The committee voted over whelmingly in favor of the com promise plan after it had voted down amendments which would have provided slightly higher in creases to the raacuers.

Ker mon last night indicated that any feasible change in the present civil service law which would be of benefit to the city of Wilming ton would receive his support. In outlining his stand on the civil service matter, which was brought into the limelight by a resolution recently adopted by the city council calling for changes in the present law, Kermon point ed to the fact that when he was a candidate for state representa tive he stated he did not con template any action toward ef fecting changes in either ‘he civil service law or the local form of government. "Up to the present time I have not deviated from that opinion.” Kermon said last night. “If, how ever, in meeting with represen tatives of the police department, the fire department, the civil service commission and the ad ministration a feasible plan is worked out satisfactory to Sen ator Lennon and myself and Mr. Lennon introduces legislation, em bodying the same, I will support his measure.” "I realize fully well,” he as serted, "that conditions have somewhat changed since last spring.” Kermon pointed out that mat ters may be presented at Satur day’s meeting of representatives of the police department, the civil service commission and the city’s governing body with Len (Continued On Page Five, Col. 3) WEATHERMAN SAYS CLEAR SKIES TO ACCOMPANY COLD The mercury has been slowly dropping since yesterday morn ing, the local weather bureau says, and was expected to go as low as 30 degrees early this morning.

Authority Aid Bills Before Committees ' • k-■ - Introduced By S styaion, Lennon Call /^/ror $50,000 Grant 32 CO-SPONSORS Wilmington Representative Believes Assembly Will Pass Appropriation The State Ports Authority bills calling for a $50,000 yearly appro priation, which were introduced in the house and senate of the State Legislature yesterday b y Rep. Kermon and Sen. Lennon, were before appropriations committees today. Rep. Kermon$said last night that in view of the fact that both mea sures , introduced simultaneously in noth branches of the General Assembly, had the endorsement of 12 house members and 20 senators as' co-sponsors, he felt they would be passed with little argument. Kermon explained that it was customary for a representative and a senator to introduce identi cal bills at the same time in order that the senate and house might consider their merit at the same time for quicker action. “I Believe that the measures stand a good chance of approval,” Kermon said, “in view of the fac1 that a combined total of 32 legis lators have given the bills their stamp of approval by acting as co-signers.’’ $50,000 Yearly The bills call for a yearly ap propriation of $50,000 for the op eration and maintenance of the authority which was created dur ing the 1945 session. At that time the nation was in volved in World War II and "it was not deemed feasible or prac ticable” for the authority to be come active then, Kermon said. He added that it was most de sirable to start the authority to functioning at this time because ol the federal government's appropri ation of funds for channel deepen ing and improvement, in addition to the possible availabilty of. the shipyard for terminal purposes.

Ga.. March 6 — (U.R)— The State Supreme court took up the disputed Georgia governorship today and emphasized it would hand down a flat decision, expect, ed within a week, on the validity of Herman Talmadge's election without regard for “collateral sideshows.” Talmadge’s hopes of retaining the seat he seized through an on the-spot election by the legislature seven weeks ago, and Lt. Gov. M E. Thompson’s chances of displac ing him, hinged on interpretation of a clause in the state constitu tion. It was this almost forgotten clause that prompted the legisla ture to elect Herman governor on the basis of 675 write-in votes in the general election after his fa ther, Sugene Talmadge, died be fore he could be inaugurated gov ernor. The court took the case under advisement at 4:52 P.M.. Judge Jenkins giving the Talmadge forces five days to file an answer to a brief on a technical point sub-: mitted by the other side.

This member, who withheld the use of his name; told a reporter that the action was taken in a closed two-hour session this after noon. He added that chairman Tobey (R-NH) directed a five-man sub committee—which previously vot ed 3 to 2 for the increase—to re draft legislation along lines recom mended in a new bill by Senator Sparkman (D-Ala). This bill proposes continued rent control under OPA with' any de control or increases to be handled on a local or individual basis. Tobey parried direct questions himself. “We have not turned them down but w-e have not accepted them,” he said of the subcommittee rec ommendations for the flat increase and shift of rent control adminis tration from OPA to the courts. High Tribunal Holds Club Over Unionists Majority Opinion Finds Mine Leader, Miners Guilty Of Contempt For Failure To H«?ed An Anti-Strike Injunction Order WASHINGTON, March 6 — (AP)-An historic 7-2 Supreme court decision today adjudged John L. Lewis and the Lmted Mine workers guilty of contempt and branded their actions a “serious thi'eat” to constitutional govern ment and the nation’s welfare. Lewis Case Opinions WASHINGTON, March 6 —(fP)— Congress members hailed the Supreme court decision in the John L. Lewis case today but pressed aheaj regardless to write new' laws governing labor unions. “The decision will tend to clari fy the legal situation and assist us in drafting labor legislation,” commented Senator Taft (R-Ohio), chairman of the Senate Labor committee. He said a labor bill may be ready for the Senate with in two weeks. "It doesn't step in the way of our intention to consider legis lation dealing with strikes that af fect the health, safety and econ omy of all the people,” said Rep. Hartley (R-NJ). chairman of the House Labor committee. Hartley added “it remains to be seen whether the decision obviates tjie necessity” for a new law stat ing that the government can end such strikes by court injunction. Hartley also raised a question as to how the decision might be used in the case of unions which conceal or lack funds, unless Con gress passes a law taking away “some of the privileges unions now enjoy under the National La bor Relations act.” Lewis Silent , I John L.

These accounts said that clash es were most serious in Rawal pindi, Jehlum and Sialkot and other reports said that more than 100 had been killed in the West ern Punjab city of Multan alone. Travellers from Lahore said Hindus and Sikhs are battling Moslems for the third straight day, that many buildings have been set afire, that troops are standing by in full war kit and that martial law is imminent it the violence continues. 150 Killed An official report said that loo had been killed in the Punjab, but these reports usually are con sidered extremely conservative. Other reports said the dead from rioting and from police and mili tary bullets ran into the “hund reds.” The new fighting began with violent demonstrations after an nouncement of a Moslem league proposal for a new provincial ministry to replace the predom inantly Hindu government which was forced to resign earlier this week, the reports said. Hindus opposed the new pro vincial government. Although Hindus are in the minority in the Punjab, they previously controlled the government until its fall and created great Moslem animosity by banning Moslem youth organ izations and arresting Moslem leaders throughout the province. Disaster Devils Dacita; No Fish, No Water, No Aid MIAMI. Fla.. March 6 — (U.R) — Dacita. pert Latin rhumba band leader, and her girl secretary were picked off a coral reef today by the Coast Guard, 20 hours after they made a forced landing in a rented plane. The fiery, sway-hipped Puerto Rican was stranded on what start ed out as an afternoon fishing trip. She and Miss Alice Cagel. of Poplarville, Miss., spent the night trying to summon aid and keeping the cub seaplane from floating off "It was a d;sacier.’’ she sa'd "We d’dn’t catch a damn f:eh and hadn’t had a taste of water for 24 hours.” t “We lost all our bait and decided to do some trolling.

With repeated rebukes to Lewis, it sustained the anti-strike injunction Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough issued t o head oft last fall s coal strike. It approved the contempt convictions of Lewis and the United Mine Workers for disobeying the injunction. The SI0.000 fine against Lewis was upheld. As for the $3,500,000 fine against the union, the court upheld $700, 000 of it as punishment for con tempt already com mitted in the strike which ended Dec. 8. And it held the other $2,800,000 over the union’s head, to be assessed if it strikes March 31 or any other lime so long as the government operates the mines. To avoid the $2,800,000 fine ; against the union, Lewis must j withdraw “unconditionally” his notice purporting to terminate his contract with the government, and so notify the miners, within five days after the court issues its mandate. This normally would be issued to Judge Goldsborough in 25 days, which would bring it tc the March 31 deadline Lewis set when he ordered the miners back to work Dec. 7. He also must withdraw “any other notice” of the kind, issued now or later. These contract termination noti ces serve in effect as strike calls. Causes Surprise The court’s surprise announce ment. coming on a Thursday in stead oi the usual Monday deci sion day, astounded the capital, and Lewis and his aides withheld all comment for the time being. From the tone of his Dec. 7 mes sage to the miners ending Ihe strike, however, it appeared that he was willing to accept the high court's decision. His reaction may be forthcoming tomorrow when he is scheduled to appear before the Senate Labor committee. There was angry muttering among the miners in the coal fields, however. John P.
