KAISER SAYS,
 YOU BET(HA' !, INVESTIGATE
West Coast Wartime Ship builder Willing for Probe
 Also of Steel Trust

OAKLAND, Aug. 7.-Henry J. Kaiser, west coast wartime ship builder, asserted today he was eag- CT to have his war record investi- gated, as suggested by New Hamp- shire's Senator Styles Bridges. In turn he called for an investigation of the steel industry's war record, and threw in Jesse Jones and his Reconstruction Finance Corp.
 Kaiser told newsmen his story of asserted hinderances in the devel- opment Of his Fontaaa, Calf, steel plant.
 Asked if he welcomed inyestiga- tion, he replied:
 T am eager for it. If there is a stronger word, use it.
 In short, Kaiser charged "scan- dalmongers' with trying to ''assas- sinate' his reputation and ruin the Fontana plant. An investiga- tion, he said, might bring out who the character assossins" were who were responsible for "a flood of ar ticles sent to the press" some of which he showed the reporters.
 Was this campaign evidence that somebody was out to kill your Fontana plant?" he was asked.
 There isn't any question" Kali ser replied. "The facts prove it."
 Kaiser, in a prepared statement, complimented the Merchant Mar inc and Fisheries Committee in- vestigation, headed by Rep. S. O. Bland, and said he would most willingly" appear before the Senate Mead Investigating Committee, and added:
 T hope Congress will then want another investigation, so that the people will know the facts about steel.
 l During the war, Kaiser Ship yards were short of steel. The great steel corporations failed to provide the necessary steel for ships. They had shipyards of their own. Kaiser must be stopped was the slogan.
 There exists sworn evidence that a representative of the defense plant corporation, under the con-

Demonstration of Long Range Guided Missiles
 With Atomic Warheads

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.-The historic flight of two unnamed B. IT drones from Hilo, Hawaii, to Muroc Air Base, Calif., today, was termed the forerunner of accurate long range guided missiles armed with atomic WarheadS.
 Brig. Gen. William L. Richardson chief of the Army Air Force Guid- ed Missiles Division, said the un- precedented radio-piloted flight proved the air force could have struck target at 2,500 or more miles range with any conventional Lomber-unmanned-and added:
 "The atom bomb to us is war head. We fully expect some day to have larged guided missiles with atomic warheads."
 Richardson did no elaborate. He timed western trip to be at Mu- roc Dry Lake for the drone landings yesterday. He flew on drone mother tcontroD ship for the aer- ial atomic bomb drop at Bikini on June 30.
 He did say, however, that the air force has just scratched the surface in guided missiles" and the Manhattan district hasn't told us yet what size atomic warhead would be practical for guide mis- siles."
 Eenroute from Muroc to Hamil- ton Field, where he confers today with Fourth Air Force officials on defenses against guided missiles Richardson said:
 Operation Remote (the drone mission) proved we have control equipment which will operate re- liably at least Is hours. sufficiently to take any conventional heavy bomber 2,50O or more miles. That aircraft could have been loaded with 5000 pounds of TINT or other explosive. It would not have been ItCtSSdl tO ny tiiC iAOciACi tP tN the target. The mother could have stood off 50 miles and directed the drone in and picked up the target
 We could have done it with B. 32s or B-35s or any other bomber and with the same control equip ment."
 The Hilo-Muroc flight of slight ly more than 2,500 miles was great Ter than the distance from Fair banks, Alaska, to Murmansk; from Honolulu to San Francisco; ol across the North or South Atlantic oceans.
 Using B-32 or similar bombers with a range of 10000 CT more miles, Richardson pointed out, tho United States could strike almost any point on earth with guided missiles.

RUSSIA IS
 LOSER IN
 ONE FIGHT
Yugoslav Proposal Adopt ed by Peace Conference
 Rules Committee

PARIS, Aug. '. - The peace con- ference Rules Committee resumed it's sessions today after coming out of a marathon wrangle over vot- ing procedure and voted unani- mously for a Yugoslav proposal to permit neighboring states of form CT Axis powers to present questions direct to the Foreign Ministers Council.
 The Committee had adjourned at 12:30 am. after 20 hours of de- bate in which it was finally de- cided over the embittered opposition of Soviet Russia and five other members of her bloc to adopt a British compromise on the voting machinery.
 The compromise proposal, adopt ed by a 15-6 vote after 20 hours of debate, would require a two-thirds majority for decisions of the 21- nation peace conference, but would permit measures adopted by a simple majority to go to the Big Four Foreign Ministers Council as recommendations" Nll decisions of the conference are subject to the approval of the Council.
 Soviets Lose
 Sofiet Russia had held out from the first for a two-thirds majority rule and strongly opposed the Bri- tish amendment permitting simple majority recommendations. The Netherlands and Australia spear headed the fight against the Rus sian position.
 The compromise on voting pro- cedure, as well as other rules ap- proved by the committee, must be ratified by the full conference in plenary session, but acceptance is assured since all q nations voted in the rules committee.
 The wind-up of the two day de- bate came after the tired, irritable delegates finally ran out of argu- ments and voted on series of four amendments and Sub-amendInents.
 The Committee earlier rejected II to a New Zealand amendment which would have established a simple majority as the form for all T
 Victory Over Russia
 The bitter debate not only was a setback for the small powers, which had fought stubbornly for a simple majority on all matters, but also was solid victory for the western powers over Soviet Russia and the eastern European nations.
 The early part of yesterdays ses- sion was featured by sharp ex- changes between U. s. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and So- viet Foreign Minister V. M Mol otov.
 At one point Byrnes asserted that Molotov was attempting to dictate to the peace conference. In reply, Molotov described Byrnes' remarks as violent and perhaps bellicose," denied the delegation and declared that his delegation alone was defending the recent decisions of the Big Four Foreign Ministers.

ACTIVE COMMITTEE
MAKESLAB0R POLL

One of the most active groups
in the new attempt to interest IN
dustrialists in Wilmington as a site
for nufacturing plants has been
the Economic Development COM
mittee.
The committee, formed with the
purpose of placing before indus
trialists the many advantages OF
the city as site, was appointed
by the City Planning board after
consultations with city officials.
In September, 1915, the following
men were appointed to the COM
mittee:
Warren W. Bell, president, Tide
Water Power company; J. Holmes
Davis, ST., chairman of the board,

ton, president, Wilmington Savings
and Trust company, and presi-
dent, Industrial Properties, Inc,
and E. L. White, president, White
Ice Cream and Milk company, and
chairman, Industrial commit
tee, Chamber of Commerce.
First action by the committee
was inauguration of a labor sur.
vey, results Of which have not been
announced. The survey, though
! still incomplete, Is expected to re-
veal the fact that great pool Of
skilled and unskilled labor - vital
items to industry - exists In Will
mington and environs.
Another fact held important by
the EDO members was that New
Hanover High school, after war
time experience, has 4 curricula
geared to produce other hundreds
of skilled craftsmen who could be
absorbed by incoming industry.

for a definite program to attract
new industries to this section to
take up the slack when war actlvl-

The booklet was given large circu-

various civic organizations to
formulate plans Of action.
Work Done In 1945
With the advent Of w Day, our
thoughts were again turned to
peace time progress. Fifty-one

rural area and close to existing
lines, but prior to the lifting OF

IS22 YEARS OLD

On February /, 1924, the Sutton

opened at 416 North Front street,

and today the owners say. We're
nroud that the same customers
who bought from us in 1924 are
also buying from us in 1896"
The owners, active in the store
since they founded it, attributed
their success to the fact that the
company has carried dependable
merchandise manufactured and ma
tionally advertised by the leading
manufacturers Of the nation. Too,
they say, their Service with a
smile" has contributed to that Sue
cess.
Sutton-Council Furniture COM
pany today is located at 80 North
Front street, to which place they
moved in December, 1927. At the
same time the company moved
into their modern building, the
owners added antique furniture
and home appliances to their regu-
lar stock.
In the appliance field, they carry
well-known lines. such as F'rigi'
daire electric refrigerators and
ranges, Bendix and Easy washers,
Perfection oil stoves and heaters,
Estate heatrolas and gas ranges,
Zenith and Bendix radios, as well
as other outstanding products.

Local Problems
While busy on these industrial
fronts, time was still found to
meet the pressing local problems.
One Of the most paramount was
the question Of returning employees
and the hiring of new men to fill
the jobs required by the process
