MORE ABOUT GM-UAW FROM PAGE ON* As the conference began this forenoon, Dewey told newsmen: "I expect us to wind up these conferences between now and mid night.” Asked to elaborate, he said he expected the company and union to "reach agreement on all issues, including wages Friday.” Eighth Straight Later, as the parley recessed for luncheon, the special mediator said he did not intend his earlier re mark to be interpreted as mean ing he foresaw a final settlement of the dispute by midnight. Absent again from Friday’s meeting — the eighth consecutive daily conference held by GM and UAW representatives—was C. T3. Wilson, General Motors president. His associates said he had not yet recovered from the illness tl»t kept him away from Thursday’s session. Dewey and UAW Vice-President Walter P. Reuther agreed, as Fri day’s parleys got under way, that wages and the unioif insistence up on a contract clause calling for promotions and transfers on a seni ority basis still were before the conferees. They were at odds, however, as to whether new issues had been ' • injected into the discussions. Dewey asserted several additional points had been brought up by the union; Reuther said no new issues had been advanced by the union. MORE ABOUT SOAP BOX DERBY ] FROM PAGE ONB end good sportsmanship among boys of the Wilmington trade area. Under the rules which will gov ern the Derby here, no car may cost more than $10, to build and no adult may assist in it’s con struction, except in an advisory . capacity. Restrictions will be placed on weight and ear dimen sions, and specifications must be adhered to as to size and type of running gear. Course Committee While details of the big All American Soap Box Derby trials here are still in the formative stage, committees will be named soon to select a suitable course of not less than 600 feet or more than 1,000 feet in length, arrange for all possible safety measures and take charge of the many other details which will be connected with the event. The Chevrolet Motor division of General Motors will supply a specially designed silver trophy to be awarded to the Wilmington dis trict winner, and two sets of gold, silver and bronze medals for local race finalists. Specially designed racing helmets will also be furnish ed to contestants on race days.

Ninth Running This will be the ninth running of the All-American Soap Box Derby and Wilmington will be one of the 130-odd cities which will furnish champions from which the cham pion of champions will be crowned at Akron in August. While further details on the big event here will be published from tme to time in The Star-News, all Wilmington district boys between the ages cf 11 and 15 years in clusive, are urged to get busy now ■in mapping plans for a car that will cairy the name of Wilmington to victory at Akron. MORE ABOUT ONIONS FROM PAGE ONE has been used up and this * year’s hasn’t grown to maturi ty. Texas Crop "The Texas crop should start coming in April 1,’* he said. "Meanwhile, I’m trying to get a few onions from Colorado, Oregon, and Idaho. Those are last year’s, and they’re just about gone. "I got one carload last week, hut that was a mere 30,000 pounds.’’ Thirty thousand pounds of onions may sound like a lot of onionsj bu you must consider that they were distributed among approximate^ 50,000 people in Wilmington, not t< mention all the people in New Han over county and other counties wh< depend on the Wilmington whole saler. It’s hardly enough to wet ai eyelash. Black Market Onions The other story—that there ari >r STORIES CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE | plenty of onions—was told by a local retailer. “I could get onions, all right,” he said, “but I’d have to pay $5 for a fifty-pound bag. You know, black market. ‘‘The OP Aceiling price for the farmer selling to the wholesaler runs around $2.20. To the retailer it's about $2.75. Now how can I buy 50 pounds of onions for $5, sell them at my retail price of about $3.50, and stay in business?” A magician, we suggested, might possibly help. "If the OPA would just ease up a bit and give the farmer a higher price,” he added, "the farmer would turn his onions loose. But the farmer would be losing money if he sold them at the present ceilings. And I don’t blame him.” So maybe there are some onions and maybe there aren’t. But the fact remains that Wil mington doesn’t have any right now. It's a crying shame, and it looks as though somebody doesn’t know his onions. * WUttJb AUOTI ALONG THE CAPE FEAR FROM PAGE ONE we have become emotionally ton gue- tied. SWEET MEMORY—This letter lays: ‘‘I have spent many a $2.50 'or a horse and buggy to take my girl to ride to Wrightsville sound. Ve also went on many a moonlight lay ride. "We went on watermelon parties oo, and held hands while we wait, sd for the toll-gates to go up. "I believe we had more real fun, ind affection for each other, than [he young folks have today. Any way the memory of those days is iweet.” • • • NO SINATRA?—Yes, those days must have been sweet. A wagon of iay in the moonlight. A buggy :runching over the white dusty shells in the noonday sun. And a watermelon at the end of the ride, to be cut in half and shared by the Doy and girl sitting side by side jn the bank with their toes slyly and timidly touching under the water. Was it really like that once? No mile-a-minute eight-cylinder dashes to the beach? No cokes and ham burgers gulped down in 10 seconds No bobby-socks? No Frank Sina tra? » * * THANKS TO ALL—Maybe we’re old-fashioned, but we’re thinking of buying an old buggy and a docile old horse to go with it and riding down the Old Shell Road some moonlight with our best girl. Were thinking of what Robert Browning, the poet, wrote about a bird. It goes something like this: "He sings each song twice over, as he never could recapture that Eirst fine careless rapture.” ^That’s what we are going to try to do. It’s high time all of us slow ed down a bit and started to live and love like our forefathers. Meanwhile, we want to thank every one of you for your keen interest and appreciation. We think the Old Shell Road wants to thank you, too. And we all might turn about and thank the Old Shell Road. MORE ABOUT LIPPMAN FROM PAGE ONE —and we have developed and per fected a kind of military power which is unique. It is a combina tion of sea, air and ground forces which can operate at great dis tances, across the ocean's. No one can afford to forget the existence of this extraordinary instrument, or to leave it out of account in cal culating the balance of forces anywhere. For there is no other military instrument which has a comparable range and reach, none so flexible, so mobile, so quickly concentrated or so capable of ex erting irrestistible force at the point of impact. It would be ab surd for any one to imagine that with this instrument in our hands we cannot speak with equal diplo matic authority in any of the con tested regions of Europe, Asia and Africa. Yet in Europe, and also here* it is for the moment the fashion to leave it out of account. The Eu ropeans have never really seen the fundamental military power of the United States. The bulk of it was in the Pacific, largely invisible to the masses of the people and not really appreciated by European statesmen and generals who were preoccupied with the terrible strug gle of massive land armies. The landings in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and France, though impres sive, did not really disclose the true nature of our amphibious power. For once ashore, the struggle on land obscured the underlying fact, which in the long run has the great est significance, that here was a military instrument which could cross an ocean and put great force ashore at the points it selected. • • • Our own people, including many of our military leaders and our • diplomats, do not appreciate at its i true value the peculiar instrument • of amphibious power. Our Navy i has been particularly interested In the Pacific Ocean, as enemy of the i Japanese Navy and as friendly rival of the British Navy. Our Army has measured itself by the 1 German Army, until 1942 regarded 4 ■—I ■ ■ CONFEDERATE VETERAN GRANITE QUARRY, Feb. 22 :*>—Tobias Lyerly, 99, last native Rowan veteran of the Confederacy, died here Friday at the home ol his daughter. He suffered severe injuries in a fall early this month HARNETT GIFT DURHAM, Feb. 22 — (/P) — Harnett county is the recipient of a 25-room teacherage locat ed at Erwin through a deed negotiated by the Erwin Cot ton Mills company conveying the property to the county as * gift. The property is esti mated to be worth $100,000. The gift was announced to the Har nett county school board in a letter from K. P. Lewis, presi dent of the textile company. The school board accepted the gift at a special meeting this week. ASSETS INCREASE RALEIGH, Feb. 22— (IP) — Assets of the 147 state-char tered building and loan asso ciations increased by $10,215, 963.38 during 1945 and at the end of the year totaled $102, 019,789.60, the State Insurance department announced Friday. The principal gain was reP°ri" ed in money invested in U. B. this world in which this country by professional soldiers as incom parably the best army in the world. Now, there is a disposition to count the number of divisions in the Red Army. As a result, we are just begin ning to understand, we have hardly begun to realize, the uses and significance of our own military instrument, that it is a new in strument and in scale and power and its uses unlike any other force in the world. • * * It would be advisable, I think, to correct these misunderstand ings abroad and at home. It would be a good thing, it seems to me, if the new' American Navy went for a cruise in European waters, and paid visits to our allies. The Europeans have seen the Ameri can Army going home—not always a pretty sight—and they must have the impression that with these homesick, and somewhat demoral, ized G. I.’s there is departing from the European scene the power of the United Stales. They ought to be given a chance to see the Navy which was in the Pacific—the bat tleships, the carriers, and some thing of the great sea-trains, which enable the American Navy to take its own bases with it. It is only fair to them to show them this force, lest they forget its existence and come to think that G. I.’s counting their points are the measure of our interest, our influence, and our power. It would help to correct any mis understandings and miscalcula 1ions, into which land-minded dip lomats so easily fall, during the critical negotiations about Ger many, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. It would also be good for the Navy to see at first hand parts of is bound to be interested, and not to get into a rut and think that there is only one ocean, the Pa cific. The Navy knows all about the islands of the Pacific. It would benefit by an educational cruise not only to the British Isles, Nor way and Denmark, but to Gibral tar, Casablanca and Dakar, to Marseilles, Toulon and Bizerte, to Malta, Trieste, Salonika and the Dodecanese, to Tripoli, Alexandria, Haifa, Beirut and Suez, and to the Persian Gulf. These places are quite as interesting as Okinawa and Saipan, and it would be to the advantage of all, and would pro mote good negotiation, if our Navy saw these places, and if the people in these places saw our Navy. * « * It would not hurt U. N. O. a bit if this Were done. In fact it might help it a lot if every one in the world, including ourselves, were snown that, despite the demobiliza tion, we are very much interested in Europe, and how in the long view we are able to manifest our interest. Copyright, 1948, New York Tribune Inc. BRONX MOTHER AMAZED BY HER TRIPLET SONS THREE GOOD REASONS TO BE AMAZED are seen by Mrs. Ida Komhaber as she looks at triplet sons born to her in a Bronx, N. Yn hospital. Reposing in the arms of three nurses, the newcomers to the Komhaber family weigh five lbs.; four lbs., 12 ozs., and three lbs., 13 ozs., respectively. The Komhabers have four other children. Papa Komhaber, not shown in the picture, was registering astonishment offstage.

C. state bonds, this amount increasing $9,245,592.01 to a total of $34,541,884.85. Cash on hand jumped $664, 516.25 to $5,064,209.56. The only other major gain was In mort gage loans, which increased by $292,802.73 to a total of $60, 599,038.16.

END SEASON RALEIGH, Feb. 22 —{IP)— The four Virginia fire-cured tobacco markets officially ended their sell ing season yesterday with prices for a majority of grades continu ing high, the Virginia and U. S. Agriculture departments announc ed here Friday. Because of lower quality offerings, however, the general average for all tobacco sold declined from that of the previous week, the market report said. Season gross sales at the end of selling yesterday totaled 11,578,487 pounds at an average of $32.40. KUSimifiS ruaJiiun LUMBERTON, Feb. *2—— John A. Sharpe, discharged February 16 from the Army Air Forces, w»I resume his position as associate editor and general manager of The Robe sonian. Sharpe served SO months in the Army. PAROLES GRANTED RALEIGH, Feb. 22—(IP)—Seven prisoners, including one serving a sentence for second degree mur der were paroled Friday by Gov ernor Cherry. They were: Walter Holloway, sentenced m Pitt coun tv in November, 1937, to 30 years; J C Bellamy, sentenced in Colum bus county in September, 1944, to from three to five years; Jesse Henderson, sentenced in Durham county in July. I945, to 12 months; William Bledsoe, sentenced in Wake county in June, 1940, to 10 years; Odle Wilson, sentenced in Orange county in December, 1945, to six months; Tracy Gibson, sen tenced in Scotland county in No vember, 1944, to a total of three years; and John Thomas Chappel sentenced in Hoke county in No vember, 1941, to from three to five years. MORE ABOUT Af'KOy CASE FROM PAGE ONE member to serve for this com mittee member.” This was not followed by the eligibility committee. Lee Stone, of Raleigh, a member of the eligi bility committee, while not actual ly representing the school that made the protest (Durham), was present at the entire meeting though he was quoted in Raleigh newspapers as instrumental in bringing about the actual protest. Right To Refuse Section seven, Article 14, states "if any publicity is given the fad that a request for checking a team is made. , . .the eligibility com mittee has a right to refuse the re quest for a check.” Here again, Lee Stone and Paul Sykes, the coach of the protesting school are ulnerable. Both were quoted in the press (Stone in the Raleigh Times and Sykes in the Durham Herald) to the effect thal Wilmington was guilty of a breach of eligibility rules before the actual protest was filed'. The Rocky Mount Evening Telegram sport’s page contained a column two weeks before the protest in which Sports Editor Bob Weirich said that "a certain” Eastern confer ence school was guilty of code violations. Eligibility Committee No matter how valid the local argument, the existing executive committee of the NCHSAA is al most the same as the eligibility committee. While the eligibility committee consists of 13 members, two are no longer active in its pro ceedings, six others are members of the eligibility committee and one member is the son of an eligibility-exfecutive c o m m i tt ee member. If the request for a hearing is granted Attorney Hogue is already commissioned to present the local case. Another side issue of the case which puzzled local basketball fol lowers was the fact that Fayette ville, conference member, had can celled its two basketball games with the Wildcats. If the decision is reversed', the New Hanover cagers could possibly lose the title through lower percentage ratings than the Wilson five, current first place holder. MORE ABOUT MEAT PRICES FROM PAGE ONE mic Stabilizer Chester Bowles had not finally decided the matter, but when pressed, he added: “As of this time he has decided the price of meat probably should be increased to take care of the wage increase.” Five Cents Plus No figure was mentioned for the wage-offsetting price change, but the committee was told that with drawal of subsidies would increase the retail price of meat by "five cents plus” a pound and the price of bread by one cent for a one pound loaf. The committee approved the sub sidy legislation it had before it. The measure authorizes continua tion of the sugar subsidy program, currently costing $115,000,000 a vear, through this calendar year, and adds $150,000,000 to amounts previously for meat and flour sub sidies in the fiscal year ending June 30. MORE ABOUT JACKSONVILLE FROM PAGE ONE Memorial Service It is expected that the victory prpgram will be held on Memor ial Day, May 30, with memorial services for those serving in World War II who did not return, A pa rade, speeches and a dinner will complete the program. Ennis Murrell, past commander of the Swansboro American Legion post, and Albert Ellis, World War II veteran were proposed as co chairmen for the event.

British troops had orders to shoot to kill any person on the streets during the forbidden period. (Reuters reported the city was quiet at midnight Friday.) Mutiny Under Control Official reports said the mutiny of Royal Indian Navy seamen had been brought under control, and reliable sources said mediation by the congress party had been pro mised to end the mutiny without further bloodshed. (The Central Strike committee oi the mutineers was reported by Reuters to have decided to accepl British demands for unconditional surrender. The report said the committee would advise the strik ers to lay down their arms and re sume work Saturday.) Want Better Pay (In London Prime Minister At tlee, blaming the trouble on “left wing elements -and communists,” declared that only unconditional surrender would be accepted.

Calls Cabinet Meeting R. J. Bowker, British minister, and Sir Walter Smart, called upon Premier Ismail Sidky Pasha. The Egyptian Gazette, English - lan guage newspaper, said it was “un derstood” that the diplomats pro tested attacks on British personnel and property. Sidky refused com ment, but he called a cabinet meet ing. Egyptian police stood guard against any new effort of students to demonstrate. Egyptian armored cars equipped with machine guns patroled streets and British troops, carrying rifles with bayonets fix ed, guarded British installations. Universities, schools and factor, ies reopen Saturday members of a students’ and workers’ national committee will confer on possible retaliation for British troops’ firing on students Thursday. 4??UX DOUGHGIRLS FROM PAGE ONE ried a good deal of the load of the piece were Margaret Darst Smith, Mary Dail Cameron, Mar ian Frink, and Katherine Laney. The first three were the nearly married ones, and Mrs. Laney was the ebullient Russian woman with the rifle which went where she went. Mrs. Smith picked up her lines in rapid fire style, and gave a superb performancen, as did Mary Dial Cameron, while Marion Frink matched their skill in the perform ance. Mrs. Laney acted with a zest that was notable, playing oppo site the other three with verve. Guerard Simkins and J. P. Pret low as a colonel and general re spectively, were just about as good in their performance as one could form coat removing in order to speak plainly to each other, was one of the funniest ttyngs this re viewer has ever seen'. Fine Performances H. Ross Troth and Dave Free man as the two near-husbands gave fine performances and played up well to the feminine stars they were playing with. Milan Wood as the hotel manager was clear cut in diction and convincing in his part. Elizabeth Williams, as ‘'Judge” Honoria Blake, was right in keep ing with the general excellence of the performance, as she always is. E. R. Blakeslee, Jr., gave an ex cellent characterization of a Wash ington dollar-a-year man, and his final exit, when he had been fired, made a peculiarly appropriate parallel with happenings of the day in Costume Attractive Katherine B. Meier, as an honest to goodness wife of one of the play boys, was as attractive as her costume, which is saying a great deal. Incidentally all the costumes were quite easy to look at. War ren L. Humphrey, cast as a man who had not been able to find any place to lay his head, was just as funny as could be in his comedy desperation in trying to find some where to sleep. Andrew Johnson as Chaplain Stevens, Edward C. Snead as Ad miral Owens, Charles J. Blake as a somewhat puzzled FBI man, kept the action going in good shape when they were on stage, and gaxe thoroughly excellent performances Extras Come Through There were several hotel servi tors In the play, and Gibbs Holmes. Katherine Goodman, James I. Metts, and one or two unnamed extras took care of those parts in great style. R. C. Cantwell, Third and Robert Foster put a good deal of comedy in their roles of porter and waiter, and both man aged to express a pantomimic abil ity that was remarkable. Everett Huggins made two fleeting appear ances ag a messenger, and Swift M. Boatwright, as a presidential secretary made a splendid appear ance, not as fleeting as the mes senger’s. A. Glod, as Father Nich olai, performer the much to be YAMASHITA HANG$" TO IGNOBLE DEATH ON MANILA GALLOWS MANILA, Saturday, Feb. 22 —VP)—Beefy Lieut. Gen.
