One of the Chinese who fled tc the hospital, Wilson said, w.?s tilt sole survivor of a group that had been bayonetted and machinegun ned by the Japanese. The survivor told Wilson he escaped by feigning death and that the Japanese went away in search of other victims Wilson said He was called to the lodge of a neighboring gat^pan at the height of the pillage and there found two Japanese assaulting twe Chinese women under the protec tion of three other Japanese with bayonets. Wilson said he rescued the wom en and took them to the hospital where one later developed a dis ease. The American testified ne toon photographs of the atrocities. One Chinese girl, between six and eight years old, came to the hospital for treatment of a shat tered left elbow, Wilson said. Th& girl told him that her parents were murdered before her eyes by the Japanese and that one of them al most severed her arm with a sword stroke. Earlier in the day the name of Generalissimo Chiang Kai - Shek entered the proceedings when de fense counsel attempted to show that Chiang was kidnapped in 1936 as part of a Communist plot to force the Nanking government into war against Japan. A Chinese witness, Gen. Chin Teh-Chun, Chinese vice minister for military operations, denied contentions that Chiang obtained his release by pledging to adopt ah anti-Japanese policy. He admitted, however, that one result of the kidnapping was to bring about a common policy of re sistance against Japan by tbt Nanking government and Chinese Communist regime at Yenan.

The same goes for Small, Civilian Production Administrator, also no crusader | for price control He will be firm ly persuaded to clamp down hard on inventories. All these plans remain of course in the realm of good intentions, with which the road of the Tru man Administration has been liberally paved. But there is every reason to believe that this time Truman really means business. Truman is undoubtedly not think ing primarily in political terms, but obviously if he signs the com promise price control measure, with whatever protestations of reluctance, and prices rise really steeply nevertheless, it will cer tainly not strengthen his admin istration politically.

MORE ABOUT ALONG THE CAPE FEAR FROM PAGE ONE Amusement company had its be ginning in the same old carnival tent with a wooden front, a long horn phonograph playing contin uously to attract the passer-by, and the familiar chant, “Never out and never over, always going on, ‘five cents. "Now who can name the first, and evidently the best, street car nival Wilmington entertained. Re member, in the old days the car nival attractions were pitched in the street, usually on Front from Chestnut to Dock and on Market from Water to Third. I think the first carnival to appear here was the Bastock Ag gregation and was sponsored, I believe, by the BPO Elks, and was generally known as the Elks Car nival. They operated a “Country Store” at the curb in front of the post office, where for a chance in vestment of a dime you might draw a paper of pins or a ton oi coal. “A great many merchants operated decorated booths at the place of business, where they at tractively displayed and sold their wares under the supervision oi beautiful girls. And a good time was had by all. No doubt some of the Old Timers can add a lot to this. “Maybe some, older than I, can tell you something about “Wel come Week,” an annual attraction curb, usually in front of their for Wilmington, but I can only re member it vaguely as a youngster. “I do remember the bandstand on Market street between Front and Second, and I think fireworks were one of the many attractions. “ Let’s go!” • « * MEMORY STOREHOUSE—Let’s go, indeed. How about it, you other Old Timers? Can you add anything to Mr. Cronenberg’s fabulous but true narrative? We wish we were old enough so that we wouldn’t have to bother you all with our questions. But since we are as young as we are, and since, therefore, we have no first-hand experience on these old time Capt Fear glories, we must of necessity resort to the store houses of memory you older folks are so fortunate to possess. We would particularly like to know about that business of getting a ton of coal for a dime. What with winter coming on, we wouldn’t mind risking a dime on such a potential winning, if any one would care to start anothei carnival and raffle off a ton oi coal — and if John L.
