TThe Hljelhy Baily thr CLEVELAND COUNTY’S NEWSPAPER SINCE 1894 TELEPHONES 1100 - State Theatre Today - “EASY TO LOOK AT” GLORIA JEAN KIRBY GRANT VOL. XLIII-233 ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWS SHELBY, N. a FRIDAY, SEPT. 28, 1945 TELEMAT PICTURES SINGLE COPIES—Be Truman Proclaims U. S. Jurisdiction Over Coastal ‘Oil Shelf CONSERVATION FISHERY ZONES ALSO SETUP Order Lays Claim To Na tural Resources Of Con< tinental Shelf INTERNATIONAL VIEW WASHINGTON, Sept. 28— (fP)—President Truman today issued proclamations assert ing United States jurisdiction over oil resources of the con tinental shelf below waters bordering all coasts. Two companion orders were is-' •ued. One reserved the natural re-j sources of the continental shelf under the high seas and placed them under the jurisdiction of the secretary of the interior. The other provided for es tablishment. under recom mendation of the interior and State departments, of fishery conservation zones in arras of the high seas contiguous to the United States coast. Petroleum geologists believe that portions of the continental shelf beyond the three mile limit con tain valuable oil deposits, a White House statement said. “The study of sub-surface structures associated with oil de posits which have been discovered along the Gulf Coast of Texas, for! Instance, indicate that correspond-1 ing deposits may underlie the off shore or submerged land," the statement said. OIL COASTS "The trend of oil-productive salt domes extends directly into the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas coast. "Oil is also being taken at pres ent from wells within the three mile limit off the Coast of Cali fornia. It is quite possible, geo logists say, that the oil deposits extend beyond this traditional lim it of national jurisdiction.” . The statement said that the proclamation by the President is concerned solely with establishing the jurisdiction of the United States from an international stand point and does not touch on the question of federal versus state control.

Choice Of United Nations City Between Geneva, San Francisco ] LONDON, Sept. 28. —(/P)— The i choice of a permanent seat for the ’ United Nations organization nar- ' rowed today to a probable choice > between Geneva and San Francisco. An informant close to the new 1 world security league’s executive ‘ , committee said the group was study- I ing recommendations outlining > physical requirements for locating the international organization, ^ ^ U. S., Britain, Russia Are In Deadlock By Flora Lewis LONDON, Sept. 28.—(fP)— Despite Russian insistence that France and China be ex cluded from discussions of Balkan peace treaties, inform- ; ed observers said today the question might revert to the full conference of foreign ministers unless an American British-Russian procedural deadlock could be broken. The foreign ministers of the Big Three powers, U. S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, Soviet For eign Commissar Vyacheslav M. Molotov and British Foreign Sec retary Ernest Bevin, have been conferring on the procedure for drafting treaties with Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria in an at tempt to reach some measure of | agreement before the council is adjourned. Some officials acknowledged j that the procedural impasse arose when the Russians felt they were i fighting a four-to-one battle for, Balkan influence, and wanted to | reduce the number of adversaries.! 5-NATION PRINCIPLE Some delegates said the Russian argument, based on the decision at Potsdam that armistice signa tories should draw up the treaties, was a good one, but added that the others were reluctant to aban don the five-nation principle. Supported by the British and Americans, the French bitterly protested the Russian attitude. The Greek government added a complication last night by an nouncing reparations claims of $2, 677,063,000 against Italy, which it said would be pressed at the peace conference. The United States attitude has been that reparations claims against Italy should be waived. Armed Chinese Seize German Business Firms In Shanghai SHANGHAI, Sept. 28. —W— Armed Chinese troops today seized several German business firms, and placed guards outside the majority of houses and flats occupied by Ger mans in a step reported as prelimi nary to interning all Germans in Shanghai.

Howard McGrath of Rhode Island as solicitor general of the jus tice department. Press Secretary Charles G. Ross announced today the selection of McGrath to succeed Charles Fahy, who resigned. Gov.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—(IP)— A giant C-54 thunders eastward aver the Atlantic late today, open ing the first regular world-gird ling schedule. It will carry to tiigh adventure seven men and a woman who will be guinea pigs as well as observers on the 23,147 mile flight. Taking off at 5 p.m., EWT, from Washington national airport, the 10-passenger Douglas Skyma^er of ;he U. S. army air transport com mand heads first for Bermuda. Then, after a one-hour stop, it wings on to the Azores, to North Africa, to Egypt, to India, to China and back home again—in 151 hours—by way of the Philip pines, Honolulu and tiny Pacific isles made sacred by the blood of American fighting men. “THE GLOBESTER” Planes of the A. T. C. have cir cled the world many times. This schedule, “The Globester,” will be the first continuous “round the world service. And more than the mere novelty of the effort is wrap ped up in the inaugural journey. _ See GLOBESTER Pace I FRESH LABOR DISPUTE PILES UP TROUBLES Strike Of 6,000 Textile Workers In N. J. Closes 70 Plants 68,000 "AFFECTED By The Associated Press New storm warnings were hoisted along the country’s labor front today as a fresh major dispute threatened to force more than a half million workers off their jobs. The newest controversy centered on the walkout of 6,000 textile workers in the Paterson, N. J., area, which closed 70 plants. A CIO union official said the walk out would mean that within 24 hours 68,000 additional workers would be forced from their jobs in 214 plants in nine eastern and southern states. He further pre dicted the shutdowns would idle approximately a half million gar ment workers. In event c? this development, the number of workers idle be cause on strikes and shutdowns over labor disputes would soar past the two million mark, including 1.500,000 affected indirectly by the New York City building service strike. Country, strikes and shutdowns kept some 370,000 persons away from their jobs, and with the New York City idle the total number affected touched around 1,870,000, OIL STRIKE DELAYED Meanwhile, the threatened na tionwide strike by 250,000 CIO oil workers was delayed. After meet ing three days in Chicago, princi pals in the conciliation confer ence moved to Washington to re sume their efforts tomorrow to effect a settlement in the dispute over wage demands and of the 13-day old strike of some 35,000 workers in eight states. The move to Washington was suggested by Secretary of La bor Schwellenbach. The union is asking for a 30 per cent wage rate increase and in three days of negotiations in Chicago the conference was deadlocked. The 6,000 workers who walked out in the textile printing and dyeing plants in the Paterson area, members of the CIO Federa tion of Dyers, Finishers, Printers and Bleachers of America, are de manding, said a union spokesman, a 15 cents an hour increase to make up for lpss of pay caused See FRESH Page 2 r THE REV.

Japs Suspected Of Massacre Of Allied Prisoners A re Sought By Russell Brines TOKYO, Sept. 28.—(/P)—General MacArthur today ord ered the U. S. Eighth Army to seize 34 Japanese officers and men suspected of complicity in the fiendish massacre of Allied prisoners of war at Palawan in the Philippines, Dec. ii, iy44. More than 100 prisoners, many of them Americans, were herded into a large air raid shelter. Buck ets of gasoline and lighted torches were tossed in upon them. A few escaped, only to be mowed down by machineguns or hand grenades, or brutally bayoneted by their cap tors. The Japanese ordered ar rested range in rank from sergeant to lieutenant colonel Oie Satoshi, presumably in command of the “murder de tail.” Supreme allied headquarters to day rejected Japan’s plea for 260, 000 tons of her own shipping to return disarmed Japanese soldiers from outside the empire — assur ing considerable delay in return ing many thousands of the enemy veterans. Japan’s merchant marine is in rickety shape at best, headquar ters explained, and General Mac Arthur decided that such a great tonnage could not be spared from more vital tasks connected with maintenance of health and mini mum living standards of the civil ian population. Shipping is ur gently needed, for instance, if foodstuffs are to be imported from the Asiatic mainland to avert threatening winter famine. MacArthur earlier today forbade reopening of the Japanese stock exchange, but permitted reopening of factories to manufacture some goods in limited quantities. Leaders of the workmen mean while met to form a new Socialist party, and the reported reorgani zation of several war-defunct la See JAPS Page 2 Smith Pleads For Y. M. C. A. In Shelby Civic Clubs, In Joint Meeting, Hear Y.M.C.A. Secre tary In Talk On Community Center A frank plea for the establishment of a Y.M.C.A. in Shelby was made by J. Wilson Smith, of Charlotte, secre tary of the interstate Y.M.C.A. committee for the Carolinas at a combined meeting of all civic clubs at the Hotel Charles last night. The local Kiwanis club was host to the other clubs and had arranged the meeting as a prelude to the campaign to raise an additional $100,000 for the community center which will begin in November. Mr. smith -was presented by Prank Sherrill, prominent bust-! ness man of Charlotte, who said that on account of growing up in Shelby, because his mother lives here and because his father is buried here, he regards it as his hometown. He indicated his deep interest in the project for im proving the recreational facilities of the city. Mr. Sherrill was in turn presented by J. D. Lineberger who was introduced by H. L. Toms, chairman of the program. Mason Carroll presided as toastmaster after Reid Misenheimer, president of the Kiwanis club had opened the meeting. Athos Rostan, president of IVe Lions club, introduced the presi dent of each organization partici pating in the meeting and their members. LONG-STANDING “If you put a Y.M.C.A. in Shel by”, Began Mr. Smith, “you will be tied up with the oldest welfare organization in existence. The Y.M.C.A. is now 101 years old, having been established in London in 1844. “You will not only be tied up with the oldest welfare organiza tion but you will be affiliating with a world-wide organization, branches of the YM.C.A. are op erating now in 52 countries of the world. “The Y.M.C.A.’s program reaches everybody, men, women, boys and girls, everybody from eight to eighty. It makes religion attrac tive to youth. It gets hold of those boys and girls at the age when they are disposed to wander away from the home fold. It puts the community In partnership with God.” The speaker closed his inspira tional plea for the starting of a Y.M.C.A. in Shelby by reading a poem inspired by the proposal to change the meridian for calculat ing time so that it would pass through Bethlehem of Judea. “How Far from Bethlehem?” asked Mr. Smith in the words of the poem. “That, he said, is the See SMITH Page 2 WHAfS DOING TODAY 7:00 p.m. — Executive club meets at Hotel Charles. 8:00 p.m.—Regular meeting of Cleveland Lodge 202 A.

A bumper mpvement of chickens and of poultry and turkey meat in November will be considerably greater than indicated in October, when lower grades of beef, veal and lamb will be ration-free. Agriculture department meat au thorities expect at least a third of this year’s indicated production of 4,200,000,000 pounds of chipken and turkey meat to become available during the last eight or nine weeks of the year. The great bulk of the poultry and turkey will go to civilian markets because the armed services already have obtained most of their needs for the rest of the year. The supply of red meats—beef, pork, veal, lamb and mutton—al located to civilians for November and December is about seven per cent larger than the increased Oc tober allotment. DR. T. B. GOLD DR. T. B. GOLD DEATH VICTIM Had Been In III Health More Than Two Years; Rites Saturday Dr. Tom B. Gold, 57, prominent civic leader and professional man, died this morning at five o’clock at his home on S. Washington street, following a stroke of paralysis which he suffered last Tuesday. He had been in declining health for two years or longer. Dr. Gold was a veteran of the first World War in which he served as captain in the Medical Corps and distinguished himself, coming out with higher honors than any other man who served from this county. He enlisted as a lieutenant and was promoted to captain for distinguish ed service, having been awarded the Congressional Medal, the Croix de Guerre and the Distinguished Ser vice Cross for rendering first aid single-handed to men at the front under heavy fire. MEDICAL SPECIALIST Born in upper Cleveland, the son of the late Dr. C. M. and Josephine Packard Gold, he attended the pub lic schools of the county and was later graduated from the N. C.

After the war Dr. Gold took spe cial courses in Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat medicine and has practiced See DR. T. B. GOLD Page 2 Communal Riots In India Continue BOMBAY, Sept. 28—MV-Knife play continued today in the Mos lem-Hindu communal riots, which have killed 19 and sent 80 to hos pitals. Leaders exerted pressure to end the armed conflict. Police arrested 160. A full com pany of troops stood ready for possible emergency and too allay public fears. The military has not yet intervened, although army of ficers toured the city with police men. Heavy police concentrations guarded Mosques, where thous ands of Moslems prayed and dis persed without incident. Their leaders urged them to hasten homeward. DRIVE SUNDAY: Clean Your Closets Of That Last Scrap Paper Here s your last chance to maKe that scrap paper you’re hoarding go into the war and reconversion effort. The shooting’s over, but thous ands upon thousands of our men are still “over there,” so the gov ernment needs paper for boxes and cartons in which to ship goods overseas. Paper continues very much on the critical list, and the government is calling upon busi nessmen to conserve all paper possible and on householders to turn in every scrap of waste pa-1 per. The end of the war has in- i tensified, rather than lessened, the paper conservation effort. So, clean out those closets and attics of every scrap of unneeded paper—it’s worth nothing to you, but it’s vital to your government. Besides, the Junior Chamber of Commerce is making one big final round-up (they hope it will be the last one necessary, at least) Sun day starting at 1:30 pjn. and your cooperation will help finish the job. Tie your old papers in bundles or -put them in containers. Then deposit them on the curb in front of your home Sunday for Sun day’s big paper windup. And don’t forget, too, that used playing cards are needed and will also be collected for use of con valescing service men in hospi tals. CHIANG, MAO REPORTED IN AGREEMENT Two Are Conferring In Ef fort To Settle Internol Strife MOSCOVVBROADCAST LONDON, Sept. 28.—(/P)— The Moscow radio reported today that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek and com munist leader Mao Tse-Tung who have been conferring at Chungking in an effort to settle China’s internal politi cal differences, had reached an agreement to reform the National government. The broadcast said the ffrreement provided for wide political repre sentation in the central govern ment and for the holding of gen eral elections at an early date*. _ The pact also was said to pro vide for demobilization of the com munist armed forces. The broadcast, wljich opened with the flat statement that “unity in China has been estab lished,” credited the treaty which Soviet Russia recently concluded with China as playing “an Impor tant part In helping to unify the nation.” Marine Force To Be Expanded In Defense Plan WASHINGTON, Eept. 28.—W— Plans for use of United States ma rines as “minute men” in the in ternational organization to main tain peace were disclosed today by Gen. A. A. Vandegrift. Testifying in support of a post war marine force of 100,000 en listed and 9,200 officer personnel, the marine commandant told the house naval committee: “In the event that present ef forts towards international organi zation to prevent war are unsuc cessful, the scope of the fleet ma rine force will be expanded. It is a force of ‘minute men,’ and it will be held in readiness to be moved instantly with the ■ fleet to any part of the world to strike hard and promptly to forestall at its beginning any attempt to disrupt the peace of the world. “The basic navy postwar plan provides for two fleets, Atlantic and Pacific, x x x in support of this plan, the fleet marine for c/e will be composed of two reduced strength divisions, one brigade and necessary supporting troops and aviation elements." Planned deployment of major elements of the fleet marine force, Vandergrift said, is for one divisior on the east coast, one division on the west coast, and one brigade in the central or western Pacific. The total planned postwar strength of the fleet marine fores is 59,289 officers and enlisted men, including 44.190 in the ground forces and 15,099 in the air force. Marines, he disclosed, will fur nish the entire aviation comple ment of eight escort carrier*, al though the carriers themselves will be manned by navy crews. Argentina Eager For Normality Says Foreign Minister^ BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 28. — Foreign Minister Juan Cooke said in a midnight communique last night that the newly-imposed state of siege in Argentina in “no way effects the march towards consti- I tutional formality which the gov- ? ernment wants in the shortest pos- ■ sible time.” Cooke said that when the gov ernment lifted a wartime state of siege on Aug. 6 after three and one half years of martial rule it "had no idea the ample liberties provid ed by our laws would be utilized for conspiracy maneuvers.” The state of siege was reimposed Wednesday after a revolt was re ported quelled at Cordoba.
