The restriction was suggested
by VA Administrator Gen. Omar
N. Bradley as q temporary expe-
dent to relieve overcrowding. The
go, 000-patient load is now more
than two-thirds non-service con-
nected.
Bradley was reported also to
have questioned the whole policy
of hospitals for veterans without
service-connected ailments. Some
of his top advisers have urged
that present policies, developed
over two decades, be altered dras-
tically.
Chairman John Rankin. D., Miss.
Of the House committee on world
war veterans legislation, said the
issue was being agitated by legis.
lators who hoped to sabotage VAS
hospital building program. He sale
he sees no reason for change.
Affect of his directive is to keer
the hospital doors wide open tt
virtually all veterans, since the
so-called pauper's oath, required
of non-service connected cases
has become, according to VA, {
fiction. By law VA cannot go be
hind the veterans statement of in

CM-AUT0 WORKERS
TO CONTINUE TALKS

The promotion clause, along
with demand for a 80 per cent
wage increase, was one of the is.
sues submitted by the union to
GIN workers on a strike ballot in
mid-November. Since then, the
union said it would negotiate
with GIN on the basis of a 17.4 per
cent raise.
Neither side made statement
today, though union spokesman
explained its position on the
promotion clause to reporters.
He said the union had demanded
that promotions be made on the
basis of seniority. The company
contended they should be made on
a straight merit system.
IF seniority puts man into
line for promotion and he is able
to handle the job, he should have
it," the union spokesman said.
Dewey said negotiations would
be continued tomorrow under his
guidance.
With JAW agreements with Ford
Motor company and Chrysler cor
poration reached and talks with
General Motors again under way,

FORD 0PA PLANS

Mr.. Truman was asked whether
he planned any speedier action
to break the deadlock in the steel
and General Motors controversies
He said the government has been
taking all the action it possibly
could, and as fast as 1t could.
Settlement of the steel strike now
apparently hinges on the question
of increased price ceilings demand
ed by the industry.
The U. S. Steel corporation, said
"greatly in excess" of $6.25 a ton
Wednesday that a price increase
would be necessary before it could
grant the 10 IL cents an hour wage
increase proposed by Mr.. Truman.

SPEAKERS NAMED
BY BAPTIST GROUP

Wilmington Baptist association
will meet for a monthly session
Monday morning at 10 o'clock in
the First Baptist church with an
address from L. I. Morgan, Ra-
leigh, secretary of the State Bap-
fist Sunday school board, and an
associate, the Rev. C. Woodrow
Billiard, Wilmingtonian, now
residing in Raleigh.
The speakers will be here in the
interest of the forthc coming Sunday
school enlargement m g n
scheduled for Baptist churches the
week of March %.
According to E. c. Chamblee,
associational missionary, it is the
practice of Baptists to conduct a
religious census in each church
community; to tabulate that in
formation discovered and leave it
in the hands of local workers; to
study some approved Sunday
school book; all under the guild
ance of a specially trained volun-
tary Sunday school worker.
Such action will be taken, he ex-
planned, during the first week Of
March, in approximately IS
churches in the association, with
all Wilmington Baptist churches
participating.
Wilmington religious census
will be conducted by all Protestant
churches in cooperation with the
Baptist movement. The city-w1de
census will be conducted SUNDAY
afternoon, March 3. The city will
be divided into zones and each
participating church will be as.
sianed a certain territory.

alike. Instead of building up morale

Senator Hatch D-NM) said it
seemed that those who could least
afford to pay were being required
to pay. He suggested putting all
enlisted men on the free list.
In the House, Rep. Pace D-Ga.)
deplored the arrangement, contend
ing that privates and corporals are
less able to pay the expenses than
the higher-paid 1on-coms.

Hogshire's letter to Boyd reads
in part:
GAS you probably have learned,
we have no direct service in Will
mington at this time. We are serv-
ing Wilmington by truck from
Washington. With respect to the
future we are planning on resum-
ing our old service, twice a week
from Baltimore and Norfolk and
should have this service in opera
ton around June 30.
"These plans, of course, depend
on the Navy releasing our vessels
which they now have in charge,
and the securing of proper termin-
al facilities at Wilmington, the
latter Of which does not look good
at this time"
Prior to the war the N. B. and

NEW COUNCILMEN MAY
SWING FIRE ALARM
DEAL AT MEETING
CONTINUED from Page One)

He said that any speculation re-
garding the matter should be re-
served until the meeting this morn
ing.
Another important matter which
is expected to be discussed at the
meeting this morning is that of
the Economic Development COM
mlttee's recommendation that the
city provide funds for the employ
ment of an Industrial agent to
represent Wilmington in making
contact with prospective industries
for this area.
Favorable action is expected on
the Economic committees sug-
gestion that the city appropriate
funds for an industrial agent for
the remainder OF the fiscal year.
The $4,000 recommended by the
committee, however, may be cut
by the council.
Following presentat of the
Economic committees report by
three committee spokesmen-E. L.
White, R. B. Page and j. G. Thorn
ton-at the councils last regular
meeting, City Manager A. C.
Nichols, City Clerk J. R. Benson,
and City Attorney w. B. Camp
bell were instructed to scan the
budget for available funds.
Their report is due today. While
it is generally predicted that the
money can be found, if the council
is willing to reduce its probable
yearly surplus, a possibility has
been advanced that the amount
might be substantially less than
$4,000.
The second major issue facing
the city fathers selection of speci.
fications on which to base bids for
the Ill fire alarm boxes-may
evoke verbal fireworks.
A third item to be considered
is the opening of bids and award.
ing Of contract for the purchase
of a passenger car for use by
the police department.
Although not originally sche'
duled for consideration at the
special session, it is understood
that Representative of the Amer
lean Legion Post No. 10 will ap
pear before the council in an eff
fort to speed up action on a Legion
request for continuance of a city
appropriation towards an existing
veterans service center.
Donald King, post commander
and Ray Galloway, asked the
council last week to clarity its
previous action in granting the
Legion a $50 monthly ALLEGATION
towards the salary of veteran
worker in the Legion. home.
The county contributes $50 and
the Legion spends about $3.50 on
the monthly operation of the veter-
ans office, King explained.
The commander said it was his
understanding when the city board
voted a $50 monthly grant last
October that the appropriation
would continue as long as needed.
He then revealed that the Legion
had received but one check from
the city-the October ALLEGATION.
Upon a motion by Councilman
Harriss Newman, the council in.
structed the city manager to study
the situation and report back.
Incorporated into the motion was
provision that payments be sent
the Legion for the November and
December grants.
Newman suggested that possibly
an additional worker could be en-
ployed by the Red Cross which.
along with the government veter-
ans contact office here, would
eliminate the need for a Legion
center.

Wydo,s unorthodox style Of line

as we have not completed our regu-

been invited to play in d bowl game.
I wasn't at liberty to tell them
which one, but they were unani.
nlously in favor of playing.
ssNow we can, and must, forget al
about bowls for q week and concen-
trate on the Baylor game next
Saturday"
with Rice's acceptance Of the
Miami bid, the Arkansas Razor
backs automatically were given the
green light to go ahead as host
team in the Cotton Bowl on New
Year Day.
Arkansas has finished its South
west Conference schedule with only
one defeat. If Rice defeats Baylor
the Owls will become cochampions
with the RaZorbacks.
Arkansas was the only conference
eleven tc beat the Owls. and because
of this the Owls had been expected
to Withdraw any claim to the Cotton
Bowl hid in favor OF the Razorbacks.
Indications are that Georgia has
the inside track as the opponent
for Arkansas.
