President To Declare End
Of Emergency By Next July
Washington—President Truman
plans to declare the national
emergency ended before July 31,
a high official disclosed yester
day, erasing most of 105 wartime
laws then or six months later.
In preparation for this declar
ation, the official said, Mr. Tru
man expects to send to Congress
within the next fortnight a mes
sage recommending permanent
extension of such laws as he
deems necessary. *
This legislative job can be com
pleted during the present session,
the official said. Thereupon Mr.
Truman “can seriously consider
ending the emergency before the
adjournment this summer.”
White House advisers have de
cided that the “state of emergen
cy" can be terminated before the
■war itself is officially ended. An
additional 250 or more laws based
on “the duration of the war,” or
some limited period thereafter,
’would remain in force.
Members of the White House
Staff expect to go to work on
“end-of-the-war” recommenda
tions to Congress immediately af
ter the emergency message is
sent, on the theory that the war
•could be ended for most domestic
purposes before the peace treaties
are signed.
Broad Powers Covered
The end-of-emergeney message
will cover powers granted under
both the “limited” emergency de
clared on Sept. 8, 1939, just after
the outbreak of war overseas, and
the full emergency proclaimed
’May 27, 1941, after the German
I
sweep of Europe.
It was not disclosed which pow
ers Mr Truman will ask to have
extended. Those which would
otherwise expire upon the termi
nation of the emergency—many
of them already dormant or near
ly so—include:
The requisitioning of ships;
: lease of vessels to friendly na
i tions: arming of merchant ves
sels; authority to trdnsfer the
I Coast Guard to the navy; pur
chase of military supplies by
j “streamlined" methods, without
j advertising; hiring of dollar-a
1 year men: Suspension of duties on
scrap iron imports; tax-free with
drawal of alcohol from distilleries
for ‘ industrial use; appointment
of an undersecretary of the navy;
and certain relaxations of ship
manning and operating standards.
Timely Hints
By Verna Stanton
Assistant State Agent
Wintertime is sewing time for
many families in cities, as well
as on farms. The workman-like
home sewer, whose machine
Whirls smoothly, keeps an oil can
handy and uses it after each day’s
work or after eight or ten hours
of use, say household equipment
specialists 6f the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
For oiling, use household ma
chine oil, the kind that is pack
aged by gasoline companies or
manufacturers of sewing ma
chines. Squirt a drop in each oil

N. C. Leaders Support Entire
Full support of the Medical Care Commission’s five-year Good Health Plan has
been expressed by these ten state leaders. Each has presented to the Good Health As
sociation a statement endorsing the program in its entirety and urging legislative action
to put it into immediate effect. Leaders supporting the program are, left to right, Dr.
Carl V. Reynolds, Raleigh, Secretary and State Health Officer; Mrs. Harry B. Caldwell,
Greensboro, Master of the State Grange; Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby, Senior Senator from
North Carolina; R. Mayne Albright, Raleigh, Executive Director of the World Federal
ists in North Carolina; and C. A. Fink, Spencer, President of the North Carolina Fed

hole and each bearing—that is,
wherever one surface rubs against
another or turns within another.
Don’t forget to oil any little block
of felt or ball of wool that feeds
oil to the shuttle race. If there
is no felt or wool, wipe a thin
film of oil on the race with a
cloth on your finger. But never
oil the tensions of the machine.
A drop of oil is plenty for more
than one reason. Excess oil runs
off and is wasted, and excess oil
not wiped off collects dust. Too
much oil on the shuttle race or
needle can cause stitches to skip.
When oiling is finished, run the
machine a minute or two to work
the oil into bearings.
It is also routine good care to
slide out the needle .plate oc
