DARK FOR l94I

Washington, June 3-The nations
1947 supply Of meats may fall bill
lion pounds below this years made
quate output as result of feed grain
shortages and recent increases in
ceiling prices of livestock feeds.
This forecast was made by the
Agriculture Department in a report
which estimated that Americans, if
they could, would buy an average of
Is to 20 pounds more meat this year
than will be available.
Next years supply of all classes
of meat-beef, pork, lamb and NUT

TRUMAN FILINGS
CAUSTIC WORDS
AT HIS CRITICS

Washington, June 3 - President
Truman turned on critics of his re
cent labor policy last night with al
assertion that he would continue Il
fight ''for the right of the individ
ual" and "the best welfare of the
country"
Speaking at commencement exer-
cises at George Washington Univer-
sity, the President said, Sometimes
We have emergencies to meet" and
they have been met in the way tina.
seems best for the country's welfare
Without mentioning directly hi,
appeal to Congress for labor legisla-
tion to handle strikes against the
to those whom he considered critical
of his course.
He said that when you can get
Senators Pepper, Democrat of Flor
ida and Taft, Republican of Ohio, the
Communist Daily Worker and the
Wall Street Journal "in accord, the
world is perfectly safe"
Speaking after receiving an hon
orary degree of Doctor of Laws, and
after his daughter Margaret was
graduated from the 125-year-old in
stitution, the President told the COM
mencement audience, We've just
been through the greatest struggle
in history for the individual liberty"
and I'VE are still fighting for the
right of the individual"
He added that he was going to
continue that fight for individual
liberty.
He said that the United States
government had been organized to
protect the rights of the individuals.
"The end of things has not come
for this nation or the world" he con-
tinued.
"When the President of the United
States, by one speech, can get Claude
Pepper and Bob Taft, the Communist
Daily Worker, and the Wall Street
Journal in accord, the world is per-
fectly safe"
Mr.. Truman quoted from the
speeches which he said were made
by Henry Clay, speeches he said he
had been referred to him by Associ-
ate Justice Hugo Black Of the Su-
oreme Court.
Clay, the President said, predicted
many years ago that at the rate the
government was going there would
scarcely be vestige left by the third
of March, 1887.
On another OCCASION he said, Clay
talked of the government being trans
ferred to ian elective monarchy"
He said that it seemed to him that
he had heard talk like that lately.
He said "history repeats itself"

VET STUDENTS
ARE DUE REFUND

Winston-Salem, May 30-Veterans
who entered school at their own ex-
pense while they were on terminal
leave or while they were hospitalizeo
and awaiting discharge before De-
cember %, l945, may receive refunds
for tuition, books and supplies under
recently announced Veterans Ad-
ministration procedure.
No provision was made for such
cases in the original G. l. Bill passed
in June, 1914. But the amended G.I
Bill (Servicemen's Readjustment
Act), approved December 2s, 1915
did cover them.
Under the procedure set up by VA
refunds will be handled through the
VA regional office having jurisdic-
tion over the area in which each vet
eran lives. VA will pay the refunds
to the educational institution after il
has reimbursed him.
Regional Manager J. D. DeRamus
said the procedure is as follows:
l. The veteran must obtain a cer-
titled statement from the school he
attended, giving the period he was
enrolled, the course of studies he
pursued, and the money he paid for
tuition, books and supplies. The
statement must indicate that the in
stitution has reimbursed him for the
money he spent.
2. The North Carolina veteran
must submit this certified statement
to the VA regional office at terminal
leave at the time, he must include a
photostatic copy of the service order
placing him on terminal leave. If he
was hospitalized and awaiting dis
charge, he must include a statement
by the proper official of the station
post or hospital in which he was
receiving treatment, including infor-
nation as to the date of his dis
charge or, if he still is hospitalized
of the probable discharge date
Whether he was on terminal leave
or whether he was hospitalized, he
must include an official VA applica-
tion for education or training in event
he has not already filed one.
8. The institution must submit tc
the same regional office public
voucher covering the amount refund
ed to the veteran.
VA explained it can make refunds
only if the institution in which the
veteran was enrolled had been ap
proved by the Veterans Education
Committee of the State Department
Of Public Instruction. The money
refunded must not exceed the amount
which VA would have authorized fol
education or training under instruc
tions in effect during the period fol
which the veteran is asking REIN
bursement.
Since the CT Bill was amended b!
Public Law 26S, a serviceman other
wise eligible for benefits may appl!
for training and enter school a
soon as he is on terminal leave o
while he is hospitalized pending dis
charge. The school then can bill W
for his expenses along with those o
other veteran-students. However, h
can not receive subsistence allowanc
while on terminal leave or hospital
ized, VA said.

Pvt. Clyde r. Hill
Begins His Training
In Spokane, Wash.

Geiger Field, Spokane, Wash, June
3-Pvt. Clyde R. Hill of Route 3,
Lincolnton, N. c., has begun train
ing as an Aviation Engineer OF the
Army Air Forces at Geiger Field,
Spokane, Wash, according to word
received today from Colonel Eric
Dougan, Commanding Officer.
The many skilled subject taught at
the AAF Aviation Engineer School,
such as repair and operations of au-
tomotive equipment, tractors and
graders used in airport and highway
construction, should prove of inesti-
mable value as future civilian oc-
cupation. Drafting, surveying and
carpentry are some of the other sub
jects at the Engineer Training
School,
Upon completion of his training
the new Aviation Engineer soldier
will probably be assigned to an Avi-
alton Engineer unit These units are
an integral part of the Army Ali
Forces and have as their mission the
performance of all engineer work
needed by the Air Forces in all the
aters of operations.
Something new to military science
the Aviation Engineers performance
in this war remains to be fully told
1t is matter of recorded history
however, that the mechanical might
of the Aviation Engineers in far
flung battle areas constructed oul
bases from which were launched thu
many Knockout punches against ou1
enemies.

THE CRIES OF TWO CHILDREN

A healthy, hungry child Fuckers up
his face and voices a hearty, full
lunged cry for nourishment. And a
harried mother, burdened with house
hold tasks, quiets the cry with its
regular feeding. Sometimes she frets
bit because the baby is a half
hour or an hour off schedule.
That's America.
An ailing, starving child, too weak
to cry, makes just mewling little
noise. His despairing and equally
hungry mother can do nothing. There
is no regularly scheduled feeding to
silence that plaintive sound. There
never has been a regular feeding
schedule in that child's lifetime.
| That's Europe.
Can you hear that cry and fail to
answer? Certainly not!

conserve all wheat products, fats and

gagged to fly passenger, a Mr..
Bridges, to the Bridges airport near

Friday afternoon to Mr.. Moore's for
mer home at Wilmington, Illinois,

ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES
CLERK OF SUPERIOR COURT
MAY NAME ADMINISTRATOR

divorced woman could file a petition
to have her name changed under the
general statutes providing for the
change of names of individuals. I'm
der these statutes the divorcee could
have her name changed to her maid
en- name.
There is no law in North Carolina
which authorizes the issuance of a
permit to carry pistol, and non
residents as we'll as residents are
subject to Indictment for carrying a
weapon concealed about the person
when off their own premises.
Our statutes prohibit marriage
between persons nearer of kin than
first cousins, and specifically pro-
vides that double first cousins may
not marry.
Under North Carolina laws, the
registration of a trademark in this
state protects the owner in the use
of the registered name or trademark

Under our law personal property

Raleigh, June 3-Attorney General
Harry Mcmillan ruled Friday that
"a clerk of Superior court has au-
thority to appoint an administrator
if he is satisfied of the death of a
person whose estate is to be admin
istered, and official communication
from the War or Navy Department
would be evidence to be considered
by the clerk in reaching his conclu-
sion as to death.
However, should it later develop
that the person is actually alive, the
action of the clerk would be void"
He also held in a digest of opin-
ions:
North Carolina cities and towns
have authority to license, prohibit
and regulate pool and billiard rooms
and dance halls in the interest of
public morals, and an ordinance reg
ulating or prohibiting the attendance
of minors at dance halls where beer
and wine are sold would come within
this authority.
A clerk of Superior court who is
appointed to fill vacancy and then
elected in other than a regular cleo
tion year, is not elected for a four
year term but for the unexpired
term, and if he is to continue to
serve, must stand for reelection and
be reelected at the next succeeding
general election.
