$50 feet in September, 1s45. The
1908 flood was almost that bad at
Fayetteville.
However, Engineers said, a flood
before 1865 is reported to have
reached rs feet. On the basis of
available information, they believe,
the 1945 flood may be equalled or
exceeded once every IS years.
Heights Of the AS flood along the
deep river compared with previous
floods as follows: At County bridge,
three feet lower than 1910; at Ram
sell-, 4.6 fee: higher than 1901 and
1914; at Towards Mill, 81 feet
higher than 1908; at Carbonton, "a
feet highe. than 1908; or the Haw
river at Haw river, IT feet higher
than 1912; along the Cape Fear at
Buckhorn Hydro-Electric plant, AZ
fee. higher than 1908; at Fayette-
vile. g feel higher than 1908; 80
miles below Wilmington, S feet
higher than 1908; at Wilmington,
four feet higher than 1908; also at
Wilmington, 2 feet higher 1928.
Direct damage to industrial,
commercial and utility areas was
estimated al slightly more than
half a million dollars. Direct dam
age to railroads totalled about $l25,-
900, and to homes and other build
ings about $285, 900. Hardest hit
were Blader,, Cumberland, Har-
nett and Fender counties. Agricul-
ture damage was set at about $780,
900.
Thus, the Army Engineers esti-
mated total damage of the flood of
1945 at approximately 49, $50, 600.

CHINESE MAY GET SMALL WANSKipy
 FROM U. S. NAVY

WASHINGTON. March 12.-The House has passed and sent to the Senate a bill authorizing transfer cf 271 small ships to China. Approval was by a 313 to 32 roll call vote. The measure authorizes the President to sell, lease or give to China vessels the size of a des- troyer or smaller. They are in- tended to become the nucleus of a new Chinese navy.
 Earlier the House passed and sent to the Senate bill authorizing the navy to use approximately 100 war ships for the atomic. bomb tests in mid-Pacific this spring
 The legislation was approved by a 3l4 to 25 roll call despite objections of some members that it should be held up until permanent peace is assured
 The 100 vessels to ne used as guinea pigs" in the atomic bomb tests include four battleships Their total book value has been estimated at s400,000,o0o, but most of them now are clsseed as obsolete.

FOUND CHAINED BY NECK
 IN BURNED AUTO

BAKERSFIELD, Calf, March 12. -Sheriff's technical experts were examining today the remains of a fire -blackened skeleton found chain ed by it's neck to a burned automo- bile in attempts to decide whether they are dealing with grisly mur- der mystery or particularly bi- zarre suicide.
 The car was registered to Gerald D. Curtis, 34, Arcadia, Calif., ser vice station operator, who was re- ported by his wife as missing Jan. 8. But Sheriff John Loustalot said it had not been definitely deter mined that the skeleton was a mans.
 The skeleton was found by hunt CTS on little used road southwest of Mojave in a car whose interior had been blackened and melted by an intense fire. There was enough slack in the chain to have permit ted the victim to secure himself, said Deputy Coroner Hugh Gallon.

SECOND ATTACK ON CHURCHILL IS MADE
 BY SOVIET pRE55

LONDON, March 12.-The Rus sian press printed today it's second strong attack on Winston Churchnl in two days and at the same time commented on the "traditionaly friendly nature of Russian-Ameri- can relations
 The former British Prime Min ister's speech at Fulton, Mo. last week calling for a virtual British American military alliance was marked by an ardor which hither- to no one has achieved since the death of Dr. Goebbels,' asserted an article in IzveStia, the official or gan of the Soviet government.
 Tn the future struggle which Churchill tries to fan with all his strength, he clearly reserves first place for America and not for England,' said the article, quoted by Moscow radio.

WORLD BANK SETS SIX MONTHS LIMIT
 FOR NEW ENTREES

SAVANNAH March 12.-Russia and other Breton Woods sigma tories who have been dilatory about entering the world bank and fund may be granted only six months in which to join the global lending and currency stabilizing agencies.
 Secretary of the Treasury Fred M. Vinson, chairman of the boards of governors of the twin institu- tions, told reporter that the mem bership committee of the interna- tional monetary conference on Will mington Island near here probably would set such deadline.
 After that time, even countries which signed the 1914 agreements creating the S9,100,oO0 0,000 bank and s8,800,00o fund, would have to seek admission as new applicants.
 This would subject them to entry on terms and conditions imposed by the governing boards, in which the present Big Five"-the U. S., Britain, China, France and India dominate the voting. The late-com- CTS also would be subject to re-fix- ing of their quotas of gold and currency to be subscribed to the bank and fund.
 Russia sat among the eight on- locker nations, at separate table.

U. 5. Did Not Violate Any Agreement Regarding
 Bulgarian Issue

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The United States has flatly denied Russias charge that it violated an agreement in trying to broaden the Leftist regime in Bulgaria
 Replying personally to Russian note of last week, Secretary of State Bynes expressed surprise at the Russian objections.
 The dispute stems out of Big Three Foreign Ministers agreement at Moscow last December that the United States and Britain would recognize Bulgaria if the govern ment were broadened to include two members who would really repre- sent" the opposition.
 On Feb. 9 the United States fol- lowed up with a memo to Bulgaria attempting to clear up what it said appeared to be a misunderstanding in Sofia regarding the Moscow agreement. This country took the stand that the two opposition poli tical leaders to be added to the government of Premier Kimon Georgiev should be given real au- thority and not be ministers in name only.
 Russian Claims
 Last week, Russia objected that this note violated the Moscow agreement by suggesting that the Bulgarian government and opposi- tion find a mutually acceptable" basis for the oppositionists' entry into the government. The Moscow agreement, the Russians contended, said nothing about mutually accep- table" conditions; it merely said the oppositionists should be truly representative of the parties not in power and should be suitable" and work loyally with the govern ment"
 Byrnes took the position that mutual acceptibility of the, condi- tions of opposition participation was the very essence of the agree ment."
 More Assertions
 The Soviets also asserted that the American move was unilateral tta- ken without coordination with Rus sia and Britain and that Maynard Barnes, U s. representative in Bulgaria, was systematically incit- ing the Bulgarian oppositionists.
 Byrnes today declared that Rus sia and Britain had been consulted and that Barnes had merely been seeking to impress upon all parties the need for friendly spirit of cooperation

G0ERING AGAINST SLAUGHTERING OF INNOCENT, CLAIM

j NUREMBERG, March 12-Paul Koerner, intimate of Hermann Goering since 1926, told the Inter national Military Tribunal today the former Reichsmarshal inter vened against the Nazi party purge l2 years ago and that he created concentration camps only to re educate" enemies of the state.
 Koerner was Goerng's secretary for many years and once was sec retary of state for Prussia. He testi- fled that when the purge was car ried out in 1884 Goering went at once to the Fuehrer and told him innocent people were being killed and it must be stopped and it was"
 He said Goering founded the con- centration camps, but turned them over to Heinrich Himmler in 1884 on Hitler's orders, Goering also at- tempted to stop a Jewish pogrom in 1888, Koerner testified.
 The Tribunal granted defendant Franz von Papen the right to sub init to King Gustaf V of Sweden questions relative to the former Nazi diplomats claim that he re- peatedly sought the Monarchs in- tervention in the cause Of European peace.
 Although the Tribunal has no di- rect means to compel any person outside Germany to answer an in- terrogatory, belief was expressed here that King Gustaf would ac- cede

URGES BLUNT ACTION AGAINST RUSSIA
Closing of Gold Mines
 Failed 10 Accomplish Purpose; Report Made

WASHINGTON. March 12-Two former War Production Board off cials have agreed that wartime WIPE order closing the gold mines failed to accomplish it's full pur- pose of channeling miners into non-ferrous metal production.
 Frank H. Hayes, former official of the WIPE Coppef Division and now Director of Metals and Miner als Division of the Civilian Produc- tion Administration, told a House War Claims Subcommittee that the WIPE order of Oct. 8, 1942, was de- signed to free labor for the cop per. lead and zinc mines and to divert machinery to the strategic metal mines.
 He read 8 report of the War Manpower Commission showing that out of 2,167 miners displaced from the gold mines by Nov 20. 1942, only 445 had been placed in other mining operations.
 Asked by Rep Engle D-Calif) if he felt that the sacrifice" in- flicted upon the gold mining in- dustry was justified in view of the result, Hays replied T am afraid not"
 The Subcommittee, headed by Rep. Patterson (D-CalifD, is con- sidering legislation by Rep. EngIe to compensate gold mine operators for out-of- pocket expenses incurred for upkeep and rehabilitation of gold mines as a result of the clos ing order
 Samuel Lipkowitz, former official of the Labor Production Division of WIPE, said the order did not "by long margin accomplish its basic purpose of supplying need ed labor to the non-ferrous mines.
 He declared that more than 3,200 gold miners were displaced, and that while not as many as expected went to the copper mines, they went somewhere"
 Gold mine operators already have presented their case to the com mittee, asserting that many gold mines will never be able to reopen without government financial as- Sistance.

PLAIN TALK
 WITH SOVIET UNION URGED
Senator ConnaIIY Says Present Situation May
 Blaze Into Friction

WASHINGTON, March 12.--Sen- ator Connally CD-Texl called to- day for a new Big Three meeting to discuss in language clear and plain and if need be, blunt issues he said otherwise may blaze into world friction.
 The Chairman of the Senate For eign Relations Committee sounded an optimistic note on future rela- tions with Russia-provided they are based on such plain speaking
 But he told colleagues in pre- pared address that Russia must un- derstand that while she has the un- challenged right to maintain any form of government she wants, these rights do not extend beyond her boundaries"
 Connally called for maintenance by this country of "an adequate army, a superior navy and super lative air force"
 These, he said, would back up American determination not only to resist aggression by arms. but to oppose aggression by economic or political pressure or maneuver.'
 Pinning his hopes on the United Nations, the Texas Senator said that so long as Russia. Great Bri- tain and the United States remain loyal to the obligations of the char ter and adjust differences as they arise, there will be peace
 But, he added, those who want peace must not commit acts that tend to provoke war"
 Expressing the belief that the So- viet Union does not want war, Connally said he believes mutual understanding and cooperation with Russia "are not insuperable.' =
 Russia can have peace by sup porting and cooperating with the United Nations," he declared. Her responsibility is great because her power is great"
 Connally's speech. which he said he discussed briefly in advance with Secretary of State Byrnes, carried on the newly y-instituted policy of plain-speaking about Russo-Ameri- can relations to which Byrnes and Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich.) re- gently lent their voices.
