GUAM RESIDENTS HISS LIEUT. TWEED Stage Demonstration Against Navy Officer Who Hid From Japanese AGANA, Guam, Sept. 16 —W-® _ Navy Lt. George Tweed, who hid from the Japanese on Guam •fnr 31 months, was booed and his ,/d as a •‘deserter” Monday by , crowd of Guam residents led by a Catholic priest. Tweed had returned to Guam to present an automobile to the na tive who sheltered him during the Japanese occupation. . He was being introduced to the crowd in Agan’s historic P'aza De Espano by Capt. Milton Ander son, New York city, navy cm adminitrator for Guam, when 100 demonstrators carrying placards, marched booing and hissing into the square. Father Oscar Calvo, leader ol the group, told correspondents that Tweed, in his book, ‘‘Robin son Crusoe, USN,” said ‘ Father Luenas betrayed secrets of a con fession.” Tweed jumped from tne Dana stand, angrily ripped to shreds and trampled one sign which said, “What About Tweed's Desertion in the Face of the Enemy?” “You are a bunch of lousy rats,” Tweed shouted. Resent Accusations “338,000,000 Catholics resent your Among the other signs were false accusations,” “we resent Tweed'- presence on this island,” “we demand Tweed’s ejection from Guam,” and “thank your maker Guam is safe — now git. ’ Tweed’s book, ghost written by Blake Clark, inferred that Father Duenas, who was martyred, had revealed Tweed’s hiding place to! his followers and also had yield-1 ed information to the Japanese under torture. The book said that “Father Duenas left the confession booth and told so many people where I had gone that word got to the Japanese. They tortured him until he broke down and told them 1 had gone to Juan Pangalinen. The Japanese were furious he had not reported this earlier and killed the priest.” After a brief flurry of shouting, Father Calvo and his crowd marched away in an orderly pro cession. Calvo Inspired “This demonstration you wit nessed was inspired by Calvo,” Tweed told reporters. “I talked to the Catholic bishop Sunday night1 about this presentation. He said the church was not concerned in ! any way.” Then Tweed, the only pfe-war suvivor of the Guam occupation, presented a new automobile to Antonio Artero, “who fed me for one year and nine months while I was hiding fr^m the Japanese.” MORE ABOUT LOCKS FROM PAGE ONE houses in this huge port, food and freight piled up. Outside the piers the MU pickets paced, men tem porarily without jobs and without salary. — More unemployment was in sight from the trucking strike. The Com merce and Industry association estimated that stores and factor ies, idle for lack of incoming ma terials, might have 1,500,00 — roughly a sixth of the city’s pop ulation—laid off by the end of the week. Nearly 1,000 chain grocery stores were shut tight. Many others had bare shelves. Some stores limited customers to one pack of cigaret tes. Fresh meat was a rarity. Can ned goods stocks dwindled fast. Newspapers were hard hit. Usually the biggest in America, they were turning out puny sheets of 16 and even 8 pages. None of them carried any advertising. New | Yorkers, used to spending Sundays *nd part of the rest of the week reading the multi-section Sunday newspapers, finished the funny sheets and the skimpy news sec tions in 15 minutes. Hotels Quiet The dining rooms of the big hotels, usually alive with the music •f the nation’s name bands, were •Cent as a musicians’ strike con tinued. Business was off 40 to 50 per cent. The musicians, notoriously long haired, had plenty of time for hair cuts. But 2,500 barbers in mid town. Manhattan went on strike. Tliey took 350 manicurists out with them. Texas has a post office named “Divot.”_ Cooked A Fine Dinner; Then Threw It To Dog One lady recently stated that she used to throw her own dinner to the dog most of the time. It made her sick just to look at anything to eat. She was swollen with gas, full of bloat, had headaches, felt •worn out and was badly constipated. Finally she got INNER-AID and says she now eats everything in sight and digests it perfectly. Bowels are regular and normal. She is enjoying life once more and feels like "some other woman” since taking this New Compound. 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! Get INNER AID. Sold by all drug stores. j MORE ABOUT CITY-COUNTY FROM PAGE ONE : ocassions has flown week-end va cationists here from Indianapolis, Ind. Further, other airlines such as Delta and Pennsylvania-Central, have approached the authority with “feelers” for the possible estab lishment of routes through Wil mington. To handle this heavy and impor tant air traffic in a manner which will “do credit” to Wilmington and New Hanover county as well as to the airport itself, the improvement program is “of utmost necessity, the authority said. The program will center on the officer’s club building built by the Army during the war and on a plane-loading apron situated be tween the building and one of the field’s 7,000-foot runway*. The club will be revamped into a modern administration building complete with dining room, bar, waiting room, lounges, and airline offices. The apron will be constructed to accomodate a minmum of three planes at once. The present tem porary apron can handle only one plane at a time. In all, the piesent facilities would be "exceedingly inade quate" to take care of the airport’s anticipated business expansion, the authority declared. During a recent visit here, John Morris, special assistant to G. T. Baker, president of National Air lines, told the authority that the building and apron plans, if carried out as proposed, would give the air port “one of the best and most attractive airport facilities any where between New York and Miami,” the authority said. Although the beard of county commissioners turned down a re quest recently for funds for the program, Addison Hewlett, board chairman has indicated that coun ty money may be furnished if the city government agrees to “share the cost” s;nce the airport is “as much a city as a county asset,” Meanwhile, the program will re main on paper until funds are forthcoming. MORE ABOUT CAPE FEAR FROM PAGE ONE to America that I will come and see you. “Please to give my best respects: to my brother and all inquiring friends and tell them that through the mercy of God I am well and enjoying good health and believe me to be your dutiful son 'til death,' “John Morgan.” • • • STUCK IN STAPLETON — We know what you are thinking. You are thinking that this letter is worded in a manner foreign to the style used by the American boys of World War II. Well, you are right. That letter; was written in the Stapleton1 Prison, England, on Febru ary 26, 1812. But the writer, John Morgan, was pure American, a id his home was in Holly Ridge, North Carolina. It seems that John, a merchant; mariner, thought he had a chance i of making “a good voyage to! France,” as the letter says, but I the British captured his slip' and stuck him in Stapleton. You can’t keep a good American, particularly a Holly Ridgean, be hind bars forever, and John came back to his mother, Mrs. Eliza beth Autry, as he promised. And some time after his return he dug a drainage ditch at Holly Ridge which is still there and which is still called, aptly enough, “Mor gan's Ditch.” IN THE OPEN — For this letter and story we are indebted to Mr. Theodore Ottaway, of Holly Ridge. John Morgan was the great-uncle of Solomon E. Ottaway, also of Holly Ridge, who was Theodore’s grandfather. When Solomon died at the age of 94 he left behind a big batch of papers. In this batch Theodore found this letter, ana he promptly brought it in to us .thinking we might be interested in it. We are indeed interested in it, not only because it is interesting m itself but especially because it bolsters our theory that most prisoners are probably good fel lows who deserve consideration ., Pf *;?u5se’ as we said before, th s all harks back to the '’con ditioning” we got from listening to the sad “Nashville” song and we don’t want to be misunder stood to the point where folk, might think we’d like to be behind bars ourself..

COURT’S RULING AIDS GAMBLERS California Judge Says State Helpless In Case Of Lux LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16. — OJ.R)— The state of California is powerless to prevent gambling on the high seas, a judge ruled Monday in re fusing to hold “admiral” Tony Cornero Stralla for trial on gambl ing conspiracy charges. Municipal Judge Eugene P. Fay ruled, however, Stralla and three associates should stand trial on charges of taking patrons to a place where they might gamble. The judge said there is no ques tion that gambling on the high seas is legal under federal laws and California statutes cannot be used to prevent it. He felt that Stralla and his aides had offered inducements to bring people to the ship and there was sufficient evidence for trial of the four on charges of conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor. Judge Fay said the fact that a parking lot adjacent to the wat*r taxi dock had a sign on it “Lux parking lot” was an inducement to patrons. He also found that another inducement was that patrons did not have to ask to be taken to the Lux when they boarded the water taxis.

She was dressed in an old blouse, a skirt of sack ing, and had bare feet,” he told the court.

He had interviewed German Foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop about collaboration between Japan anri Germany.

' CHURCH ASKING WORLD CONGRESS i _ Episcopalians Back Plea From Roberts That UN Be Replaced PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16. — (A>) — An elected legislative body should be established to replace the present United Nations, the house of deputies of the Protestant Epis copal declared today at the church’s 55th triennial convention. A resolution urging such interna tional action was adopted after the presiding officer, former Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts, re linquished his post temporarily to plead with the delegates that the United Nations offers no security against war. “The United Nations is good only as long as the great triple alliance agrees,” Roberts said in an im passioned address. Meanwhile the house of bishops of the church, meeting in closed session, nominated candidates to succeed the retiring presiding bis hop, the Rt. Rev. Henry St. George Tucker. Names of the nominees remain ed, under church canons, a closely guarded secret. The bishops meet tomorrow morning after commun ion services to select the new pre siding bishop. His name then will be sent by messenger to the house of deputies for concurrence. In another development, the women’s auxiliary asked the trien nial convention to give women equal rights with men under church law by officially changing the interpretation of “layman” to include members of both sexes. The house of deputies refused last week to make such a change but is scheduled to reconsider its ac tion before the convention ends. John Milton Potter, president of Hobart College, Geneva, N.
