Lords Anxious
Over New Loan
London, Dec.—Viscount Simon,
former lord chancellor, said in the
house of lords today that the terms
of the United States $4,400,000,000
credit to Britain had aroused wide
spread anxiety and distrust.
Speaking as national liberal lead
er in the first two days of debate
on the loan and the Bretton Woods
monetary and economic plan, Si
mon said he did not reproach the
United States but thought it bet
ter to speak frankly.
"We valued American friendship
in a world which was rather dark
for us,” Lord Simon said. “The
United States came out of the war
with increased power to produce and
with unlimited resources while our
effort has left us enfeebled. The
loan agreement is disappointing
and some of us would say a hard
bargain.
“With these dollars and with
further loans which Canada has
promised and to which Canada
attaches no such conditions we
must struggle through. I think
the loan is essential. If these essen
tial dollars can only be obtained
on these severe terms that is a
reason for regret and disappoint
ment but it is not a reason for re
jection."

Widows Mix-Up
In Estate Claim
Wilmington, Dec. —Claim to be
the legal widow, Mrs. Miriam De
berry Sollee, of Edgecombe county,
today brought suit in New Hanover
County court disputing the admin
istrix of the estate of the late L.
F. Sollee, of this city.
The plaintiff contends, in her ac
tion on file with the clerk of the
Superior court, that she was the
legal wife of the deceased; that he
deserted her in 1923, and further,
that although Sollee entered into
a marriage ceremony with another
woman, no divorce was obtained
in the first marriage.
County Clerk Gus Meyland, act
ing on the complaint has issued an
order requiring Nannie Hatcher
Sollee to appear before him on
December 28 to show cause why
letters of administration should not
be revoked.

Doolittle Speaks
Flights of army B-29 Superfarts

south in sub-freezing temperature, j
set the stage for Doolittle, who!
laid down for his audience the j
“three means of assuring peace tin- j
{ til we have a world police force to j

Doolittle, addressing a group as- j

and development of our natural re

Schools Close Two Days Ahead
Os Time. Streets Beiner
Treated.
Roxboro and Person residents, be
lieve it or not, have had seven in
ches of snowfall in less than a
week. Authority for that statement
comes from Collin Abbitt, of the
City Water Department, where
measurements are kept. There have
been three snows to run up the to
tal, not counting a deal of sleet and
ice and rain turned to ice.
Heaviest fall occurred Tuesday,
when four inches of snow fell dur
ing the day and night and was then
packed down with sleet, the combined
effects of which are still being felt
on slippery and ice-coated streets.
The other snows occurred last
Thursday, with one and one-half
inches, and again Saturday .with
the same number of inches recorded, j
Begun today in the downtown |
section by the City Water and)
Street cleaning department in co
operation with the State Highway ■
force, was the spreading of a cal
cium chloride flakes or lime chlo- j
ride, which like salt cause the ice j
to melt by drawing out water and j
thawing it. Applications have been
chiefly on hills in the center of the
city and shady spots where ice still
clings, according to Abbitt.
Most directly benefitted by the
snow of Tuesday were some several
hundred school children and young (
people who gained an extra two |
days of Christmas holidays when the j
schools in both the city and county j
were closed as of Wednesday morn- :
ing. The schools, however, were
scheduVgiJ to o'osa nn Thipse’-ty af
ternoon. They will' remain closed
until, Monday, December 31.
Few wrecks of major proportions!
have been reported here, but num- i
bers of cars crashed bumpers or
have been stuck in the snow and
ice. Some are still stuck. Many (
residents have remarked on the;
early coming of snow this year in 1
a section which does not generally (
have heavy falls until after Christ-!
mas. The thermometer has been in [
the twenties and below most of the
time and heavy demands have been j
upon an already short fuel supply, i

was a solo. "No Room at the Inn,”
sung by Rev. Mr. Wilson, of Golds

Allotments Os
i
Sugar Remain
Same To May
:
Raleigh—lndustrial and institu
tional users of sugar were advised
today by OPA District Director
Theodore S. Johnson that allot
ments will be continued at the
same levels for the first quarter of
1946 as during the fourth quarter
of this year. The only exception
is for products which include jams,
jellies, fruit butters, and marma
lades.
Sugar allotments for institution
users, including restaurants, for tha
January-February period will be
' computed on the basis of the sable
! per-meal allowances as at the pres
ent, Johnson said.
At the same time he announced
that Sugar Stamp No. 39 will be
validated for consumer purchase
of five pounds of sugar on January;
1, and will expire April 30.
The civilian sugar allotment fbf
the first quarter of 1946 recently
announced by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture is not sufficient to
permit increasing rations to various
types of users, Johnson said.
