worley, Middleton, Ga.,
and Mrs. J. G. Jones, Calhoun
Falls, S. S.; brother, Jimmie W.
Hall, Greenwood, S. C., and sev
eral nieces and nephews.
Mrs. Chancey was a native of
Elbert County and had lived in
Athens the past thirty-five years.
She was the widow of T. J. Chan
cey, a veteran of World War One,
who died in 1843. She appeared to
be in her usual good health until
she suffered an attack at her home
late Tuesday and died before med
ical aid could reach her.
SIOO REWARD OFFERED
The Oconee Valley Livestock
Association voted in its last Di
rectors’ meeting to offer SIOO re
ward for information leading to
the capture and subsequent con
viction of anyone stealing live
stock from its members. This ac
tion has come as a result of the in
creased amount of cattle thieving
in the Oconee Valley area. This
is a step in the right direction;
but a proper branding law, based
on those now in effect in the
West, is the answer to easy ‘iden
tification of stolen livestock and
the quick arrest ond conviction
offenders it was pointed out.

Taft Confident
Of First Ballot
GOP Victory
By The Associated Press
‘While Gen. Dwight Eisenhower
outlined a domestic policy speech
today, Sen, Robeet Taft talked con
fidently of possibly being nomi=-
nated for president on the Republi
can convention’s first bollot.
Eisenhower, meeting at Denver
with some of his Louisiana back
ers, discussed topics he will bring
up in his speech tomorrow night at
the Denver Coliseum.
Asked about economie controls,
due to expire June 3 unless Con
gress renews them, Eisenhower
said:
“I have much more faith in the
interplay of the various economic
forces that take charge of such
things than I do in bureaucratic
rule and law.”
He added, however, that he be
lieves controlg should be liminated
“very gradually and intelligently.”
Eisenhower repeated that, in his
s§eech, he will not go into details
about “problems of which I know
very little.” Of the delegate dis
guteg before the GOP convention,
e said: “I don’t believe this thing
is going to be settled in any star
chamber fashion.”
Matter Of Strategy
Taft, in Washington, told a
reporter the question of whether
he can win nomination on the first
ballot at the July 7 convention in
Chicago is “a matter of strategy.”
He claims a majority already of
the 1,206 delegates, the amount
need for nomination., He met this
week with delegates from %&r‘y
land and Pennsylvania and has-a
date Friday with the Virginia dele
gation. ¢ e
North Dakota Republicans i};es--
terday renominated Sen. William
Langer at a primary in which he
was opposed by Rep. Fred Aan
dahl. Aandahl, who had been un=-
derfeated in three previous state
wide elections, conceded to Langer
although less than half the ballots
had been counted.
The Taft-Eisenhower race did
not figure in the primary.
Sen. Knowland of California
predicted today Gov. Earl War~
.ren would take his time about de
ciding whether to release his 76
pledged delegates at the GOP con
vention. Knowland said the Calif
ormia governor’s strategy would
be to wait around for a possible
Taft-Eisenhower deadlock, then
step in as the compromise candi
date.
Taft stands to profit by any such
delay. His backers claim no more
than 20 of California’s 70. Hence,
if Taft were driving for nomina
tion on the first or second ballot,
a decision by Warren to wait it
out could cost Eisenhower 50 or
‘more sorely-needed votes.
| Demo Keynoter
A man who will have a lot to
say at the Democratic convention
July 21, meanwhile, had a few
words yesterday on the Repub
lican race. Gov. Paul Dever of
Massachusetts, keynote speaker for
the Democrats, told newsmen in
Albuquerque, N. M., he believes
“Eisenhower’s obvious ignorance
beat than Taft in the general elec
tion. His reason: what he called
“Eisenhower’s obcious ignorance
of domestic affairs.”

Pinched Tighter
PITTSBURGH, June 25.—(AP)
~Welfare agencies are getting
more and more appeals for assist
ance as the defense economy {s
pinched tighter and tighter by the
paralyzing strike of 650,000 CIO
United Ssteelworkers.
Nearly 750,000 workers now are
idle in the 24th day of the nation
wide strike.
Added to the 650,000 strikers are
nearly 125,000 workers in allied
industries.
Major Layoffs
General Motors has ordered a
layoff of mcre than 12,000 work
ers—the first major layoff in the
auto industry attributed to the
steel strike. Approximately 2,400
Chevrolet forge plant workers in
Detroit were laid off last night.
Ten thousand are being furlougx
ed today and tomorrow at GM’s
big Chevrolet production center
at Flint, Mich.
In Youngstown, Ohio, the Ma
honing county welfare office han
dled 250 applications for relief
from steelworkers yesterday.
In Pittsburgh more than 300
men lined up for financial help at
one district relief office., Mrs.
Elizabeth Huddy, 24-year-old
mother of two children, came
along with her husband, She told
a reporter:
“I can’t even buy my two chil
dren fresh milk. We had a couple
of dollars to get 110111! with when
the strike came.” er husband,
Norman, declared:
“Our rent for June isn't even
paid. That's s4l. 1 don't know
what we're going to do.”
| No Benefits
The steelworkers are not pald
strike benefits, They are not eli
gible for unemployment compen
sation but relief agencies are per
mitted to help them on the basis
of their needs—and if they have
no tangible assets. Somre steel
workers’ locals are providing help
for what they classify*as hardship
cases,
At Lackawanna, N. Y. — where
Bethlehem Steel employs 15,000—
the Chambner of Commerce voted
to wire President Truman, area
legislators and steelworkers’ Pres
ident Philip Murray to end the
strike. The Chamber said a “de
cided decline in business” has
been noted since the strike started.
Although there is no sign of a
break in the strike the first small
shipments of finished steel are
trickling through to defense pro
ducers. Through a government
sponsored plan the companies and
the union are allowing high pri
ority finished steel to roll through
the picket lines. |
Small Companies |
Meanwhi'e, Murray said agree
ments covering 9,000 workers have
been signed with 12 small steel
companies in the past few days.
He declared all contracts follow
the Wage Stabilization Board’s
recommendations of a 26 cent an
hour package increase for men
now earning $1.95 an hour but did
not elaborate.
Riverside Park
Near Completion
City Engineer Jack Beacham
recently informed Roger Hazen
Chairman of the Recreation and
Parks Board, that the softball
field now under construction at
Riverside Park is nearing comple~
tion.
The field is just one of the many
improvements taking place around
the city in its development and ex~
pansion of a complete and ade
quate recreation program.
The Riverside Park for colored,
with the completion of the soft
ball field, will offer a diversified
program of recreation to fulfill
its ever increasing needs. The ma
jor development of the park is a
fine open swimming pool with
modern bathouses and a snackbar.
Sandboxes, miracle-whirls, and
tables, benches, and ovens for pic
nics furnish the shady grounds of
the park,
Junior and Senior lifesaving
courses are now available to in
