AlongThe Cape Fear
FRIEND INDEED

: FRIEND INDEED - Thanks to
the fine memory, which should be
a priced possession of Mr.. Paul
Cantwell, Along The Cape Fear can
report real progress on culling the
early history of the telephone here
in the Port City.
Mr.. Cantwell, who is connected
with the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
road here, added these interesting
facts to u meager knowledge of
Wilmington's first telephone.
Just of hand, Mr.. Cantwell re-
calls the numbers Of many of the
earliest phones installed in the
city.
For example if you were anxi-
Gus to get in touch with Western
Union prior to the turn of the
century all you had to do was ask
the operator to connect you with
number 2. Double that number
and you would be talking to a
predecessor of Police Chief Charles
Casteen as number 4 was the Will
mington Police departments phone
number in those days.
MORE TO COME - But that is
far from all that Mr.. Centwell can
recall from memory concerning the
early telephones here. Hall and
Pearsall was listed as No. 6 while
Robinson and King could be reach
ed by calling No. 9.

A possible early break in the soft

Thursday night when John L.
Lewis summoned to Washington
the 80 union district presidents
who would have to approve any
settlement plan.
The union-government wage talks
were recessed until Monday with
out any report on progress, but the
call to the unions district officers
indicated the negotiations had
reached the stage where an i'm
portant decision was to be made.
Lewis plans to end his present
contract with the government on
behalf of his 400, 600 United Mine
workers Nov. 20, although Secre-
tary of Interior Krug has question
ed the legality of such a move.
Neither Lewis nor Krug has at
tended the Washington wage talks,
which have been conducted by
their lieutenants, but both may
be present Monday.
Meanwhile, striking Trans World

It appeared that the official can

Herbert O'Conor Cd and D. John
Marley (R) in the Maryland Sen

Rep. Walter K. Granger CD and

stood:
Present Lineup
Senate - Republicans 81, Dem
ocrats A. y
House Republicans 246, Dem

Unofficial returns gave Kilgore
a 5000 lead over Sweeney with 10
precincts uncounted. Chairman Jay
