UNO Delegates To Givi
Security Council Power
To Enforce Peace
By R. H. SHACKFORD
United Press Staff Corresponded
LONDON, Jan. 14 — Secretarj
of State James F. Byrnes called
on the United Nations Assemblj
today to create promptly a com
mission on control of atomic
energy and to give the Securitj
Council the force it needs to main
tain peace in an atomic age.
Calling the creation of the com
mission of atomic energy com
mission, as recommended at the
Moscow Foreign Ministers con
ference "a task of transcending
importance,” Byrnes said:
-Establishment of a commission
to deal with problems raised by
the discovery of atomic energy
is inseparably linked with the
problem of security. It is a matter
of primary concern to all nations.
We must not fail to devise safe
guards necessary to ensure that
this great discovery is used for
human welfare and not for more
.1_3i.. n-arfare if
"I hope that this Assembly will
approve promptly the resolution
proposed by my government, in
association with the United King
dom, the Soviet Union, China,
France and Canada so that this
commission may begin its work
without delay.”
Even before Byrnes spoke, the
Assembly formally put the atomic
energy resolution on its program
under item XVII—urgent matters—
which means that it will come up
for early debate.
Then it will be referred to com
mittee No. 1 on political and
security matters, with Senator
Tom Connally, D., Tex., represent
ing the United States.
Byrnes is expected to return to
Washington as soon as the atomic
resolution is approved.
During the Assembly session
American '• officials made known
that deputies of the Big Five
Foreign Ministers probably would
start drafting peace treaties with
Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary
and Finland this week.

MODOC TO RETURN
IN NEAR FUTURE
Confirmation of the return of the
U. S. Coast Guard Cutter Modoc
to Wilmington in the near future
came in a telephone conversation
with Commodore M. J. Ryan, dis
trict of.icer of the Sixth Naval dis
trict, in Charleston, yesterday.
The Modoc, long stationed here,
comes as near being a “land
mark” of the city as a ship can
be, and was formerly commanded
by Admiral Joseph F. Farley, now
Coast Guard commandant.
Subject of many war-time rumors,
sunk and resunk several times
by ‘ unoff cial’’ reports, the Modoc
is now on her peacetime Greenland
|ce patrol under Navy orders, but
is scheduled to be returned to the
Coast Guard by June 30, according
to Commodore Ryan, at which
time she will be restationed at Wil
mington.
Commodore Ryan disclosed that
by the end of the fiscal year, June
all operations of the Coast
Guard will have been reduced tc
peace-time proportions and Naval
control withdrawn.
Ano her matter, the disposition ol
be Coast Guard quarter boat sta
tioned here, has been recently re
opened, Commodore Ryan said,
and it is expected that final dis
position of the 155-foot vessel will
come soon.
The hull of the vessel, which serv
as Coast Guard barracks here
. urmg the war, was constructed
■P the old shipyards here during
orld War I, and is one of the
sw concrete ships still afloat.

VILLAGE BURNING
BLAMED ON “REDS”
By SPENCER MOOSA
AP Staff Correspondent
CHUNGKING, Jan. 14.—(/P)—A
Chinese government spokesman
accused the Communists today of
“enlarging rather than ceasing
their military operations” and of
putting the torch to many villages
in violation of the tru'Ce which be
came effective at Midnight Sun
day.
The Communists yesterday made
similar charges against the gov
ernment forces, and added today
that the Communist regions of
North China still were a double
ring blockade strengthened by
hundreds of newly-constructed
government block-houses.
The government has denied the
specific accusation of continued
advances into Jehol province, and
although observers at the current
political unity conference here ex
pressed some misgivings about
the charges and countercharges,
hope persisted that all remaining
clashes would cease soon.
Two theories were advanced
here for the alleged violations of
the truce—one was that the scat
tered forces had not yet received
the cease-fire orders, the other
that each side might be trying to
secure a little extra advantage
while it was still possible.
It will be several days befort
the three-man truce commission,
including an American, is in posi
tion to send inspection troops to
strategic points.
Today’s charge was made by
the spokesman for the National
Military Council.
He said that this morning, after
the deadline, Communists were
attacking National troops in An
yang, on the Peiping-Hankow rail
way; were on a “rampage” in
Shensi province, and were burn
ing villages all along the eastern
section of the Lunghai railway
which crosses northern Kiangsu
province to the Yellow Sea.
Meanwhile the unity conference
formally received the Chiang Kai
shek plan to broaden the base of
the government by including all
parties, then adjourned until Tues
a?v without acting on it.
There was no immediate action
on a Communist demand for re
lease of the so-called “Young
Marshal” Chiang Hsueh-liang and
Gen. Yang Hu-cheng.

in commenting on the nurse
situation here'.
"Inactive nurses have not yet

F W A Unit Recommends
Disapproval Of
Application
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—(Spe
cial)— Disapproval of the North
Carolina JState Ports Authority’s
application for a $90,000 advance
for a survey of the seaports in the
state was recommended today by
the control division of the Federal
SVorks Agency here.
Although previously approved in
ts engineering aspects, the $207,
!80 project met with disfavor on
policy grounds because it. dogs not
call for immediatt :eonste«6$qn
which would provide employment,
in FWA official explained. Also,
le said, the requested advance
would take nearly a third of the
>290,818 allotted to North Carolina
'or all its projects in the remain
ler of the fiscal year. “We think
t would be better to defer this
me until more money is available,"
le said.
“It is qualified under the law,
jut we feel the intent of the legisla
;ion is to get a back-log of work
-eady to take up employment, and
his project only calls for a sur
gery which would not lead to
construction in the immediate fu
ture.’’ For that reason, the offi
cial said a reduction in the amount
requested probably would not

BUSINESS DEFIES
FARRELL REGIME
Argentina’s Industrialists
Clamp Stranglehold On
Trade, Commerce
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 14—0?5)—
Argentina’s industrial and commer
cial leaders clamped a strangle
hold on the nation’s business activi
ty today in an impressive show of
civil resistance to the Argentine
military government’s labor poli
cies.
Not a wheel turned in any factory
and scarcely any store of import
ance opened. Small merchants, in
cluding grocers, fruiterers and
bakers joined large industrial firms
in the three-day lockout called to
protest wage increases and year
end bonuses decreed by the govern- 1
ment of Gen. Edelmiro Farrell ten .
days before the end of 1945.
The permanent committee of 1
businessmen, industrialists and:
manufacturers who called the lock
out disclosed that they first had ;
asked the government to suspend
for 90 days the execution of the 1
government decree.
This proposal was made, a com
mittee spokesman said, so that the
issue could be discussed after the 1
election of Feb. 24. It has been '
charged that the government’s de
cree was an outright bid for labor ‘
votes on behalf of the presidential j
candidacy of Juan Domingo Peron, )
Argentine strong man and former '
vice president. The government re- J
jected the businessmen’s proposal. '
Political observers said the lock- ‘
out was 90 per cent fefective ]
throughout the nation of 14,000,000
people. The streets of Buenos ■
Aires, usually jammed with shop- 1
pers, were virtually deserted. *
Only ice, milk and. meat deliver- 1
ies continued. Butchers said they 1
would join the lockout tomorrow. '
Open restaurants were a rarity, and (
taxi service was reduced to a mini
mum. Some drugstores functioned 1
on an emergency basis.
The government, which may I
order some services resumed on the 1
grounds that public health is men
aced, has assured the public that
no one would be deprived of

Along The Cape Fear
SHIPYARD RUMORS— An item
in the current, MARITIME RE
PORTS, quasi-official publication
of U. S. Shipping, may or may not
be misleading.
With rumors around the North
Carolin Shipbuilding company here
rifer than rivets, most any item
is pounced upon as a possible fore
cast of what is to happen to the
shipyard.
The general answer to all such
rumors seems to be that the yard
will close. Most forecasts place
the termination time around June
1, this year.
But, if anybody official knows
anything official there has been no
official announcement.
Thus the item.
FOUR MORE SHIPS?— The item
published under a general heading
about a large shipbuilding program
or the United States in 1946, is as
follows:
“The North Carolina Shipbuilding
company at Wilmington will build
six C2—SI—AJ4’s and four C2—b—
AJ5’s next year.
Although there are those not of
ficials—at the shipyard who, in
dulging ir^ a little wishful thinl -
t
ing, interpret this item as meaning
the yard will get contracts to i
build four MORE ships, the con- :
census—still unofficial—is this fi- ;
gure represents ships already j
built and now at the outfitting :
piers. ■
Certainly there seems to be no
reason for believing at this time !
any new contracts for the yard are .
presently forthcoming.

Seven years later, in 1739, the
name of the town was again chang

perhaps) Wilmington, in honor ,
