This called for a reduction from

Rivers, Harbors
In addition to the 500, 600, 900
originally allotted last August for
flood control, there was 500, 600, 900
for rivers and harbors. Webb did
not mention. any. prospective in
crease in the rivers and harbors
item.
The proposed cutbacks in public
works aroused protests from Con-
gressmen and others interested in
the projects and resulted in sever
al protest meetings. Among the
most outspoken e the water
way advocates who held a protest
meeting at New Orleans and vot-
ed to ask the next Congress to
%overrule the Presidents order.
Several Congressman at this meet
ing subsequently took their protest
to Mr.. Truman personally. They
reported afterwards that the Presi-
dent promised to order a review.
Mr.. Truman, telling a news con
ference later of his expectations
for a balanced budget, said the
prospective revision of the public
works ceilings would be only I'M
important changes to correct con
tract inequities.

The $35, 900, 900 increase granted
on flood control was not tagged
for specific projects. The Army
engineers will have the say as to
where and how the money is used.

DOCTORS ADVANCE
H0USE-CALL FEES
First Increase In Thirty
Years Approved By
Medical Group

Wilmington's doctors today are
charging new rates for house calls
So during the day and s.
at night. The old rates were So and
S. respectively.
The new fees cover the entire
city and extend into Winter Park
and Maffitt Village.
Decision to arise the rates
was reached at a Wednesday
night meeting OF the New Hanover
County Medical Society, of which
every white doctor in the city is
a member.
Although some opposition was
voiced by members at the meeting,
the majority agreed that the rates
had to be raised to meet the
doctors heavily increased over
head. 1t was pointed out that the
local house-call rates, in effect for
the past 80 years, were far be-
low those in other cities Of Will
mington's size.
The new rates are for house
calls only. No increases have been
made in otfice-calls, operations,
OF any other medical services pro
vided by the city's doctors.

unreasonable and unsound to re-

1.-The fire alarm industry he
declared, lis now, and has for
several weeks been, under investf
CATION in Boston by a federal
Grand Jury.
1.-THE department of justice has
been on constant touch with the
situation here through its represn-
tatives in regard to the purchase
Of fire alarm boxes, since Septem-
Der, 1945, when the original speci-
fications were advertised, and the
information gathered here is a
part Of the governments case
being presented in Boston.
THE report we made to the City
Council consisted of considerable
confidential information which
could not be disclosed to a public
meeting.
Benson's carefully-worded reve-
lation of the FBI's interest in the
Wilmington alarm-box situation
was made, he said, with the De
partment Of Justice permission.
He avoided any reference either tc
the Horni company, which won the
contract through Wilmington Elec-
trict Supply, or Gamewell, the I'M
successful bidder.
It can be stated as a fact that
the Department Of Justice, whose
agents paid several visits to the
city at the height Of the pre-award
controversy, is still eying Whining
ton for any futher developments
Of material importance to its fire
box case.
Benson, then city clerk, discuss
ed the Gamewell-Horni dispute
with FBI agents frequently during
the weeks preceding the contract
award, a fact which he kept secret
at the Justice Departments re-
quest. This local inve stigation, II
is understood, was undertaken at
the departments own initiative.
Both Campbell and Benson ap-
pareAtly believe that the Whining
ton fire alarm story is drawing to
its end and that the boxes will
soon be on their way here.
The Horni company is known ia
have the boxes in a s5 per cent
complete stage.
The Wilmington Electric Supply
company, the city's contractor,
will provide a performance bond
when the boxes are delivered,
Campbell said yesterday.
