COUNTY FATHERS
REVERSE FINDING
Concessions A. Legion
Stadium Open To Users
On Percentage Basis

In a reversal of last weeks
decision to sell this summers con-
cession rights at Legion stadium
to the Carolina Concession COM
pany for $4,000, the New Hanover
County Board of Commissioners
yesterday voted to give all users
of the stadium concession rights,
on the condition that the county
receive 10 per cent Of gross, gate
receipts and 10 per cent OF net
concession profits.
It was pointed out that at the
commissioners meeting yester-
day that the '''1O per cent? deal
will yield the county at least $4,000,
and perhaps more, at the Whining
ton Pirates ball games at the
stadium this summer.
A contract between the Pirates
and the commissioners for use Of
the stadium will be drawn up
shortly by County Attorney Mars
den Bellamy and County Auditor
j. A. Orrell and submitted to the
board for approval.
In their meeting yesterday the
commissioners also agreed to find
a suitable place at Winter Park
for the disposal of trash and gar
bage, and voted to refer to the
State Highway commission, a re-
quest from Meares road residents
that the state consider paving that
thoroughfare.

tive of the Lake Forest Housing

Making his way to the heater,
King found T. w.. Hood slumped
on the floor before the tank. He re-
placed the pilot valve, cutting off
the gas, and turned his attention
to the stricken man.
flood had apparently been dead
for some time. When police arrived
and examined the body they found
that it was cold.
Raney Employe
A mechanic, employed by the
Raney Chevrolet company, HOOD
was apparently working on the
heater when smothered by the
escaping fumes. He had spread
wooden blanket on the cement floor

the Retail Grocers association s
proposal to close all grocery stores

MARITIME CRISIS WEARS

WASHINGTON, June II. -(PD- President Truman today reported that he was informed there is good prospect of settling the maritime labor crisis in time to prevent a shipping tie-up tonight as he gave reporters a news con- ference on capitol hill.
 Captain Granville Conway, War shipping chief said Bridges had agreed to accept the wage increase of P cents an hour for CIO long ShOremen, and told that the House subcommittee on Labor was in- veStigating the threatened strike and in view of this 'it seems reasonable to me that it will be settled" this afternoon.
 Bridges objection to the 22 cent figure has been one of the big geSt and perhaps the last stumb- ling blocks separating the unions and operators and the government agreement.
 Bridges gave ground bitterly with the threat of another mari time strike about three months from now. He hinted that he would take the p cents figure only until September thirtieth.
 A reporter asked the President flatly whether he believed there would be a walk-out and received no answer.
 Conway told the House Com mittee the only thing to be worked out was the agreement on retro active pay of West Coast seamen.

US. To Destroy Own Store Of
 Atomic Bombs

NEW YORK. June IA, -(P)- The United States history-making pronouncement which offered to destroy it's own store of atomic bombs and to stop manufacturing them if adequate control of atom ic energy is established under the proposed International authority. as simultaneously the U. s. made clear to the intently listening world, that there must be no veto power in any part of the frame work. It is proposing it for dew elopment of peaceful use of atomic energy.
 The statement was made by Bernard Baruch, the U. s. rep resentative to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission at it's first session, and gave to the world the American plan for harnessing for peaceful purposes, the giant force unleashed by science.
 Baruch was chosen temporary chairman and read before his ad- dress, the message from President Truman, wishing the Commission Godspeed.

 Have Open Feud In Court

WASHINGTON, June IA, -(P)- President Truman said Justice Jackson issued statement criti- cizing Justice Black despite the Presidents request prior to con- sultation.
 At the same news conference he declined to comment when asked if he thought both should resign flor the good of the coun- try and court" As the reporter phrased it he said there was no indications whether they are plan ming to do so.
 The President told the reporters Jackson wired him Sunday be- fore release of his statement in Nuremberg on Monday, and said he suggested to Jackson that he talk the matter over with him before acting. He did not do so and Jackson's statement was brought into open feud in court.
 Jackson told of his objections to Justice Blacks participation in the case in which Blacks former law pertner represented the Uni ted Mine Workers who won the Five to four decision.

Rampant Senate Clips Wings
 From OPA Bill

WASHINGTON, June IA, -(PD- A rampant Senate passed a bill cutting the OPA down to a shadow of it's wartime power, taking price ceilings off items such as meat, eggs, milk, butter, and chickens.
 The vote was 53 to ll.S
 The bill, which extends the life of the diminished price control for one year beyond June 30, amounts to a major defeat for the administration, now goes down to the House, which passed it's own price control bill, diff ferent in form but equally unac- ceptable to stabilization officials.
 The conference committee will probably get the job of reconcil- iation of the differences in the measures.
 Chester Bowles, Stabilization Chief, and Paul Porter, head of the OPA, say that they and their associates report they are ready to resign if they don't get what they consider a workable price control bill.

FLAG DAY

One hundred and sixty-nine years ago, on June IA, 1777, the Continental Congress, sitting in Philadelphia as the duly elected representatives of the United States then a Nation in name only formally adopted the Stars and Stripes as the national em- blem.
 Unfortunately there is no clear record as to when the new en- blem was first raised. One auth ority claims that the banner of thirteen stars and thirteen stripes was first unfurled at Bound Brook New Jersey. It seems fairly cer- tain, however, that on at least four important occasions during the year l777, the new flag was flown. First at the siege of Fort StanWix, New York, in August; second, at the Battle of Brandywine on Sep tember II; third, at Germantown on October 4; and at the surrender of the British under General Bur goyne on October IT.
 The Flag of the United States is not idly referred to as "Old Glory" Though it is the emblem of the youngest among the major nations, it is among the oldest flags in existence today. It is
