COMETS SCHEDULE EXHIBITION TILT Eastern State Loop Team To Meet Elizabethtown Sunday Afternoon By JIGGS POWERS WHITEVILLE, April 3 — In the first exhibition of the Eastern State League during the new sea son, the Whiteville Comets will play host to the Elizabethtown Red Sox on Easter Sunday af ternoon. April 6th, at 2:30 p. m., In the Whiteville High School Park. Manager Earl Brinkley has been putting the Comets through bat ting, fielding, and conditioning drills at a furious pace since they afternoon. He said that Sundays game would be used, more or less, to try each of the players who have been working with the Com ets during the week. So far the Comets have shown that they can use the stick well but the defen sive work of the team has looked weak, especially in the pitching department. Missing from last years mound staff, so far, is Cole Jacobs, lit tle lefty who was picked as the lefthanded hurler on the E. S. L. AU-Stat team last year, and whe pitched the 1-0 win’over WaUace that clinched second place for the Comets; H. D. Stanley, who had several nice wins last sea ion; and David Nielson; who last year alternated between the mound and outfield. Jacobs will definitely not be with the Eastern States this year, having moved over to his hometown Clarendon club of the Columbus County League; Stanley is in school at the University of North CaroUna, but is expected home for the opening league contest AprU 13 with Southport here: and Neilson will be out during the latter part of the week in time for the game with the Red Sox. Roger Harwood, righthander bothered with a sore arm most of last year but who •till managed to finish in second place among ESL fiingers with, a 7-2 average, has been out with the following candidates for the Whiteville team this past week: David Hooks, Manager Brinkley, J. B. Hickman, 5iU Harrelson, John Harrelson, Alfred Long, Morrison Formy Duval, Clyde Williams, Wilbur Council, and Herbert Russ. The most outstand ing prospect among the above has been the hard-hitting Formy Duval, who is a former Camp bell College athlete. The big boy has been whaling the ball for plenty of distance and, if he can get in top shape, wiU make Brinkley one of the hard-hitting outfielders that is reeded to field a first-division club. Probable pitchers for the Comets in the Easter contest are Harwood, Brinkley, and Neilson; while Rudolph Britt and V. D. Gibson are expected to take care of the hill duties for the Red Sox. BLUE DEVILS BLANK OHIO BASEBALL CLUB DURHAM, April 3—(A*)—Push ing across the only runs of the ball game in the first inning, Duke University’s Blue Devils defeated the touring Ohio University nine, 2-0, here this afternoon.

The two teams meet again here tomorrow afternoon.

SOARING FOOD PRICES WORRIES FIRST LADY WASHINGTON, April 3 - (JP) — Mrs. Truman is worried about grocery prices along with millions of other American women, Presi dent Truman reported today. He told his news conference that he knew of no concrete evidence that his request of last week for a reduction of prices generally has been complied with. He expressed hope last week that business would see the hand writing on the wall and that prices would be reduced accordingly. The President was asked if Mrs. Truman had spoken to him about the high cost of groceries. Package Experts Prepare Colorful ‘Wrap’ Appeal For Choosy Customers NEW YORK, April 3—W—Re member when the customer was never right? You asked for a bag and the irritated grocery clerk snapped, “donchaknowtheresawaron?” So, if you don’t have your own shop ping bag, you stuffed the string beans and oranges in your poc kets. Now that the lowly consumer has been rediscovered, the reviv ed packaging industry has big plans for pleasing him and before long, they’ll be wrapping groceries as if they were diamonds and diamonds as if they were uranium. Within five years, say industry spokesmen, all fresh produce will be lovingly packaged and, as a result, virtually all markets will be completely self-service. As it is now, they not only give you a bag, but many vegetables, fruits and meats are trimmed, polished and individually wrapped in colorful, air-resistant packages with coy little window through which to spy on a dressed-up as paragus or carrot. For jewelry, costlier, transpar ent boxes with exotic tints are in the making. Cigarets may come in non-crushable packs of laminait ed foil. Everywhere jars, bottles, cans and boxes will be lighter, brighter and more functional, ac cording to industry representa tives preparing for the American Management association’s 18th an nual packaging exposition in Philadelphia, April 8-11. Already on the market is one package containing a complete meal, all frozen and pre-cooked and replete with tray and paper board dishes. You simply haat the whole business a few minutes, eat and then throw away the dishes. According to Alvin E. Dodd, president of the association, and trade publication editors like Lloyd Stoufleb of "Modern Pack aging,’’ here are som* at tka jlateat developments: Oranges wrapped in a plastic so that the consumer can eat them in tree-ripened condition; self-sealing packages of bread; one-trip beer bottles, involving less glass, less expense and, there fore, no deposit on the bottle; resin-coated paper bags that won't rip when the sauerkraut juice leaks; fresh frozen fruit juices to be delivered every morning with your milk; Flowers wrapped in climate resistant plastic film which can be flown coast to coast ‘‘with the dew still on them”; rfc-seulible_ cans of soluble coffee; fresh corn on the cob in a plastic film, oleomar garine into which housewives can mix the coloring without removing it from the ^package; shorter, faf ter marachino cherry bottles which don’t tip easily; refillable perfume containers with pressurized atomiz ers; A tooth powder package with a spring door — stick the biush in and get just the amount ydu need without spilling the rest over the bathroom; dill pickles and motor oil in plastic bags (separately); triangle-shaped nail polish con tainers — don’t tip easily and ruin your dress and temper; coffee and sugar boxes made up of small boxes — just take out what you need, the rest stays fresh; per fume container with a ballpoint, like on the pen — just roll it on anywhere, except under water. Packaging is directly related to the vending machine business and in this field the possibilities are even more intriguing. Manufac turers plan machines which will: Cook a meal electronically with in a few seconds after the coins are deposited; serve hot coffee— black, with sugar or cream, or with both; sell hot sandwiches, shirts or books (no-browsing); un cap a soda bottle, pour the drink and dispose of the bottle (you do the swallowing yourself); shine shoes; record voices and, fky/Uy, make change. Hopes, Filchock Suspended Indefinitely By Bert Bell COUNCIL/ AITS NEW LAW COPIES (Continued From Page One) four commissioned men on the force, has been considered a like ly candidate for the post since the death of Sgt. Phil J. Parish, March 7. He was nominated for the posi tion at the March 25 session of the council by Councilman Robert S. LeGwin, but the latter’s mo tion did not receive a second after Benson explained that he was not in a position then to make a rec ommendation of a man to the post. So far there has not been any open opposition to Hayes and if he is recommended by Benson it is considered likely that the council will follow the recommen dation. The city council had requested, following the request for retire ment by Casteen, that the civil service law be changed in order that a police chief might be se lected from without the depart ment if the governing body so wished. This move was opposed by the members of the police department on the grounds that a capable man to head the department could be found within the force. Compromise atana Senator Alton A. Lennon and Representative Robert M. Kermon compromised the two stands and introduced the new bill which per mits an outside man to be picked but limited his length of term to 18 months. The move to name Hayes, it was reported last night, came after it became certain that no further change in the compromise bill would be effected and after Len non clearly stated that he }vould not introduce, sponsor or support further legislation relative to the civil service law. The police department has been beset by what some termed "un fortunate oircumstances” since two members of the force were ar rested, and charged with break ing and entering. Casteen re quested retirement shortly there after due to bad health. Parish was named to succeed Casteen and took his own life, and since that time the morale of the de partment has been considered very bad. Should Hayes be named by the city council, the task of restor ing the morale of the force is considered a large one. On the other hand, it has been predicted that as soon as the department is returned to normal with the ap pointment of a chief then matters of various splits in the ranks of the force are expected to mend. 20 BUILDINGS TO BE SOLD AT AIRPORT Two representatives from the Charlotte Regional War Assets Administration office will be in Wilmington this morning to con - duct the sale of over 20 buildings now located at Bluethenthal air - field, S. M. Selden, manager of the local Customer’s Service Cen ter said last night. Gallen J. Bennett and C. M. Plunkett of the real property divi sion are the representatives and they will handle the sale of the surplus property which begins at 10 a.m. at the local Center, 206 N. Second street. Selden said that veterans who are interested i n purchasing the buildings should have gone out to the field to inspect them, but that a trip out would be taken this morning, if necessary.

New York Giant Backfield Players Receive Leagues Decision PHILADELPHIA, April 3. — (/P) — Merle Hapes and Frank F i 1 chock, New York Giants ace back field ’ players who became en tangled in attempts to fix the National Football league’s cham pionship game last Dec. 15, today were suspended indefinitely in the latest chapter of the biggest sport scandal since the 1919 World Series. League commissioner Bert Bell announced that he had found the two “guilty of actions detrimental to the welfare of the National League and of professional foot ball,” adding: “This suspension prevents the employment of Hapes or Filchock by any club in the National Foot ball league as player, coach or in any capacity, whatsoever.” The commissioner’s ruling all but wrote finis to the playing days of Hapes, who once roamed the backfield at the University of Mississippi, and Filchock, pro star since leaving Indiana Univer sity campus. The decision came just 24 hours after three New York men had been sentenced for attempting to bribe the players to throw the game. David K. Krakauer, Har vey Stemmer and Jerome far owitz were given prison sentences while a fourth man, Alvin Paris, will be sentenced Monday. Testimony at the trial of the four showed that neither Hapes nor Filchock accepted the offered bribe. Both were placed on the league’s suspended list originally on Jan. 8, The day Pans was convicted in New York on charges of trying to fix the game between the Giants and Chicago Bears. Hapes, who recently accepted a coaching position at the Bryan consolidated school near Jackson, Miss., said that he felt Commis sioner Bell’s action “was a little bit stiff.” “But I’m through with profes sional football, anyway.” Filchock, who lives in Washing ton, was not immediately avail able for comment. TRUMAN REFUSES TO “FIRE” KRUG (Continued From Page One) the men out on strike after the government returns the mines to private ownership. The government’s authority to operate the mines, which were seized last May, expires on June 30. Lewis said it might be neces sary for the miners to strike to get a satisfactory contract from the private operators. But he said no coal strike in the past ever went far enough to cripple the national economy and that he was confident the miners and operators could reach an agreement before any crisis de veloped. He also spoke out against pend ing Congressional proposals to out law industry - wide bargaining, which, he said, would destroy all collective bargaining in the coal industry. “If you want to eliminate the union, that might be one good way of doing it,” he bellowed, “but you will pay a hell of a price, if you'll pardon the expression.” Krug Silent Krug remained silent on the Lewis charges and went ahead with his plan for tightening up safety provisions in the nation’s mines. He cancelled a scheduled trip to Madison, Wise., where he was to have addressed alumni of the University of Wisconsin Monday night, and took direct charge of the new safety drive. He ordered 518 of the nation’s 2,531 soft coal mines to remain closed after the '‘mourning period” ends at midnight Sunday. Operators of the condemned mines were instructed to keep them closed until they are certi fied safe by union committees or federal inspectors.
