Newspaper Page TextWriter Says Russell Is Big Contender Those columnists, political writers and so-called “observers” who I ave been inclined to write off the eandidacy of Senator Richard B Russell, elaiming he 18 a sectional candidate only, would de well to read an article written by Roscoe Drummond, for a number of years Chief, Washington News Bureau of The Christian Science Monitor and recently published in that paper, ! { The article is headed: . “Russell Looms As Strong Contender,” and with the natlonwide circulation of The Monitor, will do the cause of Senator Russell much sood. ' .. : The article fllows: “Senator Russell of Georgia wonders if the time hasn’t come to dis prove the fable that a Southern Democrat cannot be elected President of the United States. “And when Senator Russell thinks of a Southern Democrat to do the disproving he is thinking of Ser Q Russell—not Senator Robert Kerr of Oklahoma or Senator Es* v*i?b” aver of Tennessee, “He believes he can be nom’ ".e is convinced that he can be elected—whether his opponer & & .utor Taft or General Eisenhower. “The arguments which s J&* *7" vasls for Senator Russell’s view of his own prospects are nr ¥, _ightly put aside. In his nine-page in terview in the U. 8. 7 % .gazine he put the case for his elective strength in these tern. o% - ; “Q. Could Eisenhower e beaten? “A, Oh, yes, I think he ean be defeated. “Q. Can you beat him? “A, There is no question about it in my mind. I happen to be, 1 think, the only Democrat who is absolutely sure he can defeat General Eisenhower. The polls—we know they are not always accurate, but they do reflect publie thinking to some extent —the polls that have been taken in 13 contiguous (southern and border) states, with 14) electoral votes—show that I am the only Democrat who can carry all of these states against Eisenhower, I lead with a ratio of about 54 to 46 percent, or somrething like that.

V/estern observers saw this poseibility as the Communist par_ ty newspaper Pravda called the bombings “an mtﬁrs)tional effort to prevent the establishment of peace in Korea.” The government newspaper Iz vestia szaid aceusingly: “Wall Street does not want to end the war in Korea.” The Kremlin apparently is awaiting an official report from the North Koreans and Chinese Communists concerning the U. S. air strikes in North Korea near the Yalu River boundary, What that repert will be seemed plainly indicated by first reactions rom the Peiping radio. The Peip ino radio, monitored in New Delhi, said the American bombing was intended to “wreck the truce talks and extend the Korean War.” The bombing, the Pelping radio said, ;' i the “most heinous crime in ) (\l.v‘!'

He came here directly from a meeting with the British and French foreign ministers in Lon don. They decided, among other things, on what terms they would discuss with the Russians the question of unifying Germany, Violate Agreements | Even ag Acheson was flying here, the Western Allied com manders protested to the Soviets new restrictions which prevent West Berlin residents from cross ing the Soviet zone border line to visit relatives or to reach prop- | erty they legally own. The Allies said the restrictions violate the 1949_Paris agreement ending the Russian blockade of Berlin. ? West Berlin officials said 16,000 Germans have been affected by the Soviet restrictions imposed one bg one on West Berliners since the Bonn government signed a peace contract last month with the Western powers and agreed to put 500,000 West German soldiers in the projected Wes'ceml European Army. Today the Alliedl commanders called the Soviet ac- | tion “an inhumane policy.” '| Speaking for the Americans, Maj. Gen. Lemuel B, Mathewson, U. S. commandant, wrote to So viet commandant Sergei Dengin demanding the restrictions be lift= ed or that these West Berliners suffering “untold distress,” be paic{ “adequate” compensation. ; Enthusiastic Greeting Berlin greeted Acheson with en= | ’thusiasm. Hundreds of Germans crowded around the gateways to Tempelhof Airdrome. There was a chorus of cheers as the Ameri= can official drove past in the au=- can Ol ot the U. S. high com-| missioner, John J. McCloy. But the East Berlin Communist gress was not enthusiastic. The eds’ newspapers called for “big actions to get rid of the American| warmongers.” They said the pol=| iicies of Acheson and his sup porters in Allied councils “must be fought off with fire and sword.” West Berlin police were tipped the Communists planned some street fighting at West Berlin city hall to protest Acheson’s visit, butl called it off at the last minute. { West Berlin police—and their fire | hoses—have frequently dampened | Communist enthusiasm the past | year, ' | Aides of the U.

Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge of Mas~ sachusetts, director of Eisen hower’s campaign, issued a state=~ men saying “That and his advisors are resorting to desperate last_ minute political tricks to thwart the will of the rank and file of the Reßublican party.” avid S. Ingalls, eampaign man ager for Taft, also using a pre pared statement, charged Lodge’s “announcement that, contrary to previous statements, Eisenhower ig being sent to Chicago emphasi zing the inconsistency of the gen eral’s whole demeanor in the 1952 presidential campaign.” Shift Headquarters With scarcely more than a week left before the Republic conven tion opens July 7, the forces of the two leading candidates shifted their operations to headquarters only two floors apart in the con_ vention headquarters hotel, the Conrad Hilton.

Eisenhower’s move from his present Denver headquarters to Chicago will not be made until July 5. Lodge said the general’s shift to Chicago will be made “for the purpose of making himself avaliable to conventions dele_ gates.” A Sunday afternoon reception for Eisenhower and his wife on July 6, the eve of the convention, has been billed as wide open to de legates, alternates, national com_ mitteemen and state chairman from all of the states and territor es.

BOMAR WASHINGTON, June 28.— (AP) —The State Depart ment apologized publicly to Owen Lattimore today and revoked the order barring the Far Eastern affairs special ist from leaving the country. In a formal statement the de partment described as false a tip it received to the effect that Latti more was planning a trip behind the Iron Curtain. It was on the basis of this tip that the depart ment directed customs officials to stop the Johns Hopkins University professor from leaving the United States. % “The Department of State.” fo day’s statement said. “expresses to Mr. Lattimore its sincere re gret over the embarrassment caused him.” Monstrous Injustice Lattimore expressed apprecia~ tion for the State Department’s action but said assurance should be forcoming that such a “mon strous and un-American injustice cannot happen again.” He issued a statement express ing the hope “that this fantastic case will make clear to the Am erican people what I knéw from long and bitter experience name ly, that there are both amateurs and professionals at work in our country blasting the reputation of innocent people and undermining our democratic values. 2 “They are today’s lynch mob operating on a grand scale sup-~ ported and inspired by placed officials.” = - - The pubiic apology by the State Department was supplemented by a personal letter to Lattimore from acting Secretary of State David Bruce, which the depart ment did not make public. It followed the indictment by a federal grand just at Seattle yesterday of Harry A. Jarvinen, 32-year-old travel agency execu tive, on a charge that he gave a baseless tip to ‘the FBI and the Central Intelligence Agency that Lattimore had arranged to buy tickets for a trip to Russia. When issuance of the supposed ly confidential State Depariment order was disclosed by the Balti more Sun on June 20, and then of ficially confirmed, Lattimore de nied categorically that he ever in tended to make such a trip. Frequent Target He has scme times been a coun sultant to the State Department. He has been a frequent target of Sen. McCarthy (R-WIS.) in the senator’s cahrges of Communist influence in government. Latti more has vigorously denied the Senators’s assertions that he has been a Communist agent. He says he has never had any Red con nections. The State Department, whose action in the case has been sub ject to criticism in Congress and the press, stressed today that it acted on the basis of a report from an “official security source.” It said that it followed an 11-year old precedure which was set up to “prevent the possible violation of laws or of government regulations for controlling the travel abroad R R Ro S T :;:);;%;}-}:':a:::» B SRR 2 R :::;-.,_;,-:§:;:::;:;.’;;:;:;:;:;:;:;‘,e;:;:;:;:;:f{et;-»‘ Sy S G A B T el R NN R T P R R R e B 0 L T A PR ’S A @ g SRR TR SRt e T e T T By oh e R B e R T Q/ s RS e ;R B g B 7 g e : M f i E BERe W R @ s e i i TN S R 0 8 G Eenr e % e S 4 :g T % o k IR ‘fs/Z) S, J A R 1 /5 * & b A P 1 S s L g’\ 3 . . . 3 4 7 B 4 o TR i T A g % 1 e N b % ; i 7%.S E : P <e% 2 R < - R % - 3%& R - e iR it £i B e £ SR i R T e ¥ B o EE R S T S e ¥ »” g IR % B 2 Rt T TESTIFIES Actress Marilyn Monroe flashes a smile as she arrives in court in Los Angeles to testify in the trial of two men accused of using the names of famous screen beauties in come-on let ters in a nude picture sales racket.

The compromise had been hammered out by a Senate- House conference committee in a gruellin(gl night session that ended early today. The Senate-House committee knocked out a House amendment by Rep. Talle (R.-Iowa) to re move controls from all commodi ges not under rationing or alloca on. Since nothing is rationed now, and few things are allocated, this would have been a body blow to the administartion control plans. The confcrees also drastically modified a frovision by Rep. Cole (R.-Kas.) to guarantee sellers their price markups based on in dividual rather than industry wide profit mnrargins before the outbreak of the Korean war, The version adopted by the compromise on this point amounts to a restatement of present law. Suffered Blow The administration suffered a blow when the conferees decidea to retain a provision exempting processed fruits and vegetables from price controls. Some Democrats thought the new bill didn't go far enough and didn’t give the administration enough control authority to do the job properly. Administration leaders in the House called the bill workable and predicted the President would sign it. Some Republicans thought it gave the Fresident more control over the people than is needed. The measure sailed through the Senate with only a scattering of “no” votes. The chamber, in passing its original measure Thursday, had riddled the Truman program with ,%mnndmts. Chief of these was he Talle amendment. iy All day yestercay and on into this morning. the conferess worked to iron out the wide and basic differences between Senate and House bilis. They finished their job about 2:30 a. m. today. Compromise Bill Although the final version was closer to the original Senate bill than to the House's, it was a com= promise, In brief summary, it would: 1. Continue through next April 30 authority for wage and price controls, with some revision; and continue authority for allocation and priorities on scarce materials for a full year, to June 30, 1053. 2. End federa%~ rent controls on Sept. 30, except in areas where local government bodies took spec ific action to extend them until April 30. 3.

He also said a large number of the agricultural workers were go ing to help with tobacco crops in North Carolina and truck farm produce in New Jersey. - Mr. Deßeaugrine urges all un employed workers to register with the Employment Office where listings of job opportunities are on file from all over the state of Georgia, as well as many from neighboring states. Among the opening currently listed are positions for engineers draftsmen, machinists, machanics, sheet metal workers, domestic workers, stenographers, salesmen, administrative officers and many other jobs. “Athens employers can save time and money by listing their labor needs with the Employment Service and availing themselves of personnel trained of workers of all kinds,” says the Athens man ager. “The Georgia State Eraployment Service is a clearing house for em ployers and employees, with spec~ ialized services available to both groups. These services are free for the asking.” : e Over - Estimates On Cotfon Crop Resulis In Loss By GORDON BROWN WASHINGTON June 28 (AP) —A House subcommittee said to= day an over-estimate of the 1951 cotton crop by the Agrieulture Department caused a serious break in cotton prices and a resulting loss of millions of dollars to cot ton farmers. A large part of the over-estimate “could and should have m avoided,” the Agriculture committee told the House. Chairman Cooley (D_NC) of the full Agriculture Committee made public the report of the subcoms mittee which was headed by Rep. Abernethy (D-Miss). Cooley named the subcommittee to investiigate tge geparu:ni\ crop reporting and estima pre cedures upon request of Abernethy and others who complained that the estimate of cotton production dropped two million bales between September and December, Miscalculations In assigning the reason for the over-estimate, the subcommittee said that about one-third could be attributed to an error in estimat,_ ing the acreage in cultivation on July 1, and the other two-thirds to failure to reflect properly and promptly bad weather during July and August. The subcommittee said it was “gencouraged to find that the gen« eral accuracy of the department’ cotton _ estimates has g-mi B aoed o i oo g ut 1 eCr - ing board’s methodso"him’i changed for many years “and it ii still possible and probable tha there will be serious errors In its calculations in any adnormal e® unusual years.” Modern method Costly It said a more modern method of estimating crops based om stas, tistical samplings would be mni! more costly an?n lthdoubh% th “improvement the over: ac, curcy would justifiy the increased cost.” “On the other hand the commitsy tee is not satisfied with the wuut! method or the results if produces, said the report. “It believes, horh ever, that this method can be imey proved and that the majom of the bureau should be to that end.” Under the present system, fare mers act as volunteer reporte: sending in their estimates of b& situations to the department. The department says that to assign trained statisicians and other ex perts to the reporting job woul! cost much more mofiey. The group made several recome mendations for improving the crop reporting procedures. Chief among these wag establishment of a re search and analysis unit to devote its full time to analyzing present crop reporting methods, to dis cover reasons for errors and to test new techinques.
