Weak Majority By EDWIN B. HAAKINSON WASHINGTON, July 30—(AP). Most politicians agreed today the unexpected death of Sen. Brien McMahon (D.-Conn.) will make even tighter the already touch and-go battle between Democrats and Republicans for control of the Senate this fall. Wobbly Majority McMahon’s death Monday re duced the wobbly Senate Demo cratic majority to three and boost ed to 35 the number of seats at stake in the November elections. As matters now stand, there are 46 Republican Senators, 49 Demo crats and one vacancy in the 96 Senate seats. Of the 25 seats to be filled this fall, 15 are now held by Demo crats and 20 by Republicans. The majority of the present Senators are still serving out their six-year terms and are not up for re-elec tion. Republicans to regain Senate control in 1953 must elect at least 23 Senators this fall to gain a bare majority of 49. They probably need 25 or 26 to have effective control, because some Republican Senators often vote with Demo crats. Democrats need only 14 winners in Senate contests to retain a bare majority. Many of the Senate con tests are in Southern or border states where Democrats normally win. Count On Ike Republican enthusiasts for Dwight D. Eisenhower, GOP pres idential nominee, are counting on his vote-getting ability at the head of the ticket to produce majori ties in both the House and Senate. Boosters for Democratic nomi nee Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illi~ nois expect the same of him. Because both vice presidential nominees are Senators, Republi can Richard Nixon of California and Democrat John Sparkman of Alabama, the winning ticket auto matically will lose & Senate seat temporarily. However governors of their states are of the same party as the nominees, and are expected to appoint successors from the same party, keeping the balance un changed. One thing is certain: There will be at least six new faces in the Senate in January: They will be successors to Sens. Connally (D.-Tex.), O’ Conor (D.- Md.) and seaton (R.-Neb.) who are not seeking re-election; Mc- Mahon; Brewster (R.-Me.) who lost in a primary; and to the suc cessful vice presidential candidate. YWCA Campers Render Annual Blackface Skit BY R. H. DRIFTMIER, JR. The Old South rose again last night ag the Jennie' Arnold Ed wards Camp (Y. W. C. A.) pre sented its annual blackface nrin strel to a packed house of some 300 thoroughly pleased Athenians. The minstrel and the candle-light ing service following officially ended the 1952 camping season for the girls. At 8 o’clock the stage curtains of the rustic lodge auditorium parted and the first half of the show began. The stage background was composed of a chorus of fifty blackfaced gals clad in blue jeans, white blouses, and big red bow ties, and singing the familiar and well-loved refrains of the immor tal Stephen Foster, to whom the first half of the show was devoted. The first scene depicted Foster (Jackie Hutton) seated at a table searching his mind for new sonfs as the chorus softly sang “Old Folks At Home.” The setting changed to depict four “darkies, eatin’ a 'melon,” and ha-monizing on “Old Black Joe” The auartet consisted of Drought Aid By The Associated Press The South’s long spell of hot end humid weather continued to day, increasing the threat of heavy damage to crops in many areas. Crops also weére in danger from the drought in Massachusetts. The hot, dry belt extended over most of Texas, the Gulf States and the South Atlantic states. The summer-long hot weather ‘and light rainfall has virtually destroyed some crops, particular iy corn, in some sections of the Southeast. Pastures have been burned brown, forcing many farmers to sell livestock. Disaster Area The U. S. Department of Agri culture has declared Tennessee a disaster area. Other sections in the Southeast, department offi cials said, may be designated as drought disaster areas. In Boston, Gov. Paul A. Dever said he vsill ask the federal gov=- ernment to declare Massachu~ setts a disaster area because of the prolonged drought. He said the drought “has done irreparable damage to crops.” Rainfall has measured less than one inch in July. Hottest Day Yesterday was one of the hot test days of the summer season in many Southeastern states, with temperatures climbing above 100 in cities in Alabama, South Caro lina, Tennessee, Georgia and Ar kansas. It hit 108 in Huntsville, Ala., and Anderson, 8. C.; 107 at Columbia, 8. C., and Tuscaloosa, Ala, and 106 in Birmingham and Muscle Shoals, Ala., and Rome, Ga. It was generally fair and pleas ant weather in other parts of the country today. Cool air extended over the northern tier of states from the Dakotas to New England. Light rain was reported early today along the Mississippi Valley, parts of Georgia, and the Central Atlantic states, Arizona and Ne vada. HEADS GOP PUBLICITY WASHINGTON —(AP)— Rob ert Humphreys, former newspa perman and magazine writer, has been named publicity director for the Republican National Commit=- tee. He succeeds William H. My lander, who resigned. Carolyn Sears and Betty Byrd., ©Old Favorite The show continued with the old favorite, “Camptown Races,” which was followed by a singing and dancing duet by twin South ern belle lovelies, Martha and Mary Ann Pennington. In keeping with the dancing mood, little Carol Downs, who was voted the «Best Camper of the Year,” pre sented a tap dance version of “Sunrise Serenade.” After the rendition of another Foster favorite from the chorus, Virginia Garrard stepped out of the story book of time to sing the old romantic lyriecs of “Jeanie.” Miss Garrard also assisted in the direction of the modern prototype of the old showboat days. The final routine of the first half of the minstrel was a dance by five Gmng girls of the eamp, Frankie Weatherford, Woo Hubert, Linda King, Susan Ridgway and Sarah Anderson. The girls danced ofito the stage and then raised their long skirts over their heads to reveal the upper portion of five “mammies” painted on the under- ATHENS, GA., WEDNESDAY JULY 30, 1952 Neighbors Seek End Of Family ~ Feud In Virginia ‘ BLUEFIELD, W. Va., July 30.— (AP) — “Call the law, ’cause they’re at it again,” cried a young ster with buckshot in the seat of his pants. “They better stop this shootin’ so a man can get some sleep” complained another resident of nearby Lamar Hollow. Both reflected the sentiments of folks in the hollow who would like to see an end to the four family shootin’ feud which has been outstanding for its poor marksmanship. Wild Shots The indignant youngster and an other neutral in the feud, @ man with a peg leg, each were hit by wild shotgun pellets as the How ertons continued their argument with the Blankenships, Pender grasses and Sigmens, L. E. King, superintendent of a coal operation and a man promi nent in the community since he has the only telephone, reported last night the wounding of the pair whe had no interest or eon nection with the feudin® and fussin’. Neither was hospitalized &and their hurts apparently were no more serious than the slight wounds received earlier by one of the Blankenships and one of the Howertons. And King added somewhat test ily that his sleep has been broken twice in the last three nights as shots rang out in the argument over land ownership. Tightened Vigil ~ State police say they've tight ‘ened their vigil around the area, )but point out there is a serious lack of manpower to cope with such a situation in the isolated area. Furthermore, they can’t act un til a list of warrants is issued, they say. One law officer said he heard some charges would be filed this week, Meanwhile, the three family combine vows to proceed with the building of an access road on property the Howertons claim as their own. The Pendergrasses say they own the land. Athenian Joi | “Saucer” Scare An eerie cast to the moon last night almost began an epidemic of “flying saucer” rumors. An Ogle ,thorpe avenue housewife, sitting on her front porch stringing beans for today’s lunch, noticed the sli ver of light breaking through the clouds and watched to discern any movement of the light. After forty-five minutes of watching during which time she reports “the thing looked wierder and wierder,” she determined to seek moral support. Calling to some neighbors and to her hus band, she assembled a group of four to do some star-gazing. Although the men-folks claim to have known what it was all the time, it was with some relief that the small party finally saw the moon break away from its sur rounding clouds and appear un obstructed in the sky. The lady reports today that she had sonre notion of calling aero nautics experts for authentication of her “flying saucer” but is glad now that she hesitatew. “It did look mighty funny,” she added weakly. Gefs Reprimand FT. MEADE, Md. July 30—(AP) —The American general who was reported by the Russians to have kept a diary advocating a hit-’em first war with the Soviet Union has been convicted of letting his diary fall into Communist hands. Technically, Maj. Gen. Robert W. Grow was found guilty by a court martial yesterday of two of fenses: Jotting down military se crets in his personal diary and failing to safeguard classified data. Gets A Reprimand He was sentenced to a repri mand, which will count against future promotion, and suspension from command for gix months. Maximum penalty would have been five years confinement, dis charge, and forfeiture of pay and allowances. What his diary really contained also is veiled in secrecy. But if propaganda Russia poured out last | year to bolster war-mongering charges against the United States ’is correct, the diary said in part: War Now! “War: as soon as possible; Now: | .. .the time is ripe for a blow this l year 1951 . ... we must learn that [in this war it is fair to hit below the belt. We must understand that | this war is total war and is fought with all weapons.” DEMOLAYS PLAN } ACTIVITIES | Members of local DeMolay Chapter are urged to attend to night's regular Wednesday night meeting at the Temple on Meigs street. ‘l'imo for the meeting is 8{ o'clock and impertant plens for summer activities are on the agen da.

And they would have been en titled to think so because people were walking about the streets during a heavy shower without umbrellas and smiling happily. Athenians had a right to smile happily and walk around in the rain because it brought Dblessed relief from several days of tem=- peratures at 100 or more and more days when the mercury was right at 100. Man-Sized Rain Starting as a gentle shower the precipitatipn built up into a man sized rain and windstorm, gusts up to 45 miles an houyr being reg istered at the U. S. Weather Bu~- rear at the Airport. The airport }bureau also reported 1.62 inches of rain within the space of a couple of hours. While all of the city received some rain, the southern portion got by far the most of it, Dr. E. S. Sell, U. S. Weather Observer, reporting on .13 inches. Throughout the southern part of the city, streets and yards were littered with branches blown from trees with here and there medium sized trees being uprooted. In the 700 block on Milledge Avenue a large tree limb was torn loose and this morning was resting on top of an automobile parked in front of a residence. The wind also played havoc with the alum= inum fence surrounding the Uni versity football practice field on Lumpkin street, tearing it loose from its posts and crumpling it up like paper. The Fire Department reported it answered several minor calls due to the storm, one to a home in which lightning struck a bed and one or two others where the lightning had followed power wires into the homes but the dam=- age was negligible, The brunt of the windstorm ap parently was felt at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Randall Bedgood, Jr., on West View Drive. There the wind blew roofs off two chicken houses, blew down the concrete walls, demolished one barn and took the roof off an other, as well as damaging the roof of the Bedgood residence and window screens. Three trees were also uprooted. The rainfall was pretty general throughout the county. However, at Holly Heights community only a trace fell and none at all at Oco= nee Heights. Princeton reported two good rains, one in the afternoon and the other at 3 a. m. today. Gaines community reported a good rain fall and Winterville had a heavy rain and also some damage from wind, principally trees and TV antennae being toppled. The rain extended beyond Fow ler’s Community on the Atlanta Highway but no wind damage was reported.

Court Ruling The constitutional court ruled it could not consider Socialist chal lenges of the peace contract with the Allies and the European Ar my agreement until the pacts had been enacted into law by the West German Parliament. The two treaties, ending most ‘oceupation controls and obligat ing West Germany to raige 500,000 troops for the proposed European Army, come up for final vote after the lower house of Parliament, the Bundestag, reconvenes in Septem ber. Boost To Ratify The court decislon was a big boost toward ratification, smce‘ the tribunal refused to rule on Socialist contentions that the pacts could be approved only after na tional elections chose a new Par liament and after a constitutional amendment authorizing rearma ment. Socialist Leader Kurt Schu macher had predicted his party would be swept into office if a national election was ordered this year, Otherwise, the Adenauer government is not scheduled to face the electorate until 1953. \Cr der Ri Athens friends will regret to learn of the death last night at 6:15 o’clock in Chester, S.

AFL Appoints Old Members By ROWLAND EVANS JR. WASHINGTON, July 30 —(AP) —A shiny new Wage Stabilization Board free from the bitterness and controversy which surrounded its predecessor came into legal exist ence today. As yet unmanned, the new bcard will look much like the old WSB which, with a membership of 18 representing the public interest, labor and industry, was ordered disbanded by Congress because of recommendations it made last March in itg effort to settle the critical steel dispute. Weak Powers The new WSB has no power to deal with nationwide labor dis putes; all its members will need Senate confirmation; and all re gulations it may issue to control wages must be cleared first by the Economic Stabilization Agency headed by Roger L. Putnam. The new board has already crossed one hurdle: The AFL an=- nounced that it will reappoint its representation on the old board te the new board. The CIO also agreed to partici= pate in the new board despite what CIO President Philip Mur ray called its “unfairly rigid wage sections.” ; Slated for chalrmansnip is Har vard Law Professor Archibald Cox, a young labor relations expert who now is co-chairman of the Con=- struction industry Stabilization Commission. The new WSB to be named by President Truman will likely con=- tain several men who served on the old board. One of these is public member Paul Guthrie; two others are industry members Hoey Hennessey and Malcomb lgenise; three ‘' others are labor members Harry Bates, William Birthright, and Elmer Walker, top executives of the AFL bricklayers, barbers and machinists. Another likely public member is Samuel Edes, now chairman of the Chicago WSB regional office, Al though President Truman has said he will name an 18-man board, it may be several weeks before the full complement ig reached.
