MANY BUSINESSMEN
ENJOY DAILY SWIM
AT "Y" POOL HERE

Dozens of Wilmington business
mo, are finding the swimming pool
at the Y.M.C.A., a haven from the
heat these days, according to
Adam Smith, physical director. The
number of men who wend their
wav to the "Y" for a swim after
business hours is increasing daily,
Smith stated yesterday, and indlca-
ted that plans are underway to
make this a regular feature on the
"Y" program of activities.
MANY men, it seems, prefer a
swim in the "Y' pool before going
home from work rather than take
time for a trip to n of the beach
es and they all seem to be getting
real enjoyment out OF their daily
plunge" Smith said.
IT have endeavored to arrange
my schedule in such a way as to
be present at the pool in the late
afternoon and will only be too glad
to give instruction to businessmen
who wish to improve their SWIM
ming strokes, Or teach those who
have not learned the art of SWIM
ming. I find that those who have
been visiting the pool for a swim
each afternoon appreciate the op-
portunity and the "Y" will vel
come any who care to take ad-
vantage of our swimming facili-
ties"

wanted to borrow it so he could

We'll. we told him who gave us

copies of last Thursdays paper for

a bit greedy to take any credit for
it at all.
The one who really deserves the
credit is Mrse. j. A. NJ, who loaned
the picture to us in the first place
out of the goodness of her heart.
This leads us to repeat what we
said yesterday. If any of you folks
have an old picture of interest, we
sure would like to borrow it for

the unexpected case of Mr.. Muir

Washington Bureau

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July %. - De-
spite a protest by the Southern
Traffic league, of which J. T. HERS
of Wilmington, N. c., is president,
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion proceeded Monday with hear
ings at Chicago concerning a pro-
posed twenty-five per cent increase
in railroad freight rates.
An ICC spokesman told this
bureau that the commission had
not acted upon the Leagues petition
requesting postponement of the
Chicago hearing, which concerns
interterritorial rates, and one
scheduled August 8 at Atlanta, for
southern rates.
He said it is possible that the
commission would render a deci-
sion at a meeting Monday. Individ-
ual members already are studying
the petition from the Southern
Traffic league which asked that
the hearings be postponed al
least a month so that the shippers
would have more time for pre-
pairing evidence to support their
fight against the rate boost.
Also the league requested that
the commission amend its notice so
that the southern shippers at the
Atlanta hearing might present evil
dence with respect to int~erterrito-
rial as well as int~raterritorial rates.

He said he would not do so until
it arrives at the White House.
He added, however, that he had
told Mr.. Truman "this bill is better
in many important and material
respects than the one he vetoed"
Meanwhile showdown votes on the
new measure were arranged for
Tuesday in both houses.
The main argument presented by
the Commerce department report
issued by the White House was
this:
"It is to the interest of those
groups in the community who have
been lobbying to end price control,
to keep price increases at a mini
mum during the interim while the
fate of OPA is being decided by
Congress. This consideration has
undoubtedly motivated some of he
voluntary 'hold-the-line' agreements
which have been widely publicized
by industry"

Another factor, the report said,
has been the prospect of reimposi-
ton Of OPA controls and a rollback
to June 80 levels.
1t said that a striking aspect of
the large increases" that have &C.
Cured has been that they came in
the face of that outlook, and added:
without this prospect overhang-
ing the market, price increases
would most certainly have been
greater and more general"

will not be owned by the county,
these being in the 81 acres still
owned by the Navy Depart

when it ultimately takes over the

Mr.. Bentley said he was conf

that present permission must
