forcement work. The course was
conducted by representatives OF
the Federal Bureau of 1nvesti-

"The Wilmington police pay
more attention to cases in court
than many other places in the
state" Judge Carr said. "The
officers handle themselves in a
splendid way and are to be con-
graduated" he continued. The
Judge urged more cooperation be-
tween law enforcement agencies
and suggested meetings between
the various groups to eliminate
any friction that might exist.
Police Chief Hubert Hayes pre-

attended by representatives of
the city and county government
and officers of the sheriff's de-
partment, county ABC board,

Nine Ballots Taken

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 31-B
United Nations 57-member
Political committee approved late
today a United States plan for
U. N. Korean commission which
would facilitate and expedite"
consideration of the question Of
Korea's independence.
Russia and the Slav bloc de-
clined to vote on the commission
plan and gave notice they would
not serve on it unless truly
elected" representatives of the
Korean people took part in dis
cussing the problem here in the
Assembly.
The Political committee voted
Al to 0 to create the commission.
The committee then continued
debate on who would serve on
the commission and what it's pre-
else duties would be.
The first task Of the commits
sion-if finally approved by the
Assembly-would be to supervise
the election in Korea of repre-
sentatives of the Korean people
who would discuss the question
of Korean independence with the
U. N.
Nine ballots we're taken quick
ly this afternoon, climaxing two
dayse of debate on what started
out to be a technical question
but which wound up as the heart
of the problem itself. The situa-
ton, in brief, was this:
Russia and the Slav bloc con-
tended that the Assembly could
not discuss the Korean question,
put up by the United States, un-
til truly elected" representa-
tives of the Korean people were
here to take part. Russia SUBJ
mitted a resolution to invite those
representatives here.
The United States commended
that the U. N. should send 8
temporary commission to Kores
to supervise the selection of these
representatives. The U. S. toss
ed in an amendment to the Rus
sian resolution embodying its de-
mand for a commission.

pressed surprise at the jury's

PRICE CONTROLS
ON SUGAR TO END

At Midnight; No

WASHINGTON, Oct. 80 -
Price controls 60 off sugar at

eminent officials said today
that any grocer would be
"gouging" if he hikes his price
to the housewife.
They emphasized that there is
absolutely no excuse" for a
price increase in the foresee-
able future.
This assurance was given
consumers after J. Frank
Grimes, president of the indie
pendent Grocers Alliance, pre-
dicted in Chicago that de-con-
troll would be followed by a
temporary price increase OF
three to five cents a pound
which would raise the price Of
q five-pound sack to between 68
and rs cents.
Grimes indicated that Hoard
Ing" would leave grocers no al
tentative but to increase prices
for a 30-day period. He said
there was no sugar shortage
and that such an increase was
unwarranted. He added, how
ever, that if "speculators enter
the sugar Market" the price
would jump 10 cents a pound
and stay there"
Agriculture department Off
Gals, who administered the dy-
ing sugar controls, decided
against issuing a formal vale
dlctory de-bunking such reports
and rumors of sugar scarcities
and price increases.

you are doomed to slow TO-

The only thing left for the
girl genius is to pluck off the
brightest boy in school (horri-
bic thought) who may provide a
battle of wits for her and
she can go on for the rest of her

les and higher mathematics

Never let him think you are

This will help build his ego (even
