The Sunday after my arrival Mr..

Etowah. In Athens, Preacher Hamp-
ton talked on the message of the

about God than the people Of the
Old Testament-but that's why
Christ came on earth; to teach us
about God" Bernie is not a funda-

Want knowledge, Power.
He spoke of the things men and
women want today - knowledge.
They want to read the best sellers,
but not the biggest seller-the Bible.
They want power
Some men will sell their souls
for power. A man as much as con-
fessed to me last week that he had
done that"
And then Preacher Hampton quot

Peron Regime Takes
Meat Sale Monopoly
BY the Associoisd Press

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Aug
3l.-The Peron government has
established itself by decree as the
sole sales agent for the $3.50, 600, 900
annual meat export business.
The decree, issued Tuesday, estab-
fishes prices the government will nav
to foreign-owned packing plants for
export meat. Previously the meat
had been sold by the packing plants
through their New York agents all
over the world. The New York fac
tors were eliminated by the decree.
A leading packer, who may not
be quoted by name, said the pack
ing companies were completely in
ignorance over how the government
proposed to conduct foreign sales.
1t was learned that the govern
ment had established an Argentine
foreign trade institute" as its SELL
ing agent and its officials already
were discussing the world wide SELL
ing job ahead.
Refrigerator ships in harbor were
being loaded under special license
to prevent any interruption in ex-
ports. Meat is Argentina's leading
export.
The situation was complicated by
the fact that the British contract to
buy all Argentina's export meat will
expire at midnight tomorrow. No
renewal has been made because of
differences over prices.

work or go home"
Bernie's little talk had worked.
The vandalism stopped and the
crowd scattered.
Something more would have to
be done, everybody realized. Author
ity had fled the town. It was decided
to return the government to the
people assembled in mass meeting
and to ask authority from the
people to police the community.
1t was agreed at the curbstone
conference that the two groups
which should be asked to supply
leaders were the Ministers Associa-
ton and the Evangelical Business
mems Association. Bernie, relatively
a newcomer in Athens, went looking
for the ministers of the other IS
churches. Not one of them was in
town-ilot that they had been
scared out of Athens but it was a
midsummer Friday, some were on
vacation and some had business
elsewhere.
There was sound truck in town
that had been used, not in the cleo
ton, but in an evangelical campaign
It was sent rolling through Athens

Eisenhower Reported
Studying Enlargement
|0f Infantry Division
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

Army planners hope to convert the
basic infantry division into larger,
harder-h hitting unit with its own
tanks and antiaircraft guns, it was
disclosed today.
The unofi1cial Army and Navy
Register reported that final recon-
mendations, drafted after two years
study, were before Gen. Eisenhower,
the Chief of Staff. Official sources
indicated privately they called for:
l. Increasing the division size from
14.037 to 1900 officers and men.
2. Adding battalion each of tanks
ana antiaircraft artillery and build
ing up the field artillery battalions
with "a additional los millimeter and
l55 millimeter guns.
8. Reforming the present three
regiments into combat teams, each
commanded by brigadier general.
Ihese teams would include an in
fantry regiment, field artillery bat
talon and a company each of tanks
and heavy mortars.
4. Reducing the infantry SQUAD
from IL to nine men.
Putting a brigadier in command OF
each of the three combat teams
would increase the number of gen.
erals per division from three to six.
Currently the division commander is
a major general, the assistant COM
mander and artillery commander
are brigadiers.
Enlarging the infantry division
would reverse the trend between
World Wars I and II. The old
square" division of four regiments
and 10000 men was streamlined be-
lore Pearl Harbor into the existing
triangular" division of three reg
iments and half as many soldiers.

the sheriff ELECT. to I'LL out Pat
Mansflelds term-that Is, the re-
mainder Of August. This enabled
the appointment OF Otto Kennedy
as chief deputy. Twenty one-year-
old Harry johnson, jr, was made
coroner.
Knox Henry and the rest of the
ticket had been declared the electees
on the basis of six of the county's
II ballot boxes. The other six were
thrown out as having been tempered
with. The vote was about three
to one in the untampered boxes, but
they were country boxes in which
relatively few citizens had voted.
The three boxes in Athens could
easily have erased that lead. No
one will ever know what the vote
was in that McMinn County election.
The ballots in the Jail were scat
tered all over in the fighting.
That afternoon the committee met
with the aldermen of the city. It
was suggested to the aldermen that
the police force of five be fired.
They had supported the sheriff and
his deputies in the fight. In that,
1t might we'll be held they were
doing their duty. The sheriff and
his men were authorized to bear
arms-the GIs were not. The al
dermen demurred a little. But it
was pressed on them as necessary
for peace in the future. The police
force was fired.
Converts George Woods.
Bernie made little speech in
surrendering his powers and in
cidentally made convert. Paul
Cantrell's man George Woods,
speaker of the Tennessee House of
representatives; who was present as
an election official, became al
Christian"
He talked to Bernie a few nights
later at the house of a mutual
friend and said he was bothered
by something. His two daughters
wanted him to 60 to Sunday school
with them and he didn't want to
go. That bothered him. He wanted
to know whether he should 70 to
church now or should wait.
Il told him." said the minister
that he would have to face the fact
that every one would say he was
trying to win his way back into
the good graces Of the community
and perhaps to return to politics.

nomination to succeed himself as
State Representative But / told
him ! thought he ought to go to

A silver racer flashed past the
finish line about is feet ahead Of its
nearest competitor in the final heat
of the fourth annual Soap Box
Derby for colored boys at Douglass
Dwellings, 1000 Alabama avenue
Sc. yesterday afternoon.
While the losing contestants
skidded to stop, 15-year-old irving
Crawley sped onward down Stanton
torrance, turned into Alabama ave-
nue. and disappeared from sight.
Minutes later, Irving pulled his
racer back toward the course to
receive the winners award. Beaten
in his first heat because he mis-
judged the finish line and applied
the brakes too soon, he told the
judges he wasn't taking any more
chances.
Il missed 1t last time, and this
time I wasn't even planning on
stopping" he explained.
Streamlined Vehicle.
The winner, who lives at 5214
Ames street NE, was driving the
same car he used last month in the
Soap Box Derby sponsored by the
Evening Star. He said he was
beaten six inches in the fastest
heat of the day" in that event.
Irving related that he had done
most OF the work of building the
racer himself with some help from
friends. A streamlined vehicle, it
appeared heavier than most of the
entries, factor which, according to
Irving, made 1t slow at the start but
very fast when it picked up speed.
George Ware. IA, who nosed Irving
out In their first encounter, could
do no better than third in the final
race, which was open to the first two
finishers in each of a series of
elimination contests. Walter Faun-
leroy, IA, placed second. BY finish
ing second in his first heat, Crawley
had remained eligible for the final

Every Kind Of Weapon
Must Be Used in US.
Defense, Royal Says

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 3l.-Under-
secretary of War Kenneth c. Royal
declared last night that the United
States must be prepared to use
In the defense Of our Nation or in
the assertion of international rights
ANY weapon which at the time Of
It's use is not outlawed by an inter-
national convention"
Our weapons must be Of all
kinds-and I mean all kinds" Mr..
Royal said In q speech delivered
before the 58th annual national en-
campment Of the Army and Navy
Union.
"The potential warlike strength
Of America is the greatest guaran-
tee Of tranquility among the ma
lions Of the world" Mr.. Royal
stated. IF we are prepared. We
have an added strength in our de-
sire for peace and in our Demon

nations.
There is no tendency-either
among nations or among men-to
pick fight with one who is big and

man will defend himself or defend
his friends against bully, but there
are few men indeed who have even
an inclination to slap q peaceful

have continuous research and de-
velopment both in offense and de-
fense." A stockpile Of critical ma
terials. and IAN overall plan not

our whole Nation can be modified

They were waiting for Pat Mans
fields return. Telephone calls from
other cities offered to rush aid to
Athens. The situation seemed more
explosive than that in which the
original riot started.
Bernie Saves Situation.
Bernie Hampton arrived and
made another talk. He told them
that the report of the Mansfield
invasion" had been checked and
found without foundation. Then
he made a suggestion that relieved
the situation. He told them their
committee was encouraged by the
promptness, numbers and equip
ment with which they had an
swered the call to arms and asked
them to file into the courthouse
and give their name, address, tele-
phone and type Of gun to a clerk
50 the committee would know the
force it had on hand to meet an
emergency. He made them feel
that they had done something help
full in turning out and registering
their guns-the more reason to go
home.
Sunday was quiet as usual in
Athens. There is something peace
