Davis, Sen. Talmadge, Sen. Russell Russell Assails GOP At Buford Dedication Test 'Moons' To Be Fired In December By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 Ufl-Pres-ident Eisenhower gave assurances today that the United States will launch next March a satellite scientifically superior to the one the Russians now have spinning through space.

The first of a series of smaller, preliminary test satellites will go Moscow moon to shine on, Soviet radio says. Story on Page 2. up even earlier, in December, Eisenhower told a news conference. The President said the United States "could have produced an orbiting. satellite before now" and beaten the Soviets in the first conquest of distant space.

But he said this country isn't in any satellite race. DETRIMENT OF GOALS To have been first, Eisenhower said, would have meant merging the satellite and military missiles projects, to the detriment of sci entific goals and military prog- gress." He said missiles had, and still have, top priority something nev er accorded the satellite program.

9-AU runs were scored on home runs, but by the narrow margin of one foot, Bullet Bob Turley and the New York Yankees shot down brash Milwaukee, 3-2, Wednesday and sent this exciting World Series down to the seven-game wire Thursday as a partisan and pleased crowd of 61,408 looked on. Old Pro Hank Bauer's game-deciding smash in the seventh inning struck the left-field foul pole screen on the fair side by about a foot and that was the difference in the score. YANKEE PITCHING It wasn't the difference in the game, however, for Turley uncorked a pressure-packed four-hitter, struck out eight and walked only two to give the Yankees a decided edge on the hill. Bob Buhl, an 18-game winner for the Braves, was ineffective in his rematch with the unorthdox Turley, who employs the no-wind-up delivery. But long Ernie Johnson, tough in relief, was forced to soak up the stinging defeat.

Kayoed in the first inning of the third game (Turley went out in the second), Buhl was rammed for four hits and walked four before getting the hook in the third round this outing. Yogi Berra turned on the shower for Buhl in the third and gave the Yankees a 2-0 cushion when he lined his 10th World Series homer into the right-field seats some 300 feet away. MILWAUKEE HOMERS Home runs by ex-Cracker Frank Torre in the fifth and by ham- merin Henry Aaron in the seventh erased the Yankee lead. Johnson, who came on in the third, had slammed the door on the Yank? until the fatal seventh. Then with one out Bauer again became the man of the hour by poling his tie-breaking foul-pole homer.

In addition to wrecking the Braves and undoubtedly spilling a lot ot Deer in AiiiwauKee, Continued on Page 39, Column 5 1,400 Going Back to Steel Jobs Today The unscheduled walkout of 1,400 employes at the Atlantic Steel Co. Atlanta plant ended late Wednesday. Uniort and company officials said they reached agreement in Wednesday afternoon talks and that workers were expected to be on the job at regular hours Thursday. The walkout which was not sanctioned by the union, began Monday when five workers left their jobs in protest over the company's retention of an unpopular foreman. The protest spread quickly to other departments.

Earl Black, president of United Steelworkers Local 2401, said the final agreement provided for disciplinary suspension of two of the original five employes. The length of suspension is open to further discussion, he added. The company spokesman said the men were to be suspended for 60 days each. Under the contract, he added, this action may be amended through company-union talks during the next 15 days. Speaking as a military man, Eisenhower discounted the Soviet satellite as offering any immediate or increased threat to American security.

Nor did he speak with concern of Russia's progress ILL "Yankee, Go Home" A few weeks ago this reporter Was in Paris for a day en route home from a journey through Ger- Yrmm many to witness Irta nnhtipol nam. paign and its almost incredible recovery. On the bridges over under- passes were freshly written signs, "Yankee, go home." There is in France more anti-American feel ing than has been there in a long time. The French people are wor ried, afraid and concerned about the drift of things. Their colonial policy is costly and in jeopardy.

The government fell a few days ago over the question of home rule for Algeria. There, in an area which has been "French" for generations, is a problem which is related to our own racial troubles, and those of other areas where millions long dominated are rising to demand equal places before the law and In opportunity. There are about 1.700,000 French citizens in Algeria. They have been there for generations. But they are outnumbered.

And they are not wanted. The African Moslems outnumber them about eight to one. The French have been fighting against guerrillas for three years. Home rule might bring peace. But it also would put an end to absolute French political rule.

And so the government in France falls. African Problem All through French Western and Equatorial Africa the local councils are demanding greater autonomy. The English, with more experience, are working out their African problem. But the French fail to see that history has passed on and requires something else. The old ways are not working anywhere in the world.

And won't There is mis sickness in the French national life. It is a worry. Tbe blow of Suez' went deeper Into-the life of Frenchmen than Americans knew. It is from it that stems much of the anti-American feeling. Most of us in this country thought of the canal company as being owned by a small group of men.

But actually, almost 1,000,000 Frenchmen, mostly retired schoolteachers and civil servants, owned shares in it. They had from it an annual income which seemed to them safer than any investment in the world. The canal company was a favorite refuge of security for persons vith pensions or small income from estates. So, when the Egyptians seized the canal and closed it, thereby sharply reducing returns, middle-class France, as well as the government, was deeply shaken and angry with the United States, which had halted the Anglo-French invasion of the canal and, Egypt. Sensitive Nerve The pocketbook is the most sensitive nerve in the body.

And some 700,000 families suffered in-flamation of that nerve. Any patched-up government to replace the one just fallen will live dangerously. The Communist bloc is still hard. It plays the lypical Kremlin role of throwing its votes to the side which is likely to do the most harm to France's internal affairs. In the Algerian home-rule vote, for example, the Communists voted with the extreme right to defeat the bill.

On this and many other Issues which divide France, the Communists often have held the balance of power to topple one government after another. The future of the French Republic actually is in doubt and there is talk of calling back DeGaulle to head up a government amounting to dictatorship. At NATO there Is somber concern about the future of France. rightist die-hards, who refuse any compromise and who insist that the Moslem majority of Algeria be contained as before, will certainly lose that colony if they persist. Indeed it may now be too late.

If it is necessary to liquidate it and bring home almost 2,000,000 French citizens, who will have to be indemnified for their property losses, the burden might be more than France could bear. And. nerhans worse, they would rut into the political lifeblood of their country a great number of angry, discontented voters. Here we see a people unwilling to admit that history has passed on. And one feels for them sym pathy and hope, and no anger Jbecause to them it seems that and powerful America failed them at Suez.

And they write on their walls, "Yankee, go home." Cooling Off Is Sought By Faubus LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 9 (UP)-Gov. Orval E. Faubus said today that the White House will have to keep troops in Little Rock as long as nine Negroes attend Central High School. "That's the indication at the moment," he said at a news con ference.

His view contrasted sharply with that of President Eisenhower. The President said at his news conference that he hopes local officials can soon handle the situation and let the troops be withdrawn. Faubus said the only solution Is for the Negroes to be sent back to a Negro school for a "cooling-off period." ASKS FOR TIME "We need a chance for tense ness to be allayed, time for litiga tion and time for the people to accept gracefully what is being crammed down their throats at bayonet point," he said. he sidestepped Army Secre tary Wilber M. Brucker's demand that he put up or shut up on his charge that 101st Airborne Di vision troops inside Central invaded the privacy of girls' dressing rooms.

THE OFFICERS Faubus charged that a major general, a colonel and another officer were "indiscreet, to say the least" yesterday when they walked through a crowd of shorts- clad girls at play on the school grounds. The major general was Thomas L. Sherburne commander of the 101st Airborne Division, who Continued on Page 8, Column 5 A Clearer Day In 60s Forecast For Tomorrow Party cloudy skies and mild weather will prevail in Atlanta Thursday, becoming clearer Friday, the weatherman says.

Senators, governors, congressmen, mayors, generals and other officials took part in the dedication of the rock, earth and cement dam, which is the second in a proposed four-dam system planned to control and harness the waters of the Chattahoochee River. First of the dams was the Jim Woodruff dam. Two others are planned on the Chattahoochee between Buford and Woodruff.

Both Sen. Russell and Gov. Griffin spoke of the dam as bringing closer the "dream that At lanta will one day be a port city. HARTSFIELD PRESIDES Mayor William B. Hartsfield, who acted as master of ceremonies, said that he plans to be on hand when the first steamboat docks in Atlanta.

Russell was main speaker of the day. In a short address, he said, "the greatest need of our modern civilization and our expanding economy is adequate supplies of water and its proper use." "The future of our nation and the maintenance of our civilization depends upon the conservation of the water that God gives us," the senator continued. Sen. Russell took a healthy swing at the Republican administration through the Budget Bureau. He explained how the bureau made arbitrary decisions which once were reserved to Congress.

SHORT-SIGHTED POLICIES "This bureau is ill-equipped to be a policy-making body in this field," the senator said. "We must shake off the short-sighted policies of our federal government with respect to the development of water resources." Russell paid tribute to the ex-Continued on Page 6, Column 4 Smaslnip Kills Jesup's Police Chief, 2 Others Constitution State News Service CLAXTON, Oct. 9-The Jesup chief of police and two others were killed Wednesday in a head-on automobile crash near Claxton, the state patrol said. The dead were identified as Police Chief Clarence Edward Sizemore, 51, of Jesup; Marshall Nettles, 57, and his wife, Mrs. Addie Nettles, 55, of Carteret, New Jersey.

Mrs. the chief's wife, was critically injured. Sizemore had served more than 30 years on the Augusta police force and had been named to head the Jesup police force a few weeks ago. The crash occurred at 4:30 p.m. six miles south of Claxton on U.S.

He made the announcement in a surprise visit to President Rene Coty last night. Pleven gave up about 36 hours after the President had entrusted him with the mission of being the 24th postwar premier of France.

3 Are Jailed In Holdup Wave Here By KEELER McCARTNEY A terrorist robbery wave in At lanta was believed broken Wednesday as police seized three suspects in a raid on a south At lanta apartment building. Lt. R. F. Jordan said two of the men were Identified in police lineups by victims in four liquor store robberies within the last eight days.

The three, all of whom have previous police records, were identified as Cecil Ratley, 41, and his brother, Donald Ratley, 34, of a Capitol avenue, SE, address, and Cecil Peppers, 33, of a Woodward avenue, SE, address. Jordan said Cecil Ratley and Peppers were identified as the men who executed the robberies. He said the three will not be questioned until after they have been viewed by other robbery victims. The arrests climaxed a week In which robbery squad detectives led by Jordan and Sgt. G.

H. Christian have worked at least 16 hours a day. They said they still were searching for a Negro man or men wanted in five additional recent holdups. A miscue in police signals almost wrecked the surveillance set up to trap the three. Detectives O.

L. Adams and J. H. Barnes were in a parked pickup truck in the 400 block of Capitol avenue watching a house. They reported activity on a walkie-talkie radio.

Two of the wanted men entered Barnes and Adams waited patiently for the third. They said the third man appeared and as he entered the house a uniform officer, unaware that the surveillance had been set up, started in to make a routine check. All three fled out a back door. More than a dozen police cars sealed off the area within minutes. Unable fo find where any of the suspects had broken Continued on Page 10, Column 4 to build the raft, and he approved the project.

They started to build the raft Monday afternoon, first cutting two logs, and then obtaining several boards to lay across the logs. They borrowed wire to lash the raft together. The Coast Guard said that the raft was about five feet wide and 12 feet long. Two pairs of shoes, a billfold and some keys were found in a wooded area behind the beach where the raft was built.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 W) -President Eisenhower ruled out today any joint Soviet-American "attempt to dictate to the world." His declaration at a news conference offered assurance to America's allies that this country has no intention of abandoning close cooperation with them in exchange for an exclusive effort by the two superpowers to settle major world issues bilaterally. It also amounted to rejecting an evident bid by Soviet Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev for a two-way deal between Washington and Moscow to order the state of international relations. The principle enunciated by the President was applied by him both to proposals for studying international control of space missiles and for a visit to Washington by Soviet Defense Minister Georgi Zhukov.

In response to questions at his news conference, the President did not rule out talks with Soviet leaders under any and all circumstances. Even when such talks may appear desirable, however, he made clear that allied countries would be consulted. He also indicated that they would be kept fully informed of the course of any such talks. The questions were prompted by Khrushchev's statements following Russia's recent launching of an earth satellite and its earlier successful firing of an intercontinental missile. statement before it was released.

Coincidentally, he warned Turkey it would not last a single day in a Mideast war and, in what seemed to be a clear threat of Soviet intervention, proclaimed: "If war breaks out, we are near Turkey and you are not. When the guns begin to fire, the rockets can begin flying and then it will be too late to think about it." In addition to his comments on Turkey, Khrushchev delivered to the New York Times written observations on three other subjects: 1.

Volunteers at a giant pep rally opening the three-week Red Feather drive cheered an announcement that early pledges and gifts totaled $523,728. The sum is 22.5 per cent of the Chest goal.

Sen. Talmadge, kicking off the 1957 Chest campaign with a key note address before hundreds at Alexander Memorial Stadium, told the gathering: MOST LAUDABLE 'It is most laudable to see the people of the three great metropolitan counties of Fulton, De-Kaib and Cobb cooperating in this magnificent endeavor. All the citizens of this tri-county area will benefit by the unity of purpose which has joined you together. "I share your hope that we are seeing here today the beginning of a movement which will consolidate all health and welfare drives for this area into one gigantic, coordinated, united yearly crusade." Talmadge, Mayor Hartsfield, Community Chest campaign co-chairmen Henry Bowden, M. E.

Grant, Carl Kotchian and Jack Tarver, Chest President William C. Wardlaw and other civic leaders headed a colorful "Red Feather parade" through Georgia Tech's great stadium. FULL OF FIRSTS It was the first time the memorial building had been used for any purpose other than a sporting contest. But, Chest officials pointed out, this year's Red Feather drive is full of "firsts." For the first time the campaign will cover a three-county territory, supplying needs of 57 agencies and an estimated 207,000 persons. The 1957 drive will be Continued on Page 8, Column 4 By JAMES RESTON (Copyrisht 1957 by Tin Nw Ysrk Tlmai Co.) Senate to investigate his charges.

This was not a casual utterance in the course of the interview, which took place in Communist Party headquarters here. Khrushchev was clearly and studiously using the interview to proclaim not only that the Soviet was concerned about the Mideast but was prepared to use military force if necessary to defend its interests in that area. He came to Monday's meeting with a sharply worded formal statement on the Turkish question. He repeated and elaborated on this in the most emphatic manner during the exchange of views on the Mideast, and he carefully pondered Wednesday's on intermediate and interconti nental missiles. KNEW MORE The chief executive conceded that on missiles: "I wish we were further ahead and knew more as to accuracy and to the erosion and to the heat-resistant qualities of metals and all the other things we have to know." But he said that "I can't say that I am dissatisfied." He said, too, that, "I don't know what we could have done more." While Eisenhower spoke with an air of composure and calm, obviously the satellite and missile questions had been receiving deep, detailed study at the White House and elsewhere in the administration.

This was apparent, for one thing, from the fact that the Presi- Continued on Page 8.
