iWfATHER* VOLUME 1 MCMAHON ASKS PROBE OF CROOKS' Sampson Baptist To Receive Honors . J. Richard Parker, eminent Sampson County farmer and re ligious leader, will be rewarded for a lifetime of service and ded ication ■to the church at services to be held Sunday afternoon at Lebanon Free Will Baptist Church near Clinton. •- m r Squote By LYNN NISBET | RALEIGH CORRESPONDENT ' LIQUOR Result of the ABC election in Greensboro proves things: People In the Guilford County metropolis are interested in liquor and the majority of them are displeased with the way it has been handled by bootleggers. The city voted 11,176 for establishment of ABC stores for legal sale of whiskey and 6,724 against the stores. That is a total vote of 17.- 900 in the city which a few days before had cast slightly more than 9,000 votes in the municipal elec tion to determine who would be responsible for running the city for the next two years. Stated an other way, about 2,000 more Greensboro citisens voted for ABC stores than voted for any member of the city council in the May elec tion. Results of the ABC election surprised almost everybody; pre election forecasts all indicating a close vote. Actual figures on other ABC elections throughout the State since 1937 have not been checked, but several people in a position to know say the Greens boro margin is the largest ever recorded for legal liquor in any county, or city vote, both in num ber arid percentage of votes. The number of votes is generally re garded more significant than the percentage. When 17,900 citisens in Greensboro vote on any issue It means an adequate expression of public sentiment. COMING UP Winston-Salem will vote on the question of city ABC stores within a few weeks. If that election results, as expect ed, in authorising legal sale of liquor. High Point will be the only North Carolina city of more than 40,006 population, Burlington and Gastonia the only others in the 35,000 or above class, without legal liquon Advocates of the ABO syst em contend that there is no com munity without available liquor, although a majority of the com munities have to resort to Illicit sources for their alcholic beverages.

The House was expected to vote quick approval of the measure al ready passed by the Senate and send it to the White House for President Truman’s signature. The compromise measure falls Short of'the Pentagons' request. In stead of immediate UMT, the ad ministration will have to be con tent With the framework of a train ing program with additional legis lation required to put it into ef ‘ feet. Th« bill, which extends the draft for four years, drops the draft age to 13 1-2 and the period of service to 24 months. The administration had requested a draft for 18-year olds and 27 months service. Administration leaders, however, believe the compromise fs the best that can be put through Congress at present.

June >7 —j Iff) Pttoe control officials toduy ferY* dieted a quick end to the current “beef strike” as all available en forcement agents moved into major ■ortockyards to track down possible t>labk marketing. Office' of Price Stabilization (OPS) officials forecast that more cattle will appear on the market "shortly.” They said beef prices then will drop to ceiling levels and the big meat packers will start buying again. „ . OPS Enforcement Director Ed ward Morgan said he sent agents “to the limits of our personnel” to the major stockyards to find out who is bidding over-ceiling prices for live cattle. ABANDON PROTEST FLAN Meanwhile, a group of cattlemen led by former Gov. Roy Turner of Oklahoma, abandoned plans to try to see President Truman and Price Administrator Michael V. DlSalle again on their protests to the beef price rollback order. Beef and cattle industry repre sentatives left Washington, appar ently thinking they had achieved some success ih their fight against DiSalle’s rollback order. But Di- Salle has said the rollback will stand. OPS officials said the figures presented by the group to support their objections showed "nothing we didn’t have before we issued the rollback order” last month. The first step in the beef order —a 10 per cent rollback in live cattle prices went into effect Monday. Since then marketings of cattle Have dropped about one third. •OPS officials insisted, however, that the “big” price break has taken place. And, they said, plen ty of cattle are available for mar kettog, although ; abide cattlemen are holding back in hopes theroll back order will be scrapped. : ,' - State News Briefs .WINSTON-BAIJBI, June 7 Ttai co-owners of * drug store Sea *° d ' wm pSWUiig trial of a violation of fes - Narcotics agents arrested Fred and John & tC* uie swre ’ FIVE CENTS PER COPY Chinese Clique Profited From Gold Shipment WASHINGTON, June 7 (IF) Sen. Brien McMahon, D., Conn., demanded inves tigation today of a “cor rupt band of crooks” which he said used U. S. aid to Na tionalist China t o enrich themselves and influence American foreign policy. McMahon voiced his demand be fore the Senate committee inves tigating Gen. Douglas MacArthur's dismissal. His charges climaxed a stormy session in which Secretary of State Dean Acheson and admin istration senators fought to estab lish that China fell to the Reds not because of any China policy failures by the United States but because of mistakes by Chiang Kai-Shek’s Nationalist government. Acheson testified that concess ions made to Russia at the 1945 Ya'ta conference had nothing to do with Chlang's downfall. That was the administration’s answer to Re publican charges that the port, railroad and territorial concessions —made at Yalta to get Russia into the war against Japan—“opened the gates” to the Communists. MADE HUGE PROFITS Acheson testified that $260,000,000 in American gold was “transferred physic?,ily” to China under a $500,- 060,000 aid program in 1942. McMa hon declared that "an inside clique’ around Chiang made huge profits from this transaction. McMahon demanded a “thorough investigation of this corrupt trans action” to determine whether “this money has come back into this country for the purpose of influ encing public opinion.” The Connecticut senator charg ed, that American taxpayers had Sfe C ° rrUPt gang of crooks in China. - Acheson reviewed the Yalta con cessions.
