Taft, & . of the chief eandidates for the presiden ‘tial nomination, was in Chicago to take charge of the final week in his campaign. He arrived from Washington by plane early today. Representatives of the Ohio sen ator and Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-, hower, his chief rival for the nom ination, met last night with Guy G. Gabrielson, GOP national chairman, to discuss rules and procedures for settling contests over seating disputed delegations. Another meeting was nlanned today. But the sessions are a pre liminary to the expected show down fight scheduled to start to morrow when the national com mittee begins to hear contests. The contests involve convention votes from eight states and Puerto Rico. The sharpest fight is ex pected to revolve around Texas’ 38 disputed seats. Other delega tions involved in state contests and votes are Florida with 18; Louisiana with six; Georgia and Mississippi, each with four, and Missouri and Kansas with one each. In each contest, there are two sets of delegates seeking recogni tion, one group backing Taft and the other Eisenhower. Gabrielson said appeals from decision of the national committee may be taken to the Credentials Committee. This would carry the fights over contests into the con vention sessions starting next Monday at the International Am phi-theatre. Sen, Henry Cabot Lodge of Mas= sachusetts, Eisenhower’s campaign manager, has said the fight over the seating of the Texas delega tion will be taken to the conven tion floor at the opening session.

Forecasts that the Republicans would be the underdogs in the general election came from two supporters of Gen. Dwight D, Eis« enhower-Gov, Alfred E. Driscoll of New Jersey and Gov.

Only two days before, 27-year old Salvatore Scarnati had been a happy man when a woman listed as Helen Mingey Scarnati, 28, had three girls. Basked In Acclaim He blithely gave pictures to the newspapers and basked in the public acclaim. But yesterday Mrs. Mary Cosal uzzo Scarnati, 27, showed up at a police station. She had seen his picture in the papers. The proud papa, she told police, was her husbhand ¢he father of her 4-year_old daughter. They were married in 1947 and separated in 1950-but, she added, they still were legally wed and he was under court order to pay sl4 a week for the child’s support. The district attorney’s office de olded not to take action against Scarnati, a garage attendant. But it advised Mrs. Scarnati she could apply for a summons charg ing him with adultery, a misde, meanor. Make Him Pay 4 “I'm going to make him pay for all this,” she vowed. Scarnati told officers he also was the father of another of Helen's two children. And he asked plaintively: % “What did I do wrong? My wife won'’t give me a divorce and I love this girl. How can you say I did something wrong?” Then he added: «T knew this would happen, but I didn’t expect it so soon.” June Weather . .

Mrs. Scott was 90 years old and had been in failing health for sev eral years. Services will be conducted Tues day morning at 10:30 o’clock from First Presbyterian Church with Dr. H. B. Ramsey, the pastor, and Dr. Eugene L. Hill, pastor-emeri tus of the church, officiating. Burial will follow in Qconee Hill Cemetery, Bernstein Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Pali-bearers will be Howeil Erwin, jr., Dr, John Hunnicutt, Robert Eberhart, L. L. Lester, W, T. Ray, Charles ftooper and Ed Bishop. Mrs. Scott ig survived bdy 8 daughter, Mrs. Ruth Bridges, Barnesville, Ga.; two sons, How ard and Wﬁl Scoot, both of Athens; two sisters, Miss Addie Ederhart, Athens, and Mrs., May Galuding, Richland, Ga.; brothers, W. § Ebenhart, Athens; eleven grand children and ten great-grandechil dren. Long A Resident Mrs. Scott was a native of Madi son County and had been a resi dent of Athens for eighty-two years, coming here with her family as a girl. She was the widow of the late T. J. Scott, for many years one of the eity’s bést known busi=- ness men. Her marriage to Mr. Scott united family lines for fen erations prominent in the affairs of this section of Georgia. She was a member of First Pres byterian Church and over a long period of years, until her health ‘began to fail, was very active in the women’s affairs of that con gregation. During her long years of residence here, she attracted & large number of friends and these bonds endured without weakening. Mrs. Scott put great store in friend ships and ?ogalty and she had a deep and sympathetic feeling for ’those less fortunate in life than she. Her greatest love, however, was her home and family circle and she was never happier than when the members of that group were with her. She will be greatly missed by the many who knew and loved her for her charm and grace and for the many remarkable traits she possessed, ‘ . .

" ATHENS, GA., MONDAY, JUNE 30, 1954, Seek Additional Funds For Arms WASHINGTON June 30 (AP) ~—Reports of mounting Russian atomic striking power set off a Senate drive today to force the administration to speed up deve- Ivpment of American hithback strength, g . "~ Sen.” O'Mahoney (‘D-m, piloting the 46-billion-dollar . tary appropriations bill through the Senate, said the defense pro gram could be advanced a year by -adding $3,600,000,000 to the near ly six billions cash the bill would provide to expand the Army, Navy and Air Force. The bill is up for passage today. O’Mahoney said he would propose an amendment designed to permit the Pemaggn to spend an extra $3,600,000,000—00n credit. * Chief Goal His chief %gal, he said, is a 143_wing Air Foree by July, 1954, a year ahead of the administra tion’s schedule. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have told congressional committees they expect Russia will reach a peak of power by mid-1954. They said this will mark the start of “a period of greatest danger” to this country. Gen. Nathan F. Twininﬁ, acting head of the Air Force, said Russia soon may have enough atomie bombs to launch & surprise attack plus ‘a reserve for succeeding tries if the first should fail.” He also said Russia now has it least as man{l first-rate combat planes as the U. S. Administration plans call for reaching the U. 8. peak retaliatory strength about mid-1955. The House voted an even longer stret, ch-out. “It makes no sence to build for peak strength in 1056 to meet a menace we expect in 1934” O’Mahoney said. Will Fight Amendment Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich) said he would fight the amendment. He told the Senate Saturday he be lieves the $45,734,750,722 now in the bill would provide all the planes the Air Force can absorb in the next tow years, and “wring some of the luxury” out of Penta_ gon spending policies. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex) said the Joint Chiefs of Staff have informed his prepared ness subcommittee they could have 143 air wings ready by mid-1954 if Congress would put up the money. The huge money bill—the big gest before Congress this year— is about five billions less than President Truman had requested and nearly a half-billion below the total voted by the House. Three Killed In Rome Crash ROME, Ga., June 30—(AP)— A small plane stalled on a takeoff at the municipal airport here to day and crashed onto a runway killing three men, After crashing the plane burst into flames, trapping the three in side, They were burned to death before crash equipment could reach the craft. Airport officials tentatively identified two of the men as Bruce Cumbie and Duke Davis, both of Carrollton, Ga. The third man has yet to be identified. These officials said the three men had ferried three planes here this morning from Carroliton and were returning home in one of the light planes at the time of the crash. Price Curbs End At Midnight Unless Truman Signs Newßill Torrid Weather Shows No Sign Of Letting Up By The Associated Press A Dblistering heat wave, of more than & week’s duration in some areas, showed little let-up over Southern and central parts of the country today. Some rain and wind storms hit parts of the sun-baked sections in the Eastern half of the nation, bringing temporary relief. Rain fell in sections 'of the parched Southern g¢tates where crops are threatened by the prolonged hot dry spell. It was a week-end of stifling heat in many areas. Temperatures in the 90s to as high as 108 were reported in central and Southern states east of the Rockies. Refresh ing breezes and rain storms brought relief to hot spots in sec= tions of the East and South At lantie states. Death Toll The death toll fromy the summer season’s longest stretch of hot weather mounted toward the 200 ‘mark, Thousands of persons have ‘been hospitalized for heat pros trations. Beaches, parks and resort areas were jammed with millions trying to escape the scorching heat. In Chicago, sweltering in the 11th day of 90 degree or higher tem peratures in June, an estimated one million persons swarmed to the city’s dozen Lake Michigan beaches. It was a record June 29 reading of 96, and today’s high of 87 was expected to be followed by a top gt 98 and high humidity on Tues ay. In St. Louis—weary from five consecutive days of temrperatures above 100—the prospect was for more of the same for the next few days. Yesterday’s reading was 104, marking the 25th day of*9o or higher this month. Twenty four persons have died from ef fects of the heat. But in Malden, Mo., the mercury climbed higher — hitﬁzg 108, the top mark posted on the U: S. Wea ther Bureau's map, Kansas City stayed “in thé weather hot-box with a ¢op of 102. It was 104 in Chanute, Kan., 103 in Nashville, 101 in Wichita, 100 in. Memphis and Toledo, 99 in Celumbus, 98 in Cineinnati and Oklahoma City, and 93 in Des Moines. Thunderstorms struck New York City about midnight, dissi pating the threat of immediate hot weather. Brief but violent electrical storms lashed western New York from Buffalo to James town, snapping power lines, up rooting trees snd blocking several highways. Similar storms hit Washington, and various parts of Maryland, which has been hard hit by the hot spell. Winds up to 65 miles an hour swept Baltimore and in the Chesapeake Bay area. Storms struck in sections of the Southeast. One rain belt extended fromr the Tuscaloosn—Birminfham area in Alabama across middle and northern Georgia and over most of northwestern South Car olina. The rain did millions of dollars of good to heat-imperiled tobacco, peanut and melon crops. ROYAL PAY RAISE LONDON, June 30—(AP)— Parliament was urged today to give Queen Elizabeth II a yearly salary of 475,000 pounds or sl,~ 336,000—a raise of $182,000 com=- pared with the wages of her late father. A select committee representing all major parties in Parliament also proposed the queen’s 31-year old husband, the Duke of Edin burgh, be paid 40,000 pounds or $112,000 for life. He now receives an annual allowance of 10,000 pounds. : P G BT R R I AT T 2 g o TR A 8 Bg R I v ; 2 sz it G , 4 4 ; o ST 2 *A Ernr . . o ; oy, | ‘vz'(”r o o % ﬁ,{\ . ”-3 SRR PRGN g oA @ ‘ e B xS P e e N s b 505 R e A P e R """’,‘;-.‘ N} TS i R b Sy 4B Ehrs o %ik s o : e e . e b T T : o TR 7 ‘ ¥, | A T L %, . e A sBoGR .

Leaders in Congress expect him to put his name on the dotted line, even though the measure passed by both the House and Senate in special Saturday sessions in far less than he asked. The fact that the bill survived a strong drive to yank all its teeth was considered a major administration victory. But on the possibility that the President might not sign the meas~ ure—even reluctantly-——congres sional leaders readied an emergen~ cy resolution to continue the pre sent law long enough for Congress to tackle a substitute bill, Ten—Month Extension The controls legislation, finally worked out in a lengthly Senate- House conference, would continue federal authority to regulate wages and prices for 10 months—through next April 30. But it would make several major changes in the present Defense Production Act. These changes would: 1. End rent controls on Sept. 30 excegt in localities whose govern ing bodies veote to extend them to next April 30, and in certified critical defense areas. 2. Toss out controls over credit for consumer goods and for con=- ventional housing loans. The Fed eral Reserve Board could restrict housing credit again if the an nual rate of new houses started passed 1,200,000. The present rate is 1,200,000. 3. Retain the Wage Stabilization Board but with limited power, and make the appointment of its mem bers subject to Senate confirma tion. The board would be deprived of its authority to make recom= mendations in labor disputes un less the management and union agreed to ask the WSB how much of a wage boost might be granted in a dispute. Major Setback A major administration setback was adoption of an amendment to exempt processed fruits and vege tables from price controls. Price control officials said this comprises abicf:ut 11 per cent of th‘eu;musclza wife’s grocery purchases cou mean & big hi% food costs, - The measure also includes a re quest—not binding—that the Pres ident invoke the Taft-Hartley law in the steel strike. This would mean asking for an 80-day strike ~-halting court injunction, which Truman has said would accomp lish nothing permanent. The biggest victory scored by the administration in the compro mise was wiping out a House = approved amendment by Rep. Talle (R-Lowa) which would have exempted from price controls everything not rationed or allocate ed. This would have meant an end b t‘price controls since nothing is rationed and little is allocated. - Korea President Gives Ultimatum PUSAN, Korea, June 30—(AP) —South Korea’s political crisis neared a climax today as President Syngamn Rhee handed the Assom-~ bly an ultimatum—adopt his pro posed constitutional amendments quickly or he would dissolve the legislature, “T will wait only a few more days,” Rhee declared, then “I will take decisive action in compliance with the will of the people.” The 77-year-old president and the National Assembly have been feuding bitterly since January. R h e e demands constitutional amendments providing for popular election of a president and a two house legislature. - The one-house assembly elects the president. It was scheduled to do so last week, but Rhee sup porters forced postponement of the election, HOME EDITION Union Officials Set Talks With S II F. ;‘ malier Firmgs YOUNGSTOWN, June' .m(‘ (AP)—The CIO United -stee workers, their chief says, haye talks set for today in their effort to continue to win strlkejglml i agreements with part of - in=- dustry despite a stalemate with the big producers. Philip Murray, presidentof both the CIO and the steelworkers, dealt harshly with the steel in dustry’s “Big Six” in addressing 4,000 persons at a union rally here yesterday. ¥ o Near the end of the long Murray said heads of many smal_ - ler firms had been seeking him out, trying to bargain to end ; plants’ shutdown from the ‘na tion-wide strike of 650,000 steel workers 29 days ago. . Fear Blacklisting He declined to name the &% but quoted managers of some them as saying they were afraid of being blacklisted by the “Big Six” from whom they bought ore or to whom they sold materials, Later, at a news conference, Murray said the union would meet with some employers today in Pittsburgh and other cities, He named no companies, but the in ference from his speech and com« ference comment was that the un ion was at an impasse, for the time being at least, with the major producers. “The Big Six,” Murray said, was “a conspiracy and its work has been dedicated to frustrating agreement.” “The “Big Six” to which he re ferred are U.
