MEADOWS TRIAL
STILL IN JURY

GREENVILLE, March % IN
The case of DR.. Leon R. Meadows.
which has set a new record as the
longest criminal trial in the States

county jury tonight and there was
no indication how long Judge Claw

ors to deliberate.
Trial Of the former educator,
charged with embezzlement and
false pretense in connection with
his handling of special and student
funds while president of East Caro-
lima Teachers College, now is in its
eighth week. The jury took the
case at 1880 pm, Tuesday and
has broken its deliberations only
once. that time to ask for copies
of the remaining seven embezzle-
ment counts.
Originally there were Is counts
Of embezzlement, but Judge Will
liams allowed non-suits for nine,
and allowed a non-suit on part OF
the false pretense charge. The
original counts listed more than
s18, 1000 as allegedly embezzled, but
the Judges rulings trimmed the
amount to something over $4,000.
The State tried to show, both in
evidence and in arguments, that
Meadows. who owns considerable
real estate here, diverted the mon
ey to his own use and used col
lege labor on his own property;
but the defense tried to show that
Meadows had properly accounted
for every cent, and that, as a mat
ter Of fact, he had spent some OF
his own money for the college.

Federal Works Agency Advance Planning Program

Of the $15,000,OO0 made avail able by the Federal Government for advance planning, approxim- ately $11,000,OO0 has been re- quested by applicants throughout the nation, who have submitted a total of 1,058 applications. Most of these applications have come from the central states.
 Presumably the concentration of war activities on the Pacific Coast has diverted attention from the advance planning program in this region. The sum of 194,844 was allotted to the State of Wash ington; however, only $85,992 of this amount has so far been re- quested, only eligible applica- tions having been received. Ore gon with a total allotment of SPA, ,206 has submitted eligible applications in total amount of
The Nome nugget., 1945-09-14

$85,992. Montana has submitted Is eligible applications in a total amount of $159,694, or nearly twice the sum of $84,875 allotted for that state. It is expected that additional Federal funds will be made available. Idaho with an al- lotment of $84,875, has not yet submitted any applications. Alas ka with a similar amount allotted to it has submitted only 3 appli- cations in the total amount of $13,000. It is understood, however, that a number of additional ap-r plications are now being prepared for submission by Alaska commit mites.
 MT. L. R. Durkee, Division En- gineer Northwest area) of the Bureau of Community Facilities, Federal Works Agency, Seattle, Washington, says that the cessa- ton of hostilities in the Pacific will unquestionably result in marked and immediate increase in advance planning applications.
 The Federal funds made avail able to applicants for this purpose are to be repaid if, as and when construction starts. No interest is charged for the use of hese funds.

Free News Rule
May Come Up

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. CUP)-
U. S. officials eager to promote in
ternational concord on world free
dom of news were understood We'd
nesday to be considering adding the
topic to the program fer the forth
coming United Nations conference
at San Francisco.
Although state department plans
for a world news freedom proposal
still are immature, an official said,
it is possible that the groundwork
may be laid by April 25 when the
security meeting begins.
1t was expected that by then most
of the nations newspaper publish

well as most of the Latin American
republics. will have agreed on a
policy to foster these guarantees to

3. Equal treatment on communi-

Water Council Suggests
New State Authority

SACRAMENTO, Feb. %. CUP)-
The California water council We'd
nesday asked its legislative commit
tee to draft a bill which would
create new state water authority.
According to Milton Kidd, council
PRECEDENT, the new authority would
be given jurisdiction over all state
water conservation matters. 1t
would replace the present water
project authority which was created
when the central valleys project
was first adopted, Kidd said.
Eventually the water authority
might be placed in charge of state
flood control administration also,
Kidd added. In the meantime, he
said, the water council will seek
passage of a bill which was intro
duced in January by Senator Brad

Carnage Marks
IWo's Shores

TWO JIMA, Feb 90. (UP)-The
invasion beach of this island,
stormed four days ago by marines
in the face of blistering Japanese
mortar and artillery fire, is a scene
of indescribable Wreckage-all OF it
ours.
For two miles extending north
ward from Mount Suribachi at the
southern tip of the island is a
thick layer of debris. Wrecked
hulls of scores of boats to testify
to the price we paid to get cur
troops ashore on this vital island.
CURTAIN OF FIRE
For two continuous days and
nights, japanese artillery, rockets
and heavy mortars laid a curtain
of fire along the shore Their Weap-
ems had been aimed at the beach
long before we landed. They couldn't
miss and they didn't.
Volcanic sand on this beach is
so soft that many of our vehicles
were mired down before they had
gone 10 feet. In addition, a terrace
few yards from the water ham,
pered their movements SC that they
became an easy prey for japanese
gunners.
Only a few trucks got ashore and
for two days practically all supplies
moved by hand to the front. Even
the unconquerable jeep was stuck.
One can see amphibian tractors
turned upside down like pancakes
on griddle; derricks brought
ashore tC unload cargo are tilted at
insane angles where shells blasted
them: anti-tank guns were smashed
before they had a chance to fire a
shot. Even some bulldozers landed
too early to clear a path for follow
ing vehicles. Artillery could not
be landed for "a hours.
DEBRIS EVERYWHERE
Packs, clothing, gas masks and
toilet articles, many of them ripped
by shrapnel, are scattered across
the sand for five miles. Rifles are
blown in half. Even letters are
streWn among the debris as though
the war insisted On prying into a
mans personal life.

Five liquor establishments in

were considered by the state board
of equalization in matters connect
ed with their liquor licenses.
In El Centre area Angelo Buglit-
sis Eucalyptus store on highway
80 was denied an on-sale beer IL
cense on evidence showing the store
is close to school and that the ap-
plicant fer the license previously
had violated the alcoholic beverage
control act. John S. Rogers appli-
cation for an on-sale beer license
for the jolly Roger drive-in at
1859 Main street, Ell Centre, was
denied on showing of previous vio-
lation of the act.
The license of B. F. Coppenger,
Sticks Place at 484 Holt avenue,
Holtville, was suspended Is days on
evidence showing the premises had
been operated in a disorderly man
ner. The license of Felicitis MejiaS,
Chitas Place, 469 Holt, in Holtville,
