House 10 Launch Probe
OF Trade Policy March "A
By the Associated Press

Members of the House Ways and
Means Committee said yesterday the
committee has voted 13 to 8 to
open hearings March "a on the
Truman administration foreign
trade policy.
They said it was a straight party
vote. The eight Democrats protested
in vain that such an inquiry would
embarrass the American delegation
at next months 18-nation trade
conference in Geneva.
A number of Republicans in both
House and Senate have complained
that the United States, in its re-
ciprocal trade policy, gives too many
favors to foreign traders and gets
too few concessions in return.

Two Coast Fugitives Held
In 1heffs al Fairfax

Two men who Fairfax police say
escaped from the Los Angeles Jail
and stole an automobile in Tucson
Ariz., were held in the county jail
today on charges of breaking and
entering and grand larceny.
They are Jesse Meeks, Is, Hur-
ricane, w. Va, and Walter L. Ben
nett, 18, Flagstaff, Ariz. They were
arrested yesterday by Fairfax Police
men Charles Norfolk, Richard Wahl
and P. S. Dove at the Fairfax traffic
circle. The police said Meeks and
Bennett were siphoning gasoline
from an automobile. The car they
were using, which bore Missouri
license plates, was loaded with stolen
merchandise from nearby market,
police said.
Police said a check determined
that the Missouri license plates be-
long to a resident of Council Bluffs
and had been stolen. The car carry
ing the tags was stolen from Tucson,

time ago by Northampton grand
jury which failed to find a true bill
against them. Gov. r. Gregg Cherry
termed the action a miscarriage
OF justice" and a reflection on the
State of North Carolina"
Judge Frizzelle subsequently was
commissioned by the Governor to
sit as committing magistrate. The
Governor had no comment on the
outcome of the hearing.
Freed in yesterdays action were
Robert Vann, pickle factory worker;
Russell Bryant, filing station oper-
ator; Linwood and Gilbert Bryant
brothers, carpenters; Glenn Collier
Barber and w. G. Cooper, lunch
stand operator.
The jailer's arrest followed his
own testimony that there had been
no force or threats against him
when Bush, who had been booked
on charge of attempted assault
with intent to commit rape, was
taken from his custody.
Jailer Edwards was charged with
conspiracy in breaking and enter
ing Jail and with aiding and abet-
ting in the breaking and entering:
Confession Admitted.
Cunningham is charged with con-
spiracy to break and enter a Jail
and with breaking and entering a
Jail with intent to kill or injure
Bush, the same counts on which
the other six men were originally
charged. Each OF the two counts
carries maximum Imprisonment
Of Is years.
Judge Frizzelle today admitted
into evidence, over defense objec-
tions, a purported confession which
FBI Agent P. B. Beacham of Char
lotte said was made by Cunningham
to several FBI agents. However, the
statement was not admitted against
the six other accused men.
In brief address to the six men
who were freed, Judge Frizelle said !:
This court is passing only on prob
able cause. 1t is perfectly apparent
- that the only reason you are
allowed to go free Is because Of the
incompetence Of MIR. Cunningham s
confession as it concerns you"
In advising Edwards of the bench
warrant against him, Judge Frizzelle
said the jailer had done nothing to
prevent the masked men from TAX
ing the prisoner.

Wallace Has Hopes

The United States which once es-
capped having Henry Wallace for presi-
dent by the narrowest of margins now
faces the probability that he will be a
candidate for the highest office in the
nations gift next year.
California followers are hard at work
to get a Wallace-for-President delega-
ton at the national democratic conven-
ton which will not bulge from their
pcsl1lon under any pressure when the
ballotlng for candidates starts-or
finishes.
Even. now an "open letter" is being
circulated with the object of obtaining
a hundred thousand signers, to be pre-
scented to Mr.. Wallace on his birthday
In October. Such backing is expected
TO give impetus to the boom, particular
ly If enough newspapers publicize the
document and a great demonstration
is held when the letter is placed in his
hands.
Whether or not Mr.. Wallace will at
tempt to enter the presidential race as
candidate of a third party is not clear.
But knowing his ambition to inhabit the
White House there is little reason to
doubt that he would if his California
cohorts get the movement started.
Whether he should be the demo-
cratic candidate (Which heaven forbld)
or should seek the office as an indie
pendent he could not win. The only Ell
feet of a Wallace campaign would be to
draw off the radical vote in the demo-
cratic party ard assure victory to the
republicans.
In these circumstances it is not to be
questioned that the strange purge Woule
be a victory for the democratic party
whether it elected the next president
or not. The sooner the radicals are ou'
the better for the party.

three programs according to his

New Fireb0at Needed

The County Grand Jury is to be
commended for turning the spotlight on
the city fire boat. That the Council
should have delayed its replacement
with a modern, powerful boat so long
is inexcusable.
Any further delay cannot be con-
doned. Wilmington's waterfront is ex-
posed to destruction by fire. With its
warehouses and wholesale establish
ments on the river side of Front street,
a blaze starting in any building con-
tanning inflammable materials, the only
hope of saving millions of dollars worth
Of property rests upon the fire depart
ment which could attack the flames
from one side only, and with Water
street frequently all but clogged with
freight cars, trucks and automobiles
even its attack might be minifnized.
The need is for a fire boat capable
of taking off and sending streams of
water into a burning structure at the
drop Of a hat, as you might say, mean
ing all but instanteously. AS long as
such fire service from the river is not
available Wilmington is a potential
holocaust victim.
Nor is it only the warehouses and
wholesale businesses that are ieopardiz-
ed. Wilmington's oil terminals are at
the mercy Of possible fire. as are the
tankers that deliver oil at their docks.
A break in an oil line through which
quantities Of gasoline might flow into
the river and be ignited by a vagrant
spark could u a major catastrophe.
A new fire boat, therefore, would need
not only to be fast and have tremen-
dous pumping power, but be supplied
with a large stock of foamite to o,1ell
the flames before they spread to water
front buildings.
There have been expeditions made
under Council direction to purchase q
fire boat, but none has made it's an
pearance in the Cape Fear. So much
time has peer wasted the city could
have had n built, if that is the onlv
way, and by diligently searching the
market have had it equipped with neces-
sary fire-fighting tools, by now.
1t is to be hoped the Grand Jury's
report will spur the City Council to
prompt action on this vital matter.

One or Two Agencies?

Among major problems awaiting
join. action by the City Council and
1.-THE Board of County Commissioners is
whether the Associated Charities
should be continued in it's present role
or be merged with the Welfare De-
partment.
The question is fairly long-lived. In
July of 1916 the State Board of Public
Welfare prepared a Study of the AS
ISOLATED Charities of Wilmington and
It's Relationship to other Agencies of
the City and County,"
1t is a comprehensive report which
goes into the situation here with ex-
erplary thoroughness. Some of it's
findings are pertinent to the present
discussion. For example, it notes that
its investigation revealed that "the
records indicated al cases are legally
the responsibility of the Department of
Public Welfare" Citing the fact that
the Associated Charities administers
general relief, the report adds: Gen
eral relief is not administered in this
manner in any other county" (of North
Carolina).
Referring to the General Statutes
of North Carolina (108-14) the report
quotes this provision for a Public Wei
fare agency: ITO have the care and
supervision of INDECENT persons in the
county and to administer funds provid-
ed by the county commissioners for
such purposes" Further, the report de-
clares: 'The Community Chest should
not assume the responsibility of sup
%plementing tax funds used for a gov
ernmental function. ="
The conclusion is that "the most &C
ceptable solution is one in which the
Associated Charities and the County
Department of Public Welfare would
Jointly assume the responsibility for
working out a plan through which the
relief functions of the Associated
Charities, including the investigation
and certification of persons in need and
eligible for medical care and hospitaliza-
ton at the expense of the county, could
be transferred to the County Depart
ment of Public Welfare -. Under this
plan members of the Associated Chari-
ties staff might be added to the public
welfare staff. -"
The report is all for consolidation of
the two agencies, in conformity with
the policy in general use throughout the
state. At the same time it is not to
be forgotten that the Associated Chari-
ties IN its long exictence has perform
ed valuable service to the indigents and
needy individuals and families in New
hanover county. 1t is this fact that
poses the sharpest question for the
Council and Board of Commissioners
to lind the right answer.
In such cases it is usually wise to let
the public decide.

WASHINGTON - Norman Ar
mour, new Assistant Secretary of
State and very fresh on the job,
got thrown to the lions his first
week in Washington by having to
take Secretary Marshall's weekly
press conference. He did his best
by saying in the softest of voices
and g%entlest of manners that he
had no information on this ques-
ton, there was nothing new on
that, and so-and-so was not in his

'How did you interpret that last

If the new tripartite commission
of congressman, administrators
and businessmen to investigate
government bureaucracy spends
only one day on each unit, it will
take nearly seven years to COM
plete the job. The Investigation
was called for by a resolution in
troduced by Sen. Henry Cabot
Lodge, Jr., of Massachusetts, and
Congressman Clarence Brown of
Ohio. The idea was to see if more
simplicity and efficiency could be
introduced. Comptroller General
Lindsay c. Warren says the in
vestigation will be a waste of time
and effort. but nobody paid him
any attention.
AS Sen. George Aiken of Ver-
mont points out, there r now
1870 principal offices on the feder-
al government organization chart.
There are 10 bureaus, 83 sections,
1913 services, l19 branches. $40 Of
fees and 628 divisions. AS a first
step to standardize their oper-
atoms, Senator Aiken suggests
that they be renamed. He would
put at the top level only 10 de-

net officers. Next in rank would
