Great Things
In Southern
Industry Seen
ATLANTA (IP) A.
Southern governor and a
scientific research director
predicted great things today
for the South industrially
during the next decade.
H. McKinley Conway Jr., director
of the Southern Association of Sci
ence and Industry, predicted In a
speech at Chapel Hill, N. C., that
more than 3,000 new multl-mllllpn
dollad manufacturing plants will be
built in the South during the ton
year period.
At Chattanooga, Term., Gov. Her
man Talmadge of Oeorgia told a
service club that the South’s com
bination of electrical power, mineral
resources, water supply and reser
voir of workers should combine to'
make the next ten years a gratify
ing era of industrial progress. '
Talmadge said the South’s im
proved methods In agriculture also
are helping the region economical
ly.
BASED ON SURVEYS
Conway based his predictions on
extensive surveys made by the
SASr. a non-profit scientific re
search organization.
He said that If estimates prove
correct, the ten-year period to 1983
would bring the South up to the
national average in per capita in
come, reverse the flow of college
graduates from the region and rele
gate the old tenant 'farming system
to the past.
Conway predicted that 10,000 pro
fessional scientists would be added
in Southern industry and that it
would be necessary to build about
200 major plants to produce new
products “net yet discovered."
In his estimate of new industry,
Conway listed ten plants involving
atomic energy.

A less severe rain hit Moncure,
N. C., in the upper Cape Fear

He asked the Jury for a special

HE LOOKS MEEK
The meek-looking little clerk took
the stand before a packed court
at London’s grim Old Bailey court

10 years ago and whose body was
found in his garden.

Clark Is Given
New Three-Point
Armistice Plan 1
SEOUL, Korea. (IP) —1
Defiant President Syngman i
Rhee said today his army
would “fight alone” if an un
acceptable truce is signed
and warned his troops would
fight any Indians sent to
guard war prisoners.
The 78-year-old president mad*
it clear in tWo public statements
and at a 15-minute meeting with
Gen. Mark W. Clark that South
Korea’s “final” decision was to J
continue the fight against the Com
munists.
Rhee also gave Clark a three
point armistice plan that would re
move Chinese Communist troops
from North Korea, give Rhee a >;
mutual security pact with the
United States, and limit a post-war
political conference in Korea to
three months.
He told Clark at the presidential
palace in a remarkably friendly
meeting that his decision to reject
the current agreement between the
United Nations and Communists is
unchanged.
Clark flew back to Tokyo shortly I
afterward, giving Rhee a cordial
back-slap before getting on the . 5
plane.
DENIES ‘ULTIMATUM £«
Rhee denied reports Clark had
handed him an ultimatum during
a 70-minute meeting yesterday and
the brief encounter today.
“It would be more correct to
say I delivered the ultimatum,'*
Rhee said.
U.S. Ambassador Ellis O. Briggs,
who visited Rhee after Clark left,
said Rhee and Clark had “a friend- 3
ly conversation.”
United Nations officials and Bth
Army officers appeared convinced
ythe rebellious Rhee actually would
'not send his 400,000 - man army «£*
against 1,000,000 Chines? and North, . *3
Koreans. - *■
They believed, however,
Rhee had “reserved the right” to
take independent action ag&inst the %
Communists. *
Rhee emphasized in his interview |
his position as the major ton* 4
standing between the U.N. and a <
truce with the Reds. *. .-^Ff Jg
"They do not try to ton* the •«
Kremlin or the Chinese Com
munists,” he said. “They only try
to force me, a stubborn, weak old ’i
man. How can they think qf such
a thing? I can’t understand it,"
In giving Clark his three point 9
for peace. Rhee said ‘‘we wish to
continue the war” unless the U.N. j
accepts his plan.
