Dredge Bucks Heavy Storm Gigantic Waves Bend Steel Blinds On Vessel While Enroute Here by sue marshall Star Staff Writer The giant pipe-line dredge, G. A. McWilliams and her 18-man crew made port here safely yesterday afternoon after weathering a storm 0ff the coast of Florida which threatened the lives of all on board and warped 5-8 inch steel plates Captain J. W. Eagleson, skipper 0f the McWilliams, said that the seas were so rough on Sunday nj»ht that he ‘‘wouldn’t have given 2 dime for all our lives.” The largest dredge ever to work on the Cape Fear river, the Mc Williams. owned and operated by the McWilliams Dredging company 0f New Orleans, is scheduled to the actual work of deepening the" Cape Fear river channel to 32 feet within the next week. The dredge ran into the storm just before they reached Jackson ville. Fla., but the worst of it came on Sunday night, with the waves breaking over the top of the five-deck vessel, and the pumps and all hands aboard working all night to keep from being drowned out. It was then that the 5-8 inch steel blinds, placed over the win dows when the dredge goes to sea, were bent ‘‘six or eight inches” by the force of the lashing waves. The crew was forced to weld the steel blinds to the side of the ves sel and the cracks around the doors to keep the dredge from sink ing. Capt. Juagieson, a veteran sea man, having worked on dredges jinre he was 14 years old, said in no uncertain terms that that was the worst storm he’d encountered in all his 28 years of that type of work, except in 1940. Everything on the dredge had to be tied’down to keep it from wash ing away, he said, and most of the crew members had put on life preservers. Some put on two pre servers, he added. The dredge and her crew reach ed Jacksonville about 11 a. m. on Monday, he said and were forced to lay over there for 24 hours, making her a day late in arriving here to begin work on the Cape < Fear.

JONASLAMBASTS JUDICIAL SYSTEM President Of Bar Associa tion Says Operation On Horses, Buggy Basis BLOWING ROCK, June 26— (iP)— Charles R. Jonas, of Lincolnton, president of the North Carolina Bar association, declared tonight that the state is operating its “judicial system on a horse and buggy basis.” Jonas’ address, which opened the bar association’s 49th annual convention, struck out at “confu sion and delay” in court proce dure of the state. He called for the abolition of the Superior court system that rotates presiding judges, terming the procedure of “1868 vintage.” Jonas said the rotation proce dure should be replaced by a pre trial conference between judges and lawyers, a system which he stated is used in a number of federal and state courts else where. This, he asserted, would eliminate much confusion in pre sent courts which devote too much time on procedural matters that can be cleared away before the selection of a trial jury. An attendance of 250 members of the association is expected at the Green Park hotel. The executive committee, head ed by W. J. Adams, Jr., Greens boro, met this afternoon. Highlights ol tomorrow s pro gram, which includes several morning addresses, will be an af ternoon golf tournament and a night banquet address by Chief Justice Bolitha J. Laws, of the U. S. District court ior the Dis trict of Columbia. MYSTERY OBJECTS BRING ARGUMENTS Three More Persons Report Phenomena; Skeptics Give Varied Answers By The associaed Press Conjecture multiplied today as widely separated areas reported incredibly fast disc - like objects flashing through the sky — but skeptics remained. Following yesterday’s report at Pendleton, Ore., by Kenneth Ar nold of Boise, Idaho, that he had seen mine saucer-shaped, shiny objects dipping and skimming through the sky between Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams in Wash ington state at an estimated 1200 miles an hour, came these obser vations today: ' Byron Savage, Oklahoma City businessman pilot, said that five or six weks ago he observed a flat disc-like object hurtling through the sky at tremendous sped. At Kansas City, W. I. Daven port, a carpenter, said that yes terday he, too, saw nine speeding objects, moving West high in the sky. They were going fast and he could not make out their shape. However he reported engine sound and vapor trails. A Bremerton, Wash., housewife — West across the Cascade moun tains from where Arnold saw his objects — said that twice in the past 10 days she had seen ‘‘plat ter-like” light-reflecting objects. “I thought surely nothing could travel so fast,” Mrs. Elma Shing ler said. Searching Scientists Stick Necks Out Often B CARL CAHILL Star Staff Writer Scientists have a time for them selves. As a result of new discoveries they are constantly contradicting themselves. Those in the medical profession seem to enjoy finding facts that are apart from tne usu al knowledge more than any others. Often they contradict con tradictions.

Such a law enabling the govern ment to draft men and women for farms and factories as well as military service—was one of three Baruch suggested should be put on the law books now, because “with the new instrumentalities of de struction, we will not have time to improvise the others. 1. An industrial plan ready to go into effect with full control of production, distribution and prices, with the power of allocation, pri ority and even exclusion. 2. A wartime tax bill, to take effect upon hostilities, which would regulate prices and savings and take “unfair profits out of war. 3. Restrictions on civilian use of manpower and materials tough er than those of World War II, when too much went for wants rather than needs. No War Threat “I see no war with Russia as an immediate threat,” Baruch said, adding that he found “irritations” but did not fear “explosions.” He continued: “But in the cold war that is be ing waged against us, we must always remember that their objec tive is our unrest. We can guard against that by a firm belief in ourselves under the magnificent flowering of our century and a half of national life.” Baruch also called for universal military training and other steps as he outlined this advance mobli zation plan in an address to the first graduating class of the Armed Forces Industrial college. The col leg originally was set up to train army officers in industrial mobili zation but was broadened last year to include those of other services. Congress Refused Other nations, including Britain, drafted workers for industry as well as the armed forces in World War II. But Congress refused to pass such a law for this country, although President Roosevelt rec ommended it. Baruch, elder statesman and ad viser to Presidents, called the fu ture “unr»st.fuir but “not alarm ing.’ But he said that this country must be prepared, “militarily, economically and spiritually.’ BAPTISTS LAUNCH DRIVE FOR FUNDS Churches Of State Will Seek To Raise $1,500, 000 For Wake Forest Winston-Salem, June 26—M3)— North Carolina Baptists launched their drive to raise $1,500,000 as their part of the $6,000,000 needed to transfer Wake Forest college to Winston-Salern here today. More than 100 leaders from the 70 Baptist associations in the state laid plans for the three-year cam paign in a luncheon session. Horace Easom oE Charlotte, di rector of the drive, told the Baptist leaders that there had never been a greater opportunity for a Chris tian education program than the one they have under terms of the contract with the Smith Reynolds foundation. Income from the $10. 500,000 foundation will go to Wake Forest college jf it is moved here within the nejct five years. “We must not fail in this great undertaking,” Easom said. “Two ways of life are clashing now—the Christian and the Godless, as rep resented by the Communists—and we must increase our efforts through this chance for grestei Christian education. Aid 1,009 Students “This country was founded in a Christian atmosphere but we have steadily drifted away from this in our schools. The $359,000 year ly income from the foundation will pay for 1,000 students a year. Think what this means in the training of missionaries, preach ers and Christian laymen and mo thers.” Although the drive has just be gun, Easom reported that $144,000 already has been pledged by seven Baptist churches. He said these were the First Baptist church at Shelby, $25,000; First Church at Asheville, $25,000; First Church at Charlotte, $30,000; First church at Lumberton, $25,000; First Church at Hendersonville, $9,000; Angier, $5,000; First Church at Fayette ville, $25,000. He pointed out that actually the churches would have to raise a fourth of the needed six million dollars covered that milk is no better for the teeth than anything else.

By standing vote of 124 to 43, the House approved the bill after being told it will save this country money and does not commit the United States to admit any of the refugees. The bill has passed the Senate, but goes back there for action on two House changes. One would re duce the United States contribution to the international organiations work for the next 12 months from $15,000,000 to 73,500,000. The other allows payments from the U.

Along The Cape Fear t — ..— - I LOCKWOOD’S FOLLY — Ever hear of old man Lockwood? He built a boat and got an inlet named after him, according to legends which persist today. Recently Lockwood’s Folly In let, located near Supply, just south of Southport, figured in newspaper accounts of yachts colliding with a sunken pulpwood barge which sunk in the waterway near the inlet. While it may continue to make history with things marine, the legends are much more colorful. Some variations in the tales told about Lockwood occur when they are heard frofn several pairs of lips but generally the theme is the same. All the legends insist that Lock wood picked an inlet near South port, then Smithville, to build a boat. Apparently he had an aver sion to constructing a vessel near any habitation. Nevertheless he '.aid the keel and in the following weeks a craft, larger than most if the vessels peculiar to that sec 'on of the country, took shape. * * * ERROR IN PLANNING — But somewhere along the way Lock wood erred.

SAD-EYED FIREMEN WILL BURY SPOT IN CITY PET CEMETERY JACKSONVILLE, 111., June 26 — (U.R) — Spot will be buried tomor row with a big, red fire engine for a hearse, and probably half the town as mourners. Spot -was a nondescrept brown and white puppy who wandered in to the Jacksonville fire station six years ago. The firemen adopted Spot and Spot adopted the fire men. Spot died this morning of pneu monia. When the word got around, the men in Hugh Gibson’s wood working shop back of the firehouse passed up their lunch hour, They spent the time making a casket for Spot. The firemen at the station polish ed the engine tonight for the funeral. familiar to the inlet, its tides and depth, or he reckoned without the draught of his boat. For when he launched it he found that the inlet was too shallow to float the vessel to the waterway and the ocean. Another version of the legend contends the inlet floated the craft i-iroperty but that the superstruc ture towered above a low-lying bridge across the course Lockwood must travel. Anyway, both tales end with Lockwood’s boat lying in the inlet rotting, destined never to make her maiden voyage. The folk in that section of the country heard of Lockwod's mis fortune and soon dubbed the in cident, “Lockwood’s Folly.” And to this day the inlet bears the name Lockwood’o Folly Inlet. * * * ANOTHER STORY — James Sprunt, who yeass ago wrote a book, “Chsc-nicies of the Cape Feas River”, has a different ver sion of the naming of the inlet.

Labor Plans Court Tests Organized Workers Will Fight Taft-Hartley Bill Backers At Elections WASHINGTON, June 26 — (/P) — The AFL high command today turned thumbs down on r gen eral strike against the Taft-Hart ley labor act. It decided instead to battle the law in the courts and to fight its backers at the election booths. Meanwhile, nearly 300,000 of John L. Lewis’ United Mine Work ers stayed away from work. Steel mills and railroads, heavy coal users, reported a growing layoff of workers. A really crippling coal strike seemed almost cer tain for early next month In the Senate, Sneator Martin CR-Pa.) assailed “blind so-called labor leaders’’ and said they had taken a course of defiance to the law which “cou'd set back the cause of labor 50 years.” Martin said the wildcat walk outs were "obviously inspired” by the UMW leadership. Lewis kept his silence. He was one of those who sat in on an emergency meeting „f the AFL ex ecutive council which voted to day to call the presidents of the federation’s 105 unions to confer on strategy at a Washington meeting July 5. Idea Rejected AFL President William Green told reporters after the meeting that there has been a flood of proposals for a nationwide, con certed general strike to last un til the brand new law is repeal ed. The idea was rejected as "un wise and inadvisable,” Green said. He added: "Instead we are going to fight the measure in the courts and are going to maintain our rights under the bill in negotia ting with employers.” Also, he said the AFL will or ganize politically "with the pur pose of defeating every member of Congress who voted for this terrible legislation.” Green predicted that passage of the bill, with its provisions to restrict strikes and other union activities, has hastened moves to ward an AFL-CIO merger. taxcutTupport GAINS MOMENTUM Senator T y d i n g s Latest Convert To Move For Re duction On January 1 WASHINGTON, June 26 — (JP) — A new move to cut income taxes by $4,000,000,000 effective January 1, 1948, picked up more support on Capitol Hill today and President Truman declined to say whether he would veto it. The president, who killed with a veto a bill making the reduction effective July 1, 1947, was asked at a news conference for his re action to the new move He said he would take care of that devel opment if such a bill reaches him. Senator Tynings (D-Md) who vo ted against the July 1 tax cut measure, told a reporter he is “inclined” to support a January 1 reduction, even over another veto. “I say I am ‘inclined’ to support it only because conditions might change or facts arise that I do not know about now,” Tydings said. “Under present conditions I think there will be sufficient sur plus on January 1 to make a sub stantial payment on the debt and to cut taxes.” At the same time, Senator Byrd (D-Va) said that a canvass oj Democrats who voted against tho July ] bill when it was passed by the senate on a 52 to 34 vote May 18 showed there is “sharply grow ing sentiment in favor of changing the date to January 1 and passing the measure again. Chairman Knutson (R-Minn) of the House Ways and Means com mittee has already introduced the bill in the House with the changed date. But Senate Republicans have adopted a "wait and see” attitude. Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman of the GOP Policy committee, said any decision on attempting to re vive the tax issue would be de layed until some time next week.
