Questions and Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN

WESTINGHOUSE is appeal
ing to veterans to aid in curbing
the black market on used cars.
According to OPA officials, I'M
scrupulous dealers in used cars top
the list of persons trying to exploit
veterans. They say the situation
is getting worse. AS strikes de-
lay the production of new automo-
biles, more and more veterans r
deciding to buy used ars
The following precautions r
urged for veterans buying an auto
mobile, whether cash, tradein, or
time payment is involved:
1. Buy only from a reputable
automobile dealer.
2. Always get some evidence of
the transaction. Pay by check.
Get a receipt. Have a witness.
3. Check the price with OPA. If
there has been an o%vercharge Of
any kind, report 1t to the nearest
price control board or district OPA
office.
4. Never sign blank papers. See
that all papers connected with the
transaction are correctly filled out,
with prices included, and get a
duplicate of each paper.
s.. Inspect the car carefully be-
fore you buy it, and, if possible,
have a reliable mechanic look it
over first.
One of the favorite new tricks
of INSCRIPTIONS dealers is to insist
on financing a car. In this way
the actual sale price will be made
the legal ceiling, but the financing
charges will be exorbitant, with the
veteran the goat.
Another trick is the repair bill
racket. A car is in fine condition,
and looks it. The price is quoted
as the legal ceiling. However, the
dealer explains, it just came from
the shop with an unpaid repair
bill of S125. 1t is explained that
this charge is considerably below
that the veteran would have had to

ELIZABETHTOWN, June Is.
Bladen county tobacco farmers
have started curing their 1916
crop of the golden weed at the
earliest date in the memory of
old-time farmers. Exceedingly
dry and hot weather is said to
be the reason the weed was
ready for curing this early.
County Agent R. B. Harper said
the county's crop would be the
finest this year of any in the
belt, adding that Granville
Wilt, which appeared in the
county for the first time this
year, would not harm the crop.

Pennsylvania Judge
Urged for High Court
To End Party Dilemma
BY the Assoeioted Press

Several influential Pennsylvania
Democrats said today an effort is
under way to have Judge Herbert F.
Goodrich of Philadelphia appointed
to the Supreme Court and to name
as his successor, on the Third Circuit
Court bench, James P. McGranery,
assistant to the Attorney General.
This, they said, would solve an
embarrassing situation" that arose
because both Mr.. McGranery, former
House member from Pennsylvania,
and Harry E Kalodner, District
Court judge Of Philadelphia, were
sponsored by high Democrats for
the Circuit Court appointment.
A vacancy existed more than
year, but President Truman yester-
day nominated Judge Kalodner for
the Circuit Court judgeship. He also
proposed Representative Murphy,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, for the
Middle District Court of Pennsyl-
vania, where another vacancy exists.
Pennsylvania Democratic leaders
said today the Kalodner appoint
ment was first recommended to the
Pennsylvania Democratic high COM
mand before Mr.. McGranery was
interested in the job. Judge Kalod-
ner got their Endorsement.
With President Roosevelt's death
and the resignation from the Justice
Department of Attorney General
Biddle, however, Mr.. McGranery,
the informants say, decided he
wanted to 60 back home to the Cir
cult Court. President Truman, with
whom Mr.. McGranery had become
friendly while Mr.. Truman was
head Of the Senate War Investigate
ing Committee, repeatedly sympa-
thized with Mr.. McGranery's desire
and was willing to appoint him.
The States two Democratic Sen
ators, Guffey and Myers, cited the
pledge they had already made to
Judge Kalodner.
Yesterday the Philadelphia Rec.
ord carried a report that Judge
Goodrich was being considered for
the Supreme Court. If he were to
be appointed Mr.. McGranery could
succeed him in the Circuit Court.
The old Kalodner- -McGranery con-
test could be resolved in favor Of
both and there would be no loss
Of prestige to the latter, according
to State insiders.
But it's too pat" one of them
commented. Il don't think it could

ators Ball, Republican, of Mime

spoke out against any headlong ac-
ton resulting from tempers made
short by the strike. The three in
dicated they doubted whether leg
islative rush job" would do much
good in the present emergency.
The debate was touched OF when
Senator Lucas, Democrat, Of Illi-
nois declared that in IL years in
Congress he had never received SO
many protests against anything as
the coal strike. He predicted chaos
disorders, riots" unless it ended.
In an ensuing general debate:
l. Senator Knowland, Republican
Of California served notice he would
have to lay aside the British loan
and take up labor disputes legisla-
ton If the coal strike continued
another 48 hours. Senator Fergu-
son, Republican. of Michigan backed
his stand.

Oregon asserted that President Tru-
man had failed to use the prestige
of his office to try to get these
parties together about the confer
ence table in voluntary arbitration. ~
4. Senator Brewster, Republican,
of Maine protested that there was
"a strange fog" that seemed to cover
what was going on between the
union and the mine operators. "
After their five or six weeks of talks,
he declared, "the country is entitled
to know the precise issues"
Meanwhile, Representative Bailey,
Democrat, of West Virginia was tell
ing House Judiciary Subcommit-
tee that a proposal to ban royalty
production payments to unions is a
"crackpot panacea."
He referred to a measure by Rep
Iresentative Robertson, Democrat, of
Virginia, on which the subcommit-
tee is conducting hearings. The bill
would outlaw special production
payments such as those which soft
coal operators say the UNIV is de-
manding to finance a health and
welfare fund.
