167 WITNESSES CALLED IN CASE AT GREENVILLE Roderick Davenport Faces Trial On Banking Law Charges GREENVILLE, Feb. 3.— (ft — One hundred and state'* witnesses and a 60-man venire have been instructed to P pear in Superior court here tomor rcw for the opening of the trial of Roderick Davenport and 17 asso ciates chi charges ranging from conspiracy to practice fraud to violate the banking laws. Davenport, under $7,500 bond, al legedly was the head of a large agency which the state charges borrowed money at five per cent interest a week and lent it at 10 per cent interst. The special court term to try the defendants was ordered by Gov ernor Cherry, who also instructed Judge J. Paul Frizzelle of Snow Hill to preside over it. The defendants allegedly operat ed extensively in Eastern North Carolina. Davenport has been under indictment since September 4, 1944. gobbIersmoving UP IN STANDINGS By The Associated Press (RICHMOND, Va.)- There was one major change in the Southern Conference basketball picture yes terday—Virginia Tech’s Gobblers were up in third place in the league standings trailing top-place Duke and runnerup North Caro lina and currently are the best de fensive quintet in the 16-team cir cuit. Coach George (Gummy) Proc tor’s Gobblers, possessing a record of four victories and one defeat, pulled up into the conference limelight the past week by slapping a double spanking on the Univer sity of Richmond and routing Vir ginia Military Institute. The Gobblers, who have a poorer scoring average than either Duke or North Carolina, are a shade ahead of the leaders in the de fensive parade. In five games, the Blacksburg cagers have held their opponents to an average of 31.4 points a game. Their own scoring average in conference competition is 43.4 points. Duke and North Carolina were still running a very close race for the league leadership. The Blue Devils have won 10 and lost one, while the Tar Heels boast a record of nine triumphs and one loss. The second-place Tar Heels have a better scoring average than the Duke’s and at the present are set ting a blistering pace with a 58 point average, whi'-i is pretty fancy basket shooting in anybody’s league. Duke’s average is 50.2 points. North Carolina’s opponents have been able to make 35.6 points a game on an average, while Duke’s defense yielded 33.3. Points average. After Duke, North Carolina and Virginia Tech, there’s nobody else with much of a chance to come out on top unless you would cate to waste a little money wagering on Citadel, now in seventh place with one victory and one licking. All of the rest of the teams have lost more than once except Washington and Lee, so far without a confer ence start.

LADY’S STOMACH WAS LIKE A GAS FACTORY; MEALS TURNED TO GAS One lady said recently that her stomach used to be like a “gas factory!” That is, when she ate a meal it seemed to turn right into gas. She was always bloated, had awful stomach gas pains, daily headaches and constant irregular bowel action. Now, however, this lady says she if FREE of STOM ACH GAS and she says the change is due to taking INNER-AID. Her meals agree with her. No gas or bloat after eating. Headaches and constipation are gone. “Oh! what relief!” states this lady. “Why don’t other gas and constipation sufferers get INNER-AID.

Jones lives with his wife in i house which officers said is isolat ed from neighbors during th< winter months. The men visited th( Jones house during their absenci and ransacked it for valuable: which they took back to their hide out. They found a German Luge: pistol and a 22 rifle in the hous< and about 500 rounds of ammuni tion. . , . While examining me Forbes was shot through the hanc causing it to bleed, this the fel°n: banda-sed with first aid facilities which they had stolen previously. After carrying their loot to then hide-out, Millis and Forbes return ed to the Jones residence anc waited outside until they returnee home. "It’s A Holdup" When the Jones’ came home anc found their house had been enter ed, they prepared to return tc Hampstead and notify authorities but as they walked out to get intc <heir car, Millis and Forbes whe had been hiding behind the Jones car pulled their guns on them anc told them to put up their hands. “It’s a holC-up give us youi money,” the men told them. Jones and his wife emptied then pockets and purses and gave the robbers a total of $40,31, aftei which the Jones were held at the point of the guns for about an houi while the bandits decided whal to do with them. Then Millis and Forbes decided they were hungry for some good home-cooking which they demand ed Mrs. Jones to prepare, includ ing hot biscuits. The bandits also brought one ol their guns back from their hide out and demanded Jones to repaii it. Jones was not familiar with gun-smithing, but in a short period of about three hours he had re paired the gun, a 22 target model. Then the bandits demanded Jones to drive them to Hampstead which he did, Mrs. Jones accom panying them. Rowed Across Crossing the Sound presented a problem to the party as the bridge was up. So the men demanded Jones take his boat and row them across, a distance of approx imately a mile after which thej forced Jones to take his true! parked 500 yards away and brin* them to Hampstead. Near Hampstead the two bandit! decided to walk the rest of the waj and alighted at Colon Padgett’ i house and proceeded on foot.

If the suitcase or trunk was damaged while being opened they would burn it and any of the contents they were not able to use, they claimed. The items of luggage were sold to several innocent parties while others were sold to Wheeler who re-peddled them, it is claimed. The hopes of those persons who were robbed of their baggage should not rise too high, police of ficials explained, for in many cases the contents are not to be found. In reporting the case the de tectives pointed out that some of the more expensive items, such as suits and coats, might be identified by laundry marks. Police have requested all per sons who have lost baggage in recent months, either through the medium of the local bus station or under other circumstances, to re port those loses to city authori ties. According to police this Is the second ring that has been broken up in Wilmington, charged wife the same operation. William Green, Negro, was arrested several months ago in connection with the theft of some $3,000 worth of lug gage. He is now serving five years on fee charge. City Detectives Hayes, Wolfe, Teague and Murray worked on fee case and made the arrests leading to fee breaking up of the ring. Hines is being held under two warrant for embezzlement; Wheeler is charged with receiv ing, with Townsend, Patterson, Merritt and Burke being charged with larceny and receiving. LEADERS PREDICT OKAY OF PAULEY (Continued from Page One) nated Pauley. In view of the 1 Ickes-Pauley cattle which was easily foreseen, some observers ! thought the President merely may ! have been paying a political debt. But Robertson pointed out that, 1 regardless of political beliefs, - Pauley is “an able man.” L Regarding the conflict between Ickes and Pauley he said that the ! hearing has turned into “a demo 1 cratic row.” He added that "it 1 has brought to light serious dis 1 cord among higher-ups in the ! Democratic party.” What effect Pauley’s confirm ation, when and if it comes, may * have on Ickes’ future remains to 1 be seen. It appears certain that ■ the self-styled “Old Curmudgeon" > had willingly picked another of his 1 famous fights. But this time, some i observers believed, he may be on : the wrong end if Mr. Truman is ’ serious in Pauley’s nomination. 1 They pointed out that if Pauley ■ should become Secretary of the Navy upon James V. Forrester* 5 resignation, Mr. Truman might 1 have two of his cabinet members s at sword points. They said thal i Ickes, one of the few members - left over from President Roose velt’s cabinet, might be asked to > leave. JAPAN CALLED IN TO KEEP D. S. OUT (Continued from Page One) “No one else has been informed jf the confidential nature of these regotiations—not even the Italiar Ambassador in Berlin nor the Jap anese Ambassador. I believe this alliance can be concluded within the next week tc prevent the entry of America intc the war.” He said Hitler was “favorably inclined” and had authorized him to conclude the pact. Ribbentrop admitted that Rus sia “certainly will not be en chanted at conclusion of the pacl with Japan at first. But he dis counted any real objection. “I do not believe the Axis treaty will drive Russia into the arms of America or Great Britain be cause (Premier Josef) Stalin told me that Russia is fed up with shedding blood for France and England,” Ribbentrop said. MURRAY ASSAILS ANTI-STRIKE BILL (Continued from Page One) either labor or management and ban use of organized boycotts tc force terms, and •rermit wider use of court In junctions in labor disputes. Murray’s letter to Speaker Sam Rayburn of the House urging de feat of the measure was part ol the biggest mail and telegram storm to hit capitol hill in months. Members questioned said mosl of the missives came from labor sympathizers. Backers of the Case measure, however, continued to predict that the bill, or a reason able facsimile of it, will be passed, probably by Wednesday. Murray contended the bill would revive labor injunctions, outlaw any form of strike aid, and rob workers of protection under the National Labor Relations Act. Further, he asserted, it imposes compulsory arbitration. FIRES IN CITIES TAKE LIFE TOLL (Continued from Page One) and spread almost at once to all portions. twelve injured when FIRE SWEEPS HOTEL CHICAGO, Feb. 3—(At—One man was suffocated and IE persons were Injured in two fires which swept through three floors of the Congress Hotel, on Michigan ave nue today. Fire Marshal Anthony J. Mul laney estimated damage at $35, D00 and said the origins were un determined. Frank Van Hoesen, 35, of Roche ster, N. Y., official of a paint and wall paper company, was suffo cated in his fifth floor room in the hotel’s south building, shortly after the first fire broke out at 6:44 a. m. Hotel officials said the second fire broke out on the 12th Qoor at 11:64 a.m. In the scramble to escape from their rooms, many of the hotel’s 2,000 guests dropped out of win dows to lower level roofs, fled down fire escapes and jammed elevators. Employes struggled to rouse guests, many of whom were sleeping when the first blaze was liscovered. TWO FIREMEN KTT.T.ETI IN BOSTON BLAZE BOSTON, Feb. 3.—(U.R>—Trapped beneath debris when a roof caved In, two firemen were crushed to death and six others injured to day while battling a tliree-alarm blaze in the century-old Irish American Club building, a South Boston landmark.

STEEL MOVE (Continued from P»fe One) with no settlements in sight, other new walkouts threatened to add to the current total of 1,380,000 idle in labor disputes. At St. Louis, an enforced holi day for 90,000 public school pupils was thought likely to result from a strike of 400 school custodians set for 7 a. m., today (Monday.) Dr. Herbert Winterer, president of the board of education, said the 141 public schools would not open today if heat was not available. The custodians, members of the AFL Custodians and Matrons un ion, seek a $20 monthly pay raise. Brass Workers About 2,000 employes of the American Brass company at Buf falo, N. Y., went on a scheduled walkout Sunday midnight, joining more than 20,000 members of the CIO mine, mill and smelter work ers union in a strike against the brass industry’s “Big Three.’ The big three are the Scoville Manu facturing company, the Chase Brass and Copper company, and American Brass. At San Diego, Calif., the CIO Aircraft Machinists union planned a strike today of 3,561 employes of the Consolidated Vultee Aircraft corporation. The union wants a 10 per cent hourly “stop gap” wage raise pending final contract negotiations. Kansas City had labor troubles, too. There six major milk dis tributing companies are threaten ed with a strike by the AFL Milk Drivers and Dairy Employes un ion. Union members voted to —^4-_4-V% /m’-w rtnntpa/*l oY> pires at midnight Thursday. However, the union said the dairies would be struck singly to insure a continuous supply of nailk. Time for the walkouts was undis closed. Operators reported the union was asked a wage increase averaging 29 cents an hour more than was paid under the 1945 con tract. "Outside Government" A White House official announced that President Truman plans to call in men from outside the gov ernment to discuss the steel strike and other economic matters this week. The President was reported to be preparing to announce a steel price increase which some quarters believe will open the way to revision of the national wage price stabilization policy and end wage-price disputes in the steel, electrical and other major indus ies. Usually well-informed sources place the price rise at between ?4 and $5 a ton. The President’s Steel fact-finding panel reportedly will hold that this is more than enough to compensate the steel companies in return for raising striking work ers 18 1-2 cents an hour. Both developments, if they ma terialize, could mean a readjust ment of the administration’s hold the-line policy which probably would have to be extended to oth er trouble fronts. Some responsible officials contend there is no other way to end the steel walkout and clear the way for settlement of other vital strikes, including that of 200,000 electrical workers. The “entire situation” was can vassed in talks between the pres ident and his top economic advis ers Saturday. The official said, adding there were “no conclusive results.” Meeting with Mr. Tru man were State and Treasury Secretaries Byrnes and Vinson, both former directors of War Mo bliziation; Price Administrator Chester Bowles and Reconver sion Director John W. Snyder. Another White House visitor Sat urday was Charles E. Wilson, pre sident of the strikebound General Electrical corporation. W il s o n later told reporters he had given Mr. Truman “some suggestions as to wages and prices” looking to ward a settlement of the strike of 200,000 CIO United Electrical work ers against GE, Westinghouse and General Motors. But he did not divulge his suggestions. Optimism Drops Labor department officials in Washington were reported to have dropped their optimism about a quick settlement of the General Motors strike by 175,000 CIO auto workers. Federal Conciliator Jam es F. Dewey planned to bring the parties together in Detroit again this afternoon. But during the week end he reported the negotia tions were lagging. Secretary of Labor Schwellen bacfa may get a report today from the meat fact finding board. This group has been investigating the strike of 263,000 AFL and CIO workers which resulted in govern ment seizure of the major packing houses a week ago. NON-LICENSED WORKERS TIE DP PORT OF MOBILE MOBILE, Ala., Feb. 3.— (IP) — Virtually all shipping in the port of Mobile was tied up today when non licensed employes of a towing company stayed off their jobs, ac cording to Capt. Wilmer Miller, vice-president of the Mobile Tow and Wrecking company. . J. Williams, Gulf representa tive of the Seafares’ International union (AFL), placed number of employees at about 35 and said die Towing company had refused to recognize the union as a bar-, gaining agent for its non-lieensed personnel.

UNO SITE CHOICE STIRS RESIDENTS (Continued from Page One) treat for many wealthy New York city businessmen. Throughout ti.“ afternoon, arous. ed owners of estates that would be swallowed up in the international zone, gathered in small groups at private homes to discuss what, if anything, they could do to fore stall loss of their land and eventu al eviction. Although Governor Raymond E. Baldwin of Connecticu* said he was "highly pleased” that the area —a 42-mile tract of rolling coun tryside—was recommended and Stamford’s Mayor Charles E. Moore said he was happy about the choice, on strjeet comers, in drug stores( hotel' and other public places. The site committee’s rec ommedation was a heated topic oi conversation. One Greenwich official who de clined to be quoted by name said residents of the Long Island Sound area were delighted with the news, but residents of the rolling back ground were aroused, fearing they might lose their beautiful homes. Clifford Wilmot, Greenwich town assessor, said "we are old Yan kees up here. We believe in the constitution and we live up to it. Neither our town officials nor the property owners were consulted in any way. We made no overtures for this thing at all officially. It just doesn’t seem right for them to come in here and take our homes.” . Wilmot said he was compiling figures on the tax loss to the town of reenwich for submission to a protest meeting of the town coun cil Tuesday night. He declined to estimate the amount involved. But other sources said the real and personal property involved had an assessed valuation of $30,000, 000. At nearby Stamford the town council scheduled a protest meet ing for Tuesday night.
