What hope there was that agree ment could finally be reached— and the crippling strike ended— rested on these factors: Factors For Peace 1, Murray has already ecompro= mised away a good part of the contract conditions on which he and his wage-policy committee had agreed to stand firm. That Wage-Policy Committee, number ing 170 leaders of the steel- work ers union, meets in Pittsburgh Monday with Murray. . The committee is reported not only solidly behind Murray’s re fusal to make any further compro-~ mises but it may even insist that “urrax take back some of the ground he has given . up. That would leave the two sides even further apart. . 2. If the negotiations break off in still another failure, with ins flammatory statements from both sides, the atmosphere at the Mon day 'Wage-Polioy Committee meet ing could be a very unhealthy one for compromise.

Russell Soothes Dixie Leaders CHICAGO, July 19 —(AP)—A group of Southern governors and Senators today appeared to have patched up the differences that arose between them and Sen. Richard B. Russell as a result of the Georgian’s denunciation of the Taft-Hartley Act. Russell had shocked the South erners by proposing that a labor management conference be called to draft a new law to supplant Taft-Hartley. ; The group, which caucused among themselves before calling on Russell at his headquarters, in cluded Govs. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, Hugh L. White of Mississippi, Herman Talmadge of Georgia, Allan Shivers of Texas, Robert F. Kennon of Louisiana, and Sens. Harry F. Byrd of Vir ginia, George A. Smathers and Spessard Holland of Florida, Harl Long of Louisiana and former Gov. Cameron Morrison of North Carolina. 4 e Sen. John C. Stennis of Missis sippi also visited Russell, but said he did so on other business. The consensus of the governors and Senators after their meeting with Russell appeared to be that they cou}d accept his Taft-Hart jey views and go alons with his candidacy for the emocratie nomination. el Byrnes told reporters he is op posed to repeal of Taft-Hartley but he said that, like Russell, he believes some amendments may be advisable. R . Byrd said he also is opposed to repeal but added he had “no rea son to say I am opposed to Rus sell's prcposed amendments, al thou,gh 1 don’t know what they are. He noted, as has Russell, that the Georgia Senator did not say he wanted the law repealed but only “supplanted.” “Sen, Russell says he is not for repeal,” Byrd said.

Eugene Epting Assumes Lion President’s Post Government Will Use Only Half Ofßeady Funds By CHARLES MOLONY WASHINGTON, July 19—(AP). The government has authority from Congress to spend about 157 billion dollars, but doesn’t expect to spend much more than half of it during fiscal 1958, which start ed July 1. Officlals said today they couldn’t spend the whole amount before the fiscal year ends next June 830 if they wanted to—and they don’t. They're figuring now that this year’s actual expendi tures will be around 80 billion. If the government does spend 80 billion, it will have to get ten billion from borrowing, for its in come from taxes and other sources isn’t likely to top 70 bil lion this year. Confusing? Well, it isn’t bad at all, if you get straight on one basic point —the difference be tween an expenditure and an ap propriation. & Basic Differences An expenditure is easy to com prehend, just what it sounds like —payment for goods when they’re delivered, or for wages and sal aries when they’re earned. Pay ment is by check, and the money has to be available before the check is written. Appropriation is what throws people off. Many think you have to have money before you can ap propriate it; still more believe that when there’s an appropria tion for a specified year, it's the top amount that can be spent in that year. 1 Not so, at least not in govern ment language, where appropria tion, briefly and simply, means this: An act passed by Congress and approved by the President that (1) authorizes an agency to spend, and (2) requires the Treas ury to see to it that the money is available when needed, by bor rowing if necessary. To nail down the point that the money doesn’t have to be on hand for Congress to appropriate it, note that spending authorizations are outstanding to the tune of 157 billion dollars, then note the Treasury’s present cash balance. It's 814 billion now, and that hap pens to be higher than usual. As to an npfropriation for a specified year—fiscal 1953, for ex ample—being the top amount that can be spent in that year, note this: The government expects to spend over 80 billion dollars this year, although Congress only au thorized about 78 billion for that period. Unused Authority Where does authority to spend the other seven billion come from? The answer; From spending au thorizations granted for previous years, but not used up. That’s the clue also to how there happens to be a total of 157 billion dollars in spending au thorlty available now, when only 78 bilion was %rovided specifically for this {nr. hen this year ends, some will again be left over for future {:arn. Certaln types of authorizations do exxin if not used by year’s end. good example 1s an ap propriation to pay salaries of em ployes; that kind of appropriation doesn’t carry (;\lrer.-b‘ But the really bigs sap+ .

CORNELL CHICAGO, July 19.—(AP)—A seething row over the seating of anti-Truman Dixie delegates ripped away the calm and outward unity of the Democratic Party today and thundered toward a showdown next week on the floor of the Demoecratic National Convention. Paul Brown Calls For Election Of Senator Russell By FRANK K. MYERS Chronicle State Editor ELBERTON, Ga.,, July 19 — The only hope Americans have of keeping the many benefits be stowed upon them by the Demo cratic administration in the last 20 years is to elect Senator Rich ard B. Russell as President, Rep. Paul Brown of the Tenth Georgia Congressional district, said today. Rep. Brown made the statement in a speech accepting his nomi nation for reelection at the Tenth District Democratiec convention held in the courthouse here. - And Senator Russell’s election to the nation’s chief executive post would assure continued stem ming of the tide of communism because Senator Russell would continue those beneficial acts passed by the administration dur ing the last 20 years, Rep. Brown said, Cornipares Conditions Comparing the plight of the American people today with that of 20 years ago, Rep., Brown pointed out the “emergency” bills passed since that time which have “saved America.” Erwin'To Lead District Demos Howell C. Erwin, Jr., Athens attorney, was elected chairman of the Tenth Congressional Dis~ trict Democratic Executive Commiitee at a meeting of that body in Elberton Thursday. The meeting was held to offi cially neotify Congressman Paul Brown of his nomination in the State Democratic Primary and following the business session the delegates were guests of Congressman Brown at a barbe cue. Chairman Erwin succeeds Jack Eubanks of Columbia county, who was vice-chairman and became acting chairman to , serve the unexpired term of Walter Whitehead, who died. Mr. Eubanks remains vice chairman and Judge Clark Ed wards was re-elected secretary of the group. He included federal deposit in surance, old age benefits, social security, housing, low cost elec {ricity to farms through the rural electrification administration, the federal educational program, soil conservation, new farm marketing procedures and other measures, which, he said, “have brought hope and prosperity to Anerican homes.” Twenty years ago, he said, the United States was operating un der a “Hamiltonian democracy of ‘give most to the fewest’ and ‘soak the poor and help the rich,’ in stead of the Democratic party’s policy of ‘good health, good homes and plenty to eat—the only an swer to communism.” -But'Rép.

Pallbearers, will be Preston Al mand, J. W. Geiger, Rufus Smith, V. C. McAllister, Ralph Tolbert, and Claude Little. A native of Madison county, Mr. Moon had resided in Charlotte for sixteen years where he was con nected with Prather Floral Com fany. He had spent his early years n Athens where he moved from Madison county. He took an ac ‘tive and leadlnéhrole in the activ~ ities of his urch at Moon’s Grove and the happiest times of his life were those spent in that community. The remaing will lie in state at the Moon Grove Church for &n ~aur preceeding the services. Mr. Moon’s many friends_nir;a this setf awon of the state wi e grea ‘shddened at ti\e hews of his deaﬂ{ ’ For the time being this fight overshadowed candidates maneu vering for the party presidential nomination. The delegate clash took over center stage when a contests sub~ commitee, then the full Democrat ie national committee, voted in turn today to let bitterly anti administration delegations repre sent Texas and Mississippi tem porarity at the convention that opens Monday. Hint at Bolts Leaders of the delegations have been refusing to promise solid sup port in advance for the man the convention nominates for presi dent. They have hinted at bolts if nominee and platform are not to their liking. Losing pro-Turman delegations from the two Southern states angrily battled on, contending the rival slates are stacked with Re publicans and “Dixiecrats.” The feud still must be referred by a convention credentials com mittee. But regardles of the out come there, the final decision is bound to be tossed to the conven tion itself. A ruckus on the con vention floor appeared certain, There is a possibility of another party splitting walkout by poten tial Southern rebels, even before the convention can settle down to adopting a platform and picking a nominee. Pegged to the outcome of the delegate contests were bids of pro- Truman and anti-administration forces for the power and prestige that will enable one or the other to dominate the convention. Both factions are aware that it was a victory on a side issue involving delegate di!:siputes that gave Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower the momen tum that carried him to a first ballot nomination at the Republi can convention last week. Change Of Atmosphere The Democratic contest ruckus brought a complete and sudden change of atmosphere to the scene of the party convention. Major candidates for the party nomination had been jockeying in polite, restrained fashion for spots of advantage in the presidential nominating derby. All of them—Senators Estes Ke= fauver, Richard Russell, and Rob ert 8. Kerr, Nflu' Vice-President Barkley and Mutual Securigy Dir ector Averell Harriman—had been laying down the usual claims of progress and certain victory. Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois quietly kept on playing hide and seek, not i saying so much as “maybe” to his admirers. There had been little of animos ity, of charges and countercharges in the rival camps. But the delegate dispute quickly sent a feeling of tension through convention headquarters at the Conrad Hilton Hitel. For one thing, on recommenda tion of the Democratic national committee, the convention must decide whether to adopt an oath= of-allegiance resolution binding all delegations to spport the party nominee. Aside from Texas and Mississippi, a resolution like that wouldn’t be particularly palatable in other parts of the South. Meanwhile, reports are popping up at various points on the con vention scene that President Tru man will offer his support to Har (Continued On Page Six) Commerce Man Robbed Friday Dr. Paul T. Scoggins, who serves a double role of medical man and mayor of Commerce, was called from his home Friday night to care for an injured man and was relieved of his clothes and auti mobile in payment for his trouble. Relieved of his trousers and two pocketbooks which he said contained a “considerable amount of money”, Dr. Scoggins was left stranded on a dirt road which cuts off from the Jefferson-Commerce Road. Jackson County Sheriff John D. Brooks revealed yesterday that two men knocked on the doctor’s door around nine o’clock with the request that he come to care for a friend who had been injured in an automobile wreck. The doctor complied with the request and had a gun jammed in his ribs be fore they had lost sight of his home. Ordered to drive on, he took the Jefferson-Commerce Road and was told to stop some half mile from the paved road. Although without clothes, he lost no time in walking to the pavement and flagging a car driv en by an Army recruiting officer, to get back to town. Once there, he telephoned Sheriff Brooks. The doctor’s car was located a few hours later, only some five miles from the site where he was left stranded.
