Graham has declared a "hands off" position on the controversial truck lane for Wilmington in a letter to City Manager J. R. Ben lon, the contents of which were released yesterday. Graham’s letter, in answer to a request by Benson for engineering lid in a survey to be conducted for the purpose of routing a main traffic artery for Wilmington, itated that as far as his depart ment was concerned the truck route was a dead issue in view of the recent rejection of the com mission’s plan for a truck route by the city council. He rejected Eenson’s request for lid by saying that ample con lideration had been given the proj cct and that he felt that further ivork ir. the way of a survey by the department was not justified. In noting that the city council had rejected the commission’s proposal Graham’s letter read in part: 1 am sorry that the recommen dation of this Commission, which represented the careful study of several engineers and also sev eral conferences with the engi neers representing the Public Hoads Administration, did not IContinued On Page Two; Col. 1) INDIA DEATH TOLL TOTALS OVER 550 Critical Situation Expected In Punjab, Today By British Authorities LAHORE, India, March 10.—(JP) —Violence flared anew today in Oie Punjab after a terror-filled "eek in which at least 550 persons ''ere killed, and a high pronvincial official said a “critical’' situation "as expected tomorrow, designat ed as “Anti-Pakistan Day” by Sikhs and Hindus.

Moreover, he said, Secre tary of the Navy Forrestal has agreed there is a dis tinction between the “necessi ties and niceties” of living for the men who go down to the sea in ships. The Vermont lawmaker, who criticized the original order, said Forrestal advised him that the “niceties” have been ordered deleted. Aiken, chairman of the Sen ate Executive Expenditures committee, said the tableware requistion included 38,744 sil ver-plated finger bowls with distinguishing marks of seven different ranks. Forrestal explained that none of the silverware was purchased because of the prices in bids, Aiken said, and subsequently directed the Bu reau of sh^ps to change to simpler specifications. D0GSL0SE SCENT OF PYRE SUSPECT Po!ice Push Search For Negro Accused Of Killing Woman LUMBERTON, March 10 - Police pushed a widening search today for a transient Negro farm worker accused of fatally stabbing a white farmer's wife and leaving her blood-stained body on a blaz ing haystack pyre. The body of Mrs. Frank Roberts, her clothing disheveled from a terrific struggle, was dragged fropi the burning hay stack by members of her family who saw the blaze from a nearby church where they had attended Sunday evening worship. She had not been criminally as saulted but officers said her cloth ing indicated she died trying to protect herself from assault. Policeman W. L. Price said a Negro known only as Johnny Jones, about 30. a happy-go-lucky migratory worker, was being sought throughout the flat pine woods and farming territory of Southeastern North Carolina.

No sign of anything cold is in sight, he says. Today will be slightly warmer than yesterday, with the mercury due to hit about 56 degrees. And though the prediction is “partly cloudy’’ for today, he says there is no chance of rain. Long Battle Looked For On Confirmation By Senate Wednesday WASHINGTON, March 1 0. — (JP) The Atomic committee voted 8 to 1 today in favor of David E. Lilienthal as chairman of the Atomic Energy commission and sent its endorsement to the Senate, where a long battle is expected. Senator Hickenlooper (R-Iowa), committee chairman, issued a statement saying he voted for Lilienthal because h e deemed such a vote in the best interests of the United States. He said the committee heard n o evidence to support charges that Lilienthal was a Communist, or was friendly to Communism. Senator Bricker (R - Ohio! cast the lone committee vote against Lilienthal, thus lining up with his fellow Ohio lawmaker, Senator Taft, for a n expected bitter de bate on the Senate floor. Bricker subsequently told a news conference that “radicals, pinkoes o r ultra liberals are working in and about the atomic energy project.” CITES FBI RECORDS Bricker said FBI records, just made available to the committee last Thursday, disclosed that some of the men already ap pointed to important positions by Lilienthal and by Carroll Wilson, general manager — designate, “are subject t o serious question as to their loyalty to our form of government.” Bricker said FBI records also show that a brother of still another official, connected with security measures, is a Com munist. Cleared to the Senate along with Lilienthal for a final con firmation vote were the other four members of the commission — W. W. Waymack, Dr. Robert F. Bacher, L. L. Strauss and Sumner T. Pike — and General Manager Wilson. FUND CAMPAIGN SHOWING GAINS Red Cross Donations Reach $12,559 With Four Days To Go With contributions totaling $12, 559.96, J. H. Carswell and N. A. Avera, co-chairmen of the Red Cross campaign, said yesterday that they were “very gratified” with yesterday’s closing figure. With only four days left in the drive, a slightly better average is needed, they added, in order that the goal of $21,253 be reached by Saturday night. The campaign is running close to schedule, Carswell said, but any let-up now would mean that the goal would not be reached. The co-chairmen again urged that all chairmen make daily re ports to campaign headquarters in room 231, second floor of the Cus tomhouse. Team number two of the advanc ed gifts committee, headed by J. Henry Gerdes, has reached its goal, it was reported.

March 10 — (/P) — Grandma’s cane-bottomed chair ,»n’t what it used to be, but if you own a piece of old English or French furniture, keep sitting in it — its value is going up. That, friefly, is the current cit uation in antiques as tola by ex perts today at the opening of the National Antiques show in Madi son Square Garden. Accumulated there are 50.000 antique pieces, valued at between ■$10,000,000 and $12,000,000. and ranging from a pipe lashioned from the Tomahawk with which Sitting Bull *calf>ed General Custer to entire households of furniture. Philip Colleek, a New York and London dealer, said: "Prices of Victorian antiques and junk are going down. The low grade stuff has been selling at in flated prices and the people who were buying that sort of stuff dur ing the war haven’t the money <o spent on it now "But fine goods in furniture old English and French, for ex ample — will go higher in prices The demand for that type of quality goods is as great as ever." Lewis, Miners Win Mandate Force Delay ^— * urt Refuses To ADVISEMENT _ Government Lawyers Peti tion Immediate Crack down On UMW WASHINGTON, March 10 —(U.R) —John L. Lewis and his United Mine workers (AFL) won a temporary delay today in the ex ecution of a Supreme court man date ordering them t o withdraw their April 1 coal strike notice and reinstate their contract with the government. Despite government pleas for an immediate crackdown on the UMW chieftain to avert all possi bility of another strike, the High court refused to be rushed into setting a deadline for Lewis and the union to comply with the de cision handed down against them last Thursday. That verdict held both de fendants in contempt of court for their refusal to obey an anti strike injunction issued by a lower federal court last fall. It upheld Lewis’ $10,000 fine and re duced the union’s fine from $3, 500,000 to $700,000 on condition that the original strike notice, now set for April 1, be withdrawn unconditionally, within five days after issuance of the court man date. Customarily, however, a Su preme court mandate i s not issued until 25 days after the de cision is announced, in order to give the losers time to petition for a rehearing. Assistant Attorney General John F. Sonnett asked the court today to waive the 25-day waiting period on the grounds that the public interest requires quick action. Under the terms of the strike truce ordered by Lewis last Dec. 7, he said, the danger exists that the miners will quit again on April 1 unless they are expressly forbidden to do so. The justices announced, how ever, that the petition would be taken under advisement. If they reject the petition, the mandate w'ould be withheld until March 31 and would not become binding upon Lewis and the UMW until four d a ys after the strike deadline. UMW Counsel Welly K. Hop kins scoffed at Sonnett’s con tention that the public interest is menaced by the coal situation. “AMBER7, CLEA D BY COURT RUI G Superior Judge Donahue Restores Winsor Novel To Store Sale BOSTON, March 10 —(i'P)— Superior Court Judge Francis J. Donahue restored to sale in Mas sachusetts today Kathleen Win sor’s novel “Forever Amber” with a finding that it is “not obscene, indecent or impure.” The book itself was brought to trial—not the bookseller or pub - lisher—in a three - day session which was the first test of a new Massachusetts censorship law, unique in the nation. Court action was started by Massachusetts Attorney General Clarence A. Barnes on a petition alleging that the novel of a gay beauty of England’s restoration court was “obscene.” During the trial Judge Donahue said that he fell asleep after 10 minutes of reading “Amber. ' The new censorship code which became law in Massachusetts in 1945 replaced earlier statutes un der which the bookseller and pub lisher could be held liable for court action over a questionable book. Under the new law a civil ruling on a book is required prior to any criminal prosecution of possible future sales.

Burgin Of Henderson Offers Measure For Two Year Medical School RALEIGH, March 10—(£>)—Rep. L. L. Burgin of Henderson tonight introduced a bill in the legislature calling for the establishing of a two-year medical school for Ne groes in connection with North Carolina college at Durham. Burgin said the funds for the school should come from the unex pended balance of the general fund, or if there is no unexpended bal ance, the sum of $800,000 should be taken from the general fund re serve fund. The bill sets forth that the loca tion of the school would be deter mined by the college board of trustees who also would determine the size of the building, amount and type of equipment. Burgin said a recent U. S. Su preme court ruling in the Gaines case from Missouri held that edu cation opportunities provided for the white race also must be pro vided for the non-white race. The introduction of the bill came during the week that the legisla ture's joint appropriations commit tee is scheduled to consider the establishing of four-year medical school at the University of North Carolina art Chapel Hill. Burgin requested House Speaker Tom Pearsall to place the bill with the Appropriations commit tee. Pearsall demurred, and said he was of the opinion that the bill should go to higher education and then later to appropriations. Rep. William T. Hatch of Wake introduced a bill which would amend the general statutes with reference to controversies over State Highway commission con tracts. Hatch’s proposal provides for the appointment of one “competent person’’ each by the commission and the claimant and for the selec tion by those persons of a third person for a three-member board of review.

VENIRE CHOSEN IN MURDER CASE Ganey Trial Is Expected To Open Wednesday In Court Here A special venire of 250 New Hanover county men was drawn yesterday afternoon in Superior court here at the direction of Judge Clawson L. Williams, of Sanford, presiding, for the trial of a Seagate filling station operator on a murder charge. The case of Guy Ganey, 43, charged with the slaying of Franklin Julius Henderson, 24 year-old Jacksonville drive-in attendant at Ganey’s filling sta - tion last Oct. 29, is expected to be opened Wednesday morning with the selection of a jury. However, the selection of 12 men from the list of 250 may take more than a day, court attendants believe. Ganey’s case, which heads a list of four other murder cases, probably will take the spotlight in this week’s court news. He has been in jail without privilege of bond since he allegedly walked up to Henderson’s parked car and pumped two bullets into the ma chine, one of which took effect in the young man’s body. According to testimony brought out at the coroner’s hearing here on the night of Oct. 31, Ganey allegedly shot Henderson over his daughter, Rebecca. Jasper Westbrook, also of Jack sonville, who rode to Wilmington with Henderson on the night of the Eatal shooting, told the coroner’s jury that he was seated in the car with Henderson when Ganey walked up to the automobile and stuck a .25-calibre pistol in the car an<j fired the weapon twice.

The Coast Guard said that a physician aboard its PBM, which made the flight from Elizabeth City, N. C., believed from radioed messages that the unidentified sailor was suffering from menin gitis and ruled his condition was :oo serious for removal. The vessel, the SS Mercomer ford, owned by the American dawaiian Steamship company, will ie placed under quarantine if the iiagnosis is confirmed. The Mer :omerford is due to dock at Charleston, S. C., at 11 p. m. to morrow. The Coast Guard plane left Elizabeth City when the Mercomer iord messaged that it had a sick man aboard. The Public Health ;ervice at Miami, Fla., radioed medical advice to the ship while he plane was enroute. President W i I i Address Joint Session; Holds ‘Key” Conference WASHINGTON, March 10 —(/Pi President Truman will tell a joint session of Congress Wednesday exactly what he proposes the United States should do in the Middle East , where Communism . seeks to expand. He will outline “the whole situa tion,” including plans for aid to Greece and Turkey. Arrangements for the historic address were made today as Mr. Truman gave key Republicans and Democrats of Congress, in secret, a final briefing in advance , to enlist their support. His message to the joint session (Senate and House together) at 1 p.m. (EST) Wednesday will be the first public announcement of administration policy in the Med iterranean and Balkans since the British gave notice they must re trench. For Greece, the President is ex pected to recommend a $250,000, 000 loan to bolster the government and surplus American arms and military supplies now in Germany to help Greek troops fight Com munist-trained guerillas . Greece has asked for U. S. help. For Turkey, which has not sim ilarly requested aid, Mr. Truman had under consideration a propos ed $150,000,000 loan, said one leg islator who attended the White |House conference. The proceeds could possibly be used in part, this individual said, to buy surplus American military goods now in Europe. Some House members predicted the President will ask for author ity to provide financial and mili tary support also for Italy. One, who was riot at the con ference , said h e understood au thority would be sought to send American officers to train Greek, Turkish and Italian troops. Congress, by its action on the recommendations, can tell the ad ministration whether to go ahead all-out, partially, or not at all. The debate, in its impact on the future, may rank in importance With t h a t on the Neutrality act and Lend-Lease before American entry into World War II. It started actually last week, on the basis of what had become known on the administration policy, and contin ued today. Mr. Truman was said to have emphasized to t h e Congressional leaders that he and his adminis tration see the prospective Ameri can move in Greece as serving world peace and the United States primarily, and Britain only sec ondarily. NO BREAD PRICE HIKE DUE HERE Wilmington Bakers Say No Increase Expected De spite Move Elsewhere The price of bread was raised in several major American cities yesterday, but Wilmington bakers said that no immediate increase is contemplated here despite the fact that the price of wheat from which bread flour is made has gone up. The present bread prices m Wilmington are 11 cents a loaf wholesale and 13 cents a loaf re tail. The United Press reported last night that most increases in bread prices, in those cities where price changes were effected, were con fined to one or two cents a loaf. Meanwhile, the wholesale price of butter was reported falling off at Chicago and New York from three to slightly more than four cents a pound. Such changes on the wholesale market usually are followed quick ly by retail price changes. The United Press dispatch re lating to bread price increases reported that early wheat prices at Chicago were three to five and one fourth cents higher, with March wheat futures hitting $2.67 a bushel, the highest of any wheat contract since 1920. Futures for other months were at prices not touched since 1917, it was reported. Miami Herald Publishes Firs t Newspaper By Radio MIAMI, Fla., March 10.—LTV— The Miami Herald went to press by radio today with a fascimile newspaper. The first public demonstration of the 8 by 11 1-2-inch newspaper of the future was made by fre quency modulation (FM) broad cast from the Herald’s editorial room to Miami Edison High school. In the school’s assembly room some 1,200 students gathered to watch the silent, visual broadcast As they looked, the newspaper un rolled page by page before their eyes. Lester Barnhill, promotion man ager of the Herald, and Edgar Felix of Radio Inventions, Inc., explained facsimile to the gather ing. “Radio has been yelling and singing in your home since 1922. It is time it learned to read and write. This is the South’s first public demonstration that radio has learned to read and write.” Fascimile does its job by scan ning a newspage or photograph and broadcasting radio impulses into black and white again. The Herald plans continuous publication of a facsimile edition later in the year. Soviets Pull Surprise At Moscow Meet U. S. Secretary Of State Counters With Diplo matic Word Thrust DELAYS REQUESTED Initial Session Of Import ant Conference Proves Harmonious MOSCOW, March 10.—(IP)—Sov iet Foreign Minister V. M. Molo tov in a surprise move tonight injected the enormously compli cated China question into the opening session of the Four Power Foreign Ministers confer ence on Austria and Germany. U. S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall blocked an immediate vote on Molotov’s proposal to place China on the agenda. Mar shall then countered with a dip lomatic surprise of his own, sug gesting that the conference dis cuss limitation of allied troops jn occupied countries of Europe. The Russian diplomat, who pre sided over the opening session of the momentous meeting, said China should be discussed in the light of the Moscow conference of 1945, at which the United States, Britain and Russia agreed to a policy of non-intervention in Chi nese affairs. Marshall replied he had no fundamental abjection to such a discussion, but wanted to think it over at least until tomorrow. Seeks Time Also Molotov said that he, too, would like time to think over Marshall’# proposal about limitation of al lied occupation troops, before agreeing to place it on the agenda. Should both subject* be scheduled for discussion. the scope of the already complex program would be widened enor mously.

March 10. —(/P)_ A booming grain market today fea tured price increases over a wide group of commodities, including such diverse items as bread, cotton and steel scrap. Along with these advances, how ever, were declines in such items as butter, meat animals and for eign silver.

Canada raised its ex port wheat price 10 cents a bushel to $2.90. Oil Prices Up Standard Oil company (Indiana) raised crude oil prices 25 cents a barrel in all areas where it pur chases. Phillips Petroleum com pany and Deep Rock Oil corpora tion met the advance. Other oil companies were expected to fall in line. And So To Bed Confinement in the peniten tiary Is a gruesome experience to most people. But to one who appeared in New Hanover county Superior Court yesterday as a state witness against another man, it is as nothing. Or that’s the way he seemed to express him self. He was asked by the defense attorney how many times he had been in the Atlanta peni tentiary. “I haven’t been in a pcni penitentiary,” said he. “What penitentiary have you been in?” the attorney persisted. “I haven’t been i na peni tentiary,” the witness retorted. “I was sent to Petersburg.” “What for?” the attorney continued. “For defrauding the mails!” he said. “How many times have yon been indicted,” the attorney continued. “I don’t keep up with that/* he declared in finality* ^
