Vandenberg said the United Nations must always be “our first reliance” and must be used to the maximum of practical pos sibility. “In no available aspect should we by-pass its functions,” he said. But in no available aspect should we ruin its potential by assigning to it functions which it does not possess. Such an assignment would destroy it. for keeps.

CABINET TO SCAN PRICE SITUATION Worried Over Inflation Spiral, President Calls Special Meeting WASHINGTON, April 8— (/P) _ President Truman today caller a special cabinet session for tomor row to consider—in the words of one top official—“Whether official steps should be taken” to combat high prices. The nature of such steps was uncertain, said Edwin G. Nourse, chariman of the President’s Coun cil of Economic advisers. Nourse. conferred with Mr. Truman today and told reporters the inflationary threat is “serious.” Later Nourse divulge^ ho had presented a memorandum on price trends to Mr. Truman. To morrow, he said, he expects to “scan the possible things that can be done,” in consultation with the cabinet. He indicated this might boil down to an intensified campaign by cabinet officers to press' for voluntary price reductions and modernation in union wage de mands. To re-control prices, he conceded, would be difficult since the OPA machinery is almost dis mantled. To Canvas Situation ‘The President wants to canvas the situation with the cabinet,” he said. “The question in mind is whether official steps should be taken.” Almost as if cued to the White House developments, wheat prices tumbled for a time by as much as seven cents a bushel at the Chicago grain market, while on the New Yoik Stock exchange leading stocks dropped $1 to $4 a share before the liquidation halt ed. Nourse told a reporter that the labor outlook is a factor in his concern. Three weeks ago, he said, the price situation appeared fairly stable except in foods. Since then (I) the wholesale commodity price index has risen to a new high since 1920; (2) a telephone strike has Occurred, and; (3) ma jor wage settlements are hanging fire in steel, automobiles and other industries. IMPROVEMENT OF CHANNELS URGED Beach Association To Seek Aid Of representative Clark For Project Plans designed to improve Mas onboro Inlet, Motte Channel and Banks Channel by appealing to Congress through Representative J. Bayard Clark were laid at a meeting of the Southeastern North Carolina Beach Association here last night. The long range project, expect ed to take two to three years, will be handled through the of fices of the District Engineers, with Congress being called upon to pass a resolution authorizing the Engineers to review a decis ion made in 1941 stating that it was not to the public interest to expend the funds necessary to the improvements called for. Louis Orrell, SENCBA president, Hugh Morton and Ken Noble were appointed to a committee to co ordinate the efforts of local in terests relative to the improve ment progra . Morton told the association last night that to date 180 business es tablishments and individuals had joined SENCBA as associate mem bers and said that the current campaign lor associates looked favorable. The directors of the organiza tion voted to hold the next meet ing next Tuesday night at which time a full-time secretary will be appointed to handle the details of the organization’s work. It was urged that applicants contact Louis Orrell in reference to the position.

PRINCE" FREDERICK TO RULE DENMARK King Christian Appoints Eldest Son To Regency Following Attack COPENHAGEN, Denmark, April 8. _ (U.R) — King Christian of Denmark, 76, suffered a “slight” heart attack Sunday and today he appointed his first son, Ciown Prince Frederik, to act as regent of the country, a communique from Amalienborg castle said. The king signed a royal decree naming Crown Prince Frederik regent of Denmark after his phy sicians ordered the monarch t o take a “short period of complete rest” as a result of extreme fa tigue. The step means Frederik will assume the royal duties -during his father’s convalescence and does not mean that Christian has abdicated. The Crown Prince frequently took his father’s place whenever the King went on pre-war vaca tions. He last was named regent in 1942 when Christian was re covering from pneumonia, an af ter-effect of his fall from a horse during the German occupation. Russia Will Accept Inspection Of Atom LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., April 8. —(JPy-Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet deputy foreign minister, agreed to night to a« important feature of atomic energy control. An authoritative source said that Gromyko had told a closed meeting of the working commit tee of the United Nations Atomic Energy commission that Russia would accept strict inspection and control of the atom from the mine ore stage to its ultimate prepara tion ai nucleur fuel. . This was the first time that Gromyko had definitely placed his government on record for that part of the commission’s report ap proved last December by 10 other members of the 12-nation group. The development came as the working committee began a de tailed study of Russia’s plan for controlling the atom. The committee decided to con tinue work next Monday (3 p. m. EST). 107,738 MINERS RETURN TO PITS Gov ern ment Spokes men Say Production Now 40 Per Cent Of Normal WASHINGTON, April 8—VP)—The government reported tonight that soft coal production has climbed back to 40 per cent of normal, while a spokesman for coal opera tors accused John L. Lewis of perpetrating a “hoaoc” in an effort to prolong the “safety" stoppage. The Coal Mines administration announced that 1,368 mines employ ing 107,738 miners operated today. There are about 2,500 mines in all. Estimated production today was 900,000 tons, afoout 40 per cent of normal. The operating mines included 700 United Mine Workers mines employing 66,000 U. M. W. men. 1,200 Mines Open Yesterday’s total was 1,200 mines, employing 100,000 men and production was estimated at 723, 000 tons. That total included more than 500 U. M. W. mines employ ing 5?:,000 men. By order of Lewis, the industry was shut down for a six-day “mourning” period last week after 111 men lost their lives in the Centralis, 111., mine blast. Miners in many diggings continued the shutdown this week. Today Lewis told his men to re sume work in any mine the federal government certifies safe. TRASK WILL QUIT HOME COMMITTEE Commissioner Determined To Resign Chairmanship, He Tells Hewlett _ County Commissioner George W. Trask, yesterday told Chair man Addison Hewlett that he would refuse to serve as head of the New Hanover county home committee. At Monday’s stormy session of the commissioners when Superin tendent C. M. Carter was exoner ated of charges, brought by Com missioner Trask of unkind treat ment to the inmates, Trask im mediately tendered his resigna tion as chairman of the county home commute. At that time, the board prevail ed upon him to hold in obeyance his decision for 30 days. “I’ve slept over the matter.” Commissioner Trask told Chair man Hewlett “and I’m quitting.” He went on to say that it was his firm belief that had any other member of the board preferred similar charges against a county employe that person would have been supported by the board. Commissioner Trask has con tended that the Carters have used offensive and abusive language to ward him when he protested theii treatment of an inmate a week ago last Sunday. It was that incident that lead to the full fledged investigation of conditions at the county home by the county commissioners. Other members of the county home committee in addition to Commissioner Trask are Hewlett and L. J. Coleman. Following Monday’s meeting of the commissioners which saw S. J. Long, superintendent of the county home farm, tender his res ignation to the commission after he had testified against Superin tendent Carter.

WILMINGTON GETS AIRMAIL LINK TO VEST, NORTHWEST; MOLOTOV BREAKS DEADLOCK _ i__ Reparations “Off” Agenda Big-Four Foreign Minis ters Will Now Turn To German Boundary MOSCOW, April 8— (JP) —After weeks of fruitless arguments, the Foreign Ministers agreed tonight to shelve the stalemated questions of reparations and the makeup of the German government, and to proceed to the discussions of Ger mar boundaries. The deadlock finally was broken by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov, who previously had blocked all moves by the United States and Britain to take up the next item on the agenda. United States sources had said before today’s meeting that if Molotov persisted in what the Americans called “obstructionist tactics,” the four - power council might end very soon. The ministers also agreed to speed up delivery of war plant reparations from Germany, but no progress wa£ made on main rep arations questions. Molotov, on the insistence of the other three ministers, withdrew his proposal to set up a nation-wide police sys tem under direction of the pro posed German government. Despite the minor agreements, the ministers engaged again in a number of acrimonious discus sions, and it was apparent that after four and a haif weeks of arguments tempers were wearing short. Molotov’s conciliatory move paving the way for discussion of boundaries came in the face of heavy pressure by U. S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall and Bevin. Marshall told Molotov that enough time had been spent in “interminable discussions of dis agreement,” and that the council should pass over the stalemated matters for the time being, and return to them at the end of the conference, “if time permits.” Marshall said he did not un (Continued On Page Two, Col.

Wright, Bishop of the East Carolina Diocese of the Episcopal church and princi pal speaker of the evening spoke on “The Message of the Bible as the Answer to the World’s Need.” Bishop Wright stressed the thought that hope of the world is through the teaching of brotherhood. “We can’t have brotherhood unless we have faith of the Bible in the hearts of men,” he said. He was intro duced by J. B. Huntington, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The Rev. J. O. Walton, former pastor of the Southside Baptist church, acted as toastmaster.

Conciliators Fail To Settle Strike FORD WILL REST BESIDE PARENTS Public Funeral For Famed Industrialist To Be Held On Thursday DETROIT, April 8 — {JF, —A na fion today mourned the passing of Henry Ford, a symbol to all the world of American industrial genius. Hailed by his cohorts as the father of mass production, he died quietly of a cerebral hemorrhage late Monday at the age of 84. By chance, a flood had convert ed his modern home at the time of his death into a fireplace heat ed, kerosene lamp-lit building, strangely reminiscent of the quiet world of his birth. The body of the angular indus trialist will lie in state through out Wednesday in Greenfield Vil lage, not far from the little red brick building memorialized as the home of his first crude horse less carriage. A public funeral service will be held at 2:30 p.m. (EST) Thursday at St. Paul’s Episcopal cathedral on Detroit’s Woodward avenue, the street which echoed the start ling sound of his first automobile a half century ago. He will he buried beside his mother and father at a private ceremony ' in tlis little Addison Ford cemetery near Greenfield village. There will be no pallbear ers. As news of his death flashed around the world, speculation arose as to its effect on the $800, 000,000 - industry he founded with a $28,000 investment in 1903. "Little Effect” Industry circles concede that his passing will have little effect oh the' Ford Motor Co. since it has been firmly managed by 29 year-old Henry Ford' II who took the reins from his aging grand father in 1945. It was assumed that the elder Ford’s personal fortune of up wards of $200,000,000 will go to his widow, Clara Bryant Ford, .who was with him when he died. They were to have celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary and her 80th birthday Friday.

Government officials reported “good progress’’ on the long-dis tance phase of the negotiations. Company and union officials were not so optimistic. One of the union leaders said the results were “nil”. John W. Gibson, assistant secre tary of labor, said: “We made good progress in a/bout seven hours of diligept negotiations.” Edgar L. Warren, head of the Labor department’s conciliation service, said: “We made some good progress on a number of is sues.” G. S. Dring, assistant vice presi dent of the A. T. & T. long lines division, told reporters that rep resentatives would work all night if necessa/ry. Then he added: “That doesn’t mean necessarily that we are going to finish tonight.” Earlier in the day, Peter Manno of the conciliation service held out hopes that the long distance part of the dispute might be settled today. Results “Nil” This prompted J. A. Beirne, president of the National Federa tion of Telephone workers, to comment: “While that is refresh ing, so far the results a<re nil”. Beirne added that no one but the government conciliators appears optimistic. John J. Moran, president of the American Union of Telephone workers, an NFTWU affiliate, said any prompt settlement even of the part of the dispute affecting long distance calls is “up to the com pany.” These calls have been the hardest hit in this second day of the first cross-country strike of telephone workers in the 100 years since the telephone was invented. The Manno-Moran statements were made to reporters as Moran’s union resumed negotiations with the American Telephone and Tele graph company’s long distance di vision. Moran commented that anything that happened in the negotiation on the long lines angle “would have to go back to the policy com mittee of the National Federation of Telephone workers for approv al.” _ New Airline To Call Here Piedmont Aviation Granted Certificate By CAB For Long Feeder Route Wilmington seemed assured to day of .air mail service to the west with the long-delayed deci sion yesterday by the Civil Aero nautics Board awarding to Pied mont Airlines, Inc. of Winston Salem, a three year certificate to operate a feeder line connecting the city with western points. Thomas H. Davis of Winston Salem, president of the airline company winning the decision, said last night that operations over the proposed route would be gin within five to six months. He said that present plans call for making Wilmington a main ter minal in the system. The Piedmont Lines, he said, carry passengers, freight, air ex press and mail over a route of approximately 2,000 miles, with the service reaching 30 cities in five southeastern states. Davis said the firm will put 12 planes into operation on its new routes — each plane a DC-3, cap able of carrying 21 passengers. He said three or four more such planes probably would be kept in reserve. The DC-3 is the same type plane now used by Eastern Air Line and other thunk lines. The company president said ap proximately 200 to 250 employe? would be added to the payroll. The firm now employes 65 per sons. Three other airlines were involv ed in the long-drawn out fight. These were Southeast Airlines of Charlotte; State Airlines of Char lotte; and Seaboard Airlines of Lumlberton. State Airlines had been recom mended by the CAB examiner for the long feeder route to Louis ville, Ky. but the air board evi dently preferred its rival which had strongly protested the propos ed award in oral arguments last summer. W. league, preaiaamj Southeast, said last night that 3 company will continue operatil into Wilmington despite the C| decision. J “The decision by the CAB,’’J declared, “will not serve the tiA of the Wilmington area. We AI by experience from 21 operations.’’ Harry K.

He may well be. More than 600 guys are licensed Con gressmen-hunters on the Capitol Hill preserve. This makes about one-plus hunt er for each member of Congress. No red-capped, corduroy-jack eted hunters, these. Lucky is the Congressman who can tell his talk er from the everyday, garden (or tourist) variety of capitol visitor. But any minute, in a murky corridor, he may find himself smack between the Peanut and Nut Salters association and the de scendants of the signers of the Dec laration of Independence. In the local lingo, Washington calls these boys “lobbyists.” Just name your cause. Its man (or lady equivalent) is pretty cer tain to be out busily pointing Con gressmen. Even a Senator's haircut may not be sacred. There’s one lobbyist who doesn’t want lawmakers to forget the Master Barbers, the Indepen dent barbers or Local 237 of the Barbers’ union. The guy with the vote may find himself cornered by the Interna jtional Apple association. Probably 'with foreign policy on it* mind.
