vice the Greeks have undertaken
this action" Gromyko said. "But
what have the Greeks and those
who inspire them to do with logic
and common sense? They look at
the discussion of the Greek ques-
ton in the security council as
some kind Of sport. The Greeks
are racing with the Americans and
the Americans are racing with
the Greeks in forming accusations

goslavia."
"All the world knows who Is
really interfering in the internal
affairs of Greece, and from what
side Greece is threatened with
real danger, the Russian said.
"The crudest interference . .
emanates at present from the Unit
ed States.

ped on in the council chamber and
Gromyko blinked into the glare as
he turned to the blunt statement
of American policy voiced Tues
day by deputy American Delegate
Herschel Johnson.
"The statements of the United
States representative on the ques
ton of the veto," Gromyko said,
-. in their crudeness -. can
compete only with corresponding
statements by representatives Of
the Greek government.
Equally unfounded is the state
ment of the United States repre-
sentative that the Soviet Union
-. defends aggression.
I reject this statement as an
outburst intended to influence peo-
pie who are still so naive that they
are not loathe to believe such abb
surd assertions"
Gromyko emphatically defended
Russia's 18th use of the veto to
kill the original American plan for
a ~long-range border commission
in the Balkans.
Gromyko said the only way to
go about stopping trouble in the
Balkans was to eliminate the inter-
nal situation existing in Greece"
He said he could see no change in
the present Greek situation which
would merit terming it a threat
to peace"
"Foreign interference" he said,
'is not only continuing, but it is
also strengthened. If something has
changed it is anly that, according
to press reports, American mill
tary equipment has begun to ar
rive in Greece Greek demo-
Gratis have now even mor chances

fers made in proper form-and the
Wilmington ITALIAN association, as
a theatrical organization, ceased
to exist"
The ITALIAN Hall Of today - =
city hall and theater under one
roof - originally presented
different appearance. .
Henry Jay Macmillan says that
the proscenium arch was mar
rover. The arch was "arched' in
stead Of squared.
He also relates that the curtain
which went up on the opening
night is slim in use.
The curtain is adorned with a
beautifgul scene OF a classic har-
Dor following in design and color
the French scenic wall papers
fashionable here and abroad dur
ing the first half of the 10Th cen
fury.
The first balcony adjoined the
stage boxes, and the booths went
entirely around the horseshoe.
Perhaps it might be mentioned
here again that the theater was
opened by the Thalians with the
performance Of a musical opus
entitled THE Invisible Prince, or
the Island of Tranquil Delight

ONE KILLED, MANY
INJURED AS TRAINS
COLLIDE AT PHILLY

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14.-u.p)
One man was killed and at least
"a persons were injured today
when an electric local of the
Pennsylvania Railroad collided
with an engine and tender just
outside the Both street station.
Railroad officials identified the
dead man as J. Klingeman, engi-
neer Of the local. No address was
given.
Klingeman was trapped in the
telescoped, fo%re-section of the To-
calls 'front.' car a. a~cetylene
torches were used to e~xtricate his
body.
Witnesses said the four-car, Nor.
ristown-bound train struck the en-
CINE in the rear as the later back
ed up toward the station. The train
and engine remained upright and
were not derailed.

country's often-criticized use of the
atom bomb.
He recalled that when his history
class was studying the battle Of
Gettysburg in the Civil War, the
teacher told them that any school
boys after-thoughts on military
strategy were worth more than all
the generals fore-thoughts.
The chief executive questioned
about several phases of current
world affairs, said:
l. He remains confident Of the
success of the first postwar inter-
American conference at Rio De
Janeiro. He has not yet decided
when he and his family will fly
to Brazil to attend it.
2. Estimates on the possible cost
of the Marshall plan for rebuild.
ing Europe's economy will not
|be available until various com.
mittees have finished their studies.
The estimates will not be ready
in time to be included in a special
government budget report due
within a week or 10 days. This
report is intended to clear up con-
flicting claims of savings made by
the first session of the Republican
controlled Both Congress.
3. He has no comment to make
on the British economic crisis or
on the talks scheduled here next
week on possible relaxing Of terms
of the British loan.
4. There has been a Marshall
plan going on in South America for
100 years the Monroe doctrine.
This governments policy has al
ways been one of friendliness to-
ward the Latin American repub-
lies.

MARSHALL ARRIVES

U. S. Ambassador William D. Paw
ley's private plane to Santos Du-
mont airport, outside the city.
He was accompanied by Arthur
H. Vandenberg (R., Mich.) chair
man of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons committee, and Warren Aus
tin, U. S. representative TO the
United Nations security council.
Their. three wives were with them.
Mrs. Marshall, wearing a large
orchid, was first to step off the
plane.
In his formal statement. Mar
shall said the purpose Of the con-
ference here was to help ito con
solidate the peace of the world"
"Our joint purpose is to i'm
plement the mutual pledges taken
in the act Of Chapultepec, giving
them treaty form within tn
framework of the United Nations
charter, as an earnest and solemn
resolve that the nations OF the
Pan American system will unitedly
do their utmost to see that peace
is maintained in this hemisphere"
He said it was a great pleasure
to be back "among my old friends
in this beautiful land" He recall-
ed that he had beer in Rio eight
wears ago and during the war he
nassed through northern Brazil
aalong the corridor of Vicrory''
many times. =:
He also praised Brazil for its
expeditionary force in Europe.
''whose men fought side by sac
with the soldiers OF my country
and those of our allies"
Despite the long flight from
washington, the secretary looked
rested and tanned.
From the airport he drove I'M
mediately to the U. S. embassy to
prepare for President Dutras' re-
cention this evening.

certain point Of supposed interest,
when the Prince was suddenly
discovered in a grotto, it was the
part OF the Queen to swoon and
fall upon a green bank to the
great disrnay of her attendants.
"Those large, unrnanageable
hoop skirts were then in style,
and the Queen had on one OF
them over his trousers.
HE gracefully fell on the green
covered lounge representing the
bank, with his feet toward the
audience, and the hoop skirt flew
up high enough to see his cravat',
as one expressed it.
"And, amidst the storm that
followed, the curtain fell"
Another ridiculous incident oc-
Cured in the same play on a diff
ferent occasion.
This happened when a quite
corpulent member Of the cast,
Alva Burr by name, took the part
Of the Invisible Prince"
In the death scene he lay on his
back surrounded by his followers,
who we're singing a dirge over his
PROSTATE form.
The audience observed a strange
palpitation in the ample bosom of
the CORPSE.
The audience later discovered
that the corpse" vas singing an
abysmal bass, and keeping perfect
time with the rest of the COM

Of his day, who leased Whining

possible the opening of Thaljar
Hall in the winter Of 1859.
But at that time the ITALIAN

Burr in his chronicles of early

had grown older and we're more
averse to appearing upon the

Colonel Burr continues:
"Under all these circumstances,
and seeing no way to extricate
themselves from pressing liabili-
ties, the proposition was made tc
the authorities of the town that

offerings consisted Of leaf grades
Prices for leaf were off from 81
cents to $3.50 per hundred pounds
from Wednesday and the lowe:
qualities were averaging only S
to So owe support level.
Buyers were reported making nj
bids on some baskets of poores
grades of nondescript at a few O
the markets. Receipts Of a flue

have increased considerably in the
past few days.
Generally quality continued tc
get poorer as more common ano

Most sales were made up Of com
mon to good leaf, nondescript, and

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. IA. Up,
- Suggestions for increasing ex.
ports of American flue-cured to.
bacco were presented in a report
of the European tobacco situation
given by president ]. B. Hutson OIL
Tobacco Associates, Inc, today al
a meeting of the associates board
Of directors.
Hutson has just returned from
a survey of the United Kingdom,
Germany, France, the Neither
lands, Belgium and Switzerland.
The conclusions he presented to
the board:
There appears to be a chance tc
move betweenn 20, 600, 900 and IS,
600, 900 pounds of flue-cured to.
bacco in the areas in Germany
occupied by the American ano
British. Further legislative au'
thorization may be necessary be-
fore this can be done.
: There is a possibility Of NOV
ing between Is, 900, 900 and 20, 600,
900 pounds into Japan and Korea,
This would require the cooperation
of the military authorities and pos
sibly legislation.
The restoration Of consumption
to the wartime level is a possibility
in the United Kingdom. This would
require the cooperation of the
British government in restoring
prices to wartime levels and the
elimination of the preferential i'm
port duty rate granted to the Brit
ish dominions.
Only small quantities Of tobac-
co are being exported to Central
and South America. Increased in
dustrial developments r taking
place in those countries and the op-
portunities for moving in larger
quantities of American tobacco
should be explored fully.
There undoubtedly will be mark
ed agricultural and industrial de
velopments in Asia and Africa
during the next few years. The
possibilities of exporting a larger
volume of tobacco products te
these countries should be explored
Hutson told the board that pres
ent indications are that approx
mately LOO, 000, 900 pounds of flue'
cured tobacco will be used in the
world during the current year. O.
this total, approximately 700, 600,
900 pounds will be used by Amerl
can manufacturers and approx
mately 400, O00, 900 by foreign manu-
