Weather On Page Zv# * Delegation Informs Lord Inverchapel New Excise To Hurt Industry Morning Star Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, May 20. — Rep resentatives Clark and Cooley of North Carolina and other tobacco state Congressmen protested the new, high British excise tax on tobacco today in a parley with Undersecretary of State William Clayton, and Lord Inverchapel, the British ambassador. The delegation asked Clayton, who has just returned from the International Trade Organization in Geneva, whether he felt that the economic condition of Great Brit ain made necessary such drastic action or whether “they might be just throwing us a curve." He was decidedly of the opinion that Brit ish dollars are disappearing more rapidly than anticipated and that the British regard it as being ab solutely necessary to place this high tax on American tobacco in order to conserve enough dollars with which to buy the absolute necessities of life. His opinion is that Great Britain is acting in good faith. Death Blow The delegation called on Lord Inverchapel at the British em bassy and plainly stated that the recent action by the British parlia ment was well calculated to be a death blow to the tobacco farm (See CLARK Page Two) Interstate Commerce Commission Awards Florida East Coast Merger Plan To ACL; Dicl^s. Cites Need Of Port Facilities . v i __ Rotar/uears Timely Talk Editor Stresses Danger Of One Commodity Program For Waterfront The resurgence of Wilmington as a general eastern seaboard port on a par with the traffic volume enjoyed in its peak year of 1941 was the topic of an address yester day by A1 Dickson, editor of the Wilmington News, before members of the Rotary club at their week ly luncheon meeting. The Atlantic Coast Line octet, corr,iosed of members of the ACL male chorus gave a number of vocal selections before the meet ing The male chorus participated in the Grace Methodist church benefit performance last night at the New Hanover High school audi torium. Wilmington cannot expect to re gain a real competitive foothold with Charleston and Norfolk until she builds up some heavy port industries, abandons the "one com modity” system and provides ade quate general port facilities. "It is imposible to expect any thing greet until a real justifica tion of commerce and steamship service is attained,” he said. Cites Danger Dickson recalled that i'ne city was at one time a great naval stores center, then shifting to steel shipping, from that to cotton and thence to the present “one com modity” system of petroleum prod ucts. Recognizing the worth of Wil mington’s being the second largest oil terminal on the eastern sea board, Dickson said that neverthe less it could easily be the city’^ ruination as a port unless other commodities were handled as well. The way to port progress for j Wilmington, Dickson said, was i through bringing about more in-1 terest in her port facilities in the j (See ROTARY Page Two) --- Mother Thinks Amelia j Earhart Jap Prisoner NEW YORK, May 20. —(TP)—The mother of Amelia Earhart, un heard from since she radioed for help while over the Pacific ocean during a round-the-world fligh' m 1937, said tonight the missing flier was on a secret government mis sion and was believed taken prisoner by the Japanese. Mrs. Amy Otis Earhart. 79. of Boston, explained in an interview over Radio Station WOR that she was discussing publicly for the first time the disappearance o! her daughter 10 years ago. Mrs. Earhart said her daughter was on a government mission “so secret that it was even kept from me,” and added: “I think my daughter landed and was taken prisoner of the Japs. 1 have letters, documents and messages addressed to me that convinced me thoroughly that she landed on land.” The mother said she had made unsuccessful efforts to locate her daughter through the Japanese consul in Los Angeles. The official with whom she talked .originally was "gone,” she said, upon her return the following day. "When I returned there was a strange man there who didn’t know the facts, and didn t want to take the matter up,” Mrs. Ear hart said. The missing flier’s radioed ap peal said she was over the Pacific ocean with no land in sight, and with a dwindling fuel supply in her plane. United States Navy vessels con ducted an intensive search, but no trace was found of Miss Earhart or the plane.

Tot Escapes Contempt Charges; Dad Must Pay U p Three-year-old red headed Lil lian Duncan yesterday scampered about the courtroom, climbed on the railing before Judge Winfield Smith’s bench and peered onto his desk. She ran over and looked out the open window, unaware that a hear ing was on that would decide just how much her daddy would be ordered to pay for her support. _ Harvey Duncan, charged with non-support of the child and his wife, Mary, was the defendant, brought from Greensboro et the instance of the Ytife. Mary Duncan testified that her husband, from whom she had been separated since last July, had failed to give her any support money since Christmas and that the grandparents were keeping the child. The husband told the court that for the last two months he had been employed at Greensboro and paid 90 cents an hour with his weekly paycheck amounting to^ $35 to $40 weekly. The court ordered the father to pay $6 a w«ek and post a $200 maintenance bond t« guarantee payments.

President’s Mother Rallies After Eating Hearty Supper ------- BILL TO END SUGAR RATIONING MAY GAIN CONGRESS APPROVAL WASHINGTON, May 20—(U.fi)—A bill to end sugar rationing without v. aiting for the October 31 deadline provided under the present law was introduced in the senate today and its sponsorers predicted congress would approve it. Offered by Republican Senators Joseph R. McCarthy, Wis.. and John W. Bricker, O., the legislation would stop rationing upon enactment, but would authorize the secretary of agriculture to continue inventory controls. “I feel confident that we can pass it,” McCarthy said, adding that he would ask the Senate Banking committee to start hearings “immediately.” He said there actually is a “surplus” of sugar now and he quoted sugar industry men as saying that 300,000 tons of Cuban sugar are “going begging for a buyer.” ACL MALE CHORUS SCORES TRIUMPH i Women’s Chorus, Child Stars Round Out Pleas ing Benefit Program There were so many pleasant features of the Coast Line Male Chorus concert last night that it is puzzling to determine where to start. Pernaps the best of all was the cause for which it was given. The totai revenue, as you know, is to go to the Grace Methodist church rebuilding fund. As the New Han over High school auditorium was filled with pleased auditors, the fund will be substantially increas ed. The packed house, too, was a fine tribute to the chorus, which has been in rehearsal only six weeks under the able direction of Edwin D. Clark, director of music at the First Presbyterian church. In the old days before the war the ACL chorus enjoyed great pop ularity, but disbanded with the coming of hostilities. Word that it was being reorganized brought keen pleasure to music lovers, with the result that all of a thous and persons greeted it on its reap (See ACL Page Two) NO DEVELOPMENTS, OFFICERS REPORT IN DEVOLL SLAYING Special to The Star SOUTHPORT May 20—Deputy Sheriff E. V. Leonard, of Bruns wick county said today that no new developments have been made in the mysterious slaying of Sgt. David Devoll, whose body was found in his automobile near Shal lotte on May 9.

C., where Devoll was stationed at the time of his death, has announced that the Brunswick county officers will be allowed to make any announce ments relative to the mystery, Leonard said they had not been informed of any new develop ments. It has been reported that the army has arrested a man believed to have been connected with the slaying, but attaches at the air base have refused to divulge his name or on what charges he is being held. LT. GEN. GILLEM APPOINTED WASHINGTON May 20—(£>)—Ap pointment of Lt. Gen. Alvan G. Gilem to command of the Third army with headquarters at At lanta, effective June 15, was’ an nounced today by the War depart ment. Along The Cape Fear NAIL ON HEAD — Probably, one of the most forceful summar izations of what Wilmington needs to recharge its ports growth was delivered to Rotary club members at their luncheon meeting yester day. Admitting that he was a news paperman — and not a business analysist at the outset — A1 Dick son. editor of The News — went to the heart of the situation by ex plaining that the city had become the port of the one commodity instead of several. And the reason for this unfor tunate situation, he explained, was because the port had inade quate warehouse facilities. THE WAR ERA—brought the port picture up-to-aate by re viewing the year of 1941 and ex plaining that it was the busiest year of traffic volume. But he went on to say that because Wil mington was not a convoy as sembly point, its commerce start ed a downward plunge with the beginning of the ww. He pointed out that ihe *ub i marine menace grew so acute at times that instead of Wilming ton being a receiving point for a good part of the Carolinas’ gaso line, motor fuel was transports here from the interior. All of this was going on, he said, while Charleston, with its port of embarkation and Norfolk with its tremendous naval activity forged ahead. Carolina shippers favored those two ports more than 'ever and they grew stronger during the war Today, he declared, Charleston has gained permanent possession of the port of embarkation and is pressing a $15,000,000 port and in dustrial development. * * VARIETY — The core of Eir.~i’s address was a plea for more and better warehousing facilities to accomodate a diversified ship ping program. As a concrete example of what he meant is the fact that despite a lower freight to Wilmington than Norfolk enjoys, most of the to bacco shipped tor export goes to (See CAPE FEAR Page TwoJ, GRANDVIEW, Mo., May 20—(fP) —President Truman’s gravely ill mother put on another one of her surprising rallies tonight.

Davis said he had not heard of the decision until told by The Star. DISHWASHER IKE WASHINGTON, May 20—(JP) — Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower does the family dishes Sunday nights. It came out today when the general was testifying before the House Foreign Affairs com mittee. Rep. Jarman (D-Ala) recalled that once during the war when he was going to Europe Mrs. Eisenhower told him to tell Ike not to get too “uppity” over his war successes; that he would still have to do the dishes when he returned. “Tell us,” said Jarman, “yon don’t do the dishes now, do you?” “Only on Sunday nights,” Eisenhower grinned. Boy Breaks In Trial Of Father On First Degree Murder Count LILLINGTON, May 20 — UP) — A 12-year-old boy, called by the state as its chief witness in the murder trial of his father, w-ent to pieces and wTas unable to tes tify today concerning the shot gun death of his mother last March 25. The boy, Earl Jordan, who found his mother. Mrs. Perl Jordan, 38, dead with a two-inch hole in her neck, cried for several minutes without uttering a word when questioned by solicitor Jack Hooks, who is seeking a first de gree conviction against his father, Harry Jordan, Erwin planter. Munich Jews Roll Back Calendar Almost Decade ■ MUNICH, Germany, May 20—UP) —Jews in Munich rolled the cal endar back almost ten years to day,* reopening with elaborate cer emonies a. synagogue destroyed by Nazi street fighters in a wave of anti-Semitic depredations. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American commander in Europe, congratu lated the Jews for their two-year effort at rebuilding the place of worship and declared: “1 am both proud and humble to be here. As a soldier I recog nize courage and I am humble here in the face of the suffering through which the Jewish people have passed. We must not and we shall not forget those who suffer ed.” “Perhaps we are on the thresh old of a new tolerance throughout the world,” Clay said. “Let us hope we start here a message which may spread throughout the world.’’ he pledged the U. S. Army to stay as a guarantor of the rights “of all men.” Crowding into the filled Syna gogue were the workmen who re built it, mostly by hand. The Synagogue, first to be re opened in Munich since the war, is located near the area where the Nazis held their big demon strations when Hitler was su preme. _ TANKER SPILLS 5,200 GALLONS OF GASOLINE Chief Ludie Croom’s alert fire department yesterday probably averted a disastrous blaze when a motor transport trailer dropped from its tractor while leaving the Cape Fear Terminal and spilled 5,200 gallons of gasoline on the ground. The fire department, under Chief Croom's direction, answered the alarm in full force and threw up an enbankment of dirt to prevent the gasoline from running' into the river and further endangering the water front. However, little damage was done with the exception of the loss of the gas and the damage done to the truck’s trailer, the report said. The department was called to extinguish a fire at the Taylor Col quitt company yesterday. The re port said that the fire was caused by sparks from the crain which set the rack afire. The damage was not estimated, however, it was said that it was small. RAILROADS URGE SUIT DISMISSAL Lawyers Contend State Of Georgia Has Not Sup ported Contentions WASHINGTON, May 20 — Uh — Contending that Georgia has failed to support a case against them, 20 railroads today asked a Supreme court special master to dismiss an anti-trust suit in which the state seeks a revision in freight rates. Claude Shaw, assistant attorney general of Georgia, is scheduled to begin his arguments against the dismissal motion tomorrow. Arguments on the merits bf the case will begin Thursday before Special Master Lloyd K. Garrison, who has given no indication when he will rule on the dismissal mo tion, but a ruling is not expected for "weeks.” “Lady Cops” Carry On Amid W olfyWolf Calls PITTSBURGH, May 20 —iSt - This industrial city put “Lady cops” to work today ang it was a toss-up who did the most whist ling—the comely traffic directors or the male motorists who passed i them. ! The spic - and span uniform of blue coat and Wave-type hat worn by the 10 pioneers was sartoriaily perfect but no protection against “wolf calls.” The women officers went on duty directing traffic at school corners, relieving 10 of their male colleagues. School children loved the inno-j vation. So did passing motorists. The “lady cops’’ all were enthusi astic. “You can turn me in anytime,” commented waggish truck drivers and commuters passing the cor ners controlled by the distaff side. The girls, all matrons, can do that very thing. They are empowered to issue traffic violation summons. “It’s really wonderful,” said Mrs. Grace Kiiian, who keeps house for an eight-year-old son, along with her traffic duties. “We like ladies down here,” chorused the children at Arsenal school. -- Vi L11V- lUllUg »vaa read to the ACL president and he issued the following statement: “According to the report you have just read me, I can issue the following statement,” Davis said. “The price the commission approv ed today, according to your report, is in excess of the amount offered by the Atlantic Coast Line, how ever, the management of the rail road will - commend to t*- share holders that the Interstate Com merce Commission price be ac cepted by the Atlantic Coast Line.” Davis said the management would also recommend that the stockholders accept the other stip ulations, which were mentioned in the ICC report. *1 will issue a complete state ment upon my return to Wilming ton Saturday,” Davis told The Star. “I have not had an opportuni ty to study the complete ICC re port and would not like to com ment further until I have,’’ the ACL president said. “We, of the ACL, are very much interested in acquiring the Florida East Coast Railway,” he added. The ICC directed the consolida tion to consummate the reorgani zation of Florida East Coast, which has been in bankruptcy pro ceedings since 1942. The commission previously gave approval to an examiner’s recom mendation for independent opera tion of the line under control of the St. Joe Paper company, which is owned by -the Alfred I. Du Pont estate, but reopened the case to reconsider the Atlantic Coast Line’s plan for absorbing the prop erties. A majority of the 11-member commission said the approved plan would lead to “betterment of ser vice to the public.” Commissioner Mahaffie filed a dissent, in which he said he was joined in whole or in part by Com missioner Miller, Splawn and Lee. Said Mahaffie: “The views of the persons serv ed by the railroad, the persons dependent on it for a livelihood, and of those who own its securities all have to be very largely dis regarded in order to reach the ma jority conclusion (for merger). The result of the present report, in my judgment, is more likely to be prolonged litigation.” Back To Courts The matter now goes back to the Florida District Court for con firmation. Thereafter, ICC said, “the method by which creditors (See MANAGEMENT Page Two) STATE RAILROADS SEEK FARES HIKE Seaboard, Southern, Coast Line Ask Intrastate Coach Rate Increase RALEIGH. May 20. —(£>)—North Carolina’s major railroads — the Southern, Seaboard and Atlantic Coast Line—applied to the State Utilities commission again today for permission to increase their in trastate coach fares from 1.65 to 2.2 cents per mile. The commission set a bearing ol the application for Aug. 8. Interstate coach fares and the fares in neighboring states were increased from 1.65 to 2.2 cents per miie early in the war, but the N. C. Commission refused the raii 1 roads’ request for a similar in I crease in North Carolina on the grounds that service rendered on intrastate runs is not comparable to interstate trips. After prolonged litigation. The | commission’s decision was upheld by the U. S. Supreme court, and recently the commission ordered the railroads to refund passengers approxiriMtely $500,000 because the railroads were charging the higher fares while the question was being litigated. And So To Bed The Star gets its share of calls for information—and it gladly gives out when it pos sesses the information. But last night it had a call to report a certain news item from an informant, and when told that the story already had been reported, the per son said: “Will you please tell me what time the——will take place?” To which the copy boy, who happened to answer the phaaow said in an undertone: “Tw takes the oaks!”
