Asks For Loan

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 -U.H-
Gen. Mark w. Clark, American
commander in Austria, proposed
today that the United States grant
a multi-million dollar loan to
Austria to save that country from
Russian domination.
In an extraordinarily blunt
speech before the overseas press
club, Clark rebuked the Russians
sharply for their failure to cooper
ate with the other Allied powers in
Austria, and he recommended
that the United States maintain
a firm attitude toward the So
viets everywhere.
He asserted that the Soviets
have ':hogged" Austria's food and
oil supplies at the expense of the
Austrian people and of the other
occupying powers and are Selling
American-owned properties
which they list as German as.

MOREHEAD CITY, Sept. 49,
R-A narrowing story Of AZ hours

Hatteras was told here today by IL
survivors of the 7,417-ton Nor
wegian tanker MART II.
The MART II broke in two at
12:40 p. m. (EST) Friday during a
heavy storm. On her bridge with
his wife was Capt. Left Williamson,
and both of them apparently went
down with the ship.
One crewman, Erther Eriksen
said that the ship broke in two so
suddenly that the bridge was
awash almost instantly, and that
only members of the crew who
were fore and aft had a chance for
survival.
The 10 survivors were picked up
bv the Norwegian tanker Pan
Amoco. They were transferred to
a coast guard boat near Cape
Lookout, N. c., this afternoon and
brought into Morehead City.
Including the Captains wife, 81
persons were aboard the stricken

Case Hearing
BY FRANK VAN DER LINDEN
Wilmington Morning Star
Washington Bureau =

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. - Will
mington will present a strong de-
mand for direct, one carrier air
service to the Caribbean when the
Civil Aeronautics board hears re-
arguments in the Latin American
case Tuesday for the second and
probably last day.
Lieut.. Col. H. E.. Boyd, traffic
manager of the Wilmington Port
Traffic association, will speak ten
minutes. He is accompanied here
by r. B. Page, Star-News publish
er.
Mayor Herbert Baxter, of Char
.lotte, the first spokesman for any
intervening city to be heard in the
re-argument urged extension of
Eastern Airlines which would give
Charlotte direct connections to the
Caribbean and the Canal Zone.
He said Charlotte is Bottled up
both westward and southwark. OPP
posing the Eastern proposal, Will
mington seeks direct routes which
would touch Eastern Carolina
points. Colonial Airlines would
serve Wilmington, New Bern, Eliza
beth City, N. c., and Georgetown,
Myrtle Beach, and Charleston, S.
c., with Charleston as a major
base and Bluethenthal field, Will
mington, as an alternate.
Referring to the boards original
decision in favor of Brainiff Air
ways from Houston, Texas, to Bal
boa, Canal Zone, via Havana, May
or Baxter declared that rs per cent
of the nations population is located
east of the Mississippi, and 46
per cent of the manufactured prod
ucts, by value, are made in the
eastern and south eastern states.
He asked: why did you give con-
sideration to cities west of the
Mississippi with much less popula-
and far less value in manufactured
goods? I think that is discrimina-
tion." e+

DR.. Elliot May Issue Pre-
liminary Report On
Winter Park Today

Two Health department repre-
sentatives yesterday began an in
vestigation into sewerage condi-
tons at Winter Park with a view
to determining whether septic tank
overflows there justify department
action.
In announcing the probes be-
ginning, DR.. A. H. Elliot, county
health officer, said that a pre-
liminary report could be expected
today. DR.. Elliot will himself do a
direct inspection of any dange-
areas his investigators uncover be-
fore announcing a course of action,
he declared.
F. P. Blanchard and Porter Wag-
staff, of the departments santa
ton staff, toured the area yester-
day.
In the meanwhile, County At
torney Marsden Bellamy, in an
opinion that he qualified as inform
al, said yesterday that, should the
Department. investigators discover
a health menace in Winter Park,
it would be the apparent duty of
property owners there to take steps
to "abate the nuisance"
Earlier Ruling
Bellamy had earlier ruled that
county officials have no legal re
sponsibility to drain inundated
areas beyond the assignment OF
prisoners serving 60 days or less
in its Jail.
The county attorney gave a direct
mo- to County commissioner Har-
ry R. GARDENERS question as to
whether the county board had any
legal right to levy taxes to drain
a specific area at yesterdays meet
ing of the commissioners.
In the meanwhile, with both coun-
ty Board Chairman Addison
Hewlett and District Highway En-
gineer T. T. Belts slated to be
present, Winter Park is slated fo~

trove~sy in the Winter Park school

County, Airport
Group Plan

The Wilmington-New Hanover
Airport authority is planning an
extensive improvement program
for Bluethenthal airport which cost
about $50, 900 provided that the
funds can be raised, it was disclos-
ed yesterday.
In preparation now, the plans
will probably be put into final
or semi-final form at an authority
meeting this week, after which the
authority will petition the city coun-
Gil and the New Hanover county
board of commissioners for at
least part of the money, it was said.
The improvement program is ur-
gent since the eleven million dollar
airport is ION the VERGE of be-
coming a main line terminal" for
at least three major Atlantic Coast
routes, the authority said. These
are as follows:
o. National Airlines, which al
ready has two flights daily stopping
at the airport between New York
and Miami, win increase the load
to six flights daily as soon as the
WIFI very high frequency radio
range, now under construction
about five miles north of the field,
is completed within the next few
weeks.
ca The Caribbean-Latin Ameri-
can air route case, now being heard
before the Civil Aeronautics board
in Washington, is almost certain
to result in a CAB decision, ex-
pected this year, which will put
Wilmington on the route. Whining
ton may also be declared an alter
nate port of entry for the overseas
hop when it is established.
90 The Southeastern States case,
already past the hearing stage and
slated for a decision by the CAB
this year, is also almost certain to
place the Port City on the main line
connecting it with many major and
minor cities in North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, and Ohio.
A total of Is daily flights in and
out Of B!uethenthal airport is ex-
to come from these factors
alone-six from National Airlines,
SIX from the Southeastern States
case winner, and four from the
Caribbean case victor.
In addition to these regular
flights, the authority anticipates an
