V K-CHURCH CASE
)l URNS TO COURT
Complicated Action Or
dered Remanded By Cir
cuit Court Of Appeals
ASHEVILLE, June 19—Iff!—The
complicated case brought by trus
tees of First Presbyterian church
of Greensboro against stockhold
ers in the Vick Chemical com
pany was remanded to U. S. dis
trict court by the fourth circuit
court of appeals today after part
of the lower tribunal’s verdict had
been affirmed and part revised.
Trustees of the church were
willed 3-100 of the shares in the
chemical company by the late
Lunsford Richardson, who speci
fied that dividends were to be
used for missions and charitable
activities.
In 1922 the church, then in the
midst of a building campaign,
sold its stock back to other stock
holders of the company for $15,000
and applied most of this sum on
the new church building'.
Trustees of the church later filed
suit against the chemical company
and executors of Mr. Richardson’s
estate to recover value of the
stock which in the meantime had
increased many times in value,
contending the sale violated pro
visions of Mr. Richardson’s will.
The district court ruled the
trustees were entitled to recover
from the company but that the
$15,000 originally paid to the
church should be deducted from
the sum they sought in their suit.
Both sides appealed from the
low-er court’s verdict.
The appellate court affirmed the
district court's decision as to the
liability of the defendants but
reversed the lower court’s decision
on the $15,000 deduction.
The opinion was written by
Judge John J. Parker of Char
lotte, with Judge Morris A. Soper
of Baltimore, Md., writing a dis
senting opinion.
GREAT AMPHIBIOUS
FORCE ORGANIZED
BY ARMY AND NAVY
(Continued From Page One)
ably was designed for operations
in which the Army would be heav
ily engaged after the landings
were made.
The Army, therefore, would be
able to carry through from start
to finish. The bluejacket part of
the amphibious force probably
would be primarily concerned
with handling landing boats and
setting up beach defenses and fa
cilities.
“Under the training courses of
the amphibious forces,” the Navy
said, “thousands of naval officers
and men have learned to take
the newly-designed landing boats,
ships and amphibious craft
through heavy surf safely to se
lected beaches; and thousands of
toughened Army troops have
learned to swarm ashore from the
landing craft and race for the
beach to establish the spearhead
of an allied invasion.
Un the Atlantic coast, lor in
stance, working together in the
closest co-operation, especially
selected Army and Navy units
are going through an arduous
training program, acquiring the
high skill needed for joint land,
sea and air operations, studying
the lessons of the British Com
mando raids and of our own land
ings in the Solomons, North Af
rica and the Aleutians.”
Training for amphibious war
fare falls into four parts: The
indoctrination of commanding of
ficers in the strategy, tactics and
techniques of joint operations;
training of many specialists need
ed to carry out a landing opera
tion; basic training in the use
of the highly-specialized amphi
bious equipment; and advanced
training—joint exercises of all the

CRUISER LAUNCHED
AT NEWPORT NEWS
Texans Participate In The
Christening Ceremonies
For New Warship
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., June 19
_(g>)—Texans leaned over the
platform rail and watched the
cruiser Houston as she took to
water today at the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com
pany plant. Above her bow, beau
tifully blist^ry with foamy cham
pagne, billowed red, white and
blue banners against a cloudless
sky. Then Navy band was playing
“Anchors Aweigh.”
“There she goes,” someone said
in a typical Texas drawl. He add
ed: “God bless her.”
The cruiser Houston not only
received her name today as a
naval ship which soon will be
commissioned for fighting duty.
The Houston received a faith to
keep with the cruiser Houston
which died in battle with the Ja
panese in the Java sea, with the
men who died heroes serving her
guns, and with the people of Tex
as who put up more than $72,000,
000 to provide her. One thousand
volunteers joined the Navy in a
body at Houston to replace the
crew of the lost ship.
Texans high in government cir
cles came down from Washington
to join the visiting Texas delega
tion, headed by Governor Coke
R. Stevenson.
Tall, white-haired secretary oi
commerce Jesse H. Jones for all
his years in Washington consider
ed by Houstonians as their own,
told the group on the launching
platform that the first cruiser
Houston made a good will trip to
Japan.
“Houston No. Two will also
make a good will tour—for the
world. She will go to Japan and
the Japs will remember her,”
Jones said.
He stood on the platform with
Senator Tom Connally and Repre
sentative Albert Thomas, both of
Houston. They all shook hands
heartily with the official party
from Texas. Mrs. Claude B. Ham
mill, wife of an oil operator, who
served as chairman of the Hous
ton cruiser drive, was the spon
sor who swung the bottle of cham
pagne against the bow to start
the vessel down the ways into the
James River.

NEW PEACE RUMORS
DENIED BY ITALIANS
(Continued from Page One)'
ing for several days Calabria lo
calities hit by air raids.” Calabria
is the toe of the Italian boot, the
nearest part of the mainland to
Algiers. Both broadcasts of DNB
dispatches were recorded by the
Associated Press.
The Rome radio, in a broadcast
recorded here by Reuters, said
the allies were dropping leaflets
inviting the Italian population to
collaborate with them.
The Morocco radio said that the
Fascist party directorate had asked
Mussolini to hand over the entire
conduct of the war to the party.
The Morocco radio has been a
source of frequent misinformation.
This report suggested that a party
revolt might be brewing which
would put II Duce on the skids in
a move preliminary to eventual
bargaining with the allies.
Only Term
The Italians know, however, that
1 unconditional surrender” is the
only allied term because it was
thus pronounced in January at the
Casablanca conference of Presi
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minis
ter Churchill. The rumor of an
Italian peace bid was the latest
of a series of three. Reports of
similar feelers from Rumania and
Hungary w'ere denied violently by
axis spokesmen.
The Rome radio, as heard by
the Associated Press, said Musso
lini’s meeting with the cabinet
dealt with domestic affairs.
Obviously, the most pressing
domestic affairs were the stiffen
ing of the home front morale and
bolstering of the exposed coast.
The extension of martial law as
announced last night.
tt-Bb announced the recording
of a British radio broadcast say
ing that one decree of the cabinet
provided for requisitioning of pub
lic buildings for housing evacuees.
It said that “a plan for financial
aid to Sardinia, because of bomb
devastation, was also approved.”)
A Berlin broadcast said all Ital
ian men from 18 to 36 and women
from 18 to 24 not otherwise en
gaged in war work had been or
dered placed under labor con
scription effective July 1. The
Ankara radio quoted a Zurich dis
patch saying the main cities of
Sicily and Naples would be eva
cuated of nearly all civilians by
July 10.
The jittery state of Italian offi
cialdom, as well as of the fascist
public, was reflected in two swift
iy succeeding orders. The first
fixed hard penalties for Italians
failing to report landings of allied
parachutists or other agents; the
second offered cash rewards to
soldiers discovering parachutists
or allied secret works^in Italian
cities.
The ministry of information re
corded a broadcast which said the
menace of landings of single al
lied ’chutists had become “acute
of late.” This was followed by an
other Rome broadcast boasting
that “so far, not a single allied
soldier has set foot on European
soil.”
Radio Algiers reported that
• tension between German and
Italian troops occupying Greece
is rising steadily.”
ADMINISTRATION
SEEKING TO SAVE '
SUBSIDY PROGRAM
(Continued From Page One)
tion.” he said. (The house left
$28,972,000 in the bill for foreign
propaganda activities by the agen
cy).
Some senate republicans indi
cated immediately it will be per
fectly all right with them if the
OWI is abolished. Among them
Senator Nye of North Dakota, a
member of the Appropriations
committee, said he supported the
house action in trimming OWI and
OPA funds.
“I don’t think there is any such
need to sell the American people
this war as the plans of the OWI
seem to indicate,” Nye said.
As for the OPA, Hill told re
porters:
“We will try to give the OPA
what it must have to operate. I
think the senate realizes that con
gress cannot destroy something in
times like these without having
something better to offer.”
That this move would face stiff
bi-partisan opposition seemed in
dicated when McKellar (D-Tenn)
announced that he is opposed to
subsidy payments to roll back the
price of food to consumers.
‘‘We’ll give ail of those things
a full hearing,” McKellar said,
“but I am opposed to subsidies
and always . have been.”
Nye said he hopes the house
vote “will break the subsidy bot
tleneck” and permit agricultural
prices to rise.
But republicans were not unani
mous in that stand. Ohio’s Sena
tor Taft argued that the house
action is not necessarily conclu
sive on subsidies, even if it is
sustained by the senate, since it
merely forbids use of OPA funds
for administration. He said it ap
peared subsidies could be paid
directly by the Reconstruction Fi.
nance Corp. if the administration
chose.
“I think we ought to have a
showdown in the senate directly
on the subsidy issue,” he said,
expressing belief it might be nec
essary to provide funds to carry
out promises already made.
There was ample evidence,
meanwhile, of democratic dissat
isfaction with the house subsidy
action. Chairman Truman (Mo.)
of the Senate War Investigating
committee commented:
‘‘If we are going to remove the
controls, we might as well left
the river of inflation run its
course. We all hate controls, but
we’ll have to take them and like
them if we are to curb inflation
at all.”

mail room, which driveway will j
be continued.
The new building will afford
much needed relief for the pres
ent congestion in the General of
fice buildings, brought about main
ly by substantial increase in num
ber of clerical forces. The in
creased numb-- of clerical forces
and increased General office c
tivities res--”- generally, of course,
from the greatly expanded volume
of business which the Atlantic
Coast Line is handling incident to
the concentration of war establish
ments in its territory and may
continue to handle for some time
to come based on present outlook,
even after termination of the war,
as many of those establishments
are probably permanent in char
acter, Mr. Davis said.
The new structure will be of re
inforced concrete design, eliminat
ing to the Mlest extent practica
ble the use of materials now class
ed as critical. To the extent com
patible with wartime restrictions
upon material and design, it will
harmonize with the existing group
of buildings. The building will
have approximately 34.000 square
feet of floor space available for
occupancy by the expanded cleri
cal forces, being of nearly the
same dimensions as the oldest
building in the present group,
namely, that located on west side
of Front street south of Red Cross.
General Office building “D” will
be 65 feet wide fronting on Red
Cross, and extending north for a
depth of 197 feet, with allowance
of 10 feet on west side for con
struction of walkway. Heating
will be provided with low-pressure
steam from boiler room located in
north end of basement. Elevator
service will be provided through
present Station building, to which
the new building will be connected
by access bridges at second and
third floor levels. Such connec
tion by access bridges will make
all four of the General Office
buildings an integrated group, as
buildings “A,” “B” and “C” are
now connected by bridges or cover
ed walkway.
