Bruising Political Fight Shaping
Atlanta (U.PJ One of the
Democratic party'i most bruis
ing political fights of 1956 is
shaping up in Georgia between
the veteran Sen. Walter F.
George and former Gov. Her
man Talmadge.
One day this week, Talmadge,
43, is expected to announce pub
licly that he will run against the
78-year-old chairman of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
in the Sept. 12 primary. Dem
ocratic nomination is tantamount
to election in Georgia.
Old Gene's son, who got his
start in politics by locking retir
ing Gov. Ellis Arnall out of of
fice and taking over nine years
ago, will be returning to the
political wars after 16-month
layoff,
George, in the twilight of a
public career that spans 40 years
and six Senate terms, is being
thrust into a slugging match
against an adversary of prdven
shrewdness and skill.
George Standi on Record
The way things appear now,
the big campaign issues will be
states' rights, foreign aid, con
stitutional government and
George's record. Although Talm
adge is an outspoken segrega
tionist, he dosen't plan to "yell
nigger all summer, his asso
ciates say. That might change
as the campaign warms up,

of last year's summit conference
and an outstanding congressional
figure on international affairs
and finance is ready to stand
or fall on his record.
Talmadge's campaign strategy
will be a denunciation of what
he considers a trend toward fed
eral encroachment on states'
rights and a blast at the foreign
.aid "giveaways."
What about this man Talm
adge who has been dreaming for
years of going to the Senate?
He was known as a rather
"wild one" in his youth at the
University of Georgia and later
as a young lawyer and World
War II Navy officer. But the
years have tended to sober and
settle him and he is looked upon
with respect by many who had
none for his late father.
Talmadge has some of the
ways of his father and looks
much like him, although he
doesn't have the gaunt face and
spare frame of old Gene. Like
his father, he has a burning
hatred for those who attempt to
overturn Georgia's racial seg
regation. He is a bit self-conscious about
carrying on some of the old Tal
madge trademarks. His voice has
lost the buzz-saw rasp of the
old man's and he refuses to be
maneuvered into uncomplimen
tary picture angles.
"Every time they take my pic
ture they want to get my hair
down over my face and. a half
inch of cigar rammed in my
mouth," he says.
All Scales Can Be
Fixed, Official Says
Columbus, O. (U.R) There
isn't a scale made that can't be
"fixed," if somebody wants to
cheat, according to Russell D.
Webster, manager of the Colum
bus office of the Toledo Scale
Co.
A scale being "light" one third
of an ounce either way can make
a tremendous difference over a
year's time, he pointed out.
In a year's time, the loss or
gain could amount to more than
a ton. A ton of hamburger at,
say, 50 cents a pound would
amount to $1,000.
A state scale sealer says:
"You can seal the scales or
pump but you can't seal the
operator."
Famed Appian Way
May Be Retired
Rome U.R) The famed Ap
pian Way, over which every
thing from Roman legions to
American jeeps have traveled,
may soon be retired after 2,268
years of service.
The threat to the proud high
way comes not so much from its
age it is still less bumpy than
many newer roads but from
archeologists who want to ex
plore the secrets of its construc
tion.
For the past year and a half,
a long segment of the road has
been closed to accommodate the
diggers. ' Today reports have
spread that the government does
not plan to put that part of the
road back into use at all, and
many Romans are already pro
testing. It's still possible, how
ever, to drive past Gina Lollo
brigida's pink villa on the an
cient way.
Romans probably are even
more enthusiastic about the road
today than they were when it
was built in 312 B.C. by an en
gineer named Appuus Claudius
Caecus.
The Romans of that day had
good reason to be pleased, Ap
pius' superhighway ran straight
as an arrow toward the rich
Greek cities of Southern Italy,
which small but ambitious Rome
coveted. Hardly was the last
stone laid before Roman legions
were marching south to conquer
the Greek cities, and carts soon
were rumbling back over the Via
Appia with the spoils. -Upstart
Rome was on the way to becom
ing a great power.
Any threat to the road is likely
to provoke a hot controversy.
Only two years ago, the people
of Rome got the government to
stop the building of brilliant new
villas along the road on the
grounds the buildings were un
worthy of the Via Appia.
Travelers along the road today
see a wealth of ancient ruins,
insluding tombs, temples and
viaducts. They may also- see the
church built on the legendary
spot where Peter had his vision
of Christ.

BLOOD-STAINED EVIDENCE The ouster by the United
States of two members of the Soviet delegation to the
United Nations, accusing them of "objectionable and im
proper" conduct in the case of five Russian seamen who
left asylum in this country to return to Russia, came hard
on the heels of testimony by the sailors' landlords before
the Senate Internal Security subcommittee in Washington.
The couple, Mr. and Mrs. Wassilli Kowalew, displayed a
blood-stained shirt (above) worn by one of the sailors the
night he disappeared, and told the subcommittee the sea
men were visited by two Russian-speaking strangers the
night before they vanished.
