Industrial Commission
Awards $6,000 Each In
Winecoff Claim
RALEIGH, Nov. 18. — (U.R) _
The North Carolina Industrial
Commission today awarded $6,000
each to the families of three Ashe
ville, bus drivers who died in a
company-rented room in the
Winecoff hotel fire, which took
more than 120 lives in Atlanta
last December 7.
The commission affirmed an
earlier ruling that the workmen’s
compensation act covered Harry
W. Sorrells, Cleveland D. Sisk
and William Edgar Bryson.
Srnoky Mountain Stages, Inc.,
rented a room by the month for
drivers to rest before their re
turn trip, and they were re
quired to stay there.
The ruling ordered the Acci
dent and Casualty Insurance Co.
to pay the awards at the rate of
$21 a week to each widow.
The commission withheld a rul
ing on two other North Caro
linians who died in the hotel
fire. They were also in Atlanta on
company business, but unlike the
bus drivers they were not re
quired to stay at the Winecoff.
MARIANS HEAR
PLEA FOR CHEST
Hal Love Steals Spotlight
At Regular Club Lunch
eon Meeting
“The fate of the Community
Chest is at stake,” declared
Chest President H. A. Marks in
announcing to the Rotary Club
at its open meeting yesterday
that a resoliciting of business
men will be conducted as the
campaign is extended here.
Stating that the drive is $27,
000 short of funds necessary for
local needs, Marks added that
“if business men don’t support
the Chest with their own healthy
and equitable contributions and
with recommendations to their
employes, we cannot have a
Community Chest.”
He said that enthusiasm of
employers is necessary' to pro
mote contributions from em
ployes.
“The extra money the ship
yards gave us (during war
years) will not come from em
ployes, but must come from the
business men,’’ he declared. “If
the Chest fails and we have 12
collections from 12 agencies,
the business men stand to lose
the most in time lost and in
convenience.”
"I wonder if we people of
Wilmington want a Community
C-hest, ” he said. “We don’t de

so far. But we are not going to

Lieutenant Governor
Stresses Need In Speech
To Jaycees
Lieutenant Governor L. Y.
(Stag) Ballentine, probable can
didate .for governor in next
May’s Democratic primary, ad
vocated the development of the
Wilmington port in a speech be
fore the local Junior Chamber
of Commerce at their dinner ses
sion at he Friendly last night.
Although he has not announced
for the gubernatorial race as
yet, political observers in
Raleigh have expressed the
opinion that Ballentine will run.
“Wilmington, and perhaps
Morehead City, need ports,” he
declared.
“I think North Carolina
is entitled to a decent, port. . .
It would benefit the State as a
whole as well as Wilmington.”
“I believe the records show
that North Carolina is the only
State with a comparable coast
line without an acceptable port,”
he said.
In tracing the State’s agricul
tural and industrial develop
ment, Ballentine said that the
“near 30 per cent reduction
in acreage next year will come
as a shock to tobacco farmers
in the agricultural area.”
He recommended diversifica
tion of crops as a remedy for
the situation. •
The Jaycees at their last
night’s meeting were informed
that their tuberculosis bond sale,
which they conduct each year
prior to the Tuberculosis as
sociation’s Seal sale would get
under way today. The sale of
bonds to those who contribute
$5 or more to the Seal sale is
handled annually by the Jaycees,
and according to Executive
Secretary Lucy Nash of the as
sociation, results in the collec
tion of approximately half of
the goal of $10,000.
The Jaycees also completed
plans for their scrap paper
drive this Sunday with the ap
pointment of 15 truck captains
to operate with crews in the
various sections of the city and
at the beaches.
Five new members were in
ducted as a feature of the No
vember membership round
up. They are James C. Stinson,
Harriss E. Bullard, Thomas M.
Herritage, Wade H. Tillery and

Tackle Program
Senate Group To Take In

Food Supplies
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. —(U.R)
— Three key committees of the
House and Senate went to work
today on President Truman’s
plans for stop-gap aid to Eu
rope, and all signs indicated the
program will get a thorough
“shaking-down” before it wins
the approval of the emergency
session of Congress.
The Senate Appropriations
committee voted to take an In
ventory of American food stbcks
and next year’s crop prospects
before acting on the $597,000,000
emergency relief grant to France,
Austria and Italy.
Chairman Styles Bridges, R.,
N. H., said the committee would
“NOT be stampeded into action
before we know where we’re
going.” He said about two weeks
of public hearings would be held
to determine whether the United
States can spare the food, coal
and petroleum required by the
program without “short-chang
ing our own people.”
Amendment Approved
The Senate Foreign Relations
committee meantime approved
an amendment to the interim aid
bill requiring that whenever pos
sible the petroleum products
needed for relief exports must be
obtained from sources outside
this country.
The amendment was offered by
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., R.,
Mass., who described it as a
“safeguard” to prevent any un
necessary worsening of the oil
shortage along the Eastern sea
board. Undersecretary of State
Robert A. Lovett, who testified at
a closed session of the committee,
said the amendment was accept
able to the administration.
The House Foreign Affairs
committee wound up its hearings
an the interim aid bill with testi
mony from Congressmen who
made personal inspection tours
af Europe.
Impassioned Appeal
It heard an impassioned ap
peal for prompt and adequate aid
from Rep. Everett M. Dirksen, R.,

S ITTLE CHILD
Five-Year-0 Id Drops
Through Uncovered Drain
In Rainstorm
SEATTLE, Nov. 18 — UP) —
Without any hope of finding her
alive, city employes searched
sewers and watched outlets to
day for the body to' a 5-year-old
girl who dropped into a man
hole last night while walking be
tween her father and an aunt
in a rainstorm.
The child was Sherron Roth
rock, only child of Mr. and Mrs.
Dean Rothrock.
“Sherron went down so quick
ly, it was just like a bullett,”
said the grief-stricken 29
year-old father, who had let the
child go with him to escort an
aunt to a bus line. “There was
a faint outcry and a splash in
the darkness. If I could just
have had a chance to grab her,
she might be here today.”
Water pressure from a rain
storm apparently forced off the
manhole cover.
C. G. Will, assistant city en
gineer, said he never before had
heard of a manhole cover blow
ing off from water pressure,
and added:
“I don’t know how this awful
tragedy could have been avert
ed, except perhaps by having
manhole covers that are bolted
down. However, I don’t know of
a city in the United States that
bolts them down.”

The plaque, a large circular af

from the bullrushes, was still in
its accustomed place when the
House chamber was locked up for
the night. Anyone trying to leave
the building after that time
should hpve had to “sign out”
at one of the guarded exit doors.
The missing “souvenir” was set
in the door when the House wing
of the capitol was opened for

Tobacco-State Lawmakers
To Ask Financing Under

Morning Star Washington
Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—
AAA tobacco-state Congressmen
and Senators set out today to
have the United States govern
ment finance tobacco shipments
to Europe under the Marshall
plan.
They will meet Friday with
spokesmen for the tobacco .in

Representative Harold Cooley

Cooley proposed that surplus
American tobacco-be used to re

and stabilize the domestic price,
which has been depressed by
Britain’s withdrawal from the
market.

New York Gives Noisy
Welcome To 270-Car Gift
Food Special
NEW YORK. Nov. 18. —WV
Warren R. Austin, permanent
United States delegate to the
United Nations, hailed the 270
car Friendship Train as an ex
ample of “peacemongering” to
day after the train completed
its historic run across the
United States.
Bearing gifts of food from
America destined mainly for
the hungry of France and Italy,
the train was welcomed at a
celebration which included a
parade up Broadway and a cer
emony at city hall where Austin
and Mayor William O’Dwyer
were among the speakers.
Thirty-three flag-draped cars
of the train were placed on
Eloats and taken for a symbolic
“review” past the Statue of
Liberty, a gift to the American
people from France.
Starting 10 days ago in Los
Angeles with 12 cars, the train
grew until it was split into three
sections. Its sponsors estimated
that it totaled 270 cars after
arrival in New York today,
counting about 35 carloads of
food donated by New York.
They estimated the train
carried more than $1,000,000
worth of food. Gifts were con
tinuing to arrive from many
cities.
Packing of the food for ship
ment is to begin at once. It
will be transported free by
American Export Lines and
United States Lines, with Dec.
24 fixed as the arrival date for
France and New Year’s Day for
Italy. A token shipment is being

Secretary Denies
Imperialism Aim
Communistic Attitude
Blamed For Active Re

CHICAGO, Nov. 18. — (JF) —»
Secretary Of State Marshall to
night denounced Russia’s “bra
zen and contemptuous” propa
ganda as a threat to world
stability and said it was time
to call it to a &alt. “We do not
propose to stand by and watch
the disintegration of the inter
national community to which we
belong, “Marshall declared.
Sharply denying that the
United States has imperialistic
aims in extending aid to Europe,
he said Communistic misrepre
sentations “goaded the Ameri
can people into a state of active
resentment.”
Speaking on the eve of his
departure for the Big Four
Foreign Ministers conference at
London, Marshall said that Rus
sia herself is to blame for what
he termed a complete change
in this country’s attitude toward
the Soviets since Germany’s sur
render. ..
Her territorial expansion con
trasts, he noted, with the volun
tary reductions in area made
by the United States and Britain.
Russia, he charged, appears de
termined to prolong Europe’s
plight indefinitely.
Speaks Bluntly
Marshall spoke out bluntly in
an address prepared for the
Chicago Council on Foreign Re
lations and the Chicago Chamber
of Commerce. His references to
Russia were viewed by some
of his associates as aimed to
make plain this country’s at
titude before his meeting next

agreement on a European peace
settlement.

Trainmen’s President,
However Favors £rice Con

NEW YORK, Nov. 18— tffl—
A. F. Whitney, president of the
Brother-hood of Railroad Train
men (Ind), said today that price
control and rationing “seem
necessary” but that “freezing of
wagesat president levels will do
many workers irreparable
harm.”
Whitney, who declared after
last year’s short- lived railroad
strike that his union would
spend its $47,000,000 treasury, if
necessary, to defeat President
Truman, was asked at a news
conference to comment on the
President’s address to Congress
yesterday.
“I don’t like the thought of
rationing but I don’t know how
we can stop the monopolistic
system from pricing us out of
existence unless rationing and
price control are adopted,” he
declared.
“They seem necessary, but
it’s tragic. It’s too bad we
couldn’t have had price control
before prices reached their
present level.”
Opposes Wage Control
Whitney, whose union of 218,
000 members won a 15 1-2-cent
an-hour pay increase from 132
railroads last week, added, how
ever, that he was opposed to
wage controls.
