Arthur (Artie) Perry, 13-year-old
gen of Mr. and Mrs. Albert F.
Perry, 107 Mimosa Place, was
critically injured last night at 6:15
o'clock when the bicycle which he
was riding, was struck by an auto
mobile.
He was taken to James Walker
Memorial hospital where attaches
said late last night that he had no
recovered sufficiently from shock
to give any definite report on his
condition.
The accident occurred one mile
east of Oleander Courts apts., on
the New Wrightsville highway. The
car which struck the Perry boy,
was being operated by Harmon
Farrow, Route 2, Wilmington, of
ficers said.
The Perry boy who was accom
panied on another bicycle by Oliv
er Hirtaff, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs.
Oliver Hutaff, 109 Mimosa Place,
suffered a broken right arm and
richt leg and compress fractures

of the State Highway department,
Farrow said that the boys were
aooarentlv traveling east, and that
when he first saw them the Perry
bov who was riding to the rear
was placed so that the front left
fender of his machine struck young
Perry, knocking him from The bi
cycle.
'Young Perry also hit the head
lamp, and the impact on the wind
shield knocked a hole in the left
side. The bicycle was crushed un
der the car.
Farrow is also reported! to have
slated that his car was operating
at about 35 miles an hour speed
at the time of the accident. He
said that when the car struck the
Perry youth, he swerved it hard
to left in time to avoid injury to
the Hutaff boy.
The bicycle on which young Hu- j
faff was riding, was struck by the
car. Farrow stated.
Passengers in the Farrow car
said that another car facing them
caused poor visibility.
Farrow received a deep lacera
tion on his chin, supposedly caused
by broken glass from the wind
shield.
No arrest was made.

PROBE REVEALS
SHORT REPORT
_ __ *5
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—(U.R)
Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short, 1944
Army commander in Hawaii,
thought the first bomb dropped by
Jap raiders on Pearl Harbor was
a Navy exercise, but the second
one convinced him “something
was seriously wrong,” it was dis
closed tonight.
Short’s testimony before the Ro
berts commission, and the sepa
rate inquiries conducted by spe
cial Army and Navy boards, —
not before disclosed—told his story
of the disaster, and his disclaimer
of responsibility for unprepared
ness when the sneak attack came.
The voluminous reports were
made available today to the joint.
Congressional Pearl Harbor in
quiry, although Short, now a major
general and retired, has not yet
been called to testify.
Short disclosed that when the at
tack took place at 7:55 a.m. Hono
lulu time, Dec. 7, 1941:
‘‘I was in my quarters. When I
heard the first bomb explode, I
thought that the Navy was prob
ably carrying out some exercises
that either they had not told us
about, or that I had forgotten
about.
‘‘When the second explosion took
place, I was out on my back porch
where I coul<J get a look a'
Harbor, and I saw smo’
and I came to the cor A* <
something was serio-' “ ^ A*
“The chief of *■ -pr >i
next door, ran i. ^9" -oor
and called to me of* , it is
the real thing. We *, "^just had
a message from HickmA\ Field.’
“That was probably two or three
minutes after 8 when he came in
and notified me. By 8:10, all major
Echelon commanders had been
told to go into alert number 3, and
everything was under way. The
first plane of the enemy, I think,
was brought down at 5 minutes
after 8. So you can get an idea of
the length of time it took to ge't
into action.”
Short said the anti-aircraft had
skeleton crews at all of their guns.
The three-inch guns had ammuni
tion available 55 yards away. Four
batteries were in position, but they
hgstitated to leave their ammuni
tion in the open while the raid was
on.
As soon as the atttack took place
Army intelligence (G-2) and the
FBI began rounding up enemy
agents, Short said. They rounded
up 370 Jap agents, 98 German and
14 Italian. They could not find four

Galloway, Representing Lo

tend Washington Meet
“Wilmington may become a
“trial community” under the Blue
Cross plan, Ray Galloway, execu
tive director of the local Ameri
can Legion, wired the Star last
night from Charlotte.
This information came follow-1
ing a meeting in Charlotte yester
day at which time Galloway met
with members ©!, the State Medi
cal Society, state Legion officials
and members of the Veterans Com
mission. •
Galloway explained a meeting
will be held in Washington, prob
ably later in the week, with Vet
erans’ Administration officials at
which time he, with two members
of the State Medical Society and
Wiley Pickens, director ofv the
State Veterans Commission will
ask for immediate action on the
proposed plan.
The meeting was attended by
Dr. Oren Moore, president of the
State Medical Society; Dr. O. L.
Miller, member of the society and
president of the National Orthope
dic Association and Dr. Preston
White, also a member of the so
ciety.
Also, attending Were Robin Kir
by of the state commission, Brown
Wilson, Gastonia, vice-commander
of the state Legion, Pickens and
Galloway. The meeting was held
in the home of Dr. Moore.
According to Galloway the meet
ing was a complete success with
all present being in accord with
the proposed plan for medical
treatment and hospitalization of
veterans.
The group is requesting immedi
ate adoption of the proposed plan
in North Carolina with Wilmington
being used as a “trial center.”
It is the plan of the group to
confer with Major Gen. Paul R.
Hawley, acting surgeon-general of
the Veterans Administration, who,
in a reply to the local Post’s pro
posal of the plan Sunday said he
would welcome an immediate
meeting with members of the
group.
The local Legion, through Gallo
way and Don King, commander,
contacted Gen. Omar Bradley, di
rector of the VA last Friday night
with the proposed Blue Cross plan,
asking that Wilmington be used as
a trial community for the plan,
which they suggested, could be
.ised under a state-wide setup.

iCITY UNAFFECTED
BY HOUSING BILL
H. R. Emory, executive director
of the local housing authority, said
last night that enactment of legis
lation authorizing the National
Housing Agency to spend $160,000,
000 to provide temporary housing
for veterans would have no effect
on the local housing situation.
When President Truman signed
the housing legislation yesterday,
-he authorized the National Housing
administrator to acquire all surplus
housing owned by govenment agen
cies and transfer them to localities
where veterans are in heed of
housing.
“We have 1,275 demountable
housing units—800 in the Vance
section of Maffitt Village, and' 475
in Lake Forest—but they are not
surplus units. All of them are
filled and we have a long waiting
list,” Emory said.
Because the legislation includes
only an appropriation for purchase
of housing units which can be
transferred to needy sections,
Emory said it “will not 'have the
slightest effect on this housing
authority.”
Under the bill, which President
Truman signed while aboard the
presidential yacht, Williamsburg,
the Federal Government will reim
burse cities, states, towns and uni
versities which already have bought
government-owned housing units.
Before housing can be declared
surplus, a large percentage of the
units must be vacant. Present
capacity tenancy in the demount
able units, only units affected by
the legislation, also rules out any
possible effects of the new law,
Emory added.

FIRST PEACETIME
BINGE SINCE 1941
WILDEST FOR V. S.
■■
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—(U.R)—
fl' « wildest, noisiest and cost
New Year’s Eve celebra
Z* aO wept across the Nation to
with New York’s famous
limes Square bursting with a
mass of delirious humanity as
it never had before.
More than 2000 policemen
were on hand in the Square to
keep the revelry—first New
Year’s peacetime binge t’r,ce
1941—In check.
Wet weather here aiid snow,
and slush in many cities . tiled
to dampen the roaring welcome
for the New Year,
And in keeping with the wea
ther.
The merrymakers were run
ning up probably the greatest
drinking tab since the end of
prohibition. New Yorkers by
the thousands paid $10 to $35
in advance for the privilege of
sitting down in a smoky night
spot—with no drinks oh the •
house.
A new night club opened for
a near capacity house with the
minimum tariff at $15 a couple.
From glittering, packed
Broadway to Chicago’s loop
and San Francisco’s Market
street, cash registers of night
clubs, bars and just plain sa
loons played an accompani
ment to hilarious voices and
blaring horns. Usual OEA ceil

VETS PROTEST
. STUDENT FEES
Local Ex-Servicemen Brandi
Tuition Charge At UNC
A* “Inequality”
Four Wilmington veterans whose
combined service with various
branches of the armed forces totals
almost nine years last night pro
tested what they termed “inequali
ty in tuition fees of the Univer
sity of North Carolina.”
Pointing out that, their education
as returned veterans is costing
more than if they had entered as
students without war services thg
four expressed their Conviction that
the situation was being duplicated
in state universities throughout $he
nation. -
As returning veterans their edu
cation is paid for by the so-called
G. I. Bill of Rights. Under the bill
each returning veteran is allowed
$500 for tuition, and $65 jjer month
for living expenses. _
.However, sincq their tuition and
expenses are .being paid by Jhe
federal government their fees Are
more than that of a native of
North Carolina. Under the classi
fications adopted by the university,
natives of the state pay a fee 'of
$26 per quarter, natives Of states
with which North .Carolina has re
ciprocal agreemfents, $58 a quarter
and all other students, $96.
“Because our fees are paid by
the federal government,” one of
the veterans told the Star, “We
are charged the highest figure
even though our parents have liv
ed here all their lives and have
paid taxes to help support the
university.”
All four said at the rates demand1
ed by the university it would be
impossible for them to gain their
education without some form of
aid.
“We know it is legal,” another
of the veterans said. “Under the
provisions of the bill there is
nothing we can do, but we express
our disfavor of a policy that pen
alizes a man because he served
his country.”
The four veterans who made
their protest to the Star were:
Charles T. Jordan, graduate of the
New Hanover High schol in 1942,
22, of 123 Brooks avenue'; Kenneth
R.’ Bland, graduated from NHHS
in 1942, 22, of 209 Dock street;
Charles E. Sasser, 19, graduate of

$$,900,000,000 Tax Re
duction Measure Becomes
Effective To Millions
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81—(?) —
Wage earners get a "pay raise”
and big business a windfall tomor
row ,wheji new tax cuts become ef
fective.
Under the $5,900,000,000 (B) tax
reduction bill passed in November,
both big and little taxpayers bene
fit and about 12,000,000 people
with very low incomes stop paying
any taxes.
The tax collector will claim a
smaller chunk of the incomes of
the 35,000,000 to 38,000,000 individ
uals left on the tax rolls. So ex
tra dollars will start appearing in
paychecks received on or after
New Year’s day—even though the
pay is for time worked in 1945.
For example, under the reduced
tax rates, a man with no depend
ents. who makes $50 a week has
had $8.20 withheld for taxes. This
weekly deduction will drop to $6.80.
Persons in higher wage brackets
arid those not subject to withhold
ing will feel the difference when
they file statements of their 1946
taxes and' make their quarterly
payments which-are due March 15.
The new law, first general tax
cutting measure passed by Con
gress in 16 yerirs, is designed to
reduce taxes of individuals by $2,
644,000,000. (B). Repeal.of the au
tomobile and boat use taxes in
June will add another $140,000,000
of relief.
At the same time, lower cor
poration tax rates and repeal o
thp excess profits tax are expectei
to reduce business taxes by $3,
136,000,000 (B.)
The excess profits tax, which ex
pires at midnight tonight, was
imposed before Pearl Harbor anc
by 1943 had risen to a flat rate o:
95 per cent. More than $28,000,000,
000 (B) has been collected througl
it.
! It was imposed' to prevent busi
ness from getting rich out of the
war and applied only to corpora
tion earnings above “normal” as
computed op a 1936-39 average
The corporations tomorrow rever
to paying only' the regular cor
poration tax of 38 per cent. Thus
industry can keep a much biggei
slice of its profits.
The treasury tomorrow alse
starts paying out $1,112,000,000 (B;
in excess profits refunds by re
deeming non-interest, non-nego
tiable bonds. This represents onlj
a part of the total to be refunded
Tax refunds will be available tc
all industries that suffer losses or
operations in 1946 and to those
which paid excess profits taxes ii
they show smaller profit in 194f
than they averaged from 1937-39,
with certain restrictions.
It is possible, therefore, that the
Treasury may have to pay out
money to reduce losses of some
firms which may suffer losses
from strikes.
Hope has been expressed that
another $5,000,000,000 may be lop
ped off individuals’ taxes next
year, although wars generally have
left taxpayers saddled with per
manently increased costs of gov
ernment.
Hirohito Tells Nippons
He Really Isn’t Divine
By RALPH TEATSORTH
United Press Staff Correspondent
TOKYO, Tuesday, Jan. 1.—(U.R)—
Emperor Hirohito told his 80,000,
000 Japanese subjects today that,
contrary to what they have been
taught all their lives to believe,
ho is not divine.
In his first major imperial re
script since the occupation of Japan
began, he repudiated as a “false
conception" the belief, embodied
in state Shintoism and fostered
by Japanese militarists, that the
emperor is a divinity.
“The ties between us and our
people have always stood upon trust
and affection,” he said. “They do
not depend upon mere legends and
1 myths.
“They are predicated on the
false conception that the emperor is
divine and that the Japanese people
are superior to other races and
fated to rule the world.”
The emperor also admitted frank
ly that Japan had lost the war.
“We feel deeply concerned,” he
said, “to note that consequent upor
the protracted war ending in oui
defeat, our people are liable tc
grow restless and to fall into a
slough of despond.” He warned
against a spread of “radical ten
dencies.”
In calling upon his subject? tc
forget their “master race” ideas
he summoned them to work to
ward a “throughly” pacific Japar
and toward a "love of mankind.”

Steel Union
Sets Walkout
For Jan. 14
700,000 AFFECTED
President Asks OPA To
Determine If Price In
creases Are Justified
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—(U.R>—
President Truman tonight appoint
ed a three-man fact-finding panel
to investigate the wage dispute in
the steel industry and ordered the
Office of Price Administration to
determine if any price increases
are justified.
Moving to avert a walkout by
the United Steel Workers (CIO) in
their wage dispute with the United
States Steel Corp., the President
asked the OPA to report by Feb.
1, so that the findings of his steel
panel can be made public by Feb.
1. The union has scheduled a walk
out for Jan. 14.
The OPA is authorized by the
President ■ to review current steel
prices to see if any increases
would be “proper.”
Benjamin J. Fairless, president
of U. S. Steel, has refused two invi
tations from labor Secretary Lewis
B. Schwellenbach for conciliation
conferences, saying it was “futile”
to discuss wage demands without
a guarantee of price increases to
meet any pay boosts granted work
ers.
Appointed to the special panel
were:
1. Associate Justice Roger I.
McDonoUgh of the Utah Supreme
court, who has served on railroad
emergency boards in the past.
2. Chief Justice James M. Doug

3. Nathan P. Feinsinger, former

ed a basic wage increase of $2 a
day. Negotiations broke down last
[October and U. S. Steel has refused
to renew them until a price guaran

The nation’s other 1,400 steel

the $2-a-day increase demand. The
wage pattern for the industry us

11946PaintedRoseate Hue
! By Leaders In Wilmington
By JOHN SIKES
Star Staff Writer
The dawn of the New Year wasn’t
observed by most of us this morn
ing, just as it hasn’t been observ
ed by the most citizens of the world
for the passed 1946 years.
Mid-morning today, however,
will doubtlessly be observed by a
large group making creaking obei
sance to the medicine cabinet. This
group will resolve, with a plaintive
moan, never to be forced to look
for bromo and aspirin again. Statis
tics show these resolutions some
times outlast the f!zz in the bromo.
There are those here, however,
who do not resolve friolouslv and
who have made plans for the New
Year, plans underlined wnth sound
ness yet possessing the hopeful
i qualities of resolutions. Taking
them by and large, these plan*
and hopes comingle into a compo
site picture that is definitely bright
for Wilmington and New Hanover
county—and, Indeed! — for all o<
southeastern North Carolina for
1946. _
For instance, E. L. White, presi
dent of White Ice Cream and Milk
company, is hoping that the litua
tion which has caused rather leri
ous shortages in dairy product* In
the area for the past few years
may be eased during the coming 12
months. But White's hope is no idle
