JURY RECOMMENDS
new COUNTY Home

The New Hanover Grand Jury
yesterday recommended in its re-
port to Judge Clawson L. Williams,
presiding judge of the July term
of Criminal court, construction of
a new county home.
The Grand Jury also recon-
mended that the new home be To-
Gated about two miles northeast of
Wilmington, north of the railroad
and near U. S. Highway 1T.
''1t is the opinion of this Grand
jury that the Commissioners should
at once adopt definite plan of
procedure as to the future opera
ton of the home, which should be
promulgated to the general public
through the press, and that at the
first opportunity there should be
built new home, properly plan
ned, so that it may be operated
efficiently, as well as in a strictly
sanitary manner, leaving the pres
ent buildings to be used for pris-
oners and outbuildings on the farm.
The new home should be located
north of the railroad and near the
highway. The wards of the county
should be at all times properly TAX
en- care of regardless Of the cost, :"
the report stated.

the chairman of the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners regarding the
complaints and recommendations

recommendations have been COM

ARMY ISSUES NEW
APPEAL FOR MORE
SCOUT DUTY DOGS

WASHINGTON, July 25,-R)-
Many of the dogs offered to the
Army for scout duty against the
Japanese have had to be rejected,
and an appeal was issued today
for 800 new canine recruits by Sept.
Is.
A campaign began May l to
enlist 1000 dogs for training. Dog
owners responded with offers of
about 5000 but most of the ami
mails were rejected because of i'm
proper temperament and a heart
ailment determinable only by mi
croscopic examination.
German Shepherd and Belgian
sheep dogs have proved most
adaptable but other acceptable
breeds include Doberman Pins
cheers, Collies and Giant Schnau-
zers. After training they are able
to detect the enemy at $50 to 400
yards-further if the wind is in the
dogs favor.

also numerous buses were in need

The committee also found that

regarding the conditions of the con-
crete floor where the buses are
repaired has received no attention.
The Grand jury also wishes to call
to the attention of the court that
the major portion of tires on these
buses are from four to eight years
OF age, the mechanic in charge
having only received two new tires
during the past year. The Grand
jury feels that it is exceedingly
dangerous for these buses to be
placed on the highways with these
tires and recommends that new
tires be obtained and placed on
these buses. The Grand jury also
finds that the space used for re-
pairing buses is too small and in.
adequate to properly service them,
and recommends that the mechan.

Cornell Publishes First Volume on Maritime Radio

To quote from the introduction to MARINE RADIO MANUAL pulp hshed by the Cornell Maritime Press, "No volume gathering to- gether all the diverse information necessary for the training of ships radio operators and needed by the operators themselves on the job has been published before" This is the first attempt to cover in one volume tn subject of maritime radio opera ting thoroughly and in detail.
 Edited by Morris Harvey Strich- artz, the book conforms to the Cor nell policy of publishing books on maritime subjects by men engaged in the specific maritime occupa- 2tions about which they write. As a matter of fact, much of the work on MARINE RADIO MANUAL was done by StrichartZ at sea.
 MARINE RADIO MANUAL should be of inestimable value to all ship radio operators and all stu- dents training for ship radio opera tion. Included are sample radio telegrams and charts; two maps of Navy and Commercial coast stations giving working frequencies and cor responding wave lengths which are open to public correspondence = one of the West and the other of the East Coast; two maps showing the Radio-beacon system one of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and the other of the Pacific Coast and Islands.

son hit the nail on the head in the following statement: ''The com pletely voluntary mediation, arbi- tratiOn and fact finding of the Rail- way Act were able to prevent prac- tically all rail and airline strikes during the war period, until Govern ment authorities tried to impose compulsory methods on procedures of the Act. Despite the Compulsory decisions of the War Labor Board, backed by the Presidents war powers and the Smith, -COnnalIy Act, we had in l944 the greatest number of strikes on record. with 1945 promising to be worse still. In the light of this record it is hard to un- derstand the predilection of the bills authors for compulsory arbi- tratiOn."
 Dragging labor disputes into civil courts, as proposed by the B2H bill, is seen by Leiserson as further provocatiOn of unrest and strikes. ''Naive faith in the effec- tiveness of cOmpulsion,'' he de- clared, ''alsO leads the drafters of the bill to provide for civil action in the courts, both by the media tiOn board and by individuals against any party to labor dispute who fails to perform duties i'm con- nectiOn with mediation. Nothing could more effectively stop efforts to settle disputes by mutual agree. ments than the mere threat of such lawsuits. The Wagner Act defines in clear terms five unfair practices of employers that interfere with legal right of employees. These are dis carded in the B2H bill.'
 Leiserson cautioned "The fantastic results of the Smith Connally Act should be warning"
 AFL President Green pointed out that the research which produced the bill Twas financed by a group of en- ployer representatives. The drafting of the bill was entrusted to a lawyer who has played both sides of the economic fence in pursuit of fees rather than principles. Never at any time," Green continued, Twas any qualified representative of labor con- suited or asked for advice. Yet labor is chiefly affected by the bills pro- visions.
 MAJOR FAULTS
 Major faults of the B2H bill, Green said, are as follows:

Labor Launches Au>Out Attack Against
 Strait>jacket Planned By Three Senators

WASHINGTON OPA)- Organ ized labor and its friends last week tore into the proposed Federal La bOr Relations Act on radio pro- grams and in daily newspaper ar ticles and as a result the chances rapidly diminished that the bill will ever reach the Senate intact.
 Of prime interest to labor lead- CTS was the fact that no parallel bill had been introduced in the House nor did Senators Ball, Bur- ton or Hatch, supposed authors of the measure, know who would in- trOduced it in the House. Hearings cannot be held until November at the earliest. Between now and then labor expects to have the bill torn to shreds.
 'WOULD TURN CLOCK BACK"
 AFL leaders ripped into the B21 bill which has been described as the worst piece of anti-union legislation since the war started. AFL Presi- dent Green declared that the B2H bill seeks to turn the clock back in America" CIO Secretary-T Treasurer James Carey refused to debate the bill on radio broadcast and charged that the legislation was "a publicity stunt by Donald Richberg, who actually wrote the bill, "to make his services attractive to corporations intent on weakening and destroying labor unions"
 Dr. William Leiserson, one of the nations top-notch labor relations authorities and member of the Ma tional Labor Relations Board for five years, condemned the legislation par ticularly for its effect of tearing the Wagner Act apart and making arbi- tration compulsory.
 AFL leaders have cOntended that the bill would ''enslave'' and ''straitjacket'' labor and that it would wreck practically all the gains that unions have made dur ing the past IF years. Ball, Burton and Hatch have meanwhile filled the Congressional Record with speeches, editorials and news stories supporting B2H but no Congress- man has yet placed in the Record opposition material.
 Green cOntended that the B2H Bill authors ssseem to have forgot ten the century of economic Op- pressiOn which preceded the decade of industrial democracy the nation

Even Csc Hourly
 Called Inadequate

WASHINGTON-(FP)-An annual wage of $l, ,95O is a maintenance budget" for a family in l945, according to figures of the Bureau of Labor Statistics presented be- fore the Senate education and labor committee this week.
 Speaking in behalf of the 65c minimum hourly pay bill (S l349), Acting Commissioner of Labor Statistics A. F. Hinrichs said they had found that ''the average breakeven point for ur- ban families of two or more per sons was about ,425 in 1935-36, about 1,475 in 1941, and $l,9 ,95O after income taxes in 1914. "
 Csc INADEQUATE
 On the basis of 40 hour work week for 50 weeks, Csc hourly pay yields $500 annually, or $65O less than the maintenance budget" Expenses i'm the budget are minimum - including food, clothing, housing and some medi- cal care. Anything below would ,endanger the health standard of the family, Hinrichs said.
 Sen. Allen Ellender O., La.), talk ing a strong stand against the bill, argued that never in American his tory had working men had every thing proposed by this income" but yet this country maintained the high est living standard in the world.
 When Hinrichs mentioned that Australia had fewer living below the minimum standard, Ellender said, "But they have socialism. You don't want that do you9"
 Sen. George Aiken (R, Vt.) in- ferrupted to say he hoped 'we don't ever reach the point where we have to choose between social ism and feudalism."

 2. The bill would revive the nefariOus practice of permitting courts to issue injunctions against labor. That practice was killed by the NOrris-La Cuardia Act.
 3. The right of contract is seri. Ously impaired by the bill which would prohibit labor and manage ment from entering into voluntary closed shop agreements except on an arbitrary and unavoidable per centage basis.
 4. The bill would nullify inn pOrtant projections of the Wagner Act and limit its scope by exempt. ing small employers from obliga. tions required of industry engaged in interstate commerce.
 Another reason for the optimism of labor leaders is that the bill has been referred to the Senate Commit tee on Education and Labor, the near est thing to a pro-labor committee in either Congressional chamber.

 "CRAZY" PROVISION

Overtime was reduced to time and a half during the war, starting with government work. For a time after the time and half was ordered some locals did not countenance overtime work but all finally fell in line. After VJ-day refusal to work overtime at less than doubletime was again used as a successful lever to restore the higher rate on all jobs.
