At Plymouth the 60-mile-an-
hour gale prevented a launch with
doctors aboard from bringing two
gravely injured seamen ashore

Christmas Decorations To
Continue Until January
Second

The city's Christmas lights were
dark last night, and City Manager
J. R. Benson said that they won't
go on again until Wednesday.
The Yuletide festoon, turned on
prematurely Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday in honor of visiting
Eastern North Carolina Shriners,
burned briefly Saturday in a minor
comedy of errors that saw some
administration confusion about
their schedule.
Benson, who gave the order turn
ing the lights on Saturday, said
last night they will stay dark un-
til Wednesday. After that, they
will remain lighted until Jan. 2
that is, if John Lewis and In
terror Secretary Krug are willing.
The lights had a trial run Wednes-
day, Thur sday and Friday at the
request of City Councilman James
E. L. Wade, who was also program
chairman for the Shrine ceremonial
here.

The Tide Water Power company
had received no Federal order to
curtail its power uses in face of
the nationwide coal strike late last
night, according to Albert E. Jones,
its vice president.
The Civilian Production Admin
istration's brown-out order, sched-
tiled to 60 into effect at o'clock
tonight, is not expected to reach
far south of the Maryland Vir-
ginia line for the next few days.
II don't think the southeast will
go into a brown out in the near
future. unless we ere asked to di-
vert power into the north," Jones
declared.
The lengthy siege war which
rthe United Mine Workers (AFL)
is reported ready to wage against
the soft coal operators can, how
ever, ultimately produce serious
consequences for this areas power
supply.
Contrary to general belief, Jones
pointed out last night, most of this

timately On steam. generation.

that he is ready to assist Tide

sures it may eventually take.

FRATERNAL ORDERS

recent fall ceremonial Of the
Mobiles of Sudan temple of the
Shrine brings to mind the fact that
Wilmington has long been famous
for its fraternal organizations in
addition to being one of the most
popular cities in the Old North
State as a convention site.
A quick survey of a 1889 issue
of The Star reveals that lodges
were numerous in the Port City
at that date. -
There were six masonic lodges,
four lodges Of the Knights OF
Fythia, and two lodges of the In.
dependent Order Odd Fellows.
Don't think for a moment that
that constituted all of the city S
fraterna1 organizations in the
1905.

NJ. BEvIN's CRITICS

What are we to make Of tne
fact that Mr.. Bevin's critics on

into trouble and that Mr.. Byrnes
has been criticizd by Mr.. Wallace
on the ground that British I'M
perialism is leading America into
trouble? The easy thing to do is
to pretend to be amused, pointing
out how neatly the charges cancel
each other out, and then to be
indignant and say that fellow
travellers are dividing Britain

the Soviet Union. But it will be
wiser to recognize that these in

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a
(UP) - Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes would not
oppose an investigation Of U.

many by the House or Senate
Foreign Affairs Committees,
but he is unalterably against
an inquiry by the Senate War
Investigating committee, it
was revealed Sunday night.

tee inquisition, which is being pro-

Europe to look into financing, troop

U. S. occupation of Germany and

Byrnes, who repeatedly gave his
views to the War Investigating
committee in secret session re-
Gently, is known to feel that a pub

policy would undermine American
prestige in Germany and boost the
stock Of the Russians.
Sources close to the secretary say
he is fully aware of the disciplinary
problems connected with the troops
in Germany. But they say he feels
that the blame must rest squarely
on Congress which rushed demobil-
