Nathan S. Hasket, Sr., chair man. said that the only thing he knew about a change in personnel in the department is what he has read in a Wilmington paper, and subsequent rumors by the man on the street. In denying reports that there might be a shakeup, Haskett said “the rumors are ungrounded so far as the CSC is concerned." "Such a thing would be impossible for the Commission to undertake without a formal complaint,” he declared. Haskett said further that it is the unanimous opinion of the Com mission that such action would be impossible. Meanwhile the Commission is hard put to it to -make certifica tions of applicants to fill vacancies created when former officers H. L. Gurley and Roy Grisselt were fired from the force charged w'ith store breaking, larceny and receiv ing, he added. According to Haskett a month will probably be required before the vacancies can be filled because of the lack of proper application blanks. A letter was in the hands of the Commission Friday night asking certification of applicants to be appointed to the force to fill the vacancies. Six men have been ask ed for by Chief of Police Charles H. Casteen. There are a number of appli cants, Haskett said, but forms must be filled before certification can be made. U. S.

Last night the followers of tin. tradition were preparing for then yearly trek to the residence of the undergound weather porfit. In Wilmington, as throughout the- country, the tradition is fol lowed and today the question will be “wonder if the Groundhog saw his shadow.” Today Hr.

McCarthy Says Move May Temper Some Legis lation Being Studied WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—(A3)—A plan of construction contractors and the AFL to arbitrate pay and other disputes with the aim of avoiding strikes was announced today by President Truman as a “notable step along the road to labor peace.’’ It sets up machinery for “final and binding” arbitration. The actual submission of disputes to this binding arbitration remains a matter for voluntary action by the disputing parties, but they pro mised “to exert every effort to see that these procedures are used whenever possible.” Mr. Truman said this agreement plus recent settlements in the rub: ber and steel industries signals a widespread trend toward labor set tlements “without resort to force.’’ By emphasizing this succession of triumphs for “free collective bargaining,” the President made it obvious to his news conference that he hopes congress is listening in and will shun the more severe labor-curbing bills before it. Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) gave the opinion it is an “important development.” If it proves.Jrsg|gjjfcL! able, he told reporters, "it might well temper some of the labor legislation now' being considered —making it unnecessary to take (Continued on Page Two, Col. 5) — Turbulent Teachers Back Pay Hike Move HIGH POINT, Feb. 1.— (A5) —A turbulent group of 200 schoolteach ers, representing the 16 counties in the northwestern district of the North Carolina Education Associa tion, today advanced R.

The vote, advocating Fritts, prin cipal of the Hudson school in the district, came during an agitated session during which the delegates also approved the South Piedmont teacher wage scale bill now pend ing in the general assembly. A written suggestion from R. L. Smith, Greensboro superintendent, that the group proceed with “cau tion and dignity” drew boos from the delegates who greeted with loud applause the declaration by J.

C., Feb. 1.—A coroners jury today faced the problem “how did the gun, shells and Locklear happen to be in same place” when an inquest was held following a shooting near Holly Ridge Fri day night, resulting in the deaths of two men. The affray was described as “one of the 1 bloodiest in the history of the county” and 1 resulted in the death of two men and the arrest of seven others. Dead are Graham D.

Feb. 1.— (£>) —A House Judiciary subcommittee to day ordered public hearings Mon day to speed action on measures limiting the time one man may hold the presidency. Nine proposals are before the committee, all constitutional amendments which would require approval of the House and Senate by two-thirds majorities and rati fications by three-fourths of the states. Seven, differing in some details, would limit a President to two terms of four years each. The other two would make the Presidential term six years, instead of four as at present, and limit an executive to one term. The issue stems directly from the controversies over Franklin D. Roosevelt’s third and fourth terms but Chairman Michener (R-Mich) of the Judiciary committee would go further and prevent political headaches like those which have arisen from the death of a Presi dent in office. One of those came when Theo dore Roosevelt split the republican vote by running independently as a “bull mooser" after first succeed ing to the Presidency upon the death of William McKinley and then being elected in his own right. The other developed during Cal vin Coolidge's occupancy of the White House and was only partial ly dispelled by his historic state ment, “I do not choose to run.' which took him out of a contest for reelection.

Officer In Bitter Exchange BERLIN, Feb. 1— (fP) —The American and Russian comman ders of Berlin engaged in a bitter personal exchange over labor policy today in the most serious now that has come into the open since four-power government was established here. In an unprecedented attack on a colleague in the Allied com mandanture. Maj. Gen. Alexander Kotikov, the Soviet commander, aired in the German press the secret proceedings of a comman dature meeting and charged Col. Frank L. Howley American deputy commander, with attempting to “sabotage” a proposed Berlin trade union election. Col. Howley, in turn, declared in a statement that Kotikov was trying to hide the truth. “We have a policy of not wash ing our dirty linen before the Germans” said another high Amer ican official. “This is a plain case of dirty poker.” “Never before has a Russian commander, and we have had four of them in Berlin, stooped to in sult his allies in the German press,” said Howley in his state ment.

Cannon (D-Mo) said today that if world leaders can guarantee peace, the United States could save some $16,000,000,000 in the next fiscal year. Canon, ranking JJemo-J crat on the House Appropriations Committee, did his calculating as Chairman Carroll Reece of the Republican National Committee urged the GOP rank and file to support efforts of their Congress men to trim what he called Presi dent Truman’s “outrageously pad ed” budget. Mr. Truman’s estimate for spend ing in the year beginning July 1 is $37,500,000,000. Cannon figur ed that $5,000,000,000 of this is un touchable, being set for interest payments on the national debt. But as for the remaining $32,500,000, 000 he said: “If we are to have no war, then w'e could cut the budget in two. We should wait until after the in ternational situation has been clear ed up so that u»e can more accurate ly measure our needs in the light of potential military require ments.” ' Cannon specifically suggested that all the talk about how much to spend and how' much to tax be halted until after the Moscow meeting of foreign ministers next month. Reece’s appeal to his party mem bers also asked them to back up L their leaders in Congress on “a substantial cut in individual income taxes.” This, he vvorte 7,500 party of fice-holders and officers, was pro mised ‘‘definitely and unequivo cally” by “Republican spokesmen” in the 1946 campaign, and “now the time has come to keep the promises.’” Senator Lucas (D-Ill) immediate ly said in a statement that Reece's letter “is an admission” that the GOP rank and file has deserted t h e leadership in “its absolutely fantastic” effort to cut taxes “be fore they know what the govern ment is going to cost.” “This indicates, too.” he said, “the Republican leaders are alarm ed at the reaction to the position they have taken in the bill by Rep. Knutson (R-Minn) proposing a 20 per cent across the board tax slash, •which, as Rep. Engel (R-Miichl pointed out, gives little relief to small incomes and large benefits tc large incomes.” Reece told the party members the 1946 GOP promises, including (Continued on Page Three, Col. 1) 10 iigiii an an-uui oniian uuvc suppress violence in the Holy Land.
