A steady snow fell most oi the afternoon in Charlotte, but wit ■ temperatures just above the freez ing mark the king-sized flakes melted as rapidly as they fell. The Charlotte weather bureau reported that Greensboro ex perienced a mixture of rain and snow, with rain following early morning snow in Asheville. The snow extended to iyiartan burg, S. C. However, in all cases, above freezing temperatures helped dis perse the flakes on contact with the ground. Continued snow or rain was pre dieted for the Charlotte area dur ing the night, with cloudy and cool weather today followed by warm er in the afternoon. lewkyTelds to TRIBUNAL ORDERS (Continued From Page One) States for the District of Columbia as affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States on March 6lfc, 1947.” No Meeting Planned Interior Department officials indicated that Krug planned nc immediate steps to bring mine leaders and operators together for negotiations, looking toward a re turn of the government-seized mines to private ownership. Krug took over the strike-bound pits last May 22 to end a paralyzing 59-day walkout by the miners and the Krug-Lewis agreement went into effect as a work contract. Krug’s aides declared the initia tive could be taken by the opera tors or Lewis for a get-together, without governmental prodding. Lewis’ action today, reversing his usual tactics of waiting till the last minute, came a week be fore he was required by Supreme court order to call off his notice ending the agreement under which the mines have been operating. By yielding, he saved his union $2,800,000 of the $3,500,000 fine levied by District Court Judge T. Alan Goldsborough last Dec. 5 ■when Lewis and the union were convicted of contempt of court for refusing to obey Goldsborough’s anti-strike injunction. The Su preme court upheld the contempt convictions along with a $10,000 personal fine against Lewis, but ruled that the union fine be reduc ed to $700,000 providing Lewis wilfidrew his contract-scrapping notice.

HIGH PRAISE-* As to the valut of the institution to the Port City, just cast your eyes at these choice morsels of print which appeared in a Wilmington newspaper of yes teryears: “It is a valuable institution to our community, and we regret to see so much apathy manifested as regards its welfare.__ “The expense attending its maintenance and the occasions' purchase of new books is tiifling as compared with the value ol the institution to the people. ‘tit ought to have a most liber a], cheerful and hearty support, and be a source of pride as well as a blessing to the public. “The officers of the Association are: President, Dr. Thomas F.

Commanding Officer US Coast Guard Cutter Mendota C—O Fleet Post Office New York, New York Seaman First Class Wood brought Mike back to Boston by Eastern Airlines plane, having been assigned this duty by the commanding officer. Seaman Wood reports that there was some delay in “crating” Mike and that the airline held up take-off of the plane for a half hour. Also, upon arrival at the La Guardia airport in New York, it was discovered by the airline offi cials that Mike's crate exceeded I the dimensions prescribed by air line regulations. Further delay ensued while a special conference of airline offi cials was held to decide that an, exception would be permitted in this case. Mike was first "out of the box” on arrival at the Boston airport and seemed greatly relieved to be free in the land of fire plugs again. During the all day training cruise on Tuesday, March 11, Mike seemed to be his old self and quickly returned to his old shipboard habits of sitting on the bow and scampering around or, the fantail, barking at the sea gulls. The MENDOTA remains in Bos ton awaiting the beginning of the International Ice Patrol. DRIVING MEASURE SETS SPEED MARK (Continued From Page One) dums would be held to determine whether a tax of not more than one-half of one per cent the value of the crop would be imposed to finance advertising and other pro motion of various farm products. Specifically covered would be pea nuts, potatoes, all fruits, berries, vegetables and other farm pro ducts, except tobacco and cotton. Exports of tobacco would be pushed by Tobacco Associates, inc., recently organized agency created for that purpose. Separate legislation covers that commodity. Cotton probably will be cared for in another bill. The referendums 'would be con ducted by agencies concerned with a particular farm- commodity. Potato growers, for instance, would have their own referendum. The promotional agencies, those in existence or to be created with State Agriculture department ap - proval, would work closely with dealers, handlers and distributors. A bill to provide a five-day, 40 hour work week for state em ployes was introduced by Reps. Bell of Hyde and Hardison of Craven. Effective July 1, it would not interfere with instruction or training in public schools or other state institutions. State offices would be kept open on Saturday under schedules to be worked out by department heads. No extra pay would be paid for necessary work over 40 hours a week. Over slight opposition, the Se nate passed a House resolution pledging state cooperation in the Buggs Island hydroelectric project on the Roanoke river. The State Department of Conservation and development would aid in develop ing recreational facilities. Senator Fountain of Edgecombe introduced a b i 11 authorizing the merger of non-profit hospital and medical care associations SHIPYARD SALE BLOCKED AGAIN (Continued From Page One) who is expected to send an answer within a few days. Both state ments will then be placed before President Truman’s Assistant, John Steelman, who has been in vestigating the case at the re quest of the North Carolina con gressional delegation and Gover nor R. Gregg Cherry. Clark and Senators Hoey and Umstead, who have conferred with Steelman several times, probably will have another parley with him next week in hopes that he will arffcuate in favor of the state.

TRANSFER (Continued From Page One) board of education said that pres ent educational facilities were de signed for a maximum of 1,700 students, while the present enroll ment is 2,800. This necessitates two shifts, it was added. Well Supported The WAA said that the “pro - ject has received the enthusiastic support not only of nearby manu facturing concerns, which will uti lize the skilled labor trained by the institution, but by the general public as well, despite an in crease in taxes.’’ The WAA said that the transfer will be made without cost to the school board except for adminis - trative charges for closing the transaction. Roland said the board of educa tion plans to use the property, which ost the government about §600,000, for the proposed junior college and industrial school for veterans, a high school manual training center and an agricultural department for both the high school and junior college. However, the junior college angle must be settled at the polls when the voters cast their ballots next Tuesday. The election results will determine whether there is to be a junior college or not. Meanwhile, ballots will be dis tributed Saturday to precinct reg istrars for the junior college and tuberculosis hospita] special elec tion, T. K. Woody, clerk of the county commissioners said yester day. Five-Cent Levies He said that 9,000 ballots were in the process of being printed.

LOS ANGELES HAS NEW ASSAULT CASE (Continued From Page One) had been 17 homicidal slayings in the county in the first 17 days of March. ✓ The slayer of Miss Short is still unknown, as are the killers of Eve lyn Winters, a Vassal- graduate, and Jeanne French, former air lines hostess, movie bit player and airplane pilot. The Grand Jury yes terday indicted Myton Lee Funk, 23, a foundry moulder, on a charge of murdering Mrs. , Mae Lorene Lund, 46, also known as Mae Prest on. Sheriff’s officers searched for a shallow grave in the moors near Seal Beach where Herbert Walk er, former Deputy District At torney, said he found, while hunt ing, the corner of a blanket pro truding from the ground. A murder charge was filed to day against Ruth McKenzie, 29 year-old divorcee, for the fatal stabbing of Jack C. Floyd, 30-year old chemist. Police said she told them Floyd, whom she identified as her fiance, was on his knees pro fessing his love for her when she playfully motioned toward him with a butcher knife. The blade cut a neck artery. Her preliminary hearing was set for March 31. Checking Story Capt. Jack Donahue of the Los Angeles police homicidal detail said he was studying the state ment in St. Louis. Mo., of Melvin Robert Bailey that he was the Black Dahlia murderer. “There are discrepancies in the story told by Bailey, but we intend to check every angle with the known facts before we discard him, if we do discard him,” said Dona hoe. There have been many “confes sions,” written and verbal, to the killing of Miss Short since her dis membered body was found on a vacant lot, January 15, but psy chiatrists said all those professing to be the killers were psychopathic cases.
