Thursday Heat :
Breaks Records
In State Cities
.. By The Associated Press
A slight break in the 'cord%
heat wave was promised N
Georgia today but the good tidings
were not extended to the southern
portion of the state.
The Weather Bureau’s ferecast
was “mostly fair, not so hot in
north portion; continued hot in
south portion.” The forecast for
Saturday, however, was “fair and
not so hot.”
Broke Records
Thusday’s heat broke records in
several cities, sending the mercury
up to 109 degrees at Augusta.. ..
Macon had a high of 105 and so
did Rome. Columbus had a record
breaking 104 and that also was the
top reading at Savannah. It
reached 102 at Albany, 101 at Val
dosta, and 100 in Brunswick and
Atlanta. The previous July 24 high
in Atlanta was 98 degrees in 1907.
Crop losses from the drought
that has extended for many weeks
continued to pile up in most sec
tions of Georgia.
Crop Damage
A report from Columbus esti
'mated Chattahoochee valley crop
'damage at nearly 10 million dol
lars.
Similar reports ecame from
‘Washington county, for across the
‘state near the coastal plain. Some
‘livestock farmers there are sell
ing their cattle because of pas
tures scorched brown. The corn
crop is near a total loss and 40
per cent damage to cotton is ex~
pected unless rain comes in 10
days.
NO SWIMMING AT YWCA
TODAY
There will be no swimming at
the Athens YMCA pool this after
noon or tonight, due to some tech=-
nical difficulties. The announce
ment of cancelation of swimming
plans was made by Miss Elsie
Jester, “Y” athletic director, who
stated that the pool pump is
burned out and that it will be
Monday before repairs will be
completed. Miss Jester was anxi
ous that all persons who plan to
swim on Friday night know of the
difficulty and promised that
swimming will again be underway
by Monday.
Edson Explains Russell
Stand On Taft-Hartley
By Peter Edson
NEA Correspondent
CHICAGO July 25 —(NEA) —
The full story of Georgia Senator
Richard Russell’s conversion from
support to opposition for the Taft-
Hartley labor law makes one of
the more bizarre sidelights to the
Democratic National Convention.
It was not just a ‘sell out” on the
part of Senator Russell to gain un
jon labor support for his presi
dential ambitions, as has been re-
Forted. It was a series of more or
ess accidental developments, one
Jeading into the other, that in the
end make a logical chain of events,
The first link was formed by
Earle Cocke, Jr., a Georgian, a
close friend and campaign man=
ager for Senator Russell, and a
former National Commander of
the American Legion in his Legion
work, Cocke had been associated
with Harry gginivan, who had

CON¥”& iON HALL, Chicago,
Juk\& —(AP)— Weary, squab
bi>.v"* ‘mocrats deployed for their
vy"’ . battle over a presidential
Mo anee today with hastily assem
-2 d stop-Stevenson troops dug in
.1 defense.
Supporters of Gov. Adlai E.
Stevenson — now somewhat less
reluctant to become the party
standard bearer than he has been
before—carried the 4dttack to 10
opponents seeking the top nomi
nation.
The Illinois governor’s legions
were rolling swiftly forward,
spurred on by two skirmish vie
tories last night and early today
over the eombined forces of Sen.
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee and
' Averell Harriman of New York.
| Stevenson Coup
~ The Stevenson men were cre
dited with bringing back into the
convention fold bolt-threatening
delegations from Virginia, South
Carolina and Louisiana.
They won a clear cut though
narrow-margin victory in keep
ing the delegates at work in a 14-
hour session but they had to sur
render finally and allow adjourn
ment in the early morning hours
because of what had all of the
earmarks of a filibuster by the
Kefauver-Harriman coalition. |
Working together in what they
have styled a “liberal” combine
which has attracted supporters of
some other candidates, Kefauver
and Harriman took a (iBS to 529
licking in efforts to prevent the
28-vote Virginia delegation from
balloting on presidential and vice
presidential nominees.
It was the first time such a
coalition has been defeated on an
important roll call in a Democra
tie convention since the early days
of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Conservative Switch?
The result might presage a
swing toward a more conservative
type of campaign if Stevenson
emerges as the winner—especial
ly if he gets Southern support in
the nomination drive being put on
for him. 5 it e
The Virginians had refused so
subscribe fully to a new loyalty
pledge put across by the K-H
combine which would require
delegates to go to work to place
the convention’s nominees on their
state’s November ballot, under the
Democratic label. ;
In the wuproarious two-hour
wrangle that followed this test
vote, Rep. John McCormack of
Massachusetts—filling in tempo
rarily for convention Chairman
Sam Rayburn of Texas—gavelled
the pledge-balking South Carolina
and Louisiana delegations back on
the roll call from which they had
been stricken when they refused
to take the loyalty pledge.
The net result was to leave the
three delefations in a position to
cast a total of 64 convention votes
for the South’s champion, Sen.
Richard B. Russell. .
Then, if they didn't like the
eventual nominee, they could go
home and name their own candi
date for president in state conven
tions. All they appeared to be
pledged to do, as Gov. James F.
Byrnes of South Carolina ex
plained it to the delegates, was to
give the national party a place on
their state ballots.
Backers of Stevenson were con

for Senator Russell. There was no
money in it, Cocke explained.
Guinivan talked with Charnay,
and a deal was made. It so hap
pened that Allied Syndicates had
another customer in Washington,
and one that ~aid well. This was
John L. Lewis and the United
Mine Workers Union. Through a
separate office, Allied* handled
their publie relations.
In the course of preparinfi for his
campaign, Senator Russell voiced
some concern over the stand he
should take on Labor legislation.
Senator Russell had voted for the
Taft-Hartley Act. He had also to
over-ride the President’s veto of
that act.
Since its passage, however, Sen
ator Russell had noted that the act
was not the cure-ali for industrial
strife it had been cracked up to
be. He thought some changes ought
to be made. But he was not tinough

IHST Demanded
Fast Settlement
By ROWLAND EVANS, JR.
WASHINGTON, July 25—(AP).
The longest, costliest steel strike
in American history in effect is
cver. Production is expected to
resume next week.
The striking CIO Steelworkers
Union was cohsidered virtually
certain today to ratify a strike
end agreement reached at the
White House after President Tru
man personally demanded — and
got—a settiement. - -
It was not a clear cut victory
for anyone concerned—the union,
industry, or the government. There
was give and take on all sides.
The end of the crippling, 53-
day strike was announced late
yesterday by the President him
self, with CIO President Philip
Murray and U. S. Steel Chairman
Benjamin Fairless standing beside
him.
Speedy Production
Calling newsmen into his own
office — a rare occurrence — Tru
man told them Murray and Fair
less “have reached agreement on
important basic issues” after day
long conferences, and predicted a
“speedy resumption of steel pro
duction.” !
He said Murray would meet this
afternoon with his 175-man wage
policy committee to obtain ratifi
cation of the agreement.
Fairless, it was reliably learned,
plans to make a personal appear
ance before this committee in a
dramatic move aimed at wiping
out any bitterness.
At best it will be four or five
days before any substantial pro
duction of steel is reached. It
takes that long to heat up the
banked blast furnaces = which
stand-by workers have kept alive
since the strike started June 2.
The new steel which comes out
of some 380 struck plants will sell
for at least $5.20 a ton more than
before the strike started.

Extended School Plan
Ends Summer Activity
By R. H. DRIFTMIER, JR.
It’s a sad day in Athens for the
hundreds of boys and girls who
have been participating in the Ex
tended School Program, for today
is the last time the kids can go.
The eight week program has been
successfully brought to a close
and local children can only look
forward to next year.
Not for a long time has there
been in Athens a program that has
been so widely liked as the “Rec
reation Program” provided under
the Minimum Foundation plan.
Every one of the eight centers in
which the extensive variety of ac
tivities have been taking place
has had enrollments of over a
hundred children,
Any child, white or colored,
was invited to take part in the
program and the response proved
the success of the expert direc
tion given by the supervisors in
the schools.

BY WILBUR JENNINGS
CHICAGO, July 25. — (AP) —
Senator Richard Russell of Georgia
said today that “all of the activi«
ties+and scheming of the last 24
hours have not affected my sup
port” for the Democratic presi
dential nomination.
The Georgian made his brief
statement without further explan
ation shortly before he retired fol
lowing a day spent before a tele
vision set in his hotel suite.
In the face of mounting support
for Governor Adlai SteVenson of
Illinois for the nomination, Rus
sell said:
“Prelimvinaries now are out of
the way and the decks are cleared
for the nomination, All of the ac
tivities and scheming of the last
24 hours have not affected my
support.
“T still think that I am in the
most favorable position of any
candidate.” .
With that Russell went to bed.
Friends said he had done a good
deal of armchair quarterbacking
as he watched telecasts of last
night’s hectic convention session.
Russell’s position was strength
ened when the convention seated
Louisiana, South Carolina and
Virginia. All three delegations are
for the Georgian,
In most quarters, however, Rus
sell was ruled out of the presiden
tial-nominating race. And with the
Stevenson wave headed shoreward
when the convention resumes to
day, there was mounting interest
in securing Russell as a running
mate for Stevenson.
The senator, has said he does not
want the vice presidency, but
some of his advisers want him to
take the second-spot nomination.
ed persons a birds-eye view of
just what had been done. Every
body that saw the children’s work
commented on what a splendid
job had been done jn teaching the
kids arts and crafts. Not only that,
but the visitors also were im
pressed by the way in which the
children worked together, sharing
and playing.
Displayed Projects
In one of the rooms at the schodl
were displayed clay projects,
paintings, paper mache plates,
bird houses, very well sewn aprons
decorated with painted designs,
baskets, and numerous other in
teresting proyects—all made by
the children themselves. Miss
Winkfield was well-pleased with
the cooperative and interested spi
rit of her boys and girls and said
that none of them wanted the pro
gram to end, which sums up the
feeling of al the rest of the Ath
ens youths who took an active
part in the program.
The program will be activatefi
again next summer and from a
indications it will be another hap
py season of recreation for many
local children. Well earned credit
should be given to the city’s edu
cational heads and to the super
visors in the eight schools for their
support and direction in carrying
out such a successful first year of
operation of the Extended School
Program.' =4 ¢y i L OB ief e 2

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, July 256.—(AP)--
The feuding, quarreling Democratic convention ted
reached the hour for its big job — picking a presidentis
candidate—with a big field of hopefuls striving d
ately to stop a roll toward Governor Adlai Stevensen
Illinois. i o
Backers of Estes Kefauver and
Averell Harriman, whipped in the
terrific last night-early today bat
tle over seating Southern rebels
against a loyalty pledge, hoped
for a shift of sentiment in the del
egates troopin; back into this hall
for the payoff.
CIO Request
However, just before the con
vention opened today’s session at
12:01 p: m., Jack Kroll, CIO politi
cal action director, asked all CIO
member-delegates to vote for
Stevenson ‘“as soon as they can
fulfill their commitments.”
By this he said he meant they
should vote for Stevenson on the
first ballot, or on the soonest sub
sequent ballot possible.
The way the Stevenson forces
maneuvered to seat the Virginia,
Louisiana and South Carolina del
egations, despite their refusal to
take a loyalty pledge, pointed to
ward a Southerner as the No. 2
man on the ticket—if Stevenson
wins.
CONVENTI ON HALL, CHl
cago, July 25.—(AP)—With the
first ballot roll called through
New Mexico, the count for the
Democratic presidential nomi
nation stood:
Kefauver, 148.
Russell, 12414,
Stevenson, 158. @
A major portion of the states
demanded polls of their delega
tions, thus holding up final re
sults of the first ballet tfotals.
At press-time, however, Gov
ernor Stevenson was leading his
two closest competitors by a
slight margin. There was no in
dication early in the balioting
whether his lead would meet
any serious challenge later dur
ing the roll call.
President Truman’s alternate,
during a poll of the Missouri
delegation cast the chief execu
tive’s vote for the Illinois gov
ernor.
But those Northern elements
which fly the “liberal” banner
indicated they ‘would scrap to get
one of their men accepted,
géand Firm
At a pre-session caucus of the
California delegation, John Anson
Ford, state national committee
man, told the delegates to stand
firm for Kefauver., He said there
was a “ruthless” coalition out to
put Stevenson over.
The newly-seated Virginia dele
g}?tes caucused and voted to give
their 28 votes to Senator Richard
Russell of Georgia on the first bal
lot. They had been leaning that
way but were not formally com
mitted heretofore.
With 10 candidates in the field,
it might well take several ballots
to shake out the “favorite sons”
and get a decision.
Even in this climactic hour,
Stevenson still wasn’t saying
whether he would accept a nomi
nation.

TO ANSWER ROLL CALL — Leaders of the Southern
bloe threatening to bolt the Democratie convention over
the “loyalty pledge” issue are shown entering the sixth
session of the convention arm in arm. Left to right are
Governor James Byrnes, South Carolina; governor Rob
ert F. Kennon of Louisiana, and Senator Harry Byrd of
Virginia. Chairman of the convention, Sam Rayburn,
has said that the three states would be invited to answer
| the roll-call of states for nominating speeches. That
| seemed to mean the three Southern states which have
| refused to sign a loyalty pledge are back injfi)cd stand
l ing before the convention—at least as far as Rayburn is
concerned.— (NEA Telephoto.) | VO AR Y R
