Anti-Trust Counts
Face Tire Builders
Nineteen Manufacturers Charged With 12
Year-Old Conspiracy To Fix Prices And
Limit Productions; Other Suits Filed
NEW YORK, Aug. 18—(JP)—The Federal government,
charging a 12-year-old conspiracy to fix tire prices and limit
production, filed a criminal information today against 19
defendants including the nation’s principal tire manufactur
ers.
The information, filed in Federal district court by the
Justice Department’s anti-trust division, said the defend
ants eliminated price competition by agreeing “on prices,
discounts, allowances, bonuses, classification of customers,
uniform warranties, guarantees and adjustment policies, al
location of sales to state, county and municipal government
agencies.
Officials of several of the de
fendant firms quickly denied the
government allegations and de
clared they would contest the suit
vigorously
The alleged conspiracy to fix
prices began in May, 1935, the in
formation stated. One of the de
fendants, the Rubber Manufactur
ers Coro., Inc., of New York, is
t tire manufacturers’ trade asso
ciation which, the information
said,, was maintained “as a means
by which the prices of tires and
tubes were fixed.’’
The association said its files on
tires were subpoenaed by the jus
tice department more than a year
ago, but declined comment on the
Anti-Trust suit.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, an
0ther anti-trust suit was filed
charging a conspiracy in produc
tion of color motion pictures, with
Technicolor Motion Picture Corp.
and Eastman Kodak Cc. named as
defendants.
William C. Dickson, Chief of the
West Coast Anti-Trust division,
said that if the government won
the civil action, it “should make

Catastrophic Explosion In

MADRID, Spain, Tuesday, Aug.
19. —(U.R)— A catastrophic explosion
in a naval arsenal near the great
south Spanish port of Cadiz last
night sent fires racing through the
city and caused a mass exodus of
its population.
Early today, all roads leading
out of Cadiz were jammed by peo
ple fleeing the city. Only doctors
and nurses, answering urgent ap
peals for aid, were allowed to en

The explosion, at 9:30 p. m., shat

shook cities 60 miles away like a

Reports from Seville, 60 miles

MAN HAS UNIQUE
SYSTEM TO BEAT
STATE SALES TAX
PAGELAND, S. C.. Aug. 18—OP)
—Mott V. Funderburk of the Liber
ty gili section of South Carolina,
whose home is about 75 feet from
the North Carolina line, over which
his lands extends, has a unique
system to beat sales taxes in the
two states at his grocery store and
filling station.
When North Carolina enacted the
three per cent sales tax in 1933,
he moved his grocery store over
to the South Carolina line.
Then he built, right next to it,
but in North Carolina, a separate
store for selling cigarettes and
soft drinks. That beats the South
Carolina tax on these products.
The slight opening between the
buildings, just enough for a cat
to crawl through, is right on the
line between the states.

Six Reported Living With
Negro Given 24-Hour
Ultimatum
COLUMBIA, N. C„ Aug 18—(U.R>—
Sheriff Ray Cahoon said today that
a group of 200 or more white men
had ordered six young white per
sons residing with a Negro to
leave town.
Cahoon said the group, which
presented its demand last Monday,
was orderly and that he did not
believe any were armed. He said
the whites, including the wife of
one, had complied with a 24-hour
ultimatum to leave Columbia.
“I don’t know of any law pre
venting white folks from living
with Negroes but I do know peo
ple here don’t think mpch of it.”
He said.
He said the young whites, col
lege students and recent gradua
tes, were working on a credi'; union
project. The Union, the ‘‘Light of
Tyrrell,” had raised $35,000 from
Negroes to purchase land which
was re-sold to small-scale Negro
farmers. Columbia is In Tyrrell
county.
Cahoon said the whites had lived
in the home of S. P. Dean, for
mer principal of the Columbia
Negro high school.
In Raleigh, D. R. Graham, Sup
erintendent of the credit union div
ision of the State Department of
Agriculture, said that the students

Baby’s Body Found
Here In Bus Depot
Infant Thought To Have
Been Dead More Than
A Day When Found
Police last night pulled from a
locker in the Negro waiting room
in the bus depot a dead white baby
girl giving officers one of their
most baffling mysteries to solve
in many months.
Wrapped in a sheet which in
turn had been tied in brown wrap
ping paper, the body was dis
covered shortly after P p. m., when
persons in the waiting room were
attracted by the odor and reported
the matter to bus station attend
ants.
They in turn called police who
traced the odor to the locker and
broke in to find the body.
An examination of the body
made at the Andrews mortuary
by Dr. A. H. Elliot, city-county
health officer, and Coroner Gor
don Doran, revealed that the in
fant was one to three days old
when it died and that it had been
dead 24 to 36 hours.
Dr. Elliott said he was unable
to ascertain the cause of death
but he believed the infant was
dead when it was placed in the
locker. There were no marks of
violence. He believed the child
had been attended at birth fcy a
physician and that it died after
birth.
The body was well developed
and showed signs of a healthy
child. A close examination led
the physicians to believe the girl
had dark hair.
Police were baffled by the fact
that the child, although white, had
been placed in a locker in the
Negro waiting room. A check of
hospitals was being made by police
last night to determine names of
persons who had given birth to
babies within the last few days
although authorities believed that

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 18

see him, but disclaimed any ro

“My goodness,” she exclaimed.
“I’ve only seen him three times.”
Virginia and her mother, Mrs.

not advised Virginia that he was

car spent the morning outside the
Wal'rens’ summer home, however.
Mrs. Warren commented that
Folsom, 38-year-old widower and

“Merna — We could have been
so happy had you continued to have
me. I have your picture before
me. I will look at it for the last
time. I do love you so much — to

Duel In The Street
Police Chief Shoots Former

Wounded

(Special To The Star)
FAIR BLUFF, Aug. 18. — A
former Fair Bluff policeman is
dead and the chief of police is a
patient in the Columbus county
hospital at Whiteville suffering
from gunshot wounds in his thigh as
the result of a blazing gun duel
fought in the business district
here this afternoon.
Frank Hinson, 39-year-old form
er police officer, was shot and
killed by Chief E. L. Brooks after
Hinson fired a 12-guage shotgun
blast at Brooks, according to
Coroner Hugh Nance.
After Brooks shot Hinson, the
chief of police limped toward a
nearby drug store and Owen Hin
son, brother of the dead man, fir
ed a .22 calibre rifle shot at the
officer. The shot went wild, Nance
said.
Hinson died en route to a Mul
lins, S. C. hospital. The bullet from
Brook’s service revolver took ef
fect in Hinson’s chest, according
to Nance.
Brooks, suffering from loss of
blood was rushed to the Columbus
county hospital at Whiteville, where
attendants reported his condition
as “fair” late tonight.
According to Nance, the two men
had engaged in an argument last
night.
Brooks told coroner Nance that
he had called upon Hinson’s father,
who operates a taxi at Fair Bluff
and advised the elder Hinson that
he would have to secure a city
license to operate his car. This
was Saturday, Nance said Brooks
told him.
Shortly after the police chief had
talked with the elder Hinson, the
former police officer went to see
Brooks and told him, the coroner
said, “You are trying to mess my

Midwesterners Swelter
In Heat High In 90’s
CHICAGO, Aug. 18—(U.R)— Mid
westerners sweltered today in a
scorch^g heat wave that pushed
temperatures up into the high 90’s.
The heat wave blanketed a
wide belt from Kansas and Ne
braska to Michigan and Ohio.
It was moving slowly eastward
and was expected to reach the
Atlantic Coast states tomorrow.
However, the U. S. Weather Bu
reau in Chicago said ocean winds
would hold down the mercury in
the east until Thursday or Fri
day.
At Detroit, more than 4,000
Chrysler corporation employes
were sent home today after 60
welders walked out of the com
pany’s metal shop because of the
heat. The temperature in Detroit
was edging into the high 90’s.
The walkout of welders forced
the layoff of 650 other metal work
ers, 1,300 paint and trim workers
and 1,500 final assembly workers
at the main Chrysler plaint, and
860 employes at the De Soto plant,
Company officials said they ex

Along The Cape Fear
HISTORICAL CLARIFICA
TION—Louis T. Moore, member
of the New Hanover County His
torical commission who has spent
much of his life in a study of
historical events in this region
and is recognized as an outstand
ing authority on the subject in
this community, comes forward
with suggestions and corrections
on previous stories in “Along The
Cape Fear.”
One is on Governor Edward B.
Dudley, the first elected governor
of North Carolina. Moore points
out that Governor Dudley had ap
proximately 30 predecessors in of
fice although none of them , were
elected. The first one was appoint
ed about 1776.
Governor Dudley was elected by
popular vote following a constitu
tional amendment in 1835.
* * *
DUDLEY’S HOME — Governor
Dudley lived in the mansion at
Front and Nun streets which was
erected about 1830. The property
later was purchased and remodel
ed by the late Dr. James Sprunt.
Governor Dudley was one of
North Carolina’s leaders of his
generation, as Moore points out.
He subscribed more than $25,000
in stock to help make possible the
original Wilmington & Weldon
1
railroad, which later became one
of the original units of the oresent
Atlantic Coast Line system.
Louis T. Moore writes that lor
the sake of the present day resi
dents ar.d visitors it is regrettable
that the handsome monument
over the grave of Governor Dud
ley in Oakdale cemetery, bears
no reference to the fact that he
was the first governor of this
state elected by general referen
dum.
* * *
FAMOUS INCIDENT RECALL
ED — Further, Moore brings out
that it was Governor Dudley who
uttered a statement that has rung
across the United States and is
known by most living citizens to
day.
That statement concerned a
quotation often heard today in
humorous conversations. It is,
“What did the governor of North
Carolina say to the governor of
South Carolina?”
Governor Dudley was the au
thor and composer of the original
and now famous remark, “Well,
Governor, its a long time between
drinks.” Governor Dudley alleged
ly made that remark to Governor
Pierce Butler of South Carolina
-when the latter visited this state’s
governor in Raleigh.

A delegation of British experts
