here. These pipes. the oil man said,
would constitute a menace in them
selves.
60 The entire project would cost
close to a million dollars, he esti-
mated, because of the complexitv
of the pipe system. and a new cen
trail terminal would need to be set
up across the river at considerable
operating expense either to the city
the companies involved.
Too Swampy
90 Eagle Island, the suggested
site for the cross-river terminal, is
too swampy for such use. It might
be necessary to set up tanks across
the Brunswick river, nearly two
from Wilmington.
a. The single conduit which
carry the pipe lines under the river
would be a constant fire hazard
because of leaking oil rising to
the surface. Ship anchors weighing
to 80 tons, could crack the sur
face Of the conduit and set up leaks
at any time, he pointed out.

A leaking valve that filled the
interior of the Tasty Bakery with

blamed yesterday for the So, 900 ex-
plosion that wrecked the bake-y's
interior by Fire Chief Luddie

Croom's report, compiled by a

origin in one of the bakery's cabi-
nets had ignited the free gas to
produce the explosion.
The report was filed with City
Building Inspector Gilbert F. Nor
ton yesterday.
The blast-producing fire, the in
vestigstors asserted, might have
been produced by spontaneous
ignition Or by sparks of a cigarette.
There was nc electric wiring in the
vicinity of the cabinet in which
it conferred.

this kind to happen, though it is

OPA has planned to put new
livestock ceilings into operation
Thursday, with retail ceilings going
into effect Sept. 9, leaving an IN
term period for wholesalers and
distributors to dispose of high-pric-
ed stocks bought while controls
were off.
If the same procedure is follow
ed. the e ceilings imposed by
Anderson would not affect retail
outlets for about three weeks. And
OPA officials limited they might
seek a legal ruling on the secre-
tary's move, which might cause
further delay.
Anderson ordered top ceiling
prices at Chicago of $16.25 per 100
pounds for choice hogs; $20.25 per
100 pounds for choice cattle and
SIG per 100 pounds for lambs, all
live weight.
The hog ceilings were $1.40 per
hundredweight higher than those
maintained on June 80, and the
cattle top was 1925 higher. There
were no lamb ceilings on June 80.
The new Anderson order came
as a surprise to OPA officials who
admitted they had no advance
word of the secretary's impending
action.
Porter had insisted that meat
prices should be rolled back to, or
very close to, June 80 figures, and
his agency subordinates had said
publicity that beef ceilings would
be fixed within one to two cents
per pound of the old levels.
Agriculture department sources
said the average retail price of
beef at New York city was Sc cents
a pound on July 81, compared with
ST. cents under the old OPA cell
lngs. The average price of pork
and lard on July 81 was 46 cents,
compared with former OPA top
of 30.2 cents.
Anderson contended that his new
ceilings represented a substantial
roil-back from the current uncon-
troiied price levels, even though
they did not meet OPA approval.

YARD FOR REPAIR
Coast Guard Cutter Expect
ed To Reach Local
Port Monday

The Modoc, the U. s. Coast
Guard cutter slated to return to
wilmington after doing war duty
since 1911, is now docked at the
Portsmouth Naval Base, Norfolk,
Va, undergoing minor repairs, a.
spokesman for the Coast Guard in
Washington said yesterday.
The repairs should take about
three days, the spokesman con-
tinued, after which the vessel will
Journey to Wilmington with arrival
tentatively scheduled for Monday
or Tuesday of next week.
Commander G. W. Playdon is in
charge of the vessel, the spokes-
man said.
At New Orleans
The Modoc recently completed
an assignment Oh the international
ice patrol in the North Atlantic.
During recent months she has
been on duty at New Orleans
where she has been towing fri
gates for decommissioning.
1t is presumed she will return
to her former berth at the custom
house wharf on arrival.
The last visit of the Modoc to
Wilmington was in the spring OF
194l, when she locked here aft
er a tour of duty at New Orleans.
Before being assigned to war
time duty the Modoc was fitted
with new armament to give her
fire-poWer superior to that OF
modern destroyer.
Bow Cannon
She was fitted with a five-inch
bow cannon and an identical piece
on the stern. She was also fitted
with a three-inch rapid-fire aft
gun, a "Y" depth-bomb gun and
reinforced mounts for several So
caliber anti = anticraft machine
guns.
The craft entered the news col
umns periodically during the wal
years when she was assigned to
combat duty. Since the entrance
of the United States into World
War II the craft has seen duty
throughout the world.
Admiral Joseph F. Farley. COM
mandment of the Coast Guard, in
Washington, served as commander
of the Modoc during one of the
periods she was stationed here.
