(International Soundphoto) Sen. 'George's Opposition In 1956 Seen as Bad Hews By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Walter F. Georee of Georgia, who came to the Senate when the League of Wations ana p r o h i b ition were big is- u s, has drawn his toughest oppo sition in next year's election and that's bad news for the Eisen hower admin icle C. Wilson istration. It was 33 years ago that George began a span of service which finds him now the senior senator, loaded with honors and burdened with great political power. He battled the Roosevelt and Truman administrations on many a domestic isue. FDR campaigned Georgia in 1938 to beat George in the Democratic primary, but failed. But the sen ator gets along fine with the Eisenhower administration on most things. Political Fireball Down home in Georgia a 41-year-old political fireball is ablaze with zeal to relieve the senior senator from his chores. And young Herman Talmadge may do it, too, if the contest actually takes place next year. The hushed word around Wash ington, however, is that the top political elements which would be involved in a George-Tal-madge contest may have little stomach for it that the with drawal of one man or the other from the race might come about. Walter George is 76 years old. Talmadge is the son of old. Gene who used to raise the red Geor gia dust with his mighty politi cal bellows. And the son has the old man's talents, refined some what, plus a few of his own. Her man was nine years old when George came in 1922 to a Senate distinguished by such as Borah, Hiram W. Johnson, the elder La Follette, the elder Lodge. George is considerably more valuable to President Eisen j hower than most more likely most-Republican members of the Senate. He's a conservative Southerner. It was George who licked Speaker Sam Rayburn's $20-per-head income tax cut when it finally reached the Sen ate, a reverse which consider ably shook the Democratic left wing. Most Infueniial Senator - He is a former finance com mittee chairman and presides now over the committee on for eign relations where his influ ence in and out of the adminis tration and in both major parties is vastly effective. George of Georgia is judged by many per sons as far and away the most influential member of the Senate. Talmadge, like his father, has been governor of his state. The young man was a good one, too. Like his dad he plows a deep and wide furrow in the back country communities which are more powerful in Georgia than in any other state. Georgians elect their statewide officials by county units. A candidate may poll 10,000 or more votes above his onDonent and yet lose a j Georgia election. If the young challenger beats the old champ in 1956, the new Democratic chairman of the for eign relations committee would be Theodore Francis Green of Rhode Island ,the spryest and richest 87-year-old in town. Loss of Air Control To Russians Rejected By Ike at Conference Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower today rejected the notion that this country has lost control of the air to Soviet Russia. He conceded at his news con ference that there have been periodic reports showing that Russian scientific and technical developments exceeded previous predictions. But the President said it is a mistake to think that this coun try has lost in a twinkling all of the advantage inherent in - its vast technical development pro gram. Mr. Eisenhower was told that Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) wants to know whether this country has "lost control of the air" to Russia. Symington, sup ported by Sen. Richard B. Rus sell (D-Ga.) has called for a Youth Blames 'Urge' For" Slaying of Boy With Hatchet, Knife Oakland, Calif. (U.R) A 14-year-old boy explained today he killed a child half his age with a hatchet and a knife because "I get an urge like that once in a while." Victim of the assault was Stan ley R. Frank Jr., 7 - year - old son of an Oakland lithographer. The child's father and mother collapsed on learning that their son had been killed. Oakland police identified the youth, who they held for ques tioning, as David Drew of Oak land. Hit Him 'Accidentally' Officers said the 14-year-old trussed up young Stanley, struck him "accidentally" with a hat chet in an attempt to scare him into going home for dinner and later stabbed him four times with a knife as he lay on the ground screaming. The youth told police that he was helping Stanley and an 8-year-old companion build a fort in a ravine about two blocks from the Frank home in a com fortable residential neighbor hood. When it began to grow late, the 8-year-old boy went to his home, but Stanley refused to leave, despite the teenager's or ders. The youth said he tied Stan ley's wrists with a rope. Stanley sat down under a broken tree. The youth said he then struck at the trunk of the tree in an at tempt to scare Stanley. The boy suddenly straightened up and the ax blade smashed into his head. The child fell to the ground screaming, and the youth said he then stabbed him "three or four times" in the back with a hunting knife. Father Led To Body Meanwhile, Stanley's father had begun searching for the boy when he failed to come home for dinner. He ran across the youth, who helped in the search. After three or four false leads, he "ac cidentally", led the father to Stanley's body. Frank picked up the body and started for home when a passing motorist, Fred Jenner, stopped and drove them to Kaiser Me morial Hospital. Stanley was dead on arrival. When police asked him why he had stabbed Stanley with the knife, the youth replied: "I don't know. I get an urge like that once in a while." LEGISLATORS READY Oklahoma City (U.R) No uranium has been found in com mercial quantities in Oklahoma yet but state legislators are ready for the possibility. They passed a bill yesterday imposing a five per cent gross production tax on any uranium that may h mined in the state. congressional investigation to de termine the facts. Mr. Eisenhower said Syming ton's statement on control of the air was a generalized one, be cause such control is a relative thing and can be achieved in a specific area by anyone in a certain amount of air power, even against general superiority. For example, the President said the Germans achieved tem porary control of the air as late as January, 1945, but for a rela tively brief period. He said today's Air Force is scientific in character and that, in development of military air craft, there has to be an occa sional decision to stop and pro duce one specific type of plane as the best for the time being. Such a decision, Mr. Eisenhow er said, dictated construction of the B36 in the late 1940s al though the government knew a more effective jet transcontinen tal bomber was coming along. He said the B36 was good in its day but is now being eased out of the picture in favor of the jet B52 bomber and its successors. The Pentagon disclosed last week that the Russians had shown off a big jet bomber, the T37, comparable to the B52, in flights over Moscow.
