Hurley Says us. Has Worst
Record Of Appedsement
BY the Associoted Press

SANTA FE, N. Mex, Aug. 81
Maj. Gen. Patrick j. Hurley, former
Ambassador to China, declared to-
day that there never has been a
more dismal, cowardly record of ap-
peasement made by any nation than
that made by America since Yalta. -
Gen. Hurley made the assertion
in commenting on statement made
in Washington last night by Sena-
tor Hatch, Democrat, of New Mex
leo that "appeasement has no place
in our scheme of affairs" and that
the United States must stand up"
for the things she believes in.
There has been lot of shadow
boxing and quibbling in Paris and
elsewhere about diplomatic proceed
ure and the semblance of power"
Gen. Hurley said, but the substance
of power in Europe and in Asia has
already been surrendered to Russia
in a vain appeasement effort with
the assistance of all the leftists in
the American diplomatic service"
Gen. Hurley is the Republican
nominee opposing the bid of Sena-
tor Chavez, Democrat, of New Mex
leo for reelection.

ers are antiunion.

Buttram, is "a.
Jim would not like that term but
that is the position he is in. When
Il came upon him in the grocery he
was busy on the telephone at the
bread counter arranging the selec-
tion of a man to run for State
senator, and another to represent
McMinn in the lower house of the
general assembly. That was one
of the unexpected responsibilities
that came from their political vic
tory. The candidates nominated
for those seats by the machine
withdrew.
Plan Government Changes.
The men they send to Nashville
will introduce legislation to change
the structure of Government in
McMinn County. The Good
Government League is drawing up
a program. The league is against
the poll tax but realizes that moth
ing can be done about that unless
the State constitution is changed
or the Supreme Court reverses the
Tennessee Supreme Court decision
which held unconstitutional a poll
tax repeal bill passed by the Ten
nessee legislature three years ago.
The league wants a General SEES
sions Court with an elected judge
who must be learned in The law
the phrase the statutes use for a
lawyer. This court will take the
police magistrate work and small
civil suits from the justices of the
| peace, who are not lawyers. The
peace justices are constitutional Of
flcers but the judges of the Ten
nessee Supreme Court. lawyers all,
have held that their civil suits may
be limited in counties with a gen.
eral sessions Court to those for not
more than 81 and their criminal
jurisdiction limited to regulations
concerning rabid dogs
The league wants the sheriff paid
salary of S. 900 year and no fees.
1t wants limited number of SAL
aired deputies and limitation on the
| sherlff's power to deputize citizens
| for special SituationS-such as cleo
tons. And the leagues governing
committee is now discussing wheth-
er to recommend a commission or
county manager form of govern
ment. With their own men at Nash
vile and the magic term CT
they shave an excellent chance of
getting what they want.
Attends League Meeting.
I attended the first meeting of
the Good Government League-one
of Is held simultaneously about the
county. This one was in the Ath-
ems high school. The 1,2O0-seat
auditorium had an 300 attendance

u. 5. May Seek 10 Stay
In 8 Panama Bases
BY the Associated Pres.

PANAMA, Panama, Aug. 81
Ambassador Frank T. Hines today
requested a consultation with the
government of Panama for the
purpose Of determining if the exist
ing international situation justifies
the extension of the deadline on
American use of 83 wartime defense
sites in Panama.
The Panama government has de-
clared officially that tomorroW-one
year after the unconditional Japa-
nese surrender was signed aboard
the U. S. S. Missouri-is the date
on which the United States must
vacate the bases. The sites all are
located outside the Canal Zone.
The sites are scattered across the
narrow isthmus and were occupied
by American troops for the defense
Of the Panama Canal shortly after
the war began. Under the terms
of an agreement signed May 10,
1912, both governments agreed that
the bases would be vacated by the
United States one year after the
deflnitive peace covenant ending
the hostilities became effective.
Foreign Minister Ricardo J. Al
faro. told the national assembly re-
Gently that the government held
the Missouri ceremony to be the
date of the definitive peace cove
nant,
The IS defense sites and bases
embrace $1,000 acres and range from
huge landing fields to small search
light stations. More than so other
sites formerly occupied by United
States forces already have reverted
to Panama.

urday night-S60-was good bust
ness for deputy sheriff.
Details Brought to Light.
Fred did not give his pupils all
these details-some of them came
to light after the machine was
driven out of power. But he made
them understand how government
really works when obsolete rules are
used for personal advantage.
After school the boys would stop
IN Jlm's place, drink chocolate milk
shakes and conf1de in one another
their big ideas about what they were
going to do. One idea that used to
come up was that they were going
to clean up politics.
When the boys returned from the
war, Fred was secretary of the
Athens Chamber of Commerce
That kept him neutral in the po-
litical battle waged against the
Cantrell-Mansfield machine by the
CT Nonpartisan League under the
management of Jim Buttram, one
of the boys of the civics class. But
he watched the campaign his boys
made with increasing pride.
On the afternoon of the day that
the political victory was won at
a m. by an explosion of dynamite al
the Jail forcing surrender of the
ballot boxes, Fred Puett stopped ir
the Buttram grocery store. Jim
son of the proprietor, was working
behind the counter.
Jim" he said, you didn't use tc
be so good at civics, but you sure
get an A today"
Talk of Good Government Now.
When I arrived in Athens all the
talk of the GIs was about the
county good government league they
were organizing. 1t came from a
suggestion by CT who remem-
bered Fred's teaching about the
work of the Cincinnati Good Gov
eminent League in passing the CITY,
manager plan and making it func-
ton.
The boys were optimistic about
returning the government to the
people through the league. Every
one was for good government and
the league would have member
ship large enough to have the po-
litical balance of power and so they
were going to have good govern
ment. Some of the younger lead
ers had no realization that. as pub
lie interest Waned, those with &C
tual interest, who wanted a road
improvement that would increase
the value of their property, etc,
would come to the fore. The BOYS
seemed to have no idea as to what
differences would develop in specific
problems of government over ex-
penditure for improvements or econ
omy to prevent tax increases.
The GIs were against violence and
they realized that what they had
done had dangerous potentialities-
for other communities. The danger
at home did not occur to them
Charlie Scott argued for two hours
that the Good Government League
membership be limited to GIs-that
they should show their discharge
papers before they could join. His
argument was that the older group
of citizens had had their chance at
government long enough and they
had made mess of it. Jim But
tram, who is level headed, rather
leaned to the idea. There seemed
to be no realization how closely a
front-line fighters party running the
government would follow the pat
tern of Fascist and Nazi beginnings
Fred Puett managed to talk them
out of it.
Men of Destiny.
The CT leaders feel, with some
reason, that they are men of des-
tiny. Some of them are subject tt

in each Of the meeting places. Fred
Puett's voice came over clearly.
Again" he started, Athens is max
ing history ."
After the radio talks at each
meeting a nominating committee
selected citizens, the number de-
termined by the population of the
community, to serve on the Gov
erning Committee. and the nominal
lions were voted on at the meetings
At Union McMinn, a small commun-
ity. farmer objected to the nmi-
mating committee because there
were no GIs on it. THE GIs fit for

committee was arranged.
In the Athens meeting a list of
10 citizens was submitted and APP
proved. With the exception of
few GIs, one of them a worker in
one of Athens factories. it was a
typical leading citizens committee,
all men, banker. two manufac-
turers. the Ford dealer-the sue
cessful and the prosperous to whom
the Southern community usually
look for guidance. The selections
were approved.
Propose Negro representation.
Then something happened. Joe
Sugar, a tall 22-year-old Gil in the
rear, first shot up his hand, school,
boy fashion-for recognition. then
stood up. His shirt was out at
the waist-that's the way he wears
it. He had a motion to make: The
nominations for the county. COM
munity were very good ones but
let's nominate another committee of
Is to act on Athens city affairs
and let's make it committee of
men and women citizens. An older
man got up and reminded the au-
dience that portion of the popula-
ton was Negro and that it should
be represented. There was applause
from youths and women in the au-
dience.
The chairman asked if there were
any colored persons in the audience
A man and woman in a rear corner
were pointed out.
Twill you colored people stand
up?" he asked.
There was aburst of applause In
approval of their attendance from
the same section of the audience
