First New Tank
& :
Gince Last War
Wi
NEWARK, Del. July (AP) —
The Army today unveiled what it
called the first completely new
medium tank to be developed
gince g;orld War ll—streamlined,
more powerful, and almost as
ency to handle as a new automo
bile.
Designated the M-48, or “Patton
45,7 it is being produced at the
Chrivsler tank plant here and at
two other arsenals, Officialg said
sizeable deliveries are expected
pefore the end of the year.
The tank, in the 45 to. 50 ton
¢lass, has several motable new
features.
Various Features
1. A lower silhouette than any
other American tank of corres
ponding size. Present U. S. tanks
have been criticized because their
heicht made them easily spotted.
2. An egg-shaped, sloping ellip
tical hull and turret. This makes
it harder for an enemy shell to
get a “bite” into the armor.
3. Wider treads than present
medium tanks. The wider the
tread, the better the tank can
operate on muddy roads, in swam
by terrain or in snow.
4. A 90-millimeter, high velogity
gun with a quick change tube.
Vith only simple tools, the liner
of the gun barrel can be changed
in the field in minutes instead of
sending the tank back to the rear
areas for replacement of a whole
new gun when repeated firing has
worn the rifling of the tube.
Interior Operations
5. A §O-caliber machine gun on
¢op of the turret which can be
simed, fired and loaded from
within the tank. No longer does
the gunner have to stand with
head and shoulders exposed to
enemy fire,
The tank js named for the late
Gen. George S. Patton, famous
World War ¥ eemmander and a
leading exponent of armor. His
widow was invited te christen the
new tank today in ceremonies pre
gided over by Secretary of the
Army France Pace.
The Patton 48 will use a four
man erew, one less than present
medium tanks -— a tank eom
mander, driver, gunner and load-
Powep steering and other fea
turcs practieally eliminate driver
fatigue, the Army claims.
The power plant is a V-12, 810-
forsepower, awreoeled Ordnance—
Continental engine, already battle
tested in Korea.

South Carolina, a leader of the
anti-Truman wing in the South,
was expected to reply at a news
conference today.
Williams said Michigan would
stand strongly for the 1948 plat-‘

Truman’s since-stymied program
of federal legislation aimed at job
discrimination, lynching and the
poll tax.
Williams told a news confer

be satisfied with anything less |
than the 1948 platform.”
Williams made it clear he goes
further than Governor Adlai Ste

President Truman’s civil rights
proposals. Stevenson said he
hopes the Democrats can compro

New Jersey Man
Dies In Wreck
An auto accident, occuring on
Highway 29, four miles north of
Danielsville and involving a pass
enger car and a tractor trailer
truck, yesterday claimed the life
of Kenneth M. Hart, resident of
West Englewood, N. J. The acci
dent occured at 2:25 yesterday af
ternoon.
Two other pesons, Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Medvel, of Fort Lee, N. J.,
were injnred in the collision while
Mr. Hart’s wife emerged from the
wreck uninjured.
The driver of the truck, Banks
Samuel Pigg, was also uninjured
and has been charged with driving
to fast for existing conditions. He
is a resident of Tampa, Fia., and
was driving a truck operated
by the Interstate Brokers of Lake
land, Fla.
The accident came as a result of
Mr. Pigg applying brakes on a
curve with his trailer carrying a
light load, according to the inves
tigation of State Patrolman. The
road was reportedly too wet for
the sudden application of brakes
and the trailer jacknifed and
swung across the road, hitting the
rear of the automobile driven by
Mr| Medvel in which Mr. Hart was
riding.
Realizing the danger, Mr. Med
vel attempted to leave the road ta
avoid collission with the trailer
but was unable to get out of reach
of the careening trailer.
After the impact of the crash
the trailer broke loose from the
truck, crossed into a field after
skidding from the shoulder of the
road.
The victim of head, neck and
chest injuries, Mr. Hart died en
route to an Athens hospital. Mr.
and Mrs. Medvel were reported in
“good condition” by attendants at
Athens General Hospital this
morning.
Mr. Hart, 50, is survived by his
wife and two sons, Kenneth, jr.;
and William J. Hart, United States
Navy.
He was a native of England and
had never been naturalized. A
member of the Masons and the
Episcopal Church, Mr. Hart was
an automobile salesman.
Funeral services will be con
ducted Friday in West Englewood
and the body will leave here to
night over the Seaboard Airline
Railway at 8:48 o'clock. Bidges
F_q,%ral Home was in charge of

Steelmen Plug
For Deals With |
Smaller Firms
PITTSBURGH July 1 (AP) —
A big steel company which grant
ed 25-cent hourly pay boosts to
its non-striking employes asked
the government today for a price
increase while the striking CIO
United Steel-workers tried to sign
up more small firms to new con
tracts.
Weirton Steel Co., a subsidiary
of National Steel Corp., asked gov~
ernmental permission to raise its
price $5.50 a ton to help cover
increased labor costs. There was
no immediate reaction from price
control officials in Washington,
Produces Tin Plates
The company, an important pro
ducer of tin plate and other prod
ucts with 11,500 employes in Weir
ton, W. Va., and Steubenville, Pa.,
last week signed a contract with
the independent steelworkers for a
16-cent hourly pay boost, plus nine
cents in fringe benefits. The com
pany does not bargain with the
CIO-USW.
Weirton employes earned an av
erage of $2.11 an hour in May,
counting premium pay, compared
with about $1.95 for the USW
members.
The USW has signed more than
30 smaller steel firms to new con
tracts based on the recommenda=-
tions of the Wage Stabilization
Board. But none of the six largest
steel producers have come to
terms with the union, and -ap
proximately 600,000 USW men re

walkout.
Latest Signer
Latest to sign is Harrisburg, Pa.
Steel Corp., which employs 1,250
workers. The plant will resume
production immediately.
The firm signed a pact last night
calling for a wage increase of ap
proximately 15 cents an hour,
modified union shop, six‘paid holi
days and three weeks vacation an
nually for 15 years service.
The modified union shop means
new employes must join the union
but can withdraw between their
20th and 30th day of employment.
Meanwhile, leaders of the unien
are meeting with other small com
panies across the nation but the
sessicns are clezely guarded se

been identified.
The big companies, such as U. S.

Dr. Aderhold Tells Church Group
Of State Need For Rural Education
Dr. C. O. Aderhold, President
of the University of Georgia,
gave the afternoon address at the
Meadow Baptist Church, this
weekend in celebration of Rural
Life Sunday. The service was
sponsored by the Madison County
Ministrial Conference of which
Rev. Ralph Parvin of Ila is the
current president.
Dr. Aderhold emphasized in his
speech, “The Need of Education
in Modern Rural Georgia”, that an
adequate education is important
as a means of keeping our way of
life for this generation and for
those to follow.
The University president furth
er stated that war showed us the
need of education. The miracle of
production has been achieved be~
cause of the background of edu
cation. The vast quantities of food
produced on farms by fewer peo
ple but by labor-saving equipment
was another result of this exten
sive knowledge he said. Hitler
knew and Stalin knows that ig
norant people cannot accomplish
much. In America Iwe have a;] de!-
mocrac, shich places emphasis
upon fl{e g\lg{vidual. 1t is impor
tant for a man to think for him
self and to be eoncerned about
ihe welfare of his neighbor. This,
the speaker stated, is the Ameri~
can way of life. Thomas Jeffer=
son said that America's free way
couldn’t live without education as
a basis.

GOP National Committee Walks Qut
On TV Cameras In Delegate Dispute
Battle For 72 Vital Nominating
Votes Roars Into Decision Stage
BY ED CREAGH
CHICAGO, July I.—(AP)—The Republican National
Committee walked out on television cameras today as it
took up the question of deciding contests between rival
delegations to next week’s convention.
US Government
Denies Acheson’s
Brifish Apology
WASHINGTON, July I.—(AP)
—The State Department says Sec
retary of State Acheson told the
British the United States made an
error in failing to notify them be
fore American planes bombed
power plants in North Korea.
He did not use the word “apol
ogy” or express regrets for this
failure, the department said. The
official text of his statement to
members of Parliament last week
was released after a demand by
Senator Knowland (R.-Calif.) for
full publicity.
Dispatches from London that
Acheson “apologized” to the Brit
ish raised a furor in Congress.
What the secretary really said,
the departnrent said, was this:
“It is only as a result of what
in the United States is known as
a ‘snafu’ that you were not con
sulted about it.
“What I want to say is that you
are a partner of ours in this oper
ation, and we want to consult you;
we should have and we recognize
an error , ..
“If you ask me whether you had
an absolute right to be consulted,
1 should say no, but I don’t want
to argue about absolute right.”

Weather Survey
A monthly summary from the
Weather Bureau here shows that
the average temperature for the
month of June was 81.5.
| This reading, the Bureau dis
: closed, is the second hottest June
on record for this area. June of
19%4 was the hottest recorded with
an average temperature of 81.8.
High reading for this past
month was 101, which was record
ed for the 27th day of the month.
Lowest temperature, occurring in
the early morning hours, was 61
on the second day of June. For 25
days during this month, the tem
perature ranged from 90 to 101
degrees, with 100 or more read=-
ings taken on three days.
Review of June 1914 records
shows that the temperature
ranged from 100 to 105 on nine
days. The highest temperature
ever reported here in June was
107 degrees on June 29, 1931.
Precipitation this past month
totaled 4.1 inches, which was near
normal, the bureau said. Rain fell
on 15 days and there was thunder
storm activity on 18 days. The
greatest amount during an 24-hour
period was 1.05 inches on June 19.
Recorded were 11 clear days,
17 partly cloudy and two cloudy
days. The average monthly station
pressure was 29.15.

as the fundementals of an educa
tional program, first, the develop
ment of a healthy body and mind
in each individual. There must be,
he stated, an emotional and in
tellectual balance. Physical health
is very important.
The second fundemental is the
three “R’s” of reading, 'riting and
rithmetic. Another is built on the
belief that each individual has
the opportunity to be creative. It
is well to create more beauty in
the home, in the church, and in
the community. The farmer who
doesn’t like to create a fine ani
mal or a fine crop does not pro
mote growth,
We should help the young and
the middleaged make wise choices
about their ocupations. Years ago
there was no opportunity to
choose. Today there are more than
32,000 socially recognized occu
pations. After the choice of occu
pation has been made, the educa
tional institution should help the
person prepare for the job.
Today's farmer, in order to suc
ceed, must know much about
grasses, livestock, and machinery.
The State Agricultural Extension
Service, the 4-H Clubs and the
churches are a great help to the
educating of the farmers.
Develop Education
Dr. Aderhold added thal the ed
ucational program must develop
gkills and it must conserve natural
resources. The great hope of Am
erica is the intelligence of people
to develop resources. The chal-
The fight between Sen. Robert
A. Taft of Ohio and Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower for the GOP presi
dential nomonation was at the
heart of the delegate dispute.
Sudden Shift
Meeting nearly a half-hour late,
the 106-member National Commit
tee suddenly shifted its meeting
place from a third-floor ballroom
to a second-floor room at the Con
rad Hilton Hotel, leaving TV
lights blazing and TV cameras
with nothing to photograph.
Convention sergeant - at - arms
Charles Hacker roared out the an
nouncement of the change of plans.
“Cameras and microphones will
not be admitted to the new meet
ing place until there is a decision
by the committee,” he shouted
above the din that filled the room,
Other officials said it was pos
sible the National Comnrittee it
' self would change its mind and
allow telecasting.
Seventy-two voters at next
weeks’ national convention were
at stake.
In a close race—and this one
looks nip-and-tuck —the GOP
presidential nomination might
well be decided by the committee’s
recognizing delegates favoring .
Senator Robert A. Taft or those
backing Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower. The latest Associated Press
delegate count shows 475 for Taft
and 409 for Eisenhower. Nomina~
tion requires 604.
Appeals Probable
Eisenhower’s backers say the
National Committee is packed with
Taft men. They threaten to appeal
the committee’s decision to the
convention credentials committee
and to wage a floor fight at the
convention itself if the ruling on |
‘the state delegations go against
the general.
Taft’s supporters—with the Ohio
senator here in person to direct
the campaign—undoubtedly would
make similar appeals in the event
of a decision favoring Eisenhower.
The Taft people gave a little
ground’ last night. They finally
agree.s in a subcommittee session
to allow rival delegations from
Texas and Louisiana an hour and
a half each to make their argu
' ments.
~ Eisenhower’s headquarters hail
ed this as “a major victory at this
convention for public opinion.”
Noting that the Taft forces
wanted to limit argument to the
traditional 30 minutes, the Eisen=-
hower statement said the change
of heart proves that public opin
ion “can force the convention of=-
ficials to held an open, unrigged
convention.”
This went back to the Eisenhow=-
er backers’ charge—heatedly de
nied by their oppenents—that the
Taft people have stolen delegates
and grabbed control of the con
vention machinery. In fact, Taft
backers are running the show at
Chicago. But they bridle at any
suggestion that they rigged the
machinery.
TV Deadlock
In spite of the compromise on
arguing time today, there was at
least a temporary deadlock on TV.
Taft, once opposed to letting the
fireworks explode on the nation’s
television screens, changed signals
yesterday and told a news confer
ence TV was all right with him if
it was all right with the National
Committee.
The Eisenhower camp came out
with thig statement:
“We shall continue to insist that
the committee hearings on dele~
gate selection be open to the radio
and television industry and to the
press photographers. They have a l
perfect right to be there and to
(Continued On Page Two) |
‘ lenge today is to the farm people.
They must use the findings of re-
Isearch to conserve the soil, the
forests, and the pasture lands.
In narrowing down his message
| the speaker asked these questions:
| Does the individual church con
tribute to the development of
these educational fundementals?
Are the schools and homes con
tributing? We should see that the
county agencies aid in this devel
opment. The University is trying
to staff itself with the finest
teachers possible in order to find
the answers to the problems of
today.
The Uniyersity, the speaker
stated, Is doing all in its power
through training in leadership to
carry the answers to the farmers
of the state. The business of mak
. ing a new Georgia is the business
of education.
The fundementals of Christiani
ty are the same as those of edu
cation. Jesus Christ was concerned
about every individual, and the
only way a person can enter the
kingdom of Heaven is through
individual choice. Jesus empha
sized that each man should be
concerned about the welfare of
those about him.
Dr. Aderhold ciosed his mes~
sage by saying, “As lay leaders,
whatever we can do to promote
the fundamentals of education and
'ot christianity will make a
stronger of life.” SN

Senate Passes Defense
Budget For 46 Billion
. .
Gives Air Force
e .
Building Help
BY JERRY T. BAULCH
WASHINGTON, July I.—(AP)
—The Senate last night approved
'a $46,403,000,000 budget to run the
armed forces for the fiscal year
starting today, nearly five billion
dollars less than President Tru
man asked.
The measure, the largest money
bill before Congress this year,
carries a provision Senator O'Ma
honey (D.-Wyo.) said assured the
Air Force it could finance a build
up of 143 wings by mid-1955. The
present Air Force is a little over
90 wings.
The finai total for the military
services will have to be worked
| out in conference with the House,
which voted $46,207,000,000. The
administration had = requested
$51,390,000,000.
Roll Call Vote
In approving the armed forces
budget on a 66-0 roll call vote, the
Senate completed its version of all
money legislation except a 10~
billion-dollar supplenrentary fund
now before the appropriations
committee. A vote on this is ex
pected Thursday.
However, both the Senate and
House will have to reconsider
eight appropriations bills—in ade
dition to the military budget—
which are in conference commit
tee.
Congress has sent only one
money measure to the President
but legislators hope to clear all 11
bills before Saturday, a target
date they've set for adjournment
in order to attend the national
political conventions this month,
| Major Difference
A major difference between the
Senate and House versions of the
‘armed services budget is in the
manner of laying out Air Force
funds. '
The Senate voted $21,122,361,700
and the House $20,752,412,912,
comrpared with $22,570,289,770 the
President asked, The House voted
its funds all in cash but the Sen- |
ate stipulated that $13,122,361,700
would be in cash and eight million
in contract authority.
. This authority permits contracts
to be mad: with the assurance
that Congress will vote to pay the
bills later,
The Senate bill does not include
a House provision - opposed -by
the admimstration—to place a 46~
billion-dollar lid on spending for
the fiscal year, six billion below

German Commies
Set 'Death Zone’
Around Berlin
BERLIN July 1 (AP) — West
Berlin police said today the Bast
zone Communists have started to
clear a strip 30 to 50 yards wide
“around Berlin, beginning what
looks like a “death zone” round
the city.
West Berlin newspapers said
watchtowers have been erected to
look down on the cleared area,
with machineguns mounted, ready
to shoot down any person cressing
the line into the no-man’s land.
The strip, cleared of frees along
the wooded land bordering the
British sector at Spandau, was sm}
to resemble the no-man's land con
structed along the Iron Curtain
frontier between the Soviet zene
and West Germany.
Berlin is an island 100 miles ine
side the Soviet occupation zeme in
Germany. By a series of prohibiy
tiong in the past month, with prese
sure on Berlin constantly inereas=
ing, the residents of the Alliedw
held Western sectors have been
kept out of the Soviet zome by
Communist authorities,
No public warning has been is=
sued thus far, however, that -
sons crossing the no-man’s m
line around Berlin without authe
rization would be shot.
Whatever the latest Communist
precautions, an even dozen Hast
German People’s Police deserted
to the West in the past 24 hours
and sought refuge in West Berlin,
authorites announced. This
brought the total number of Peo
ple’s Police defectors in the past
month to 107,
Peace Sessions
Still Deadlocked
MUNSAN, KOREA Julyl—
(AP)—The Communists today ac
cused the U. N. command of
“seeking pretexts for creating new
incidents” as truce negotiators re
turned to Panmunjom following a
three-day Allied-imposed reeess.
North Korean Gen. Nam IL blaste
ed the U. N, for insisting that the
Reds pinpoint, the location of four
prison camps in North Korea. His
charge was included in a letter
handed to Allied liaison officers a
few minutes before negotiators be~
gan another futile attempt to
break the long armistice deadlock.
Maj. Gen, William K. Harrison
jr., told the Reds “if the prisener
of war issue is settled, an armis~
tic will result without delay.”
He pointed out that the Allied
draft on prisoners exchange reads
that “all prisoners of war held in
the custody of each side” will be
released, and an exchange made
according to “lists which have
been . , checked” by each side.
