an attempt to revive him.
Chest Injuries
Acting Coroner DR.. Fred H.
Coleman said later that he was
of the opinion that Veasey died
almost instantly Of chest injuries
and internal injuries received in
the crash. He said that it did not
appear to be a case of drowning.
When the officers, firemen and
newspapermen arrived on the
scene, the front end of the car
was pointed almost directly
downward into the creek and
was submerged to the wind
shield. The steering wheel, how
ever, was not under the water.
Rescue workers were not sure
that Veasey was alone until the
car was pulled out of the water
at 7:25 p. m. by a wrecker.
Veasey's automobile did not
show much damage on the out
side. The right front tire was
flat, however, and both Patrol
man Sheriff. and Coroner Cole
man said that it might have
blown out or gone flat and pull
ed the car off the road made
slick by intermittent rains and
over the bank.
Jury Impaneled
DR.. Coleman said that he was
not sure whether or not an in
quest into the death would be
conducted. A jury was impanel-
ed, however,, and viewed the
body. Members of the jury were
B, T, Hopkins, Charles Casteen,
c. c. Goodwin, J. H. Holmes,
]. ]. Siegfred and R. E. Heath.
The acting coroner said that
Veasey was apparently on the
way to his home at the time of
the accident. The Gordon road
runs from Wrightsboro to US. II
and Veasey was headed in the
direction of his home.

excuse for price increases. To
that extent responsibility (by
labor must be accepted, but they
have not been the cause of price
increases because they have
never succeeded in attaining a
goal of level price-wage relation
ship"
He cited these factors In the
spiraling cost of living:
Farm prices: To be blamed
largely on speculation IN the
market exchanges-even If the
farmers of the country unanim-
ously agreed to a reduction in
prices so far as they are con-
cerned that reduction would
never reach the American con-
sumner"
Exports Light
Exports: Have increased only
two per cent since 1929 candy
lit stands to reasons that this
two per cent cannot bear any
substantial blame for the in
crease in prices since June, 1946".
Profits: Il contend that to the
extent that profits result in
price increases they cannot be de-
Tended in this particular period
of our national economy"
Corporation managers" he
added, SAY quite properly that
they must set up reserves against
the day when they might be sub
ject to losses. What I object to
is that many of the same people
who contend for that right-to
make their corporations secure
also contend that the wage earn
ers of America should dip into
their savings and let their per-
sonal futures take care of them
selves"

day of east-west dueling,
with little nation delegates
caught in the middle-growing
more jittery by the hour.
Developments included:
l. Free Press-Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt eloquently defended
the American against Rus
sia's warmomgering charges,
warning that the United States
will fight every Soviet attempt
to have UN limit press freedom.
Mrs. Roosevelt conceded that
the American press has faults,
but added that the disadvan-
tages of a controlled press
would be Overwhelming" Yu-
goslavia countered with a new
resolution which in effect, pro-
posed censorship of all news
papers, news agencies, radio
broadcasts and news reels
to stop any statement crlticizing
foreign governments.
2. Colonies-The Ukraine and
White Russia, both members of
the Soviet Union, demanded UN
action to change the worlds
colonial systems radically.
Their fire was conferred on
Great Britain, which they accus-
ed of imposing terrible misery,
hunger and epidemics" on their
colonials.
3. Palestine-F.M. Jamali of
Iraq asked the United States
to prevent Americans from aid
ing uncertified Jewish immigra-
ton to Palestine. He complain
ed that while individual Ameri-
cans financed terrorism and H.
legal immigration" the United
States government complained
against outside interference in
Greece. These policies, he said,
are inconsistent.
In his statement to the Poll
teal committee, Vishinsky flat
ly rejected an American reso-
luton to blame Yugoslavia, Al
bania and Bulgaria for aiding
the Greek guerrillas who are
fighting Greek government
forces.
He said the real blame for
Greek disorders rested with the
Unacceptable and corrupt" Greek
government, and with the Unit
ed States and Great Britain
which interferred in internal
Greek affairs to suppoar "react-
ionary and antidemocratic
forces"
