what the effects would be on world
pace - and the 1948 election.
Services Protest
Army and Navy officials have
protested that a cut Of 81. $50, 000,-
600 in their funds, as repeatedly
planned, would endanger national
security. Mr.. Truman asked SILL
200.0 600, 900 for the two services.
The president, at his news con-
ference, declined to comment on
the controversy, noting that Con-
~gressional action still is incom-
plete. In any case, the Congress
sional ceiling is not binding on the
Congressman when they vote ap-
preparations.
A 49, 00, 900, 900 cut would clear
the way for the COP objective of
a 20 per cent reduction in individ-
ual income taxes. However, Sem
ate Republicans are standing for
a more moderate slash of 81, $780,
600, 900 that would protect Army
and Navy funds.
This House-Senate battle may
end in a 5000, 900, 900 compromise
under which Senator Taft (R.-Orio)
contends a 20 per cent tax cut
still will be possible.
The Democratic leader, former
speaker Rayburn Of Texas, told the
House the Sc, 600, 900, 900 slash would
take large funds from the Army
and Navy and help push reluctant
millions Of people abroad Unto
the arms of Communism"
He told the Republicans they
might "rue this day" in the Presi-
Dental campaign of 1913.
If Army and Navy r cut, and
food held from starving people
abroad, he said, Secretary of State
Marshall, soon to leave for the
Moscow meeting Of foreign min
listers, would fly there with a
crippled wing"
Rep. Engel (R.-Mich.), chairman
OF the Army Appropriations sub
committee declared that if General
Eisenhower and Admiral Nimitz
cannot run the Army and Navy
efficiently on less money they
ought to step aside and give
someone else a chance"
'Unmoved by Democratic cries
Of gag" and "Czarist rule" the
Republicans won their first victory
for a SIS, 900, 00O, 900 slash early in
the Gay when they forced through,
on a 229 to 173 vote, a ban on the
presentation of any amendments
from the floor. This vote followed
party lines, with Rep. Tom Murray
3D. TENN the only member to
cross over. He voted with the Re-
publicans.
Chairman Taber tR.-N.Y.) OF
the 102-member House-Senate Bud
get committee that recommended
the $4,000, 900, 900 cut told the
House:
There must be next year an
elimination of the inefficiency and
the waste that wartime habits have
incluated in the Army and Navy;
there must be an elimination of I'M
necessary activities. x X
cat the same time it is absolutely
necessary that we do not impair
national defense or real obliga-
tons which are ours in connection
with the foreign picture but we
must expect from the Army and
the State department an intelligent
proposal for the rehabilitation of

according to J. M. Jenkins, gr.,
horticulturist in charge.
A barn and dwelling have al
ready been erected on the re-
search farm, which is a branch
of the North Carolina Agricultural .
Experiment station at Raleigh:
The branch began operating last
September. The 50-acre tract lies
four and one-half miles from the.
Wilmington city limits and was
leased from Hugh Oosterwyk.
The new building will include
two offices, two laboratory rooms
and a utility room, in addition to =.
toilet facilities, Mr.. jenkins said.
Constructed of einder block. the
structure will be one story high.
and 35 by 40 feet in dimensions
Experin- entation and research
with vegetables and Towering
bulbs will be conducted IN an ex-.
panding scale. The results viii
be made available to growers In
this area. -.
Mr.. jenkins announced the emsO
ployment of Paul Smit, OF Fender
county, q World War II veteran,
as a elerk-technician to assist with
the research work. Mr. smith will
live on the farm.
"Within one year we expect 10
have a number Of Iaborers at work
on the farm, and ultimately we
expect to have As or so acres under
cultivation" he said.

rode in a police a with another
officer each night except for one
night, July 5.
And on that night, he was on a
beat five blocks away from the
Anchor store. How could Gurley
have seen him except by using a
telescope"
"But, gentlemen" he said sar.
castically, maybe he (Gurley)
looked through five flocks of build
ings and saw mimi"
He then launched into that part
Of the statutes dealing with invol-
untary statements wrung from pri-
soners by officers, and declared
that this was such a csc which
that 1aW-books condemns.
Brown strutted before the u
jurors, sometimes raising his voice
SO that even the last person on the
back row in the packed gallery
could hear him distinctly. The next
moment he was talking SO low
that even persons 10 feet away had
difficulty understanding what he
was saying.
He declared that ony one might
have made the admissions which
Grissett allegedly made to the Of
ficers if he had been threatened
with putting his wife in Jail"
This man up to this time"
Brown declared, standing backed
up against a wooden table, had
a good reputation" His fingers
thumped the wooden table.
"Now gentlemen" he said, 81
have only a few more words to say
before l sit down. I'm SUE glad
they didn't get 100 warrants. If
they had, they would have put his
bond at $3.50, 900, 0O0."
He then said that there's an old
saying which fits Gurley: Misery
.oves company
Each side was given an hour and
a half for argument before the
jury. At 1888 p. m. James c. King
began the prosecutions presenta-
ton.
He declared that the defense had
been grabbing at straws every
since the case started ito muddle
the waters"
Brother Brown here Defense
Attorney Brown says: 81 threw up
my hands. I've gone to the end of
my rope. He won't. tell me the
truth" ..
He meant that Brown had said
previously to the trial that Grissett
wouldn't tell him Brown the
truth about the matter during con-
ferences between the prisoner and
his attorney.
King declared that he had no
patience with a man who had been
placed in a position of trust to
watch I'VE your property and
then commit what Grissett is
charged with.
He is down right meant" he de-
clared.
did you see him on the witness
stand?" he asked the jurors. did
you notice his smart answers? Is
that the kind of man you can
trust?"
He declared it was the business
of the newspapers to get the news.

They are good newspapers" de-
spite my friend, who is known in
the profession as "Objection

ted one hour and a half. The re-
mainder of the time will be con-
