Glib Tongued Salesman
Fleeces Thousands In
Two Carolinas

RALEIGH, July 24-Up-A glib
tongued, 32-year-old mail order
salesman, W. T. Wingate. of Kings
tree, S. c., was being held Wednes-
day on a charge of fleeing hun
dreds of North Carolinians out of
thousands of dollars" on phoney
orders for clothing.
Director Walter F. Anderson, of
the State Bureau of Investigation,
said that Wingate Vas picked up
Tuesday by Sheriff S. T. Latta, Jr.,
of Orange county and is being held
in the Hillsboro. N. c., Jail. An
derson said Wingate had admitted
writing ''hundreds'' of fake orders
for shirts, pants, coveralls and
caps On non-existent companies.
Began Last November
The racket, which was worked
widespread throughout North and
South Carolina, began, Anderson
said, last November. A half dozen
order books, which were found on
Wingate, showed that he had is
sued phoney orders in dozens of
cities and collected his fee of Is
per cent deposit.
Wingate, described as a smooth
talker, about 80, weighing about
145 and having dark hair and ruddy
complexion, was arrested by Sheriff

FREEZES
PAYR0LLS' TAX
Deductions In Employees
Pay To Remain AT One
Per Cent

WASHINGTON, July 2.-P-
The house voted Wednesday to
freeze" the Social Security Old
Age Insurance tax at n percent
on employees pay and employers
payrolls, preventing an automatic
rise to 2.5 percent against each on
January 1.
The measure, which now goes
to the senate, makes broad revis-
ions in the Social Security Act, in
Guiding special benefits for veter-
ans. The house decision was taken
on a voice vote in which no mays
were heard.
Gags Amendments
Amid cries of gag" the house
by a 1853 to 80 ballot prohibited
any amendments to the bill, thus
defeating a drive by a group of
Southern members, led by Repre-
sentative Gore D.-Tenn.), to in
crease in poorer states the federal
payments to needy aged, blind and
dependent children.
The same ban on amendments
also blocked any attempt to tack
the Townsend Old Age Pension
plan to the bill

SENATE RETURNS
BILL TO TRUMAN
President Expected To Sign
New OPA Measure
Immediately

WASHINGTON, July 24-WH-
The Senate approved legislation
reviving OPA Wednesday night and
put it directly up to President Tru-
man to decide whether this nation
again shall operate under price
controls.
P%aralleling the affirmative action
of the House on Tuesday, the
senate debated the battered OPA
bill at length, passed it and sent
it o to the White House.
There, a few hours earlier. Presi-
dent Truman had met with his top
economic advisers. The meeting
was unannounced, but presumably
it was called to examine the ma
tional economy in the light Of the
action Mr.. Truman will take on the
OPA bill.
Approval Expected
The President is expected to ap-
prove the measure Thursday on
an lit is this or nothing basis"
for Congress has served notice
that it has neither the time nor
inclination to take up a third
price control bill before it finally
adiourns sine die late next week.
The President vetoed Congress-
first effort. and this is the second
try for legislation the White House
will accept.
The new measure would return
ceilings TO most items which were
de-controlled automatically when
OPA passed out of existence on
June 30 but would set-up a three
man de-control board with au-
thority to lift ceilings whenever
it determined the time was ripe.
All indications were that the
President will approve the new
bill, and that before the week
end the down-but-not-out OPA bill
will be functioning again.
Three-Man Board
The favorable signs included a
statement by White House spokes-
man that the President would act
promptly by sending either a mes
sage or a memorandum to Con-
gress. Senate Democratic Leader
Alben W. Barley of Kentucky
also may have tipped the Presi-
hand when he said during
debate that the President had as
sured him he would appoint the
three-man decontrol board in time
for Congress to act on the nomina-
tons before adjournment.
The President also signed the
third deficiency appropriations oil.

We say "the Wilmington that is

Notice, for example, that ornate
