Monkeys Win
In Pine Tops
Tournament
A marble-horseshoe tournament
was heid yesterday at Pine Tops
“Y” Camp, with the Monkey's
representative winning both the
junior and senior divisions.
‘Each team held a contest to de
termrine their team champs, and
then those champions competed
against the winners from the
other teams.
In the senior division, Jeff Mills
of the Monkeys won the tourna
ment by defeating Ray Danner of
the Murderers in the finals. Mills
had earlier eliminated the Killers’
Ken Kelly in the first round semi
final match. In the other semi
final senior match, Danner had

yesterday, the Tornadoes edged
the Killers, 7-6, by scoring two
runs in the next to last inning for
the winning margin. In the other
tilt the Monkeys staged a three
run rally in the last half of the
final inning, but still fell short of
victory as the undefeated Murder
ers continued to roll, The Murder
ers won, 6-5.
The Tornadoes continued their
unblemished record in the football
play as they rolled over the Kill
ers, 37-6. The losers gained some
what of a distinction, however,
when Jere Huggins scored a
touchdown, the first score against
the Tornadces thus far during the
season. Dick Ferguson ran and
passed the Tornadoes to the win.
James Basham scored on a pass
from Ray Danner for the only
score of the fray as the Murder

the other scoftball game played
yesterday.
In Sunday’s games the Torna
does fell before the Murderers in
softball, 11-2, but bounced back to

Magazine Article Gives Low Down
On Farouk, ““Progressive Ruler”
“His Majesty Farouk I, King of
Egypt. Sovereign of Nubia, Darfur
and Kordofan .... the uitimate
in royal slobs and keeper of 20,-
000,000 sorely depressed subjects
considers himself the most pro
gressive ruler in the Moslem
world.”
Bob Considine, nationally syn
dicated newspaper columnist and
television reporter, minces no
words when describing Egypt's
ruler. Considine’s August Esquire
article, Farouk: The Royal Wolf,
pictures Farouk as looking like
“ ...a harem potentate in an
overdrown cartoon.”
The article disclosses that “The
people ruled by this monarch are
80 per cent illiterate, although
Farouk speaks fondly of his laws
directing compulsory education for
children between seven and
twelve, the increase in the number
of secondary schools, and Farouk

Considine says, “The sums he
(Farouk) gambles so reckiessly on
the Riviera, pays to his procurers

Reunion Of 69th
.
Veterans of the famous 69th In
fantry Division will assemble in
Atlanta this year for the fourth
annual reunion at the Ansley Hotel
from August 21 to August 23, ac
cording to an announcement today
by Joseph Lipsius, Atlanta Chap
ter President of 1329 University
Drive, N. E., Atlanta.
The 69th Division was activated
in World War 2 at Camp Shelby,
Mississippi in May 1942 and sailed
for Europe in November 1944. Two
months later the division was in
combat during the Battle of the
Bulge. In its combat service from
the Siegfried Line to the Elbe
River the 69th Division captured
the German Fortress of Ehren
breitstein and shared in the cap
ture of the City of Leipzig, the
largest German city taken by U.
S. Army Forces. The 69th Division
was the first American unit to
make contact with the Soviet
Army at Torgau, Germany, on the
Elbe River.
Mr. Lipsius estimated that ap
proximately 50,000 veterans served
at one time or another with the
ormous that, if channeled into
the humanitarian fields where he
believes he shines, they would
produce reforms for which Egypt’s
peasants have pathetically hung
ered for 4,000 years.
“The man who, to the accom
painiment of bursts of explosive
laughter, has won and then lo.)
as much as 50,000,000 francs in a
couple of nights of baccarat, was
able to dismiss from his mind—if
indeed the thought ever struck
him—that one of his peasant
farmers must work like a beast
to earn 40 cents a day; that 95
cent of his people live in extreme
proverty; that 90 per cent suffer
from trachoma; that pellagra and
malnutrition are as abundant as
Cairo’s flies.
“Even today, he and his pomad
ed rtinue point proudly to oc
cassional reform measures introd
uced before the corrupt ruling
party of the land, the Wafd. Most
of these “reforms mever get be
yond the resolution stage or, if
they do, merely offer new avenues
for graft within Farouk’s govern
ment and court.”
division. Many of these men will
attend the Atlanta meeting.

Tommy Huff The story,enjoyable
as it was might easily have been
tragic—had it not been for an alert
citizen and fast work by law en

A five-year-old child who lives
in Parkview Apartments was left
this morning at seven o'cleck with
a baby-sitter when his Mother re
ported to work. Remembering a
visit to his grandmother’s home in
Crawford, the sandy-haired youth
gave the baby-sitter the slip and
set out to pay a call on “Gramma”.
A motorist, who operates a used
car lot on Lexington Road, called
the Sheriff’s office shortly after
nine o’'clock and reported that he
had seen the child walking out the
road-—some distance outside Ath
ens. The thoughful caller was wor
ried because he had seen the child
narrowly avert being struck by an
automobile.
County officer Harold Seagraves
was dispatched post-haste and
retrieved the youngster, who told
him about his intended wisit to
“Gramma”, s
According to Sheriff Huff’s esti
mation, the five-year-old had gone
some five miles on his {rip.

“there is only one thing to do

“as long as we are in this thing,
let's stick it out together and

Marlow Says MacArthur Recepfion
Not As Overwhelming As It Looked
By JAMES MARLOW
CHICAGO July B—(AP)—Like
a man who can be called if needed
but meanwhile prefers standing in
in the wings out or sight, Gen.
Douglas MacArthur flew into the
Republican convention last night,
made the keynote speech, and flew
right back to New York.
Conceivably, he could become
the Republican nominee for pre=-
sident if Gen. Eisenhower and
Sen . Taft kill their own chances
in deadlock, or he could be picked
for vice president if Taft gets the
nomination.
There’s no chance for him to run
as vice president on an Eisenhower
ticket. While the two generals
have worked together in uniform;,
and known each other for years,
there’s no love lost between them.
And two military men on one tick
et would be one too many, any
way.
Not Overwhelming
But the reception the general
got last night, no matter how it
may have sounded on TV, was
far from overwhelming. He re
ceived long applause and cheers
when he marched down the center
aisle in a well-fitted blue civilian
suit. And he was interrupted 73
times by applause during his 57
minute speech.
But from the press box, next to
the speaker’'s platform and with a
good view ot the delegates on the
floor, it was clear to this reporter
that not all the delegates were
cheering or applauding him to a
man. Many of them sat still, look~
ing up at him.
This was his eighth major
speech sinc? the one in which he
told Congress 15 months ago, after
being fired Ly the Truman admin
istration, that old soldiers just
fade away. Each ipeech he has
made delayed the fading.
Bitter Tirade
His speeches have been increas
ingly bitter against the adminis
tration but last night’s outdid all
the others. MacArthur condemned
the administration at home and

ing the tail wag the dog,” says J.
' O. Ferguson, editor of the Paw
' nee, 0k1a.,, Chief and one of the
few real MacArthur delegates to
the convention. Mr. Ferguson is
spokesman for the Hunt group.
Mr. Hunt himself is in the unusual
position of being an Eisenhower
pledged” alternate on the Taft
group from Texas.
Mr. Hunt may, therefore, never
get to vote for his idol at all. Nev
ertheless, he predicts the general
will get 71 votes on the first bal
lot, from 18 states. Mr. Hunt has
been working hard to persuade
Gov. John S. Fine of Pennsylvania
to support Gen. MacArthur on the
first ballot. Gov. Fine really pre
fers MacArthur as his first choice,
says Hunt.
Can’t Understand
~ *“I can’t understand why people
like Joe Pew of Pennsylvania, who
really like MacArthur best, are
giving all their money to Sen.
Taft,” says Mr. Hunt.
A born gambler, Mr. Hunt is
betting this time that the Mac-
Arthur boom will develop without
even having his name placed in
nomination. The campaign buttons
Mr. Hunt gives out don’t say
“MacArthur for President.” They
say “MacArthur for America.”
‘He isn’t a candidate,” Mr.
Hunt explains. His wildcatter’s in
stinct just tells him that after that
speech Monday night, the conven
tion will just naturally call him
back.
But in this connection there is
recalled the story of Herbert
Hoover in 1936. He came to the
Cleveland Republican convention
to sweep the convention off its
feet. He hoped the delegates
would call him back to lead the
party again and to vindicate his
record of 1928-32.
He made his speech. He went to
the station and boarded his train,
with the applause ringing in his
ears. Departure of the train was
delayed a little. Then it pulled out
of the station with Mr. Hoover
aboard. The call never came.
It was probably the biggest dis
appointment of his life,

before delivering it.
MacArthur told his audience he
had been a Republican all his life
and since 2 keynote speech is sup
posed to rally a political party
while lambasting the opposition,
MacArthur delivered as expeeted.
While he didn’t mention either
Eisenhower or Taft by name, it
was plain from the attitude he
expressed on foreign policy that
he stood closer to Taft than to
Eisenhower.
He called the Democratic Party
a war party, suggested that the
Republican Party should strive for
peace after building up militarily
although he didn’t make it clear
how this peace could be achieved.
Things et Unsaid
He nowhere mentioned the At
lantic Pact, which engaged so
much of Eisenhower’s time in
building up a European army, but
he seemed to cast doubt on its
ability to work.
While saying we must keep our
agreements —the Atlantic Pact
would be ore of them — he said
failure of “collective security” in
Korea “plainly warns us that too
much must not be expected from
collective security elsewhere.”
So, although he was making the
keynote speech, the foreign policy
plank adopied by the Republicans
at this couvention mray go much
further—and will have %o go fur
ther if it’s going to meet Eisen
hower’s demands — than MacAr
thur seems to want to go in for
eign alliance and help.
MacArthur had solutions for do
‘mestic problems, too, but again
only generalized without saying
precisely how he though the so
lutions could be worked out. For
instance, he thought taxes could
be reduced put didn’t explain how
it could be done while the U. S.
was building up its armaments.
He said he thought “sound leader
ship” could help the farmer, but
he didn't say hcw,
