"All other peace treaties, if they are to mean anything really, wait on American-Russian understand ing- „ "We shall never have a really firm understanding until American capitalism demonstrates its ability to get along without violent de pression and Soviet communism demonstrates its ability to furnish the basic freedoms.” The United States under the Truman doctruie, he said, ^ is moving “on a suicidal course.” "We are cooperating or prepa ring to cooperate with the re tetionaries in nearly every country in the world. Promises of Bribes “With i m p 1 i c i t promises of bribes we have disrupted the working unity of the major poli cal parties in France and Italy and have thrown our support to the least Democratic and least popular forces in these countries. “We have approved military aid to the completely undemocratic regime in Turkey. We have im peded the reconciliation of differ ences between the major forces Interested in a peaceful and pro ductive Greece. “We are as responsible for Brazil's outlawing the communist party as the Soviets are for the restriction of political freedom in Hungary. “We have undermined the hopes 9? millions of people everywhere that this time we would work in and through a world organi zation.” Sabotaging Peace Wallace said that “the Republi cans under Vandenburg are sabo taging a real peace even more remorsely and destructively today than they did under Lodge a gen eration ago. In 1920 and 1921 the Republicans killed all that Wilson stood for. Today they are trying to kill al) that Roosevelt stood for. The only possible reward of their efforts Will be depression and war.” ‘ Sixty million women and chil dren in Europe are starving,” he added. “The economy-crazed con gress, eager to furnish guns for Europe, cuts the $100,000,000 ap propriation for these people to $40,000,000. “Only children who live in coun tries which have the correct views about Russia will be helped.

Proposed Reorganization Hinges On Budget Fig ures For 1947-48 Proposed reorganization o f Wilmington’s municipal parks and playgrounds depends entirely upon what the city fathers decide to do with the 1947-48 budget. If the $39,175 amount allocated the last fiscal year to that depart ment is slashed it will mean a cutback in personnel. Such was the opinion yesterday by officials at the city hall. Some cut in that appropriation seems imminent, some officials predict ed. Reorganization proposals will come up before the council at a meeting before the end of June. But City Manager J R. Benson yesterday clarified proposed changes that were revealed at Wednesday’s regular council meet ing when a delegation from the north side appeared to gain infor mation regarding the operation of the Cornelius Harnett school play ground. No Change There will tie no change in the operation of the Community Center under the new proposal, Benson explained. It will continue in operation with both an indoor and outdoor program with a train ed director in charge. No playgrounds will be closed, added the city manager. Instead, there will be an athletic director named to be In'charge of all play grounds and to coordinate pro grams and schedules of games. The actual work of supervising each playground will be up to resi dents in that immediate area — persons, Benson said, who have a direct interest m that particular playground because of sons, daughters, relatives or iriends who use that park. “Under the proposed system,” declared the city manager, “ an economy can be effected and a more direct responsibility placed on interested persons.’’ STATE VFW NAMES SNEAD COMMANDER __ i Wilmington Man Elected At Closing Session Of Department Meeting ATLANTIC BEACH, June 5 — yp) _ Edward C.

EWING TO SERVE PRISON SENTENCE Supreme Court Finds No Error In Superior Trials Of Carolinians RALEIGH, June 5 — UPi —The State Supreme court today found no error in three cases which have capiivated the attention of the best legal minds in the state, and denied appeals from the lower su perior courts on convictions of Wall C. Ewing, Roderick Daven port, and W. T. Shore. Ewing, former legislator from Cumberland county, was convict ed last September in Cumberland Superior court on charges of man slaughter in connection with the death of his wife, Mrs. Douglas Southerland Ewing. His appeal was sought on the grounds that Judge R. Hunt Parker denied mo tion for a non-suit, and sentenced him to serve 18 to 20 years in prison. Davenport’s appeal was rejected although his attorneys sought to quash a bill of indictment for ob taining money under falss pre tense. He was sentenced to three to seven years following convic tion last spring in Pitt Superior court. High Interest Rate He was charged with operating a so-called “Big Apple” lean agency, and testimony was that he loaned money at ten per cent in terest weekly on sums which he borrowed at interest, of five per cent weekly. Shore, prominent Mecklenburg county attorney, was charged with being a principal m connection with the operation of a “divorce mill.” His appeal was xurneo down, and he will serve a sen tence of from three to five years. Shore’s co - defendants — Ward M. Blanton and Mrs. Vivian Baird —did not participate in the ap peal. All three were convicted of sub ordination of perjury in obtaining fraudulent divorces for South Car olina residents. The legality of marriages arranged by their former patrons still is under de oate. Blanton was sentenced to five to en years. Mrs. Baird did not con test the charges and was given a suspended sentence of three to live years. Trial Evidence The appeal in the Ewing trial was based on his “condition of oonfirmed inebnty as bearing jpon his responsibility for crime, or the degrees thereform,” Asso oiate Justice A. A.

Senate Republican leaders aban doned hope, in the face of sharp attacks by Senators Pepper (D Fla), Morse (R-Ore) and others, of getting a vote until tomorrow. For the most part, supporters sat confidently by. They expect to roll rp the two-thirds majority re quired to override a possible veto by President Truman. Senator Morse, reading a long speech, told the Senate he will vote against the bill and to sus tain a veto, if or.e comes. He said he would do so even if “every person in the state of Oregon” wanted it to bec-ome law” “Causative Bill’ Morse contended it will "be caus ative, not preventative, of labor difficulties” and added’ that Con gress would be “more honest” by simply repealing present laws in tended to protect the right of work ers to organize. As dispatch of the legislation to the White House neared, a trio of House Democrats appealed to President Truman to veto the measure. The delegation, made up of Representatives Lesinski (Mich), Madden (Ind) and Klein (NY), told reporters afterward that Mr. Truman said he is going to make a thorough study of the bill before acting. The three Democrats made their White House call in the face of thumping approval of the bill by the House yesterday. i.ne vote was 320 to 79, consider ably more than the two-thirds ma jority required to override a veto. There was no doubt the Senate would follow the lead of the House and approve the bill. The only question was whether it would roll up a veto that a veto, if it comes, could be overridden.

Along The Cape Fear SHIPBUILDING — The recent listory of shipbuilding in North Carolina is just about the recent listory of shipbuilding along the 3ape Fear river. And that recent story goes back ibout five years. Its motto “To 3uild Good Ships Quickly.” Briefly that history is described n a large booklet that would do credit to any of the “slick” mag azines published in the nation. It s titled “Five Years of North Carolina Shipbuilding.” Its pub lisher is the North Carolina Ship ouilding company of Wilmington. Off the press less than three weeks ago, it traces the history of shipbuilding in this area be ginning in the war years of 1941 when speed was the essential thing, so badly were ships needed to bridge America and Europe with a steady stream of supplies and troops. * * • FOREWORD — Roger Wil liams, president of the company, sums up the situation in the fore word.

Thirsty after such a feast, he swilled several gallons of water from a trough beside the meal sack. Even Ferdinand should have known that meal and water make a very bloated bull. He became stuck fast, half-wav through the fence. Farmer Allen Lashley, his owner, remembered that a bee sting was applied to the legendary Ferdinand The Bull’s hind quarters to galvanize him into action. Lashley didn’t have a bee so he used an alectric battery. One brief application and Ferdinand jumped clear, bringing part of the fence with him. 8 8 FOARD ELECTED POST COMMANDER World War 1 Veteran To Succeed William K. Stewart, Jr. Charles H.

The President stepped personal ly into the Hungarian crisis amid these' other developments on the seething international front: 1— The Senate ratified the Hun garian, Italian, Bulgarian and Ro manian peace treaties on the urg ing of Republican and Democratic leaders who argued that immed iate ratification was vital to re store European stability and get Russian occupation troops out of Eastern Europe.

Rey nolds Tobacco company and the United Tobacco Workers, F. T. A. C.I.O., made some progress to day towards a settlement of the 36-day old strike at the Reynolds plant, it was evident no final agreement was reached. Another conference was set for 2 p.m. tomorrow. Several of toe participants in negotiations said they hoped to be able to make public Friday some results of the meetings. However, Clayton Moore, coun sel for the firm and chairman of its negotiating committee, said the company’s position remained the same. Donald Henderson of Philadelphia, Pa., president of the Food Tobacco and Agricultural Workers, said the two group spent the afternoon "feeling each other out.” The activity in the conference rooms indicated that real bar gaining was going on and sup ported guesses that the long-stand ing deadlock is breaking. Smaller Groups The company and the union broke into subcomittees to facili tate conferences. The company > subcommittee was made up oi John Witaker, a vice-president oi the firm, Moore, and William F. Howe, labor relations lawyer from Washington, D. C. The union’s subcommittee wa« composed of M. R. Henderson, W. Clark Sheppard, co-chairman oi striking Local 22 of the United Tobacco Workers and Willie Crier, treasurer of Local 22. Henderson, who was not present for the re opening of negotiations after a week’s recess, arrived today. His absence Wednesday was thought by some observers to be a cause of apparent failure to advance further towards an agreement. The fruit-basket turnover in the conference rooms was heightened today.
