BUSH SURRENDERS AT HOME OF FRIENDS Raleigh — Godwin (Buddy) Bush, 24-year-old Negro who es caped from a white mob that seized him from jail early Fri day, voluntarily surrendered near Jackson yesterday, and was brought to Central Prison here for safekeeping. The young sawmill worker, who broke and r}ui as a masked band of armed men took him from the Jackson jail, sent word to Solicitor Ernest R. Tyler that he would give up if his safety could be insured. /, The solicitor and three F. B. I. agents met Bush at the home of some friends of the Negro, only three miles from Jackson where he escaped from the mob. Bush was unharmed, but had not eaten for 48 hours. He hid in the woods as posses combed the countryside, believ ing he had been lynched, and at dawn yesterday slipped into the home of friends who kept him hidden until the solicitor could be reached. Tyler said he and the F. B. I. agents questioned Bush at length on the way here from Jackson, but would not comment on any further developments. At Tyler’s request, Warden 200 AMERICAN MARINES ARE EVACUATED BY SEA Peiping, China—Two hundred U. S. marine* were evacuated by sea from Chinwangtao in three L. S. M.’s last night as Chi nese Communist troops, who had the city surrounded, threatened to overrun the port, usually reli able sources said yesterday. Na tionalist gunboats stood offshore. The withdrawal was hasty, but orderly. Earlier the marines had contacted a contingent at Tient sin ■ by radio and reported there was no necessity for evacuation since they were not in immediate danger. The Leathernecks were stationed at Chinwangtao to guard marine property stored there. Most of it was taken with them, the sources said. Communist troops were last re ported seven miles from Chin .wangtao; one of China’s principal coal ports 120 miles northeast of Tientsin, and pressing nearer. When the marines left, however, the city was still in Nationalist hands. Hugh Wilson of Central Prison forbade Bush to see newspaper men. G. O. P.

WJ, !UJl,' ■J Lake Success—United Nations experts predicted this week that the Palestine inquiry commission would recommend either a par tition of the Holy Land or an Arab-Jewish state under in ternational trusteeship. This prediction was made as the U. N. investigation commis sion prepared to begin a Summer long search for a possible solu tion of the Palestine problem. The 11-nation commission will hold its first meeting here Mon day at 2 p. m. (e.s.t.) to elect a chairman and decide how and where it will carry its inquiry. One of its biggest initial de cisions will be whether to visit the Jewish displaced persons camps of Europe or confine its investigation solely to Palestine. The commission also was ex pected to consider the question of Palestine independence in re lation to any possible solution of the Holy Land problem. Under a United Nations Gen eral Assembly mandate, the com Consumer Credit Controls Are To Be Abolished Soon Washington — All consumer credit controls will be abol ished completely soon, the only question being whether the Ad ministration or Congress will do it, it was indicated this week. The House Banking Committee which is studying the entire credit picture, is considering three measures calling for im mediate removal of restrictions on installment buying. Congres sional sources said,, however, that Chairman Marriner S. Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board, in tends to lift them, anyway. Sweeping wartime restrictions on consumer credit, imposed be fore Pearl Harbor as an anti-in flation measure and tightened up during the war and again in Au gust, 1946, were relaxed last Dec. 1, following the Republican election victory in November. But automobiles and all major household appliances, such as re frigerators, washing machines, radios, rugs and furniture, gtill are under control—provided the credit involved is more than $50 and less than $2,000. On these purchases, which con stitute a large part of credit buy ing, a one-third down payment is required with the balance due in 15 months. In the case of furni ture and floor covering there must be a 20 per cent down pay ment. “This means that a poor man can’t buy an automobile,” said Representative James C. Davis mission has a free hand to in vestigate every angle of the Pal estine situation. It has been dir ected to report its recommenda tions to the Assembly when it meets in New York next Septem ber. The commission is composed of representatives from Australia, Czechoslovakia, Guatemala, Iran, the Netherlands, Peru, Canada. Sweden. Yugoslavia, Uruguay and India. Some delegates said they be lieved that Emil Sandstroem, Lord Justice of Sweden, would be named chairman of the com mission.

Hagen (R-Minn) and Representative Max Schwabe, author of similar measures, also maintain that the restrictions hurt the low-income groups. They argue, too, that this depresses production through lower demand' and thus damages working men who want jobs. HENRY FORD 2ND TO KEEP WORK GOING Detroit—Henry Ford 2nd, presi dent of Ford Motor Company, told his 3,800 striking foremen that the company intended to maintain production without them. Young Ford hinted he thought the company, whose three main Detroit area plants were struck Wednesday, could maintain pro duction at a high level despite absence of the foremen. Ford, in a letter to the strikers, made it plain that the company intended to fight it out. He made no offer to resume parleys, re marking that “this letter is not intended to offer a solution to the present problem.” “I do not feel the strike call was justified,” Ford said “We are going to do our best to main tain production just as long as we possibly can—even though it will be difficult without your help.” It takes approximately one hundred years to add one inch of top soil to one acre of land.
