I don’t know what it is, but it sure needs some thing.” Ed Ward, 161 Pinecrest Park way, said that Bluethenthal should "continue to be a city-county air port,” but that "some changes should be made in the method of operation.” Hits Altitude An unidentified traveling sales man from Greensboro said that he knew nothing about the airport situation, but halted the reporter with "but I’ll tell you something else about Wilmington.” He said that it had been his ob servation, and that he had heard numerous Wilmingtor.ians expound the same theory that .this city is self-satisfied, that the people, the governmental officials, and the big business interests in town were not interested in the establishment of new industries here. They rather, be said, “discourage any attempts to bring in new businesses. So maybe it would be a good thing to let some outsider come in and pin the airport, if he’s a progres sive minded person.” Meanwhile, Horace Barnes, Lum berton airport operator, said last Bight that he is “definitely inter ested in leasing Bluethenthal air port,” and that at present he is waiting to hear something from the New Hanover county commis sioners as to their inclinations toward his proposal. Operates Two Fields He met Informally with a group here about two months ago, he •aid, and at that time, they dis •ussed the possibility of his leasing the field and taking over the opera tions and development. At pres ent, Barnes very successfully operates the airport at Lumbetton, and another at Greenville. His plans for Bluethenthal, pro vided the commissioners grant him the lease, have not yet been developed. He said he was “wait ing to hear from them.” WOMAN (Continued From Page One' Sion, the final plans of what was to have been a perfect murder were worked out and discussed by the young Negro Saturday night, a few hours before the shooting took place Sunday morning, shortly af ter six o’clock. Sheriff Britt said Mrs. Miller ad mitted she called Wiggins at 6 o’clock Sunday morning and told him that “Everything is ready.” Wiggins told the sheriff in his confession, that he crept into the home of the Millers, which is lo cated on the farm of Mrs. Miller’s father, Allen Currin, shortly after he had been advised by the young woman that everything was ready. Dan Miller was asleep in his bed, the Negro told officers, and he stood there a minute or two watching his victim. Then he care fully aimed Miller’s own .38 calibre at the sleeping man and fired. The Negro said after he had ahot, the wounded man groaned, turned over and looked up at him. Miller then raised up off the bed and chased him to the door of the house before he collapsed, the Negro told officers in his con fession. Mrs. Miller admitted she furnish ed gloves for the Negro to wear and even gave the Negro her hus band’s gun, with which he was shot. The final plans for the kit ing were made Saturday night, when Mrs. Miler, Wiggins and the Miller’s family cook and one of the young children of the Miller couple went to a movie in Lum berton, according to Sheriff Britt. The sheriff said the crime was planned to appear as though the young husband had killed himself. “When Miller got off the bed and chased the Negro, the plans of the couple were ruined,” Britt said “It probably would have looked like suicide if Dan Miller had died Instantly,” the sheriff stated. The man, with whom Mrs. Mil ler is supposed to be in love with, has not been named by the Robe son sheriff. “Nice Folks” Residents of the community, •bout four miles from Rowland, on the Belt line highway, said they ■were unaware of any love affair between Mrs. Miller and the un named man. "The Miller’s were nice folks,” they said. Mrs. Miller and Wiggins are both being held without bond in the Robeson county jail. Sheriff Biitt said he would not place any definite charges, pending the out come of Dan Miller’s condition. The woman is the daughter of one of the most prominent fami lies in Robeson county. • Dial *-3311 For Newspaper Service Would King Cole Be Merry With Stomach Ulcer Pains?

A $25 fine for trespassing was placed against Carl Lee Joyner when he agreed to plead guilty to the charge after the original in dictment charging assault upon Mrs. Alice Lairtb, a mother of two children, was dropped and after the state had completed its case. Mrs. Lamb, 23, who said she was separated from her husband, related that Joyner came to the rooming house at 601 Wrightsville avenue, where she lived, offered her money and made indecent re marks. J. A. Crocker, another roomer, declared he obtained the number of the taxicab in which Joyner left the place and it was through the number that the man later was arrested by W. C. Jor don, patrol car policeman. Convicted Of Assault Two years on the road was pass ed out to Lee Dixon, Negro found guilty by a jury of assaulting Roy Green, another Negro, last Febru ary 22, with a knife w’ith the intent to kill. Green said he was cut so severely about the throat that 34 stitches were taken in his neck and he w:as kept in the hospital for 11 days. Green testified that Dixon came to his home on North Ninth street, becamed involved in an argument with a girl residing there and when ordered to leave, attacked Green with a knife slashing his throat and puncturing his stomach. Dixon, acting as his own at torney, asserted he attempted to collect J4.50 which Green owed him and refused to pay, that Green struck him, then advanced upon him with a knife which ac cidentally cut the complaining wit ness. The story of the shooting in which shots were fired by both the de fendant and one of the complain ing witnesses was related in the case of Joe Bellamy. Negro, who a jury found guilty on two j counts of assault with a pistol. Bellamy was sent to work on the road for 90 days on one count and was given an 18-months suspend ed sentence on the other. Harris Sneed and his wife, a Negro couple, told the jury that last November 23 Bellamy came to their home at 623 South Eighth street about 1 a. m., and chal lenged Sneed to come outside and talk matters over and that when the latter refused, threatened to shoot through the window. The couple testified that Bellamy fired a pistol shot off on their porch twice. They admitted that the woman, jn retaliation, returned the fire with another pistol from the couple's front window. Bel lamy offered no defense. In a trial commenced Tuesday noon, J. L. Bankhead, Kure Beach cafe operator, was found guilty by a jury on two counts—resist ing arrest and assault with a deadly weapon. He was fined $200 and costs. The case was the outgrowth of an altercation between the de fendant and Lawrence Kure and the intervention and arrest by Constable K. R.

Delaware, New York, New Jersey and Maryland. Dr. J. Hutchison Cockburn, the director of the World Council oi Churches department of recon struction, will visit the U. S. this month. He will speak in several cities. BROUGHTON (Continued From Page One) secured from the general assem bly a grant of $50,00o a year for two years for administrative ex penses and which he said, was the first such grant ever made in the history oi North Carolina for ports purposes. Paying tribute to Jack T. Hiers, executive secretary of the Wil mington Port Traffic association as the best posted man on freight rates in the state and a man who has been of great help to the Ports Authority, the speaker caught the rapt attention of his audience when he said that al though efforts of the Ports Author ity to purchase the North Caro lina Shipbuilding company prop erties from the Maritime commis sion have proved futile was of the opinion that in the not-to-distant future, arrangements will be made to lease from the federal govern ment, a considerable portion ol the yard and which will enable the State’s Ports Authority to at tract needed industries to locate on sites along the Wilmington waterfront. Reminiscing momen tarily, Broughton said that on his visits no wto Wilmington, he misses greatly the smile and handshake of the late Bruce B. Cameron and then recalled a visit to Airlee which resulted in the gift to the state of a very famous portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh, the por trait now hangs in the Hall of His ory at Raleigh where it is viewed annually by thousands of people. Hard Workers Regarding the future of North Carolina, the speaker pointed out that the state is founded on a type of independence philosophy and has made it a self-reliant state—a state populated by men and women who know how to work and are not afraid of it. The future of the state, he said, is linked unquestionably with its ports development and called at tention to the fact that from Maine to California, every state along the Atlantic seaboard, the Gulf coast and the shores of the Pacific, all have great ports with the exception of North Carolina. But that handicap to future de velopment of North Carolina soon will be overcome. Broughton predicted. Referring then to the decision of the United States Supreme court this week in granting lo—er freight rates to the south and ordering an increase in northern rates, he said that this decision, equalizing freight rates between .the North and South, was the greatest thing that has happened to the South in 100 years. Describing the decision of the court as a great emancipation for southern shippers, Broughton call ed attention to the fact that C. McD. Davis, president of the At lantic Coast Line railroad, had seen fit as a loyal North Carolinian, to point to the decision as of great future benefit to the South. Progress made in North Caro lina over the years, he said, has been made possible through the rugged determination of our people plus a stability of government— the kind of government that busi ness has come to know with pride and the kind of government busi ness can trust. Referring briefly to industrial achievements during World War II in North Carolina, he pointed out that our workers can now do just as highly skilled work as any men in the nation—that the record of the North Carolina Shipbuilding company during the war years proved to one and all that North Carolinians could and did build bet ter ships at lower cost than were turned out elsewhere in the na tion. Know How ft ow Training secured during the war years has made precision work men out of many who were un skilled before and the records es tablished by North Carolina in dustries, he said, has exploded once and for all, the false notion that we don’t know’ how to do things. Today, he continued, we have an abundance of skilled workers, plen ty of available local capital, ample power and other resources and nothing can stand in the way of North Carolina progress if our peo ple make up their minds to utilize what they have. That they are already doing so. is manifested by the fact that be fore the war, Broughton pointed out, North Carolina had only five freezer locker plants. Today there are eighty. And if the citizens of the state, exemplifing that spirit of rugged determination of our fore-fathers, will display the courage to under take the task, • North Carolina can and will, take its rightful place among the industrial states of the nation.

Clark, along with FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover, was worried about the rapid rise in juvenile de linquency. How could it be stop ped? The best way, he figured, was to get the kids interested in some thing else—like sports—before they got interested in crime.

Will Urge Change He said he did not believe Con gress intended by this law to de stroy labor’s gains. But if the act should work in that direction, he promised, “I shall request the Congress to take prompt remedial action.” , He also suggested tacitly that labor itself might clarify the ef fect of the legislation on the wage hour law and other labor reform statutes by testing in the courts its “new and possibly ambiguous” provisions. But Mr. Truman was emphatic in his belief that the good effects of the law would outweigh its po tentially bad ones. Specifically, he said, it should speed a satisfactory settlement of current wage ne gotiations. and enable business to “plan with assurance for full pro duction and price reductions.” “This will be of real value to labor and management in the maintenance of a continued high level of employment,” he said.
