Nashville in Central Tennessee i
called at times. "the Athens of thu
South" One reason is the fact
that it is a center of learning. I,
is the home of Vanderbilt University
and other colleges.
For years, there has been another
reason to give Nashville such q
name. A famous building like one
IN Athens, Greece, was put up
there. This building is known as
the Parthenon. Here the visitor
can see what the ancient Parthenon
looked like in the days of It's glory.
Even Athens is without such a
building today. The ancient Par
Shenon is in ruins. We can see
many of its pillars, still standing
in place, but they fail to give a
complete idea of what the build
ing used to look like. To find out
more clearly the form which the
first Parthenon had, we can study
the building in Nashville.
Various models of the Parthenon
have been produced on a small
scale, but the building at Nashville
is different. People walk around
inside it and look at the high CELL
ing. @
A great Centennial fair' was
held 54 years ago and one of the
fair buildings had the shape ofsthe
Parthenon of Athens. s

To Be Strengthened
Before End OF 1850
9th Infantry Regiment
To Provide New Units
As They Are Activoted

By John A. Giles

The Army announced today that
American forces in Berlin would
be strengthened before January /.
The Berlin garrison will be
strengthened by newly activated
units of the 9Th Infantry Regi-
ment, the announcement said.
First units of the regiment to
be activated will be the Head
quarters Service Company. This
will take place in Berlin Monday,
the Army said.
Other units of the regiment will
be activated and undergo brief
orientation and training periods
at various United States training
centers in Germany. Manpower
for the regiment will be drawn
from other American units all
over Germany, to be replaced
from the United States.
The exact strength of American
forces in Berlin has not been dis
closed. The last published figure
for total American strength in
Europe was about $1,000. with
about 10000 in Austria and the
rest in Germany.
The major element of American
strength is the veteran 1st Infan-
try Division, which unlike other
United States units before the
Korean war, was kept at full war
time strength of 1900.
In addition to the 1st Division,
the United States maintains a
constabulary force in Germany
which is trained for combat as
well as police work. -.
The 9Th Infantry Regiment has
a history dating back to 1893 and
holds 38 battle honors. 1t saw
action in Europe during both
World Wars.

nounced that American forces in
Europe would be increased to boil

LOS ANGELES. Oct. IA
Neither Gov. Earl Warren or

or privately that they have their
eyes on presidential nominations
in 1852.
But Gov. Warren was bitten by
the presidential bee two years ago
Or earlier. and once it is in the
blood, the disease is difficult to
shake.
If Mr.. Roosevelt is not thinking
occasionally of his chances for a
presidential nomination, he is the
first Roosevelt in a number of
years who has not had such
thoughts.

Obviously, he will have a good
deal to say about who is to be

Republicans here realize that
Roosevelt victory this year would
go far toward furthering a Roose-

want none of it. They are going
about the defeat Of Mr.. Roosevelt

Larger Stores Expect

Under Credit Curbs
Small Businesses Nay

In District Indicates

New Federal regulations de-
signed to curb installment buying
will have little or no effect" in
large stores, but will fall heavily
on smaller merchants and play
havoc with the business of auto
mobile dealers.
This was the consensus of
Washington area businessmen to-
day after they hurriedly reviewed
the new regulations announced
yesterday. One of them-Maury
L. Nee. head of the P.-J. Nee Fur
niture Co.-said he will officially
protest the new controls in his
capacity as chairman of the Retail
Advisory Committee to the Secre-
tary of Commerce.
Philip Talbot, vice president OF
Woodward & Lothrop Department
Store and chairman of the de-
partment store division of the
and Manufacturers
Association, said, "As far as can
see, the regulations will have
practically no effect on our par
ticular business"
"I can't see how the larger
stores will encounter obstacles of
any consequence in complying
with the regulations" Mr.. Talbot
said. Of course, it will have some
effect on the smaller stores which
are feeling the impact of Regu-
lation w for the first time. I sup
pose there will be some curtail-
nent of purchasing there. But
our credit policies have been ad-
justed to Regulation w and the
new amendments are not drastic
enough to have any real effect. -
Regulations Follow Store Policy.
Ralph Goldsmith, vice president
and general manager of Lans-
burgh & Bro. and former chair
man of the Merchants & Manu-
factors Department Store Divi-
sion. agreed with Mr.. Talbot.
IF goods were plentiful and
hard to sell. it might be a diff
ferent story" Mr.. Goldsmith said,
"but now we have a high demand
and it is becoming increasingly
difficult to get all the goods we
need to satisfy that demand.
THE new regulations are so
closely in line with the policies
of our store that I can't see how
they will discourage people from
buying the things they want and
need"
Smaller Articles Affected.
Other department store spokes-
men said the biggest impact from
the new regulations will come
from the provision applying the
regulation to goods costing more
than $50 instead of the 500 pur-
chases previously exempted. This
