Head Of Auto Union
Denies Ford Charge
OF wildcat Strike
BY the Assoeioted Press

DETROIT, Oct. 12.-Richard T.
Leonard, head of the CIO United
Auto Workers Ford Division, today
took sharp issue with Henry Ford,
I'd, who has asked CIO President
Philip Murray to help end what he
called wildcat strike" at the Ford
River Rouge plant.
Mr.. Leonard declared in a state
ment that the walkout had "extreme
provocation from the company" and
insisted it was mot violation of
the UAW-CIO contract with the
Ford Motor Co."
Mr.. Murray declined today to in
tervene in the dispute. He issued
this statement, which his Office said
was sent to Ford:
TN acknowledgment of your tele-
gram, I have discussed the matter
with UAW Vice President Orchard
t. Leonard, who advises me that
certain of the employees concerned
are working under extremely haz-
ardous conditions affecting health
and life.
"He further advises that repre-
sentatives of the Ford Motor Co.,
together with Vice Presidents Leon
ard and Thomas and Secretary
Adde's, are now in meetings. I ex-
press the hope that mutually salts
factory conclusions will be reached"
Little progress was reported from
long session yesterday between
union and company officials. Thomas
Thompson, president of the Ford
Local 600, said the membership has
been called to a meeting tomorrow
to consider the situation.
Mr.. Leonard's retort was prompted
by a telegram which Mr.. Ford adj
dressed yesterday to Mr.. Murray
over the heads of UAW officials.
The industry executive, informing
Mr.. Murray that his company was
losing 1,700 tons of steel a day be-
cause of the strike, asked:
"Is the CIO now prepared to give
the kind of security it asks for it
self? Can and will the CIO, backed
by the responsible majority of its
members, control the subversive and
insurgent factions which are ap-
parently calling the tune in so many
places today?"
Mr.. Thompson Joined Mr.. Leonard
in his protest and asserted hazard
our working conditions were respon-
sible for the strike. Involved are
a dozen crane operators in the open
hearth division of the plant. There
have been about 1000 layoffs since
the walkout began.
IF Mr.. Ford seeks constructive So
luton to our problem in the Ford
plant" Mr.. Thompson said, "he
could much better spend some time
visiting the open hearth and num-
ber of other areas of Ford plants
where workers have been under
pressure to accept hazardous en-
ployment"
Mr.. Leonard insisted that neither
nor the UAW-CIO will coun-
tenance illegal stoppages. /

French Writer Is 0usfed
For Nuremberg Plea Story
BY the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, Oct. 12.-Gen. Pierre
Koenig, French military governor
for Germany and member of the
Allied Control Council, expelled from
Germany yesterday French corre-
spondent charged with publishing
details of the Councils rejection Of
clemency pleas. for the Nazi leaders
sentenced at Nuremberg, before they
were officially announced.
The ousted correspondent was
Jacques Souvairan, 26, who had rep

American representatives in the

Koenig's action was entirely uni

after Gen Koenig announced it to

Navy Day
Today is Navy Day.

IOQaV is navy LAY.
It is quite appropriate that the calen-
dar should place it on a Sunday, the
finest of the seven days to remember
solemnly the thousands of members OF
the fleets who made the supreme sacrl-
flee in World war II.
Memorial exercises will be conduct
ed here and elsewhere throughout the
nation. Yet these ceremonies will be
hollow unless the ideal - peace - for
which these men died is reverently re-
membered. Their fight was one against
tyranny, from Pearl Harbor to the
glorious conclusion of the signing of
the Japanese surrender in Tokyo bay.
In giving their all, they passed on a
great responsibility.
AS President Truman said yesterday,
"Let US pray God to Undue us with
something of their inconquerable spirit,
that we may better contribute to re-
alization of the day when all nations
will live in brotherhood and in assur-
ance of lasting peace"
Until that day arrives every Amerl-
can must realize that which now passes
for peace must be safeguardeo. One OF
the greatest instruments of protection
is a powerful Navy. 1t, more than any
thing else, commands the necessary re-
spect.
The past war was a global one. If
there is another, it will follow the same
but more terrifying pattern.
Therefore, the first line of defense is
our Navy.
Through maintenance Of its proper
strength, America is assured a securi-
ty comparable in might to any threat
we may again face. That, and only that,
is the means of maintaining true faith
with those who died that this nation
and it's life may continue.

Appropriate Resolution

The members of the Northeastern
district of the North Carolina Educa-
tional association, meeting in Winston
Salem a few days ago, voted to back
the proposal of their state officers for
a 20 per cent increase in salaries.
We haven't seen their resolution
but, in the interest of maintenance of
the standards of our schools, we hope
it was a strong one. For too long, the
members of the teaching profession in
this and other states has suffered from
inadequate pay.
But they are not the only victims of
this short-sighted policy.
Because Of the misery financial re-
turns, hundreds have been forced to
seek other means of earning a llveli-
hood. Too many of these vacancies have
been filled by poorly trained and in.
competent persons. The result has been
q marked deterioration in the quality
of instruction. The shortage has
brought on greater teacher-loads and
overwork for the faithful who have re-
NAMED.
The Southeastern district associa-
ton will meet in Wilmington in the
near future. All interested in tne ad-
vancement of education will look for
ward to passage of another resolution
similar to that approved at the
Winston-Salem gathering.

Mr.. Julian Price

North Carolina has lost its most
prominent and progressive insurance
executive and Greensboro today mourns
the passing of one Of it's most valuable
citizens in the death of Mr.. Julian
Price.
His fatal injury in an automobile
accident near North Wilkesboro came
as a tremendous shock to his numerous
friends and acquaintances. This large
group extended we'll beyond insurance
circles. One of North Cardinals lead
ing citizens, many knew and liked him
as a state and local civic leader. Among
his activities outside his long and high
ly successful career as head of the JEFF
ferson Standard company were chair
manship Of the state Salary and Wage
commission at one time and former
membership on the Greensboro City
council.
The story of Mr.. Prices life is like
that of many another American who
rose from the bottom to the very TOP
of his field.
After attending public schools, he
became a telegraph operator for the
Southern railway at Meherrin. He was
transferred to Richmond and later to
Durham.
In 1903, he quit the railroad and be-
came a travelling representative for the
American Tobacco company, a job he
held for two years. His connection with
the insurance business, in which he
was to become a national leader, began
In 1905 when he took over the job of
an agent for the Greensboro Life In
surance company.
Four years later, he vas made Sec

The number of New Hanover
county residents having X-rays
taken in a drive against tuber-
culosis, has more than doubled
this year, over 1945 figures, Miss
Lucy l.. Nash, secretary of the
county tuberculosis association,
disclosed yesterday.
The Health department clinic
has x-rayed 2,735 persons so far
this year, as against 1888 in 1945,
and only 254 in 1914" she said.

ing with the Junior Chamber OF

which starts tomorrow, and runs
to Nov. 2, said the campaign
against TB was a year round pro-
gram, and urged everyone to nave
the x-rays taken.
Mass surveys show many per-
sons afflicted with TB, do not
know it until they have an x-ray
taken, and statistics prove IL out
Of every 1000 inspected do have
the disease" she said.
American Legion auxiliary mem
bers are trying to persuade otner
womens groups to have chest *

the Health clinic had set aside
Tuesday and Thursdays for the
drive.
DR.. A. H. Elliott, health officer,
and Miss Nash said they expected
to be kept busy during the weeks
campaign, declaring civic organ
izations and labor unions have
been requested to visit the clinic
in a body, for the x-rays.
Miss Nash said the great increase
in the emphasis on the anti-tuber-
culosis work was probably realized
by a change in the health depart
ment policies.
"In 1914. x-rays were taken only

he said.
DR.. Elliott said when a canine
showed positive, in a rabies test,
he usually died within ten days,
and declared it was better to OBJ
serve the dog clinicly, than to
shoot him outright.
The Health officer, now working
short-handed since the war, said
the department was testing every
one who works near food for tu-
berculosis, as part of its routine.
Food analysts, domestic work
ers, cafe workers., and anyone
having household contacts, get
both blood tests, and chest x-rays,'
he said.
Other services include Penicillin

n Of the widest sections of the
country. A plane aided searchers.
Beach said he and his wife had
started early Wednesday morning
from the tiny town of Balsas in
the state Of Guerrero, 10 miles
southwest of Mexico City, in a
homemade canvas-covered canoe.
They padded about 40 kilometers
(25 niles over rapids and along
the picturesque Blasts which drops
from the high plateau near Taxco
to the Pacific where it spread out
into alligator infested swamps.
The young couple pitched camp
about 5 p. m. and went to bed in a
canoe tent about 8:15 p. m. after
a cup Of buollion.
THE next thing I knew was the
tremendous roar of the gun. Nan
jumped and screamed and the
tent was knocked down" Beach
said.
Three men, their faces covered
with handkerchiefs, shined a, flash
light in the faces of Beach and his
wife. By its light, Beach said he
saw the gaping wound in Mans
left shoulder. She died in Beaca's
arms the next morning.
Beach said the men took his 20
calibre rifle, their clothing, Gamer
as, medical supplies and food and
then FLED into the darkness.
The only possible excuse for the
attack" Beach told the Associated
Press, was that they desired her,
so to speak, and got the wrong
one when they shot. l don't see
why they didn't kill us both"
Beach, still suffering from a bad
case of nerves and chain smoking
cigarets, told the Associated Press
this graphic story of his 11-hour
fight to save the life of his pretty
bride.

Annual Contest Needed

The first Photographers contest of
the Chamber of Commerce is over with
several Wilmington photographers re-
ceiving the recognition they deserve
and the trade organization obtaining
numerous valuable prints for advertise
ing and other purposes.
The number of entries was not as
large as anticipated but, on the whole,
the competition was quite successful.
Beyond the point of it's value as a
stimulus of interest in photography,
the contest is so important to the Cham
Der of Commerce that it should become
an annual event.
1t would serve to keep the organiza-
tons file of photographs u%p-to-date, a
condition that has not always prevail
ed. Pictures several years old may be
interesting but they certainly do not
indicate a progressive spirit by those
responsible for their presentation.
1t would encourage year-around pic
lures showing Wilmington's natural,
industrial and other at their
best. With the understanding that there
would be annual competition, the pros
pective entrant could take his photo
graph at the most %opportune time,
probably several months prior to the
entry date.
1t is also reasonable to presume that
each year would see new pictures un-
covered, some of which would well
bring out points of interest often over
looked by all here.
The event is too beneficial to the
important pictorial phase of Chamber
of Commerce activity not to be main
tanned on an annual basis.
