River traffic was moving along on regular schedule yesterday as operators and ship owners began to take an intense interest in the strike. ’ No vessels are due at the Cape Fear Shipping company’s facilities within the next several days al though a continued strike would hinder future operations of the company, a spokesman said. The strike looks serious, a local official of tee Texas Oil company said, especially in New York. Locally, he continued, there are no ships scheduled due to a large sup ply on hand. The tanks of the Atlantic Re fining company were filled short ly before the strike went into ef fect and no bad affects are ex pected unless the situation con tinues for a long period of time, an official of the company said. A railroad embargo also was still in effect here. And while the ebb and flow of water commerce remained at a standstill in other parts of the na tion, the ship-soldiers of World War II which had been designated for anchorage in the Brunswick River Layup Basin were forced to re main anchored in ports from New York to Charleston because of the strike. Maritime Commission officials were pondering the situation as all operations relative to the towing of vessels to their standby stations were halted. Each day of the strike, a spokes man for the commission said, adds another day to the completion of the task of towing the 500 expected vessels into the Brunswick county basin. ATOM AGE NAVY CONSTRUCTION STARTS (Continues From Page One) Is no indication that atomic pile power plants have reached the point where they can be installed as propulsion units in vessels. Both hulls have conventional design power plants. However, lessons learned from the atomic bombs exploded against the fleet at Eikini undoubtedly will influence superstructure design. The results may be emphatically streamlined topside structures de signed to reduce the effect of the enormous wide-area pressures pro duced by atomic bomb blast. DON’T BE DISCOURAGED!

VAST SHIPPING STRIKE SLOWS NATION’S PULSE (Continued From Page One) New York mayor knew the futility of such a move, “LaGuardia has had etneugh ac quaintance with longshoremen not o make such a request,” he said. The third day of the strike of 90.000 members of the SIU and the Sailors Union of the Pacific joined by an estimated 400,000 allied shipworkers, dock hands and CIO seamen — found confusion spreading inland from the nation’s hushed seaports. The Association of American Railroads said between 15,000 and 20.000 loaded freight cars were tied up because of the strike. This added to the shortage of rolling equipment desperately need ed to move the grain harvest, al ready piling up on the ground in some midwestern areas for want of freight cars. The industrial east—doubly pun ished bv the strike of more than 35.000 AFL truck drivers in New York. New Jersey, Virginia and | Maryland—was bit by a third walk-, out of workers particulary vital to 7 1-2 million New Yorkers. Union tugboat crews were or dered to quit work in the vast New York harbor at 4 p.m. (EDT) Saturday by Capt. William Brad lev, president of local 333, United Marine division, International Longshoremen’s association (AFL1, in sympathy with the AFL seamen. TRUMAN POSTPONES ATOMIC BOMB TEST (Continued From Page One) tests, Russia charged the United States with using atomic diplom acy in an attempt to distate world peace on its own terms. There also were suggestions that economic factors and the possible wide destructive effect of a deep water explosion may have been factors in the postponement de cision. Bush said the deep-water explo sion may have been factors in the postponement decision. Bush said the deep-water deto nation would have made its de structive effects felt over a larg er area than in the first two ex periments. He also said that it “never seemed to the Federation that the tests were likely to jus tify the outlay on them.” White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross also took note of the economic factor. He said it was estimated that the third test would cost $35,000,000 Although Ross said the postpon ement did not mean cancellation, the general impression here was that the third test —■ test “Char ley” — v/ould never be held. PERON EXPEDITES HEMISPHERE PLAN — (Continued From Page One) and the inauguration of Gen. Juan D. Peron there had been “a change in the weather” of Argentine-Unit ed States relations. He said that late in 1945 and ear ly this year such relations had been perilously close to the break ing po’nt but had since undergone a fundamental change with the majority of sore spots healed and the few remaining likely to be heal ed in the near future, establishing the basis for a new era of friend ship. Although both United States and Argentine sources here have denied that any kind of “program” has been worked out among Peron, Messersmith and Foreign Minister Juan A. Bramuglia, reports persist that one has been formulated. SEVERE SHORTAGES OF MEAT FORECAST (Continued From Page One) pared to operate part time or shut down completely until the crisis has passed. At Washington, the OPA and De partment of Agriculture contem plated setting up a special inter agency committee to study the pos sinbility of rationing meats, fats an^ oils again. Livestock experts attributed the new meat crisis to restoration of OPA ceiling prices and to the al most unprecedented volume of livestock sales during the month in which the OPA did not operate. Shipments of stock from farm to slaughterhouse dipped from un usually high levels to record lows in the space of only a few days. For Newspaper Service Dial 2-3311 City Briefs ST. PAUL’S The Rev. B.

EWING MURDER TRIAL ALMOST DIDN’T HAPPEN (Continueu From Page One) tive W. D. Milner went to the fu neral home and examined the body, finding no less than 30 bruis. es on the head, arms, legs and torso. Shortly thereafter, Miner called on Ewing at his home and testified at the trial that when he asked the defendant what had happened to his wife, Ewing replied: “She died last night, poor soul.'1 “What caused her death?” the detective persisted. “She died of a heart attack,' Ewing answered, adding that a death certificate to that effect would be signed. Chief Worrell and the detectives then reported their findings to Solicitor F. Ertel CVarlyle, and the solicitor arranged that when the funeral was held, the body was lowered into the grave but the grave was not filled. Later the body was removed from the grave and taken to Duke hospital at Dur ham for an autopsy. Dr, Richard H. Follis, Jr., Duke Pathologist, testified that the au topsy realed that Mrs. Ewing’s death resulted from intercranial bleeding caused by an external force of great magnitude. At the trial, which began Aug. 27 and is not expected to reach the jury until Tuesday or Wednes day, the state has offered only cir cumstantial evidence that this blow was struck by Ewing. Several neighbors of the couple testified that they had seen Ewing beat his wife, curse her and threaten her life, and as a motive for the alleged murder, Solicitor Carlyle has presented witnesses who testfied that Ewing was inti mate with his sister-in-law, Miss Kate Sutherland, described as an attractive brunette in her late for ties. A subpoena for her to appear asa witness was marked “not to be found.” In its fight to save Ewing from the State’s gas chamber, the de fense called witnesses, including a Dsychiatrist, who testified that Ew. ing drank so excessively that his mind was affected so that he was incapable of planning and execut ing a murder. truckersTstrIke NUMBS NEW YORK (Continued From Page One) had been scheduled lor Mon day. “There will be a shortage of milk, but schools and hospitals will be kept in milk supply 100 per cent," the mayor said as he told of his emergency plans to move essential supplies. _ _ - - -—- . — — ^ .. . nl ^^^Rmb Bij^^F 1 ^^^R I Pn^Rjl ImOH^F^^^k ^Brnk.
