S., Britain, Argentina Preventing Dictator’s Fall new YORK, Nov. 24—(A5)— The Nation’s Associates and the friends of the Spanish Re public charged in a memoran dum to the United Nation’s assembly Sunday night that ,he United States, Great Brit ain and Argentina are pre venting the fall of the Franco government in Spain by giving it financial and economic sup port. The memorandum, submit ted by Freda Kirchwey, presi dent of the Nation associates, a private organization, and William L. Shirer, chairman of the friends of the Spanish Republic, requested that the United Nations members break diplomatic relations with Fran co Spain and recognize the Spanish republic as the legit imate government. The memorandum offered what was described as docu mentary evidence “to show that the protestations of op position to Franco have been con*- evened by the economic and financial support given him in the last year since first the United Nations acted to bar him from membership in the organization.” Simultaneously, the two or ganizat1 —>s requested Pres ident Truman and Secretary of State Byrnes to issue a di rective to the American dele gation to the United Nations to support the action proposed in the memorandum.

Off Land’s End, the 1,791-ton Joseph B- Cressey, her engine room flooded by high seasons, was be ing escorted to port. Farther up the South coast, lifeboats sought the 773-ton Ayrshire Coast which had sent an SOS. At St. David’s, Wales, authori ties abandoned hope o fany surviv ors of the 306-ton steamer Empire Albany. Three bodies washed ashore were believed members of the Albany’s 10-man crew. At Plymouth the 60-mile-an hour gale prevented a launch with doctors aboard from bringing two gravely injured seamen ashore from the American merchant ship Zona Gale. The men, named Kern and Klep pinger, were hurt when a giant wave hit the ship, sweeping over board 20 horses that were being taken to Germany. Doctors and ambulance men stood by in hope of making another attempt to reach the ship.

Byrnes would not oppose an investigation of U. S. occupation policies in Ger many by the House or Senate Foreign Affairs Committees, but he is unalterably against an inquiry by the Senate War Investigating committee, it was revealed Sunday night. The War Investigating commit tee inquisition, which is being pro moted vigorously by some Repub licans, would send investigators tc Europe to look into financing, troop behavior and other aspects of the U. S. occupation of Germany and Austria. Byrnes, who reportedly gave his views to the War Investigating committee in secret session re cently, is known to feel that a pub lic airing of defects in occupation policy would undermine American prestige in trerxuany auu uuust uie stock of the Russians. Sources close to the secretary say he is fully aware of the disciplinary problems connected with the troops in Germany. But they say he feels that the blame must rest squarely on Congress which rushed demobil ization last year, forcing occupa tion officials to draw on "raw re cruits, totally unsuited for occupa tion duty.” "Witch Hunt” They say Byrnes is now conduct ing a "witch hunt” of his own to discover, as often charged, if any See WITCH HUNT on Page Two YULETIDE LIGHTS START WEDNESDAY Christmas Decorations To Continue Until January Second The city’s Christmas lights were dark last night, and City Manager J. R. Benson said that they won’t go on again until Wednesday. The Yuletide festoon, turned on prematurely Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in honor of visiting Eastern North Carolina Shriners, burned briefly Saturday in a minor :omedy of errors that saw some administration confusion about their schedule. Benson, who gave the order turn ing the lights on Saturday, sa'd last night they will stay dark un til Wednesday. After that, they will remain lighted until Jan. 2— that is, if John Lewis and In terior Secretary Krug are willing. The lights had a trial run Wednes day, Thursday and Friday at the request of City Councilman James E. L. Wade, who was also program :hairman for the Shrine ceremonial lere. Today And Tomorrow By WALTER LIPPMANN M. BEVIN’S CRITICS What are we to make cthe fact that Mr. Bevin’s critics on the back benches say that Ameri can imperialism is leading Britain into trouble and that Mr. Byrnes has been criticizd by Mr. Wallace on the ground that British im perialism is leading America into trouble? The easy thing to do is to pretend to be amused, pointing out how neatly the charges cancel each other out, and then to be indignant and say that fellow travelers are dividing Britain from America in the interests of the Soviet Union. But it will be wiser to recognize that these in cidents are the symptoms of a deeper trouble, and not to imagine that by refuting the arguments we have disposed of the trouble. For though the British-Ameri can partnership is indissoluble, we must not suppose that automati cally it will therefore be a hap>py and successful marriage. The back benchers of the labor party who complain about America and the followers of Mr. Henry Wallace who complain about Britain may be the most outspoken, but they are not the only, nor are they the most important, representatives of the divisions and the disharmonies within the British-American part nershp. Nothing could be furthur from See LIPPMANN On Page Two Bevin Challenges Motives Of Troop Inventory ■Im mam APPEARING FOR THE FIRST TIME before the U.N.

Listening are (1. to r.): Gromyko, Molotov, interpreter Pavlov, Uruguay’s Ambassador Mac Eachen and U. S. Senator Tom Connally.

The test of strength between Wyatt and other agencies which have paid small heed to his di rectives, Wyatt’s aides said private ly. appears to be near the show down stage. Currently at issue, it was stated, is a proposal of the Civilian Pro duction administration to lift the allocation controls from steel pro ducts for the duration of the coal strike, as was done during the 59-day miners’ walkout last spring.

A high pressure area entered United States from Canada Sun: day morning, pushing temperatures in Eastern Montana down to near the zero mark and is moving East See WINTER on Page Two Along The Cape Fear FRATERNAL ORDERS — The recent tall ceremonial of the Nobles of Sudan temple of the Shrine brings to mind the fact that Wilmington has long been famous for its fraternal organizations in addition to being one of the most popular cities in the Old North State as a convention site. A quick survey of a 1889 issue of The Star reveals that lodges were numerous in the Port City at that date. There were six masonic lodges, four lodges of the Knights of Fythio, and two lodges of the In dependent Order Odd Fellows. Don’t think for a moment that that constituted all of the city’s fraternal organizations in the 1880’s. OTHER GROUPS — Represent ed in Wilmington were also the Knights of Honor, the Royal Ar canum, American Legions of Honor, Independent Order B’nai B’rith, K. S. B., Improved Order of Red Men, the U. S. Benevolent Fraternity, and the Hibernian Benevolent Society. A glance at the officers’ list of the Hibernian society will dispell any fear of the organization not be ing an Irish one. Wags have great fun in reeling off such names as Signgigo, Strch meyer, Mastrangelo, Czarobski, Zilly, Lujack, Stitko, Mello, Swis towicz, and Kosikowski as among the more famous of Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish gridmen this year. But no finer sons of Erin could be found than the officers of Wil mington’s Hibernian Society in the 1880’s. . Mr. Martin O'Brien was presi dent and Mr. John H. Sweeney was the vice president. The treasurer of the organization was Mr. L. Brown and should that name not be Irish enough to please the most fastidious Mr. William Flanagan was the assistant secre tary. Mr. William Sheehan, Jr., served as assistant secretary. MASONIC LODGES — Announce ments by the Masonic lodges in the 1880’s listed the St. John’s Lodge No. 1, the Wilmington Lodge No. 319, the Orient Lodge No. 395, Concord Chapter, No. 1, Royal Arch Masons; Wilmington Council, No. 1, Royal and Select Masons; See CAPE FEAR On Page Two Democr a t i c Constitution Carries In U. S. Zone; Other Elections By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Elections were held yesterday ir four European and South American countries, with the Communists leading in France but trailing in Belgium, on the basis of early re turns. In the Wuerttemberg-Baden state of the American occupation zone in Germany, where a democratic con stitution was overwhelmingly- ap proved, the Conservative Christian Social union lost some votes, and the Communists gained strength, but American officials said it was still too early to judge relative party positions. In Uruguay, where the people balloted for officials from president to city councils and also voted on two constitutional amendments, tabulations were delayed. The French Communists, battl ing to reinforce their claims to the premiership of the fourth republic’s first government, won 30.5 per cent of less than half the total popular votes expected, the unofficial count showed early to day. ■» m Y* ti n ._-a OVVWUU President Georges Bidault’s popular Republican movement (MRP) was close behind with 26.9 per cent.

Reaves was injured in both, arms and legs and in the face. Robert Shepherd, was given treatment for slight burns on his hands and feet. BROWN-OUT ORDER UNLIKEY IN CITY Local Power Company Not Notified Of Restrictions On Current The Tide Water Power company had received no Federal order to curtail its power uses in face of the nationwide coal strike late last night, according to Albert £. Jones, its vice president. The Civilian Prcduction Admin istration’s brown-out order, sched uled to go into effect at 6 o’clock tonight, is not expected to reach far south of the Maryland Vir ginia line for the next few days. ‘‘I don’t think the southeast will go into a ‘brovjn out’ in the near future, unless we ere asked to di vert power into the north,” Jones declared. The lengthy siege war which -the United Mine Workers (AFL) is reported ready to wage against the soft coal operators can, how ever, ultimately produce serious consequences for this area's power supply. Contrary to general belief, Jones pointed out last night, most of this section’s power supply depends ul timately on steam generation. City Manager J R. Denson said that he is ready to assist Tide Water in any conservation mea sures it may eventually take.
