Chinese Reds
hdhere In Part
To Geneva Rule
TOKYO, July 17 — (AP —Red
China teday conditionally reco
gnized the Geneva conventions
panning germ warfare and setting
rules for treatment of war prison-
United Nations officials here
and in Korea would make no of
ficial comment on the Red an
nouncements, made in separate
proadcasts by Peiping radio.
Observers speculated the state
ments possibly meant:
1. The Reds had found a way
to break the stalemate in Korean
armistice talks over prisoner exs
change.
2. Or # was a continuation of
Communist charges that the Uni
ted States had employed germ
warfare in the Korean fighting.
The U. 8. repeatedly has denied
the charges.
Added significance was attached
to the Peiping broadcasts since
they quoted Foreign Minister Chou
En-Lai, Important pronouncements
by the Red radio frequently have
been reserved for Chou.
One broadeast said Chou had
been authorized to recognize the
Genevc:.s_rotoeol of June 17, 1926,
and a ed by Nationalist China
on Aug .7, 1929. It prohibits the
use in wa{ of poisonous gas and
germ warfare.
Seek Reciprocation
The radio said, however, that
“all other q?ntrac:mgb and ae;ed
ing powers” must observe them

The V. 8. has not ratified the
germ warfar wvisian and has
withstood eff of Russia’s Jacob

A second broadcast said Red
China would recognize part of the
Aug. 18, 1949, Geneva convention
dealing with tk'ip treatment of pris

by the Nationalists. .
On the surface this suggested
that the (3%"1&:1%{Y Reds migit be
willing for the United ‘huon,s to
turn over to a mutually agreed

tion the eaptured Reds who resist
repatriation.
Red €hina %:s not signed either

Red China’s minister to Switzer
land was instructed to give Chou's
statement to the Swiss Federal
Couneéfl for communieation to the
governments of the eontracting
powers of these conventions.
Talks Are Stalemated
Korean armistice taiks at Pan

for weeks over the fate of mearly
100,000 eaptured Communists who
say th’fi{ will resist return to Red

It opens formally on Monday,
but the pre-convention pace al
ready has reached a high point in
claims and counter-claims, accu
sations and denials. The situation
—involving five avowed candi
dates, seven “favorite sons” and a
number of other probables—llooks
riotously confused.
Spokesmen for two of the sup
posed “probables,” President Tru

yesterday that should remove both

Stands On Word
Regarding the President—Na

McKinney said he had a two-hour
conference in the White House
last Sunday, and that Truman
told him: “I meant what I said
about not running 1 : 1 I've served
my time.” Moreover, McKinne{
continued, he would consider it
his duty to discourage any at
tempts, from the convention
floor, to start a draft movement
aimed at the President.
Regarding Stevenson—his first
and biggest booster, Jacob, M.
Arvey, Illinois national commit

tied my hands. As a matter of
practical politics it is almost im
possible to nominate a man under

Athens' Woman Delegate To Demo

pleasure her last Democratie con

Although, as most seasoned

Aum reveali that
Southern Stand
Hangs On Result
By D. HAROLD OLIVER
WASHINGTON, July 16—(AP).
The old feud between Southern
and Northern Democrats over
civil rights and party loyalty is
headed for another boisterous
showdown at the Democratic Na
‘tional Convention starting Mon
‘day.
The issue which split the party
four years ago comes first pefore
a Democratic National Committee
subcommittee which starts hear
ings in Chicago tomorrow on con
tests for convention seats by rival
state delegations from Texas and
Mississippi.
Calvin Rawlings, Utah national
committeeman, heads the subcom
mittee. Seventy convention votes
are involved—s 2 in Texas and 18
in Mississippi.
Another Bolt? .
The outcome may well deter
mine whether the Southern States
Righters will bolt the party again
this year if the national ticket and
platform are not to their liking.
They formed their own ticket in
1948 and took 39 electoral votes
away from the Truman-Barkley
banner in Alabama, Louisiana,
Mississippi, South Carolina and
Tennessee,
The fight is between the anti
administration or “regular” fae
tions in the two Southern states
and pro-administration ‘“loyalist”
delegations.
The ‘“regulars” oppose the ad
ministration’s eivil rights program
and favor the states handling ra
cial problems. They have reserved
the right to support another third
party ticket if the presidential
ticket and platform displease
them.
Contested Delegations
Mississippi’s 18-vote delegation
is endorsed to the candidagy of
Sen. Richard B. Russell of g;or
gia. An Associated Press poll of
the Texas uninstructed “regulars”
showed Russell a 22%;-vote first
pallot favorite among those re
plying, with another 101 going
to Gov. Allan Shivers, who also
favors Russell. ;
The “loyalists” largely see eye
to eye with the “regulars” on eivil
rights, but agree to support the
‘party nominees in advance. They
saver working out the racial mat
ter within the party without a
boit.
The Mississippi “loyalist” group
has not indicated a candidate
choice. A poll of the Texas unin
structed pro-administration fae
tion - showed 1314 votes favoring
Speaker Sam Rayburn, a Texan;
Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee
7%; Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of
Illinois 6; President Truman B 8
among those replying.
Defense Group
Seeks Shelfers
Colonel William Kerns, state
Civil Defense engineering officer,
will meet with county and city
engineers and local contracting
engineers Thursday for the pur
pose of surveying Athens for the
availability of air raid shelters.
As the oragnization of the civil
defense program progresses,
prominent Athenians and univers
ity offielals have volunteered
their services, and are already at
work. Dean Willlam Tate has been
appointed by Mayor Wells to the

on the committee that had gone to

Senator to run for the ‘“highest
office in the land.”
«I¢ Russell dosen’t get the nomi
nation, it’s too bad for the Demo
oratic party—and for the whole
gountry,” she ;;redicted. Question=
ed more closely on the meaning
of that statement, Mrs. Talmadge
said simply that she thinks “Rus~
sell is the man for the job”.
The woman delegate received a
Banner-Merald reporter on Mon
day afternoon for an interview
about approaching convention and
eurrent topics of interest.
Admitting that she “loves poli
ties and always has', Mrs. )aral
madge hastened to remind the re
porter that she had no power to
%pe'ak for anyone but herself.

added.
Opposed Woman Suffrage
Smprh{agly enough for a wo~
man who has been so active in
weman’s erganizations for the past
few years, Mrs. Talmadge told
the veporter that she was against
,mim" suffrage at first.

biggest convention in the history
of Georgia Legion,
The Auxiliary will hold its an

hundred and ten posts of Ameri
can Legion, with a combined
membership of 53,207, will be en~
titled to a total of 3,621 delegates
and the same number of alter
nates.
A parade through downtown
Maeon, with the City Police Chief
serving as parade marshall, busi
ness, and social aetivities will be
highlighted during the sessions
with Sunday being devoted to re
ligious serviees.
Aceording to Charlie Mangle

Post, 185, and M. L. Gilbert of
Allen R. Fleming, Post 20; there
will be about thirty-one delegates
from Athens.
Allen R. Fleming Post, which

“I don’t discount Truman on any
count,” was the delegate’s
reply to a question concerning the
President’s likely move at the
Convention, She further stated
that she ‘*‘doubted if he knew what
he was going to do — being a
creature of impulse.”
Since Eisenhower’s nomination
on the GOP ticket, Mrs. Talmadge
ventured a prophesy that Turman
wouldn’t seek the nomination.
“He will, I fear, be at the con
vention”, she added.
Her prediction that Russell will
get the momination is based on a
study of all the other major can
didates and their records. Her
conviction that the country won’t
elect “another fair dealer” is so
deep that she discounts Stevenson
and Harriman almost completely.
Two-Party System
The activities of the election
year are providing Georgia and
the South with an excellent op
portunity to have a good, strong
Republican party, according to
Mrs. Talmadge, “This seems to
me a very good idea”, she added.
With gome additional eommen=
taries on political and world-wide
problems, Mrs. Talmadge settled
into an enjoyable chat about hér
family, her grandlon, folks around
town, and her weekend spent at
the lake,

Demo Platform Drafters Get
Defense Of Foreign Policies
Fight Held Off
On FEPC Issue
By NORMAN WALKER
CHICAGO, July 16— (AP) —
Democratic platform drafters
heard a defense today of their
party’s foreign policies from
World War I to Korea.
Francis Biddle, 2birman of the
Americans For Democratic Ac
tion, delayed for the time being a
promised civil rights fight and
took up the cudgels instead to re
ply to Republican criticisms of the
Yalta Big Three conference and
the Truman administration’s Far
Eastern decisions.
i No Apology ¢
In a statement prepared for
submission to a preliminary plat-
CHICAGO—(AP)—Sen. Her=
bert Lehman of New York today
pledged a floer fight at the
Democratic national convention
if that’'s what it takes to get a
strong civil rights plank in his
party’s platform.
Lehman called a news con-*
ference just before Democratic
platform drafters began publie
hearings in the Conrad Hilton
Hotel, He said he will insist en
a civil rights plank “at least as
strong as the one in the 1948
party platform.”
That plank was adopted from
the floor four years ago and led
to a Dixie walkout from the
convention,
form drafting committee the ADA
spokesman declared: “No Ameri
can need apologize for Yalta.”
“The blunt fact is,” Biddle said,
“that we would be extremely glad
if we were living today in the
world provided for by the Yalta
agreements , . . In order to en=-
slave Eastern Europe and Man
churia and China the Soviet Union
had to break the Yalta agree
ments.”
Actually, the platform adopted
last week by the Republican Na
‘tional Convention did not single
out the Yalta conferences attend
ied by President Roosevelt, Prime
Minister Churchill and Premier
)Stalin. Instead it linked Tehran,
Yalta and Potsdam together as
“scenes of tragic blunders with
others to follow.”
The fall of Nationalist China to
the Communiists was one of the
“blunders,” the Republicans said
came later. .
~ On that point, Biddle insisted
“We eould have averted the Com
munist triumph only in one way
—by the eommitment of Ameri
can troops in force ne later than
in 1947.” He added:
“1 do not know one person who
proposed in 1947—0 r in 1848 or
1949, or in 1952 for that matter—
that we should send an American
army to the mainland of China,
Such a course—then or now-—
would be military madness.”
Committee Witness
Riddle was one of a number of
witnesses scheduled to appear be
fore the 21-member platform com=-
mittee at the start of 414 days of
televised hearings. The smaller
group will gubmit its recommen
dations to a 108-member platform
committee of the national eom
mittee next Monday, cpening day
of the Democratic convention.

RICHMOND, Va.,, July 16 —

Carmichael Tells Wish
To See Russell Elected
GOP Platform Is
Speaker’s Target
James V. Carmichael, former
candidate for Governor and one
time legislator, told some three
hundred Russell well-wishers at
the Clarke County Russell Ap
preciation Dinner last night that
his one remaining political ambi
tion is to see Senator Richard
Brevard Russell take the oath of
office as President of the United
States, .
Mr. Carmichael, speaking to the
assembled Athenians at the Coun-~
try Club following a dinner of bar
becue chicken, added that his wish
to see Russell in the White House
stemmed from hig realization that
the winder man 1s the best candi
date and “not for sectional rea
sions.” “Russell,” he said, “is not
a favorite son, nor a secticnal
candidate—as some would have us
believe.”
Judge Henry West, who intro
duced Mr. Carmichael to the ga
thering, termed him a statesman
in the fullest sense of Henry W.
Grady’s definition of the word.
Grady compared a politican and a
statesman by saying that a polit
ician looked to the next election,
while a statesman looked ie the
next generation. -
A member of the Boards of
trustees at both Emory University
and of Boy’s Estate, according to
Judge West, Mr. Carmichael is
seeking the improvement of Geor
gia’s youth.
The Russell Dinner speaker said
that the oncoming convention bat
tle in Chicago is not one to be
fought over civil rights and com
pulsory FEPC, but is a “battle te
restore Jeffersonian and Jackson
ian Democracy.”
Launching a blistering attack
on the Republicang for their plat
form stand, he termed it “vague”.
“The Negro people”, he said “are
not stupid or selfish enough to
jump the best candidate because
