more about GREED from page one pose at serving the state-”, Mr. Truman left Churchill, his guest of three days here. Britain’# wartime leader was to return to Washington Wednes day aboard the President s special train. Churchill was weighing re action to his Fulton speech which he regarded as one of the most important of his ca reer. Churchill took no part in the ceremonies here, remain ing in the President’s private car on a railroad siding. He had cqnsidertd flying back ahead of the President, but de cided against it in view of bumpy weather which his ship would have encountered. While in Columbus, the President met briefly with former Ohio Gov ernor John W. Brickcr. He was Mr. Truman’s 1944 opponent as Vice-presidential Republican candi felt6. Mr. Truman’s speech was to a nationwide radio audience and a visual audience of 500 churchmen representing 27,000,000 (m) protest ants. He drew his greatest applause when he pledged this country to defend the United Nationr charter. "AnJ we are confident,” he add ed, “that all other United Nations expect to do the same.” The President toe* an admittedly fearful view of atomic energy, re peating his oft-voiced statement that its discovery gave the world the choice between self-destruction and an unprecedently prosperous, happy age. He added that after ail the scient ists and statesmen of the world had exhausted their Studies, their one solution would be: “The substitution of decency and reason and brotherhood for the rule of force in the government of man.” 1 .. Taking the golden rule as his theme, Mr. Truman went on to coy • “If we really believed in the brotherhood of man, it would not be necessary to pass a Fair Em ployment Practice Act. _ “If certain pressure interests were not so greedy for gold there would be less pressure and lobby ing to induce the Congress to allow the nrice control act to expire, or to keep down minimum wages, or to permit further concentration of economic power.” „ Then Mr. Truman called for a truly religious fervor” and “a more awakening” to help the solution of many problems confronting this country and other nations. “A .truly religious fervor among our people,” he said, “would go a long way toward obtaining a na tional health program, a national housing program, a national educa tion program, and an extended and improved social security program. “As among men. so among na tions—nothing will do more to maintain the peace of the world than the rigorous application of the principles of our ancient reli gion. Mr. Truman was given an en thusiastic welcome here. He rode in an open car from the railroad station to the hotel where he spoke. Riding with him were Gov. Frank J. Lausche of Ohio, Mayor James A. Rhodes and Sen. James W. Huff man, (D., O.) Large crowds lined the streets for the President’s brief parade and he answered the cheers with frequent waves of a black homburg hat—a rarely seen item in the President’s wardrobe. Mr. Tru man wore morning clothes for his appearance here—black double* breasted coat and striped trousers.

CONCILIATORS WORK “UNTIL LAST MINUTE” WASHINGTON, March 6 — (A») — U. S. conciliators and represen tatives of union and management worked Wednesday night for a last minute settlement to avert a threat ened nationwide telephone tieup. Hope that some settlement was in the making was bolstered by a Labor department spokesman who said a statement might be issued later Wednesday night by the con ference. Earlier conciliation ef forts apeared to have broken down. Simultaneously, Joseph A. Beirne, president of the National Federation of Telephone Workers which called a strike for 6 a.m. Thursday morning, cancelled a radio broadcast scheduled for 11:18 p.m. Wednesday night over CBS. The reason given by a NFTW spokesman for the cancellation was that Beirne was “in negoti ations.’’ In Dallas the Southwestern Tele phone Workers union office was ordered to “stand by for develop ments,” by St. Louis headquarters of the union. Ray Hackney, Texas plant division chairman of the un ion said he interpreted this develop ment to mean there was a chance of settling the strike. MORE ABOUT DRAFTEES FROM PAGE ONE perman agreed to examine the Negroes in this group. Board No. 1 found a total of 42 whites and 15 colored registrants ready to be called for pre-induction on March 12; and Board No. 2 list ed 8 whites and 15 colored to be called for pre-induction on March 26. Board No. 1 sent out letters yes terday notifying the “eligibles” in that group and Board No. 2 expect to get their notices mailed the first of next week. The board members decided not to meet again unless called because of the work doubling in the office. The clerks will have to make new sets of physical papers for each registrant. All these extra duties must be handled in addition to the daily routine of checking out of the service the returning veterans. Representing Boara No. 1 at yes terday's meeting were W. M. Hew lett, chairman, T. F. Wood, and Dr. E. R. Toms; Board No. 2 in cluded J. N. Alexius, and L. T. Landon. MORE ABOUT PERRY FROM PAGE ONE row Wilson hut as the county com missioners met in special session with the Chamber of Commerce aviation committee. The meeting opened at 3:15. Full reports of the "fact-finding com mittee” were read, followed by a brief discussion. Immediately thereafter Gardener introduced the resolution to form the airport au thority. It was seconded at once and received a unanimous "aye” from the commissioners at four o’clock. Committee Named A committee to name members for the authority was quickly formed, adjourned to another of fice, and returned in five short minutes with their candidates. Within another five minutes the commissioners had okayed the candidates and the meeting ad journed. Immediately following the ad journment, the new airport author, ity members called their first meet ing and named their chairman and secretary. Their second meeting is schedul ed for today at 3:00 p. m. in the Woodrow Wilson hut where they will talk over the matters of funds, an airport manager, a name for the authority, and other important things with Addison Hewlett, chair man of the county board and ex officio adviser to the airport author ity. One Of “Firsts’* “One of the first things we must get settled—and we’ll meet every day until we do,” chairman Perry said, “is the hiring of a competant airport manager. “We want a man who knows all there is to know about airfield maintenance and management, a '.go-getter’ who will devote his full time to the job.” Perry, as well as the rest of the group, invite correspondence from everycne in their efforts to find the right man. When Bluethenthal airfield is of ficially turned over to the county and the authority, the entire field and equipment will be in first class condition. Under provisions of the Federal Surplus Properties Act, the Army must put the field in A-l shape and the Civil Aeronautics Administration must give its ful approval on the field before it changes hands, Hicks said yester " No Official Word No official word has been re ceived yet concerning the installa tion of the new VHF (very high frequency) radio range by CAA. The land has been leased.by CAA for the installation, and it is ex pected that the range will be in stalled and' ready to operate with in 60 to 90 days.

Garanflo, district CAA airport engineer, and Harvey H. Perkins, regional CAA manager in Atlanta, to get the project mov ing swiftly. A member, or members, of the authority will probably attend the CAA aviation meeting at the Car olina hotel in Raleigh on March 13 in an effort to further Bluethen thal field’s interests. To Negotiate Lease On March 22, the authority will meet with J. D. Culpepper, Jack sonville attorney for National Air lines, to negotiate a lease on the field. According to John H. Farrell, secretary of the Chamber of Com merce, industrial agent, and avia tion committeeman, National Air lines is not the only line interested in doing business at the local field. Pennsylvania-Central has, in the past, asked the Civil Aeronautics Board for a route through Wilming ton, and Eastern Airlines likewise is looking in this direction, Farrell said at the meeting yesterday. MORE ABOUT LOUNGE FROM PAGE ONE has continually been available to the public every business day, except a few days taken for repairs to it’s interior. Today visitors marvel that such a room exists, and often express the wish that their city or community would organize one. It is under the auspices of the city and county govern ment, and is partially sup ported by rentals from dis plays of merchants, and dona tions made by visitors, Miss Price said. The lounge room is a haven for tired shoppers and business women, who drop in to rest their feet and escape the humdrum and dust of the busy every-day world. It serves as an escape for tired allergy-stricken women who come in to town from outlying districts. Persons who have come into town and been stricken ill have found the lounge a clean and rest ful place, to which they may retire while waiting for buses, a call for their appointment at the doctors, or whatever the reason for having to wait might have been. The club was founded under the auspices of the Housewives League, back in the days of the first world war, and was thought to be such an asset to the city, that the government of the county and city have helped to continue it’s exist ence. There has been an average at tendance of 15,407 annually, and it is said that every one of them, in some way, expressed their appre ciation for the lounge, whether they dropped coins in the dona tion box, or just said “thank you.” So, into the years, the club goes. Never having its praises sung very highly, never asking the help oi anyone. And into the years goes the service of it’s congenial hostess> of whom «ome have suggested, the lounge be named “the Margaret Price Rest Room.” To this, the hostess only smijes and says “that will never be.” The club is managed by the fol lowing committee: Mrs. S. Bruce Tabb, chairman, Mrs. W. B. Cooper who has been on the com mittee since the lounge room’s establishment 32 years ago. Mrs. W. R. Noe, Mrs. E. L. Watkins and Miss Price. Mrs. Cooper is now ill most of the time according to Miss Price, but is retained on the committee in an official capacity.

Probably Could Get "And if the Navy wants that," Tucker added, "I guess there’s not much doubt that they will get it." J. J. Hudiburg, owner of the hotel at Holly Ridge, confirmed Tucker’s opinions last night. "The Marines are moving out of the camp fast," he said, "not only personnel but equipment too.” Both Hudiburg and Tucker said that the general talk in and about the camp indicates that the Marines will be completely out of the camp by April 1. No Official Word Although there has been no of ficial word from Washington on the matter as yet, all indications are that the Navy will replace the Marine corps, and Camp Davis will once again assume an im portant place in local as well as national affairs.

Following the meeting, the auth ority and Broungton are expected to go before Governor R. Gregg Cherry and the council of state to discuss plans to finance it for the remainder of the year. The survey work will be carried out by the Harris company, while the Roberts company will draw up plans and specifications for the physical improvements for North Carolina ports, according to the chairman. MORE ABOUT HANSON FROM PAGE ONE An option on the location of the station, was made known by the letter which was also endorsed by the following: The Wilmington Shipping company, Peter B. Ruf fin, president, Addison Hewlett, R. C. Fergus and Son, and Clarence Dudley Maffitt, shipping agent. In the resolution, it is pointed out that safety for thousands of fisher men who are taken out, as well as pleasure men, would be increased by periodic inspections of the craft by the Coast Guard, to determine their fire-fighting and life-sauing qualities. It is also pointed oat that the Oak Island station, located near Southport, has been called several times for help in the Wilmington territory. National Coast Guard officials, as well as North Carolina congress men and Senators will also receive copies of the resolutions, as well as the letter with the signatures ol the above-mentioned firms and in dividuals.

The Trust building is one of few fireprof buildings in the city. MORE ABOUT PRESIDENT FROM PAGE ONE could paralyze all railroads but presidential intervention will at least delay the walkout. President Alvanley Johnston ot the Brotharhood of Locomotive Engineers, and President A. F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, ordered their 300,000 members to strike on March 11 but said: “We will go along with the President as we have always done’-' if he invokes the National Railway Labor Act. In Washington the National Mediation board received official notice of the strike call and pre pared to refer the case to the White House. Under the Railway Labor Act the President may ap point an emergency board of three public members and the strike date then must be postponed at least 30 days. The law states that there is to be no strike during the time the emergency board is studying the dispute or for 30 days after its report is submitted. The official strike call today set 6 a. m. March 11 for the first walkout of some 50 roads. Three other large groups of roads were to follow at the same hour on March 12, 13, and 14. The union presidents ordered that troop, milk and hospital trains were to be kept running but no others, in cluding mail trains, were to be finerated. The two unions, refusing to sepa ' rate their demands for operational rules changes from their request for a 25 per cent wage increase, walked out of negotiations with the operators in Chicago in January. Eighteen other rail unions agreed then to arbitration of their de mands. Two boards are now con sidering the disputes. Representatives of the 130 class one roads termed the strike call a “senseless and flagrant dis* regard of the Railway Labor Act.” This charge was made in Chicago by a conference committee repre senting the railroads in arbitration proceedings with the other unions. “Whitney and Johnston refused to defer rule change demands and rejected the offer of the carriers to submit the wage issues to ar bitration,” the statement said. “The National Mediation Board then advised Johnston and Whit ney that mediation would be re sumed here (Chicago) Feb. 11. The board and representatives of the railroads were here but officials of neither union appeared. They subsequently advised the board that they regarded mediation as terminated.” Records of the National Media tion Board show that there'has never been a violation of the pro vision of the Railway Labor Act postponing strikes during study of issues by the board. There have been only throe instances—all in volving small railroads—in which strikes were called after emer gency boards recommended set tlement terms. Appointment of the board is the government’s final step. The fiirst step is mediation by the NMB after collective bargaining breaks down, and the second is an offer of arbitration with decisions en forceable in the Federal courts. -'— Government To Sell Ships Built During War Daw WASHINGTON, March 6—CU.R)_ The government plans to dispose of 20,000,000 tons of war built ship, ping within 15 months and restore the American merchant fleet to private operation as soon as possi. ble, the war shipping administra tion disclosed Wednesday night. Capt. Granville Conway, acting administrator, told a press con ference, however, that the govern ment probably will have to con tinue its own worldwide shipping operations for another year or year and a half to deliver UNRRA cargoes and essential national im ports. This will be done, he said, with a government owned fleet oi diminishing size until, by the end of fiscal 1947, WSA will operate only 1,000 ships as compared with 3,000 now. The other 2,000 will have been sold, chartered or plac ed in reserve. They include 400 requisitioned from private com panies when war broke out and soon to be returned. Conway revealed WSA will car ry 1,500,000 tons of coal a month to Europe for the remainder oi 1946. Previous announcements had covered only the first quarter. WSA is engaged in a virtual worldwide “tramp” operation, Conway said. It must be ready tc dispatch ships anywhere, in bal last if necessary, to pick up car goes for delivery to needy coun tries. It also transports war brides across the Atlantic and Pacific. While America is meeting its cargo shipping problem, Conway said, there is a "terrific shortage” of passenger vessels and it will continue for a long, long time.” “We can’t cope with the passen ger problem,” he said referring to immigrant programs, war bride transportation needs and business travel requirements. He said he hoped Congress would act favorably cn a bill introduced Wednesday by Rep. Emanuel Cel. ler, CD-N. Y.) to permit steamship company operatoration o-HtsOsra company operation of aircraft. He implied this would help the passenger problem. Conway disclosed WSA plans tc charter vessels to private opera tors until the ship sales bill goes into effect and these w can own their own will be effective about*60 ri The bl11 President Truman sins ^ af!er WSA win try and see ■< there is enough tonnage ava /m' to carry "at least 50 per c e ’ ablf America's foreign comme r of way said. ce' Con.
