George May Face Fight
For Senate Re-election
By JACK BELL
Associated Press Staff Writer
Senator George. Democrat of
Georgia, has told friends he is
not interested in any State De
partment post and has indicated
he will run for the Senate again
next year.
Senator George. 77-year-old
chairman of the Foreign Rela
tions Committee, heads home
today for a vacation and an as
sessment of a Georgia political
situation in which he may be
challenged for renomination by
former Gov. Herman Talmadge.
Senator George has been in the
Senate since November 8, 1922,
longer than any other present;
member.
Asked if he intends to an-:
nounce formally for re-election.
Senator George told reporters.
"I expect I’ll be running again,
but I haven't made any final
decision." Earlier, in an emo
tional farewell to his colleagues.
Senator George said. "I hope I
shall come back."
His present term has one more
year to run.
There are clear indications
that Secretary of State Dulles
would welcome Senator George
as an adviser if the veteran Sen
ator decided to retire from office.
But some of the Georgian's as
sociates said he had told them
he was “not interested" in such
a position.
Praised by Colleagues
Senator George, who recently
was ill with a respiratory ail
ment, took leave of the Senate
yesterday for this waning ses
sion. With him on his auto jour
ney homeward went the plaudits
of many of his colleagues, some
of whom made it clear that if
they had anything to say about
it Georgia would sepd him back
for another six-year term.
“There is no question what
Georgia should do." Senator
Wiley, Republican of Wisconsin,
told the Senate yesterday. "A
man with his background—for
heaven's sake—he should be re
turned.”
From the hospital where he is
recuperating from a heart at
tack. Senator Lyndon B John
son of Texas sent a statement
characterizing Senator George as
a man of "the authentic great
ness that characterizes the
Statesmen whose names live
through the ages.”

I Senator Knowland of Califor
!nia. the G. O. P. floor leader,
said Senator George had “co
operated most fully with the
President and the Secretary of i
State . . . not as a partisan but!
as an American.”
Some of Mr. Talmadge’s ;
friends apparently have bee’ll
suggesting in Georgia that per-j
haps Senator George has been
paying too much attention to
foreign affairs and not enough
to Georgia’s home problems.
Urge Cotton Program
Perhaps significantly. Senator
George took for him the unusual
course of heading a delegation
of 35 Senators and about 60
House members to the White
House yesterday to discuss a new
cotton program and win Presi
dent Eisenhower's pledge for a
cabinet-level study of it.
Senator George also has been
active in arranging to have the
Senate Agriculture Committee
take its traveling hearings on
farm price supports to Georgia
with a tentatively scheduled
meeting at Macon. November 12.
In reports to their congres
sional delegation members here,
some Georgians have credited
Mr. Talmadge with great politi
cal strength in the rural areas.
Because of a county unit sys
tem of voting, those areas have
disproportionate strength in de
termining any State-wide con
test for a Democratic nomina
tion, tantamount to election in
Georgia.
Senator George's political
strength apparently lies in the
urban centers.

Two Agencies
Hit by Logjam
In Legislation
By J. A. O’LEARY
Delay in winding up the legis
lative program in Congress is
beginning to be felt in the daily
operations of at least two Gov
ernment agencies—the Office of
Defense Mobilization and the
Small Business Administration.
Laws to extend both of these
agencies are tied up in the ad
journment logjam, along with
the housing bill.
The most important of these
laws is the Defense Production
Act. which expired Sunday night.
It contained the authority to
issue priorities and to allocate
scarce materials for the defense
program.
No Actions Being Taken
Charles H. Kendall. ODM
counsel, said today no new ac
tions are being taken during
the hiatus in the law. He said
no new appointments are being
made of consultants from pri
vate industry, generally referred
to as dollar-a-year men.
A dispute between the House
and Senate over restrictions on
the hiring of these unpaid ex
perts is the cause of delay in
final enactment
The Small Business Adminis
tration has not been able to
act during the past two days
on any new loans for small busi
ness establishments. Its enabling
act also expired Sunday.
The Government housing pro
gram has not been affected ma
terially. Only three sections of
the housing act actually expired
Sunday.
Repair Loans Technically Hit
One was Title 1. covering home
repair loans. But these repair
; loans are actually arranged by
private lending institutions
which have been approved by
.the Government, and an official
said today these lending agen
cies probably are going ahead
on the assumption Congress will
'complete a housing bill.
The insuring of mortgages on
private homes did not expire,
and Senators have been in
formed the agency could con
tinue to approve mortgages for
about six weeks before reaching
the existing ceiling cn their
mortgage authority.
Confilential Files
$9 Million Suit
NEW YORK. Aug. 2 (t P).
Confidential Magazine filed a *9
million damage suit against the
New York World-Telegram *
Sun and tne United Feature
Syndicate. Inc
The action is based on a
column by Writer Inez Robb.
She referred to a $3 million libel
suit which Heiress Doris Duke
had filed in California against
the magazine and expressed hope
she would win it. The column
did not mention the magazine
or its editors by name.
The magazine’s suit, filed in
State Supreme Court, said the
column injured the magazine “in
the management of its business,
!its integrity, credit and reputa
tion” and injured the “good
name, fame, credit and reputa
tion” of the magazine officials.

cratic Committee, said petitions
seeking Miss Thompson's ouster
would not be circulated “in view
of the ruling.”
Mr. Fairbanks had initiated
the action, accusing the Con
gresswoman of "Jeopardizing the
safety of the Nation” by pro-
longing the decision on a planned
jet fighter base for Northwestern
Michigan.
Lewis Deschler, congressional;
parliamentarian, said there is!
nothing in the Constitution to!
allow constituents to recall Rep-i
resentatives. The Constitution,!
he said, states the House shall be!
the sole judge of the qualiflea-j

Mr. Deschler offered the opin-|

In Washington. Miss Thomp-i

Miss Thompson has accused
Air Secretary Talbott of “double
jcrossing” her in switching loca-
