Bobby’s condition is not believ ed to be serious and he spent a comfortable night at the hospital, it was learned this morning. MEN _ * Starts On Page One overwhelming approval of the charter.” He declared that “re servations or limitations of any description to the United Nations charter must be understood as simply an attempt to defeat its enactment.” EARLY REPORT Chairman Connally (D-Texi forecast a favorable committee re port either tonight or tomorrow morning. Although he advocated early adoption of the charter, Thomas voiced the view that “the great est single and immediate contribu tion the American government could make” toward peace “would be a speedy end of the war with Japan on a statement of terms which would indeed provide ade quate guarantees against renewal of Japanese aggression x x x.” He said these terms at the same time should “offer hope, not only to the Japanese people but to the hundreds of millions of Asiatics we seem to be about to restore— at terrible cost to ourselves — to white empires, British. French and Dutch.” Dunes saia me iw uccu think that it was voting only “on the lesser of two evils” in ratify ing the charter. “Actually,” Dulles said, “the do cument before you charts a path which we can follow joyfully and without fear. We remain the mas ter of our own destiny. The char ter doe* not subordinate us to any super-government. "There i* no right on the part of the United Nations organization to intervene in our domestic af fairs. There can be no use of our force without our consent. If the Joint adventure fails, we can with draw.” against it Cart H. Mote, of Indianapolis, Ind., spoke against the charter. He said he represented Gerald L. K. Smith, the American First Party, the National Farms Guild and the Veterana of World War Two. Chairman Connally challenged Mote’s right to appear for the Veterans, declaring “most of them aren't home yet.” Mote said the charter ‘is void of all moral basis.” Alfred Lillenthal, veteran of this war and a consultant at 8an Fran cisco, told the committee the men in the armed forces expect peace keeping machinery to be set up and when they return they will “help you make it work.” ALTMEYER NOMINATED WASHINGTON, July 13 —<*> President Truman has nominated Arthur J.

Price Correction In our Aavertisement on t».natham Blankets in Thursday's issue of The Star the price of Chatham "Wool shire" blankets (described be low) was listed, through er ror. at $9.95. The Correct Price Is STATE GUARD IS AT FORTBRAGG Advanced Detail Left Tuesday, Remainder This Morning Members of Shelby's State Guard Company left this morning for Fort Bragg and a 10-day summer encampment for army training. Lieut. Casey Morris headed the group, an advance detail including Capt. H. S. Plaster, Lt. Max Ham rick and Major Clyde T. Wright having gone to Fort Bragg Tues day. The advance group has been re ceiving special training prior to arrival of the regular companies, under direct tutelage of regular Army personnel. They will relay the course to the company enlist ed men, with some Army supervi sion for that part of the encamp ment. ARMY DISCIPLINE While in camp the men will be entirely subject to Army discipline and will live in the barracks and mess by battalions. All food is furnished by the Army and the boys are looking forward to some fine steaks. They will remain until July 22. An interesting training schedule is anticipated, one which is entire ly different from those of the past two years, when the guard com panies were trained to serve in case of possible enemy invasion. j This year the emphasis will be on j guard duty and special operations, ■ such as quelling of riots, maintain ing order in case of disasters, and other peacetime activities for com munity protection. The men will spend at least one day on the range for rifle practice, which will be emphasized this year. IN READINESS Brigadier General John T. Ken nedy, at Fort Bragg, has stated that all is in readiness for the ar rival of the North Carolina men to day. Training will be directed by Col. Albert M. Jackson. The pre sent encampment will be the fourth ; held at Fort Bragg, with the ob ject of preparing the men for whatever missions might be as signed them by the governor. The state guard is the organized militia of the state of North Caro lina and the police force upon which the state depends in the absence of the National Guard for the preservation of order and the protection of life and property within its borders. Already an ef fective force, the guard will devote more time to advanced work this year than in the past. PILOT Start* On Pip One umbia, credited Captain G. D. Davis, of Miami, the pilot, with saving their lives. She said she noticed the army plane “veering in toward us from our left” and added that ”1 think I saw it about three seconds be fore we crashed.” "There was no panic at all among the passengers after the col lision or during the 15 or 20 sec onds it took the pilot to bring us down to a gentle landing,” said Mrs. Walker, who was hospitalised at Florence, S. C., after being shaken up. Captain Davis and Capt. N. L. Martindale, co-pilot, said the col lision occurred as the transport was losing altitude preparatory to landing at Columbia. Davis said neither he, the co-pilot nor any of the passengers saw the twin engined army plane until just be fore the crash. FLIERS KILLED The army fliers killed w'ere listed as Cpl. Robert B. Clapp and Cpl. Raleigh B. Allbaugh, jr., both of Oklahoma City, Okla. A third oc cupant of the army plane para chuted to aafety. The army with held his name.

Towering seas crushed 25 feet of the carrier Hornet's flight deck and badly damaged several destroyers, other correspondents reported. PLANES WRECKED Planes on one small escort carrier “were flipped around like beanbags, tossed into the air end over end and piled in a Jumbled heap of wreck age," said Associated Press Corres pondent Grant MacDonald.

SECOND BLOW The Nimitz announcement did not specify where the typhoon struck the Third fleet for the second time in six months but presumably it was in the western Pacific area between Okinawa and the Philippines. This area is known as the western Pacific “typhoon cradle” where un predictable violent storms zigzags in a generally northerly or northeas terly typhoon path. Last December 18 another typhoon struck the Third fleet between the Philippines and the Marianas and >> J HOEY Starts On Fail On* by the Senate next week and he predicted its adoption after a few weeks of discussion and ana lysis. "The result is a foregone conclusion,” he declared. “There is no organised opposition. The charter represents the hopes and aspirations of 50 nations for world peace. There is no choice—it is either adopt this charter or face another war— and the whole world is weary of war.” UNITV AMONG NATIONS Senator Hoey said: "The fact that fifty nations, speaking different languages, and with varying customs and ideologist,, could reach an agreement upon the basic principles of a tribunal to settle controversies and maintain peace among the nations, is a tre mendous achievement and speaks volumes for the unity of these na tions concerning the vital question of preventing war by adjusting dif ferences and restraining aggressors before the conflict begins. “We have learned much in the past quarter of a century. Today there is unity in America touching this charter and we have the in spiring spectacle of a whole nation rallying to the standard of world peace with genuine enthusiasm and unselfish dedication. "America will be among the first nation to ratify the charter. I covet for her this distinction, and I would have her demonstrate her leader ship in all forward movements for the stabilization of our own coun try and the world following the winning of the war. ABIDING CONFIDENCE "We have many problems to solve, but I do not believe that there is any reasons for discouragement or ground for pessimism in connection with the future of our nation. I have abiding confidence in the com mon sense and innate honesty of the masses of our people. We know more than we have ever known before. We are better informed and we are able to analyze our situation and determine just what is wrong with it and what should be done to remedy the ills which affect our country. "The readjustment period follow ing the war will require real states manship. Problems must be consid ered and dealt with in the light of public interest and for the promo tion of the public good. Pressure groups must be made to realize that the public good is paramount to any special claims or selfish demands and we must deal with and settle controversies in this rarified atmos phere of patriotic devotion to the principles for which our men in the armed services have been giv ing their all. LABOR LAWS “Fair ana just laws should De passed to prevent monopoly In bus iness or labor, and to guarantee and protect the rights of the little man in business, industry, or labor. Some national method should be deviaed to settle industrial disputes, espe cially those affecting the public weal, like coal, milk, public utili ties and other really essential ac tivities. The intelligent and fair minded men in industry and labor should be able to work out a solu tion of their problems in the light of fairness and justice to all. “With a clearing up of some of these matters and reasonable relief in taxes following the close of the war, I believe America will enter upon a period of unprecedented prosperity which will be more gen erally shared by all groups of our people than at any time in our whole past history.’’ Charles I.
