w CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES A Merger of THE BEAUFORT NEWS (Established 1912) and THE TWIN CITY TIMES (Established 1936) 89th YEAR, NO. 104. TWO SECTIONS ? SIXTEEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, DEC. 29, I960 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Third Big War Will Bring Socialism To U. S., World Federalist Warns A third world war will mean entrance of the United States into the realm of socialistic states. The mammoth war demands on this nation will dry up all sources of pri vate revenue and the government will be required to con trol industry and income-producing enterprise. This warning was solemnly sounded Wednesday aft ernoon in Beaufort by the leading exponent of world fed eration, Robert Lec Humber of Greenville, as he spoke to the founding group of 'the federation. Humber returns to Carteret county every year on Dec. 27, the anniversary of the signing of the world federation charter. Thirty eight persons, most of them from Carteret county, signed the docu ment Dec. 27, 1940 at Davis Island, the homeplace of Humbcr's ances tors. World federation, the banding together of nations with specific powers under law, is the only way to preserve peace, Humber de clares. Since the drafting of the world federation resolution, its originator has personally led the crtisade for its implementation throughout the world. He has contacted high officials of foreign nations and by his and 49,000 followers' efforts, 16 states have adopted the world federation resolution. Kentucky added its name to the following list this year: North Carolina. New Jersey, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ala bama. Virginia, Louisiana, Tenne ssee, Utah, Oklahoma, New Hamp shire, Florida, Georgia and Missou ri. 10 Years Reviewed Humber briefly reviewed the past 10 years and the work of world federalists. Science is rapidly changing civ ilitation, he pointed out. World ec onomy is being revised but he de clared that no one nation should control world economy, nor is any one nation in a position to do so. The time has come when the world must be incorporated into a community. There must be order the speaker continued, but there can be no order without law, no security, no freedom. To enforce that law, Humber pointed out, a union of all nation with power to quell any disturbance, is necessary. To prove the importance of that fact, he reported that representa tives of Russian satellite nations told him candidly at the San Fran cisco conference where the United Nations charter was drawn up that they would feel obligated to no world organization nor would they obey any international law unless there were power to enforce it. With a world order that had at it* disposal all the scientific minds and laboratories and industry, no i ?dividual nation would dare to defa its authority, the leading world federalist prophesied. Article 108 Articlc 109 of the UN Charter provides a solution to the World's present problems, he continued. This article provides for the call ing of a conference for the purpose of revising the charter. At such a conference that United Nations should be transformed into a law making body with powers to pun ish Its members, Humber stated. If President Truman would re quest the UN's United State rep resentative in the security coun cil, Warren Austin, to call for such a conference, Truman's name would be remembered as one of the most illustrious of all history, declared the speaker. "Civilization is now seeking founding fathers of the world re public", he declared. Nationalism Passing Even in 1940, Humber recalled, there were strong indications that the age ol nationalism is passing. Nationalism, he remarked, is reaching a stage commensurate with that of feudalism at the end of the 18th century. Nationalism served its purpose ? it united Germany, which even the Roman empire could not do, it united Italy; under nationalism the British empire spread; but nationalism is reaching its limitat ions, he asserted. It cannot con trol lawlessness in the world com munity. Humber traced the migration of sovereignty from kings to parlia ments to the people of states, then to the people of a nation, "a?d we are witnessing now," he continued. "another migration of ?overeignity to the people of the World. But there is no organiza tion to implement It!" "tThere come times in history when the sovereignty of govern ment must be abridged to save the ?o*ereignty of man and we can 10?e the iovereignty of the individ u?l even in trying to defend It," speaker warned. j?e remarked that Russia is ?Mken ol aa a Communistic na tlfn. "Russia believes in capital km, but it I* state capitalism where a? we believe in private capitalism.

The Grey shingle home, commonly known as the West cottage, is located at 16th and Shackleford, Morehead City. Nothing is left except charred wood and crumpled brick chimneys. It is not known how the fire or iginated. Morehead City firemen reported that when they arrived the whole house, from top to bot tom. was aflame inside. Because the dwelling was constructed of highly combustible material, they doub ted if any of it could have been saved after fire once broke out. The fire was probably discover ed by several persons at the same time for three telephone calls came in almost simultaneously with the alarm that was sounded from bax 25. A fire truck from Beaufort was summoned to stand by at the More head City station while the More head City equipment was used to fight the blaze. Firemen return ed to the station at 10:30. Beau fort's out-of-town alarm, No. 33, was sounded at 6:30 when its e quipment was moved to the neigh boring town. The Rawlings home was unoccu pied at the time of the fire. It is reported to have been covered by insurance. The property had been put up for sale last year for $12,000. 31 New Industries Locate in State During Past Year Raleigh, N. C.?

Swinford, a Marine captain who formerly lived in Morehead City. Tlic AP reported that Captain Swinford is probably the first Ma rine flyer to capture a band of North Korean guerillas from the air. He dived on a house and loos ed some rocket fire.

NLRB Trial Examiner Rules In Favor of Clothing Workers $12,000 T-Hanger at Morehead City Airport Burns to Ground Thursday A T-hangar of four plane capa city and valued at $12,000 was de stroyed by fire at 9 o'clock yester day morning at Morehead City air port, five miles west of Morehead City. A north wind prevented another hangar, located just north of the burning building, from going up in flames. Destroyed in the fire were a Taylorcraft plane, $4,500 in air plane parts, classroom furnishings, restaurant and office equipment. The hangar was insured for about 50 per cent of its value, according to Earl Taylor, Beaufort, owner of the airport and its buildings. Both the Morehead City and New port fire departments answered the alarm which was phoned them by a neighbor across the highway from the airport. The Newport de partment arrived at the scene first and the Morehead City firemen fol lowed after receiving an alarm at 9:30. Newport firemen said that had they had more water they may have been able to save the south side of the hangar. The Taylorcraft plane was own- 1 ed by a Marine officer, stationed at Cherry Point, who rented the hangar space. Another plane, us ually kept in the hangar happened to be at the Beaufort airport at the time of the blaze. The hangar was of concrete and metal materials. It contained, ad jacent to an office, two lavatories and upstairs was a classroom of 70-pcrson seating capacity as well as stored airplane parts which in cluded 10 wings. Taylor stated that he hoped to convert the hangar into apart ment* in the near future aince op <?t 'his Beai?'->rt air>-'rt filled local aviation need lor this locality. The owner of the hangar did not know of the fire until 10:15, after the building had burned to the ground. Two counters in the office, several windows and a few bathroom furnishing were saved. The icstaurant, located several feet from the hangar opens in the evening, but will remain closed since the pump which furnished the water for the restaurant, was destroyed in the fire. Jimmy Got Another Chance By Tom Wicker All the neighbors agreed that young Jimmy Williams' family had a right to be worried about him. Here was a boy on the road to crime if ever there was one, they said. "He Ought to be whipped," was the in-a-nutshell evaluation of Jim my given by one man who lived near the Williams family, himself the father of two boys about the same age. Fifteen-year old Jimmy had been getting into trouble of one kind or another for the past four years. Most of it was just trouble with his family? staying out late, failing to come home for meals, unruly behavior in the home. But during his fifteenth year, the neighbors who had looked at him askance found new cause for their feelings. Jimmy was picked up by law enforcement officials and turned over to juvenile court au thorities for a series of breaking and entering offenses of a minor nature which had been definitely traced to him. Oddly enough, this may have been the best thing that ever hap pened to Jimmy. Not the break ing and entering, of course, but the encounter with the juvenile court. For this branch of the North Carolina court system does not merely pass sentence on guilty parties, or acquit innocent ones. It seeks to delve into the back ground of whatever offense has ?btten committed and to set the youngsters involved on a better course. Consequently, in Jimmy's case, the county department of public welfare case worker (who had been designated as investigating and planning worker for the court) now came into the picture. Studying what was known of Jimmy and his past behavior, this case worker and the juvenile judge, who was clerk of superior court in this particular county, decided that a psycholog ical examination was necessary. Jimmy was immediately referred to the division of psychiatric and psychological services of the State Board of Public Welfare, and one of the state board psychologists set up an examination for him. The results of this examination gave a definite indication of the root cause of Jimmy's trouble: his own family. He felt insecure and un loved in his home, thus receiving none of the strengthening and steadying characteristics which the family usually gives its members. Investigation of the family con firmed this indication. Jimmy's mother was highly emotional and unstable herself; at one moment See JIMMY, Page 5 Town Board Will Name New Mayor Tomorow Hy noon tomorrow Norchead City is expected to have a new mayor. The board of commissioners will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning for the purpose of nam ing a mayor to succeed George W. Dill who will take his seat in the legislature in January.

(-/ XI af PRE-ELECTION REPUBLICAN Burglars Enter Two Norehead Business Firms i Cash, Tires Stolen at Wainwright's, Clothes Taken from Chadwick's Two Morehoad City business ' firms were entered by burglars ; within the past week. One hund red nine dollars and 17 cents and two Atlas tires were taken from Wainwright's Esso Service Station Wednesday night and clothes were stolen from Chadwick's Dry Clean ers Friday night. Both places were entered through windows. The glass was broken and then the window lifted. Entrance to Wainwright's Service station on Arendell street was gain ed from the north side of the building. The cash was in a ci gar box on top of a cabinet. Both the money and the tires were mis sed when the business was open ed for the day yesterday. Officers Buck Newsom and Her bert Griifin are investigating the robbery. A gray gabardine double breast ed suit and a pair of pants were taken from Chadwick's and left in their place was a rainproof Navy jacket with hood attached and a Navy blue wool cap! No money was missing. Entry to the dry cleaners was through a window on the south side of the building which is located on N. Rth st. State s Holiday Death Toll Mounts The highway holiday toil through out the state mounted as families returned Tuesday and Wednesday to their homes after a long Christ mas weekend. In spite of 400 highway patrol men traveling the roads through out the "dangerous" days. 30 per sons were killed, it was predicted that 18 would meet death. A pre diction of double that number would have been more accurate. Sixteen were killed on the state's highways last Christmas. Making every effort possible to prevent needless death, warnings had gone out in newspaper and ra dio, patrolmen made transcribed safety talks, had even passed out "Take It Easy" Christmas cards. Between 6 p.m. last Friday and midnight Christmas, 25 had died. Between 4 p.m. Friday and 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, death had claimed 30. Vehicles Commissioner Landon Rosser noted that 17 of the deaths came after cars had gone out of control and left the road. He guess ed that a geoe t OH., sampling of al cohol had been mixed with the Christmas gasoline. Near Winston-Salem, a man had been charged with drunk driving alter his car met another head-on and killed three persons. One thing Rosser knew: It wasn't the patrol's fault. Its men. said Rosser, had worked constantly through the peak travel days ol Saturday and Sunday. There had been but slight let up in their pa troling Monday and Tuesday. Fire Bills Due Town Clerk Dan Walker today reminded all persons who received bills lor out-ol-town lire service that the bills must be paid by Mon day, Jan. 1. If fewer than 70 per cent of thoce receiving bills pay them, fire trucks will not answer calls out of town.

Queried by THE NEWS TIMES the More head City Garment com pany issued the following state ment: "This company has re ceived a copy of the examiner's rulings. He seems to have agreed with the union in everything that they have claimed. His decision is a completely one-sided affair. It is the company's intention to appeal to higher authorities in an effort to obtain a fairer decision." The examiner. Thomas S. Wilson, who presided at the hearing in Beaufort court house June 26 to July 3, recommended that the Nat ional Labor Relations board ord er the Morehead City garment com pany to stop its anti union activities to ofter re-employment to five workers discharged in 1949 to re imburse these workers for any loss of pay caused by the compan y's "discrimination" against them. The examiner Thomas S. Wil son also recommended that the board order the company to offer employment to three other persons who sought .employment in 1949, but who were rejected because of their pro-union attitudes. Examiner Wilson said that test imony showed that Mrs. Edna M. Jackson, president of the company has been known for anti-union ac tivities for some years, dating back to the 1930's when she was forelady of a shirt factory in Lykens, Pa., This Lykens factory, Wilson said in his report, was moved to More head City, in 1936, after a series of labor troubles in Pennsylvania. And in 1949, when the Congress ol Industrial Organizations' Amal gamated Clothing Workers of Amer ica tried to organize the More head Garment Company, Mrs. Jackson according to the exam iner threatened repeatedly to close the factory and move it else where if the plant became union ized. The examiner said the com pany questioned its employees and prospective employees about their union affiliations and sympathies and, thus, coerced the workers and would be workers to vote against union recognition in a co llective bargaining election. Charlestonians Cancel Festival Feeling that the scheduled 1951 azalea festival at C harleston, S. C.f would be improper in view of the step-up in military preparations, officials cancelled the affair at a meeting Wednesday. Members of the azalea festival hoard of directors voted unani mously in favor of the cancella tion. The festival was scheduled for April, and 26 low-country com munities had agreed to participate this year. Joseph Reily, spokesman for the directors, said he f<jlt it was "right and proper" to call off the festival because a national crisis now ex isted. "Extensive plans had been made to make this festival an outstand ing one," he said. "To those com munities (who were to join Char leston in the festival) we are most grateful for their cooperation and supporf. However, due to the great necessity that every American should devote his efforts to the de fense of this country, we believe it is only fitting to cancel the fes tival. " Reily said the directors already had telegraphed Gov.-Elect James F. Byrnes of their decision. Byrnes himself last week asked that his inaugural ball, scheduled for Jan uary 16, be cancelled because of the national emergency.
