Ernest Wiedenmann’s Church Divided Over KKK At Service — MIAMI Fla., July 20 — (JP) — The Rtv. Ernest L. Wiedenmann, I s congregation divided because of a memorial service attended by robed members of the Ku Klux Klan, today held open air serv ices on a parking lot after being ruled out of his church by court older. A temporary injunction obtained by dissident members ot ihe con gregation from Circuit Judge George E. Holt prevented the min ister from conducting services in St. Paul’s Evangelical church. A plan to use a funeral home chapel was called off at 11 o'clock last night by the funeral director. The Rev. Widenmann called 30 members of his flock together on a parking lot belonging to a bar owner, Jimmie Cornick, in the 3600 block of Tamiami Trail. A rain storm ended a<* services began. Rev. Wiedenmann told the As sociated Press that he as not a member of the Ku Klux Klan and that his only interest in the me morial service attended by Klans men June 15 was “to save souls.” “I came here from Chicago 11 years ago,” he said. “Perhaps there is a Southern reaction which I would better understand if I were Southern born. I saw only human beings in search of God.” He refused testimony given dur ing the court hearing that he had resigned in 1938 from the Evange lical Lutheran church and was not "°w an ordained minister. "I had a difference, with the church over missionary matters end withd rew my papers in good order,” he said. “I can present my papers, still in good order, meantime remaining an ordained minister.” He said all this will be brought ont in court when a hearing iff held to make the temporary in junction permanent.

Fla., July 20 —<U.R) —Worried tourist officials and com mercial fishermen on the Florida Gulf coast today were advised by University of Miami scientists that there probably is no man-made defense against the mysterious '“red tide” which three times has coated white sand beaches with millions of dead fish. In addition to hurting the tourist trade and the multi-million dollar commercial fisning industry, the smelly debris left in wake of the tide presents an expensive dispos al project. Sarasota was the latest city to finish olowing under mil lions of dead fisn after the latest outbreak. And the “tide” in its three oc currences, appears to be moving Northward along the coast—with St. Petersburg, Tampa and Clear water directly in its path. The phenomenon last winter piled the beaches for miles around Fort Myers with a three-foot wide ribbon of dead fish. As the fish decayed, residents in the area bombarded the .state and federal governments with requests tor ac tion. Incomes Cut Commercial nsnermen esti mated their incomes had been cat from 30 to 70 per cent. They speculated that dumping of war surplus material in the gulf, wartime bombings, or rust ing hulks of sunken ships had poisoned the gulf, creating what they called a “red tide” that kill ed fish. Tlie University of Miami marine laboratory, directed by Dr. F. G. Walton Smith, began a painstak ing investigation ot the mystery. The scientists analyzed hundreds of samples of sea water, perform ed autopsies on the fish and searched for the “red tide” by p’ane and boat. Two reappear ances of the pnenomenon, one m April around Fort Myers, and the last around Sarasota three weeks ago, aided their efforts. “We’re pretty certain that a micro-organism called ‘Dino Flag ellate’ is the killer,” said Dr. Gordon Gunter, chief fisheries technologist. “But the cause be See RED TIDE on Page Two CRIMINALCOURT WILL OPEN TODAY Trial Of ‘Cat Man’, Gause Murder Case Tops List For Jury Action Criminal term or New Hanover county Superior Court for July gets under way this morning with Judge Leo Carr presiding.

Britain Sends Jew^%S'te A. 40^ternment Ci —iges Policy On Pal estine Infiltration JERUSALEM, Palestine. July !G —(U.R)—Some 4,500 Jewish refu gees seized aboard the President Warfield off Palestine last Friday are being returned to France in i major change of British policy, [' was reported today. Previously the British deported ali illegal immigrants to Cyprus tc await legal entry into Pales tine under the regular quota of 1,500 a month. Cyprus internment ramps contained 10,000 illegal im migrants at the last published re port. While not confirmed, reports reaching Jerusalem said the War field immigrants would be return ed to their port of embarkation. This was identified by British re ports as Sete. on the French Medi terranean coast. The Warfield was said to have left Sete on July 10. Seized Friday, the refugees were taken out of Haifa harbor early Saturday on three British trans ports. Ships Unrcparted Reports irom Jtamagusia on Cyprus said the three deportation ships had been expected to arrive from Haifa at 5 am. Sunday but had not appeared up to 2 p.m., nine hours later. British authori ties at Famagusta were unable to explain the delay. (A Colonial office spokesman in London would neither confirm nor deny that the immigrants were be ing returned to France. Answering newsmen who commented that the Famagusta report indicated they were being sent elsewhere, the spokesman said “that’s a very good deduction.”) Continuous attacks against the British for deportation of the refu gees, and for the battle at sea in which three aboard the War field were killed, swept through the Holy Land for the second day. One British constable was shot and killed, another wounded and three soldiers injured by a mine yesterday. Another British soldier was kill ed and a second wounded today when a land mine blew up their ttuck near Raanana. 10 miles South of Natanya. The township of Natanya meanwhile remained under martial law, completely cut off from the rest of the world for the sixth day, but there still was no clue to the whereabouts of two British soldiers kidnapped there last week. British authorities today clamp eo down a dusk-to-o'awn curfew on the Mount Carmel Jewish section of Haifa, where the two constables were shot yesterday.

M. Conway, live stock market analyst, said today. Conway, writing his monthly livestock review in. the National Live Stock Producer, said impor tant adjustments must be made in production and feeding pro grams in view of the unfavorable outlook for this year’s corn crop.

Has 27 W ashingtons^ 3 Lincolns, Many Creeks BY ARTHUR EDSON^ Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Juiy 20 —M — What this country needs is a little more originality in naming places. There are, for example, 26 other Washingtons, 26 Manchesters and 23 Lincolns. Fortunately, there is only one Zylks, down in Louisiana. bu<. there are two Aids. (The recoid doesn't show whether the Ohio Aid or the Missouri Aid was the first aid). Furthermore, one Oregon coun ty has 31 Cedar Creeks, and there are innumerable Cottonwood Creeks and Mud Lakes. All this is enough to drive a body mad. Especially if that body is Meredith Burrill, director of the U. S. Board of Geographical names. Burrill’s job is to give the cor rect spelling for any geographical name used by the federal govern ment. And not only is the job complicated by duplicating names, but many spots have two names. “There's a fairly well known See U.S. mi Page Two _ _ _— — — --——— Dutch Launch Military Operation Against Indonesian Republicans; U. S. Fears Marshall Plan Split West Nations Are At Odds France, England Offer Threat To Full Accord On Aid Program WASHINGTON. July 20 —(.U.R) — American foreign policy makers, who a week ago were worried piimarily about the split between East and West, searched today for a formula on #ie “Marshall plan” which will prevent a split among the Western nations themselves. France has served notice that she can not go along with the “Marshall plan” if it involves re building Germany without satisfy ing French security demands — separation of the Rhineland from Germany and internationalization of the Ruhr. Since the West decided to pro ceed with the economic recovery program without Russia and East ern Europe, increasingly difficult obstacles have divided the West ern nations and plans for a speedy gc-ahead have been in a. taUspin for several days. The major difficulty is Germany —and the future of its industrial potential. The Western Europeans are nearly as widely split on that is sue as the West as a whole isv split with the East on general rehabilitation plans. It can be revealed authoritative ly today that there is far from unanimous agreement within the U. S. government over how fast Germany should be allowed to re build industrially. The trend for a year has been toward revival of a strong Germany with appropri ate safeguards against resurgent militarism. It also can be disclosed that va rious studies within the adminis tration are being made, some of which will caution Secretary of State George C. Marshall against taking the lid o'f in Germany — either for reparations payments or for giving priority to German reconstruction over other Euro pean countries in the “Marshall plan.” Marshall himself may review the situation tomorrow when he gives the House Foreign Affairs See WESTERN Oil Page Two LEAF CO-OP PLANS WIDER OPERATION Stabilization Corporation Will Enter Georgia Florida Market RALEIGH, July 20 —If— The Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabilization corporation, which operated last year on tobacco markets of Virginia, North and South Carolina, has completed plans to extend its operations to Georgian and F'orida markets, L. T. Weeks, secretary-treasurer, an nounced today. Weeks said that the cooperative would pay an average of 4C cents a pound for tied tobacco turned over to it this season compared with 32.1 last season. The 40-cent figure is 90 per cent of parity as of June 15. The average for un tied tobacco will be 36 cents per pound. The tobacco cooperative buys tobacco from its stockholders when they are dissatisfied with bids they receive for their leaf on warehouse floors, and Weeks said that it had received satisfactory prices for several millions pounds cf tobacco it purchased last sea son. Weeks said that the cooperative, which has headquarters here, will open a branch office at.Valdosta, Ga., to handle its Georgia-Florida business.

Davis, 68, said today he wasn’t surprised when police found more than $20,000 in bonds and cash in his junk-littered home. “I knew it was there all the time,” he said. “I just didn’t know how much there was.” Police who were searching the house, jammed to the ceilings with junk, said they didn’t know either. They expected to find more money. Davis, described by police as an eccentric and frequently accepted handouts of food from hospitals here, was more troubled about three cans of paint he had “misplaced” than he was about money. “I left that paint somewhere around the house,” he told police. “I hope you can find it, please. I want to paint the " house.

One of these is the landing for the ferry that used to connect Market Street and the highway across the river in Brunswick County. Another is an old iron pole, part of the structure of the postoffice when that government building was at the corner of Second and Chestnut streets. * * * FERRY LANDING — The old ferry landing, complete with slip and draw over which the vehicles drove to get from shore to the vessel, is on the western side of the river. The slip at the foot of Markgt is almost obliterated and few of the workings of the ferry are visible. While on the other side of the river almost the only thing lack ing is the ferry boat, and a few boards on the draw. Some rust has discolored the cables and counterweights of the draw, which was let down on het boat when it landed to bridge the slight gap between the road and the ferry. But the hustle and bustle is gone. * * + IKON POLK — The old iron pole mentioned afore, was probably a favorite device for match-strikers and leaners when the postoffice was at Second and Chestnut, across the street from where the Cape Fear hotel now stands. When the postoffice was torn down and moved to its present location some 50 or 60 years ago, the old pole vanished. But it is still standing today, doing its duty, holding up the sec ond floor of a bulding. Carl Rehder, who remembers when he used to get one cent from his daddy for running an errand to the postoffice, is sure that same pole is now part of the New York Cafe structure.
