FOREIGN POLICY
STATEMENT FORMS
President Expected Ia
Clarity Issue AT Press
Conference Today

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1e.-PNA
specific Presidential statement on
foreign policy was reported under
consideration Thursday night in the
aftermath of a teletype exchange
between President Truman and
Secretary of State Byrnes in Paris
over the Wallace affair.
The President and his Secretary
of State communicated with each
other for 20 minutes. Afterward
word came from Paris indicating
that Byrnes' concern was not dimi-
nished by the Presidents action
in applying a temporary gag to
Secretary of Commerce Wallace,
embattled critic of present U. s.
foreign policy.
Byrnes and his aides were said
to feel that only a clear-cut pro-
nouncement from the President,
definitely supporting either Byrnes
or Wallace, could dispel existing
uncertainty and confusion.
Subsequently Undersecretary of
State William L. Clayton, Byrnes'
chief lieutenant here, hurried over
to the White House and conferred
for about an hour with Mr.. Tru-
man. The Presidents top public
relations advisor, Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross, also sat in.
No Settlement
Among diplomats here as we'll as
administration officials it was con-
sidered obvious that Wallace's
agreement to stop talking until the
end of the Paris Peace conference
did not settle anyhbasic issue
either as to future. cabinet rela-
lions between Wallace and Byrnes,
or as to the kind of foreign policy
which Mr.. Truman, who makes it,
actually favors.

The long-proposed project of cut

Myrtle Grove Sound about three
miles north Of Carolina Beach will
come up for a large public hearing
conducted on Monday, October z,

office of the U. S. Army Engineers
in the Federal courtroom of the
Customshouse, the engineers an
nounced yesterday.
The project was proposed more
than a year ago by fishing interests

1t was also argued that the in
let would provide both commercial
and sports fishermen a new and
easily accessible entrance into the
relatively isolated sound.

Congressman j. Bayard Clark,
of Fayetteville, the projects most
noted hacker, was instrumental in
getting the engineers study of the
project authorized by congress.

a canvass of local food stores re-
vealed that fish are disappearing
rapidly from the counters in the
wake Of vanishing meat and poul-
try.
The fish shortage is attributed
to the excessice railfall and high
winds which have joined forces in
keeping fishing boats from making
their usual contribution to the
dinner tables of the city.
Small fishing craft have been
unable to take to the sea on the
regular fishing schedule and in

EX-MARINE GETS
LEAVE PAY CHECK
W. ]. Sasser Receives
$110, Believed To Be
First Here

The old traditional First 10
Land" motto of the United States
Marines was proven again yester-
day when W. j. Sasser, Of Lake
Forest, an ex-Pfc in the Monte
zuma-to-Tripoli corps, landed his
terminal leave pay under the provi-
sions of the new congressional law.
According to all reports, former
Leatherneck Sasser is the first Will
mington World War II veteran to
cash in on the terminal leave bene-
fits. And cash in" is really the ap-
propriate term, because he got $110
from Marine pay-disbursing head
quarters in an immediately-cash-
able government check.
Sasser was paid off in cash be-
cause he was discharged from the
service before January /, 1913. All
service men and women discharg-
ed after that date will be paid off
largely in bonds with a small cash
supplement.
Sasser's " application for the
terminal leave pay was filled out
August 20 in the local service CEN
ter operated by the James A. Man.
ley post, Veterans of Foreign
Wars. He is a VIEW member.
Sasser was a Marine for two
years. He served his longest hitch
IL months--in Puerto Rico and
was discharged in 1912.
A 31-year-old native Of Colds
boro, Sasser moved to Wilmington
about three years ago. He has TAX

20 miles Southwest of Gander, the
airbase at which the Belgian trans

early Wednesday.
Meanwhile, airline officials said
a Navy doctor was being flown
to the scene and would be dropped
by parachute if necessary.
A transworld pilot, on a flight

So To Bed

Of all the remarks we heard
yesterday on the inordinate
amount of rain, one is destined
to become a classic.
A man and his wife were
standing in a doorway waiting
for the rain to stop.
They stood there a Iona
while, and it was obvious that
they were becoming impatient
to run to their car and get on
home.
Finally the man stuck his
hand out into the rain, turned
to his wife, and shouted:
Come on, Martha, let's rum
for It. It's Stacked off to a
downpour."

LETTERS FROM
OUR
DRAFT LABOR

The most vicious piece of legisla-
ton ever to pass the house of rep
resentatives is H.R. 657S. the bill to
draft labor. This bill was introduced
by the president and supported by
the representative from the Fist Dis
trict of Montana. The rules were sus-
pended and no debate was permitted.
The railroad strike had been settled
before the vote was taken and it could
not be said that it was to remedy a
national emergency.
Section VII of the bill reads:
The president. may. in his procla-
nation issued under Section 2 hereof
OF in a subsequent proclamation. pro.
vide that any person subject thereto
who has failed or refused without the
permission Of the president, to return
to work within "a hours after the
finally effective date of his proclama-
ton issued under Section ? hereof
shall be indicted into the army of
the United States at such time and in
such with or without) an
oath) and on such terms and condi-
tions as may be prescribed by the
president as being necessary, in his
judgment to provide for the emerg-
ency. The foregoing provision shall
apply to any person who was en-
ployed in the affected plants, mines
or facilities. at the date the United
States took possession thereof, includ-
ing officers and executives of the en-
ployer and shall further apply to the
officials Of labor organizations repre-
senting the employees.
The bill gives one man the power
OF life or death over the entire or
ganized labor movement in the United
States and if passed, in any form will
result in nothing short of revolution.
Even as passed by the house it will
create a precedent which will change
our form Of government to that of II
Of the totalitarian states.

Of government she will inform herself
IN this bill to be found in the Con
g%ressional Record Of Saturday. May

prefers any form of dictatorship, she
may get it by ignoring this bill and
