Higgins Plants In New Orleans To Close Down NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2 — (£*>— The three Higgins industries plants here, which at their wartime peak employed 13,000, but lately were crippled by a 2,000-man work stop i. page, were “closed for keeps” to day. Andrew J. Higgins, whose small boat business mushroomed into a ■ huge wartime fighting craft enter nrise, told remaining workmen yes terday he was through manufac R turing here. He -said in a statement to the emp«>/;es he did not blame organ ized tabor as a whole, but “vic ious and pigmy-minded” local lead ers. Moreover, he said, his company had been put in "an untenable po sition" by the National War La x>r Board's insistence that he con tinue to negotiate a contract with ; VFL unions while tire National La bor Relations Board was conduct ing a hearing because of a CIO ;laim to represent a majority of the workers. •GOON” SQUADS Finally, he asserted, "in these past several days the 'goon squads nave started actually assaulting ind actually threatening injury and possible loss of life, not only to mu workers, but to your families i { x x so we have lost our appetite a continue these works.” Higgins’ statement about violence vere promptly contested by Jack I iawls, vice-president of the New Orleans Metal Trades Council AFL). “There simply hasn’t been any ntimidation, throwing of glass or inything of the sort.” Rawls as erted. "We don’t do business that vay and don't employ any ‘goon quads.' ” Rawls added that he didn’t “think hey're really closing down.” Segroes Hurt When Car Hits Wagon Two engroes, Lizzie McAfee and lary Lou Pompey received pain ul injuries about 6 o’clock yes erday afternoon when the cot- j on wagon on which they were iriing was struck by a car driven y John Franklin Moore, of near angs Mountain. The two ne roes were treated at the Shelby j ospital and later dismissed. The Teck was investigated by Sgt.

They are expected to > about the same as 1942 prices nd he hinted dealers would be quired to absorb an increase in oducers’ ceilings. ICREASE NEEDED Rep. De Lacy (D-Wash) said in e house that his proposed legis tion giving government employes hours’ pay for 40 hours work iuld “lead the way to a national al of higher wages and higher trchaslng power.” De Lacy added that unless teat ry workers get a wage increase ey will have 10 percent less pur aslng power next year than in 41. In his statement at a news <yn rence yesterday Bowles said the ige-price policy set by Mr. Tru- j in had served to emphasize the' ministration's “determination to ■Id the price line against infla- j •n.” The policy permits price in sases to balance wage hikes only .der these circumstances: 1. Where straight time hour ly wages lag behind the cost at living increases since Jan uary 1941. 2. In order to correct ine quities. 3. Where additional man power is needed for essential reconversion industries. In all of these cases, Bowles as *ted, "the price increases which ly occur will be negligible." (DOLE OF ROAD Bowles predicted higher wages nerally could be absorbed by inufacturers when costs go down the result of volume produc n. An editorial in the mine workers urnal said that in laying down t policy, Mr. Truman had made ne of those down-the-middle -the-road appeals directed to fs. the people.’” “The speech was analytical of j public welfare and labor and duJtry’s responsibility, but in ad of promoting accord it will the realm of confusion ving government price and policy," the Journal said.

The British formula for solving the difficulties was summed up in ■a broadcast by psychological war r.re experts over the Batavia ra dio, who concluded that "the bat lelield of democracy is the coun il table.” The broadcast said those responsible for the current disorders in Java were the Japan ese, who originally “gave up their control to those whose desire for self-government they first encour aged.” The Japanese will be re quired to answer for this disobedi ence of allied orders, the broad pocf caiH ECONOMIC CONDITIONS In the background of the trou bled political situation, Dutch economic experts were attempting to compile complete information on current Indonesian economic conditions. Lack of a proper inventory of what the Japanese left of the .etherlands East Indies produc ion system makes it impossible to make a definite statement regard ing future developments. PARABLE OF SEED IS TOPIC Dr. Middleton Preaches On 'Take Heed How Ye Live" A more appropriate name foi the parable of the seed or tht sower as told in the 13th Chaptei of Matthew would be the parable of the soil, claimed Dr. James W Middleton in the revival message at the First Baptist church this morning. Dr. Middleton's poetic, pictures que and convincing message this morning was on the subject “Take Heed How Ye Live,” in which he also admonished his audience to take heed how they hear. “Under the blue dome of God’s sky, Jesus spoke parables on the sea of Galilee, looking straight in to their faces and using illustra tions about him to drive home his meaningful words,” pointing out the hard soil before their eyes, the rocky, thorny and also the good soil. TRODDEN PATH The trodden path where men had walked was hard soil in which the seed would not take rootage and grow. In this kind of soul. God's truth finds no lodging or rootage. Rocky soil appears rich and promising and proves fertile until the summer suns beat upon it and droughts came causing veg etation to wither and die. Such soil was likened by Dr. Middleton to men who show promise in life but have rocks in their lives which cause them to shrink and wither when they lose their enthusiasm for the Savior. Thorny soil was described as promising of a nourishing seed bed but after awhile the thorns push up and crowd out the good seed, choking their development. “There is not room enough in your heart for both thorns and God,” declared Dr. Middleton. GOOD SOIL ———-— In describing the good soil re ferred to by the Savior as he spoke to the multitudes from the fisher's boat on the sea of Galilee, Dr. Middleton told of the miracu lous conversion of Billy Sunday after he had stepped from a stad ium where he had engaged in an athletic contest in Chicago and was converted by a street mission band. "Take heed, therefore," how ye hear and also how ye listen to the Gospel from the lips of his messengers,” bid Dr. Middleton in the closing remarks of his morn ing sermon. Great crowds are attending th° night services and large crowds are at the morning worship to hear the pastor of the First Ban tist church of Atlanta, in his ser series for the week.

Spanish Francisco Loper, for mer Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer repre sentative in the Philippines, testi fied that Yamashita’s troops pour ed gasoline over women’s heads and set them afire, made sport of young girls for the entertainment of other Japanese at a club and then raped one of the girls after she was dead. Another Spaniard Jose Maldon ardo, described the tossing of a hand grenade into a bathroom where the Japanese had locked up .'11 the men of a group of 50 who sought refuge in a certain home. Five were killed and many maim ed. WIFE BAYONETED He said his wife, 22-year-old Maria, was stabbed in the back with a bayonet the point stuck out two inches from her chest. A pretty 21-year-old Filipino girl, who exhibited a horribly scarred leg, testified how she and some 50 others had been shut in a walled yard, the entrances set afire and grenades thrown at them. She escaped by running through the flames. A nurse who had attended Brig. Gen. Carl Nathorst, retired officer of the Philippine constabulary, said she last saw the aged general and his wife and daughter among those who were tapped in the German club. She did not know their fate, but has not seen them since. TRIED FOR KILLING—Mrs. Eli zabeth Amos, 34. leaves the court house at Winfield, W.

Service of six Greyhound bus lines operating east of the Mississippi to the Atlantic Seaboard remained halted for the second day by a strike of some 4,000 AFL employes who left their jobs over a dispute on wages. In New York, George E. Sift, esident of local 1202, Amalga -.sted Association of Street, Elec .ic Railway and Motor Coach .mployes, said if a settlement was not reached “soon," the strike may spread throughout the coun try.” ! In Salt Lake City, 60 major food stores were closed in a controversy over wages between management and 400 AFL meat cutters and food handlers. They quit work Thursday after the union said a disagreement on wage scales pre vented the signing of a new con tract. CONFLICTING VIEWS A walkout of 140 independent union workers at the Graphite Bronze Co. in Cleveland kept 1,500 from work. Spokesmen of the Mechanics Educational Society of America independent union said the strikers had been demoted without a shop committee being consulted, while the company said the walkout was in violation of a contract. i A proposed five-hour protest demonstration scheduled today in the nation’s Western Union offic es was urged canceled last night by national officials of the AFL Commercial Telegraphers union in Washington. The CTU has filed notice of intention to take a strike vote, which would involve some 50,000 Western Union employes. Members of the Detroit CTU lo cal, however, voted in favor of the work stoppage. AFL pickets resumed marching around the block-square Marshall Field & Company department store in Chicago as 1,000 AFL non-sell ing employes continued their strike for higher wages. The company said the union on strike had a membership of about 800 of the store’s 9,400 employes. PRAYER BAND The Calvary Prayer band will meet Saturday night at 7:30 O' clock with Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

Kenney told senators to day that ‘‘army and navy argu ments and compromises" caused delays in the war against Japan. Kenney, who directed the air forces under General Douglas Mac Arthur for three years, urged im mediate congressional approval of a ‘‘single department of armed forces with co-equal, coordinate combatant arms of land, sea and air.” “Even under war conditions the present system (separate army and navy departments) frequently re sulted in time lost due to army and navy arguments and comprcinises,” he said. ‘ If such delays resulted i 1 prolonging the war just one day, what price can we place Upon the lives th^ lost?” Keever Hamrick Gets Discharge From Army MT.

Strikes, and any number of trou bles great and small! But the news they might have had today was not to come. Instead of /vaiting word of perhaps 200.000 American boys who might have been fac ing a murderous, suicidal Jap anese defense of Kyushu Island, thousands are waiting on both east and west coasts for vet erans homeward bound. Today would have been a crucial day on Kyushu but for the senes of fortuitous circumstances which knocked out Japan less than three months ago. Under the schedule fixed before Hirohito hollered quits. MacArthur and Nimitz would have struck against the Japanese homeland night before last. Presumably they would have been ashore today with most of 10 divisions. FURTHER PLANS MacArthur planned to secure Kyushu for til winter, consolidate, and strike about March 1 directly at Tokyo across the plains east of the city. The assault and immedi ate follow-throw there would have involved 25 additional divisions, and no teiyng how many more in the following land campaign. Unofficial reports .from the Gen erals headquarters before the end of the war said preparations would be made for an 18-months campaign in Japan, nd the effect of the subjugation of the home .and on Japanese armies in China and Manchuria was still a matter of speculation. It was hoped that the beheading of the empire would wither its parts. Russia was ex pected to see that it d.d But none could be sure. The Britu-h were loading their boats to cut off the Japanese in Malaya and the south west “'co-prosperity sphere” when the surrender came. JAP SCHEDULE The Japanese have made it plain what they intended to do They would have met us with suicide boats, with a Kamikaze for which planes and pilots were being saved and with every man who could stand in defense of his homeland. The news is not always hearten ing now. But no bobbing, face-down bodies of American boys dot the surf of southern Kyushu, either, and it is almost Thanksgiving. Truman Wants Civil Service Pay Upped By 20 Per Cent WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. —OP,— A senate committee was advised today that President Truman wants the pay of Federal Civil Ser vice workers raised a straight 20 per cent. He also wants the pay of con gressmen boosted to $20,000 a year and the salaries of cabinet mem bers to $25,000. Congressmen now receive $10,000 and cabinet members 15,000. Arthur S. Fleming, of the Civil Service commission, told the civil ervice ocmmittee that he was "authorized to state" that such 'ncreases would be "in conformity ith the program of the presi ient." Care of the wounded is costly. Pushing the Victory Loan Drive over the top will help defray ex penses necessary to return these men to a better position in life. Allied Control Council Reorganizes German Courts BERLIN’. Nov. 2—<^—The Allied control council formally abolished the Nazi judicial system today and reorganized the German courts on the basis of the judiciary law of 1877. The council reestablished the sy stem of police, country and su perior coarts, provided for their enazification and denied them urisdiction in cases involving al i.ed forces or matters of occupa tional control.

I ‘FREE PRESS’ MOVE OPPOSED Administration Looks To Senate To Strike Out Amendment By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. —(A*)— Administration leaders looked hope fully to the senate today to strike a “free press” amendment from a UNRRA appropriation bill. The amendment was written into the $550,000,000 bill, by a 188 to 168 vote, after prolonged debate cli maxed when Republicans booed De mocratic Leader McCormack of Massachusetts. Republicans made a party issue of the provision and backed it al most solidly when the vote came late yesterday. It would deny any of the new funds to liberated nations which don't allow U. S. newsmen free op portunity to report activities of the United National Relief and Rehabi litation Administration. UNRRA OPPOSITION The amendment, by Rep. Clar ence Brown (R-Ohio) was opposed before the appropriations commit tee by UNRRA and the State De partment. They asserted it might cripple the program of the relief agency. There was a strong possibility an attempt would be made to write a similar restriction into another UNRRA authorization bill on which the house foreign affairs committee soon will start hearings. The new measure would pave the wav for another United States grant of $1,350,000,000 to UNRRA. in addition to $800,000,000 already supplied and the $550,000,000 in yesterday’s bill, DENIES RELIEF Hoots came from the Republican side when McCormack declared the Brown amendment would "deny re lief to human beings.” He pleaded for defeat of the proposal on hu manitarian grounds, saying "people can't live on freedom of the press” But must have “food and shelter and clothing." The Democratic leader and others warned that approval of the amendment might cause distrust of the United States. WANT ADS FOR SALE — ALMOST NEW Grand Piano (medium slzei. Monarch made by Steinway.
