OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR SHIP SERVICE
Increase In Freight Rates
MAY Hasten Return OF
Traffic

The Interstate Commerce COM
missions grant of 20 per cent
freight rate increase to the nation S
steamship lines will be the signal
for a renewed campaign to improve
water service into the port of Will
mington, j. T. HERS, general agent
of the Wilmington Port Commits
sion, said last night.
Shippers considering use of the
local port have since the close of
World War II expressed the view
that they could not operate sue
cessfully until their freight rates
were increased, HERS pointed out.
Yesterday he and Henry E. Boyd,
manager of the Wilmington Port
Traffic commission, conferred on
the extent of the ices order pre-
paratory to re-opening negotiations
with lines which have previously
considered use of the local port.
First objective of the commission
will be restoration of the three
ship a month schedule operated
here by the American-Hawaiian
Steamship line before the war. The
lines ships link Wilmington with
the West Coast.

MANY THANKS Along The
Cape Fear is all agog as yesterday
We received a boutonniere from a
reader of our column.
And such a boutonniere it was.
The kind lady who brought it to
us requested that her name not
be used so we will have to confine
ourselves to thanking Mrs. c. M.
M. of Carolina Beach for her
thoughtfulness.
What particularly caught our
fancy was the fact that the bout
onniere could be eaten although
customarily sucn a floral piece can
be used only for decorating your
coat lapel.
The good Mrs. c. M. c. said she
spied some fresh strawberries
growing in the garden of Mrs. d.
M. Greer and to person OF artls-
tic ability that was all that was
necessary.
She plucked three lucious-looking
berries, then added to these were
several violets. ALI were tied with
a red bow.

Miners Start
Digging Coal
First Day Production Since
Strike End Placed AT
100000 Tons
STEEL MILLS BUSY
Ford Motor Company Re-
calls 10000 Furloughed
Employees Monday

PITTSBURGH, Dec. g.
(U.P) - More than 100000
soft coal miners returned to
work Monday, digging an esti-
mated 100000 tons of badly
needed coal-about two thirds
of a normal days production.
The nations industries, for
the most part, snapped back
to normal.
Steel production was ex-
pected to rise almost Is per
cent this week. Ford Motor
company recalled 10000 furlough-
ed employees.
In most cases where miners re-
mained idle, they had received no
official word of the end of the
17-day strike from United Mine
workers headquarters in Washing
ton.
In the Western Pennsylvania
fields, absenteeism was 20 per cent,
compared to the normal PEI
cent, indicating a feeling of ire
bellion' among the miners over
the disappointing outcome of their
strike.
However, more miners were to
return on the night shift, and near
normal production was expected
Tuesday. A United Press survey
showed approximately 70 per cent
of the miners returned Monday.
while the Solid Fuels administra-
ton estimated coal production at
68 per cent.
The American Iron & Steel insti-
tute estimated that the operating
steel rate this week would jump
to 69.8 per cent Of the theoretical
capacity. The institute expected
that mills would speedily build up
production to the ola per cent post
war high reached three weeks ago
before the coal strike began.
Some 1890, 100 ingot tons of steel
were expected to be produced this
week, compared to 1,061 1000 last
week.
In the Pittsburgh district, Jones
& Laughlin Steel Corp. recalled
all of the 1,1O0 men laid off and
expected to return to normal levels
within few days.
The railroads recalled the thous-
ands of workers who had been
furloughed, and the freight situa-
ton was expected to be straighten-
ed out within few days.
In Pennsylvania about $4,000 of
the states 100000 soft coal miners
returned to the pits. Sixteen mines
still were down in Western Penn
sylvania, two of them in pre-st-ike
disputes. Two-thirds of the mines
in Central Pennsylvania reopened.
In West Virginia. only IS mines
in the Williamson field were idle.

headquarters, and over rs per cent
of the states 100000 miners return

in Harlan county went back be-
cause they were dubious" of press
and radio reports that John L.
Lewis had called off the strike.

Ill With Mystery Disease

Last of the IL babies to leave the

of Wakefield. Born nine days ago,
the tot was given only two hours
to live. She was taken by ambu-
lance to Children's hospital where
three months ago specialists had
established a blood bank for the
disease known as Erythroblastosis.
Plastic tubes were inserted into
the baby's naval vein and thread

DOCTORS PRAISED
FOR RESCUE WORK
Wilmingtonian Lauds Hos
pital Staff For Service
AT Atlanta Fire

Early Saturday morning, youth
full Wilmington intern walked a
rickety ladder stretched IA stories
above the streets of Atlanta and
carried three persons out of the
particular patch of hell that was the
Hotel Winecoff.
Last night, DR.. Joseph Ward
Hooper, Jr., hailed as one of the
heroes of the nations most disas-
trous hotel fire, would comment
only on the achievement of the
doctors who staff Atlanta's Henry
Grady Memorial hospital. where
95 per cent of the Winecoff's still
living victims were carried for
treatment.
DR.. Hooper, the son of one Of
Southeastern Cardinals leading
surgeons, reached the Winecoff at
three o'clock Saturday morning as
an intern on one OF the Grady Me-
mortal ambulances.
Three times he entered its hol-
ocaust of flame, smoke and agony
and he passed back and forth
through the fire lines surrounding
the Winecoff more times than he
could remember last night.
He could remember, worst of all,
his first sight of the hotel with
the fires victims plunging from
her windows to their death on At
lanta's Queenly Peachtree Street.
But he did not enter the Winecoff
once firemen had her under con-
troll and last night he said he had
not yet gone back 10 see her gutted
and gapingwindowed ruin.
