MILL IN LUMBERTON
Jennings Cotton Mill Workers, It's In
Number, Walk Out
Today

Lumberton, June 7-(AP)-A strike
closed the Jennings Cotton Mills in
North Lumberton today.
John Roberts, one of the en-
ployees said the IT'S workers on the
day shift struck in protest against an
alleged stretch-out.
The spinning department, Roberts
charged, eliminated six workers, and
divided their duties among the re-
mainder of the force.
Miles Horton an organizer for the
Textile Workers Organizer Commit
tee,, an affiliate of the c. l. O., said
the T. w. o. G. had no connection
with the walkout.
Whether or not the night shift, also
employing It's, would walk out was
not made clear.
H. B. Jennings, president of the
mills, said it had been found neces-
sary to adjust working conditions
since the mill went on eight hours
day instead of II at the request OF
employees.

Unprecedented Flow of
Gold to u. S. Past Two
Weeks

London, June 7.-(AP)-The price
of bar gold was pegged at $34.72 a
fine ounce on the London market to-
day in an effort to stem the flow of
the precious metal to the United
States.
The new price is an advance of 9.S
cents to the ounce.
The new price cut the profits ex-
porters stood to make by gold ship
ments to the United States.
At today's price for the pound ster-
ling, shippers of the yellow metal
stood to profit about five cents an
ounce, compared to about IA cents
Saturday.
The narrowing of the margin be-
tween the London price and the gov
eminent fixed price of $35 in New
York shipments left profits intended
to encourage selling on the London
market. London sales today were
1862 bars, valued at about 1868, 600
as compared with 465 bars valued at
about $6,484,0O0 Saturday.
Bullion dealers explained that 1t
costs about % cents an ounce to ship
to New York at the $35 price SO that
shippers must buy at $34.77 an ounce
in order to make a profit.
What part the British equalization
might have played in the move today
was not disclosed. The bullion brok-
ers, who fixed the price, said 1t was
the result of a smaller supply and
increased demand"

CAMERA LINKED

MIAMI. Fla, Dec. 2.--An ingenious
camera developed by Government
bureau is helping to make flying safer.
It's use was described at today's ses-
sion of the National Association OF
State Aviation officials by A. B. Nc
Mullen, chief of the airport section
OF the Bureau of Air Commerce.
The camera, McMullen explained,
automatically records the landing and
take-off characteristics of all types Of
airplanes-how fast they climb. their
rate of acceleration and their per-
formance at varying attitudes.
These data, in turn, are used to de-
termine the size and character of the
airport needed for the operation of the
planes.
Bureau records show that 10 to is
per cent of air accidents are at
tributable to inadequate or faulty
landing facilities.
Calling for the formulation of a
national airport program, McMullen
said. All plans for the development
of civil airports should be closely CO.
ordinated with plans for national de-
fense"
Gill Robb Wilson, aviation director
for the State of New Jersey and out
going president of the association, in
his annual report suggested establish
ment of a Federal aviation commits
