oITTSEURGH, July 10—(AP)
— Jnemploymept resulting from
the oreat steel strike of 1952 will
be close to 1,100,000 next week
unless there’s an unexpected break
in the rparalyzing nation-wide
shutcown throttling the industrial
heart of America.
\ big spurt in unemployment
wll come when Chrysler Corpor
ation closes virtually all of its ex
tensive Michigan operations. The
corporation says the shutdown will
affect about 60,000 workers, al
though 14,500 will be recalled to
take inventory.
Added Blow -
The Chrysler shutdown comes
as another blow to the big state
of Michigan, where auto produc
tion has been cut 70 percent. An
estimated 100,000 workers in
Michigan have been affected by
the steel strike. Ford Motor Com-~
pany already has shut down its
assembly plants across the nation,
and General Motors has laid off
thousands in its huge factory net
work,
In additlon to the 600,000 steel
workers idle, another 422,000 in
allied industries have been laid
off as & result of the strike. -
While there’s no sign of an end
to the strike, called June 2, the
(10 United Steelworkers awaited
word from the industry on a pro
posal to agree to resumption of
iron ore production.
Executives of 10 large steel pro
ducing companies, after - meeting
in New York Tuesday, said they
would ask the steelworkers to end
the companicn strike of 23,000 ore
miners in Minnesota, Michigan
and Wisconsin,
Fear Shutdown
Officials of the steel Industry
fear shutdowns next winter be
cause of a shortage of iron ore.
They're afraid they can’t build up
stockpileg because iron ore won’t
be shipped on the Great Lakes
during the winter.
Talmadge Says
lke Is Victor
ATLANTA, July 10— (AP) —
Georgia’s Gov, Herman Talmadge
said today he thought Eisenhower
would be the Republican presi
dential nominee,
Talmadge watched the bitter
floor fight over the seating of the
delegation on television last night.
At his news conference this
morning he turned political pun
dit and observed:
“I would think that Eisenhower
would get the Republican nomi
nation just as soon as Gov. Warren
of California throws In the towel
on his own chances.
“If Warren holds out he possi
bly could deadlock the convention
and force s dark horse but I
doubt if he will. The balance of
the California delegation does not
indicate that.”

TEXAS DISPUTE +— Weary Texas dele
gatu of the Efsenhower persuasion walt
or the Republican convention credentials
committee to open hearings on the Texas
delegate dispute in Chicago’s Congress
HOt'.l' After all - }’;;de,»hagi their say the
committes voted to seat 22 Taft men and
ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
Associated Press Service
Most delegates, who battled long
and hard within the Resolutions
Committee over the delicate racial
issue, wanted to avoid a conven
tion floor battle.
And both sides agreed that the
new plank, dealing with federal
action on the subjects of lynch
ing, poll taxes, segregation and
discrimination, was not as strong
as the one in the 1948 platform.
1948 Action
Four years ago the Republicans
favored “enactment and just en=-
forcement of such federal legis
lation as may be necessary” to
maintain equal opportunity for
jobs and achancement despite dif
ferences of “race, religion, color,
or country of origin.” %
This time the platform promises
“federal legislation to further just
and equitable treatment in the
area of discriminatory employment
practices.”
That is broad, so at the request
of Scutherners this was added:
“Federal action should not dup
licate state efforts to end such
practices; should not set up an
other hlige bureaucarcy.”
Most Southerners, including Re
publicans, believe racial probloms
are best handled on a state or
local level without federal inter
ference.
Mrs. Mildred E. Younger of Los
Angeles, who wanted a stronger
civil rigil;xts section, said she ac
cepted the compromise and would
raise no floor protest.
Compromise Draft =
The Compromise was drafted
under supervision of Sen. Eugene
D. Millikin of Colorado, platform
committee chairman, after a sub
committee under Mrs. Younger
could not reach agreement and of<
sered two cmflic% reports.
, Most dfilefi:&ux 1 the bitter
civil rights platform dispute in the
1948 Democratic convention that
ied to a walkwout by many South
ern Democrats and loss of four
Solid Jouth states in the findl
election.
Many Republicang also are anx
ious to cut into normal Democra
tic majorities in the South and
know that a tough civil rights
plank might prevent this.
The new plank promises “fed
eral action”—rather than legisla
tion to eliminate lynching and
poll taxes—and “appropriate ac
tion to end segregation in the Dis=
trict of Columbia.”
It also promises non-discrimina~
tion in appointment of “qualified
persons” to federal jobs.
It does not contain a detailed
proposal for a fair employment
practices commission with powers
to force testimony and make rec
ommendations. This had been
urged by Mrs. Younger.
It also dropped a 1948 provision
opposing racial segregation in the
armed services.
Truce Meetings
In Second Year
MUNSAN, July 10 — (AP) —
Truce negotiators began their sec=
ond year of meetings today—clos=
er to a Korean armistice than a
year ago, but still offering no hint
of early success.
“Today is just another day,”
said Brig. Gen. William P. Nuck
ols, United Nations spokesman,
after a 40-minute secret session
at Pamunjom.
It was the seventh session un=
der a news blackout agreed to by
both sides in an effort to resolve
the final issue blocking an armis
tice—prisoner exchange.

Disastrous Fire
i
Movie Studios
BURBANK, Calif, July 10.—
i (AP)—A second disastrous fire in
less than two months raged across
‘Warner Brothers movie lot yester
~day and one officer expressed the
;belief that arson was involved.
~ Studio spokesmen roughly esti
;mated damage at 4% to 43 mil
lion dollars,
. The fire swept in a giant arc
through 25 studio back-lot acres,
destroying nine streets of scenery
ranging from Norwegian to West
ern.
Sheriff’s Arson Investigater Ed
Hatcher said there is “every in
dication” the fire could not have
started accidentally, and must
have been incendiary.
The blaze razed a storage shed
containing a 80-year collection of
some 2,000 acting props — Robin
Hood crossbows, mummy cases,
roulette tables, horsehair sofas,
spears, swords.
It gutted and collapsed a cor
rugated irom hangar housing an
undetermined number of planes
used in movie scenes. The wind
driven embers leaped a street and
\burmd perhaps 200 acres of scrub
oak and brush on a nearby moun
tainside.

By RELMAN MORIN
CONVENTION HALIL, Chicago
July 10—(AP)-—Like nature, de-~
mocracy in the raw is seldom
mild.
The democratic process, as the
Republicans unrolled it toda{,
sent more than 12,000 people
staggering out of Convention Hall,
dizzy, reeling and emotionally
spent after seven hours of inde
scribable excitement. They had
seen a wild melee, a savage spec
tacle, high drama, some unbeliev~
able comedy, ana finally a neck=
snapping surprise.
The Republicans went at each
other like tigers—and some’ of
the wounds they left may be long
in healing,
Heavy With Tension
Last night, when the hall filled,
it was obvious that an explosion
was coming. The air was heavy
with tension, The people were
restless and uneasy, like a herd
of longhorns before a storm.
The climax, as those chuming
thousands knew, was at han
over the delegate contests in
Texas and Georgia.
It was Sen. Everett Dirksen of
Illinois, & ‘heavy-bodied man
with a smooth, persuasive plat
form manner, who brought about
the first great roar. Dirksen was
defending the Taft faction in
Georgia.
He is an effective man in a
speech, and he was at his best
last night. He was swaying that
huge crowd as easily as if he had
it in a hammock.
High Drama
With a dramatic pause, he
looked down from the speaker’s
platform directly at Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey of New York, said he
hdd ecampaighed for Dewey in
1944 and 1948 and then let go—
“ Twice he led us down the road
of defeat.”
It brought thousands of people
to their feet, yelling, screaming,
pop-eyed with excitement, anger
or approval, There were unforget
table pictures then, and Dewey
himself provided the best of them.
He sat there, apparently cool,
with a fixed smile on his face. He

Taft Supporters Continue Claims

Senator Will Win On Early Ballot
BY JACK BELL
CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, July 10.—(AP)—
General Dwight D, Eisenhower surged into the lead today
in his slam bang battle with Senator Robert A. Taft for the
Republican presidential nomination.
Hglped by other presidential as
pirants, Eisenhcwer bowled over
Taft in two vital preliminary vic
tories last night in the seating of
contested delegations from Geor
gia and Texas,
By the strength hig forces dis
played, the five-star general ap
peared to have pulled within strik
ing distance of the first presiden
tial nomination for a professional
military man since Ulysses S.
Grant won the prize and the pres
idency in 1868.
Valiant Fight
Taft fought a valiant rear guard
action against the seating of pro-
Eisenhower delegationg from the
two states.
But he lost Georgia by a 607 to
531 vote. I¢ was the first time a
GOP convention had overruled its
credentials committee, That Taft
dominated group had recommend
ed, 29 to 22, the seating of a dele
gation heavily weighted for the
'Ohioan.
The Eisernhower allies developed
such power that Taft’'s supporters
elected not to oppose the seating
of a Texas delegation favoring the
general, Previously the committee
had approved a pro-Taft group.
This made the new lineup in the
Associated Press tabulation of del
egates:
Eisenhower 514, Taft 486, others
110, uncommitted 96. .
| Picture Could Shift
~ This picture could shift quickly
on the first nomination ballot,
‘when the uncommitted must join
the ranks of those publicly tabbed
for one candidate or another,
But this slow-moving conven
gon mmedhu:xhlslkely to get around
o any such showdown until to
'morrow. Delegates faced action to
day on the party platform, follow
ed by the tedious gusiness of nom
inating candidates.
Governor John S. Fine of Penn
sylvania cut down the uncommit
ted list sharply by a belated and
widely forecast announcenrent that
he is supporting Eisenhower.
The 52 to 18 poll of his delega
tion in favor of seating the Geor
gia Eisenhower group seemed to
reflect equal support there for the

Youth Is Held
In Larceny Try
Garland Martin, age 20, was
bound over to Superior Court by
Judge Olin Price this morning in
Recorder’'s Court on a charge of
attempted larceny.
A workman stated that he had
remained, on instructions, at
Capes Garage on Hobson avenue
last night at about 10:30 p. m,
Martin and two other men drove
up and stopped in front of the
garage. The witness said that he
had been requested by the owner
of the establishment to stay there
last night, because they had been
missing articles and suspected
that they were being stolen.
According to the witness, the
three men got out of their auto
mobile and were trying to remove
a battery from a parked car in
front of the garage when he
shined a light on them. He stated
that they immediately fled, aban
doning their car.
Martin was apprehended after
officers arrived at his home,
which is located behind the ga
rage. He denied any connection
with the attempted robbery and
said that he was home in: bed.
The other two men have not
been arrested as yet, although
one of them was identified by the
witness. Martin's bond was set at

By PETER EDSON
NEA Correspondent
CHICAGO, July 10—There’s on
ly one place in Chicago where it's
possible to get away from all the
whoop-de-doo and confusion of
the Rg)ublican National Conven~
tion. Go out to the Stockyards
Amphitheatre, mount the platform
and start a speech. No one will
pay the slightest attention.
A whole battery of highly bor
ing oratorical artillery has been
turned loose on the convention in
this way with unbelievable Jack
of interest. Nobody in the galleries
or on the floor stopped talking
while these speeches were being

In fact, people just stayed away

Athens Workers |
Spotting Stud
Not all of the local citizenry
who are watching the skies these
days are on the look-out for rain
clouds. Although a goodly portion
of the population have been on
watch for hints of rain, there is
another faction of the city that is
watching the “wide blue” for air
craft passing over Athens.
The Aircraft spotting Unit that
is being currently orgnfiud under
the direction of O. E. Cross is a
part of the general gearing up of
the Athens Civil Defense effort
of which Mrs. Harold B. Hodgson
is coordinator.
Basic Idea
The basic idea of the ground
observation corps is to notice and
report the passage of all aircraft
over this city, Identification is
not included in the spotting pro
cess, but height and aggroximate
speed of aircraft is noted. General
ideas of size are also recorded as
are the number of planes and the
direction of flight.
Spotters in the Athens Area will
call in their information to a
filter center in Atlanta where the
personnel will take steps to identi
fy the planes. Spotting Units are
being set up at eight mile inter
vals which will make it possible
to plot the course of aircraft to
ARORITRCY, e
“Enemy planes” will fly over
this city and other Georgia towns
next week in a simulated raid in
which all spotters will report to
Atlanta. The raid has been plan
ned to test the effictiency of spot
ters and the degree of competence
which which the planes are re
ported.
In preparation for the “raid”, a
member of the sta.f of the At
lanta filter center will be in Ath
ens on Friday night to show local
spotters a film and to distribute
information on techinques of spot
ting aircraft,
The meeting at which Sgt. O. W.
Crumb will show his film has
been set for Civie Auditorium at
8 o'clock Friday night. An appeal
for spotters and persons interested
in cooperating in the Civil Defen
se training program was issued
today by Chief Ground Observer
Cross, who stated that he is an
xious to provide an &round the
clock spotting unit.
Everyone Can Help
“Everyone can help”, he said.
“Young, old, middle-aged, an#
even children are capable of serv
ing in this phase of Civil Defense.
All that is needed is common
sense, fair eyesight and a cool
head”.
Mr. Cross who has extended all
his efforts in the planning and
setting up of the ground spotters
corps is a member of the fac
ulty of the University, having
taught in the Department of Agri
cultural Engineering since 1947,
Mr. Cross received his BS from
Kansas and took his Masters at
the University of Georgia in 1949,
where he had been serving as an
associate professor since 1947.
Married to a former membar of the |
Pi Beta Phi Advisory Board, Mr.
Cross has three children ages four,
two, and two months.
“The need for Civil Defense is
a real one”, according to Mr. Cross |
Mrs. Hodgson and other Civil De- f
sense workers.
Participation in the aircraft
spotters unit will comprise a valu
able service to the communty and l

itations,
Negative Impact
The impact of these addresses
was no doubt equally negative
where the words were carried in
to the home by radio or television,
without interference to getting
the dishes washed or the ironing
done. It therefore becomes nec
essary to record for posterity,
some place, just what some of the
second-string keynoters said.
For instance, nobody would
want to miss knowing that Sen.
Styles Bridges of New Hampshire
said, “We have gathéred here in
Chicago on a critical occasion in
our country’s history. This con
vention is doubly important be
cause it marks a cross-roads in
the, destiny of the Republican par

Russell Friends Meet
Tonight To Plan Dinner
. e
Carmichael Will
Be Feature Guest
Athens &nd Clarke eounty
friends of Senator Richard B.
Russell will meet tonight at ¢
o’clock In Civie Hall to complete
plans for the big Appreciation
Dinner to be given in his honor
-at Athens Country Club July 15
at 8 p. m.
Senator Russell has done much
for Athens and this section and
the dinner will be an expression
of the thanks of the people of this
area to him. Some 400 tickets are
being printed for the dinner and
the proceeds will be sent to the
Georgla Senator to aid him in his
candidacy for President. Tickets
will be on sale at the three local
banks and the Chamber of Com
merce.
Featured Speaker
Paul Williams, permanent chair
man for the dinner, announced
today that the featured gpeaker
will be Jinmmy Carmichael, former
candidate for governor, and who
served as Master of Ceremonies at
the huge dinner given in honor of
Senator Russell in Atlanta,
Judge Henry H. West, - long
time close friend of Senator Rus
sell, will introduce Mr. Car=~
michael.
Mr. Williams also announced
today that the treasurer for the
dinner will be R. C. Gilmer, exe~
cutive vice-president of The Nat
ional Bank of Athens.
Numerous Dinners
While a number of Clarke
county citizens attended the At~
lanta dinner for Senator Russell,
the July 15 dinner will be the first
formal honor accorded him here.
Numerous dinners have been
given in various parts of Georgia,
including Danielsville, 'Toccoa,
Elberton, Monroe and others.
Senator Russell’s parents lived
in Athens for a number of years
and his friends here are legion.
He attended and graduated from
the University, where he was a
member of the Sigma Alpha Epsi
lon fraternity. Many members of
the University faculty have signi
fied their intention of attending
the dinner and among them will
be some of those who taught Sen
ator Russell when he was a stu
dentrhere,
this subject. He said, “America
stands at the cross-roads of his
tory,”
Gov. Howard Pyle of Arizona
labored through seven pages of
prepared text before he made up
his mind on this subject. Finally,
despairing of saying it in the high
ly individualistic style of Senators
Kem and Bridges, the governor
came up with “These are the
times that try men’s soul,” which
was an original thoufiht with Tom
svaino back in the Revolutionary
ar, ’
Gov. Pyle also produced another
novel idea in his final paragraph
when he said, ‘“The men and
women who follow us will be our
children.”. This declaration at
least put Gov. Pyle in the class of
being something of a progressive.

Dismissal Noses

With Fund Cus
WASHINGTON, July 1.-.(%
—“You're fired” notices beg
going out to about half the 17,000
employes of the government’s an<
ti-inflation agencies today as ree
sult of the heavy axe Congress ap
plied to appropriation reguests.
Economic Stabilizer Roger L.
Putnam said his program will be
hurt but he would “do the bes§
he can with what we've got.”
He said Congress “gave
and the consumer—an awtnlm
in the teeth” in providing the
agencies with only 6 million dol«
lars compared with the 103 million
requested,
A spokesman said 30-day dis
missal notices would start going
out today.
Congress cut funds for the State
Department, the Defense Depart
ment, the Treasur)}'), Commerce,
Labor, Interior and Postoffice De=
partments and scores of agencies.
But none was hit as hard as the
stabilization agencies, whose 60«
million-dollar appropriation led
some officials to hint they would
recommend junking price-wage
contrels entirely because they felt
it impossible to work with the
fund.
With President
WASHINGTON, July 10—(AP).
Sen. Richard B. Russell conferred
with President Truman today and
said afterwards: “I'm sure the
President and I understand each
other.”
{ Russell, the Georgia senator
seeking the Democratie presie
dential nomination, would not
elaborate on this comment as he
left the White House.
A reporter asked Russell, “Lest
there be some misunderstanding
—when you say you and the Pres
ident understand each other, does
that denote any endorsement of
your candidacy?”
“1f you will quote me as I said
it, I believe I'll stand on what I
said,” Russell replied. *“I don’t
believe I'll eaborate on that.”
Russel snoke optimistically of
his chances for the presidential
nomination, asserting:
