CRUISER REPAIRS
REQUIRE Y DAYS

WASHINGTON, July 7. -P)-
An average of 875 workers spent
II days at the Terminal Island
Calf, Naval dry docks repairing
damage to the light cruiser COL
umbia, inflicted by japanese air
attack at Lingayen Gulf.
The Navy reported today the &C
ton cost the Columbia 1874 casual
ties, including 600 killed and l24
wounded.
Hit by a large bomb aft on the
main deck while engaged in shore
bombardlnent prior to the Lingayen
landings, the Columbia stuck to
her post for three days until the
beaches were secure before she
retired from the battle area.
Now the Columbia, her damage
repaired, is back in action.
She saw action at Guadalcanal,
Kennel Island, New Georgia, Rem
dova, Treasury, Bougainville, En-
press Augusta and Palau before be-
ing disabled.
For more than two months she
had operated in Philippine Wa
ters. At Leyte she helped cover
the Sixth Army landings.
She participated in the battle OF
Surigeo Straits, where she threw
more than IS tons of steel at the
enemy. She remained in the Leyte
area for more than 80 days, fur
nishing protection against surface
and air attacks.
The Columbia was one of the
first ships to enter the Mindanao
and Sulu seas to cover the Min
do~o landings.
Then came the Lingayen Gull
action. Beginning Jan. 6 in mid-aft.
Groom of the first day, two "zekes
came out of the clouds to strafe
and bomb. One, although hit and
burning, crashed close aboard. Gas
cline sprayed over the Ship but
prompt action prevented serious
fires. In late afternoon a wal
scored a hit, and resulting fires
put half of the ships main battery
out of action.
Damage control parties WORKED
feverishly to keep the ship afloa1
while its remaining guns stayed ir
action.

Postomce Department
Reorganization Sought

WASHINGTON, July IRE
organization of the Postoffice de-
partment, primarily with view
to further decentralization, was
recommended today in report by
former. Postmaster General Frank
C. Walker.
The report covered activities of
the department for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1914 Walker ex-
planned wartime activities delayed
it's issuance and thus allows him
to comment on developments Up
to June, this year. He left office
at. the end of that month.
Administration of the postal
service. is too highly centralized in
Washington and there is an alb
sence of that continuity of tenure
in office at top administrative
levels which is highly essential to
effective operations, Walker said.
Field supervisors could act more
speedily on relatively minor mat
tiers, Walker suggested, and top
officers thus could be relieved of
detail and given more time for
work on policy and general i'm
provement service.
He urged C., cation of the office
of director OF postal service, with
long tenure of office, to direct ad-
ministraton of the physical job,

ly of mountaineers, found Charles
Gilland, white, guilty of assault
and battery charges brought by
Mrs. Hazel Rice Albritton, prom
inent teacher here.
Judge George R. Shepherd, who
was presiding, Immediately SEN
fenced the youth to serve year in
the state penitentiary, although
defense counsel filed a motion for
a new trial.
The case attracted considerable
interest in this community, known
all over this section for its illicit
stills, because it marked the first
time a Negro lawyer had appeared
in the Cock county court.
Brought from Knoxville by the
woman's family to prosecute the
defendant was Webster L. Porter,
editor of the East Tennessee News
who pleaded with the jurors to not
consider this case from the angle
of a woman of the Negro racial
group having been attacked by a
white man, but criminally in
clined man who attacked a woman
of our community, and he should
be punished as the law prescribes. "
Testimony disclosed Mrs. AL
britton was enroute from the the
ater when Gilland, whom she did
not know, stepped from a dark al
ley, grabbed here by the arm, pull
ing her back into the alley. Her
screams attracted white residents
and the assailant fled.
The jury returned the guilty
verdict after a brief deliberation.
Immediately upon the return Of
the verdict, Atty. Porter went to

Workers Union which has STALL
ed General Motors production

initial recognition in the car in
dustry in a 44-day "sit-down"
strike against the same corpor-
alton in 1897.
The dispute centered largely
in the Fisher Body plants Of the
corporation at Flint, Mich. Riot
ing attending the strike resulted
in the concentration of $500
Michigan National Guardsmen in
the Flint area.
With more than 10000 Gen
eral Motors employees made idle,
il was the most far-reaching
work stoppage in the industry's
history until the current strike.
Recognition Of the union as
sole bargaining agent was the
principal issue; other union de-
mands left to negotiation in
cluded abolition Of piece work
systems of pay; 30-hour work
week: six-hour day and time and
