'needled" treasury officials to
try to get them to slap an extra
$6,0O0,O00 tax on him.
8. A denial by Hughes that he
had offered Meyers, then re-
tired from the Army, 100000 to
try to remove New York City's
ban on 1.-THE Outlaw" a contro-
versial motion picture made by
Hughes which was banned by
several cities for it's "sexiness. r"
Shortly afterwards, in New
York, Welfare Commissioner
Benjamin Fielding told reporters
that Meyers had told him last
year of being offered 100000 by
Hughes if it could be arranged
to show the picture there in its
original version.
At the same time Mayor
William O'Dwyer, substanti-
ating Fielding, said Meyers
tried in October, 1916, to inter-
cede for the picture saying it
would "nean a lot of money"
to Meyers.
4. A Hughes assertion that II
did not make one cent out of
the war and I can prove it."
On the contrary, he said, he can
show that he lost money on
war contracts.

cause in that the chief weapon
tested at Davis is now ready for
| further development at another
location.
Once past the engineering
stage, the weapon may be given
further tests on the east coast
some time in the next year or
two, officials disclosed. If this is
true, Camp Davis might then be
re-occupied.
At present, however, the Navy
will move out, bag and baggage.
The equipment now at Camp
Davis is expected to be shipped
to testing range on the west
coast.
The Bureau of Ordnance, which
directs the Navy's research, OBJ
tained funds this year to build a
facility at Point Mugu, Calf, for
joint operation with the Bureau
of Aeronautics, but has not an
nounced the precise purpose of it.
About 20 per cent of the 1900
acre base in California will be
used for ordnance purposes.
Camp Davis, built six years
ago as an Army anti-aircraft ar
tillery training center, was trans
ferred to the Navy after the war.
Dutch Marines were trained there
before the ordnance project be-
gan in early 1916.
Missiles developed by the ap-
piled physics laboratory at Sill
yer Springs, Md, on the north
ern outskirts of Washington, were
fred up the coast of Topsail
Island to see how they would
perform under various condi-
tions.
Topsail, one of North Caro-
lina's best fishing areas, was
barred to anglers during the
Navy occupation, but presumably
will soon be reopened. Owners
of vacation places on the island
may reoccupy them soon. also.
Negotiations are under way
for the state to take over the
Navy-built highway there and
the draw bridge connecting the
island with the mainland.
The Navy's plans are to be
announced formally within a few
days, 1t. Comdr. Ray Stanwick,
of the Silver Springs unit, is to
discuss the matter tomorrow in
Capitol Hill parley with the
secretaries of the two North
Carolina congressman whose dis
tricts are concerned with Camp
Davis: Tom McGee, secretary to
Representative Graham Barden,
in whose Third district the camp
is located, and Marion Shuffler
Of Wilmington, secretary of Rep
resentative J. Bayard Clark of
the Seventh district. The secre-
taries are expected to mention
the future of the federally-own-
ed housing and of the power,
supplied by an REA cooperative.

church should be clearly de-
fined. We do not believe that
the church can take sides in the
struggle. We cannot give aid to
the organizing of labor unions;
we cannot give aid to manage
ment in any struggle against
unions: nor can we be identified
with the cooperative move
ments. To do so would be to
negate the greater missoin of
the church.
"The Kingdom of God cannot
be coerced into the narrow con-
fines of labor unions, industrial
m n 6 e m e mt or coopera-
tives. Rather must all these
patterns be brought under the
judgment of the Kingdom of
God.
Losing Freedom
We ask, furthermore, that
our people examine carefully
the frightening manner in
which we are losing our individ-
ual freedom under group pres
sure. The industrialist faces it
in his association of manufac-
turerS; The laborers faces it in
his union; and the farmer in
his cooperative.
''Such organized groups are a
part of our mechanical society,
but their dominance over the
Individual conscience must be
resisted.
''We must, by teaching and
preaching, defeat any influence
that would divide us into
groups belligerently oppos-
ing each other. We are chal
lenged to promote unity and un-
derstanding in the face of a
threat to divide us into warning
factions, and to make the good
office of the church through its
Christian leadership always
available for mediation.
In the section on the teacher
problem, the report noted that
although disavowing any pur-
pose ito engage ourselves in
partisan issues of political and
economic, nature we deplore
the discrimination in salary
scales against those engaged in
the character-building profess
sions."

On the way to the mailbox

NEWSPRINT PRICE

ers (selling newsprint at $50 per
tom today is plainly worse than
in 1889 when newSprint sold for
$50 a tom
An effort was made during in
luiry to pin Fowler down as to
whether further increases in
lewsprint prices were likely but
lie declined to be drawn cut. An
american manufacturer, G. H.
Mead of Dayton, Ohio, however,
said he felt a price increase
inevitable.
1t was reported following the
October meeting that the general
sense of most of the conferees
was that the price of newsprint
was due for a rise and initially
Sc per ton was advanced as a
probable figure.
Extreme Increase
An extreme increase of $40
per ton had been mentioned but
the best estimates of those close
to the industry here is that news
print price probably will advance
to 1913 ton about the first of the
year. Such an increase would
mean that newsprint will be SELL
ing at the highest contract price
since 1920 when the average was
SIP.
The Newsprint Association of
Canada estimates that the in
dustry will have produced a total
of 4,349,7 700 tons by the end of
1947 with approximately rs per
cent of this going to United
States publishers.

faces the universe with a sense
of mystery, wonder, and rever-
ence, and longs for response, "
"Worship is the medium where
by he enters in a relation into
the sense of a Presence"
He defined worship as the
final synthesis which gives life
it's guidance and it's goal. Per-
sonality best fulfills itself in
worship, he declared.
''True worship, which is a
means to an end and not an
end in itself, can answer the
demands Of futility," Bishop
Block said. "It reveals the tech.
nique of the good life, cultivates
the discipline of the soul, and
invites one into the presence OF
Him whom we revere as Master

 In the History of New England we have had incidents where in- stead of appealing to the National Government for relief from fine- ly defined minority ruling the great majority, leaders of the movement for a Republican form of Govern ment, have taken unto themselves and followers this duty of reap portionment as personal right. The famous Shay's Rebellion is one of the most heralded, and his- torical of these attempts at estab- fishing true democracy.

Lake Success, N. Y.-The United Nations has assigned a team of scholars, diplomats, lawyers and journalists to compile a human rights yearbook to answer such questions as What human rights, individual and group freedoms and civil liberties are guaranteed to man by his government through out the World?"
 Recommended last spring by the Human Righs Commission and the Economic and Social Council, the yearbook will include complete texts of all declarations and bills of rights throughout the world and other constitutional texts on in- dividual and social freedoms and principal laws of 1946 affecting these freedoms.
 We wonder if the book will men, ton the fact that amongst the peoples of America that are guar anteed these human rights under Article W, section 4, of the Na- tional Constitution, are the resi-

$1,2OO a year to $2,2OO. The basis for this action was a recent bill passed in Congress voting congress men a retirement pension of 75% of their annual increment and considering the cost of living and the size of the National Re- tirement Fund for Postal Clerks, the convention felt justified in it's demands for like treatment. In other words, What's sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander."
 The body assembled also went on record as recommending more fair longevity law, in which old employees would immediately be given credit for the number of years they have worked in the past. As the law now stands, all employees will not achieve full credit until r years have passed. Under this present law older em- ployeeS in the service never will achieve a full salary under longe- vity as they will have retired be- fore the next IT years have passed.

Tn looking for means to increase the states revenues" said the AFL leader, "Connecticut's legisla- tive leaders are following the counsel of the selfish, dominant business interests who prefer to impose additional burdens upon those in the lower income groups, rather than to take some upon their better protected backs. It will be recalled that the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce at the be- ginning of the year stated its pref erence for consumers sales tax. "
 Charging that the committee that made a hurried trip to Ohio" had prejudged the issue and brought back precisely what it went to find,' MT. Rourke declared that its prediction that labor's opposition would dwindle rapidly during the first six months of operation and would largely disappear within one year" was wishful thinking.
 Let the committee understand" he said, "that labor is unalterably opposed to a plan of tax raising that hits the poor the hardest"
 "As if the cost of living were not high enough" MT. Rourke added, "and with tenants facing higher rents because of the pressure of landlord lobbyists, our state legis- lators now propose to add the straw that will break the camel's back.
 ITO avoid the discontent among the masses of our people that is bound to follow the passage of 8 state sales tax law, I suggest that our state fiscal experts give serious
