ABC BOARD (Continuac! From Page One) up like the other counties in the State? Why do we have three paid commissioners? After Dr. Moore had praised the caliber of the members of this New Hanover board and pointed out that they had kept practices here “clean and aboveboard, Gardner added, I don’t for one moment reflect on the caliber of the men on the board. I think that the men on the board are just as high a type as there is anywhere. But I thmk its up to us to operate the ABC system as economically as possi ble. “I think we snouia meet in June and learn something about the operation of the ABC board, Gardner said in discuss ing a motion by Dr. Moore, which was later carried, to have another joint meeting of the three county boards with the ABC administrators to discuss the operation of the stores. “If we find that it can be done more economically another way, we should present it to the leg islature and see about getting a set-up here in Wilmington like those in other communities. After Chairman MacMillan had presented the boards re quest for the $50 monthlv in creases for its members. Gard ner asked him if t he plan of op ner asked him if the plan of op eration for the local ABC board were not set up by the State board. “Practically nothing is done by the State board. MacMillan answered. “Practically all they do is set up a master list of approved persons and approved articles o f merchandise. We se lect such articles as we think we need from that list.’ In explaining the request for the raises MacMillan said, “When our salaries were set in 1942 (last increases given the board members, amounting to several hundred dollars annual ly, were in 1942; we were not subject to Federal income tax es, but in the last few years Ive paid around $800 in Federal in come taxes. "We have put this thing o n a high plane of operation. I can ■ay without boasting, he add ed. “It is just as clean as it was the day we started it 12 years ago. We could make a few errors that would cost you more in profits than you pay us in salaries in five years. "Our inventories of slow mov merchandise have been kept 1 and we have saved the time a iv effort others have used in getting clear of slow moving merchandise. When Gardner asked him whether there were any other county he would reflect upon in any way in their operation of the ABC system. MacMillan replied, “I wish you wouldn’t ask me that question, because I could answer it. and I dont want to. Answering a question from Coleman a s to what c onsidera tion was to be given salaries of ABC store ooerators and em ployes, McMillan said that the ABC board had raised the sala ries of store employes “from time to time at intervals during the last five years, and they are Atlas Tires Plus Plus Plus PLUS — All the quality, safety, comfort and ap pearance you can get in any tire. PLUS—Service night and day, holidays and Sun days. PLUS—Guaranteed for 12 months in writing by Standard Oil Co., N. .J. PLUS — 38.000 dealers from coast to coast who will adjust and make re placements under the guarantee. OPEN 24 HOURS Hughes Bros. Inc. DISTRIBUTORS Practical Gifts Of Tools AT GREGG BROS. MARKET ts FRONT STS. DIAL 7987 now about on a level with city and county employes doing the same kind of work. . Addison Hewlett, Sr., chair man of the b oard of county com missioners, said that he would favor increases of $300 annually for the ABC board members, but not $600. He pointed out that the the only county employe mak ing more than $4,500 is the sheriff and “he works seven days a week, 24 hours a day. ABC Chairman MacMillan said that he welcomed the pro posal to meet with the members of the three boards on July 20, which was carried unanimously, and discuss the operation o f the stores. The meeting was moved from June to July to give the ABC board time to settle its bud get and clear up its end of the year accounts. No mention was made of op erating the stores until 9 p.m. instead of the present 6 p.m. at last nights session. Others attending the meeting were: Dr. James H. Smith and H. M. Roland, board of health; John T. Hoggard, E. L. Laney and James Craig, Jr., board of eduction. CHINA ELIMINATED (Continued From Page One) which is considering whether China should get help now. Bullitt, asserting that “while the government is arming our enemies, we refuse to arm our friends,” said arms for China should be given priority even over emergency aid to Italy, France and Austria. The bald, plain-spoken Phila delphian said the State Depart ment had “based its policy on the completely fatuous theoiy that the Soviet government is a peace-loving country and that the Chinese Communists are merely agrarian reformists hav ing no connection with Mos cow.” Noting that the department did not include China in its in terim foreign aid program, but promised to present a Chines? aid plan after the first of the year, Bullitt said “fortunately the State Department is now awake.” Fighting Communism Wedemeyer told the commit tee that this country’s aim should be “to retard, then to block, and then to penetrate back into those areas which have come under the orbit and influence of a power that has world power and world expan sion in its program.” He said it was “urgent” that Chiang be helped, adding it didn’t matter whether the Gen eralissimo is “a benevolent des pot, which he practically is.” What does matter. Wedemeyer said, is that Chiang is fighting Communism. Despite pressing from Chair man Bridges (R-NH), Wede meyer declined to tell the Sena tors what was in the report he made to Secretary of State Mar shall and the President after his inspection tour of China for the President last year. “As a soldier, my com mander-in - chief has directed me to maintain security on that report,” the general said firm ly White House sources disclosed meanwhile that an independent economic administration to run the proposed “Marshall pro gram” of long-range aid to Eu rope will oe recommended in Mr. Truman's message to Con gress tomorrow or Fridav. ANDERSON (Continued From Page One) 10-to-8 party - line committee vote, with the endorsement of Sen. Robert A. Taft's Senate GOP Policy committee. Anderson said that in any event he would be unable to de liver all of the records demand ed. He said the summons called for the names of all traders on 18 government - regulated com modity exchanges and for each transaction of those traders dur ing the last two years. It would take ‘20,000 em ployes” to dig up all that in formation, he remarked. J.M. Mehl, head of the Com modity Exchange Authority, who was present at Anderson’s news conference, told reporters the number of transactions in volved would “run into the bil lions” and would require exami nation of all brokers’ records. Anderson said that even if Congress passed a joint resolu tion “ authorizing” him to turn over the records, as he had sug gested, he would not plan to pre sent all of the records asked for in the subpena. He said the public apparently only wants‘to know about “gov ernment insiders and what other people are in the market.” WOMAN’S INSISTENCE LONDON, Dec. 17—(^—Bri tain’s highest court ruled today that a woman’s insistence that her husband use contraceptives does not mean he can have their marriage annulled. The five law lords of the house of lords laid down a decision against a Lon don laboratory worker who sought to have his marriage an nulled on the ground his wife’s refusel to permit sexual inter courses unless he used a contra ceptive was wilful refusal to con sumate marriage.

Y. —got up and announced that he reckoned his allowance for trav velling back and forth to the extra session would come to only $93. “They can have that,” he said, with a wave of his hand. More applause. “But,” he went on. “I think it is only a matter of fairness for members of Congress to re ceive their mileage. Let’s not be hypocrites about this.” Reps. Harold Knutson, R., Minn., and Pete Jarman, D., Ala., who live even farther from the capital, agreed with O'Toole. Knutson said his mileage came to $535. Jarman said he hasn’t calculated his. They said they were “dumb founded” when they discovered the House Appropriations com mittee had tacked the allow ances onto a supplemental ap propriation bill after lopping $88,000,000 off the foreign funds provided in the same bill. Rep. Walter C. Ploeser, R., Mo., said never mind all the ex pressions of surprise, the House had “a unanimity of opinion” about Wadsworthy’s proposed amendment. “The unanimity is against the amendment,” he said. PRINCIPALS URGE (Continued From Page One) and classroom teachers of Ra leigh had adopted similar reso lutions asking for a special ses sion. Has No Plans Govenor Cherry has said sev ! eral times that he would give I the resolutions “every consider 1 ation” but that he had no plan ! to call a special session in the “immediate future.” The principals, at their meet ing here today, said that they “strongly endorsed” the resolu | tions adopted by the superinten ! dents and by the NCEA board | of directors, and added: “We urgently request that Governor R. Gregg Cherry call a special session of the General Assembly to consider appropri ation of funds sufficient to meet the increased cost of living for school personnel and increased cost of operation of the public schools of the state. This action is taken with the full knowledge that the revenue is available and |sufficient to meet this need.” Those Attending Those attending the meeting were: E. M. Thompson of Bur gaw, president; O. E. Dowd of Greenville, G. L. Edwards of Durham. C. C. Linnemann of Burlington, J. G. Feezor of Rocky Mount, L. H. Swindell of Washington, Mrs. Margie Wilson of Washington, Mrs. Gussie Par ker of Clinton, R. G. Stephens of Louisburg, and Miss Mildred Mooneyhan of Chapel Hill. ARAB OFFICIALS -— (Continued From Page One) policeman was injured seriously last night when a volley of shots mowed them down in front of a Jewish cafe. One suspect was arrested, but his identity was not disclosed. High Commissioner Sir Alan Cunningham received Mrs. Goldie Mayerson, head of the Jewish Agency Political depart ment, who reportedly demanded that Transjordan King Abdul lah’s Arab Legionnaires be with drawn from Palestine and that the British take stronger securi ty measures in outlying areas of the Holy Land. At one outlying point — a Jew ish settlement in the nrrid Negev region of South Palestine —a party of British army of ficers and soldiers toured out posts and told settlers they had orders to help defend Negev settlements. District Quiet Telephone comrounicat ions were cut between Jerusalem and the Negev, scene of large-scale Arab attacks on tiny settle ments, but military reports in dicated the region was quiet. PROSECUTION (Continued From Page One) payment to the school account, was to the effect that Fritz had overlooked depositing it. Testimony regarding the ac tivities of Fritz and Mrs. Fritz during a period extending from Jan. 7 to Feb. 21, this year, was given by Mrs. Bruce Smith, a key state witness, who said that she had been employed by Fritz to work in the school office dur ing that period but that she ■had been discharged by Fritz later. Questioning of Paul Reid, con troller of the State Board of Ed ucation, had been started by the prosecution when tho trial was recessed for the day. Reid, whose name has frequently been mentioned in the State Board's investigation cf the fiscal setup at the Hudson school, was tell ing how the Stale Board allots school funds to counties when the recess was called. Teachers Testify Three school teachers form erly employed at Hudson, were asked if they -had seen Mrs. Fritz teaching at the school dur ing the year. Two of them, Mrs. Harriette Patton and Miss Lucy Powell, said they had no knowledge of her having taught, but the third one, Carl Thorn burg, Jr., now of Mecklenburg county, said that on one occa sion, he had seen her keeping a study hall. Thornburg testified he had received three checks, totalling $108.20, for extra work at the school. Asked if he had ever made a demand for such payment, he replied in the neg ative. On cross-examination he said it was necessary for teachers to perform extra work because a teacher shortage existed. The State called E. S. Harris cashier of the Bank of Lenoir, to testify regarding balances and deposits in the joint Fritz account. The account, which ranged from balances of $446.67 on Dec. 4, 1946, to $1,163.31 on June 26, 1947, was overdrawn at one time in December, Harris testified. Robinson Recalled Luther B. Robinson, county superintendent of education, was recalled to the stand by the prosecution and asked if he had authorized Fritz to pay regular teachers for extra work from state funds. He replied, T do not know of any . . . ”. About an hour was spent in further Questioning of Robinson and much of his testimony was along lines presented yesterday when he said that a teacher shortage in the county had caused his office to overlook certain state laws covering the employment of tea9hers. E. W. Smith, a Lenoir certi fied public accountant, testified that Fritz had been unable to give him requested information as to the time Mrs. Fritz, who was listed on payroll sheets as a teacher, had actually taught. Fritz, charged with obtaining $1,600 from the State under false pretense, has maintained that his wife and other teachers were paid for regular work to prevent a closing of classes at the school. Smith said that Mrs Fritz’ name had been listed on a school payroll for the ninth month last year as a teacher, but that she had returned a state voucher made out to her for that month with the explana tion that she had not taught dur ing that time. Fritz Explanation Smith said he asked Fritz for an explanation of this and was told that she actually had taught some that month but “felt” that a previous check—issued to her in March—had been “enough to cover services rendered in the ninth month ” The third day of tne trial was marked again by freauent verb al clashes between the eight lawyers who are representing both the State and the defense. Jurors were sent from the court room repeatedly as the at torneys argued legal technicali ties and directed laugh-provok ing criticism of one another over the techniques employed in questioning witnesses. Judge Allen H. Gwyn of Reidsville, the presiding jurist, at one time directed a soft voiced reprimand to the oppos ing legal batteries and remind ed the 350 spectators who again filled the big court room that “this is not a show—it is not intended to be a circus.” Reflecting their interest in public opinion surrounding the case, the lawyers clashed brief ly at one time over the press handling of the case, but there was no direct mention of any newspapers. Answering a de fense charge that the prosecu tion had failed to state a case, Solicitor James Farthing de clared, “I think he’s quoting a certain newspaper.” Both the prosecution and the defense denied they were “trying the case” in the public press. ER TO MAKE (Continued From Page One) had been sold to date from the 840-acre Val-Kill Farm, which he and his mother purchased from the Roosevelt estate. They went to dealers in greater New York, the Hudson Valley, Mas sachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey, at a price of 65 cents each in lots of 100. Young Roosevelt said he was devoting particular attention to the Christmas tree “plantation” and wihin seven years expects to be able to sell 100,000 trees annually.

Reggie said that each individ ual employe will be especially trained with preference being given veterans. Reggie will be in active charge of the factory, which will turn out only high-grade shoes, slated to be from 60 to 5 per cent hand made, with some types 100 per cent hand made. His son, Elmer Reggie, will be superintendent. Mrs. Valrea Chambers will be floor superin tendent in charge of the stitch ing department. Salesman for the Carolinas and Florida and eventually expanding from Ten nessee to Louisiana will be Mack Seely. The shoes manufactured here will be sold on an exclusive basis in better stores throughout the nation with only one store in each city having the fran chise, Reggie pointed out. Expressing appreciation for the cooperation of City Industri al Manager Henry E. Boyd, Sr., and Chamber of Commerce Secretary John H. Farrell, and other interested parties, Reggie said that it was largely through the efforts of those Wilmington citizens that he decided to lo cate here. Reggie started manufacturing shoes in Brooklyn in 1918 and continued there until 1929. He was with the Shelby Arch Preserver company in Ports mouth. Ohio, as designer and quality man and then went with the U. S. Shoe company (Red Cross shoes) at Chillcothe, t ;hio, as superintendent and designer. Later he was designer for Jo Jdel Style Studio. New York, de , signers for I. Miller and others | of the better type shoes. He also : studied shoe designing in ! France. ROCKY POINT (Continued From Page One) Craven was rushed to the hospi tal here in an ambulance sum moned from Burgaw by one of the workers on the Craven farm, Brown said. He was admitted to the hospital at 11:35 a. m. and the bullet was removed from his hip by the surgeon, who told Brown that it had passed through Craven’s liver, gall bladder and had severed his intestines in two places. Several blood transfusions were administered after the op eration. Sheriff Brown said that Cra ven’s father, J. P. Craven of Cast le Hayne who was at the home at the time of the shooting, told him that there “had not been much of an argument” prior to the shooting. Mrs. Craven, who before her marriage was Beulah Garner of New Hanover county, told the sherifff that her husband had been mistreating her for some time and that he had been “drunk a lot of the time.” She said that they had had an argument and that he was planning to leave her yesterday morning and that she was helping him pack before she “flew into a heat of passion” and shot him. She said that she thought her husband was going to a closet to get a .410- guage shotgun with which to assault her when she went to the kitchen cabinet, ob tained the pistol and shot him. She did it suddenly without rea lizing what she was doing and “didn’t i-ean to do it,” she told the sheriff. UNIONS (Continued From Page One) the company makes a “suitable settlement” of their demand for a 15-cent hourly pay raise for their 50.000 members. If a strike occured, it would tie up Western Union service every , where except in New York city. Company employes there are re presented by the American Com munication Association (CIO). A spokesman for the three AFL groups said their representatives will attend Friday’s conference but “have little hope a settlement can be reached.” Because of British export re strictions rubber prices jumped from 10 cents a pound in 1920 to $1.23 a pound in 1925. PEOPLE CALL (Continued From Page One) gas on down to the crudest oils.” . ,, “The government cant ao anything about it. It’s something the industry has got to do, said Max Ball, director of the In terior Department’s gas and oil division. He said the oil shortage per haps hit North Carolina earlier and harder but “there’s scarcity everywhere, and the state is in about the same fix as the East coast generally.” ^ Companies Wired The North Carolina Congress men immediately telegraphed major oil companies which served North Carolina as fol lows: “We would greatly appreciate some statement from your com pany as to whether or not you have any suggestion or can do anything to relieve the serious fuel oil shortage in North Caro lina.” In a statement after the con ference the Congressmen said: “It is apparent there is no agency of government empow ered to exercise control over distribution of oil products by the oil companies of the United States.” It is also clear Jhat the present consumption of oil is far in excess of production. It is ap parent desired relief (from shortages within the state) could and should be furnished by the oil companies who have heretofore supplied North Caro lina, coupled with the coopera tion on the part of the people to economize in the use of avail able supplies. “Imports are slightly above our exports. If exports should be cut off it would not relieve the present situation. “It was the expressed inten tion of the delegation to con tinue efforts in trying to allevi ate the present shortage of oil in North Carolina.'' Price Is Key Rep. Deane (D-NC) told a re porter “the price structure is the key to bringing additional supplies to North Carolina. Oil sells in Texas for about the same price it does in North Car olina.” Parks Gwaltney, of Durham, president of the North Carolina Oil Jobbers Association, told the conference: “prices are high enough. The differential is t o o small between East coast and the Gulf with fuel oil this week selling for 8.1 cents a gallon in Gulf ports and 8.65 at Wilming ton, N.C.” Rep. Redden (D-NC) asked him “if ten or eleven cents would get fuel oil, hadn’t we bet ter pay it,” and Gwaltney re plied “if a man’s freezing, he doesn’t ask the price of oil for his fire.” Gwaltney said 200 new homes in Durham, for instance, had had no heat for the past five days. “They should have bought coal stoves, perhaps. It’s a criti cal situation,” the oil dealer ad ded. Don t Want Control Gwaltnev said “no one in the oil i: dus ry wants go i/ernment control, it would make greater confusion,” but the gov r rent “perhaps” could help by mak ing available tank cars, and oils reported in storage at ports like Norfolk, Wilmington and Charleston, and by limiting tanks car hauls to 150 or 200 miles. He said if enough oil came to North Carolina by way of tank ers or pipe lines, it would be distributed to consumers, ad ding “there is no transportation problem within the state.” Raymond S. McKeough, U.S.N. a member of the Mari time Commission, said tankers the Congressmen reported tied up at Wilmington “will be re moved as an eyesore soon” be cause an order of last week al lows sale of all tankers “we have.” Arthur Gass, of the office of defense transportation, told the group that taking tank cars or tankers from the army for ci vilians would “be at the sacri fice of training of aviation and mechanized artillery.” MEN BURN SHOES (Continued From Page One) tered the swamp in search ©f game early Sunday. Their boat was quickly swamped and since then they had waged a continu ou sbattle against the raging wa ters. In a delirium caused partly by exhaustion and partly by the joy of unexpected rescue the two hunters related how they waded for many hours—“it must have been two days, Brown said—through water coursing around their necks until finally they found a spit of high ground. They finally dried out their shoes and a few matches which they found in their clothing and built a small smudge fare with the shoes as fuel, they said. The fire attracted a plane which then sighted the ma rooned hunters and plotted their location so the boat party could go in to get them. They were brought to Mil ledgeville but neither required hospitalization and both went to Browns home where a doctor administered stimulants while they told their story. SHOOTS FOOT J. E. Clemmons, 25, of 10H Nesbit Courts, was being treated at Bullock’s Hospital clinic last night for gunshot wounds in the right foot after shooting himself accidentally while hunting at Wrightsville Sound yesterday af ternoon. It was reported that Clemmons J propped his shotgun with the ] muzzle resting on his foot when { it discharged accidentally, mangl- i ing the foot. j City Briefs John Fox, president of the Civitan club, said yesterday that the club will hold its regular meeting Tuesday afternoon at 1 o’clock in the Crystal restaurant instead of Wednesday as prev iously scheduled. The members held a business session at their weekly meeting yesterday in stead of the scheduled football movie which was canceled. Seventeen Southeastern North Carolina men enlisted for three years service in the U. S. Navy during December with four en listing in the past week, accord ing to James Paradise, station commander. Enlisting in the last week were: Lewis V. Costin. Odell T. Rich, Joseph P. Bor deau. and William F. Hunt. Lt. Henry Bost, district repre sentative of the Naval Reserve, said yesterday that accomodations are available for training 10 of ficers and 100 enlisted reserves on the U. S. S. Pocono which will include 117 days of underway training. He also said that Re servists may file their applica tion in the Naval Reserve office in the Custom House if they wish to serve on the crew aboard the PC776 to assist the ships com pany in the overhaul of the ves sel. The James A. Manley Post of the VFW voted unanimously last night to purchase a $25 Christ mas TB bond from the New Han over county health department. Emmett Bellamy, former presi dent of the Health Tuberculosis association spoke briefly on the fight against TB in New Han over county and North Carolina. SENATE VOTES (Continued From Page One) system for industrywide alloca tion of scarce materials, continue some wartime controls on ex ports and transportation, and al low the President to regulate grain consumption by distillers during January. Installment buying controls, ] known during the war as Regula tion W administered by the Federal Reserve Board, expired Nov. 1. They required down pay ments of one-third and final pay ments within 15 months cn re tail purchases of most consum ers durable goods. They did not affect retail charge accounts.

Any reader knowing of such a ship is invited to submit such material to Along The Cape Fear. Fast Police Work J. R. Avery. Jr., high school student who lives at 214 Orange street, ran into some fast police work when he went to police headquarters to report theft of his Cushman motor scooter last night. He found that Officer L. R. Bell had already recovered the scooter, which he found in the 00 block of Dock street in the early hours of the morning yesterday. The scooter was stolen sometime during the night Tuesday, and Avery made his report at 8:45 p. m.
