MORE TROUBLE AHEAD

The present work stoppage by longshoremen m Alaska will probably be followed by another by the sailors on September 30 Shipping operators con- tracts with the seamen expire that date and this union has already announced that it is grdng for a showdown fight against the Taft-Hartley Act.
 The sailors plan to test the anti-closed shop pro- vision of the new labor law which probably means that they will hold for contract provision which would specify only hiIing through the union. The sailors also will ask for wage increases of at least pSr cent.
 Meanwhile it looks like battle between the longshoremen and the sailors is coming to head in the present strike.
 The sailors have contract with shipping oper- ators in Alaska providing that in loading and un- loading in Alaska ports sailors will be used to work the ships matches first then if extra men are needed longshoremen will be put aboard However, the long shoremen insisting that they be allowed to do all of this work The poor shipping operator is in the middle on this If he gives in to the ongshore- men he violates agreement with the sailors. Un- less he yields the stevedores, they won't go back to work
 On August 22, the big guns of the aft-Hartley Act will go into action, unless they fizzle out It's likely that things will be hung up until then

 It may be that in the name of justice or some thing else, Congress the States will eventually take action to make available in all States the benefits of division of family income between spouses Congress deliberately chose not to write such pro- vision into the bill just vetoed Therefore Secretary Snyder cannot for a moment have believed that the subject was new to Congress. What motives he his associates in the Treasury Department had for bring up the topic the day after the veto may left to mystery story fans to discover. In any event. he cannot have seriously supposed that this straight faced production of four unindorsed. unrecommended remedies would persuade anybody that the Truman Administration is in favor of tax reduction

NEW WAR SECRETARY

It is probably unique Tn Amerl- can history that a man should be picked as Secretary of War part ly because of his defense of Nazl saboteurs who landed off Lcng Island by submarine. However, if it had not been for his bril- liant, though unsuccessful defense of the Nazi saboteurs. Kenneth Royal today would not be Secre- tary of War.
 What happened was that Henry L. Stimson, then Secretary of War, felt that the United States should lean over backward to give the Nazis the benefit of a fair trial. He wanted to show Europe and the world that a democracy was the exact opposite of Hitler, that every man, no matter what the crime, had the benefit of a trial. So at the recommendation of Su- preme Court Justice Felix Frank furter, Royall was made chief de- fense counsel.

Army contracts, onlJ 1000 now remained unsettled; 30,000 court martial cases have been reviewed and 80 percent of the sentences reduced or set aside. Also l5,000 Army prisoners have been restor- ed to duty and given a new chance.
 Royall's appointment to head the Army sets a unique record for Justice Frankfurter. He has now been directly of indirectly respon- siblS for the selection of three Secretaries of War Henry L.. Stimson, Judge Robert Patterson, and Kenneth Royal But despite what some people consider the handicap of his sponsor, Royall will do a good job.

No civilian lawyer wanted to de- lend the Nazis, but Royal, then colonel, had to obey orders. His brilliant argument attracted wide spread attention The Nazi sabo- teurs got the death sentence, but few criminals have been more ably defended, and the man who de- fended them was marked for ad- vaneement to bigger things inside the War Department.
 Though Royall is product or the Harvard Law School, where he graduated at the top Of his class and became protege of Felix Frankfurter, it was in North Carolina that he really learned his courtroom technique. In Colds toro, N. o. they tell how, re- turning to the drugstore after arguing a case, Royal was com plimentcd on his speech.

Here It Comes.

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Here what comes? Surprise! It's the bill for that amazing equalization of the coal operators to the exactions of John L. Lewis on behalf of his United Mine Workers.
 And who will pay the bill? The government? No The operators? No The distributors? No The dealers? No.
 Who, then? Well you might well know-YOU will pay the bill. spokesman for the Cincinnati Coal and Coke Merchants Association reveals that the retail prices of home delivered and industrial coal advancing average of $155 to $l65 a ton. It's the biggest single price increase in the retail quotations coal without recollection. Next winter it will constitute real hardship among low income coal users, since coal wasn't cheap to begin with The impact upon utility rates is unpredctable but is bound to have ultimate effect upon them too.
 Yes it's very stiff bill you will have to pay for John L. Lewis having gotten his way again-in fact having gotten his entire way. The sole consolation is the hope-and it is little more than hope that this time Lewis will honor the contract he signed and the United Mine Workers will give honest days production throughout the term of the contract Mind ful of Lewiss recordand mindful of how his appetite grows with each feeding-We will need con- vncing before believe anybody will benefit by the surrender except Lewis and his cohorts

 This watchdog committee was an innovation m the statute of great importance. We might not have run into the need for comprehensive statute II pro- vision had been made in the Wagner Act for change in the light of experience. But organized labor bot tied up the Senate Labor Committee; 1t refused to
 limit the need for any change it declined to cooperate with Congress in the effort which resulted in the Taft Hartley Act; and it appears it will do nothing to help the joint Congressional com mittee to revise the handiwork of Congress as time goes on More's the pity The stffnecked and venge- ful attitude shown by the socalled unity committee in New York is a reminder of Representative Mon roneys observation during the Taft-Hartey debate.

MOST BEAUTIFUL CABINET
 WIFE


 Royall served in the field ar tillery in World War I, came out as a lieutenant. married Margaret Best of Warsaw, N. C., one of the test-looking girls in North Carolina Today she is the best looking lady in the Truman Cabi- net.
 Gradually Royall built up law practice netting him $50,000 year. But he also took time to run for the North Carolina Senate and did great deal of work for Negroes. James E. Shepard, pres ident of the North Carolina Col lege for Negroes, pays tribute to Royal as the best friend his race has in the state.
 In World War II, Royall served as colonel on the staff of the highly controversial General Bre- hon Somervell where at times he was just as brassy as any brass hat in the regular Army perhaps more so. In fact, Royall has been queer mixture of bhilliancy and buster, can be as meek as a rookie or roar like a top sergeant when his toes are stepped on.
 Underneath, however he is hu- man and Warmhearted, and of late be hes definitely oalmed down.
 As Undersecretary of War. Royall had the unexciting but necessary job of getting rid of surplus prop erty, stockpiling for future emer- gencies, winding up Army con- tracts and handling courts-mar- tial. His record: out of 480,000

WARNING ZONES

ST. LOUIS, July 8. -(R)- Pistol
Pete Reiser, recuperating from the
latest of his many collisions with
ball park fences while trying for
fly balls, believes many such ac-
cidents could be prevented by Gin
der warning zones just inside out
field walls.
THE best thing they could do is
to build a cinder path about three
or four feet wide about ten feet
from the fence" the Brooklyn
Dodger fly chaser said before leav-
ing his st. Louis home today to
join his club.
"As soon as your spikes touch
the path, you'll subconsciously
break stride, and while you still
may hit the fence, it won't be
head-on. They have one like that
at Wrigley Field, Chicago, and I've
never had any trouble there"
Out of the lineup since his fence
busting experience June 4, Reiser
said he still had dizzy spells and
did not know how soon he would be
able to play. "But I'm feeling bet
ter all the time," he said.

JACOBS PITCHES
PERFECT CONTEST
BY JIGGs POWERS

WHITEVILLE, July 8-C0le
Jacobs, Whiteville's ace left
handler. carved his name In
baseball's hall Of fame here
this afternoon when he pitch
ed a no-hit no-run game as his
Whiteville Legion team mates
shut out the Laurinburg jun
iors 80.
In fashioning his master
piece, Jacobs, who is known
as "The Goof", walked not a
man and famed eight. The
game was cut short to seven
innings because of rain. 1t was
the third time this season that
the local portsider had licked
the Scotland county nine. They
are also the only team that
holds a win over him.
Andy Anderson, centerfield-
er, was the big man in the
Whiteville attack, hitting a
double and a triple In three
trips, the latter coming in the
fourth inning with the bases
full. Whiteville got six hits
off Currie and Shives. The
win gives the locals = half
game advantage over the idle
Wilmington Junior nine. White
ville's next game will be In
Laurinburg, with Rudy VII
liams probably on the mound.
