Teen-age Vote GrOWs Up In South With Politics

voting, the CT influence in politics has been most marked in the South This also might be called part ot the youth movement.
 Scrutinize the results of the re- cent primaries in the Democratic one -party South and you'll find some important offices filled by ex- GIS who are well on this side of 4O
 Georgia has the youngest con- greSsman, 30-year-old w. M. (Don) Wheeler. Another congressman in Georgia, Prince Preston, is just 37 Both are veterans.
 Other Youths
 Alabama chose a 34-year old vet eran, Laurie c. Battle of Birnning- ham, in a congressional race. A 31- year-old Congressional medal ot honor winner, Nathan Gordon, was elected lieutenant governor of Ar kansas.
 A 32-year-old wartime marine of ficer, George Snathers, was elected to Congress from Florida. Another veteran, Joe EvinS, 36, was elected to Congress in Tennessee.
 And so on. There is little doubt that it's the day of youth in the South'S politics.

World Is Getting No Better, Fast Walker

"The world never before has witt messed such universal disaster as we suffered in the Second World War" stated the Rev. John c. Walker, Second Congregational Church pastor, yesterday morning in his sermon, entitled, Looking Three Ways"
 Dr. Walker said in part: t
 Ut is pointed out by many in these days that we live in time of unprecedented crisis and tragedy. The homespun philosopher who sits on the cracker barrel in the gen. eral store at the crossroads may not use the same staccato delivery or the same sonorous phrases as the radio commentator but the import of much that they say is the same: the world is getting no better, fast! Many momentous discoveries have been made in the past but I do not believe that there has ever been anything that would compare with the release of atomic energy and the manufacture of the atomic bomb. We have entered new era and the far ranging consequences of the release of that first atomic bomb will be felt through all the millennium to come.
 Changes Inevitable
 '"The end of the world, the literal end of the physical world, is nc longer regarded as merely an apo calyptic dream. It is conceivable that someone might set up a chain reaction, that would mean the end of all things on this mortal sphere, all things material. Please don't misunderstood me; I'm not predict ing the end of the world! I am simply Saying that it is no longer unimaginable, no longer incredible And in so far as social, economic, political and international affairs on the face of the globe are con- cerned, we have every reason to believe that the most revolutionary changes are not only possible; they are inevitable.
 With our kind of a world, living in time like the present, can the Church of Jesus Christ bring cour- age and reinsurance to men? Have we a gospel that will answer our needs in such times as these? Can we quiet our fears that the church might go "the way of all flesh?" We can answer such questions con- fidently and categorically, "Yes"

'ConoI Line TrockOpened To Rail Fans
 Woterburions
 Among Those
 On Special Run

The New Haven to Northampton Canal Line" excursion pulled into New Haven last night at $40 after safe run from Northampton, Mass with 570 people aboard.
 Engineer was Jack Teator, New Haven. During the run State Sem ator Edward F. Egan aided in pilot ing the engine.

Kelley, New Haven and Roger Berrup, Warehouse Point, New Haven. The two collected the tickets, punched them, and then returned them to the passengers as souvenirs. The passengers were made up mostly of rabid railway fans.
 Two hundred persons were turned away at the New Haven Station yesterday Fans came from as far away as Washington, D. C., Chicago, Baltimore and Brooklyn.
 A stop was made for lunch at Northampton. After that the train journey over rails last used for pas senger service in 1918, the track from Northampton to Williams burg.
 At the start of the trip the fans were quiet. But as time went on their excitement got the better of them and soon they were swarming over the two engines. One 1910 model GA 800, the other assisting Diesel yard engine.
 The end of the trip saw 8 tired but very happy crowd of railroad fans who had had day that would be remembered and rehashed for all time to come.
 Those from Waterbury and vici- nifty, who made the trip beside Sen. and Mrs. Egan, were Atty. Edward Sweeney, candidate for state sena- tor from the 18th district; Carlisle |B. Futile, Naugatuck, Peter Peugeot, Crystal Ter, Waterbury, Warren Holt, Rowland St., Oakville, a mem Der of the Waterbury Railroad Club, Fred Stone, 63 Middlefield Avenue, Waterbury, a retired CR.8zL. trolley motorman, Jane Thurston, Nauga- tuck and Francis J. Dwyer, Water bury.

BY HENRY LESEsNE

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 14-(NEA) The teen-age vote is growing up as political issue in the Southeast.
 It started in Georgia, where Gov. Ellis Arnall, elected governor at 35, spearheaded constitutional amend ment allowing 18-year-olds to vote. It spread to South Carolina this summer when teen-agerS were well comed at the polls for the Demo- cratic primaries, which are South Carolina's actual election.
 And now Governor Nominate James E. (Big Jim) Folsom has promised that it will be the pur- pose of his administration to per- init 18-year-olds to vote in Alabama.
 Converted by Arnall
 Big Jim campaigned on pledges of constitutional reform and repeal of the poll tax, but he became a convert to the idea of 18-year-old voting after visiting Gov. Arnall re- tcently and discussing governmental reform.
 Folsom, incidentally, will become the youngest governor in the United States when he takes office. Arnall who hitherto hefd the distinction, was prevented from running agaln by a constitutional ban against a second term.
 The decision to permit teen-agers to vote came too late in South Ca rolina, in fact, for it to have much effect on the summer primaries.
 The youth vote, however, was a considerable factor in Georgia's primary. There is no way of know ing exactly, but a conservative es- innate is that 100000 teen-agers voted in Georgia.
 CAMPUS POLITICS
 This was about a third Of the normal Georgia vote, but a serv- enth of the vote this year, when registration reached unprecedented heights as the result of a large Ne gro vote.
 Teen-aged voting brought quite a politcial atmosphere to campus es of Georgia colleges. Students campaigned vigorously for their candidates, with speeches, posters, and even leaflets dropped from air. planes.
 Straw votes came often and charges and counter -charges flew between the student organizations But what was ta1e result?
 The results are questionable. The considerable bloc of Negro teen-age votes went naturally to 37-year-old James V. Carmichael, who was Ar nall-bached, and who won the popu- lar vote despite the fact that Gene Talmadge won the unit vote and the nomination.
 Favored Carmichael
 All pre-primary polls showed the college boys and girls heavily in fla vor of the Carmichael. But, as Taa- madge sagely remarked in a post primary interview, good many Georgia boys and girls must have voted just as their daddieS did.
 Just as in the case of 18-year-

Canada Passes Alaska In Mining Production

SPOKANE, Wash. P)-Lower- ed mining production in Alaska was contrasted with a boom" in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory of Canada in addresses before the 52nd annual convention of the Northwest Mining associa- tion today.
 Frank w. Woodside, Vancouver, B. C., manager of the British Co., lumbia and Yukon Chamber of Mines, said in an address that that long-idle mining camps in the two areas will surge into pro- duction again next year are that large numbers of prospecting par ties will go into isolated areas to search for new deposits.
 Citing a number of cases in which new companies are having success with old workings or where the original companies are turning out good production WoodSide said the two areas will produce an estimated S70,250,000 worth of ore by the end of the year.
 Another speaker, Ernest N. Pat ty, president of AlluVial Colds, Inc, Fairbanks, Alaska, said on the other hand that Alaska should report mineral production of $50,000,000 to S1O0,0OO,00O annu- ally but this has been a bad year for mining in Alaska and the to- tai production will not be more than $1O,O0O,0O0."
 Patty blamed the situation on a squeeze between the rising cost of labor and materials and the fixed price of gold, S35 an ounce. He urged following the lead of Can ada in two respects.
 He said now was a strategic time to work for a bill such as is now in effect in Canada-the new mines act which exempts all new mines from Dominion taxes dur ing the first three years of pro- duction.
 He also advised adoption of the proSpector's grubstake plan which he said is working out well in British Columbia.
 Many of the large Canadian mining companies actually em- ploy prospectors as such - put them into the field and give them a cut on anything worthwhile that they discover"
 Patty said mo one can deny that Alaska is the most favorable area in the United States for the dis covery of new mines but we just aren't getting the prospectors into the hills" He recommended that they be subsidized by the Terri tory of Alaska or the federal gov ernment when the next unemploy- ment sets in.

JERUSALEM, CHJ - Bri ti s h bombers dropped five tons of food and supplies today to 800 Jews shipwrecked on Syrina Island, near the Dodecanese, while en- route to Palestine.
 The British destroyers Chevron and minesWeeper were cutting through the Mediterranean towad the lonely island, 90 miles north west of Rhodes. Four Halifax planes carried the relief supplies to the Jews through weather one veteran pilot described as the worst I ever saw in the Mediter- ranean."
 The materials dropped by the planes were supplied by the Jew ish agency and hauled to the air port last night by agency trucks.
 Flight It. Allen Ross, com mander of the expedition. said the Jews were sheltered in a valley on the barren island. Their ship was believed to have foundered in high seas Saturday during an attempt ed dash for Palestine. Bad weather prevented flying yesterday.

Sale Of Big Utah Plant

BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Signing OF a sale contract and
the tender of 100000 check by
United States Steel Corp. appeared
today as the only remaining for
malities in sale Of. the Governments
largest single surplus industrial
plant, the Geneva (Utah) Steel
Works.
The Justice Department yester-
day approved the sale by War As
sets Administration, which had &C
cepted United States Steel's bid of
$40 .000,0 cash for the plant and
81 5000 for the inventories.
Geneva, built at a cost of nearly
5000 100000 to produce battleship
steel and structural forms, may not
be in full peacetime production for
Is months or 2 years. United States
Steel is bound to spend $4,000, 900
to convert the plant for production
of $4,000 tons of hot rolled coils
annually. The corporation agreed
to pay the $4,000, 900 balance in
two years.

Gregory, war assets administrator.
Attorney General Clark said he did
not view the sale as violation
Of the antitrust laws but reserved
the right to review any other acts
or practices of the corporation. Mr..
Clark said:
This advice Gas to the legality
OF the sale) does not extend to the
conduct or the practices of the
United States Steel Corp. in its use
OF the property, nor do I express
herein an opinion concerning the
legality or llegality of any acts or
practices in which the United States

have engaged or may hereafter en-
gage, either alone or with others.
MY approval is subject to the
further express condition that it

or before any court or administra-
tive agency having Jurisdiction, re-
garding the legal status of any pric-
ing policy followed by Unitesd States

airy companies, either alone or with
others"

that the Colorado bid would not
be considered by WAA until its

Soviet Writer Scores u. S.
For Demands on Italy

MOSCOW, June ID (P).-A Tass
correspondent covering the meeting
of the Big -Four Foreign Ministers
In Paris today said the United States,
which often in the past said it
wanted no reparations from Italy,
now has joined Britain in heavy de-
mands on the Italian nation.
The Soviet Unions claims, the
Russian news agency's writer said,
were extremely modest"
The correspondent said the Soviet
Union believed in the principle Of
partial, not full compensation, and
thus asked scarcely one-twentieth
compensation" for actual damage in
flicted by Italian troops on the
Soviet Union.
THE Soviet side, in forwarding
reparation claims" the dispatch
said, took into consideration Italian
participation as co-belligerent in
the struggle against Germany dur
ing the wars last stages"
One reason Italian economy was
weakened. the Tass writer con-
tinued, was because during the first
period of Allied occupation of Italy
the military government, hiding be-
hind military necessity. destroyed
Italian enterprises, exported equip
ment and requisitioned stores" in
many cases merely to cripple the
future competition of Italian firms
in the world market.
In Trud, Soviet Journalist Yuri
Zhukov, also writing from Paris,
said the plan for liberalization of
Germany bears the threat of new
war"
The liberalization plan foresees in
the Western zone of Germany the
preservation of reaction which
would be able to oppose itself to
the central democratic govern
ment in Berlin, formation of which
is provided for in the Potsdam de-
cisions," Zhukov said.
1.-The domination of reactionary
forces in. the so-called autonomous
states would create a new state for
nation with the capital in Stuttgart
and military base in the Ruhr."
