THESE STREETS
K was the day after a holi
day and you didn’t go to work
because the holiday had fallen
on a Sunday and you wouldn’t
have worked that day anyway.
Monday, as a sequel to the
holiday, was good, as sequels
rarely are. It was sunny, it
was warm.
In the front yard of a house
next door to the Sorosis build
ing several grammar school
boys dug a deep hole in the
ground. They had a large
chicken-child which they were
amusing with trips to the bot
tom of the hole. The bird was
thrust into the excavation every
time the diggers passed a new
strata. While they were work
ing they kept him in a Quacker
Oats box. Apparently, he was
still alive.

Nelson Eddy was singing in
the Wenberg Brothers Service

for gasoline, Nelson went on
singing and let one of the Wen
bergs handle the hose.
Down Third street, another
block or so, an elderly woman
sat on her front porch holding
a dog in her arms. She had
two visitors but she was talk
ing to the dog. The callers,
dressed for the holiday, stared
stonily at a potted fern that
hung from the porch roof on a
long chain.

A man with a broken back
drove his car out Grace street.
Ben Gray was soldered into a
cast from neck to waist. He
was possibly 10 degrees warm
er than anyone in town. He
shifted gears, spun the wheel,
and made hand signals in a
dogged sort of way. It wasn’t
everybody that could drive with
a broken back—it wasn’t every
body that could live with a
broken back.
Ben was going to see Mrs.
Gray at the James Walker Me
morial hospital. His wife had
been in bed and he had been
in a cast ever since the night
they dropped from the second
story of their burning house at
Wrightsville Beach.
There had been smoke in the
dark bedroom. You woke up

smell of burning furniture,

smoke across the room and
through the window like a

wrenched open the door you
lost your eyebrows right away.
Flame thrust into the room
with a big hot fist.
So you went out the window.
A cool drop for you and your
wife and one of your boys.
You weren’t going to burn,
you’d just lie there hurting
while the house floated up into
the sky—a thundercloud full of
little red stare.
And the engines came, cry
ing painfully because your
house was burning down. In
side the cloud the roof fell to
the second floor and the second
floor fell to the ground. You
didn’t know you had a broken
back but you knew you didn’t
have a house anymore.

Going by the Atlantic Coast
line buildings their holiday re
ceived an extra dab of gilding.

were happily strewing sand
wich wrappings on the sand.
The ringing of little bells and
volleying of typewriters were
all that was needed to provide
the contrast necessary to com
plete a sense of well being.
GULF OIL TAKES
PROPERTY OPTION
A 60-day option on more than 60
acres of land on the east bank of
the Cape Fear river south of the
shipyard for possible construction
of a new fuel oil terminal has been
taken out by the Gulf Oil company.
M. H. Dameron, Gulf Oil’s dis
trict representative in Fayetteville,
said last night that plans are “still
immature” but added that “if
negotiations are carried out on
schedule” Gulf may erect a “huge
oil terminal on the property before
the end of this year.”
Locally Owned
The property, which lies south
of the Atlantic and Socony-Vacuum
company sites, belongs to A. M.
McKoy, of the Watt.ers-Snipes real
ty firm in Wilmington.
“With negotiations still under
way,” McKoy said last night,
. “neither party is in a position to
I reveal the amount of the proposed
transactions. We hope, however,
that the deal will go through as now
planned.”
Use Cape Fear
According to J. E. Furr, Gulf’s
local distributor, the company at
present uses the facilities of the
Cape Fear terminal for discharge
of Gulfs tankers and storage of
fuel oil.
If the Gulf plans materialize, Wil
mington will get two new terminals
on its busy waterfront. The Sin
clair Oil company has already an
nounced its proposal to construct
a $750,000 terminal on the old Bel
well Cotton Mill company property
and the old Spirittine Chemical
company site, some time in “the
, near future.”

ernment for propaganda purposes.
In separate statements at the
annual AP membership meeting,
the directors and Cooper said
many erroneous reports had been
made concerning the AP’s action.
Cooper commented that “they re
veal the total lack -of belief in the
altruism back of what the Asso
ciated Press is trying to do.”
Discussing the termination of
service to the State department,
the directors observed that “it
has been said repeatedly that the
service which the State depart
ment plans to put out will not be
propaganda but a fair presentation
of the Associated Press report.”
“We hold,” the board said, “that
any broadcast designed to pro
mote our way of life will of neces
sity be propaganda—good propa
ganda possibly, from an American
viewpoint, but certainly not objec
tive news presentation.”
The board'said it had been charg
ed that the AP continued to serve
other governments and thus was
discriminating against our own.
“Contracts with the Canadian
press and the British Broadcasting
company are in process of rene
gotiation to provide only for the
domestic use within their own bor
ders of Associated Press news,”
the board said. “All other con
tracts, including the one with,
Tass, already call for such limited
_it

The board announced it would
meet Tuesday with Assistant Secre
tary of State "William Benton at
Benton’s request to hear “further
views of his department.”
“Such evidence may be con
vincing,’’ the board said, “but
unless it is, the board sees no
reason to modify its position on the
principle laid down in its Jantiary
resolution.’'
Cooper, in referring to the
charge that the AP served other
governments but did not do the
same for the U. S. government,
said:
MORE ABOUT
ALONG THE CAPE FEAR
FROM PAGE ONE
of things dear to all of us along
the Cape Fear, we set the sails
on our Cape Fear frigate and
swept into the fray.
And' what happened? We went
aground on the shoals of no in
formation. We have found out a
staggering sum-total of absolutely
nothing about the Wilmington Tea
Party.
Much as we hate to admit de
feat, we must, right now; this very
minute, in defence and preserva
tion of our mental faculties, knot
up the loose end and concede the
victory to Boston.
TWO DISAPPOINTMENTS—The
second loose end dates back to
Wednesday, April 10, on which day
we published a list of old Wilming
ton hotels Jenny Lind might have
stayed in, if indeed she ever came
to Wilmington at all.
Although we would very much
like to claim the honor for the
Port City, there is nothing we
can do now but deny that Jenny
paid us a visit—because we cer
tainly can’t have her sleeping on a
park bench or wandering around
all night looking for one hospitable
door.
Similarly, we must disappoint
Mr. J. Marion James, perched like
an exiled bird up there in his
Manhattan apartment. Mr. James,
in an effort to blank Manhattan’s
busy dizzy streets from his vision,
asked us to find out about the Old
Plank Road which, he says, ran
from Princess street to Greenville
Sound.
On Thursday, April 11, we tried to
exhume the wooden road from the
Cape Fear country’s sandy soil.
Sorry, Mr. James. We can’t even
find a splinter.
MOPING MEDICINE—Our fourth
loose end began fraying on Friday,
April 12. On that day, you may
recall, we plugged Waunda’s gad
get—the one which “sharpens the
edge of curiosity and stirs up a
few memories”—into thi wall. But
something is wrong with it. We
think it has short-circuited and
blown a brain-fuse in our head.
Anyway, it conjured up a picture
of the horse-drawn streetcars
which supposedly used to ply up
and down the streets of Wilming
ton. At that point it went dead,
and we had to pull the plug out of
tne wan,
It hasn’t worked since (Waunda
writes and says he—or she—has
had the same trouble with it,) so
there is nothing for us to do now
but also pull the “plug” out of
the streetcar harness and say that
horse-drawn streetcars, like the
Wilmington Tea Party, the Jenny
Lind hotel, and the Old Plank
Road, are thin-air dreams that
never thickened.
Okay, doctor. The loose ends are
all knotted up now—but now you’ll
have to mix up a medicine to keep
us from moping.
And find some stout sinew to
sew up our broken heart.

Warm Tribute
Paying warm tribute to the
traditional generosity of the Ameri
can people, the Pope repeatedly ex
pressed hope that the western world
would continue to make a major
contribution to alleviate humanity’s
present dire need for food.
I believe that the pontiff has
confidence that South America,
particularly Argentina—which the
holy father singled out in discus
sion of the famine threat—will help
to rescue great numbers of the
human race who have insufficient
bread.
Participating in the audience
were Virgil Pinkley, United Press
vice-president of Europe, and J.
Edward Murray, Rome manager
of the United Press.
American Jeep
We drove an American jeep
through the sunny streets of Rome
up to the towering dome of Saint
Peters cathedral and thence turned
left to the entrance of the court
yard of Saint Damusus and the
apostolic palace. The blue-clad
Swiss guard with bayoneted rifle
came to attention, saluted and
examined our credentials briefly,
We entered the apostolic palace
and ascended by elevator to the
second floor. We were escorted to
the papal throne room where the
Pope receives ambassadors and
talked briefly with members of
the noble guards, wearing blue and
gold uniforms and carrying cere
monial swords. The throne room
is hung in scarlet and the throne
rests on a red carpeted dais. The
floor is covered with crimson car
pet on which is inscribed around
the edges the latin words for
“Faith, Hope, Charity, Temper
ance, Justice and Providence.”
“Avanti”
After we had talked with the No
ble guards about 10 minutes, Har
old MacMillan, former member of
the Allied commission for Italy
and now a Conservative member
of the House of Commons, emerged
from the Pope’s library. We were
next on the audience list. The mon
signor in waiting to the pontiff,
clad in purple robes, examined our
credentials and said, “Avanti (for
ward).”
We went through three rooms in
the Pope’s private apartments in
each of which was stationed a
member of the noble guard who
saluted as we passed. Finally we
came to a plain wooden door which
the monsignor-in - waiting opened
and pshered us into the papal li
brary.
The holy father smiled a wel
come as we advanced and bowed
and shook hands. We took seats in
three red covered chairs before
his desk.
Function Of Journalism
The pontiff glanced at our letters
of introduction and opened the con
versation by addressing each of us
by name. The discussion proceeded
then on the role and function of
journalism in world affairs and at
the suggestion of the Pope we gave
our impressions on conditions in
the various countries we had visit
ed.
me nory ismer empaasizea me
urgent need of a free flow of news
and information to all parts of the
world, especially at the present
time, as a contribution in promot
ing better relations among nations
whiah he rgarded as essential to
lasting peace.
The pontiff impressed upon us
the great responsibility and oppor
tunity newspapers and radio have
to disseminate truly democratic
ideas and ideals through the distri
bution of impartial information.
Freedom Of Expression
From discussion of our prob
lems as journalists in reporting the
news in various parts of the world
I gained the impression the holy
father has hoped that objective in
formation will continue to circulate
and penetrate the areas which have
been deprived by war of freedom
of thought and expression.
I mentioned the Pope’s visit to
the United States in 1936 when he
was the papal secretary of state
and he recalled having travelled
across the country by plane. He
spoke in warm terms of America
as a great and generous country
and expressed the belief that the
United States would be among the
leaders in reconstructing the war
torn world.
Food Need Urgent
As happened so freqently during
the audience the conversation again
turned to food and the holy father
expressed the urgency of getting
any food surpluses in the western
hemisphere to areas of famine. I
received the impression his great
est expectation was that the needy
areas would receive grain from
both North and South America,
particularly the United States and
aigenuna.
As the conversation proceeded the
Pope frequently gestured with his
long, artistic hands and the light
reflected against his papal ring, set
with a deep sapphire stone. He
smiled frequently and spoke in
soft even tones, often graciously
soliciting our opinions on many
subjects in most democratic fash
ion.
Before him on fee desk was a
clock, a brown portfolio filled with
papers and three ordinary pens
with steel points standing upright
in a box.
Papal Library
At the end of the desk was a
box filled with rosaries and sacred
■medallions. The papal library is a
large room, hung in red. The
Pope’s desk is just to fee right of
the entrance door.
A number of small gilt chairs are
brought out and placed in front
of the desk when the Pope grants
an audience. No books were in the
t
A /1A* f I » X V* > I —
lection of the library in which we
were received. The books are kept
in other rooms and brought in to
the pontiff when he desires them.
My impression is that the Pope
would be pleased if the peace
treaties were formulated speedily,
especially the one with Italy, The
Pope seemed especially concerned
with Italy’s need for the stabilizing
influence of a definite treaty as
soon as possible.
At the end of the audience the
holy father pressed a button be
side his desk, summoning the mon
signor in waiting. We rose and the
holy father extended to us his per
sonal blessing with a gentle move
ment of his right hand in the sign
of the cross

time since the war. The Port
land vase, which, though smashed
by vandals a century ago, is
worth more than $200,000 in its
restored state, also will be watch
ed by augmented guards.
The Astor robbery probably will
delay exhibition of the British
crown jewels until recently order
ed photo-electric protective de
vices are installed.
Scotland Yard agents, present
ed with their most daring and
largest robbery in years, cabled
details of the crime to the United
States and the continent. They
guarded ports and airfields
throughout the British Isles, to
keep the bandits from escaping to
Holland, Belgium or France.
The agents said they had “sev
eral valuable clues,” but they did
not indicate whether they had any
suspects. The belief grew that
the robbery was committed by an
international gang, working on
direct assignment, and with a pur
chaser in view.
Every art collector and conois
seur in the world is familiar with
the Astor collection, and it was
emphasized that no legitimate
collector would have anything to
do with the 1,500 pieces stolen.
Scotland Yard agents feared that
black market profiteers on the
continent had determined to get
the collection for the mere thrill
of possession. It was not likely
that the thieves would ' break up
gold and jeweled pieces, because
most of their value lay in histori
cal association.
But just 16 pieces of the stolen
collection were estimated to be
worth $200,000.
Among the clues were the tire
tracks of a Rolls-Royce sedan the
bandits used to escape after the
robbery at dawn Sunday, and a
small, round cigarette lighter
which they were believed to have
dropped.

President Truman who is on an
ocean-going 'vacation aboard the
U. S. aircraft carrier Franklin D.
Roosevelt off the Virginia capes,
was notified of Stone’s death by
Navy radio.
To Mr. Truman falls the task
of selecting Stone’s successor from
among the present associate
justices.
There was no inkling Monday
night who that might be.
Customary Procedure
The President can go outside
the tribunal to choose the chief
justice if he desires, but it is
customary to pick a man on the
high bench.
Early speculation centered on
Associate Justice Robert H.
Jackson, of New York, chief
American prosecutor at the Nuren
berg war criminal trials. There
was talk when Jackson got that
post that it would be a spring
I board to the chief justiceship when
I • « m__ _ J
Ui J-L tJl-Uiiv A c
Justice Hugo L. Black of fUa
bama also could be in line for the
post. As next ranking justice, he
will serve in Stone’s capacity un
til his successor is chosen.
Sole Appointee
Stone’s death left Justice Harold
H. Burton of Cleveland as Presi
dent Truman’s sole appointee, as
the only remaining Republican on
the bench.
Some guesses were that Mr.
Truman would move a Democrat
into the chief justiceship and ap
point a Republican to succeed the
promotee.
When Mr. Truman chose Bur
ton he was under strong pressure
from western Senators to name
a far Westerner—a man familiar
with mining, irrigation and other
industries indigenous to the west.
One of those proposed was Judge
Orie L. Phillips of Denver, of
the 10th Federal circuit court of
appeals. Another was James H.
Wolfe of the Utah Supreme court
who has aided Mr. Truman on
labor matters.
Great Dissenter
Stone, whose name a decade ago
was linked with those of Justices
Brandeis and Cardozo among the
great “dissenters” of the modern
court, delivered his last dissent
ing opinion just before he was
stricken.
In it he arguea against a majori
ty decision granting citizenship
to a Canadian-born Seventh Day
Adventist who had protested that
his religious beliefs prohibited
him from bearing arms in de
fense of the United States.
Soon after reading his minority
opinion, he was taken ill. He wai
helped to his offices by two asso
ciates and examined there by Dr.
George Calver, congressional phy
sician, who pronounced him in no
danger.
Calver said tee attack was «
“slight” one and that opinion was
concurred in by Stone’s personal
physician, Dr. H. A. Grennan.
Ordered To Rest
He was sent home by Grennan
under orders to take a few days’
rest.
White House Press Secretary
Eben Ayres confirmed that word
of Stone’s death had been flashed
to Mr. Truman and that he expect
ed a message from him late Mon
day night or early Tuesday.
News of Stone’s death saddened
the capital.
Former Chief Justice Hughes
said he was “inexpressibly shocked
and grieved.”
“Justice Stone was a very dear
friend and a most esteemed col
league,” he said. “In the passing
of this great judge and public serv
ant, the country has suffered an ir
reparable loss.”
Associate Justice Felix Frank
further said that he was “to over
whelmed to say anything.”
Nation Suffers Loss
Justice Burton said the nation has
suffered a great loss at a critical
time.
“His experience, learning, in
dustry and high loyalty to his con
stitutional duty made him an in
valuable member of the court.
Mrs. Stone, the former Agnes
Harvey, and their two sons were
with him when he died. The sons
are Marshall H. Stone, of Cam
bridge, Mass., and Col. Lauson H.
Stone, U. S. Army retired, of New
Vnrlr
The chief justice was born in
Chesterfield, N. H„ on Oct. 11,
1872, the son of Frederick Lausen
Stone and Ann Sophia Stone.
He graduated from Amherst col
lege with a bachelor of science
degree irr 1894 and studied law at
13 other universities and colleges
during the next 34 years. Columbia
university, Yale, Princeton, George
Washington and the University of
Chicago were among the schools
he attended.
He was admitted to the New
York bar in 1898 and lectured in
law from 1899 to 1902. He became a
law professor that year and served
as dean of the Columbia university
School of Law from 1910 to 1923.
In 1924, he was appointed U. S.

The letter was dated March 22,
a month ago, and patently was
modified by the worsening of con
ditions in the months since the
close, Dec. 31, 1945, of the quarter
for which UNRRA was reporting.
More than Sum
The report itself commented that
‘‘starvation, plague, exposure,
isolation—these and other ills could
have been dealt with singly. But
collectively they made for liabili
ties in which the total was more
than the sum of the parts.”
It had been hoped, UNRRA said,
that the last If45 quarter would
permit a considerable shift to re
habilitation measure^ to help the
devastated countries to take over
more of their own supply task.
But “between August and De
cember things took a turn for the
worse,” the report added, attribut
ing a large part of that turn to
local crop failures and manpower
and transportation shortages.
“The continued urgency of the
demands for food, fuel and trans
portation,” it said, “necessitated
the curtailment of supplies of raw
materials and equipment for the
rehabilitation of agriculture and

of cotton clothing production from

Six weeks ago CPA restored a
wartime regulation which requires
cotton fabric producers to t'rrn out

a move paralleled by its yarn
price boost Monday.
More Fabrics Expected
CPA said its new yarn freeze
will assure fabrics for such cotton
items as shirts, shorts, pajamas,
dresses and work clothing. In ad

Under the freeze regulations
cotton spindles which produced
certain yarns on Dec. 31, 1945,
must be returned to manufacture
of such yarns.
CPA said that as a result of this
