Athens, Ala., Aug. 10. (UP)—A white mob massed in the atreets of Athens late today and ordered all Negroes out of the businesa district following a fight between two young Negroes and two white youths. For several hours the aituation threatened to flare into violence but. v\ith the arrival of M State Highway Patrolmen and mobiliza¬ tion of the local unit of the State Guard, the town was quiet tonight. The trouble started when a mob of between 2U0 and 300 white men marched on the city jail to re¬ lease the two white youths be¬ lieved to be behind bars. Fira Over Crowd Editor Harry Walker of the I Umestone Democrat lieie said po¬ lice fired one shot above the heads ! of the angry crowd and then shout- , ed to them that the men had been i freed. i The crowd then roamed the jstreets throughout the late after- |noon and early evening, driving I Negroes out of the business sec¬ tion of the town. The Negro popu¬ lation livea in two settlementi — Village View and Free Canada — and tonight most of them were be¬ hind the locked doors of their homes. Chief J. B. Whitmire of the Decatur, Ala., police said after a tour of Athens that everything was quiet and that he did not expect further trouble. No one had been injured up to the hour of his re¬ port. Every store was closed and the town's one theater, which has a balcon.v for Negroes, waa darkened. State Finance Director. Hayes Tucker, acting chief executive In lthe absence of Gov. CHiauncey Sparks who was vacationing, kept lln touch with the situation b.v tele- 1 phone from Montgonierj- and an- I nounced shortly after » p. in. that j State Guardsmen would not be I sent here tonight unless the situa- I tion changes.

Between 8 and 4 p. m. the second fight broke out between two white men. reportedly ex-servicemen, and two Negroes, In that case all four were jailed and held briefly and were then relea.sed.

Aug. 10. (UP)— Gen. George C Marshall declared oOicially today that peace In China was impossible and that a battle lo thc death waa in the making between central government forces and the Chinese (Jommunists. "The fighting daily grows more widespread and threatens to engulf the country and puss beyond the control of those responsible." Mar¬ shall said in a joint statement with Dr. John Leighton Stuart, New U. S. Ambassador to China. Nanking dispatches said Mar¬ shall, convinced the peace mission on which President Truman had sent him was a failure, would re¬ turn to the United States about Sept, 15. There waa litle likeli¬ hood he would return to China. WanU to Wipe out Reda Nanking political sources said the central government of Gen¬ eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, after more than 20 years' .warfare with the Chines* Communists, was de¬ termined to wipe them out by mili¬ tary means and extend its juris¬ diction over all China. Govornment Minister of Tnforma¬ tion Pong' Hsueh-Pei said Chiang would issue an important statement next Wednesday "which will define the government position." Peiping dispatches reported a second clash between U.S. Marines and Communists on a northern rail line. Reds Demand Control As a basis for permanent peace, the central government asked the Communists to evacuate certain areas in central and northern China under the Army reorganization plan. ThU withdrawal would leave the Communists only an area In the North Hingan Mountains. The Communists agreed to withdraw their armies but in return demand¬ ed permission to maintain their own local administrations and their own peace preservation corpi In those areas. Tlie government refused, con¬ tending that this amounted to con¬ tinued Communist domination, and it was at this point that negotia¬ tions entered a deadlock that was never broken. Washington. Aug. 10. (UP) — The new Uiree-man price decon¬ trol board starts Monday on tts gigantic task of deciding — within eight days — whether a big share of the nation's food will go into the housewife's market basket at ceiling prices cr with no controls at all. By Aug. 20, the board must de¬ cide whether meat, grain, milk, giaiii and iiveslock products, cot- tonaeed and soybeans should be under price control. Under the new OP.A law, all these products automatically will be returned to control on Aug, 21 unless the board decides other¬ wise. I But poultry, eggs, tobacco and petroleum will remain ceiling-free unless and until the board specifii'- allv directs that tliey be controlled Hearing This Week The board, working against time, has acheduled hearings Monday through Thursday. Labor and farm groups and Industry and con¬ sumer organizations will be al¬ lowed to present their views. Most of them will be limited to 15 min¬ utea each.

Vishinsky. The Vishinsky incident oc¬ curred during an angry debate of Yugoslavia's request that Al¬ bania be invited to the peace eon¬ ference in a consultative capacity. After tempers calmed, the con¬ ference heard at an afternoon session Premier Alicde de Gaapcrl of Italy present an eloquent appeal for less harsh peace terms for hia country in recognition of her aerv¬ ices to the Allied cause. Byrnea Chairman Monday After de Gasperi's speech. Prem¬ ier-President Bidault adjourned tha conference until Monday at 10 a. m. when Byrnes will take his flrst turn aa chairman. The delegates to the august assembly of 21 nations seeking to write peace treaties for Italy and four other Axis satellites were treated to one of the moat amaz¬ ing spectacles in the history of di¬ plomatic protocol. It was an extension of an angry row between Bidault and Vishinsky which haa been in progress ainca yesterday, when the Russian lar- castically attacked the agenda drafted by Bidault for the session and criticized the failure of the conference secretariat to produce Russian translations of all docu¬ ments with dispatch. Today's debate over Yugoslavia's request alrea()y had produced some of the rougticst language of the meeting, including flat charge that Premier Constantin Tsaldaris had offered to carve up the little Balkan state between Greece and Yugo¬ slavia.

The XS-1 is a small plane with a wingspan only about half of that of convential aircraft in relation to the length of the fuselage. An automatic device will eject the pilot from the cockpit, should diffi¬ culty arise, and a special para¬ chute will drop him to the ground. At the speed of sound, conven¬ tional aircraft would encounter vibration. Air would not flow over their surfaces in orderly patterns as in subsonic flight. One version of the plane mav have wings swept back at 38 to 45 degrees. NACA wind tunnel lasts indicate thia will decrease drag or resistance and possibly maka tha plana easier to control.

VVashington. Aug. 10. (UP)—The battle of big words between Presi¬ dent Truman and Rep. Clarence J. Brown, Ohio Republican, got so rugged tonight that one of Brown's own typists was booby-trapped by his latest jaw-breaker. Brown. GOP congressional cam¬ paign direclor, is the man who started the run on dictionaries by accusing Mr. Truman of practic¬ ing ingannation (deception) in talk¬ ing about a balanced budget. PaKy Preference At his news conference yester¬ day, Mr. Truman countered that Brown was attempting obfuscation by using a $40 Republican word such as ingannation. The Presi¬ dent said obfuscation was a Demo¬ cratic word meaning to mi.x up. He g»ve no price ceiling on its value. Tonight, Brown reared back and fired not one, but four, etymo¬ logical blockbusters at Mr. Truman and his revised budget. Brown said he had no desire to indulge in "paronomasia" with Mr. Truman abnut the budget, but that he couldn't let the President's "light-hearted induration of Fri¬ day's press conference mark the end of the debate." But paronomasia and Induration were only jthe half of It. Brown, completely warned up by now and throwing the thesaurua with a sharp-breaking curve, aftld Mr, Truman Informed the "pertina¬ cious" reporters that the Budget would have been balanced had tt not been for the terminal leav* pftj; appropriation. So far so good. Brown'a typM was handling paronomasia, ln(luTft- tion and pertinacious Ilka ft tM> eran. Then It happened. Too .Murh Is Obvious Taking a full wind-up, Brown said that in reminding Mr. Trumaa about a few budget balancing itema, he did not mean to "exprobrata." That apparently was too much for Brown's typist. She completely muffed the second "r" and it earn* out this way In tha official Repub¬ lican national committee releaaai "Exprobate." I The typist recovered beautifully, however, especially on this pftrft- I graph of Brown'a statement: I "ingannation may be a 140 Ra- i publican word l» Mr. Trum«n, but II wish to remind him that obfusca¬ tion. which he claimed aa a good iDemocratic word . .
