Marshall To Take
Oath Tomorrow
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Gen.
George C. Marshall will take his
oath as secretary of state tomor
row at the White House. The exact
hour will depend upon Marshall’s
arrival in Washington. He was
scheduled to be sworn in at 11
a.m. today, but bad weather forced
his plane to land at Chicago on a
flight from the West Coast.
Presidential Secretary Charles
G. Ross told a news conferenc of
the change in plans. He said:
"It will be heard sometime to
morrow, depending on the time of
the arrival of General Marshall.”
Ross said the President has not
talked personally with Marshall
and the White House did not know
whether the general would take a
train or resume his flight when
the weather lifted.
In Chicago, Marshall told news
men he probably would continue
his trip by train.

Arms Reduction
Discussion To Be
Postponed 2 Weeks
(By Larry Hauck)
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. (A*)—An
American motion to postpone
U n i ted Nations discussion of
worldwide arms reduction plans
for two weeks appeared assured
of passage today by the security
council.
Only Russia stood opposed to
the move on the basis of past ar
guments as the delegates reassem
bled after a week-end recess
prompted by the death of Brazilian
delegate Pedro Leao Velloso.
Warren R. Austin, chief United
States delegate, asked the delay
until Feb. 4 because of James F.
Byrnes’ resignation as secretary of
state and to allow more time for
studying a series of preliminary
proposals tossed into the council
hopper by Russia, France, Colom
bia and Australia.
He was represented as being op
posed to any form of compromise
which might provide for immedi
ate establishment of a sub-commit
tee to start the work of a suggested
11-nation disarmament commis
sion.
Within a week Austin plans to
confer with Gen. George C. Mar
shall, the incoming secretary, in a
series of conferences expected to
lay the groundwork for a basic
American policy on the whole
broad question of arms slashing.
Having lost its fight to give pri
ority to a program for control of
atomic energy, the United States
planned to resist setting up a dis
armament commission even next
montfy. However, it was expected
that Austin would agree to such a
body if other delegates insisted,
but would demand that all wea
pons of mass destruction be con
sidered by the presently-function
ing atomic energy commission and
not by any new arms commission.
These plans of course were sub
ject to review by Marshall.
Many Dead When
Greek Ship Sinks
(Continued From Page One
Greek steamer Chimara 20 miles
east of Athens Sunday, causing the
worst mar.time disaster in modern
Greek history.
Additional persons found alive
have caused the ministry to revise
its estimate of deaths downward
to 392,
The possibility that a floating
or magnetic mine sank the 1,800
ton steamer was by no means
ruled out. The ministry said it also
was inquiring into the chance that
some passenger might have been
carrying munitions. There were
192 soldiers aboard.
The ministry said 550 persons
and a crew of 87 were aboard. Of
these 229 were reported saved and
16 others, first believed lost, were
found to have disembarked at
Chakalis three hours before the
predawn explosion in the icy wa
ters. The vessel left Salonika Sat
urday for the Athens port of Pira
eus and carried among others cer
tain members of Paliament, pos
sibly some members of Prince
Paul’s entourage, 200 women and
children and nine stowaways.

Still Another
Governor; Case
Goes To Courts
ATLANTA, (/P)—In a face-to
face encounter across the execu
tive desk, Herman Talmadge re
fused today to yield the governor
nip of Georgia to Lt. Gov. M. E.
Thompson who claims to be “act
ing governor.”
Thom pson immediately an
nounced he would occupy the of
fice of Senate president on the
second floor of the State Capitol
“until this matter is fully adjudi
cated by the courts of Georgia.”
Talmadge told Thompson “You
have no right to claim this office.
There is no vacancy. The general
assembly of Georgia has elected
me as governor.”
Thompson said “I take issue
with you on that. If the courts de
cide that I am lawful governor I
call on you to cooperate with me
fully in the best interests of the
state. By the same token, if you
are declared governor it is my
purpose to cooperate with you.”
Thompson said “Then there is
no argument between us but that
Airplane Stranded
On Yukon River
ANCHORAGE, (A*) — An An
chorage pilot and his two passen
gers were believed stranded today
on the frozen Yukon river near
Kokrines, 35 miles northeast of
Ruby, where the weather bureau
reports temperatures in the neigh
bohood of 50 degrees below zero.
Radio contact was established
with the pilot, Jack Carr, yester
day. Details were lacking but it
was believed all three were safe.
Names of the two passengers were
not available.
this shall go to a decision in the
courts?”
Talmadge answered in the af
firmative and Thompson arose to
leave, saying he would occupy the
offices of the Senate president un
til the matter is adjudicated.
Talmadge rose and said “There
will be no objection from me.”
As Thompson left the governors’
office at 9:01 a.m., he told mem
bers of the press thronging the
doorway that “I will place my case
entirely in the courts.”
