COACH EXPENSE in Game no Neyland team has ever By RALPH McGILL Come all you roundert if you want to hear A story about a brave engineer. Georgia Tech was this rounder's name-By beating Neyland's Vols, boys, he won great fame. The Yellow Jackets of Tech displayed a potent sting and practically chased Tennessee off the field to take a 27-to-0 victory, dealing Brig. Gen. Bob Neyland the worst defeat he has experienced as Vol coach.

Georgia and the University of North Carolina replayed the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl game. However, this time the victory was reversed as the Tarheels passed their way to a 14-to-7 win. Alabama's Crimson Tide was turned slightly greenish as Tu-lane's Green Wave took a surprise 21-to-20 win in a battle in New Orleans. In the feature game Saturday right, L.

Harry Lundquist, the only person found with the still when Federal, State and County officers raided the building at 161 Gar-nett S.

is said to be free under a $5,000 New York bond on a charge of non-tax paid liquor." Federal agents followed Lundquist to Atlanta. It was also reported that the Atlanta still may be traced to the old New York "Beer Barrel Gang." Federal agents, said they "are convinced Lundquist is not the main man" behind the liquor ring. They described the still in a building, formerly occupied by a Holiness church, as a "magnificent setup" and the work of a "master distiller." The liquor turned out at the Garnett Street still did not resemble the ordinary run of Georgia "moonshine," agents related. It approached 130 proof near the potency of alcohol and could have been "cut" by adding water, coloring and flavoring. A rectifying unit" found in the building was used to reduce the potency of the liquor to 90 proof, agents related.

However, they found a huge quantity of empty sugar sacks, indicating that the still had been in operation for some time. To support the syndicate theory, agents pointed out that Lundquist was not turning out the regular "corn" type moonshine made famous in Georgia and the South.

the liauor was a -malt brand, similar to that produced by the beer gangs" of New York during the prohibition era. Also, they contended, the physical setup of the still was "very simuar" io tne illicit liquor plants seized on the East Coast during the early 1930's. Agents estimated that thousands of dollars had been spent to equip the plant with the latest-type oil-fired boiler, which stood in a a. tion of the buildine formerlv nr. cupied by a pastor's study.

To fail to do this is almost a breach of duty and is a great economic waste." The Commissioners, the statement said, have levied a five-mill tax, as provided for by law, to support the Authority, and "have done their full duty and all they can do under the law." As for Grady Hospital, the Authority declared: "Some people seem to think that Grady Memorial Hospital is not treating tuberculosis. As a matter of fact, Grady is effectively serving the community in establishing the diagnosis of tuberculosis and in caring for, treating and hospitalizing persons who are acutely ill of this disease and taking care of many such patients who require surgical care." The Authority warned, however, that "it is not the duty of a public hospital to supply the long-term care of tuberculosis We cannot jeopardize the health of the community by hospitalizing contagious diseases except in the contagious ward This disease must be quarantined.

"Grady is the only hospital in the State which will admit acute polio patients. Should we accept any additional tuberculous patients, it would be necessary for us to discontinue the acceptance of polio and other contagious dis eases. was 27 to 0. day night. Judge Frank Guess, of the De Kalb Superior Court, summoned the Grand Jury immediately after Young H.

Fraser, attorney for Fred W. Phelps, wealthy resident of the home in which Miss Price lived, had asked for a postponement of a hearing on his application for bail. Phelps was taken into custody Friday afternoon on a warrant sworn out by DeKalb Police Chief Ed Foster, who charged Phelps with slaying Miss Price. Asst. Sol.

Gen. Oscar Mitchell, who appeared in court to oppose bond for Phelps, told the court the State was ready to fight the bond application, but in view of the fact the Grand Jury would convene Monday to investigate the death of Miss Price, he would not oppose a postponement. Judge Guess then set the bond application hearing for Wednes day and expressed the opinion the Grand Jury would complete its investigation before that date. At the prosecution table with the Assistant Solicitor sat Atty. Swift Tyler, employed by John Price, a brother of the dead woman.

Price was also at the table. We will have some six or eight witnesses at the Grand Jury in vestigation," Mitchell said after the hearing. "Our case is highly scientific, and I believe we have some strong evidence." Mitchell said Dr. Herman Jones. Fulton County toxicologist, who has been 'employed by DeKalb County to assist in the investigation, has reported finding human blood under the left thumbnail of Phelps, and also on the trousers Phelps was alleged to have been wearing Sunday night.

Phelps, when police were called to his home shortly after the death of Miss Price, told officers she had shot herself after drinking heav-Oy. Police reported that Dr. Jones. after a survey of the scene Mon day night, had made the statement it was impossible for Miss Price to have shot herself. Tests with the pistol found a few feet from her body, show the gun throws powder burns four feet, Mitchell said Saturday as he pointed out that the gun had been carefully wiped off and bore no fingerprints or finger smudges.

Mitchell also said a tiny particle of bone found about three or four feet ud the hall from Miss Price's bedroom door had been identified by Dr. Jones as a part of her skull and matched perfectly with two shattered bits of bone found just outside the bullet wound. This fragment of bone prob ably caught in the clothing of her slayer, and fell off in the hall," Mitchell said. "At the point where it was found it was impossible for it to have blown there. When the hearing opened, about 100 people were in the courtroom.

Court attaches said they included friends of Phelps who were prepared to make bond for him in any amount up to a million dollars.

Emergency aid is the top topic for Republican and Democratic congressional leaders at a White House conference Monday with President Truman and key Cabinet members. With the problems of prices and of preventing starvation and Communism from stalking Western Europe fitting together like a jigsaw puzzle, Monday's White House meeting, and another Wednesday, will hunt some of the missing pieces. The conference with congressional chiefs is expected to determine whether President Truman will call a special session to pro vide stop-gap assistance for the next few months. Mr. Truman wants to avoid one, if possible-The Wednesday conference will bring together the President's Citi zens Committee to spearhead a national campaign to "waste less food." A Food Committee of Cabinet members has said this is the only plan offering any immediate hope of helping to feed Europe without pumping up prices at home.

The new Company opened up a block away from the other, Etheridge said. The Saturday morning battle was reported by the policemen to have begun in this way: Everett is alleged to have knock ed down Clements shortly after midnight, Clements called police, who found no disturbance when they arrived. About 1 ju police again were called by Clements, who said Everett and Etheridge had come to his business place with the "announced intention of "getting him." Clements is report ed to have said he would get his pistol.

Later, police received a third call. That was when the two wounded men were found. Clem ents had a pistol. Still another reason for the taxi war, police said, was Clements' apparent initiative in obtaining concession rights to the paved area in front of the main gate of the Lakewood Fairgrounds, where he established a cab stand. encc the two conferences: 1.

Acting Gov- Thompson "stands ready and is willing and anxious to provide out of public funds the money necessary and desirable to fill up these (Battey's 1,100 va cant) beds with our citizens suffering from tuberculosis," the statement continued.

She was a finalist 1939.

Both golfers hail from the same Capital City course in Atlanta. A gallery of 2,500 saw Miss Kirby, who trailed three down at the end of the 18-hole morning round, rally in the afternoon to even the match on the twenty ninth hole. Miss Suggs won the thirty-first hole to go 1 up, but Miss Kirby came back to even the match again on the thirty-second hole. Then, on the thirty-fifth hole, Miss Suggs forged ahead with a birdie and captured the thirty-sixth with a par while Miss Kirby bogied. Details on Page 10-B Texas Rangers Called AUSTIN, Texas, Sept.

It was prepared finally, it had set for it a defense that anticipated all that Neyland's brilliant single wing back attack could offer and that was a creation of the Dodd football mind. His pass defense covered the Tennessee receivers like white on rice all over that is.

The Tennesseeans completed passes, but few were for gains. Only three times in the entire game was this Tennessee team inside Tech territory. Never in the 20 years of Neyland's coaching has any one of his teams been so subdued, so blotted out of competition. Robert E. Lee Dodd was perhaps the greatest genius of the many Gen.
