ROWLAND, June 12-David Mill
er, who returned to his home nea.
here Monday from a Lumbertol
hospital where he had been since
May II, as the result OF a pisto
shot wound inflicted by a Negro
farm hand. said yesterday he
didn't know whether he'd go bach
to his wife or not.
"But il I do" he added, I'm
surely going to keep an eye OF
her."
Mrs. Mary Currin Miller, the
mother of his two children, re

She is charged with having hlree

Meanwhile, Solicitor F. E. Car

HEAVY RAINFALLS
ADD NEW BURDEN
Flooded Midwest Faces
Continued Showers; Heat
In East Over Today
Bv The Associated Press

The already flooded rivers OF
the midwest received an added
burden Thursday as heavy rains
or fast-melting snow fell in Kan
sas, Nebraska and Iowa. Con-
tinued showers were forecast for
Friday over an even larger area.
The nation experienced widely
differing weather Thursday rang
ing from snow in the Rocky Noun
tain area and western Nebraska
to unseasonably warm in the
East.
The heavy Midwestern rains
were expected to move slowly
Eastward Friday, bringing rain to
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Indiana. Showers were predicted
by the U. S. Weather bureau at
Chicago for Kansas, Nebraska and
Iowa, but the heavy rains of Thurs
day were expected to slacken.
Three-Inch Rain
Des Moines, Ia, reported three
inches of rain in the IL hours end
ed at noon Thursday with similar
heavy rains throughout the state
adding water to the swollen trib-
-utaries of the flooded Mississippi.
The Weather bureau also reported
new rises in streams throughout
Northwestern Missouri, Northeast
ern Kansas and Southe astern Ne
braska.
Some snow continued to fall in
the Rocky Mountain area, includ-
ing Cheyenne, Wyo., but had
ceased in Western Nebraska.
Temperatures went to freezing or
slightly below Thursday in much
of the snow area with the Midwest
experiencing unseasonably cool
weather.
The heavy snow in the Western
Nebraska wheat-producing area
pressed stalks to the ground.
No Rise Forecast
Mercury readings in the Middle
West were not expected to rise to
any extent until Saturday, the
Weather bureau said.
The Eastern part of the country
had continued arm weather
Thursday but cooler air entering
New England was expected to cool
things off Friday and Saturday.
Rain was general over much OF
the Southeastern coast Thursday
with heavy amounts in Georgia.
Predictions, however. were for
clearing in much of that area.

Leaders Of five CIO maritime un-

a nationwide shipping tie-up'' be-
cause, they charged, ship operators
on both coasts we're using "stall-
ing and lockout" tactics to fore
stall contract demands of 200, 600
marine workers.
The threat to take suitable
steps, il an existing contract be-
tween the Pacific American Ship
owners association and the Ma
rine Cooks and Stewards union was

lurday was voiced by the unions
policy committee at a news confer

Curran, president of the Nation

employers decision to cancel or
terminate the contract constituted
a lockout (which could and posi-

and Warehousemen's union, said
all the unions were "agreed II

Sugar Buyers

Frantic Purchasing Rushes
Reported In Many Ps~sa
OF Nation THU ~
BY THE ASSOCIATED

Inc end OF government 90
on consumer purchases Oh gar
set off frantic buying rushes in
some parts Of the nation yester-
day, the first day of a ration-free
sales since April, 1912, but in
other sections buying was norm
al.
Generally, supplies were ade-
quate to meet ever the inflated
demands in those cities where
housewives crowded stores to buy
sugar In amounts which ranged as
his as the 300 pounds requested
by one person in a raid on shops at
Boise, Idaho.
Some stores were limiting sales
to customers because wholesalers
were experiencing trouble in MAX
ing immediate deliveries to re-
place supplies, although ware
houses we're said to be '1oaded'
and adequate to meet any normal
demand.
Fear was expressed, however,
by some wholesalers that a con-
tinuation of heavy buying in those
areas where rushes were report
ed might result in shortages.
New York Normal
Sales logged along about norm
ally in New York City, Washington.
D. c., Columbus, Ohio, and At
lanta, where checks Of stores
showed that while some retailers
had sold "a little more than usual"
others experienced no unusual de-
mand.
The comment Of one indepan-
dent retailer at Atlanta seemed 70
be typical of the areas where sales
kept at normal levels. He quoted
one customer as saying:
IF I can get it any time I want
it, I don't want any now"
At Austin, Tex, a flash-buying
spree started shortly after mid
night, when controls we're lifted,
at one all-night store, and stocks
we're exhausted at other stores in
Austinand San Antonio.
Dealers at Wichita Falls, Tex,
said wholesale and retail supplies
were exhausted and that it would
require from two to three weeks
to stabilize the market.

On CoevoI Life
BY VICTORIo A. VELASCO

Here is a bunch of potential
traitors to the country that shelters
and feeds them. Here is group
of potential saboteurs that would
endanger the very safety of the
society which protects them. Here
is a gang of double-faced, unprin-
cipIed sons of - that would
sell their own mothers to insure
butter on their bread.
1t is cheap, base, and unthink-
able: to sacrifice principle in order
to keep the roof over our head and
the bread to fill our stomach; to
betray our friends in order to in
sure our own security; to bow be-
fore the invaders, whether we be-
lieve in their creed or not, in order
to avoid personal suffering.
This is not the type of men Of
whom posterity will feel proud. This
is not the type of men to whom flu
ture generations will owe a debt
of eternal gratitude. This is not the
type of men who will bring honor
to the mother that gave them birth.
These are the men that would
cause eternal confusion in world
society; who would sell the hea-
ven above their heads to be sure
of the ground on which they stand;
who would not recognize the de-
cency of friendship and brother
hood if they interferred with their
personal security and personal ag-
grandizement. These are the
Judases of the twentieth century.
