Pulliam, editor and publisher of the Indianapolis Star, charged tonight “that it is common knowledge in the State De partment” that when Henry Wallace visited Russia in 1315 he ordered his staff to suppress all reports infavor able to that country. “The orders to the staff were that no matter what they saw of concentration camps or suppression of free dom they were not to be revealed if unfavorable to Russia,” Pulliam said. The publisher, who return ed yesterday from a tour of 20 countries in Europe and the Near East, said the “time has come when President Truman and Secretary of State Marshall should tell the American people what ! they know” of Wallace’s trip. “In all the embassies and legations Wallace’s suppres sion of the truth is common talk,” Pulliam said. “The State Department has not told the American people be cause they are afraid if they antagonize Wallace he will wreck their chances for re election in 1948.” The Indiana publisher also . attacked the partition plan for Palestine which he said would result in “immediate civil war in the Holy Land “Giving Jaffa to the Jews is a perfect example of the ill-advisedness of the plan. There is not a Jew who wants Jaffa, which has been Arab for years. Some parti tion plan might work al though I doubt it, but this one certainly will not work." Fifteen Women Selected For Jury Duty In County THREE EXPLORERS LOST ON FLIGHT British Trio Were Enroute East Coast Of Graham Land LONDON, Sept. 22 — (U.R) — Three British Antartic explorers have been missing since Sept. 15 when their single-engined mono plane disappeared on a flight to the bleak, unexplored East coast of Graham Land, the Colonial office announced today. The men, who were seeking a notable base for a joint British American expedition, left their British main base at Marguerite Bay Sept. 15. Wireless contact was lost when they were near their destination. An American plane provided by Commander Finn Ronne of the U. *. expedition, searched the area for 30 minutes but was forc *4 to return to base without lighting ihe British plane after its fuel ran low. A ground search also was made. The Britishers were identified as W. H. Thomson, the pilot, Meteorologist B. Stonehouse and Surveyor R. L. Freeman. Radio Fades The announcement said that the low power of the explorers’ radio may have been responsible for its fading. The lost trio had 10 days ra tions and could stretch them somewhat longer, the Colonial said.

It’s a small establishment in the main business section opera ted by 49-year-old, 250-pound Dick Rickert. Advertising reegularly, he of fers such bargains as sirloin steak at 39 cents a pound, chuck roast at 39, bacon at 48 and on one occasion at least—lamb chops at 14 1-2. And the bargains draw a steady stream of customers to the little shop where Rickert waits on all of them himself. The merchant explains he doesn’t buy the “best grades” of j]reat. His goods, he says, are "wholesome,” but fall into the lower classification such as “util ity” and commercial”. And he looks for bargains himself and outs his meat economically. 'I’m doing this to keep my customers,” declared Rickert.

The Floridians urged Sena tors from Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana -all raked by the same hurricane that lashed across Florida lust week — to join them in sponsoring legisla tion to create such a corpora tion. Pepper said in a telegram to his colleagues that he and Hol land have requested President Truman to designate one of his special assistants “to coordi nate with various federal agencies to see what can be done to give prompt relief to our stricken areas.” Pepner said in a statement the federal government should pay all overhead of the pro posed disaster insurance corpo ration and premiums should be kept “to the very minimum.” Pepper and Holland proposed that the Southeastern Senators urge the President to include in any call for a special session of Congress recommendations to aid sufferers of the latest hurricane. „ . ., Rep.

Many insecticides for killing the house fly has been devised and tried out. Even large string ers filled with a sweet honey like substance have been hung from ceiling to snare the un suspecting common variety fly. But something new has been added to the long list of “fly traps”. Out in Maffitt Village some of the Residents tell the story of the little toad who snaps up flies, roaches and other household pests, with the polli ble exception of little Junior. According to the story told by one resident of the village there is a small toad that has made a habit of hanging around the small grocery store on the bou levard.

Myers area tonight with 50 to 60-mile-an-hour winds — not a hurricane but strong enough to play havoc with the already battered citrus <prop. The Miami Weather Bureau added a grim note to its re ports on the new blow by warn ing that after it crosses into the Atlantic near Jacksonville tomorrow morning “it may in crease in intensity.” This might mean a dangerous blow for Atlantic coast resi dents who were mineful that last week’s hurricane was only half through when it crossed Florida and then went on to blast the Gulf coast states with even greater fury. The entire Florida peninsula was put under alert, from Ce dar Keys on the West coast Southward and the entire East coast northward to Fernandina just short of the Georgia line. 8:30 Advisory At 8:30 p.m. EST the Weath er Bureau located the storm center 60 miles West Southwest of Fort Myers, Fla. It was mov ing Northeastward at an in creased rate of speed—up to 13 miles per hour. Strongest winds were 50 to 60 miles an hour. The Weather Bureau said it was expected to reach the coast be tween Fort Myers and Tampa about midnight EST and cross the peninsula, moving in a Northeasterly course. It was expected to reach the Atlantic in the vicinity of Daytona Beach. “It is emphasized that this storm is not of hurricane force and there is little chance of it See COAST On Page Two MURDER, ROMANCE ON RIVER BRIDGE Span Over Savannah Scene Of Wedding, Brutal Bride Slaying SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 22— (U.R)—The Savannah river was a rendezvous today for ’ove and marriage at one bridge and for jealousy, murder and suicide at another. Near Anderson, S.C. on the Upper river, 19-year-old Wil liam Houpt and Beverly Wild man, 17> both of Atlanta, want ed to get married and had gone to South Carolina for the cere mony. But Rev. E. C. White explained that a new state law required a 24-hour wait. But the preacher suggested that the couple get a license in Georgia and he would marry them on the Savannah river bridge, he standing in South Carolina while the bride and groom stood a few feet away in Georgia. The ceremony thus was performed. Murder At Bridge In Savannah, Army Capt. John E. Curtis remarried his divorced wife, Nona Lee. While they had been separated, Mrs Curtis kept company with Den nis J. Counihan of the Chatham county police homicide squad. Hearing of the marriage the jealousy-crazed Counihan am bushed the couple as they left town for Wisconsin—at the Sa vannah river bridge just North of the city. When they drove up he stop ped them, pulled Mrs. Curtis from the car. snatched a purple wedding orchid from her ccat and fired four shots into her body.

Veterans Administration Hospital Survey Team To Inspect Sites Here On October 10 A local committee, which has promoted sites near Wil mington for the proposed veterans’ neuropsychiatric hpspital of 1,000 beds to be constructed in Eastern North Carolina in 1949 at an esti mated cost of $15,000,000, will make final plans this morn ing for their meeting with the veterans’ administration survey team tentatively scheduled to arrive here on Oct. 10 during their tour of proposed sites, John 5. Far rell, secretary of the Wil mington chamber of com merce said yesterday, The committee has deter mined upon a policy of keep ing the location of the local sites secret for the time be ing, Farrell said, for fear of causing real estate inflation. The VA survey team, now visiting the proposed sites, in cludes J. E. McMurrer, real estate advisor, C. T. Thomp son, medical consultant, and J. P. Haynes, construction en gineer. Congress has appropriated $365,000 for the site of the hospital, the Star learned from Washington last night. A VA official said that ap proximately 750 persons would be employed on the 400 acre tract, over which the several buildings of the hospital are to be spread. In addition to psychiatrists and nurses a ground crew, jani tors, and other workers will be employed. Plenty of farm land is wanted on the site, as the occupational therapy of agri cultural pursuits is con sidered highly beneficial in the treatment of psycho-neu rotic patients. The ideal site would also include a river, lake, or beach convenient for water sports, it was disclosed. Cities in the eastern part of the state lay claim to preference for the location of the hospital because they are near the coast and because a similar hospital of 900 beds will be built at Salisbury in the western Piedmont. The VA survey team is scheduled to visit Greenville, Kinston, Seven Springs, Goldsboro, Wilson, Rocky Mount, Wendell, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Durham. Bur lington, Greensboro, High Point, Winston Salem, Asheville, Gastonia, Char lotte, Monroe, Rockingham, Aberdeen, Southern Pines, Laurinburg, Maxton, Fay etteville, and Elizabeth City. They are expected to make their recommendation shortly after they complete their tour on October 16.

Along The Cape Fear LAST DUEL ON THE CAPE FEAR — The true story of the last duel fought in this section reached this column today through the courtesy of Mr. C. C. Chadbourn of 415 ,S. Front street. The duel was fought with cowhides and proved to be a thrilling affair in which a short man, who was long on courage and fast on his feet, whipped his large opponent to the point of submission. In the words of the contributor, the af fair is pictured as follows: “Today there are few, if any, survivors of either participant —the duel took place way back in the dim and distant past, and as the circumstances are known probably to only two people now living, the sensibili ties of no one can be offended by releasing the story at this time. “Both participants have long since gone whither there is no duelling. The present genera tion has to spend too much time dialing even to talk about duel ling. As so often happened in duels of that time, honor was satisfied and both parties to the duel lived to a ripe old age and died a natural death in bed. * * • DAVID AND GOLIATH SE QUENCE — “One of the parties to the conflict was an under sized gentleman with little avoirdupois but with plenty of courage; the other was a fine looking six footer. The cause of the duel was an alleged insult to a lady friend, really a pro tege of the small sized citizen. “The other gentleman, con trary to expectation, refused to apologize and told his ad versary he was willing to fight about it. This was virtually a challenge and gave the little man the right to the choice of weapons. He chose what was known in those days as cow hides. The choice was accepted and each man provided himself with a brand new cowhide. “With seconds, but no doc tors, they went to the west side of the Cape Fear river.
