Vestal Virgins - among whom
towards the middle of the XIV
century was a beautiful novice
called Brute. On the very day |

of the sacrilige, that with their

Bishop Waters Expects
Building To Be Ready
I'm 10 Months"

Despite the current critical
shortage of building materials,
Bishop Vincent S. Waters, of Ra-
leigh, sponsor of Wilmington's
future $3.50, 900 Holy Family hos
pital, said yesterday that he hopes
to get the institution Under con-
struction as early as possible
Bishop Waters revealed that
some materials are already being
purchased and negotiations with
contractors underway.
Priority Channels
"Of course most of the materials
will have to be obtained through
priority channels" he added, but
we hope to get them before too
long a time"
He also pointed t that even if
construction is begun soon it might
take "18 months" to complete the
hospital since the materials may
be allotted only a little at a time.
I'VE hope, though" he said,
that the building-material situa-
ton will clear up before the year
is out and therefore speed COM
pletion of the project
Revising Plans
The firm Of Reilly Architects,
New York city, he disclosed, is
revising the hospit i plans and will
make a final survey of the site
here within a molth.
Arriving in Wilmington yesterday
morning, Bishop Waters expressed
his gratitude to the people of Will
mington, New Hanover county, and
surrounding counties who did
such a wonderful job" in raising
$156, 900 to finance the hospital.
May God bless every one of
you," he said, land help us make
this institution of mercy a reality
in the shortest possible time"
Representatives of the Sisters of
the Holy Family of Nazareth, the
international order which will op-
crate the hospital, will come to
Wilmington in about a month to

PARKER DEFERS
BOX DECISION
Judge Expected To Rule
Today On Fire Alarm
Controversy

After a heavy, three-hour argu-
mentative session in Superior court
here yesterday afternoon, Judge
Hunt Parker deferred until this
morning his decision on the Game
we'll company's and Sunset Park
citizens petition for injunction
against the city's contract with the
Wilmington Electric Supply COM
pany for Ill Horni fire-alarm
boxes.
In discussing court action on such
cases in the past, Judge Parker
said:
THE majority of the rulings
seems to have been to grant in
functions in cases of this type only
to local taxpayers-such as Rich
ard H. Davis and David H. Craig
in the case before us now. On
the other hand, non-local tax pay
ing parties-such as the GameWell
company-should, according to the
general rulings, be denied an in
junction on the grounds that they
can seek suitable redress by fill
ing a regular civil suit for dam
ages"

DRAFT MEASURE
BACK TO SENATE
House Sends Controversial
Issue Back To Upper
Body

WASHINGTON, May 13-P)-
With the draft law expiring at
midnight Tuesday the House Mon
day night tossed the controversial
issue back to the Senate by amend
ing stop = gap legislation extend
ing the law to July l.
Disregarding administration
warnings that the action meant
the death of selective service, the
House approved these amendments
to a stop-gap measure which the
Senate had passed last week ex-
tending the law unchanged for
As days:
l. A. ban against induction of
farmers.
2. A prohibition against draft
ing IS and 19-year-olds and a ban
against drafting anyone over 30.
s One Day To Act
The Senate has one day in which
to act on the amendments. 1t pre-
viously had sidetracked separate
House legislation containing these
and other restrictions.
Both amendments were approved
by a single roll-call vote Of 213 to
154, after having been adopted
separately earlier. They were Of
fered by Representative Sheridan
(D-Pa).r
Despite pleas of Democratic
Leader Mccormack of Massachu-
sets and Democratic Whip Spark
man of Alabama that the action
meant the death of the draWft law
because the Senate could not COM
plete action by midnight Tuesday
House supporters of the amend
ments contended the Senate could
act if it wants to.
The debate was accompanied
by sharp criticism of the Senate
for not having acted earlier.
The critical parliamentary situa-
ton threatening the very existence
of selective service is caused by the
fact the amended measure can be
brought up in the Senate only by
unanimous consent.
Many Object
The Senate is considering strike
control legislation which cannot
be laid aside if a single member
objects, Mccormack and Spark
man explained. A number of Sen
ators are known to be opposed to
the draft extender.
Even as the House voted. re-
ports reached capitol hill that
President Truman is ready to is
sue an executive order preserving
the machinery Of %selective service.
Presumably in the hope that some
compromise reinstating the draft
NAV be worked out eventually.
While the President has this au-
thority under his war powers, Sc
lective service officials pointed out,
he cannot without congressional
action order the continuance OF IN
.ductions or the retention Of re-
employment rights guaranteed to
veterans by the draft law. THESE
die with the law.
Likewise, Army and selectlve
service officials, there is no legal
authority for the detention after
midnight Tuesday of an estimated
5000 conscientious DIRECTORS held

Flour Mills
Close Down,
Says Warning
Lack Of Wheat Already
Curtailing Production
In Most Plants
SUPPLY HIT HERE
Estimate Bread
Here Is Per Cent Un-
der Normal Conditions

WiImington's three wholesale
bakeries have cut their deliver
les of bread, some as much as
80 per cent, due to the shortage
of flour, officials of the COM
panies said last night.
Heavier cuts are expected
within the next two months,
with June being described as
the "most critical month of
this years flour shortage"
John Fox, production head for
Fox Royal Bakeries, said that
his company has been cut emily
rs per cent in its flour allot-
ment, but that heavier cuts are
expected soon.
He said that the reason his
supply has not been cut more
is that during the war years,
his company manufactured
bread for the Army in large
quantities.
A. II. Rucker, manager OF the
National Biscuit =&s6enaps ay
here said his company has ex-
perienced a heavy cut In pro-
duction of bread, but hesitated
to estimate exact percentages.
He said however that it prob
ably will run as high as 80 per
cent. He said that all retail
outlet stores served by NBC
have been cut, varying with
their previous orders.
Officials of American Baker
les said their flour allotments
have been cut, and they have
also experienced a rs per cent
reduction In production which
is naturally reflected in their
supplies to retail outlet stores.
