BUTLER IS HURT WHEN HIT BY CAR Deputy Sheriff Struck While Investigating Accident Near the City Deputy Sheriff T. Butler was ser iously injured early last night when he was struck by an automobile driven by Will R. Foreman, of Caro lina Beach, while investigating an accident on the Carolina Beach high way about five miles from the city. He was admitted to James Walker Memorial hospital for treatment of a fractured leg and a dislocated hip. His condition was reported as "satis factory.” State highway patrolmen who in vestigated the accident said that Butler was directing traffic at the scene of the accident when he was struck. The accident involved automobiles drive nby Joe Marion Tilley, of 812 Orange street, and Dennis Truman Southerland, of Route Two, Wil mington. Neither of the ,^wo drivers were injured, although their cars ■teere damaged considerably. Foretfian was headed toward Wil mington at the time Butler was Struck on the highway. Butler was wearing plain clothes at the time. Foreman w as arrested on a charge of reckless operation of an automo bile with injuries. He was released under a bond of $500. _ [TEACHER TENURE PLAN IS DOWNED (Continued From Page One) {end their city limits by ordinance, rather than by special legislative enactment.

If those services are not grant ed, the new citizens may remove themselves from the towns through petitions. The senate reapportionment measure was voted a favorable report by the joint committee on senatorial districts, and the propo sal to give teachers job security was unfavorably reported by the house education committee. Under the former bill, the senate personnel would be divided among 10 districts, with the west gaining one senator and the east losing one. A sub-committee had returned Davie to the 24th district with Wilkes and Yadkin, with one sena tor; and had gven Cabarrus and Rowan two senators in a new 21st district. This change was adopted 12 to 5, the rest of the bill remain ing as introduced February 14. Bertie would be added to the first district; Northampton, Vance and Warren would make up the third, with one senator; Durham, Granville and Person would com pose the 14th, with two; Caswell and Rockingham would be the 15th, with one; Alamance and Orange would be in the 16th, with one; Guilford would be alone in the 17th, with one; Mecklenburg would be alone in the 20th with one; Cabar rus and Rowan would be in the 21st with two; Cleveland, Mc Dowell and Rutherford would be in the 27th, with two; and Hay wood, Henderson, Jackson, Polk and Transylvania would be in the 32nd, with two. The proposal was opposed by representatives Stoney of Burke and Pickens of Guilford, and Sena tor White of Vance. Stoney as serted that “the truth of the matter is, it’s a bad bill.” “We are simply giving lip serv ice to the constituton and are be ing ruled by a small group of wilful men,” he said. “I am against it and my people are against it.” On motion of Representative Reynolds of Buncombe, himself principal of the West Buncombe High school, the house education committee killed the tenure bill without comment. The senate education gave a "without prejudice” report to a similar proposal and sent it to the floor. But doubt was expressed that it could pass. Apparently, legislators were un willing now to go beyond a provi sion for "continuing” teacher con tracts provided in a bill now before the two educaton committees as an additional to the school ma chinery act. This would provide that teachers must be notified by registered letter before the end of the school term if they are not to be retained. The joint education committee discussed proposed changes in the j machinery act and will continue fhe consideration Tuesday, when the measure may be reported. The group adopted an amendment to allow teachers to maintain their standing without attending sum mer schools. Lloyd Griffin, school commission secretary, suggested and represen tative Edwards of Swain offered an amendment to extend work men’s compensation coverage to employes of schools with a 12th grade and ninth month. Under the changes, superinten dents would serve for four years and principals two years; teachers would be chosen by local com mittees from lists prepared by lo cal superintendents; districts with less and 1,000 school population would be allowed to hold special tax elections; school buildings *-advertisement Brazil Honors U.

Forecasters said snowfall would be heavy and temperatures lower from Block Island, R. I., to East port, Me, with exception of parts of Vermont and Connecticut. Although the storm centered in the East, other parts of the coun try especially the South, did not escape the wintry blasts. Snow fell last night as far south as Valdosta, Ga., eighteen miles from the Flori ! da line, although a bright sun soon j cleared the ground. Snow of varying depths fell in ! North Carolina from Elizabeth City I on the Atlantic to the Great Smoky Mountains on the Tennessee bor der. Mt. Mitchell, regularly the cold est spot in the state where official weather readings are made, had a minimum temperature of two degrees above zero. Clearing skies accompanied by falling temperatures were reported across North Carolina tonight. Florida’s forecasts called for temperatures as low as 30 de grees tomorrow morning in the citrus and winter vegetable grow ing areas, Tallahassee, the State capital, this morning had a reading of 29, which was 22 degrees under the previous day’s low. The storm was the worst of the year for Southern New Jersey, where drifts piled three feet high in places and caused suspension of classes in many schools. The entire Delaware Peninsula also reported near-blizzard condi tions which threatened to isolate communities. Sussex county of that state was especially hard hit. So heavy was the fall over the entire Peninsula, however, that efforts of 300 workers sent out by the high way department were unable to keep all roads open. As the storm moved eastward forecasters said they expected its center to pass between Nantuckel, Mass., and Block Island. Strong gale winds accompanying the snow scattered 35 fishing boats between Norfolk, Va, and Wildwood, N. J. Captain K. E. Knute of Theyan non, arriving at Wildwood ten hours overdue, said the storm was the worst he had encountered in 15 years. 5 WILMINGTON HOTEL CONTRACTS AWARDED (Continued From Page One) tural steel and brick construction, an absolute fireproof structure, with reinforced concrete floors. “I am tying to help keep hotel facilities ample for the many new comers expected to visit our city in the near future,” said Bugg in discussing the details of the proj ect. A store, 35 feet wide and 100 feet deep, will be erected under the addition and extend to the new American Oil company station building on the rear of the Wil mington Hotel property. Each of the 40 to 50 rooms in the addition will feature private accommodations for tub and shower and will be the very latest in hotel facilities, in every way, Bugg said. All construction details have been designed to conform with the present Wilmington Hotel building. When completed, the new wing will be strictly modern and up-to date in every way. After the addition is finished and it is discovered that it does not furnish ample hotel accommoda tions for Wilmington, the owner plans to construct three more stories over the entire building, new and old. This work, Bugg pointed out. will make a complete 10 story build ing, as was outlined when the Wil mington Hotel was first built, with accommodations for approximate ly 225 rooms. 1 could be used free for certain pur poses with the consent of local boards; and extra teachers would be allowed for areas boomed by national defense activities. 5 WEATHER (Continued From Page One) WASHINGTON.

Specific offenses on which vio lators can, if they choose, waive court appearance, and prescribed fines for each offense, include: Overtime parking in the city, $2. Double parking in the city, $3.80. Illegal parking in bus zone, $3.80. Illegal parking in loading zone, $3.80. Illegal parking by a fire hydrant, $4.80. To be added to this list, effective Monday, Alton A. Lennon, record er’s court judge and sponsor of the new system said, will be: Overtime parking in the post office 10-minute restricted zone, $2.00. Blocking a public or private driveway, $3.80. Operating a vehicle without proper city tags, $2.00. Offenses are submissible to the clerk of the superior court, court house building, from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m., daily except Saturdays, Sun days and holidays. The remainder of the time—5 p. m. to 9 a. m., Saturday afternoons, Sundays and holidays—offenders can submit and pay their fines to the desk sergeant at the city police station in the basement of the city hall. In addition to the specified of fenses listed above—all city or dinances—motorists cited for speeding outside of the city can immediately appear before any justice of the peace in New Han over county and waive court ap pearance by posting to maximum fine of $10 with the magistrate. Justices of the peace, Judge Len non said, are empowered to act on all traffic misdemeanors where the maximum penalty does not exceed $50 or 30 days imprison ment. Through the system brought into operation yesterday after a series of conferences between city traf fic police, deputy sheriffs and members of the Wilmington office of the state highway patrol and Judge Lennon, the number of traf fic cases being heard in record er’s court is expected to decrease more than 75 per cent. Experience of recent weeks has indicated to the court. Judge Lennon said, that nearly all minor traffic offend ers plead guilty. The new system was brought in to existence to meet a public de mand that minor offenders could waive court appearance and the lengthy delays occasioned by the over-crowded court docket. Secondly, Judge Lennon pointed out, the system will make it pos sible for city, county and state traffic policemen to forego long hours in court, thus allowing them more time on active street and highway duty. PLAN TO PREVENT STRIKES OFFERED Placed Before Congress by William S. Knudsen, Director of OPM WASHINGTON, Feb. 28-—(A>)— A far-reaching plan to head off strikes in defense industries and to deny the protection of the Wagner Act to unions or employers con sidered recalcitrant was laid be fore congress today by William S. Knudsen, director of the ofice of production management. He wrote a memorandum to Chairman Sumners (D.-Tex.) of the house judiciary committee, en dorsing a provision in a bill by Rep. Smith (D.-Va.) calling for federal conciliation when it ap pears that a defense strike is im minent. Then he added these suggestions, in case conciliation failed: “Notice of intent to strike on a defense contract shall be given only after all the employes in the plant have given their consent through a secret ballot conducted on the premises, under supervi sion of the conciliation service of the department of labor with a majority of not less than 60 per cent. “After notice of intent to strike is served on the management and the labor department, a committee of fact finding members of OPM will 6tudy the issue and give a re port within ten days. Strike must be deferred until 30 days after re port is submitted. “Failure to comply will make strike unauthorized and will forfeit the manufacturer’s and the union’s rights before the national labor relations board, until reinstated by the board.” (There were differing opinions as to what the words “failure to comply” referred; some quarters thought they meant that the strike would be declared unauthorized if the report of the factfinding board were not complied with; others be lieved the strike would be out lawed if the 30-day cooling-off period and other rules suggested in the previous paragraphs were ignored. Aides of Knudsen said he would not be available to interpret the language until tomorrow.) It was authoritatively reported tonight that Sidney Hillman, as sociate OPM director and labor member of the defense commis sion, did not see the Knudsen memorandum before it was sent to Capitol Hill. In the same communication, Knudsen told Sumners that he agreed with other sections of Smith’s bill which provide for life imprisonment for sabotage on property or finished articles. But he said he opposed similar penal ties proposed for “interfering” with property on defense contracts or handling such property “in a de fective manner.” He did not comment, however, on still other sections which would make it unlawful to compel a de fense worker “to join or not to join” a labor organization. Judiciary committee members received the memorandum without comment but Sumners said that the committee would resume on Monday its hearings on the gener al subject of labor troubles in de fense industries. BETHLEHEM STEEL STRIKE IS ENDED (Continued From Page One) ward F. Entwisle said he tele graphed the OPM its proposals are “satisfactory to us.” Union members will return to jobs as soon as conditions at the plant permit. The settlement, termed a "great victory” by Van A. Bittner, steel workers organizing committee di rector, provides: 1. Re-instatement of all employes recently discharged, estimated by the union at between 600 and 1000, as soon as resumptions of opera tions will permit; 2. A conference to seek adjustment of differences; 3. The OPM to “explore” with the labor board the possibility of hold ing a collective bargaining agency election. Bittner said the union’s original demand for a 25 per cent wage in crease, later abandoned, would be considered when it “bargains” with the company. He added he hoped an election would be held within 30 days. The strike, called at 9 p. m. Wednesday and attended by occas ional violence, threatened the un ion said, to engulf other Bethlehem mills, working on $1,500,000,000 worth of defense orders. The SWOC claims 10,000 mem bers among Lackawanna’s 14,000 employes, but has declined to esti mate the number who struck, A steady stream of workers, some union members, filed through the seven gates of the plant, located on the southern fringe of Buffalo, to report for the 3 p. m. shift. Bittner conceded the possibility of delay before all the men re turn to their jobs, and said “it may not be possible to get all the furnaces and other plant equip ment into immediate operation and it may take several day? to take all the men back.” WINANT ARRIVES LISBON.

BULGARIA WILL JOIN AXIS TODAY (Continued From Page One) whose arival now was believed to be only a matter of brief hours. Turkey was said to be reinforc ing her troops on the Bulgarian frontier following conclusion of the talks between Turkish leaders and Anthony Eden, British foreign sec retary, and Gen Sir John Dill, chief of the British imperial gen eral staff. Big Question The big question now was “What will Turkey do?” And despite the communique is sued in Ankara that Britain and Turkey were in complete agree ment on “Balkan problems,” there were few diplomats in the Balkans who were willing to wager that Turkey would oppose any German entry into Greece through Bul garia. Most diplomats expressed belief that Turkey would remain within her own frontiers and fight only in the event her borders were vio lated. From all sources the word was the same: Bulgaria’s number was up. Diplomatic dispatches from Ru mania told of mass movements of German soldiers in full battle kit through the blocked-off streets of Bucharest, less than 50 miles from the Bulgarian border. The direction of the movement was not stated, but diplomats need ed no clairvoyance to deduce it likely was southward toward the Danube, where Nazi pontoon bridges already have been erected and tested from the Rumanian shore. Sofia was like a besieged city, surrounded by policemen and cut off from communication even with its own provinces. With the brief lifting last night of the ban on outside calls, there came news—tinged with forebod ings—of long talks between Pre mier Philoff and King Boris and between Philoff and the Russian, Turkish and Italian ministers to Bulgaria. It was reported officially that the Bulgarian cabinet met in a hasty night session following a 30 minute special assembly of the parliament. Other reports here said Bulgari an air defense corps had been fully mobilized. Another dispatch said Bulgarian army units were moving through the country, principally towards the Turkish border. Other Sofia information said two Bulgarians employed at the Greek legation had been taken into cus tody in a series of wholesale ar rests which included numbers of unidentified British subjects. Britain and Turkey, in the face of fast-developing events, present ed at least outwardly a united front. They stood on their an nouncement of a complete identity of views after having examined all eventualities — presumably in cluding a German push through Bulgaria into Greece to the Medi terranean. A matter for speculation was the part that Bulgaria’s well - adver tised ambitions for an outlet to the Aegean sea was playing in the drama of the Danube. Observers also pondered on whether Adolf Hitler definitely had decided to dis-engage his Italian allies from their ill-faring war with the Greeks 3”. Albania. Neutral military experts here agreed that such a move might well mean that Germany has aban doned hope of a blitzkrieg windup to the war with Britain. 1 BRITAIN GETS NEWS LONDON, March 1 (Saturday) —((PI—Reports from Belgrade that Bulgaria has signified her intention of becoming a “junior Axis part ner” were received here with equanimity, well informed sources said today. Britain is interested in “actions rather than gestures,” one source said. “A particular point that is watched with the closest attention! BRITISH DESTROY ITALIAN PLANES English Score Extraordi nary Air Success Over Albanian Battle Front ATHENS, Greece, Feb. 28.—(A1)— British planes shot down more than 30 Italian warplanes over the south ern Albanian battle front today without a single loss to themselves, the Greek command announced to night at the close of four months of war. This extraordinary aerial success —the biggest victory ever reported for a single British sqadron in the Greek-Italian war—was said to have paralleled local successes for Greek ground troops. Italian tank attacks were repulsed, the Greek command reported, and one tank was destroyed. The British had announced earlier that 26 Italian planes—in formation much bigger than the RAF attack ing unit—were known to have been destroyed and that nine others were crippled. SUBURBAN SEWAGE CHANGE IS REMOTE (Continued From Page One) quest by Forest Hills home-owners that the municipality include the suburban Oleander sewer system in the municipal system. The de cision was based upon a negative recommendation by James E. L. Wade, city commissioner of pub lic works, who did, however, offer the alternative recommendation that the city permit Oleander to connect with the city sewage sys tem on a service fee basis. Whether or not Oleander's 60 home-owners—themselves along ways from the source of the odor 01 which Forest Hills residents ob ject—will want to meet the cost ol paying for a connection at the city limits with the municipality’s sew age system, and the additional monthly service charges is un known. A spokesman for the Ole ander home-owners, appraised of the city’s decision, said he knew of “no good reason” why property owners of the district should assess themselves to eliminate a condition not bothersome to them. The Oleander sewerage system, he pointed out, meets every re quirement of state and consolidat ed city-county health board. “The sewage disposal plant was in operation long before Forest Hills began building as a residen tial district; and for at least 20 years the residue waters of the disposal plant has been overflow ing into the creek near Forest Hills. Weekly, and sometimes often er, the health department has in spected the overflow to ascertain purity of content. That an odor is present cannot be denied; but the presence of an odor, as the health department reports show, does not indicate pollution,” he said. Insolong as the Oleander dis posal system is adequate for the district’s needs, and meets health department requirements, the spokesman said, there “h little likelihood” of the property owners there approving the added expense entailed ii the city offer of a serv ice-fee-basis connection. Commissioner Wade, amplifying his department’s recommenda tion to deny city absorption of the Oleander system, said he was op posed to availing the city’s sewage system to Oleander, or any other suburban district beyond the city limits, on any basis other than a monthly service charge. “1 am advised that there would be a serious legal doubt as to whether or not the municipality could absorb, and hence maintain, a sewage system beyond the city limits. If Oleander wants to con nect to the city lines at the city limits, and pay all costs of t h e connection, together with a regu lar monthly service fee I believe the city will do business; other wise, not,” the commissioner said. 4 TRAIN-CAR CRASH TAKES FOUR LIVES (Continued From Page One) train was approaching the highway crossing, about a half mile from Watha. There were no signal warn ings or watchman at the crossing. The bodies of the four were taken to the Q ’inn and McGowan funeral home at Warsaw. Funeral services are to be held for all four Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Complete arrangements for the funerals had not been made last night. The accident occurred about 8:30 o’clock this morning. , The three adults are survived by their parents, Mr. and Mrs. rise Teachey, three brothers, Elbert Teachey, J. W.

The announcement listed more than a score of occupations asso ciated with shipbuilding and stated that men engaged in any of them for not less than a year in the last 15 years are to register • between March 17 and March 19. The only exceptions are men al ready engaged in shipbuilding or in the armed forces. Even men al ready engaged in government work other than shipbuilding, must reg ister. FRENCH SILENT ON JAPS* ULTIMATUM (Continued From Page One) ficials later this morning to which French and Thai mediation dele gates would be invited to hear the French explain their silence. But first the Japanese officials needed their rest. They had kept the lights burning unavailingly in to early morning at' the squat, weather - beaten frame building which houses the foreign office in the heart of Tokyo, where they saw midnight come and go. Hours before explanation time it became apparent that no French reply would be forthcoming. For all that was known, the French ambassador, Charles Arsene Hen ry, who normally would have pre sented the reply, was home abed. Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuo ka himself did his waiting at home. First Test What is occurring is the first test of the East Asian leadership assigned to Japan by the three power pact with Germany and Italy Apparently the French, for the moment at least, had found the price too high in Japan’s so-callad final compromise offer to settle the territorial dispute between Thailand and French Indo-China. The Japanese proposal, de scribed as a halving of Thailand’s original demands for 60 per cent of the Indo-China provinces of Laos and Cambodia, was said to be the minimum acceptable to Thailand. The French had counter-proposed to cede about one-tenth of the original claim and to restrict the cession to Laos, along the Mekong river in northern Indo-China. Thai land contendr that the French stripped her of traditionally Thai territory between 1893 and 1904. The nature of future Japanese action will depend on r.n analysis of the French explanation, expect ed today at the foreign office con ference. A cabinet spokesman said the possibilities were “too delicate a question” to discuss. Competent circles expressed the opinion that no “forceful action” would come before the 400 - odd business and professional men and other civilians have been removed from Indo-China. This evacuation, already under way, is scheduled for completion March 7. On that day also the twice-pro longed armistice in border war fare between Indo-China and Thai land will expire. 1 PRECAUTIONS ORDERED SAIGON, French Indo-China, (6:10 P. M.local time—6:10 A. M. E.

Guards were posted about the Continental hotel, where the Jap anese armistice supervisory com mission is staying.

(The official German wireless said these reports “were not cot - firmed, but neither were they ex pressly denied,” and called attec tion to “vague replies” at to foreign office as to whether Europe could expect a “quiet political and diplomatic week end.”) Authorized military observers commented that the high com mand’s announcement of 29 ships sunk or damaged in two days meant German marine and air services have inflicted a “fourth great convoy catastrophe” on Brit ain in a short time. a F.
