X VV MORE ABOUT RAILROAD FROM PAGE ONE Pullman company, the record dis closes. On Company Lines With the steady demand of the Commerce Comtnissions, and in cooperation with affiliated lines, plus the need of ACL for distribu tion the cars are scattered country wide. but the major number of cars are used on company lines, the journal said. From a breakdown of the equip ment owned by the company as of March 31, the records show that 105 Diesel-electric locomotives are now in use. along with 679 steam engines, the majority of which hive been equipped with modern facilities. A total of 784 engines are now in the service of the com pany. Troop Movements Of the 27,090 pieces of equipment, owned by the company, 548 are passenger cars, several of which have been used almost exclusively during the war years for troop movements, at the directive of the Federal government, and for fur loughing soldiers, the magazine says. Freight cars chalk up the highest total with 23.838 freight carriers being listed tor ACL. Of miscellaneous cars in the use of the company, 1,920 were listed as “miscellaneous” which would fall in the category of flats, and semi-flat cars and cars which the company has had returned recent ly. Some of them were used as “passenger sleepers” 1or troops during the peak of transportation in the war years. Looking ahead to the progress of the sections of the country served by ACL, officials have placed on order enormous lists of new cars and engines to replace some of the work-weary equipment. MORE ABOUT ALONG THE CAPE FEAR FROM PAGE ONE game of “Here we go round the Mulberry Bush.” * * * NO THIRSTY PEOPLE — The man who has put us straight on our geography is Mr. C. C. Chad bourn, an old timer Wilmingtonian and Cape Fearian, and we cer tainly do thank him. Although he didn’t mention any thing about the Old Bear Winery, we assume that must have been on Mulberry street, too. Because as far as we know, the winery and the spring were both on the same street. If they were, there surely must have been no thirsty people on Mulberry street, what with a spring and a winery to patronize. Just off-hand, we’re wondering which did the most business. MORE ABOUT SENATORS FROM PAGE ONE shouted back angrily: "I am leaving your committee and I shall not attend any more of its hearings. I think the country will know and the Senate will know that it is a completely one-sided, pre-judged, unfair committee.” Taft, who has supported the American Medical association’s claim that the legislation would lead to socialized medicine, began: “I think this bill is the most socialistic measure ever proposed seriously to the Congress.” ‘‘That’s a slander and a false hood,’" shouted Murray. ‘‘You’re very discourteous.” Taft then asked permission to make a brief statement of his in tention to submit an opposition health bill to the committee. “I don’t care what you want to | introduce,” Murray said, rapping his gavel. Taft tried to continue but the chairman shouted him down. His dander up, the Republican Today and Wednesday o k ONE PICTURE HAS TRULY CAUGHT THE TEMPO OF OUR TIMES!

Shakes Fist At Taft “I demand you subside,” Mur ray yelled back, shaking his fist at Taft. “You’ve been impertinent and insulting.” “I intend *o offer a complete bill . . . ” Taft began again. “I don’t care what you intend to offer,” Murray told him. “You can shut your mouth up and get out. You’re so self-opinionated and so self-important.” Taft then picked up his brief case and started cut of the room, shout ing that he would not attend any more meetings. ‘That’s your general conduct,” Murray told him, “and you won’t gain anything before the country by it. If you come in here and act like a statesman, all right. But you can’t do that, No, you can’t do that.’’ The measure would authorize ap propriations of about $50,000,000 to finance a comprehensive health pro' gram, including grants for public health, material and child care and care of needy persons; nationally compulsory health insurance, and grants to the state for medical re search and education. MORE ABOUT WALKOUT FROM PAGE ONE the negotiations would prolong the walkout well beyond the two-week limit predicted by many observers last week. The cut in U. S. Steel's operating schedule indicated the gravity with which, the situation was viewed by top industrialist. Steel spokesmen said big steel s Pittsburgh plants had only enough coal to last 12 days and that the curtailment was decided upon at this time to avert more serious trouble later. MORE ABOUT CHANNEL FROM PAGE ONL substantiate any requests for deep • ening the channel so that the data may be ready for speedy presenta tion at the hearing.” To date, the fate of the 32-foot appropriation has not been decided But whether or not it is approved, the review of the 35-foot channel proposal will gc forward as plan ned. TODAY AND THURS. MORE AEOUT BUILDING FROM PAGE ONE resentative citizens appointed by the Civilian Production Administra tion to advise the CPA district manager on the essentiality and non-deferrability of proposed con struction ac.ivities in their areas. Road Building Unaffected Q. Can facilities be built for new | communities—things like sewers, roads, schools, churches, drug stores, grocery stores? A. Sewer and road building is not affected by the order. On buildings necessary for community life, the district construction com mittee which knows the needs of the new community can be expect ed to act in accordance with that need. Q. Would this mean a difference in the treatment of an application for construction of a grocery store, drug store, or the like, in a new community which has none* and one in an old community which has such service? A. Yes, more favorable consid eration can be expected on such an application to serve a new com munity, than on one for a section which already has several grocery or drug stores. raciory construction Q. What about applications for factory construction, such as for a brick plant? A. If the product has been de termined by CPA to be critically short nationally, the application ordinarily would be approved. CPA district managers are kept inform ed on critical products. Q. What is the situation on jobs which have started. A. If the job got under way be fore March 26 (date of the order) to the extent that materials which are to be an integral part of the structure had been incorporated in it on the site and work was being carried on and work is carried on normally after that date, authori zation under the order is not need ed for that structure—the order does not apply to it. Examples of Materials Q. Give examples of “materials incorporated in the structure on the site.” A. In the case of new construc tion: Concrete footings, steel gird ers, foundation brick work, when acutally put in place on the site. In the case of repair work: Instal lation of new flooring or partitions or the like. Q. Does beginning work (putting in footings, etc.) on one building which is part of a plan for expan sion of a plant, or the construction of a group of structures for a race track, exempt the other proposed uuiiumgs xrum me oraer; A. No, it does not. Application must be made for authorization for each separate building which has not itself been started as defined by the order. Small Job Exemptions Q. If a builder has done his pre paratory work such as preparing blue prints, obtaining materials and building permit, digging the excavation, but has not gotten his footings poured or girders, etc., in place, may he go ahead? A. Not unless the entire cost oi the building comes within the small job exemptions. Q. What are the exemptions? A. They are, briefly. $400 for a house, $1,000 for a hotel, church, commercial or farming building, $15,000 for a factory. Q. Where should applications for authorization be filed? Form To Fill A. 1. For houses or apartments (including non-veteran, but ex cluding farm housing) file with the local offices of the Federal Housing administration on form CPA 4386. 2. For farm work file with the county agricultural conservation committee. Use form CPA 4386 foi farm housing of all kinds. Use form CPA 4423 for farm non-housing con struction. 3. For all other types of construc tion or repair work file with the CPA construction field offices or form CPA 4423. Q. If the roof of a farm house oi city house is blown off or badly damaged by wind, is authorization required to replace it? A. Repair or reconstruction oi any house which has been damaged by tornedo, fire or similar disaster can be done without authorization ii the total cost of the work is not over $6,000 and if it is started with in 60 days after the disaser. MORE ABOUT CLINTON FROM PAGE ONE of the city in an orderly and plan ned fashion for a generation. In discussing the city’s future. Mayor Jack Morisey said; “We consider the zoning and planning a real step ahead.” “Growing Fast” “Clinton is growing and fast. We estimate our population at better than 6,000 now and it should con tinue going right up,” he added. WUh an annual produce business ilU excess of $1,000,000, Clinton is already well established as a mar ket and plans are underway to at tract farmers in a wider area, the Mayor said. “The northern markets apparent ly will take about everything grown in this rich agricultural area for export marketing. We have an eye to the fuutre development of this rich resource,” he disclosed. Several stress in the municipal inty will be widened during the year and several thousands added yards of sewer lines will be laid. Transportation in the city has been improved with the inaugura tion of bus service within the city.

Interracial conferences have been included in this year's business, besides the regular sessions. MORE ABOUT UNO FROM PAGE ONE and his cabinet were drafting a re ply but added on the basis of un official reports that Russian Am bassador Ivan Sadchikov was be lieved to be putting heavy pres sure on Iran to send a reply which would indicate “an identity of views’’ between the two countries. Possibilities 1— That satisfactory replies would be received from both capitals. In that case Russian Ambassador An drei I. Gromyko might be able U go back to the council table at once, ending his boycott of Iranian discussions. 2— That Russia would not reply but that Iran's reply would indi cate that Russian troops were with drawing from the country without pressure on the Iranian govern ment. This also would be calculat ed to break the crisis. 3— That Russia would send a re ply which would rebuff the Coun cil and in effect force it to continue Iranian talks. 4— That Iran would rouse suspi cion of Russian pressure and like wise cause the Council to continue. 5— That neither reply would be received on time. There was great interest in pos sible contact between Byrnes and Gromyko before the Council meet ing. Gromyko himself remained un communicative. In Constant Touch Tehran reported that Russian, American and British diplomats were in constant touch with the Iranian government. From Moscow came continued Russian newspaper attach on the western Allies and Iran. The Moscow News Times alleged that Iranian nationalists, part of a nation of perhaps 15,000,000 peo ple, were plotting to create a “greater Iran’’ and seize Russian territory—defended by 180,000,000 people—around the Caspian sea. SOVIET TROOPS REPORTED MOVING FROM IRAN TEHRAN, April 2.—<JP>— Thou sands of Soviet Troops concen trated at the Caspian port of Ban dar Shah, 160 miles northeast of Tehran, appeared Tuesday to be making busy preparations to leave Iranian soil. A view of the Asterabad province area from a plane showed much activity on crowded wharves, in temporary bivouacs and in a reg ular Coviet Army camp. MORE ABOUT BULWINKLE FROM PAGE ONE made' by Mr. Truman to othej congressional opponents of th' bill.” Urged Veto Arnall admitted, the story con tinued, that he called at the White House primarily to urge the Presi dent to veto the measure if the Senate approved it. “In any event,” the story said “some Senators who have discuss ed the legislation with the Presi dent are known to have gained the assurance that the bill will mee with a certain veto unless it i; drastically revised from the forn in which it passed the House a few months ago.” The railroads had been accusec by Arnall and others of sponsoring the bill as a means of circumvent ing Supreme Court action initiatec by Arnall to force equalization o: freight rates. Plastics from bituminous coai are now being made into linoleum for floor coverings. more about TIDAL WAVE FROM PAGE ONE Army training center on the north west side of Oahu, on which Hono- j lulu is located. Red Cross officials said 1,0001 persons were being cared for in, the Oahu camp, and 800 at Hilo. | Several hundred others were; gathered in emergency camps on other islands. 5,000 Homeless -Many of those left homeless j found shelter with friends and rel-j atives and it was impossible to j make an accurate check. It was conservatively estimated that, all, 4,000 to 5,000 homeless. Soldiers and territorial 8uar^’ mobilized by Gov. Ingram ■ Stainback, patrolled stricken areas ! to prevent looting and to assist victims. Thirty tons of food were flown to Hilo and many more tons of food, clothing and supplies will be sent by ship. A plane load of clothing was flown to Maui island, lying mid way between Oahu and Hawaii, where many residents lost all their possessions. Trucks loaded with food and clothing were sent to ref ugees at the Oahu relief camp, and Army crews set up field kitchens. Damage In Millions Property damage figures are rol ling into the millions. Only a sur vey can determine the total, but the greatest losses centered in the Hilo business district. 10 PERSONS MISSING IN ALEUTIAN ISLANDS By The Associated Press Immense tidal waves that crash ed down on Pacific shores from Hawaii to the Aleutians and as far south as Chile took the lives of possibly 167 persons, late reports showed Tuesday night, and left property damage running into the millions. Hawaii suffered the greatest casualties. The lates: compilation placed the dead at 83, the missing at a minimum of 73. Ten were presumed lost in the Aleutians and one in California. The island of Hawaii, with its chief city of Hilo was hardest hit, reporting 61 dead and 58 missing. Hilo, a city of 25,000 population on the exposed northease coast, was battered and its streets piled high with water-swept debris. Navy officials had expressed fears that as many as 300 persons might have lost their lives in Hilo, but many of those first reported missing had turned up safe. There still was no report of the fate of 10 men carried away when the north-bound tidal wave engulf ed Scotch Cap lighthouse on Uni mak, an Aleutian island only 70 miles from the calculated center of the submarine earthquake. Pearl Harbor Escapes Nearby Dutch Harbor,, standing at the apex of the Navy’s defense triangle in the Pacific, escaped major damage as did protected Pearl Harbor at the western end of the triangle’s base. The Navy reported damage to in stallations, however, at Midway, 1,140 miles northwest of Pearl Harbor, and at Johnston island, approximately 800 miles to the A 30-foot wave was reported to have lashed at the historic “Robin son Crusoe's Island” of Juan Fernandez, 600 miles off Valpa raiso. Residents fled to the hills. Current Runs Swiftly Currents still ran so swift off Santa Cruz, California, where the California victim was swept to sea, that fishing boats dragged anchor. Ocean currents here were estimated at 30 knots. The seas had subsided, how ever, around the Hawaiian islands and the task of rescue and relief for the victims of Hawaii’s worst disaster was moving ahead swift ly. Navy reports reaching Washing ton, D. C., stated there had been no loss of life among Naval per sonnel in Hawaii and Alaska. The ships assembled at Pearl Harbor for the atom bomb tests at Bikini atoll escaped damage, as did equipment already installed on the little island in the Mar shall’s west of Hawaii. Relief To Islands This left the Army- and Navy free to rush relief to the disaster areas of the Hawaiian islands— Kauai, northwest of Oahu, the northern coast of Oahu itself, and Maui and Hawaii southwest of Oahu. Beach homes on the exposed coasts of these islands were smash ed to kindling, small craft were beached, and scores of persons— trapped when the tides came pounding inland in three waves— were swept to sea. William W. Monahan, chairman of the Hawaii Red Cross, estimat ed that 4,000 persons were home less. Of these, 1,800 were from the I-—-— Man Had Brick In His Stomach For 10 Years One man recently stated that for 10 years he felt like he had a brick in his stomach. This feeling was I due to the lump of undigested food he always had inside of him. He was weak, worn out, headachey, swollen with gas and terribly con stipated. Recently he started tak ing INNER-AID and says the feel ing like a brick in his stomach disappeared the second day. Boweli are regular now, gas and head aches are gone and he feels like a new man. INNER-AID contains 12 Great Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear gas from stomach, act on sluggish liver and kidneys. Miserable peo ple soon feel different all over. So don’t go on suffering!

In Aleutian Trench Coast and geodetic survey ex perts at Washington placed the epicenter of the seismic disturb ance at the northern edge of tne Aleutian “trench,” an ocean deep running down to 24.000 feet. They said a movement of the earth’s crust 9,000 feet below the surface on the shelf of the “trench” would send a tremendous ava lanche of earth plumeting into the deep and generating giant waves. Further settling might cause other temblors in the next few months, they added, but it was unlikely they would be of such in tensity as those of Monday.
