IWO__ SCRIBE ADVISES TENT FOR TRIPS (Continued from Page One He was telling me! The first hotel I tried in Savan nah was a modest establishment ehosen in the hope that accomo dations would create no strain on the travel budget. The seventh, and last approach ed before we slunk out of town, was a gilded caravanserie where I pleaded in reckless desperation "Not even a bridal suite?” The journey north from Savan nah was punctuated by stops at every tourist camp (“Good heavens, we rent the cabins by the month now!”) and tourist home (“Sorry, we were filled up at four o’clock this afternoon.”) That showed a light. Discouragement was complete in Walterboro. The clerk shook his head and motioned toward a dark ened corner: "There are our last arrivals.” Two men, snugly bedded down on lobby couches, were snoring out a basso due. Snortly aner aawu, »» **— south of Raleigh, N. C., we ran out of gas—in front of a gas sta tion, fortunately. Head on steering wheel, I snoozed for an hour be fore the attendant arrived. It #:as the only respite in 1,400 miles be tween Miami and New York, Then I slept two days. On the return trek to Miami, hotel hunting started around mid afternoon. I haunted lobbies, con sulted policemen, inquired at drug stores. "Lady, I couldn’t tell you where to find an empty easy chair, much less a bed,” said a restaurant cashier at Rocky Mount, N. C. "To bacco sales are on. 'The town’s booked solid.” The 36 consecutive hours of driv ing southward was broken by a 15-minute nap in front of a Day tona Beach, Fla., drug store. Who cared about lodgings then? After all, it was a comparative stone's throw—250 miles—to Miami. WEDS WEDNESDAY HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 12.—(^P)— Shirley Temple will be married next Wednesday evening to Sgt. John Agar of the Army Air Forces. The ceremony, to be performed at the Wilshire Methodist Church by the Rev. Willsie Martin, will be a simple one. Shirley’s brother, Jack Temple, will be best man and his wife, Miriam, will be matron of ■mnor. High school classmates of 17-year-old actress will be • emaids. ' .

Other Wilmington coal dealers and myself have bell that the step was a logical one in view of the lifting of other restrictions.” ‘‘While coat will not be plenti ful,” he said, “there will be an ample supply _ for everyone’s heating needs.” STRIKE CUTS OFF RADIO PROGRAMS (Continued from Page One would strike 30 days from now. This notice wasin accord with the provision of the Smith - Connally Act. “However, in direct violation of the statements in this telegram the union engineers at 6 p.m. EWT, quit their jobs.” The union statement from Wash ington quoted A. T. Powley, union president, as saying that at the last negotiations conference this after noon the companies questioned au thority of the bargaining authority of the bargaining committee (headed by Powley) to represent the membership, “after having re jected ail wage demands of the union.” “Because of disrupted communi cations,” NBC said, ‘it was im poss ble to determine the exact ef fect of the walkout. NBC said its service was being received in Was'nigton, Chicago and Denver but had no reports from other cities.” AIRPORT PROGRAM GETS SENATE 0. K. (Continued from Page One after adoption of an amendment by senator Taft (R-Ohio) trimming the Federal authorization from $100,000,000 a year to $75,000,000. Sixty-five per cent of the money would be apportioned for smaller airports and 35 per cent for larger ones in city areas. All the Federal money would be channeled through the state governments. If the House upholds the Senate in allowing only $75,000,000 a year, instead of $100,000,000, a complete new survey of construction needs must be made, a CAA spokesman said today.

HODGE PLANNING OUSTER OF JAPS (Continued from Page One tion. Moreover, they said, they have begun storing guns and am munition which could be used in an uprising once American occupation forces are withdrawn. Hodge made it plain that he was not yet in a position to adopt an armed Japanese soldiers still in the U. S.-occupied portion of Korea and only some 16,000 American in fantry trooops on hand. With the American occupation in only its fifth day. after 36 years oi Japanese domination, Hodge was clearly apprehensive that sudden removal of civil authority might lead to rioting and chaos. He said the Japanese government of Governor-General Noboyuki Abe, although remaining in office for the present, would not be permitted to take any independent action with out the sanction of U. S. military authorities. Although Japanese po lice local officials, judges and the central government was still in of fice, the U. S. military government already was being set up. Critical .Koreans complained that soviet forces on the north side of Ihe 38th parllel had disarmed all Japanese troops immediately and removed from public office, but they apparently had not taken in to consideration the disparity be tween the size of Russian and American occupation forces. The Japanese attempted to “buy off” a number of Korean national leaders before American occupa tion troops arrived, they said, and now have gone underground to maintain their political activities and place a strong pro-Nippon slate of candidates on the ballots in the first election. Another phase of the resistance movement, the Koreans said, is the attempt to disrupt Korea’s economy during the occupation. The Japanese-operated Korean bank flooded the market with paper money shortly after Emperor Hiro hito issued his peace rescript, they said. The Koreans asserted that mili tary stores were destroyed, rice was dumped into rivers and sugar was mixed with sand in an attempt to bring about an immediate food crisis to start the occupation off badly.

WILMINGTON MAY HOUSE SHIPPING (Continued from Page One southern shipyards, free from ex cessively bad winter weather, will doubtless receive first considera tion. A report on the North Carolina yard is expected to be submitted to the Maritime commission for consideration in the near future Officials of the commission, in their statements yesterday, stressed the fact that no decisions as to the selection of any yards have been reached. The costs of preparing the storage facilities, as well as the natural advantages of the location, will be the impor tant factors in determining the selection of a site. Politics, it was added, will be a neglible factor and efforts to apply pres sure on the commission to obtain a storage base are expected to produce little results. Meantime, it was learned, the groundwork of seeking a storage project for Wilmington has been well laid and those interested in the undertaking are quite optimis tic, at the present time, regard ing its future. Decision to use the yards or allied facilities to lay up merchant shipping not needed in the peace time American Merchant Marine will also involve establishment ot drydocks at those sites selected. Whether they will be floating or permanent structures, as well as other decisions along this line, have not been reached. The dry dock question, however, it not expected to raise any particular difficulties for Wilmington, it was learned. xi a storage base is established here, several hundred ships would be tied up and their maintenance would require a force of consider able size. The total number ot ships the commission will lay up depends on two factors. First, the Navy wants some for its own use; second, the number in the present Merchant Marine to be sold under the provisions of a bill now pending in Congress has no) been decided. In addition, many ships built during the war will be scrapped because of excessive damage from combat or war re lated causes. In view of its record as an ex cellent shipbuilder, the North Carolina company is expected to receive more than average con sideration when the time comes to select the storage yards. One ot the nation’s two best builders of Liberty vessels, it has maintained this outstanding record of per formance in production of the modern, long-range C-2 type craft. It launched its 228th ship yester day afternoon.

This also happened: Government Corporations — The house passed a bill to put them under congressional control. There are 101 of them—such agencies as lh" Reconstruction Finance and Home Owners Loan Corporations. If the Senate passes the bill and the president signs it, and it looks as if they will, all the corporations will have to submit to an annual audit. Forty-one wil have to send yearly budgets to Congress esti mating how much money they need. Congress could okay, trim c. reject the budgets. Heretofore,' it hasn’t had the chance. And this happened: Wages—the House Labor com mittee plans a look next week at bills to raise the minimum wage. Chairman Norton (D-NJ) said she hopes for a boost from 40 to 65 cents an hour in the minimum now required of firms in interstate commerce. Elliott Roosevelt—Financial af fairs of the late President’s son will be put on display in a public report. So said members of a House committee investigating them. They are investigating because Elliott got a $200,000 loan from John Hartford, president of the Great Atlantic apd Pacific Tea company and Hartford claimed a tax deduction of $196,000 for a bad debt. The committee says it’s interest ed in protecting Federal revenue. LONGER SHIRTS COMING WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—(A>)— Long shirt tails are coming back. The War Production Board revok ed its order 1-169 which early in the war chopped about three inch es off the length of men’s shirts, limited them to one pocket and oth erwise eliminated most frills. WPB officials said manufacturers had been given permission to make shirts of a length that won't come creeping up around a man’s belt. Corporation income taxes col lected by states more than tripled between 1939 and 1945, reaching 1460,000,000 in 1945.

CHARITY SHUNNED BY ECONOMISTS (Continued from Page One He permitted the direct quotation. While no specific ^figures have been discussed, Keynes indicated that Britain’s economy needs a $3,000,000,000 to $6,000,000,000 stim ulus. Whether this aid would be sought as an outright grant or through some other arrangement remained to be worked out. There have been reports that one solution might be to readjust war costs so that the United States would share the costs which Brit ain bore from 1939 to 1941. This, according to the reports, would be predicated on the theory that the United States should assume some of those costs as repayment to Britain for holding the fort against the Axis. . Keynes, questioned about tms, said it would be up to the United States to decide. Mac Arthur To Broadcast Orders By Loudspeaker JOHNSVILLE, Pa., Sept. 12. (lj.R)_The Navy announced today that giant loudspeakers had been installed in three four-engined “Privateer” bombers to enable Gen. Douglas MacArthur to give occupation orders directly to the Japanese people. The 500-pound public address systems are capable of producing sufficient volume to allow the hu man voice to be heard over an entire city from great height, the Navy said. The loudspeakers were developed by Naval aeronautical engineers and the Bell Telephone Co., ana installed at the Naval Air Mate rial Center here. The planes were sent to Japan several days ago, the Navy said. More than 15,000,000 pounds of hydrogen peroxide were produced in the first half of 1945 in the Stat es.

In an order of the day to his troops, read after the raising of the Union Jack while bands play ed the British, American, Dutch, Chinese and French anthems, Mountbatten told his men they had inflicted six times the num ber of deaths they had suffered, and expressed his “gratitude and pride.’’ At Least Three Dead When B-17 Hits House LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 12. (U.R)—At least three persons were killed late today when a B-17 Fly ing Fortress crashed into a house near Adams Field, in the outskirts of Little Rock. The dead were said to be Ne groes. Two other persons were taken to a Little Rock hospital in critical condition. Army officials refused to say whether any of the plane’s occu pants were killed or injured. Apparently the plane overshot the field in an attempt to land, and crashed through a fence and electric wires before striking the house.
