SHIPYARD GIVEN
AWARD FOR SAFETY
(Continued from Page One)
pany in the country, you have done
it skilfully and safely. It is a trib
ute to the type of employe work
ing in the North Carolina Ship
building company.”
Yearout, the next speaker, listed
the facts and figures of the NCSC
safety record. “During 1945, he
said, “we outfitted 12 ships, bui
four ships from keel-lme to launch
ing and conducted two trial
cruises without a single disabling
injury.
“And despite the numerous me
chanical safety devices, safety stdl
depends upon the individual work
ers,” he said. All the various safe
ty committees now in operation m
toe shipyard were lauded as ef
fective factors in the compilation
of toe safety record by Yearout
who said the company manage
ment deserved commendation for
including safety in their production
program.
Besides completing a year’s op
eration without a single industrial
fatality, the company has reduces
its over-all accident total by 50 to
65 per cent, Yearout added.
Bollinger opened his presentation
speech by declaring, “As you
know, the National Safety Coun
cil’s sole reason for existence is
the prevention of accidents. We’ve
been working at the job for over
thirty years. So when we come
here to take off our hats to your
company, you can be sure you
Untrn rlnno e<VT)pt.hin£?.
“When we look at the record es
tablished at the North Carolina
Shipbuilding company, it’s plain
what that "something” is. You can
point with honest pride to the fact
that your organization has estab
lished frequency and severity rates
substantially below the most re’
cent averages for similar organiza
tions and by showing marked im
provement in comparison with the
previous year. And even more re
markable, as I speak to you now,
that record is continuing to grow,"
he said.
When he completed his speech,
Bollinger presented the award and
pennant to Halsey who thanked
him on behalf of the company. As
the band played, the pennant was
hoisted to the top of a flagstaff
on ,he platform.

VD Clinic Piles Up Work
On Understaffed Office
(Continued from Page One)
“Penicillin administered at the
proper time and in proper quanti
ties has also helped to cure many
cases in a short period of time
which would otherwise have taken
weeks and sometimes months,”
Dr. Elliott said. The drug, properly
administered, will cure the veneral
disease of its contagious qualities
in three or four days, according to
the officer.
Regarding the early employment
of a medioal officer to replace
Dr. Cutter, Dr. Elliott indicated
that the possibility of interns who
are now completing their hospital
work before becoming licensed
doctors, havmg to “work for Uncle
Sam,” brings little hope for
immediate relief to the depart
ment’s VD clinic operations.
Dr. J. Roy Hage, state board
of health officer who was in town
recently, advanced the supposition
that the above may De the reason
new doctors are not available now.
He said that a large number of
the medical students during the
past three years have entered in
stitutions for medical study under
the sponsorship of the Federal gov
ernment and are now being used
to fill in the gap caused by medical
corpsmen who are being returned
from occupation zones and who
have sufficient points for discharge.
Dr. Elliott said yesterday that
replies from three hospitals to
which inquiries have been mailed
have netted the department nothing
in the way of a doctor to assist
in the city-county departmental
work. He expressed the hope that
there may be a chance that some
of the returning doctors will be
available for the position left va
cant by the withdrawal of Dr.
Cutter.
The department has had replies
from the Baptist hospital, Winston
Salem, which works in connection
with Wake Forest medical school,
a hospital with college affiliations
in Louisville, Ky. and Duke hospital
and medical school, Durham. All
institutions report they will not
have a medical officer who would
be available for the local work
soon.
ALL DEPENDENTS
MAY GO OVERSEAS
(Continued from Page One)
and is working out a way to do
it. Some new legislation may be
needed, but it is not expected to
meet any opposition in Congress.
The Army’s Decision to permit
families of all to go overseas on
an equal basis is in line with
wishes expressed last year by Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, then com
mander of the European theatre.
Asked if Mrs. Eisenhower woul
join him in Europe, he said::
“Until it is possible to establish
policies by which any G1 as well
as myself can take advantage, it
would seem to be out of character
at least for me, to seek a favored
position.”
When it was decided that sol
diers’ dependents would be admit
ted to overseas theatres, includ
ing Europe and the Pacific, as
accommodations became available
Eisenhower was determined that
the privilege made available
to all ranks. This would be done,
he decided, whether transportation
for them at government expense
was authorized or not.
Present army plans for trans
portation of dependents cover the
occupation period.

the President that the report would
not contain any recommendations

said it would consist of a summary

and “such observations or com
ment as we choose to make.”
Feinsinger said that the panel
has been talking to OPA about
steel prices.
One of the subjects the panel is
expected to deal with in its re
port is the effect of a wage settle
ment by U. S. Steel corporation,

PERSONNEL ORDERED
TO DESTROY NOTES
AFTER PEARL HARBOR
(Continued from Page One)
admonished against "loose talk”
and instructed to destroy personal
notes.
Safford said he was not eure
whether these instructions had
come from Noyes or Gapt. (now
Rear Admiral J. R. Redman, as
sistant chief of naval communica
tions. Noyes first presided but was
called out and Redman took over
the meeting, he said.
But he said he had a clear under
standing that the orders came down
from Admiral Harold R. Stark,
chief of naval operations.
“It seemed a perfectly logical
and fair order at the time,” Saf
ford said. He said he understood
the order regarding destruction of
notes was based on the thought
that the notes might fall into hands
of persons who would indulge in
“loose talk.”
“There was nothing said about
destruction of official papers?”
Richardson asked.
“No, sir.”
“You had no idea, did you, that
you were being asked to do any
thing improper?”
"Absolutely not, or I would not
have done it.”
Safford said he complied with
the order and passed it on to his
subordinates.
On the point of the reported
“winds” code message, Safford
had prepared a 22-page statement.
As given to committee member in
advance of his testimony, Safford
closed it with this statement.
“The War and Navy departments
had been given 72 hours advance
notification of the attack on Pearl
Harbor by the Japanese them
selves.”
Reading it to the committee, how
ever, he dropped out the words
“Pearl Harbor”, saying instead
that it was 72 hours advance noti
fication of the attack mi England
and the United States.
balford s statement that a winds
code message was received direct,
ly controverted testimony from ear
lier witnesses.
On last Wednesday, Capt. Ar
thur H. McCollum, 1841 head of the
far eastern section of Navy intel
ligence, told the coiflh^itee no such
message was ever ^Sived.
“I never saw it and it would have
come to me,” McCollum testified.
Similarly, Admiral Harold R.
Stark, chief of naval operations in
1941, and other naval witnesses said
earlier in the hearings they knevi
of no “winds” message signifying
that Japanese-American relations
were endangered.
But Safford declared there was
no question but what one was
received, and that to the best of
his recollection and the circums
tantial evidence it was received on
Dec. 4, or the Thursday before Ja
pan’s Sunday morning, Dec. 7 at
tack.
It was translated by Lt. Cmdr.
Alwin Kramer and given to him
with the comment, “this is it,” Saf
ford asserted. He said he dispatch
ed it to Rear Admiral Leigh Noyes,
chief of naval communications,
“thus fully dscharging my respon
sibility in the matter.”
The stage for this controversy
over the “winds” message was set
early in the committee’s hearings.
It received last November copies
of intercepted Japanese dispatches
showing Tokyo had advised agents
and officials abroad that it would
broadcast notice in a weather code,
in event other means of communi
cation failed, if a break was at

BRADLEY UNCORKS
VERBAL BROADSIDE
(Continued from Page One)
The American Veterans of World
War 2 accused the Legion of try
ing to smear ‘‘the General to “re
gain their lost control” over the
Veterans Administration.
Stelle sent a letter to all mem
bers of Congress today, listing
reasons why he said Congresf
should investigate Veterans Ad
ministration operations under
Bradley.
Bradley told reporters he sus
pected the letter gave the views oi
Stelle and “doesn’t represent the
majority of the American Legion.’’
Citing a “tremendous” increase
in the load on the Veterans Ad
ministration, the General de
clared:
“Frankly I think we have made
as much progress with that job as
we could.”
Asserting he would welcome any
sort of investigation, the Vete
rans Administration chief read a
lengthy account of what the agency
had done since he took over last
August
For instance, he isid, Stelle
noted that the Veterans Adminis
tration had 287,000 unanswered
pieces of mail on Jan. 1. The mail
averages 125,000 pieces a day,
Bradley said, but the Veterans
Administration has caught up by
bringing in extra help from region
al offices as far away as Florida,
Texas and Massachusetts.
—utic vuujr JJcUt U1 Uie
statistical reinforcements he wheel
ed up, he listed what the Veterans
Administration is doing with re
adjustment allowances, loans, hos
pitalization, insurance, education,
personnel, claims.
In some cases, he said, Veterans
Administration is 10 or 20 days
behind in its work. But he said
last August there were 6,688,000
veterans, now there are 13,490,000,
and by July 1, 1947, the number
is estimated at 20,000,000.
Drat means an increase of 6,
802,000 veterans since he became
administrator. The General said,
and each of the newly discharged
men is a readjustment case.
Much of the questioning of the
battle-jacketed, beribboned mili
tary tactician centered on his tele
phone talk with Stelle Wednesday.
Stelle’s aides had described it
as acrimonious.
Bradley said the first part of
the conversation dealt with the
Decatur hospital site, then it
swung into his delay on a decision
to serve on an American Legion
scholarship committee.
Then, he said, Stelle “went into
a discussion of deficiencies of the
Veterans Administration and sug
gested unless I could cut red tape
faster than I had so far, I had
better go back to the army.”
Finally, Bradley said. Stelle told
him about the letter he was send
ing to Congress today.
Asked whther it was true that
he and Stelle “had a scrap over
placing a hospital in Decatur, 111.,
“last week, the General replied
in the affirmative. He said Stelle
wanted it located on one side of
town, the Veterans Administration
decided on the other.
xie ucauiueu uie iieigriDornooa
surrounding the chosen location as
better.
The general interrupted with a
negative answer a question whether
the Legion commander had made
anything “in the nature of a
threat” in connection with the
selection of the site.
To another query, Bradley said
he didn’t know whether Stelle had
any financial interest in the re
jected location.

MANTEO, Feb. 1. —VP)— The
Coast Guard here reported tonight
that one of two steamers which
went aground yesterday on Cobbs

been floated with the aid of a

tion.
Hie refloated ship was listed as

SERGEANT’S FAMILY
TOLD PROPER MANNER
TO SPEAK TO “TINA”
The family of S-Sgt. S. T, Glover
is learning how to talk to dogs—
that is, foreign dogs.
“Tina” is a 2-year-old Pekingese
which was brought back by Ser
geant Glover from Europe and has
been missing from her home sev
eral days during which time a
widespread search has been in pro
gress by friends.
During a telephone conversation
between Sergeant Glover who is in
a Fort Bragg hospital, and his
mother yesterday, the sergeant told
his family not to worry too much
about his dog being lost, that he
will help find her when he gets
home—“and by the way Mom, ii
you see “Tina” (that is the dog’s
name) yell at her sorta like a ser
geant would yell at a private.”
Sergeant Glover’s dog which he
brought from Europe when he re
turned a short time ago has ob
viously not become accustomed to
the kind words to animals used by
Americans. His brother said last
night the members of the family
had been unusually mild and con
siderate when in the dog’s presence
—“but if we do find her, guess we
will have to use some -of the ser
geant’s technique.”
Sergeant Glover told his mother
he thought he would be able to
come home today.
Lower Bladen Housewives
Show Spirit Of Thrift
CURRIE, Feb. 1.—The Kelly and
French Home Demostration clubs
of lower Bladen county have ac
complished many things within
the past few years that will be of
lasting usefullness, a check-up has
disclosed.
The Kelly club has made an
outstanding record in canning with
pressure cookers, especially in
meats. Practically every home has
a well-filled pantry of delicious
canned meats, not only trimmings
of the hog killings, but also wild
meets which have been in abund
ance. Many have canned fryers
and turkeys.
The French creek club has
majored in making wearing ap
parel from empty feed sacks.
Since this section raises a great
deal of poultry and stock practical
ly every family has a supply of feed
sacks to use.
The white sacks are thoroughly
cleaned and bleached and then
converted into bed spreads, pillow
cases, mattress slips, sheets, chair
covers, aprons, table covers, un
derwear, men’s work shirts, chil
dren’s clothing, quilts, linings, and
many more useful articles.
Many members have made lovely
articles by the use of crocheting
and dyeing. These have received
recognition at the Achievement
days.
The flowered feed sacks have
been made into dresses for school
girls and house dresses for the
housewives.
--- *»*«»»*»wv* a vAvuaiigc pal
terns of sacks and by doing so
have been able to gather much
cloth of the same design. In many
cases the members, with artistic
tastes, have designed their own
quilt and dress patterns and thus
made lovely articles.
During the winter the FHD club
members designed and made a
quilt, did their own quilting and
sold the quilt for a fancy sum.
This money still is being used to
finance the expenses of the club.
Lovely rugs have also been
made, the women doing their own
designing. Many quilting bees are
held each season of the cold
weather.
The saving of these feed and
fertilizer sacks has meant much
to the section, not only in the con
servation of material when it was i
practically impossible to obtain, but
it has also created a cooperative ]
public spirit.
Mrs. Lilly L. Hester, Bladen’s :
Home Demonstrator, has done
much to promote these clubs.

City Council Approves
Hiring Industrial Agent
(Continued from Page One)
required to finance the post for
the remainder of the fiscal year.
No mention yesterday was made
of that aspect of the recommenda
tion, although the city committee
did voice the belief that the $10,000
which the Economic committee es
timated would be required for op
erations through June 30, might
be reduced considerably, possibly
to $5,000. That amount, it was
pointed out, would provide $1,000
monthly.
The mayor and manager were
instructed to report back to the
council for final approval of sug
gestions emanating from their dis.
cussions with the industrial com
mission.
The second major issue to face
the council yesterday—choice be
tween open specifications and clos
ed specifications based upon the
Gamewell fire alarm box—was in
troduced early in the meeting by
Councilman Robert S. LeGwin.
LeGwin offered a motion that
the original specifications, prepar
ed by City Electrician L. T. Gar
Ten around the Gamewell box, be
used in a re-advertisement for
111 fire alarm boxes.
Following the original advertise
ment last October, all companies
but Gamewell said they were un
able to bid on the specifications
offered. The council then instruct
ed the city1 clerk to prepare open
specifications.
LeGwin’s motion was seconded
by Councilman W. E. Yopp.
Councilman J. E. L. Wade, who
previously had objected to the
city’s using closed specifications,
offered a substitute motion that
the city re-advertise, using the
open specifications prepared by
City Clerk J. R. Benson.
Wade’s motion was seconded by
Councilman Garland S. Currin.
Councilman Harriss Newman de
clared that “if the,Gamewell box
is the desired box, we should pur
chase it and not send out specifi
cations.”
‘‘If, on the other hand,” he con.
tinued, ‘‘we are to mail out speci
fications, I doubt the feasibility oi
mailing out specifications which
will limit the bidding.”
Newman further stated that “ii
the Gamewell company puts out a
Cimnrmr Vinv n« «/m , «... j. __
bidding, he will have the bid any
way, based on quality and price.”
His statement was in answer to
declarations by Nichols that the
Gamewell was the best box.
Mayor Lane concurred with New
man that if specifications were used
they should be open.
Wade’s motion, receiving preced- ■
ence because it was a substitute ac- ]
tion, received three affirmative and ■
three negative votes. Currin, Wade
and Newman went on record as ,
favoring open requirements while (
Pollock, LeGwin and Yopp dissent- ,
ed. ;
The tie was broken by Mayor ,
Lane’s affirmative vote.
Another matter carried over from ;
last week’s meeting, the question of ,
whether or not the city should con- ,
tinue a $50 monthly appropriation to \
an American Legion veterans serv
ice center, was settled in accord- ]
ance with a recommendation from ]
Nichols.
The manager said a study of ag- ]
ancies handling veterans problems ]
in the community had convinced
aim that it would be advisable to ]
aontinue the monthly appropriation <
to the Legion for the remainder oi
the fiscal year. ;
Put into motion form by Wade, ]
Nichols’ suggestion was carried un- j
animously. (
Continuing its session, the board <
authorized that the Mauldin Motor
:ompany, only bidder on supplying -
i passenger car for use by the po
ice department, be awarded the j
:ontract. Purchase price was
juoted at $1,122.19.
The city manager then read a
etter from A. H. Graham, chair
nan, state highway commission,
■evealing that a traffic survey oi
Yilmington, preparatory to the set
ting up of a truck lane for the city,
jrobably would be underway with
n the next 60 days.
Graham also advised that he had
nstructed an electrician to check
he lights on the North Hast river
>ridge, in order that they might be
urned on again as soon as possible.
Later in the meeting, Benson was
nstructed to advertise for between
14,000 and $5,000 worth of pipe need
id by the water department in serv
ng industries currently locating
tere.
The council then adopted a prev
iously-authorized resolution closing
the west 10 feet of Brown’s alley.
Acting on a suggestion by Nich
ols, the board approved a layout
showing a proposed intersection at
a point in the Greenfield Lake sec
tor at which the Carolina Beach
road and South Front street nearly
intersect.
The council voted to submit the
plan to the state highway commis
sion for consideration and adoption.
GOVERNMENT HALTS
HOUSING DISPOSAL
IN LOCAL AREAS
(Continued from Page One)
or demolished insolong as the Fed
eral Public Housing authority ad
judges the veteran situation here
as critical.
Meanwhile, however, the joint
city-county board on disposition of
government-owned housing, is pre
paring a recommendation, soon to
be forwarded to the mayor and the
chairman of the board of New
Hanover county commissioners,
urging the sale of certain other
non-dwelling structures in each of
the three housing projects.
Meeting Thursday in the offices
of the Housing Authority of the City
of Wilmington, the city-county
committee, chairmaned by E. L.
White, made four specific recom
mendations concerning disposal of
non-dwelling structures in each of
the federal housing projects here.
The recommendations, to be em
bodied in a letter to the city and
to New Hanover county, for con
sideration and transmission to the
FPHA in Atlanta if agreeable with
members of the City council and
the county board of commission
ers, were:
1. That the Hewes and Worth
community buildings in Maffitt
Village be demolished when their
present occupancy is completed.
(Both are now used as community
recreation centers.)
i.. nisi me vance community
building in Maffitt Village be sold
as a part, or separately, of the
previously-recommended sale of
the Vance housing project.
3. That all community, adminis
tration and maintenance buildings
af the Lake Forest project be sold,
:ogether with the houses, to private
Dwners. Or, as an alternative, that
;he Lake Forest community build
ing be sold separately to private
owners, which ever would be of
greatest benefit to the federal
'ovemment. ,
4. That the Hillcrest community
mild in g be sold, along with the
project’s dwellings, to the Housing
Vuthorhy of the City of Wilming
on.
In December, the Advisory com
nittee made its initial recommen
iations concerning disposition of
til war housing in this area. Those
ecommendations, passed on to the
:ity and county, were as follows:
All of Maffitt Village, except
00 demountable units, be declar
ed temporary and demolished and
parted away. This applies to 2,962
inits.
Remainder of public war housing
ie declared permanent and dis
posed of as follows:
A. The 216 units for Negroes at
lillcrest be sold to the Wilmington
lousing authority.
B. The 584 masonry units at
,.ake Forest be left in place and
old to private owners.
C. The 800 demountable units
:t Maffitt Village and the 475 at
,ake Forest be retained on their
present sites, if a post-war demand
ixists for them and that, if retain
d they be sold to private owners.
Attending the Advisory com
mittee meeting were K. L
White, chairman; Frederick Wil*
letts, William H. Hill, Mayor Ron
ald Lane, Addison Hewlett, chair,
man of the board of New Hanover
county commissioners, Harry Sob r
