House Speaker Martin (R-Mass.) jp Hie plea in a radio broad B1i- asserting that the issue is whether the President or Congress * jo control the nation’s purse strings He spoke after the Finance com jttee* acting in less than an hour, looroved the House-passed bill ]0.j and headed it for the Sen ,.e where its path to passage ap peared clear. Even opponents conceded that the only questions with regard to sage are the size of the vote and how long it will take but they vere by no means so sure of what would happen if President Truman ihouki veto the bill as he did a similar one on June 16. The only deference in the new measure is that it is effective Jan. 1 instead * July i Martin Argument Martin based his argument on till point: "The strength of the House of Representatives and of the whole Congress has always been in its lontrol of the purse strings. It is necessary for the 80th Congress to protect this prerogative so the checks and balances in govern ment may be maintained, as they were intended by the founding lathers to be maintained under cur constitution.” Martin asserted that “for the past 14 years, there has been a concerted drive to break down the authority of the legislative branch U the government over the ex penditure of public funds.” Morover, he declared “there has tlso been a concerted drive dur ing all that time to destroy pub lic confidence in the Congress.” He saw in this an effort toward i dictatorship and added: Create Resentment “Neither dare we forget that the subversionists in this country will, if possible, try to create re sentment through heavy taxation end high prices. “These subversionists hope by such tactics to stand a chance, In event of a sharp recession in busines, o.- a depression, of over throwing our form of government •nd stepping in 'with some sort if distaiorship.” Martin concluded: “I hope you will let members •f Congress on both aides of the iapitol know' how you feel about domestic affairs on a sound basis.” GOVERNOR NAMES RENT COMMITTEE Five Wilmingtonians Se lected For Service On Board For City John R.

Lewis might face criminal charges carrying a maximum penalty of $10,000 fine and one year imprison ment. In a speech to the House, Hart ley said the agreement between Lewis and the mine operators “contain at least one clear vio lation of the labor law so recently enacted.” Hartley is co-author of the Taft Hartley Labor-Management act en acted over President Truman’s veto. More than 90 percent of the soft coal operators already have sign ed new contracts in the last two days with Lewis—the agreement calling for board concessions on part of the owners to the United Mine Workers. Southerners Bow Southern coal producers were the latset to announce their capitu lation to Lewis’ demands. Hartley said the new law “for bids the payment of money or any other thing of value to the repre sentatives of employes, with cer tain specific exceptions.” Among the exceptions, he ex plained, the law permits the check off or deduction from wages for union membership dues. But the new Lewis agreement provides not only for membership dues but “for initiation fees and assessments of the United Mine Workers,” Hartley stated. “Since this is a criminal pro vision, which the courts generally construe literally,” he added, “it appears obvious that any mint operators signing this agreement, have, by the terms of the agree ment, agreed to pay money for an illegal reason.” The law does not permit a check off for anything except union dues, Hartley said. Hartley continued: “In my opinion, this agreement clearly reflects collusion between the mine operators and the United Mine workers with the intention of violating the law. “For example, the contract covers the employment of miners only during the time ‘as such per sons are able and willing to work.’ The law meant for labor unions to become responsive organiza tions. “Secondly, the mine operators have thrown away the legal pro tections given them by the law. This agreement provides ‘that any and all disputes, stoppages, sus pensions of work and any and See HARTLEY On Page Two LONG CREEK FFA TEAM WINS CASH Pender County Group Car ries Off Second Honors In Cattle Judging RALEIGH, July 9— (A*}—Nearly $8,000 in prizes was awarded to night at the 19th annual state con vention of the Future Farmers of America.

CITIZENS TO GET HEARING ON LANE Mayor White Announces Plan For Opening Meeting On Truck Artery An open meeting at which re presentatives from all city organ izations and citizens as individuals will be invited 1o participate will be conducted on the proposed truck routes through Wilmington. That was announced yesterday by Mayor E. L. White as further steps were taken to solve the prob lem which first was brought be fore the city council eight years ago. Mayor White told a group of rep resentatives of the Third Street Improvement association who call ed upon the council at its regular meeting that speedy action is con templated.

July 9— MP) — Senator Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) told the Senate today that two souvenir-hunting soldiers surrepti tiously removed “certain impor tant documents” from atomic en ergy files at Los Alamos, N. M.. in March, 1946, but that FBI agents recovered the papers. So far as he knows no damage was done to the security of the atomic secrets, said Hickenlooper, who is chairman of the Senate House Atomic • Energy committe. He said the secret data were taken from the Los Alamos test ing station hy two former Army sergeants before their demobiliza tion. He described them as “sou venir hunters.” The Department of justice still has the • case under consideration, Hickenlooper reported, but he told his colleagues: “So far as I know, no effective breach of -security. . .• was ac complished. “The decuments were, as we believe, completely and fully re covered. The -individuals did not allow unauthorized persons to have any access to these docu ments, and we have no present information that any unauthoriz ed persons did in fact see the documents other than the two Army sergeants.” Browsing Bossy Besieged By Battling Bee Brigade SOUTHPORT, July 9, - Two col mes of angry bees, whose homes had been upset, sent a Brunswick county woman to the hospital for theatment this week. In addition, the cow that caused the upset was stung almost to death. The animal had been staked out or the Robert McRackan farm, three miles above Southport on the river road. A long line or rope permitted her to get around ..c behives and incidently aro nd a tree that shortened her field oi activities. The behives were over turned and their angry occupants swarmed over the cow, stinging it so badly that it just lay down on the ground and was taking it. Her attention attracted, Mrs. Reece, owner of the cow, rushed up and tried to pull the halter from the head of the animal to liberate it. The bees turned their attention to the lady and she fled, collapsing from the pain of nu merous stings after she got a short distance away. Meanwhile a larm truck was backed down to windward of the cow. By feeding the engine a rich mixture a smoke screen was produced and this held the bees back until the cow could be rea died.

ENGINEERS DEFER SENCBA ACTION Club Refers Matter Of Fund Endorsement To Board Of Directors With four dissenting votes, mem bers of the Wilmington Engineers club last night voted to refer to the board of directors the matter of the club’s endorsing the Southeast ern North Carolina Beach Associ ation’s request for financial aid from the city and county. The request for the organiza tion’s support was presented to club members at their dinner meeting last night in the Friendly cafeteria with the suggestion that no action be taken as the ngineers club is “not a civic club.” McKeen Maffitt, principal sup porter of SENCBA, termed the beach association “one of the thinking organizations in the com munity” and suggested that the engineers ask the two governing boards to give the matter “serious consideration.” His motion that the matter be turned over to the board of directors, with the power to act and with the recommenda tion that they give it “serious consideration,” was passed. Not Civic ciud Dissenters contended that the club was “a group of engineers and not a civic club” interested in promoting the area. Another ob jected on the grounds that taxes should not pay for prizes in a fishing rodeo. Paul W. Lyman, Raleigh, presi dent of the North Carolina Society of Engineers, spoke to the group briefly on the advantages of engi neers over the state being mem bers of the state society. He paid tribute to the work and activities of the local club and to T. J. Hewett, past state president and Hamilton Hicks, present member of the state board of directors. Lyman also gave a resume of the events planned for the state convention which is to be held in Asheville, September 4-6. “Singing Wires,” a human in terest movie depicting the story of modernization of a farm and farm home was shown. The film, made by the “Farm Journal,” tells the story of the changes in farm opera tion and in the lives of farm fami lies after electricity is installed to do the hard work. Wives Are Guests Wives of the members of the club were guests at the meeting and other special guests were Mrs. Lyman Leroy Keever, secretary of the state society, Mrs. Keever, Col. B. C. Snow, Wilmington Dis trict Engineer, and Mrs. Snow. Cecil Matthes, president, was in charge of the gavel. At next ■ month’s meeting club members will discuss the awards that they will offer for students at New Hanoverd High school next year. Each year the Engineers club offers awards to local stu dents for special projects or ac complishments in the scientific or engineering field._ Identification Office Will Be Transferred From Courthouse Removal of the identification bureau from the courthouse to the city hall basement and the addi tion of further women to the de partment were two outstanding proposals suggested in the Roy Morgan report on the recently conducted survey of the Wilming ton police department. But what the report is costing the , city remained a mystery. Questions directed to City Mana ger J. R. Benson by councilmen brought the response that there will be “no set fee and will cost the city a very nominal sum as it is not the work of a profes sional firm.” The council approved the ac ceptance of the report which means the identif'cation bureau will be moved “immediately to the basement of the city hall tak ing over the quarters now occu pied by the tax office. Where the tax office will be moved was not decided. Report Accepted The removal of the bureau was by the city council in accepting the report on the recent survey of the police department by Roy Morgan, Greensboro attorney and former FBI agent. However, approval on the re moval must be made by the coun ty commissioners. Two or three more women will be employed by the department for office work releasing men now in clerical duties for more active duty, Benson explained. The aim of placing the city county identification bureau in the city hall is to make it more aic cessable to police and would al low it to operate on a 24-hour ba sis. The entire city hall basement, See DADS on Page Two PRESIDENT URGED TO TOUR NATION National Committeemen Proposes Political Swing Before Campaign WASHINGTON, July 9 — (iT*)— President Truman is being urged by officers of the Democratic Na tional committee to make a na tionwide tour around Labor Day as a preliminary to the 1948 elec tion campaign, but has made no commitment. Party leaders made this known today coincident with a visit to the White House of members o* the national committee and state Chairmen from six Southern states —Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. They said the suggestion for a cross-country swing did not come up today, but had been broached to the Chief Executive several times over the past several weeks. The President, however, did re ceive an invitation to visit Texas from Myron G. Blalock, Demo cratic national committeeman from that state. He responded only with asmile and a thank you to Blalock’s statement that "most Texans’’ would like to see and hear him in person from the pro verbial rear platform.

Stray horn. Strayhorn, who lives at 20OA Jackson Circle, writes that his aunt, Mrs. Arthur H. Williams of Wilmington, sends him the arti cles about Along the Cape Fear and he saves them all. “The history of the Cape Fear and all of North Carolina has been neglected much too long. It is most unusual how the state’s his tory has been overlooked,” the reader writes. With his comment about the column comes a suggestion that an article be written about the little train which ran at Carolina Beach years ago. He noted that his uncle, A. W. Pate, owned the train at the time and would be able to shed some light on it as he still lives at the Greystone Inn. * * * CONTACT MADE — ATCF con tacted the Greystone Inn but found that A. W. Pate was in Florence, S. C., being affiliated with a chain of hotels. His son, A. A. Pate, however, remembers the little train which shunted over Its three and a half miles of track between Carolina Beach and the Cape Fear River. With the help of his mother, who corrected hini on some of the details of the train’s career, Pate recalled how the train met Cap tain John Harpr’s steamboat, the “Wilmington” at the dock on the Cape Fear. Passengers transferred from the boat to the train and journey ed to the beach. The railroad was constructed in 1900 by Captain Harper and was purchased in 1913 by A. W. Pate. » » » EXISTENCE—The train ran un til 1917 when the elder Pate, m cooperation with the county, con structed a road from Wilmington to the beach. Up until that time the steamer and train combina tion was the only way anyone could get to Carolina. The train, often called, “The Sand Flitter,” went out of busi ness with the completion of the road. While it has been called many names, indicative of its size, it was really a standard guage track. It had six cars and the locomotive was about the size of See CAPE FEAR On Page Tw» | CHICAGO airlines agent Rose mary Hammerer, who believes that hats should be topical not practical, is shown wearing the “flying saucer hat’’ which she de signed herself.

COUNCIL DEFERS FRANCHISE ACTION Opinion By Attorney Gen eral To Be Asked On Safeway Agreement Wilmington’s city council yes terday deferred any action on granting a franchise to the Safe way Transit company for opera tion of its line on the munici pality's streets. Likewise, the previously discus sed question of the abolition or continuance of transfers by the company ran into a deadend as far as the council was concerned. a resolution was introduced Dy City Manager J. R. Benson grant ing the transit firm a franchise. A motion made by Councilman Ronald Lane to grant the fran chise was deferred until the next council meeting after considerable discussion in which the main ob jection centered around the fee that the company pays to the city for the privilege of use of the streets. The matter, councilmen decided, will be sent to the state's At torney-General for an opinion on what legally can be collected. City Manager J. R. Benson said the fee had been $2.00 quarterly or annually” set by state law. Lane proposed a 25-year fran chise be granted the company. Councilman J. E. L. Wade op posed the franchise on the ground that Wilmington in such a period of time might grow considerably. Wade also pointed out that the revenue to the city might not be adequate later. The city manager explained that the matter evidently goes to the public utilities commission which has the.final say and can reguiate the situation. The resolution introduced, speci fied that if the utilities commis sion eliminates transfers, the city council would not oppose that group’s action. SENATORS WOULD REORGANIZE UN If Necessary, Russia Would Be Left Out Of Re vamped Setup WASHINGTON, July 9—WP>—1Ten senators proposed today that the United Nations be revamped — possibly without Russia as a member. One of these senators and two others promptly topped this with an even stronger proposal to clothe the U.N. with world gov ernment authority to enact, inter pret and enforce laws to keep the peace. The proposal for U.N. reorgan ization was made in the form of a resolution calling for a charter conference “to propose and adopt amendments and revisions that will strengthen the United Nations as an instrument to prevent war and maintain world peace."_ Chaining Daughter Costs Part-Time Preacher $50 KNOXVILLE, Term., July 9—(U.R) —William Massengill, 50, part time preacher and paper-hanger, who whipped his pretty 16-year old daughter Geraldine and chain ed her to a bedpost last week to “keep her away from sin,” paid a $50 fine in Domest:- T,°i-“"ur court today and agreed to let Ju venile court officers have us..;.. of Geraldine.

SUCCESSION BILL OKAY DUE TODAY Measure Makes Speaker Martin Next In Line For U. S. Presidency WASHINGTON, July, 9—(JP)—A bill which would make House Speaker Joseph W. Martin, Mass achusetts Republican, the next in line for the Presidency, may be up for final passage tomorrow. House Republican leaders had their hope of sending the bill t'o President Truman tonight, but action was blocked because the formal printed report of the House Judiciary commitle on it was not ready. 'Ihe Senate has passed the bill and the President twice has re quested its approval. It would de signate the speaker as heirappar event of a vacancy in the Pres idency and vice presidency. SPEAKER Martin told newsmen the .legislation probably will be acted on tomorrow. Normally the house does not consider bills until the members have available printed reports ex plaining the legislation. The Ju diciary committe, which approved the bill yesterday, is expected to have its report ready tomorrow. The legislation wuold give the speaker priority for the success ion ahead of cabinet officers, who now rank directly behind the Vice president. It provides that whenever there are simultaneous vacancies in the offices of President and vice Pres ident, the speaker, if qualified, shall become President and serve out the remaining part of the un expired term. Should the speaker die or be removed from his office as President, his successor as speaker would move into the White House. Should the speaker be unable to qualify, or if the speakership should be vacant at the time, the Preside! of the Senate would move into the White House.

Under Bill, All Land, Sea, Air Forces To Be Under One Officer WASHINGTON, July 9 — (AP) — The Senate stamped its approval tonight upon a permanent unification of the Army, Navy and Air Forces. The compromise measure—de* veloped after repeated requests by President Truman during the past two years—now goes to the House where Republican leaders have it on their “must list”. The Senate passed the bill on a voice vote after rejecting a series of amendments by Senator E. V. Robertson (R-Wyo.), who with some support from Navy and Ma rine Corps enthusiasts, had been battling the measure. Chairman Gurney (R-SD) of the Senate Armed Services committee and other supporters said the far reaching revision of the armed forces is necessary to save the United States from destruction when and if a future war strikes. Single Office Under the bill, called “t}ie na tional defense act of 1947,” all land, sea and air forces would ba placed under a single cabinet offi cer, the secretary of national se curity. The Air forces would ba raised to co-equal status with the Aimy and Navy.

If two-thirds of the growers ap prove, a special assessment of ten cents an acre would be levied on them to finance the program, de signed to maintain and promote exports, which now account for approximately 40 per cent of the income from flue-cured tobacco. The program would be adminis tered by tobacco associates, a non profit organization representing growers and allied interests. Presi dent of the organization is J. B. Hutson, former under secretary of agriculture and more lately execu tive officer of the United Nations. The referendum was authorized by a special act of the North Caro lina General assembly. Producers in the South Carolina producing area also will vote on the pro gram, a similar referendum having been authorized by the legisla ture of that state. McMillan Urges Vote Representative John L.
