Milk Still Free

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o.-Pe
Milk and its by-products won an
other parole from price ceilings
Friday but the Decontrol board
warned it will keep a close watch
on future price trends of butter
and cheese.
After three days of discussion
the powerful new independent
board announced briefly that ii
would not return dairy products
to price control at this time"
Chairman Roy L. Thompson said
evidence before the three-member
panel indicates that dairy prices
are approaching a critical point
but failed to provide sufficient
grounds for action by the board at
this time"
The decision was another set
back for OPA Administrator Paul
Porter who had told the board that
immediate recontrol of all dairy
products "is essential to the stabili-
cation program"

lantic City can have its "Miss
America" contest. We have one
which, though perhaps not quite SC
interesting to look at, has promise
of becoming far more famous.
Considering that we started this
contest on Friday, September ID,
a very poor day to start anything
except a jinx on ones enemies, we
are indeed amazed and gratified
at the way the contest is growing.
It all began when we nominated
Mrs. Jane Best, of Columbus coun-
ty, the champion grandmother Of
Southeastern North Carolina by
virtue of her SO grandchildren.
Then, l this past Thursday
paper, we disclosed that Mrs. Lee
norah Long, also of Columbus coun-
ty, had outdone Mrs. Best with the
staggering total of "a grandchil-
dren.
Well, Mrs. Long still has a firm
hold on the grandchild honors,
but it seems that we must now en-
large the contest to include the
great : grandchild, great great
grand-child and great great-great-
grandchild fields.

day:

The Star-News office was invad-

two journalism classes of New
Hanover High School. We came in
search of more knowledge about
the organization and work behind
a commercial newspaper.
We were conducted first into the
teletype room where Associated
Press and United Press stories
were coming in over the machines.
Mr.. Roy Cook. sports editor of the
Star, explained how the stories are
separated, arranged in proper or
der, and headed. After walking UP
a long flight of stairs, we entered
the composing room, containing
linotype and mat rolling machines.
There the machine operators were
setting type and arranging it in
forms from which mats are made.
Next came the press DON where
sterotyped plates, weighing about
48 pounds When completed, were
made and trimmed to fit the Rotary
press. This action completed, the
plates were locked on press cylin-
ders and the press was started. The
resulting roar was similar to that
of a train, causing most of the stu
dents to thrust a finger in each
ear. We we're spellbound. when we
saw paper off a huge roll entering
one end of the press and finished
newspapers appearing in a stack
at the other. After everyone was
promptly supplied with a souvenir

The President told a startled,

morning that he had fired Wallace
because his foreign policy views
threatened to "jeopardize our
position in relation to other coun-
tries"
Wallace calmly accepted his
fate throughout the day, but Fri
day night, in a five-minute broad
cast, he snapped back at the adj
ministration's international poll
cies and said:
feel that our present foreign
policy does not recognize the basic
realities which led to two world
wars and which now threatens an
other war-this time an atomic
war;"
But he added that he didn't want
to say anything in his radio talk,
which might "abuse the freedom
granted me by the President" to
upset the work of Byrnes and his
associates in Paris.

BALDHEAD MAKES

Senator Bailey Urges Head
quarters Commission
To Accept Island

United States Senator Josiah w.
Bailey has urged the United Ma
tons to consider locating its head
quarters permanently on Baldhead
Island near Southport, the Star
learned last night.
The veteran Tar Heel solon sug-
gested Baldhead as a United Ma
tons site in a recent letter to Sir
Angus Fletcher, chairman of the
UN's Headquarters commission.
''This island is in a wonderful
climatic zone, midway between the
north and the SOUTH" Sen. Bailey
declared in his letter. ut en-
braces some $4,000 acres and,
while it has no buildings at the
present time it would give all the
foundation for whatever the United
Nations could DESIRE"
Baldhead's bid for the UN site,
supplemented by an invitation dis
patched to the commission by a
group of Southport residents, is one
of dozens sent in by localities
spaced all over the country since
continued protests by residents OF
the New ork-Connecticut area
which the Headquarters commits
sion first selected gave some
promise that a new site might be
chosen.
The island is owned by Frank
o. Sheriff., Charlotte restaurant
man, who was not available for a
