thetic fiber facilities with a capa
city of about 600 million pounds
a year,
DPA announced that the rapid
tax write-off benefits would be
given only to plants making ny
lon.
Mr. Brown stressed that the De
partment of Defense and the
Munitions Board strongly urged
approval of the applications cov
ering nylon. This production is
needed to direct defense require
ments, such as parachutes, tire
cord for airplane tires, among
other items, he said.
“In opposing indiscriminate
granting of tax benefits, the cot
ton industry has always insisted
that if additional production is
needed for defense we certainly
would not oppose the govern
ment's taking whatever steps are
necessary to meet the need,” Mr,
Brown declared.
“The action of DPA in limiting
tax benefits to nylon supports the
arguments we have made all along
that additional subsidied produc
tion of most synthetic fibers, par
ticularly rayon, are not needed,”
Mr. Brown declared. “We offered
evidence to the defense agency,
proving beyond reasonable doubt,
that present and anticipated pro
duction of natural and synthetic
fibers is sufficient to meet fore
seeable needs of these fibers. Na
turally, I am pleased that DPA
recognized the soundness of our
case.”
Unfair Advantage
Mr. Brown said granting of rap
id tax amortizations on all pend
ing applications would, in effect,
“have subsidized an industry
which is in direct competition to
cotton, The plants, although built
under the guise of defense and
supposedly with no peace-time
commercial value, would have re
mained in production after the
present emergency ended. Because
of the favorable tax treatment,
these synthetic plants would have
enjoyed an unfair competitive ad
vantage.”
The Georgia representative de
clared that information accumula
ted by DPA undouptedly estab
lished a direct military need for
the additional nylon capacity. On
~other fibers, even the most ardent
~advocate of government assistance
for further expansion accepts the
\ fact that a case could not be made
.out, he said.
“I hope this ends, once and for
sait FP OBT ER? .
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, 'GFORGIA
all, efforts of some group to use
the defense efforts as the means
whereby special tax treatment can
be obtained for expanding produc
tion facilities which clearly are
not not needed,” Mr. Brown said.
“The truth of the matter is that
in almost all cases the synthetic
fibers industry planned to expand
their productive capacity as a nor
mal business procedure. Applica
tions for tax subsidies were filed
as an afterthought.
Assures Farmers
“Cotton farmers of this country,
who only one year ago expanded
production by more than 50 per
cent in less than a year’s time to
meet the nation’s military and ci
vilian requirements at the urgent
request of the government, can
now be reassured they will not be
placed at a competitive disad
vantage in the years ahead. I am
sure they join with me in regard
ing this section by DPA as a
sound and constructive step.

Stevenson Gives
No Comment On
Draft Movement
HOUSTON, Tex. July 1 (AP)—
Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois
said Monday he will decide later
what to do in the “unlikely” event
that a move develops to draft him
for the Democratie presidential
nomination.
The Illinois governor, considered
by many in his party as one of
the likeliest prospects for nomina
tion at the Chicago convention
opening July 21, told a news con
ference here he still is running
only for re-election as governor.
But he left the door open to
what he said is an “unlikely”
move to draft him, although he
said he would not participate
either openly or secretly in any
such move.
Here for the annual governors
conference, Stevenson read a state
ment, smiled at reporters and
added:
“It will do you no good, gentle
ment, to ask any further ques
tions.”
Stevenson’s statement came after
Govs. Alfred E. Driscoll of New
Jersey and Walter Kohler of Wis
consin had agreed in a joint news
conference that the GOP foces an
unhill battle in November no mat
ter whom the party picks for its
neminee.
Democratic governors generally
said they were confident of victory
for their party in November. But
they shied away at predicting who
would win the nomination.

Fights Union Shop
Only yesterday U. S. Steel sent
letters to all of its employes say
ing it is not trying to wreck their
union but is fighting the union
shop issue because *“voluntarism,
freedom of choice . ... is the back
bone of our society.”
The paralyzing strike which be
gan June 2 is bitting even deeper
into the nation’s economy in gen
eral and the national defense pro
gram in particular.
Idleness in industries dependent
on steel for raw material has al
ready passed the 250,000 mark and
is mounting rapidly. Many of the
steelworkers are seeking financial
assistance foxm welfare agencies.
Each day of the week finds new
hundreds of workers in allied in

(Continued From Page One)
Driscoll of New Jersey charged at
the governers’ meeting itself that
duplication in taxes and services
'is causing a billion dollar a year
waste in tax dollars.
Republican Governor Val Peter
son of Nebraska twice tried to
get the conference to recommend
Ithat the states abandon federal
grants and finance such programs
‘as vocatinnal education or high
way building.
! Referring to widespread com
| plaints against federal control of
i many state activities, he said
! bluntly: “Either we put up some
! money or shut up.” .
| More Criticisms
! Governor Arthur B. Langlie of
Washington. a Republican, and
lothers spoke critically of the fact
that the government is taking
| more and more of the states’ tax
]revenue.
Governnr Elbert Carvel of Dela
ware, a Democrat, pointed out,
however, that the federal budget
{is weighted down by a necessary
' seven billion dollars for rearma
}ment and foreign aid.
i\ But Republican Governop Dan
iThornton of Colorado declared
there is altogether too mruch fed
‘eral contrcl over the states. He
said “sooner or later, we ought to
‘figure out which services can be

Smith Services
Sef For Today
Fugene Gordon Smith, 80, well
known Bogart resident, died in a
iocal hospital Monday afternoon at
4:30 o'clock after a short illness.
Services were to be conducted
at the graveside in Rest Haven
Cemetery, Washington, Ga, this
afternoon at 5 o'clock with Rev.
B. C. Mateson officiating.
Selected as pallbearers were
Lloyd Smith, Rudolph Smith, Au
brey Chafin, Cicero Lucas, Charles
Lucas and Harry L. Kirk. Bern
stein Funeral Home was in charge
of arrangements.
Mr. Smith is survived by two
sister, Mrs, Lola Smith Pope,
Washington, Ga., and Mrs. P. B.
Wise, Bogart, and one brother,
Rev. J. R. Smith, Atlanta.
The Smith family moved from
Maryland to an extentive planta
tion in Wilkes County Ga., just af
ter the Revolutionary War and it
was there Mr. Smith was born on
August 15, 1872. For the past se
veral years he had been a resident
of Bogart.

bring the proceedings to the Am
erican people.” There was some
question whether news camera
men would be admitted.
While all this was poing on,
convention headquarters announc
ed the speakers who will address
next week’s convention after the
keynote is struck by Gen. Douglas
MacArthur.
They include former President
Hoover—down for Tuesday night
—and one of the party’s contro
versial figures, Senator Joseph R.
McCarthy of Wisconsin, scheduled
to speak Wednesday afternoon.
Another Wednesday speaker:
Pennsylvania Governor John S.
Fine. He’s the man whose state
delegation may turn the tide to
ward Taft or Eisennower if the
outcome of the delegate contest
doesn’t.
Flordia's contest—over 18 dele
gates—was the first to come up for
consideration.
It’s been decided to take up the
controversies according to the al
phabetical order of the seven states
involved in disputes.
That means probably the tough
est fight of all, to decide whether
Texas’ 38 votes go to Taft or Ei
senhower, won’t be reached today
and may not even occur until
Thursday.
GERMAN SOLDIERS
REBURIED
NI Deggen, Germany (AP)—The
last of the German Wehrmacht’s
World War II fallen soldiers have
found their final resting place
after seven years. They had been
lying in temporary graves hastily
dug during the desperate battles
of early 1945 by the retreating
Germans.
The German War Dead Cemet
ery Organization has now moved
them to mew cemeteries in the
Rhineland. One of these is the
largest military cemetery in West
ern Germany. It lies in the Huert
gen Forest—site of one of the war’s
bloodiest battles. The bodies of
the Allied soldiers killed in the
“Devil’s Forest” as it was called
by the American Gl's were moved
to large military cemetries in Bel
gium and Luxembourg shortly af
ter the end of hostilities.
The Huertgen cemetery will be
dedicated in a solemn ceremony
late in August. Three thousand
Germans sare interred there. Their
graves are marked by white stone
crosses. But one third of the 3,000
graves are filled by unknown
soldiers.
DANGEROUS APPROACH
A too-close approach of the
moon to the earth would break the
moon into many pieces, starting
world-wide tidal waves, volcanic
eruptions, and possibly wiping out
human life.
