His plane was grounded by fog and when he fi nally made his return to headquar ters by plane, he was hurt to learn, by radio and telvision, that many children did not believe in him. But the response to aradio appeal from his Brownie helpers soon con vinced him that the majority of children in the world did still be - lieve in him and he performed his annual duty of bringing Christmas cheer to the children of the world and especially to those of St. Helena. In the middle of the play, “radio’’ music was provided by the choir of the St. Peter and St. Paul’s Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic C-hurcb, which sang Christmas. carols in English, Polish and Russian. At the conclusion of the Christmas play, a production of recitations by children of foreign lands, in which they paid tribute to the American flag and to Miss America, was pre sented, followed by the singing-of "God Bless America.” It was an evening of gayety and fun. In addition to the people of St. Helena, there were many visitors from Castle Hayne and Wilmington. The fun tonight followed a typical Christmas day in St. Helena. This morning at the church of St. Peter and St. Paul there was the special Christmas service of St. John Chry sostom, in which the choir, unac companied, sang the chants in the beautiful old Slovenic language.

MURRAY ARRESTED ON MURDER CHARGE (Continued From Page One) found in a dying condition and died soon after reaching James Walker Memorial hospital. A short time later a coroner’s jury ruled that Kelly died acciden tally in a highway accident and exonerated Murray of blame. But the case was not closed to Sergeant W. Dewey Thompson, John T.

WANTED experienced salesman To sell Electric Fixtures and Hoover Vacuum Cleaners A. B. BLAKE 123 Market St. j FR. ESTABLISHES NEW WAR MATERIALS PRODUCTION AGENCY (Continued From Page One) was to be done. He emphasized that neither had been given more authority than the other, and re ferred to them again and again as a partnership. Previously a reporter had asked: “Suppose the question of a con tract for the Ford Motor company came up and Knudsen believed it should get it for the sake of speed and Hillman believd it should not for labor reasons. Who would domi nate?” Mr. Roosevelt replied by raising a supposition that such a case would not arise. Statement Issued The lour memoers oi the new agency issued a joint statement which Mr. Roosevelt said was of great importance. In it they stress ed the urgency of the defense prob lem, assured labor that it would not be called upon for sacrifices not demanded of capital as well, and requested the cooperation of all. “To achieve the results which the country expects from the of fice of production management,” the statement said, “we expect and must have the kind of cooperation from everybody that counts no sacrifice too great to make if it will contribute to a more success ful and more efficient defense.” At the capital, meanwhile, both houses were in recess awaiting the receipt tomorrow of the Presi dent’s budget message — asking huge new appropriations for de fense—and the formulation of leg islation covering the chief execu tive’s plan for lending war ma terials to England. Leaders or both nouses were sum moned to a conference to be held tomorrow at the White House or Treasury to inspect, it was under stood drafts of the legislation. In formed legislators said the writing of the bill or bills had been given over to Edward H. Foley, Jr., the Treasury’s general counsel, in colla boration with the State department officials and representatives of the legislative drafting service. Other Development The day brought two other devel opments related to the defense pro gram: Knudsen urged machine tool man ufacturers in a luncheon speech to expand the practice of subletting their contracts so that the delivery of machinery necessary to the pro duction of planes and other essen tials could be expedited. Leon Henderson, a member of the old defense commission, named to keep track of price trends so that artificial price levels might be avoided, said that unless steel scrap prices are reduced by several dollars a ton drastic steps for government control would be recommended. Henderson will have a similar func tion in the new set-up. The executive order creating the new agency clothes it, in the first instance, with authority to “formu late and execute in the public inter est all measures needful and appro priate in order to increase, accele rate, and regulate the production and supply of materials, articles and equipment and the provision of emergency plant facilities and serv ices required for the national de fense.” it can comiiianueer uie plants ui | what Mr. Roosevelt today called rambunctious manufacturers, that is, any manufacturers who attempt to hold the government up for un duly high prices ut be sure to keep the $3.50 Truss or your trouble.
