MAILING LIGHT FOR OVERSEAS A considerable number o: Christmas packages have beer mailed at the Shelby postoffice tc overseas relatives and friends ir service since the mailing period opened a week ago, but the total is tar below that similar period last year. Postmaster R. M. Laugh ridge said today. Postal authorities have askea relatives of service men now over seas not to mail such packages if there is prospect of their overseas sons, brothers, husbands or sweet hearts returning to the States be fore Christmas. Army authorities also have ask ed that the people at home as certain whether the recipient will be overesas at Christmas time be fore the packages are mailed. The mailing period lasts for one month until October 15. HIROHITO Starts On Pare One that the president of the Philip I ies reluctantly complained It was responsible for a threatening re lief crisis in his commonwealth. The president, Sergio Osmena, messaged MacArthur from Manila that army movements toward Ja pan have’ tied up docking space and truck transportation. Those plans called for the tak ing over today of Japan's naval base at Sasebo on western Kyu shu by the U. S. Fifth Marine division, heroes of Iwo Jima. Ad vance elements of the Fifth Am phibious Corps occupied the air field at atom-bombed Nagasaki. 30 miles south of Sasebo, yester day. From another atom-bombed area, Hiroshima, came word that more than 100,000 Japanese in the pre fecture were left homeless by the typhoon earlier this week. It add ed to the plight of a bomb-blast ed nation which has been told her millions must work out their own salvation. (Ted Dealey, president of the Dallas, Tex., Morning News, said MacArthur told him during Dea ley’s recent visit to Japan “the Japs will have a hard enough time eating for the next 25 years, much less having the leisure and mate rials to build up for another war.”) MacArthur's new order for de mobilization of the naval police, like ail MacArthur orders, auto matically became a legal Japanese government order by a process just approved by the Nipponese privy council. (Discussing this new means of strengthening MacArthur's legal control over the Japanese govern ment, a Washington dispatch said diplomatic officials there believe Emperor Hirofcito soon will fulfill his obligations and quit his throne in favor of a regency for his son, Akinito.) Evacuation of more than 9.000 American. Emish, Dutch, Austra lian, Canadian and Javanese pris oners of ivar, recently liberated from 17 camps on Kyushu, was completed today. They were clear ed through the atom-bombed port of Nagasaki. Many were ^rvivors of Corregidor and Bataan.

Canning after today will be done only by appointment. * Whole Detroit Transportation System Tight DETROIT, Sept. 22 —OP)— A complete shutdown In transporta tion threatening the nation’s au tomotive capital today climaxed a week of labor troubles idling some 86,000 workers. The city faced a gasoline-less week, unless there is a break in the strike of the International Oil Workers (CIO.) Approximately 65 percent of the 3,400 gasoline service stations posted “empty tanks” signs. The others, a dealers’ association re ported, would be closed by Mon day, halting private automobiles and trucks. The municipal transportation system, already taxed to the limit by a shortage of bus drivers, cur tailed some services. With only a five-day supply of gasoline on hand, more bus runs were expect- 1 ed to be withdrawn. TAXIS LIMITED Taxicabs offered only limited service. Meanwhile, the deadlocked auto mobile industry-labor trouble — no closer to a solution—saw two more plants shut down. At Windsor, Ont., where 10.000 Ford Motor company of Canada workers remained on strike for the 13th day, a mass meeting of local 200. UAW-CIO, was called for Sunday afternoon. Chrysler corporation closed its Dodge truck plant, management said 40 to 50 pickets representing local 140. UAWr-CIO. barred 800 employes from entering the fac tor'- yesterday. BEN'DIX STRIKE Zenith carburetor division of Bendix Aviation corporation also closed, management sending home 1.600 workers because of a strike of 40 foremen. There w-ere no developments in the strike of 4.500 Kelsey-Hayes j Wheel company employes, which contributed to the closing down of Ford Motor company plants and idling 50.000 employes. Nor were there changes in the disputes at the Murray corpora tion of America, Hudson Motor Car company and at other plants. | CAP To Get New Trainer Planes CHARLOTTE. Sept. 22—</Pi—Lt. Col. Frank E. Dawson. North Car olina wing comander of the Civil j Air Patrol, assured the Charlotte j Cadet flight last night that the PT-17 trainer planes turned over to the CAP by the army air forces should be delivered in the next j few' days. Furthermore, now that the war j is over additional training aids will be turned over to CAP by the AAF, of which the patrol is auxil iary, Col. Dawson said. He added ! that CAP will operate with a larg er scale training program than in the past. Wright To Be Consecrated Oct. 5 WILMINGTON, Sept. 22 —(jp,— The Rev. Thomas H. Wright, D. D., native of Wilmington and for merly rector of St. Mark’s Epis copal church, Corpus Christi, Texas, will be consecrated bishop of the diocese of east Carolina at St. James' Episcopal church here Oct. 5.

Rev. Thomas C. Darst, D.D., 1 retired. MINISTERS ' Starts On Pagt One treaties were discussed, with So- 1 viet proposals as a basis, and that . British and U. S. views were be- " ing considered. The ministers are scheduled to decide today whether the entire Bulgarian- Y ugoslav border should be outlined in the treaty for Bui- ! garia or only frontiers on which important alterations are made. 1 There appears to be no hurry to finish the treaties and this ] session is expected to break up next week. The detailed work, perhaps by the ministers’ deputies, , would be possible between ses sions. The ministers yesterday skipped completely the Greek claims on Bulgaria because the Russians re- j fused to listen to the present Greek government, with which they are dissatisfied, and the wes tern allies refused to negotiate , with the present Bulgarian re- i gime.

EPES Starts On Page On* more effective drug than sodium seconal if he had wanted to kill his wife; and that he would have dis posed of the box of capsules and other evidence. ARMY DISCHARGE The rotund lawyer electrified the bobbysox crowded courtroom when he dramatically turned to Epes and shouted: "Stand Up!" Epes, who had been looking down at the desk in front of him, im passively listening to details of his wife's grotesque burial, rose from his chair. "Look at his uniform", the lawyer said. “The Army has given him an honorable discharge.” Epes, pale from months in a pris on cell ar.d with dark circles under his eyes, stood a few moments, then sat down again at the defense coun sel desks. His parents and 16-year-old sis ter were sitting directly behind him. The Epes lamily, Bremner con tinued, loved their daughter-in law. She had, he said, stayed in their home many times. "They love her now," the lawyer family friend said. Bremner said that if Lt. Epes were a guilty man, he would have had plenty of time to have destroy ed a trail of evidence. LED TO GRAVE It was fwo weeks between the time Epes reported his wife mysterious ly missing an dthe day, swathed in bandages from self-inilicted razor wounds, he led police to the lonely grave. His wife, a short time before, had quit her school teacher joo in Jack sonville. Fla., and had come here to live with her husband while he awaited overseas service. The state s attorneys argued that ,f Epes had soon gone overseas his 'nearly perfect crime" would never lave been discovered. On the other hand. Attorney Broome posed this question to the jury: "In the name of God, why would iny man choose that time—a time vhen he is going overseas, probably lever to return—to kill his wife? He wouldn't.” EVIDENCE REVIEWED Solicitor T. Pou Taylor, making he closing argument for the pro lecution, told the jury that the ‘foxhole boys overseas are watching his foxhole case." He said the evidence showed Epes ibtained, prescribed and gave his vife from 13 to 20 sodium seconal ablets and added: "No man would permit his wife o take these in any such amount, f she did, he would call a physician is quickly as possible.” The state has contended that drs. Epes, who was fully clothed, nay have been still alive when she vas buried in the foxhole. "Epes,” Solicitor T. Pou Taylor old the jury, "has said they had etired that night But when the >ody was exhumed she was fully clothed, even to shoes." Lt. Epes, in a statement, to offi cers, said he gave his wife the seda ive capsules to ease her menstrual )ains. Solicitor Taylor reviewed the tes imony of state’s witnesses that Mrs. Epes did not ordinarily suffer from nenstrual pain. TWO Starts On Page One •frs.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I am writing this with a terrible ache in my heart. I have been de pressed and unhappy for over a year. I am a girl 3i and for the past six years I have been going with a man who is now 29. I have clung to the hope that we would be married some day, but the way things are going I think it will never be. He has dependents and it seems he can’t decide between them and me. I had a child by him, deliv ered stillborn, and I went through it all without complaint, but even then he never mentioned mar riage to me. Now I can’t throw off depression, and thoughts of the baby and him are always on my mind. I don’t believe he. loves me, although he says he does. He is terribly selfish and I can't please him in any way, no matter how hard I try, and there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for him. But I can’t bear the strain much longer. I am awfully ner vous and my health is breaking in every way. When we are togeth er now we do nothing but hurt each other’s feelings and the pain of it is killing me. Is it best to try to forget him altogether and bury the past? Please help me.— M. P. SHE INVITES MISTREATMENT DEAR M. P.: So long as you are willing to invite and put up with such disgraceful treatment you don’t deserve and better. And until you stop acting like a wo man hypnotized by a snake, and dying the slow death of convulsive agony such victims are supposed to die (according to hair-raising legend p, you will continue to suf fer, more every day, and to sink more deeply into despair. Until you show some backbone some willingness to face facts and act accordingly, some real desire to outgrow this evil attachment (soul-suffocating to both), nobody can help you. As smelling salts for your mind, I offer these max ims: 1. “There are none so blind as those who will not seed” 2. "Actions speak louder than words.” 3. “The Lord helps those who help themselves.” SORDID BOND SPUN BY HER It takes two to create a bond so sordid; yet of the two, as I get the picture, you are more to blame for all you have endured and for the penalties you still are paying. You have invested six years in a luckless campaign to become the wife of this selfish male who, his actions prove, never has been more man scccncaruy interestea; — that is, only negligently respon sive to your fervor, without feeling any incentive or registering any intention ’o marrv you. Should you forget him altogeth er and bury the past? You should indeed. The sharpness of my tone is inspired by concern for you be came psychologically you are in a critical condition and sorely in need, at this very minute, of med ical care and spiritual support to help you to your feet and start you on the road to personal salvation and a life worth living. Get a good doctor's prescription for year nerves—sedative or tonic, or both, as necessary. And read "Power Through Constructive Thinking," by Emmet Fox (published by Har per & Brothers), to regain nor mal perspective. I will wager that this man would be on his knees to you, offering marriage, if within the year a head you were to break with him completely and establish honor able friendship with some decent chap who was warmly devoted to you. But when that day dawns. I hope for your sake that you will send him packing.—M. H. Mary Haworth counsels through her column; not by mail or per sonal interview.

C. — The Cherokee 1 county Board of Education ruled yesterday that five families resid ing within Holly Grove school dis trict No. 8, are entitled to send their children to the Blacksburg grammar school, in District No. 9. The board, in issuing its ruling, held that small lots in the No. 9 district constituted bona fide property ownership which is required by law before pupils may transfer from one district to an other. Holly Grove district trustees op posed the transfer because the loss of the approximately one dozen pu pils involved would decrease the Holly Grove student body to such an extent that State aid could not be obtained for more than one I teacher.

These Women War Frees Jap Women From Old Restrictions By ADELAIDE KERR (/P) Newsfeaturcs Writer Japanese now m the United States say the Nipponese wo-i man's war activities on farm, lac tory and fighting line have done much to free her from her old po sition, which was virtually that of man’s slave. They expect, to see her much more active in careers and poli tics in the postwar world and even to win the right to vote in the next 25 years. Those who ex press that opinion are chiefly i dentified with educational fields.1 None of them want to be quoted. They are in the United States as enemy aliens and under injunc tion not to talk. But what they say sums up to this: “The position of Japanese women already had begun to change before the war. Dur ing the war they produced most of the country's food and much of its weapons and even fought in battle. After the war a certain number of them can be expected to exert themselves in education. liter ature, art, birth control, the labor movement and the wo man’s suffrage movement. Before the war Japanese women were considered generally to be the unhappiest, most restricted women in the modern world. Their whole lives were bent on serving and pleasing men. Their marriages generally were arranged by family or marriage, broker and many of them saw their husbands only once or twice before marriage. Once married, a Japanese wife had to wait on her husband when he dressed, scrub him in the bath, bow low before him when he left and entered the INUMKhK Starts On Page One ened the motor city because of the spreading strike of CIO oil workers. Mayor Edward J. Jeffries urged President Truman to order federal labor officials to give highest prior ity to the critical situation. Only 35 .per cent of Detroit's gaso line service stations were opeiied and a gasoline dealer's association said the others would be closed by Monday. Taxicabs gave only limited service and the municipal transpor tation curtailed some services. .More than a score of refineries and plants were closed by the strike of oil workers, idling more than 21, 500 employees in Texas, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio. Illinois, Ohio and West Virginia. Ten plants had shut down in Texas and at least 15,500 were off their jobs as they struck for a 30 per cent wage boost, and other concessions. Seven plants were shut down in Port Arthur and workers in other Texas cities had voted to strike. Toledo was on a rationing plan for essential users of motor fuel as four refineries closed, while some 5,006- workers were off the Job in eight plants and refineries in the Chicago-Northern Indiana area.

The union charged employers with failures to enter into negotia tions and the "industry-wide strike requested by the workers recently" was called. A strike would affect j AFL operations in Oregon, Wash j ington and parts of Idaho, Montana t and California. A second strike threat came from ' New York City by the CIO trans port workers union.

But gradually the picture be gan to change, partly as a result of Japan’s activity in the outside world after World War I. Japan now has a number of women doctors, lawyers, teach ers and dentists. Japanese women also have worked in agriculture. fishing, mining, traffic and industry.
