GAFFNEY YOUTH
FOUND LODGED
ON HIGH CLIFF
OAFFNEY—The body of Son
M. Wolf*, Jr., 33-ysar-old ex-sailoi
and member of a prominent Gaff
ney family, was found yesterday
afternoon on a ledge 700 feet be
iow the rock at Caesar’s Head,
dangers are today making a sec
ond attempt to penetrate the wild
mountain side and recover the
body which is supposed to have
lain in the ledge since Monday
when he disappeared from Cae
sar's Head hotel where he was a
guest.
Young Wolfe fell over the high
cliff while hiking in the moun
tains. The sheriff’s office in Spar
tan county was notified Monday
of the young man’s disappearance
and on Wednesday afternoon a
ranger sighted the body. He ap
proached within 30 feet of the
body but had to turn back and
Kftyi for more mountain climbing
equipment.
This morning a group of search
ers with a truck and mountain
«-nmhing equipment went to the
scene. Two and a half miles of
the journey will have to be taken
on foot, up steep and dangerous
cliffs.
Young Wolfe is the son of Sam
W. Wolfe, sr., former attorney
general of South Carolina in the
early twenties. Mr- Wolfe and
his family moved to Gaffney from
Walhalla and has since been en
gaged in the practice of law with
Claude Fort.
ATTLEE

between the extremities of his own
party. A friend gave this opinion
Of Attlee:
"If I had Attlee by my side
in the government. I should
never expect a daring Innova
tion from him. but I should al
ways expect to see hie Job
completely performed, with no
loose ends left behind.”
Attlee had been attending the
big thrae conference in Potsdam
beside Churchill, to assure that
there would be no break in the
continuity of Groat Britain’s for
eign policy.
FOB SOCIALISM
Attlee has fought in polities for
36 years for the cause of socialism
in England and today was on the
threshold of No. 10 Downing
street, residence fo British prime
ministers. He was graduated from
Oxford.
If he steps into Churchill’s shoes,
he will direct one of the moet
sweeping changes of modern times.
His party advocates a "socialist
commonwealth of Great Britain,"
with nationalization of all its basic
industries, public ownership of the
Bank of England and ultimately
nationalization of the land.
Attlee lam tne vividness or
Churchill, but there is no doubt
about his integrity and hie fighting
spirit.
As deputy prime minister in the
wartime coalition government, he
directed Britain's whole fighting
machine during Churchill’s fre
quent absences from the country.
COMPARISON
In a measure, Attlee after
Churchill would be to Great Britain
what President Truman is to the
United States after president
Roosevelt.
Both men believe In committee
action. Both are unpretentious, yet
abounding in courage and deter
mination. President Truman is
perhaps more of a politician; Att
lee more of an academlcan.
The great difference between the
two leaders, however, is Attlee’s
flrnny anchored socialism. He has
been a member of tha Fabian so
ciety since 1908 and one of the
strongest pillars in the Labor party
in its rise to political domination.
In contrast, Mr. Truman was in
Mr .Roosevelt’s own party and
pledged himself to continuance of
the Rooseveltian policies.

THE WAR TODAY:
Enemy Expecting Attack By
British On Singapore Base
By DeWITT MacKENZIE, AP Writer
For some three weeks Tokyo
hu been nervously forecasting a|
British attack on the mammoth
naval base of Singapore which for,
nearly three and a half years has j
been one of Japan's key positions
for offense and defense,
i Frequently when the Mikado's
spokesmen broadcast prophesies
i like that they are fishing for in
; formation from the Allies—hoping
i that we shall be foolish enough to
, make a retort that will divulge our
, plans. In this case, however, the
. Japs undoubtedly are sincere, as
i witness that they have been evac
, uating civilians from the island
, to the Malayan mainland and are
> preparing for attack.
Well, they may be right. My
! information from good sources is
that Admiral Lord Louis Mount
batten, commander-in-chief in the
southeast Pacific, has been getting
a lot of ships and materiel from
Europe and is fairly well set for j
major action. It's worth noting,
too, that Mountbatten attended the
Big Three conference at Potsdam
yesterday. Certainly it’s a position
for us to watch.
MONSOON SEASON
It is true that the Monsoon
season, with its fierce winds and
rains, is now in full blast over the
Indian ocean. But this wouldn’t
necessarily prevent an operation
against Singapore, since the lower
Malay Peninsula is outside the
Monsoon belt. As I see it, the j
British could make an amphibious,
invasion of the narrow part of the
Peninsula, establish a base through
which to funnel reinforcements
and supplies, and then fight their
way down to Singapore, which lies
just off the tip.
Recapture of Singapore would
be one of the big victories of the
war, for it would permit the Al
lies to reopen the narrow strait of
Malacca between the Malay Pen-!
insula and Sumatra. Through this j
strait, which is a short-cut be
tween the Indian ocean and the
South China sea, the British East
India fleet could pour for opera
tions against the China coast and
Japan proper.
"INVINCIBLE”
It will be a great moment for
John Bull when he starts his as
sault to avenge the disaster which
the Japs inflicted on him at the i
beginning of '42. "Invincible” Sin
gapore fell on February 15 at one
of the blackest periods of the
world war for the Allies. The
Mikado's forces had assaulted
Pearl Harbor on December 7,
Wake island fell on December 23,
Hongkong followed on Christmas
day and the enemy had occupied
Manila on January 2. Hitler al
ready was counting his chickens—
and why not!
Singapore was the most power
ful naval base in all that part of
the globe. It had taken fifteen
years to build it, at a cost of $80,
000,000, and it was one of the won
ders of the world.
It’s 22 square miles of deep sea
anchorage could accommodate the
entire British fleet. It had a
floating dock capable of handling
a 45,000-ton battleship, a graving
dock able to take care of the vast
liner Queen Mary, and great un
derground depots. It was guarded
by huge coastal guns.
LOSS WAS SHOCK
Nobody—barring the Japanese
had dreamed that this Gibraltar
of the Orient could be captured or
even harmed. Thus it was one of
the greatest shocks of the whole
war when the Nipponese fought
their way down through the stream
ing jungles of the Malay Peninsu
la and swarmed over onto this 217
square miles with its population of
some 600.000.
It can be assumed that the Jap
anese have kept the base up to
par. What they may do in the
way of destruction when their day
af doom approaches remains to be
seen. The latest information a
vailable is that they have some
75,000 troops on Singapore and the
Malay Penirisula. If the British
should land on the Peninsula, it's
probable that the Japs would fight
a. retiring action towards Singa
pore, and finally make a suicide
stand on the island.
Tokyo believes that a prelimi
nary assault against Malaya will
ae British occupation of the Nico
nar islands, off the northwest tip
jf Sumatra. That seems like an
other good news on their part.
Keep an eye on it!

government in 1929 under the late
Ramsay MacDonald, and held pow
er until 1931 when It was forced
to go to the people on the gold
standard issue.
Following that election it was
forced to lean heavily on the Lib
eral party section of the govern
ment coalition and in 1935, Brit
ain's last general election until
July 5, Stanley Baldwin led the
Conservatives into power.
In one of the most acrimon
ious campaigns in Britain’s his
tory, the Labor party pledged
itself in this election to sup
port a program of national so
cialization of heavy industry,
transportation, mines and the
Bank of England.
The first thing Attlee and his
party probably will attempt to do
when they take over the govern
ment will be nationalization of
these enterprises, including the
iron and steel industry and all
forms of inland transport.
MONOPOLY
“When monopoly gets into the
hands of a few men, then the only
safe monopoly is a monopoly of
the commodity.'' Attlee has declar
ed.
He has promised political lib
erty for India "if they can achieve
it for themselves” and he has de
clared for the closest possible re
lations with the United States and
Russia.
There has been little outward
difference of opinion between the
Labor and Conservative parties on
foreign policy, as shown by Att
lee’s willingness to accompany
Churchill to Potsdam. The labor
ite did challenge Britain's position
in Greece.
The question of who will be
chosen Eden's successor as for
eign secretary remained unde
termined, but speculation has
centered around three names
in this order—Ernest Bevin.
Hugh Dalton and Herbert Mor
rison.
All three served in the coalition
cabinet of Churchill. Bevin as la
bor minister, Dalton as president
OI Utlr Wtua wi unuc «nv* *»*v**»
son as home secretary.
The laborites will “cany on the
foreign policy of the coalition gov
ernment,” Bevin asserted as he re
ceived the returns amid cheers at
labor headquarters.
NOTHING HALF-WAY
"I’m speechless — just speech
less.” he added, as he laughed off
questions as to what post he ex
pected to receive in the new gov
: ernment.
There was no halfway trend in
the election pendulum. Many Con
servatives had counted upon the
Liberal party, which stands mid
way between the two major par
ties, splitting the labor vote. But
the Liberal party returned few
members and several leaders were
defeated. Among them were Sir
William Beveridge, father of the
“Cradle to the Grave" security
plan, and Sir Archibald Sinclair,
air minister.
The normal procedure, now
that Churchill has been defeat
ed, would be for him to call
upon the king and tender his
resignation as prime minister.
The king would call upon
Attlee to form a new govern
ment.
Attlee's new government then
would be presented to parlia
ment for a vote of confidence
when parliament convenes Aug.
8.
There was a possibility that Sir
Stafford Cripps, whose mission to
India in 1942 failed to bring about
| a settlement there, will get the
I job as secretary of state for In
: dia, replacing L. S. Amery.
Replacement of a number of dip
lomatic representatives connected
with the conservative party, among
them Lord Halifax, ambassador In
Washington, Is likely.

ral America has never given pe
nsion for Japanese militarists to

The implication is that Amerl

■rality.
•In short, they (American
officials) intend to mete out
such a hard retribution that
the Japanese people are more
determined than ever to unite
and resist as a united mass of
10<l million souls and will so
continue as long as American
minds remain dictatorial and
oppressive,” declared the Jap -
anese commentator.

SOONG OPTIMISTIC
Much Interest also had been at
tached to a statement made in
Chungking by China’s premier. T.
V. Soong. just back from several
personal conferences with Marshal
Stalin in Moscow. Soong made it
plain that he had made good
enough progress with the Russians
regarding mutual problems that he
was willing to be optimistic in
public and predict the war would
end this year or early in 1946.
Still another sign of political de
feat for Japan came from Chung
king. The central Chinese govern
ment admitted that its troops had
clashed with Chinese communist
forces in the north. While both
sides blamed the other for start
ing the fight, the attitude of each
was significantly different.
Chungking shrugged it off with
an air of confidence, as much as
to ask the communists what they
intended to make of it.
The Reds, on the other hand,
said they were “very indignant."
Communist irritation might have
stemed, it was considered here,
from a fear that Moscow has no
intention of cold-shouldering the
Chungking government and ac
tively supporting the Chinese Red
regime in Ycna. Such a Moscow
decision, if actually taken, would be |
almost certainly an outgrow'th of ’
Soong’s talks with Stalin.
