CAPE FEAR
FROM FAGE ONE
EXPANSION PLANS— Widening
the channel and the turning basin
as proposed by the Army En
gineers will require the removal
of approximately four and a half
million subic yards of earth and one
hundred thousand cubic yards of
rock.
The deepening of the channel to
32 feet will see approximately six
million cubic yards of earth and
one hundred and fifteen thousand
cubic yards of rock removed from
the old Cape Fear.
And what will the price tag be
on a job of this scope? Well, the
estimated cost of the improvements
recommended in the Rivers and
Harbors Bill is approximately $1,
465,000.
Thanks to the U. S. Engineer
office here we will be able to give
you almost any piece of informa
tion concerning the physical char
acteristics of the old Cape Fear.
With our head bowed in shame,
however we must admit that we
have not as yet been able to track
down the first store to use electric
lights on the banks of the Cape
Fear.

nally, do not want them to go. The
Republican Senators have issued a
statement saying that the com
mittee is trying “desperately to
conceal something wrong.”
This is a curious accusation. One
of the four Republicans who made
it is Senator Ferguson of Michi
gan, and he is saying that his
colleague. Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan,' is trying “desperately to
conceal something wrong” in order
to protect the Administration. But
if Senator Vandenberg is trying to
conceal a wrong, then Senator
Ferguson should be opposed to his
assuming the chairmanship of the
Foreign Relations Committee of
the Senate.
• * •
The real issue is whether condi
tions of military government in
Germany should be investigated by
the standing committee of the
Senate responsible for foreign re
lations or by a special committee
which has no responsibility for for
eign relations. There is no question
of concealing wrongs. For Repub
licans will control all the commit
tees of the Senate. The only ques
tion is whether a committee which
is charged with foreign relations
or one that is not charged with
them, should deal with a most
delicate problem in foreign re
lations.
The views of the Senate on the
principle involved were expressed
last spring when the Senate voted
in its version of the Lafollette
Monroney bill to prohibit entirely
all special committees. In the final
act this provision (Sec. 126) was
deleted at the insistence of the
House but, nevertheless, this may
be taken as the disinterested
judgement of the Sen&te. It is that
special committees are undesir
able, and that if Senator Vanden
berg is to be Chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee, then
there should not be another com
mittee run by Senators Brewster,
Ferguson, Ball and Knowland, in
terfering in foreign relations.
• » •
The subsistence of what Senator
Brewster wants to investigate is
known and has already been pub
lished. There are evils that call for
correction. But sending Senator
Brewster to Germany is no way to
correct them. That will only
humiliate the United States in the
presence of the Allies and of the
German people, and make it ap
pear — quite falsely—that Ameri
can military government is spe
cially and peculiarly bad. That is
not true. But it would be made to
seem to be true, and the effect on
the negotiations would be wholly de
structive.

daily fines. Judge Goldsborough
has the power to impotse an un
limited fine or jail sentence if he
wishes.
Hits People
The coal strike which Lewis re
fused to call off moved closer to
the average citizen Tuesday night
with these actions:
1. The Interstate Commerce
commission ordered a general em
bargo on railroad freight ship
ments, except for certain vital
needs. »
2. With Christmas only three
weeks off, the Post Office depart
ment limited the size and weight
of parcel post packages.
3. The Office of Defense Trans
portation ordered another 25 per
cent slash in passenger service on
coal-burning railroads—making 50
per cent in all.
The freight and parcel post con
trols become effective Thursday
midnight. The passenger order
takes effect Sunday night.
President Truman, commanding
the government’s battle with Lewis,
met reporters but declined to com
ment on the crisis. He said he was
leaving the situation in the hands
of the court.
Federal Judge Goldsborough, in
i soft, hardly adudible voice, pro
ounced his verdict by agreeing to
the conclusions proposed to him by
be U. S. Justice department.
Guilty of Contempt
Those conclusions, made public
two hours later, showed the judge
lad found both Lewis and his union
—the United Mine workers. AFL—
;uilty of “civil contempt’’ and
ciimmai coniempi. '
The document said Lewis and the
jnion had “unlawfully coerced in
stigated, induced, and encouraged”
the miners to interfere with the
Dperation of the government-owned
:oal mines “by strike, slow-down,
walkout, cessation of work, or oth
srwise.”
This language suggested that the
Government next May prosecute
jewis as an alleged violator of
he War Labor Disputes act (Smith
“onnally act). This law forbids any
one to encourage a strike against
;he government.
The document also said Lewis
and the union “obstructed” the
United States in its exercises of
sovereign functions.
Goldsborough rules Lewis and
■he union in contempt because
hey did not obey his restraining
irder of Nov. 18. That order, if
ibeyed, would have headed off the
lituminous coal walkout which oc
:urred at midnight Nov. 20. Lewis
iad given notice he was breaking
>ff his contract with the govern
nent, and the judge’s action of
*ov. 18 ordered him not to let this
lotice stay in effect.
Historic Verdict
Today’s historic verdict against
-ewis came on the 13th day of
hat walkout. More and more of the
lation’s industry felt the pinch as
oal-piles shrank. And the outlook
or getting the men back to work
vas as gloomy as ever.
Edward R. Bure, who wanted the

Ford Motors To Stop

DETROIT, Dec. 3.— GD —Ford
Motor Co. said Tuesday its manu
facturing operations will stop when
the freight embargo becomes effec

The general embargo of freight
shipments, announced in Washing

and auto parts.
Chrysler Corp. officials said the
company “will finitely be affect
ed,’’ but would not make a flat
shutdown statement.
Ernest R. Breech, Ford executive
vice-president, said that final as
sembly operations will continue for
a few days to exhaust stock in tran
sit.
‘‘It is estimated that a total of
15,000 Ford employes will be
thrown out of work on a national
basis when the final assembly work
is halted,” he added.
“We can’t operate,” the General
Motors sources said, "if we can’t
ship materials and the finished
product.” They added the corpora

workers.

4. The Association of American
railroads embargoes freight, ex
cept for food and fuel, intended
for overseas shipment.
27-Day Supply
In announcing the general em
bargo ODT Director J. Monroe
Johnson said he “acted upon re
ports indicating that the railroads
have on hand a 27-day supply of
coal based upon the present rate
of consumption.’
In anouncing the general em
bargo, the ICC said:
“Only by a most careful husband
ing of the remaining railroad co_l
stocks can common carrier rail
road service be prolonged. To ac
complish this end, transportation
of the most essential traffic only
must be permitted.
“The commission is of the opin
ion that an emergency requiring
immediate action exists in all
sections of the country.’’
Exempt from the ICC order are
certain essential commodities. In
addition, permits will be issued
for the local movement of certain
other articles.
The action came after announce
ment by the Association of Ameri
can Railroads that an embargo on
freight destined for overseas ex
port, except for food and fuel, will
go into effect at midnight Tuesday
night, as a result of the fuel short
age stemming from the coal strike.
Weight Limit
The Post Office department said
acceptance of parcel post pack
ages in the mails will be limited
to those weighing not in excess of
five pounds and measuring not
more than 18 inches in length and
60 inches in length and girth com
bined.
The present limitations on the
si2e and weight of parcel post pack
ages are 70 pounds and 100 inches
in length and girth combined.
Acting Postmaster General Jesse
’M. Donaldson said the embargo is
being put into effect at the request
of the Olfice of Defense Transporta
tion as a result of the coal crisis.
Donaldson emphasized that the
embargo does not apply to pack
ages being sent to members of the
armed forces serving overseas.
The freight embargo, ordered by
the AAR car service division, ap
plies also to freight intended for
storage in port areas.
Announcing the freight embargo,
the Interstate Commerce commis
sion declared that rail service can
be prolonged “only by the most
careful husbanding” of remaining
coal stocks.
The Office of Defense transporta
tion, in announcing the passenger
mileage cut, said in a statement
that it "acted upon reports indica
ting that the railroads have on
hand a 27-day supply of coal based
upon the present rate of consump
tion.”
Hits Shoppers
The parcel post limitation strikes
hard at countless,persons now en
gage in shopping for gifts for out
-of-town friends and relatives. The 1
limit of five jtounds per package
competes with the present limit of
70 pounds.
Certain essential articles will be
exempt from \the general order. In
addition, permits will be issued for
local movement of some others.
The ICC named Warren C. Kendall
as its general permit agent with
full authority over issuing permits.
Kendall is chairman of the car

Civil War.
While his father lost every thing
he had during the war, his orphan
Max Gardner is reported to have
made more than a million dollars,
chiefly in the textile business.
Failing to get an appointment to
West Point, Gardner studied at the
University of North Carolina where
he developed talent for public
speaking, football and baseball. He
was graduated in law at the age
of 25, and practiced in Shelby from
1907 until elected governor in 1939.
Gardner is a long-time friend oi
Secretary of State Byrnes. He fre
quently worked as a Carolina law

Spartanburg, was only about 40

Josephus Daniels, former am

to place Gardner in politics when
he made him state organizer of the
Young Men’s Democratic club in
1908.
Gardner met his only political
defeat when he lost the Democratic
nomination for governor in 1920.
As depression governor of his
state he cut more than ten million
dollars from legislative appropria

the budget. His slogan was “Re
organization, Retrenchment and
Consolidation.”
Gardner came in for criticism
from both labor and management
for his stand on strikes during his

one attacked his methods of en
forcing order; the other his insist
