TWO—A SOLONS PUT UD ON LABOR BILLS WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 — VP) - Congress today put the lid on new labor legislation for this week, and kev legislators said it probably wili be^ mid-February before major action is taken. Following the pattern set yes terday by its Senate counterpart, the House Labor committee voted against considering new labor bills now and called for resumption of hearings on a broader basis in Jan ^President Truman had asked specifically for passage by Christ mas of legislation setting up fact finding commissions to recommend solutions for major industrial dis putes. . . . The House committe s decision foi delay was by a unanimous vote. It came after rejection by a 10 to 7 count of a motion by Rep. Fisher (D-Tex) to meet again Monday to ballot on the President’s proposal. While the latter vote was not a direct one on Mr. Truman’s plan, Fisher told newsmen he offered his motion “in order to get an ex pression from the members on how they stand on the presidential sug gestion.” In a statement issued later Fisher said the effect of the committee’s action is to ‘‘kill the bill.” Another committee member said privately "this means Mr. Tru mans idea is definitely out the window.” All labor witnesses heard this week have assailed it, while management representatives have recommended many changes. Acting, committee chairman Ramspeck (D-Ga) said in an inter view that he had hoped for action before the first of the month. ‘‘But some members wanted to fili buster.” He added that if committee members insist on broadening the inquiry and hearing a large num ber of witnesses as indicated in the postponement resolution, it will be six or eight weeks before final action is taken. Likewise Chairman Murray (D Mont) of the Senate labor commit tee told reporters yesterday that his group will hold hearings for at least a month when they are re sumed in January, with at least 100 witnesses wanting to be heard. TRUMAN TELLS CHINA TO END CIVIL STRIFE (Continued from Page One) nal affairs of other countries. He spe^i ically promised that: ‘•'un ted States support will not extend to United States military intervention to influence the course of any Chinese internal strife.” But the modern world knows, he added, that “a breach of the peace anywhere in the world threatens the peace of the entire world.” The President said this country would leave details of steps to ward internal unity up to “the Chinese themselves.” He said in tervention by this or any other Foreign contry ‘‘would be inap propriate.” E t he made it clear that China need not expect U. S. Economic h ir her reconstruction ordeal unless she “moves toward peace a. i ity along the lines” he sug ges.ed. If C ana does make progress to ward Democratic unity, the Presi dent said, “the United States would be prepared to assist the National government in every reasonable way to rehabilitate the country, improve the agrarian and industrial economy, and establish a military organization capable of discharging China’s National and international responsibilities for the maintenance of peace and order.” If the Chinese accept his de mands that they stop fight ng eacf other and achieve unity withir the National government. Mr. Truman continued, * the Unitec States: “Would be prepared to give favorable consideration to Chi nese requests for credits anc loans under reasonable condition! for projects which would contri bute toward the development o a healthy economy throughou China and healthy trade relation! between China and the Unitec States.” In connection with his promise not to intervene militarilty ii the Chinese Civic war, the Pres: dent emphasized that this country would continue .to use its military strength to disarm and evacuate Japanese troops and make certaii that “Japanese influence in Chin; is v'-ollv removed.” “This,” he said, “is the purpose of the ma'ntenance for the time being of United States military ane Naval forces in China.” Mr. Truman said that in broad ening the government to includ communist and other represent;: tion, China would have to ebang the one-party system it has fol Towe in recent times. \ “It is recognized,” he s-"V v “that this would require modif: cation of the one-party 'politicE tutelage’ established as an intern arrangement in the progress c the Nation toward Democracy b the Father of the Chinese Reput lie.

JUNIOR VARSITY WINS CHAPEL HILL, Dec. 15—(/P) Dayvault accounted for 11 poin tonight as North Carolina’s junii vars’ty turned back the speci troop S of Camp Butner 56-20 a basketball ^preliminary to tl Vt sity’s Southern conference co te with Davidson last night. 4 CIO ASKS BRITISH LABOR REGIME TO ENTER CM STRIKE (Continued from Page One) confirm or deny Thomas’s figure of 434,000 shares. The British official gave this explanation of how his govern ment acquired control of the stock: During the war, it took over all American assets from Brit ish subjects. It paid them in sterling for these assets. Some were sold. Some, turned in af ter the sales, were kept. Of the latter, the greater part was put up as security for a loan from the American Reconstruction Finance corporation. The block of General Motors stock Is in cluded in the assets that weren’t sold. Spokesmen at the British treas ury and foreign office in London said no one in authority would be available to comment on Thomas’ letter before Monday. The surprise move by UAW ex ecutives followed repetition of their assertions that General Motors has refused to discuss profits during current btrgaining with the union. The company said Friday that 64 of its 79 plants are closed as a re sult of the strike with 162,273 union i_ _• J1 _ WUlAtli) ivuv. Thomas said he was confident the “present management” of General Motors ‘does not reflect the think ing of the vast majority of the owners of the corporation,” and added: ‘And above all we are certain that it by no means reflects the attitude and opinion of the British labor government, a substantial owner of General Motors shares. “For thit reason and because a statement by the labor government of Great Britain would be a wel come demonstration of the solid arity that binds together the work ing people of all nations, we are hopeful that you will be able to make known to the management of General Motors corporation your belief that profits • are indeed the concern of the workers and the owners of tny company.’’ Thomas’ letter to Attlee, a 700 word document, came as General Motors and the union were prepar ing for apperances next week be fore President Truman’s fact-find ing board which is to inquire into the dispute. Several representatives of both General Motors and the UAW-CIO will appear at the Washington hear ing. The union’s strike over its demt nd for a 30 per cent wage increase within GM’s strike over its demand for a 30 per cent wage increase within GM’s present price structure has idled approximately 200,000 workers. forts Authority Asks FWA For Survey Funds (Continued from Page One) from the Federal Works Agency meets with my entire approval and satisfaction, and I hope that it will be possible for such funds to be made available. Includes A11 Ports In making the announcemen' Mr. Page stressed that the surve. would include all North Carolina ports and would not be centered on any certain one. He pointed out that all efforts to advance North Carolina’s ports depend on the grant of the $90,000 for the survey. In case it is not granted, the Authority will be under no obligt on to either the Robert of Harris firms as the preliminary expenses of their work will be advanced by the federal govern ment. Their surveys wiU include thorough studies of North Caro lina’s potential tonnage and reve nue, including those out-of-state areas in Virginia and South Caro ; lina within its ports service areas. They will also determine the i amount of money needed to con . struct proper port facilities to put North Carolina on a par with other Atlantic seaboard states in bid ding for commerce. If the grant is made and the survey completed, the Authority’s next step will be to obtain the necessary funds to carry out its program of port development anc improvement. Under terms of the 1 act which it functions, this may be done by either a direct grant from , the federal government or through ; the Reconstruction Finance Cor I poration or through the sale o: self-liquidating bonds. Mr. Page said tne most advan ; tageous of either of these avenue: - of revenue will be followed. Undei s the terms of the Authority act - the state may purchase the bonds as well as cities and counties. In view of the fact that it is on< - one of the first major steps of thi 1 Authority to develop the state’: i ports, every effort will be madi f to obtain early favorable action oi r the application, now before th< proper officials in Washington. Mr Page discussed the matter yester day with Representative J. Bayan 1 ‘-lark, of the Seventh congressiona 1 district, who promised his full sup - port in expediting it through th, proper channels in the FWA or ganization. Members of the Authority ar< - „ePa?e’ s- B- F^nk, Southport ;s S- Gibbs, Morehead City; W. O ir Huske, Fayetteville; A. G. Myers il Gastonia; and T. Henry Wilson n Morganton, W. A.

Coy Etheridge had put Smith behind bars under a $100 bond. . It happened like this: Smith reported to police that as he was crossing a street at Front and Walnut streets, a big truck, occupied by three Negroes, struck him and skinned three knuckles on one of his hands. The Negroes, Smith said, appeared to be drink ing. Lieut. Etheridge heard Smith’s complaint. What he did then is recorded in the police blotter notation: “This department held warrant for complainant on a charge of larceny and receiving and false pretense. He was arrested and placed in jail on default of $100 bond.” HESS’ PROPOSALS WERE ULTIMATUM (Continued from Page One) tic plane flight from Munich, and a foreign office official who flew to Scotland to question him. Anthony Eden, then British for eign' secretary, revealed the Ger man terms to a secret session of parliament on Sept. 22, 1943, and subsequently a broad outline of their nature was made public. The United Press informant said Hess explained the object of his visit to the Duke- of Hamilton and the foreign office representative in three interviews on May 13, 14 and 15, 1941, immediately after the pa rachute landing in which he in jured his leg. He informed the British, how ever, that his plan must be consid ered by some other government than Winston Churchill’s. Hess list ed Churchill’s removal as one ol the essential points of the offer. “Churchill, who planned war since 1936, and his colleagues who lent themselves to his war policy, are not persons with whom the fuehrer would negotiate,” Hess said. Then he submitted his six-point offer: 1— Germany to have a free hand in all Europe. 2— England to retain her empire, with the exception of all former German colonies, which were to be returned to Germany. 3— Russia was to be considered an asiatic country, although Hitler had “certain demands” to make on the Soviet Union “which woulc have to be settled either by negotia tions or as a result of war.” Hess amplified that point witt the assertion that there was nc truth to the rumors that Germanj contemplated an early attack or Russia. Actually, the Nazi inva sion of Russia began little mori than a month later. 4— Britain was to evacuate he: troops from Iraq, in effect givinj Germany a free hand in the middle east and access to the Persiar Gulf. 5— Reciprocal indemnification o British and German nationals whose property had been expropri ated as a result of the war. 6— Churchill’s government to be -•enlaced by another before any o: leace proposals were consider ecL City Briefs BUS, CAR COLLIDE R, E. Jenkins, 8A3 Uushur Drive, Maffitt Village, last night was operating a taxi south on Front street, police said, and had stopped for a traffic light when his car was struck by a Safeway Transit bus driven by J. C. Thomas, 112 Lake Forest Parkway. Police said a wet pavement caused the accident. MINOR DAMAGE Slight damage to both vehi cles resulted when cars driv en by W. E.

JAPANESE PRINCE COMMITS SUICIDE (Continued from Page One) pressed since he was named in the war criminal list of Dec. 6. He had been the target of blister, ing editorisl criticism in newspap ers and speeches in the diet, which pointed out that he was equally guilty with the former Premier Hideki Tojo for plunging Japan into the war. Konoye, 54, was a member of the Fujiwara family next in rank to the imperial fsmily and has been referred to frequently to Allied documents as “Effet, a voluptuary, lazy and cynical.” He was a member of the Jap anese delegation to the Paris peace conference in 1919. From 1931 to 1933 he was vice president of the House of Peers. He formed his first cabinet in 1937 and subsequent ly headed cabinets in 1940 E nd 1941 when war preparations were al their highest pitch in Japan. He wes known as the ‘‘Breaks of precedents,” first because hi entered politics regardless of hii high birth and second when he re jected the premiership in January 1940, after the resignation of thi ABE cabinet. He pleaded inex perience in economic affE irs and th necessity for a new leadershap. Adm. Mitsumasa Yonai was sub sequently appointed. It was after the Army withdrew its support of the Yonai cabine that Konoye reversd his positioi 1 and accepted the premiership ii August of 1940.

Stevenson speaking for Edward R. Stettinius, U. S. representative to the United Nations organization, told the delegates: "Much has been said about the effect on American public opinion of having the organization outside the United States. But we must keep alive the vital interest .of people everywhere.” G. I. RACE MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 15. — (JP) — “G. I. Joe” was a nickname, then a movie and now it’s a horse race.
