Air-Supported Indian
Jroops Pursuing Rebels In
Kashmir Hills
fv'EW DELHI, India, Nov. 10.
__ (U.R) — Air^Supported troops
of the Dominion of India advanc
ed Westward in Kashmir today,
pursuing Moslem invaders who
were said to have killed 4,000 in
habitants and burned 200 shops
and homes before they were
driven from Baramula last
week.
Charges that the Moslems had
slaughtered the populace and
yacked and looted Baramula
were contained in today’s In
dian government communique,
which alleged that three nuns,
a British Army colonel and
his wife were among those kill
ed.
•‘If the raiders had not re
sorted to loot and murder,” said
the comunique, “they could have
captured Srinagar (capital of
Kashmir) before Indian troops”
were flown in Oct. 27.
The communique said Indian
troops had advanced today along
the Baramulauri road, en
countering only “light opposi
tion” but were hampered be
cause the retreating Moslems
destroyed two bridges near
Uri.
The Moslems swept out of the
Northwest frontier province
Oct. 24 and first ran against
Indian troops three days later.
Since that date, Hindu forces
have been pushing the Moslems
steadily back toward Ihe frontier
province.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. —UP)
—The government today offered
to buy up hens which don’t lay
many eggs and put them into
"deep freeze” for later use. The
move is designed to save up

Simultaneously, Chair man
Charles Luckman of the citizens

nation’s milling industries to
volunteer their help in the over

Luckman sent telegrams to 23
major milling concerns asking
them to meet in Washington on
Thursday and submit “a defi
nite proposal for the maximum
conservation of grain.” He said
he wants to present the milling
program to President Truman
and the Cabinet Food commit

Holdings
BERLIN, Nov. 10 -<U.R)_The
American Military government
today put into effect a law de
signed to return an estimated
$5,400,000,000 in properties to
swindled Nazi victims.
The AMG promulgated the

$5,400,000,000 for return to right

changed
By The Associated Press
Tobacco prices dropped on
markets of the Eastern North
Carolina Belt yesterday while
on the Old and Middle Belts
prices were relatively un
changed, the State and Federal
Departments of Agriculture re
ported.
All the markets of the three
belts prepared to hold a holiday
tomorrow in celebration of Ar

The agricultural agencies an
nounced that the Ahoskie mar
ket would hold final sales Fri
day and the Washington market
would close after next Tues
day’s sales.
Price decilnes on the Eastern
Belt affected most grades, but
lower qualities were the bigger
losers with drops of from $3 to
$4 per hundred pounds. Better
grades were down from $1 to
$2. A price of $3.50 paid for
poorest thin nondescript was
the lowest offered for any grade
this season.
Offerings were improved over
last Friday as more leaf, smok

seen on the markets. Volume of
sales was heavy.
Child Buys ’Lib Turkey

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 -To
her Royal Highness, Princess

Just a line to tell you not to

your wedding reception—a tur
key is on its way.
It’s from four-year old Julie

A clerk questioned her, Your

knew “there isn’t any food in
England” and that she was
“afraid there won’t be anything
good to eat” at your wedding
reception.
The child was taken to the

Investors Group
To Net Millions
High-Powered Financing
Kites $150,000 Invest
ment Into Riches
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10. —
(U.R)— A high-powered investors
group, taking less chance than a
peanut-vendor who buys a two
buck sweepstakes ticket today
saw their original $150,000 in
vestment snowball into paper
profits of nearly $10,000,000.
The multi-million dollar deal,
which materialized in less than
11 months, involves the purchase
of the government war-built “Big
inch” and “Little Inch” pipelines
from the War Assets Administra
tion.
The transaction is a $33,858,000
stock sale by the Texas Eastern
Transmission Corp., of Houston,
organized last January 30. The
firm, formed by the original
group of $150,000 investors, sub
mitted a successful bid of $143,
127.000 at the WAA sale of the
“Inch” lines, which will be used
to pipe natural gas from Texas
and Louisiana to East coast cities.
Eleven-Member Group
The original investment, paltry
in comparison to the final worth
of the Texas company, was made
by 11 members of the New York
investment banking firm, Dillon,
Read & Co., Inc., and 17 other in
dividuals who combined rare op
portunity with nerve and a sound
knowledge of stock financing.
These were the “insiders” who
formed Texas Eastern as a Dela
ware corporation and purchased
150.000 shares of the company’s
$1 par common stock for the total
outlay of $150,000.

tonight after a coroner’s inquest
in connection with the hit and
run death of Worth Cribb, 43
year-old bachelor carpenter-fore
man of the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad company.
Cribb was killed instantly last

Schindler was arrested shortly
afterwards in connection with the
death.
Cribb was reported to have
been crossing the highway when
he was struck by an automobile

that his shoes were knocked from
his feet by the impact and landed
40 feet away from the body.
A deep gash on the head was
the cause of death, although
he received numerous bruises
about the body, officers said.
A portion of the automobile ra

BY TOMAHAWK-WIELDING AUTOIST
OMAHA, Nov. 10—(AP)—A young man hit with a toma
hawk in a traffic dispute got what he asked for, Municipal
Judge Frank Nimtz ruled today.
Wilbur Austin, 21, testified he struck Willis Tillwick, 18, with
a souvenir Indian tomahawk after Tillwick’s car cut in front
of his and after the cars stopped and Tillwick and a compan
ion “started after me.” Austin stod he bought the tomahawk,
which has a head of stone and a handle of leather and wood,
at an Indian reservation.
“Looks like you asked for it,” Judge Nimtz said in dismissing
charges of assault brought by Tillwick. “I think if two men
started after me, I’d reach for something, too.”
CREWMEN INJURED
IN BOMBER CRASH
Army B-29 Falls Into
Stored Fighter Planes At
Tinker Field
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 10.
—UP)— A B-29 bomber crashed
into an aircraft storage area on
a take-off from Tinker Army Air
field here late today, injuring
seven crewmen, two critically,
and destroying several fighter
planes.
The base public relations of
fice said the bomber was on its
way back to its base at Smoky
Hill Army Airfield, Salina, Kas.,
when it plunged into a storage
area for decommissioned P-47
Thunderbolt fighter planes, ex
ploded and burned.
Air Force officials said several
fighter planes were destroyed and
about 12 others damaged.
Injured In Hospital
The injured were taken to the
field’s station hospital.
A cloud of black, oily smoke
rose from the crash scene, which
was located on the airdrome some
distance from administration and
repair buildings.
Along The Cape Fear
he can be raised to the bench.
‘There have been just enough
exceptions to prove the rule,’
Miss Stuart says.
“Ships coming into or leav
ing the harbor, passing her gar
den, often salute and dip their
colors. This custom originated
one day when the daughter of
a ship captain was swimming
in the river, and the current
threatened to carry her away.
Although nearly 60 years old,
Miss Stuart plunged in and saved
the child.”
It must be remembered that
the above account was written
more than 20 years ago. A few
years ago Miss Stuart passed
away, and more recently the
Stuart Inn came into possession
of Dr. B. W. Wells, professor of
botany in the College of Agri
culture and Engineering, of the
University of North Carolina.
He is the author of “The Natu
ral Gardens of North Carolina,”
published by the U. of N. C.
press at Chapel Hill in 1932. The
book proved to be popular and
has become so rare as to be al
most a collector’s item. It is be
lieved that the professor has pre
pared a revision of the book
which will be published soon to
the delight of Carolina garden
and nature lovers.

FOR CHRISTIANITY
Bishop Block Pleads For
Whole-Hearted Follow
ing Of Christ
"Christians must decide now to
follow Christ wholeheartedly,”
the Right Reverend Carl M.
Block, Bishop of California, told
his audience at the Episcopal
Mission services at St. James
church Monday evening. In view
of challenging world conditions,
a postponement of the decision
might be too late, he declared.
He pointed out that enemies of
Christianity, such as the Com
munists, believe in their ideolo
gies whole heartedly, and cau
tioned that anything less on the
part of the defenders of the
Christian faith would be too little.
He pleaded for the develop
ment of a rounded personality
and a full life, with essentials in
their proper places.
“If we get science in our heads
without Christianity in our hearts,
we court disaster,” the bishop
said.
Summing up the unsettled
world conditions and the threats
to world peace in the near future,
he declared:
“It is either Christ, or nothing.”
The Rt. Rev. Block will speak
at mission services at St. James
church at 8 p. m. Tuesday, Wed
nesday, Thursday, and Friday.
On Thursday at 6:15 p. m. he will

“Bargains In Bodies”
Do Not Jar Justices
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10—W—
Black-robed justices of the Sup
reme Court bent their brows to
day over a magazine containing
such articles as “Girl Slave To A
Love Cult,” “Gilrs’ Dormitory”
and “Bargains in Bodies.”
And they didn’t bat an eyelash.
It was all strictiy business. The
lurid tales formed part of an ex

whether a state may ban publi
cations containing mostly stories
of “bloodshed, lust and crime.”
They have been asked to rule
that a New York law prohibiting
such publication violates the con
stitutional guarantee of a free
press.
Whitman Knapp, assistant New
York district attorney, displayed
copies of the magazine “Head
quarters Detective, True Cases

contended that the New York law
involved no free-press issue.
“The New York law,” Knapp

LANDMARK—One of the his
toric landmarks along the Cape
Fear River, which was of later
origin but outlasted even the his

I-n at Southport. Elise Lathrop
in her book, “Early American
Inns and Taverns,” published in
1926 writes as follows of this old
hotel:
“South of Wilmington, at
Southport, is a charming old ho
tel established in 1842 and still
popular. The lower portion of the
house, built of brick is shown
by the town records to be 154
years old. The upper frame por

the Stuart House on the south

“The first landlady, Mrs. Mary
E. Stuart, came to Southport
from Tennessee, after her hus

the house and opened it as a ho

Displaying Rare Show 01
Unity, Nations Send
Plan To UN
LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 10—m
—The United States and Rus
sia, with a rare show of unity,
agreed late today on a Soviet
compromise plan for enforcement
of the proposed partition of
Palestine.
The plan was sent on immedi
ately to the United Nations As
sembly’s subcommittee consider
ing proposals for cutting up th«
Holy Land into sovereign
Arab and Jewish countries.
Dr. Herbert V. Evatt of Aus
tralia, chairman of the As
sembly’s 57-nation special Pales
tine committee, predicted a vote
would be taken on the partition
plan within four days.
British sources received the
announcement of U. S.-Soviet
agreement on the new plan with
out comment except to say Brit
ain's position had been stated
by Colonial Secretary Arthur
Creech-Jones when he told the
full Palestine committee Sept.
26:
“If the assembly should recom
mend a policy which is not ac
ceptable to the Jews and Arabs,
the United Kingdom government
would not feel able to imple
ment it.
A spokesman for the Jewish
Agency for Palestine said “we
are pleased over the U. S.-Soviet
agreement and “believe it will
assure a two-thirds majority vote
in the Assembly.”
Arab representatives had no
immediate comment.
The new plan, which was ham
mered out on the basis of a Soviet
compromise, calls for termina
tion of the British mandate over
Palestine May 1, 1948, and the
creation of independent Arab
and Jewish nations not later than
July 1, 1948.
Russia previously had proposed
termination of the mandate Jan.
1, while the U. S. had specified
a date not later than July 1.

HUGHES TOUCHES
ON OUTLAW BAN
Plane Builder Says Former
Army Officer Helped
Curb Film
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. —<U.B>
— Howard Hughes told Senate
investigators today that the New
York ban on his controversial
movie, “The Outlaw,” was help
ed along by a retired Air Force
general who tried to borrow $200,
000 from him during negotiations
for a wartime airplane contract.
The young millionaire identi
fied the officer to a Senate War
Investigating subcommittee as
Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers, a
top figure in the Air Force’s
wartime procurement organiza
tion.
Hughes said Meyers not only
tried to arrange the loan but ask
ed him for a job in his aircraft
business.
He said he turned the general
down on both because he thought
it would be “improper” to d®
business of that kind while ne
gotiating government war con
tracts.
His account contradicted testi
mony given last week by Meyers
and disputed another version giv
en to the subcommittee by Neil
McCarthy, an attorney formerly
associated with Hughes.
Different Version
Meyers swore that Hughes of
fered him a job and a $50,000 loan
during the contract negotiations
and that he refused to accept
either. But he acknowledged that
the West coast millionaire turn
ed him down only a few months
ago — after his retirentent —
when he asked Hughes to invest
$50,000 in a post-war business
venture.
