MORE ABOUT 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.

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. Copyright, 1D46, New York Tribune Inc. MORE ABOUT ' BEAMS !

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.

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.
