its investment in telephone assets
devoted to long lines service. He
said reduction Of prices where

Of those repairs have won COM
mendation from Secretary OF the
Navy Knox for Capt. Lawrence r.
Hougen, whose wife lives at $40
Cumberland avenue, Chevy Chase,
Md.
Among the difncult tasks on the
Hougen log was the temporary re-
pair of the destroyer Kearney after
she had been torpedoed between
Iceland and Scotland on October
II, l94l. The Kearny was escorted
to Iceland by two destroyers and
laid along side a repair ship.
Capt. Hougen new to the site, and
after an examination. decided that
the Kearny could be repaired. A
Golfer dam was built and the de-
stroyer was given temporary repair
that enabled her to return to the
Boston Navy Yard under her own
power for complete repairs. Had
the necessary repairs In Iceland not
been successful the Kearny would
have had to remain there until sum-
n1er when good weather again came,
Capt. Hougen also is credited with

Prisoners Execution
by the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
RALEIGH, N. c., Dec. l6.-Wil-
liam Mason Wellmon, colored la
borer who was scheduled to die in
the gas chamber Friday on a crimi-
nal assault conviction, looked for
ward today to at least 90 more days
of life and the bright prospect that
he would probably be freed as an
innocent man.
In announcing a 60-day reprieve
last night, Gov. Broughton said his
doubt OF Wellmon's guilt was so
strong that If his impression were
confirmed he would release him.
Wellmon was arrested in Wash
ington several months ago, brought
back to North Carolina and con-
victed of attacking a 67-year old
Iredell County white woman. He
contended at his trial that he was
working at Fort Belvoir, Va, on
February IL, l94l, the date of the
crime
The Governor said State hand
writing experts had identified Well
mons name on Fort Belvoir pay
roll receipts for that day as having
been written by the accused man.
