The security precautions gave unevpected reality to the traditio . al "search” tomorrow of the cellars under the houses of Parlia ment, which will be conducted as they have been for three centuries on the opening day of a new ses sion.

These, he said, would help hold down world price inflation, aid other nations to build up dollar credits and to rebuild devastated areas and industry. The Commerce secretary also urged corporations, when they in vest in other countries, to bring in as partners nationals of those na tions to avoid charges of “exploita tion.” MORE ABOUT LEWIS FROM PAGE ONE ed Friday with termination to take effect five days later — Nov. 20.

MORE ABOUT GRAHAM FROM PAGE ONE the Theoretical Physics depart ment, at the Clinton Laboratories, Oak Ridge, Tenn., will speak on the development of the bomb. A graduate of the University of Chi cago, Dr. Weinberg is section chief of the Oak Ridge theoretical physics section. Dr. J. R. Coe. director of the Oak Ridge chemistry department, will discuss technical aspects of atomic energy with reference to possibilities of a military defense against the bomb and the relation of existing military controls to de velopment of atomic power to peacetime uses. Dr. Walter Beard, of the Fair child Engine and Airplane cor poration, will talk on “What Hap pened at Bikini.” The conference program on the scientific aspects of atomic power will also include the film “A Tale of Two Cities,” which describes the effect of the bomb on Hiro shima and Nagasaki. Samuel R. Levering, of Mount Airy, chairman of the peace com mittee of theFriends, will speak twice on the evening program. He will talk first on the United States and Russian plans for con trol of atomic power and lead the conference’s final discussion on “What Shall the United States Do?” in the face of the atomic bomb challenge. MORE ABOUT RUSSIAN FROM PAGE ONE of these guards, a certain Childers, assaulted and badly beat a Negro passerby.

He explain ed in detail the purposes of the ‘Columbians’ to pressmen, who im mediately widely publicized the or ganization. “Or the night of October 30 a Negro home near where the beat ing occurred was damaged by a bomb. “Seemingly encouraged by wide spread publicity, the ‘Columbians’ have held mass meetings at which speakers denounced Negroes, Jews and Mrs. Roosevelt. “On November 2, Loomis and many other ‘Columbians’ began picketing the ‘Columbians’ and urged repeal of the charter per mitting the existence of this or ganization. “The Atlanta police were thus forced into action, and arrested Loomis and four others on the charge ‘disorderly conduct’.” ‘‘Loomis, however, is openly con temptuous of such legal actions. He boasts of wide support and as serts that there are already over 5,000 members in this organization in Atlanta, and that branches have been set up in other states.” MORE ABOUT LEGION FROM PAGE ONE tion, forerunner of independence, was conceived.” He also called upon veterans here and elsewhere in the state to support UN's efforts to keep the peace. ‘‘The United Nations is an or ganization of governments”, he said. ‘‘And to keep world peace, it will take something more than an organization of governments”. ‘‘If we fought In World War II to end all wars, as we supposedly aid in World War I, it will be up to veterans and such organizations as the American Legion to carry on as they did while serving in in the uniform of their country.” Eure praised the local Legion home as “the most beautiful ir. the Southland” and predicted that the local post would soon be the state’s largest. It is such organizations as this,” he declared, “that will help the veteran and make his purpose worthwhile.” AMERICANS OBSERVE DAY IN MANY PLACES By The Associated Press Americans around the world paid homage to the heroic dead of two World Wars in Armistice Day observanses yesterday in which President Truman and other leaders called for lasting peace. Several speakers warned against complete disarmament and urged the nation not to reveal atom bomb secrets now nor weaken its defenses. Mr. Truman, placing a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington National cemetery, said in a brief talk: “What we are trying to do now is to create a peace which will prevent the necessity of our grand children fighting a third World War for the same principals for which we stand now and have always stood.” He said the welfare of the United States and the world "are wrap ped up in one package—peace.” At Frankfurt, Germany, Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, likewise calling for “accomplishment and preservation of a lasting peace,” said past sacrifices will haveb een ir. vain “unless we of the occu pation army meet the responsibili ties today.” MORE ABOUT GOP FROM PAGE ONE bitions of bureau chiefs and depart ment executives.” Reduced Personnel The committee which bridges will head when he takes over the chairmanship from Senator Ken neth D. McKellar fD.-Tenn.) will be reduced in size from its present roster of 25 members to 21. Al though most smaller committees will consist of seven Republicans and six Democrats, GOP leaders are likely to insist upon a 12 to 9 margin on this group. Despite five vacancies on the present committee, that would force the retirement from the group of Senators Burnet R. Maybank (D.-S.C.) and Dennis Chavez <D. N.M.), the latest Democrats to join it, and would give the Re publicans three additional appoint ments.

Hubbard, director of the organization’s re search division. It showed a wide range in teacher salaries. In Mis sissippi, 23.2 percent of the teach ers were reported to be making less than $600 a year. The District of Columbia was at the other end of the list, with no teachers draw ing less than $2,000. “The brightest spots in the total picture,” the NEA said, “are to be found in the efforts to improve salary schedules. Much progress has been made in cities in recent months, and state legislative pro grams promise changes early in 1947. ‘‘Most of these steps forward have been taken in the large cities where a distinct movement is afoot to adopt salary schedules with $2,000 to $2,400 minimums and $4,000 to $4,500 maximums. In met ropolitan areas some of the new schedules may reach maximums between $5,000 and $6,000. A few county units have begun to com pete seriously with cities in the $2,000-$4,000 range.” MORE ABOUT PORT FROM SPORTS PAGE nel won’t be much more than 23 feet deep.” ‘‘Our company brings in eight to ten tankers a month. All of them are traveling light because of the channel's condition, and at least half could carry full loads if the shoals could be dredged out,” the oil shipping official declared. In the meanwhile, City Attorney William B. Campbell and Cyrus D. Hogue, chairman of the Wilming ton Port commission, will meet to day to draft a resolution request ing early action by President Tru man to unlock funds for dredging the channel. The resolution, back ed by the State Ports Authority, is believed to represent the city's best hope for early defrosting ac tion. Three other local shippers, con- ’ tacted last night, agreed that the local channel, already shallower as a result of wartime neglect, is shoaling up to a dangerous point. At the present time, the major effect of the cessation of mainte nance work has been the material lightening of cargoes and eight or ten hour delays caused by waits for the high tide which is needed to carry tankers up the river, they said. Ships drawing 29 feet are, for example, unable to negotiate the channel at low tide, one shipper said. Spokesmen for the Standard Oil company said they are awaiting the arrival this week of the Esso Memphis, their first ship to dock here in a month, to determine what has happened to the channel since all engineers’ dredging ceased last week. They estimated the river’s present depth as 28 feet. A Cape Fear terminal official said that lower Midnight Bar, the last channel point at which the Army engineers were working, was no more than 27 feet deep when the dredge Huston was called off the job there last week. MORE ABOUT AIRPORT FROM PAGE ONE whose facilities he described as “unsurpassed.” . “Wilmington will be the eastern operating terminus for our service”, he declared, “and, in addition to your airport’s outstanding charac ter, there are many advantages to using a route terminal as a main headquarters.” Berboth, who along with H. K. Gilbert, State’s president, and Howard W. Klotz, the chairman of its executive board, conferred with members of the Wilmington-New Hanover airport authority on his company’s plans last night, em phasized however that his com pany was not yet committed to locating its operating base here. The CAB is expected to rule on applications by State Airlines and 24 other companies to set up “feed er” routes in the Southern states early in 1947. A CAB examiner has already recommended that State be given authority to operate across North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio. “We are an applicant for a fran chise and one of many applicants”, Berboth pointed out, “The CAB ex aminers have twice ruled in our favor but naturally we are still 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.

Get INNER AID. Sold by all drug stores. awaiting the board’s final de cision”. State would be in a position to begin its services within six months after a favorable CAB ruling, he continued. The company, assuming it gets its franchise, will use twin-engin ed Douglas DC-3’s at the outset, Berboth said. “But we are considering several types of new planes, not necessari ly larger, but faster and more ec onomical”, he concluded. Last night th'e airline officials were guests of the local airport authority and City Industrial Agent John M. Farrell at an oyster roast in the Marina Grill. They expect to remain here this morning for further conferences. The State party had landed at Bluethenthal field shortly after noon yesterday. Gilbert, as the com pany’s president, praised the local airport highly shortly after land ing and expressed confidence that “if Wilmington becomes a route terminal point for State Airlines, it will greatly benefit both the city and the company”. Howard Summerall, pilot of the company’s Stinson plane, said last night that Bluethenthal is one of the finest airports he has ever land ed on. --- MORE ABOUT MAN FROM SPORTS PAGE the U.
