THUMBING HIS WAY.
CT MAKES HONOLULU
IN NEW RECORD DASH

HONOLULU, Jan. 21-(R-
Staff Sgt. Harrison Jones Of
Charleston, S. c., is believed to
have set some sort of a record
in thumbing his way from
Charleston to Honolulu in five
days.
The 28-year-old veteran, with
more than eight years service
In the Army, was discharged
last November at Fort Bragg,
N. G.
He wanted to return to Pearl
Harbor as civilian Navy en-
ploye and join his wife in Homo
lulu. But red tape was too
much.
So Jones re-enlisted as a staff
sergeant, but before his fur
Tough ended he hitched a ride
On a Navy plane from Charles
ton to Atlanta. An ATC plane
took HIM to San Antonio and
a Marine plane to Los An
geles. There, some fast talk
ing got him aboard a C-54
bound for Honolulu,
Now he's back with his old
quartermaster company, after
arranging to be assigned here.

GROUP T0DISCUSS
RIGHTS ON RIVER

Right of way for federal i'm.
provements to the Cape Fear river
channel, to be furnished free of
cost to the U. S. government was
discussed at the meeting of the
New Hanover Board of County
Commissioners yesterday morning.
Attention was called to this reso-
luton which was made Dec. 10,
1945, by letter from Col. George
w. Gillette, Wilmington district
Army engineer.
A committee was appointed, con-
sisting of Addison Hewlett and
Marsden Bellamy to confer with
Colonel Gillette and return its find
ings to later meeting.
The certain improvement" re-
ferred to is the widening of the
channel from 300 to 400 feet and
increasing its depth from 30 to 80
feet from Wilmington to the South
port bar.
Lands referred to specifically in
the letter properties owned by the
Atlantic Coast Line, T. M. Sumner.

House investigating committee to
day. to the applause Of spectators
after repeating his view that re.
sponsibility for the Pearl Harbol
disaster lay in Washington.

have anticipated such an attack, 81
he said.
In his sixth day as a witness,
Kimmel also testified:
1. He held no ell will' against
the late President Roosevelt for
removing him as Pacific Fleet
commander after Japan's attack.
2. In the summer of 1941-months
before the war-American war
ships escorted a Dutch vessel from
Pearl Harbor to New Guinea. AS
he recalled, Kimmel said, it car
ried American filters bound for
China.
3. The late Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox, making a personal
inquiry at Pearl Harbor within a
week after the attack, had insist
ed that a message was sent to
Kimmel and Admiral Thomas C.
Hart, commander of the Asiatic
fleet, the night before the Sunday

Reconversion Director Snv-
der Says Production
Levels To Increase

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-B -
The nations level of production is
the 'highest it has ever been in
any peacetime year and there is
every indication that it will go
higher" Reconversion Director
John W. Snyder reported today.
But this Every real progress
in reconversion has not yet shown
itself in goods in stores and show
rooms, Snyder notified President
Truman and Congress, and this
creates an inflationary pressure
which will not abate through 1916.
Unemployment, while only halt
as severe as expected, will hit its
peak in early spring simultane-
ously with the strongest upsurge
of inflationary forces, he pre-
dicted in year-end report sent
to capitol hill along with Mr.. Tru-
mans message to the Congress.
The threat of rising prices while
millions are jobless and without
earnings, he said, makes it i'm
perative that Congress immediate
ly extend the Price Control Act
which otherwise will expire on
June 30.
1--WE cannot afford an economic
Pearl Harbor," Snyder said in his
strongest appeal to date for con-
tinued holding of the price line.
1T would be foolhardy not to
recognize that the excess of de-
mand over supply throughout the
economic system may continue far
beyond June 3d."
While production for civilian use
is at an annual rate $780,
900, 100000 greater than it was
four months ago, he reported, the
basic need to meet both the infla.
ton and unemployment problems
is greater production.
eve must race to expand our
output. We must smother infla-
ton with a steady stream of goods.
We must speed up the wheels of
to create the jobs our
workers and veterans need"
Joblessness now is estimated at
!, 100000 persons, compared with
the 100000 or 100000 that the
administration expected. the re-
conversion director said.
AT its highest point, unemploy-
ment will not reach the 5000, 900
level which was forecast official
~, he continued. Noting that the
rise which followed VJ-Day cut
backs was reversed within 80 days,
he said "all indications point to
a continued climb in Industrial
employment.
The report blamed labor strife
for retarding mass output of some
major items, but said high produc-
ton of automobiles, refrigerators
and other durable goods for con-
sumers could not have been
achieved by this time, in any
case"
Some manufactu will hold
back goods from the market de-
liberately, Snyder said, if they
suspect that price control will be
lifted from their products at mid
year.

In financial and industrial circles
