The appeal came from: Sen.

Blasts Communism
Russell, who is campaigning for

has brought the greatest challenge
ever to face the free people of the
world.
“There is only one way fto
peace,” he said, “and that is the
assembling of military strength,
the pooling of all the resources
and potential production of the
free world against the cause of
Communism.”
The Georgia senator said the
free world is dealing with a foe
that understands only the lan
guage—the language of force.
Soviets Teach Lies
“We have found that it Is im
possible to appeal to Russia on the
basis of justic, reason, or mor
ality,” he said. “The Communists
teach their youth the great lie,
that dishonesty is a laudable
means to the end they seek.”

Gunfire Is Used
To Stop Rioters
JACKSON, Mich., July T—(AP)
—A new uprising was quelled
quickly at Southern Michigan Pri
son last night after 140 rioting
convicts seized two hostages and
won concessiong from prison of
ficials,
One rioter was wounded by
buckshot fired by state police, sta=-
tioned at the;g@n since the wild
révolt of th ‘monthis ago. The
troopers fired a few shotgun blasts
into the rioting cellblock in their
first move to restore order.
Hostages Unharmed
The hostages, both prison
guards, were released’ unharmed
after state police withdrew and
prison authorities agreed to ease
three restrictions in force since
the April mutiny,
It was in this same prison, the
world’s largest walled prison, that
one convict was killed, eight oth
ers wounded, and a million dol
larg worth of prison property de
stroyed by a four-day riot last
April 20-24.
The leaders of last night’s up=-
rising were among those in soli
tary for their part in the original
rioting.
Fearful that the new riot might
spread over the prison, Warden
Julian Frisbie today ordered that
all prisoners be fed in shifts, that
all inmates be locked in their cells
for the day and that all prison in
dustries be closed.
Small Scale Revolt
The April riot sparked a general
revolt among the prisoners. But
last night’s was confined to only
140 of the 6,000 convicts in the
huge institution.
The most tense moment in the
new revolt eame when rioters
shouted they would throw the two
hostage guards off a fifth story
cellblock balcony to the concrete
floor below if state police failed
to retire. The troopers drew back.

Imminent As GOP Convention Opens
First Big Test Comes In Fight
To Change Rules On Floor Votes
IV WilMilyV IWWIVe Vil 1 IVVI TVi
BY JACK BELL
CHICAGO, July 7. — (AP) — Republicans open their
26th presidential nominating convention today with lead
ers desperately trying to compromise one of the angriest
disputes in the GOP’s 96 years of existence. i
Active Attempt
For Nominafion
By The Associated Press =
The din of Republicans opening
their national convention in Chi
cago Monday drowned out the
sound of other political activity
throughout the nation.
Candidates for the Democratie
presidential nomination continued
to woo delegates, with their own
convention only two weeks off.
But they held their heavy cam
pnifn fire for the most part obvi
ously content to let the GOP en
joy the spotlight.
Major Development
The only major development
outside Republican ranks over the
weekend was an announcement by
Vice President Alben Barkley that
he will actively seek the Demo
cratic presidential nomination. The
74-year-old veteran politician had
previously maintained he would
accept the party’s No. 1 spot but
would not seek it.
Barkley said he changed his
mind at the urging of many
friends throughout the eounx
Saying his duties as presiding of
ficer of the Senate had prevented
him from entering any state presi
dential primaries or from eontact«
ing delegates, the vice president
said he would confer w?th dele
gates at the party’s convention in
Chicago.
There are now an even half
dozen candidates actively seeking
the Democratic nomination. Be
sides Barkley, they are Sen. Estes
Kefauver of Tennessce, Sen. Rich
ard B. Russell of Georgia, Sen.
Brien McMahon of Connecticut,
Sen. Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma
and Mutual Security Administra=-
tor Averell Harriman of New
York.
Kefauver carried his campaign
Into Minnesota this week. He ar
rived in the state last night with a |
speech at Montevideo, where he ‘
gaid corruption in government will ‘
not be a major election issue this
year because it is “bi-partisan.” ‘
Russell Schedule
Russell scheduled a busy week |
of meeting Democratic delegates,
starting in Alabama today, going
to Arkansas tomorrow and to In=-
diana on Wednesday.
Harriman was in Indianapolis
today conferring with Indiana
Democratic delegates. He will
campaign in Michigan on Thurs=
day and Friday. ‘
Another event on this week’s po- |
litical calendar is a Democratie |
primary in South Carolina tomor
row to nominate candidates for
six U. 8. House seats.
The Progressive party wound up |
its national convention in Chicago
yesterday after nominating Vin
cent Hallinan, 56, a San Francisco
lawyer, as presidential candidate,
and Mrs. Charlotta Bass, 62, New
York Negro, as his vice-presiden~-

Athenians Evince Great Interest
In Republican Convention T his Week
By LEON DRISKELL
The Classic City—nestled as it is in the heart of the Solid South
~has its eyes focused this week on Chicago and the Republican
Convention,
Fwom interviews with a number of people on the streets of Ath
ens this morning, the conclusion was reached that a great deal of
importance is being placed on the outcome of the GOP convention.
Some persons interviewed expressed the opinion that the selec
tion of a Republican nominee would play a decisive part in the
eventual selection of a Democratic Presidential candidate.
One person went so far as to predict that Truman would throw
his hat in the ring if Taft received the GOP blessing this week.
Persons interviewed includéd housewives, business executives,
Hotessional people, students, and clerical workers,
rs. Lloyd Hitchcock, Sr., was of the opinion that “it's impossible
to predict who'll get the nomination”. “A psychological move
ment”, she added, “could shift the picture entirely”.
Mrs. Hitchcock hastened to voice her personal choice among Re
publicans—that of Eisenhower, but was not confident of his nomi
nation by the Grand Old Party. Taft’s organization, she termed
“one of long-standing”.
Dan Hill, well-known theatre executive, concurred with Mrs.
Hitchcock in that he was not at all sure who would get the nomi
nation. “If Ike gets the nomination”, he said forcibly, “he’ll carry
the country overwhelmingly”. .
Like 1912 Convention
Mr. Hill eompared the present scramble for delegates in the
GOP National Committee to the convention of 1912 in which the
Republicans led by Teddy Roosevelt bolted the convention against
Taft (Bob Taft's father). He further asserted that Eisenhower will
make possible a strong two-party system: in the South if he is nom=
inated (taking for granted his election).
Miss Guthrie Tolbert, 19 year-old Senior at the University and
a resident of Comer, expressed the opinion that Taft will receive
the GOP nomination and will be elected to the highest office in
the land. While Miss Tolbert was not too elated over the prospect,
ghe was firm in her convictions that he would win. Her personal
choice—so far as the Refimblicans go—she sald is Eisenhower.
“gt course, I think Russell is the best qualified of them all”, she
added.
Her opinion that Taft will succeed in his campaign, she based
on his control of delegates and the National Committee. From her
experience on the University Campus, she drew the conclusion
that Eisenhower is the favored candidate over his opponent from

ATHENS, GA,, MONDAY, JULY 7, 1952,
Behind the polite preliminaries
and the gaudy trappings, a party
sundering fight boiled ominously
between General Dwight D.
Eisenhower and Senator Robert A.
Taft over contested delegates from
Southern states which almost
never vote Republican,
It could come to a showdown
vote — possibly forecasting the
ultimate winner of the nomination
—in an opening session previously
degigned to clear away routine
matters before tonight’s keynote
address by General Douglas Mac~
Arthur,
N 9 Comproimse
Taft's backers seemed unlikely
te accept a compromise proposal
pushed strongly b{ Senator Wil
liamy Knowland of California. It
wag designed to avoid a televised
floor fight on the issue of whether
contested delegates could vote on
the seating cos other disputed dele
gates.
Wrapped up in this is one of
Eisenhower’s strongest talking
points in his bid for the nomina
tion —the charge that if Taft is
chosen it would be with the help
of “stolen” voges from such states
as Texas, Louisiana and Georgia.
Against this, Taft contended he
had the backing of 537 telegraph
ically-pledged delegates. He said
about 100 more are leaning his
way. He said all were legally
elected. A total of 604 is needed
for the nomination.
Nevertheless, many delegates
feit that Eisenhower’s backers
would be able to put over in a test
vote a change in the rules to bar
disputed delegates from voting on
seating contests.
If this happened, it could be re
garded as & psychological setback
for Taft on a side issue. It might
have a telling effect on his chances
when the conventlon gets down to
voting on the nomination later in
the week.
~ Although the Ohio senator’s
supporters obviously recognized
the risks ianvolved, they indicated
after an early-morning meeting in
the hotel suites of National Chair
man Guy G. Gabrielson they are
not in & mood for compromise.
The meetting was arranged by
Senator Knowland, a supporter of
Governor Earl Warren’'s bid for
the presidential nomination.
Along with Arthur Summerfield,
Michigan national committeeman;
Goverhor John S. Fine of Penn
sylvania &nd others, Knowland
had drafted a compromise pro
posal.and put it up to Tom Cole
man of Wisconsin, Taft's conven~
tion floor nranager.
Previously, Senator Henry Ca
bot Lodge, jr., of Massachusetts,
Eisenhower's national campaign
manager, had announced Gover=
nor Arthur B. Langlie of Wash
ington would move to amend the
rules so that no contested delegate
could vote ¢n any seating dispute.
This would have blacked out 85
delegates in seven states. It would
have kept credentials committes
members from those seven states
from voting in that committee on
the contests.

Deadlock On Money Bills
Halts Solon Adjournment
Aderhold Talks
To Officials On
Navy Occupation
University President 0. C.
Aderhold left Athens Sunday night
for Washington where he will con
fer with Admiral Dubose of the
Navy Department on plans for the
repair and occupation of Coordi
nate Campus for use by the Navy
as a Naval Supply School. Dr.
Aderhold arrived in the Capitol
this morning and probably began
his negotiations with the Admiral
early this afternoon.
Congressman Paul Brown noti
fied the Athens Chamber of Com
merce of the fact that the Athens
Naval Supply School has been in
cluded in the authorization and
appropriation bills. His telegram,
received this morning, stated that
the appropriations is for $2,030,-
000.
Working Out Details
Dr. Aderhold’s meeting with
Admiral Dubose is for the pur
pose of working out details of the
Navy’s occupation of the Campus
and proposed plans of repair and
additional construction prior to
the time that they occupy the site.
Dr. J. A. Williams, assistant to
the President, stated today that
the tentative date for the Navy’'s
occupation of the property has
been set for December 20—several
days-after the end of fall quarter
at the University, “This date”, he
said, “was determined because of
the probability that we will need
to use the facilities for accom
modating our enrollment.”
Work was begun by University
and State officials to get the Navy
School placed here in December
of last year and chances are that
occupation of the property will
take place within a year of the
conception of the idea. Dr. Will
iams stated that details of the
school and plans for the repairs
and construction will not be avail
able until Dr. Aderhold returns
from Washington. The date of his

More than 600 Americans died
violent deaths over the four-day
Independence Day week end.
The toll was far from a record
for a holiday week end.
Traffic accidents took 346 lives
—far short of the 430 the National
Safety Council had predicted and
17 less than the number who died
on the highways during a similar
78-hour Memorial Day period.
Drowning Total
But 185 drownings bteween 6

beyound the Memorial Day figure
of 510, There were 85 such deaths

Congress Meets
B
To Mark Time
WASHINGTON July 7 (AP)—
The 82nd Congress, its adjourn
ment plans wrecked Saturday by
a deadlock over two money bills,
meets again today.
However, it wil! mainly mark
time until next Monday when ab
sent members return to elean up
the two jobg still to be done.
The dash toward a planned final
adjournment stalled to a stop as
the sun peeked over the horizon
yvesterday morning, All except two
appropriation bill 8 had been
passed, but on these the Senate
and House deadlocked.
With most of the Republican
members attending the party’s na
tional econvention in Chicago and
many Democrats at home, the
legislative halls were not open for
decisive business.
Adjournment itself was off at
least until next week, the week
between the conventions at which
the Republicans and Democrats
choose their presidential candi
dates for the November election.
Unitl then, nothing of import
ance will be transacted. House De
mocrats and Republicans’agreed on
‘this in the small hours Sunday
morning.
Plans Collapsed
Administration plans to bring
Congress to a close Saturday night
collapsed chiefly because the
House had written into a 10 bil
lion dollar supplemental appro
priation bill a curb on the use of
funds for an expension of the
atomic weapons program.
The measure carries two billion |
dollars for the atomic program,
$6,031,947,750 for foreign military
‘and economic aid, and $2,140,000,-
000 for military bases and other
projects around the world.
In a last ditch appeal against
the House rider, President Tru
man wrote Vice President Bark
ley and House Speaker Rayburn
that it would cripple atomic pro
duction and imperil national sec
urity.
The Senate refused to accept the
rider, weary members standing
firm into the early Sunday morn
ing hours. The House finally
agreed to modify it somewhat but
baulked at throwing it overboard.
The other dispute that upset
adjournment plans flared over a
compromise $584,061,600 bill to
finance rivers and harbors and
flood control projects.
Hartwell Dam
Dropped out of the measure was
four million dollars for the Hart
well Dam in South Carolina and |
Georgia. Sen Maybank (D-SC)
roared that the bill was not going
to pass without this item in it, and
indicated he might launch a fili
buster. Sen Olin Johnston (D-SC)
said he too was ready to talk all
day Sunday.
The upshot was that the Senate
sent the bill back to conference
again in hopes of working out a
settlement. i
Giant strides towards adjourn
ment, including the passage of a
$46,600,000,000 defense appropria
tion bill, had been taken in the
session that began at noon Sat
urday before the legislators bog
ged down in controversy.
This measure—the largest of all
the appropriation bills for the 1953
fiscal year—carried the full am
ount asked by President Truman
