Even under war-time difficulties,
, ouest-speaker said, the medical
Profession has succeeded in holding
L spread of disease in the
United States to an all-time low
S’ tiie last two years. The develop
ment of penicillin and sulfa drugs
has contributed enormously to this,
he pointed out. bringing tuberculo
sis and cancer within range of ef
fective treatment.
The problem facing the profes
sion's neuro psychiatric division,
he explained, is a double one. War
has accelerated, the incidence of
nervous disorders, while military
(inlands on manpower have
biought to light an alarming num
|j her of existing cases. War-born
cases include even children.
Medical men foresee a growing
demand for more specialists in the
field of nervous ailments, Dr. Rod
man said, concurrently with an
enormous expansion in treatment
facilities, which will extend to en
list the aid of social agencies and
public welfare services.

JURY ASKS LIGHT
FOR D FH CURVE
In its report to Judge W. H. S.
Burgwyn of the North Carolina
Superior Court, the Grand Jury
endorsed the recommendation of
the New Hanover Board of County
Commissioners that a blinker-light
be erected at the approach to
Greenfield Lake curve on Highway
421 as a danger signal to motorists.
(Efforts thus far to offset the
dangerous characteristics of the
curve, which has caused the loss
ol several lives in the last year,
have taken the form of the plant
ing of juniper trees to obstruct
headlight glare from the near in
tersection of the route with Front
street extension, by the State High
way Commission, and installation
of reflectors on the roadside by
the City.l
Also recommended by the jury
is the construction of canopies
or shelters at. the bus stops at
Second and Princess street and
at Front and Grace streets. This
suggestion was forwarded to the
City Council -with the advice to
discuss with the Tide Water Power
company whose responsibility the
task should be.
Tlie jury also asked the removal
of the sign saying “Turn right on
red light'’ at the intersection of
Carolina Beach road and the ne\y
Winter Park-Shipyard route.
To implement these and future
Grand Jury recommendations, it
was as-ced that written reports of
work none in compliance with
each jury’s request be returned to
the succeeding jury by the appro
priate City or County department.
. hi a supplementary report, the
jury reported satisfaction with its
findings^ after inspection of the
County jail and the New Hanover
detention home, although several
minor repairs and improvements
were requested.
Satisfaction was likewise ex
pressed over the execution of
Manges recommended in the No
vember report.
Included was a report that 63
witnesses were examined in the
erm and 41 true bills returned.

SOLDIER INJURY
CASE IN COURT
The case of North Carolina ver
sus James Wheeler, concerning a
two-year old incident in which the
defendant is alleged to have struck
a Greensboro soldier, Swanson Nel
son, wi.th a beer bottle, was tried
before Judge W. H. S. Burgwyn
as yesterday’s session of Superior
Court closed.
Six months after thp fight at
Peacock Alley in which the prose
cution charges the blow was
struck, Nelson suffered a stroke
which left him partially paralyz
ed. Army doctors’ statements en
tered in evidence indicate that the
alleged blow might have initiated
the ailment, but need not have
done so.
Defense efforts yesterday were
directed at trying to show that the
altercation was not begun by the
defendant and that his use of a bot
tle has not been adequately at
tested. No charge was laid against
Wheeler at the time the fight was
reported to have taken place. Pros
ecution was commenced after
Nelson had been given a disabili
ty discharge from the Army at
Lawson General Hospital, Atlanta,
Ga., late last year.
In the case of Frisson James,
Negro charged with stealing an
automobile, a jury panel returned
a verdict of guilty. He was sentenc
ed to six months in the County
jail, with assignment to work
on State roads under the super
vision of the State Highway and
Public Works Commission.
Divorces were granted to Mary
Grace and Philip K. Mendel and
to Lena Mae and Willie Wright.

SAYING OF FUEL
RALEIGH, Jan. 16.—(J’l—Gover
nor Cherry told newspapermen at
a conference today that drastic
measures to conserve fuel must be
taken, or North Carolina schools
face the possibility of temporarily
closing their doors until the cur
rent shortage is passed.
The Governor’s statement fol
lowed conferences with represen
tatives of the State Board of Edu
cation and the State Division of
Purchase and Finance.
“I hadn’t realized that the sit
uation was so acute,” said Gover
nor Cherry, adding that it seems
general over the State.
The Governor issued a general
warning to the residents of the
State saying that fuel consumption
must be curtailed in order that
the schools and places of business
remain open and homes be kept
comfortable.
“State officials who are charged
with procuring coal for the pub
lic schools,” Governor Cherry said,
“have made and are'making every
effort to secure coal, but the task
is becoming increasingly difficult
with no promise of relief for the
immediate future.”

WITNESS TERMED
A WAR OBJECTOR
Robert M. Kermon, counsel for
the United Shipbuilders of America,
an independent union of workers in
the North Carolina Shipbuilding
Co. yesterday brought to light the
fact that Archie Pruitt, ex-yard
supervisor called to the witness
stand by the National Labor Rela
tions Board, objected to war as
a matter of conscience and had
refused to work on Allied warships
in a Newport News shipyard before
Pearl Harbor.
After William J. Avrutis raised
objection to Mr. Kermon’s queries
on this subject, the latter told Trial
Examiner J. J. Fitzpatrick that he
wished to establish a likelihood
that Pruitt’s difficulties in the
Wilmington shipyard, ending in his
discharge, might have sprung from
conscience-trouble instead of sup
ervisory objection to his pro-CIO
sympathies. Examiner Fitzpatrick
discouraged further inquiry along
these lines.
Pruitt is one of 110 complainants
whose cases against the shipyard
were lodged by the CIO—Shipyard
Workers’ Union with the NLRB.
Under cross-examination by Mr.
Kermon, Mr. Pruitt qualified his
earlier statement that he had as
sisted company employes to solicit ,
members for the U. S. A., Inc.
by admitting that he had not ac- ,
tually seen them so doing, although
he had given two of them permis- |
slon to go below in a ship he was
helping to build. He further con
ceded that neither had he actually
examined membership cards which
he stated earlier had been distri
buted in his sight to Negro work
ers.
