BY the Associoted Press

| ATLANTA, July l6.-Many
leading Southerners expressed
belief today the civil rights bat
tie marks a major turning point
in the national political history
| The United States is witnessing
they said, either the first pangs of a
new party, or the beginning of a
significant shift, a new lineup OF
supporters and policies under the
old Democratic and Republican
| labels.
| Some of the South's largest news
papers saw an end to the half Cen
tury of one-party Democratic rule
in the South, and sort of fruit
basket turnover" in the Nations S
political mills.
Editor Ralph McGill of the At
lanta Constitution summed it up
today with an emphatic: AN era
is ended
A remodeled Democratic Party,
he said, will swing little to- the
left of the late Franklin Roosevelt
and will be based on the big-city
and labor vote.
Meanwhile, "the Republican Party
moves slowly into the South. An
era is ended"
Russell Sees Change Inevitable.
Among Southern political lead
ers, closer to the fray, some pro-
fessed to see a major new party in
the making.
Senator Russell. Democrat, of
Georgia, under whose banner 26S
Southern votes rallied at the Demo-
cratic Convention, said in an in
terview in his small-toWn law office
in Winder:
II believe it is inevitable, and has
been proven in the history of oul
nation, that those of us who fee
alike must unite in a single party.
I'VE can only speculate on spe.
cific form for constitutional party

furnished by the British.
1t. was not Immediately known
what type of agreement had been
worked out with the British to allow
the planes to be based IN Britain.
So far as is known, there is no
standing agreement between the two
countries which provides for basing
such a large number of planes in
Britain. An Air Force spokesman,
however, pointed out that the Air
Force had been operating very
closely with the RAF in the past,
and that RAF personnel were
trained in this country from time
to time.
Air Force officials were silent on
whether the B-29s would be pressed
into use on the air supply run to
Berlin. However, they presumably
would have no direct effect on cas-
ing the Berlin food blockade. Bomb
ers of that type are of limited use
as cargo transports and further
more. Tempelhof Field at Berlin is
too small for operation of B-29s.

ey the Assoeioted Press

Thousands of veterans who toch
the Army's penicillin cure for
syphilis may still have the disease
without knowing it. the Veterans
Administration said today.
The agency urged veterans to
check periodically with their private
physician or local health depart
ment. The VA said in q news re-
lease:
Contrary to the popular belief
that penicillin is a cure-all for
venereal disease, between 20 and 30
per cent of the cases treated With
thA drug are reported to be fall
ures.'"
Furthermore, said DR.. Bascom
johnson, jr.. penicillin treatment
for gonorrhea in many cases might
have masked the presence Of syph-
Ills.
Medical authorities estimated the
number of United States servicemen
treated for venereal disease during
the war at 100000.

-Greek Guerrilla Offer
To Give Tito } Areas
For Help Is Reported
Bv The Associated Press

1STANBUL, Turkey, July~16. - A
report has reached here, from
sources which have proved accurate
in the past. that Markos Vafiades,
the Greek Communist guerrilla
leader. promised Marshal Tito of
Yugoslavia three Greek areas in
payment for help to the Greek
rebels.
The informants say such a pact
was signed five weeks ago. before
Tito was denounced by the Com
munist Information Bureau for
straying away from MarXism.
They say it would explain why
Bulgaria suddenly became anxious
to resume relations with Greece and
would underline reports that Rus
sia has been increasingly concerned
over Tito's ambition to incorporate
Greek Macedonia into the Yugoslav
federation.
Deal Sought in Belgrade.
These sources give the following
account:
Vafades was worried when the
Greek government moved its army
into position for an offensive to
crush the guerrillas in the Gram
mos area. He is reported as con-
vinced he did not have the strength
to meet a determined push. Nicho-
las Zachariades, secretary general
of the Greek Communist Party,
hurried to Belgrade to negotiate a
deal
Zachariades discussed the guer-
rilla campaign fully with Yugoslav
military leaders, Cominform spokes-
men and the Macedonian leader Ke-
ramiciev, who is secretary of Slav
organization IN. o. F. which aims
to incorporate Greek Macedonia
into Yugoslavia's project of great
er Macedonia. Keramiciev is be-
lieved to have played a big part in
the Greek guerrilla campaign, op-
Grating from headquarters at Sko-
pile in YugoSlaVia.
Results of Talks Reported.
Here is what the informants re-
port on the results of the talks:
|. If VafiadeS was successful in
the field he would cede Florina,
Kastoria and Edessa in Greek Mace
donia to Yugoslavia.
g. Any armistice negotiations
would include demands for legaliza-
ton of the Greek Communist Party,
which then would fight in the Greek
Parliament for legal cession of
Macedonia to Yugoslavia
3. The N. o. F. Immediately would
get important posts in the guerril-
las government which Vaflades
proclaimed some time ago.
4. Col. Gen. Peko Dapcevic. close
personal friend of Tito. would be
Tito's delegate" TO the Vafiades
government; in brief, would sup
ervise Vafiades.
5. The N. o. F. would have the
exclusive right of Incorporating
provinces into Greater Macedonia
No Concessions for Bulgaria.
Bulgaria is said to have heard of
this scheme, which did not mention
any concessions to her Bulgarian
Foreign Minister Vassil Kolarov is
believed to have alluded to it in a
speech June 10. declaring there were
new agreements existing which could
affect Bulgaria's future and adding
that we will never permit Bulgaria
to find herself in the same position
as in 1918" Shortly after Sofia
began making overtures toward re-
sumption of normal relations with
Greece.
The informants say the pact has
split the Greek guerrillas them
selves. Those of Greek origin are
said to feel the concessions too gen.
erous. 1t has even been reported
that some fighting has broken out
between the guerrilla opponents of
the scheme and the N. o. F.

Ruling by Controller
Removes Menninger
As Head Of VA Clinic

Controller General Lindsay c.
Warren has ruled that the Vet
erans' Administrations top pSychia-
trist-after two and half years
of service-no longer can remain
manager of the VA psychiatric
center at Topeka, Kans., it was
learned today.
The agency announced that Dr.
Karl Menninger, internationally
f1noWn psychiatrist, has resigned as
manager of the Topeka hospital, ef-
fective July Is.
The reason, officials said. is rul-
ing by the controller general that
as trustee of the Menninger Founda-
ton at Topeka, DR.. Menninger is
considered contracting agent
for the foundation, which prohibits
him from holding the full-time Gov
ernment job he has held since De-
cember l, 1945.
Services Won't Be Lost.
Dr. Menningers services will not
be lost to VA, however. After
July 25, he will become chairman of
the hospital deans committee and
senior consultant to the hospital,
the agency said.
DR.. Menninger was one Of the
first top-ranking doctors recruited
for the VAS expanding medical
service by DR.. Paul R. Hawley,
former medical chief of VA. Under
his direction, the Topeka hospital
has become VAS largest training
center for sorely needed psychlat-
rists and technical personnel who
have stated other VA institutions
for mental treatment.
The psychiatriSt also was among
doctors accepting the VA jobs at
great financial sacrifice, who bluntly
warned they would drop the pro-
gram if its quality fell or penny
wise and pound-foolish policies are
forced on it."
DR.. Casey Is Successor.
DR.. Paul B. MagnuSon, VA medical
director. who was in Topeka today,
said that by giving up duties as
manager, Dr. Menninger will be able
to devote even greater efforts to
the active treatment of mentally i'll
veterans, as we'll as to the training
program
DR.. Mennlnger will be succeeded
as manager by DR.. Frank Casey
who has served under DR.. Menninger
as chief of professional services at
the Topeka hospital since January
1896 DR.. Casey took residency
training at St. Elizabeths Hospital
here and served in the European
theater in World War II.
