GROUP DISCUSSES
PROPOSED DECREE
Solicitation Ordinance May
Be Presented To Coun-
ell Al Next Meet

The possibility that the ordin-
ance governing solicitation in VIII
mington may be placed before the
city council at the next session was
voiced yesterday afternoon by City
Manager J. r. Benson following a
conference in the city hall with
representatives of the Merchants
Association and the Chamber OF
Commerce.
Another subject figuring in the
discussion at the conference was
the matter of off-street parking
areas for the city. This means of
solving the parking situation with
ir the city was offered by the
City Planning board at. a session
early in the week.
The solicitation ordinance has
been under consideration for some
time and a proposed set of rules
and regulations have been drawn
for several weeks. A final decis-
ion on the matter, however was
postponed pending a discussion OF
the matter with the Merchants
Association. 4

COLD SPELL - Before you

of the Cape Fear River.
Thanks to Mr.. D. j. Black.

bring you a rare picture OF the
famous river while it was frozen
over.
Although age has taken its toll
of the photograph we were de-
lighted to receive it as there seems
to be some doubt in the minds OF
many as to whether the Cape Fear
ever froze completely over.
SHIPS STRANDED - Mr.. Black
relates that his father "a the

the picture. And if you look care
fully you will see that a man is
standing upon the ice.
The photograph was made at
Tar Heel Landing and according
to Mr.. Black the year was most
probably 1905. Many local resi-
dents will be able to check on that
Gate. And rest assured, if it is
not correct we will be hearing
about it in the very near future

Arabs Get Plan

LONDON, Feb. Z. Up The
British government delivered its
compromise plan for Palestine
to Arab leaders tonight and Emile
Ghoury, a Palestine Arab repre-
sentative, said that if the proposal
resulted in the entry of one more
Jew into Palestine cit will mean
war"
The compromise plan apparently
was not delivered to Jewish rep
resentatives here tonight.
Jamal Husseini, leader of the
Palestine Arab delegation, said he
and his colleagues had decided not
to look at the proposal until to-
morrow morning because I'm
sure it would ruin our nights
rest"
Husseini's statement indicated
he took some stock in earlier re
ports from informed Whitehall
sources that the new formula call
ed for the immediate movement
of 100. 900 Jews from Europe's dis
placed persons camps into q Jew

Cabinet Member

An invitation to address the an
nual banquet of the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce was ex-
tended to Secretary of the Interior
Julius A. Krug yesterday by John
H. Farrell, city industrial agent,
the Star was informed last night.
Joining in the invitation to the
Interior Secretary were William
B. Umstead, junior senator from
North Carolina, and Representa-
tive J. Bayard Clark.
Although no formal acceptance
of the invitation was made by
Krug, he indicated his interest and
requested that he be allowed to
refrain from making a definite
commitment for a short time. He
said he was beginning a three
weeks tour of the western states
very shortly and would like to de-
fer a decision on the matter until
after his return to the nation S
capital.
1t was suggested to Krug that
he address the group on the in
dustrial development of the south
east.
No definite date for the holding
of the dinner has been set by the

international security is worked

Gus issues" involved.
Furthermore, Marshall virtually
declared a great counter-cam-
paign of truth against Russian
propaganda. He did not actually
identify the propaganda as Rus
sian, but other state department
leaders have been assailing Soviet
propaganda.
Backing up the international
broadcasting program of Assistant
Secretary of State William Benton,
Marshall said that somehow the
United States has to build up a
credit for truth and accuracy IN
the world and that truth has TO
be made to prevail against what
he called the riot of propaganda.
Marshall, who took office Jan.
n, held a news conference in the
state departments largest confer
ence room. At times he lapsed INTO
military lingo as when he opened
his discussion by explaining that
he did not intend to answer ques-
tons about the European theater.
The room, a product of 18th cen
fury overdecoration, had gold
trimmings, marble panels tan
walls, and four bronze angels bear
ing lights, two of which thanked
Marshall.
The conference was unprec-
edented in the memory OF vet
eran state department reporters ir
that Marshall talked about virtual
" every outstanding diplomatic
topic in the world. Sometimes ne
spoke for direct quotation, some
times for indirect attributio1, anc
sometimes off the record.
He made clear that he intends
