BENSON RECALLS
FIREWORKS RULE
Warns Against Shooting Of
Pyrotechnics In City Dur
ing Holidays

Shooting Of fireworks will not be
allowed on the city streets and
reasonable control of their use
within the city limits will be exer
cised during the holidays, City
Manager j. r. Benson said yester-
day.
Pointing out that county and city
laws forbid their sale, he further
reminded citizens that shooting
fireworks within the city limits is
prohibited by a city ordinance
He asked that anyone who might
risk being given a citation for dis
regarding this law, to be consider
ate of others while enjoying it
themselves. use due consideration
for others" Benson asked There
are highly nervous people and
those who r otherwise ill, and
loud noises will contribute to their
discomfort" he added.
There probably will be isolated
cases Of disregard for this law,
Benson said, in making the re-
quest.
He further cautioned grown per-
sons to be particularly careful
while handling fireworks around
children, saying that modern fire
crackers, skyrockets and roman
candles are more deadly than those
used in previous years.

YULETlDE LIGHTS

That Is The Question

reaching the Star-News last night.
1t all started when Wilmington
police officers received no orders
to turn the lights on last night
only orders to turn them off. i
sounded reasonable to them thai
they couldn't turn them off until
they we're turned on, but nothing
could be done until the official

who failed to give the word, or
who withheld the order, or who
overlooked the order that was not
given in the first place; neverthe-
less, he told the Police department
that as long as the lights had been
burning for three nights previous
ly, they may as well turn them on.

A. B. Blake, chairman of the
Retail Merchants association light

scheduled to be turned on
November %, which was Friday
night, and should continue to burn
until January 2.
City Councilman J. E. L. Wade,
program chairman of the Shriners'
convention, agreed with Blake,
but predicted his request that
the lights be turned on two days
early for the benefit of the conven-

Meanwhile, plans to extend the
tuberculosis Bond Sales campaign
until later in the week were an
nounced by Miss Lucy Nash, ex-
eeutive secretary of the New Han
over county Health and Tubercu-
losls society.
Miss Nash explained that the ex-
tension would give members of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce
Sales committee an opportunity to
call on unsolicited persons.
Returns from the bond sales
have been most disappointing so
far" she said The bonds repre-
sent advance gifts to the TB Seal
sales drive which opens tomorrow,
and do not take the place of the
seal campaign.
Miss Nash added that full re-
turns were slow coming in due ito
the large number of people not
contacted. Several reasons were
given, principal being that many
people were out of town.
Although this weeks annual seal
sales campaign will be the Both

be the 10th annual drive for the

A Swiss plane. circling the Glaci-
er at dusk reported that the Ameri-
cans were preparing to spend a
fifth night on the glacier, but this
time in complete safety with their
rescue assured. The pilot saw the
rescue party digging holes in the
snow around the plane for their
bedrolls.
Beside the obvious danger of
travelling on the treacherous slopes
at night, the rescue party, after
10 hours on the trail, was I'M
d%oubtedly wearied. They were ex-
pected to put the Americans on
toboggans at sun-up and bring them
down to Unferkirchen, three miles
southeast ct Rosenlaui. where, E.ere
is a road
Swiss officials explained their
lack of communicate with the
rescurers by saying they had only
walkie-talkie radio, with limited
ranges. Once they passed over the
hogback ridge dividing Rosenlaui
and Gaulig Glaciers, the Swiss
said, the walkie-talkies were use
less.
Brig. Gen. Ralph Tate, whose
wife vas aboard the transport and
whose son, Capt. Ralph Tate, Jr.,
was the pilot and crash-landed it
on the glacier said he had spoken
to his son by radio and had been
assured that all were alive.
The most seriously injured will
be brought down first to Merlin
gen, where an American army hos
pital unit was waiting to receive
them. The others will be brought
down in the order of their condi-
tions. Five were first reported in
iured, but later reports raised the
figure to eight.

The Government called for

man returned to Washington from
a Florida vacation to take person.
al charge Of his finish fight with
John l.. Lewis.
ALI indications pointed to a bit
ter drawn-out battle before coal
starts moving again from the
strike-bound mines.
As the growing coa1 shortage
forced new layoffs OF workers and
raised the threat of an early shut
down of amusement places, Secre-
tary of Interior Krug called on the
governors of the 48 states to i'm
pose new coal restrictions.
Krug told the governors that the
critically low coal emergency
stocks made it imperative that
you, by proclamation or other
means, notify the communities Of
your state that these supplies will
soon be exhausted unless the most
prudent and dratic rationing is ap-
piled by the communities them
selves"
Krug said each community
should decide what activities should
be given preference and ''wheth-
err available coal stocks should be
conserved by %dirnouts, closing or
restricting museument places, clos
ure of schools, curtailment Of pow
err for industrial purposes or wheth-
er III its opinion, coal stocks avail
able in the community are suffi-
Gent to justify no action"
He urged that each state set up
a post Of fuel c~onservator or a
fuel conservation committee to ad-
wise local committees.
In supplements to the previous
coal freeze order, Krug barred
railroads from taking owe coal
in transit and notified any shippers
whose mines r operating to ship
coal only on government orders to
emergency users.
A similar appeal to the public
to conserve coal came from Civil
ian production administrator John
D. Small.
President Truman told newsmen
he expected to hold conferences on
the coal strike over the weekend.

will come to a head Monday when

ian delegation to the United Ma
tons.
Manulsky previously had told
newsmen that he considered the
shooting, which took place in a
midtown New York delicatessen
Wednesday night, as a political
crime The Russian press and
radio also have attacked American
authorities for failure to apprehend
the assailants.
The protest was in the form Of a
long letter, which informed quar-
tiers said reviewed the shooting
incident and called on Byrnes to
bring to justice" those respon-
sible for the shooting.
These quarters said Manuilsky
expressed doubt that the incident
was a simple robbery, as main
tanned by New York police, and
asked that the Secretary of State
make sure that the case was given
urgent investigation.
He was quoted as demanding
that Byrnes inform him "about
the measures that have been
taken
Manuilsky described the circum-
stances in which the shooting took
place, when Stadnik along with
another Ukrainian adviser, A. D.
Voina, entered a delicatessen late
Wednesday night and had come
to the conclusion that this "is not
simple robbery"
Previously, Manuilsky had told
reporters that he considered it a
political crime"
He declared in his letter that
the shooting appeared to- be "a
premeditated attempt on the life
Of the two Ukrainians.
Two points were cited in the let
ter to bear out this conclusion:
l. The shooting took place in a
store, near the Hotel Plaza where
Stadnik and Voina usually went
at the same hour each day to buy
fruit.
2. No attempt was made to rob
the Ukrainians.

City manager j. R. Benson indi-
Gated late last night there was
no immediate prospect of Whining
ton being dimmed, as a result OF
dwindling fuel supplies. which fol
lowed the coal paralysis.
The city manager said any ac-
ton would have to follow a con-
ference with officials of the Tide
Water Power company, who were
not available for comment last
night.
1--WE have received no request
from any government agency ask
ing curtailmet of services, "Ben-
son declared, adding that Will
mington was ready to cooperate
during the crisis when the situa-
ton demanded action.
At the same time the govern.
ment was asking all communities
in the nsxon to. consider whether
it should restrict amusements and
close schools to conserve fuel, fol
lowing an investigation.
Benson indicated an it,estiga-
ton Of this type would probably be
held next week, and said in all
probability Tide Water Power Of
ficials would meet soon for a con-
ference.
Earlier, last week George Con-
ant, TWO commercial manager re-
ported there was no immediate
danger Of curtailment of services
in Wilmington, and a report from

STRIKE HALTS
LEAF AUCTIONS
OF Fuel Causes Inn
pending Shutdown Of
Markets In State

HENDERSON, Nov. 23-@-
Tobacco auction markets will be
closed after next Wednesday ~
another result Of the coal strike.
Fred S. Register, chairman Of
the flue-cured marketing commit
tee, said today that sales Of the
flue-cured tobacco marts would be
indefinitely suspended because Of
an expected acute shortage Of
coal for tobacco stemming and re-
drying plants.
The redrying plants have been
allocated coal only for the period
ending on December 7, and Roy
ster said that this supply would
serve only for the processing Of
tobacco already on hand and for
leaf to be marketed between now
and Wednesday. Register said that
the marketing committee felt that
it would be futile to continue the
auction of tobacco when the re-
drying plants would be unable to
process the leaf after it had been
sold.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 23.-{P-
Herschel Johnson, U. s.. delegate
to the United Nations Security
council, declared tonight that those
who oppose the elimination of the
five-power veto privilege threaten
"the liquidation of the world
peace organization.
This is the strongest U. S. state
ment yet made in opposition to
the small-nation campaign to abb
olish the veto. Russia used similar
language in defending the big
power voting privilege which is
presently being discussed by the
permanent members of the Sc
curity Council in an attempt to
modify its use.
While admitting that "it is good
to subject the unanimity principle
to critical discussion, johnson de-
clared:
Those who propose to eliminate
the veto power or more preciely,
the unanimity principle, are in
reality threatening the liquidation
of the United Nations"
Johnson's declaration was made
