Landis Signs Report Reco mmending 2,000 Feet In Mountain Areas | WASHINGTON, July 7. —(U.R)— A special Presidential air safety in vestigation board recommended to day that, effective immediately, all aircraft operating at night under instrument conditions, be required to fly at least 2,000 feet above mountainous terrain and 1,000 feet above “characteristically level” territory. The board, established by Presi dent Truman last month after 146 persons died in air crashes in New York, Maryland and West Virginia, stipulated that the 2,000-foot rule should be established in the Rocky mountain area of the West, the Ap palachian area of the East and in other specified mountainous areas. The board said the present 1,000 foot level for daylight flying in level areas could be continued. The report was signed by James M. Landis, chairman of the group who also is chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Authority. He wrote the President that that part of the United States generally West of the 104th meridian and in the area of the Appalachian mount ains in the Eastern United States should especially be covered by the 2,000-foot rule. The board also recommended that all scheduled air transports be re quired to install, as soon as pos sible, approved terrain proximity indicators operating on electronic principles as a secondary aid to aneroid altimeters now required on all planes. Landis said these devices were inexpensive and are now available or will be shortly. The proximity indicator warns the pilot of the distance of land at See AIR On Page Two LEGION OFFICERS TO BE INSTALLED Ray Galloway To Take Over Commandership At Ceremony Saturday Ray Galloway will be formally installed as commander of the North Carolina Department of the American Legion in a ceremony to be held here at noon next Sat urday, Paul R.

Owens, 58, heard him self sentenced to 10 years imprison ment today and laughed in the judge’s face because he said, “I haven’t got more than a year to live.” A dapper, erect man with a crim inal record as long as your arm, Owens was convicted of cashing $227.60 worth of stolen pay checks in Memphis. “I couldn’t help thinking how funny it was,” Owens chuckled iater, “that they could sentence me for stealing just a couple of hundred dollars when they knew I had had at least $50,000 worth of cars last year—and they couldn t Lprove a thing!” It was funny, he said, how the attorney general recommended eight years, his lawyer five and the judge gave him ten. “It was funny,’’ he said, “be cause the doctor said I didn’t have more than a year to live.’’ Before Federal Judge Perry Boyd passed sentence, Assistant U. S. Attorney Thomas E. Farnsworth read Owens’ FBI record to the court. # His criminal career began in 1917. Then there was a conviction for forgery in Ohio in 1925, another in Alabama in 1929, another in Illinois in 1933, another in Cali fornia in 1942. Sentence* ranged up to 20 years. Coal Strike Threat Dies As UMW Policy Cc-<s'“itee Ratifies National Contract; UN Group Agrees To Destroy Atom Bomb Russia Wins Big Victory Commission Names Sub Committee To Put Soviet Proposal In Writing LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y„ July 7 —(U.R)—A majority of the United Nations Atomic Energy commis sion tentatively agreed in prin ciple tonight that all existing atomic weapons should be de stroyed. The atomic delegates, sitting as a committee, appointee’ a four-na tion subcommittee to put the So viet proposal into writing. Soviet delegate Andrei Gromy ko, almost chanting that ‘‘atomic weapons must be destroyed,” got specific support from representa tives of Great Britain, Canada, Australia, China and Brazil. In ad dition, Poland was committed to support Russia in the 12-nation committee. United States Delegate Freder ick Osborn did not take a definite stand. Leaves Way Open The American-backed Baruch plan for atomic control, and a dis armament resolution passed by the U. N. general assembly last fall, provided only that the atomic bomb be eliminated from national armaments. This left the way open for the weapon to be includ ed in UN’s arms forces. Today’s decision meant that the proposed UN’s ‘‘police force” to maintain the peace would not have atomic weapons. The Baruch plan provided for “disposal” of atomic bombs, and delegates pointed out today that this possibly could let the United States, for instance "dispose” of its bombs by turning them over to See RUSSIA on Page Two RECORDER TACKS ON HEAVY FINES Court Coffers Enriched By Nearly $500 From Traf fic Violators Recorders court yesterday con ducted a field day upon traffic violators as the result of whole sale arrests under the new state laws over the long holiday week end. Approximately 2a cases were run through the court with fines and bond forfeits totaling approx imately $500. Judge Winfield Smith made it plain that from now on there will be no mercy or “ex tenuating circumstances” allowed violators. And to show he means to be tough he issued the drastic ruling to police,deputies and high way patrolmen that violators ar rested on a week-end who tell the the authorities they will post bond as they cannot be in court Monday morning, shall go to jail in lieu of bail '.o Insure their presence when their hearing comes up. J. B. Parker, 60, drew a $25 fine, 60-day suspended sentance and ordered to pay $117 resti tution on a charge of reckless driving. Parker immediately ap pealed to the Superior court and his bond was set at $200. His ar rest was the result of a crash on the Wrightsville highway, be tween his car and one operated by Mark Vetters.

GOVERNOR PLEADS FOR LARGER VOTE Cherry Urges Tobacco Growers To Support As sessment Referendum RALEIGH, July 7 —UP)—Urging every grower of flue-cured tobac co to vote in Saturday’s assess ment referendum, Governor Cherry said tonight that “if flue cured tobacco growers expect to continue sales of large quantities for export, they must see that our international objectives of an ex panding world trade and peaceful world order are maintained.” The referendum, which was au thorized by legislatures of North and South Carolina, will deter mine whether flue - cured tobacco growers will assess themselves 10 cents per acre of tobacco to carry out a board program to promote tobacco exports. A favorable vote of two-thirds of those casting ballots will be necessary to put the program in effect. Facing Crisis “Right now we are facing a crisis in our export market,” the governor said in a radio broad cast. “Great Britain, for instance, has stiffened her import duty to $11 a pound. As a result, con sumption is expected to fall 25 to 30 per cent. “The situation is not bright in other countries which normally See GOVERNOR on Page Two FINAL CURTAIN SET ON NOTED COMEDY “Life With Father” Will Close Saturday After “Longest” Run NEW YORK, July 7—LB—1"Life With Father,” the longest running play in the history of the Ameri can theater, will close Saturday night, July 12, at the Alvin Thea ter after 3,205 performances. Oscar Serlin, producer of the comedy written by Howard Lind say and Russell Cfouse, said sad lv: “Apparently everyone in Amer ica has seen it.” “Life With Father,” in its 401 weeks on Broadway, will have grossed a total of $5,080,000. The various touring companies grossed $5,048, bringing the doAiestic stage gross to $10,128,000. This does not include the receipts from foreign productions nor the $500, 000 paid for the screen rights by Warner Brothers. The play has been essentially a love story about a middle aged couple living in the rococo era of New York's 1890’s._ Along The Cape Fear CONTROVERSY—Ever so often this column receives a letter from a person who disagrees with some of the events recorded in previous write-ups. Most of those who believe or re member facts contrary to those set forth here sign their names to their letters. They tell what they base their beliefs on and offer an explanation on how they arrived at their conclusions. But not so with one person who signs himself, A. P. Reader. A check of the phone and city direc tories shows no A. P. Readers. In fact they show no Reader. So apparently it must be a fictitious name coined by some local genius. Perhaps it means Associated Press Reader. A Practical Reader or a Piqued Reader. It doesn’t matter, • * * INVESTMENT—He invested one cent in a postcard and sent the following message: “Along the Cape Fear always jes keeps rollin’ awrong. In Friday’s column, can any one on your paper truthfully say he believes that any one ever walked on ice across the Cape Fear River? If the answer is negative, then why expect your readers to * swallow such a statement? Even Geo Washington used a boat when he crossed the ice-filled Delaware. People here may be gullible but they will want official verification that the river had an ice surface, from four to 12 inches thick, suf ficient to bear a heavy man, before they will accept as truth the in credible and ridiculous statement published today. A. P. Reader.” * * * DEFENSE—This reader, Mr. A. P. Reader must have celebrated his Fourth of July by composing his message. It was welcome and ATCF hopes he writes more even though he keeps his identity. But this column wishes to im press upon him the fact that C. D. Maffitt made the statement about the Cape Fear being frozen over. Maffitt said he remembered the time when he walked over it himself_ Perhaps A. P. Reader isn’t as old as Maffitt. Evidently Reader doesn’t have any verifi cation that the river didn’t freeze over enough to support Maffitt. If he had he undoubtedly would have sent it along with his card.

However, New Hanovar and Pender county authorities have not been notified that any person or persons are missing. Leon Lee and Roland Watts, Spofford Mill workers, told the Star last night that while they were fishing on a shoal near the Inlet Monday m-ornlng they sighted a small white boat that contained “one man for sure and maybe two’’ in the inlet. “The boat was bobbing in the water and someone on board was waving a lantern, possibly ti j ing to send some kind of distress sig nal,” Lee said. The mill worker said that he and Watts noticed the small white boat in the inlet and said that it kept going further out into the inlet. “When it reached the break See TWO MEN on Page Two DR.

Congressman C1 a rife Says Necessary Money To Be Provided Morning Star Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, July 7 — Funds to complete the dredging of the Cape Fear river at Wilmington, to a depth of 32 feet and a width of 400, will be provided by con gress, “as needed,’’ Rep. J. Bay ard Clark ol Fayetteville, has been assured by high-ranking members of the house appropria tions committee. For this reason, the senate probably will not be asked to in crease the $100,000 provided for tire Cape Fear project in the war department civil functions bill which the house passed last week. Senate hearings will begin Wed nesday. Although the house voted only one-third of the $300,000 requested by the Army engineers for carry ing on the Wilmington work in the new fiscal year, Clark believes the $100,000 plus a carry-over of $275,000 will be enough to keep the project going until January. May Get More Then the engineers can ask ad ditional money in a deficiency bill to tide them over until July 1, when they will get their appro priation for the following fiscal year. There is a possibility that the full amount remaining will be granted then, so that the project can be finished in 1949. Of the total estimated cost, $4, 609,500, congress has voted $3,044, 500. With the pending $100,000 add ed in $1,465,000 would remain to be appropriated tor the comple tion of the work. It calls for not only improving the present cnanned, SO feet deep and 300 feet wide, but also for deepening the Northeast river See PROJECT On Page Two 23 KILLED, MANY INJURED IN RIOT Hindu-Moslem Clashes In Calcutta Most Violent In Seyeral Months LONDON, July 7. —(U.R)— Daily Telegraph Calcutta dispatches re ported tonight that 23 persons were known killed and 168 wounded to day in the most violent Hindu-Mos lem riots in months and that cas ualties were still pouring into hos pitals. Eioting started when Moslems marched through the streets carry ing the body of a Moslem police of ficer slain by a Hindu gunman Sun day night. Police dispersed the procession with tear gas and shots when riot ing started, the dispatch said, but by that time fighting had spread over an area too wide to control. Street cars were stopped and passengers dragged out and beat en, the dispatch said. The cars were set afire. A curfew was imposed tonight, the dispatch said, and British troops were de+ailed to search pe destrians for weapons. Lawyer’s Bad Doggerel Gets Under Judge’s Skin LOS ANGELES, July 7- -(U.R)—A judge rules today on an attorney’s plea—in rhyme—for a writ of ha beas corpus to reunite a 16-year old bride with her husband. Superior Judge Stanley Mosk said he didn’t like *he poetry, but said that wouldn’t have any effect on his decision. Attorney David Marcus, repre senting Robert Ramos, 21, com plained that Ramos’ mother-in law, Mrs. Rafaella Nunez, held Ramos' bride, Florence, incom municado, when the newlyweds returned several weeks ago for a W reception after their elopement to Yuma, Ariz. “The parents have vowed they’ll remain far apart, “Their future destroyed by a much broken heart.” He asked the judge to decide: "That his bride be returned without blemish or flaw; “Her restraint is illegal and vi olates law.” Said the judge: "I was tempted to turn down the petition, not because of legal points, but becauso Jt’» bad dog gerel.” NURSES RECEIVE DIPLOMAS, PINS Twenty-Five Graduates Of Janies Walker School Hear Timely Address Twenty-five nurses of the James Walker Memorial hospital School of Nursing last night received diplomas and heard Miss Florence K. Wilson, dean of nursing, Duke University, graduation speaker, cite the needs of nursing in the state. John W. Rankin, superintendent of the hospital, presided at the ceremonies at New Hanover High school and introduced the speaker, who asked the students to look back to the time they entered the nursing school and recall the en thusiam they had. “You can’t serve humanity through any better cause than through nursing,” she told the class which was divided into two groups—those who finished the school last winter and those who will finish in September. She told of the commission to study health needs in the state and said there were indications that there will be a great irryietus to nursing within the next few years.

Hie Stern gang, underground Jewish resistance organization, sent a letter to the U. N. Come mittee Sunday asking it to inter vene in behalf of the girl messen gers. Official sources said a state ment would be made tomorrow when the girls ere released and added the situation was “embar rassing to the government.” Jewish Boy Held Meanwhile, the Jewish agency issued a declaration which said that a 16-year-old Jewish boy, Al exander Rubowitz, who disappear ed May 6, “was kidnapped from the street by a group of British police in civilian clothes and ap pears to have taken to an isolated spot outside the city and tortured to death.” In a memorandum to the U.

Miners Await Official Word Pits To Resume Operations Early Wednesday After Signing Ceremony WASHINGTON, July 7—(/P)—Th« United Mine Workers 200-man pol icy committee tonight ratified terms of a new national wage con tract and voted to return to work after the pact is officially signed tomorrow. The ceremonies will take place at the union headquarters tomor row at 10 a.m., a spokesman for the United Mine Workers told re porters after a 90-minute meeting of the policy committee. The use of the word “national" contract was explained by the spokesman as meaning that this is a nationwide contract and that before any operator in any sec tion of the country can expect union members to work his mines, he must accept the terms of the national contract. me contract was executed by representatives of the Northern and steel company operators and the union spokesman said the terms of this contract could ba accepted by any other association, or individual operators who wished to meet it. Southern producers were sche duled to meet at 10 a.m. tomorrow to go over the Northern-steel con tract. Southern and Midwest operators were reported ready to come to terms. The far Western represen tatives left town last week after the top industrialists of the steel and Northern commercial inter ests had negotiated a tentative agreement with John L. Lewis’ union. They left town without telling what their position would be. The UMW spokesman said that at the policy committee session Lewis was frequently applauded for negotiating what he called this most beneficial of all miners’ con tracts. The spokeman added: “The policy committee by una nimous vote has approved the na tional bituminous wage contract and authorized its execution. The representatives of the union and operators will meet at 10 a.m. July 8 to officially sign the agreement. “When the contract is officially signed miners employed in mines covered by the contract will be no tified to resume work immediate ly.” This virtually precluded full scale resumption of operations in the union’s bituminous mines at least until Wednesday morning. One Day Delay The miners are on a ten-day vacation which ends at midnight tonight but the policy committee’s action specifically stated that work would not resume until the agree ment was signed and sealed. Industry representatives laid that Lewis won his fight to have included in the contract a clause that the miners would work when “wilUflg and able.” He sought this protection against Taft-Hartley labor bill provisions calling for penalties against un authorized strikes. These same sources told newa See MINERS On Page Twa CUSTOMSFIGURES ' DOUBLE FOR CITY Port Of Wilmington Shows Over 100 Per Cent In crease Last Year The customs receipts In the itate ports duri.ig the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947 showed an increase of approximately 20 per cent over those of the previous year, ac cording to local customs officials The port of Wilmington had an increase of over 100 per cent dur ing the last year, the record shows. E. C. Snead, assistant collector of customs, said that the increase was the “result of the resumpt on of pre-war business”. The mer chant ships which came into port here regularly before the war are beginning to resume the'r trade, he said, and therefore, the in crease in customs receipts does not indicate new business. Total receipts for the year Just ending were $12,240,426; while those of last year amounted to $9,683,593.26. Receipts for Wilmington during the last fiscal year totaled $264, 190.27; while those of the previous year amounted to $100,797.20. And So To Bed The flying saucers aren’t what they used to be. For the information of one and all concerned, the two na tional press services — Asso ciated Press and L'ni.ed Press —issued a statement to their bureaus last night to take the flying missiles lightly. That is, go easy on the stories. So from here on out—authen tic proof must be presented in order to get such a story printed. > ■
