Committee To Lay Plans For Equal Dock Charges (Continued from Page One) Warehouse company who had asked A 88 per o*nt increase in R. H. Hoke’s Port Charges Tariff, ICC 834, for all Virginia and South Atlantic Ports other than Gulf|ort, Miss., and New Orleans, La. The case, which was first heard before the Commission in 1943, is known as ICC-Docket 29003, Jack sonville Port Terminal Operators association versus Alabama, Tenn. essee and Northern Railroad and subsidiary roads. South Atlantic port terminal operators have been using the rates given in Tariff ICC 834, which is a railroad rate, and had asked for that rate to be increased on charges “their operating expenses had increased.” The rates, which applied originally for railroad handling, had been used by them as a uniform rate for the handling of cargo from warehouse to ships tackle amounting to .77„ cents per ton. A discussion on the subject In Savannah yesterday brought out the fact that Jacksonville’s charges differed from other ports. The rate — used at the Municipal dock is a graduating one amounting to one cent a day per gross ton for the first ten days, dropping to one half cent for 11 days then back to the original one cent. Barge rates are five cent per gross ton. At the present time Jacksonville dock is the only South Atlantic port having a dockage charge. The conference also brought out the question "are rates keep ing coastwise operators from re suming service.’’ _ Jerry W. Carter, chairman of the Florida Railroad Commission, charged the railroads are "trying to lull the people to sleep” on the question of resuming coastwise chipping and advocated the forma, tion of a national federation of ports modeled along the lines of the American Association of Rail roads. ,, , It was brought out that a. priv ate barge operator was desirious of instituting barge service if sur plus tugs and barges were made available. A committee was named to study the matter of an extension of barge line service to South Atlantic and Florida ports.

TRUMAN SUBMITS PEACE PROPOSAL (Continued from Page One) look into the two-day strike of 263, 000 packinghouse workers and con. fer with the principals. In the steel dispute, where 800,000 CIO workers have called a strike for Monday, President Truman conferred earlier with his steel fact-finding board. Congress, meanwhile, took two bladed aotion to stem the mounting industrial strife. The House Labor committee decided to complete action by Tuesday on fact-finding or some other type of labor legis lation, and in the Senate, Senator Eastland, CD-Miss) submitted a motion to discharge the Labor com. mittee from further consideration of fact-finding legislation. East land's motion, to be considered at the next session, would permit Sen. ate debate on the fact-finding bill without delay. Other developments along the labor front included: 1. Albert J. Fitzgerald, president of the CIO United Electrical Work ers union, whose 200,000 members struck yesterday, told the Senate Labor committee he was willing to accept arbitration from scratch, without regard to wage offers in other industries or his union’s original demand for a $2 daily wage increase. 2. Thirteen Senators wrote to President Truman urging that the Office of Price Administration be ordered to seize and operate mid west truck lines which have been tied up 60 days bv a driver’s strike. 3. Representatives of six inde pendent unions met in New York to discuss strike action which a union spokesman said might cripple Western Electric company’s facil ities throughout the country and result in another national tele phone tieup. DELAYED BY STORM, SOUTH EAST READY FOR FLIGHT TODAY (Continued from Page One) tional permission to use Bluethen thal by the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners Monday. W. C. Teague, company presi dent, had planned to fly the inaug. ural flight out of the huge airport, but with the change in plans caused by the weather, it is not certain that he will be captain on the first flight. “HAIR OIL” HELENA, Mont., Jan. 17— Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D Mont) told Montana dairymen to day that much scarce American butter had been sent to foreign consumers, “some of it was used for hair oil.” Lady Godiva took her famous ride in Coventry. England. STOCK MARGINS NOW ON FULL CASH BASIS BY RESERVE ORDER (Continued from Page One) recourse left to the board except possibly to order that all existing margin accounts be placed on a cash basis and make some of the administrative provisions applying to banks more rigid. He said that to whatever length the board goes to dampen spe culative activity, it would be de sirable. a “As I have frequently sosght to emphasize in the past,” he said, “the primary source of the inflation danger which overhangs the domestic economy on all fronts is the vast accumulation of cur rency and bank deposits at the disposal of the public as a result of the fact that far too much of the cost of the war was financed through the creation of commer cial bank credit and not enough was financed out of taxes and the savings of the public.” Eccles said that while credit for the market and other purposes had been curbed right along through the war it was a minor and not a major factor in the'inflation pic ture. He added that while credit curbs are justified for any restraint they impose on speculative activities, they cannot reach the real source of danger—huge amounts of money already created through bank credit. In calling for further curbs he repeated previous assertions that the. rate of capital gains tax, or the holding period or combination of both should be increased sub stantially. He pointed out that such in creases would not affect the pur chase of capital assets which have been or are being bought for per sonal use or long term investment rather than for speculative rise. EXPORT-IMPORT BANK GRANTS CHINA LOAN FOR COTTON BUYING ‘ ■ ; . V V WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. —(TP)— The Export Import Bank today for mally announced approval of a $33,000,000 credit to China for the purchase of raw cotton here. As in the case of cotton credits for European countries, the interest rate will be 2 1-2, per cent, but be cause of the time required for both ocean and niternal Chinese trans port, the new Chinese credit will require repayment within 24 months after the arrival of the cot ton abroad. Instead of 15 months as in the European credits. The bank said in a statement that reestablishment of the manu facture of cotton cloth by the Chinese will tend to reduce the present call on the United States through the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration for shipments of woven cloth to China. Reemployment of Chinese workers will still further reduce other relief needs, the bank added. for his family from one of the barracks buildings he’d got from Ft. Fisher. Yesterday, shortly after noon, he had to go to his new job on the dredge. There was no way for him to go but for Mrs. Brewer to drive him there. Lennon, baby of the family, was sick in bed, threatened with pneu monia. But Brewer had to go to work and Mrs. Brewer had to drive him. So they decided to leave Joyce irt charge of the house and Lennon. About three o’clock the new heater got red hot. From it the house caught fire. Joyce dragged Lennon out of his bed. She dragged him to safety out of the burning house. The house burned to the ground. Lennon was in his night-gown and barefooted. But Joyce had to get him somewhere. So she walked with him, barefooted, to Stacy’s Tavern, a mile and a half away. There, Mrs. Mary Glenn, sister of Mrs. E. W. Stacy whose husband operates Stacy’s Tavern, put Len non to bed aild gave him some medicine, hoping to stave off the effects on his threatened pneumonia of his mile-and-a-half barefoot trudge. When the house burned the Brewers lost all their furniture and all their clothes—and, of course, the house. There was no insurance. Good neighbors last night, be fore even the smoke stopped curl ing up from the ashes, began tak ing groceries to Broughton’s Ser vice station near where the Brewers lived. They also carried shoes and clothing. These were turned over to the Brewers. And those same good neighbors began a movement to build some sort of shelter for the Brewers until Mr. Brewer gets the chance to start all over again and build a new home for his family. NATION WELCOMES WARMER WEATHER (Continued from Page One) City 27, St. Louis 23, Des Moines 19 and Minneapolis 14. „ HIGHWAYS OF STATE ALL IN OPERATION RALEIGH, Jan. 17—(JP)—North Carolina’s system of main and secondary highways continued in operation today despite the heav iest snowfall the state has experi enced in several winters, highway officials reported tonight. Only one main highway was known to be definitely closed to traffic, while several of the main arteries were cleared of snow and ice to permit regular through traf fic. State highway patrol headquar ters said that U. S. 64 east of here to Wilson and Rocky Mount was closed early today when several heavy trasnfer trucks “piled up” at the foot of a steep grade six miles from Raleigh. At least three trucks overturned in the snow after skidding on the slippery pavement going downhill. No one was hurt. Maj. H. J. Hatcher, commanding the patrol, said' all highways were passable with the use of chains, but the country roads within a 70 mile radious of Raleigh were "ab solutely impassable.” Highway commission headquar ters said detours had been placed on N. C. 70-A west of Raleigh to Durham, thus breaking traffic loose to all points in cent tral and western North Car olina. An alternate. new route—N. C. 70—to Durham was in operation but highway officials advised use of the old route be cause of the sand base. Hatcher said that, generally ! speaking, U. S. No. 1 from north to south was passable all the way through the state with the use ol chains, and that U. S. 15-A, an other southern route, was passa ble to Fayetteville, although ir bad condition. U. S. No. 301 from Weldon to Rocky Mount, Wilson, Smithfield and Fayetteville, was cleared of snow early today to per mit heavy military traffic. VOLCANIC SOIL GOOD Volcanoes, contrary to popular opinion, furnish some of the world’s most productive soil. Lava fields are rich in crop producing minerals from deep in the earth, where they had no chance to deteriorate. The earliest record of an “April Fools Day” was in England’ in j 1713.

American Legion Post No. 10 led off contributions within the city last night with a ’do nation of $25.00 authorized by Commander Donald King. The Star-News made a con tribution of. $10.00. TB ASSOCIATION ASKS COOPERATION (Continued from Page One) was applied. If he finds no reac tion to the test he advises repeat ing the test later on. If he decides there is a reaction in the skin, the result is declared positive, and the test is usually followed up with the chest X-Ray to determine the extent of illness of the lungs. The executive secretary pointed out that forunately not all of the “positive” tests mean disease, al though the positive reaction to the test means that somewhere, some time germs got inside and are still living. It was explained that the only effect the person will note from the test is a slightly raised red area where the test was applied. Even this vanishes in a short time ac-1 cording to experts making the tests. In recent years the skin tests have been given to members of the high schools mainly, however in some instances, Negro students of primary schools have received the tests. Public health nurses under the supervision of Miss Columbia Munds will administer the tests, according to Dr. A. H. Elliot, pub lic health official who said last night the department plans to make tests among students of the gram mar grades and compare he re sults with those of the same num ber of high school students for whom tests will be made. He said the nurses will give the tests to students at Tileston school during the latter part of this week and the first of February. The work will then be carried on among students of the high school. COl L TO STUDY T/ G OF CENSUS (Continued from Page One) action and called the special meeting. When questioned as to the nature of his proposed report, Nichols yesterday refused to make any statement. He would not say tfyat funds had been found, although council members last week gen erally conceded that the required $5,000 to $6,000 could be made available without necessitating any legal transfer.
