ShipyQrd Counsel Protests

calling by the latter of Percy F.

company.
Before Trial Examiner j. j.
Fitzpatrick, veteran Midwestern
Jurist and attorney who. has ~serv-
ed six years in his present capa-
city, Maj. L. P. McLendon rose
to describe as 'too shocking" a
proposal by William J. Av1utis,
NLRB attorney, that records of
the present case be consolidated

General Says Antwerp
Harbor Allows Allies
Ample Port Capacity

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-(P)-Open-
ing of Antwerp harbor despite
German sabotage attempts, plus
use of other Continental ports, has
given the Army Transportation
Corps more than enough port
capacity to supply our armies,
Maj. Gen. Charles P. Gross, Army
chief of transportation, said to-
night in a speech prepared for .
radio broadcast here.
Speaking on the Port Parade"
program, sponsored by the New
York port of embarkation of the
Army Transportation Corps over
station WNEW, Gen. Gross con-
trasted the present supply situa-
ton with that of six monhs ago.
Nov we have Cherbourg, Lee
Havre, Rouen and-most important
of all Antwerp" he said. 1T is
a source of great satisfaction to
be able to say that Antwerp not
only is in operation, but also pro-
vides us with more than enough
port capacity to do our job of sup
ply. In one month alone, we now
are discharging more than 1000
900 tons of supplies in our Con.
tinental ports.''

Greensboro law firm retained by
the shipyard.
After Examiner Fitzpatrick had
denied his motion as pointless,
since the previous case was closed
and hence subject only to judicial
notice as precedent source, Mr..
Avrutis explained that he had
hoped it would simplify the estab-
lishment of background in the case.
A few minutes later, Maj. Nc
Lendon moved that the snipyard' S
counsel be given an amplified bill
of particulars, dealing in detail
with the ITO alleged offenses COM
prising the Boards charge. Mr..
Avrutis replied with some heat
that the shipyard was itself in
default in the matter of furnish
ing information, a statement which
Maj. McLendon retorted was
grossly unfair
After listening to Maj. McLen-
don's explanation that "having the
charges disclosed one by one" by
the proponents witnesses would
cause delay in rebuttal, Examiner
Fitzpatrick denied his motion but
announced that the hearing would

NEW BILL WOULD
FINANCE HARBOR
FACILITIES HERE

Financing of the construction OF
public terminals and tobacco ware
houses for the Port OF Whining
ton by either the City or County,
acting separately or jointly, Will
be possible if the 1945 Legislature
passes an act to extend the period
during which New Hanover county
and its municipalities may issue
revenue bonds, City Attorney W..
B Campbell disclosed yesterday.
Both the City and County nave
been approached on this matter
but have made no commitments
Mr.. Campbell said. However,
both want the authority so that in
the event they should determine
to issue bonds to cover the build
ing of the port facilities, they
would be able to.
Prior to 1913, Statewide reve-
nue. bond act provided that any
city or county could issue revenue
bonds to construct any projects
named in the act. This covered
nractically any facility that mu-
nicipality would require, including
stadiums, airports, and sewer sys-
TENS.
Mr.. Campbell explained that
during the 1913 session, when the
New Hanover representatives tried
to extend the life Of that act, look
ing toward tne possible purchase
of the Tide Water Power Co.,
by the City, they were unable to
do so. All. they could do was. to
extend the facility provisions Of
the Statewide act for the benefit
Of municipalities in New Hanover
county, actually the City of Viii
mington. And this expires March
1, 1945."
The purpose of the new bill spe
ficially is ITO give the City and
County each authority acting sepa.
rately or jointly, to issue revenue
bonds. Each may determine what
proportion it is desired to partlcl'
pate in such an. issue he said.
Mention was made of local
bond issue to finance building Oh
the port facilities at, meeting
October 10 of the Port Commits
sion, City Council, and Board q
County Commissioners. Discussion
was also held on the possibilities
of an ALLEGATION of State. Planning

Last July matters of strategic

Nimitz and Macarthur.
These personal meetings have
