 Postpone Court Action
 At the request of the 25-year-old suspects father, Clarence Goodale, Onset restaurateur, Dewing post poned today's scheduled court action for 24 hours. This was done to allow time for Attorney King to study the mass of circumstantial evidence. Many details of the suspects So- called alibi have fallen apart" Dewing said. We went into the mat ter quite thoroughly when we first heard it several days ago and we made sure to check every phase carefully"
 A published report limiting that Goodale might be released from cus- tody prior to the scheduled court action was denied by Dewing. The baby-faced suspect, a talented nu- Sician and former art student, re- mained in the town lock-up, where he is held incommunicado.
 Investigators quoted Goodale as saying he does not know the name of the dark-haired girl with whom he claims to have been in Buzzard' s Bay when red haired Miss McGurk was slain. He said he hoped she would read of his plight in the news papers and come forward to iden- tify herself and substantiate his ali-- by.
 The alibi was provided by Miss Emily Gallivotti, 24-year-old Ware ham stenographer, and was support- ed by her escort of the evening, James Jacobson, 2, of Wareharn. Both are close friends of the sus- pect.
 In their protestations Of their sons innocence, MT. and Mrs Good ale were joined by scores of other year-round residents of this Summer colony who remember the suspect as a model boy"

Aid Starts
 To islanders AtMotonzos

Ciudad Trujillo, Dominican Re- public, Aug. 7-tUPt-American re- lief shipments were scheduled to leave Puerto Rico today by plane and boat for Matanzas, the Domini- can Republic town flooded by a tidal wave after Sundays Carib- bean earthquake
 Twenty-three persons died as a result of the quake and resulting tidal wave, according to latest re- ports. Twenty were found dead in Bajio Cabrera, a settlement on the north coast; two were killed in Puerto Plata. and one in Moca.
 The Dominican government asked 10th U S Naval District Headquar- ters in San Juan to send doctors, nurses, medicine, food for children and equipment for water purifica- ton. Some 1000 persons were re- ported homeless as a result of the flood.
 Matanzas Heavily Hit
 Marine Col. L. H. Delano, who flew over the area, said it appeared that three fourths of Matanzas had been wiped out and that the town was isolated from the remainder Of the country by the flood waters.
 Delano said that damage from the tidal wave was confined to the Scotch Bay area and seemed to have centered in Matanzas after sweeping inland several hundred yards from the coast
 Two Navy transport planes, one tender and one army vessel were loaded with relief materials and prepared to leave immediately for Matanzas. A group of Army and Navy officers and Red Cross offic- 1als flew to Puerto Rico from Ciudad Trujillo to complete arrangements.
 Some medicine and other equip ment already has been dropped in the area by Army and Navy planes. Matanzas is isolated by land, but can be reached by landing craft and other small boats.
 First Story Told
 An eyewitness account of the destruetion of Matanzas was given to tIle newspaper La NaClON Dy Julio Castillo, who arrived in Ciu- dad Trujillo yesterday.
 He said violent earthquake struck early Sunday afternoon and was followed within five minutes by the tidal wave. Castillo said the people of Matanzas rushed into churches to pray while the earth trembled. Others, he said, grabbed their children and headed for high CT ground as the waves crashed down on the village.
 Castillo said the water reached inland about mile and covered the entire area for approximately 45 minutes. After it receded, he said, the residents of Matanzas could see only pile of ruins. Only eight of the villages 300 houses were left standing Subsequent tre- mors seemed to continue inter- minably," he said, but they were not like the first"

ConnoIiy Gives Pat
 To Byrnes

Washington. Aug. - CUP) - Charges by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes that Russia was attempt ing to dictate peace terms drew strong backing today from Chair man Tom Connally. (D.-Tex), of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee.
 Connaly defended Byrnes' heated renunciation of Soviet Delegate " M. MolotoV and predicted that the Secretarys stand against big power dictatorship would receive stout Congressional support.
 Byrnes yesterday denounced Molo- toy, charging him with attempts to force Big Four dictation of peace terms and with misrepresenting the American attitude.
 Molotov Wrong
 Connally. whose committee event. ually must pass on the peace set- dement's and who soon will join Byrnes in Paris, bluntly termed Molotov as wrong"
 He urged that the big powers fully safeguard the rights of smaller nations and give full heed to their recommendations on peace terms to be drafted for former Axis Satel- lite nations.
 In addition, Connally expressed in an interview hope that the Paris meeting soon will end it's "sparring matches" on procedural matters and begin work on the serious busi- ness" of writing the treaties
 As a step in that direction, he suggested that a Big Four barley be convened immediately at Paris and run concurrently with the 21- nation conference. Such a move, Connally maintained, would ad vance the final settlements by per- hapS months. The g-Four-Brit- ain, Russia, France and the United StateS-must pass on the peace set- dement's once they are drafted by the full conference.
 Byrnes .'Right' |
 Conally said Byrnes' efforts to give small nations a real voice in the peace settlements was right. :" He added that the Big Four ought not to ignore the wishes and recom- mendations of the peace conference comprised of 21 nations" He said MT. Molotov is wrong in his atti- tude I feel sure that the con- ference will sustain Secretary Byr- nes' position"
 Likewise, Connally predicted that the Foreign Relations Committee would weigh heavily the voice given smaller nations when it comes to considering the treaty settlements.

 Vote Extra Heavy
 The vote in the district was un- usually heavy, but the strength Slaughter expected from heavy vote failed to materialize. He had depended on the "silk stocking dis trict" vote at tie south end of the polyget district to overcome Axtell's machine ward lead.
 Slaughter had predicted that he would receive 5000 votes from Re- publicans seeking to embarrass MT. Truman in the Democratic primary. Reports throughout the voting day indicated he probably did get a goodly vote in that category. The count last night obviously was a shock to him for the evening found him confident he would pull through.
 Slaughter went to bed without making any Statament
 The Congressman, member of the powerful House Rules Commit tee, ran far ahead in the south end of the district but his margin there was far below what he needed to wipe out the vote piled up by the Pendergast workers in their strong holds
 Alternatives Tested
 The President in calling for his defeat asserted that if Slaughter had been right in his stand on Ad- ministration-backe measures, then he, the President, was wrong.
 Axtell, through his campaign manager, Harry Morriss, issued a statement shortly before midnight in which he said:
 T want to thank the voters of the Fifth Missouri District for their nomination of me for Congress.
 .tTo those who voted for me, and those who cast their ballots for my two eminent opponents, I want to reffirm one of the pledges of my platform-that if elected in Novem- Der I will represent all of the people to the very best of my ability"
 AXtel. native of Kansas City, who worked in a feed store while studying law at night, entered the race without any pledges of support other than by some veterans Pen dergast said he threw his backing to the unknown because Walsh and Slaughter seemed to be opposed by considerable groups within the Democratic Party
 He made few radio speeches, said he spent very little money and re- lief principally on his organization support. Walsh, a close second in the district two years ago but very poor third yesterday, hurled charges of ''slush funds" and Slaughter packers talked of Com munismp and the threat to free sell eetion of Congressmen through presidential intervention.

Byrnes, he indicated, may be asked to furnish information on the rela- tive weight brought to bear by all nations-large and small - in the meetings.
 Meanwhile, Sen. Abe Murdock, (D-Utach). expressed belief that that the sharp exchange between Byrnes and Molotov in no way threatened the succes of the con- ference.
 I've always found that plain talk and direct language are most conducive to attaining equitable re- suits" Murdock said.
 He believed that such exchanges in the future were not unlikely. He pointed out that Byrnes, repeatedly referred to Molotov as my friend"

Looking Ahead

Because the program of the North
Carolina Travel council is so important
in development Of the states tourist
trade, it is heartening to see its lead
ers are placing considerable emphasis
on its long-range aspects.
The fact that it's directors are think
ing far beyond 1947 was disclosed after
the meeting in Pinehurst during the
past week.
Placing first things first, they draft
ed tentative plans for a thorough sur
vey of the attractions that bring the
most people to the state, how long these
visitors remain and what they do while
mentioning in our midst. Such an I'M
dertaking will require funds and those
industries and individuals which profit
from the tourist will be asked to assist
financially.
Leaders of the council are not con-
cerned about good tourist trade this
year or next. Their chief interest is
where the travelling vacationists will
go during 1850 or thereafter. There
fore, getting the facts in on present
conditions and what may be expected
in the future is mighty important.
Chief purpose Of the council to en-
courage Tar Heels who serve the tour
lists to improve facilities, to be more
courteous and helpful to guests and to
induce them to return for longer stays.
Again, the proposed survey of the
states facilities would be most helpful.
Meanwhile, Southeastern North

its highly worthwhile program will be
enliVened by selection of e. L. White,
president of the Wilmington Chamber
OF Commerce, as a member of the
board of directors. This section, be-
cause of its broad tourist attractions.
deserves competent representation and
we believe it will be forthcoming.

wise, his men work. He has proved,
time and again, that he can hold them

vate the industry, he is known to let

To us, it appears that such tactics

build up coal reserves, thus strength

founded. When this dictator goes into

Defying Government Again

John L.. Lewis United Mine Workers
have begun to defy the United States
government again.
In the face of a flat statement by
President Truman that there will be
no strike, walkouts already have clos
ed more than two score mines, en-
ploying almost 5000 men, in West Vir-
glnla, Kentucky and Tennessee.
The Solids Fuels administration,
now operating the mines, blames the
situation on failure of the workers to
understand that their contract with
the government is still in force. But
some Of the miners were reported to
have explained their work stoppage with
their traditional phrase mo contract,
no work" The STA said the union
leaders are trying to get the men back
into the pits by tomorrow.
But, according to John D. Battle,
executive of the National Coal a~ssocia-
