The Only Newspaper In The World That Gives A Whoop About Onslow County Z'nw\°! tZESFSEEtZ* ternoon. k'OL. XV, NO. 130 JACKSONVILLE, N. C FRIDAY AFTERNOON. JUNE 27, 1952 member of the associated press price 5c Down East w ifh Billy Arthur Not so long ago a former UNC classmate. Jack Wardlaw, turned up in the book writing field. Now comes another friend doing like wise. He's Lt. Col. Frank Mallen, USMC. a former newspaper pub lisher in upper New York, Tucka hoe to be exact. I first knew Frank when he re 'orted in as a reserve at Camp ^ejeune during World War II and was head of the reclamation and salvage outfit. Then he drew a stint overseas before leaving serv ice again. In the interim he got interested in Walter Thompson's Hushpuppy Mix and tried to help out for a very brief spell before going back home and settling down to publishing the Westchester Law Journal and do ing research work. That latter led into his book "You've Got It Coming to You.'' It contains the answers to veterans rights, benefits and privileges in and out of the services. I'm not one to comment on the actual value of the book, but a casual reading gave me information I'd never thought of or heard of. Wednesday a week ago the Lions planned a two-party fishing trip, one party in the morning and one in the afternoon. Art Innes went down for the first morning trip, and the weather was so tough that they were unable to get outside. "I'm telling you one thing right now." Art declared. "No more morning fishing for me; I'm not getting up at 3:30 a.m. and rid ing all the way to the coast and not knowing whether you're gonna get to go fishing. No more of that stuff for me. I'm going in the afternoon from now on." So the Lions postponed their trip until Wednesday of this week. You guessed it, one of the party on the early morning trip was Art —the same guy who was going to the dog races without betting.

Labor Party Will Attempt Overthrow Of Churchill LONDON (JT)—The Labor Party, moved today to force a House of! Commons showdown on the failure! of the United States to notify Brit ain in advance of the Yalu River power plant bombings in North Korea. The party filed a formal motion.; for debate next Tuesday, demand-1 ing that the Conservative govern-; ment make "improved arrange-1 ments" for prior consultations on, such matters in the future. The resolution also "regrets" the fail ure rf the government to obtain such consultation prior to the Yalu River strikes. Such a motion could be construed by Prime Minister Winston Church ill as a motion of censure of his government and—if carried—could force him to ask for the dissolu tion of Parliament and a new na tional election. Parliamentary press veterans said, however, that the resolution was mildly enough worded so that Churchill has the option of not ac cepting it is a censure motion. The text of the resolution: "While appreciating that the gov •nment and armed forces of the ) S. A. have borne the major ire of the burden of resisting .med aggression in Korea, (the House o! Commons) regrets the fii!u?e of the government to secure effective ccnsu'-tstien cn th« of certain air operations, aod con siders that improved arrangements should now be made to enable such consultations to take place between the governments principally con corned on issues of United Nations ! policy in the Far East." U. S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson apologized to members ot Parliament yesterday for U. S. fail ure to notify Britain of the Yalu, raids in advance and explained the ! circumstances of the oversight. Earlier, he had notified Foreign j Secretary Anthony Eden that the United States would be happy to have a British officer on the staff | of Gen. Mark W. Clark, the U. N. 1 commander in the Far East, for closer liaison. The Socialists, spurred by Ache-! son's apology, were confidently pre-; dieting the overthrow of the Churchill government. *'! think we shall be in power again very shortly," former I.abor Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee told a meeting of Socialist Unions last night. The mild tone of his censure mo tion, however, led some political observers to speculate that the So cialists are not anxious for an all out test of strength right away. Churchill has already taken much of the sting out of the motion by gaining President Truman's ap proval to a high level British link vith the United Nations forces fighting in Korea UN TRUCE HEAD WALKS OUT ON TALKS ★ ★★ ★★★★★ ★★★ No Relief In Sight As Temperature Reaches 102 Shown above is the new sub-station at Folkstone of the Jones-Onslow Electric Membership Cor poration which was placed in operation this week.
