POSSE SEARCHING
BOG FOR NEGROES
z Veterans Implicated In
Ambush Shooting OF
A White Men
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

MAGEE, Miss, Aug. 10. Ill.,
Two Negro war veterans, whom
officers chiefly blame for the am
bush shooting of four white men,
we're surrounded in swampy Sui
livan's Hollow tonight by a posse
which took eight other prisoners
during the day.
Acting Governor Fielding Wright
visited the scene Of the manhunt
late today and then came to assure
himself on the safety of seven of
the captives who are in jail here.
He expressed satisfaction that there
was no danger Of violence to the
prisoners.
IT knew there was nothing wrong
down here but I got calls from the
north and came down to see for my.
SELF" the acting governor said.
He said the calls came from AS
sistant U. S. Attorney General
Lamar Caudle, in charge of the
Department of Justice Criminal
Division and from Walter White Of
New York, an official Of the Ma
tiona1 Association for the Advances
ment of Colored People.

Mrs. Quelch, the shawl was SNUG
gled by the blockade runners crew
through the tunnel which then
(and perhaps now ran underground
from the waterfront to the old
CORVALLIS house on Third and
Market streets.
It was given to Mrs. Quelch's
grandmother who in turn passed it
on to Mrs. Quelch's mother who in
turn gave it to Mrs. Quelch. She
says its present value hovers at
the several hundred dollar mark
despite all that handling.
LOVELY ITEM - We're telling
you all this not only because you
might be interested in knowing
about it but especially because
we're wondering if anybody else
along the Cape Fear owns any
thing like that wonderful shawl.
The intrepit blockade runners
must have spirited many a lovely
item past the Yankee blockaders'
noses maybe even, ironically
enough, Irish linen handerchiefs.
If so, we'd sure like to hear of it
for publication in this column.
What with Injuries as scarce as
they are now. we think everybody
would delight in hearing about the
marvellous menentoes of a similar
trying period some 30 years ago.

PARIS, Aug. 1s.-P-The first

Discussion of actual treaty terms
was halted when Greek delegate
M. P. Pipinopolis told the political
and territorial commission on the
treaty that Greece OBJ
jected to the preamble's declara-
ton that Bulgaria took an active
part in the war against Germany"
May Be Issue
The debate indicated that the eX-
tent of Bulgaria's aid to the allies
become a major conference
issue, since that Soviet-conquered
nation has sought consideration as
a co-belligerent.
In the background was the dis
pute over Greek claims to Bulgar-
ian territory and B%ulgaria's de-
supported by the Slavic stat
es, for the return of western Thrace
coded to Greece after World War
I. The conflicting claims had been
referred to the peace conference
by the Council of Foreign Min
listers, without comment, to be set
tied after both sides yer heard.
"The remarks contained in this
preamble" the Greek delegate pro-
tested, "can have a decisive in
fluence in deciding the whole of the
treaty. I have in mind particularly
paragraph 3, which said Bulgaria
took an active part in the wal

we're active only when they

Pipinopolis said Bulgaria's part

"blessing' to efforts Of political
minded CTS to rally their forces
in a campaign for clean elections.
Brig. Gen. Evans F. Carlson,
leader of the Marines famed
"Carlson's Raiders" was a sur
prise visitor as veterans from
many sections gathered in this
little Crockett county town of 1900
persons to plan a fight against
political machine rule"
The %50-year-old former Marine
leader said he was on his way from
California to the East when he
read about tonight's rally and de-
cided to drop in.
II had been hoping for some
such development" Carlson said

and feel that such an organization
with integrity and good government
as a goal will be Of great value
to our country"

will take strong men to carry out
the proposed program without
wavering from their aims"

eral, his right arm still lame from
a bullet wound received on Saipaa,
was added to the list of speakers
shortly after his arrival.

scars of battle, were greeted in
dividually in a little store off
Alamo's square by Butler.
A delegation of veterans from
Nashville arrived early in the aft
ernoon and began mingling with

came interested in politics when
their leader, Butler, lost a state

gin.

TO MEET EMERGENCY
Seek To Make Airport
Charleston Alternate

If the request is granted. the
airport authority will ask Colonial
to put Wilmington on the Caribbean
route between Washington and
Charleston and to apply to the gov
eminent for the local airport's es-
tablishment as an official alternate
overseas hopping-off point, Perry
and Hicks said. This would mean
that Wilmington would be used as
a part of entry in bad weather
emergencies which might occur at
Charleston, they explained.
Colonials application for the
Caribbean route is slated to come
before the Civil Aeronautics board
in Washington for final decision
some time this fall.
