subject to his orders, and conduct
to the prejudice of good order and
discipline.
On the first charge, there were
five specifications alleging that
he turned prisoners over to the
Japs at whose hands they suf
fered cruel, brutal and inhuman
treatment; and a sixth alleging
that he kept and consumed more
than his rightful share of Red
Cross parcels.
Second Coant
On the second count, there were
thirteen specifications, two of
which alleged that he struck pris
ioners; two that he ordered pris
oners to beat fellow-prisoners; and
nine that he deprived prisoners
of meals.
On the third charge, there were
three specifications, one that he
wasted food, knowing that other
prisoners were suffering from mal
nutrition; and two that he threat
ened to report prisoners to the
Jap authorities.
The Navy said tneir were thirty
seven defense witnesses and thirty
eight for the prosecution—all at
one time in the same camp with
defendant.
The record of the trial, consist
ing of 1900 pages and twenty-four
exhibits, is being forwarded to
secretary of the navy Forrestal tor
review and final action.
Kilgore Protests
Representative O’Toole (D-NY)
has asked Forrestal to turn the
record over to the house commit
tee on armed services. Senator
Kilgore (D-M Va) also has pro
tested the secrecy surrounding the
trial. The Wilmington VFW tele
graphed Senator W. B. Umstead
and Representative J. Bayard
Clark of North Carolina, asking
their help in Congressional action.

“This was one of the mistakes
made prior to Pearl Harbor. Peo
ple said the Japs couldn’t attack
us—but they did.
“Today other nations in the
[world are capable of attacking us.
“Great ports like New York city
would be logical targets. The
great industrial centers like De
troit, Pittsburgh and Chicago
would be areas of attack, not the
military dispositions of troops de
ployed in the field.”
He said the attack might come
by long-range aircraft strikes
across the Polar cap and might
include atomic bombing and bac
terorilogical warfare.
“The past two wars should have
proved to the world that we are
the major military power that
would have to be defeated before
any nation could dominate the
world,” he asserted.

As the flood waters of the Iowa
river poured into the Mississippi
at their confluence near Oakville,
la., leaving more than 100,000
acres of bottomland under water
in the Eastern section of the state,
the little town of Alexandria, Mo.,
remained inundated. It was flood
ed last week by «. levee break
and its residents had not returned.
North of here the- town of Can
ton, Mo., half of which remained
covered by several inches of wa
ter from last rvek’s flood, report
ed its levees were well sandbag
ged and that no further serious
damage was expected unless the
river goes higher than a predicted
record high of 20.5 feet for late
tomorrow or Friday.
A sudden overflow on Bear
creek near Hannibal, south of
here, resulting from a heavy rain
forced evacuation of several fam
ilies.
The U. S. Engineers’ division of
fice at St. Louis reported that all
key levees were holding but that
continued unusually heavy rains
in the Mississippi and Missouri
river watersheds would add fur
ther to the “already critical situa
tion.”
Dust on a light bulb can cut its

turns by. husband and wife living
together.
The filing of the joint return by
husband and wife, with the in
come split and the tax computed
on one-half of the aggregate sum,
with the two totals added to de
termine the total tax due, would
eliminae the handling of thou
sands of individual returns, repre
senting separate returns of a hus
band and wife.
Decrease Costs
The elimination of the separate
return of a spouse would reduce
administrative costs of the Bureau
of Internal revenue, and would de
crease the taxpayers costs of fil
ing, Lowrimore said.
Lowrimore will urge the com
mittee to enact into law the pro
posed legislation which will cor
rect the inequity of the taxes in
the community and the non-com
munity property states.
The actual direct savings to tax
payers in accountants and attor
neys fees will accrue to the gov
ernment ajad indirectly to all tax
payers as a result of settlement
by legislation will run into mil
ions of dollars.
The elimination of the necessity'
for the formation of a family part
nership composed of husband and
wife will have a great moral ef
fect, wives and mothers who have
been, compelled to attend to bu.-f
ness afairs, will again be able
to better look after their homes
and children, Lowrimore con
tends.
He explained that in the states
which do not have community
property laws, many ways are
available to minimize income tax
es within the family unit.
One of these is the family part
nership, which may be formed as
between husband and wife.
Accompanying Lowrimore to
Washington is C. Heide Trask,
New Hanover county farmer.
PIEDMONT
(Continued From Page One)
the New Hanover county commis
sioners, said yesterday that the
much discussed session definitely
will be conducted at the hour of
the’ weekly meeting of the city
council at 10 a.m., Wednesday.
Davis, president of Piedmont
Aviation, certified by the Civil
Aeronautics commission as the
company to have its route through
Wilmington, as opposed by the
State Airlines Inc., agreed yester
day to attend Wednesday’s ses
sion. ^
He was riot present last Monday
when H. K. Gilbert Jr., president
of State Airlines, appeared before
the commissioners seeking their
support in petitioning the CAB for
a Rehearing in the matter.
The aviation committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, previous
ly had endorsed the stand of State
Airlines. No action by either the
city council or commissioners has
been taken, pending a presenta
tion of arguments by Piedmont of
ficials.

He declared he had just heard
from NMU negotiators at Boston
that collier companies there had
“finally capitulated” and that col
lier seamen “got the same gains
we got and a few more.”
Murray Winocur, secretary of
the East Coast Joint Policy com
mittee of the CIO maritime unions,
said Pacific coast ships in Atlan
tic and Gulf ports would not sail
until an agreement had been ar
rived at in the West.
The Atlantic and Gulf agree
ment, announced at 1:40 a. m.
(EST) by Assistant Secretary of
Labor John W. Gibson after 14
hours of steady conferences, pro
vided overtime pay for nine holi
days for work performed at sea
or in port in addition to the wage
boost.
The three unions’ present con
tracts, which expire^ last Sunday
midnight precipitating the tieup,
were extended for one year with
a wage re-opening date of Dec.
15. Gibson said the settlement
would benefit 110,000 Atlantic and
Gulf seamen.
The embargo placed on all .
freight shipments to U. S. vessels
in port by the American Associa
tion of Railroads was expected to
be lifted soon.
The liner America, largest U. S.
passenger ship, whose- sailing ori
ginally set for yesterday was post
poned, now is scheduled to depart
tomorrow afternoon for Cobh,
Southampton and Cherbourg, the
U. S. Lines announced.

Rent controls will be adminis

Creedon.
The bill would establish local
advisory boards in each of the
approximately 600 defense rental
areas. They could recommetd in
creases or the lifting of controls.
The administrator would have 30
days to act on their recommenda
tions.
All controls would be lifted on
r.ew housing, hotels, newly rented
dwellings and remodelled houses.
Evictions would be governed by
state laws.

The Taft-Hartley bill would

beyond that in changing the Wag
