CONGRESS TALKS INCOME TAX CUT (Continued from Page One) Members filled in the gap with plenty of talk, about politics, Pearl Harbor, taxes, atomic bombs, full employment and job less pay. On pay for the unemployed: The President has recommended adding Federal money to state funds to pay up to $25 a week fci 26 weeks to jobless workers. But it looked like a fatal knock when George — the Finance com mittee is considering that, too said the plan was “just not work able.’’ He said it would conflict with laws of nearly half the states. He said these states would have to deduct from their payments whatever amounts the Federal government puts up for the unem ployed. Eut Senator Kilgore (D.-WVA) and legal talent of the Social Se curity Board said that wasn’t so. Kilgore contended if a state hands out the money, it can pay out Federal funds along with state funds and not deduct anything. The. ruckus went unsettled. The House Ways and Means committee, considering the same kind of bill, heard labor spokes men plunk for it. Nothing was . .ill. J oi+VlPr On full employment: The President has backed a bill before a Senate Banking sub-com mittee. If it became law, the gov ernment would survey each year employment prospects for the next year. If it thought there would be wide unemployment, it would rec ommend that business do some thing about it. If that didn’t work, it would rec ommend to Congress a public w'orks program, paid by the gov ernment, to supply jobs. Congress would have to say yes or no about spending the money. Atomic bombs: This wonder weapon whipped up support for a Federal research agency. Mr. Truman yants one. Senators Magnuson (D.-Wash) and Fulbright (D-ARK) backed the idea today. Two Senate commit tees are teaming up about October 1 to hear w’hat leading scientists think. Former Policeman Gets Conrt Hearing Today Preliminary hearing for former City Policeman L. R. Watson, will be held in Recorder’s court today. Watson tendered his resignation to Chief of Police Casteen Friday after being arrested Thursday night at 7 th and Castle streets on charges of drunk, and disorder ly, assault with a deadly weapon and assault on a female, according to police.

'r=“ 11 ’ Former servicemen needing le gal counsel on problems arising from a change to civilian life and in veteran’s affairs, may secure professional advice without charge, Donald King, commander of the Wilmington post of the American Legion, said Friday. Mr. King further revealed that competent advisors will be on hand at the Legion Home to help veterans. He pointed out that the “service men’s Rights and Benefits,” • a booklet compiled by the federal government, provides that “legal counsel without charge is available to ex-service personnel through the state chairman of the American Bar association, or veterans may consult their local Selective Service board, Red Cross or Legal Aid Society.” The probable need for legal ad vice has been anticipated and means provided to meet it here. Servicemen wanting an attor ney’s counsel should contact the Wilmington Red Cross chapter, which serves as a referral point to the New Hanover County Bar as sociation. The Bar association, in turn, will refer the veteran to its members who offer free legal serv ices. Office of the -ssociation is located in the Trust building. It snouid not De necessary ior a veteran to pay for legal advice, since, in addition to the services proferred by the local bar associa tion, it is the responsibility of the Veterans Administration to insure justice for the returning veteran. There are exceptions, of course, to this general rule for handling veterans’ legal counsel; should an ex-serviceman be guilty of violat ing any of the local laws, or should he need extensive legal counsel on matters unrelated to his status as a veteran, then a lawyer employed by the veteran would be justified in charging his usual fee. However, for general advice on veterans’ af fairs, their claims, or their jobs, there is no justification in charging fees. Lt. Col. Charles Jonas of the State Selective Service office to day told attorneys in Raleigh that the Soldiers and Sailors’ Civil Re lief act had not lost its effective ness by reason of the cessation of hostilities. An amendment to the act pro vides that any serviceman or wom an may, within six months after he or she is discharged from military service, apply to a court for relief jin respect to any obligation or li ability “which he or she incurred ; prior to or during the period of I military service or in respect to iany tax or assessment which be i came due prior to or during mili tary service.” To meet the further needs of et erans that have arisen recently, Mr. King said, that a Wilmington real estate firm was furnishing the post with a series of answers to questions posted by veterans wno have sought advice about purchas ing property. This is being dene, he explained, in order to better equip the Legion to advise veterans about real estate transactions in the future. The OPA panel, announced last week by C. Van Leuven, chairman of the War Price and Rationing Board here, is similarly designed to acquaint the veteran with the details of price control and ration ing and to forestall any attempts to profit at the veterans’ expense. Should any difficulty arise in get ting his old job back, the veteran should immediately consult the re employment officer of his Selective Service board, whose responsibility it is to see that the veteran’s job is there for him. If necessary, the veteran can secure the assistance of the U. S. district attorney in pressing his claim. All the local agencies established to aid and counsel the veteran are coordinated under the Veteran's Service Committee, which was established by the federal and state governments as the clearing 1 ~ • for all veterans organizations. Ti.'s committee is headed by H. R. j Emory, with Fred E. Little as vice | chairman. TWENTY-TWO D E IN PUNE CR SH (Continued from Page One) toward the Florence base when for some unknown reason the plane plunged into the swamp, plowing a 50-foot wide path through the trees and undergrowth for a distance of 200 feet before exploding and making a funeral pyre of the bodies. EAL said there were ten civilians and nine soldiers aboard, as well as a crew of three. The other crew men were co-pilot R. A. Kelley and Gertrude Graham, flight atten dant. The civilian passengers were listed as: M. Sheinfeld and L. F. Cock burn, Miami; W. E. Gray, Stan dard Oil company Miami; Rob ert Stevenson and his mother, Mrs. G. G. R.

Pierce, who boarded the plane at Jacksonville. The names of the military per sonnel were not disclosed. The bodies, which were in a heap and burned beyond recognition, will be brought to Florence. They had not been removed from the scene this afternoon and a large tree lay across one woman’s body. The scene is 37 miles from the place where an EAL plane crash ed with an Army plane about two months ago. STRIKER TOTALS NOW OVER 111,000 (Continued from Page One) Other thousands were idle be cause of several continuing Detroit strikes, including 7,000 at Hudson Motor Car Company. In Akron, O., all operations of the B. F. Goodrich Company’s six plants stopped as 15,000 CIO United Rubber Workers remained out in protest against conditions de scribed by union leaders as “chaotic.” Another large strike, affecting 15,000 Consolidated Steel corpora tion workers in Beaumont, 7*ex., was reported settled and workers were expected to return Monday. The dispute started earlier this week. P0ISS0NELECTED STATE BAR HEAD (Continued from Page One) of an international character; (2) Adequate legislative machinery for bringing to bear the intelligence of mankind upon the solution of international problems; and (3) Adequate organization of the world's force for the preservation of peace and the enforcement of law. "The establishment of govern ment by law means more than the writing or adoption of a charter, Judge Parker said. “It means the breathing of the breath of life into the governmental structure — the development of standards and ideals as the guiding principles of the organization.” The lawyers of America, he said, have furnished outstand ng leadership at every crisis in our history. 4 * It is not important, I think,” he said, “that we write a Bill of Rights or a code of laws in the beginning. What is impor tant is that we have made a be ginn'ng and have set up a frame work of organization in which a structure of law can be developed by a process of natural evolution as reason is brought to bear on the world’s problems and relation shiDS.” Judge Parker’s address was a feature of the Association’s annual banquet, climaxing the meeting. The session today was opened with an address by the Association s president, Irving E. Carlyle of Winston-Salem, who advocated a progressive program of legal edu cation in North Carolina to bring the teaching of law and the prac tice of law closer together in the experience of the student. Carlyle urged that accelerated programs of lfgal education adopt ed during the war emergency be dropped immediately, and asked that the bar and education unite in opposing educational shortcuts for admission to the bar. He said also that a sound program of legal education should be adopted 0 prevent too much emphas s upon specialization, which, he sai . “will weaken the profession .and undermine the broad, general base upon which it has always stood. Lieut. Col. Charles Jonas of the State Selective Service office told the attorneys today that the e fectiveness of the soldiers’ a n sailors' civil relief act has no been impaired by reason of toe en ing of the war. He discussed rea justment allowances and <;duci\' tional features of the G.I. Bill, an also spoke on the reemploym provisions of the Selective Ser Act. MACARTHUR ENDS LAST MILE BACK (Continued from Page One) motor convoy irom Yokohama at 8:50 a.m. A cordon of honor guards had been thrown around the Embassy and Chancellery grounds. The few Japanese on the streets stood in clusters along the route of entry. They looked impassively at the Khaki-clad Yanks. There was no demonstration. One unit proceeded to the Imper ial Hotel, overlooking Hibiya Park and posted guards at its entrances. It will serve temporarily as gen eral headquarters. At the Embassy grounds, Japa nese women had done last min ute dusting. Japanese civil police were spaced 150 feet apart and were wearing swords but no other weapons. McCain F uneral Set For Monday at Capital (Continued from Page One) needed it most. “As a magnificent naval leader he contributed beyond any mea suring to the victory we enjoy to day. “For myself I can only say that I have lost a great and good friend.” Capt. John Vann, personal phy sician to the 61-year-old McCain, declared “Admiral McCain gave his life for his country. He was suffering from complete fatigue re suiting from the strain of the last months of combat.” McCain was commander of the famous Carrier Task Force 38 whose planes knocked out 6,000 Japanese aircraft and 2,000,000 tons of shipping, including about 100 warships. McCain witnessed the Japanese surrender Sept. 2 aboard the U. S. S. Missouri in Tokyo bay, and arrived home only two days ago to visit his wife here before going to Washington for a new assign ment. High Nazi Prisoner Attacks Allied Guard (Continued from Page One) was called from Paris to examine the Nazi, who was not identified, a security officer reported to night. The officer said the guard was not injured, and identified the prisoner only as: “That so-and-so who’s crazy oi pretending to be crazy.” He said the attack occurred when the prisoner refused to obe} an order from the guard, whc moved toward the Nazi demand ing obedience. Then, the office: related, the prisoner attacked the guard, starting a scuffle and at tempting to pin him against the wall. “It was strictly a one-punct fight though, because the guarc took good care of himself,” the officer said. It was not disclosed what rub the prisoner refused to obey.

S. naturalization procedure by members of the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps, stationed at Camp Davis, according to Jennings Otts immigrant inspector. Mr. Otts advised that the Ma rines were in the service of their government, and therefore would be compelled fro leave the United States and re-enter with proper immigration visas, obtained from an American counsel, in order to be considered for citizenship of this country. The immigration in spector 'said that as long as mem bers of the Dutch Marine Corps were serving their country as members of the Netherland Armed Forces, they were not in the U. S. under immigration laws. Although the train of immi grants to the United States is ex pected to be increased at a time following the cessation of hostili ties, Mr. Otts said that he had received no official information from the government as to any new quotas. Unofficially it has been reported that American citi zens who were visiting in foreign countries at the beginning of the war, would receive top priorities on transportation back into the U. S., followed by the movement of wives and families of U. S. servicemen. Mr. Otts pointed out that many naturalized Greeks were visiting relatives in their native land when the U. S. entered the war, and now are awaiting transportation back to this country. Of course, members of the U. 3. armed forces and U. S. nationals will be first on the list to be trans ported back to this country, it is believed, but Mr. Otts had been provided with no official informa tion pertaining to this question, he indicated. Mr. Otts said that the largest number of immigrants to enter Wilmington were Greeks Dutch men and Germans. He pointed out that for many years there has been no steamship line serving Europe from Wilmington, and that immi grants landed at New York, where they moved to Wilmington by train and bus. At a recent meeting of Greeks of the Wilmington district of the Greek Orthodox church, it was disclosed- that there were more than 1,000 Greek families in the Wilmington district, all of whom have arrived since 1900. The number of German, Dutch and other naturalized citizens in this area was not available. Surrender Ceremonies To Be Chinese Show NANKING, Sept. 7— (.T> —The formal surrender scheduled here i Sunday of Derhaps 1,000.000 Jap anese troops who invaded China in campaigns for empire will be a [ “100 per cent Chinese show” with , Americans remaining in the back ground, U. S. Brig. Gen. H. L. « Boatner said today. American transport planes still were winging in with troops of China’s Sixth Army, and it was this problem of rushing in troops to I take over the flag-bedecked prewar capital that has delayed the sur render ceremnies, deputy com mander of the Chinese combat command explained.
