Simmons, represents and Leather Workers union, manager of Beaufort Fisheriei Both say, "There is no strike.' Potter made his statement Negro fishermen failed to bo in a statement Friday, said the' ' same thing. The manager of Beau fort Fisheries, menhaden-catching and processing plant, declared, "So far as I'm concerned, there is no strike. It is simply this: some o f the men have left our employ and they will be replaced by fishermen from elsewhere." 'No Picket Lines' Simmons declared: "We deny that we're on strike since no picket lines have been established." He further stated: "We deny that there is any weakness in the ranks of our members. We do not deny that some beats are in operation. Their crews consist of non-union people and mostly whites. "The fishermen here (union headquarters, 514 Pine St., Beau fort), at a meeting Sunday, June 1, voted to come off the boats after the companies ignored the appeal for union recognition or refused to discuss any of our demands." The union representative said that statements appearing hereto fore in the press in this state in regard to their demands and al leged statements by members of the Beaufort union, local No. 710, "were unauthorized." "Our demands are very small," he remarked. "We want better wages, improved conditions, adjust ments on short-hand pay, paid in surance for men who are lost or become disabled." Broadening his scope, Simmons predicted, "What has happened here will happen throughout the entire industry in the very near fu tures-He explained that menhaden boats on the Gulf, which up to Fri day were fishing as usual, would soon be lying at dockside if their operation depends on union fisher men. When asked what the union meant by "better frages," SfanmotM answered, "We want a wage ad justment." He said that the fish ermen say they are paid 11 and im cents per thousand fish and that in addition they have to pay for the food served aboard the boat. Refers to Southport Asked to explain more fully what he meant by "wage adjustment." Simmons referred to the Southport situation where union members are not working and the boats going out are manned by non-unionists and whites. At aoutnpori, me union repre sentative remarked, "they offered our people 9 V4 cents per thousand and a penny holdback to be paid at the end of the season, but they would not commit themselves as to when the end of the season would be." Now, he says the operators are paying the white crews 20 cents per thousand "plus their grub bill." Simmons inferred that the union was interested in a pay of 13 cents per thousand but would not commit himself. He said that the Union would listen to any offers made by the operator!. Adjustments on short-hand pay mean that when a crew is short handed and one member of the crew has to do the work of two, he should be proportionately paid for his extra labor, explained Sim mons. He added that at present the men are not covered by insur ance which would pay benefits to their family if they were lost at sea or by insurance which would be paid them if they were disabled on the job. - Simmons, in speaking of pay to boat captains, said that the cap tains receive 60 cents a thousand in this area and 80 cents a thousand on the Jersey coast plus a bonus at the end of the season. He also remarked that here the captain gets a 10 per cent discount at the end of the season from the grocery where food is bought for the crew. This discount is not passed on to the men, but pocketed by the cap tain, be declared. Utters Mailed Simmona said that every men haden factory operator in this area has received a letter from head quarters of the International Fur and Leathers Workers union ask ing recognition of the union and opportunity to discuss wages and See UNION, Page 3 Tides at Beaufart lar HIGH LOW Tuesday, Jane II 9:41 a.m. 10:05 p.m. 3:47 a.m. 3:49 p.m. Wednesday, Jane 11 10:35 a.m. 10:99 p.m. m. 4:37 a m. .m. 4:46 p.m. Thmnday, June It 11:33 a.m. 11:90 p.m. 5:29 a.m. 5:40 p.m. rriday, June 13 12:31 p.m. 6:23 i n 6:90 pjtt* tive of the International Fur Beaufort, and W.

Both cars were proceeding east on highway 70 about eight miles east of Beaufort at Otway when the accident occurred. Golden said he signaled to turn right, and Willis who was following, said that Golden went to the far left of the highway.

County Considers Police Radio J Moses Howard, county commis sioner, was appointed yesterday morning at the county board meet ing to confer with representatives of the governments of Beaufort i and Morehead City and a rat'.r salesman with a view to installing a county-wide police radio system. Appearing before the county board yesterday with Dan Walker, Beaufort town clerk, was William L. Meadow, representative of a ra dio firm. Walker stated that More head City's police radio, 10 watts, was designed for use only in the Morehead City area and added that the entire county should be cover ed. Sheriff C. G. Holland said that radio would improve law enforce ment in the county and he thought it was a good thing, but he said unless better maintenance service can be obtained than is being given on his radio at present, he wasn't in favor of it. He suggested that there are other radio corporations to contact that may offer better service after the equipment is installed. Walker said he hoped to have a meeting on the radio matter either yesterday afternoon or last night. The proposed system would be worked out on a cooperative basis among the county, Morehead City, and Beaufort. Japanese Student Visits Morehead City , Evaluates Present Day Japan Masami Koizumi, English-speak ing Japanese student who is study ing in this state under the auspices of the 279th Rotary district, be lieves that the most valuable out come of the recent war between Japan and the United States is the awareness on the part of Amer icans that there is an Asiatic conti nent of which Japan is a major segment. ? Koizumi, who spoke Thursday to the. Morchead City Rotary club on his second visit to Morehead City in two years, was the house guest last week of Mr. and Mrs. George McNeill, 2504 Evans st. The Japanese student, who is the father of two boys , 2 and 4 years of age, stated in an interview Wed nesday that he is optimistic about the development of Japan since the signing of the treaty with this na tion several weeks ago and the emergence of Japan into the world again as an independent nation. He admitted that the fundament al principles of democracy are somewhat difficult for the Japan ese people to understand but he felt that with the continual help of the United States and with recipro cating aid on tha part of Japan, the economical political future is promising. In his opinion, the recent May Day riots in Japan "were too much emphasized" in newspaper, radio, and newsreels. "Those happened all over the world. Japan was not exceptional." He stated that work ers are accustomed to demonstrat ing and having their labor festi vals. adding that the agitating workers and Japanese labor unions "rre weak in ideology and are easily controlled by a small num ber of communists." Praises General Koizumi described General Doug las MacArthur as "our great bene factor." He went on to say that the general protected the Japanese people, "had the deepest under standing and sympathy for us, guaranteed us civil rights, and he brought the genuine ideals of de mocracy into the souls of Japan." TVe stM degree at the 4t?rth Carolina in lk'cember of 1951 and who will receive his mas ter's degree this summer, remark- i ed that his contact with Japan since his arrival in this country in February 1951 has been solely by newspaper and magazine ( in addi tion to personal mail) and added that he is able to get a truer pic ture of the home situation since newspapers and magazines have been freed from occupation con trol. Koizumi was graduated from tea chers' college in 1939, taught Eng lish in Gifu Normal school and in 1943 went to the University of Hiroshima. He dropped out in 1945 because continual bombings made study impossible, and went to work for the Toyo Industrial company several miles outside Hiroshima. In the plant which was produc ing armaments he worked out labor rules, regulations and wages. He was in the office of the building when the atomic bomb was drop ped on Hiroshima at 8:15 a.m. Aug. 6.1945. A trace of understandable bitterness could be detected as Koizumi told of the workers in the plant who were injured or killed. < "Between the plant and the city was a small hill which saved the plant from extensive destruction," declared the student. Describing his experience, he said, "I saw a flash of light and heard a great blast and a few hours later learned the whole city was burning. Seven ty per cent of the city was destroy ed all the houses burned or col lapsed, except those of strong con crete." He termed the radiation and tlash most injurious to human beings. Two days after the bomb had been dropped, he met a university professor who told him that it was his belief that the bomb was power ed with atomic energy. "I could not believe it," reported Koizumi, "I thought it was a gas of some type." Voluteers Services After the surrender of Japan, the former teacher returned to his home island of Shikoku. He stayed there for a short while and then volunteered his services to the United States armed forces as an interpreter. He went in October 1945 to the Naval base at Kure which was one of two large Japanese Naval bases during the war. After five weeks there he moved to Kyushu island and worked in the 19th infantry, 24th division Army headquarters, later at Marine headquarters and in 1949 was transferred to military headquarters at Osaka. He was subsequently sent to Kyoto university where educators from this country were on a visit to study education in Japan. It was there that Koizumi met Dr. J. P. Booth, superintendent of Kinston public schools, and expressed the desire to stuby in this country. Through Dr. Booth the 40 Rotary clubs of the 279th district, which includes Kinston, agreed to finance his education here. Koizumi, who will work in the education institute of* the Osaka prefecture government upon his re | tu?* homo, Mated that Whe Japan fo school system is very good. At present a student in itfUk can attend grades 1 through 0 in the public school system, but sen ior high school pupils pay tuition and must undergo examinations be fore they are accepted for high school. As a result, only 35 to 40 per cent are found eligible to con tinue. Teachers' salaries are paid by the government. In education he terms establish ment of the lnternation Christian university at Tokyo the most im portant recent development. The university opened in April. Although 60 per cent of the Jap anese population is Buddhist, Koi zumi says that Christianity is rapid ly gaining ground. Shinto religion, embodying the worship of national heroes, was forced on the people during the war by government leaders who were anxious to con trol the populace in every way possible, declared the student. Koizumi looks with pleasure upon the closer relationships be tween this country and Japan and looks equally with pleasure upon his forthcoming return to his fam ily the latter part of August.
