DECISION REVERSED
i'm DAMAGE CHARGE
State Supreme Court Re-
opens Suit Against
Diamond Company

The State Highway and Public
Works commission was given ano-
Their chance by the State Supreme
court in Raleigh yesterday to
collect from the Dimond Steam
ship Transportation corporation for
damage done to Cape Fear river
bridge by the S. S. Severance,
it was learned from an Associated
Press dispatch.
The ship rammed the bridge, and
the commission sued the company
FOR $3.50, alleging negligence.
Now Suited
When the case was tried IN
New Hanover county Superior
court last December, Judge Claw
son Williams non-suited the action.
The Commission then appealed tc
the Supreme court.
In reversing Judge Williams
ruling, Supreme court associate
Justice w. A Devin said: 1--WE
think there was competent evil
dence to support the plaintiff
allegations Of negligence on the
part of the defendant and that the
plaintiff was entitled to have its
case submitted to the jury under
appropriate Instructions"

such United States ships, such
stout-hearted men and such able
filters, the Japs never could have
licked our country.
Coming to Wilmington to be guest

dents which occurred during the
months he spent in the Pacific as

Along The Cape Fear

But that's what the story says.
The ice spread from shore to shore
and measured some two to three
inches thick. The Cape Fearlans,
unused to such c~ontraptions as ice
skates, bought them in great guam
titles and had a great time falling
all over one another on the hard
surface of the usually soft and ami
able Cape Fear.
WINTER FREAK - The fish
house owners took advantage Of
the Cape Fear winter freak. When
the ice finally broke up they gath
cred the drifting chunks and used
them to ice the fish they sent to
inland cities.
1t wasn't just the Cape Fear
which froze, however, AL the
ponds and lakes around Wilmington
solicited. And hundreds of birds
and waterfowl were laid out stiff
and cold as icicles.

Only Conditional Hop
That Complete Shutdown
May Be Averted

WASHINGTON, May % - R-
With the number of idle soft coal
miners growing rapidly despite
government seiezure of the pits,
Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug
could express Thursday night only
a conditional "hope" that a COM
plete shutdown next week would
be averted.
Striving for a bargain with John
L. Lewis to keep coal flowing,
Krug, the government mine boss,
said he still had no assurance
from the United Mine Workers
chieftain that a f~ull-scale work
stoppage would not occur.
Contract Difficult
TT is very possible" Krug told
a news conference, chat the
governments position on all the
principles Involved in a new con-
tract can be decided before Sat
urday night. The execution of a
contract within that time would be
very difficult.
II hope that if an accord on the
things that make a contract ap-
pear certain, the workers can be
kept on the job"
