Marshall Says
Cant Be Drafted
For Presidency
Takes Oath of Office As
Secretary of State After
Squelching Speculation
Washington, Jan. 21 (U.R)
Gen. George C. Marshall took
office of secretary of state today
after bluntly squelching specula
tion that he might be available
later as a democratic candidate
for president.
Some democrats had discussed
the idea of drafting him if Pres
ident Truman should not run in
1948.
Before taking his new post,
Marshall in an unsolicited state
ment to reporter declared:
"I cannot be drafted for any
political office.
Non-Political Job
In addition to squelching pres
idential speculation conerning
him, Marshall also said that he
considered the secretaryship of
ijtate to be a non-political job.
4 "And," he added, "I am going
yo govern myself accordingly."
J Marshall's statement was per
haps the most explicit and unam
biguous disavowal of political
ambition since another general
took himself out of politics after
the Civil war. At that time Gen.
William T. Sherman declared
that he would not run for pres
ident if nominated, and would
not serve if elected.
To End Discussion
"I am being explicit and em
phatic," Marshall said, "in order
to terminate once and for all any
discussion of my name in regard
to political office.
Whatever his feeling about po
litical office, the moment Mar
shall took oath as secretary of
state he became heir to the office
of president should anything
happen to Mr. Truman in the
next two years.
There being no vice president,
the secretary of state is now first
in the line of succession.
Marshall took the oath of of
fice as successor to James F.
Byrnes from Chief Justice Fred
M. Vinson in Mr. Truman s exec
utive office.

Seek to Extend
Sugar Control
Washington, Jan. 21 () The
department of agriculture ad
vised a congressional committee
it will ask for continued ration
ing and price control of sugar
throughout this year.
James H. Marshall, head of
the department's sugar branch
told the house food shortage in
vestigating committee he hopes
the sugar ration for individuals
might be increased by 10 pounds
this year
He indicated, however, there
will be no increase before April
1. Despite Improvement in
world production, he said, the
supply ts still far short of de
mand. "If sugar rationing and price
control were lifted at this time
Marshall said, "it is my opinion
that the price easily would go
to 40 cents a pound."
In sucu a situation, he said
the great bulk of the available
sugar might be bought by indus
trial users, "and the housewife
might get much less."
The authority to ration sugar
expires April 1, and the price
control powers end July 1. Mar
shall said the department will
request that both powers be ex
tended through December 31 as
they relate to sugar.

Students Hang
Talmadge in
Efiigy at Capitol
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 21 (U.R)
Gov. Herman Talmadge was
hanged in effigy today from the
arm of a statue on the state
capitol grounds by some 2,000
jeering university students who
marched on the capitol to de
mand that he get out of the of
fice he took over last week.
The crowd joined by scores
of citizens in a march through
downtown Atlanta, hoisted the
grotesque swastika-marked fig
ure to the statue of the late Tom
Watson.
It was the same spot where
five years ago other students
had hanged young Talmadge's
father in effigy during a protest
over his firing of two university
professors which led to disac
creditation of Georgia colleges.
Willing to Resign
The chanting mob of students
descended on the capitol lawns
shortly after Talmadge had told
the state legislature that he was
willing to resign and run for
the office in a state-wide elec
tion if Acting Gov. M. E. Thomp
son would also agree to do so.
The effigy of Talmadge was
attired in bright red suspenders
-hallmark of the Talmadge
white supremacy" political
faith for many years.
Placards carried by the stu
dents urged the legislature to
go home and wait for the
courts to decide whether Tal
madge or Thompson is the right
ful possessor of the governor's
office which both now claim.
Demand Rights Back
"The people are the sovereign
ty. Give us back our rights,"
another placard proclaimed.
The demonstrators were called
to silence shortly before 3 while
two resolutions on the current
crisis were read. Then they
thundered their approval of the
documents.
J. L. Mauldin, an elderly con
stable, joined the young people
and hoisted a placard asking
"who stole my vote?
Talmadge had taken some of
the edge off of the demonstra
tion by his dramatic proposal
that , he and Thompson resign
His statement brought a thun
derous ovation from legislators
convened in joint session.
Ask Hoover for
Food Survey
Washington, Jan. 21 (JP) For
mer President Herbert Hoover
has been asked to undertake a
survey of food problems In the
American and British zones of
occupied Germany.
This was disclosed today by
a war department official who
asked that his name not be used.
He said Mr. Hoover has not yet
given his answer.
Presumably the proposal to
the 72-year-old former president
has the approval of the British
government and President Tru
man as well as the highest war
department officials concerned
with occupation policies.
The British zone was coupled
with that of the United States in
the proposal, officials said, be
cause of the recent agreement to
unify them economically.
As a world authority on food
problems since World War I days
Mr. Hoover was asked to make a
personal survey expected to re
quire several weeks and then to
submit recommendations on
means to increase food output
and to assure its most equitable
distribution.
Austin and Marshall Plan
Basic U. S. Policy on Disarming
Lake Success, N.Y., Jan. 21 (JP) Warren R. Austin, chief U.S.
delegate to the United Nations, will begin discussions early next
week with newly appointed Secretary of State George C. Marshall
on American plans for atomic
energy control and world dis
armament. This was disclosed today by
American sources who said the
two diplomats probably would
lay groundwork for a basic U
S. policy on world-wide arms
reduction.
The U. N. security council,
over-riding Russian and Polish
opposition, approved yesterday
an American request to put off
consideration of disarmament
until Feb. 4.
The arms postponement was
asked by Warren because of the
shift in state department lead

1 Killed and 20
Others Injured
In Plane Crash
Oakland, Calif., Jan. 21 UP)
A WAVE flight orderly was
killed and 20 other persons, in
cluding three women, were In
jured in the crash of a four-en-gined
navy plane at Oakland
airport yesterday when, for the
first time in more than 76,000
landings, radar-ground-control
failed to guide a ship to safety.
The big naval air transport
(NATS) plane landed 150 feet
short of the fog-shrouded run
way and crashed into a four
foot rock wall at the edge of
the field.
Skids 1000 feet
Its undercarriage sheared
away and the plane sKiaaea
across the field on its fuselage
for 1,000 feet, shedding wreck
age and passengers as it went.
Then it caught fire and burned.
The dead WAVE was identi
fied by the navy today as Avia
tion Specialist 3c Margaret
Wallace, whose father is Har
ry W. Wallace, of Pitcairn, Pa.
Most seriously hurt of the sur
vivors was Lt. (jg) F. A.
Michalek from Great Mills, Md
who was burned when the plane
caught fire.
Most of those injured suffer
ed only abraisons. Many re
mained strapped in their seats
until the plane stopped.
Lt. (jg) Edythe Bovic, flight
nurse from East Rygate, Vt., re
mained in her seat and helped
others in the crash despite a def
inite shocked condition.
"The fire, started immediately
she said "the boys were won
derful in helping."
Carried Crew of Seven
Flying from Moffett field, only
about 40 miles south of Oak
land, the plane carried a crew
of seven, including the WAVE
who was killed and 14 passen
gers.
The only woman on the pas
senger list was Lt. Comdr. L. A.
McNaughton of the navy nurse
corps from Hastings, Neb. She
was detained in Oak Knoll naval
hospital for observation.
Oakland was the first stop
on a scheduled flight across the
nation for the plane. Twelve
passengers were to have been
picked up at Oakland before the
ship proceeded to San Diego,
Corpus Christi, Tex.; Pensacola,
Fla.; Jacksonville, Fla., and the
naval air station, 60 miles south
east of Washington, D. C.
Despite the all-enshrouding
fog which covered the bay area
at the time of the crash, the
weather was considered routine
for airmen trained in radar con
trolled landings.

They said they had no idea how
long the discussions would con
tinue.
One of the things that will
concern the two diplomats,
these sources said, would be set

American government to handle
the disarmament problem as it
will affect the United States.
The talks also will cover the
whole range of U. S. participa
tion in United Nations affairs
including the atomic energy
commission and the security,
trusteeship and economic and
social councils.
Some American sources said
they believed there would be
little, if any. divergence of
views between Austin and Mar

The Russians are seeking his ar
rest, in this country.
ine state department an
nounced today the rejection was
handed to the Soviet embassy
yesterday.
The announcement said it was
based on the absence of an ex
tradition treaty between Russia
and the United States.
The Russians said he is a for
mer employe of their embassy in
Mexico City and charged him
with embezzlement.
The U. S. reply said that the
supreme court has stated that
under the domestic law of the
United States power to provide
for extradition is not confined to
the executive branch of the gov
ernment." The reply said that because of
this and the absence of an extra
dition treaty the government
lacks power to surrender Alck
seev. The Russian's criticism of
his home government was con
tained in a statement issued by
his lawyer in New York.
The American reply to the
Soviet request was handed to
Vassili A. Tarassenko, embassy
counselor, by Llewellyn E,

that it will lift its press censor
ship during the forthcoming
Big Four foreign ministers meet
ing in Moscow on the German
peace treaty, it was learned to
day.
Foreign correspondents will
be allowed to file uncensored
dispatches about the day-to-day
events of the Big Four meetings
which start March 10. The as
sumption is that such dispatches
will not even be subjected to a
screening censorship to make
sure they are not on topics ex
traneous to the conference.
It still is not clear, however,
whether radio correspondents
will be permitted to make voice
broadcasts from the Russian
capital.
The Soviet decision on press
censorship was transmitted to
the U. S. government in fulfill
ment of the agreement made be
tween retiring Secretary of
State James F. Byrnes and
Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov at the last Big Four
meeting in New York.
At" that meeting Molotov

they had been allowed to do in

Bills for Taxing
Amusements
Offered in House
Levies on Devices As
Places of
By Paul W. Harvey, Jr.
Measures to tax amusement
devices and admissions to thea
ters, athletic events, dance halls
and other places of entertain
ment were rcadv for introduc
tion in the state house of repre
sentatives today.
Reps. Giles L. French. Moro,
and Henry Semon, Klamath
Falls, are introducing the amuse
ment device tax, endorsed by
the state tax study commission,
which would levy a 30 per cent
tax on gross revenues from de
vices in which there Is an ele
ment of chance: such as illegal
slot machines and punchboards.
The tax on devices which have
an element of skill, such as pin
ball and iron claw games, would
be 10 per cent of the gross reve
nue.
Duplicates Federal Tax
Rep. Joseph E. Harvey, Port
land leader in the old age pen
sion movement, said the admis
sions tax would duplicate the
20 per cent federal admissions
tax, and that the revenues would
be used for pensions.
French said the amusement
device tax might have the effect
of driving out slot machines by
making it too expensive to oper
ate them.
Owners of all amusement de
vices would have to keep books.
If they failed to do so, they
would have to accept the tax
commission's estimate of the
amount of tax due. Then, if they
failed to pay the tax, the state
could get a lien on all the own
er's property. The records of
the tax commission would be
confidential.
Apnlies to Clubs
The bill would apply to clubs
as well as to individual opera
tors, all of whom would have to
make bi-monthly reports.
The principle of Harvey's ad
missions tax bill also has the en
dorsement of the tax study com
mission. It would apply also to
restaurants which provide en
tertainment, pool halls, bowling
alleys, race tracks and carnivals.
Harvey said he hoped the
measure would raise enough
money so that old age pension
appropriations would no longer
have to depend on liquor rev
enues. ... ....
Herriot Heads
France's Diet
Paris, Jan. 21 VP) France's
national assembly confirmed
Paul Ramadier, socialist, by a
vote of 577 tot 10 tonight as pre
mier in the first government of
the fourth French republic.
Radical-Socialist Leader Ed
ouard Herriot, 74, was elected
president of the assembly.
Herriot, who was unopposed
headed the old chamber of depu
ties from 1836-1942. He is in
his 42nd year as mayor of Lyon,
France's third largest city.
A protege of Aristide Briand,
Herriot was three times premier
of France before the war. He
succeeds Vincent Auriol, recent

Before the voting began, the
legislature heard a message read
from Auriol calling upon France,
to "maintain and develop her al
liances" and to insist upon "just
reparations and a full security"
from Germany.
Needing 310 voles for the ab
solute majority, Herriot received
428.
His election preceded the ap

Farrell Seeks
$1 Million More
For State Police
Would Double Personnel
To Provide for Additional
Highway Patrol
By James D. Olson
Doubling of the state police
personnel, to provide more ade
quate patrol of state highways,
the cost to be financed through
allocation of an additional $1,
000,000 for the next two years
from state gas tax funds to the
state police department, was
recommended this morning by
Secretary of State Farrell to the
joint ways and means com
mittee.
The 1947-48 budget now con
tains $901,055 transfer of state
highway funds to the police
fund but this amount Mr. Far
rell declared inadequate to meet
the task of preventing accidents
on the state highways.
He told the ways and means
committee, in its second full
membership meeting of thfj ses
sion, that the traffic safety pro
gram was divided into three
sections, engineering, enforce
ment and education.
Highway Safety
The highway department has
done a fine job on engineering
for traffic safety," said Farrell,
"and there is little room for im
provement. The educational
program can be carried too far,
in my opinion, but I believe that
the motor vehicle department is
carrying on an effective educa
tional program and keeping
within proper bounds.
"However, our weakest link
in the chain is in enforcement.
The state police department is
doing an excellent job with the
material it has to do it with but
is in sore need of added per
sonnel." Gas Tax Revenue
Attention of the committee
was called to the increase in gas
tax revenue. Mr. Farrell stated
that in 1941 gas tax receipts to
taled $12,867,000 while in the 11
months of 1946 the receipts grew
to $17,336,279.28 with an esti
mate of another million dollars
to be derived from gas tax in
December, 1946.
"You will see that the esti
mates of revenue from gas tax
in the budget for the next two
years is 33 million dollars," said
Farrell, "but I predict that this
figure will reach $36 million. .
"The gas tax comes from the
highways and it should go back
lo the protection of lives on the
highways," he said. "I have not
consulted the highway depart
ment and officials of that de
partment should be consulted,
but it is my firm opinion that
the additional million dollars
should be given to the state po
lice for placing more patrolmen
on the highways."
Institution Budgets
Mr. Farrell also discussed the
budgets of state institutions and
told the committee that these
budgets, higher than ever be
fore, contained salary increases
resulting from the requirements
of the civil service law passed at
the 1945 legislative session.
You will find that for the
first time in the history of the
state you have intelligent budg
ets from the state institution
heads," he said. "You all know
that the facilities at the state
institutions arc crowded and
must be increased.
"I beseach you members of
Ihe ways and means committee
do not sharpen your pencils too
much on these budgets," he said.
