VOLUME 1 fi.l.’S PUSH TOWARD [RED BUILD-UP AREA Report That Sheriff Opened Gates At Mill Draws Denial Deputy, Union Manager Brand Rumor As False A report that Harnett Sheriff W. E. Salmon had to open away through picket lines to let workers enter struck Erwin Mills plants in Erwin Tuesday met with de ials today. Deputy Sheriff Ken Mat thews said, “No such thing has ever been thought of.” Sheriff Salmon himself was not available for comment this morning. Asked why Salmon was in Erwin Tuesday, Matthews replied: “Just keeping up with his own business and seeing what was going on, I imagine.” A second denial was voiced by J. Thomas West, manager of Erwin’s Local 260. Textile Workers Union of America. West said that Sheriff Salmon came to the mills to look around, but took no official action. He added that State law forbids pickets to keep workers from en tering or leaving a struck plant. Oates have been opened and those who want to enter or leave may do so. A few people walked through the gates Wednesday afternoon when the shift changed at 3:16 without interference. They were subjected to catcalls and remarks from some 300 strikers and pickets around the gates, but -r t TROUBLE AVERTED said that trouble wm avoided-this -morning when some oar roads of workers from an un organised out-of-town mill who drove up to the gates to "drag the (Continued an Page 7) Cbuound Qapiiol Sqjuuahsi By LYNN NISBET WAI.KIOH CORRESPOND! IN SlGHT—Adjournment of the 1951 General Assembly is in sight, and can probably be reache ’ by Saturday night of next week, April 14—the date at which leaders have been shooting since early March. The biennial appropriations bill passed its final reading in the house Tuesday and will probably have passed the Senate before this item appears in print. Several senators expressed the opinion it will take less than half an hour to get the biggest, spending bill in State his tory through that body. This fast work will be in striking contrast to the prolonged committee sessions and tedious hours of debate on floor of the House. The prediction is made because every possible is sue was raised and discussed dur ing these previous debates and the senators have nothing new to sug gest. Also, they have nothing to take out because the House passed the bill as it came from the appropria tions committee, except for a minor clarifying amendment making cer tain that workers in the utilities (Continued on Page 7) Cubs To Gather Thursday Night Dunn Cub Scouts will bold their monthly pack meeting Thursday night at 7:30 o’clock in the base ment of Divine Street Methodist Church, it was announced this mor ning by Cubmaster Russell Bass fort.

C., THURSDAY; (tfffi 5, 1951 Consumer Goods Hit By Markup ; Price Controls I WASHINGTON, April Sgf (IP) —The government todaj extended “markup” price controls to another 76,000 re tail stores doing a $7,000,000- 000 annual business in ra dio and television sets, sport ing goods, musical instrur ments, jewelry and other consumer goods. The order, effective April 10, freezes at March 31 levels the re tailers' percentage markups the difference between what they pay. for an article and for what < they sell it. No widespread price rollbacks are expected, because all of the hund reds of items covered by the new regulation already were under the, general price freeze imposed on Jan. 25. HOLD DOWN MARGINS The main immediate effect will be to hold retailers' margins at present levels. Then, if manufact urers’ prices should be rolled back later, the reduction could be pass ed along to the retail customer. Price Controller Michael V. Di- Salle issued today’s order as an amendment to his Feb. 27 regula tion which put the same type of margin controls on about 200,000 retail merchants mostly in the clothing, furniture, household tex tiles and shoe fields. Comparable regulations freezing margins on food stores were issued on March 29. DiSalle said the margin type con trols, originally developed and used successfully by OPA during the last two years of World War 11, are tailored to fit the pricing practices' of large and small retail stores. He sail! they have svpport of the in dustry :_ ttoA are • both fairer, Jtnti iitflre effective than the’‘’general price freeze. When today’s order becomes ef fective next week, the only mijor retail items not covered by mar gin controls will be gasoline and oil, automotive equipment and sup plies, drugs and cosmetics, lumber, building supplies, hardware, sta tionery, fuel and large household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. War Jitters Hit Capital By United Press The nation’s capital had World War m jitters today after an of fical warning that America stands in “face of terrible danger” and perhaps a world conflict. The fear was that Russia was about to throw her armed forces into the Korean War and that thq fighting then might spread to Europe. TAKE CALMER VIEW Other world capitals took a calmer view of the threat. At United Nations military head quarters in Tokyo it was said there was no information to eonfirm the Washington fear that Russia was about to become an active belli gerent. Gen. Douglah MacArthur is expecting a Chinese-North Korean spring offensive, but his intelligence officers are not in clined to believe Soviet combat ttoops will be used in it.
